Round 2

Gu Changga stepped through a rift in space, appearing within the universe known as Leone. It has been 5 long years since he was last here, but after leaving to do some training, he has returned, stronger than ever.

Honestly, to the system, even 1,000 destiny points would have been a lot. but he had gained 5 million off the bat. The amount of abilities, techniques, and cultivation art he could buy was a lot. He had of course not forgotten to go after other Favored Sons Of Heavens, allowing him to quickly understand what the system was like.

"Looks like he had left the planet." Standing on the blue star, Gu Changga spread out his spiritual sense but found the person he was searching for wasn't there. Gu Changga looked out into the void of space, before shooting off.

Gu Changga shot off, at speeds that should never appear within the lower realm, he shot off at speeds millions of times greater than light... yet space or time wasn't ripped apart, he skillfully controlled his speed.

In a matter of minutes, Gu Changga arrived within a part of a galaxy that had teleportation formation. Not wanting to waste time, Gu Changga went on to just pay and start teleporting towards the Leone galaxy, this would save him a few days as he could reach that place in a few hours.

Upon arriving within the Leone Galaxy, he went on to go to the Leone planet, where he had old Ming appear, showing off the fact he was an immortal to quickly force the Saint King to come out and be respectful.

"Lord Immortal," A golden-haired man said while quickly appearing before Gu Changga, paying his respect. Although the Leone royal family had a connection within the immortal realm, this was an immortal. he would be a fool to not give an immortal the respect they deserved.

"I'm here looking for someone called Wu Xian." Gu Changga said indifferently while looking at the Leone emperor, he noticed how the guy had no thumbs, which was weird. The Leone emperor's pupils shrank hearing that name, slight hatred flashed across his eyes remembering that hateful super handsome, amazing guy.

Gu Changga's eyebrow raised seeing the Emperor's reactions, snapping his finger, the Leone Emperor went blank, his mind under Gu Changga's control.

"Tell me everything about him." Gu Changga said

"Wu Xian had created an organization a little over 5 years ago. This organization was called Limitless, and I had taken a loan from the organization which I didn't pay back. This earned me being captured and blindfolded..." Gu Changga listened closely...

Flashback...

Within a light dim room, the Leone emperor was sitting on a chair, wrapped up in a rope and unable to move an inch. He was shaking in fear, although he had a strong will, and was capable, the fact he was captured so easily and couldn't even do a thing to resist scared him. The torture that awaited him was surely going to be hell.

"Well, emperor man. you owe me some money." A light voice broke the silence, scaring the Leone emperor. the blindfold around his eyes was removed, and there he saw me, sitting backward on a chair while looking at him. If my voice was filled with the intent to torture, it wouldn't have been as scary as my light and peaceful voice.

"I'm Wu Xian, the leader of Limitless. I see from the papers here, that you took a loan of... wow, a million rank 9 spirit stones of the highest grade. That pretty much doubled your empire wealth." I said with a smile, looking at the papers in front of me.

"So... where is my money?" I asked with a light smile, but I didn't give him a chance to speak.

"In the short time I was a leader of an organization, I have learned how important it is to use fear to control others. Of course, too much fear would lead people to rise and fight back." I said as from behind me, Jasmine appeared. She glared at me, before waving her hand. The Leone emperor found himself free... but he had no control of his body, leading to his hands being forcefully placed on the table.

"What is the most important finger a human has? The answer to this is a thumb. its thumbs that allow us to take hold of things. swords, the string of a blow, and even many cultivation arts are built around the thumb." I said while Jasmine pulled out a knife.

"This knife would cut the fate of your thumb... in other words, no matter what you do, you would never regrow a thumb. You can't even replace it with a fake thumb. As of this moment, you are fated to never have such a thing." I said while the Leone emperor's pupils shrunk.

"Wait!" He said before letting out a scream of pain as the knife cut into his thumb. the pain wasn't from losing a thumb, that pain was nothing to someone like himself who had lived for millions of years. the pain was from his fate being cut off,

"Stop! Please!" He cried to Jasmine, who was not interested in listening to the cries of an ant. The knife wasn't sharp, and it annoyed her as she had to start slamming it down upon the thumb, causing the Leone emperor's cries to grow. I looked at this in shock, Jasmine could have just used Qi to enhance the sharpness of the knife.

Soon, two thumbs were in my hands. I looked at the Leone Emperor who was in tears, at the pain he had just felt.

"Well, in 3 days I need my money. That would be 5 million Rank 9 Spirit stones." I said causing the Leone Emperor's face to go pale. he only got a loan of 1 million Rank 9 Spirit Stones, and now he had to pay 5 times that?

"If you're thinking of going against that deal... well, let's say the pain today would feel like the warmth from a mother hug. I will take everything you have to repay it, I will even chain your fate to me, making you a slave that would forever work under me." I said with a gentle smile, and with that, the Leone Emperor was sent back to his throne in his empire.

He had fearfully sold everything to pay off his loan. At first, he aimed to fight back, but hearing how another power from another universe had fought back and was destroyed... well, let's say he didn't dare to fight back.

Flash Back End

"I see..." Gu Changga said lightly, lost in thought. He didn't expect me to have created my organization.

"They have a branch within a Galaxy they have claimed, they call it The Limitless Galaxy. In the short amount of time they have been around, they have conquered a galaxy within every universe, and have a branch on at least every planet to do business." He said blankly, to which Gu Changga sighed in annoyance.

Blue Star planet was located within the now Limitless Galaxy. He just left there. Sighing, and in no interest in wasting another hour, he had Old Ming just open a portal to that location. With a step, he arrived at Blue Star. There should be a branch here, so he went to a nearby kingdom and quickly found that there was a branch spread all over the planet, from the sea and even within the wild beast.

Entering a bar, Gu Changga was met with a young man whose eyes were closed, fast asleep. Gu Changga easily noticed this young man was connected to a dream world. a dream world that was shockingly blocked from him from entering, and sensing within.

It took some time, but he soon located where the heart of the dream world was located. It was within the strongest universe... it wasn't even hidden as whoever had this core was letting it be out in the open.

Sighing, he disappeared, and the young man who was just asleep opened one eye and looked toward where Gu Changga had just disappeared. 

"He was strong." The young man said with a frown, his instinct told him that man couldn't be from the lower realm. He sighed while going back to sleep. His mind connected with the dream world where many members of Limitless were currently walking around, doing their own thing. some were getting ready to go train, while others were just hanging around and relaxing.

He used the authority of a branch leader to fly, which caught many people's attention as having the power to fly meant you were outstanding. there were an infinite number of branches in just one universe alone, the fact there was a branch in so many universes, and many more to come, for anyone to stand out and become a branch leader meant you were a genius.

he shot towards a building where members of the organization came to submit information. he landed before there, and a woman came to see what he had.

"A strange young man came to my branch, I have a feeling he sensed the dream world. I also have a feeling his martial arts might rival Lord Limitless." The young man said while controlling the dream world to some degree to create an image of Gu Changga, which he submitted to the woman along with his own information.

"Alright, I will let the high-ups know of this. Your payment would all be on how valuable they think this information was or could be." She said seriously as information on something like this might be big. The young man just nodded while flying off,

The information was quickly submitted and within the center of the dream world, Qin Wentian frowned. why? As this was his dream, he knew almost everything that was going on, he just filtered out everything and only took in what was important, and Gu Changga was important. 

He sighed softly while leaving the dream world, although this was his dream, it at the same time didn't need him. I had created an item to take over the need for him to be dreaming or even alive for the dream world to continue existing. Qin Wentian didn't even need to enter that place every time he went to sleep.

"He is fast." He said sensing Gu Changga who had arrived. Gu Changga was far away, but it was not like Gu Changga had hidden his aura. Qin Wentian sighed while teleporting over, and there he saw Gu Changga in the air, looking at the world of never-ending snow.

He was looking at the majestic castle of Ice, it was huge, something he wasn't sure could appear within the lower realm. It was beautiful. But his eyes were pulled from the castle, and to the falling snow. He let out his palm and watched as the snow landed on his palm, but it didn't simply disappear. it instead tried to freeze everything about him, but it wasn't enough to do such things.

"..." He frowned, as snow like this should only be found within the immortal realm. he was sure something like this couldn't be found down here... but his attention once more was called down, where he saw me walking on space towards him.

"What's up?" I asked while looking at Gu Changga with a smile, Gu Changga sized me up and was shocked to see how much my cultivation had improved. Be it my body, Qi, and soul, they were all at level 7 Qi Condensation. Remember, I had Black Grade talent. This was considered fast.

"I came for that duel." Gu Changga said with a grin, he would be lying if he said in the years he was away, he wasn't looking forward to fighting me. In fact, after seeing how martial arts could help him skip levels, he had truly pushed himself to a point where he got lost in the profound ways of martial arts

"Well, then come at me," I said with a smirk, Gu Changga laughed before lowering his cultivation to level 7 Qi Condensation. With a flash, Gu Changga made the first move, shooting towards me.

I waved my hand, blocking his fist. there were no shock waves from his punch as all of the power from his fist was controlled skillfully. even so, I held out my other hand, and the power from that punch was sent flying outwards, and into Gu Changga's chest.

'Skillfully controlling my power and sending it back towards me? I expected nothing less.' Gu Changga grinned while dodging the counterattack. We traded countless blows, yet no sounds, or booms were created.

"Not bad, but let's kick it up a level," I said with a grin seeing how high his martial arts were, he went beyond my expectations with the short amount of time he had. After all, time moved slower within the immortal realm. So for me, it has been 5 years, but was it the same for him?

I went on to start using what I called Ultra Instinct, and every move I made became perfect. My Instinct took over, allowing everything I did to just be perfect. the timing, movement, and down to the force. It was perfect. 

Gu Changga also stopped holding back, and instead of simply using perfect movements, he was seemingly doing more than 100%. This made my eyebrow raise, as this was something new to me, this instantly put me on the losing end, forcing me to quickly start defending.

"I expected as much. Within the lower realm, there are 100% purity pills. in the immortal realm, some pills go beyond 100%. This got me wondering if I could go beyond perfection." Gu Changga said with a grin, to which I laughed... before suddenly using Stanceless.

Gu Changga not expecting this found himself almost having his chin kissing my knee, but this led to us being even.

"This is called Stanceless. Why you walked the path of going past 100%, I went down the path of expanding upon what that 100% means." I said with a smile. I punched forward, which Gu Changga quickly dodged. Gu Changga looked at my fist which was simply fast, yet held no build-up or anything behind it. Yet using Stanceless, that punch would have the full impact of an attack that had the perfect stance behind it.

Gu Changga grinned as his movement grew, going further past 100%. Although with his current understanding of martial arts, he could copy other martial arts, he didn't. He wanted to show his path was the strongest, and I wanted to show my path was the strongest.

"This is completely Stanceless!" I cried while I stopped moving altogether, Gu Changga suddenly moved, crossing his hands. he felt like he just blocked a punch, yet clearly, I didn't make a move.

"This is Martial arts that reached 150%." Gu Changga moved, dodging all of the attacks that went beyond cause and effect. Slowly, he closed in on me and punched me. Yet my defense that went beyond cause and effect just worked with me not needing to act to block.

"How long did you take to reach this?" I asked with a smile, I could see the hard work he had put into this.

"I entered a time room, a total of 6 million years I spent asleep within." Gu Changga said with a smile. How did he know of my ability to fall asleep and train in my dreams? He paid a good amount to the system to get all of my information, and he went on to start trying to gain all of that and upgraded it. He first bought a sleeping skill from the system, which allowed him to train within his dream. from there, he began to upgrade it, until his dreams were no different from reality, and he had full mastery of his dreams. every improvement within his dream, his body gained as if his main body was training.

But things went deeper than that, he had come across many favored sons of the heavens, who all had amazing treasures, which he took for himself. Some even had overpowered cultivation arts which he also took.

"Although my system can upgrade anything, it can't upgrade martial arts. But what I could do was buy an enlightenment pill, before going to sleep. In reality, the pill would last 8 hours, but for me, it would last thousands of years within my dreams." Gu Changga said with a grin. I grinned seeing that, before I began moving.

Gu Changga's eyes widened, what would happen when Complete Stanceless is combined with me using stances? We clashed at high speed, but Gu Changga was sent backward with every move. Every move I threw, was infinitely worse than before, leaving Gu Changga having to fall into defense.

"Complete Stanceless Art: Limitless Kicks!" I said while my kick moved at high speed, and with a flash, Gu Changga found himself being hit from all sides by a kick. Gu Changga coughed up a mouthful of blood, he felt like an infinite number of kicks had just hit him.

He would have died if he didn't start using the power his cultivation gave him. All this time, we had simply used strength at level 7 Qi Condensation... and yes, with just that level of power, we had both reached the levels of a Quasi Golden-Immortal... but this new show of martial arts from me had reached Quasi Immortal King.

"I might have lost, but within the same level, I'm unmatched!" Gu Changga said with a deep frown.

Gu Changga was truly a monster, and with his power to steal fortune from others, his growth potential was far greater than most. Given the chance, he could grow beyond all of the other Favered sons of heaven. As of this moment, he was amongst the first people to join me in the tier of skipping stages.

At first, his martial arts skills allowed him to jump that first infinity and touch upon that second infinity. What about his potential to skip levels using his cultivation? Surely, he didn't forget to create his cultivation art?

Adding every cultivation art he had gained, and the long time he had to work on things within his dreams, he had of course created the best cultivation art that best suited his needs. A cultivation art which gave him the power to devour it all, and make it his own. His capability had reached the Quasi Golden Immortal realm.

"Naw, below the immortal realm... I'm unmatched." I said with a grin, Gu Changga's pupils shrank, and with a flash, he was sent shooting back while coughing up a mouthful of blood. Gu Changga landed on the ground while holding his chest. He looked up, just in time to dodge a kick from me, but Gu Changga realized I had held back greatly behind that kick.

Gu Changga let out a roar, pushing himself to the peak. We both moved at high speed, yet Gu Changga refused to accept defeat. Many times in his dream he fought someone many times stronger than himself, he didn't fear fighting those far above him in power... plus, his strength at the moment wasn't at Quasi Immortal King, he couldn't use his trump card without drawing unwanted attention.

'He is devouring my cultivation.' I thought while sensing my cultivation being sucked towards him. it was weak and it couldn't leave me, with how tight of a hold I had on my capability, it was hard for them to be stolen.

"So, are we friends?" I asked with a grin, stunning Gu Changga who paused to look at me. I didn't attack and looked at him with a smile. He looked back at me with a smile, with our short spar, it could be said that we both got to understand each other well... we were alike in many ways, and in a way, Gu Changga was better.
