Chapter 47 (2/2)

Wei Huo was speechless since even Transformers[5] appeared now! This was no longer Battle City anymore!

However, level 81 was the last level. There were no further levels after that. Wei Huo finally cleared all the levels!

Wei Huo let out a deep breath when he saw that he cleared all the levels. He wiped the sweat on his forehead. “Phew, that was not easy. This kind of game was a bit too difficult, wasn’t it?”

As Wei Huo stood up, the altar started to emit a faint light. The faint light soon disappeared, and those four statues suddenly started moving. The Azure Dragon stretched its body and caused green trees to appear on its back. The White Tiger roared and its color turned gold. The Vermillion Bird spread its wings as flames started burning on its body. The Black Tortoise stamped on the ground while the attached snake lifted its head, oozing a cold breath.

Although Wei Huo had not read a lot, he knew that the Azure Dragon represented wood, the White Tiger represented metal, the Vermillion Bird represented fire, and the Black Tortoise represented water.

Wei Huo understood the meaning when he saw those Four Symbols transformed. It meant that he had to choose one among the four statues.

If he chose the Azure Dragon, he might be able to increase his lifespan greatly, regain his HP rapidly, and obtain the cultivation skill to control plants. If he chose the White Tiger, he might be able to improve his strength, destructive power, and obtain the cultivation skill to control metal. Choosing the Vermillion Bird meant he could control fire, and choosing the Black Tortoise meant he would be controlling water.

Wei Huo started debating among those four options. ‘I’m suffering from decision paralysis now!’

The four options were very tempting…

However, being Descendants of the Dragon, choosing the Azure Dragon Cultivation Skill would be a better choice. Also, God had added the patch ‘Dragon type monsters added’ a long time ago. In other words, dragon creatures had already existed in this world. The power of dragons was indubitable. Although Wei Huo had yet to come across a real dragon, he thought that it was just a matter of time. He could even cotton up to the dragons if he had chosen the Azure Dragon heritage.

Hence, Wei Huo had decided to choose the Azure Dragon heritage!

An option popped up as Wei Huo walked up to the Azure Dragon statue. ‘Do You Wish To Choose The Longevity Skill?’

Wei Huo was dumbstruck. “???”

‘Why is it Longevity Skill? Wasn’t it supposed to be the Azure Dragon’s heritage?’

Wei Huo walked up to the Vermillion Bird statue and the option turned out to be, ‘Do You Wish To Choose The Fiery Palm?’

The option for the White Tiger was, ‘Do You Wish To Choose The Vajra Body Defending Divine Skill?’

Lastly, the option for the Black Tortoise was, ‘Do You Wish To Choose The Ice Soul Divine Skill?”

Wei Huo was left speechless.

‘I understand now! These statues were just for decoration! Why would the Four Symbols pass down their heritages to a human?’

Wei Huo walked up to the Azure Dragon statue and decided to choose the Longevity Skill. After all, he had not needed other cultivation skills with his current strength and his God of Thunder Skill.

However, longevity was a desire that every creature could not give up. Wei Huo decided to follow his desire and had chosen the Longevity Skill.

Of course, another main reason for choosing the skill was because there were still many caves in the world. Only with sufficiently long lifespan could he search for more caves. Under the circumstances that he could only choose one from the four options, it was better to choose the Longevity Skill.

When Wei Huo had chosen Longevity Skill, another option popped up before his eyes. ‘This site is a cultivation resources spot that will boost the Player’s cultivation speed by 15%. However, it would cost 30 Magical Stones per day as rental fee. The Player can only cultivate at this site for 3,650 days.”

Wei Huo’e eyes shone brightly but he frowned after a few moments. ‘3,650 days is equivalent to 10 years. I will not misspend these 10 years!’
