Chapter 2525

Erneste: "No... If you really interact with Akuya, you'll only be influenced by her and lower your own IQ."

Akuya: "!!!! You bastards."

Akuya grew angrier the more she listened.

Su Xiao Xiao: "Akuya."

You've misunderstood! Perhaps in your world, calling someone 'Xiao Zhizhang' is an insult.

But everyone in the Rulegong Society comes from different worlds—in other worlds, 'Xiao Zhizhang' isn't necessarily an insult!"

Su Xiao Xiao: "Besides! I personally prefer 'Xiao Zhizhang Lan' as your endearing nickname."

Akuya: "Is... is that so?"

Akuya was momentarily confused; after thinking it over, she felt a bit embarrassed.

Akuya: "...... Sorry... I misunderstood you."

Her face turned red.

"

Jianghu Chuan Kona: "......"

Kona's mouth twitched.

President, are you really not ashamed of tricking Akuya like this? Xiamu: "This move by the President... is simply divine!"

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "After all, it's Akuya..."

Shaka: "All that appears before us is real—and yet not real."

I can't tell whether this is my inner demon... or whether everything described in the Society's introduction is truly real, originating from other worlds."

Shaka: "Impossible to fathom... impossible to fathom."

Sakata Ginji: "Terrifying... This one... speaks, and instantly radiates the aura of a great master."

A stark contrast to the previous... irritable Evineline."

Evineline: "...... Irritable? When did you develop this delusion? Do you want me to smash your head into bricks?"

Hatsune Miku Miku Hatsune: "...... Honestly, I didn't notice anything irritable about Miss Evin! But now that you say it... I must admit: Sakata-san has an uncanny eye for people."

Daoist True Person Zhang Sanfeng: "Shaka."

"Are you a follower of the Buddhist path?"

Zhang Sanfeng frowned; in his youth he had trained in Buddhist sects, and from Shaka's words, he sensed a faint, elusive Zen essence.

Shaka: "You could say yes. You could also say no."

Daoist True Person Zhang Sanfeng: "!!!!"

Tony Not the Richest: "...... So are you or aren't you? Give a straight answer! I hate people like you who pretend to be mysterious."

Sakura Haru: "Speak plainly. Warning."

"

Su Xiao Xiao: "Tony Stark... this Shaka isn't necessarily pretending! If he really is the one I'm thinking of... he might be unimaginably powerful."

Tony Not the Richest: "......"

Bai Hu Zi: "!!!!"

Yuan Dagu: "Let the President say one thing—it's terrifying when you think about it!"

Gao Ban realm: "Forget it! The President is just like Huang Yuan from the Pirate King world... constantly saying 'How terrifying!' and kicking out a Supernova with every step."

You really believed him... Last time he claimed Macha Yewang was insanely strong! So I fought Macha Yewang—and he lost to me."

Macha Yewang: "......"

Ze Tian Gang Ji: "To be honest... I think this is perfectly normal! You, a long-time member of the Society, bullying a newcomer—doesn't your conscience hurt?"

If not for the fact that he had ties with Gao Ban realm,

Ze Tian Gang Ji would have cursed him as the most shameless person he'd ever seen.

Su Xiao Xiao: "I, Su Xiao Xiao, have always been someone who speaks the truth."

Su Xiao Xiao: "This... Golden Saint Warrior Shaka is known as the man reborn as the Buddha."

The strongest Saint Warrior in the world! The man closest to divinity on Earth."

Kinomoto Sakura: "!!!!"

Kayaba Akihiko: "...... Holy shit,"

Wudao Dong Xiang: "What the hell is going on with this whole string of ridiculously over-the-top titles?"

Gao Ban realm: "...... Maybe! He isn't weak. But it's hard to say he's strong either—after all, worlds differ! Who knows what 'god' means in that world?"

Though startled, Gao Ban realm quickly calmed down.

Not because he doubted it—

2

It wasn't that he insisted on doubting, but that he had been through too much.

He'd seen too much.

After all, the Society's tricks run too deep.

Su Xiao Xiao: "The Golden Saint Warriors can punch at the speed of light! Not to mention—Shaka is the strongest among them."

Punching a hundred million times per second..."

Gao Ban realm: "......"

Gao Ban realm suddenly felt his legs cramp.

Holy shit! Is this real? Gao Ban realm suddenly realized he'd truly run into a wall.

He felt a flicker of panic inside.

After a brief moment of thought, Gao Ban Kyosuke spoke up.

Gao Ban Kyosuke: "I've been racking my brains! I still feel my strength is far too weak.

I'm going to enter closed-door bitter cultivation at the Guild's training hall! Once my divine art is complete, I'll come out and chat with you all again! Farewell."
