Fang Ning tapped on his chest confidently. “Sir, this is your territory, why am I afraid? Besides, I’ve experienced a lot and seen many ghosts and creatures. Oh right, I’ll have to warn you, if you let this awesome fellow into prison, will it escape?”
The System said, “The System Prison has a strict Maxim, once it enters, it’s impossible for it to leave without my permission. Other than you, I won’t let outside beings enter other places.”
Fang Ning thought about it, ‘That’s true, other than myself, whether it’s the blacksmith’s forge or the alchemy lab, creatures that can enter those places have already been killed by the System and sent over there as materials…’
Fang Ning said, “Let that idiot in to the prison then…”
The System replied, “Very well, I’ll start to put it in… Oh no, wait a minute, this fellow seems to be a little too big, I think that the current cells won’t be able to occupy it, they need to be expanded.”
Fang Ning was puzzled. “Only souls are allowed to enter this System Space, and those souls can be of any sizes, just like when I cultivated the Basic Cultivation of the Spirit, I was able to be as tiny as a speck of dust…”
The System said, “Eh, host, you know quite well now, that’s exactly right. When its soul enters, I’ll be able to compress it into a speck of dust, but I feel that its soul carried a powerful talisman along and that talisman is not small in size at all. Before I know the chant, I can’t compress it flawlessly, I’ll only damage it, would I destroy my precious?”
Fang Ning was both surprised and elated, “Of course you won’t… This fellow actually brought its dowry along, where did this generous god come from?”
The System said, “Look at you, aren’t you just the same when you’re surprised, forgetting about the most important information? Of course it came from India…”
Fang Ning was speechless. “You’re a hero, System, you have to learn to be more magnanimous, stop raking up the past, I didn’t make a fuss out of it back then.”
The System continued, “Stop with the nonsense, you should leave the System Space and return to your body first, I need to renovate my System Space and it’ll take up some time.”
Fang Ning could not hold it in anymore, so he asked, “How big is its talisman exactly that you have to make such a big move, why do I feel like you’re about to dig a hole for me again?”
The System said, “It’s definitely not meant for you, it’s for the new students…”
Fang Ning left conscientiously, and returned to his own body.
After a while, he became bored to death, he could neither read his novel anymore, nor play his games.
Fang Ning asked inside his mind, “How long are you digging that hole for?”
The System responded, “It’s just a small matter, I just need to shirt the other buildings which will waste some time, it’ll take about an hour.”
‘You’re clearly making a huge fuss over this…’ Fang Ning was at a lost for words as he thought.
Since he had returned to his own body and smelt the delicious dishes from the banquet restaurant, in the end, he decided to eat and to meet his dogs for one last time.
It was Zhao Ying’s first time having a meal with her savior, while she could not contain her excitement, she kept reminded herself to be self-restrained.
She had no clue that she had already met this man for a few years already…
Fang Ning was obviously unlike the System which always had a cold look, instead, he smiled gently and exchanged formalities with Zhao Ying, then he gave the black and yellow dogs some words of encouragement.
Upon seeing their owner, both the black and yellow dogs that were devouring their food uncontrollably started eating elegantly, but in less than five minutes, they began eating madly again.
When Fang Ning saw them, he knew at once why the two of them were eating so crazily. It was because they were both greedy, they knew that they would not be able to enjoy such a good meal in a long time after leaving, and they did not have a portable fridge like the System, so naturally, they kept stuffing food into their stomachs…
After some thoughts, Fang Ning summoned his precious game book to inform him of their information, so that he could keep a snapshot of it at the same time, which could be used as comparisons in the future.
Their information appeared inside Fang Ning’s mind.
[Xue Ba the yellow dog. Sex: Male. Hobbies: Read, eat, and doing them with bitches, work for its owner for rewards etc. Age: 251. Identity: Vigilante A’s loyal hound.]
[Alignment: Neutral, righteous.]
[Power Level: Cutlery-level. Description: Unnecessary description, extremely high qualifications, expert in reading.]
[Brett the black dog. Sex: Male. Hobbies: Bodybuilding, eat, watch Animal World (TN: The Chinese counterpart for National Geographic), bodybuilding with bitches, work for its owner for rewards etc. Age: 234. Identity: Vigilante A’s loyal hound.]
[Alignment: Neutral, righteous.]
[Power Level: Bucket-level. Description: Size of a bucket, has a strong body, extremely high qualifications, but carries a bomb around, defenceless, the bucket might be bombed.]
Fang Ning thought about something as he read till the end, ‘When the black dog regains his strengths back to Pond-level, its flesh will be much stronger.’
‘Below Pond-level, whether it’s Magic Defense, Talisman Defence or a talented defensive skill, if neither one of those were set up in advance, most cultivators will have weak flesh defense, such that an ordinary human technology weapon will possibly become its fatal threat.’
‘A Pond-level’s flesh is much stronger instead, there’ll be no need to fear being threatened by those ordinary human technology weapons. The “Dragon Brand” handphone is about to retire, sigh, I’m getting a headache, I’ll have to trouble myself again then…’
…
“I want to fly higher and higher.”
“My wings stirring up a storm and my heart whistling.” (TN: Lyrics from 汪峰’s 飞得更高.)
A gigantic eagle with a three meter long body, wings that were seven to eight meters long when stretched, and feathers that shone with a metal-like silver light was flying willfully high up in the sky. The tune of a certain pop song was also heard from time to time.
It was the Sky Eagle who had parted from Vigilante A for days, at that very moment, it was stretching its wings apart as it circled high up in the sky to its heart’s content.
Behind it, followed a visibly much tinier golden eagle.
That golden eagle had a body that was a meter long, wings that were two to three meters long when stretched, when the sun shone onto its feathers, it reflected metal-like reddish-brown colors.
Just like the Sky Eagle, it was circling high up in the sky, and it was singing along as well…
“Soaring freely in your heart…”
“Wandering forever under the brilliant starlight…” (TN: Lyrics from 凤凰传奇’s 自由飞翔)
Just like that, it sang another renowned pop song…
The Sky Eagle rolled its eyes after it heard it, it was thinking narcissistically, ‘As expected, I was born elegant and eminent, if it wasn’t for Brother Dragon who made a masterpiece for me, I wouldn’t have noticed that side of me…’
‘After just a few days in this new world, I already have a female admirer, it’s a pity that our body sizes have such a huge gap, this female admirer is about the same as my children when they were younger…’
The Sky Eagle turned and said, “Jin Sui, stop following me, I’m a Divine Eagle, I won’t mate with ordinary birds like you, look at you, you’re still so small…”
The golden eagle blinked its eyes, “Big Brother Sky Eagle, I can still grow bigger, I’ll be able to be around your size…”
Just as the Sky Eagle was about to continue, it suddenly looked up to a direction, it seemed like something afar had attracted its attraction.
It flapped its wings and said, “Return to your mountain first then, find me only when you’ve grown bigger… I have something I need to see now, I won’t be singing with you.”
Jin Sui did not understand what it meant, it looked towards the same direction but did not see anything at all, it only saw white clouds that were always in the sky.
After a brief moment, it noticed the Sky Eagle being impatient, so it behaved and descended, then flew towards a high mountain.
After watching the tiny golden eagle disappear from its vision, two golden rays suddenly flashed past the Sky Eagle’s eyes, then it looked at the same direction again.
Indeed, there was only a sea of clouds at where it was looking at. However, on top of the white clouds, there were two black spots.
The two black spots was at least hundreds of miles away from where the Sky Eagle was, as compared to Elder Feng’s Death Snipe that had a 20 miles shooting range, the distance was more than ten times of that.
Nevertheless, in the eyes of the Sky Eagle, those two black spots appeared to be exceptionally tiny, it was clear how powerful its “eagle’s eye” was.
One of the black spot was a black cat that was rather stout, it was sitting on a white cloud as it looked opposite of it.
The other black spot which was opposite of it was a four-headed man on its upper-body, his lower body was made up of a combination of countless strange and terrifying objects such as snake body, monster, nature spirit, demons etc.
The human and the cat were conversing.
The black cat said, “Revered One, I’ve told you all the information that I know of. Although the True Dragon is keeping watch at Draconic Penitentiary, it is certainly not your match.”
The four-headed man said, “Haha, Mister Tom, even though it’s not much, but I’m still very grateful for your help. The Draconic Penitentiary is merely a tiny little place, how dare they overrate it, brag about it, deceive others as well as themselves, what a joke! It’s unfortunate that our connection with the soul of the God of Creation’s successor was cut off just now, and that we lost the coordinate of the Space. When I reconnect with him, I’ll free my soul to enter that Space, then I’ll stomp on it with my foot!”
The black cat went along and said, “That’s how it should be, although we’ve found out a huge part of China’s hidden card and the three successors are no longer valuable, there are winners and losers in the mortal world, so it’s a common thing to die during war, but if the successor of the God of Creation dies from war, his soul should enjoy life in the Kingdom of God, or he should be reincarnated into the world, yet he’s exiled into hell to suffer forever, this is undoubtedly a blasphemy! Revered One, should you crush that hell today, it’ll definitely tell the world that the God of Creation is indeed the supreme God in this universe, and that its power is endless.”
Upon hearing that, all four faces of the four-headed man looked proud, “The God is Creation naturally has endless powers, it is the most supreme creator in the entire universe, all that worships it sincerely will be granted its protection, and will not perish in hell or suffer from any disaster…”
When Tom the black cat heard that, it quietly closed its ears, in case that it will be brainwashed, yet it continued to flatter him, “I’ll be waiting for your triumph return then, Revered One…”
The four-headed man looked arrogant, “That’s for sure, I have a powerful talisman gifted by the God of Creation, which is the Law-Enforcing Big Snake, I’ve been fearless since I arrived in this world, let alone a young dragon that has descended into this world for half a year.”
The black cat wondered, ‘Although he speaks arrogantly, the God of Creation is truly a might being, as compared to the Grim Reaper, it must be at a much higher level.’
‘As for the Draconic Penitentiary, after connecting souls to investigate on it, I’ve only gotten some vague information.’
‘Yet with the help of that mighty being, he managed to find out about the actual size of that hell by connecting with a believer, and found out that it’s just a tiny area, which is far from being a real hell. Just by looking at this ability, it is more superior to me.’
‘Based on his abilities and that talisman that he claims to have, he still sounds like he’s more or less bragging about crushing that place with his foot, but it shouldn’t be difficult to call for some souls.’
‘It’ll be a perfect time to catch Anderson at the same time, since he ended up there, he became daring to go against me and cut off my connection with those souls. He must be heavily punished, how about reincarnating his soul onto a rat and name his as Jerry, then I’ll bully him everyday, it’ll be just nice for the leader to vent its hatred in the past…’
Hence, Tom the black cat requested, “Revered One, when you crush that hell, if you can also bring back the souls of those from the Balance Association, I’ll be extremely grateful and will reward you well.”
The four-headed man laughed, “It’ll be my pleasure, Mister Tom, you’ve been very dedicated in serving my God too, this will be just a piece of cake, there’s no need for any reward. Hmm, I’m able to sense the coordinate of that Space again, I’m about to free my soul and enter, Mister Tom, will you please enforce the laws for my true body here so that my soul will be able to return later on.”
Tom the black cat nodded, “Of course, there are no powerhouses in a few hundred miles from here, you can be rest assured, Revered One, just free your soul, I’m all that you need to protect the safety of your true body.”
