Chapter 314: Iron Blood Octopus

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It took Fang Ning some time to recover from his disappointment. He thought to himself, ‘Forget it, since I can’t be the Great Emperor, I’ll continue being a multimillionaire for life…

Oh, it seems like I can’t laze around anymore or I won’t even know if I can go online next year, I’ll have to start working immediately.’

As Fang Ning thought so, he checked the System Notification for the past few days.

After all, if he wanted to do anything good, he needed to know himself as well as the enemy.

The utmost priority was naturally to check on the Bodhi Sutra.

Regarding this ability, he used to think that it was just used to avoid evil.

He did not think that Sir, being a gifted learner in fights, had such a great comprehension of it. The greatness of the effect that resulted from what it unleashed was far beyond his imagination.

System Notification: [The System consumed three billion Experience points and highly elevated the correspondence between itself and the Buddhism Ability]

[Met the learning requirements for Bodhi Sutra the Trueness Cultivation Tome. Note: The System has already discovered the perfect supreme edition Bodhi Tactic, also known as Bodhi Sutra.]

[The System consumed a total of fifty-four billion experience points and promoted Bodhi Sutra to Legendary Level.]

[Complete Bodhi Sutra learned, the System gained skills as below:]

[One, Special Cultivation Realm ‘Buddha Transformation’. When activated, it will gain a bonus majestic aura of the “True Buddha”.]

[Second, Legendary Level Verbal Ability “Fire and Brimstone”. Able to change an opponent’s alignment, affected by the opponent’s will and thinking. Derivative Ability: Tame revenants and communicate with foreign intelligent beings.]

[Third, Rejuvenation Technique. Relieves various negative statuses such as severe injuries, near-death situations and poisoning. Effect multiplied when used together with Legendary Treasure “Poison Prevention Orb”.]

[Fourth, Beginner-level Life Restoration. Within 24 hours, revenants of dead beings can be summoned back, with a small probability of a successful revival. Each usage has a consumption basis of ten million experience points. The higher the strength of the being, the more experience points consumed; the higher the consumption of experience points, the higher the probability of success.]

Fang Ning was entirely speechless from reading, the other skills were amazing, only the last one while it was truly defying nature, it was reminiscent of free local games.

It was just like somebody pointing at him and said,

“Next time, don’t ask me why the revival is unsuccessful, ask yourself first how much points you’ve gained…”

For the remaining notifications regarding the battle process such as killing the Hydra Demon, Fang Ning had read too much of those. Hence, he just briefly read through them then quietly went on his path to search for the true person to hold up the sky.

Although it was a serious matter, he needed to do it secretly without being noticed by some idiot, he had fooled it once again…

Fang Ning teleported into the Draconic Arcane Realm to look for the group of Whitestone people.

The main characters on the battlefield left one after another. Misha the Spirit Bear looked high-spirited, showing no signs of being defeated at all, it took big strides towards the Arctic.

Seryozha was immensely worried about his partner’s situation, he could not help but ask, “Misha, the fellow trash talked you just now. We can’t listen to him though we shouldn’t fight him now.

“About the matter of holding the sky, we’ll have to discuss with Lord Knight Ivan and Chief High Priest Bathurst.”

Misha turned a deaf ear without replying, it only held its head high and continued running non-stop as it stepped on four little clouds up above the sky.

A brief moment later, Seryozha noticed that his partner was running in the wrong direction, he immediately stopped him. “You’re running in the wrong direction, we should be returning to Petersburg which is in the southwest direction, not directly south.”

Misha shook its head and said, “No, I want to return to the arctic glaciers to continue cultivating diligently. A year later, I’ll go hold up the sky!”

Seryozha wanted to cry but had no tears, he very much wanted to say, ‘Go hold the sky as much as you want, but please don’t bring me along!’

Nonetheless, he could not say that because once he did, the friendship between the two of them would end and he could no longer summon Misha to possess him!

When that happened, he would be just a normal Russian man. Perhaps he could still gain some honorable positions by being an extraordinaire, but it would be nothing compared to his situation now no matter what.

Currently, even though there were quite a number of people who were secretly mocking him, his position was still unshaken. It was just like how many people were rebuking America’s president, the president was still the president…

He had already foreseen his miserable fate, whereby he would be hanging lonely between heaven and earth…

It was possible that many people would pay him respect, but whether it was his girlfriend or his close friends in the past, it was impossible for him to be connected with them in any way.

Misha could hibernate and could very well sleep for over ten years such that the sky would possibly be stable then, but he needed to be imprisoned a long time for that…

He thought to himself, ‘If God gives me a second chance, I will definitely not challenge Vigilante A again…

‘I knew that his martial art is unparalleled in the world, but I didn’t think that his trash talk skill can even make one go mad…’

There was another fellow who was as devastated as Seryozha, and that was Sir Tom the black cat who was angrily cleaning up the Altar of Death…

“Damn it, is Vigilante A letting go of that white bear because he’s incapable of beating it, or is it truly because of its righteousness in wanting to hold up the sky?

“These don’t matter anyway, it better not be because this fellow has changed his character such that he wants to learn from the group of Buddhist monks to educate his opponents at every turn. If that’s the case, won’t Sir Tom have to worry about wasting time being busy every time?”

While Tom the black cat complained, it pulled out Death’s wolf-man statue from the altar, then tossed it into the Space Ring.

It was an unintentional act due to its upset feeling, but it was noticed by its loyal servant, Old Man Huang Rui.

The old man thought to himself that in the past, Tom the black cat had been respectful towards Death.

Even if the worship ceremony failed, it would not have done such a thing. Could it be that it was actually rebelling already?

If this was the case, perhaps he could collude with Death?

Tom did not notice the thoughts of its own loyal servant, it turned its eyes and said to Old Man Huang Rui, “This won’t do, Vigilante A might often be unreliable in the future, think of a backup plan for me in advance.”

That was right, Sir Tom had always been careful with its plans by taking every possibility into account.

In case Vigilante A wanted to become a monk, it had to look for a new express delivery target in beforehand…

Huang Rui quite admired this, Tom the black cat had always planned ahead and considered many things.

After he thought for some time, he said, “The last time we chased kelp demons away on the ocean, we met the twelve-limbed octopus. I can tell that it has incredible potential, plus it has twelve limbs, so it’ll be very useful in the future.

“I even heard that each octopus limb has its own independent thinking ability, if this octopus advances to its final stage, one demon can go against twelve.”

Tom the black cat was enlightened by the idea, it considered about it “This scheme is not bad, I’ll personally make a move this time, you may return home first. Get some good rest these few days, I’ll ask Maggie to look for a few senior monks to assess the demonic energy issue.”

Huang Rui was not bothered at all, though he nodded and agreed with it, it was silently cursing at it for it was even calling Vigilante A a Buddhist monk just now…

‘Sure enough, Tom is not a cat that attaches great importance to comradeship, it only thinks that I’m useful. By the looks of it, I won’t have any moral burdens if I betray it…’

Tom the black cat was exceptionally impatient, after it cleaned up the Altar of Death, it hurried away and leapt through space.

When Huang Rui looked at the space ripples after Tom left, a sneer appeared on his face.

‘Haha, go look then. If you need a backup, I believe that Lord Death will certainly need me.’

Afterwards, he laughed and laughed but could no longer laugh anymore… He was utterly shocked instead, and his eyes on his old face were widely opened.

Oh…damn!

‘Tom the black cat, we’re absolutely irreconcilable, how could you be so treacherous, I can’t believe I miscalculated that…’

All of a sudden, he realized that this was China’s boundary. If he lost the protection of the Death Skill from Tom the black cat, did it not mean that he was delivering himself to the doorstep?

As soon as he thought so, he immediately wanted to escape.

However, just like what he had expected, at the very next instant, a dragon form vital energy appeared in front of him abruptly.

Everything in front of him turned dark and a voice echoed by his ears.

“Eh, there’s actually such a daring sinner here…”

Huang Rui thought to himself, ‘The crest of my success, my ambition to Death, why is everything brought to a halt?

‘Could it really be that even if Huang Rui is godlike, the black cat is more thoroughgoing?

‘I refuse to give in!

‘I’m Old Man Huang Rui, but it’s only a dumb cat that ruts anytime!’

With a stomach of dissatisfaction, a mind full of confusion, and a chest filled with grievance, Old Man Huang Rui entered the Draconic Penitentiary…

This was how reality was, regardless of how great or how perfect your plot was, a tiny mishap and accident was enough to make everything vanish, leaving just exasperation.

Tom the black cat simply had no clue that its cooperative partner, whom it thought was soon about to be unreliable, had just unintentionally gotten rid of a major problem hidden in disguise.

Currently, it was just searching for its next backup in a hurry, Twelve Arms the octopus.

Long ago, it had already left a spiritual mark on it, and since the octopus did not have such great strengths, it did not notice it. Therefore, it could easily spot the huge octopus that was leading two dolphins.

What made it rejoice was that this octopus was quite aware. When it noticed it on a side of the island, it was between two octopus tribes, seemingly mediating something?

It hid nearby and observed closely.

“Since you’d like to have this island, you’ll have to be honest and state clearly, what’s the reason you’re occupying this island?”

Twelve Arms the octopus was speaking sternly out of justice with the two small octopus tribes.

It had been a very long time since it was shaped into a human spy.

Twelve Arms served justice and maintain social order on the sea.

From time to time, it would exterminate some bloodthirsty sea demons, which mostly comprised of fellows who continued to hunt for joy even though they were clearly full from eating…

Due to these down-to-earth acts, even though most of the giant octopus tribes still treated it with disdain and looked down on it, many small octopus tribes had already started to accept it. After all, its strength and potential were clear to see.

As compared to hearsays of a human spy, the wise octopus was like a human, it valued reality more.

With the existence of Twelve Arms the foreign creature, at least there was something reliable in danger…

It was rare to have a conscientious octopuses among all the octopuses.

Octopuses were all very smart, as long as one was not biased, one could tell the Twelve Arms was actually an innocent and honest fellow.

If it were to be sent to be a spy, it would be easy pickings…

The current situation now was a conflict between two small octopus tribes. They both had numerous octopus demons, and led thousands of normal octopuses, which resembled rank structures in human society.

They were striking at each other violently for a desolated little island that had an area of not even several square kilometers, which had no developmental value for humans.

Since both sides were roughing-up on one another and were unable to come out even, they invited Twelve Arms, who was somewhat famous in upholding justice.

They both believed that while the loyal and bragging Twelve Arms might not pick any one of their sides, but would definitely not be biased towards the other party.

Right then, upon hearing Twelve Arm’s question, a one-eyed octopus from the octopus tribe on the right raised its arm and said, “We want this island to make jars. We want to be like humans who drill wood to make their own fire, by making pottery, we’ll have however big of a jar we want to have.”

Twelve Arms nodded as the reason was sufficient, besides, once they made their own jars, they no longer had to be chased away by humans for stealing jars or being punished by the fellow in the sky…

When the one-eyed octopus saw Twelve Arm’s reaction, it was cheerful.

The head of the octopus tribe on the left that had one less limb, seven-limbed octopus, raised its limb and said, “We want this island to farm fishes…”

The twelve-limbed octopus was distressed from hearing that, it waved its twelve limbs around. “Aren’t there many fishes in the sea? Why do you want to farm them yourselves?”

The seven-limbed octopus said, “I’ve seen a human education material which stated that, only self-farmed fishes will be unlimited.”

When Twelve Arms heard that, it was not very certain if this reason was right or not, hence it looked at its two dolphin brothers.

The black dolphin praised, “That’s right, this is one of the human’s ways of thinking that can be further developed, this leader has great thoughts.”

Since the seven-limbed octopus received approval, it was elated as well, it danced its limbs around to demonstrate its powers to the one-eyed octopus.

Looking at the situation, Twelve Arms felt that both sides were speaking the truth and were being reasonable, so what should he do?

The atmosphere was instantly turned into an awkward situation, both the seven-limbed octopus and the one-eyed octopus eyed each other, unwilling to give way to the other.

The black and white dolphins were smarter, after all, they often followed the human’s fishing boats.

The white dolphin suggested, “This is simple, one of you use the land while the other uses the ocean. Farming fishes require water, so there’s no need for land.”

The seven-limbed fish said in disdain after hearing that, “Did you think that we weren’t as smart as you, dolphin? We no longer want to eat fishes in the sea, humans always throw all kinds of rubbish into the sea.

“Not only do they taste bad, they’re poisonous, and it significantly affects the growth of our children. We’d like to farm clean fishes to eat, so we can only farm them in isolation on the island.”

The white dolphin smiled embarrassedly and did not say anything else.

Just when all “fishes” were unable to come to a solution, a firm voice was heard.

“The current serious issues in the ocean can’t be solved by just speech and resolutions from most of the people…they have to be solved through iron and blood.”
