--- Chapter 263 ---

[Name: The Child of Destiny(Passive)]

[Effect: A miracle will happen randomly around you, and fate will favor you from now on]

"..." Yunlong.

[...]

"What a bullshit." Yunlong couldn't help but be annoyed at his new title.

"Seriously, Don't lump the responsibility on me! What a damned fate."

He grumbled for a moment and shouted, "Fuck your favor! I don't need it."

As Yunlong instinctively swore in English for no reason, no one understood what he was talking about, though they were sure he was mad over something.

"Neo, can I delete this title?" Yunlong asked immediately.

[No, Host]

[We can discuss that further later, you might want to focus more on your quest]

"Tch." Yunlong clicked his tongue.

He looked at the timer and saw the god-slaying was about to drop in a minute.

Yunlong sighed and glanced over at people, who looked at him in awe and fear. Yu Xiaogang particularly caught his attention rather quickly.

'Is he gonna kill me next?!' Yu Xiaogang's heart skipped a beat for a moment.

Even if Yunlong casually stared at him, it was enough to induce extreme fear in him. He had witnessed two of his disciples murdered by this monster.

"Mom, Renxue, protect them," Yunlong stated, causing Yu Xiaogang to release a sigh of relief.

"I'll release some of my stress on something." He gently smiled at Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, who clearly felt his annoyance.

'Why did he get so annoyed?' Qian Renxue pondered while activating her domain, surrounding everyone in golden brilliance.

"Be careful." Bibi Dong smiled back at Yunlong.

The entire spirit hall looked at Yunlong, who unfurled beautiful angel wings. He ignored all of them and flew to the sky, leaving a trail of silver light.

"Beautiful." Liu Erlong sensually licked her lips and placed a hand on her burning chest.

Gu Yuena is confident Yunlong could stop the incoming attack.

Even though the god-slaying weapon is quite powerful and comparable to a third-class god's strength, it doesn't have the presence of a god itself.

"Mortal Human is still far away to replicate a higher-dimensional power." Gu Yuena sternly commented.

She admitted the human who created this weapon was admirable, but their enemy is Yunlong.

"H-Hmph, do you need this lady's help?" She asked sheepishly.

"No." Yunlong directly replied with a telepathic message.

Gu Yuena pouted and crossed her arms below her abundance bosom.

"How dare you be cold to your teacher!" She complained.

Yunlong chuckled inside because Gu Yuena made him feel better. He's still mad about the new title, though.

Without further ado [Longinus], that unknown person mentioned appeared in the night sky.

It's a giant spear around 1km long with a gleaming white spearhead.

"W-What is that!" An audience shouted while pointing at the god-slaying weapon.

"We are doomed... Can we survive that..."

"Wait, the holy son, just fly to the sky!" A random fangirl shouted in horror.

"Kyaaa, holy son, please don't go there!"

"You could die!"

Qian Renxue's mouth twitched, and she pointed her finger at the random fangirl.

She asked Bibi Dong, "What's that?"

Bibi Dong giggled and naturally responded, "Well, they are Yunlong's fans, a little bit excessive, but I quite like them."

"What do you mean by a little bit excessive..." Qian Renxue's expression became grim.

"Fufu~, who knows." Bibi Dong playfully swayed her head away.

Yunlong's heavenly ruler was deactivated because he used too much spiritual energy. He used Heavenly eyes immediately to find Longinus's weakness.

Even if it was small, there must be a weakness in this god-slaying weapon. Not to mention the very familiar name, Yunlong wasn't even scared to stop this weapon.

[Anti-Divine attribute detected]

[A small amount of anti-divine energy contained within [Longinus], I recommended you to disperse the energy with something first]

"Something?" Yunlong tilted his head in confusion.

Thump!

He felt his heartbeat increase quickly, and a notification appeared.

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony, bark its fangs against anti-divine energy]

"Gluttony." Yunlong's eyes shone in crimson light, and a familiar never-ending hunger swayed his mind.

He abruptly was possessed by something, and a grin appeared on his face.

A series of spirit rings appeared, causing black and red light to illuminate the entire night sky.

[Mortal sin: Gluttony, Feast!]

Yunlong's spirit rings merged into one, and an abnormally enormous gold-red spirit ring outshined the moon.

"T-That can be." Gu Yuena stepped back in shock. A presence she was familiar with, a god.

"Devour." Yunlong's voice echoed.

A dark jaw stretched from Yunlong's back and instantly covered Longinus. With a swift motion, the jaw closed.

Chomp!

"In an instant, a one-kilometer spear was bitten to nothing." Gu Yuena shuddered for some reason.

She was supposed to be the silver dragon king, but why does she feel frightened now?

[...]

Neo protected Yunlong's soul away from harm and saw a shadowy creature with jaws approaching.

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony]

[?]

[Zzz...]

The creature fell asleep beside Yunlong's soul and ignored Neo.

Yunlong slowly opened his eyes and felt himself free-falling from the sky because he seemed to doze for a moment.

"What happened?" He noticed the god-slaying weapon disappeared.

A second later, Neo's monotonous voice surprised him.

[You have finished three quests]

[Calculating rewards...]

[...]

[You have obtained 1M System Points, An Advance Summoning Circle 1x, and 4th Dimensional upgrade token 1x]

Yunlong rotated his body slightly and watched the system panel with a baffled expression.

"Huh?"

Bam!

He landed on the ground safely and created a deep crack, which spread a few feet away.

Everyone looked at him with a weird look but nonetheless filled with awe. The holy son stopped a giant-looking spear in an instant.

He doesn't even sweat a little, proving his absurd ability more.

Bibi Dong, Gu Yuena, Qian Renxue, and Kaguya hugged him from four sides. They checked his condition to see whether he was okay or not.

They released a sigh of relief simultaneously and looked at each other with an awkward gaze.

The audience is obviously jealous, female envy because those four women could hug the holy son, while the male audience is jealous over Yunlong, who got embraced by four goddesses.

Yunlong smiled wryly and responded, "I'm fine."

Gu Yuena swung her head away and replied, "Then, it's good."

Kaguya nodded in agreement, while Qian Renxue quickly kissed Yunlong.

"Wha-! What are you doing!"

"I'm giving Yunlong a kiss~, or maybe you dumb to understand this?" Qian Renxue bravely plunged her tongue, leaving the silver dragon king speechless.

Yunlong took the lead and pushed Qian Renxue's tongue further, making Qian Renxue breathe roughly.

"S-So lewd." Unexpected words came out of Chu Xiaoyu's mouth.

Usually, she would put on a poker face, but Qian Renxue was shameless enough to do such a thing in public.

"Xiaoyu, have you kissed Yunlong before?" Zhu Zhuqing whispered.

Chu Xiaoyu nodded without saying anything, but a beautiful smile formed on her cold face.

'I need to be braver.' Zhu Zhuqing clenched her fist.

Kaguya sensed a random beat in her heart, knowing nothing about this sensation, but she was sure she felt annoyed.

"Done." Yunlong released Qian Renxue, who fell to the ground with weak knees.

"Now, let's deal with these people." He moved his gaze to Yu Xiaogang.

Yunlong walked toward Yu Xiaogang and threw a sword onto the ground. "Pick that up, fight me." He said.

"What do you want from me? You should know that I can't win against you..." Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth.

"So?" Yunlong returned indifferently.

"I'm giving you a chance."

"Yu Xiaogang, The Grandmaster."

"Do you know what's your fault?"

"First is stealing the spirit hall's information in disguise of research."

"Second is manipulating the supreme pontiff in the past for your personal greed."

BAM!

"I never manipulate-." Yu Xiaogang replied but received Yunlong's kick instead.

"Shut up." Yunlong coldly looked at him.

"Third is disclosing Douluo Continent's information to an outsider."

Cough!

Yu Xiaogang coughed and fell onto the ground with a painful expression.

When Yunlong nullified some spies sent by some factions, he received information. The wandering merchant's source of information firstly came from a person renowned as the grandmaster.

As a person with incredible knowledge of the Douluo Continent, a disguised spy quickly was sent to become close with him.

The woman that Liu Erlong saw in the past was actually a spy from the Sun and Moon continent. She extracted necessary information from Yu Xiaogang and seduced him.

It was Yu Xiaogang who connected the merchant with the Seven Treasure Clan. Without him, they won't have the bravery to attack the spirit hall.

"Don't act dumb in front of me." Yunlong kicked the sword to Yu Xiaogang.

"Pick the sword and fight me."

Yu Xiaogang weirdly picked the sword, and his posture wasn't even correct. He gripped the handle tightly and firmly looked at Yunlong.

"If you landed a strike on me. I'll let you live," Yunlong stated.

"Wait!" Flander suddenly stood between Yu Xiaogang and Yunlong.

He solemnly looked at Yunlong and continued, "Can I exchange myself with him."

"Admirable but stupid move," Yunlong commented while slapping Flander away.

"Don't waste your life for him, Flander." Liu Erlong said while letting out a yawn. "You're a wise man. Do you think the kids you raised will be happy about your actions?"

"Ah..." Flander moved his gaze to Ma Xiaotao and saw her release a terrifying flame.

Yunlong put his hands inside his pocket and said, "I won't use any of my skill, so you can freely attack me."

"Hiyaaaaa!!!!" Yu Xiaogang lunged forward.

He slashed vertically and realized Yunlong sighed in a disappointed manner.

"Weak." Yunlong kicked the sword.

CLANK!

"Arghhh!" Yu Xiaogang's hand reddened because of the impact.

"Grandmaster, have you ever tried to overcome your wasted martial soul?"

"Have you ever tried to master a weapon or martial art?"

"I guess not?" Yunlong looked at Yu Xiaogang's pale face.

"Talent is one thing, but what about your effort?"

"A farmer walked out every morning to work, you know why?"

"Hungry is the answer."

"The farmer is hungry, and even if the land is dry, he would still search for food. He needs to feed his family."

"Hungry for food."

"Hungry for power."

"Hungry for everything."

"How many years have you wasted?" Yunlong asked.

"WHERE IS THE RESULT?"

"WHAT'S YOUR THEORY USED FOR? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!"

"YOU WON'T UNDERSTAND!" Yu Xiaogang hatefully shouted.

"YOU WERE BORN WITH TALENT!"

"DO YOU THINK A NORMAL SPIRIT MASTER COULD BE STRONG AS YOU?!"

"They can," Yunlong answered.

A white handkerchief floated above Yunlong's palm, making Ma Xiaotao's eyes widen in surprise.

"He's Batman..." Ma Xiaotao's rosy lip opened slightly.

Yunlong sneered and added, "You should have remembered these words, right?"

"There is no waste martial soul, only waste spirit master."

"What are you, Yu Xiaogang..??"

"A trash."

"A trash, who never brings out their blood and tears to limits."

Yunlong's eyes became eternal mangekyou sharingan, and he whispered, "Tsukuyomi."

Yu Xiaogang fell into an illusion, but he woke up inside a bright room as if everything was a dream.

He looked around and saw Yunlong with a sword in his hand. He tried to run away, but Yunlong had already slashed him in half.

"ARGH!"

He woke up again.

"A second has passed." Yunlong slashed him again.

Yu Xiaogang woke up again.

"Two seconds have passed."

Slash!

"Three seconds."

Slash!

"Four..."

.

"Five."

.

"Six."

.

Yu Xiaogang lost his life several times, but he kept getting this same nightmare and felt great pain.

"How many times have I died..." Yu Xiaogang cried in despair.

"Sixty Nine..."

"ARRRGGGHHH!"

Every time Yu Xiaogang woke up, a sword would have cut him in an instant and caused great pain for him.

He couldn't even fight because he was weak. Without an ounce of power, how could a waste like him counter Yunlong's sword?

"A day, no two? Maybe three?" Yu Xiaogang's eyes have lost their clarity.

In real life, Yu Xiaogang unnaturally was resting on the ground with a lifeless expression. A week has passed, and this time, the spirit beast, monster, ghost, and several dangerous creatures swallowed him alive.

So many deaths, but he couldn't do anything.

[You have killed a spirit grandmaster...]

[...]

[...]

"Yunlong, stop." Bibi Dong suddenly hugged him from behind.

"He's dead already..." She looked at Yu Xiaogang, who had died because of his mind broken to pieces.

"Phew..." Yunlong sighed and opened his eyes slowly.

He looked at everyone in the arena and saw them kneeling in front of him. Even people from Shrek bowed in fear.

They nervously breathed and said at the same time.

"WE SURRENDER TO THE GREAT HOLY SON OF THE SPIRIT HALL!"
