Chapter 158: System, Chalk, Awakening

The sound of dragon chanting resounded through the "Different Space: Four Seas Long Gong."

The "Red-Bearded Dragon Lord," who chose the beast evolution route, was undoubtedly a behemoth.

The red eastern dragon, thousands of meters long, coiled in the sky, its scales covered with intricate patterns, looking like flowing liquid fire from afar.

Besides this, the remaining five "Beast Overlords" all chose the anthropomorphic route.

Dragon head and dragon tail, standing upright, with a thin figure, the "Green-Backed Dragon Lord," several meters tall, was covered in coral-like branched protrusions.

Most notable was the single-edged sword it carried on its shoulder, the blade distributed with many layered wave patterns.

Facing this sword was like facing the boundless sea, with the heavy pressure of endless, continuous waves spreading across the four seas and eight wildernesses.

The "Huang Long Lord's" anthropomorphism was higher than the "Green-Backed Dragon Lord's."

Surrounded by wisps of electric arcs, wearing yellow robes, with curved horns on its head, the "Huang Long Lord," holding a long-handled battle sword, was like a martial god dominating thunder and lightning.

And the "Li Dragon Lord's" anthropomorphism level was equal to the "Green-Backed Dragon Lord's."

Green hair tangled like seaweed, the "Li Dragon Lord" was clad in iron armor, with a big belly, and held a battle hammer in each hand, with wind and thunder roaring endlessly.

The "Li Dragon Lord" looked relatively clumsy, but it was a flexible fatty who controlled wind and thunder.

Whether choosing beastification or anthropomorphism, it was a kind of evolution route.

The larger the beastification volume, the stronger the strength.

The higher the anthropomorphism progress, the stronger the strength.

The "Li Dragon Lord," "Huang Long Lord," and "Green-Backed Dragon Lord" were fifth-order initial combat powers.

The "Red-Bearded Dragon Lord," who absorbed the "Dragon Totem Faith" of the Shenzhou, had fifth-order intermediate combat power.

The last two highly anthropomorphic "Kangjin Dragon Lord" and "Azure Dragon Lord" of the "Different Space: Four Seas Long Gong" had strength equal to the beast-like "Red-Bearded Dragon Lord."

The shape outline of the "Kangjin Dragon Lord" could be seen as a female appearance.

A few white dragon scales embellished it, giving people a sense of exotic beauty.

Clad in an elegant large red robe, with black, shiny hair flowing to its waist.

The unarmed "Kangjin Dragon Lord" looked like a long-range attack mage.

The "Azure Dragon Lord" had a heroic male appearance.

Cyan dragon tail, jade horns, adding a bit of majesty that could not be offended.

The battle armor engraved with lotus patterns was indestructible.

The cyan dragon spear that spat cold light was sharp and unstoppable.

Besides the six "Beast Overlords," the number of "Fourth-order: Beast Monarchs" in the "Different Space: Four Seas Long Gong" exceeded one hundred, and "Fenrir, King of Earth and Mountain" was inconspicuous mixed in the beast herd.

With an order from Master Xia, the sea clan civilization with a population of hundreds of billions had its hundred billion sea clan combat department quickly assembled, sharpening their swords and heading toward Fuso!

Fuso: Tokyo Prefecture.

The Earth's surface area had expanded by a hundred times, but the distance between Fuso base cities had not changed, while the unexplored wild areas had increased significantly.

The "Apocalypse Era" had arrived, and human civilization's technology had suffered a devastating blow.

The international metropolis: Tokyo Prefecture, had lost its status, and the population had gradually diverted to surrounding small and medium-sized base cities.

Due to the factor of the "Faith God: Three Imperial Gods," the center of Fuso began to shift toward Kyoto, which had a longer history.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse; Tokyo, no matter how bad it was, was still the second center of the small island nation.

The former Tokyo University was renamed Tokyo Superpower University, becoming Fuso's largest transcendent cultivation base.

At the end of March, the cherry blossoms on both sides of the road were blooming.

Meng Yi strolled through the streets of Fuso, sighing: "There's a difference in the time period from when I ground Fuso to dust in the Demon Slayer dungeon."

There was no other way last time; he was still in the bloody primitive accumulation stage of capital, so he just let the little days suffer eight lifetimes of bad luck.

But he didn't intend to make a move personally this time; Fuso was, after all, a component of the test site.

For example, he opened the "Different Space: Takamagahara," which hid the "World-Class Divine Weapon: Ame-no-Murakumo," in the wild area outside Tokyo Prefecture, rather than putting it directly inside the human residential area of Tokyo Prefecture.

Benevolent! Truly too benevolent!

The mastermind with a kind heart arranged the position very cleverly; if the Sea Clan wanted to compete for "Different Space: Takamagahara," Tokyo Prefecture was the stumbling block at the door.

Whether Fuso was willing to hand over the opportunity delivered to their door was one thing, but did they have enough time to evacuate a population of hundreds of millions?

Delays lead to changes; the Sea Clan wouldn't discuss it with Fuso; if you don't have enough strength, you aren't qualified to sit down and talk.

Crushing the stumbling block, grabbing the revealed different space in advance, and then relying on the formation defense, the Feather Clan soaring in the sky could only look on and sigh.

Therefore, a war between Fuso and the Sea Clan was inevitable.

As the sky darkened, Meng Yi walked to a snack street at the back door of Tokyo Superpower University and found a fourth-order transcendent hidden in the city.

Only to see an old man wearing an old apron, full of the breath of life, busy in a mobile ramen cart, not caring even if his face was covered in flour.

Kneading dough, stretching dough, pulling noodles, putting noodles in the pot, scooping noodles...

If the skilled technique wasn't from a master who had specialized in this for at least two and a half years, it was absolutely impossible to possess.

Meng Yi raised an eyebrow; he was busy fighting wits and courage with Xianmo Xianmo Xianmo Weiyang in the Demon Slayer dungeon and didn't have a chance to taste the "Six Paths Ramen of Ichiraku."

Coming to the Dragon dungeon without a fry-fishing player, he had to try the ramen of the "Strongest Ramen Master: Uesugi Koshi."

"Boss, a bowl of super invincible, incredibly delicious ramen."

Meng Yi sat down at the counter and blurted out a name no one had ever heard of.

This move attracted the attention of the surrounding diners.

But because of the habit of not disturbing others in Fuso, no one said anything about it.

The busy Uesugi Koshi looked up, thinking Meng Yi was a teacher at Tokyo Superpower University, and replied indifferently: "None! Look at the menu and order yourself."

Uesugi Koshi pointed to the small wooden sign next to him and lowered his head to continue his ramen business.

Meng Yi didn't make things difficult again, ordered an ordinary tonkotsu ramen, and not long after, Uesugi Koshi served the food to him.

At night, the flow of people became sparse; the "Apocalypse Era" had transcendents, and transcendents were potential sources of turmoil.

There were serious public security problems in the Shenzhou, let alone in a small place like Fuso.

Going home early at night and going out less was the right way to preserve one's life.

The white light pillar manifested at the entrance of "Different Space: Takamagahara" added a bit of chilly white to the night.

Students from Tokyo Superpower University returned to campus, and the ramen stall was left with only one diner.

Meng Yi finished the last bite of noodles, took a tissue to wipe his mouth, and looked at Uesugi Koshi, who was cleaning up.

"Boss, aren't you going?"

Uesugi Koshi, who was bending over to clean, paused, then continued the work he hadn't finished.

But there was a bit more clarity in Uesugi Koshi's muddy pupils, and he carefully sized up the guest whose depth he couldn't see with the corner of his eye.

A long sword handle wrapped in cloth strips was exposed under the cabinet, ensuring he could deal with emergencies at any time.

"Don't understand what you're talking about."

"The world is the world of young people; cultivation has nothing to do with an old man like me."

"Old man, I am lonely and have no one to rely on; earning some hard-earned money to spend my old Ice Ice Age is enough."

Uesugi Koshi threw the rag into the sink, washed his hands, and took a towel that wasn't very clean to slowly wipe off the water stains.

"Pay after eating; it's not peaceful at night, I have to go back to sleep."

Hearing this, Meng Yi didn't commit, sitting with his legs crossed, watching Uesugi Koshi's performance happily.

"You are not lonely and have no one to rely on; you have two sons and one daughter."

"Your three test-tube children have miserable lives; they were used as experimental animals by others when they grew up."

"Friend, what are your thoughts?"

The words were shocking!

Uesugi Koshi couldn't remain calm; the sleeping lion woke up, and his black and white eyes turned into golden pupils cast from gold.

The edge of the former Shadow Emperor reappeared, and the momentum, far exceeding the past and comparable to a complete Dragon King, pressed toward Meng Yi.

"You! Speak! Clearly!"

The words tumbled out from between his teeth, Uesugi Koshi's right hand gripped the sword handle, and the cloth strips wrapping the long sword broke inch by inch.

*Ding—! *

Meng Yi used his little finger to resist the blade edge attacking his neck, and the high density of the white dwarf distorted the alchemy blade into basic particles.

"Be prepared to die before taking the sword."

"Are you sure you want to spar with me?"

The refined Meng Yi still didn't show half a breath of aura.

Or rather, with Uesugi Koshi's rank, he couldn't perceive the dimensional-level gap.

*Fifth-order, no, stronger. *

Uesugi Koshi had once watched the battle between the "Shinto Faith Gods: Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Susanoo" and the "Red-Bearded Dragon Lord" from afar by the sea.

The three fourth-order top-tier "Religious Faith Gods" were killed by the "Red-Bearded Dragon Lord" like cutting melons and vegetables, and could only roll back to the shrine to read the resurrection bar.

Uesugi Koshi decisively chose to submit; he couldn't afford to provoke the big boss, and kneeling wasn't shameful.

*Clatter—*

The ramen master threw away the alchemy sword handle that was all that remained, performed a classic French military salute, and raised both hands to indicate he had no hostility.

The brilliant golden pupils dimmed, and decadence and twilight covered the Shadow Emperor's sharpness again.

"Eh! That's right."

"Xixi matter Wei Wei Junjie, you are doing a good job!"

The intellectual colonel-level broken Japanese made Uesugi Koshi's eyelids jump wildly.

But since his skills were inferior to others, he had to admit that Meng Yi's Japanese was the "authentic" one.

"Big boss, can you please tell me in more detail?"

"To tell you the truth, I'm just an old thing waiting to die."

"Hearing you say I still have three children in the world, my mood is inevitably a bit excited."

Uesugi Koshi had a pleading look on his face.

Only at his Ice Ice Age would he understand what children meant to an old man.

"Ahem—"

Meng Yi coughed, and Uesugi Koshi concentrated.

"It's a long story, let's make it short!"

Uesugi Koshi bowed, grateful: "Thank you!"

Meng Yi danced with joy: "Those who understand, understand; those who don't, I won't explain much. The interests involved are too big; knowing won't do you any good..."

Uesugi Koshi's face got darker and darker. Are you stalling? Are you trying to tease me?

"Eh, by the way, I am teasing you."

Meng Yi answered Uesugi Koshi's inner thoughts, got up from the stool, thought for a moment, and left a crystal of unknown origin on the counter.

As he left, Meng Yi pointedly said: "A worthless little toy, consider it the meal money for this meal."

"Friend, keep it up; I'm looking forward to your possibilities."

After the words fell, the intellectual disappeared without a trace, leaving Uesugi Koshi in a mess.

The ramen master gently picked up the crystal Meng Yi left behind, and the strange-looking crystal "whoosh" disappeared into his palm.

Uesugi Koshi only felt his eyes were a bit dizzy from the "Flash Spell," and a cold mechanical sound suddenly came from his sea of thoughts, interrupting his thinking.

【Prompt: Host: Uesugi Koshi, you have been selected by the "Strongest Ramen Master System"!】

【Novice Mission 1: Kill Tachibana Masamune (Hidden Identity: Demon Ghost Sect's King, Herzog von Jung).】

【Friendly Reminder: Tachibana Masamune schemed against Gen Yoshihisa, Gen Yoshihime, and Uesugi Erii, causing the brothers Gen Yoshihisa and Gen Yoshihime to kill each other in a vain attempt to seize the power of the White King.】

【Task Reward: Recipe for super invincible, incredibly delicious ramen.】

Uesugi Koshi's face was uncertain; the dog thing that schemed against his children and made his children kill each other!

Thinking of this, Uesugi Koshi's heart rate soared rapidly, and hot dragon blood pumped into his limbs and bones.

"Herzog! I want to kill you! A thousand times! It's not enough!!"

"'Stage One: Dragon Form'!"

Golden pupils ignited, loose clothes were pierced by sharp bone spurs, and pure white dragon scales attached to his body surface.

"'Stage Two: Complete Dragon Form'!"

Dense white threads began to spread.

The organic matter in the back door commercial street area of Tokyo Superpower University was devoured by pure white threads, turning into a giant "cocoon" on the spot.

More and more "White Study: Spiritual Energy" was absorbed by Uesugi Koshi, and the spiritual energy provided the energy consumption needed for his transformation.

*Crack—! *

Not long after, a pale giant claw pierced the outer shell of the "cocoon."

A white chalk dragon, hundreds of meters long, pale in color, with wings on its back, broke out of the cocoon.

"Beast Clan invasion!!"

The aura of the Chalk Dragon was detected by the principal and vice principal of Tokyo Superpower University.

Uesugi Koshi looked coldly at the miscellaneous fish coming to hinder him.

"I'm not in the mood to deal with you now, get lost!"

The two third-order transcendents were hit by the dragon's breath before they even arrived, and there was a giant pit hundreds of meters deep between the two sides.

"'Beast Monarch'!!"

The transcendents were sweating profusely and stopped, not daring to offend the furious giant dragon again.

"'Black Sun: Great Dark Heaven'!"

The Chalk Dragon's wings vibrated, and a black sun rose into the sky.

The Black Sun covered the white light spread by "Different Space: Takamagahara," occupying the sky for tens of miles around.

The surrounding matter and spiritual energy were quickly devoured by the Black Sun, providing energy for Uesugi Koshi to maintain fourth-order combat power.

The Chalk Dragon, carrying the black sun, looked at the position where Meng Yi disappeared.

"Regardless, I must thank you for telling me this."

"Strongest Ramen Master, huh?"

The Chalk Dragon said bitterly: "Life always has things to do and things not to do; I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint your expectations."

"I am a sinner; I must leave a stable environment for the three children."

Uesugi Koshi made a decision; he would no longer escape.

The culprit Herzog must die, and "Different Space: Takamagahara" was his atonement for the three children.

For this, he was willing to burn his last strength and try the power of Fuso's three "Faith Gods," or even the "Beast Overlord: Red-Bearded Dragon Lord"!

"Go to the Gen Corporation headquarters building first!"
