Chapter 111: Netizens Are Furious

Ever since Cang Luo announced the existence of the Yuanwu Continent to all of humanity on Earth and began his live stream, the social atmosphere of Earth has unknowingly changed.

Originally, the social atmosphere of Earth was overall scientific, industrious, calm, hopeful yet somewhat lost, peaceful yet somewhat turbulent...

But now, within a few days, it has become devoted to martial arts, with everything beginning to serve the goals of 'becoming a martial artist' and 'developing a cultivation civilization'.

Science is no longer the sole faith for exploring the universe, because martial artists can fly through the sky and dive into the earth.

Work is no longer for supporting a family, but for saving money to buy demon cores and pills, saving money to become a martial artist...

Various powers have begun to compete in secret, to prepare for war, to develop new weapons, and to form alliances, preparing for the connection between the two worlds.

Is it war?

Or cooperation?

No one knows; the various powers can only exhaust all resources to prepare for war and employ every means to obtain intelligence on the Yuanwu Continent.

And watching Cang Luo's otherworldly live stream is the easiest and most prioritized method to obtain intelligence on the Yuanwu Continent.

However, Cang Luo's live stream has been off for nearly three hours; the reason for the stop was that he discovered a stranded girl and went to rescue her, adding that he might let the girl appear on camera.

Thus, netizens began to wait for Cang Luo to resume broadcasting with feelings of both excitement and jealousy, expecting Cang Luo to let the girl appear on camera.

A girl from the Yuanwu Continent! Netizens from every country want to see how she differs from girls on Earth.

Previously, although there were girls appearing in the videos Cang Luo uploaded, because the videos were shot with a mobile phone, they were not clear, and there were no close-ups of the girls, so it made little difference whether they appeared or not.

Netizens waited patiently in the live stream room, but left and right they waited and still did not see Cang Luo resume broadcasting.

During this time, Cang Luo posted a Weibo message containing photos of two demon beasts and a brief introduction.

One was a gray-furred demon beast with a leopard body and a ram's head; Cang Luo said it was a Thunder Attribute Second-Rank demon beast, the Thunder Leopard-Ram.

The other was a tiger with blue fur at least five meters long; Cang Luo introduced this demon beast as a Fifth-Rank demon beast, the Shadow Tiger, though it was still in its growth period, with strength equivalent to a Second-Rank demon beast.

Cang Luo finally said that the demon beast had been killed by him, that he was in no danger, and told netizens not to worry; additionally, the girl had been successfully rescued.

When netizens browsing the photos of the two demon beasts saw Cang Luo's final sentence, they all wore expressions of speechlessness.

Who the hell is worried about your safety? Since the girl has already been rescued, then start the live stream and let the girl appear on camera! At the very least, post a few photos of the girl!

You only post photos of demon beasts and not of the girl; what is your intention?

Netizens, crazed with desire to see the girl, left comments one after another @Cang Luo, demanding Cang Luo post photos of the girl; if taking front-facing photos was inconvenient, then sneak shots would do.

Unfortunately, Cang Luo did not reply to the netizens' comments, nor did he resume the live stream.

The netizens exploded with anger; where is the girl?

One netizen speculated that Cang Luo was doing something unspeakable with the girl, which was why he had no time to post on Weibo or live stream.

This netizen's speculation gained the agreement of many; they guessed that Cang Luo must have seen the girl's beauty and, struck by lust, was currently using force...

Thinking of this, the netizens were all heartbroken, beating their chests and stamping their feet, feeling indignant and regretful for the girl they had never met.

How could she, how could she be ruined by a loser like Cang Luo who just got lucky?

The netizens were depressed and sad, frantically refreshing Cang Luo's Weibo and live stream room, eager to know the truth.

However, Cang Luo's Weibo and live stream room remained motionless for a long time.

Until more than two hours later, Cang Luo posted another Weibo message containing nine photos: one was a group photo of him and Shangyi Huimeizi, and eight were solo shots of Shangyi Huimeizi in various poses.

As soon as this Weibo message went out, the netizens instantly wept with joy; finally, they had waited for the girl.

Upon seeing the girl, the same word appeared simultaneously in the minds of the netizens.

Goddess!

A true goddess!

Not a goddess of plastic surgery, nor a goddess of makeup, and certainly not a goddess of beauty filters and Photoshop, but a natural-born goddess.

The goddess in the photos had shoulder-length reddish-brown hair, regular features, large eyes, thin eyebrows, a nose of moderate size, a mouth with lips as if about to drip, fair skin, and not a single blemish.

Her figure was even more impeccable; although her clothes were a bit ill-fitting and slightly loose, the traces of a curvy figure were still visible.

Cang Luo also added text saying: "This is a girl from the Yuanwu Continent; she is also a martial artist, a disciple of the Five Elements Hall, a Royal-Rank sect, with a cultivation level of Martial General First-Rank. I will not mention her name.

I have discovered that martial artists on the Yuanwu Continent seem to be handsome men and beautiful women; not to mention their figures, just looking at their faces, there are not a single blemish.

Furthermore, I originally had some spots on my face, but after becoming a martial artist, they actually disappeared; that is to say, martial artists possess the ability to remove spots and beautify the skin..."

Martial artists not only possess superhuman strength but also have the function of beautifying the face?

Male netizens were shocked, while female netizens went crazy; compared to martial arts, women care more about their appearance.

Thus, women who originally had little interest in martial arts now hope to become martial artists even more than men...

The netizens discussed at length, evaluating Shangyi Huimeizi's looks and figure, and looking forward to becoming martial artists themselves after the two worlds connected; for a moment, they all forgot the previous speculation about what Cang Luo had done to their goddess.

Suddenly, a netizen posted on Weibo, writing: "Cang Luo said the goddess is a disciple of the Five Elements Hall, a Royal-Rank sect, but why is she wearing the same disciple uniform of the Profound Tianmen as Cang Luo? There is a 'Xuan' character on the left chest.

Looking more closely, the clothes are obviously ill-fitting; I guess the goddess's clothes are Cang Luo's.

You tell me, why is the goddess wearing Cang Luo's clothes?"

After seeing this Weibo message, the netizens were completely stunned, and then they became furious.

The goddess is actually wearing Cang Luo's clothes; what does this mean?

During the three hours Cang Luo was off the air, what happened between the two of them?

In the next moment, Cang Luo's Weibo exploded; countless male netizens began to denounce Cang Luo, questioning what he had done to their goddess...

Cang Luo, who was on the Yuanwu Continent, did not yet know that his Weibo had been overrun, nor that he had become the public enemy of hundreds of millions of male netizens.

At this moment, he was leading Shangyi Huimeizi, the goddess of countless male netizens, to search for demon beasts, to search for mutated demon beasts.

Mutated demon beasts, in Cang Luo's view, are demon beasts that have undergone genetic mutation; to use Earth animals as an example, they would be white lions, white tigers, two-headed snakes, cows with an extra leg, and so on; this is an extremely low-probability event.

The consequences of these genetic mutations for Earth animals are almost entirely harmful, belonging to diseases, with lifespans and constitutions far lower than normal animals.

Their only use is for research, and for display in zoos to collect admission fees.

But if a demon beast on the Yuanwu Continent undergoes a genetic mutation, it is anything but ordinary; it is absolutely beneficial and harmless, with strength far exceeding normal demon beasts, even capable of rivaling the leader-level demon beasts of its kind.

For example, Cang Luo's beast pet, the Two-Headed Fire-Devouring Wolf; it possesses two wolf heads, meaning it has two demon cores, representing that Erha's Yuan power content is double that of a normal Fire-Devouring Wolf; one could say its combat power has doubled.

But that was before; now the Second Ha can share Cang Luo's infinite Yuan power, and as long as it is used reasonably, its combat power has increased by more than ten times!

Mutated demonic beasts have many benefits and are beast pets that martial artists dream of, but their numbers are far too scarce.

The Profound Tianmen has ten thousand outer sect disciples and three thousand inner sect disciples, yet Cang Luo has not heard of any disciple possessing a mutated beast pet to this day.

One can imagine how low the probability is for Uesugi Huimeizi to find and tame a mutated beast pet; Cang Luo took her searching via satellite all afternoon without finding a single suspected mutated demonic beast.

However, it was not entirely without gain; Cang Luo killed six lone second-rank demonic beasts, gaining six second-rank demonic cores, and gave two to Uesugi Huimeizi.

Second-rank demonic beasts are significantly stronger in power than first-rank demonic beasts, but their intelligence has not increased much; compared to human martial artists of equal strength, they are merely tougher-skinned and thicker-fleshed, and human martial artists can completely defeat them through strategy.

Uesugi Huimeizi is a Rank 3 Martial General cultivator; she and the Second Ha were responsible for distracting the enemy, while Cang Luo, wielding a Rank 3 longsword, took the main attack, easily slaying them...

Before long, the sky gradually darkened.

The two ended their search for demonic beasts, found a safe location, lit a fire, set up a tent, and prepared to spend the night.

However, there was only one tent; Cang Luo, with a righteous air, said, "Young Lady Uesugi, you sleep in the tent; I can sleep outside, and I can keep watch at the same time..."

Before Cang Luo finished, Uesugi Huimeizi immediately shook her head and said, "Lord Cang is my savior; you have saved me from fire and water twice. I am deeply grateful and have nothing to repay you with; how could I let Lord Cang keep watch?"

Saying this, she shrank her body and continued, "The nights in the demonic beast mountains are very cold; Lord Cang should come into the tent to rest. Is there not the Second Ha to keep watch?"

What Uesugi Huimeizi said was correct; Cang Luo had no words to counter. Was there not the Second Ha to keep watch?

Cang Luo said awkwardly, "This does not seem very appropriate; if your senior brother found out, it would not be good, after all, men and women should not touch..."

Uesugi Huimeizi hurriedly shook her head and said, "If I do not say anything, my senior brother will not know. Moreover, men and women staying in the same room is nothing at all in our Eastern Japan; we even have open-air mixed bathing for men and women in our Eastern Japan..."

Cang Luo was stunned; Eastern Japan is so open? This is actually somewhat like a certain island nation on Earth.

Finally, after Uesugi Huimeizi's persuasion, Cang Luo and she entered the tent together, while the Second Ha stayed outside to keep watch.

Cang Luo was not truly afraid of the cold; he cultivates the Earth-grade Top-tier Meiti Shengong of the Yang attribute, so he is not afraid of cold at all.

Of course, it was not that Cang Luo could not resist temptation and wanted something to happen in the tent; he wanted to confirm whether Uesugi Huimeizi truly intended to steal his mobile phone.

After entering the tent, Cang Luo did not fall asleep immediately, nor did he cultivate the mental technique; instead, he took out the Shadow Tiger's demonic core. Cang Luo wanted to eat it to see if he could break through to Martial General cultivation.

Uesugi Huimeizi suddenly said, "Lord Cang, do you intend to swallow the Shadow Tiger's demonic core directly?"

Seeing Cang Luo nod, Uesugi Huimeizi hurriedly said, "Lord Cang, absolutely not. Although Feng Qingyun's Shadow Tiger is not yet an adult, it is indeed a fifth-rank demonic beast, and the Yuan power contained in its demonic core is extremely violent.

Lord Cang is at the Warrior Stage 9 cultivation; if you swallow it directly, it is highly likely that you will explode and die because you cannot suppress its violent Yuan power. It must be refined into a pill before it can be safely consumed."

Cang Luo was startled; is there such a thing? But after thinking it over, he decided it was better to believe it exists than to believe it does not.

He only has one life; he cannot easily gamble it away.

Thus, Cang Luo took out a second-rank demonic core and asked, "Then is there no problem with consuming a second-rank demonic core?"

Uesugi Huimeizi nodded and said, "No problem. Lord Cang's strength far exceeds his cultivation; even consuming a third-rank demonic core would be no problem."

Cang Luo breathed a sigh of relief, said thanks, then decisively swallowed the second-rank demonic core and began circulating the mental technique to refine it.

Seeing this, Uesugi Huimeizi also swallowed a second-rank demonic core and sat beside Cang Luo to refine it...
