Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 143 The Starry Silver Throne, Displaying its Power for the First Time!
Xia Fa thought about it more and more and felt that this method was feasible. Five hundred thousand gold pounds, anyway, it's free money.

As for how to do it, it's very simple. First, enter the Silver Throne state, then crush the candy to summon Prince Justinian and collect the reward.

As for the idea of ​​recruiting him... he was already a nobleman of the Augu Kingdom, so it was unlikely that he would join another country, and other countries might not believe him either, whether it was the Wave Moon Empire or the Cloth Bag Dynasty.

Orpheus was already riding on the traveling slime; otherwise, with her petite stature of 1.5 meters, she really wouldn't have been able to see the notice in the crowded throng.

"Hmph~, it costs 500,000 gold pounds just to meet? No wonder my father was so excited when he heard about it last night."

She muttered something, turned to look at Xia Fa, and suddenly smiled maliciously:

"Xia Fa, why are you staring at my feet? Do you want to kiss them?"

Shafa was actually observing the traveling slime, but Offe happened to be to his left. When he turned to look at the traveling slime, Offe's fair little feet were dangling in that direction, quite alluring.

"No, you misunderstood. I was observing your secret spirit."

"I don't believe it! You definitely had an ulterior motive for approaching me!"

"Didn't you approach me first?"

Hmm...that seems to be true?

Aw realized that this seemed to be true, so she blushed and forcibly changed the subject:
"Shafa, would you like to go on an adventure with me today? This is your chance."

Xia Fa shook his head:
"No, I still prefer being alone."

Auf was taken aback, not expecting to be rejected by Xiafa twice, whereas she was the one who usually rejected others.

But immediately, as if realizing something, a sly look appeared on her childish face:
"I get it, you're trying to play hard to get with me, but I'm not falling for it, hmph~"

Xia Fa smiled somewhat helplessly:

"Let's get together again next time. Okay, I have to go hunting now."

When he arrived at the Mist God Hunting Grounds today, he was eager to test his current strength. He immediately turned around, walked out of the hall, and headed towards the misty forest.

"Hey, Xia Fa, you still need to be careful! Don't go too deep, be careful!"

Auf's voice rang out behind her, and Xia Fa, with his back to her, casually raised his hand and waved to reassure her.

Immediately, he stepped into the hunting ground covered with fallen leaves.

Compared to yesterday, the area within a radius of about 100 kilometers at the exit of the Mist God Hunting Ground has been almost completely cleared, and there are hardly any supernatural creatures left to see.

Of course, ordinary animals can't see them either; they're probably still hiding deep within the Fog God's Hunting Grounds.

It will be several days after the supernatural beings have cleared out all the supernatural creatures from the Mist God Hunting Grounds and left, and the Mist God Hunting Grounds have returned to peace. Only then will the ordinary animals emerge and return to their respective habitats.

When that time comes, the refugees will move back in, and everything will return to normal.

The commotion caused by the refugees' hunting was far less than the earth-shattering battle between the superhumans and supernatural creatures, and it didn't scare away ordinary animals.

Xia Fa had a clear destination: he headed directly southwest of the Mist God Hunting Grounds.

After walking for about fifty kilometers, he finally encountered his first superhuman.

The man, who appeared to be a clergyman from the Church of Nature, walked alone. When he saw Xia Fa in the distance, he nodded to him as a greeting.

"An elephant-level superhuman..."

Xia Fa nodded in response, his spiritual intuition scanning the area and sensing Xia Fa's rank.

This little incident did not affect his journey. In the misty hunting grounds, the wind blew from time to time, stirring up the fallen leaves on the ground and making them rustle like waves.

It was a bit chilly because it was early morning.

As Xia Fa walked, he encountered other extraordinary individuals.

It was a five-person team composed of clergy from the Church of Nature and the Church of the Silver.

They were fighting a supernatural creature the size of a whale, a giant tree frog covered in bumps that would burst open from time to time, spraying out highly corrosive acid.

Two tall clergymen stood in front, one spreading out a shield of light, the other holding up a giant diamond-shaped shield.

Behind them, two other clergymen were desperately attacking.

A figure manipulated countless circular blades made of leaves, which fluttered and continuously sliced ​​through the tree frog's body.
The other one spread its arms wide, making a gesture of prayer towards the sky, and then a golden beam of light descended from the sky, striking the giant tree frog.

The last clergy member standing at the very end was a quiet young woman who was constantly waving her pale hands, from which wisps of water vapor emanated and flowed into the bodies of the other four clergy members.

As Xia Fa traveled, he watched with great interest for a while, feeling that it resembled the fighting style of a warrior-mage-priest.

"Compared to the noble students, the church's elite seem to be considerably weaker..."

Recalling Daponz's magical mechanical cannon, comparable to a ship's cannon, and the sight of Poincaré's arms rolling with magma, easily annihilating elephant-level supernatural creatures, plus the sight of Off driving a traveling slime to devour its target...

Xia Fa finally understood why the church had more than sixty places, twice as many as the number of noble students.

"It seems that the true elites of the nine churches are all in God's kingdom on earth..."

The nine churches are all powerful forces with churches spread throughout the entire universe, not to mention that behind them are the nine true gods—the nine strongest beings in the world.

Therefore, regional church elites like these may not be as competitive as aristocratic students who have enjoyed privileged upbringing.

But if those true church elites who could be selected to enter the earthly kingdom of God were to make a move... I'm afraid the entire Kingdom of Augu wouldn't be able to produce anyone of the same age who could compare.

Of course, besides myself.

Xia Fa, quite smugly praising himself, saw that the five people were not in any danger and were about to defeat the giant tree frog, so he withdrew his gaze and continued on his way.

The bushes began to grow more, and vines of various thicknesses and types began to entwine among the towering trees. Some of the vines hung down and even bore tempting fruits.

Xia Fa picked one at random. It looked like a strawberry, bright red and plump, about the size of a pineapple.

He took a bite, but his face immediately contorted in pain:

"Poisonous..." Fortunately, his blood vessels were filled with mystical living silver, so this small amount of toxicity was instantly neutralized.

"No wonder nobody eats it, and no animals eat it either..."

Xia Fa casually tossed the strawberry aside and continued on his way. As the fog gradually thinned, a labyrinth of plants, interwoven with various shrubs, vines, and giant leaves, appeared before him.

Guided by memory, he meandered through the crowd, parted a few huge leaves, and stepped into a small pond.

The small pool was very shallow, barely reaching the ankles, and so clear that you could see the grayish-white rocks at the bottom. Many small fish swam around in the pool, duckweed floated on the surface, and a few tree frogs sat blankly on the bank, one of them with a black beetle in its mouth.

The scene was incredibly serene. Just yesterday, this place was nothing but muddy ground covered with fallen leaves, but today it has become full of life.

That's right, this is the place that was corroded by the Venomous Tree Centipede yesterday, and then purified by the fiery red beads it spat out.

Whether on the rocks at the bottom of the pool or on the surrounding tree trunks, you can see pits of all sizes and scratches of varying lengths, which are traces left by Xia Fa and the Venomous Tree Centipede.

He deliberately controlled the area yesterday, fighting only within a radius of one kilometer to avoid destroying the local ecosystem, which would more or less affect the refugees who would move in later.

Unexpectedly, the ecology here has not only not been destroyed, but has become even richer!
buzzing-

A honeybee carrying a honey sac flew past Xiafa. Xiafa casually grabbed it, snatched the honey sac, and began to drink deeply from the opening.

Helpless, the honeybee waved its forelegs at Xiafa in the air before flying away into the distance.

This honey worm is a supernatural creature mutated from a bee, and one of the few that managed to escape this hunt because it does not harm people; it only likes to collect pollen from flowers and brew sweet honey.

Xia Fa had just finished drinking when he suddenly felt a huge shadow loom over him from behind.

At first glance, the shadow was long and narrow, like a giant python standing up. Xia Fa was startled, but then his eyes lit up with joy, and he turned around.

Behind him stood a venomous tree centipede with a brightly colored shell, its small, dark eyes fixed on him, its hundreds of carapace segments undulating like waves.

It opened its mouthparts and spat out a stream of purple poisonous gas, which quickly condensed into secret text:
You're here!
Xia Fa also responded by condensing azure energy into a secret text:
Haha, right, it seems to be around 11 a.m. now. Shall we set off?

The Venomous Tree Centipede responded in cryptic language:
Yes, yes! Right now, the sun is about to reach its highest point in the sky, and when Helios's power reaches its peak, that's when the bear's power will be at its weakest!
Helios...

Xia Fa's gaze narrowed slightly. Helios is the name for the sun in mysticism.

He had never known why it was called that before, but now it seemed that it was because these supernatural beings naturally called the sun by that name, so the great scholars of the church continued to use it.

Without hesitation, Xia Fa immediately replied in coded language:

Okay, let's go!
The Venomous Tree Centipede shook its enormous head up and down, turned around, and its python-like body flattened the surrounding bushes before it swam away at high speed in a certain direction.

Xia Fa immediately followed, but as he ran, he realized that he could no longer keep up with the speed of the Venomous Tree Centipede.

It unleashed the speed befitting a demigod, almost transforming into a streak of seven-colored light, and ventured deep into the southwest direction of the Mist God Hunting Grounds!

Xia Fa suddenly changed to taking long strides and running forward. As he took a step, his body was instantly enveloped by a massive amount of star-blue mercury, transforming him into a silver-white metallic humanoid figure wrapped in starlight.

The moment he landed, his 3.5-meter-tall figure suddenly vanished from his spot like starlight contracting, instantly appearing far ahead, directly closing a significant distance between himself and the Venomous Tree Centipede.

Only where he landed and arrived did a small amount of star-blue steam spread out.

It was the Star Silver Charge ability that was upgraded to... Star Silver Flash!
Xia Fa took a few more steps and flashed around in a row, instantly traversing a long distance and arriving at the side of the Venomous Tree Centipede!
The venomous tree centipede stopped abruptly, turning its python-like body and scrutinizing him with its small, dark eyes.

It had already recognized that Xiafa was completely different from yesterday. Not only had it grown to 3.5 meters tall, but its hands and feet were also wrapped in tranquil starlight, and the spikes on its shoulders, elbows, and knees had turned into a deep purplish-black color, with twinkling starlight inside.

Its originally ferocious and majestic appearance was now imbued with an ancient, sublime mystery, making the Venomous Tree Centipede feel an instant urge to worship it.

It is... the Silver Throne in its Starshine Silver Mercury state!
The venomous tree centipede exhaled poisonous gas, which quickly formed cryptic runes in the air:

What are you doing?
Xia Fa slashed through the air with his claw-like fingers, responding with star-blue mercury:

I've gotten a little stronger, all thanks to your sparring with me yesterday.
The Venomous Tree Centipede responded in cryptic language:
Amazing! You change even more than I do every time I molt!
Xia Fa smiled and replied in coded language:
Yes, that's perfect. Once we kill that bear, I can take you out and continue our journey.
The Venomous Tree Centipede shook its head and nodded. This time, it didn't need to wait for Xia Fa. It unleashed its full speed and covered dozens of kilometers in the blink of an eye.

Xiafa was able to keep up, constantly using Star Silver Flash to follow behind it.

He did not choose to use the usual Silver Throne form because Xia Fa had already figured out one thing.

Firstly, the form resulting from the fusion of the Silver Throne and the Starry Body is definitely much stronger than the ordinary Silver Throne, and far superior to the ordinary Starry Body.

Since there's a stronger form available, why not use it?

Secondly, Dick Tudor said that once he could successfully fuse the core secret ability of the Silver Throne and the Gate of Stars, he would have a unique Silver Throne form.

In this situation, without any past examples to refer to, very few people can recognize the origin of this form, so he is not afraid of being guessed by others, and he has signed a second hegemon-level secret contract.

After all, there are quite a few high-level secret contracts related to the universe and starry sky, such as "Starlight Shadow" and "Starlight Leech".

Even ordinary secret contracts contain secret contracts for "stargazers".

Given the common perception that "a future monarch can only sign one hegemonic-level secret agreement" or "no one has ever been able to sign two hegemonic-level secret agreements,"
Many people who see his new form will probably only think that it is the result of his fusion of "Rhine Silver Mercury" with advanced secret contracts such as "Starlight Shadow" and "Starlight Leech", and will not associate it with a hegemonic secret contract like "Gate of Stars".

Therefore, Xia Fa had long understood that as long as he did not enter the Celestial Spirit Realm in the form of the Starry Silver Throne, there was nothing to fear.

Why not use a more powerful form and instead increase the risk and decrease the safety? That would be crazy.
Starry Silver Throne – this is the name Xia Fa gave to his new form, a name that sounds incredibly beautiful, overflowing with literary talent, erudite and highly learned.

The Venomous Tree Centipede suddenly stopped and came to the outside of a cave.

Xia Fa stopped immediately, his heart pounding.

This was, after all, his first time going all out to deal with a demigod, unlike the previous time he had tested each other with the Venomous Tree Centipede.

Moreover, it seems that the giant bear is even more powerful than the Venomous Tree Centipede.

So, can I, in my Eagle-class form, actually win?

If he can win, it will be of great significance, as it means he will be able to officially begin the hunt for Pompeii, the demigod!

Standing at a height of three and a half meters, Xia Fa was a head taller than the venomous tree centipede when it stood upright. At this moment, filled with trepidation and anticipation, he looked over the top of the venomous tree centipede's head and down into the cave.

Then, he saw something that was completely unexpected.
