The Seventh Base - Chapter 946: 23: Infamy

Chapter 946: Chapter 23: Infamy

After the Mystic God Temple selection opened, the entire focus of Chloe was on this selection process.

Every year, the Mystic God Temple only admits three hundred people, but among the total population of hundreds of billions on Chloe Star, various forces together have over ten thousand recommendation slots, meaning more than ten thousand people participate in the Mystic God Temple selection, which shows how difficult it is.

Even the ten thousand candidates are selected from various Transcendent forces, each one of them is naturally a genius Transcendent.

Chloe Star, with its billion-strong population, only admits three hundred people.

Moreover, those who actually come to participate in the Mystic God Temple selection include not only Chloe Star inhabitants but also genius individuals from other planets in the Chloe province.

Thus, one can imagine how high the gold content is of being able to enter the Mystic God Temple.

Because of this, even though Xu Mo showed exceptionally strong talent, Gao Hong always believed that Xu Mo was likely to enter the Mystic God Temple, rather than a hundred percent sure.

The Mystic God Temple is different from the Church; the Mystic God Temple admits only the elite Transcendents, recruiting only a few thousand people in the O’Brian Republic every year, whereas the Church welcomes more believers, with every planet in the countless stars of the O’Brian Republic having many of their members, with even more believers.

Those who actually enter the Mystic God Temple mean a bright future, they’ll inevitably become strong Transcendents, and there’s a decent chance that a Mystic God Temple Cultivator could become a Skywalker.

Because of this, countless genius Transcendents strive to enter the Mystic God Temple one after another.

This Mystic God Temple selection will surely produce a group of outstanding Transcendents.

All this is unrelated to Xu Mo.

He originally planned to participate in the Mystic God Temple selection, but the incident at Tis Palace made him miss it, so next, he only needs to wait and cultivate, improving his strength a little more before the selection results come out.

At this time, in Xu Mo’s residence, he was lying quietly in the room without moving, with instruments connected to his brain. He was in the Virtual World.

The highly developed technology of Chloe Star has a remarkably complete virtual civilization.

In the Virtual World, there are various arenas for Transcendents to cultivate, trial, and enhance their Combat Power.

Of course, the influence of the Virtual World battlefield is still not as strong as the real world. Humans once immersed themselves in the Virtual World for a time, but eventually, they returned to reality.

At this moment, in a technology-themed battlefield in the Virtual World, Xu Mo, wearing virtual Armor, was besieged, with several people coming at him.

Around Xu Mo’s body, many Flying Swords hovered, clanging and releasing powerful Energy Light.

“This guy is too arrogant, killing all the way here, kill him.” A Transcendent in heavy Armor glared at Xu Mo, the eye part of his helmet shooting blue light, locking onto Xu Mo.

“This bastard not only kills but dares to flirt with my wife, outrageous.” A Transcendent in black Armor was even more furious, the black War Saber in his hand shining with a dim light. Beside him, a woman in red Armor glared at Xu Mo, anger in her eyes under the mask. This scumbag dared to ask if she was available for a spiritual exchange when they first met.

In the Virtual World, spiritual exchange had a special meaning.

“This…” Xu Mo felt a bit wronged; he only wanted to test his Spiritual Attack, how could there be such a misunderstanding?

“Attack.” Several people said, and as the words fell, the black figure darted forward like Lightning, accompanied by the red-armored figure beside him. The swords and knives swung simultaneously, dazzling light covering Xu Mo’s body.

Xu Mo’s figure suddenly retreated, and as his intention moved, the Flying Swords surrounding his body shot out, heading towards the two people.

“Boom.” Another loud noise erupted as the heavy-armored figure charged, swinging a Heavy Hammer, which came crashing down midair at an astonishing speed. The people who hadn’t gotten a recommendation to the Mystic God Temple and were still trialing here weren’t top-notch Transcendents, but they were definitely not weak.

“Buzz…” A group of Flying Swords stabbed out once more, spinning at high speed, targeting the sky, terrifying in speed.

At the same time, Xu Mo’s body moved. As the Flying Swords attacked the couple, Xu Mo’s figure flickered and vanished, his blade like Lightning, dazzling with thunder, the sound of slicing air echoed, cutting open the two people’s Armor, and slashing at their necks.

“Sorry.” Xu Mo said, as the two figures vanished, killed.

After Xu Mo killed the two, more Flying Swords headed skyward, the heavy-armored person was caught off-guard and couldn’t dodge them, being continuously struck by Flying Swords, piercing through the Armor, eventually killed.

Behind him was another person who hadn’t taken action. He looked at the scene in disbelief. Was his Combat Power this strong?

Then, from afar, many Transcendents came, and the person shouted, “This guy flirted with someone else’s wife and killed two others, let’s finish him off together.”

“I…” Xu Mo almost spit blood, even in the Virtual World, do they have to ruin his reputation like this, how can he show his face afterward?

“Put him on the blacklist.” Someone said angrily.

“Alright.” Many people supported.

“Too much.” Xu Mo looked at those people, and his figure flickered, not only did he not escape, but he charged directly at them, the blade flashed, and the person slandering Xu Mo’s reputation was instantly killed.

Then Xu Mo charged at the main group.

Some time later, Xu Mo exited the Virtual World, removing the device from his head, with a strange expression.

He was blacklisted in this Virtual World, his reputation utterly ruined.

From now on, every time he enters, he’ll probably be hunted down.

However, this could serve as a trial.

He stepped out of the room and came outside when the Communicator in his hand vibrated. Xu Mo opened it, and it was Nois Uranos.

“Mr. Nois.” Xu Mo said very friendly.

“Mr. Xu Mo.” Nois Uranos replied, “The Mystic God Temple selection has gone through several rounds of screening, eliminating most people. Now, we’ve entered the final selection stage for a thousand participants. The upcoming final selection will be more cautious, carried out through a point system, ultimately selecting the top three hundred performers.”

“Currently, representing the Tis Palace, Saye is ranked tenth on the leaderboard.”

“Tenth.” Xu Mo knew Saye was someone the Tis Palace prioritized for recruitment, and was snatched from Uranos, so his combat power was undoubtedly formidable. Being ranked within the top ten on the leaderboard of the Mystic God Temple selection clearly indicated Saye’s outstanding strength.

No wonder the Tis Palace at that time almost blindly obeyed Saye; with just one word from him, Tis Palace didn’t even hesitate to strip others of their spot to give it to Saye.

When Gao Hong made a fuss, Elder Hollen didn’t give Gao Hong any chance to argue, all because of a single sentence from Saye.

“What about Miss Erin?” Xu Mo asked. Erin Uranos was also participating in this year’s Mystic God Temple selection. As a member of the Uranos Family, Erin Uranos’s combat power was quite strong.

Xu Mo had previously sparred with Erin, so he wanted to see Erin’s current ranking on the leaderboard.

“Ninety-fifth place; moreover, Tis Palace has ten other transcendents ranked within the top three hundred on the leaderboard,” Nois responded. “Of course, this is just the current ranking on the leaderboard, and the final rankings will still change significantly. It will take some time to determine the final results. Mr. Xu Mo, please focus on your training. If there are any developments, I will contact you immediately.”

“Alright, thank you, Mr. Nois.” Xu Mo replied and then hung up the communicator.

Xu Mo lay back in his chair, feeling some pressure.

Saye was currently in the top ten on the leaderboard.

Positions on the leaderboard represent strength. Once you enter the Mystic God Temple, the level of attention you receive varies. Anyone who can make it to the top ten on the leaderboard will surely become a key focus of the Mystic God Temple.

At this moment, the communicator vibrated again. Xu Mo glanced at it and then connected the call.

“Xu Mo.” An angry voice came from the other end of the communicator.

“What happened, Uncle Hong?” Xu Mo asked.

“Saye has entered the top ten on the leaderboard, currently ranked tenth,” Gao Hong said.

“I already knew about it; someone from the Uranos Family informed me,” Xu Mo responded.

“Now, the entire Chloe Star is paying attention to the Mystic God Temple selection. The leaderboard is a focal point for everyone. With Saye ranking tenth, Tis Palace has already begun launching promotions, tracking Saye’s leaderboard ranking in real-time to expand their influence and portray a positive image,” Gao Hong said.

“What’s more annoying is that Roso, that bastard, actually called to mock me. It was that rogue who dragged you into our past grudges, and now he’s enjoying his moment in the spotlight,” Gao Hong continued.

Xu Mo was speechless; it seemed the feud between Gao Hong and Roso was deep enough that even after Gao Hong left Tis Palace, Roso still wouldn’t let it go and seized any opportunity to flaunt his success.

Given Gao Hong’s fiery temper, one could imagine how he felt.

What Gao Hong didn’t mention was that, during Roso’s taunts, he also inquired about the talented individuals Gao Hong had selected, using it as a way to mock him further.

Gao Hong really couldn’t swallow this insult, and after repeated provocations, he had blocked Roso.

“Xu Mo, I’m telling you this not to pressure you,” Gao Hong said.

“I understand,” Xu Mo replied.

“Train hard. Even if you don’t challenge Saye, make sure to take on a few cultivators from the Tis Palace entering the Mystic God Temple,” Gao Hong urged. With Saye making it to the top ten, his combat power must be formidable and perhaps difficult to deal with.

However, stepping over some other people from Tis Palace could still inflict some negative impact on them.

“Alright.” Xu Mo didn’t say much, and both hung up the communicator afterward.

“Is it because of Saye’s position on the leaderboard?” Ye Qingdie approached Xu Mo and asked.

“You already know?” Xu Mo looked at Ye Qingdie and said.

“The entire Chloe Star is focused on it; the news is overwhelming, and Tis Palace is heavily promoting it,” Ye Qingdie, who had been keeping an eye on the news about Tis Palace, explained, feeling unable to swallow her resentment either.

“Yes.” Xu Mo didn’t say much else, choosing to continue with his training.

In the coming days, Xu Mo focused on spiritual power cultivation in the real world and honed his practical combat skills in the virtual world.

In the virtual world, he was blacklisted for allegedly seducing someone’s wife, which ruined his reputation. Every time he entered the virtual world, he was hunted by various parties, getting killed multiple times. Yet, in such an environment, his practical combat abilities were honed, becoming increasingly fierce and strong.

Many people cursed, saying this shameless pervert had formidable strength.

In the virtual world, Xu Mo’s reputation was completely ruined beyond redemption, but it didn’t matter since it wasn’t the real world.

Meanwhile, the Mystic God Temple selection reached a fever pitch, as the deadline approached and everyone involved in the selection went crazy. After all, as the time drew near, it was the best opportunity for those ranked below three hundred on the leaderboard to make a final push. Failing to fight their way up meant they would be completely shut out of the Mystic God Temple, delaying until next year.

Thus, in the final stage, the Mystic God Temple selection was incredibly fierce, with participating transcendents revealing all their trump cards in the fight to rise, causing drastic fluctuations in the leaderboard, changing every moment.

The people of Chloe Star were going crazy over it, closely following this selection.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of countless transcendents on Chloe Star, the Mystic God Temple selection came to an end.

Outside the Mystic God Temple, the final selection results would be announced, along with the final leaderboard rankings.
