Ten seconds of waiting felt particularly long.
This building was fortified by the Empress. Because of the high level of authority, Chu Ling couldn’t forcibly link from the outside to obtain key information about this building, but if infiltrated internally, the [Source Code] could quietly "invade".
"Successfully infiltrated, scanning in progress..."
Ten seconds later, good news arrived. Chu Ling had already started manipulating the code, perating the building’s system: "Current progress at 1%, full scan estimated to take 3 hours and 18 minutes."
"No rush, take your ti."
Gu Shen felt relieved, and the sense of "unknown danger" he faced reduced significantly.
Once the scanning was complete, he could at least obtain a simplified list of exempted participants.
By then, he could validate his own thoughts.
While Chu Ling scanned the building, Gu Shen wasn’t idle either. He began operating the Breathing thod for spiritual cultivation.
Aluer was right.
Gu Shen was indeed a very "hardworking" person.
Because he understood the "Spring Breathing" early and mastered the "Pure Land," Gu Shen’s spiritual cultivation speed skyrocketed like a rocket, incredibly fast, and he was imrsed in the joy that ca from "specialization."
Whenever he had ti, he honed his spirit!
After leaving the lting Furnace Divine Domain, the Battle Golden Hoop reappeared, tightly binding the Chi Huo at his brow. To complete the third "Breakthrough," he needed to break through this Golden Hoop... It was a truly arduous and exhausting task, requiring extensive hamring without missing a beat.
Gu Shen repeatedly manipulated the Chi Huo to hit the Golden Hoop.
Every ti he failed!
His Spirit Sea would face trendous tremors!
In an instant, his mind was a blank silver.
Failure in an attempt... naturally ca at a price, a montary lapse followed by a strong sense of "frustration," as if the Chi Huo was slowly scraped by a dull knife; it wasn’t painful but an odd spiritual tornt.
It made one’s scalp tighten and teeth clench.
However, Gu Shen’s expression remained calm, as if nothing had happened, everything peaceful.
That’s because he had long been accustod to this kind of "tornt."
Inside the Golden Hoop, Chi Huo continuously burst out.
Gu Shen tirelessly charged again and again, failed again and again... His spiritual power was already strong enough to be called monstrous, but he did not want to give up on the opportunity for the third "Super Realm," even if it required a thousand, ten thousand, or even a million attempts.
He would persevere to the end.
Half an hour later.
"Scan complete, so information cannot be obtained..."
Gu Shen stopped charging the Battle Golden Hoop.
In his Spirit Sea, the illusory image of a train compartnt called 001 appeared.
The girl sitting in the compartnt, traced with her fingertips, conjured a list: "According to the scan information, besides you, there are seven people living in this building. This should be the known exempt participants Aluer ntioned."
Gu Shen imdiately saw the person he was looking for on the list.
ng Xiao!
"As expected..."
The guidance of the pendant was correct!
"Only seven?" Gu Shen frowned slightly: "I thought all the team leaders of the restart mission had been determined..."
Now it seed otherwise.
The North Continent only selected absolute team leader-level figures. It seed the ongoing eting in Central City was to select the remaining suitable leaders.
So these seven must be undeniably the top genius figures.
Being exempted and standing out from the entire Northern Continent Frontier is indeed extrely difficult.
Gu Shen browsed through the list with a faint smile.
All his prior guesses were correct.
He saw the familiar blond man, Zhong Yuan, the captain of the Investigation Corps Second Team, was also in the list of captains... However, this guy’s strength was top-notch throughout the North Continent. There was no reason he shouldn’t be an exempt participant.
Besides Zhong Yuan, there was another old acquaintance.
"Fisher... he’s also in this building."
Gu Shen vividly rembered the "Undead" wearing a breathing mask on the giant wall, not expecting to et again so soon. Thinking back, he didn’t see Fisher at the previous banquet.
Presumably, Fisher was invited earlier and then brought here to begin cultivation.
He didn’t know much about [Living Fish], only that Fisher was very strong; otherwise, he wouldn’t have obtained the exception to acquire Seventh-Order Source Armor.
Looking at it now, these seven exempt participants must all be extrely strong Transcendents.
And... exemption doesn’t seem to be based solely on strength.
There are many strong people in the North Continent.
In the deep water area on the eleventh level, there are at least more than ten Transcendents...
"This restart mission is still primarily managed by the Third Legion and the Investigation Corps, so most of those selected co from the two legions." Chu Ling slowly said: "The Transcendents on the list all have excellent talents. I guess Her Majesty the Empress granted them exemption qualifications to gather them in advance... Perhaps there’s sothing else going on."
"Sothing else?"
Gu Shen fell into thought, followed by a soft "Oh."
He saw an "interesting" figure on the list.
"A Third-Order Transcendent... also on the list of exempt participants?"
Gu Shen’s eyes lingered on the na "Mu Wanqiu."
This Transcendent’s strength was the sa as his!
Both were at the Seventh Level!
"Mu Wanqiu’s file is completely sealed, almost unviewable. She is hailed as the ’S-class’ of the North Continent, enjoying very high treatnt like you." Chu Ling seriously said: "It’s said her extraordinary ability is extrely powerful, and with imnse future potential... completely capable of fighting across her current realm."
