Chapter 830: Soaring Power

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Dongfang Zhuangshi used a crimson light barrier to envelop the others as he performed high-speed spatial hops.

Amid a vast expanse of chaos, his hand involuntarily felt An Lin’s chest.

An Lin stared at the male in shock. “What are you doing?!”

Xu Xiaolan: “???”

Dongfang Zhuangshi grinned. “You really can’t summon that little golden person who’s wearing my blood jade? Although I can still recover my power if I keep close to you, I can recover much quicker if you let him out!”

An Lin grimaced. “I really can’t summon him! I can’t control that brat!”

A look of disappointment fell over Dongfang Zhuangshi’s face.

“Also! Just say what you want next time,” An Lin said sternly. “Don’t feel my chest!”

“Why?” Dongfang Zhuangshi blinked as if he was confused.

An Lin trembled in anger. “What do you mean why? Don’t you find such intimate contact between two males weird?”

“But I’m not a human1… I’m a kirin. Perhaps it’s because your golden child is wearing my blood jade. I have a natural sense of attraction toward you. Just then, I even wanted to lick you…”

An Lin shuddered and silently distanced himself from Dongfang Zhuangshi. “Stay away from me!”

He was almost licked by a middle-aged man… A repulsive chill welled up in his heart when he pictured this.

Xu Xiaolan also shifted her position and consciously placed herself between An Lin and Dongfang Zhuangshi. M-hm, Dongfang Zhuangshi’s intimate act had frightened her as well. She had to stop that kind of behavior from the outset.

…

Speaking of An Kirin, it looked like his battle against the white vermilion bird was about to begin any second now.

An Kirin’s confidence skyrocketed after he received the red t-shirt and red shorts. It was time for him to exact revenge and pummel the Holy Flame Vermilion Bird.

He stood on the whale’s head, and his aura erupted outward and swept up bursts of energy waves.

The flaming vermilion bird detected this sudden commotion and looked toward An Kirin. A holy might dazzled in its golden eyes, and its expression was extremely condescending. It appeared as if it didn’t view An Kirin as a threat.

Boom!

Arcs of Golden Void Lightning burst from An Kirin’s body and shot toward the vermilion bird.

The vermilion bird let out a crisp screech. It flapped its wings at the golden lightning, and waves of holy flames surged down toward An Kirin. The Golden Void Lightning exploded on the holy flames, yet it was unable to penetrate through the waves of fire.

The cloak of white lightning behind An Kirin exploded, and a fearsome sword intent suffused through the sea of vital energy.

He stamped his foot, and his body shot into the sky. The white lightning, which enveloped his body, formed into a heaven-piercing lightning sword. He was the sword, and the sword was him!

In this instant, An Kirin reached the state of “being one with the sword”!

The White Lightning Divine Sword possessed a boundless sharpness as it slashed the vermilion bird’s holy flames apart. It was unstoppable!

The vermilion bird wasn’t a pushover either, and golden ripples burst out from its eyes.

Countless golden fire discs materialized behind its back, and they were arranged such that they looked like the spread tail feathers of a peacock. Afterward, the fire discs released a terrifying energy field that crushed down toward An Kirin!

An Kirin’s charging sword might faltered, and his speed became slower and slower. The body of the sword also started trembling, as if it was about to shatter any second.

The vermilion bird sneered as it looked at the slowing An Kirin. It raised its proud head as if to say: Your grandpa is still your grandpa!

“Hiyah!” An Kirin yelled, and a fearsome red glow burst forth from his t-shirt and shorts.

The power of blood flowed onto his White Lightning Divine Sword and attached itself to the sword blade. The might of the sword instantly increased, and its sharpness was even greater than before.

Whoosh!

The divine sword sped up once again!

This time, even the crushing energy field wasn’t able to stop the might of the lightning sword!

The white vermilion bird’s pupils contracted. It flapped its wings and tried to dodge the strike.

However, that sword was far too quick. The vermilion bird was unable to dodge, and it was cut into two.

The anguished cries of the vermilion bird echoed through the sea of vital energy. Its body transformed into white holy flames as it crumbled and vanished. This was the first time it had lost to An Kirin!

When the vermilion bird rematerialized, it was unwilling to accept its loss. Thus, it launched into another battle with An Kirin.

However, it lost again.

The holy flames regathered, and it continued to battle!

Then, it lost once again.

It battled and it lost; it lost and it battled…

Eventually, the Holy Flame Vermilion Bird accepted its defeat…

An Kirin had enjoyed himself immensely. He laughed heartily as he dragged the whale through the sea of vital energy. From time to time, he would raise his middle finger toward the vermilion bird in the sky.

The vermilion bird didn’t dare to accept his challenge. It was genuinely frightened of him.

It was also at this moment that An Lin suddenly developed some kind of feeling.

He tapped a finger at the void, and a white holy flame appeared on his fingertip. It appeared especially holy and pure.

Xu Xiaolan exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this. “An Lin, you’re also able to use holy flames?”

“Yeah? Impressive, aren’t I?” An Lin grinned smugly.

In the past, the power of the white vermilion bird would work at times, but be unresponsive at other times. It was all down to luck whether he could draw on its power or not. However, ever since the white vermilion bird was defeated by An Kirin, he could draw on this power whenever he wanted! As expected of An Kirin, his lucky star! Massive thumbs-up!

Speaking of which, there were many new updates in the system following his ranking up.

For example, An Lin could learn new moves and techniques now!

“Intermediate Rank God of War Cannon Technique—God of War Heaven Blasting Cannon! Condition: Have ten supreme beings of the Return to Void Stage or above like you, and have ten supreme beings of the Return to Void Stage or above abhor you.”

Check the name of this technique out… It’s evidently a supremely powerful move!

Heaven Blasting Cannon. It can even blast the heavens; what can’t it blast?

I, An Ritian, am definitely going to learn this technique!

The condition for receiving this technique was also very interesting. Not only did he need to attract fans, but he even needed to create enemies! How unique!

On the bottom, there was even a mission progress bar.

“Have ten supreme beings of the Return to Void Stage or above like you, servants excluded. According to brainwaves and divine sense waves, as well as the system’s deductions, current progress stands at 7/10. Yi Xi, Lin Junjun, Yan Hua, Xiao Ze, Tina, Jade Bone Immortal Butterfly, Dongfang Zhuangshi.”

An Lin: “…”

Holy heavens! Was something extraordinary exposed?

A wave of emotions surged through An Lin’s mind as he looked at the system.

No! This “like” is most likely referring to the type of “like” between friends. In other words, a favorable impression and the opposite of abhor. Otherwise, this won’t make sense. M-hm, this must be the case!

At this moment, two large and warm hands suddenly clamped down on An Lin’s shoulders.

An Lin turned around and found Dongfang Zhuangshi smiling at him.

“Ahhh!” An Lin screamed in fright and swatted the male’s hands away. “Get the f*ck away from me!”

Dongfang Zhuangshi was dumbfounded. The others also looked at An Lin in surprise. Why was An Lin’s reaction so intense? He was merely being patted on the shoulders…

Xu Xiaolan blinked thoughtfully.

“Cough, I’m feeling a little unwell right now,” An Lin said solemnly. “I’m extremely sensitive to any sort of bodily contact. Apart from Xiaolan, none of you touch me. Or else, don’t blame me for being aggressive.”

Dongfang Zhuangshi: “…”

Xu Xiaolan: “…”

Everyone else: “…”

So, apart from Xiaolan, no one else can touch you? This type of request is really hurtful, okay?!

An Lin couldn’t care less about them, and he turned his attention back to the system.

Say, this Yan Hua is a Holy Palace Leader of the snow maidens, isn’t she?

She actually likes me?

Could it be that she has a good impression of me because I happened to rescue her a few times in the Ancient Tai Chu Realm?

M-hm… I definitely can’t let Xu Xiaolan learn of this!

An Lin turned his gaze toward the “have ten supreme beings of the Return to Void Stage or above abhor you” column.

So, which supreme beings abhorred him…?
