Chapter 284: Chapter 278: Junior Brother, You Want to Get Revenge on Society?
["Hurry up, the flowers I’m waiting for are about to wilt..."]
["A pair of 3s..."]
["A pair of 5s..."]
["A pair of 2s..."]
["Pass..."]
The sounds of a "Fight the Landlord" game were coming from the computer.
The Elder Celestial Master was completely absorbed in his card game.
Just then, a lazy-looking Daoist walked over.
He scratched his back as he walked.
Showing no concern for his appearance, he approached the Elder Celestial Master.
He flopped down casually into a nearby wicker chair.
The Elder Celestial Master, still playing his game, glanced back at him.
"Shouldn’t you be at the university? What are you doing here?"
Zhong Yan, chewing on a blade of foxtail grass, replied listlessly, "I just came from your little disciple’s place."
"Oh? And how is he? Is he visualizing diligently in the Visualization Room?"
["Bomb..."]
The Elder Celestial Master’s face fell, his brow furrowing.
Zhong Yan smiled. "He’s doing alright. Visualizing quite seriously!"
"Master, is he really the White Tiger Martial God?"
"Damn it... he got away again. If you hadn’t come over and distracted me, I would’ve blocked him just now!"
The Elder Celestial Master pushed his mouse forward.
He said, his face flush with anger.
Then he looked at Zhong Yan. "What, are you questioning my words now?"
"I’m not questioning, just asking!"
"If he really does become the White Tiger Martial God in the future, wouldn’t that make me the senior brother of a Martial God?" Zhong Yan said with a wide smile.
The Elder Celestial Master shot him a look and started a new game.
["Bid for Landlord!"]
["Bid for Landlord!"]
["Bid for Landlord!"]
"Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Under no circumstances should you let him know that he’s destined to be the White Tiger Martial God."
"Even his maternal grandfather is keeping this from him!"
"He’s still in his growth period. Before he truly develops into the White Tiger Martial God, don’t disturb his state of mind."
The Elder Celestial Master warned Zhong Yan sternly.
["A single 3..."]
["Beat that..."]
Zhong Yan laughed. ’To think that in my lifetime, I’d get to be the senior brother of a Martial God.’
"By the way, Master, why don’t you have him transfer to Dragon Tiger University?"
"If he came to Dragon Tiger University, wouldn’t it make things more official?"
The Elder Celestial Master glanced at him from the corner of his eye. "Respect others’ choices. If he were truly interested in Dragon Tiger University, he wouldn’t have chosen Xingwu University in the first place."
"Some things depend entirely on fate. Don’t interfere with others’ decisions, and more importantly, don’t try to force karma."
"Besides, this doesn’t stop me from taking him as my Closed-door Disciple."
["A straight..."]
["Pass!"]
["Pass..."]
["Full house..."]
["Bomb!"]
["Joker bomb..."]
"HAHAHAHA..."
Suddenly, the Elder Celestial Master threw his head back and roared with laughter.
Zhong Yan nodded. "Alright, I’ll remember that. I’ll head back now, then."
The Elder Celestial Master didn’t say a word.
His attention was completely focused on his game.
Zhong Yan sighed softly. ’This old man... so unprofessional. Sigh!’
A long time after Zhong Yan had already left...
...the Elder Celestial Master finally snapped out of it. "Hm? What? What were you saying just now..."
When he looked around for Zhong Yan, he was nowhere to be seen.
The Elder Celestial Master’s expression darkened. ’That little brat... he must have been badmouthing me behind my back again!’
Then, a profound look flashed in the Elder Celestial Master’s eyes.
’If this boy can conquer the Blood Prison Map, only then will he be qualified to become a Martial God...’
["Hurry up, I’ve waited so long the flowers have wilted..."]
...
BOOM—
The sound of a massive explosion rang out.
Inside the Blood Prison Map, countless demonic beasts were lunging toward Lin Yi.
’This is too many, isn’t it?’
’Where did so many demonic beasts come from?’
Lin Yi gripped his Black Gold Tiger Head Spear.
He watched the endless stream of demonic beasts charging toward him.
A rare look of despair appeared on his face.
There was no end to them.
These demonic beasts were simply unkillable in their numbers.
Even with Xiaoqi’s help, he couldn’t kill them all.
By now, a small mountain of demonic beast corpses had piled up at Lin Yi’s feet.
But there were still countless more...
There was no hope in sight.
AWOO—
With a furious roar,
the demonic beasts, their eyes blood-red, surged toward Lin Yi once again.
A cold glint flashed in Lin Yi’s eyes.
He charged toward the beasts again.
Above him, the circling Xiaoqi also seemed to have entered a killing frenzy.
After letting out a clear cry, it dived toward the beasts below at an incredible speed.
PFFT PFFT PFFT—
The Black Gold Tiger Head Spear in Lin Yi’s hands was like a ferocious tiger itself.
It plunged into the horde of beasts, leaving a clear path in its wake.
Any beast that got close to the Tiger Head Spear was slain.
But even so, the empty space he had just carved out...
...was instantly filled by more demonic beasts.
As far as the eye could see, the boundless horde of demonic beasts stretched on without end.
Even if Lin Yi fought without a moment’s rest,
he had no idea when he would ever be able to kill them all.
One of Xiaoqi’s dives took the heads of more than a dozen demonic beasts.
But even that was just a drop in the ocean.
It wasn’t nearly enough to help Lin Yi out of his predicament...
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!—
Streaks of golden light flashed.
In the void, the sound of Daoist scripture chanting echoed.
Talismans floated around Lin Yi.
Any demonic beast that tried to approach was repelled by the golden light.
Lin Yi had used every martial art and Cultivation Technique he knew.
Yet he still couldn’t slaughter the beasts on a massive scale.
With a few consecutive leaps, Lin Yi once again carved a bloody path forward.
A great number of demonic beasts met their end under his Black Gold Tiger Head Spear.
And yet... it still wasn’t enough to resolve the crisis at hand.
REEE—
Xiaoqi’s clear cry was drowned out by the roars of the demonic beasts.
These beasts seemed to have no consciousness at all.
One by one, with blood-red eyes, they knew nothing but slaughter.
They didn’t even seem to feel pain when the Tiger Head Spear smashed into them.
As long as they weren’t dead, they would continue to charge at Lin Yi.
In the next moment,
a demonic beast leaped up and pounced directly onto Lin Yi’s back.
Immediately after, more beasts swarmed in, completely surrounding Lin Yi.
Until he was completely swallowed by the horde.
"AHH..."
With a cry of alarm, Lin Yi’s eyes shot open.
He found himself back in the inner chamber of the Visualization Room.
Only then did he let out a long sigh of relief.
When he looked at the Blood Prison Map again,
it had returned to its original state.
A blood-soaked land, countless demonic beast corpses, and a blood moon hanging in the sky.
It was as if nothing had just happened.
But Lin Yi knew for certain what fate would have awaited him after being pinned down by those beasts.
Just then, Xiaoqi, who had been on the table, fluttered its wings and landed on Lin Yi’s shoulder.
It, too, stared at the Blood Prison Map, its eyes filled with fear and anger.
The moment Lin Yi was tackled,
Xiaoqi had also been dragged down by the beasts.
The fate of the man and the bird had been sealed at that moment.
"Thankfully, that was just inside the Blood Prison Map. Otherwise, the two of us wouldn’t have lived to see another day!"
Lin Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
He hadn’t expected the Blood Prison Map to contain something so terrifying.
An endless number of demonic beasts, launching a ferocious assault on him.
"I need a weapon with real destructive power!"
"I was able to bring the Black Gold Tiger Head Spear into the map just now, which means I can use things from the outside world in there!"
"If only I could get my hands on some firearms. A single spray of bullets could take down a whole swathe of them!"
Lin Yi said, still shaken.
Calming himself, he walked out of the inner chamber.
He poured himself a cup of tea to calm his nerves.
Suddenly, he was surprised to find that the bowls and plates that had been on the table were all gone.
Clearly, someone had come in while he was busy.
Lin Yi frowned. ’Thankfully, this is Dragon Tiger Mountain.’
’The Daoists here bear me no ill will.’
’Otherwise...’
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK—
There was a knock on the door.
Lin Yi put down his teacup, walked over, and opened the door to find Zhong Yan standing outside.
He was carrying a food container.
He said with a smile, "Junior Brother, how’s it going? Master sent me to ask what step of your visualization you’ve reached."
Lin Yi smiled, but it was a bitter one.
Seeing this, Zhong Yan began to open the food container,
taking out several dishes and a serving of rice.
"What’s wrong? Is it not going well?" he asked.
"I wouldn’t say it’s not going well... By the way, Senior Brother, do you have any talismans that are really powerful, the kind that can cause wide-scale destruction? Could you get me a few?"
"Wide-scale destruction talismans?"
Zhong Yan gave him a strange look. "What for? Are you planning to take revenge on society?"
"No, what revenge on society!"
"Sigh, I’ll be honest with you. While I was visualizing just now, I entered some kind of domain.
Who would’ve thought it’d be full of demonic beasts? There was no end to them!"
"If I just had a weapon of mass destruction, I could’ve solved the problem!"
Hearing this, Zhong Yan laughed.
"So that’s what this is about."
"But, I regret to inform you that you’ve definitely been reading too many cultivation novels."
"Dragon Tiger Mountain doesn’t have the kind of high-destruction talismans you’re talking about."
"The kind you’re describing only exists in cultivation novels!"
"I’ve read those novels too. They’re good for a laugh, but that’s it. You shouldn’t be mythologizing those talismans."
"Think about it, if such talismans really existed, what would be the point of modern weapons?"
"If you don’t like someone, WHIZ, you just toss an explosive talisman over and wipe them out!"
"If we went to war with other countries, we wouldn’t even need an army. The Daoists from our Dragon Tiger Mountain could just go, each holding a handful of talismans. WHIZ, WHIZ, WHIZ, we’d just toss them over and flatten their bases!"
"Wouldn’t that be way more satisfying than using their weapons?"
After Zhong Yan finished speaking,
Lin Yi smiled and nodded. His words made sense.
If the talismans from cultivation novels were real, the world would have been unified long ago, and world peace would have been achieved.
Seeing Lin Yi’s disappointment, Zhong Yan smiled and continued, "A Visualization Image is for tempering your mind and spirit. Although I don’t know which Visualization Image you entered..."
"...if there are beasts in there, they exist for a reason!"
"Anyway, it all comes down to one word: fight!"
"If you can’t kill them all in one day, then take two days, five days, ten days..."
"There has to be a time when you’ll have killed them all, right? Everything under the heavens has a weakness. If you can find the way to break through, you might just conquer those beasts!"
"I have faith in you, Senior Brother. And while I can’t provide you with any landmine talismans or explosive talismans, I support you in spirit!"
"Who knows, maybe you’ll even become a Martial God one day?
And if that time really comes, I’ll be the senior brother of a Martial God!"
Lin Yi: "..."
