Chapter 175: The Uncrowned King Of Uncertainty Terminal, The Dragon King Surpassing The Sea King
“Don’t think just because you’re a woman we won’t hit you. If you don’t leave now, don’t blame us for not being polite.” Ace tapped the steel pipe in his hand.
They had good talent, but they were still young and could barely take on a few adults at once right now.
This turf was something they had barely snatched from many gangs at the Terminus.
If they let this woman rummage through it unchecked, others might see and come over with a lucky mindset, leading to a lot of trouble.
“What a coincidence. Don’t think I won’t beat you just because you’re kids.” Xing also took out a baseball bat and lightly tapped her palm.
This kid was too arrogant, not cute at all, far worse than Hook and Clara.
If they had asked nicely, Xing definitely wouldn’t mind switching to another trash heap.
But threats of force? Xing didn’t take that at all.
Anyone else might feel awkward fighting kids, with some guilt about hitting them.
But Xing had none of that.
Who isn’t a baby at some point?
“From your looks and outfit, you don’t seem like someone from outside the city. Why are you here?” Sabo was much smarter than Ace and asked puzzledly.
Which scavenger at the Terminus wasn’t filthy, in tattered clothes with countless patches?
Among the scavengers, Xing stood out like a crane among chickens, too eye-catching, instantly noticeable as different.
“I like it, is that not allowed?” Xing said righteously.
“Like it? What a strange hobby.” Sabo was quite speechless, then pointed to the piles of trash mountains around: “You can go over there, that’s unclaimed public area. There, there, and there too—don’t go, those are claimed by the gangs here.”
They called them gangs, but gangs that eyed trash heaps? You could guess their caliber—just a dozen or so punks huddling together for warmth.
Anyone with real strength would go to sea as pirates.
“There are too many people and little trash over there. Besides, the trash is unclaimed, free—who says it’s yours?” Xing didn’t want to go.
Those gang territories had plenty of people too. Xing chose here because it was empty and the resources were decent for scavenging.
“Of course it’s by strength. Why talk to her? Just drive her off.” Ace couldn’t hold back and charged at Xing with the steel pipe raised.
Xing didn’t even move, just lightly tapped with the baseball bat.
“Ouch.”
Ace couldn’t react at all, his little face twisting slightly in pain, but he endured it and swung the steel pipe at Xing.
People in this world seemed especially tough, even the kids. Xing thought somewhat surprised.
Then, using her advantage in reach, Xing poked with the baseball bat, pressing Ace’s forehead and pushing him back a few steps. The steel pipe swung past her without touching.
“Ace!”
Seeing Ace charge, Sabo didn’t hesitate and rushed at Xing from the other side.
Xing used one hand to keep Ace at bay with the baseball bat, and with the other snatched Sabo’s steel pipe mid-swing, then lightly tapped back.
This time she used a bit more force than on Ace, and Sabo immediately felt dizzy, barely able to stand.
Ace tried various ways to get around, but Xing’s baseball bat shadowed him, always firmly pressing his forehead, not letting him get close.
Ace soon got anxious and threw the steel pipe straight at Xing.
Xing deflected the steel pipe with her other hand, then slightly lifted and dropped the baseball bat.
“Clang~”
“Ugh~”
Ace squatted down clutching his head tightly, tears nearly spilling from his eyes.
“You said it’s by strength yourself. What now?” Xing asked with hands on hips.
“What’s so great? You’re just older and bigger. Wait till we grow up—we’ll beat you flying!” Ace said unconvinced.
“We’re no match for you. We’ll let you have this place.” Sabo said.
“Hmph, we’ll snatch another turf. Sabo, let’s go.” Ace said.
“Why snatch? You can keep scavenging here. And is this turf just you two? Where’s your father?” Xing scratched her head.
Ace and Sabo paused.
Public areas had too many wolves and little meat—nothing good. Going to gang areas meant fights, maybe many.
Continuing here was of course best.
“Dead.” Ace said grumpily, but his body honestly started rummaging nearby trash.
Sabo hesitated a moment—his parents were as good as gone anyway—and finally said: “Dead.”
“What about mom?”
“Dead too.”
“Mm-hmm.”
“What a coincidence, I don’t have parents either.” Xing said delightedly.
Ace and Sabo looked complicated. Was not having parents something to be happy about?
Their gazes toward Xing instantly lost some hostility.
“I won’t scavenge here for free. Sister will protect you.” Xing patted her chest.
“But I won’t stay long. How about this—I’ll teach you an ultimate move so you can protect yourselves later?”
“Who wants that? When we grow up we’ll be way stronger than you.” Ace pursed his lips, but his tone was much friendlier.
“Worry about yourself first. Look over there.” Sabo pointed to Xing’s left rear.
Xing turned and saw dozens of people approaching them.
“Boss, it’s that woman—so pretty, no idea why she’s here unprotected. I’ve watched a while; she can store and retrieve things from thin air. She definitely has a treasure!” A punk reported to the leader amid the crowd.
“Good job. Big reward when we get back.” The leader said.
The crowd drew near, seeing Xing’s appearance clearly.
Though her face had some smudges, even in this world of bizarre looks, let alone on the Xianzhou, Xing’s beauty was top-tier.
“Indeed supreme grade.” The leader stared dazedly at Xing.
Should he offer her to the nobles? A bit reluctant.
“Women are trouble. Can you take them? If not, my brother and I will hold them off—you run.” Ace looked disdainful but stood by Xing.
At ten years old they weren’t clued in yet, but hanging with bandits and punks, they knew too well what happened to a beauty in those hands.
As for themselves, worst case a beating— no big deal.
“Who’re you looking down on?” Xing said disdainfully.
“Beauty, be smart and come with me.” The leader leered.
Truly here to cause trouble.
If it were an idealistic villain, Xing might chat a bit.
But this low-level sleaze? No interest in hearing more.
“Bang!”
No one reacted; Xing had already knocked the gang boss out with one baseball bat swing.
“Boss! Brothers, charge!”
Dozens rushed at Xing.
One bat per person from Xing; Ace and Sabo gritted their teeth and stepped up too.
Not about loyalty—just pure act of justice, couldn’t stand bullying the weak.
Though the weak wasn’t Xing.
But she looked like the weak one.
Ace and Sabo together could handle a dozen adults no problem, but dozens?
And fighting didn’t mean no injuries.
Soon after stepping up, Ace and Sabo took several hits.
But oddly, it didn’t hurt at all.
No time to think; they just attacked relentlessly.
Less than a minute, Xing downed all dozens—not even time to run.
The two, who had barely downed three or four each with all their effort, stared surprised at the unscathed Xing. This woman’s strength was beyond expectations.
But if you’re this strong, why scavenge trash?!
Reasonable?
Still, they were confident they wouldn’t be weaker than Xing once grown.
Xing glanced at several more groups approaching in the distance, shouldering her bat: “You want a piece of me too?”
Wandering the lawless Uncertainty Terminal this long without attention would be weird.
She’d just downed a few, so others abandoned solo attacks and went to fetch their bosses.
“Feisty chick, I like it—you’re mine.” A three-meter-tall meat mountain said greedily.
Xing wasn’t polite either—since he liked it, time for a big baseball bat treat.
Like a bat superman, even the intimidating meat mountain couldn’t take one hit.
Ace touched his head—he’d taken two hits without passing out; clearly she went easy.
She’s really nice!
Again, dozens downed unscathed in moments; the other groups turned and fled.
From this moment, Xing was the undisputed ruler of the Uncertainty Terminal!
Xing could rummage any trash heap—no one dared stop her!
……
Dan Heng marveled in the ocean at this world’s species diversity, top-tier in most worlds.
A shadow over a hundred meters long enveloped Dan Heng.
Dan Heng looked up slightly, leaking a bit of immortal dragon scion aura.
Unlike Sea King’s aura, which made Sea Kings feel affinity and obedience.
Dan Heng’s aura terrified Sea Kings, instinctively making them submit.
End effect the same: Sea Kings obeyed Dan Heng.
No—even if Sea King appeared, conflicting with Dan Heng’s orders, Sea Kings would obey Dan Heng.
The hundred-meter shadow stiffened briefly, then slowly lowered its head, gently rubbing against Dan Heng like a little pet.
Dan Heng patted the near-sea king’s huge, ferocious head.
In most worlds, thirty-meter blue whales were about the ocean’s biggest creatures.
Here, hundred-meter-plus Sea Kings were among the smallest.
If he were still Luofu Dragon Lord, he might consider relocating some Sea Kings to the Lin Yuan Realm.
Flipping onto the near-sea king’s back, Dan Heng grasped its tentacles and swam freely in the sea.
This world’s 99% oceans—he’d explore them.
……
Goa Kingdom was just an island nation, limited population; its capital tiny compared to modern metropolises.
Limited people, plus bizarre looks.
Train crew’s looks were dimension-crushing.
No surprise, Himeko, March 7th, Su Xiaoli ran into trouble.
“Beautiful misses, may I invite you to my castle for dinner?” A noble said feigning elegance.
“Sorry, we’re leaving the city soon.” Himeko said amiably.
Goa Kingdom capital wasn’t big—nothing worth seeing.
So-called spotless, East Blue’s most beautiful realm—nothing special to the train crew.
“What a pity. Beautiful misses, will you be my wives?” The noble cut straight.
“No way!” March 7th said disgustedly.
“Guards, escort these three misses to my castle.” The noble ignored and ordered directly.
Several noble guards surrounded them.
Townsfolk watched from afar with pity and envy.
“Sigh, the more backward and chaotic the world, the more this happens.” Himeko sighed.
In these backward worlds, no networks to kill time—playing with women was most nobles’ favorite pastime.
So train crew beauties eyed by perverts was like natural law—unchangeable, inevitable.
In these other worlds, no one knew Stellar Train Nameless’ fame.
“Leave it to me, Himeko sis, March.” Su Xiaoli pressed down March 7th’s crystallizing hand.
Su Xiaoli stepped forward gracefully, invisible mental energy seeping into those around.
Su Xiaoli might not beat Shanks, but ordinary people? Piece of cake.
“Big brothers, can you bear to harm us weak women, aiding a tyrant?” Su Xiaoli asked weakly.
Guards looked enchanted: “No… we won’t.”
“What are you saying? Hurry and grab them for me!” The noble fumed.
“What if he insists on grabbing us?” Su Xiaoli pointed at the noble.
“He dares? This scum dares grab a goddess—deserves death.”
“I’ve hated this guy forever! Kill him.”
“This beast—goddess, don’t worry, I’ll handle him!”
Guards awakened to justice, vying to show off before Su Xiaoli.
“You… what? Dare insult a noble? Tired of living?” The noble raged.
“How’s he treat the people?” Su Xiaoli asked.
Guards spilled the noble’s beastly deeds, racing to talk to the goddess.
“Would you share your wealth with the poor?” Su Xiaoli asked the noble.
“Like hell—yes, of course.” The noble started to curse but instantly matched the guards’ expressions.
“Then…” Su Xiaoli began ordering, but Himeko stopped her.
“Meaningless. Even if shared, once we’re gone and he snaps out, he’ll reclaim it, maybe worse, squeezing more money. Not helping—harming them.” Himeko shook her head.
A continent might allow giving to farther folk, but this island—commoners nowhere to run.
Su Xiaoli paused, realizing—true backward societies crueler than imagined.
“Then, trouble big brothers.” Su Xiaoli said helplessly to the guards.
“Leave it to us—hated this guy forever!”
“Bossing everyone, no skills yet lives best.”
“Noble so great? Just good reincarnation?”
Guards grinned viciously, surrounding the noble.
“Let’s go.” Himeko turned; no interest in the rest.
Backward society’s rotten nobles—kill all might hit innocents, but kill every other and some slip net.
Kill old nobles, new ones rise—little meaning.
Unless the system changes.
So train crew wouldn’t initiate; only notorious or ones like this exception.
Once Himeko and others were far, guards snapped out.
Seeing the noble they’d hacked down, guards panicked.
Done for—no place for them in whole Goa Kingdom!
Run!
Out to sea quick!
