Global Evolution: I Transplanted the Supreme Divine Heart-Chapter 324 - 321: I Will Surpass Gangxin!

Pengliu Island.

Bai Pu stood bare-chested, muscles knotted, smeared with ointment, gripping a long black weapon overgrown with thorns.

An imitation of the Holy Thorns.

Small spikes pierced into Bai Pu’s palm, and threads of fresh blood flowed out.

Bai Pu steeled his resolve, swinging the Holy Thorns in a half-circle behind his back.

Smack, a blood mark appeared.

Amidst the intense pain, Bai Pu’s mind was a blank.

In this state, Bai Pu’s proficiency in combat skills and Specialty would increase rapidly!

Of course, this was at the risk of his life, with the double bleeding from the cruel admonition, even with Scaly Skin on, Bai Pu dared not exceed one minute.

He seized the time and executed combat skills one after another.

After one minute, Bai Pu panted heavily and put away the Holy Thorns.

He applied a layer of Emergency First Aid Ointment to himself, then sat cross-legged and entered a state of Meditation—

Training Combat Specialization.

This time, in the Genetic Heart Image, Bai Pu materialized two opponents: Emperor Gustav and Cao Zhang.

Among them, Emperor Gustav is configured with a one-handed sword and shield, while Cao Zhang is equipped with a great halberd and rides on horseback.

With Bai Pu’s current Genetic Heart Image Calculation Power, being able to sustain the materialization of a Level 6 Lord and a Level 5 Leader was already the limit.

This setup allowed Bai Pu to simultaneously train in five Combat Specialties: fighting, one-handed swordsmanship, Shield Mastery, long-handled weapons, and riding skills. Meanwhile, Bai Pu’s combat form, holding a Chainsaw Greatsword with both hands, also allowed him to train in Two-Handed Swordsmanship Specialization.

The pressure from Gustav alone on Bai Pu was greater than the combined pressure from Cao Zhang leading four Personal Guards previously.

In such a high-difficulty combat scenario, Bai Pu would have originally been powerless against it and could only brace and withstand the blows. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

But now, Bai Pu had comprehended two Mystical Arts: Gang Wind and Shattering Mountain, one enhancing speed and the other explosive power! Although it was tough, he could barely hold on.

Fortunately, Gustav was a Tank Type Lord, not an output type.

Bai Pu’s familiarity with the two Mystical Arts was also improving, reflected in data terms as an increase in proficiency.

Bai Pu had initially worried that the Genetic Heart Image couldn’t train the Mystical Arts, but now it seems possible.

The Spirit Realm Will should have counted the Mystical Arts as part of Combat Specialization since the Mystical Arts are also a type of skill, generally requiring Advanced Level 7 Combat Specialization as a prerequisite to be comprehended.

...

Pengliu Island, another island.

"Fenghuo boss, have you recovered?" Chen Ge asked. Behind her stood a group of school team members, including the Overlord, though Skywalker Wan Zhen was not seen.

Fenghuo’s face was still somewhat pale, shielding his eyes from the sunlight, "I’ve almost recovered. However, Tianyou is more severely injured and might not make it to the competition. Right now, we’re missing a main lineup player."

A group of substitute players were somewhat excited.

This group of substitutes, the weakest among them were also Level 6 Enhanced Elite, and among them were even those with Hero Professions. However, they were not prominent in the Western Capital University where strong players gathered.

"Do you have any suggestions?" Fenghuo looked at Chen Ge.

Chen Ge sighed, "Let’s have the Overlord take the spot. His Halberd Technique is quite polished and has reached Level 5... Combined with the Famous Relic, the Fangtian Halberd, his output remains strong."

"I have no objections," Wan Ren, clad in heavy armor, said.

"I asked Tianyou, and he also recommended replacing himself with the Overlord."

Fenghuo wearily glanced at the Overlord, "Tianyou, I remember you were in the same class as Gangxin, right? Now Gangxin shines as a main player in the competition, so I believe you’ve long been itching for action."

Chen Ge said lightly, "Gangxin is indeed impressive, and the Border Town Wanderer was driven out by him. It’s hard to believe he’s just an 18-year-old freshman."

Now, Chen Ge had complex feelings about Bai Pu. She had two conflicts with Bai Pu in the Original Sin World, certainly bearing personal grievances.

Yet, considering that if it weren’t for Bai Pu, she might have been drawn into the vortex of competing for the Holy Artifact. Compared to Fenghuo and Skywalker’s dire straits, she felt a sense of relief.

"That guy... a monstrosity." Wan Ren, usually sparing with words, also spoke in praise.

He was also a Preparatory Voter who didn’t see what the Holy Artifact looked like during the arduous exploration of the Original Sin World, hence he was unbelievably shocked Bai Pu could auction the Holy Artifact, still doubting it today.

"Gangxin and the Overlord were in the same session, Gangxin topped the list, but the Overlord wasn’t far behind, second only to him."

Fenghuo looked at the Overlord, smiling, "You’re both Level 5 now, both on the same starting line. I trust you can also unleash great potential."

Evidently, this was predetermined. Among the substitute players, there was no one equal to the Overlord in strength but lacked his significant background and influence.

None of the substitutes dared to oppose.

After all, the four major players on the team—Captain Fenghuo, Tank Wan Ren, Chen Ge, and Skywalker—all unanimously recommended the Overlord. Who would have the courage to voice opposition? At most, they muttered complaints inwardly.

Unexpectedly, the Overlord spoke softly, "I recently want to take a trip to the Spirit Realm, so I won’t participate."

"What?" Fenghuo and the others were stunned. They hadn’t expected that while others would covet such an opportunity, the Overlord would turn it down.

The other substitutes were becoming more eager, looking hopefully at Fenghuo and the others.

Fenghuo frowned at the Overlord, sighed, "Forget it, we’ll discuss the substitute matter later. It’s just a precautionary measure, after all. Tianyou might still be able to participate. His family is seeking a Curios to heal his soul wound. If we’re lucky, he might recover in no time."

As they left, Chen Ge called out to the Overlord.

"Tell me honestly, do you really not want to be part of the main lineup, or are you avoiding facing Gangxin?"

The Overlord remained silent, but Chen Ge understood.

"You... falling behind temporarily is okay, but don’t lose your spirit! You stood out among your peers because of your overwhelming confidence!"

Chen Ge began to give the Overlord a mental pep talk, "The Awakened path is long, and though Gangxin is stronger now, you have richer resources and a stronger background; you’ll eventually catch up!"

"I know. But instead of stepping up to be compared to Gangxin and endure everyone’s ridicule, I’d rather train hard in the Spirit Realm!" The Overlord said solemnly, "I will surpass Gangxin; I’ve never doubted this!"

"Fine. You’ll have to explain it to Aunt Zhou yourself later!"

Chen Ge nodded helplessly, then asked, "Which Plane World do you plan to go to?"

"The Three Kingdoms World!"

The Overlord stroked the black and red Fangtian Halberd (Fake), confidently stating, "When I remove the ’Fake,’ no matter how strong Gangxin is, he won’t be my opponent!"
