Chapter 148: Chapter 149: Just How Capable Are You?

Facing Gu Qijue, Victoria launched attacks from various angles, attempting to make him move, but Victoria evidently failed.

After sparring for a quarter of an hour, Victoria took the initiative to stop.

She bowed respectfully and said, “Your Excellency the Leader, I am currently not your opponent.”

Gu Qijue nodded slightly; if he wanted to win or lose against Victoria, she would have died long ago.

The reason for fighting Victoria for so long was just to see how her practical combat ability truly was.

Panel data is related to strength, but panel data absolutely does not equate to strength.

Just like now, he could completely confirm that Victoria, a Demigod First Level, was stronger than the Demigod Third Level Di Kui Demigod.

This was something the Di Kui Demigod was obviously aware of as well.

Gu Qijue and Victoria merely had a simple exchange above the Ice Soul Domain.

But the impact of their exchange was enormous and ongoing.

Currently, in various parts of the Ice Soul Domain, whether it was people from the Emperor Star Alliance or the cultivators surrendered to the Ice Soul Domain, they were all discussing this matter enthusiastically.

Great Emperor Guyangze and Dao Taihuang even gathered together.

Great Emperor Guyangze couldn’t help but ask, “Eldest Brother, where did the Demigod who fought with the Leader come from?”

Dao Taihuang smiled helplessly, “I don’t know either.”

He truly didn’t know; apart from Gu Qijue, probably no one could explain it.

However, Dao Taihuang still said, “No matter where that Demigod Victoria came from, it suffices that she is Demigod combat power of our Emperor Star.”

Great Emperor Guyangze certainly agreed with this viewpoint.

Similar dialogues were also appearing in other places.

Compared to other powerhouses, the Celestial Moon Demon Emperor wasn’t as particular.

At this time, the Celestial Moon Demon Emperor had already appeared in the Infinite Group’s Floating Base.

To be more precise, the Celestial Moon Demon Emperor had already appeared in Gu Qijue’s office within the Infinite Group’s Floating Base, sitting on Gu Qijue’s lap, facing him closely.

For powerhouses at the level of the Celestial Moon Demon Emperor, time no longer held any significance for them.

Their life level was extremely high; the passage of time could no longer leave any traces on them.

She was really close to Gu Qijue, sitting on his lap in this manner, making him unable to resist the urge to cleanse her blood purity.

After the Celestial Moon Demon Emperor sat on his lap in this manner, Gu Qijue casually asked, “What’s the matter?”

The Celestial Moon Demon Emperor, with her beautiful eyes like pools of limpid water, looked earnestly at Gu Qijue and asked, “How did the Demigod powerhouse from the Infinite Group come about?”

She wasn’t worried that the other party would compete for favor, but was genuinely curious about how the Infinite Group could produce another Demigod powerhouse.

In the past, although the Infinite Group was also over-the-top, it merely produced some highly effective potions or some technologically advanced weapons.

More exaggeratedly, it produced Saint Tier war machines.

This time, the sudden emergence of a Demigod from the Infinite Group was naturally the most outrageous!

After the Celestial Moon Demon Emperor inquired, Gu Qijue chuckled lightly and said, “Can’t a Demigod powerhouse be lured to join the Infinite Group?”

The Celestial Moon Demon Emperor hesitated for a moment, then said, “With the development trend of the Infinite Group, recruiting a Demigod powerhouse isn’t something unimaginable.”

“But when you dueled with that Demigod, I saw very clearly that she was very respectful to you.”

“She doesn’t seem to be your ally, nor does she seem to be your employee.”

“Her attitude toward you, inappropriately put, is more like that of a servant to a master.”

The Celestial Moon Demon Emperor was not belittling Victoria; rather, Victoria was inherently one hundred percent loyal to Gu Qijue.

Saying that this stunning Demigod was Gu Qijue’s servant seemed not to be a problem.

Gu Qijue pondered for a moment and spoke again, “The Infinite Group is secretly conducting some highly confidential projects.”

“These projects will help both the Infinite Group and the Emperor Star Alliance grow together.”

“The Fog Moon Mecha of Silver Moon, the Nightmare Intelligence of Emperor Star, my disciple Gu Yinling, and the Celestial Punishment war machine of the Infinite Group.”

“As well as the Demigod Victoria you saw not long ago, are all results of secret projects of the Infinite Group.”

Gu Qijue used a somewhat vague and unverifiable explanation to account for this matter.

He couldn’t disclose anything about the Infinite Engine right now; the deeper he understood the Infinite Engine, the more he felt it was extremely heaven-defying.

Such a high-end technological product, he did not know what level of intelligent life had created it.

Nor did he know for what reason it had drifted to Emperor Star and fallen into his hands.

The Celestial Moon Demon Emperor, of course, believed Gu Qijue’s explanation.

She had long felt that the Infinite Group was doing something hidden from the public eye.

Only in this way could the Infinite Group continuously reveal something remarkable every once in a while.

After inquiring about the matters of her concern, the Celestial Moon Demon Emperor giggled, “Does Your Excellency intend to chat with me forever?”

Gu Qijue shook his head, “Of course not; in fact, I’ve long wanted to make you beg for mercy in tears.”

If he had said this to Ji Tianyue earlier, she definitely would have retaliated against him.

After all, at that time, Ji Tianyue was a top-tier Demon Emperor, and the difference in power between him and Ji Tianyue was enormous.

Now it was different; even when he spoke candidly, Ji Tianyue could only be the one being dealt with by him.

Hearing this, the Celestial Moon Demon Emperor wasn’t angry; instead, she continued giggling, “Then we’ll have to see if Your Excellency has what it takes to make me beg for mercy in tears.”

Gu Qijue smiled and said, “As you wish.”

As soon as the words fell, an overflowing energetic barrier enveloped the entire office.

Moments later, everyone in the Floating Base of the Infinite Group wore slightly odd expressions.

Not knowing what had just happened, the Floating Base of the Infinite Group shook unusually.

In fact, even now, the Floating Base of the Infinite Group was being held steady by Gu Qijue’s powerful energy force field.

Without this immensely strong energy force field stabilizing it, the Floating Base of the Infinite Group would remain in a state of constant trembling.

Meanwhile, in a valley in the Ice Soul Domain, Ji Shang, Lan Xi, Xing Emperor, Cute Treasure, and approximately another five thousand elite members of the Emperor Academy were gathered here.

After Silver Wings, these elite members of the Emperor Academy welcomed a new mentor.

Only this new mentor looked excessively young, appearing to be only fourteen or fifteen years old.

When everyone’s eyes looked over, Gu Yinling spoke up to introduce himself.

His presence here was, of course, at the behest of Gu Qijue.

When he had no special missions, he would always be at the Emperor Academy, cultivating the most outstanding prodigies for the Emperor Star Alliance.
