Dividing and Greatly Improving

Chapter 53 Dividing and Greatly Improving

When Gojo Satoru returned to the house, he saw Mo Fan holding a baby.

Seriously? I was only gone for a dozen minutes? Mo Fan already has a baby?!

"What's going on?" Gojo Satoru looked at the scene with surprise.

"I don't know what kind of incredible luck Mo Fan had, but my aunt actually entrusted Xiao Yanji to his care!" Zhao Manyan said with a look of envy.

"Oh, so it's Little Flame Princess." Gojo Satoru suddenly realized, then leaned close to Mo Fan with a gloating expression and said, "This little guy seems to eat spirit seed fragments, can you afford to raise her?"

Mo Fan's face darkened considerably.

"Luckily, we had some stockpiled goods in the North Corner of Zhuoyuan beforehand."

"I doubt that's enough. I heard that Yan Ji also eats spirit seeds, but spirit seed fragments aren't very effective."

"Yes, yes, it is said that the higher the level of the fire seed that Yan Ji condenses after eating spirit seeds, the more powerful she becomes."

"Mo Fan, you poor wretch probably can't afford to raise this little guy. Why don't you give him to me to raise? My Zhao family is rich and powerful..."

Mo Fan sent Zhao Manyan a screen full of "Get lost" messages.

"Sigh, I have to go back to the military region, otherwise I'll face the tragedy of being discharged," Zhang Xiaohou said.

"Oh right, I haven't shared the resources I collected with you guys yet," Gojo said.

"No thanks, you collected all of those by yourself, how could we possibly accept them?" Zhao Manyan said with a wry smile.

"Since we're going together, we should each get a share." With that, Gojo Satoru took out six vessels from his storage magic artifact.

"Holy crap, you've got such a huge haul!?" Mo Fan exclaimed as he saw Gojo Satoru casually pull out six of them.

"I've collected things from about half of the northern corner of Zhuoyuan," Gojo Satoru said, gesturing.

Before going to the bottom of the valley, we had indeed collected resources from half of the area, including a lot of magic stones, spirit seed fragments, and even spirit seeds.

"Wow, you're really something!" Zhao Manyan fell silent after hearing that Gojo Satoru had taken over half of the North Corner of Scorched Plains.

This guy is really rich and powerful.

"Just so-so," Gojo Satoru said modestly.

…………

All seven members of the group had a fruitful trip to Dunhuang.

Gojo Satoru not only obtained the Golden Crow Wings and the baptism of essence blood, but also had resources of nearly 15 billion.

Most of the dozen or so spirit seeds that Zhuoyuan obtained were of average spirit-level quality. Excluding the six that he gave to Mo Fan and the others, the remaining ones amounted to only 2.8 million.

The total value of the most numerous spirit seed fragments reached an astonishing 1.2 million, of which the fire-attribute spirit seed fragments were all exchanged with Mo Fan at a friendly price.

The largest share was the crimson dragon that Gojo Satoru slew in the Rift Valley. The dragon's corpse and its essence were sold at auction for 7.8 million!

In fact, all the things on the dragon corpse added up to a maximum of 100 million, but the essence was extremely valuable.

Finally, there's the ghost woman's bounty and the items she took from her spatial ring, totaling around 2.5 million.

This time, Gojo Satoru earned 14.3 billion yen, which, combined with the original 4000 million yen, brings his total to nearly 15 billion yen!

Mo Fan has acquired a contracted beast, Little Flame Princess.

Zhao Manyan and Chen Ying have found a relative.

Zhang Xiaohou gained some resources, and Lingling and Ye Xinxia also grew.

In short, we all made a profit.

……

For the next period of time, Wu Tiao Wu focused on absorbing resources and improving his strength. While most of the inner court students were still competing for the rankings, he had already been banned from the rankings.

Being at the advanced level right from the start of his studies means that his inner court career is destined to be smooth sailing.

Nothing happened for the next few months.

At the entrance to the three-step tower of Mingzhu Academy, Gojo Satoru had lost count of how many times he had walked out of here.

After they came out, the students guarding the gate remained calm; they had grown indifferent to the envy after so many times.

This seemingly unremarkable individual, Gojo Satoru, was granted special permission by Dean Xiao to come and go as he pleased.

"Brother Wu, how was your harvest this time?" a bespectacled man asked with a congratulatory smile.

He had seen this white-haired young man countless times this year and they were already quite familiar with each other.

"It's just so-so. I've used up all my resources, and I still haven't made a breakthrough," Gojo Satoru said, frustrated.

That's right, the resources acquired for nearly 15 billion were used up so easily.

The higher-level ones are already this expensive, it feels like even a small upgrade to the super-level ones would easily cost billions.

"I believe you'll succeed sooner or later." The bespectacled man extended his hand to bump fists with Gojo Satoru.

"Thanks for your kind words." Gojo Satoru extended his fist and bumped it with his. "I suppose it won't be long before you two are able to enter the Three-Step Tower once?"

"Sigh, that's what they say, but how much can our talents actually improve inside?"

Upon hearing this complaint, Gojo Satoru simply smiled without replying, said hello, and left.

The nomination battle has begun, and the true geniuses are gradually emerging.

According to Dean Xiao, Pearl River Delta University has a total of ten nomination rights.

The selection method of Mingzhu Academy is that the top 20 students from all departments participate in the selection, and finally ten people are selected to go to the capital to participate in the subsequent elimination round.

Only after two rounds of selection can the specific spots for participating in the World University Competition be determined...

However, this competition has nothing to do with Gojo Satoru. He has already secured two votes and the university's recommendation, which basically guarantees him a spot.

Originally, three votes were not a sure thing, but Dean Xiao and Zhu Meng briefly described Gojo Satoru's amazing strength to the higher-ups, so they gave him a pre-selected spot.

As the designated candidate, Gojo Satoru only needs to wait for the selection process to be completed.

Wu Tiao Wu learned from Mo Fan that Zhao Manyan, the playboy, had changed his usual behavior and was actually undergoing secret training that he rarely saw anyone.

It's clear that Zhao Manyan is unlikely to use the university's quota, but even so, he still needs to put in several times the effort of an ordinary person.

Regardless of whether one has powerful backing or not, there are countless competitors. Without the ability to intimidate all rivals, it is impossible to break through the encirclement.

It can be said that anyone with the intention of securing a spot in the World University Competition has essentially become a cultivation fanatic.

During Mo Fan's challenge week, he frantically climbed the rankings, while on weekdays he took on commissions, not only for the spot, but also for the resources needed to raise his child.

Seeing this, Gojo Satoru could hardly believe that this was the same picky Mo Fan he always was.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Mo Fan has to raise a child and manage four departments at the same time. It's a huge burden.

Speaking of which, Gojo Satoru's three systems also reached their limits during this period of dedicated training.

First, the space-type galaxy reaches the perfect third-level form, and second, the healing-type galaxy also reaches the perfect third-level form. Both of these systems can enter the super-level as long as they have star sea celestial veins!

Furthermore, the Chaos Galaxy only crossed the first and second levels, reaching the third level.

Finally, with the accumulation of special resources, the spiritual realm enters the middle stage of the sixth realm, which can also be called the upper level of the middle realm!

Although this six-month period of dedicated training consumed a lot of resources, the gains were also considerable.

He went from being able to slaughter those below the monarch level to becoming a top-tier expert who could directly confront a monarch!
