Chapter 243: This Boss Is Tough To Steal!
After thinking it over, it was still better to first delve deeper into understanding these young people; perhaps he could find some more definite clues.
He then began flipping through the detailed information on the Underworld Club.
Among them, the development resumes of the two young Scroll Painters Xue Lingling and Wu Xian shocked her immensely.
Just from the development speed of these two young Scroll Painters, it was clearly beyond the scope of a normal “genius.”
“Hiss~ Something’s really off, huh?”
While pondering, she slowly stood up and went to visit the local President Cui Wenxuan.
“Xue Lingling, Wu Xian?” Cui Wenxuan frowned, “Why is the Goddess asking about these two? Don’t tell me your Shenglin Dojo’s problem is related to these two little guys?”
These past few days, he had also learned some general situation from this Goddess.
It was said that a major problem had arisen on the Sacred Spirit Divine Domain side.
“There is indeed that possibility.” The Goddess’s expression was indifferent.
“How is that possible?” Cui Wenxuan’s face looked strange, “How could my disciple and little grand-disciple be related to the Sacred Spirit Divine Domain? If anything, it would be the Undead Divine Realm.”
The Goddess pondered, “Perhaps they did it unintentionally and are unaware of the impact on my Sacred Spirit Divine Domain, but for my Shenglin Dojo, this problem is very serious.”
“…” Cui Wenxuan fell silent.
Anyway, he didn’t believe this matter was related to Wu Xian and Xue Lingling.
But thinking of that little guy’s heaven-defying aspects, it seemed not entirely impossible.
“These two are your disciple and grand-disciple?” The Goddess’s gaze showed an anomaly.
“Sort of.”
The Goddess smiled faintly, “Rest assured, our dojo has no ill intentions; we just want to figure out the reason. This matter is of great importance to my Sacred Spirit Divine Domain.”
In fact, they didn’t care about that bit of loss.
After all, such a small loss was just a drop in the bucket for the entire Sacred Spirit Divine Domain.
The key was the principle of this “stealing,” which directly involved the future safety of the Sacred Spirit Divine Domain.
It was like a sturdy vault mysteriously losing a few hundred bucks; the key wasn’t the loss of those few hundred bucks, but that they completely couldn’t figure out how those few hundred bucks were stolen.
Perhaps there existed some unknown major vulnerability in the Sacred Spirit Divine Domain.
…
Endless Sea Region, aboard the Tianhong Hao.
Wu Xian and the other two “returned to the city,” their expressions varied.
Xue Zhengying and Hai Dafu stared at Wu Xian, their inner shock having long turned to numbness.
The shocking scenes from just now had truly refreshed their worldview, especially the scene of Dragon Lord hard-countering that 【Divine Position】 projection, which could be called a world-famous painting.
Both could clearly feel that Dragon Lord’s status was absolutely above that Sea Serpent Great God; it was just that his Divine Diagram’s development was a bit lacking at present.
But even so, just Dragon Lord’s foundation alone was enough for him to face the Sea Serpent Great God’s Divine Position power head-on.
It must be known that under the same Law Route, 【Divine Position】 forms absolute suppression.
For Dragon Lord to face this Divine Position suppression without flinching was enough to show that Dragon Lord’s status was absolutely above that Sea Serpent Great God.
It was an innate prestige and aura.
Like a former world’s number one swordsman, after losing all his inner force, stepping back onto the path of the sword—even facing the current world’s number one swordsman, he wouldn’t lose in momentum.
Wu Xian wasn’t surprised by this; though that Sea Serpent Great God had some 【Naga】 vibes, his overall concept was incomplete, so naturally he couldn’t compare to the perfectly conceived Dragon Lord.
What truly caught his attention was the clever move of 【Luoshen】 with its heaven-sent Divine Power.
“Don’t tell me all the top clubs have 【Luoshen】 capabilities like this.” Wu Xian asked worriedly.
“That’s for sure,” Xue Zhengying nodded helplessly, “Almost all the top Gold Scrolls of veteran top clubs have Luoshen capabilities.”
“Then how can other emerging clubs even play?” Wu Xian was puzzled.
“Uh,” Xue Zhengying hurriedly explained: “Individual Matches and Hero Tower ban Luoshen; it’s only in large-scale team combats like Otherworld Expeditions that there’s no ban, and Luoshen isn’t something you can just use casually either.”
Wu Xian’s heart leaped with joy: “There are restrictions?”
“Activating Luoshen requires consuming a byproduct of Inspirational Energy,” Xue Zhengying nodded, “It’s quite troublesome to accumulate, so normally, a club’s top players won’t use Luoshen—after all, using it once means saving up for a long time.
But in large-scale contests like Special Grade Expeditions, top clubs will symbolically showcase one or two Gold Scroll Luoshen.”
“Byproduct of Inspirational Energy?” Wu Xian’s eyes flickered slightly.
“Yeah, a very profound power. While Spirit Tamers provide Inspirational Energy to their background Divine Diagrams, they themselves also generate a strange energy, which can form a linking and communication effect with the background Divine Diagram.
People call it: Godfall Mind Power.”
Wu Xian suddenly understood.
In short, gods don’t help for free; to have the background Divine Diagram descend 【Luoshen】, you have to provide the god with sufficient incense and faith.
The so-called 【Godfall Mind Power】 was something akin to incense and faith.
In one sentence: only if you give the god enough incense will the god be willing to descend Luoshen power to help you.
Before, he had felt that “Inspirational Energy” wasn’t quite like the incense and faith from his previous life’s cognition, but now it seemed this world had split the power of incense and faith into two kinds of power.
Combining Godfall Mind Power and Inspirational Energy made it very much like incense and faith.
“Feels like this wave of Luoshen today wasn’t that powerful,” Wu Xian pondered, “There must be strength gaps between Luoshen instances, right?”
“Of course; since there are strength gaps between Divine Positions, Luoshen naturally follows suit.” Xue Zhengying neither confirmed nor denied, then added: “But that Wang Family guy’s Luoshen was clearly different—much stronger than normal Luoshen power.”
Wu Xian nodded slightly; previously Cui Wenxuan had also mentioned to him that the Wang Family’s Snow Mastiff God didn’t even have a 【Divine Position】.
The reason he could activate Luoshen was entirely because of that master from the Upper World.
“Looks like snatching that Deep Sea Demon Whale from the various clubs will be quite difficult,” Wu Xian pondered, “But since we’re here, let’s join the fun first.”
With that, he began crafting Gold Scrolls of Dragon Lord for the two.
Captain Hai Dafu now worshipped Dragon Lord to the extreme and directly opened his private stash, letting Wu Xian select some premium ingredients.
Soon after, two East Sea Dragon King Scroll Paintings were born aboard the Tianhong Hao.
The successive Heaven and Earth Laws fluctuations they triggered made the passengers on the ship secretly alarmed.
For Xue Zhengying, it was naturally the Authorized Original Copy; as for Hai Dafu, he had originally ordered an 【Instance】, but after some thought, Wu Xian decided to give him a non-authorized 【Original Copy】.
This left Hai Dafu immensely grateful and excited.
It must be known that 【Original Copy】 Gold Scrolls were top-tier items generally only obtainable by loyal followers.
“Many thanks to Master Xiao Wu for thinking so highly of me; in the future, if there’s anything, just call on me—Hai Mou absolutely won’t refuse!”
“No need to be polite~!” Wu Xian waved his hand with a smile.
Just as he spoke, he saw Xue Zhengying on the side had already achieved Soul Resonance with Dragon Lord.
Hai Dafu twitched his mouth, feeling deeply struck, “Brother Xue is indeed still the same Brother Xue from back then.”
“Standard operation,” Xue Zhengying smirked, feeling Dragon Lord’s Law Network and exclaiming in amazement, “Haha, as expected of the lord of the sea domain, true dragon of the seas—Xue Zhengying has returned—!”
With that, he eagerly began combining the foundation of the Sea Demon Dragon from back then to comprehend Dragon Lord’s power.
Hai Dafu also started attempting to establish Soul Resonance with Dragon Lord.
Wu Xian returned alone to his cabin room, looking thoughtfully at the remaining Crimson Blood Demonic Flood Dragon materials in his Qiankun Bag.
“Tsk tsk, exactly a pair— this puts me in a bit of a bind~!”
