Chapter 3: A Kind Person
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The mysterious voice did not reveal much information. However, this did not stop Feng Xia the transmigrator from calmly analyzing the situation and thinking carefully before making a bold deduction:
This was clearly a world where extraordinary powers existed!
And the person he was encountering at this moment was very likely an old monster of this world, who had been suppressed in this place by someone called “Wu Guan” for more than 3,000 years.
“Hmm, this means he must be a super hardcore otaku…”
Feng Xia tutted reflexively.
Coupled with what the voice had said earlier, he could basically guess the identity of the mastermind behind the large cluster of black spiders he had encountered earlier.
Although he did not know what the owner of the voice wanted, he had killed so many black spiders. He supposed he had ruined whatever that person had planned?
Feng Xia was even using the same type of logic and imagination as silly netizens to come out with a drama script of at least 1.5 million words in his mind:
This old monster fell in love with “Wu Guan” but they later became deadly enemies and he was defeated and suppressed. Furthermore, the suppression had lasted for 3,000 years.
During the 3,000 years, the old monster had tried to break through the suppression seal time and time again. Through some mysterious method, he raised a large cluster of black spiders in the outside world in order to help him completely tear open the 3,000-year suppression seal from the outside!
In the end, Feng Xia appeared out of the blue, killed many of his spiders and messed up all his plans.
How could the old monster not hate him?!
Therefore, while Feng Xia was exhausted, he took the chance to invade Feng Xia’s dream!
“Well, whether these guesses are true or not, that’s what you would read in novels…” Feng Xia subconsciously rubbed his chin and tried to come up with a countermeasure.
“It was just a small matter of me stewing your pet and eating it, right? Do you have to be so persistent? It’s been 3,000 years! It’s already been 3,000 years! In the end, you still refuse to let me off and even send a junior to irritate me?”
“And the transmigration has already happened. After that, all these strange things don’t seem so weird anymore…”
“I just wanted to have a taste of a roasted spider! I haven’t eaten meat in 3,000 years, but now, all the black jade spiders have been scared away! My best laid plan for the last 3,000 years has been ruined…”
Wait, wait, wait. What in the world are you howling about?
Feng Xia, who was still frantically trying to analyze the situation, almost choked on his own spit when he heard this.
“Stop! Stop! What did you say those spiders are for?”
“Food, of course!”
The old voice chuckled, like it seemed to have managed to escape from a state of madness. “Hey! A kid like you don’t understand, do you? I once read in a book that the taste of roasted black jade spiders is extremely similar to the lime crabs from the East Sea. After discovering the nest full of black jade spiders, I had spent a total of 50 years luring them here…”
After a long silence, Feng Xia finally managed to squeeze out a word.
“Huh?”
Could it be that the grand plan this guy mentioned was only about roasting spiders to eat?
Then why did he waste time to analyze a bunch of useless information!?
For a moment, Feng Xia’s face looked a little twisted. Director, this is different from the script we agreed on…
“Kid, now that you’ve ruined my grand plan…”
At this moment, the old voice became fierce again. The clouds that were swirling in the surroundings started rolling about and then turned into blades that flashed past him like he was sitting in an explosive area!
Feng Xia felt his ears buzz. All he could see was a vast expanse of whiteness!
“How do you want to die?!”
“… I think…”
Feng Xia opened his mouth subconsciously, but just before he spoke, his past experience gained from arguing with people (no, discussing war strategies) on the internet made him suddenly notice something unusual.
In the end, what he said was this:
“… Wait a minute. Actually, you can’t touch me at all, can you?”
“You…”
“It’s so difficult for you to even roast a spider. If you really had the strength to kill me, you would have done so long ago. Otherwise, why would you go through so much trouble if you have that kind of power?”
“You…”
“Stop saying you, you, you. Are you a repeater with only one line?”
“How dare you underestimate me!”
“Hmph, are you feeling guilty because I exposed you? If you still have that kind of power, then show it to me!”
At this moment, Feng Xia seemed to be possessed by the spirits of countless internet trolls. He seized the loophole in his opponent’s language and attacked him without hesitation. He made his opponent speechless for 30 seconds and achieved an unprecedented great victory!
“Since you want to die, I’ll fulfill your wish!”
Clang! Clang! Clang!
As an angry snort was heard, the clouds around Feng Xia quickly accumulated. WIthin the surging clouds, a tall figure formed by churning clouds came walking out of nowhere.
In the next moment, this tall figure roared and charged towards Feng Xia!
“Charge!”
“For real?!”
Feng Xia raised his hand to block the attack as an unstoppable force came flying at him. His body shook, and then he was sent flying backward like a tattered cloth bag!
As he landed, the cloud giant closed in again.
“Charge!”
“… Eh? This guy’s strength seems…”
Feng Xia raised his hand to block the attack again, but then he realized that the strength in his arm was clearly much weaker than the last time!
He suddenly looked up at the cloud giant with an even stranger expression. “Is this old fellow really at his end? However, if he doesn’t really have much strength left, then how did he manage to create this giant?”
Since he knew that Feng Xia had come out of nowhere to fight the black jade spiders, then he must already have some understanding of Feng Xia’s strength. If he could not kill Feng Xia but created such a big cloud giant instead, he would have only wasted his strength!
A fool?
A mad man?
Or does he have some other plan in mind?
After dodging the cloud giant’s third punch, Feng Xia narrowed his eyes slightly as he tried to run the many guesses that appeared in his mind.
Moreover, as he had expected, the strength displayed by the cloud giant had weakened significantly after the third punch!
“But whatever this guy is up to, I’ve run out of options.”
Thinking of this, Feng Xia stopped dodging. Instead of retreating, he advanced and faced the cloud giant head-on. “What a shitty thing you are!”
To put it bluntly…
He was fighting back!
Boom, boom, boom—
On the same spot, Feng Xia finally collided with the cloud giant. It was like a small storm had erupted, with clouds being blown in all directions. From afar, ripples could be seen spreading out in a circle from the battlefield.
At a certain moment.
Feng Xia growled deeply as he threw a forceful punch, scattering the cloud giant.
However, before he could heave a sigh of relief, the clouds not far away suddenly started churning. Immediately after that, another tall cloud giant walked out.
“Roar—”
The battle erupted again.
“Hehehe, fight, fight… keep fighting…”
In the depths of the vast clouds, a pair of eyes darted about, fixated on the battle.
“The more ‘cloud soldiers’ you kill now, the deeper your connection with this space will be. Later, I will be able to use this connection to possess your body… and then find that bastard, Wu Guan, and get my revenge…”
Truly, he was still stuck within a seal and could only use a pitiful amount of power.
However…
The technique he cultivated had its own uniqueness.
The space that was filled with clouds seemed to be in Feng Xia’s dream, but in fact, it was already connected to the owner of the voice’s consciousness and the cloud soldiers were formed using his spirit. Therefore, every time Feng Xia killed a cloud soldier, it was equivalent to him fusing a trace of his spirit into Feng Xia’s soul!
Once his spirit had accumulated to a certain amount, leading to a qualitative change, he would be able to possess Feng Xia and replace the young man!
“You’re young but quite capable.”
The voice sighed in a mocking manner. “How unfortunate. But when I, Lu Chenhai, dominated the world, your ancestors were not even born yet. If not for that bastard, Wu Guan…”
At the mention of this name, the owner of the voice let out a low cry, as if he had descended into madness again.
However, at this moment, he noticed that the mysterious young man suddenly squatted down after killing the second cloud soldier, and then gently wiped the ground. Before Patriarch Chenhai could observe more closely, a third cloud giant had formed and was soon locked in battle with the young man.
“What’s the kid doing? Is there something on the floor?”
Patriarch Chenhai frowned slightly.
He took the chance to scan every inch of the ground carefully while Feng Xia was still fighting the cloud giant, but he did not find anything unusual.
“This kid must be playing tricks… squatting down again! What the hell is on the ground?!”
Patriarch Chenhai almost went crazy. By right, no matter what this young man did, it was impossible to escape his eyes. After all, the difference in their cultivation levels was obvious!
However, even though he looked until his eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and even after several cloud soldiers fell to the ground one after another and swept through the ground multiple times, he still could not find out what Feng Xia had picked up!
“Being deliberately mystifying! Putting on a show!”
“I would like to see what kind of trick you’re playing!”
At this moment, another cloud giant appeared beside Feng Xia while he was still fighting a fierce battle.
“More are appearing each time?”
Feng Xia was stunned by it at first, but then he could not help but feel overjoyed. “This old fellow is such a kind person. He sent so many cloud giants for me to kill so that I can pick up another round of attribute light balls! Indeed, even in an alternate world, there are many kind-hearted people…”
According to his calculations, every cloud giant that was killed would definitely drop a “Spirit” light ball!
Every time he absorbed a “Spirit” light ball, it became easier for him to deal with the cloud giant. In addition, the surrounding clouds would also become thinner!
“Once I absorb a bit more… I can get out of here!”
