One hundred kiloters outside Da Guang City.
The night was deep, without a single star in sight.
Wang Xiao and the others passed through an official checkpoint and were now hovering over a gigantic island in a flying craft.
The island was situated in the middle of the ocean.
Looking down, it didn’t look like an island at all, but more like a lost continent adrift at sea!
It was covered in mountain ranges, jungles, and waterfalls. One could even see stone houses stretching on endlessly.
It covered an area of over ten thousand square kiloters.
On closer inspection, its shape resembled a giant skeleton.
Hence its na: Skull Island!
Originally, there was no such island near Da Guang City.
However, in the early days of the Great Cosmic Era, a teor fell from the heavens, and the Earth’s Crust expanded.
Its surface area increased by more than tenfold.
At the sa ti, many strange and bizarre regions appeared on Earth.
Skull Island was one of them.
So scientists believed the teor had triggered a special magnetic field, pulling matter from a parallel universe into this one!
Though this theory lacked much evidence, it was considered a mainstream one.
Ying Xu, sitting in the co-pilot’s seat, looked at the others and said:
"The aircraft can only hover here. If we go any lower, we’ll crash due to magnetic interference from Skull Island. We need to jump from here and land in Area A."
Skull Island has special magnetic fields and particle interference.
Heavy weapons and so electronic devices are unusable.
Fortunately, Ying Xu had already distributed special quantum communication devices to everyone.
Even on the island, they could use these devices to stay in contact.
Wang Xiao glanced down.
The aircraft was hovering about a thousand ters above Skull Island.
It wasn’t that high.
Even without a parachute, he could land unscathed at his current level of cultivation.
"Then let’s go. It’s only a thousand ters—piece of cake," Huang Mao said, eager for action.
From their earlier conversation, Wang Xiao had learned that Huang Mao’s na was Zhang Chang, and his group ID was [Lawless Madman Zhang San].
Ying Xu said, "Alright, everyone stick close to ."
Without another word, he opened the hatch and leaped out, hurtling toward Skull Island below.
Seeing this, the others followed suit, jumping out one by one.
As Tier Three Life forms, their physical conditioning was already extraordinary.
None of them used external aids like parachutes, simply jumping straight down.
Wang Xiao felt the wind roar past him as Skull Island grew larger and larger in his vision.
Then, the mountain ranges, jungles, and rivers ca into sharper focus.
As they neared the ground, everyone used their own techniques to slow their descent.
Ice ford beneath Liu Dongdong’s feet, slowing her descent.
Light flared from Ying Xu’s feet as his body suddenly swelled in size.
Gusts of wind swirled around Qin ngyun, carrying her gently to the ground.
Wang Xiao circulated his True Qi. His body glowed, and he seed to rge with Heaven and Earth as he descended slowly.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!
All twelve of them landed on a mountaintop.
Ying Xu wasted no words. He took a detector out of his Subspace Watch, glanced at it, and said:
"Follow . These Tier Three Titans are pack animals. I’ll scatter them. Your job is to kill a Tier Three Titan as quickly as possible, take its heart, and find the Titanium Ore."
SWISH!
His speed was incredible as he sprinted off in one direction.
The others naturally followed close behind, their pace just as swift.
Before long, the group arrived at a mountain hollow.
Here, they found a primitive village built of stone and wood.
Outside the village stood four or five gorillas, each several ters tall, apparently acting as guards.
Their eyes glowed red, and their bodies radiated a savage aura.
Even their fur seed to faintly give off a red glow.
"There should be a Tier Four Titan leader here. I’ll draw it out and keep it busy. You all move in and take out the other Tier Three Titans."
The mont he finished speaking, Ying Xu stomped his foot on the ground.
BOOM!
Like a tiger bursting from its cage, the ground shook with the sound of muffled thunder.
The next mont, Ying Xu charged toward the village ahead. He had no strategy—it was a pure frontal assault!
The few Titan Giant Apes guarding the entrance didn’t even have ti to react. They let out a piteous cry as their bodies were sent flying, smashing the gate to pieces!
RUMBLE!
Imdiately after, roars echoed from within the village.
House after house collapsed, sending dust and smoke billowing into the sky.
"Holy hell, that was aweso! Just what you’d expect from the Ying Family’s Direct Lineage," Huang Mao clicked his tongue.
Another short-haired youth looked on with adoration. "He’s a top dog on the Prodigy Ranking, just as I expected. I wish I could be that badass soday."
The Prodigy Ranking was a global list published by the Supre Federation, using data from the Celestial Dao.
It recorded the one hundred most powerful Evolvers under the age of fifty.
Ying Xu was ranked thirtieth on the Prodigy Ranking, which was impressively high.
Of course, the ranking was a comprehensive one, taking into account various factors such as an Evolver’s Life Tier, their combat records, and their cultivated Life Evolution Path.
It didn’t necessarily represent a person’s true combat prowess.
However, without exception, everyone on the Prodigy Ranking was a peerless genius!
The Supre Federation published such rankings to stir a competitive spirit among the world’s youth!
’I wonder where I’d rank if I showed my true strength.’
Wang Xiao silently estimated his own strength.
He knew that the top ten were, without exception, all Tier Five Life forms.
So might have even broken through to the Ninth Layer Spiritual Domain for all he knew.
Wang Xiao himself had only just broken through to the First Layer Spiritual Domain.
If it ca to a real fight, it was uncertain if he could even make it into the top ten.
’However, I just lack the resources right now. With enough, I could break through to the Seventh Layer Spiritual Domain at an incredible speed.’
Wang Xiao wasn’t being needlessly humble.
As the group waited,
"ROAR!"
A deafening roar suddenly echoed from within the village.
Imdiately after, the ground began to shake violently, as if in an earthquake.
Everyone felt a colossal shadow fall over them.
Within the village, a Titan Giant Ape, dozens of ters tall, rose to its feet, pounding its chest!
Its fur was blood-red, and it radiated an air of primitive savagery from the Wilderness.
In front of it, Ying Xu’s body had also swelled, growing to several ters in height.
He looked like a giant, surrounded by three golden halos that resembled a nebula.
This was the ability of the Titan Evolution Path: Gigantification!
BOOM!
Even in his enlarged state, Ying Xu was dwarfed by the Titan Giant Ape.
However, he was completely unafraid. Like a War God, his golden halos flared as he charged the Titan Giant Ape.
The two imdiately clashed in a brutal, physical brawl!
The surrounding peaks shattered from the force of their blows.
The man and the ape fought an earth-shattering battle, evenly matched.
"Holy crap, it’s really a Tier Four Titan! Thank god Brother Ying is here to hold it off, otherwise we’d have to turn tail and run," the short-haired youth said.
Qin ngyun spoke up, "While Ying Xu has the Tier Four Titan pinned down, we need to get in there and hunt the Tier Three Titans as fast as we can!"
Hearing this, the group didn’t hesitate for a second, charging straight into the Titan Tribe!
SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH!
The mont they entered the village, huge rocks ca flying toward them like cannonballs.
They were moving incredibly fast, like mortar shells.
A Sword Shadow flashed around Wang Xiao, instantly pulverizing the incoming rocks.
The others didn’t take the hit head-on, instead using their own techniques to quickly evade.
Then, spotting the Tier Three Titans that were throwing the rocks, the group charged forward to engage them.
Wang Xiao rushed toward a few Titans, and with a flash of Sword Aura, their heads were separated from their bodies. They collapsed to the ground without even a chance to struggle.
Huang Mao and the others watched on, their faces filled with astonishnt.
"Whoa, he’s a total pro!"
"So badass! He can one-shot Tier Three Titans!"
"Dude, add as a friend later."
They hadn’t expected the man who had been so quiet during the gathering to be this ruthless.
With strength like that, he could probably get on the Prodigy Ranking, right?!
Wang Xiao wasted no words. He reached out and tore the Tier Three Titan’s heart from its chest.
The heart was several tis larger than a normal human’s, about the size of a basketball.
Even now, it was still faintly beating.
The others weren’t weak either. After a brief struggle with the group of Tier Three Titans, they each quickly dispatched one and took its heart.
"Let’s pull back. We’ll split up to look for the Titanium Ore."
There were still about twenty more Tier Three Titans nearby, but the group had no intention of continuing the fight.
After all, their goal was to find the Titanium Ore.
They also needed to search for other resources on the island, so there was no need to waste too much ti here.
Wang Xiao had no objections. With a flash, he was about to depart.
However, just then.
A blood-curdling scream rang out from nearby.
One of their teammates suddenly had a gaping hole torn through his chest. He collapsed, staining the ground red.
As the group reeled in shock and confusion,
Ying Xu’s furious roar suddenly reached them.
"Dammit, it’s the rebels! They’ve snuck in!"
