Chapter 152: Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon Is Online!

Meng Qianzheng’s voice trembled, his eyes filled with intense shock—but even more than that, an overwhelming joy was surging within him, ready to erupt like a volcano at any moment!

Dr. Li was in much the same state. He felt a tingling on his scalp, and his calm expression gradually shifted toward excitement and elation.

Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon.

No one knew that name better than they did!

Ever since Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon had claimed the top spot on multiple floors of the Illusory Tower, his name had spread like wildfire across the entire Virtual Network, drawing the attention of every major force in the Vast Domain!

The Blood Slayer Alliance, Pavilion of the Tower, Cloudsky Palace, the Dark Banquet, the Virtual Network Army… even envoys from certain sects and Sacred Clans—all were frantically searching for information about Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon like madmen!

Naturally, the human organizations were no exception.

Even though the chances of inviting such a peerless prodigy into their own forces were incredibly slim, none of them were willing to give up.

They sent invitation emails again and again.

Relentlessly. Non-stop.

They didn’t know if the recipient had blocked them.

They didn’t know if he had already joined another force.

But even if there was only the slightest chance, they would seize it without hesitation!

And for good reason.

Because Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon was the first in the entire history of the Virtual Network to sweep past all records below the 70th floor on his first attempt, improving at an insane pace and ascending like a madman—a stunning genius who defied all logic!

With such a being, unless something unexpected occurred, reaching the levels of Martial King or Martial Emperor was a given… and even the lofty, terrifying, and elusive titles of Martial Saint, Martial Immortal, and potentially even Martial Sovereign were well within the realm of possibility!

Who wouldn’t want to recruit a prodigy of that caliber?

And yet, never in his wildest dreams would Meng Qianzheng have imagined that this genius, who the Five Great Alliances were scouring the world for through every means imaginable, would appear right in front of him!

The shock on Meng Qianzheng’s and Dr. Li’s faces baffled everyone else present.

Many among them had never even touched the Virtual Network before, so they had no idea who or what ‘Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon’ was.

Even those who had some experience with the Virtual Network didn’t recognize the name.

After all, in the Virtual Network, real-world strength couldn’t be carried over.

In that realm, all the abilities that allowed them to fight above their tier were completely nullified!

They were already overwhelmed just trying to survive at the bottom levels—how could they spare the time to learn about some record-shattering elite?

Only Cheng Tianqian and Zhuo Bingyan reacted like Meng Qianzheng and Dr. Li when they heard the name ‘Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon’—their faces instantly changed, staring at Su Xiaobai as if they had seen a ghost.

“You… you’re really Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon?”

Out of professional caution, Dr. Li swallowed hard and carefully confirmed again.

“Yeah, that’s me. Why? Is something wrong?”

Su Xiaobai looked confused.

He had been stuck inside the Illusory Tower the entire time.

His mind had been focused solely on clearing stages, earning cultivation points, and choosing advanced-stage techniques… He had no idea that he had shattered every leaderboard along the way!

And in his mind—

Before the connection was cut, he had only just reached the limit of the Martial God level… In the human base, there were several Martial Commanders who could rival Sub-Kings.

By comparison, he didn’t think he was anything special.

If there was one thing that struck him as odd… it would probably be the flood of emails in his Virtual Network inbox.

Messages poured in non-stop, forcing him to mute all notifications.

But even then, he didn’t expect someone like Meng Qianzheng—a bona fide Martial King—to wear that kind of expression!

“Hahahaha…”

When Su Xiaobai confirmed once again that he was indeed Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon, Meng Qianzheng could no longer contain the immense joy in his heart. He threw his head back and laughed uproariously.

“Lord Su… would you be so kind as to let me examine the card in your hand?”

Dr. Li, now shedding all earlier aloofness, had become incomparably respectful… no longer addressing him as Su Xiaobai, but instead as Lord Su.

Su Xiaobai handed the card directly to Dr. Li.

Dr. Li hurriedly inserted the card into the device—

Then frantically pounded the keyboard.

Moments later, his mouth fell open. Clutching the few hairs still left on his head, he looked on the verge of madness:

“It’s him… it’s really him! He’s Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon!!!”

Dr. Li’s declaration made Meng Qianzheng laugh even louder.

“Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon?!”

“You mean the Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon who smashed all records before the 70th floor?!”

“Oh my god… Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon is human?!”

“….”

The ruckus on Meng Qianzheng and Dr. Li’s side hadn’t initially drawn much attention from those in the control room… but when Dr. Li shouted the name ‘Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon’, everyone rushed over like spectators spotting a celebrity, gasping in astonishment.

“So that’s it… that explains everything…”

“To lose to someone like him… it wasn’t a fluke!”

Cheng Tianqian muttered.

The moment he learned that Su Xiaobai was Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon, all the reluctance in his heart vanished completely.

As the heir to one of the Five Great Families of Base No. 1, he had entered the Virtual Network early and had continuously trained and pushed forward within it… and yet, even now, he had only reached the 54th floor of the Illusory Tower.

54 floors—that meant in the Virtual Network, he could barely go toe-to-toe with an ordinary Martial God.

Because in that realm, he had no divine weapons, none of the techniques he’d cultivated before, and no family resources to support him.

He had to start from absolute zero—cultivating beginner techniques, comprehending advanced methods, and progressing step by painstaking step.

Even a former top Martial Commander on the Golden Ranking could only manage that much… so one could imagine how miserable others had it!

And in that situation, Su Xiaobai had reached the 70th floor on his first attempt, smashing records across the board…

How could Cheng Tianqian not be convinced?

“All right, that’s enough!”

Meng Qianzheng finally stopped laughing, though his lips still curled in delight. “Now that registration is complete, let’s allow them to formally enter the Virtual Network and experience it firsthand!”

“Su Xiaobai, on behalf of Base No. 1, and on behalf of humanity… I warmly welcome your arrival!”

Meng Qianzheng said something that left Su Xiaobai utterly baffled.

“Now, everyone—put on your helmets and insert the cards in your hands!”

“Remember—this is Void Gold, a consumable item and a necessary component for entering the Virtual Network. Within the Vast Domain, you don’t need it—but within the human bases, it plays a critical role!”

“However, it’s only valid for 24 hours, which means you’ll have 24 hours to experience the Virtual Network!”

“Everyone—see you again in 24 hours!”

As Meng Qianzheng spoke, everyone had already donned their helmets and inserted their cards… and just as he finished his final sentence, Dr. Li pressed the activation button.

In the next instant, Su Xiaobai’s consciousness detached—and he once again entered the Virtual Network!

“Welcome, record-holder of the most Illusory Tower floors, ranked number one—‘Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon’ is now online!”

In the bustling, lively Newborn City, the moment this broadcast echoed through the air, the city fell silent for a full second.

A second later—the entire Newborn City exploded into chaos!
