Chapter 137: The Idiot Who Trapped Himself

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

[System Equipment: Divinity Crux Swordsmanship. The System activated the maneuver ‘Advent of the Heavenly Sword’!]

[The System attacked Turtle Demon N’gun.]

[The System used Blade Combat Arts. The effect of Martial Realm ‘Like A Butcher Dismembering A Bull’ is triggered. Defense Break! Fatal Strike!]

[The System’s Intermediate Deterrence is in effect. N’gun’s ability was inhibited. His Natural Trait Defence Skill: Impenetrable Sheath was activated. Only 300 Damage Points were dealt.]

[N’gun used his Natural Trait Attack Skill: Self-Detonation.]

[N’gun’s is preparing his Self-Detonation…]

[N’gun’s soul escaped his body.]

[The System used the chance to attack N’gun’s soul.]

[The System managed to capture N’gun’s soul and sent him to the System Prison.]

[N’gun’s Self-Detonation was successful.]

[The System depleted 10 Morality Bars to use Legendary Skill: Thousand-Mile Assistance. The System escaped successfully.]

[The System has obtained innumerable amounts of Heroic Fame. Fame has increased from World-Famous Figure to Resoundingly Renowned Figure. One additional Basic Morality Bar was installed.]

[With the incantations applied from the Intermediate Skill: Morality Envelopment from the Atmospheric Morality Technique, the current amount of Morality Bars has increased from 18 to 21.]

[Currently, one follower has not been able to learn Morality Envelopment as the follower has only achieved the Beginner Level of the Atmospheric Morality Technique. One additional Morality Bar was awarded.]

[Passive Skill: Deterrence has leveled up to High-Level Deterrence. Effect: All enemies of the System will experience a very substantial amount of ability inhibition based on their mental resilience.]

[The System obtained a large amount of Morality. 3 Morality Bars were replenished. 11 Morality Bars are currently filled.]

Now, Fang Ning wouldn’t need to check his surroundings to know where exactly he was. Aside from the Thousand-mile Assistance that showed up in the System Notification, he could hear the excited bark outside. They’re definitely back home…

Brett the Black Dog ran to meet Vigilante A. It then stood on its hind legs to appease its owner. “Master, I’ve never expected your swift return this afternoon as you only departed this morning. I thought you’re going to go on a long journey! I was worried about you…”

Fang Ning took a glance through the System View and immediately became speechless. Maybe he would’ve believed the dog if it bothered to wipe off the grease and crumbs by its mouth before it rushed over…

Still, Vigilante A praised, “Brett, you did a good job this time. From now on, remember to follow the Venerable White Dragon’s instructions daily and do the Summon Dragon God ceremony regularly.”

The Black Dog never expected to be praised. It immediately sat properly with its back straight and raised its paw in pride. “Yes sir,” it answered.

Since the Yellow Dog was busy cultivating the Atmospheric Morality Technique, the Black Dog realized that it must use this opportunity and be more likable to its owner.

Vigilante A continued, “I’ll need to leave soon, and this time it should be much longer. If I only return after a month, I would expect to see that you’ve learned the Atmospheric Morality Technique.”

The Black Dog’s ears drooped sadly as it grumbled weakly, “Yes, Venerable One.”

Vigilante A flew away after he finished his words.

“Thank goodness that I remembered to remind the black dog before we leave this time,” said Fang Ning.

The System agreed, “Yeap, it’s all thanks to you that your body did not suffer severe injury. Morality Envelopment wouldn’t have helped much in that situation, and if you really were to experience a bad injury, the concussion would most probably affect your spiritual sense and cause a temporary drop in your intelligence. The drop would be substantial, and no pills would save you from that. Even if I could keep your other parts in the System Preservation Area, I could do nothing to your head.”

“If my intelligence dropped to N’gun’s level, it would be bad news for me. Initially. It would’ve been impossible for me to penetrate his turtle-shell defense in just 8 hours, and I could basically forget about shattering his entire being. I would’ve gotten nothing out of this, but he somehow decided to self-detonate and fulfill what I said before the battle. No wonder my Reputation would increase so much. It’s almost too rare to come across idiots like him…”

Speechless once again, Fang Ning sighed. “Alright, you sir have somehow won the lottery once again. Still, are you sure you’re alright? Even if you managed to escape, that self-detonation was so powerful that the battle stage nearly collapsed.”

The System replied, “I only have two states, operating, or non-operating. If I can still hold a conversation with you, it means I’m fine.”

Fang Ning added helpfully, “No, you have a third state. You lag. Every time your intelligence drops to 0, it was probably caused by you lagging in your operations.”

The System couldn’t come up with an effective retort. “…”

Fang Ning continued, “Also, I forgot to remind you ’cause you escaped too quickly as the battle stage fell. Who would be responsible if someone died by the collapsing stage?”

The System waved it off. “No one would die. I’ve sensed 3 Pond-level powerhouses watching nearby way before it collapsed. They’ll definitely step in.”

Fang Ning gasped in realization. “Ah, no wonder you didn’t even stop to hesitate when you decided to run. I’ll go and visit that idiot who trapped himself in the System Prison. He’ll probably have the same level of intelligence as you, and thus be a good steady source of Aggro for us.”

The System breathed. “…”

Fang Ning asked, “What’s with the ellipsis?”

“I ‘lagged’, okay?” The System snarled.

At the same time in that divergent space where the Dark Extraordinaire Arena was located, everything was quiet.

In the end, the semi-spheric battle stage did not collapse. Just as it wobbled, numerous white threads shot out from the walls of the semi-sphere and wrapped itself into an extra large Zongzi. It soon stabilized, and the risk of the stage falling was entirely removed.

The audience, who were scrambling in a frenzy towards the exit, gradually settled down after they saw that the threat was neutralized. They left the place in an orderly manner after they were comforted by the personnel present. Just like what the System predicted, no fatality was recorded.

As they walked, they chatted excitedly.

“The Dragon God was amazing!”

“Tell me about it! It was so exhilarating! Though, we must get a seat closer to the exit next time we come and witness his fight.”

“That’s right! The seats near the exit would probably become the most expensive seats every time the Dragon God has a battle in the future.”

As the audience slowly left the place, the digital screen finally switched back on after a round of emergency fixing. An announcement rang through the place.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we offer our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience caused. We will provide full refunds for all tickets, and include a complimentary ticket to a Supreme Challenge Match.”

“Now, we’ll welcome Mister Lin to shed a light on the previous incident.”

Lin Yuqing caressed his white beard and spoke with an amicable smile. “Be at ease, all of you. The battle stage has the best safety precautions, and the danger just now only happened because the organizers couldn’t accurately predict the power of the Venerable Dragon God’s Heavenly Sword Techniques. As this is the debut of the Venerable Dragon God, his attacks had broken some parts of the Levitating Formation around the battle stage. There will be no similar incidents in the future.”

Then, the host stepped up to announce the results. “According to our emergency analysis, these are the results for the first Supreme Challenge Match. Contestant N’gun’s life signs disappeared on stage before the Venerable Dragon God. Thus, the winner of this round is the Venerable Dragon God. As the Venerable Dragon God has left the stage, we will deliver the reward to him soon.”

As they tried to desperately comfort and explain to the rich and famous outside, the Top Management of the Dark Tournament qualifiers match was discussing the ways to handle a bigger problem.

In a room where a written sign of ‘Extraordinaire Arena Alliance Control Centre’ was hung, the three individuals who watched Vigilante A’s escape were having an intense debate.

The wrinkles on the Caucasian old man was trembling furiously, and the last few greying hairs on his bald head were nearly standing on its ends. “Bob! The Eastern Dragon God cannot be blamed just because he has an unrivaled power! We cannot forbid his future participation just because of the damages we suffered this time.”

The black man’s face were nearly red with anger. “Dylan! You knew clearly the loss we suffered just by this one incident! We lost all the monetary gains from the previous two matches. That’s almost 1.2 billion dollars! The Board of Directors will never let us off the hook! If any incidents like this were to occur again, we will never be able to sustain ourselves.”

Dylan the bald man waved Bob’s concern off. “From what we can see from the audience, they’re more excited than terrified. Neither did their trust to us decrease from this incident. The arena’s safety is reliable, and we could make do once we fortify it. Yes, the loss of two matches worth of tickets is immense, but this incident has completely proved the abilities of the Eastern Dragon God.”

“Those rich men would give us even more funds after this, and we could easily recuperate our losses once we double the ticket prices for all matches involving the Eastern Dragon God from now on. Regarding the infrastructure losses, our expensive insurance could ensure the restoration to be done as soon as possible.”

Bob the black man chose to compromise. “Alright, alright. Still, I suggest to cover up this incident as soon as possible. We could never let the people from the Global Special Affairs Joint Office hear anything about this, or they’ll prohibit the audience from watching our matches on the grounds that our matches are too dangerous for the general public. They’re tightening up their reins after all.”

The Asian young man could finally speak. “Bob, Dylan, have you ever considered the possibility that the Eastern Dragon God has perished after the explosion? The announcement to the audience that he escaped was just a temporary measure. We still couldn’t be sure of his status now. We must remember that according to our surveillance equipments, that explosion was an S Grade event. Even a defense expert like N’gun exploded into shreds after that. In this situation, the Venerable Dragon God would probably suffer immense injury even if he somehow survived. Then, all talk about recovering losses through future ticket sales would be for naught. Thus, before we could track down the Venerable Dragon God, we should prepare ourselves for a possible dismissal due to our mismanagement…”

Dylan the bald and Bob the black man immediately started packing their belongings on the table.

“You’re right, Lin Dongwang. We should prepare ourselves for a job change.”

Now, the audience has gradually left the arena. However, none of them returned to their homes like Vigilante A. Instead, they went to a nearby temporary lodging.

The area of the divergent space the Arena was in was much larger than Fang Ning saw before this. If he ever returned and walked around after a match, he’ll find out that there are a multitude of entertainment facilities around, and has the technology that enables internet connection to the real world. It was not complicated but delicate, and its only flaw was that it might experience periodic lagging once in a while.

A certain audience that left the arena were now contacting the man that he worked for in his lodging. He did not connect to the internet, nor did he use his phone. Instead, he lied horizontal on his bed and closed his eyes.

Huang Rui asked, “Master Tom, what happened? You said that N’gun’s soul was now with Anderson? Did they end up in the same hell after they died?”

Tom the black cat replied, “Yes. According to your plan, I promised N’gun to transfer his soul to a handsome, young and rich Caucasian man in America after he killed Vigilante A by self-detonation. Because of that, I had established a Soul Connection with him. I never thought that his soul would have no chance to escape before that hell took him away.”

“I could barely sense the message he sent to me just now. He said that he’s now suffering in a hell named Draconic Penitentiary, and the d*mned prison officer that was tormenting him was Anderson. He want me to stick to my words and rescue him as soon as possible.”

“Will you keep your promise, master?” Huang Rui asked.

Tom the black cat answered, “Now is not the time. I found out that the hell named Draconic Penitentiary has multiple layers that is separating it from the real world. It was too mysterious and eerie that I will never go to that hell and rescue him if I do not have enough information about the place. Besides, it was probably that f*cking Anderson that cut off our Soul Connection abruptly just now. He was the only one who knew my Soul Connection abilities the best. Now, I couldn’t find the coordinates of that hell either.”
