…

'Are you nuts!? Kill a 7th-stage orc? Me!?'

Cao Mao had an impossibru expression, being shocked by the sudden quest. It was so difficult that it turned into a suicide-side-quest.

[Your sponsor said it's possible for you since you have many extraordinary skills.]

[Hint: Vampiric Touch, Dual Flame, Dragon Fire Element Immunity, Killer Queen.]

'Hmm?'

Cao Mao was surprised by the hint. It reminded him that he had protagonist-like skills in his arsenal.

There was still hope.

'I understand why I need Vampiric Touch and KQ, but Dual-Flame and the immunity?'

After Cao Mao had obtained KQ, he had been neglecting Dual-Flame skill since it was inferior to the fire element's power. He used to have an inspiration of integrating the technique with the fire element, but he had never practiced it since he had been busy with other matters.

And now, Cao Mao was reminded that it might be useful.

'Yin and Yang were born from the void. Yin is the characteristic of dark, cold, and negative energy while Yang is the representative of light, heat, and positive energy. Dual Flame fuses two opposite energies together to multiply its power. But I've already fused them and turned them into life energy…'

Cao Mao's eyes gleamed as he had many theories that he wanted to try. Unfortunately, he didn't have enough time to practice.

As such, he tried to ask his sponsor for advice.

'Any more advice on how I can utilize Dual-Flame properly?'

[Your sponsor said, "Become my vessel, and I'll give you everything, including this world."]

'That's very tempting, but what about my future? Can I become an immortal?'

["You'll practically have infinite lifespan under me anyway. Why bother becoming an immortal? You had nothing when you were a retired old man. Now, you have so many beautiful wives and subordinates. Your life is completed. Why pursuing immortality?"]

The sponsor had a point. Cao Mao could have given up his future and enjoyed his peaceful slow-life with his wives if he had his sponsor's full support. However, the credibility of this unknown entity was lacking.

Cao Mao couldn't trust him.

'To be honest, if it wasn't because of your protagonist-hunting bullshit, I would have spent my life being a mediocre cultivator somewhere. You're the one who encouraged me to pursue absolute strength.'

["True, but that was the past. You don't have to struggle anymore. Just bow your head to me, and everything will be a lot easier."]

Again, the sponsor suggested Cao Mao abandon his pride and yield to him. The devil's temptation was so strong that Cao Mao wanted to bow 90 degrees and take the easy way out. However, Cao Mao bit his tongue and resisted his urge.

'Sorry, no. I don't trust you. You're hiding some important information from me, and you're a bad liar.'

["I don't understand why you keep on struggling. You've proven your point. You're a talented man, and I respect that. You've also entertained me a lot these days. I don't want to see you die a pointless death."]

'Then, you're a hypocrite. You said that you wanted entertainment, but in reality, you just want to coax me to submit to you. If you don't want me to die, why giving me this shitty quest!? I just can't trust a dishonest god.'

[Your sponsor sighs in disappointment.]

["You're acting like one of those protagonists these days, are you aware of that?"]

'Nah, you've been acting too suspicious lately. If you want to earn my trust, you'd better prove it by being honest with me first. Since you've been so secretive and insincere with me, there is no point serving someone like you.'

["I guess you're not that stupid. Hahahaha!"]

Ding

[Your sponsor has gifted you 1,000 essence cores for not falling for the obvious seduction.]

Ding

[Kunwu receives 15,000 3rd-grade soul stones from Live-Streaming Betting House.]

[OG-Buddha receives 25,000 3rd-grade soul stones from Live-Streaming Betting House.]

[Sun Crow pays 10,000 3rd-grade soul stones to Live-Streaming Betting House.]

[Kunwu laughs and tips you 1,000 essence cores.]

[OG-Buddha is happy. He tips you 1,000 essence cores.]

[Sun Crow clicks his tongue as he bet on the wrong side.]

'Oi! Are you fucking gambling something behind my back!?'

It appeared that the conversation with the sponsor just now had been live-streamed, and the usual gods had been watching in secret. They even had a gambling house.

["Didn't I tell you? We want ENTERTAINMENT!"]

"…"

["Now, get your ass out of the city and defeat Kzarka. Don't disappoint us."]

The communication ceased as the sponsor stopped using the system as a mediator to talk with Cao Mao. The latter could only glare at the system screen, cursing his sponsor inwardly.

Cao Mao clenched his fist and closed his eyes. He paced his breath to stop thinking about his sponsor or how he had been manipulated.

Yet, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face flushed. It wasn't easy to calm his anger.

Cao Mao needed to beat someone to vent his frustration!

For a long time, he hadn't felt this rage. But now, he wanted blood. If he couldn't bathe with somebody else's blood, he wouldn't be able to sleep soundly tonight!

'Argh! Those fucking annoying gods! Fine! You want entertainment? Fine, I'll give you the best fucking entertainment possible!'

Cao Mao rechecked his belongings in his system inventory and in the spatial rings. He shuffled his items, preparing to sortie.

Ding

[Live-Streaming Betting House has opened for the next bet.]

[The topic of this bet is "Mao Miaomiao VS Kzarka"]

[The current odds is 1:5 against Mao Miaomiao.]

[Live-Streaming Betting House has invited you to participate in this betting session.]

[Will you bet on yourself? A warning from Live-Streaming Betting House, you cannot bet on your opponent's side since intentionally throwing a fight to win a bet is illegal.]

"…"

Seeing the new notification and the invitation from the gambling house, Cao Mao's anger subsided. He froze for a minute as his eyes instinctively glanced at his inventory menu, checking his assets.

Ding

[22 anonymous Dao Gods have joined your sponsor live-streaming channel.]

[One anonymous Fate God has joined your sponsor live-streaming channel.]

[Several dao gods has bet on Kzarka.]

Ding

[Due to the new betting volume, the odds has changed to 1:9.]

[Sun Crow bet 10,000 3rd-grade soul stones on your victory.]

[OG-Buddha bet 50,000 3rd-grade soul stones on your victory.]

[Kunwu bet 30,000 3rd-grade soul stones on your victory.]

[Your sponsor wants to bet on you, but Live-Streaming Betting House has banned him from betting.]

[Sun Crow, OG-Buddha, Kunwu, and several dao gods laugh at your sponsor.]

"…"

Indeed, the mysterious gods have been having a good time while Cao Mao had to put his life on the line for their entertainment.

He got annoyed again.

'System.'

[Yes?]

'How much can I bet on myself? What's the currency used there?'

[Calculating your worth…]

…

Kzarka had been attempting to negotiate for a truce, but Zhao Bao kept spraying slang and disrespectful words.

The orc was frustrated. Being repeatedly called a pig several times was no different than having a white guy calling a black man with N-word.

This was racism!

"Come on, pork chop! What are you waiting for? Do I have to pave my city with mud and shit before you have the motivation to come at me? Oh, I know. A pig like you can't possibly understand a human language. I should lower myself to your level and speak a pig's language, right? Oink! Oink! Squeak!"

After five minutes of pointless exchange, Kzarka snapped, "SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU VIRGIN!"

"Hahahahaha! That's right. I'm a virgin. But so what? What's the difference? No matter how many pigs you fucked, they're still pigs! At least, I'm into intelligent and beautiful humans, not animals."

"WHO'S THE ANIMAL, YOU MONKEY!!"

"Ahaha! What a nice squealing," Zhao Bao grinned. His mind game worked well, but he needed a bit of push before Kzarka could take the bait.

Thus, he took an extreme measure to lure Kzarka to the domain range of Ma Ping and Jia Shan, "Oh, you know what? Watch this!"

Zhao Bao took out the immortal-grade pill that Cao Mao had given him and ate it. Then, he unsummoned his dao avatar, and his domineering presence faded.

Tribulation cloud gathered around Zhao Bao. Yet, no Heaven Eye appeared to give him a proper tribulation.

The transparent soul of Zhao Bao slowly expanded, but it only took a second to grow larger than his physical body.

Soon, Zhao Bao's physical body was inside his giant soul!

Kzarka, Ma Ping, and Jia Shan widened their eyes in astonishment as they recognized this form. It was a state before a 7th-stage cultivator could break through to the 8th-stage, the Dao Soul Realm.

The breakthrough process from this point was as dangerous as skydiving from a plane without a parachute. One small mistake could lead to death.

Zhao Bao had to replace his physical body with his cultivated nascent soul by letting his soul consume his own physical body, including his heart, brain, and other organs. The physical body's foundation, energy in dantian, bone marrow, meridians, and muscle had to merge with Zhao Bao's dao and his nascent soul as one. Then, the soul had to be able to recreate the soul dantian, and it had to be strong enough to self-sustain without being corroded by the world's laws.

Only after the soul dantian could generate enough energy to maintain its new soul body in the mortal world, only then, Zhao Bao could call himself an 8th-stage expert, the Dao Soul Realm expert. He would be immune to elemental attacks or advanced elemental attacks. Even soul or mind attacks would be rendered useless against him.

However, each person's condition was different as it depended heavily on their daos. As such, no one could teach others how to advance to the 8th-stage.

Dao gods also couldn't teach their vessels how they could breakthrough from here as one dao could only allow one person to advance to the 8th-stage. The same dao couldn't become a foundation for another dao soul cultivator since it contained their entity signature, which couldn't be given away to others.

This was the greatest obstacle that prevented most vessels of dao gods from reaching the 8th-stage. Only capable ones, who had comprehended an additional dao despite being a vessel of a god, could advance further.

And Zhao Bao had comprehended one!

"SURPRISE, MOTHERFUCKER!"

Zhao Bao laughed as his physical body shattered into dust and merged with his expanding nascent soul.

"NOT A CHANCE, VIRGIN!!"

Kzarka took the bait. He charged toward Zhao Bao, trying to kill the monk while he was in the middle of breaking through to the 8th-stage.

Jia Shan and Ma Ping flew out of the city. They also unleashed their domain attacks.

In an instant, one hundred deep cuts and one hundred holes appeared on Kzarka's red skin, but they failed to stop Kzarka from advancing.

Kzarka braced the damages and expanded his domain power to the maximum range. Even though he might die here, Zhao Bao had to die with him! An 8th-stage cultivator was a threat against his tribe!

Then, the domain reached Zhao Bao!

Kzarka roared, "DIE, VIRGIN!!"

Jia Shan and Ma Ping panicked. Kzarka's endurance and vitality were too high, and they couldn't kill him on time.

"ZHAO BAO, DODGE!!"

"SENIOR ZHAO, MOVE!!"

Both men screamed, hoping for Zhao Bao to retreat even though it was impossible for the monk.

But at the last moment, before the curse dragon fire could burn the monk, a certain object appeared in front of him.

"SURPRISE, MOTHERFUCKER!!"

Le wild black katana had appeared.

Also, a brand new tank toy with a skull mask flew toward Kzarka.

"LOOK OVER HERE!!"
