Chapter 79: Flood and Thunder God

After Wang Kun departed, Hong swiftly subdued the Mo Yun Vine, which had already been injured by Wang Kun. Thus, just as in the original storyline, Hong obtained the Mo Yun Vine that resided on Mist Island. Although the cultivation value of this vine was not particularly high, for Hong at this stage, it was already a significant opportunity.

On the outskirts of Mist Island, two representatives from the HR Alliance, upon seeing Hong's arrival, knew their chances for fortune that day were completely lost. Showing tact, they greeted Hong briefly and then departed on their spaceship.

One day later, in Hongning Base City, Wang Kun arrived at the headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, precisely as agreed. This headquarters was the spaceship where Hong lived. In a simple, almost empty room, Wang Kun, Hong, and Thor sat opposite one another, chatting amicably.

“I didn’t expect your strength to improve so rapidly, Wang Kun. By the way, what is your current level?” Thor asked with curiosity.

Hong, seated beside him, looked just as interested. During their previous encounter on Mist Island, Hong had not witnessed Wang Kun in action and was unsure of his exact strength. He only knew that Wang Kun was now a formidable presence, not weaker than himself, and perhaps even stronger due to his psychic abilities.

Facing Thor and Hong’s questions, Wang Kun paused thoughtfully and answered, somewhat conservatively.

“I am now at the fifth rank of the Planetary Level.”

“You’re already at the fifth rank of the Planetary Level? That’s higher than both me and big brother—no wonder your strength is so impressive,” Thor exclaimed in amazement.

“You broke through to the Planetary Level only a few months ago, and now you’ve reached the fifth rank? Clearly, you’ve encountered significant opportunities,” Hong remarked.

Hong understood that Wang Kun’s strength had leapt from the first rank of the Planetary Level to the fifth rank in just a few months. This could only be attributed to an extraordinary ancient civilization inheritance. Otherwise, there was no way to explain Wang Kun’s rapid progress.

Both Hong and Thor knew well the difficulty of advancing at the Planetary Level. If breakthroughs were so easily achieved, neither would have progressed so slowly over decades.

Upon hearing Hong’s observation, Wang Kun did not deny it. He nodded, admitting candidly, “Yes, I did receive an inheritance from a powerful figure of the universe.”

As he spoke, Wang Kun transmitted a set of martial cultivation techniques to Hong and Thor via his portable intelligent assistant. Though this material was not the core secret method of the Inkfall Star lineage, it was far more profound than those recorded in the civilization relics the two had previously acquired.

After all, any cultivation technique collected and preserved by an immortal, even the least of them, would surpass by many times the universe-level methods Hong and Thor had obtained before.

“Big brother, second brother, this material is part of the inheritance I received; it should be of some help to you. Take your time to study it.”

Not long ago, under the guidance of Hong and Thor, Wang Kun had become a member of their circle. Among all the powerful representatives on Earth, only Hong and Thor truly stood at the pinnacle of combat strength. The other representatives were simply not on the same level.

Now, however, Wang Kun’s arrival had disrupted that balance. With the two brothers’ enthusiasm, Wang Kun naturally became their sworn brother as well.
