Chapter 236 - Heavenly Karma (1/2)
Two hours later, three hundred miles away from Cloud Fog City, was a wide opened grass field without any signs of life.
Among the grass was some white bones that had been corroded by time, and lost its shape, so it was hard to tell if the bones belonged to a human, a wolf, or sheep.
In the era with thick vitality, one could softly hear the voices of the dead while walking on the field.
Multiple observation units had already reached the area.
On the East was the Chinese Observation Group. There were twelve of them, two of them Pond-level while the rest Basin-level.
The European Observation Group were on the West with thirty-two people. There were three Pond-level powerhouses accompanied by others at Bucket-level or better.
To the South was the English and American United Observation Group. There were eighteen of them, with two at Pond-level and the rest were Bucket-level.
That’s right, England never enjoyed sitting near its neighboring countries.
The South Western side was occupied by observation groups from multiple countries, led by India. India was highly populated and thus sent out the most amount of people, around hundreds of them.
Among them, the weakest members were Bucket-level, with six Pond-level powerhouses.
No one was standing on the North side as everyone was afraid that they might be killed when the spirit bear rushed from that direction…
According to the observation of the satellite, that Russian spirit bear was dashing in a straight line from the North without taking any turns, stomping on multiple rare and protected animals and plants.
Everyone was nervous and eagerly waiting for the two to clash.
This would be the fight between the two strongest powerhouses allowed in the current rules.
Especially when one of them was a summoned totem, which was a trump card for multiple larger countries.
So many people came from thousands of kilometers away not to support Vigilante A, but because they wanted to have an idea whether this summoned totem had the ability to suppress top-ranked powerhouses.
In the Chinese Observation Group at the East.
Someone asked, “They never agreed on a specific location for their battle, but why did everyone decide to gather here and wait?”
Ren Ruofeng laughed but refused to answer. He looked around trying to figure out who had the wisdom to answer the question.
Xue Feng raised his hands and replied, “The Russian spirit bear is moving towards Cloud Fog City in a straight line. The Venerable Dragon One is a righteous person and would never harm innocents in his battles. This place is the final location that will not affect the Cloud Fog City if they fight here. Everyone understood that and chose to come here early to wait. The battle would be anywhere from here to somewhere up north. Once they started their battle, everyone would move towards them naturally.”
What he said made sense and didn’t justify the comment “zero IQ and EQ” that he received.
The others agreed with what he said. After just a few days of not meeting him, Xue Feng had already improved not just in his technique, but also his intelligence, and everyone was surprised by his reasonable analysis.
Qiao Zijiang rolled her eyes as she heard him and said with disdain, “A bunch of idiots. All you guys know is analytics, why don’t you all just look up to the sky?”
Everyone was confused and lifted their heads to look above and realized what she meant. Those Pond-level powerhouses wouldn’t choose this place as their observation ground randomly without any clue.
The sky was blue and clear with clouds all over. Some people with good eyesight managed to see a little green dragon tail exposed beneath a piece of cloud…
“The Venerable one is really wise and master of all combat tactics. He already decided to wait for the spirit bear instead of wasting his energy looking for it. Seems like he is confident with his ability and must be certain he has a great chance of fighting against it,” Xue Feng failed to act wise but he didn’t feel ashamed. Instead, he immediately started praising the Venerable One.
He received a huge favor from Sir System prior to that…
The Bodhisattva Spirit King’s magical energy seed greatly benefitted him. He reached the peak of Basin-level and could easily step into the next level, so of course, he needed to praise Vigilante A.
The others nodded in agreement, and why shouldn’t they? One was dashing all the way over while the other one was resting and regathering his energy. The advantage was clear to everyone.
Xu Rui looked bad because he realized that his hypothesis on the plane was completely refuted. Vigilante A had been waiting for the opponent and yet he said that he might be afraid of that spirit bear. He felt that what he said made him a fool.
He continued and slowly said, “He surely can come out victorious in the battle because he is very skillful and resourceful, but at the expenses of some risks that he might need to take. That spirit bear is the summoned totem from a country. Even though it cannot match our country’s totem, it still has its own special parts being the first ever summoned totem in the world.”
He wouldn’t make himself look like a person with no class by looking down on Vigilante A at that moment…
However, he was a person full of pride and didn’t want to praise him like the others were doing.
The Qiao family were the dragon supporters in the Truth Department, and Xue Feng had been tutored by them. These people would naturally try their best to protect the Venerable Dragon God regardless of who his opponent was.
There was nothing wrong for them to do that, but Xu Rui wanted to be different than the rest and decided to say something else that differed from the norm.
The others head him and started thinking. They realized what he had his own reason. Although Xu Rui was always full of pride and looked down on others, he was being fair in his judgment.
Qiao Zijiang pouted. She sensed that the things Xu Rui said were not because he was trying to be fair, but because he didn’t like to admit that there was someone out there stronger than him.
That was the same as how he usually treated his elder brother.
Soon he would realize that he couldn’t even match the dog owned by the Venerable Dragon God…
At least his elder brother was at the same level as the black dog…
At that moment, the other observation groups were also having their own discussion. A few of them also started to gamble and bet a large amount on who would win the fight.
“I bet the Eastern Dragon God will win. He is so strong that the organizer of the Dark Tournament no longer dares to invite him! Who else has managed to do that?”
“Not necessarily,” An old priest with white hair and beard in the European Observation Group shook his head and said, “The totem is created through the cumulative spiritual energy of millions of people, and has unmeasurable power. That Russian spirit bear is already so strong, and now they are fighting in, technically, the land of Russia, which is its home ground. It can continue to absorb energy, like how Antaeus the Giant was standing on his mother, Gaia. Will you still jump to that conclusion with these two factors?”
The old priest was experienced and had been involved in God-related work for ten plus years, yet he never blindly depended on God. Instead, he always tried to analyze and research things through science.
He truly understood that the most powerful traits of the summoned totem were that, for the sake of its citizens, it would fight with honor and die in glory, and it would wear its battle scars like medals.
Compared to those Gods that lived high above enjoying the worship of the humans while sending disaster to “test” the humans when they were angry, it was different.
He loved the originality of the summoned totem more than those humanized by God.
Everyone was agreeing with him when the old priest gave his analysis.
“What Master Blaise said is correct as well. The Russian spirit bear does have a bigger advantage compared to the Eastern Dragon God.”
“Who is Blaise? Is he famous? Is he related to Bryant?”
“You never heard of Master Blaise? He received his Ph.D. in Religion Studies from Cambridge University and had been researching on the theory of Godhood since he was 15. He had been involved in such research for over 50 years, and summoned totem is one of the results on the path of Godhood.”
“I see, looks like the Eastern Dragon God might not be a match against the Russian totem.”
“That is also a good thing actually. Those descendants from the upper realm never took us, humans, seriously. They would just descend whenever they want and take your body whenever they please. This is the time we show them our true power.”
“Don’t paint everyone with the same brush. This Dragon God is different. Its responsibility was to help us remove the criminals and evil beings, and it is different compared to those descendants that suppress the weak. Besides, there are a lot more criminals among us,” Someone said angrily.
He must be someone that benefitted indirectly from the actions of the Vigilante A, but Sir System had no idea about that…
On top of the cloud laid a green dragon.
“That stupid bear is still running? Why is it so slow?” Fang Ning sat in the prison with Anderson and was chit chatting.
Anderson replied, “Sorry sir, I haven’t done much research on these totems. I don’t have any samples for that kind of work. If the Venerable one can capture it, maybe then I can tell you why it was running so slowly.”
