Crime Prison Island

"An appearance fee of one hundred million, a prize of one billion, and the champion even gets a hundred-ton Cyberna Ring?"

Gao Xin pondered and finally sighed, "Alright, I'll reluctantly participate."

Quinn rubbed his nose and laughed, "Thanks to you, they're giving so much this time that even I'm tempted."

Gao Xin shrugged. Although he had established a nation, he was still very poor.

The six Silver Tower Villages were yet to be in hand, and making money was a matter of years.

These past days, just supporting himself and Wan Kai and Tiga, recovering their strength, had already emptied his coffers, and it was the Bull King and others who had been footing the bill for him.

"I need a Dharma Body, but because of a lack of money, I haven't taken any action..."

"Looks like I can only make a big development at the Elephant King Conference this time."

Gao Xin shook his head. He was merely employing a strategy to let Solomon offer terms.

In reality, even just for a Dharma Body, he had to participate in the Elephant King Conference.

Otherwise, relying solely on his financial support, each Dharma body requires astronomical funds!

Think of the other major powers' Dragon Levels, their Dharma bodies, several hundred meters tall, were also plucked from the Dragon King Conference.

Take, for example, Caesar's thousand-meter giant body; weighing millions of tons, how terrifying!

And the Eagle King Dharma Body also weighs over a thousand tons; Gao Xin didn't believe a mere Pampas could sustain it.

In comparison, currently, under his command, only the Bull King has a Dharma Body.

How could he crusade against Sea King Port?

Moreover, the Bull King's Dharma Body appears to be a thousand meters tall, but it's actually an empty shell.

The exterior is supported by solid rock; internally, the actual body is only over two hundred meters tall.

So, Gao Xin must have a Dharma Body that can support the mainstay.

Otherwise, if Sea King Port flips the table, he'd have no means to stop it.

The day the Dharma Body is forged will be the day to crusade against Sea King Port.

...

"Kun meat, bring me another two hundred tons!"

The Elephant King Conference started on the second day.

There weren't any preliminaries either, because True Elephant Level isn't as many as True Tiger Level, with the whole island having only about three thousand.

As for Quasi-Elephant Kings, there are even fewer, with each power having at most a dozen or so people, at least a few.

The Sky Island adopted an invitation system, ultimately arranging only 128 to compete.

In the break area, Gao Xin and Quinn were eating and drinking recklessly.

Besides them, there were Rui Jun and the Nine of Hearts accompanying, also seizing this opportunity.

The two of them also have the Infinite Development module.

But the income at the Elephant Level can hardly sustain too large a Dharma Body, so they were also crazily plucking the wool of the Sky Island.

"Don't be polite with the officials, eat to your heart's content!"

"Solomon, bring over a thousand tons of Kun meat directly!"

Gao Xin shouted boldly, and it seemed like he was the one treating everyone.

The Nine of Hearts, the Quasi-Elephant King of the New World, already felt overwhelmed after eating a dozen tons and sighed, "Tai Sui, you're amazing. You can digest dragon meat so quickly?"

Gao Xin smiled, "You might as well consider me a True Dragon."

His digestive microbiome was vastly ahead of itself, with a digestive capability already at the True Dragon Level.

Thus, he could directly consume dragon meat and develop the Titan Avatar of the Dragon Level.

And the so-called Kun meat is True Dragon Level meat provided by the officials, belonging to the best quality kind.

It came from the depths of the Pacific, a Giant Kun reared by the Navy, which is also the source of the [Infinite Development] module.

That guy was simply too huge, and the Navy would regularly slice off meat, akin to shearing wool.

The quality was much better than the effect of the Dragon Level small Radiation Beasts bred by the island forces themselves.

"The official's productivity is too strong..."

"They have deep pockets, casually offering some chips that we cannot refuse."

"And for them, it's just pocket change to run a game."

Gao Xin chatted as he ate.

Quinn then said, "Actually, whether it's the prize money or this hospitality, it's all the wealth from the powerful figures behind the scenes, the Sky Island Apostles didn't spend a dime..."

"Or rather, the Apostles simply have no money."

Gao Xin raised an eyebrow, "I see now, the Apostles are just messengers? Providing the venue?"

Quinn nodded, "The Apostles really have no particular agenda, it's more like they're maintaining a platform, you can think of them as server administrators."

"High-level Apostles, hard to say, each is peculiar and has their own life goals."

"As for ordinary Apostles, they're rather laid-back, actually more of a chaotic neutral."

Gao Xin laughed, "Ordinary Apostles just handle maintenance, it's just a regular job?"

Solomon always said things to him like it's just a job, he thought it was a metaphor, turns out it was literally true?

Quinn said, "That's basically it. It's mainly the Navy that prevents us from escaping, and for the Apostles, it's sometimes the Navy or giant corporations asking them for help in capturing people."

Gao Xin pondered; it wasn't the Apostles who insisted he participate in the Elephant King Conference, it was indeed the doing of the wealthy powers.

Why?

As he considered the idea, more Quasi-Elephant Kings began to arrive.

Without exception, they'd greet Gao Xin and Quinn first, expressing their mild hospitality.

Soon, Li Fengqing and Yak also arrived.

Seeing Yak, Gao Xin smiled, "Long time no see, Yak, come over and eat, there's someone generous treating."

Yak had a heavy expression, "I heard you're a Quasi-Dragon King now?"

"Brother, combat isn't just fighting and killing..." Gao Xin patted his shoulder, discovering he had already reached True Elephant Level.

However, by his estimation, Quasi-Elephant King Yak's actual combat power was roughly comparable to a top True Dragon, similar to Quinn's, yet not quite reaching Quasi-Dragon King status.

In fact, Yak was not even as good as Quinn.

On one hand, Yak had broken through only recently, his foundation insufficiently solid. While Quinn had been advancing in Quasi-Elephant King for a long time, making even his mount the world's second strongest Elephant Level.

On the other hand, Quinn still had the Moon's Eye and Super Normal Overclocking as trump cards, and that was only the known part, not to mention the unknown ones?

To occupy a place among the strong who are each prevalent Quasi-Dragon Kings, Gao Xin dared not underestimate Quinn in the slightest...

By comparison, Yak relied purely on consciousness and skill, modules, and until the moment Gao Xin parted from him, he had no special trump cards.

One can only say, Yak was too immersed in fighting, purely devoted to his own strength, a pure warrior.

"I'll definitely surpass you." Yak said bluntly, and immersed himself in eating.

Gao Xin saw he was engrossed only in combat and said no more, instead admiring Adam a bit more.

Yes, Adam.

Although he had yet to meet him, they'd clashed openly and covertly numerous times, even killing many of Eden Heaven's Dragon Levels and conning him out of resources.

To this, the illustrious Island Master Adam had no response, nor did he leverage his connection with Yak.

Yak was completely unaware of what had transpired.

This was either because Adam genuinely cared for Yak or his scheming was too deep, plotting something big.

"It's starting! The competition is starting!"

Some in the crowd called out.

Gao Xin observed the scene as the people arrived in the arena, and the conference began directly.

The rules were simple; it was merely a series of direct elimination matches.

The only special aspect was that the observation platform had no so-called legendary figures of the past but rather top figures from the Three Kingdoms and Nine Cities.

The spectators were all top True Dragons or Quasi-Dragon Kings!

As the barrage opened, there were only audience comments everywhere, converging centered above Caesar, densely packed!

"Caesar! Caesar! Tyrant Caesar!"

"Quick, predict who the Elephant King is!"

"Does it even need a prediction? The top bets are only Tai Sui, Quinn, and Yak, the three legends!"

"Ha, this time no Apostles are stepping in, but they brought over an Elephant King from the European Battlefield as if the Navy doesn't have figures?"

"You know who that is? A Legendary Vice Admiral, achieving this as an Elephant Level, all due to merits!"

"Among the Navy Elephant Level, the only super legend who had fought with the four Saints of Cangyue, Dark Moon, Bright Moon, and Ni Guang and survived, Brando!"

"What nonsense, what counts for Cangyue? Can he really beat Milan and Caesar? It's already incredible to survive him, isn't it?"

"Stop bickering, I want to hear the Tyrant speak!"

The barrage goaded relentlessly; many didn't know there were power levels beyond the Dragon Level.

Caesar couldn't bear it anymore, finally exclaiming angrily, "What nonsense? If Tai Sui doesn't win the championship, I'll step down on the spot."

His voice resounded throughout the venue, possessing immense confidence.

Gao Xin was eating when he heard this and was speechless.

"Alright, alright... You said it yourself."
