Chapter 198: Big Boss Stole All the Demon Race's Relics
The radiance of the contract enveloped the entire Martial Arts Field; all the Demon Race clenched their fists, raised their arms in cheers, and were eager to try.
Under Li Cheng's infectious speech, they voluntarily took out the Relics they carried and placed them in the Small Box on the left.
The tenacious Demon Race could pass the trial by themselves and absolutely did not need the help of Relics.
"Yes, correct, exactly like that, oh, my Brave Warriors, I must say, you are the true heroes."
Big Boss stood at the front, constantly giving them thumbs up and encouraging them.
You know, Big Boss has always greatly appreciated these Demon Race since ancient times.
You should know, as sacrificial material, the Demon Race's Soul Strength and Spiritual Power content far surpass that of cultists on Tianming Continent.
"No, not right, you must not be deceived!"
Li Er widened his eyes and shook the "Colleague" beside him: "This is fake, they are tricking you!"
"Trick us? Hah, can't you see the Divine General is using Contract Magic?" Another Demon Race glared at him: "If he violates the contract, his Soul will be destroyed; even if he returns to the Abyss, he will reincarnate as the lowest Demon Race!"
"A Divine General who makes such a contract, how could he lie!"
"Yes, yes, you bastard, you must not slander the Divine General!"
"Correct, Brother, you are simply my voice! I will always believe in the Divine General!"
The Demon Race were stirred up and pointed at Li Er's nose and began to scold him.
Simply more filial than a filial son.
"It's you!" The Demon Race who first spoke for him sneered: "Hmph, you bastard, slandering the Divine General here, do you not want to participate in this trial? I did not expect that among our Demon Race, there is actually a spineless fellow like you!"
"In my opinion, simply kill this fellow to sacrifice the flag!"
"I think not bad!"
"Yes, kill him, kill him!"
"Ah?" Li Er did not expect things to develop in this direction, and immediately Sweated Profusely.
Although dying here was not real death, he had gone through great hardship to lick an opportunity from Kadan; if he just wasted it like this, wouldn't he be the biggest fool among fools? Thinking of this, Li Er lowered his head and clenched his fists.
Two seconds later, he suddenly raised his head and pinched his Thigh: "What are you saying! How could I be unwilling to participate in this trial? How could I be dissatisfied with the Divine General's policy?"
"You know, I, Li Er, have always been a loyal admirer of the Divine General since ancient times!"
"I am a first-class Anger Guard!"
"Whoever TM doesn't let me participate in this trial, I will fight them!"
His voice was Resounding, his expression was tenacious, his tone was determined to fight to the death.
At first listen, he was the most devout and tenacious Demon Race.
Even the Demon Race who had just shouted to kill him were intimidated by him and did not know what to say for a moment.
Seeing their appearance, Li Er's face did not change color, but his heart was already filled with mocking smiles.
Hah, after all, they were just a group of foolish Demon Race, actually tricked by me in a few words.
Since the uprising failed, then hold on for one more day; wait until late tonight when all is quiet, and directly use Relics to escape from here!
Li Er thought this way, only feeling that he was really too Clever.
"Pa, pa, pa."
Clear applause sounded; Big Boss on the stage gave Li Er a thumbs up: "Ah, truly a despicable Demon Race, my friend, I must say, you are the true hero."
"Cough cough." Li Er hurriedly answered: "Obeying the Divine General's orders is what I should do!"
"Very good, then, my friend, put all your Relics into the box on the left." Big Boss smiled Sunny Cheerful: "Don't worry, after the Assessment ends, I will definitely return these Relics to you."
"Ah?" Li Er's Heart Trembled and he Froze In Place.
"Hmm? Why aren't you moving? Could it be you were coaxing me just now?" Big Boss narrowed his eyes.
And the surrounding Demon Race also looked over with ill intentions.
"Of course not, I'll put them now."
Li Er endured the Humiliation and panic in his heart, taking out Relics one by one from his bosom and putting them into the box.
At this moment he wanted to cry but had no tears.
Originally thinking to use this Secret Realm Trial to snatch Big Boss's Relics into his hands, but unexpectedly now, Big Boss had not yet snatched them, while his own Relics had to be turned in.
Although they could be taken back after passing the trial.
But how could this trial be endured by people? Running away was a must.
But if he ran away, wouldn't all these Relics really be gone? This was three years of painstaking effort! Fortunately, Li Cheng Master had always been a great good person, most unable to bear seeing someone in a Dilemma; he once again showed the Sunshine Big Boy smile: "Eh, my friend, why do you feel reluctant to part with it? You wouldn't still have some Relic on you that can forcibly escape, would you?"
"Ah? No, no!" Li Er's plan was seen through, his eyes suddenly widened like copper bells.
"Hah, do you dare swear to me?" Big Boss smiled Sunny.
"This, this is no need to swear, right? Hah, hah." Li Er smiled awkwardly, still wanting to Struggle, but seeing the surrounding Demon Race crowding closer, he could only hang his head in dejection and take out the life-saving Relics.
Now he no longer needed to worry about whether to give up Relics and run away, or stay and persist until the end to take back Relics.
Li Er, he can't run away! "Look, look, our Demon Race hero, actually gave up even the chance to escape, just to prove that he is a candidate who can become a Great General!" Big Boss gave a thumbs up again: "Come, let us applaud and cheer for this Little Brother! He is our role model!"
"Correct, role model, a true role model!"
"Hah, as expected of you, my brother, but I will catch up soon!"
Applause sounded, and all the Demon Race looked at Li Er with reverent Gaze.
And that Gaze was like sharp knives, ruthlessly piercing into his heart.
Don't, don't clap anymore!
I, I don't want to be like this! I want to escape, but I can't escape~ "Cough cough, then." Big Boss pressed his hands in the air, signaling everyone present to Quiet down; under everyone's admiring Gaze, he clenched his fist, placed it on his chest, and looked determinedly as if wanting to join the teaching:
"Cut position~ Please make a solemn oath with me!"
"Come, today, I, the Divine General, with you, share weal and woe, advance and retreat together!"
"I, the Divine General, swear to not fear bitterness, not fear pain, strive tenaciously, struggle arduously, and pass this trial!"
"I, xxx, swear to fear no hardship, fear no pain, persevere and struggle, fight tenaciously, and pass this trial!" x3086.
"I swear in rage never to give up, never to retreat; if I ever want to quit halfway, let me be unable to return to the Abyss, let my soul suffer endless torture, and sink in agony for all eternity!"
"I, xxx, swear never to give up, never to retreat; if I ever want to quit halfway, let me be unable to return to the Abyss, let my soul suffer endless torture, and sink in agony for all eternity!" x3086.
The solemn vows drew to a close, and the power of the contract branded a mark upon every demon race member and trial participant on the martial arts field.
The trial participants, one by one, had faces twisted in grievance like bitter melons.
But the demon race members gazed at Big Boss with nothing but boundless admiration and longing.
They hadn't encountered a commander who leads from the front like this in a long, long time!
As for the possibility that Big Boss might be deceiving them, these demon race members declared — absolutely impossible! This is a contract, a contract sworn on the soul!
How could a Divine General who established such a contract possibly be deceiving them?
"The Furious Explosion Divine General truly is the best Divine General!" a female demon race member, moved to tears: "I want to bear him monkeys!"
"You're not worthy; the Furious Explosion Divine General already has someone in his heart — he's a severe sister-control, you don't stand a chance." Another demon race member poured cold water.
"Doesn't matter; I'll stay behind him, help push his buttocks, I'm willing too!" That female demon race member wept silently.
Li Er: "..."
He looked at these deeply moved demon race members and felt only a chill run down his spine.
Is this some evil cult's ritual? These normally free and easy demon race members have actually been brainwashed into this state...
Meanwhile, Nespu was staring at Li Er's buttocks, his eyes full of rage.
Originally, he had prepared to run away this very morning.
Unexpectedly, he heard Li Er's high-flown discourse.
Thus, Nespu also realized this was an excellent opportunity.
Li Er and his group rob Big Boss, then I, Nespu, go rob Li Er — simply perfect.
But unexpectedly, not only did Li Er fail to rob successfully.
Even the relics he carried on his person were all snatched away by this Furious Explosion Divine General! Although he hadn't brought his trump-card relics into this trial, which relic on a Tenth Rank powerhouse isn't a peerless treasure? So many treasures stolen away, he felt his heart bleeding.
At the same time, he utterly hated this Li Er.
One day, I'll definitely find someone to blow this guy's asshole wide open!
Nespu swore an oath in his heart.
"Cough cough, carry on~" The contract complete, Big Boss no longer maintained the Dark Bible; he put on an air of deep suffering: "Then, let's begin, today's training!"
"You run laps, while I must go to the command room to experience unprecedented terrifying torture!"
Saying this, he covered his face, feigned an utterly terrified appearance, and walked into the tent.
As he walked, his body trembled uncontrollably.
As if what awaited him inside that tent was not a trial, but the extreme punishment of flaying muscle and pulling bone! Watching his appearance, the demon race members below were even more moved.
This is our Furious Explosion Big Brother, truly...
Too unyielding!
Back inside the command hall, Lilith watched Big Boss trembling all over from suppressing laughter, her mouth corner twitching: "That... if you want to laugh, just laugh out loud."
"I won't laugh; I've received professional train— pfft, training." Big Boss's mouth corner simply wouldn't stay down.
Lilith: "..."
She looked at Big Boss, no longer knowing what expression to make.
This heaven-defying thing, actually using the Dark Bible's contract like this.
The demon race stake their souls to pass the trial, yet you're completely unrestricted like it's nothing.
No wonder this guy insisted on waiting a day before giving his speech.
So you were f*cking waiting for the skill cooldown, huh?
That group of demon race members, played round and round by him, still think they've met the best general of their lives.
"Heaven-defying, this newly risen Dong Xi is truly too heaven-defying."
And after Big Boss twitched for a while, he finally suppressed the laughter in his heart, and a system voice also rang out beside his ear.
【You have successfully infiltrated the enemy's interior and become the Border Camp's Commander; you have completed Main Quest 2: Undercover.】
【Current quest rating: B; please continue to strive and improve this quest's completion degree; when the quest ends, a Blessing will be granted based on the quest rating you obtained.】
"Border Commander?" Big Boss frowned.
Logically speaking, his current identity is a Divine General; this Main Quest 2's completion degree should already be very high.
But now, the rank is only B, and the displayed position is Camp Commander.
Big Boss speculated that only after seeing the Furious Father God and confirming he hasn't discovered his undercover identity can he solidify his Divine General identity and obtain a higher rating. "Mm, still need to see the Furious Father God a bit faster."
He continued looking down at the following information.
【Because the gap between your rank and this Secret Realm Trial's rank is too large, the Blessing you obtain within the trial will increase according to your quest completion degree and disappear after leaving the trial.】
【Your current Blessing Level: D; damage you deal in this trial increased by 20%, damage you take reduced by 20%. (Calculated after all BUFFs.)】
"Heh, level compensation for fighting above one's level?" Big Boss raised an eyebrow.
Didn't expect this game's new version actually added this thing too.
Quantum Technology, quite something.
Meanwhile Lilith, watching alongside him, furrowed her brows.
What on earth is going on with this world?
Why do so many places really feel like a game? These Blessings and abilities... if Big Boss thinks this is the real world, then there's a ghost.
"Mm, D-rank Blessing already gives 20% buff; if it rises to S, even EX-rank, how high would the buff reach?" Big Boss rested his chin on his hand and began pondering.
Before, after his Half-Dragon Transformation, he activated Truth's Huo, doubled his Physical Quality, and achieved the feat of blasting the Furious Explosion Divine General with one punch.
Although that was a weakened Divine General of Fury Burst, his strength was around the Seventh Stage.
I could blast him apart with one punch, so my physical strength back then was at least at the Peak of Qi Refining Stage, even reaching Rank 8.
"A hundred percent boost is like this, so if this blessing can finally give a two hundred percent ability compensation, what level will my strength reach?"
"If combined with other abilities, could I briefly reach Tenth Rank, or even Demigod?"
Big Boss pondered for a moment and became more confident about this undercover mission.
If he could temporarily reach Tenth Rank through the Secret Realm's blessing, then combined with the previous arrangements, refining Dian Huo would naturally be foolproof.
"Mm, continue completing missions and raise the blessing's level."
He had set his next mission goal.
Just then, a loud voice rang out: "Hahahaha, Li Cheng Da Ren, you're truly outrageous!"
The doors of the command hall opened, and Mu He and Karenina dragged two large treasure boxes inside.
Zha Na was lying on top of a box, cleaning the disguise off her body.
The one who had been stirring things up among the Demon Race just now was her impersonation.
Everyone says dogs resemble their masters, and what kind of master breeds what kind of dog; Zha Na was indeed no exception.
She not only deeply understood the essence of Big Boss's plan, but also enjoyed it.
—She had the potential of a rising Dong Xi.
"Why 'outrageous'?" Karenina felt doubtful, and her cheeks couldn't help but turn red.
Outrageous for so long... Could it be that Li Cheng Brother not only liked women, but wouldn't let Mu Dou go either? No, impossible...
"Why's your face red like a bubble teapot?" Mu glared at her: "9, isn't that just 6 flipped?"
"Heh." Karenina's mouth corner twitched: "Please don't say these old stale jokes anymore, I'm freezing."
"You didn't react at first at all, what old stale joke is that?" Mu retorted directly.
"Alright, stop arguing." Big Boss stopped these two clowns from continuing, and opened the lids of the two treasure boxes: "These are the Demon Race's relics?"
"Yes, they're all here!" Mu hehehe laughed: "Big Boss Li Cheng, you pick first, we'll pick afterwards."
He actually wanted to pick first himself, leaving the trash for Big Boss.
But unfortunately Karenina and Zha Na followed him, a pair of love brains.
He couldn't fight two on one, so he had to wait until now.
"Hmph." Big Boss had long seen through Mu's nature, and ignored him, after all this guy was scum just like himself.
After flipping through for a while, he really found a few bizarre relics.
【Emergency Escape Underwear (Legend)】
【Effect 1: Can teleport within a range of 10 meters by expending Spiritual Power, but as a price, will leave one's own underwear behind at the original spot.】
【Effect 2: Can swap positions with one's own underwear by expending Spiritual Power, but as a price, will leave one's own feces behind at the original spot.】
【After wearing, every piece of underwear on your body can use this special effect.】
【The more uses, the greater the Spiritual Power consumption.】
Big Boss:...
He remembered, this thing seemed to be put into the box by the leader of the Northern Magic Academy.
Is this the Northern Magic Academy?
Terrifying indeed.
He imagined the scene of using this thing in his head, and only felt a chill run down his spine.
No way, he would never use this thing even if beaten to death.
But this effect was truly defying heaven, not only could it instant transmit, but also swap positions; if lost, it would be too much of a pity.
Thus, he looked at the two people and one dog.
Zha Na and Karenina immediately shook their heads, having no interest in this thing at all.
The reason was no other: they cared about face.
But Mu had no "caring about face" restraint; he stared fixedly at the underwear, his eyes full of covetousness.
"You want this thing?" Big Boss probed.
"I think this thing was born prepared for me, what do you think, Big Boss?" Mu smiled showing his teeth.
"Uh... alright then." Big Boss handed this birth item over.
Mu immediately showed a smile of extreme satisfaction.
"Alright, let me see what else..." Big Boss sighed, and continued searching.
【A Puppet That Can Pass As Real (Legend)】
【A puppet controlled by Spiritual Power has extremely high requirements for the user's Spiritual Power precision; if the precision is not high enough, the Spiritual Power consumption will increase several times.】
【The puppet's combat power is Seventh Stage, gender female.】
【The puppet can wear armor, use Term Arts, equip relics, and change its appearance.】
【As the price of using the puppet, the user will become increasingly feminized.】
"Another Legend Rank? The Demon Race really has a lot of good things."
"Uh, that seems not to be the Demon Race's thing, it's those few trial participants from our academy..." Mu reminded.
"Oh... is that so." Big Boss nodded: "The Demon Race really has a lot of good things."
Mu: "..."
Fine fine fine, already defaulting those few trial participants as Demon Race? That said, but Mu had not a bit of sympathy for those few guys.
He saw at a glance that those few guys wanted to use them three as bait to scout the path ahead.
Although Mu was born a bit, deserving of a beating a bit, and scum a bit, he still had a childlike heart.
He hated those rising Dong Xi like Li Er the most.
"Then who wants this thing?" Li Cheng shook the rubber doll in his hand.
Honestly, this thing's effect isn't bad; if used well, it's practically like a Clone.
Li Cheng's Spiritual Power precision is also high enough; manipulating this thing is effortless.
But unfortunately, the price of this thing is making the user more and more feminized.
Li Cheng was previously scolded as a Male Witch, almost breaking his composure.
How could he possibly use this kind of Male Daughter Transformation Device?
"Give it to me, Li Cheng Brother!" Karenina raised her little hand, eyes full of light.
As a top-tier beast thing, her favorite thing is Entrapment.
But she's already notorious now; as long as she reveals her true form, there's a hundred percent chance she won't catch anyone.
This puppet is simply tailor-made for her.
She can happily go Fishing again! "Hmm, give it to you then." Li Cheng thought for a bit, also feeling this thing suited Karenina very well.
Pink Hair excitedly Carry/Bear the puppet walking to One Side, pulling out a previously prepared Mask from her bosom, trying it on the puppet back and forth.
From time to time she'd also pull out two steamed buns, stuff them inside the puppet's Clothes, playing with great delight.
Setsuna beside her saw this, ears drooping, silently pulling her hand back.
She Originally still wanted to manipulate this thing, accompany Master Brother to play; now it seems, there's no Opportunity.
"Don't be discouraged, Setsuna."
Sensing the Magic Dog's dejection, Li Cheng vigorously rubbed her Buttocks: "Next one definitely for you!"
"Mhm!" Setsuna immediately perked up again: "Master Brother is the best, you know!"
Thus, Li Cheng continued rummaging.
After a bout of cloud and rain, he actually found a Relic suitable for Setsuna.
【Propeller Capable of Haste Sprint (Legend)】
【Can only be worn on creatures with a Tail; this Relic will fuse with the Tail as one.】
【By Consuming Spiritual Power, can make the Tail spin like a propeller, gaining a speed boost.】
【The spinning Tail Possesses extremely strong Kill Injury, Hardness comparable to a Seventh Stage Knight's flesh; if the wearer's own Physical Quality is powerful, the Tail's Hardness will be even higher.】
【As the price, the wearer's Fan Ying Desire will increase.】
【Sorry, my Tail got hard!】
Li Cheng handed this Relic to In Front of Setsuna; the Great Love Magic Dog's Tail instantly stood up: "Gua! Setsuna likes this thing!"
"You're a dog, not a frog!" Li Cheng struck this Stupid Plan's head with a knife-hand: "Alright, then the spoils distribution is about done."
"Distribution about done?" Mu looked somewhat Doubtful: "Boss, you're not picking anything from inside?"
"Pick things? What are you saying?" Li Cheng also looked at him Doubtful: "These remaining two Treasure Boxes of Relics, aren't they all mine?"
Mu: ……
Karenina: ……
Setsuna: ……
Lilith: 6(Chapter Complete)
