MONSTER PARADISE

421-440

Chapter 421: Priority

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Shadow Land was a city that was overrun by monsters. Every skyscraper, house and even cellar were filled with monsters. Many of them walked around the streets that were made by humans. In the safe zones, such a scene could only be seen if a foothold was completely invaded by the monster crowd. The monsters treated themselves as the owners of the city. Some of them would even avoid some of the buildings so as not to damage the lights. They seemed to really enjoy the lights in the city as it was soft and did not hurt the eyes like the sun did.

They were buildings of different heights on both sides of the streets. Most of them were engulfed with plants while there were some parts that were completely damaged. It was the sign that time had passed. There were many abandoned cars by the streets but they were only left with their bare shells as time went by.

“Brother, what are those steel shells?” Lin Xin asked while they were riding on the Viridian Wolf.

“They should be a form of transportation during the olden times.” Lin Huang had no idea if they used cars in this world, so he just called them “transportation”.

“Transportation? So ugly?” Lin Xin was looking at the broken shells that had been through decades. The metal steel that was rusty seemed really unsightly.

“I guess they didn’t look like this when they were not broken. Or maybe, the people in that era had a different definition of beauty compared to us,” Lin Huang explained.

“But how do these things move?” Lin Xin was curious.

“Perhaps it’s powered by some demonic crystal energy source.” Lin Huang had no idea how the cars in the old epoch worked.

Lin Xin seemed to notice that her questions were too much as Lin Huang was not a teacher who researched the old epoch after all. It was normal for him not to be able to answer her questions. She decided to stop asking to avoid the awkwardness. Under the bright street lights, the Viridian Wolf brought Lin Huang, Lin Xin, and Lancelot into the city without making any sound. Lin Huang and Lin Xin were sitting while Lancelot stood behind Lin Huang, his feet glued on the Viridian Wolf’s back. No matter how bumpy the road got, he did not seem to be affected at all. He was swinging his black sword as they traveled, killing all the monsters within the coverage of his Death Zone.

There were not many monsters along the way. Most of the monsters that Lancelot killed were those that wandered the streets. Besides abandoned cars, they were not many obstacles around. The Viridian Wolf could be seen from far away, and the wandering monsters dashed towards them as they saw the humans riding on the Viridian Wolf. To them, the human flesh was definitely delicious food with fresh, tender meat. Some of them would attack when they saw them from the broken windows in the buildings.

However, those threats were taken care by the complete gold-level Lancelot easily. Although it was a middle-range danger zone with at least five Transcendent monsters, most of the monsters were below Transcendent. With Lancelot’s white flame-level attack ability, he did not need to swing his sword twice with the Death Zone. He could kill just by standing where he was. Initially, Lin Xin panicked as she saw monsters charging at them, but she soon noticed that none of them could get 20 meters close to the Viridian Wolf as they were killed by Lancelot.

“Brother, Lancelot is so powerful! Is he the most powerful summoning monster that you have?” Lin Xin asked instinctively as she thought Lancelot was more powerful than Tyrant and Kylie. What she did not know was that Tyrant and Kylie had already completed their unlocking and were both holy fire-level while Lancelot was only a complete gold-level. No matter Tyrant’s defensive ability or Kylie’s speed, they were definitely more powerful than Lancelot’s attack ability.

“No.” Lin Huang turned around and looked at Lancelot.

“He would be in the top 3 if he managed to mutate again when he’s a holy fire-level.”

What Lin Huang said was the truth. He owned two triple mutated monsters which were Bai and the Supreme Overlord. Bai was a god’s blood creature and triple mutated, so it was no doubt the most powerful Monster Card that Lin Huang had. The second was the Supreme Overlord. Although he did not have any unique blood, his intelligence was high, and he was good at controlling. He had terrifying abilities himself and ranked second among the other Monster Cards for now.

The third would be Charcoal. Once Charcoal was unlocked and leveled up to holy fire-level, it would evolve into an adult and become the remarkable one in the Monster Card collection. Whether its blood would upgrade or whether a triple mutation would happen, the adult Charcoal would be much powerful than before and could be comparable with Bai.

Lin Huang said Lancelot would be top 3 if he were triple mutated as he had included the sword servants as well. With the nine sword servants, Lancelot would definitely defeat any of the monsters. Although Lancelot was a monster with the title of “ruthless”, Lin Huang did not plan to upgrade him because of the title. Lancelot had no comment about what Lin Huang said as he was clear that the comment meant well. He knew about Bai and the Supreme Overlord’s abilities himself; they were really more powerful than he was.

“It can’t be…” Lin Xin was stunned. To her, Lancelot was invincible, but to Lin Huang, he would only be top 3 if he managed to achieve a triple mutation.

“Lancelot is only a complete gold-level now. He’ll need a very long time to grow strong.” Lin Huang remembered that Xiao Hei had mentioned that monsters with titles should be trained properly. That was how he started looking up on Lancelot and Kylie.

He had more and more Monster Cards with limited Advanced Cards, so it was impossible for him to train all his monsters at once. He would have to choose those that were talented with real abilities as well as the conformity of the summoning monsters.

If blood mattered, Bai and Charcoal should be prioritized while the three fiends would come second. The team should have a controlling monster, so the Supreme Overlord should be prioritized as well. His controlling skill was almost invincible while the Sanguine Skeleton Spirit and the Witch could be his backup. Besides, the intelligent Bloody should be prioritized as well as Tyrant who had the highest defense ability among all of them. Considering what Xiao Hei said, Lancelot and Kylie should be trained too.

That was why Lin Huang insisted on taking his time to unlock his monsters as they were worth training. As Lin Huang was thinking about which monsters to prioritize, the Viridian Wolf slowed down.

“We’re here?” Lin Huang looked up and looked into a dark alley without any street lights ahead.

Chapter 422: Bloody’s Ambition

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The dark alley was not where the Cursed Swordfiend was, but it was the hiding place for a parasite called the Shadow Worm. The Shadow Worm was a unique parasite which would perform parasitizing on creatures’ shadows instead of their bodies, which was unavoidable for the victims. Their reason for being there was because Bloody had mentioned to Lin Huang before that it was one of the parasitizing methods that it desired. The Shadow Worm not only had an unusual parasitizing method but was also a cross-ranking parasite.

Lin Huang pinned this location first when they arrived in the area. The Viridian Wolf stopped at the entrance of the alley, and Lin Huang could hear crunching. It was the sound of Shadow Worms that was crawling in the dark.

“Come out, Bloody!” Lin Huang waved and summoned Bloody.

“This is the Shadow Leech of the Shadow Worm that you wanted. Its is lair ahead,” Lin Huang said to Bloody.

Bloody nodded in excitement and dashed towards the alley in a crimson glow. Soon, the alley became crowded with chirping noises. There were some Shadow Worms that raced towards Lin Huang and Lin Xin, but they were killed by Lancelot easily. It was the first time for the both of them to see real Shadow Worms. It was a black worm the size of an adult thumb that resembled a spider. They crawled fast, but they could not fly, or else, Lin Huang would not have just stood by the alley entrance so nonchalantly.

“Congratulations, your epic-level Monster Card Bloody has obtained a new skill – Shadow Leech (Supreme).” As Xiao Hei’s notification was heard, a red glow dashed towards Lin Huang like a lightning bolt.

“I’ve got the skill. Let’s go.” Bloody spoke to Lin Huang in his mind.

“Let’s go!” Lin Huang patted the Viridian Wolf’s back and they left. As they moved, the Shadow Worms chased them from the alley like a flood of critters.

“We have offended them. Luckily, they can’t fly.” Lin Huang turned around to look while asking the Viridian Wolf to run as fast as it could. He did not bother about the monsters around that were affected by the Shadow Worms. The Shadow Worms were not quick enough, so the Viridian Wolf managed to get away from them in an instant as it was much larger. Each stride of the Viridian Wolf was equivalent to hundreds of steps of the Shadow Worms. It was impossible for them to catch up. Therefore, the monsters around were attacked out of nowhere. Many of the monsters were puzzled by the chaos.

Lin Huang looked at Bloody’s details as he had the time, and he wanted to know what was the effect of the skill that Bloody had obtained.

“Monster Card”

 

“Rarity: Epic”

 

“Monster Name: Bloody (Demonic Dandelion Vine)”

 

“Type of Monster: Parasite”

 

“Combat Level: Gold-level Rank-3 (Complete)”

 

“Skill 1: Leech Pods”

 

“Skill 2: Absolute Control”

 

“Skill 3: Supreme Intelligence”

 

“Skill 4: Limitless Ingestion”

 

“Skill 5: Shadow Leech (Supreme)”

 

“Summon Authority: Activated”

 

“Remarks: Monster skill has yet to be fully discovered. One more skill on the way.”

 

“Card Remarks: Trainable”

 

…

 

“Shadow Leech (Supreme): Using shadows as an agent, it can parasitize on any living thing of two levels higher.”

 

“Remark 1: There’s no need to enter the host’s body. All it needs to do is to capture the host’s shadow with its own to complete the parasite.”

 

“Remark 2: The shadow of the host can be changed into any form and can move as it wishes as long as the shadow doesn’t cover more than 100 times of its own body. The host’s shadow cannot be smaller than its own body.”

 

“Remark 3: 10 targets maximum at once.”

 

“Remark 4: The maximum level of the host is two levels higher.”

 

“Remark 4: Creatures that have no shadows could not be applied.”

 

…

“My Bloody is so powerful!” Lin Huang thought to himself as he read the description of the new skill. Although Bloody’s Leech Pods could parasitize massive amounts of creatures at once, it only applied to those that had the same combat level as Bloody. Cross-ranking parasitizing was impossible for the Leech Pods. However, now Bloody had a second parasite skill which it should be able to cast on one host, but Lin Huang had no idea how it could parasitize on ten hosts at the same time. Besides, it could cast on not only one level, but two whole levels higher.

Lin Huang had never heard of any parasite monsters that possessed cross-ranking and group parasitizing abilities. Perhaps Bloody was the first. If Bloody were a wild monster that was not controlled by humans, although it was not a holy fire-level yet, the destruction that it could create would be chaotic. The two abilities alone could destroy the entire human C-grade foothold.

“Have you chosen the last skill? Maybe one for survival or would you like to choose from regeneration, defense, or speed?” Lin Huang asked Bloody as he saw there was still one vacant skill slot.

“I have chosen Immortal Tinder.” Bloody had its own plan.

“Immortal Tinder? Isn’t that the Undead Evil Child’s skill? It’s an undead. Can you extract the skill?” Lin Huang did not mention that the Undead Evil Child was one of the monsters that could not be killed in this world.

Since this monster could cast its tinder on other creatures, as soon as it died, one of the tinders would be activated and its consciousness would be transferred into the tinder in the host, which would then completely transform the host into a new Undead Evil Child. Although there were only nine tinders, the tinders were cast far away, so it was impossible for it to be killed. Before the tinder was activated, nobody could tell which monsters were the hosting them.

“I don’t need to kill it, all I need is to parasite on one, extract its memory and mimic its ability. I think there are similarities between my Leech Seed and its tinder. I’ll try to integrate my Leech Seed with the ability. If it’s successful, I’ll have hundreds of thousands of lives and that’ll increase even more as I get more powerful. It’s okay even if the integration fails. I can research an ability that’s similar to survival.” Bloody had chosen the skill as it was ambitious. If the integration was successful, it was basically immortal. Even Lin Huang was shocked by its grandiose plan.

Suddenly, a few birds tore towards them, but they were soon killed by Lancelot who was standing on the Viridian Wolf.

“What’s happening? Why’re there more monsters out of nowhere?” Lin Huang noticed that something was wrong as many monsters were chasing after them.

“These monsters must be parasitized by the Shadow Worm…” Bloody said after a long silence.

“But all we did was kill one of their friends, so why are they doing this?” The monsters that were controlled by the Shadow Worms still came after them after the Viridian Wolf was already tens of kilometers away, puzzling Lin Huang.

“Maybe because I killed their king…” What Bloody said made Lin Huang speechless. No wonder the worms were coming after them like they had killed their father! Lin Huang did not expect their father to truly have been killed!

“Maybe they’re chasing us because I have the king’s aura on me. We should be able to get rid of them if you recall me back into card form, Master.” Bloody that was hiding in Lin Huang’s sleeve suggested.

“Alright then…” Lin Huang then recalled Bloody into card form.

As expected, when the monsters were killed by Lancelot, the rest of them at the back did not chase after them anymore.

“Finally, it stopped.” Lin Huang was relieved. He then patted the Viridian Wolf’s fluffy head.

“Next target – the Cursed Swordfiend!”

Chapter 423: It Is Somewhat Purified

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Cursed Swordfiend was a humanoid demon monster that had gone through three mutations.

Most of the sword type monsters and swordsmen among humans were skilled at close combat. Their attack power was rather impressive .

However, the Cursed Swordfiend was an exception. It was excellent at assassinating enemies. Aside from that, a variety of spells were cast on its swords.

If one were attacked by its sword, a randomly selected curse would befall the person immediately. Each attack would create different types of curse effects, and these effects could be overlaid on the body of the injured.

Some curses had an extremely strong effect. For example, the Lethal Curse would cause immediate death in the cursed. Even if the wound was less than a millimeter long and if the opponent’s combat strength was a few levels higher than the Cursed Swordfiend, the curse would still be effective immediately. However, most of the curses could only manage to distract its opponent such as causing dizziness, numbness, diarrhea, urinary incontinence, and so on.

Because the Cursed Swordfiend possessed such an evil power, humans tried not to offend such a monster. They would feel extremely awkward if they were injured during the battle, suffering from urinary incontinence or diarrhea. Furthermore, if one were unlucky and encountered the Lethal Curse, they would be weeping without tears.

However, Lin Huang had no fear of the Cursed Swordfiend. The monster could be controlled by Kylie the Nephilic Judge who was completely immune to its curse. In addition to that, despite the weak Cursed Swordfiend’s attack power and despite the fact that it was only a white flame-level, Tyrant was unable to break through its defense. It would probably kill Tyrant instead.

The Cursed Swordfiend would have no way of penetrating Lin Huang’s energy protective layer that was created by his 5-star armor, let alone bypass Lin Huang’s ultimate defensive skill – the Dark Shield.

The people were all afraid of the Cursed Swordfiend. However, to Lin Huang, there was no difference between the Cursed Swordfiend and the rest of the white flame-level monsters.

After getting rid of the Shadow Worms, Lin Huang recalled the Viridian Wolf and summoned the Viridescent Thunderhawk. He had ridden on the Viridian Wolf previously because the distance between them was short. They were less than 30 kilometers apart. It was also because Lin Huang wanted to take a closer look at the situation of the city. If not for his worrying about Lin Xin’s physical strength, he would have actually preferred to walk.

The Cursed Swordfiend was found about 1,200 kilometers away. It was a straight-line distance. Despite the Viridian Wolf running at full speed, it still took them more than ten hours to arrive at their destination.

The Viridescent Thunderhawk then carried the three of them and flew off into the sky. In less than an hour, they then arrived at their destination and landed on the ground.

The Shadow Land, the place where the Cursed Swordfiend was hiding, was a high-rise building situated towards the west of the ruins. It had a height of more than 570 meters. Despite being located at the center of the city, it still stood out above the rest.

Lin Huang could see that before its abandonment, it had been a prosperous business zone. Lights from buildings of different sizes used to be lit up all the time, and the city had been as bright as day.

“Before the foothold was abandoned, it must have been a prosperous city,” Lin Xin sized up the surrounding and said.

Just looking at the buildings, the area of the business zone was comparable to that of an A-grade foothold.

Lin Huang then raised his head and looked towards the tallest building. If he was not mistaken, the Cursed Swordfiend should now be hiding on the top floor of the building and it must have noticed them.

He immediately recalled the Viridescent Thunderhawk and summoned Kylie. Kylie sized up the surrounding calmly as soon as she realized that she was somewhere she was unfamiliar with. She then turned back and looked at Lin Huang. To be exact, it was a half-red, half-blue mask without any facial features that was looking towards Lin Huang.

She did not ask anything about it and Lin Huang said nothing either. He immediately instructed, “There is a Cursed Swordfiend on top of the building, bring it down, but don’t kill it.”

Kylie did not nod. She lifted her head and looked towards the top of the high-rise building. Her gaze seemed to have penetrated through her mask. She was not restricted to the dark surroundings and managed to see the humanoid monster that was looking at them. Six of her golden wings immediately fluttered, and she flew up to the sky towards the top of the building.

After a few moments, a dazzling white glow suddenly appeared in mid-air. Lin Huang, who was looking towards that direction, squinted.

Soon after, a loud explosive sound was heard and a black shadow immediately appeared. It struck the ground hard with a cloud of smoke.

Bang!

Lin Huang could feel the vibration was coming from the ground beneath his feet. Lin Xin, who was standing next to him, almost fell down. He immediately extended his hand and grabbed her. As soon as Lin Xin could balance herself, Lin Huang then looked towards the direction where the black shadow had fallen. A big hole that was a few meters in diameter was formed hundreds of meters away from him.

Right at this moment, before Lin Huang could even issue any instructions, Lancelot transformed into a black shadow and took a leap.

Kylie then gradually descended from mid-air. It seemed like she was not going to join the fight as she stood next to Lin Huang and became a spectator.

There was smoke billowing out from the big hole. Soon, Lancelot body was shrouded in the cloud of smoke and nobody could see him.

Even Lin Huang’s vision could only detect a few beams of black shadows flickering and crashes were heard.

This situation lasted for less than a minute. Before the smoke cleared away, Xiao Hei’s notification was heard.

“Congratulations, you have obtained an Epic level monster card –the Cursed Swordfiend (Sword Servant).

Lancelot slowly walked out from the cloud of smoke. Lin Huang was shocked because the Cursed Swordfiend was killed by Lancelot very quickly. Although it was weak in close combat, it was still a white flame-level monster. How did Lancelot manage to kill it in less than a minute without even activating his Absolute Life?!

Lin Huang then recalled the white glow that appeared mid-air and looked towards Kylie. “What did you do to the Cursed Swordfiend just now?!”

“I did nothing. It is somewhat purified,” Kylie said calmly.

Lin Huang then recalled the beam of white light that had appeared abruptly in mid-air must have been Kylie’s Purification Light. The Purification Light could be fatal to the Cursed Swordfiend. When it shone on the Cursed Swordfiend, it was as if an ordinary person had been doused with sulphuric acid. Despite the light shining on it for only a short period, it had been weakened drastically.

Lin Huang soon understood why Lancelot had been capable of killing it so easily.

“An immortal-level monster that is 1,800 kilometers away from you sensed the power of Purification Light. It is coming towards you…” Xiao Hei’s voice was suddenly heard.

Chapter 424: Escape!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Huang had expected this to happen since there might be the presence of immortal-level monsters at the moderate danger zone. However, he never thought that Kylie’s Purification Light would catch the immortal-level monster’s attention.

“Where’s the immortal-level monster coming from?” Right when Lin Huang asked this, he recalled Kylie and Lancelot back to their card forms and summoned the Viridescent Thunderhawk again.

“It’s coming from the northeast.”

Lin Huang then carried Lin Xin, and the both of them rode on Thunder’s back. He urged, “Let’s head towards the south as fast as you can!”

The Viridescent Thunderhawk immediately flew up to the sky and accelerated towards the cave located southwards.

“Brother, what happened?” Lin Xin asked in shock.

“There is an immortal-level monster coming after us!” Lin Huang did not bother hiding it from her.

As soon as Thunder heard that, it accelerated at its maximum speed.

“Is an immortal-level even stronger than a holy fire-level?” Lin Xin could still remember that Lin Huang had mentioned to her before the three levels of Transcendents. It was the immortal-level that was ranked above holy fire-level.

“Yes.” Lin Huang nodded and did not explain any further. Seeing Lin Huang’s reaction, Lin Xin did not continue asking.

“How long do we need to arrive at the exit at Thunder’s current speed?” Lin Huang contacted Xiao Hei through his mind.

“42 minutes.”

“Will the monster be able to catch up with us?” Lin Huang then asked.

“At the Viridescent Thunderhawk’s current speed, it takes only half an hour for the immortal-level monster to catch up with you.”

“We won’t be able to run away at Thunder’s speed…” Lin Huang frowned. After a short a while, a thought flashed through his mind. “If Thunder is not fast enough, Kylie’s speed should be.”

As soon as he thought of this, Lin Huang immediately summoned Kylie. Standing on the Viridescent Thunderhawk’s back, Kylie looked at Lin Huang doubtfully.

Lin Huang immediately communicated with Kylie through his mind. He wanted Kylie’s body could grow wider so that he and Lin Xin could sit on her back.

It was apparent that Kylie was unwilling to let anyone ride on her back. She was not a flying mount. However, she was forced to agree with him.

As soon as the body of Kylie who was standing on Thunder’s back grew bigger, Thunder’s speed was somewhat affected. Lin Huang and Lin Xin then rode on her back. Kylie attempted to flap her wings. After knowing that her movement was not being hindered, she then flew off into the sky.

Lin Huang then recalled Thunder that was still flying.

Kylie accelerated rapidly, and her speed seemed to be three times faster than Thunder’s in an instant.

Six of her golden wings fluttered and a golden meteorite streaked across the sky.

Roar!

The immortal-level monster growled angrily as soon as it discovered Lin Huang was getting farther away from it. However, Lin Huang and the rest could not hear it as Kylie’s flying speed was four times faster than the speed of sound.

Still, the growl could be heard in the city. The monsters immediately froze as soon as they heard it. All of them knew very well that it was the overlord of the underworld that let out a loud roar. Many of the hunters and adventure teams immediately restrained their aura and hid in the buildings. It was not the first time for those team to be there and they recognized the presence of the overlord as well.

“What’s that sound? It’s so scary! It feels like my bladder just shrunk!” A 20 years old young man exclaimed. The monster let out a loud roar that reached the bottom of one’s soul. He was indeed frightened.

“Just admit that you peed! What do you mean your bladder has shrunk?” A man next to him saw that he wet his pants and glanced at him disgustedly.

“Shut up!” A tall man in golden armor was their leader. He shouted at the both of them. He was the one who had greeted Lin Huang’s team somewhere near the Dimensional Portal. He did not manage to form a team of ten and ended up with only eight of them.

He suddenly remembered that they were partners right after he shouted at both of them and that they would not be happy with him. The tall man immediately lowered his voice and explained, “It is the master of the Shadow Land who let out the loud roar. It is an immortal-level monster, namely, the Abyssal Dragon. It was an actual dragonkin…”

“An immortal-level dragonkin…” The people who first came to the Shadow Land were shocked.

“It sounded like the Abyssal Dragon isn’t in a good mood. Let’s hide here today. Please don’t cause a stir in this area. We shall rest today and think about killing the monsters tomorrow,” the tall team leader instructed.

“However, it’s not safe to hide here. We’ll be trapped if it spits dragonflame. This is just an ordinary building and even we can destroy it, let alone the dragonkin,” the young man who wet his pants had not calmed down and raised his opinion, “I think it’s better for us to quit now. We’ll come in again tomorrow.”

“Based on our observation, the Abyssal Dragon won’t simply destroy any buildings in the city. All these years, the city has always been precious to it. It never wanted to tear down the buildings. Besides, when it’s angry, all the monsters in the city will go dormant, and they won’t get us into trouble. Therefore, it’s certainly safe to stay here. If you walk along the streets, you’ll easily become the Abyssal Dragon’s target,” the tall man warned.

Listening to the leader’s explanation, the young man immediately kept quiet and had no more objections.

Of course, Lin Huang did not know that the monster he offended had sent all the humans and monsters in the Shadow Land to go into hiding. He had no idea what type of monster was chasing after him. There was no need for him to know though. As long as it was an immortal-level monster, he could not afford to offend it.

Despite having a Provisional Summoning Card as his trump card and being able to summon a monster with similar abilities to the Infernal Dragon that had appeared at the auction hall, he did not want to use the life-saving card if possible.

Kylie took about ten minutes and arrived somewhere near the cave. Although the cave was not wide, it was sufficient for Kylie to pass through. She retracted her wings, slowing down, and rushed towards the exit along with Lin Xin and Lin Huang.

A few moments later, they passed through the corridor and emerged from the ground.

Kylie’s sudden appearance frightened many of the people in the cave. They thought that a monster had broken in. Soon after, they saw two people sitting on the monster’s back.

“That’s such a strange mount. It is a humanoid monster and it looks like a girl. Yes, it seems like she has a nice body…” A man with a wretched appearance mumbled in a low voice.

Kylie gradually landed on the ground when they were a certain distance away from the cave. Lin Huang then recalled Kylie and summoned the Dimensional Portal. He then set the location to Luoxi City where he had been and strode over with Lin Xin.

The Meteorite Desert would be his final destination where a double mutated sword type monster existed. Also, it was also the isolated place where the presence of the Starlight Beast was detected as well as the place that Lin Huang had chosen to unseal Charcoal.

Chapter 425: Arriving at Luoxi City Again

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Luoxi City was situated north to the C-grade foothold in Divison7. Lin Huang had been there to hunt the brain eater and had bought the quick-frozen cake at Luoxi City before.

Looking at the time, it was already slightly after four in the afternoon.

“The foothold looks desolate…” Lin Xin looked around and said. She could recognize it as a C-grade foothold. However, it was no longer as prosperous as it used to be.

“This is Luoxi City. It is located north to Divison7 which is also one of the footholds nearest to northwest area,” Lin Huang explained. The economy of a border city will normally be bad since it was too far away from the city. The tourism was unsustainable.

“Do you still remember the quick-frozen cake that I gave you?”

Lin Xin immediately nodded her head as she could still clearly remember how delicious the cake was.

“The main outlet of that quick-frozen cake is here.” Lin Huang said with a smile.

“Is that true?!” Lin Xin was excited the moment she heard this.

“Yes, I’ll bring you to the cake shop later. Let’s walk around and look for a hotel now.” Lin Huang was not in a hurry to hunt monsters as Lin Xin was tired. Also, Lancelot had completed the unsealing process for two monsters. There was only one monster left and he was finally able to relax. He would start his journey tomorrow morning.

Lin Huang then brought along Lin Xin and checked in into a hotel. They walked out from the hotel, riding on the Viridian Wolf and headed towards the cake shop.

Arriving at the cake shop, Lin Xin, who was initially tired, felt more energized. Other than buying 100 quick-frozen cakes, Lin Xin had also chosen many of the desserts. She had never tried some of them before. There were also desserts that she had never eaten before. The desserts looked delicious. Since Lin Huang was not short of money, she bought them all. It seemed like half of the food sold in the shop were bought by Lin Huang and Lin Xin.

After buying the desserts, both of them then walked along the business street. When it was almost 6 p.m, both of them looked for a restaurant selling spicy hotpot for dinner. Ever since Lin Xin had been to Jinchuan, she was in love with spicy food.

It was already 7 p.m when they returned to the hotel. In the living room, Lin Huang sat on the sofa. He browsed through the Hunter Forum and posted a message on the reward board using an anonymous account.

“I’ll offer a reward of 5,000 Life Crystals to look for the Undead Evil Child. Anyone who has the location of the monster, please contact me.”

It seemed like 5,000 Life Crystals were just a small amount of money. However, it was sufficient to buy a 3-star relic. Furthermore, Lin Huang only requested for the location of the monster.

Despite the Undead Evil Child being rare, the monsters were scattered around. The people had discovered them at many places before. This piece of information meant nothing to the discoverers as it was unlikely that people would hunt for the Undead Evil Child as the monsters were immortal.

In less than two minutes after Lin Huang posted the message, he received a personal message. He was surprised and opened it. It was sent by an anonymous hunter.

“I have the location that you are looking for. It was discovered two months ago. Let’s trade if you need it. Trading account: 93X24X11.”

“How can that be so fast?” Lin Huang frowned and immediately proceeded with the transaction.

He then searched for the account number of the anonymous who had already selected the preferred transaction method. The due date of the transaction was one month from today. Lin Huang had to visit the location specified within one month in order to verify the presence of the target monster. Upon confirmation, only then would the information provider be able to receive the money. If it were not confirmed within one month, the money would be automatically transferred to the other party’s account. Of course, before all this happened, Lin Huang had to authorize the Emperor’s Heart Ring to carry out the transaction before the Life Crystals could be deducted from his account by the Hunter Network.

If the target monster did not appear at the specific location within one month, he could apply to cancel the transaction from the Hunter Association. At the same time, he could file a complaint against the person who had provided false information and the people from the Hunter Association would investigate it. Once it was confirmed, the user would be blacklisted by Hunter Association as well as the cooperative organization. Therefore, one would normally not provide fake information as they would have to pay for it.

Lin Huang was never worried that he would receive false information from the Hunter Association. Instead, he was worried that there would be organizations from the black market that spread fake news whereby they would swindle him out of money. This was also the reason why whenever Lin Huang posted a message on the black market, the transaction would be done face-to-face. Normally, the organizations that spread false information dared not show up as they were afraid that they would be killed. Only a few of them from the underworld were friendly. It was normal for them to kill the person who offended them.

Upon confirming the transaction, the location was quickly sent to him.

Lin Huang glanced at it. “Sandy Land? Isn’t it somewhere near Baqi City?”

Sandy Land was a level-4 wilderness area. Previously, it was a danger zone. As it was too near to the human foothold, the Transcendent monsters existing there were all killed.

Although Sandy Land was near to Baqi City, it was actually nearer to Fatty’s old house. The distance was less than 800 kilometers. Lin Huang would never expect the Undead Evil Child to appear at such a place.

“After I’ve settled everything here, I’ll go there. I wonder how’s the situation in Fatty’s hotel.” It had been more than half a month since Fatty’s funeral ceremony. Lin Huang was paying close attention to news of Ke Lai Hotel. He had been waiting for the opportunity to purchase the retail chain as it was Fatty’s last will. However, there was no rumor from the Yi family that the hotel was available for sale. Lin Huang was going to visit them and ask the old lady about that.

Without the support of Fatty’s father and Fatty, the hotel needed a transformation. Otherwise, it could no longer operate. However, none of them from Fatty’s family knew about this. If they decided not to sell it, perhaps the hotel would continue operating in the classic model. If that happened, they would suffer a great loss.

Lin Huang then shut the Hunter Forum screen. He shook his head and snapped himself out of his thoughts. He took a wooden knife and headed towards the training room.

Lin Huang deliberately chose a hotel under the Hunter Association as they would be responsible for any damages or losses. It was not because Lin Huang wanted to take advantage of the Hunter Association, but it could save him some trouble instead. If the training room were damaged, he would only have to inform them about it. Otherwise, he would probably have to spend a few hours communicating with the person-in-charge and discussing the compensation for the damage caused. Lin Huang had no time for that.

Lin Huang had completed the learning of the Star Dome. He was no longer practicing the Star Dome in the training room. It was the Great Sword Scripture that he was now focusing on instead. He began reintegrating all the sword skills that he had learned before.

As soon as he had mastered the Star Dome, he felt that he had some new understandings about his sword skill training and his sword power had been improving.

Soon, a few hours had passed.

At midnight, Lin Huang then retracted his sword. He was quite satisfied with the training of his sword skill. “I’ll probably need three to four days to complete the integration of the Great Sword Scripture. The same goes for the rest of the sword skills. With my current progress, my Dao of the Sword will be further improved when the integration is about to be completed.”

Chapter 426: Sword Dominator

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The last unsealing servant chosen by Lin Huang for Lancelot was the Sword Dominator. Sword Dominator was a pseudo-fairy, humanoid monster.

The monster’s strongest power was its ability to manipulate swords. It was said to be capable of dominating 3,000 swords at the same time and its attack skills were incredibly ruthless.

When Lin Huang saw the skills on the monster guide for the first time, it reminded him of the sword mastery skill in the supernatural genre of novels.

According to one of such novels, there was a sage in the sky. Thousands of swords then appeared when he extended his hand, transforming them into sword rain and his enemies were engulfed. The scene was incredible as he thought of it. Perhaps it was the reason why the authors of various supernatural novels and fantasy novels enjoyed writing about sword skills.

The Sword Dominator was discovered deep in the Meteorite Desert. It was approximately 2,200 kilometers away from the northwest of the city. It was in the same direction as where the Starlight Beast was; both of them were less than 600 kilometers apart.

At 8 a.m, Lin Huang then summoned Thunder after having his breakfast. Lin Huang and Lin Xin headed towards the place where the Sword Dominator was.

Lin Huang was not worried that it would secretly attack him as it leaned more towards attacking its opponent face-to-face. Therefore, they continued moving forward, and Lin Huang guided Lin Xin.

Sitting on Thunder’s back, he sighed emotionally while looking at the desert that he was familiar with. He had lived in the desert for several days when he was looking for the Starlight Beast. It was the place where he met Liang Qian, who had lost her teammates. He witnessed how cruel the Saint members were, and he had even killed two of them.

It was Lin Xin’s first time visiting a desert. Looking at the vast, endless golden sand, she was excited. She could not stop oohing over how beautiful it was. “It’s so lovely! It must be amazing watching the sunrise, sunset, and even the stars over here…”

Lin Huang twitched his mouth. That was merely what she saw. The Meteorite Desert was similar to the Shadow Land as both of them were moderate danger zones. There were seven known Transcendent monsters, and there might even be immortal-level monsters around. There were a large number of Transcendent monsters on the spacious ground, many of which were hiding underground and could be hardly seen by the naked eye. Without considering the monsters, the difference in temperature between daytime and nighttime alone was fatal to ordinary people. However, Lin Xin knew nothing about that.

“This desert is called Meteorite Desert. You may check out this place with your Emperor’s Heart Ring, and you’ll know where you’re at.” Lin Huang eventually interrupted her beautiful fantasy as she was talking incessantly.

Lin Xin was curious and connected to the network with her Emperor’s Heart Ring. A few moments later, she was no longer excited. She was just trying her luck and asked, “Is this desert really that dangerous?”

“In fact, it will actually be more dangerous than what was mentioned on the network. It’s the same as the Shadow Land where we were yesterday. Both of them are moderate danger zones. Even a Gold Hunter can possibly die here, and a Silver Hunter definitely won’t step foot in here.” Lin Huang nodded his head. “If you’re becoming a hunter in the future, you can’t judge a place by its appearance and let your guard down. You have to prepare yourself before going to a place that you’re unfamiliar with and take the worst-case scenarios into consideration. That’s the only way you won’t panic when danger comes to you.”

Lin Huang was behaving like a teacher, dishing out advice. Lin Xin was always obedient and she nodded.

More than an hour had passed. Thunder had finally arrived at the place where the Sword Dominator was discovered. It gradually descended from the sky while flapping its wings.

The area was an oasis. As soon as Lin Huang and Lin Xin reached the ground, they could smell the scent of flowers.

“It’s so fragrant!” Lin Xin looked around as she wanted to know where the smell was coming from.

Soon, she saw a tree with a white flower which was the size of a human brain. The flower bloomed beautifully.

While she was about to move a step forward, Lin Huang immediately grabbed her arm.

“It is the Scented Ent, a type of demon. It will release a unique scent so the creatures will mistakenly identify it as their favorite scent. It will then lure the creatures and kill them. The beautiful white flower is actually its brain. It can reach up to a meter long in diameter. Its brain will eat even a monster the size of Tyrant.”

Lin Xin was horrified and immediately retreated. She secretly glanced at the big tree with the white flower and no longer dared to look at it after that. She would never expect that such a terrifying monster would exist in this green and peaceful world.

“Let’s go.”

Lin Huang was not scaring Lin Xin intentionally. The Scented Ent had a height of more than 30 meters and its combat level was the same as Lin Huang. Both of them were on gold-level rank-3 as well. Any monsters ranking below Transcendent would be killed if they approached it.

Recalling Thunder, Lin Huang summoned Lancelot again. As soon as his instruction was received, Lancelot followed after the both of them, taking up the responsibility as a guardian.

Lin Huang was leading Lin Xin, and the both of them then headed towards the location where the Sword Dominator had been discovered previously.

The open space where Thunder landed was only about hundreds of meters away from the location. With its body size, it was quite difficult for it to land on the ground.

The trio then continued moving forward and soon, the gurgling sound of the flowing stream got nearer. Right after they arrived at their destination, they then found out that it was actually a waterfall.

The waterfall was more than 20 meters tall with a width of more than 10 meters. There was a torrential downpour, cascading down into a pool that was 10 meters away from the waterfall.

Lin Huang slightly shifted his body while sizing up the surroundings. He then lowered his head and looked at the location set on his Emperor’s Heart Ring. He slightly frowned as he looked at the waterfall, mumbling to himself, “There’s nothing wrong with the location on the Emperor’s Heart Ring…”

“Brother, what’s happened?” Lin Xin asked curiously.

“Nothing.” Lin Huang shook his head and summoned Kylie again. He then instructed, “Kylie, please protect Lin Xin. Lancelot and I will have a look at the waterfall.”

Lin Huang reacted in such a way because according to the location provided, the Sword Dominator was inside the waterfall. However, there was no through road.

Lin Huang felt strange at the beginning. Soon, he realized that there might be a cave behind the waterfall. The Sword Dominator might be hiding inside the cave.

Upon confirming that, Lin Huang then took a leap and walked towards the waterfall. He plunged into the waterfall. Lancelot then followed after him.

Chapter 427: Lin Huang’s Attack

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Passing through the waterfall, Lin Huang found out that there was indeed a cave over there. The cave must have been naturally formed as the surface of the wall was smooth as if it was the result of being exposed to the scouring of the stream of water over a prolonged period of time. The cave was about 10 meters high with stalactites that looked like bamboo shoots hanging from the roof of the cave.

Lin Huang was checking out the surroundings, and soon, Lancelot followed after them and entered the cave. Similar to Lin Huang, its body was clean as well.

Before entering the cave, it saw that Lin Huang had formed an umbrella with his Dark Shield. It followed suit, creating an umbrella with his Dark Shield to block himself the flowing water of the waterfall. Despite the Dark Shield being a skill extracted from Lancelot, Lin Huang managed to use it more efficiently than Lancelot did.

Right when Lancelot entered the cave, two beams of light flashed through the sky, aiming towards Lin Huang and Lancelot. Lin Huang had already noticed it before the beam of light arrived in his Micro Territory. He quietly grabbed a 5-star relic in his hand. The moment when the two beams of light entered his territory, he brandished his sword, and the glows disappeared at almost the same time.

By the time Lancelot reacted to the beams of light, it had no more change to fight.

“Come out. There’s no need to hide anymore.” Through the trial attack, Lin Huang knew that the ability of Sword Dominator was not much stronger than an ordinary double mutated white flame-level monster.

The Sword Dominator knew that its sneak attack was rendered useless, so it no longer bothered sneaking up on Lin Huang and slowly walked towards him.

Lin Huang could then see how the Sword Dominator really looked like. There was not much difference between it and a human. It had a white beard and white hair and was dressed in a white robe as well. It was a sage. However, its skin was somewhat different from an old man’s as it had the skin of someone in his twenties. There were no wrinkles and was even smoother and fairer than most teenage girls. In addition to its unique character, it would attract many girls if it had its white beard shaved.

The only difference was that on its head, a thumb-sized light blue crystal in the shape of a diamond was set.

“You’re indeed a pseudo-fairy that possesses fairy blood. You’re kind of unique,” Lin Huang mumbled. He felt that it was a fairy that remained aloof from the world. He did not want to kill it.

At this moment, Lancelot reacted. It transformed into a black shadow, leaving a faint black mist in its original position.

“He’s really bad-tempered…” He was speechless, seeing Lancelot acting impulsively.

The Sword Dominator was originally checking Lin Huang out as it could sense that Lin Huang was exuding an intimidating aura. However, just when Lancelot moved, it shifted its gaze towards Lancelot.

It lifted its right hand, pointing at Lancelot with two of its fingers. Several long swords immediately formed and dashed towards Lancelot.

Lin Huang did not join in the battle. Instead, he was looking on as an outsider. He was interested in Lancelot’s sword manipulation skill as well and now had the chance to observe its skill.

“The speed of forming the long sword is incredibly fast. It was formed in an instant! Furthermore, it looks like it is an actual weapon instead of a sword that has been created with Life Power. It requires a lot of time to create a fine sword like this using Life Power. One won’t be able to achieve such a speed even through practice. It must be somewhat similar to the bloody wings of a vampire. It consumes a relatively low amount of Life Power where it is mainly supported by skills. Otherwise, it will be unable to summon 3,000 long swords at the same time…”

“Its attack speed and strength are slightly stronger than a gunmaster of the same level since it is a monster that has gone through its second mutation. However, compared to the gunmaster, there’s something good about its attack skills. It doesn’t need to move as the angle of attack can be simply changed. It’s capable of performing a 360-degree attack whereby it manages to attack anywhere on its opponent’s body. Its long sword is different from the Life Power bullets of a gunmaster. It can repeatedly be used, provided that it isn’t damaged. Furthermore, it changes its trajectory path as it pleases. Therefore, it is hardly predictable. On the contrary, the bullets of the gunmaster can no longer be controlled after they’re fired out of the bore of a gun…”

Watching the battle between them, Lin Huang then analyzed the skills of the Sword Dominator.

In the karst cave, the battle between Lancelot and Sword Dominator became more intense. It was obvious that Lancelot was completely pinned down by the Sword Dominator.

Since Lancelot was only a complete-gold level, its attack meant nothing to the Sword Dominator. Each time it struck an attack with its sword, it only managed to block the hit by the Sword Dominator’s long sword. It had no way to break its sword completely.

The Sword Dominator’s swords were still perfectly fine, and it constantly added the number of swords. The number of swords had increased, and the angles of attack became more difficult to handle.

If Lancelot did not rely on his Death Zone and his acute senses, perhaps he would have been long defeated.

As the number of swords was increasing, Lancelot, who was originally defending himself with its sword, was forced to activate his Dark Shield to defend against its opponent’s attack.

Lin Huang knew that it was impossible for Lancelot to defeat it when he saw this. Lancelot’s normal offense was too weak. It was incapable of destroying its opponent’s long sword, resulting in an increase in the number of swords. Eventually, the Sword Dominator became invincible.

Despite Lancelot summoning the Dark Shield to protect itself, he had no way to launch an attack. He could only defend passively, and of course, he would not be able to win the fight.

The result of the fight was obvious, and it was meaningless for the battle to continue. Lin Huang finally decided to join the fight. Activating his Seraphic Speed and Thunder Steps, he lunged towards the Sword Dominator like a flash of lightning.

When the Sword Dominator sensed Lin Huang’s movement, it immediately gave up fighting Lancelot and shifted more than 100 of the long swords that it had just summoned towards Lin Huang.

More than hundreds of long swords struck Lin Huang in all directions akin to torrential rain. Lin Huang did not dodge at all. Instead, he grinned.

In just a short while, the long swords approached him. Right this moment, Lin Huang accelerated abruptly, streaking across the sky. He then escaped from the swords that surrounded him.

Before the Sword Dominator could react to it, Lin Huang appeared in front of him. The 5-star sword relic pierced through its waist at a speed that was even faster than the speed of sound. The Sword Dominator could no longer escape when it was caught by the sword.

Right at this moment, nine swords as large as doorways instantly formed and appeared in front of the Sword Dominator, blocking Lin Huang’s attack.

Bang!

The blades of the battle sword and the large sword collided. A loud explosive noise was heard.

A few moments later, a cracking sound was heard. The door-sized swords splintered into pieces and soon, they collapsed.

It seemed like they had been infected by a virus as the first sword right up to the eighth sword collapsed simultaneously.

A cracking sound was heard again. Still, cracks appeared on the blade of the ninth sword. A flicker of fear flashed through the Sword Dominator’s eyes…

Chapter 428: 3000 Sword Rain

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The suddenly created door-sized big swords formed by Lin Huang’s opponent were indeed out of his expectation. However, he did not hesitate and made an attack.

Right when his battle sword collided with its big sword, eight out of nine swords were broken into pieces and cracks appeared on the ninth sword as well. However, it did not collapse.

Seeing this to happen, Sword Dominator was upset. Soon after, an immense strength came from the blade of its sword. Its body and its last sword dashed towards Lin Huang like a softball being hit.

A few moments later, it crashed into the wall of the cave.

“Bang…”

The wall of the cave rapidly collapsed and the cracks began spreading everywhere. The natural cave could no longer bear the immense force generated and eventually collapsed.

Water started gushing from the waterfall.

Lin Huang then immediately stomped the ground and leaped out of the waterfall. Lancelot followed after him.

Since both of them could not fly, it would be a drawback to them if they were being drawn into the waterfall. Escaping from the area would be their only choice.

However, Lin Huang knew that Sword Dominator managed to defend against the attack with a large amount of its Life Power. Sword Dominator would definitely survive.

The sound of an explosion was heard by Lin Xin and Kylie. They were standing somewhere near the waterfall. Soon after, a loud explosive noise was heard again and the waterfall collapsed.

Two figures then appeared next to Lin Xin when they were worried about them.

Seeing Lin Huang was safe, Lin Xin was relieved.

Lin Huang and Lancelot turned their back on Lin Xin and looked towards the waterfall.

All of a sudden, a white shadow appeared out of the waterfall. In fact, Sword Dominator was not dead. It was not injured as well.

Sword Dominator who was hanging mid-air looked towards four of them. Hundreds of long swords were surrounding it, preparing for the fight.

It shifted its gaze towards Lin Huang in the first place as it was nearly killed by him. It had fear in Lin Huang.

Soon after, it noticed the presence of Kylie. It could not ignore the aura released by the white flame-level.

After sizing up Lin Huang and Kylie, it was then determined, pointing its fingers at four of them.

Hundreds of long swords that resembled meteorites were about to strike four of them.

Right that moment when the long swords arrived at Lin Huang’s Micro Territory, Lin Huang took a step forward and brandished his sword.

Lancelot wanted to help out as well. However, when it thought it was unable to destroy the opponent’s long sword, it gave up.

In mid-air, the long swords that fell into Lin Huang’s Micro Territory were destroyed when they were attacked by Lin Huang in the air. Regardless of which angle the swords were coming from, none of them could escape from Lin Huang’s attack. Not even a single sword managed to approach Lin Huang at a distance of 80 meters.

Seeing the attacks launched by the white-robed monster lingering mid-air were destroyed by Lin Huang in a few seconds, it was the first time Lin Xin realized that her brother was way stronger than she thought.

The Sword Dominator in mid-air was shocked. It did not notice that Lin Huang possessed a territory earlier and it only discovered it now. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to destroy all its long swords from everywhere in the air.

A person who possessed a territory was capable of restraining monsters like Sword Dominator to some extent. It was because regardless of how tricky the attack was, one would not have to care where the attack was coming from as the territory would be able to detect it on its own. Furthermore, the attack range of a person who possessed a territory could cover up to the entire region. Therefore, Lin Huang could easily destroy all the long swords in the air.

As soon as all the long swords were destroyed, Lin Huang stood up and looked at the Sword Dominator in mid-air. He then tried to provoke it with his offensive hand gesture, “Come on. Bring it on.”

“Do you want to die!?”

A transcendent monster that had gone through its second mutation would normally know the human language as long as they had contacted humans before. A monster with higher intelligence could even speak human language. The offensive gesture and body language were not difficult for them to understand.

Without a doubt, Lin Huang’s offensive gesture had stimulated Sword Dominator.

A delicately made white scabbard suddenly appeared in Sword Dominator’s hand. Its white Life Power was being inserted into the scabbard. White glows then gushed out of the scabbard and a long sword was rapidly formed in the air.

In just a blink of an eye, thousands of long swords were formed. However, it was not the end. The white scabbard did not stop making new swords.

Lin Huang felt that it was interesting and looked at the scabbard. He guessed that it must be a relic that Sword Dominator was gifted with and it was exclusively made for Sword Dominator. The rest would be unable to use it. Otherwise, the people would kill all the Sword Dominator in this world in order to obtain the scabbard.

“I wonder if Lancelot is unsealed, can the skill of a sword servant be extracted…” Lin Huang mumbled.

“Sword servant is a unique card where its skills cannot be extracted. However, as soon as Ruthless Sword Master is unsealed, you are allowed to use any of the skills of its sword servant.”

A notification from Xiao Hei was heard. Lin Huang was just mumbling. He did not know that Xiao Hei would give such a reply. Although the first sentence was disappointing, his eyes brightened and looked at Lancelot as soon as he heard the last sentence.

“A double mutated monster possesses at least five skills. Lancelot has nine sword servants. This indicates that there will be more than 40 of skills available for use. In addition to the skill it has, there will be about 50 of them… It is an ULTIMATE BOSS!”

Lin Huang currently had about 10 of the monster skills. Even if the human combat skills that he had learned from the association were included, there were less than 20 of them. He was incredibly strong now and it seemed like nobody of the same level could fight him.

Once Lancelot was unsealed, the number of skills would be more than twice the skill that Lin Huang currently possessed. Lin Huang then knew that he had underestimated Lancelot’s ability. He was excited. He felt lucky that he did not simply choose nine sword type monsters for Lancelot as sword servant to avoid getting into trouble.

When Lin Huang was not aware of it, Sword Dominator had already released more than 3,300 long swords in the air.

This had proven that Sword Dominator’s ultimate skill was more than 3,000 swords as mentioned in the monster guide. To be exact, there were 3,333 of them.

This attack had depleted Sword Dominator’s Life Power. He could barely float in the air now.

3,333 swords were formed. Sword Dominator was holding the scabbard and pointed at four of them. A voice with a terrifying intent to kill was heard.

“3000 Sword Rain!”

Chapter 429: Defeating The Sword Dominator

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In mid-air, the Sword Dominator’s white robe was flapping around in the wind. It looked like a humanoid fairy.

With the scabbard that it was holding, it pointed into the air and soon, 3,333 long swords surrounding it raced towards Lin Huang and the rest, resembling a torrential downpour.

Lin Huang gazed at the attack and was excited. Under normal circumstances, it would be best to activate his Dark Shield in order to dodge such an attack. However, Lin Huang attempted to break the attack with his sword skill.

“Activate your Dark Shield so that you can protect Lin Xin and the rest.”

Lin Huang leaped as soon as he contacted Lancelot with his mind.

Lancelot retreated next to Lin Xin and activated its Dark Shield. It then transformed into a ball, and Lin Xin and Kylie were enveloped by the Dark Shield.

Thousands of streaks that resembled meteorites in the sky struck them and fell into Lin Huang’s territory in an instant.

Lin Huang’s eyes turned red abruptly. Four bloody wings then extended out of his back, switching into sword blade mode. The 5-star Dragon Slayer in his hand was completely shrouded in golden Life Power and soon, he disappeared from his original position.

Four of the bloody wings and his Dragon Slayer seemed to move at the same time. Their speed was so fast as cuts formed in the air. All of the long swords were broken into pieces right when they collided with each other, producing a thunderous sound in the air.

Despite Lin Huang not achieving holy fire-level yet, he was engaged in a holy fire-level battle. The remaining energy resulting from the collision could cause those on gold-level to be severely injured.

Luckily, thanks to Lancelot’s Dark Shield which was extremely strong in defense strength, despite Lin Xin being just an ordinary person, she was not affected.

However, she could no longer capture Lin Huang’s movement. She could vaguely see that there were glows that looked like thunder flashes striking down from mid-air. Of course, it was because Lancelot had activated the observation mode of its Dark Shield which enabled her to look through it.

Outside the Dark Shield, the battle between Lin Huang and the Sword Dominator intensified. In an instant, the Sword Dominator’s hundreds of swords were destroyed by Lin Huang.

Loud thuds were heard, and the frequency was akin to that when firecrackers were lit during the Chinese New Year on Earth. The airflow resulting from the collision hit the surface of the lake like rain. Ripples were formed, spreading wider and wider.

The trees that were a few kilometers away from them were instantly crushed into powder due to the powerful airflow. A barren area where no plants could survive suddenly appeared in the green oasis.

Initially, Lin Huang had kept a distance from the long swords. However, he soon realized that there were a large number of long swords and he had to move his body to avoid the attacks.

More than 3,000 of the long swords produced were apparently tougher than their predecessors. Besides, the attack speed and strength were stronger as well, so they were comparable to the crimson flame-level.

During the fight with Lancelot, with the Sword Dominator’s current condition, Lancelot could not even block a single sword without the use of the Dark Shield.

On the ground, Lin Huang activated his Seraphic Speed and Cloud Steps simultaneously. He then moved his body quickly while dodging his opponent’s swords. Despite his territory being capable of detecting his opponent’s attack, due to the great number of sword attacks, some of the attacks somehow managed to break through Lin Huang’s sword defense. Therefore, Lin Huang was forced to evade those attacks.

Despite Lin Huang seeming to avoid the attacks passively, the number of his opponent’s long swords was decreasing every second. None of the attacks hit him, and still, he insisted on not activating the Dark Shield.

As the swords collided with each other, explosive sounds were constantly heard throughout the area. The sand and rocks surrounding Lin Huang were all stirred up as if the region was being swept away by a tornado.

The long sword in his hand and the Vampire Particles on his back then transformed into swords and advanced. Soon after, Lin Huang’s Thunder Sting integrated with his Star Dome. The speed of integration was countless times faster than the usual speed he could execute during practice.

Lin Huang did not realize all these. He could vaguely feel that the movement of his sword skill had become rather smooth and the speed of his attack was getting faster as well.

All of a sudden, two notifications from Xiao Hei arrived.

“Congratulations, your epic-level sword skill ‘Thunder Sting’ has completely integrated with the legendary-level sword skill ‘Star Dome’. It is now part of the sword skill ‘Star Dome’!

“Congratulations, Sword Power Realm has leveled up from consonance to illumination! The qualification and potential of Sword Power Realm have been upgraded! The power of your sword skills has improved!”

Lin Huang did not care about the notifications received as he had all his attention focused on the battle with the thousands of long swords. He did not even regard the notification from Xiao Hei as well as the changes in his body.

However, the Sword Dominator that was hanging mid-air could feel that something was wrong. It sensed that the attack speed of its opponent was getting faster and he had managed to destroy thousands of swords in a few seconds. It panicked, manipulating the remaining long swords from various angles and hurling them towards Lin Huang.

Lin Huang’s courage mounted as the battle progressed. In addition to the number of swords reducing and his extraordinary body condition, he no longer had to duck the attacks. Regardless of the angles of the attack, he was capable of destroying them. His battle sword and the Vampire Particles attacked at a frequency of about 100 times per second, and he managed to destroy a sword during each collision.

The situation had gotten worse. The Sword Dominator stared at the Dark Shield activated by Lancelot furiously.

Hundreds of swords immediately shifted their trajectory path and headed towards the ball of Dark Shield.

It was a very unwise move as it knew nothing about the characteristic of the Dark Shield. It thought that Lancelot was way weaker than itself and therefore, Lancelot had become its target.

The power of Lancelot’s forbidden skill, Absolute Kill, was on par with the attack launched by the crimson flame-level at full force. Its Dark Shield was almost capable of defending against the attack by a blue flame-level. As long as the attack power did not exceed the Dark Shield’s defensive ability, it would not collapse.

Therefore, the Sword Dominator’s attack was rendered useless.

In less than ten seconds after it made such a decision, the 3,333 long swords were all destroyed by Lin Huang.

Seeing all the long swords destroyed, the Sword Dominator was stunned. As soon as it recovered from its shock, it wanted to flee. However, its Life Power had been drained, and it could no longer fight.

Right at this moment, a golden silhouette that was even faster than the Sword Dominator appeared and blocked its way.

Impressively, the golden shadow was Kylie.

Kylie could see that the Sword Dominator had used up its Life Power. She did not use her long spear and struck a blow on its chest with her fist instead. The Sword Dominator’s body instantly fell to the ground near Lin Huang.

Lancelot immediately removed the Dark Shield and appeared in front of the Sword Dominator in a flash. However, it was then stopped.

“Wait a minute! Don’t kill it!” Surprisingly, the one who said this was Lin Huang.

Chapter 430: Unsealing The Ruthless Sword Master

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Huang slowly exited the battle and retracted his battle sword. The red color in his eyes and the four bloody wings on his back had disappeared.

The reason why he had stopped the battle was that Lancelot’s unsealing would create an illusion. There had to be the presence of immortal-level monsters in the moderate danger zone, and they would be in great trouble if they caught the immortal-level monster’s attention.

When Bai had been unsealed in the Volcano Hell, it had attracted many of the powerful monsters’ attention, and there was even an outbreak of a monster attack. Lin Huang did not want this to happen again.

He had it planned earlier whereby the Sword Dominator was chosen as the last monster to hunt. It was because there was the independent space of the Starlight Beast in the Meteorite Desert. As long as the Sword Dominator could be caught alive and was brought into the independent space before killing it, the illusion created during unsealing would appear there. The rest of the strong monsters would not discover it as well.

Lin Huang’s initial plan was to defeat the Sword Dominator and he would then summon the Sanguine Skeletal Spirit to seal it before bringing it away. However, it seemed like sealing was not required as the Sword Dominator had used up its own Life Power.

“Lancelot, don’t kill it first. The illusion of unsealing might appear. Let’s go into the independent space first.” Lin Huang tapped Lancelot on its shoulder.

Despite it feeling like it could no longer wait, still, it had to bear with it.

Lin Huang then turned back and looked at Kylie. “Kylie, bring it to the independent space of the Starlight Beast and look after it. I’ll go there with Thunder later.”

Kylie then grabbed the Sword Dominator’s arm and flew up into the sky, heading towards the independent space of the Starlight Beast. She was familiar with the desert.

Lin Huang then summoned Thunder. After thinking twice, he decided not to recall Lancelot. The three of them then headed towards the independent space.

The place where the Sword Dominator was hidden at was less than 600 kilometers away from the oasis where the Starlight Beast’s independent space was located.

Thunder took less than 20 minutes to arrive in the sky above the independent space along with three of them.

“Go down!” Lin Huang instructed and at the same time, his Dark Shield was activated, and Lin Xin’s body was shrouded in it.

A few moments later, Thunder dove into the lake.

After a short while, they then passed through the Dimensional Portal and arrived at the place where Starlight Beast lived.

Kylie was waiting for Lin Huang and the rest at the entrance. The Sword Dominator looked more pitiful than before. Perhaps it had attempted to run away, so Kylie had hit it. Originally, its ability was on par with Kylie. However, it had no Life Power now, and it could not perform any skills at all. It could only endure its impending doom.

“Let’s go deeper in. We’re too near to the entrance.” Lin Huang was still worried as he was afraid that the aura might be released outside.

Kylie then grabbed the Sword Dominator in her hand and went deeper in. Thunder flapped its wings and followed after them as well.

After about half an hour, they were now at a place close to 1,000 kilometers away from the entrance. Thunder eventually descended.

Kylie stood still while waiting. She then turned her head back and looked at Lin Huang as if she was stating, “It should be fine now that we’re now away from the entrance at this distance.”

Lin Huang then nodded in approval. “We’re far enough.”

He then leaped from Thunder’s back and walked towards Lancelot and the Sword Dominator. The black sword in Lancelot’s hand immediately penetrated through the right side of its chest and pierced right into its heart without mercy.

It was incapable of defending against Lancelot’s attack without the protection of Life Power despite it being so powerful. The strength of Lancelot’s attack was comparable to the white flame-level.

The black sword seemed to have penetrated through its body without any obstacles.

Lin Huang turned back and glanced at Lin Xin. He was afraid that she was not used to seeing such a scene. However, Lin Xin was calm, her gaze fixed on the scene.

He was startled. However, soon, Lin Huang felt relieved. Perhaps Lin Xin had witnessed countless bloody scenes that were even worse than this in the Gun Master game.

“Brother, why did Lancelot pierce through the right side of its chest? Isn’t it its heart is on the left?” Lin Xin noticed that Lin Huang was looking at her and asked softly.

“The heart of the Sword Dominator is on the right,” Lin Huang explained with a smile. “The position of the heart of different monsters varies.”

Right at that moment, the Sword Dominator was dying, and soon after, a notification from Xiao Hei arrived.

“Congratulations, you have obtained a new epic-level monster card — Sword Dominator (sword servant).”

A white beam of light that resembled a spotlight then shone on Lancelot.

Lancelot’s body gradually floated up in the sky as if it was attracted by the white glow and was no longer restricted by gravitational force.

Lin Huang and the rest retreated as they were afraid that they would affect Lancelot’s unsealing.

The only thing that was different from Bai’s unsealing was that it seemed like there were no changes in Lancelot’s body. Instead, its aura was getting stronger and stronger. In just a few minutes, it had leveled up from complete gold-level to white flame-level.

In just a short while, the white glow disappeared, and Lancelot’s body gradually descended from mid-air. A few notifications then arrived.

“Congratulations, you have unsealed your epic-level Ruthless Sword Master (Lancelot) card, and it has been upgraded to white flame-level.”

“The hidden conditions to unsealing have not been completed. The Ruthless Sword Master is unable to upgrade to a legendary-level card.”

“Congratulations, the Ruthless Sword Master has received a new skill, Sword Master.”

Lin Huang immediately tapped open to check Lancelot’s new state.

“Monster Card

 

“Rarity: Epic

 

“Monster Name: Ruthless Sword Master

 

“Combat Level: White Flame-Level

 

“Skill 1: Absolute Life

 

“Skill 2: Sword Steps

 

“Skill 3: Ruthless Sword

 

“Skill 4: Dark Sword Spirit

 

“Skill 5: Dark Shield

 

“Skill 6: Death Zone (Beginner)

 

“Skill 7: Sword Master

 

“Summon Authority: Activated

 

“Card Remarks: Trainable

 

…

 

“Sword Master: Capable of controlling nine sword servants and the skills of any of the sword servants can be used.

 

“Remark 1: The skills of the sword servants used by the sword master vary according to the power of the sword master. It has nothing to do with the combat strength of the sword servant.

 

“Remark 2: If the sword servant dies, it will not be revived. There will be a vacancy for a sword servant, and it can be replaced by a new sword servant.

 

“Remark 3: The maximum number of sword servants is nine.

 

“Remark 4: If the sword master dies, all the sword servants will die too.”

Seeing its new skills, Lin Huang realized that the status of a few of the sword servants had changed where their summoning authority had been activated.

Although he was happy, he was depressed to see one of Xiao Hei’s notifications.

“Xiao Hei, what do the hidden conditions mean?”

“It literally means the hidden conditions.”

“Do I really need to ask you to explain further about that? I’m asking about what the hidden conditions are,” Lin Huang continued asking.

“Since it’s a hidden condition, you have to find it out on your own. I can’t tell you the answer.”

“If you can’t tell me the answer, you can give me some hints.” Lin Huang was curious as he wanted to know what the hidden conditions were.

“I can’t.”

“It is now in an incomplete state. Why can’t you tell me? Is the hidden condition is still valid? If I achieve it later, the card will be upgraded?” Lin Huang guessed.

Xiao Hei remained silent.

Seeing Xiao Hei’s reaction, Lin Huang knew it.

“Alright, I’ve finally gotten this done after so many days. Both of you shall take a good rest.” Lin Huang gazed at Lancelot and Kylie, recalling them into their card forms. He then summoned Charcoal…

Chapter 431: Unlocking Charcoal

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Ruthless Sword Master’s unsealing did not cause a big stir. However, Lin Huang could vaguely feel that Charcoal’s unsealing would not be the same.

He had obtained the dracaena from the auction previously, and Yang Ling had unsealed his Emperor’s Heart Ring a few days later. He had taken out the dracaena from his ring, but he had yet to unseal Charcoal because he wanted to get to the independent space first.

Due to Charcoal’s appealing aura, it had not been summoned for a long period of time.

It gave Lin Huang a pitiful look when it was summoned as if it had suffered greatly.

“Alright, after the unsealing is completed, you’ll be able to cover your aura upon entering the adult stage. I’ll summon you in the future when there’s the need to do so.” Lin Huang touched Charcoal’s head and comforted it.

Charcoal immediately ducked its head and licked his face.

“Okay, stop playing. We have to get this done first. Let’s start unsealing!” Lin Huang took out a facial tissue and wiped his face. He could not stand Charcoal’s way of showing friendliness.

“Brother, is this a dragon?” Lin Xin’s weak voice was heard.

Charcoal then noticed that other than Thunder, which it was familiar with, there was a girl. It was curious and sized up Lin Xin.

Lin Xin was curious, sizing up Charcoal as well.

They then exchanged glances with each other.

“It’s my summoning monster. Its name is Charcoal,” Lin Huang introduced and turned back, looking at Charcoal. “Charcoal, she is my sister, Lin Xin.”

Listening to Lin Huang’s introduction, Charcoal then let down its guard.

“Can I touch it?” Lin Xin was excited and asked Lin Huang.

“Sure, it won’t bite.” Lin Huang nodded. He did not mention that it would just eat humans though.

“Come over. Charcoal, you can’t bite her.” Lin Huang then guided Charcoal, lowering its head to Lin Xin. He then put Lin Xin’s hand on Charcoal’s head.

Lin Xin touched its head. It was cold and had rough skin. Charcoal squinted as if it enjoyed being touched.

Lin Xin was excited and happy. She had never imagined that she would be able to meet such a creature. Although Lin Huang did not say that it was not an actual dragonkin, she was happy enough even if it was just a sky dragon.

After being touched for a while, Charcoal then moved his head and looked at Lin Huang again.

Lin Huang took out 12 dracaenas from his storage space. Each of the plants was the size of the palm of an adult. It was blood red and would turn crystal clear whenever sunlight shone on it. It did not look like a plant, but rather like a piece of hand-engraved art.

Charcoal was ecstatic. When Lin Huang was thinking about how the dracaena should be used, it extended its tongue, drawing all 12 of the dracaenas into its mouth and started munching on them.

“Xiao Hei, will eating all of them do?” Lin Huang immediately asked. He knew that in order for a sky dragon to upgrade to a dragonkin, they would have to eat the dracaena. However, it would only be effective if it ate a large number of dracaenas.

“Under normal circumstances, dracaena is used as a material to be integrated with a dragonkin monster card. However, eating the dracaena can activate the integration effect on the system as well.”

“Why will only eating a large number of dracaena for the dragonkin and sky dragons work? Is it because the rate of dracaena absorption is different?” Lin Huang doubted.

“The rate of absorption is only part of the reason. Direct consumption will indeed waste the blood divisor contained in the dracaena. Only 20% to 30% of that can be extracted whereas the extraction can go up to 100% through the system. However, this is not the main reason.

“The blood divisor of dracaena doesn’t only increase the concentration of dragon blood, but it acts as an activator as well. It is also the reason why some of the sky dragons can upgrade by eating a small amount of dracaena whereas some of them are unable to upgrade despite ingesting a large amount of dracaena. It is related to the monster’s body physique. Some of them are more sensitive to the dracaena. Thus, only a small amount of dracaena is required to activate the dragon blood and increase the concentration of blood divisor as well. Those that are less sensitive to the stimulation of dracaena can hardly be activated even after eating a large amount of dracaena. What the system does is to increase the activation effect to 100%.”

“Understand!” Lin Huang could finally understand the effect of dracaena.

After several bites, Charcoal realized that despite the smell of the dracaena being fine, it somehow tasted terrible. Knowing that it was for its own unsealing, it had no choice but to eat them all.

After a few moments, a white glow appeared from the sky and Charcoal was shrouded in it.

Lin Huang, Lin Xin, and Thunder then retreated a few steps back and moved aside. They waited patiently for Charcoal’s unsealing to be complete.

As soon as its body was enveloped by the white glow, black flames were released from Charcoal’s body as if they were all coming out from its pores. The black flames surrounded its body and it started to burn.

Lin Huang was stunned when he saw this happen.

Lin Xin immediately asked Lin Huang, “Will it be okay?”

“Don’t worry, that’s normal.”

While Lin Huang was hesitating, he heard Xiao Hei’s voice. He was then relieved.

“It’ll be fine,” he answered Lin Xin while shaking his head.

Charcoal’s aura was released slowly as it was surrounded by the flames. However, its body size was increasing quickly at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

Its body size had only been about five to six meters tall. However, in just a short while, its height was now more than ten meters.

Lin Huang pulled Lin Xin and Thunder further behind. Three of them retreated a few steps back again.

As time passed, Charcoal’s body was getting bigger and bigger. After about three hours, Charcoal’s body had expanded to 1,000 meters. It looked like a big mountain hanging in mid-air.

Although they could not see its face clearly since it was shrouded in flames, the monster that was originally cute had now become a ferocious beast.

Its body had finally stopped growing after reaching such a height. There were no more changes. However, its mighty aura was released.

Previously, when its body was growing, Lin Huang could feel that its aura had exceeded the limit of a complete gold-level and it had achieved white flame-level. He was not really powerful though. However, as soon as its body size was fixed, there was a drastic change in its aura.

At that moment, Lin Huang could sense what he had felt previously from the Supreme Overlord and Bai. It was undoubtedly powerful…

An intimidating force was released by Charcoal. Lin Huang immediately activated his Dark Shield, isolating the impact of the force from Lin Xin.

The tremendously terrifying force was fatal to Lin Xin. Even those on complete gold-level who encountered this energy would not be able to fight back. Of course, there was an exception for a genius like Lin Huang.

It lasted for only a few seconds and soon, it subsided. The white glow in the air had disappeared as well. The black flames surrounding Charcoal gradually ebbed, revealing Charcoal’s actual appearance after unsealing.

“How could it be so ugly after it has grown up?” Seeing Charcoal’s current look, Lin Huang sighed emotionally.

Charcoal had completely turned into a black, gigantic dragon beast that looked powerful and ferocious.

“Congratulations, you have unsealed your epic-level Undying Baby Dragon (Charcoal) card and it is upgraded to white flame-level.

“Congratulations, Undying Baby Dragon (Charcoal) has leveled up from beginner-level dragonkin to mid-level dragonkin!

“Congratulations, Undying Baby Dragon (Charcoal) has leveled up from epic-level card to legendary-level card!

“Congratulations, you have obtained a legendary-level monster card – Undead Evil Dragon (mid-level dragonkin)!

Before Lin Huang could check the information of Charcoal, a notification from Xiao Hei came again.

“As your authority is restricted, you cannot use a legendary-level monster card, and the monster card of Undead Evil Dragon is automatically sealed. It will be unsealed when you achieve holy fire-level and your authority will be upgraded.”

“Can’t you even let me feel happy for a while?!” Lin Huang was speechless.

Chapter 432: The Undead Evil Child

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Charcoal’s unsealing had led to a significant upgrade. Not only had it leveled up to a mid-level dragonkin, but it had also gone through its third mutation as well, upgrading into a purple legendary-level card.

However, the consequence was it being sealed due to its overly high authority.

Lin Huang did not expect that it would be sealed as he had just promised Charcoal that he would summon it more often in the future.

“It’s not my fault,” Lin Huang mumbled.

“Brother, why did the black dragon suddenly disappear?” Lin Xin wanted to touch the black dragon that had grown up as she wondered if the texture of its skin would be different from before.

“I’ve recalled it.” Lin Huang took the blame for Xiao Hei as he could not mention anything about the system to Lin Xin. He had no other choice.

“It’s so cute. Please summon it to play with us,” Lin Xin begged.

Cute?!

Lin Huang instantly felt that something was wrong with Lin Xin’s aesthetic judgment just like her sense of taste. If one was to say that Charcoal was previously ugly yet cute, one could only describe it as “ferocious” and “scary” after it had grown up. One would not describe it as “cute” at all.

“I can’t summon it anymore. My summon ability has been restricted. Now that it’s been upgraded, I can only summon it again when I level up to holy fire-level,” Lin Huang explained by telling her half of the truth.

Lin Xin accepted that excuse despite her reluctance.

“I’ll summon Little7 to play with you when we go home,” Lin Huang compromised. He could only summon Seventails for that. Little7 was a nickname given by Lin Xin, and it seemed like Seventails liked it a lot, so Lin Huang addressed it in such a way. “However, there is a condition for summoning Little7.”

It had not been released from the pet space for a long period as it was a troublemaker. It would bite any peculiar things regardless of its taste. The most important thing was it had a terribly healthy digestion as if it could digest anything that it ate…

“What’s that condition?” Lin Xin had been eagerly waiting for Lin Huang to summon Little7.

“First of all, you have to feed it on time every day. You can’t forget it. I’ll give you some Life Crystals then. Secondly, you have to take care of it and make sure that it doesn’t mess up the place. Don’t let it bite the sofa, chair, table, or bed. It’s not allowed to eat the bed sheets, curtain, floor mat, as well as the utensils in the kitchen such as the plates, cups, knife…” Lin Huang started making a deal with Lin Xin.

“Alright…” Although it sounded troublesome, still, Lin Xin promised him.

“Brother, where are we going now? Are we going home?” Lin Xin was afraid that Lin Huang would continue adding more conditions, so she changed the topic.

“We have to go to Nanmu Town again as I have something to deal with over there. We will visit the Yi family as well.” Lin Huang shook his head.

“Oh, could you please summon Little7 first?” Lin Xin was excited.

“No, what should we do if it bites people’s stuff?” Lin Huang refused.

“Alright…” Lin Xin accepted.

Both of them then rode on Thunder and exited the space of the Starlight Beast. They stopped at the lakeside.

Right after Thunder was recalled, Lin Huang then summoned Black Ink and relocated the destination point to Fatty’s old house, Nanmu City. Both of them then strode over the big door.

A few moments later, Lin Xin and Lin Huang then appeared at one of the old streets in Nanmu City which was rather quiet. It was the place where Lin Huang had last set on the Black Ink. It was not too far away from Fatty’s house.

Nanmu City was less than 800 kilometers away from Sandy Land. The place where the Undead Evil Child was discovered was farther about 1,100 kilometers away.

The Black Ink was recalled. Soon, Lin Huang summoned Thunder again. Both of them then got up onto Thunder to ride it. Lin Huang then pointed towards the direction of Sandy Land. Thunder immediately flew off into the sky and rapidly headed towards their destination.

In less than 40 minutes, they arrived at their destination. Thunder was recalled into its card form again.

Sandy Land was a desert. However, there were only golden sand and plants that could be seen occasionally where desertification had not yet been completed.

As they had just returned from the Meteorite Desert, Lin Xin’s immunity to the desert climate was a lot stronger. She would somehow prefer the Meteorite Desert though.

Lin Huang’s target was the Undead Evil Child. It was a double mutated complete gold-level monster. It belonged to the undying species and looked like a kid.

Despite the fact that it had a body the size of a kid, this type of monster was extremely cruel as they were good at creating illusions. They would usually tease their prey mercilessly until they died.

According to the record in the monster guide, there were people who had witnessed how Undead Evil Child controlled humans. People who it controlled had even cut out their body flesh and grilled it for the Undead Evil Child to eat.

Encountering such a monster, regardless of whether he managed to kill it or not, he would definitely attack it. Perhaps the hunter who provided this piece of information to Lin Huang earlier was not strong enough or had no guts to fight it. Otherwise, the person must have been capable of defeating it but was lazy to do so.

As he observed around, he discovered nothing. He summoned Bloody, and Lin Huang explained to it, “We are now at the Sandy Land. A few months ago, people discovered the presence of the Undead Evil Child over here.”

“Okay, I’ll look for it.”

As soon as Bloody contacted him through its mind, it twisted around Lin Huang’s left arm and released a large number of leech pods, spreading everywhere.

“It’s so beautiful!” Lin Xin saw Bloody using its leech pods for the first time. She then grabbed one of them.

Lin Huang did not stop her. The leech pod that Lin Xin grabbed was controlled by Bloody and all its parasitic functions were instantly disabled.

“Brother, what’s this flower for? Is it used for monitoring?” Lin Xin felt that Bloody would not have released it without reason.

“Yes, it can be used for monitoring,” Lin Huang affirmed. He hesitated for a moment and decided to hide part of the truth. Bloody was a unique type of monster. Perhaps it was the only one that existed in this world. It would be better to hide its ability from everyone.

After a short while, Bloody contacted him. “I’ve found it. However, it’s very alert and has even crushed my leech pods.”

“I shall look for it on my own.”

Lin Xin communicated with Bloody through her brother’s mind and said, “Please guide us!”

As soon as the instruction was received, Bloody then left Lin Huang’s arm and headed towards where the Undead Evil Child was.

Lin Huang immediately summoned the Viridian Wolf and followed after Bloody with Lin Xin.

The Viridian Wolf chased after Bloody for no more than five minutes, and soon, Lin Huang saw that Bloody was fighting a blue monster on top of the mountain.

Chapter 433: Visiting Again

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The monster that Bloody was fighting was a human-form monster. It had four limbs and walked upright on both feet. It looked like a seven to an eight-year-old child of 1.2 meters height with a face that was similar to a human child’s. However, its skin was blue, and there was a ten-centimeter-long black horn on its head and a blue tail behind it. Lin Huang immediately recognized that it was the Undead Devil Child that Bloody was looking for.

Lin Huang was puzzled as he watched the chaotic fight. Bloody had the ability to parasitize through shadows whereby it could just leech directly onto the monster instead of fighting it at a close distance. However, he noticed that the Undead Evil Child had no shadow under the sunlight. Meanwhile, the Undead Evil Child had cast an illusion on Bloody but it did not expect Bloody to have a more powerful spiritual level than it did, so its illusion did not work. Bloody could control tens of thousands of parasitic hosts at once; its spiritual level was many times more powerful than any creature of the same level. It was immune to many spiritual attacks.

As the attacks did not work on both of them, the battle became a chaotic fight show. There were flaws everywhere as Lin Huang watched, and the fight was getting nowhere. However, Lin Xin could not capture the flurry of movement of the two complete gold-level monsters with her eyes. All she could see was a red and a blue shadow moving in the desert which seemed quite interesting.

Bloody’s current form was a giant python, which was its original form. The Undead Evil Child always managed to avoid its attacks. Fortunately, the Undead Evil Child was no good in physical attack, so the attacks that were cast on Bloody were ineffective.

“Why do you keep chasing after it? With your estimation abilities, you should be able to tell where it’s going to run. All you’ll have to do is to block its way as it escapes and attack again, isn’t it?” Lin Huang could see that Bloody was lacking battle experience. He was considering summoning other monsters that did not have the opportunity to battle to train with his other monsters to strengthen their battle ability.

Bloody was inspired by Lin Huang’s reminder. Three minutes later, the Undead Evil Child’s thigh was caught as it was running away and the parasite was released. Bloody then strangled the entire Undead Evil Child’s body like a giant python. It was Lin Huang who had instructed Bloody to do that as he did not want Lin Xin to know about Bloody’s parasitic ability and therefore had created an illusion of strangling the Undead Evil Child. Meanwhile, Bloody could extract its memories as it did that.

“Brother, what’s that little blue man that Bloody is strangling?” Lin Xin had only learned about the beginner version of the monster encyclopedia, so she could not recognize many of the monsters.

“This is an Undead Evil Child. It’s a gold-level undead monster,” Lin Huang then told Lin Xin about the story of the Undead Evil Child hypnotizing people and eating their flesh.

“Why do so many monsters love eating human flesh?” Lin Xin asked in all seriousness after listening to the story. Her focus point was very different from the others.

“Perhaps human flesh is tastier than monsters’.” Lin Huang could only think of that explanation.

Fortunately, Bloody was done with its business, so the awkward conversation did not last too long. Bloody shrunk its body back to its earlier size and went into Lin Huang’s sleeve after it had killed the Undead Evil Child.

“It’s done?” Lin Huang contacted Bloody in his mind.

“I have extracted its memory. I’ll need some time to study. I hope you don’t recall me back into card form just yet, Master,” Bloody requested.

“Alright then, stay in my sleeve for now. I’ll let you out when we’re back in the White Capital,” Lin Huang agreed.

“It’s done, let’s go!” Lin Huang summoned his dimensional relic.

“Where are we going?” Lin Xin asked.

“Fatty’s home!”

As they stepped into the dimensional relic, they arrived at Fatty’s hometown in Nanmu Town. Fatty’s home was less than two kilometers from the old town. It was past 1 p.m. Lin Huang brought Lin Xin to a random noodle store for lunch before heading to Fatty’s home. It was around 1.40 p.m. when they arrived at Fatty’s home.

The man guarding the door noticed that they had just been here earlier, so he informed the housekeeper, and they were soon allowed into the house. The housekeeper greeted them at the door and brought them straight to the second floor, not asking anything this time. The old lady had just woken up from her nap and did not expect Lin Huang to visit. She allowed them in as soon as the housekeeper informed her of their presence.

This time, the two aunts were not there, so it was just the old lady alone. The old lady did not look as well as she did the first time they saw her.

“Xiao Linzi, you must be free today since you’re visiting this old lady,” the old lady chuckled, hiding her emotions.

Lin Huang’s eyes twitched when he heard how the old lady addressed him. The nickname was named after a eunuch in a martial art novel on Earth.

“I’m running errands around the area, so I thought I would drop by to see you,” Lin Huang said with a smile.

“What is that? Is it done? Do you need our help?” The old lady was eager.

“It’s okay, I came here after I settled my stuff.” Lin Huang smiled and shook his head.

“How have you been?” Lin Huang asked.

“Nothing much, just some pain here and there. It’s normal because I’m old as long as they don’t bother me too much,” the old lady said.

“The aunties aren’t home?” Lin Huang addressed them like how Fatty would have, and the old lady did not mind him calling the aunts like that.

The old lady was gloomy when she heard the question.

“Don’t talk about the two of them.”

“What happened?” Lin Huang asked, guessing that it had something to do with the Ke Lai Hotel, which was his purpose of visiting.

“Since you’re Hangyi’s friend, you must have heard him mention the family hotel?” The old lady hesitated before she started to speak again.

“Yes, I know, Hangyi brought me to Ke Lai Hotel in Baqi City last year. Uncle was at the hotel as well, and he made us some of his signature dishes.”

The old lady had tears in her eyes when she heard Lin Huang talking about her son and grandson, but she managed to hold her tears in.

“So, you have been there before. How was it?” The old lady closed her eyes for a while before asking.

“It was great. Uncle’s cooking skill is the best of the best among normal people. Some of the Food Hunters aren’t even as good as him,” Lin Huang positively commented on Fatty’s father’s cooking skill.

“If he trained himself, he would definitely make a renowned Food Hunter,” he added.

The old lady was solemn for a while after hearing the comment.

“Xiao Linzi, are you interested in taking over Ke Lai Hotel?” The old lady asked after she seemed to have already decided on it.

Chapter 434: The Yin Family’s Current Condition

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Grandma, is there any major predicament at the hotel?” Lin Huang asked the obvious.

Just like Fatty’s dying wish, Lin Huang hoped that he could take over Ke Lai Hotel himself, but he did not want to be forceful as the old lady might think that he was plotting a scheme behind this.

“Since we’re here, I shan’t hide from you anymore. Ke Lai Hotel was built by Hangyi’s father from scratch. None of us have his skill. Many came to the hotel for his signature dishes.” The old lady treated Lin Huang like family now.

“The heavy workload took a toll on his health a couple of years ago. He started a reservation service online whereby he only cooked once a day. That didn’t stop customers from coming. Some of the reservations were scheduled for months just to taste his signature dishes. Since he passed on, Hangyi had taken over the kitchen. Although he wasn’t as good, he managed to cook the signature dishes as well as creating some new dishes on his own. The customers didn’t complain. Now that Hangyi has passed away, his father’s signature dishes have lost their inheritance.”

“Although you brought back the recipe, there’s no one in the family who has the skill. It will take years to learn. Moreover, we don’t trust the chefs that we hired to inherit the recipe. We’ve been thinking to sell the hotel instead because if we continue the business, we’ll lose the old customers and the hotel will be running at a loss,” the old lady said.

“What does the rest of the family say?” Lin Huang asked.

“There aren’t many people left in the family. I’m only left with the youngest son out of the three of them. Hangyi’s mother passed away not long after she gave birth to him. I’m only left with two daughters-in-law. My granddaughter is only 11 this year. My youngest son is doing fishery business, providing mainly to Ke Lai Hotel. Now that the hotel business can’t go on, his business will be affected as well. His wife disagrees to sell the hotel but the other daughter-in-law and I want to sell the hotel before it starts running at a loss. They were arguing over this a few dback ago. My son is in an awkward position with me and his sister-in-law. His wife has been acting up recently, saying that she will divorce my son if we’re selling the hotel…”

The old lady told Lin Huang about what had happened at home recently, and he was speechless about the family drama while Lin Xin stared at the coffee table. Nobody knew what she was thinking about.

“Have you ever thought of remodeling the hotel?” Lin Huang asked as he would do that if he purchased the hotel.

“I’ve thought about it before but even if the hotel’s been remodeled, nobody will be managing it. I’m old, and it’s hard for me to even step out of the house. My son doesn’t know hotel management at all. He has a business partner who’s managing the business. What he does all day is play poker, so he’s not the right person to take over the business. My daughter-in-law is well-educated but it would be hard for her manage the hotel. Meanwhile, my other daughter-in-law has only been to school for a few years. She’s not worth mentioning. If not for Hangyi’s father who had this hotel business, our house would be the same with the rest of them in the town, just like an ordinary family’s…” The old lady was not afraid to reveal the flaws in her family.

The old lady was thorough in her planning. She knew that a person’s capability was limited to his own will and abilities. The problem the Yin family now had was that none of the family members could manage the business that was left behind for them. Lin Huang was thinking how should he respond to the old lady. However, the old lady thought she was troubling him.

“I don’t mean to trouble you with this mess. Ke Lai Hotel is still making money. If the remodeling is successful, it would make even more. I thought since you’re a hunter, you should have more friends of the same interest and you might be able to recommend me your friends. I’ll pay you a commission.”

“Grandma, how about I purchase the hotel with the full amount while I look for new management personnel and chefs? You’ll give me the recipes and take 50% of the share. I’ll carry the losses while your family will take 50% of the profit, but the management of the hotel would 100% belong to me,” Lin Huang said after thinking about it.

Such a hotel might be able to make hundreds of billions credit points annually which would be equivalent to millions of Life Crystal pieces. Combining them into 10,000 Life Crystals, Lin Huang could easily get that amount by killing and selling a couple of Transcendent monsters. The 50% division of profit was nothing to him but the profit was a crucial financial source for the Yin family.

The old lady was stunned to hear such generous terms from Lin Huang as such business was usually once-off as soon as the business was sold. Under normal circumstances, the profit had nothing to do with the Yin family after the hotel was sold. Moreover, the other two buyers that she secretly contacted wanted the recipe from her as well. However, she did not think that Lin Huang’s request was reasonable as it was Lin Huang had the recipe himself. It was generous for him to be willing to give 50% of the share to the family. Meanwhile, the management rights made sense as the hotel would not belong to the family anymore.

“I’ll only need the right to use Uncle’s and Hangyi’s recipes. I don’t need to own the rights to them. I promise that the recipes will only be used at Ke Lai Hotel instead of disseminating them everywhere. You guys can use the recipes as well if you’re opening another hotel in the future. Also, as long as the goods from Hangyi’s uncle are trustworthy, I’ll still use him as our supplier. I’ll always put him on top of my list for fisheries,” Lin Huang added.

The old lady could not resist such generous terms.

“I can only think of these for now. You can get somewhere to include the concrete terms and the hotel price in the contract during these couple of days. You can include all the things that I mentioned just now as well as the other terms you want in the contract, and I’ll get someone to look at it. If we’re okay with the terms, we can sign the contract.” Lin Huang thought about it and felt it was better for him to talk to someone who was in the business as he was not an expert in this.

“Hangyi has made a good friend.” The old lady did not expect her grandson’s friend to help her solve the issue.

“Hangyi is my friend.This is what friends do. I would want Uncle’s recipe to go on. I would also want people to taste Hangyi’s recipes. What he didn’t manage to do, I’ll try my best to fulfill them for him.” Lin Huang still remembered Fatty’s dying wishes.

Chapter 435: Please Don’t Cry Okay

Lin Huang had basically completed his mission after discussing the Ke Lai Hotel with the old lady of the Yin family. Lancelot and Charcoal had been unblocked while Bloody was close to unlocking its two remaining skills. Among his two epic-level cards, only Bloody and Thunder were left. Lin Huang knew that it was not the right time for the both of them to be unlocked, so all he could do was to wait patiently. Bloody had no idea when it could come out with its last vacant skill slot while Thunder would need Yi Yeyu’s monster egg to hatch.

It was past 2 p.m. as Lin Huang brought Lin Xin out of the dimensional relic to the White Capital. Since they had been away from the dorm for a couple of days, they started cleaning when they arrived. It was past 5 p.m. after they were done cleaning the first to the third floors, then they headed out for dinner. After dinner, Lin Huang summoned Tyrant to accompany Lin Xin back to the dorm while he headed straight to the training room.

The training room in the Martial Hunter College was much stabler than those in most of the hotels as they were mainly made of various holy fire-level monsters’ bones which strengthened its defense. Lin Huang started his training when he entered the training room. He was not using a wooden sword this time but his 5-star sword relic, Dragon Slayer. He could unleash everything he had in the training room without holding back.

There was turbulence in the air as Lin Huang swung his sword in the middle of the training room. He had managed to enter the level-3 sword realm Illumination during the battle with the Sword Dominator, but he did not expect that to happen. It felt different as he arrived at the next level of sword realm during practice. Before this, he would take the time to master the epic-level sword skills even when he had learned them. However, he mastered the skills immediately when he trained again.

He could also feel the integration of his sword skills accelerated. With his previous speed, he could only integrate one sword skill within three to four days but now he only needed one day. As he swung his sword again and again, his Life Pow accelerated away. The Army Attack Tactics in his body was rotating to refill his Life Power as he trained. He practiced for more than six hours this time, and Xiao Hei’s notification came as he was keeping his sword.

“Congratulations, your epic-level sword skills Great Sword Scripture and Star Dome have been integrated on the rudimentary level!”

“Only rudimentary level? The Thunder Sting was completely integrated. It seems like real battles are more effective.” Lin Huang frowned.

“Where should I find an opponent to train real battles with me?”

With that question on his mind, Lin Huang walked out of the training room. He stopped after taking a few steps as the fixed road lamp caught his attention.

“How could I not think of this? I could always look for the dean!”

The next morning, Lin Huang did not go to the library but to the dean, Liu Ming’s house after breakfast. Liu Ming was excited when he saw Lin Huang visiting him.

“Brother, are you in some kind of trouble that you’re looking for me?” Liu Ming asked with a smile as he was preparing tea.

“Not trouble, but a small request.” Lin Huang thought since Liu Ming was Mr Fu’s fan, he would get him as a suitable opponent even if he was unwilling to train with him.

“Tell me about it.” Liu Ming nodded to Lin Huang as he sipped the tea.

“I have been practising integrating my sword skills but my progress is too slow if I train on my own. I’m thinking if you could get someone to train with me.” Lin Huang did not request to train with Liu Ming straightaway as he was almost an imperial-level now and might not be willing to do something so petty.

“Oh, it’s just a small matter. There’s no need to trouble anyone else. I shall train with you since I’m free these days,” Liu Ming agreed to train with him straightaway.

“What time do you usually train?”

“I’ll train when it’s convenient for you,” Lin Huang said.

“I’m free anytime since I’ve been just drinking tea, reading the news, and walking my pet monster everyday. There’s nothing else that I have to do. I don’t even need to sleep. Just a couple of hours of nap will do. So, we shall train at your convenience.” Liu Ming revealed what he had been during for the past couple of years.

“Sure, let’s train everyday from 6 p.m. to midnight then.” Lin Huang did not bother changing his lifestyle.

“Sure, should we start today or tomorrow?” Liu Ming asked.

“Let’s train today then.” Lin Huang could not wait anymore.

“We shall meet at training room No.101 today at 6 p.m. everyday then,” Liu Ming nodded and agreed.

“What’s so special about training room No.101?” Lin Huang thought to himself but soon he figured it must be just a random number that Liu Ming had thought of.

After the discussion, he did not stay at Liu Ming’s place and headed straight to the library after bidding farewell. He was reading up.on basic sword skills this time. With the powerful learning ability that came from his ocular skill, he was absorbing new knowledge like a sponge. His Omniscient Nature duplicated the contents that he could not digest at the time being.

He did not leave the library in the afternoon and had snacks as his lunch like usual. Time went by, and soon, it was past 5 p.m. He left the library an hour earlier than he usually did. After dinner with Lin Xin, he headed straight to training room No.101. There were ten training rooms, each in a row in the college. He headed straight to the 11th row and realized that there was only a building in that row. It did not look like a training room, more like a huge stadium.

Just when he was thinking if that was training room No.101, he heard Liu Ming’s voice.

“Brother, what are you doing out there? Come in.”

Lin Huang then walked to the building and saw the little sign on the entrance. There was ‘101’ in white writing on the sign. As he entered the building, he realized that it was a gigantic venue that was the size of a football field. However, where the audience seats should have been empty. The entire building was like a giant round venue with the 100-meter high ceiling spanning the entire place. Lin Huang could not relate to the venue with a training room.

“Isn’t this training room fantastic?” Liu Ming noticed Lin Huang’s expression and seemed to be satisfied with his surprise.

“I don’t think this is still a training room. It’s more like a football field,” Lin Huang said after keeping silent for a moment.

“All the Transcendent battle training grounds are huge with high ceilings as the moving distance of both parties as well as the space to fly are put into consideration. The usual Transcendent training ground is at least 40,000 square meters with the height of 50 meters. I’ve made this a little too big. It’s almost 30,0000 square meters with more than 100 meters height. Although it’s slightly too big, this building is the real battle training ground for Transcendents.” Liu Ming smiled as he explained.

Lin Huang had heard of the Transcendent battle training grounds before, but he had never bothered as he thought it would be similar to a normal training room. It seemed like he had been too naive.

“You could totally show what you’ve got here without having to worry about damaging anything. You can move around as you like without bashing into the walls. I’ll oppress my combat level to gold-level rank-3 like you when we battle. Please don’t cry, okay?” Liu Ming smirked.

Chapter 436: I’ll Be A Shameless Man

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was on a green field under the high ceiling of the white dome in the gigantic battle training ground. Two men stood across each other on the field. One was a young man of 16 or 17 years old with black, fluffy hair. He had clean and sharp features. He wore a white t-shirt and blue jeans with a pair of white sports shoes. His attire was casual, but he had a mature vibe. He did not seem like a young teenager. He held a sword, which was soon filled with golden Life Power shimmering wit glow in his right hand. He was staring at the middle-aged man who stood not far across him.

The middle-aged man looked like he was in his forties. He was plump but his full height of 1.8 meters covered that particular imperfection. His facial structure was rough with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looked like a ragged man. Although he was wearing casual attire that was slightly loose, they did not look cheap. He looked stunned.

“Brother, you’ve broken through Illumination now?!”

As soon as Lin Huang grasped the sword in his hand, Liu Ming could sense that his sword realm had leveled up since the last time he had seen him. He was already shocked by Lin Huang’s sword realm that had reached level-2 when he was only 16. It was something that only a sword genius could achieve. He was completely shocked now that Lin Huang was already on level-3.

“When I was 16, I was still playing in the mud!” Liu Ming teased himself secretly.

Liu Ming had actually already achieved silver-level when he was 16 but he had no idea what sword realm was at that time. He only started mastering the sword realm when he arrived on holy fire-level. Now that he was on level-4 Oblivion, which was only a level higher than Lin Huang who was a gold-level, his talent in sword realm was nothing compared to Lin Huang.

“Mr. Fu has a monstrous apprentice!” Liu Ming exclaimed to himself as he thought about their differences.

“I just broke through two days ago,” Lin Huang nodded and admitted. He knew he could not hide from Liu Ming who was also a sword expert. However, he had no clue how difficult it was to level up in the sword realm, so he sounded causal when he said that. He sounded like he achieved it by pure accident. His casual attitude made Liu Ming think how could they both be so different.

“Are you okay, brother? I’m going to start now,” Lin Huang warned Liu Ming as he noticed that he was distracted.

“Nothing, let’s start.” Liu Ming snapped out of his thoughts and got ready for the battle.

He initially had the mindset of teaching a junior but that had vanished now. As he oppressed his combat level to gold-level rank-3, he treated Lin Huang as a real opponent. Lin Huang did not underestimate Liu Ming as he activated his Seraphic Speed and Thunder Steps at the same time. He arrived before Liu Ming like a white lightning bolt.

“So quick!” Liu Ming thought to himself as Lin Huang’s speed surpassed what a normal gold-level should have. He was even faster than a white flame-level, and was on par with a powerful crimson flame-level. Although Liu Ming had oppressed his combat level to gold-level rank-3, he maintained his ocular ability, or else, he would die under Lin Huang’s attack. However, the oppression had affected his physical speed. He could see Lin Huang’s attack but his body could not catch up with it.

There were many ways that he could fight back, but Liu Ming was only left with one option now, which was to block. Lin Huang was too fast, so the only thing Liu Ming was capable of doing after the oppression was to block.

Bang!

Lin Huang’s 5-star sword relic collided with Liu Ming’s 1-star sword relic, resounding with a loud thud in the training ground. A golden glow shined brightly in the air, and a strong air pressure rippled in the air. The grass within a radius of hundreds of meters was destroyed. Liu Ming skidded backward from the impact, only stopping when he was more than 20 meters away. He took a deep breath when he finally managed to stand still.

“What the hell? How is this a gold-level rank-3? His attack could totally kill a crimson flame-level!” Liu Ming did not say that out loud. However, he realized that he had completely underestimated Lin Huang. Under normal circumstances, even a complete gold-level would have great differen with compared to a holy fire-level. The difference in life level of a white flame-level was significantly higher than a complete gold-level’s. It was much more difficult for a complete gold-level to kill a white flame-level than for a silver-level to kill a complete gold-level. Therefore, as a genius guide, one would usually be judged whether a complete gold-level could kill a white flame-level.

However, what Lin Huang had shown had surpassed that. Besides not being able to fly, no matter if it came to his speed, strength or attack ability, Lin Huang could definitely kill a crimson flame-level. He would absolutely stand out among many geniuses. What Liu Ming did not know was that the speed and attack ability of his sword swing just not was not all he had. He was only using Wildfire, which was one of the normal forms in the Wildfire sword skill, and not the ultimate Worldly Purification skill. He had yet to integrate Wildfire with the Star Dome skill. As soon as the integration was done, he would be even more powerful. If he had used his Thunder Sting just now, Liu Ming might not have been able to block his attack.

“Brother, are you alright?” Lin Huang saw that Liu Ming backed off from the impact and he had obviously underestimated him, so he stopped attacking.

“Ahem, ahem, I’m alright…” Liu Ming coughed to cover his embarrassment. He blushed as he recalled teasing Lin Huang earlier, asking him not to cry when they fought. Luckily, he had tanned skin, so Lin Huang might not have noticed his blush.

“Brother, your real battle ability has exceeded my expectations. Let me increase my combat level to fight you,” Liu Ming said shamelessly. He did not want to eat his words, but if he did not now, he would certainly be defeated by Lin Huang later. He decided to be a shameless man as he thought of the embarrassing consequences.

“Sure, I hope you can give me sufficient pressure and not hold back,” Lin Huang agreed to Liu Ming’s suggestion.

Chapter 437: Sword Skill Integration

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Loud crashes echoed in the Martial Hunter College’s battle training ground. If the training ground had not been soundproofed, there would be many people watching the battle right now. Liu Ming was getting more and more shocked as he fought Lin Huang. At first, he thought Lin Huang was just lucky that he met Mr. Fu. He seemed talented, but he might still need a long time to really grow, but now, he looked at Lin Huang in a different light.

He started thinking that Mr. Fu had picked up a piece of rare, uncut diamond. Lin Huang was like a priceless precious stone that shone brightly. One day, when he was polished, he would stun the world with his greatness. What Liu Ming was witnessing was just the beginning. As Lin Huang attacked for the first time, Liu Ming increased his gold-level rank-3 combat level which was oppression to complete gold-level. He also changed his sword to a 5-star relic like Lin Huang did since the 1-star sword that he used earlier had cracked when it collided with Lin Huang’s sword.

He thought that if he could not suppress Lin Huang, he could at least fight equally with him since his combat level had leveled up, changed his sword to one with richer Life Power, and had a more powerful physique. He soon found out that he was wrong. As he fought Lin Huang, he realized that he was at a loss again. Helpless, he leveled up his combat level to white flame-level. Liu Ming was confident that he could kill a blue flame-level with his white flame-level ability, so he could surely suppress Lin Huang this time.

Finally, his upgrade pressured Lin Huang. After all, his ability was much more powerful than a regular white flame-level’s. However, it was not as easy as Liu Ming thought. Although Lin Huang was at a disadvantage since Liu Ming leveled up to white flame-level, he was getting more and more powerful as they battled. Liu Ming could sense clearly that his ability was increasing with every swing of his sword. Because of that, he realized how terrifying Lin Huang was.

 

“Sword28!”

 

“Sword32!”

 

“Ignition!”

 

“Inferno!”

 

“Mountain Cleave!”

…

As Lin Huang was compelled to fight harder, he was no longer practicing just one sword skill anymore. The training became a real battle. No matter integrated or not, Lin Huang was performing different sword skills each time. Sometimes, he would even swing his sword without any sword skill when he did not manage to come up with any forms. He had gotten Liu Ming indulging in the battle. Liu Ming had forgotten that he was just practicing with Lin Huang; he was thinking about how to defeat Lin Huang instead. He showed no mercy as he wielded his sword at Lin Huang.

It was midnight before they even realized it and Lin Huang’s alarm clock on his Emperor’s Heart Ring rang. It dawned on him that they had been fighting for six hours straight.

“Hehe, that was fun!” Liu Ming laughed.

“I haven’t had so much fun in a long time! Do you want to continue?”

“Let’s call it a day. I’ve drained most of my Life Power, and I’ll need to go to the library tomorrow morning. Let’s continue tomorrow afternoon!” Lin Huang looked at the Life Wheels in his body. Among the ten Life Wheels, he only had 500 columns of Life Power in total left. He had even used one Life Power Refill Card secretly to refill five Life Wheels.

“Ah, I’ve forgotten about that! Alright then, rest well today, and we shall continue tomorrow!” Liu Ming just recalled that Lin Huang was not a holy fire-level, so his Life Power recovery was much slower. However, the fact that Lin Huang could last for six hours made him realize that he must have drained most of his Life Power, but he did not ask as it was rather personal. Lin Huang returned to the dorm right after leaving the battle training ground. The six hours had exhausted him, but it was efficient as Xiao Hei had sent him three notifications along the way. His Wildfire, Hundred Flowing Blades, and Mountain Blade had completed their rudimentary integration. He checked the notifications and went to bed after he showered.

The next morning, Lin Huang felt immensely sore all over his body. It felt like he had not exercised in a long time. In reality, Lin Huang was never idle; his body just could not adapt to the extra training that he had gone through yesterday. After a night of rest, the Army Attack Tactics rotation had refilled all the Life Wheels in his body. When he was on the way to breakfast with Lin Xin, he felt like he was stepping on clouds and like his body was floating.

“What’s wrong, brother?” Lin Xin soon noticed Lin Huang’s odd behavior.

Lin Huang then told her about his training with Liu Ming yesterday, which stunned Lin Xin. As a student in the Martial Hunter College (she had yet to start school), she had done her research on the school and knew that the dean, Liu Ming, was the top of the leaderboard in Division7.

“Brother, what’s the dean’s combat level?” Lin Xin asked.

“He’s immortal-level, he’s halfway to imperial-level now. He’s considered the best in Division7. Don’t think too much. He trained with me by suppressing his combat level, or else, I wouldn’t be able to even take a slap from him,” Lin Huang explained after noticing Lin Xin’s stunned expression.

Lin Huang headed straight to the library after breakfast. He was reading about the basic sword power realm as he allowed the Army Attack Tactics to rotate and continue to recover his Life Power. He trained with Liu Ming again from 6 p.m. to midnight before heading back to the dorm and sleeping. He repeated the same routine for the next few days. He finally completed the integration of the Star Dome with his epic-level sword skills within a week.

At the same time, the old lady from the Yin family had sent him the contract. The terms were reasonable. Besides the terms that Lin Huang had mentioned earlier, a couple of basic clauses were added. Lin Huang got Liu Ming to look at it before he signed the contract. Because he promised to continue the fishery supply from the Yin family, Fatty’s aunt stopped all her drama. The old lady, in return, extended her gratitude in the letter.

All the hotel chains would add up to 128 billion credit points, which translated into 1,280 Life Crystals. Lin Huang paid up immediately, and the deal was done. Since Lin Huang had gotten Liu Ming to look at the contract, Lin Huang thought he would also get him to help look for management personnel. Liu Ming was more than happy to get a management team from a big hotel and a couple of excellent chefs from other hotels for Lin Huang.

Lin Huang had a good impression after meeting with the bunch of people that Liu Ming pooled together. Most of them knew Fatty’s father and respected him.

“At my hotel, feel free to show your skills off. The only criteria I have is to pass down the Yin family’s recipe,” Lin Huang only conveyed that to the five chefs. The chefs agreed to the criteria. The meeting adjourned after Lin Huang duplicated five copies of Fatty’s father’s recipe as well as Fatty’s recipe and gave them to the five chefs.

He only gave out a portion of Fatty’s recipe as the remainder was the inspiration that Fatty had while browsing the monster encyclopedia. Lin Huang thought he would give out the remaining recipe when he had found a suitable Food Hunter in the future. After settling Ke Lai Hotel, Lin Huang placed his trust in the management team while he focused on his work at the Martial Hunter College.

Chapter 438: Our Friendship Isn’t Pure

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Bang!

Two silhouettes backed off as a loud thud was heard. Lin Huang had been training with Liu Ming in the battle training ground these days. Although he had completed the sword skills integration, he did not want to stop leveling up his sword realm. He had been reading about sword skills at the library where most of them were regular and rare Skill Cards.

With his newfound understanding now, he could basically understand a normal sword skill by just reading about it once while he could pick up and master the rare sword skills after practicing it twice or thrice. He had been combining the sword skills integration into his Star Dome outline to remedy his lack of knowledge in sword realm foundation.

The Martial Hunter College had epic-level sword skills as well, but they were not complimentary. They could only be retrieved by redeeming contribution points. Lin Huang did not have to learn epic-level sword skills as the normal and rare sword skills that he had mastered were sufficient for him for the time being.

The teacher’s contribution points came mostly from teaching a class. Each student would equal to 1 contribution point whereby he would get 50 contribution points as most classes would have around 50 students. Lin Huang was only assigned one class per week which meant that he could only get 2,600 contribution points a year. Each epic-level combat skill would need at least 1,000 contribution points while higher combat skills would need 2,000 to 3,000 contribution points.

To Lin Huang, he would talk to Mr. Fu or buy them with Life Crystals if epic-level sword skills were really necessary. He thought that redeeming contribution points by teaching classes would not be favorable to him. Also, spending a year killing monsters and trading Life Crystals would be much faster than teaching for a year. With the money that he made from selling monsters, he would be able to purchase many combat skills.

Liu Ming sensed that Lin Huang’s new sword skills were not as powerful as before, but he could tell that his sword realm was strengthening. He insisted on training with Lin Huang as he could feel that his sword realm that had been stagnant was now improving. It was not that Lin Huang had inspired him, but Lin Huang’s condition reminded him of the time when he had started training swordsmanship. What Lin Huang was going through reminded him of why he started what he was doing.

Sword training was not mainly to breakthrough levels; it was passion and desire in the sword realm. The training these days reignited the passion that Liu Ming used to have before. He felt that he was around the same age as Lin Huang when they trained. He even forgot about his age, thinking that he was only a few years older than Lin Huang. It was like training and improving with a brother every day. His addressing Lin Huang “brother” was different from before. It was no longer a formality, but a genuine brotherhood that had formed between the both of them.

Lin Huang could also sense that Liu Ming was much more sincere than before. He used to be distant, but he had become genuine these few days as they trained. He would even tell Lin Huang about his understanding of the sword realm. As long as Lin Huang had questions for him, he would not hold back on his explanation while sincerely teaching him what he knew. Lin Huang was grateful for this. Although he had no idea what had inspired the change, he knew that the brotherhood was real.

As they were training, Lin Huang’s Emperor’s Heart Ring vibrated. Liu Ming backed away while Lin Huang paused to pick up his phone. It was Yi Yeyu, so he answered the video call immediately.

“Good evening!” Lin Huang took out a towel from his storage space and wiped off the sweat on his face.

“What are you doing that you’re sweating so much?” Yi Yeyu asked.

“Training swordsmanship.” Lin Huang waved the sword in his hand.

“Alright then, you sword maniac.” Yi Yeyu knew that Lin Huang’s improvement was leaps and bounds better than hers.

“Oh, well, if you’re not talented, you’ll have to work harder.” Lin Huang smiled.

“You’re not talented?! If the renowned Sword Genius isn’t talented, then who in Division7 is?” Yi Yeyu rolled her eyes at Lin Huang.

“Well, I thought it rhymed, so I might as well say it. I’m not talking about myself.” Lin Huang rubbed his nose.

“You’re so shameless! All you’re doing is fishing for compliments,” Yi Yeyu teased.

“I guess so. Anyway, why did you call?” Lin Huang asked with a smile.

“Didn’t you ask me to call you?”

“I asked you to call me?” Lin Huang was surprised.

“I’m going to hang up if you really can’t recall,” Yi Yeyu threatened.

“You baby has hatched?!” Lin Huang suddenly recalled that he wanted the phoenix blood.

“Lucky for you that you remember! It hatched an hour ago,” Yi Yeyu said and stabilized her phone. She then picked up a red, fluffy baby monster that looked like a slightly bigger and odd chick.

“This is Xiao Hong. Say ‘hi’ to Uncle Lin Huang.”

“Erm, I must say you’re worst than me when it comes to naming.” Lin Huang teased as he saw how hesitant the baby monster was.

“What do you know? It’s just a nickname!” Yi Yeyu said.

“So, what’s its real name?” Lin Huang asked in all seriousness.

“Its real name is… Ugh! What does that have to do with you?! I haven’t thought of its real name. What’s wrong with you?!” Yi Yeyu was embarrassed and mad.

“Sure, sure, you’re right about everything.” Lin Huang smiled and nodded. “It’s not my baby anyway,” Lin Huang said under his breath.

“Lin Huang, tell me in my face if you don’t want the phoenix blood anymore! I’m hanging up!” Yi Yeyu could not take it anymore when she heard what Lin Huang said in the end.

“No, no, no. It’s all my fault, alright?” Lin Huang apologized. It was not easy for Yi Yeyu to finally promise to give him phoenix blood. If it failed, he would have to spend a lot of time and effort looking for an ancient bird monster’s blood for Thunder.

“So, do I send over the blood or what?” Yi Yeyu asked.

“It’s alright. I need fresh blood. I’ll go to you in a few days when I’m free. Please send me your address.” Lin Huang shook his head. He wanted to drop by her place when he was unlocking Bloody so that he did not have to make two trips.

“Sure, I’ll send you the address later. I’ll hang up if there’s nothing else.” Yi Yeyu was obviously still chuffed at Lin Huang. Now that she had a new toy, she was not interested in chatting further.

“Alright then, I’ll let you know before I head there.”

“Girlfriend?” Liu Ming looked playfully at Lin Huang after the call ended.

“No, we’re just friends,” Lin Huang denied right away.

“A philosopher once said that there’s no pure friendship between a boy and a girl.” Liu Ming squinted at Lin Huang, his face even cheekier now.

“Our friendship isn’t pure. We have a financial relationship whereby I owe her money.” Lin Huang looked at Liu Ming in all seriousness.

“Uhh…” Liu Ming was speechless.

Lin Huang was talking about the time when Tyrant had accidentally damaged the hotel during the Reserve Hunter assessment last year. That was how Lin Huang ended up owing Yi Yeyu money. In reality, the hotel belonged to the Hunter Association, so the damage would be borne by the Hunter Association, and Yi Yeyu did not have to pay anything. When Lin Huang insisted on paying her back, Yi Yeyu had replied, “I don’t want your money, I want to be your creditor.” That was how they ended up in such an odd relationship.

Chapter 439: Shanhai City

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

More than a week had passed. The study on Undead Evil Child’s skills was not as successful as Bloody expected. Although the Undead Evil Child’s Immortal Tinder was similar to Bloody’s Leech Pod, the differences were major. The Immortal Tinder could duplicate the Undead Evil Child’s memory perfectly while Bloody’s Leech Pods could not contain such a massive amount of information. Moreover, the Immortal Tinder was much better at hiding than the Leech Pod whereby it was almost undetectable while Bloody could not do that.

However, after a week of studying, Bloody managed to come up with a similar skill. As the Leech Pod could contain limited information, Bloody could only create Leech Pods that were exclusively for memory storage. Such new Leech Pods were more than ten times bigger than the original Leech Pods, but it could completely store Bloody’s memory. The disadvantage was that because it was big, it could be targeted easily, so it could only be used for close-range parasitizing. Besides, it could not hide after parasitizing was performed and it could be easily discovered by humans or monsters with spiritual detection abilities.

Although it was a half-baked skill that was full of flaws, Bloody decided to add it to its skill range anyway. If it were a complete skill, it would appear automatically in the skill slot, and it would not take up the currently vacant slot. As it was incomplete, Bloody decided to put it in anyway since it had a vacant slot. Bloody named it Immortal Pods (Beginner). Lin Huang took a look at the skill and knew that it was half-baked.

Since all of its skill slots were full, the unlocking terms appeared at the back of Bloody’s card.

“The card is sealed at the moment. Unlocking must be done in order to level up to holy fire-level.

“Unlocking Terms: Get Demonic Dandelion Vine to kill more parasites with different parasitic abilities!

“Terms Description: Kill at least ten types of parasitic monsters; the more, the better.

“Remark 1: The monsters’ combat level should not be lower than the Demonic Dandelion Vine’s.

“Remark 2: You can get other summoning monsters to help with the killing, but you cannot get help from other participants.

“Remark 3: The helpers’ combat level has to be lower than the target’s.”

As soon as he saw the unlocking terms, Lin Huang posted his request to look for various parasites on the Hunter Forum, and he soon got replies. He headed out three days later after he got Tyrant to stay with Lin Xin this time. As the parasites were scattered everywhere, Lin Huang did not plan to kill the parasites first. Instead, he headed to Shanhai City to meet Yi Yeyu.

Shanhai City was located at foothold No.7A2, and it was one of the biggest A-grade footholds in Division7. Its crowd was nothing less than the White Capital’s. However, they were both located far away from each other whereby one was in the north of Division7 while the other was in the southeast. Although the foothold was popular, Lin Huang never had the opportunity to visit it. However, it was clear that Mr. Fu had been there before as the foothold’s coordinates were pinned in the dimensional relic.

As Lin Huang stepped into the dimensional relic, he appeared in a hotel room again, but this time, he entered right into the bathroom. He heard the sound of flowing water sound behind him. He wanted to dig his eyes out as soon as he turned around. Under the running shower was an older man with a buff body, showering. With bubbles on his body, the thick hair on his firm chest grabbed Lin Huang’s attention. Luckily, the bubbles managed to cover his lower body region, so Lin Huang did not see anything that he should not have seen.

The uncle soon noticed that Lin Huang was in the shower together with him, so he grabbed a towel and covered his chest in disgust.

“Uncle, I think you’re covering the wrong place…” Lin Huang wanted to say, but the uncle’s scream did not allow him to.

“Help, pervert!”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to do this,” Lin Huang apologized and left with his dimensional relic.

He ran out of the hotel as fast as he could. He was annoyed that he had to see that once he arrived in Shanhai City. It must be bad luck to be labeled as a pervert by someone else.

He took a deep breath and protected the map with his Emperor’s Heart Ring. He was not far away from Yi Yeyu’s house. It was only past 8 a.m, and since he was not in a rush, he sat down at an alfresco cafe and called Yi Yeyu.

The call was soon connected. Yi Yeyu was having breakfast when he called.

“You’re coming to Shanhai City now?” Yi Yeyu was eating a piece of meat as she mumbled to Lin Huang.

“I’m already here,” Lin Huang said and noticed that Yi Yeyu was dressed in formal attire.

“Why are you dressed so formally today? Do you have something going on?”

“I’m picking up a good friend today. She’s my big sister. She used to be my great-grandfather’s staff who took good care of me when I was little. She’s been working with the Union Government in Division3 after she broke through immortal-level a few years ago. I didn’t see her since then. She happened to be in Division7 these few days to visit me. I got her a hotel in the middle of the night, and I’m meeting her today,” Yi Yeyu explained in detail.

“Oh, go meet your friend then, since my matter is not urgent anyway. I’ll shop and walk around in the city. I’ll visit you when you’re done meeting her.” Lin Huang thought it would be inconvenient for him to be around since she had an appointment with a friend she had not seen for years.

“It’s okay, we’re close and since you’re here, let’s meet up together.” Yi Yeyu did not think there was anything wrong.

“Alright then.” Lin Huang did not say further since she suggested that.

“Send me your coordinates. Let me see who should I pick up first.”

Lin Huang sent his coordinates immediately.

“Eh, you’re very close to my big sister! That’s convenient,” Yi Yeyu said after looking at the coordinates while grinning.

“There are many hotels around, so it’s not unusual that we’re close.” Lin Huang looked up and saw six hotels around him.

“Wait for me wherever you are, I’ll be there in ten.”

After the call ended, Lin Huang sipped his coffee and shook his head as he thought of what he had seen earlier.

“I thought everything would go smoothly today, but it seems like I was wrong. It’s true that we shouldn’t be too superstitious.”

Chapter 440: Sis Rou Rou

Just as Lin Huang was almost done with his coffee in the alfresco cafe, Yi Yeyu came flying on a Crimson Unicorn. Many patrons were shocked to see the flaming Crimson Unicorn in the air. Lin Huang raised his eyebrow. Yi Yeyu’s family must be incredibly rich as the Crimson Unicorn was a double mutated holy fire-monster. It was usually a powerful Transcendent flying mount as it was hard to be named. Moreover, it was as expensive as a supreme relic at the auctions.

Lin Huang had read about the Crimson Unicorn in the monster encyclopedia before, but it was his first time seeing it. It looked similar to the mythical unicorn on Earth. However, this monster was completely black except for its mouth, nose, eyes, mane, hooves, and tail which were a burning red. Yi Yeyu saw Lin Huang, who was just putting down his coffee and instructed her Crimson Unicorn to land. It landed at outside the cafe. Yi Yeyu leaped and recalled her Crimson Unicorn with a monster taming token. She walked towards Lin Huang in her golden heels. She was already 1.7 meters tall, towering over Lin Huang. With the pair of heels, she was almost 1.85 meters tall.

“Hi, rich lady!” Lin Huang waved at Yi Yeyu.

“What rich lady? What the hell, man?” Yi Yeyu thought he was ridiculous.

“You can afford a Crimson Unicorn, so what else should I call you?” Lin Huang teased.

“This Crimson Unicorn retired from the military. I didn’t have to pay anything.” Yi Yeyu rolled her eyes at Lin Huang and sat across him.

“Waiter, get me an iced coffee!” Yi Yeyu turned around and shouted to the waiter.

The waiter replied and started preparing her coffee.

“Why must you involve me since you’re meeting your friend today?” Lin Huang could see that Yi Yeyu had dressed up for the occasion. The person must be important to her. “I can walk around myself and visit you tomorrow,” Lin Huang added.

“Since you’re here, why the trouble of meeting you on separate occasions? What’s there to be afraid of? My sister won’t eat you.”

“Miss, your iced coffee.” The waiter soon arrived with the coffee.

“Don’t talk nonsense when you see my sister later,” Yi Yeyu took over the coffee and warned.

“Okay.” Lin Huang did not overthink about it. He thought that she meant not to talk back to her sister.

“So, do we visit her later?”

“No, her hotel isn’t far from here. She’ll come here after she checks out from the hotel. I’ve sent her our coordinates, so we’ll wait for her here.” Yi Yeyu turned off the message page as she sipped on her coffee.

“I shall get another drink then,” Lin Huang said and ordered a black coffee.

As his coffee was served, Lin Huang saw a familiar face not far away. He was shocked as it was the man that he had seen in the bathroom when he stepped out of the dimensional relic earlier. The man was walking towards the cafe in a blue suit. Lin Huang turned around and switched on the news page on his Emperor’s Heart Ring so that it would cover his face. He changed the page background gray.

“What are you doing?” Yi Yeyu noticed his odd behavior immediately.

“Don’t you think it’s too bright? I’m hiding from the sun,” Lin Huang came out with a lame excuse.

“Crazy!” Yi Yeyu looked up at the sky. It was cloudy at the moment, and the sun was nowhere to be seen.

As she looked back, she saw a familiar person not far away.

“Sis Rou Rou, I’m over here!” Yi Yeyu stood up and waved immediately.

Looking at Yi Yeyu’s response, Lin Huang lowered his protection slightly and looked at the direction where Yi Yeyu was waving to. He did not see any woman. There was only the uncle walking towards their direction.

“Xiao Yu.” Just when Lin Huang was thinking who Yi Yeyu was waving at, the uncle waved back at Yi Yeyu with a smile.

“Sis… Rou… Rou…”

Lin Huang’s eyeballs almost dropped out of their sockets, and he almost spat out his coffee. The man had a facial beard with hair shorter than Lin Huang’s. His face structure was as sharp as a sculpture’s. He was almost two meters tall and as strong as a hulk. What Lin Huang remembered the most was the thick chest hair that he had seen in the shower. Which part of that looked like “Sis Rou Rou”!?

He then lifted up the protection to cover his face again as he took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

“How could it be him? What should I do?”

Lin Huang did not expect the big sister that Yi Yeyu talked about to be the man that he had seen by accident. The person’s gender was not important anymore. The more important thing here was that he would be dead if the man recognized him. Lin Huang remembered Yi Yeyu saying that this person had broken through immortal-level a few years ago.

“I must not panic! Maybe he can’t recognize me since the bathroom was dark and misty…” Lin Huang consoled himself.

“Is this your friend?” Sis Rou Rou had walked to their table and asked Yi Yeyu as Lin Huang was panicking.

Lin Huang stiffened as he turned around. He looked into his eyes, but everything was normal as if the man did not recognize him.

“Sis Rou Rou, this is my friend Lin Huang.” Yi Yeyu had no idea what happened earlier as she introduced the both of them enthusiastically.

“Lin Huang, this is the Sis Rou Rou that I told you about just now.”

“Hi, my name is Si Kongrou,” Si Kongrou, who was dressed in a suit, introduced herself, sounding completely like a matured man.

“Hi…” Lin Huang was glad as he thought he had managed to escape before she could recognize him in the bathroom earlier. However, his happiness was short-lived when he heard what she said next.

“Kid, do I look good in the shower?”

Lin Huang’s heart skipped a beat as he peeked at her. She was smiling and looked kindly with twinkling eyes at him. She looked like she did not want to talk about it in front of Yi Yeyu.

“What would you like to drink? It’s my treat!” Lin Huang said immediately while beaming.
