Chapter 75: Endless Grinding and Insanely Fast Progress
--- Chapter 75 ---
Housing Dorm No.14, Meeting Room.
In the room with the round table, Dragon Nest's higher-ups and several high-ranked members attended the emergency meeting in their hologram projection.
"We are here today to hold an emergency meeting." Qianye Ying'er took Liu Mei's position as the secretary because the Queen of Thunder with the Student Exchanging Program.
"Yesterday, Yuhao received a task to unlock a portion of his potential. He challenged to conquer another world."
"Wait, wait. Hold on for a minute." Yun Han placed his wine on the table. "Did you just say conquer another world?"
Huo Yuhao rubbed his forehead because it would be a pain in the ass to explain Highschool DxD's lore, but he had to do it nonetheless. He contacted Giana through the spiritual link and told her to share the knowledge in his head.
Everyone received a file and checked it immediately, leaving them speechless because it was "indeed." another world. And this world has several Gods from different mythology reigned over it.
Murong Qianxue checked the file and muttered, "Gods, Devils, Angels, Fallen Angels, Dragons, and Humans. What a chaotic world to live in..."
"As for their powers, are they genuinely a god? Even though they have divinity, the Gods in our world are higher-dimensional beings with absolute control over lower realms."
"That's the confusing part." Huo Yuhao sighed while telling Giana to share a rough estimate of Highschool DxD's power level.
...
Tier-1/Spirit Master(Level 1-10)
Regular humans, animals, and other creatures with no magical power and at the bottom of the food chain and even considered canon fooders by higher tiers.
Tier-2/Spirit Grandmaster(11-20)
Anyone from the weakest magic user, including but not limited to a "human." revived to below the average low-class devil. It also applies to sorcerers who've just started their training.
Tier-3/Spirit Elder to Ancestor(Level 21-50)
The tier varied power degrees of a low-class sorcerer, devil, angel, or fallen angel and applied to most magical creatures in the world.
Tier-4/Spirit King(Level 51-60)
The stage between the low and middle-class creatures in the food chain of Highschool DxD's world. Even though not accurate but may be close enough because we haven't gone there yet.
Tier-5/Spirit Emperor(Level 61-70)
Beings with middle-class magical power. It uses the exact rough measurement as tier 4 because we didn't go there to explore the area yet.
Tier-6/Spirit Saint(Level 71-80)
The stage between the middle and high class.
Tier-7/Spirit Douluo(Level 81-90)
High-class Devils, Angel, Fallen Angels.
Tier-8/Title Douluo(Level 91-94)
The stage between high and ultimate class.
Tier-9/Hyper Douluo(Level 95-98)
Ultimate-class
Tier-10/Limit Douluo or Demi-God(Level 99)
Satan/Seraph/Gov. General-like power.
Tier-11/God Officer, 3rd Class God, 2nd Class God(Level 100-120)
Gods, Super Devils, Heavenly Dragon, Divine-like Beings.
Tier-12/1st Class God to God Kings(Level 130-150)
Beings who are above the gods and can bring about the end of the world. An example of the Great Red, Ophis, and Trihexa.
....
Everyone was quiet when seeing the difference in power scaling between their worlds and stared at Huo Yuhao, who solemnly stared at them. He seriously wanted to conquer this world?
"This is rough power-scaling. I'm not one hundred percent sure because the Gods in our world are 4th Dimensional Being after ascending godhood. While the Godkings are 5th Dimensional Being with infinite control over lower realm like Douluo Planet and even higher planar realm outside there." Huo Yuhao commented while leaning on his chair.
"That's why I don't want to reveal too much of our power to the public. Do you think I care about these lousy factions like Body Sect? The answer is no because the Gods out there are more terrifying. They don't care about rules and only want to satisfy their so-called justice without thinking about the cause-effect of their actions."
"10.000 years ago, Tang San the Sea God and Asura God wiped out Spirit Hall from the face of Douluo Planet, and guess what happened now? The remnant of Spirit Hall becomes Holy Ghost Church and created more terror."
"Then, What should we do in this situation, young lord?" A random guy asked with a confused look.
Huo Yuhao sighed because he was saving this project for the future, but the Main Quest suddenly appeared. "Giana." He called for the Dragon Nest's beloved AI.
"Yes, Master~?" Giana appeared in her digital form.
"Open God Slayer Project." He added, to which Giana responded with a nod. She swiped her hand in and transferred files to everyone in the Emergency Meeting.
"This is..." Yun Han's eyes widened in awe because Huo Yuhao really planned for everything. Drunken Ocean Douluo always wondered why the young man was so agitated in this meeting, odd than his casual self. It seemed the High School DxD's World was more dangerous than everyone expected.
Huo Yuhao looked at them and indifferently declared, "We have six days before the mission begins. In this oddly tense moment, Shishou, Mom, and I would turn everyone into God Slayers. I don't care about your feelings. Train until every last bone and blood in your body is strong enough to face the Gods."
"Aww, Hao'er being tsundere again. So cute~!" Huo Yun'er quickly hugged Huo Yuhao from behind, which caused everyone to laugh because they knew their leaders acted tough to motivate them.
"Trust us, Kiddo." Yun Han sipped his wine and released a satisfied burp. "We won't let you take every burden like the last time."
"We, Dragon Nest, would be your greatest power no matter what." Everyone smiled and gave Huo Yuhao a firm look.
Huo Yuhao laughed and shouted, "HAHAHA~! THEN, START MOVING, YOU FUCKERS! START TRAINING WITH ALL YOUR MiGHT AT ADVALON!"
"Dragon Nest would conquer another world." He added while standing from his seat, making everyone instinctively bow to him.
They opened their mouths simultaneously and replied, "Your wish is our command, Hao'er/Yuhao/Young Lords/Master!"
[Ding! Quest has appeared]
[Name: Become Title Douluo]
[Objective: Become Title Douluo before the Main Quest started(Level 80/91)]
[Reward: 3x Treasure Boxes(S), Gold Upgrading Tickets(5), Black Gold Upgrading Tickets(2)]
[Penalty: None]
[Time Limit: 6 Days and 9 Hours]
[Do you want to accept the Quest?]
[Yes/No]
"Yes." Huo Yuhao replied. Evo is good at reading at the moment.
"Well, Dragon Nest. Let's start grinding."
...
...
As Huo Yuhao announced the news, Every high-ranked member of the Dragon Nest was required to attend Inhuman Hellish Training by Scathach, Huo Yun'er, and him in Advalon. They are destroyed into pieces and molded to become God Slayer within six days. That's plenty because Advalon's time dilation has increased "greatly." over the past three years. It was a whopping 12:1, meaning they had roughly 2.5 months to train inside Advalon.
Huo Yuhao, Eluxia, and Xiao Chen, or what people called the weapon maniac, also started to make Battle Armor based on Hundred/Huo Yuhao's Eas for everyone who participated in the World Conquering Quest. It shows success because Huo Yuhao used 1000% of his brain with Overclock and prepared this for so long after receiving Ebony Arm Shrouds six years ago. They also created and added God-Slaying Weapons with Primordial Rune enchanted on the Hundred's Battle Armor. And Eluxia helped them to turn the Armor into a Spiritual Item that could create a bond with Spirit Master.
The next step was the Martial Soul Transplanting Project, where every high-ranked member of the Dragon Nest was qualified to have one more martial soul besides their original one. This project enhanced their overall strength a lot. And even higher-ups like Yun Han ascended to level 100 despite not having God's Position, making him a wild god/god officer.
Even though everything went well, Dragon Nest burned 50 years' worth of resources in just one month. However, it's worth it to start the God Slayer Project prematurely because Huo Yuhao can't let his subordinate die in the Highschool DxD world. He also can't fail Main Quest because his progress would be slower without Evo's upgrade.
As for the Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao created a Dark Avenger Clone that would last forever until someone killed it. Even though the clone only has 10% of his power, it is strong enough to wipe everyone there.
Huo Yuhao, Scathach, and Qianye Ying'er also used another excuse, like seclusive training, as they gained sudden enlightenment, and Yan Shaozhe somehow believed them.
And sixty-nine days later.
...
...
At the Self-Evolving Dungeon, Advalon.
A young man with long blue hair tied in a ponytail was sitting at the mountain's peak. Over a Billion micro neon green lines with concentrated Spirit Energy appeared on his pale skin, circulating to match his breathing technique.
He slowly opened his eyes and showed the world a pair of majestic blue eyes, changing color to Golden, Green, and Greyish colors within one motion.
"Chain of Heavens..." Huo Yuhao unhurriedly opened his mouth and summoned over a hundred thousand black-colored chains with golden markings. Nine spirit rings materialized around him and suppressed the whole area inside Advalon in pressure. And unlike your typical spirit rings, Huo Yuhao's Spirit Rings have a brownish-golden color that indicates each of them is 1.000.000 years old or even older. f(r)eewebn(o)vel.com
"Naga." A massive dragon shadow with purplish-black scales appeared behind him. Seven purple gold Spirit Rings appeared and rotated around the Dragon's Body.
Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and mumbled, "Ancestor Eyes."
As he revealed the Ancestor's Eyes, Divine-like Spiritual Energy washed the whole dungeon and suppressed every living being with the Supreme King's Presence. They couldn't move because bright blue eyes gazed at their souls. And two white gold spirit rings appeared behind Huo Yuhao's head.
"Divine Throne-!"
"STOP! STOP, YUHAO!!" Tian Meng suddenly roared from the spiritual sea. "Do you want to kill your subordinate with energy overload, you dumbass? For fuck sake, your monstrous show-off killed the nearest 100.000 years beast instantly."
Bing Di waved her hand casually and commented, "Why not? I don't mind seeing my host dominating the world."
Eluxia giggled and added, "Haha, that's true~. Also, Huo Yuhao controlled his spiritual energy well with my teaching, which meant he wouldn't kill anybody. He has grown tremendously over the past 69 days. With this talent, he should become a god sooner or later."
"I haven't slept that long, huh?" Huo Yuhao sighed while circulating Spirit Energy with Universal Breathing Technique.

"What a grind. I've been wasting more resources than anyone, but it is necessary." Huo Yuhao clenched his fist and felt power overwhelming him inside. Even though he currently has 42 segments of Ouroboros Tattoo, which restricted his strength with Primordial Rune. His power was still overflowing because of the excessive energy.
By the way, Huo Yuhao finished the Become Title Douluo Quest one week ago but decided to solidify and balance his strength first with his teachers' help. Scathach helped him control his physical strength, and Eluxia taught him how to utilize Spiritual Energy properly.
"I need a warm bath after this." Huo Yuhao deactivated all his abilities and glanced at his inventory.
