Chapter 228: Golden Scroll Fish Gill Grand Marshal
But even so, the chances of winning were still not high.
After all, the opponent was an Eight-star Gold Scroll, with Level Seven Spiritual Power, as well as extremely high Soul Resonance and proficiency.
Even though Fish Gill Marshal was a professional matchup, it might not be able to take it down.
“Senior, please advise!”
Wu Xian took a deep breath, and with a slight movement of his mind, the Gold Scroll Fish Gill Marshal emerged beside him.
It had a humanoid fish body, holding an Iron Hammer, covered in dense deep blue fish scales, with huge gill fins covering both sides of its head, blood-red eyes, a fierce expression, and a majestic demeanor.
Fish Gill Marshal was once a capable general under the East Sea, deeply loved by the Sea Race monsters.
In the past, during a certain “Demon Child”‘s sea disturbance, it sacrificed heroically to protect the aquatic citizens, and ultimately, in the worship and mourning of the aquatic monsters, its lost soul was incorporated by the Underworld, becoming a Demon Underworld Envoy managing the aquatic lost souls.
As for why it couldn’t beat that “Demon Child” back then, it could only be said: if you went up, you’d be cannon fodder too.
It could only blame that Demon Child for being fully equipped back then, with a heavenly background, not on the same tier as us low-level minor gods.
Fish Gill Marshal
Version: Original Gold Embroidery Border
Rank: Golden Axis
Painted Spirit: Seven Stars
Spirituality: 108
Talent Traits: Dark Sea Wandering Soul, Soul-Shattering Divine Hammer, Netherworld Sea Domain
As mentioned before, after Scroll Paintings are promoted to Gold Scrolls, they will awaken some powerful Talent Traits, or qualitative changes in Talent Traits.
And that Netherworld Sea Domain was the brand-new power that Fish Gill obtained after being promoted to Gold Scroll.
“Eh~ An Oceanic Scroll Painting Gold Scroll too?” Guo Lianfei was slightly surprised, then glanced at the player info above Wu Xian’s head, “Underworld Club? Sounds familiar.
I remember now, that new club that’s been making an uproar lately?
I heard your club has a formidable senior player, highly regarded by the older generation, just don’t know how much of his past glory he still has today?”
Guo Lianfei’s words carried a hint of mockery, clearly sneering at the “King’s Return” hype that Xue Zhengying had stirred up before.
In fact, all the current top star players held this view.
Especially since some endorsements and commercial orders had been snatched away, this group of current top players were still quite unhappy about it.
You see, times are developing, and generations of Scroll Paintings are getting stronger. Many Gold Scrolls from over a decade ago are no longer viable in today’s Gold Tier League.
Only that older generation still has some sentimentality.
The invincible player who once dominated Tianfeng Province League?
Two words: Hilarious!
Wu Xian frowned as he listened, the opponent’s attitude and tone utterly lacking “reverence” sounded quite grating to him.
After all, he was now one of Second Brother’s “young new fans.”
“Tsk~ Only Tier 4 Spiritual Power, though it looks close to Level Five, but controlling a Seven-Star Gold Scroll should be quite taxing, right?” Guo Lianfei teased.
“Didn’t Senior say to settle it quickly?” Wu Xian furrowed his brows and retorted.
At those words, Guo Lianfei was momentarily stunned, “Yo~ Seems you really respect that old senior of your club, huh? No matter, soon you’ll know the gap between him and us current top players.”
As he teased, the massive Overlord Squid above suddenly erupted with momentum, instantly enveloping the entire Hero Island in a thick oceanic aura.
Wu Xian took a deep breath, responding solemnly.
The Gold Scroll Fish Gill Marshal beside him also displayed its might, and under the multiple Bonds from the Ten Great Yin Marshals Divine Diagram, it showed the powerful sense of oppression of an aquatic Demon Underworld Envoy.
“Combining Undead System and Oceanic System ideas?” Guo Lianfei was secretly surprised: “Pretty novel~!”
“Too bad, in front of my Deep Sea Overlord Squid, it’s just a delicious meal.”
Though he looked down on a newbie player like Wu Xian, he was very interested in that same-system Seven-Star Gold Scroll.
Eating it should bring considerable nourishment and improvement to the Overlord Squid.
However, after the two Gold Scrolls clashed, Guo Lianfei sensed something off, “Hiss~ Just a Seven-Star Gold Scroll, doesn’t look like it has much proficiency, but such a solid foundation?”
With his years of league experience, he quickly gauged Fish Gill Marshal’s Five Dimensions roughly.
After a brief clash, he was shocked again in his heart.
“What, it can even affect the soul of an Oceanic System Scroll Painting?”
That seemingly ordinary Iron Hammer attack seemed to carry some mental-level assault, making his Overlord Squid extremely uncomfortable.
“Hiss~ I underestimated you!”
Guo Lianfei’s expression gradually turned serious, feeling that the Oceanic System + Undead System idea had real potential.
He’d mention it to the President later; it might help push Deep Sea Club’s development.
“Kid, have you ever felt the baptism of the waves?”
Guo Lianfei smirked confidently, and massive waves instantly swept across the field. The Overlord Squid floated above the surging waves like a sea overlord, its tentacles extending to surround Wu Xian and Fish Gill Marshal.
Under the protection of Aura of Wealth Protection, Wu Xian stood firm amid the surging waves.
“Yo~ Still standing?”
Guo Lianfei couldn’t help but be surprised again, as in the past against newbie players, this move would directly eliminate the opposing Spirit Tamer with merciless waves.
However, just as he thought victory was in hand, Fish Gill Marshal in the waves suddenly erupted with a shocking yin soul aura.
The entire arena suddenly darkened, and the waves released by the Overlord Squid became illusory and blurred.
Splash…
Waves of dark, void sea waves emerged over the arena. Guo Lianfei felt as if he had plunged into a terrifying deep sea, experiencing a soul-level suffocation.
It wasn’t just him; the Gold Scroll Overlord Squid seemed to be under some soul-level pressure too.
It struggled to take out Fish Gill Marshal first.
But when its tentacles encircled and suppressed, it saw the Great Hammer-wielding Fish Gill Marshal transform into a ferocious, terrifying Undead Fish, ghosting through the dark void waves.
Bang!
The yin soul fish phantom pierced through the Overlord Squid. It seemed minor, but it plunged the Overlord Squid into a brief stunned state.
“What?!”
Guo Lianfei’s scalp went numb, clearly feeling the Overlord Squid suffer a massive mental-level attack.
While he was shocked, a golden light from another Gold Scroll emerged on Wu Xian’s side.
The five-star Gold Scroll Zhenshui Xingjun made a strong entrance, turning into swirling murky waters that wrapped toward the Overlord Squid from all directions.
The massive Overlord Squid was instantly enveloped in a layer of murky toxic water, its body rapidly corroding and rotting.
Realizing something was wrong, Guo Lianfei instinctively tried to release another Gold Scroll to join the fight.
But he found his body entangled by swirling yin souls at some point, movement difficult, his whole person falling into a dazed state.
It was the Day Roaming God after promotion to Gold Scroll.
By the time he snapped out of it, the Overlord Squid had been pierced through by a sword from a flashy humanoid machine.
“No way, so many Gold Scrolls, where does he get all that Spiritual Power from?”
Before he could figure it out, that massive humanoid machine appeared before him out of thin air, sweeping him flying with one sword.
He was directly locked by the arena instance and eliminated from the field.
The near-death Overlord Squid vanished from the arena as well.
“Too bad I didn’t kill that Overlord Squid!”
Wu Xian inwardly regretted it. Controlling so many Gold Scrolls had already depleted his Spiritual Power, relying solely on Aura of Wealth conversion to hold on till the end.
But even so, it was only by taking advantage of the opponent’s carelessness that he barely eliminated him.
If Guo Lianfei had released a second Gold Scroll, there’d be no way to win this match.
