Chapter 336: Who Else But Me?

Under the eyes of many people, the Spirit Bear Misha became more excited than before.

After it landed on the ground, it roared towards the sky and beat its chest, shaking the surrounding glaciers and almost triggering an avalanche.

Seeing how domineering it was, the yellow dog Xue Ba immediately shrunk on itself and felt worried in its heart.

That thing was so strong and so powerful that it could probably rip its face clean off in a single move.

The other had already said it; their dog is useless, so they have to invite the bear…

Thinking about this, Xue Ba suddenly felt like it was hit by a mountain of pressure. It silently decided that it had to improve its strength quickly.

‘I can’t date while training anymore… I’ll need to train while dating.’

Everyone saw the ten meters high black stone monument look like a toothpick when the large white Spirit Bear’s paws fell on it.

It circled around the stone monument and pulled at it carelessly but… but, the black stone monument did not move at all.

At this moment, Gu Buwei lightly said, “Don’t waste your energy. Like I said, if the Heavens don’t want it to move, it won’t move.”

The Spirit Bear glared at the rice-grain-sized man by its feet. It considered, and its figure suddenly shrunk from thousands of meters to less than a hundred meters. It instantly looked capable and tough.

As expected, a little body often harbors a great soul.

As a result, the stone monument on its paw looked suitable in size now.

It appraised the stone monument in satisfaction, stood with its feet apart. Then it held the monument with both paws and roared to the sky while pulling up.

Gu Buwei shook his head again.

Sure enough, although the Spirit Bear’s face was flushed red, that stone monument still remained intact as if it had taken root in the earth.

At that time, the onlookers in the distance all felt admiration towards Gu Buwei.

“As expected from the distinguished disciple of the Azure Mountain. He really is sharp-sighted. He saw through this stone monument in a single glance.”

“Indeed, just like what he said, this stone monument was born from the will of Heaven. Only the chosen one would be able to pull it out.”

Some people immediately started thinking after hearing those words.

Someone suddenly said with malicious intent, “This bear and dog were invited by the Venerable Dragon God. Seems like this stone monument is not destined for him. Otherwise, heaven’s will would have let the bear and dog shake the stone monument.”

A lot of people immediately became greedy upon hearing that.

Now was the time for chaos!

Many Chinese myths have repeatedly stressed that a strong treasure would allow them to suppress destiny and survive the disaster.

However, it was all very mysterious. They would be able to suppress destiny, but how could they suppress something that was intangible?

The answer to that was by relying on a powerful treasure, they could deter others and prevent them from challenging them. Whoever dared to pick a fight would be killed immediately.

It was like having a big mushroom in a modern country. As long you had it, you could progress in peace. You would not have to worry about others invading and killing you in your homes.

This was called suppressing destiny and letting the national movement last. As long as they did not die, there will always be a chance to stand up again.

On the contrary, without this, others would then dare to think of ways to dismember you. The entire country would change its name and drown in the river of history, and of course, destiny would naturally disappear as well.

At this moment, a tall, headstrong man shouted into the valley, “Master from the Azure Mountain, according to you, whether this stone monument moves or not is dependent on heaven’s will.

“Then I want to ask. Will only a chosen one be able to pull it up? Is it like the ‘sword in the stone’ like UK history?

When they heard it, they instantly sharpened to attention. That analogy was quite accurate. One really should not judge a book by its cover.

Gu Buwei laughed. His voice was not loud, but it carried and spread around the snowy valley.

“You’re absolutely right, brother. Indeed, only those who are recognized by heaven will be able to move the stone monument.”

Listening to this, everyone started to become lively, as if buying the lottery. Everyone wished to be the person to win the jackpot.

As long as tough characters like the Venerable Dragon God were excluded, they instantly thought that their chances became much higher!

“Perhaps the chosen one is among us already,” someone said.

Another person immediately continued, “Yes, who knows what people the heavens like? Maybe they like people like us.”

“Look at your jutted chin. How could the heavens be interested in someone as ugly as you? They will definitely choose someone tall and powerful like me.”

At that time, the valley became very lively and was filled a happy atmosphere.

That atmosphere was just like the village leader steaming buns…

At this moment, heaven was the village leader, and that black stone monument was the piping hot large steamed bun.

Everyone wanted to obtain that large steamed bun.

As a result, the crowd of onlookers started to slowly surge towards the stone monument.

In their view, if two strong men could not use force to pull it out, that was because they were not chosen by the heavens. However, if it were them, maybe the stone monument would automatically fly over to them and even become small and adorable.

The crowd thought happily and very quickly gathered around.

The black dog Brett bared its teeth and scared the crowd as they slowly encircled.

It was extremely angry. It toiled for half a month before it was finally able to dig it out of the snowy Kunlun Mountains. How could it just leave everything to heaven?

These guys were actually thinking of grabbing food from a dog’s mouth. In other words, they were ‘looking for death’.

Many people cowered at the sight of the black dog looking so fierce. However, they seemed to have thought of something and suddenly became braver.

They cried out in succession, “Hey, you black one, the Master from the Azure Mountain has already said that only the chosen one would be able to pull out the stone monument. Now move your companion and yourself aside and give the chance to us…”

Besides, this black dog’s master was the Venerable Dragon God. He was a hero, so he would not do anything to us.

Maybe we are King Arthur…

All of these people were intelligent humans. They had long known the customs of the Dragon God, and that was to never bully the weak.

If it were the Hydra Demon or even the Whitestone Elder Ancestor standing here, they would not dare to approach, much less talk so loudly even if they were given a hundred guts.

When the black dog saw that it could not scare these people, it instantly became impatient. However, upon thinking of its master’s style, it did not dare to make a direct move at the moment.

It helplessly said to the yellow dog, “Boss, what do we do?”

The yellow dog Xue Ba frowned. This treasure was so powerful that it was sure, if nothing else, that its material must be incredibly rare.

How many things were there that could withstand being pulled by a Lake-level master, followed by an Inland-sea master!

It complained, “How troublesome. You really should have just kept quiet and get rich after finding a treasure. Why are so many people involved?”

The black dog said with a face of injustice, “Of course I didn’t announce it everywhere. A few minutes after I dug it out, that gigolo appeared. I really don’t know how he knew I was here… I suspect it was him who leaked the news.”

The yellow dog Xue Ba turned around and carefully looked at Gu Buwei.

It immediately understood, “Damn it, it’s this person. Old Black, you train all day long, but you don’t have a very good memory. Who are you calling gigolo? That fella is Gu Buwei. He’s from the Azure Mountain. Our master killed two of his people.

“There’s also another one called Chen Tianxiao. He doesn’t dare to play games because he was afraid of being discovered by someone he knew, so he’s still moving bricks in the Draconic Arcane Realm. I saw him before when I entered to report to the Venerable White Dragon. Your guess is right. It must be this Gu Buwei who is causing trouble for us.”

Gu Buwei immediately felt two pairs of dog eyes glare hatefully at him, but he did not explain anything and only looked up at the sky, as if this had nothing to do with him.

At this time, seeing that the two dogs did not make any substantial moves to stop them, many people became bolder and started walking very close to the stone monument.

A 100% profit could let a person forget oneself, much less this heaven-sent artifact.

The black and yellow dogs were completely helpless now. They could only watch the people slowly approach.

However, when they were around one hundred meters away, a green light suddenly flashed above the stone monument.

The green light brushed past all directions. At that time, all the people gathered around turned back and wailed.

“Damn it. How dare you secretly hurt people? Weren’t you the dogs of a Hero?!”

“That’s right, aren’t you afraid that the Hero will punish you?”

This time, Gu Buwei lightly said, “It was the stone monument that hurt you. I thought you were all clear on this. If you’re the chosen one, then you must first be able to communicate with heaven and earth, and perceive the Heavenly Maxim.

“If you don’t even have the ability to communicate with heaven and earth, then how can the heavens acknowledge you? Among mortals, the majority has always been made up of the greedy and the stupid. Those who have self-knowledge are few and far in between.”

The timid ones who had walked slowly saw clearly what had happened.

They immediately rejoiced and felt schadenfreude. No matter the time, for many people, it was always a blessing to see others’ misfortune.

They were not in the same position after all. On the contrary, they were competitors. There would only be one chosen one, so after the first few takes away all the misfortune, the ones in the back would naturally feel happy.

“Hehe, this Master from the Azure Mountain is right. The green light from earlier was from the stone monument. If you don’t even know what hit you, how could you deserve to take the stone monument?”

Those who fell to the ground all scrambled to climb out after hearing those words. What happened earlier was not severe at all, but the implication of punishment was very clear.

They did not think that the Heavenly Axiom would be the same as the Venerable Dragon and have a heart of justice and not kill innocents. If they continued approaching it, they would definitely lose their lives!

They then understood that not everyone had the right to touch the stone monument!

Do not think that just because the black dog, yellow dog, Spirit Bear, and the Master from the Azure Mountain are fine even though they were standing near the stone monument, that you would receive similar treatment as well!

Do not think that just because others could not pull the stone monument out, that you are better em!

You do not have the qualifications to even come close to 100 meters of it!

They then realized that all those who were standing around the stone monument were at least Pond-level. They all perceived the Heavenly Maxim before!

As for these people who were fighting for the steamed bun, which ones of them were Pond-level masters?

A few real Pond-level masters just arrived at this time.

However, they all only watched from a distance away from the valley. None of them were impatient.

Why?

For one, some of the masters had very good relations with the Venerable Dragon God. Secondly, no one wanted to rashly offend the Venerable Dragon God.

Their disciples and they still had to buy all sorts of secret products from the Dragon Clan. Whether it was products to help breakthrough their bottleneck, or products for maintaining their appearance, or products for fighting in the battlefield, they were all in very high demand…

Compared to these immediate and tangible benefits, this Divine Monument artifact, although excellent, was a little far off.

Of course, they wanted it too, but they knew how to hold themselves back. At least, they would have to see the Venerable Dragon God’s thoughts before deciding on what to do.

They could not be the same as those people who were blinded by the artifact and think that whoever snatched it first would be able to obtain it.

The black and yellow dogs were a little surprised after hearing Gu Buwei speak up for them. The looks they directed him were much less fierce than before.

This guy, was he really that broad-minded?

Gu Buwei smiled lightly and looked up at the sky.

At this time, a person riding on a flying sword in the sky arrived, late.

Everyone looked upwards at the majestic man. Who else could it be but Vigilante A?

Standing below the stone monument, although Gu Buwei had an ordinary appearance and strong capabilities, his demeanor really could not be compared.

However, why did he arrive so late?

Was it appearing last deliberately to show off?

Was he not afraid that other Pond-level masters would snatch away this stone monument?

Although those three animals were strong, they were obviously trained well by him. They would not bully the weak and use their strength to eliminate their competitors.

Vigilante A stopped not a hundred meters above the stone monument.

Indeed, the stone monument did not emit any green light to stop him.

The crowd felt that it was natural. Of course, there was also some imperceptible disappointment and frustration.

Gu Buwei was right. This stone monument was the type to dislike the poor and pay attention to the rich…

Could it be that this heaven-sent stone monument wanted to be taken away by Vigilante A?

“That’s impossible. If that were that case, his two dogs and one bear would have been able to take it away long ago. Why would it wait until he came himself?”

“Not necessarily. It’s an artifact, after all, so it’ll want at least the main person to appear before being willing to commit, right? It can’t just let two dogs take it home.”

At this time, in the sky.

The System rejoiced, “That’s good. Everyone saved me face by not moving. However, of all the times it could appear, why did it have to be while I was upgrading the System Building?”

Fang Ning said triumphantly, “That’s all thanks to me for arranging various industries before and letting you make some friends. Those Pond-level masters watching from the side all have some connections with us. If you were completely alone, you wouldn’t care about having friends at all, and this time, none of them would care about your face and just snatched it anyway.

“Mr. Rich Boss, what do we do now then?” The System took the opportunity to propose its idea, and started to blame others, “I’ll tell you first. My strength can’t compare to the Spirit Bear’s. If even it can’t pull it out, then I can’t either.”

Fang Ning only said, “Not necessarily. Use my Khorium Ore Heaven’s Eyes first. Let’s see what this stone monument is exactly.”

System Notification: [The System consumed 20 Morality Bars and 10 Aggro Bars, activating the Legendary Esoteric Skill ‘Spirit Gaze’.]

[The System paid 1,000,000 Experience Points, activating additional skill ‘Clairvoyance’.]

[The System observed the unknown mysterious stone monument.]

[The System discovered the mystery of the stone monument.]

When Fang Ning was watching from the System View, he was first incredibly speechless, but he then grew excited.

He said pretentiously, “Hand the body over to me. Looks like the chosen one is this Master Fang right here.”

The System rejected him, “No, I also know why those two couldn’t pull it out. You want to act again…”

Fang Ning grit his teeth and said lowly, “Are you giving it to me or not? You turn against me right after upgrading your shop, and you call yourself a Hero?”

[The System is evaluating…]

[The System is evaluating…]

[The System has decided to pick up rare treasures…]

Fang Ning wanted to cry. Sure enough, when faced with such large benefits, Sir System never gave in.

“I have no time to let you act. I need to secure this precious thing in my bag before the other find out about truth.” The System spoke while suddenly transforming into a hundred feet Azure Dragon.

The Azure Dragon then faced the valley below and spoke.

“Haven’t you heard before? A treasure sent from heaven should belong to the virtuous. I carry the mandate of Heaven. Who else does this stone monument belong to but me?!”
