‘Special Ability 5: Level 2 Advanced Iron Block (Able to Evolve)’

‘Special Ability 6: Rank 1 Martial Arts Field (Able to Evolve)’

‘Special Ability 7: Level 1 Advanced repulsive effect’

‘Ability Description: Able to control items and make them go in any direction in any form of push and pull; the limit of the push and pull force is ten times the effect.’

‘Ability Limitation 1: When using the ability, a part of the body must be in physical contact with the item.’

‘Ability Limitation 2: Any item can only be controlled by pushing and pulling. (Controlled items with repulsive effects are not included)’

‘Ability Limitation 3: If the ability is used numerous times on the same item, the ability can only be executed once.’

‘Ability Limitation 4: If the size of the controlled item is huge, the ability can only be used within a range of 1000 meters.’

Neptune was a little envious of Gu Ding’s luck when he saw that Gu Ding had gained a new ability. Advanced abilities were not something easily acquired, and the ability Gu Ding had freshly developed was a rare and powerful ability. It was considered quite the achievement if someone managed to obtain ability that could control gravity. To gain the ability to control an object in any form of push or pull naturally included the ability to control gravity.

Gu Ding was delighted when he saw the ability. He started to think about ways to develop the ability.

Gu Ding did not waste any time as there was still room for him to expand his Cell Index. He started to swallow black crystals, the ones that allowed an individual to add on fifty thousand index points with each one consumed.

Days passed and Gu Ding only used two days to enhance his Cell Index to a million points. Unfortunately, there were no more Earth Core Crystals for him to use, and it was impossible for him to achieve a breakthrough to Rank 8.

Gu Ding started cultivating his Righteous Force with the remaining time. He wanted to complete the fourth cycle before arriving at Red Shield. His Righteous Force was now powerful to a terrifying extent, probably even surpassing Biggie’s, the strongest person in his crew.

When Gu Ding’s Cell Index hit a million points, he was finally able to use Ultimate Arts Level 12 without causing any stress to his body. He was also no longer restricted to a time frame when using it. Ultimate Arts Level 12 was the last level in Ultimate Arts; enhancing one’s combat effectiveness by three hundred and twenty times, it had reached its limit.

Basic combat effectiveness of a million points was also the maximum enhancement effect produced by Bronze Grade Combat Armor. The enhancement effects of Bronze Grade Armor had a limit of a million points, and it could not exceed that limit even if Gu Ding had more than a million points.

The other members of Gu Ding’s crew also achieved certain progresses aside from Gu Ding himself. Among them, Lilliath had achieved the most improvement. She had advanced from a Rank 9 Gene Body to a Rank 10. As for her Cell Index, she had gotten it to one million, five hundred, and one thousand points, steadily beating Gu Ding.

Elsa and Biggie already had quite high basic combat effectiveness as they were both Rank 11 Gene Bodies. It was difficult for them to achieve great progress in terms of enhancement. Nevertheless, they managed to improve slightly in terms of ability.

As for what had become of Robert, he had locked himself in his room. On the other hand, as for Tagore who had always been busy stealing food, Gu Ding had no idea what had happened to him at all.

On Red Shield, the Childe family had been extremely busy for the past few days, preparing for combat against Gu Ding.

Ross sat cross-legged on the floor quietly. There was nothing around him, not even a table or chair, which was why he could only sit on the floor.

He was not in his room but in a place used for internal punishment within his tribe called the Repentance Tower.

The body of the tower was made up of bluestone blocks. The bluestone contained material similar to that found in anti-magic chains but had much higher radiation. Anti-magic chains only took effect once a person was chained up. On the other hand, bluestones did not require physical contact to function as an anti-magic medium. As long as the person was within range, their abilities would be sealed.

Any normal person locked within the tower would have their primary power and special ability sealed. All they could do was panic as they looked at the bluestone blocks and prayed to be released each day. Nevertheless, Ross was not anxious at all. He composed himself by closing his eyes, appearing to be asleep.

Surveillance cameras were hidden in every corner of the tower; they were placed with the aim of making sure that the punished repented. Ross had been imprisoned for more than half a month, yet he did not display any sign of anxiousness. He treated the place as his own room, waking up every day to wash up on time. He would go for a morning jog, have breakfast, cultivate, eat lunch, read, eat dinner, read again, and sleep. He kept his daily schedule without fail, and that impressed everyone.

His family had even confiscated his intelligent wristwatch in order to punish him, but it did not seem to have any effect on him.

Lucia was the one who had brought him his dinner today.

“Why are you the one here today?” The family’s servants were normally the ones who took turns to bring him his meals. Ross thought it was a little strange when he saw Lucia serving him personally.

“I saw a servant bringing your food this way and thought it would be convenient since I have something to say to you.” Lucia crouched down as she placed the tray on the floor.

“Gu Ding and his crew should be here by now, am I right? Even if they aren’t, they should be arriving soon.” Ross’ lips curved up slightly as if his current environment did not affect him.

“They should arrive in our star sector tomorrow morning, but no one knows if they will make a direct stop at Red Shield. Your rites of passage is in another two days, and there is a possibility they will choose to stop at nearby planets in order to avoid a clash,” Lucia guessed.

“Gu Ding will definitely dock at Red Shield immediately.” Ross smiled confidently.
