Chapter 1059: Ancient Divine Weapon, the Myriad Beasts Cube!
Translator: Lordbluefire
“You are talking nonsense. I was the one who deciphered it!”
Lu Zhiruo was anxious.
“Qi, a little girl like you is at most in your teens. You have not even fully learned how to read and write all the words in our language. How is it possible that you can decipher this world-class difficulty question?”
Lu Xiong snorted with disdain. “Who would believe you even if you tell everyone?”
The art of spiritual control was a very mysterious subject. Most of this subject’s content had no way to be explained using logic, and they were solely dependent on that individual’s comprehension ability.
This was also the reason why Lu Xiong knew he could do this.
There was an 80 to 90% chance that Lu Zhiruo couldn’t prove that she was the one who did this. And so what even if she could prove it?
(Sorry, I’ll just rebut it.)
Naturally, this behavior was somewhat shameless, but to someone who lived in darkness, even killing people was acceptable to them. So what if they snatched the belongings of others?
“Look, there are so many people here, but why is no one speaking up for you?”
Lu Xiong asked.
Honestly speaking, everyone just wanted to protect themselves.
Those who came to the Dragonspirit Manor would roughly be classified into two types. The first type were great teachers who mainly focused on the study of spirit runes and wanted to come here to advance their skills. These people would be clad in their great teacher robes.
Because they would be able to get some preferential treatment like this.
The second type were people who came to purchase runes.
Lu Xiong was clearly the second type. Moreover, the spirit runes sold in the manor were all extremely expensive so those who dared to come would usually be very wealthy and wouldn’t lack money.
For this type of people, they were usually very powerful, and it wasn’t good to offend them.
“You have nothing else to say, right?”
Lu Xiong surveyed the cube in his hand. (Why isn’t there any reaction? This shouldn’t be the case, right? Could there be some secrets to it? Forget it, I will research more later.)
Lu Xiong didn’t want to stay here for long and planned to leave the manor directly.
“You are not allowed to leave!” Lu Zhiruo shouted loudly. “If you have the guts, wait for my teacher to come!”
“Which shitty person is your teacher?”
Lu Xiong ridiculed. He didn’t stop and even increased his speed.
“Hold it right there!”
Lu Zhiruo was so anxious that she wanted to cry, but she was helpless.
Lu Xiong was worried that troubles might happen if he stayed too long, so he was preparing to execute his movement art and leave here swiftly. However, at this moment, a charming woman who was pushing a wheelchair was blocking his path.
On the wheelchair, an old man who looked to be on the verge of death could be seen sitting on it.
“What’s the matter?”
The old man cast a side glance at Lu Xiong, but he was directing his question to Lu Zhiruo.
“Why? An old dying geezer like you wants to speak up for her?”
Lu Xiong coldly laughed. He didn’t waste words and directly started scolding.
BOOM!
A ball of black smoke exploded and a five-meter-tall ancient giant ape materialized behind him. It then bared its fangs at the Undying Old Man.
The giant ape was clutching a stone pillar, preparing to smash it down at any time. Also, the terrifying aura radiating from it caused everyone’s breathings to turn sluggish.
“A grandmaster-level spiritual controller?”
The Undying Old Man’s lips curled a little.
“If you know fear, just scram!”
Lu Xiong berated.
“Ai, I originally didn’t wish to act, but I have no choice because this girl’s teacher is Sun Mo!”
The Undying Old Man sighed.
“Sun Mo?”
Lu Xiong frowned. This name sounded a little familiar.
Sun Mo’s name was just widely known in the great teacher world, so people who were not great teachers might not have heard of him. Lu Xiong found this name familiar because he had heard some great teachers talking about him when he had gone to a restaurant for a meal.
The Undying Old Man had a self-mocking smile on his face.
However, a 3-star great teacher was truly insufficient in terms of prestige. If someone like Secondary Saint Zhou was this girl’s teacher, even a 3-year-old child would know this girl.
“Go and invite Great Teacher Sun to come!”
The Undying Old Man instructed.
“Yes, master!” The middle-aged man left.
“Whose house’s leash is untied, allowing you to come here and bark?”
When Lu Xiong saw that the Undying Old Man was determined to interfere, killing intent rose in his heart.
“Kill him!”
It would create huge trouble to kill someone in the Dragonspirit Manor. But since Lu Xiong had the cube, he didn’t care anymore. After all, this was a battle spoil obtained from solving the second world-class difficulty question.
As long as he understood it, he would surely enter a higher level.
ROAR!
The giant ape howled in anger and took a step forward. The stone pillar in its hand hoisted up, and just when it was about to smash the pillar down, the Undying Old Man turned and stared at it.
Ga!
The giant ape was seemingly immobilized and directly froze on the spot. Its body also started to tremble uncontrollably.
“Eh?” Lu Xiong started. “What are you doing? Crush him!”
The giant ape didn’t move.
“KILL HIM!”
Lu Xiong roared.
This giant ape was something he had summoned from a totem when he had been adventuring in some darkness ruins. It was the battle pet that he relied on the most.
Through these 50 years, this giant ape had torn many of his enemies into pieces and had never failed before. But today, it was actually disobedient?
Putong!
The giant ape knelt.
“Are you a fake grandmaster? Your awareness is actually weaker than a beast? Don’t you know who you cannot offend?”
The middle-aged woman mocked.
“Sir, you are…?”
Lu Xiong changed his term of address.
“Just you alone? You are not qualified to know the name of my master!”
The middle-aged woman coldly snorted
Lu Xiong gritted his teeth. He understood that he had just kicked a steel board. Hence, he didn’t dare to stay here anymore and immediately exerted force with his legs, preparing to flee. But after moving three meters away, a powerful surge of spirit pressure gushed forth from that old man.
Boom!
Spirit pressure overflowed.
Lu Xiong was like a fly that was caught by a large hand. He was directly slammed down and couldn’t move at all.
At 20 meters around the old man, those spectators who were watching the show were also affected and they were all kneeling.
The powerful spirit pressure was like a thousand-jin rock pressing down on their bodies, wanting to crush their bones.
“D…don’t kill me!”
Lu Xiong’s expression changed.
This old man could depend on spirit pressure to kill him. Since that was the case, how strong must he be?
“I…I’ll give you the secret treasure!”
Lu Xiong was terrified, thinking that the other party wanted to kill him because of the secret treasure.
“Great Teacher Sun will decide whether to kill you or not!”
The Undying Old Man looked at Lu Zhiruo and squeezed out a smile. “Go and take back your item!”
The papaya girl didn’t move. She was silly but not stupid. The old man must have helped her because of her teacher. Hence, she didn’t want to make her teacher owe this old man a favor.
(Ah, this is troublesome then!)
Lu Zhiruo felt very depressed. She would be able to receive her teacher’s praise after deciphering the puzzle. But who knew that there would be troubles arising?
(Damn, who the hell is this Sun Mo?)
Lu Xiong was depressed.
After Sun Mo came to the manor, he was either doing operations or in seclusion, wanting to invent new spirit runes. It was very rare for him to show his face. Also, all the experiments he was participating in were considered major secrets of the manor, and they were strictly classified. Hence, only very few people knew about this.
Not long later, Sun Mo arrived.
Bai Wenzhang accompanied him as well.
The audience who was currently lying on the ground or kneeling had been very unhappy. But after they saw this scene, they were directly shocked and all of them wanted nothing more than to bury their heads in the ground to hide.
(My heavens, this Sun Mo can actually make Dean Bai appear personally?)
At this moment, these people felt so much regret that they wanted to die.
If they knew that the teacher of this girl had so much face, they would have killed Lu Xiong even at the expense of suffering heavy injuries to help her.
When Lu Xiong saw Bai Wenzhang, even his limbs started to tremble.
(It’s over, as expected, I have offended a major character I shouldn’t have offended.)
“Great Teacher Sun, he was bullying your disciple.”
The Undying Old Man had a friendly attitude.
There was no solution. Who told Sun Mo to be a genius?
After reading through Sun Mo’s information, the Undying Old Man also retracted his arrogant attitude.
“What’s going on?”
Bai Wenzhang questioned with a solemn expression.
A servant of the manor immediately came over and reported the happenings.
He was here as a guard, and his job was to guarantee that no one damaged the metallic floor.
Pak!
Bai Wenzhang immediately sent a slap over and smacked the teeth of the servant off.
“Go get yourself punished and scram out from the manor.”
The servant didn’t dare to speak. He knelt and thanked Bai Wenzhang for not killing him and immediately fled.
There was a set of rules in the manor. As long as these visitors didn’t harm the people of the manor, they could do whatever they wanted to. The servant also followed this rule to do things.
But this time around, the rules were clearly not applicable.
Sun Mo was someone who could make Bai Wenzhang break the rules.
“Your disciple is truly overflowing with talent!” Bai Wenzhang praised.
(She actually solved this puzzle? Impressive!)
“Zhiruo, are you injured?” Sun Mo frowned.
“Teacher…”
Lu Zhiruo lowered her head and had a look of self-reproach on her face. “I stirred trouble for you again.”
Sun Mo glanced at Lu Xiong. (Daring to bully my lucky mascot? You must be tired of living.)
“We will give him to you. You can decide how you want to kill him.”
The middle-aged woman interrupted. Her underlying meaning was clear. (You have to remember this favor.)
“This is something I obtained after I finished deciphering the second question. You are a robber!”
Lu Xiong knew that there was no use begging for his life. Hence, he decided to go all out and twist white and black.
“Quickly handle the matter!”
Bai Wenzhang urged.
From his point of view, was the identity of the one who deciphered this important?
No, it was not!
“Zhiruo, prove it to him!”
Sun Mo was someone on the side of reason. If he wanted to kill, he would make sure that the person who died was completely convinced.
“Great Teacher Sun, why must you waste time? He is just an ant. It doesn’t matter even if you kill him straight.”
The Undying Old Man wasn’t fond of Sun Mo’s style. It was too dogmatic.
“Zhiruo, come and thank the Undying Old Man for his help first!”
Sun Mo knew that the Undying Old Man wanted him to remember this favor.
Bai Wenzhang shook his head and smiled. He patted Sun Mo on his shoulder and indicated for him not to be depressed. For a major character like the Undying Old Man, even if ordinary people wanted to do him a favor, he wouldn’t give a damn about them.
“Oh!”
When Lu Zhiruo expressed her thanks, Lu Xiong was stunned.
The Undying Old Man?
One of the five Doyens of the Dark Dawn?
(Damn! Isn’t my luck a little too bad today? Let alone a Doyen, just any star general under a Starlord is enough to make me take the initiative to step back. Ai! Indeed, greed has harmed me!)
(But who the hell is this Sun Mo? He can actually make such an impressive major character take the initiative to express good will toward him?)
“Teacher Sun, I’ll have to depend on you later.”
The Undying Old Man smiled amicably.
“I will do my best.”
Sun Mo wouldn’t suffer a disadvantage. There wouldn’t be many chances for him to personally operate on a major character like this. He could take the chance to collect some data.
“Teacher!”
Lu Zhiruo passed the metallic cube with both hands to Sun Mo.
Sun Mo didn’t take it and activated Divine Sight instead.
Myriad Beasts Cube.
“This is the sacrificial divine weapon of a certain powerful tribe in ancient times. With their secret arts, they sealed over tens of thousands of the souls of ancient spirit beasts into the cube. As long as one has the cube, they will be able to casually summon the spirit beasts within to fight as their battle pets. This object truly allows one to control a myriad of beasts!”
“Good item, how did you get it?”
Sun Mo was curious.
Lu Zhiruo hurriedly explained.
“So this is the case!”
Bai Wenzhang was enlightened. After that, he surveyed the papaya girl. “Your perception is really strong!”
Lu Zhiruo scratched her hair, feeling embarrassed at being praised.
“Since he wants to snatch your secret treasure, you should use your secret treasure to kill him!”
Sun Mo instructed.
“Mn!”
Lu Zhiruo inhaled deeply.. She felt no psychological pressure in killing bad people.
