Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
From the audience watching the scene from the big screen, the regular people did not feel anything out of the ordinary. They could only see from Vigilante A’s expression and actions that he was slightly slowing down.
However, a few Extraordinaire Powerhouses furrowed their brows and whispered to one another.
“This feeling, it’s very similar to the Descended Ones from the Upper Realm. Are they split personalities?”
“It should be like this. Vigilante A is a True Dragon from the Upper Realm and is a Hero. A spiritual Descendant will not devour the soul of its Host, but only exist within that person in symbiosis. The question is, who is he?”
“Currently, no one knows the truth. What we do know for sure is that Dragon God’s soul is indeed heavily wounded. The current him now must awaken that human soul that is living in the same body and let him fight on behalf of the Dragon God. That’s why we had the feeling that their difference was so large…”
“Everything makes sense now,” when some of them heard what was said, the immediately spread the news.
While the audience was speculating, the Wise Grand Tutor launched a blood energy shot again, but Vigilante A did not dodge.
Just as some people were about to scream, silver armor appeared on Vigilante A’s body and easily blocked the beam!
“As expected, the Dragon Clan has many treasures. Finally, someone who can force him to use his talismans…”
Quite a few people nodded secretly, unsurprised.
The sack-clothed old man, the Wise Grand Tutor, was the same. His smiled lightly. To be the first person to force Vigilante A to use a defense talisman, he would be famous already…
At this moment, Fang Ning lightly said, “Very good. To be able to force me to use my Heavenly Armor, you’re not half bad. However, this is as far as you get.”
These words of his were spoken purely out of force of habit to act…
When that blood energy came for him, Fang Ning did feel slightly perturbed. However, the Legendary armor was indeed amazing. He did not feel anything at all, not even a light brush kissing his face.
After that, a thick, black thread-bound book appeared in his right hand. It was the precious game book, only now the game book was slightly shivering.
Fang Ning said softly, “Don’t be afraid, baby. Just follow what we did that time to the target. Your Daddy System is watching…”
At this moment, looking at the scene, the audience in the outdoor stadium cried out in surprise.
“The Dragon God will be using a talisman for the first time?!”
“What treasure is it?” Although it looks to be just an old book, it must be incredible. In novels, it’s always the old treasures which are more amazing.”
“That’s for sure. In the past, the Dragon God always faced his opponents bare-handed. He never used weapons before. He only ever used his fists or sword, or his True Dragon Breath! This is the first time he is using a talisman. This immoral person who is taking advantage of his injured state will be finished in an instant!” someone explained for free.
In the large stadium, when the beautiful female fans of the Eastern Dragon God saw this scene on the big screen, they all rejoiced and recovered their confidence again, and started to clap and cheer fiercely.
The others who already knew the inside story earlier sniffed at the contestant opposing China’s position.
“Hmph, a bunch of clueless people. That is just a useless book with no trace of magical energy. It probably can only be used as a brick!” A powerhouse among the Kochin people said.
“Exactly. Vigilante A’s True Dragon soul has retreated due to injuries. Right now, it’s only being controlled by an ordinary person’s soul. No matter what kind of weapon it has, it will not be able to do anything much.”
At this time in the spherical arena, the Wise Grand Tutor smiled lightly. Since he was present, naturally, he felt it most clearly.
There was no trace of magical energy appearing on that black book. Furthermore, that soul which secretly gave him such a large amount of pressure had hidden and was nowhere to be found.
The person who appeared instead was just a regular person in his eyes. He had killed countless amounts of people like him in his thirst for power, so naturally, he did not feel afraid at all.
If it weren’t for the fact that his opponent had that formidable suit of armor, and that overbearing figure, he would be able to destroy him with a flick of his hand.
He finally had the thought to say something, “Haha, that must be the Dragon God’s amazing weapon. If I really can be beaten by that thing, then I will be incredibly honored… However, my dear friend, you are not the True Dragon. How much power can you extract from this talisman? What a shame, to cast pearls before swine, to waste this simple and unadorned artifact, haha…”
Although his words were not arrogant, the audience could hear the disdain in his tone.
Fang Ning was furious at his words, ‘Screw you! It’s fine if you taunt me, but don’t bring my precious game book into this.’ It would be impossible for him to grant him an easy death. He would have to pummel this bastard into a retard to be satisfied!
He said, “Hmph, soon, you will know the true power of my miraculous book!”
“Babe, eliminate the enemy!”
His voice was broadcasted across the arena, and very quickly entered the ears of everyone present. At this time, everyone only felt a blast of rage emerging.
The Venerable Dragon God was angry!
Without waiting for their reaction, the thick, black old book suddenly blossomed a blinding white light. With a ‘whoosh’, it shot furiously towards the sack-clothed old man, the Wise Grand Tutor’s head.
An incredibly thick steam of blood energy suddenly appeared on his skull, but with that white light, it suddenly turned into nothing!
On top of that, the white energy turned into the shape of a dragon, and spiraled towards the sky. Even the spherical arena had no way of stopping it.
“Bang!” the sound shook the heavens, and everyone heard a tragic wail.
“How can this be, how did you manage to attack my true body in the present world! I, I won’t accept this! I can’t die, I want to surrender!”
An unbelievable voice trailed. From the big screen, the audience could only see that every inch of the Wise Grand Tutor’s body was covered with fractures like bloody tattoos. His pupils were wide and dazed.
Following that was the host’s voice. He announced, “The Wise Grand Tutor from Guifang Country has surrendered, the match belongs to the Venerable Dragon God! We have a winner!”
Only then did the audience react. Many of them stood up and started applauded fiercely. This match had too many turnarounds, it was like a rollercoaster for many people!
In the thunderous applause, not long after, the unmoving Wise Grand Tutor suddenly started bleeding from all his orifices. He fell on his back, and all the blood energy in his body dissipated. Afterward, his entire person exploded, leaving behind a pile of grayish-white ash!
Those kinds of Powerhouses are always like this. Even if he acted like a pig, he was still a Descended pig! 1 He was a Heavenly pig…
After this scene happened, the big screen was suddenly filled with various boisterous and tumultuous noises.
“That was too amazing!”
“As expected of The Dragon God. Once he uses his talisman, he’s invincible!”
“Huhu, be proud. What a bunch of ignorant people, they do not know about the Dragon God’s greatness. Even if he is heavily injured, simply using a treasure will be enough to let him beat you into crumbs!”
On the large stadium, not only did the Dragon God Fanclub not get alarmed, the atmosphere among them was burning radiantly. They all cheered and danced and raised their boards in support.
On the stadium, the Kochin people stared with dazed eyes. They had thought of all sorts of beginnings, but they never could have predicted the ending…
However, not all the Powerhouses were surprised. There were a few who were lightly nodding their heads. This was more like it. If he didn’t have any trump cards, how could this Venerable Dragon God have carved out such a name for himself?
…
Rewinding a bit, to when that dragon-shaped white energy flew towards the sky…
At a high altar somewhere in Guifang Country.
The altar’s true color was a bloody pool.
Right now, the high-nosed, wide-eyed boys lying by the bloody pool were all unconscious. Their veins on their white wrists all cut open, and fresh, red blood was slowly trickling into the pool.
In the middle of that bloody pool was a black skull, and every time fresh blood flowed into the pool, it would flash a little. Afterward, blood energy would trail towards the void, and as if there was something taking away the vibrant redness of the blood, it would very quickly turn dim.
Beside the pool, there were seven middle-aged men standing guard. All of their bodies were carved with bloody tattoos similar to that Wise Grand Tutor.
Not long after, someone suddenly looked towards the sky in fear.
“What is that?”
They only saw a gout of white energy in the shape of a dragon, charging down towards the black skull!
Thick blood energy automatically appeared above the black skull, and shot toward the sky.
‘Bang’, the blood energy and the white energy collided together, but the blood energy was completely defeated!
Then, the white energy continued charging towards the statue of the black skull.
Seeing this, the seven middle-aged men immediately grew terrified and extended their hands at the same time. Several blood energies emerged from their bodies and rushed towards that white energy.
However, it was too late, and that white energy rushed into the skull.
With a ‘boom’, the skull split open…
The seven middle-aged men immediately became dazed. After a while, they all clutched at their chest and started bleeding from every orifice. Then, they fell head-first into the bloody pool…
The entire high altar was submerged in silence. There was only the sound of fresh blood dripping. However, there was nothing left in the pool which could absorb the vigor of the blood…
After a while, a hundred meters away from the high altar, in the high underbrush, a group of people dressed in camouflage were swiftly creeping closer.
“Hurry, hurry, they’ve been bleeding for more than an hour. I’m afraid they won’t be able to make it anymore.” someone said in a low voice.
“Don’t panic. First, confirm if that the Wise Grand Tutor’s guards are all dead. Those darn Extraordinaires, as long as one of them remains alive, even ten of us will not be able to stand up to him.” another person warned.
Someone peeked out their head, and used a pair of military grade binoculars to look at the high altar.
“Let’s hurry. When that dragon-shaped white energy came, I saw it very clearly. Those guards set up a blood contract with the Wise Grand Tutor. That skull is where the Wise Grand Tutor’s true body is. Since it is shattered now, those bastards in league with him must be completely unnerved!” An old but vigorous man wearing a necklace of wolf teeth urged.
“Alright, Old Man Oljeitu, you are the wisest among us. My friends, let’s go save our village boys.”
…
In the System Space, the precious game book was currently obediently hiding behind its master’s figure, and receiving its Daddy System’s fury.
The System raged, “You stupid book, how dare you steal my Morality. You completely consumed the 45 Morality Bars which I saved up! Even I haven’t been that heroic before…”
He said placatingly, “Didn’t you learn a new ‘Atmospheric Morality’ skill? It completely refills every time you activate it, so there’s no need to be so petty. You can activate it every week.”
The System said, “Mr. Multi-Millionaire Host, let’s not talk about the Morality thing. This stupid book completely ruined our plan of playing weak. That Wise Grand Tutor was so obviously killed by that stupid book, not because he self-destructed… I’d better melt that book down. I can’t let it be as smart as I am.”
However, Fang Ning was very gratified. The precious game book accurately graded his power system as ‘water level… hard to determine. Take heed not to go into battle’. Earlier, it must have been afraid that its Master would get into an accident, so it went all out and moved out of its own initiative to consume Morality and beat that vile person to death…
It really touched his heart. They had other ways to earn money, considering that the concern shown from the game book was something hard to find in this world…
He could not let the System act rashly, and hurriedly said, “You can’t blame it. You definitely wouldn’t have known that it could actively use skills and consume morality. That time when I demonstrated how it automatically attacked that target, you looked down on it, and said that it had no real capabilities…”
The System was momentarily speechless, “…Alright then, what now? We’ve killed two people in succession. No matter how weak we act, I don’t think there would be anyone who would dare to challenge me again.”
Fang Ning had to immediately divert the System’s attention, lest it took the chance to burn the precious game book while he was asleep. He would cry himself to death…
With this stimulation, he was suddenly struck by inspiration, and he said, “No problem. If they don’t want to invite us, then we can make our own arena. We’ll fight whenever we want to, and we won’t have to waste time duping the audience anymore. That Legendary Interspatial Equipment’s interspatial spirit Achilles loves tournaments. I’ll let Anderson change some parts of the System Project. It’ll be fine if we just add one more objective.
Anderson was just about to finish handling all the specifics of the System Project. If they found out that the Warden’s project objectives are changing yet again, they would definitely try to weep but have no tears, so adding just one objective would be enough…
When the people above decide things carelessly, it was the people at the bottom who become busy. Fang Ning could finally enjoy the treatment that the people above had.
The System then completely stopped, and said sulkily, “Hmph, since Mr. Multi-Millionaire said that much, I’ll stop blaming it. In the future, if it dares to act out of its own accord and steal my Morality again, I’ll definitely burn and remake it again!”
Fang Ning secretly told the precious game book telepathically, “Don’t listen to it. In the future, as long as it doesn’t interfere with your Daddy System’s monster farming, just steal what you need to steal. Listen to Master’s signal… Master is here, you don’t have to be afraid.”
The beloved game book lightly fanned its cover to convey that it understood.
Only then did Fang Ning think about checking the System Notification to understand exactly what happened.
System Notification: [Advanced-level Game Book consumed all 45 of the System’s Morality Bars. Activated ‘Sure Hit’ effect. The attack will inevitably hit the opponent’s real body.]
[Advanced-level Game Book attacked Wise Grand Tutor.]

After reading, Fang Ning nodded. Seems like that person was an evil person which brought ruin to a certain party. It was good that he died early. That place would be able to have peace for a period of time.
However, the System and he were neither Gods nor Saints. They could give a helping hand if they saw warning signs raised in the new era, but they cannot manage too much. It was enough if they could watch out for this good old China.
