Dockett’s ability was a truly unique one. He was able to extract a person’s negative state and transfer it onto the body of another person.
At that point, Biggie’s wound was transferred onto Gu Ding. Gu Ding frowned slightly when he took over the damages, but did not make a sound.
Biggie’s wound was not too serious. He had only bone cracks and his internal organs had suffered a concussion. Other than that, there were some traces left by his surgery. As Gu Ding’s body did not have a source of damage, it took less than a few minutes for him to completely restore himself at high speed after those wounds were transferred into him.
After Dockett was done with this, Gu Ding walked Malcolm and Dockett out of the spaceship, but later pulled Dockett to the side.
“It’s not realistic for you to view Malcolm as your target. Malcolm’s real ability is comparable to that of Roland. Both of them are demigod powerhouses at their peaks. They are fully capable of slaughtering deities. Even though he is ranked 33 on the Demigod Ranking, he has never taken the initiative to challenge anyone. However, if we were to look at his true capabilities, he is absolutely qualified to be in the top 10. Judging from your current situation, you would need to achieve at least demigod level to be able to truly be on par to fight him. When I say on par to fight with him, it does not mean that you achieve the ability to be good enough to go up against him, rather, I mean that you would actually be powerful enough to force him into displaying his true abilities.”
“Does he truly have the power to slaughter deities?” Dockett knew that Malcolm had never really showcased his true powers whenever Dockett challenged him, but he had no idea of the extent of how powerful Malcolm was.
“Yes, it is absolutely true!” Gu Ding had no doubts about Neptune’s conclusion.
“Looks like it would be difficult for me to defeat him before achieving demigod level. If that is the case, I’ll be stuck on this planet forever…” Dockett frowned. He had thought he would have a slight chance of victory when he had achieved Rank 13 Gene Body. If Malcolm was as powerful as Gu Ding described, he would not be able to leave Utfer anytime soon.
“Actually, you can choose another opponent,” Gu Ding took the opportunity to mention this when he saw Dockett’s hesitation.
“Who should I pick? Your crew member, Robert, may have powerful attack effectiveness, but it cannot be compared to a human. It does not mean much for me to battle him, regardless if I win or lose. I don’t think anyone else on your crew can go up against me other than Biggie, but he has only a month left to live in his current condition,” Dockett shook his head.
Gu Ding replied with conviction, “Don’t worry, nothing will happen to Biggie. The opponent you should challenge, is me.”
“I’ve seen the video of your battle last night. You do have the ability to suppress all Rank 13 Gene Body, but what you are unaware of is that I may have Rank 12 Gene Body, but my soul energy is close to that of a demigod level. Not only that, but I am also a psychokinetic with a demigod item in my hands. I’m able to kill any ordinary demigod level powerhouse. The most important point, is that a psychokinetic such me has the professional ability to suppress close combat martial artists such as yourselves. Even if you possess the same combat effectiveness as I do, it would be impossible for you to win,” Dockett was not underestimating Gu Ding. He acknowledged Gu Ding’s strength. To be able to beat a group of Rank 13 Gene Body with only the power of Rank 7 Gene Body was something that Dockett would never be able to do. Dockett had too much of an upper hand compared to Gu Ding, which made winning Gu Ding not much of a victory. Dockett instead wished that the fight with Gu Ding could be postponed. Gu Ding might very well turn into a worthy opponent if he became stronger.
“How would you know without trying? My abilities have achieved a breakthrough again tonight and I want to test myself by fighting you,” Gu Ding knew that Dockett was unwilling to fight him because of the video he had previously watched. Dockett must have thought that Gu Ding’s combat effectiveness was not as powerful and was not interested in the challenge because of this.
Dockett was doubtful about his. Every time Dockett had a breakthrough with his gene level, it would take him at least one day and one night. Of course, he was open to the possibility that someone would be able to achieve breakthrough speedily if they possessed unique physical qualities. “You’ve achieved a breakthrough in one night? Well then, let’s have one fight. Although, let’s be clear that whoever loses is not allowed to harass the other and request for best two out of three. We’ll decide the outcome in one round.”
Malcolm was quite speechless when Dockett made the declaration. He was thinking about how thick-skinned Dockett was. Requests such as best two out of three were always made by Dockett to Malcolm, which were always extended to best three out of five and best four out of seven…
However, they have fought each other N times and Dockett had never once won, except for the one time when Malcolm let him have one victory out of exasperation. Malcolm had thought that if he lost on purpose, this young man would finally leave. He did not expect for Dockett to reject the victory, insisting that it was not counted because Malcolm had lost on purpose.
“Remember your words,” Gu Ding felt that Dockett was not doing himself any favors.
“Do you need me to create an energy barrier for you?” Malcolm was in a pleasant mood. He had seen Gu Ding’s previous video. If Gu Ding had achieved a breakthrough, he would have some chances at winning. Moreover, Gu Ding looked pretty confident. If Gu Ding won, Malcolm would finally be able to get rid of this man, who was as sticky as chewy candy.
“I’m fine,” a wide smile appeared on Gu Ding’s face as he shook his head at Malcolm.
He turned toward Dockett. “Are you ready?”
“I’m a psychokinetic. Once I make my move, you’ll have absolutely no chance,” Dockett replied with confidence.
“I won’t stand on ceremony then!” Gu Ding said as he fully activated all enhancement abilities, increasing his combat effectiveness to 2000 times in an instant. He had also activated his martial arts domain at the same time, pulling Dockett into it.
Malcolm was stunned as he watched both of them disappear from the scene. “How is this possible? Gu Ding is only Rank 7 Gene Body. Even if he had achieved a breakthrough, he would only be at Rank 8 Gene Body. Moreover, I cannot detect any sense of demigod in him. Why is he able to use this domain? This domain requires God Source to be activated, which would mean that his body currently possesses God Source…”
Dockett knew he had been pulled into a domain when he saw the scene in front of him suddenly change. As he was thinking that this was done by Malcolm in order to prevent the harbor from being destroyed when he noticed there was nothing in this domain, much like a barren land yet to be developed. He immediately turned to look at Gu Ding, asking uncertainly, “This is your domain?”
“That’s right. I haven’t had time to develop it, which is why it looks pretty barren,” Gu Ding scratched his head, feeling slightly embarrassed. There was nothing in this domain, and the ground beneath was filled with bumps and hollows. It looked really pitiful.
“How did you do this? Even if you have cultivated the domain of another demigod or deity, you would not be able to activate it without God Source, would you?” Dockett was getting quite curious about this.
Gu Ding was not bothered with providing an explanation. A black energy flowed out freely from his body as it quickly wrapped around both his hands.
Dockett could easily tell that the energy Gu Ding was using was not Righteous Force, but was truly a God Source. Much like Malcolm’s, the energy flowing out of Gu Ding looked like it was alive. Only a God Source could create such an effect.
“You’ve upgraded to demigod? That’s impossible, no one is capable of upgrading from Rank 7 Gene Body to demigod level in one night!” This was Dockett’s first reaction, but he had also quickly thought it impossible.
“There’s no need to guess further. If one cultivates Righteous Force to its extreme, it would naturally be transformed in God Source. It’s not that complicated,” Gu Ding immediately answered Dockett.
“I know this, but it’s rare for someone to be able to truly cultivate Righteous Force in God Source. Most people would elevate to demigod level and only start cultivating Divine Connection Tome to temper and assimilate their Righteous Force before slowly transforming it into God Source. This is a very slow transformation process. Normal 1-Star Divine Connection Tome that possesses the capacity to temper and assimilate would require around three hundred years for complete transformation. Even a 2-Star Divine Connection tome would require at least fifty years and above,” Dockett had been making preparations to upgrade to demigod level and had done a lot of research on the subject. He had a very clear understanding of the transformation from Righteous Force to God Source.
“You had actually managed to transform all your Righteous Force into God Source in one night. Why not let me have a look at the power of your God Source!”
Dockett quickly shot out close to a hundred of little silver blades from his sleeves in quick succession as he said this. His two special abilities of increased speed and razor-sharpness were enchanted onto these hundreds of blades. His Righteous Force was bright white, which was why when those little silver blades flew out from him, they looked like a meteor shower flying across the empty sky, but they were targeted at Gu Ding. However, Dockett soon realized that his attack speed and attack effectiveness had been greatly diminished in this space. He knew the moment he let fly those blades from his hands that this would be a difficult fight.
All Gu Ding did was smile widely. Dockett’s attack looked vicious, but only the one demigod item among those hundreds of little blades would be capable of causing him harm. The other little blades were all blocked by his Gu Ding’s God Source and were far from being able to hurt him.
However, he had to make Dockett accept the defeat wholeheartedly, which was why he did not avoid the blades, nor did he choose to defend himself from them. Gu Ding chose to attack instead.
Hundreds of finger force were shot out from all then of Gu Ding’s fingers, going head to head with all the blades sent out by Dockett.
The black light formed from the God Source shot out quickly, colliding speedily into the ‘meteor shower’ created by Dockett. Almost all of those hundreds of flying blades were destroyed in one move. Only the demigod item had managed to break through the obstacle of the finger force. However, its speed slowed down from more than twice its normal speed because of the finger force attack.
Gu Ding released more finger force in succession. Flashes of black light continuously crashed into the last force of silver light until it eventually dimmed and bounced back to where it had come from.
“You lost!” Gu Ding said as a bunch of black energy threads formed under Dockett’s feet before he had realized it. The threads wrapped themselves around both of Dockett’s feet as they moved upwards onto his body while the energy within Dockett quickly drained. It took less than a few seconds before Dockett was wrapped up like a dumpling from the black energy with only his head showing. Gu Ding’s move was inspired by tentacle cocooning.

“Fine, I admit defeat…” It was only now that Dockett finally realized that his ability was completely not on par with Gu Ding.
Both of them appeared at Ufter’s harbor the next minute after Gu Ding released him from the restraints and activated the exit of the domain.
Malcolm knew the result of the right when he saw the grim-faced Dockett, but could not help ridiculing, “Who won?”
