Chapter 58: The Struggle for Supremacy (Part 1)

  After deciding to promote to the intermediate department, Long Song began to focus on his cultivation.

  Long Song was already at the peak of Qi Infancy 9th level, so Long Song decided to cultivate seriously for a day and directly break through to the Qi Form stage.

  In Longge's courtyard, Longge was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his mind harmonizing with heaven and earth, greedily absorbing the elemental spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

  As the dragon's breath, the external spiritual energy continuously flows into Longge's body, transforming the skin through the skin, making the skin more resilient and powerful, transforming the tendons and bones through the tendons and bones, making the tendons and bones more resilient and resistant to impact, finally gathering in the dantian.

  The white energy in the dantian absorbs and fuses all elements into white, this white contains enormous energy.

  The center of the white energy was a tiny human figure, this little person was crazily devouring the surrounding white energy and gradually taking shape, visible hands and feet, visible eyebrows and eyes... astonishingly it looked exactly like Long Ge!

  "Waaaah!!!!" After a whole day of practicing Dragon Song, the heaven and earth energy surged in crazily once again! The Qi Infant Small Person absorbed enough white energy to take shape - Qi Infant Taking Shape: Qi Form!

  Long Song finally reached the level of Qi Xing, but Long Song's cultivation did not stop. Taking this opportunity, Long Song continued to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, while the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was constantly transformed into white energy, and the white energy made the shape of Qi Xing even more perfect!

  "Hah!" After cultivating for a day and night, Long Song finally let out a happy sigh.

  Then, upon introspection, Long Song discovered that he had reached the first level of Qi Form, his energy having increased by a full two times. His skin's toughness had reached mid-grade silver equipment level, while his tendons and bones' toughness had reached high-grade silver equipment level!

  If Longge were to challenge Xiong Wang one-on-one at his current level of strength, he would definitely win!

  Long Song smiled contentedly and tried to release his spiritual power, only to find that he could actually detect all the movements within a radius of 500 meters.

  And within 500 meters, a teacher discovered Long Ge's exploration and immediately turned around to explore, discovering that Long Ge had already reached the first level of Qi Xing. He smiled and said: "This Long Ge is really formidable, in just one year, he has risen to the first level of Qi Xing, I estimate he will soon rise to the intermediate department! In the intermediate department, there will be space for him to challenge."

  Long Song retracted his spiritual power and suddenly found that the new golden badge on his belt had lit up. He picked it up to take a look, only to find that it was inscribed with: "You have reached the Air Form level, please return the badge to Xin Bang, your teacher will give you a reward for your diligent cultivation!"

  "Hehe! What's the reward?" Long Ge thought, then strolled towards the new ranking list. Long Di and Jin Zhi, Mei Gui had all gone to class, so Long Ge went alone.

  When they arrived at the new list, Jing Ji teacher who was in charge of the new list affairs was already waiting there.

  "Dragon Song! You've just challenged the new chart for three months and have already advanced to the Gas Form, looks like your top-grade golden equipment is gone!" said Jingji teacher.

  "There's nothing to it, when I was at the eighth level of Qi Infusion, I could already sit on the first throne of the new rankings. With my current strength, the new rankings are no longer worth my nostalgia. I'm going to the intermediate department, to take on more challenges!" Long Ge said, handing the badge over to Jing Ji teacher.

  "Well said, a good man should take on more challenges. When I was young, I was just like you too, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to reach the rank of Air King!" Jingji teacher took over the badge and nodded with a smile at Longge, "Although you can't get a top-grade golden equipment weapon, as compensation, I can give you a mid-grade golden equipment weapon. What kind of weapon do you want?"

  Long Song thought for a moment, he had already refined a set of armor and had a weapon, it seemed like there was nothing else needed. However, upon further consideration, his most powerful weapon was the spear, but not all masters always used their most skilled weapon, otherwise their moves and routines would be seen through by their potential opponents. Therefore, he should have a second weapon to confuse his opponents.

  "I want a heavy sword with no blade!" Long Ge said with a smile to Jing Ji teacher.

  "No edge heavy sword, heavy sword no edge? Wait a minute, let me look for it!" Jingji teacher exerted his spiritual power to search in his 1,000 cubic meter large space ring and finally found a heavy sword that was exactly a mid-grade golden instrument. He took it out and handed it over to Longge, "There's only this one!"

  "It's so heavy! It's so cold!" Long Ge took over the heavy sword and found that it weighed 3,000 catties, was 1.5 meters long, and was pitch black with a metallic luster in the darkness. Moreover, its entire body was icy cold. "This should be made of ten-thousand-year-old ice iron!"

  "Yes." Jingji teacher nodded in approval, "This thousand-year-old cold iron is enough to refine a high-quality gold weapon or even a diamond-level weapon. It's just that my brother's refining level was too low back then and could only refine mid-quality gold weapons. If your refining level improves later, take it back to the furnace and I estimate you can refine diamond-level weapons!"

  Long Song thought that this time he had made a big profit, and after his strength increased, refining a drill-level weapon would be no problem at all!

  "Thank you, Teacher Jingji!" Long Ge excitedly bowed his head.

  "No need for that, this is what you should get. You must practice your marksmanship well, and in the future if our college needs your help, you must also help us!" said Teacher Jingji.

  "Alright, teacher, if there's nothing else, I'd like to report to the intermediate department now!" Long Ge said.

  "Alright, you can go now. If there's anything difficult, come back and ask me!" said Teacher Jingji.

  "Hmm!" After finishing speaking, Long Ge put the heavy sword into the ring and then walked towards the registration office of the intermediate department. Having been in the college for a year, the map of the college had long been studied by Long Ge.

  Ten minutes later, Long Ge arrived at the reporting location of the intermediate department.

  "Teacher, I've reported for duty in the intermediate department!" Long Ge said to the teacher in charge of reception.

  "Hand over your Junior Division badge!" the Qi Wang-level teacher said to Long Song.

  "Here!" Long Ge handed the school emblem of the junior department to the teacher.

  "Oh!? Long Ge, the first place on the new list, equipment master, pill master, tactics master, technique master Long Ge, you are a celebrity in our college!" The teacher smiled warmly at Long Ge.

  "Hehe, just a stroke of luck." Long Ge rubbed his head and smiled.

  "Good luck, I don't think so!" The teacher said while handing Longge a middle school badge with the words "Longge, Middle School" written on it. "This is your dormitory address in the middle school department. Of course, if you want to live in the primary school department's dormitory, we won't object, but it's still recommended that you go to the middle school department's dormitory because there are many high-level Qi Xing practitioners there who can quickly improve through mutual sharpening."

  "Hmm, I'll go for a walk!" Long Ge said, and then headed towards the dormitory of the intermediate department.

  "Haha! Look at that little guy dealing with those old men!" The teacher smiled meaningfully as he gazed at Long Ge's back.

  Long Song walked into the dormitory area of the intermediate department, found his own dormitory and went in.

  "Hello! Are you new here?" As soon as he entered the dormitory, a senior student in his teens came over to ask Long Ge.

  "Yes! I just got promoted from the junior department and came here to take a look." Long Ge said.

  "Which gang did you join?" The senior asked Long Ge.

  "What gang?" Long Song asked back in puzzlement.

  "You don't even know about the factions? Oh, newcomers are always like that!" The senior explained patiently, "Anyone who enters the intermediate department must join a faction, so I asked if you've joined one?"

  "Must join?" Long Ge asked.

  "Yes, only by joining a gang can you avoid being bullied. If you're alone, you'll be attacked and discriminated against. Of course, joining a gang means there will be gang wars, so every gang needs to recruit new members." The senior introduced himself, "Like me, my name is Long Jia, I established a gang called 'Tortoise Shell Gang', we have 50 members, although we're not that strong in the middle school department, but we can still protect you from being bullied. How about it? Are you interested in joining our gang?"

  "No! I want to build my own gang!" Long Ge said firmly.

  "Haha! You, a first-rate gasbag, want to establish your own gang? If you lose in a gang war with others, you'll be swallowed up instantly. Establishing a gang requires 1 million gold coins, I don't want to see such a small brother go bankrupt, especially since we're roommates!" Long Jia said with a smile, "Want to reconsider and join our gang?"

  "No! I've made up my mind, I'll build my own gang!" Long Ge said resolutely.

  "Alright, you can go pay the fee to the Guild Master and establish your guild. The Guild Master is near the Mid-Rank Board (a board that ranks the top 50 intermediate players, similar to the Newbie Board)."

  Long Jia changed the subject, "If your guild gets destroyed, I'll still welcome you to join our 'Tortoise Shell Guild'".

  "Thank you!" Long Song said and walked towards the middle of the stage.

  After arriving at the Zhongbang, he saw the teacher in charge of the Zhongbang. This teacher was also the person in charge of the Bangpai. Because the challenge of the Zhongbang had already begun at dawn every day and ended by noon, when Longge arrived here in the afternoon, this Qi Wang-level teacher was relatively free.

  "Excuse me, young friend, which gang do you want to join?" The teacher was very kind, and it seemed that all the teachers Long Ge had met so far were kind. This kind teacher handed Long Ge a list with many gang names from the intermediate department.

  Long Ge looked up and saw only these words written above:

  First gang, Dragon Head Gang, leader: Long Da, ranked first on the middle list! There are 105 members in the gang, and you can only apply to join if you have reached the sixth level of Qi Xing.

  Second List, Dragon Horn Gang, Leader: Long Zhong Er, Second Place in the Middle List! The gang has 100 members, and only those who have reached the fifth level of Qi Xing can apply to join.

  ……

  After watching the Dragon Song, I found that there are about 40,000 students in the entire intermediate department, with more than 500 gangs. It's really a mixture of dragons and snakes! However, Longge has made up his mind to stand firm in this fiercely competitive and mixed place, not only to stand firm but also to create his own world!

  So, Long Ge said to the teacher in charge of the gang: "Teacher, I want to build a gang!"

  "Do you want to build a gang? You're just a first-rate gas form, if others declare war on your gang, it will be destroyed." The teacher said solemnly to Long Ge, "Building a gang requires 1 million gold coins, losing a gang war results in a loss of 500,000 gold coins, and the remaining 500,000 gold coins are obtained by the winning side. Are you sure you want to build a gang?"

  "Yes." Long Ge's eyes were extremely determined, then he handed his card to the teacher in charge of the gang.

  Did Long Ge succeed in building his gang?

  Will it be challenged by other gangs!
