Chapter 190: Watch My Talisman

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Slap!”, the True Dragon God whipped it’s tail and dealt a heavy blow to Qi Mei.

A white jade bracelet on her wrist immediately glowed, forming a layer of white light and blocking this attack.

The green dragon shrunk its body down to two meters in a flash, with purple electricity around its body, moving to and fro swiftly. Its strength did not change one bit.

“Boom!”, “Bam!”, “Crash!”…

Various noises rang out constantly, all the sounds of Dragon Claws, the Dragon Tail, and Dragon Horns striking Qi Mei.

And she deployed all her skills, but was unable to cut out even a single Dragon Scale.

If her magical energy defense had been any weaker, she would have been covered in dirt by now.

Despite being able to maintain her dignity, and despite the surrounding crowd not giving comments like normal bypassers, she still felt that the audience’s anxious gazes seemed like they were mocking her.

She was momentarily unable to concentrate her spirit as she suddenly remembered the time before she entered the mountains. She once watched a football competition with her family, seeing a situation where a defender failed to tackle the ball back from their opponents, now she could understand the humiliation…

Suddenly, she stopped attacking and leapt back dozens of meters away, taking a few breaths. It was not because she was tired, but instead because she was angry…

However, the green dragon did not chase after her, and only maintained distance from her, which made others curious.

The crowd looked at each other; they all had cultivated their bodies. They had position and restraint, so naturally, they would not scream and shout that so and so could not carry on… They only used telepathy secretly, or shot meaningful glances.

…

Seeing the Venerable Dragon God having the advantage, Elder Gui Da was finally relieved, and sent a telepathic message to Gui Er, “The Venerable Dragon God lives up to his reputation No wonder our Bodhisattva sang nothing but praises to him. By looking at this fight today, we can see how precise and adept they are. Being a split second too slow would cause them to get hurt, but being a split second too fast would end up with a wastage of energy. To be able to grasp the essence, they must be born to fight.”

Gui Er felt relieved too, and replied through telepathy, “Indeed, this Qi Mei has an extremely powerful Buddhist instrument, but in terms of close-range combat, comparing to the Venerable One would be equivalent to the difference between a reserve soccer player and Christiano Ronaldo or Messi 1 .”

Elder Gui Da felt helpless, “I cannot understand your comparisons, give me another example.”

Gui Er felt even more helpless, “It would be like the difference between 18K and AlphaGo in a game of Go. 2

Gui Er used two names that were more uncommon, but Elder Gui Da was extremely satisfied instead, “Now that’s a much better comparison… Speaking of AlphaGo, I’ve wanted to measure my strength against it for awhile now, but I’ve never had the time. When we finish the affairs with the Bodhisattva, I’ll study Go diligently with a quiet mind. I’ll let people know that the intelligence of a machine which relies on constantly upgrading hardware and algorithm would be able to crush a normal person, but after a normal person cultivates, upgrading the brain would allow them to crush them back.”

…

When Qi Mei jumped out to a distance, her hands rushed through several hand signs, and she chanted continuously.

The crowd immediately backed away, knowing that she would undoubtedly take out a strong talisman…

However, what made them gradually curious was the fact that the Venerable Dragon God did not take the opportunity to interrupt her casting, and only stared at her.

Zhu Hongying started to become anxious as she watched from the side, wanting to get a shot in and prevent her from using her Ult again. She knew her place, however, and she also knew that they could only spectate. If she really went up to attack her, it would just get blocked by her layers upon layers of protection.

Qiao Zijiang nodded her head instead. The Venerable Dragon God was indeed generous to let the opponent reveal her trump card, and then completely defeat her in one go. She would then admit defeat willingly, and no longer continue causing trouble.

While everyone had their own thoughts, they then saw a strange ball appearing before Qi Mei. Its size similar to a soccer ball, with black and white colors intertwined together. At first glance, it really looked like a soccer ball…

Nobody would actually treat it like one, though. Everyone watched with bated breath, not missing a single slight movement.

As Qi Mei summoned the ball, she regained her confidence and shouted at the green dragon from afar. “Hmph, Venerable Dragon God, your Dragon Roar is indeed powerful, and contains the True Dragon God’s wrath, being able to disperse the Spiritual Sense Injunction of ordinary talismans. However, this is a Mixed-Vitality Heavenly Sphere, and its Spiritual Sense Injunction was blessed personally by my Master. My master is the master of Azure Mountain, his cultivation is close to… In any case, this is not something that a True Dragon like you can break. If you are wise, you would obediently follow me back to the mountains, if not, I’m gonna, gonna…”

Everyone knew that what Qi Mei wanted to utter would undoubtedly be bad, but they did not know why she did not want to say it out.

She stuttered for several more times, and in the end settled with pointing out her finger fiercely. The Mixed-Vitality Heavenly Sphere then immediately charged towards the green dragon.

The green dragon instantly flew upwards to evade, but the ball was locked on to it, turning and flying swiftly, constantly chasing after the dragon’s body.

At the moment, the green dragon only had the ability to evade, not retaliate. Sure enough, it did not attempt to roar, not daring to try and consume the ball.

Qi Mei regained the upper hand, and was immediately delighted. Her eyes shined with intelligence and refinement.

Everyone was shocked. The enemy was delighted, as if she had revealed an extraordinary secret. So what exactly was the master of the Azure Mountain’s cultivation close to, perhaps the Heavenly Axiom? Would that be possible?

Whereas Qiao Zijiang suddenly realized, no wonder Qi Mei dared to run amuck. It was because she had someone to rely on. She knew that if she were to cause trouble, no one could do anything as long as she hides in the Azure Mountain. This mentality was really no different from brats, to run back home after messing up. The parents would then solve the matter again and again, and those brats would seek death again and again, until they eventually enter prison to repent…

Fang Ning watched the System fly around to avoid the ball’s pursuit, not allowing it to touch the body one bit, but also not striking back. He knew then that they would fall into a long tug of war, as this ball was not easy to deal with.

Since it would be a tug of war, he then arrived at the Draconic Penitentiary, looking for the best commentator Anderson, and broadcast it for Sir System to listen to his explanation.

He explained the ins and outs of the matter, and Anderson immediately had a pretty good idea of the situation.

Anderson said, “Venerable Warden, I have vaguely heard about the title of the Azure Mountain. That place is also an arcane realm, similar to the Land of Heritage, but its area should be much smaller. Her master has never appeared in the outside realm, and the disciples rarely appear too, but the Balance Association never managed to infiltrate the place. I know that their connections are extremely deep. Among every disciple that appears, there would always be one whose power could stand up against the current individual power limitations in this world.

The System then said to Fang Ning, “That explains why she’s so hard to deal with… Multi-millionaire host, look at yourself, you’re being too lazy. Usually, you only know how to play games with Anderson, and you don’t even know to ask them about the world’s power situation, and how many factions there are? You are not qualified to be a military advisor.”

Once Fang Ning heard so, how could he not care? For the System to actually doubt his position as military advisor, he immediately snapped back, “What do you even know? I have thought about it for a long time but just never mentioned it. I wasn’t sure whether Anderson had truly converted in the past, and I was afraid that their information would be fake. If they deliberately mixed up which was strong and weak, or good from evil, and you were to farm the wrong monsters or tread on the wrong pit, wouldn’t we end up in a bad situation?

“Now after coming here several times, I can tell that they have finally given up. I will appoint him as vice military adviser afterward and clearly organize the intelligence information. You should also grant him permission to query external networks, and not only limit them to that game.”

The System replied, “That sounds reasonable. But with you explaining so much, I just feel that you are still duping me… you probably just forgot.”

Fang Ning was speechless, “There are many things that I have never said, but that doesn’t mean that I forgot about them… If you continue to slander me, do you think that you can still borrow money from me in the future?”

The System, “Oh, I have misunderstood the multi-millionaire… The Multi-millionaire should be more patient this time, and slowly watch the broadcast. This ball is unable to hit me, but I cannot attack it too, as it’s extremely high quality and extremely sturdy, too. Not only does it have a strong Spiritual Sense Injunction on top of it, it also has spirituality, so it’s impossible to consume it unless I defeat it. If this goes on, I might have to fight for several months and let it run out of magical energy…”

Fang Ning was at loss for words, if this fight were to last for months, at least, fortunately, his body being was seized. He could leave everything to Sir System. If it were himself, he would definitely be bored to death…

He already became bored just by watching for over ten minutes, not to mention personally fighting… Instead, he decided to talk to Anderson.

Fang Ning asked, “Andy, what do you think of Azure Mountain, for a ball to be so powerful? No wonder that woman is being so arrogant.”

Anderson already had a speculation, and replied immediately. “As explained by the Venerable One earlier, Qi Mei said that the ball had her master’s Spiritual Sense Injunction, and that her master is the master of the Azure Mountain, close to… I then thought of something, maybe the capabilities that could be exerted by her master in the Azure Mountain arcane realm are similar to the Venerable Dragon God’s capabilities in the Draconic Penitentiary. So even if a Descended One from the Upper Realm infiltrates, said person would be suppressed immediately without having to fight, and would be unable to resist. That is why the enemy is being so arrogant and domineering.”

Fang Ning was immediately stunned. An expert was an expert indeed, just from Qi Mei’s inadvertent words, they could head straight to the point and find the crux… That explained why Qi Mei was being so arrogant, and why she did not even bother to care about the Bodhisattva Spirit King, who was a descended one.

Anderson continued to explain, “This shows that the mysterious Azure Mountain arcane realm definitely has formidable Maxim, like a well-established world, very similar to our Draconic Penitentiary. The Truth Department has the Land of Heritage, and their site is huge, but considering the strength and strictness of the Atmospheric Rule, it is far less compared to the latter two. Unless they are large enough, something like the infinite universe outside, the strength of the arcane realm’s Maxim would not have much relation to the size of the site.”

Fang Ning immediately told the System, “Did you hear all that? Next time during battles, just directly broadcast it to Anderson, an expert’s explanation is very useful.”

The System, “How is it useful? They can only provide an explanation, do they have a way to restrain that ball?”

Fang Ning was speechless, “You’re so practical, they were pointing out the opponent’s details, letting us have a clear idea about it so we wouldn’t walk straight into their Azure Mountain, lest it be the same as Aachman who stepped on a big pit and got locked up. How could this be useless?”

The System said, “I wouldn’t follow them even if he didn’t say all that. Even if I were to enter, I would let Long Fan enter first.”

Fang Ning cussed, “Damn it. Your temper is the same as usual… I’ll ask Anderson if they have any ideas.”

Fang Ning no longer had to speak, as Anderson was an extremely competent commentator. They were just like a football commentator, giving solutions just as they came up…

Anderson said, “In my opinion, in order to deal with that ball, there is still a method that you could try. The Azure Mountain has wide connections, but the Hindu Trinity is extremely powerful too, and the two sides would face each other eventually. Why not let me go to the isolation cell and incite Aachman a little, it might tell me some uses of that gemstone scepter this time…”

Fang Ning nodded his head and allowed them to do so immediately.

Several minutes later, Anderson typed out a few uses of the gemstone scepter into the computer.

Fang Ning was truly impressed. An expert was an expert indeed, this Balance Association had a scientific and also effective method of inciting others…

Aachman, who had been sentenced to soul punishment and confined for more than ten days, had extreme determination and tenacious willpower. When questioning for the uses of the gemstone scepter through torture, he would never spill out anything, and would only enter Fury Mode…

The Aggro provided by himself could fill up all Aggro Bars in an instant. It could be comparable to his first Fury Mode. It was understandable, as it was a peerless Lake-level Powerhouse, it was an envoy of a God, and was proud and arrogant. To be locked up in hell and tortured, it would be weirder if such humiliation did not cause him to enter Fury Mode…

Fang Ning even thought that it would never yield even after a hundred years, but now with Anderson’s duping, he happily gave out some of its secrets…

Fang Ning could only sigh. He had to make the best use of Anderson’s talents. Even if Fang Ning himself knew the tricks of the trade, he would still not be able to be so relaxed and freehanded like Anderson. To be able to change the other party’s attitude with just a few sentences, to shift his ground and reveal its secrets… It was easier said than done.

…

Seeing the green dragon dodge left and right for a long while without having the capability to retaliate, Qi Mei mocked. “What’s wrong? Why aren’t you roaring anymore? If my Master hadn’t given me a limit, if I unleashed the true power of this Mixed-Vitality Heavenly Sphere, in just one hit, everything in a one-mile radius would be reduced to ashes. You would have nowhere to run!”

Everyone felt their hearts jolt at her words. How strong that treasure from Azure Mountain was!

They walked among the masses even when cultivating. Every time during the Treasure Trading Convention, they would plunder and exchange materials from the land of China, which allowed them to refine countless treasures in the past years. This was the power of monopolizing technology…

At this moment, the Green Dragon avoided the ball’s attack, and said faintly, “I just wanted to leave some face for you, but I never thought that you would be so unappreciative. You do not know the vastness of heaven and earth, you do not know when to cease, and you only think of destruction! It seems that I have no choice but to use the fury of lightning and thunder in order to awaken you from your error, only then will you correct your mistakes and return to the right path… Behold my talisman!”

Qi Mei froze at his words, and everyone else felt their bodies shiver. Afterward, they saw a gigantic scepter more than a hundred meters long suddenly appear in the sky!

They only just thought of it now. The Dragon Clan in myths had many treasures, and it seemed like the same held true in reality as well.

Qiao Zijiang was very clear. Without mentioning anything else, that extremely large-capacity Interspatial Equipment of his was something rarely seen in the world. It had never been filled to the brim before…

Fang Ning clapped and cheered, “Alright, I’m going to beat this arrogant bastard until he becomes retarded!”

Anderson said, “Your Excellency is absolutely right. With this might of this scepter, she will have no way to escape from her doom.”

Fang Ning nodded and said, “Hm, listening to your words, Anderson, I believe your Hanyu 3 level is definitely over Level 6. It must be stronger than that Robert.”

Anderson said, “Oh, that sharpshooter, I remember him. I personally called him over. His Hanyu level isn’t bad too.”
