Inch of Radiance Vol 2 Chapter 5.1

Book 2 Chapter 5.1 – One Billion Dollars

Li Yang carefully looked at the never before seen ‘billion dollar’ mission. The target of this mission was the chairman of the Kangbei Group, and in addition, a photograph of this chairman was attached.

This was a blonde, blue eyed male whose body emanated n.o.bility. His figure was excellent, and had a triangular upper body. Although his muscles weren’t protruding out, Li Yang could tell from the proportions of the male that he was definitely an expert who cultivated his physical body. Moreover, his physical body power was even more powerful than that of Li Yang’s.

Right, from merely a single picture and barely being able to see the body’s proportions, Li Yang was able to come to this conclusion.

“My body has been under the gravity restriction this entire time, and have constantly resisted the force of 5000 jin. My physical body’s power has increased by quite a bit, and is now at roughly 20,000 jin. However, this Kangbei chairman seems to be more powerful than me, but is he really that powerful?” Li Yang began to doubt his previous judgment. After all, he had 20,000 crystals of energy. In the underground world, even those who used the B1 gene medicine were barely a few thousand crystals.

“Li Yang, wait. Let Overlord use his Divine Awareness to carefully search over New York and examine this individual’s true strength!” Overlord Xiang Yu’s words gave Li Yang a pleasant surprise.

Overlord Xiang Yu was still worried that the Immortal Realm’s people would discover him, and didn’t dare to use too much energy. Currently, the most energy he would use would be that of an Ascension stage expert’s. However, his Divine Awareness was still something that only an Immortal or Devil at the second stage could possess, and it was still a grade above the Spirit Awareness. Within the mortal world, there wasn’t a single person who could avoid Xiang Yu’s investigation.

When Li Yang heard this, he couldn’t help but smile as he waited for the results of Xiang Yu’s examination.

After roughly a minute, Xiang Yu finally spoke. “My goodness! Li Yang ah, there are quite a few experts within New York. There is surprisingly an individual at the Nascent Soul stage, and in addition, there is more than one! You are definitely not equal to these individuals, and they could exterminate you easily!”

Wasn’t this a waste of words? Xiantian Paragons were fifth stage experts, and Golden Dan stage experts were sixth stage experts. Nascent Soul cultivators were seventh-rank experts!

Seventh stage… individuals at that level had several million crystals of energy. They were stronger than Li Yang by more than a hundred times, and Li Yang obviously could not be compared to them. To exterminate ten of Li Yang would still be an extremely easy task.

However, Li Yang instead became urgent. “Overlord, have you found out the strength of the fellow with the bounty?” This was what Li Yang wanted to find out the most. Why would he care about how many experts New York had? After all, New York was the headquarter of the underground world, and for such a place to have many experts was a normal thing.

Overlord Xiang Yu immediately proudly said, “Of course I found out. If not for the careful examination of these top-notch experts, to solely look for this fellow would only take a single breath!”

Li Yang urgently wanted to know the answer, yet Xiang Yu unexpectedly paused for a moment and rested for a while, purposely suspending Li Yang in curiosity. Only after seeing that Li Yang was about to explode did he leisurely say, “This fellow is what you guys call a werewolf, in addition, he is at the highest stage of werewolves — Wolf Monarch, a seventh rank expert. According to Overlord’s careful observations, this fellow has already reached the peak of the seventh rank. His energy is roughly nine million crystals, and after searching all of New York, there aren’t many who are worthy of being his opponent!”

When Li Yang heard this, he immediately became stupefied!

Werewolves were separated into Low-rank Werewolf, Mid-rank Werewolf, High-rank Werewolf, Wolf General, and Wolf Monarch. These five ranks corresponded respectively from third rank experts to seventh rank experts.

At the same time, the Blood Clans were split into Baron rank, Viscount rank, Earl rank, Marquis rank, and Duke rank. These five great ranks were separated from third rank expert to seventh rank expert. Within the Blood Clans, the chief would be known as the ‘Prince’, and was the most powerful of the vampires. An expert at the rank of a Prince would be at the peak of the seventh rank, but they would still be below the eighth rank.

Typically, experts at the sixth or seventh rank were not people who could be provoked. Within the underground powers, for example the j.a.panese Dual Flowers, the highest would be an expert at the fifth rank, and the most formidable expert within the Russian Exterminators was also at the fifth rank. Even the number one bodyguard company, Black Devil, only had eight supreme bodyguards at the fifth rank.

Sixth rank experts within the underground world were more or less unrivaled, and as for seventh rank experts, they were experts that only existed in rumors.

Then what about eighth rank experts? Legends had it that the werewolves’ sovereign — Wolf Emperor, and the Blood Clan’s sovereign — the Blood Clan Regent, were both eight rank experts. However, the Wolf Emperor and the Blood Clan Regent hadn’t appeared in several thousand years, and they only existed in the memories of the werewolves and vampires.

Of course, there were definitely eighth rank experts who were still alive. Those would be Eastern China’s true way cultivators; their tribulation stage experts. The only thing was that these cultivators rarely meddled with worldly affairs.

“Heavens, seventh rank expert. This, this, they are simply unrivaled! The one billion dollars is rather alluring, but a seventh rank expert is way more terrifying! Most likely even if the entire Security Bureau moved out, they wouldn’t even be able to move a single hair on him. Seventh rank!” Li Yang’s eyes were wide open.

Immediately, Li Yang seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly asked, “Overlord, what did you just say? There are still several other seventh rank experts in New York?” Only now did Li Yang pay attention to the important information that Xiang Yu included just now.

Overlord Xiang Yu replied, “En, there are quite a few of them. Within them, there is your Vampire Duke, as well as a few from the Church. Their energy is what you know of as holy force. Right, the Church’s people are comparatively more difficult to defeat, and it’s because they are wearing a set of battle armor, a copper set of battle armor. Lin Tianyu’s strength is not strong, and only at roughly sixth rank. However, this Church warrior is actually at the seventh rank, and has a golden-colored battle armor!”

When Li Yang heard this information, his brows immediately locked up deeply. “Could it be that Lin Tianyu is one of the Church’s holy warriors? That’s can’t be, according to the information within the Security Bureau, bronze rank holy warriors are equivalent to a fifth stage expert, how did he reach the sixth rank?” Now, Li Yang understood why Lin Tianyu was so formidable at such a young age; it was because of the bronze battle armor.

The Church’s armed forces organization — Religious Law. Religious Law’s most powerful forces were the holy warriors, however, holy warriors mainly relied on the battle armor’s energy, and each set of battle armor was extremely precious. It was because Holy Forest group was a subsidiary of the Church that Lin Tianyu got a bronze set of battle armor.

Li Yang bitterly shook his head. It was still better to be realistic, and to first acc.u.mulate strength before anything else. However, other than acc.u.mulating strength, having money was still incredibly important! However currently, there was a billion dollars in front of him, yet he did not have the strength to obtain it yet. The person who issued this mission most likely never thought that there was anyone who could actually kill this seventh rank expert either. After all, this Wolf Monarch was at the peak of the seventh rank, and was comparable to the Vampire Prince!

“Li Yang, if you really want this billion dollars, it’s not like there is no way. As long as Overlord helps you, there wouldn’t be any problems. Isn’t it only a seventh rank expert?” Overlord Xiang Yu’s voice was full of disdain towards the seventh rank expert, and displayed his arrogance!
