Chapter 644: Intimidate the Crowd
“Whoosh!”
Meng Chao held the saber horizontally, and his blood vessels expanded. His spirit tattoos appeared, and he drew the saber.
The crowd felt their vision blur. It was as if a raging, golden aquatic dragon had been drawn.
Golden Tooth Saber’s core was an Apocalyptic Beast’s horn. It also had more than one hundred metals and crystals unique to the Other World.
Its greatest characteristic was that once spirit energy of a certain frequency was put in, it would resonate with the atomic electron shell of the saber and release a dazzling light.
That light was equivalent to the sun at noon. It was brighter than a high-power searchlight, and it could dazzle all enemies’ eyes.
Saber Jin Wanhao had often used this weapon to blind the enemies, then, at lightning speed, kill them with Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash.
Such a method was simple and brutish, but even after it was used for decades, it still worked.
Naturally, only Jin Wanhao knew the characteristics of the one hundred or so materials used to form Golden Tooth Saber. If he did not personally tell someone, no one would know what frequency their spirit energy should make for the weapon to shine at its brightest.
At that moment, Golden Tooth Saber was like a ball of burning flames in Meng Chao’s hands. Golden flames gushed out in varying degrees of height, causing others to be unable to see the blades outline and brilliance clearly.
It was obvious that he had gained Jin Wanhao’s teachings.
The crowd believed him even more now.
And when they saw how relaxed Meng Chao was, their trust in him grew.
But Meng Chao’s performance had yet to end.
He tightened his hold on Golden Tooth Saber and brought it up high. Then, he widened his eyes and roared.
The hellish flames had already been like tidal waves, but now, they gushed out like a volcano eruption and swept through the entire hall.
His ability to produce this was of no surprise, considering the fact that he had injected a lot of the spirit energy given to him by Hell’s Blood into it.
The powerful fighters from the gangs smelled a thick, bloody scent.
Their eyes stung, and they started seeing things. The entire hall seemed to be covered by a sea of blood.
The invasive bloody flames wanted to seep into their bones through their pores and orifices.
Quite a number of weak third-class gang leaders grunted. Their expressions were full of pain and alarm, and they instinctively took a few steps back to stay far away from Phantom Bear Xiong Wei.
“W-What an amazing aura! It’s like he’s the only survivor from a mountain of corpses or a demon who escaped from the apocalypse!”
“That’s impossible! I just met Meng Chao yesterday, and he wasn’t like this at that time. What exactly happened to him within these short twenty-four hours?”
“Meng Chao’s spirit energy is still increasing! What does he want to do?!”
“H-He’s forcibly activating his spirit energy and sending it into Golden Tooth Saber so that he can unlock its second form!”
Some of the powerful fighters understood Meng Chao’s intentions, and all of them were shocked.
Most weapons had shape memory alloys, overlapping molecules, the ability to interchange mass and energy, and other characteristics, so they did not have just one form.
Meng Chao’s Bloody Soul had two forms—the heavy form and super heavy form.
The Underground Emperor’s signature weapon had three forms.
However, it was not an easy task to completely master such a weapon and activate its second or third form.
A seven-year-old child was already playing with fire if they brandished a saber weighing dozens of kilograms. If they were careless, they might end up suffering a backlash.
If the saber had several blades smelted into it, was connected to two longspears, and even had a morningstar attached to it, the seven-year-old child would either be unable to brandish it, or would die the moment they managed to swing it.
When Meng Chao and Lu Siya planned to expose Red Brows Su Lun, they wanted to make Su Lun use a weapon that he should be unable to use, but Su Lun did not fall for it.
And based on what the people knew, only Saber Jin Wanhao could use Golden Tooth Saber freely.
Meng Chao should have already reached the limit of his abilities by making Golden Tooth Saber shine.
How could he possibly activate the saber and make it show its second form, which was even stronger?!
Just as they expected, even though Meng Chao’s spirit energy erupted like a volcano for a long time and the light from Golden Tooth Saber reached eight meters tall and practically rammed a hole in the hall’s ceiling, the saber never showed any physical changes.
“Is he pushing himself?”
“Jin Wanhao was a top-class fighter that could be compared to Deity Realm superhumans, and this weapon has been with him for decades. There’s no way a four-star superhuman in his early twenties would be able to use it.”
“Speaking of which, Meng Chao is just in his early twenties, and he managed to make Golden Tooth Saber release a glare that is eight meters tall. Isn’t that already an unbelievable miracle? Give him another ten years, no, five, and he’ll definitely be able to unlock Golden Tooth Saber’s second form. Then, he’ll reach the ranks of Dragon City’s top-class fighters!”
“Could it be that Jin Wanhao saw his potential and gave Golden Tooth to him?”
Most of the gang fighters were fully convinced that Meng Chao was the successor chosen by Jin Wanhao.
Otherwise, it was impossible for him to hold Golden Tooth Saber and know the secret to unlock its power.
Even Phantom Bear Xiong Wei’s brows were scrunched up together, forming a deep crease between them.
But to everyone’s surprise, when they thought that Meng Chao had finished his performance, the true show started.
A few thick veins suddenly appeared on Meng Chao’s face, and golden sparks that did not lose to the saber glare rose in his eyes. His spine also let out a series of pops that sounded like a dragon’s roar.
The spirit flames that surrounded him were originally flying all around the place. At that moment, they gathered together and formed a dragon behind him. It rose into the air and soared!
Boom!
It was as if an invisible ordnance penetrator had descended from the sky and exploded in the hall. A visible shockwave spread out from Meng Chao.
Creak! Creak! Creak!
Crack!
The glass in the hall started letting out cracking sounds because of Meng Chao’s aura.
It was so strong that intersecting cracks that looked like spider webs even appeared on the reinforced glass, which would not even break after monsters rammed into it.
“That’s...”
At that moment, everyone’s breathing froze.
No one could believe their eyes. They did not trust the goosebumps on their skins, much less the tremors that rose from the depths of their bones.
“Divine Nine Dragon Seals!”
“It’s Battle God Lei Zongchao’s famous technique! It’s THE Divine Nine Dragon Seals, the one countless people dream of mastering, but only a few people manage to!”
“How is that possible! That’s impossible! Meng Chao a-actually managed to master Divine Nine Dragon Seals to such a degree? That’s insane!”
Strictly speaking, Divine Nine Dragon Seals was not a technique that could deliver straightforward damage. Instead, it was a technique that could unlock the eight dragon meridians and execute Nine Dragons Resonance. It would maximize the explosive power of a skill when the user used spirit energy to activate it.
With the help of the dragon meridians on his spine, the spirit flames around Meng Chao became five times stronger!
The spirit flames were like a heinous monster that rammed into Golden Tooth Saber. The quantitative change finally led to a qualitative change. As countless gang fighters watched in astonishment, Golden Tooth Saber let out a roar that sounded like it came from an Apocalyptic Beast.
The second layer of the saber finally came out amid the golden light, and it was like fangs. The spirit tattoos that covered the saber became even more complicated and dazzling. The hilt also became longer. It was originally a short hilt fitted to a heavy saber with a thick width, but now, the hilt became more than two meters long, and it was like a zanbato that could even cut main battle tanks in half.
The old gang fighters had a lot of wrinkles and intersecting scars on their faces, yet now, an indescribable expression appeared on their faces.
It had been many years since they had witnessed Golden Tooth Saber’s second form, but they could still remember the terror of being dominated by this fearsome zanbato.
What caused them greater fear, however, was that Meng Chao had not just unlocked the second form of Golden Tooth Saber.
His spirit flames continued gushing forward and blended perfectly with the golden saber glare from Golden Tooth Saber. Then, it was compressed at the tip and formed a small but blinding man-made sun!
The sun crackled like a golden ball of lightning that continued releasing golden sparks.
The sparks scattered like rain, but they did not disappear immediately. Instead, they surrounded Meng Chao and circled him slowly, like stars surrounding a moon. They protected their master, and the moment Meng Chao whistled, they would fly out to kill his enemies.
“This is... the starting stance for Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash!”
“Meng Chao has definitely obtained Jin Wanhao’s legacy!”
“It’s no wonder why he has the right to become Golden Tooth’s new gang leader!”
Even though the small sun at the tip of Meng Chao’s saber flickered and kept changing size, which made it look like it would disappear at any moment, and the sparks around him winked away as they circled him, it just showed that he had recently learned the skill. He knew the starting stance but not the essence of the technique. However, the stance alone was enough to tell everyone what had happened.
Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash was unlike Divine Nine Dragon Seals.
Battle God Lei Zongchao was generous and had offered all his martial arts to the public. All the martial arts courses in universities and even the martial arts research centers in society had carried out extensive research on them and gained a lot of results from their findings.
It could be said that all superhumans in Dragon City learned a lot of things from Battle God Lei Zongchao.
If Meng Chao were able to use Divine Nine Dragon Seals, it only meant that he was talented. It did not mean that he had any connection with the Battle God.
But the master of the lair was not this generous.
Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash was the secret he refused to teach anyone. He did not have any disciples or children, and he did not teach it to his Vice Gang Leader Su Lun, Song Jinbo, or his other old friends.
Logically speaking, no one should know the secret of Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash.
If Meng Chao was able to take the stance of Celestial Tyrant’s Star Shattering Slash, it could only mean that he had obtained Ji Wanhao’s acknowledgement and personal guidance.
Even if there was some sort of insider dealing in this, others could not possibly interfere with what had happened.
At the end of the day, these were the internal gang affairs of Golden Tooth. They did not have the right nor the strength to interfere.
Now, most of the gang leaders and gang fighters no longer doubted Meng Chao’s status as Golden Tooth’s gang leader.
And hence, the pressure was on Phantom Bear Xiong Wei.
Everyone held their breaths and waited for his reaction.
