Chapter 314 - Iron Blood Octopus (1/2)
It took Fang Ning some time to recover from his disappointment. He thought to himself, ‘Forget it, since I can’t be the Great Emperor, I’ll continue being a multimillionaire for life…
Oh, it seems like I can’t laze around anymore or I won’t even know if I can go online next year, I’ll have to start working immediately.’
As Fang Ning thought so, he checked the System Notification for the past few days.
After all, if he wanted to do anything good, he needed to know himself as well as the enemy.
The utmost priority was naturally to check on the Bodhi Sutra.
Regarding this ability, he used to think that it was just used to avoid evil.
He did not think that Sir, being a gifted learner in fights, had such a great comprehension of it. The greatness of the effect that resulted from what it unleashed was far beyond his imagination.
System Notification: [The System consumed three billion Experience points and highly elevated the correspondence between itself and the Buddhism Ability]
[Met the learning requirements for Bodhi Sutra the Trueness Cultivation Tome. Note: The System has already discovered the perfect supreme edition Bodhi Tactic, also known as Bodhi Sutra.]
[The System consumed a total of fifty-four billion experience points and promoted Bodhi Sutra to Legendary Level.]
[Complete Bodhi Sutra learned, the System gained skills as below:]
[One, Special Cultivation Realm ‘Buddha Transformation’. When activated, it will gain a bonus majestic aura of the “True Buddha”.]
[Second, Legendary Level Verbal Ability “Fire and Brimstone”. Able to change an opponent’s alignment, affected by the opponent’s will and thinking. Derivative Ability: Tame revenants and communicate with foreign intelligent beings.]
[Third, Rejuvenation Technique. Relieves various negative statuses such as severe injuries, near-death situations and poisoning. Effect multiplied when used together with Legendary Treasure “Poison Prevention Orb”.]
[Fourth, Beginner-level Life Restoration. Within 24 hours, revenants of dead beings can be summoned back, with a small probability of a successful revival. Each usage has a consumption basis of ten million experience points. The higher the strength of the being, the more experience points consumed; the higher the consumption of experience points, the higher the probability of success.]
Fang Ning was entirely speechless from reading, the other skills were amazing, only the last one while it was truly defying nature, it was reminiscent of free local games.
It was just like somebody pointing at him and said,
“Next time, don’t ask me why the revival is unsuccessful, ask yourself first how much points you’ve gained…”
For the remaining notifications regarding the battle process such as killing the Hydra Demon, Fang Ning had read too much of those. Hence, he just briefly read through them then quietly went on his path to search for the true person to hold up the sky.
Although it was a serious matter, he needed to do it secretly without being noticed by some idiot, he had fooled it once again…
Fang Ning teleported into the Draconic Arcane Realm to look for the group of Whitestone people.
…
The main characters on the battlefield left one after another. Misha the Spirit Bear looked high-spirited, showing no signs of being defeated at all, it took big strides towards the Arctic.
Seryozha was immensely worried about his partner’s situation, he could not help but ask, “Misha, the fellow trash talked you just now. We can’t listen to him though we shouldn’t fight him now.
“About the matter of holding the sky, we’ll have to discuss with Lord Knight Ivan and Chief High Priest Bathurst.”
Misha turned a deaf ear without replying, it only held its head high and continued running non-stop as it stepped on four little clouds up above the sky.
A brief moment later, Seryozha noticed that his partner was running in the wrong direction, he immediately stopped him. “You’re running in the wrong direction, we should be returning to Petersburg which is in the southwest direction, not directly south.”
Misha shook its head and said, “No, I want to return to the arctic glaciers to continue cultivating diligently. A year later, I’ll go hold up the sky!”
Seryozha wanted to cry but had no tears, he very much wanted to say, ‘Go hold the sky as much as you want, but please don’t bring me along!’
Nonetheless, he could not say that because once he did, the friendship between the two of them would end and he could no longer summon Misha to possess him!
When that happened, he would be just a normal Russian man. Perhaps he could still gain some honorable positions by being an extraordinaire, but it would be nothing compared to his situation now no matter what.
Currently, even though there were quite a number of people who were secretly mocking him, his position was still unshaken. It was just like how many people were rebuking America’s president, the president was still the president…
He had already foreseen his miserable fate, whereby he would be hanging lonely between heaven and earth…
It was possible that many people would pay him respect, but whether it was his girlfriend or his close friends in the past, it was impossible for him to be connected with them in any way.
Misha could hibernate and could very well sleep for over ten years such that the sky would possibly be stable then, but he needed to be imprisoned a long time for that…
He thought to himself, ‘If God gives me a second chance, I will definitely not challenge Vigilante A again…
‘I knew that his martial art is unparalleled in the world, but I didn’t think that his trash talk skill can even make one go mad…’
There was another fellow who was as devastated as Seryozha, and that was Sir Tom the black cat who was angrily cleaning up the Altar of Death…
“Damn it, is Vigilante A letting go of that white bear because he’s incapable of beating it, or is it truly because of its righteousness in wanting to hold up the sky?
“These don’t matter anyway, it better not be because this fellow has changed his character such that he wants to learn from the group of Buddhist monks to educate his opponents at every turn. If that’s the case, won’t Sir Tom have to worry about wasting time being busy every time?”
While Tom the black cat complained, it pulled out Death’s wolf-man statue from the altar, then tossed it into the Space Ring.
It was an unintentional act due to its upset feeling, but it was noticed by its loyal servant, Old Man Huang Rui.
The old man thought to himself that in the past, Tom the black cat had been respectful towards Death.
Even if the worship ceremony failed, it would not have done such a thing. Could it be that it was actually rebelling already?
If this was the case, perhaps he could collude with Death?
Tom did not notice the thoughts of its own loyal servant, it turned its eyes and said to Old Man Huang Rui, “This won’t do, Vigilante A might often be unreliable in the future, think of a backup plan for me in advance.”
That was right, Sir Tom had always been careful with its plans by taking every possibility into account.
In case Vigilante A wanted to become a monk, it had to look for a new express delivery target in beforehand…
Huang Rui quite admired this, Tom the black cat had always planned ahead and considered many things.
After he thought for some time, he said, “The last time we chased kelp demons away on the ocean, we met the twelve-limbed octopus. I can tell that it has incredible potential, plus it has twelve limbs, so it’ll be very useful in the future.
“I even heard that each octopus limb has its own independent thinking ability, if this octopus advances to its final stage, one demon can go against twelve.”
Tom the black cat was enlightened by the idea, it considered about it “This scheme is not bad, I’ll personally make a move this time, you may return home first. Get some good rest these few days, I’ll ask Maggie to look for a few senior monks to assess the demonic energy issue.”
Huang Rui was not bothered at all, though he nodded and agreed with it, it was silently cursing at it for it was even calling Vigilante A a Buddhist monk just now…
‘Sure enough, Tom is not a cat that attaches great importance to comradeship, it only thinks that I’m useful. By the looks of it, I won’t have any moral burdens if I betray it…’
Tom the black cat was exceptionally impatient, after it cleaned up the Altar of Death, it hurried away and leapt through space.
