On top of a mountain in Spirit Valley, covered in mist. This was where Qi Mei had fallen once upon a time.
Today was the Third Year and Fifth Month of Shenyuan. Her brother-in-law was facing the same opponent at the very same location.
A commotion of this level had, of course, created a disturbance at the Association of Spirit Kings.
“Sigh, we had just witnessed the fall of Azure Mountain’s direct disciple. Today, we have to witness another one,” the senile Elder Da of the association sighed at the skies while shaking his head.
It had only been a short year but he had grown so much older for some reason.
This could be the side effects of having a spirit object as a companion. Spirits and humans should not belong together. One would be exposed to Yin Energy when dealing with spiritual objects.
All living creatures would need the balance of Yin and Yang to live with vigor.
But he still had high-spirits and was energetic enough to watch the battle. However, he was no longer willing to move his muscles for a closer view.
He turned towards the three young men following him and said, “Lu Er, you are quick with your feet. Go ahead to check out the situation and report back to me when you can.”
Lu Er nodded and with a slight move of his feet, disappeared into the air. He was next seen appearing high in the air.
“Wow, Second Brother’s Divine Walk has attained such high level. He no longer needs to worry about being jobless. He can deliver packages and food professionally.” Niu Si was envious.
“Just look at yourself. Can’t you be a little more ambitious?” Ma Da was exasperated that Niu Si was not living up to expectations.
“What do you have in mind, Big Brother?” Niu Si asked earnestly.
“Hmm, collecting protection money from the sky… No, no, better if he starts up a Sky Insurance.” Ma Da changed his statement mid-sentence as he felt a chill at the first suggestion.
“I understood the first part but what is ‘Sky Insurance’?” Niu Si was confused.
“Oh, that would be for the airplanes. Before they take off, they would need to pay us to guarantee their safety. Imagine Lu Er speeding through the skies when suddenly a plane falls and he stops the fall right in time, saving everybody,” Ma Da explained in all seriousness, feeling more and more confident about this money-making plan.
“Big Brother is indeed wise but if Second Brother is working on this, then what we supposed to work on?” Niu Si continued asking.
Ma Da looked condescendingly at this little brother and replied, “Simple. We help him collect the money and give him encouragement and support…”
“You are right, Big Brother. When do we start?” Niu Si was nearly salivating.
“We’ll wait until Lu Er returns from watching the battle. After that, we will start with the planning. This fellow is really stupid. He has already cultivated to this level and yet still acts like a poor person. He can’t even afford a proper Valentine’s Day gift. If I had that kind of ability, we would be having a feast,” Ma Da said regretfully.
“Yes, you are right. Second Brother is always daydreaming and doesn’t interact with us. One really is not able to tell he has great ability,” Niu Si replied.
…
Far above in the skies, Lu Er was watching the battle with trepidation.
It was the first time he was watching a battle between two Powerhouses at such a close distance, wondering how this fight of such a magnificent scale would unfold.
Both had said what they needed to, which was why the battle had already started when Lu Er arrived.
Four True Dragons were dancing in the skies, circling a green mountain that had appeared out of nowhere and making their attack.
There was fire-breathing, there was lightning and at times, there was also a billowing storm and a snow storm.
The green mountain stood its ground despite facing all these elements. It was making a statement. Let him show his strength, it will just be a breeze to this mountain.
Lu Er realized the situation was locked in a tie.
One was attacking while the other was defending. These enemies were evenly matched, it was hard to tell who was winning or losing.
‘Even someone as strong as the Venerable Dragon God is unable to do anything to this person. Looks like this is a somebody from Azure Mountain, unlike that stupid girl who was here the last time,’ Lu Er thought to himself and later sent the information down to Elder Da.
His guess was not wrong. Shang Ruoyu was known as Number Two on Azure Mountain.
Unlike those from the Upper Realm, one would face different limitations on Earth. He was a local…
It was best not to take locals lightly. Local mortals were considered to be insignificant and were always looked upon with contempt, even to the point of having their existence suppressed. Local Powerhouses, however, were a different matter.
They were previously a rare breed of leaders. Naturally, this made them the favorite of the Heavenly Axiom and were
given many conveniences.
“This stance does not look anything like a Lake-level Powerhouse. Could this be the legendary Inland-Sea Level Powerhouse?” Lu Er immediately delivered his suspicion over to Elder Da.
As the sea and mountain faced each other, it was apparent that this green mountain would not necessarily lose to this vast sea.
…
“Mr. Rich Boss, this guy is so hard to take down. I need the help of your Double Divine Broken Monuments…” said Sir gloomily.
“Oh, helping is not a problem. Aren’t you an Inland-Sea Level System? How come you can’t defeat an opponent of the same level?” Fang Ning was throwing his weight around.
It was not often that Sir would ask for his help, he had to take the opportunity to put on some air.
“Do you know history? Are you aware of World War I?” Sir seemed to be changing the topic.
“Of course I know about it. I had a perfect score for History. Wasn’t World War I known for one of the biggest body counts in history? Both sides were hiding in the pits like they were in a competition, whoever attacked was at a disadvantage…” Fang Ning was speechless.
“Exactly. This is the same awkward position that we Inland-Sea Levels are in. The stronger the defense, the weaker the attack,” explained Sir.
“Oh, so this is like your kryptonite. You won’t be able to stir the hearts of the people nor crush the enemy,” Fang Ning nodded.
“Yes, Mr. Rich Boss. Hurry up and get that torn-up book back to search for experience. I need to upgrade any technique to Mythical-grade. Then, I’d able to easily move that mountain like shaking a tree.” Sir boasted.
“Oh, to that extent? You haven’t been this honest for a long time, I don’t think it’s necessarily an emergency.” Fang Ning summoned the green-skinned frog and the macaw while shaking his head.
“When have I ever lied to you? I’ve always been an honest System,” Sir replied with chagrin.
“Brother Frog, Little Brother Parrot, can you do me a favor and please help out this True Dragon,” Fang Ning requested politely.
“Since Big Brother has made the request, we’ll help out even though we’re reluctant. After all, it had tortured us quite many times.” green-skinned frog jumped about while replying
“Brother Frog is indeed righteous. I’ll make you guys a good meal when you return,” Fang Ning said gratefully.
“Speaking of a meal, I’ve just thought of that big green insect. It looked fat and juicy…” green-skinned frog was salivating.
“Oh no, Brother Frog. It’s not wise for speaking creatures to devour each other, it is after all too cruel an act. It is able to speak, so it’s best not to target it.” Fang Ning explained.
“Oh, in that case, it’s okay. It was just a casual statement. I won’t eat these living spirits. We are the Heavenly Axiom Treasures, we feed on weed and drink on dew. We do not consume the food of mortals.” said the embarrassed green-skinned frog.
“That’s good. Why don’t I get you the Dragon Clan Honey-flavored Pill instead…”
“Mr. Multi-Millionaire Host, are you done? If you were the one in this battle, you would have been beaten by the enemy…” Sir interrupted Fang Ning’s promise.
“Um, don’t you see that I am helping you boost morale? Shouldn’t you be promising some reward for your soldiers before leaving for battle?” Fang Ning said indignantly.
“They are treasures. They don’t need any promise of reward as long as they are useful…” Sir said condescendingly.
“You’re really terrible. There’s a huge difference with us choosing to be assertive or non-assertive…” croaked the green-skinned frog angrily.
“Oh, is that so? If you help me beat that stupid mountain, I’ll give each of you a Dragon Clan Honey-flavored Pill.” Sir immediately tried to win them over.
“Hmph, that’s better. Come on, Number Two, let’s show this stupid dragon what we are capable of.”
“Okay, Big Brother. We, the Double Divine Monuments, have yet to showcase our true power. This time, we’ll scare off his dragon teeth and blind his dragon eye with what we can do,” said the macaw menacingly as it spread out its red wings.
