Quest Maker of Soul Land
Chapter 174: Liu Erlong vs Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan (1)
As fate would have it, the next to match up with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was none other than the Spirit Academy.
Although others would blame luck, as the faction with the greatest control over the match-up, it wasn't unknown for Bibi Dong to use some sly methods. Their goal was winning the match and raking benefits. Taking down the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan when it is already wounded was in terms with Bibi Dong's practices.
"Alright, these are all the requests. The highest rewarding faction is the Heaven Dou Empire itself. The Emperor wants to bet a relic. It's an ancient relic that the Imperial Clan received from the Yu Clan and for this important relic, they want the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to return the Swan Staff granted to them."
Bibi Dong read through all the requests. As the facilitator of the bet, the Spirit Hall will gain many precious items from the vaults of the Empire and even a contract for the production of an armory. The Spirit City didn't have any particular interest in the clan. Ja Sun, too, only added another exotic, unusable spirit essence tool to study and gain more understanding of the art. Just the subsequent techniques gained from Heaven's Carving Technique were amazing.
Bibi Dong then, as usual, proceeded to bet various resources through other teams. Even if they lose, there was simply too much to gain and after 13 days, the strength of almost all the teams was pretty much recorded allowing various factions to fully understand the odds before betting. Today, aside from a few pieces of knowledge from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Bibi Dong collaborated with the Godwind Academy, the Blazing Academy, the Diamond Mammoth Sect, and the Wind Sword Sect. Meanwhile, four other teams approached their team for resources from the Dragon Clan.
Once the deal was settled, everyone gathered around her table. Sighing deeply, Bibi Dong looked at Liu Erlong, "Like I said before. If I let you face all of them alone... it would defeat the purpose of this competition for us. We can surely win, but nobody will bet against us. This will isolate us from all the resources being exchanged."
Still not willing to give up on her dream to utterly humiliate the clan in front of the entire continent, Liu Erlong scoffed, "What if it was Ka-ul? When we finally have a match against the White Tiger Clan, what if he wants to tackle them alone?"
"Oh," Ja Sun nodded, "This is actually a good point. If my injury is healed, I want to defeat Dai Taiyin alone once again."
Bibi Dong rubbed her forehead. This was the disadvantage of teammates being too fierce.
"You're not helping," she groaned as Ja Sun shrugged. He wasn't here to help but find his fortunes. To him, aside from Hint of Evil, The Star Luo Imperial Clan has brought him one of the greatest missions and rewards. If possible, he wanted the two arm bones again so that he can try and push them over to the 100000-years of cultivation.
"Liu Erlong... there is only one way for you to have your wish and also from keeping our weary reputation destroyed," Oscar suddenly proposed, "What if... you defeat most of their teammates only to lose in the end. Say, leaving only 2 members of the opposing team standing. We are not betting anything too great since the hall is not particularly interested in the Clan's resources.
The only ones to lose will be the other factions adding to the bet. Brother Ka-ul can remove his bet, too. This way, the news that the formerly exiled member of the clan almost defeating the entire team of the clan would undermine their reputation— achieving your goal. And your 'eventual' loss after giving your all and incurring injuries will also serve the team's collective purpose for the future bet."
Oscar's words made Ja Sun nod as he grinned, "But for that, you will need to create the cause of such conflict. You will need to take the initiative starting from now... a friend of mine is well-capable of spreading rumors. This endeavor is certainly possible."
Although there may be good things hidden behind the gates of the Dragon Clan, Ja Sun himself wanted to see Liu Erlong letting it all out. After her martial soul had evolved to Infernal Dragon King, she had only kept herself in check and control.
Having Ja Sun's and Oscar's support, Bibi Dong finally gave it a thought. This was risky... too much. In fact, after this match, she wagered that Liu Erlong must disappear for the next three matches at least. That meant three days. And even after that, she must not go overboard and blow her cover.
---
"Liu Erlong! You dare spread slanders!"
"I'll tear you from limbs to limbs!"
"You insulted our clan and our families!"
Seven men, including Yu Shandian, glared at Liu Erlong coldly.
"Hey, did you hear that? All of them are angry... maybe it is true after all..." The audience began to whisper.
"Yeah, it is said that before leaving her clan, Liu Erlong actually ruined many wives for their husbands!" An astonished gasp rang out and Ja Sun continued to fan the flames even more eagerly.
"Not only that, Liu Erlong still holds the evidence!"
"Whoo... I wanna see that!"
On the stage, meanwhile, Liu Erlong's body shuddering. She felt deeply ashamed. But hearing Ja Sun's compressed voice, she regained her composure.
It was clear by now that to actually add a reason for conflict, Ja Sun, along with Bibi Dong's network, began to spread rumors that in anger and need of vengeance, Liu Erlong slept with many elders and geniuses' wives, and mothers before leaving. It wouldn't have worked if Liu Erlong hadn't already solidified her demonic reputation and didn't have short hair. After all, it would take time for her raven hair to grow long again and as much as Ja Sun's previous world would disapprove to judge a book by its cover, this world was quick to judge.
Many wholly believed that Liu Erlong was capable of doing this.
Heaving a deep breath, Liu Erlong recalled all the lines and phrases Ja Sun jotted down for her. In his words— this will push some buttons. But Ja Sun also made sure to state the fact that if she's dishing it out, she will have to take it, too. This will eventually lead to the conflict Liu Erlong is hoping for and give her the reason to fight alone in the eyes of many spectators.
Like usual, Erlong stood in front and sneered.
"Truths aren't slandering! Your fathers are so busy diving in the dragon's pond that they left their wives' unchecked! All I did was help drain a few of them," Liu Erlong scoffed and crossed her arm. Her tone loud and bold. There are simply too many spirit masters, especially the rogue ones, who have an open view on such things. To them, even consent is a luxury at times.
Hearing her words spread out, the expression of the seven men, the five backup teammates, their teacher, and the clan elders in the middle ring of the viewer's area, all changed!
"Ahhh! You slut! Just like your mom, you're the same!" A member shouted.
But with a cold glare, Liu Erlong snapped, "My mother was forced into prostitution from a young age. Your mother was a whore by choice!"
Ja Sun was especially proud of this one. It sounded righteous and insulting in a single phrase.
The youth's expression stiffened while Yu Shandian forcefully heaved in a deep breath.
"Liu Erlong, you have always been—"
"And don't get me started on your mother, nay, mothers! The patriarch's two wives so empty and dry that I had to use there!" saying this, Liu Erlong spirit transformed and raised her two claw-like fingers as she waved them.
Yu Shandian's expression turned pale while also allowed to view the match, in the Spirit City, Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth.
"Enough!"
The referee coldly remarked. The audience was already going wild. To them, the various members of the clans were celebrities, and what better entertainment than such slanderous calls?!
"But you all the Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan members are an eyesore! I'll defeat each and every one of you by myself. Everyone, please step down. They have insulted my mother for the last time," Liu Erlong turned around and cupped her fist while winking at her team.
Forcibly suppressing their smiles, Bibi Dong revealed a complicated expression before stepping down.
"Are they really going to let Liu Erlong fight a team of seven Spirit Emperors alone?"
"Don't forget that this is the strongest beast martial soul! Their combat ability should touch a Spirit Sage's already."
"And Yu Shandian is known to be a stronger genius than Liu Erlong! She's crazy!"
"That's why I like her! Whooo! Go Erlong!"
Chants began to spread. Right or wrong, the audience didn't care. They only needed to follow the brightest star until he or she is overtaken by someone else.
As everyone except Liu Erlong had stepped down, Yu Shandian's expression turned for the worse.
"I will take her alone," Yu Shandian gritted his teeth. He was explained well how strong Liu Erlong is now. She had encountered a fortune that allowed her to evolve her martial soul.
"No, I will defeat all you bastards alone," Liu Erlong grinned, "And then I will take down your fathers! And finally, I'll humiliate your mothers like mine was.".
This came from her heart. A sense of killing intent full of maddening bloodlust exploded. The referee couldn't help but drench in cold sweat. Almost every formal referee is a member of the Hint of Evil and given that only Ja Sun bothered to actually observe them, it was clear that these men were once again covered by a yin-yang illusion.
The pressure made the remaining six members on the stage pale.
"Start the match already," Liu Erlong stared at the referee.
"Prepare!"
The man shouted coldly, barely dispersing the effects of the bloodlust from himself.
Meanwhile, Ja Sun and others reached their seating area with Hu Lana and Tang Yuehua already present.
"Liu Erlong may never rise from her current reputation," Xie Xan sucked in a breath of cold air and finally spoke up as Ja Sun shrugged, "I think it's awesome."
"Of course, you do," Ah Yin rolled her eyes.
Ja Sun shrugged as they sat down. This time Ja Sun didn't throw his temper as he was flanked again. Yuehua had a few interesting things to say about it and Ja Sun also knew that his need to sit at the corner stemmed from his greater digestive system back in the previous world that made him frequent to the washroom and it just became a part of his behavior. But, if Yuehua was right about the two being so twisted that it was their method of being coy...
Then wouldn't he advantage from it in the end?
While lightning claps and booming thunder echoed in the stage, every member of the Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan activating their spirit transformation, Ja Sun leaned back while heaving a deep sigh, "Man, I feel a little congested. Hng, there, this is nice."
For his teammates, Ja Sun produced another glorious scene as he leaned back to extend his hands out and around Ah Yin's and Bibi Dong's shoulders.
He felt that he should have just done this yesterday instead of unnecessarily provoking the duo.
*Gasp*
Hu Lana squeaked, her cheeks ruddy as if she had seen a great view.
'Yeah girl, feel blessed to see your best friend having a time of his life,' Ja Sun winked as Hu Lana instantly began to laugh uncontrollably. Everyone shook their heads.
Bibi Dong and Ah Yin couldn't help but glance at each other unconsciously and seeing the regret on their faces, they seemed to have strangely gotten closer.
On the stage, meanwhile, after the match began, the seven opposing members each with a similar suit of blue scales covering their bodies, their limbs turned into claws, stared at Liu Erlong coldly. Lightning flickered on their body while lick flames continued to erupt from Liu Erlong's scales.
"Despite your slanders, we will fight this match honorably. Just because you—"
"Horn Obliteration!"
Liu Erlong remarked coldly as the short and cute little horns grew sharply with a purely destructive ultimate fire concentrating. Her fifth spirit ring continued to flash deeply and Yu Shandian's expression changed. His sixth spirit ring flickered and he scowled.
'Plasma Strike!'
He opened his mouth wide and lightning concentrated on one point in front of his mouth as a striking blue plasma formed and erupted at the same time the ray of fire from the space in the center of Liu Erlong's Horns shot out.
*Sizzle*
*Crackle*
The moment the two rays of light met, they only let out a soft sound before Liu Erlong's Horn Obliteration shot through while lightning dispersed around it, still coiling but its force had already been destroyed. From the very beginning, Liu Erlong's martial soul had pressured the Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul. The Infernal Dragon King simply was a mutated but an apex predator.
Its abilities far surpassing those of the same ranks and this will be even more prominent against weaker tyrant dragon martial souls. That, alongside all her attacks now brought to another level due to Ultimate Fire that coursed in her veins simply made her look nothing else from a ferocious beast.
However, the Horn Obliteration suddenly lost its strength, too, and dispersed into the air. Still standing alone, Liu Erlong held a mocking grin.
"Even your mother alone couldn't satisfy me. Had to look for your second mother."
Three men— Yu Shandian, Yu Xiaogang, and Yu Yuanzhen, were all instantly offended permanently as their lips quivered. It has to be kept in mind that the calmly smiling Qian Xunji had the matches broadcasted throughout the continent. The prestige of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was directly affected this time.
"I'll kill you today!" A member behind Yu Shandian howled and shot forward. His rush left out a trail of flickering lightning while Liu Erlong's claws instantly lit up on flames. Her first spirit ring flashed constantly and she simply jogged to meet the opponent. Other members still didn't move, finding it dishonorable to fight Liu Erlong together.
"Oh, come on! If a woman is asking to be teamed on, just fulfill her wish!" Ja Sun shouted from outside. He had his hands around Ah Yin and Bibi Dong and looked like a debauched young master. Even his words weren't any better and his sincere expression and tone of dissatisfaction made Liu Erlong's expression bleak as she changed her mind instantly.
Instead of meeting the opponent head-on, Liu Erlong suddenly jumped. She was getting close to the opposing side when her third spirit ring flashed.
'Ultimate Bombardment!'
Wrapped in a ball of flames, Liu Erlong's maddened laugh was suppressed as the flames exploded out instantly. Unlike last time, after her evolution, the third spirit ring didn't hurt her anymore!
The force of explosion failed to push the members away but they still hurriedly dispersed around the stage to avoid the 'splash' effect where licks of flames instantly splattered out, setting the stage of fire.
"Still not attacking?" Liu Erlong provoked, "Come on," she gritted her teeth. This was one sentence she did not want to speak but seeing Ja Sun's eager expression, she sighed internally.
Things she had to do to appease one man-child.
"After all, your mothers would jump at the chance of engaging me together!"
Ja Sun's loud laugh was drowned out by the thundering guffaw of the audience.
Ja Sun really wished to be the one to say all of this but he was satisfied. After all, these were his words. It didn't matter who delivered these lines as long as they did it well and Liu Erlong made Ja Sun overjoyed.
Silent, the laughing and clapping of the audience constantly hammering down at their hearts as their breathing turned short and shallow, Yu Shandian finally hissed softly.
"Together..."
But Liu Erlong only smirked. Her fourth spirit ring brightening. However, this time, others acted instantly.
"Attack! Fuck the rules! We'll kill her today!"
"Roar!"
"Lightning Lance!"
"Ahh! Never insult my mom! She's dead!"
Screams rang as the phantom of the giant Infernal Dragon King appeared behind Liu Erlong. By now, those who have fought against Liu Erlong in the previous matches were feeling a little better. They could have never expected for Liu Erlong to hold back so much. In fact, as they observed, they realized that most of her attacks are as lethal to her teammates as they are to her opponents and this is one of the reasons why Bibi Dong finally agreed on this kind of compromise.
"Infernal Dragon's Roar!" Liu Erlong yelled and the shadow of the Infernal Dragon King roared. It felt silent to others but those around Liu Erlong instantly looked shocked as their attacks made of lightning wavered and... caught fire!
Lightning caught fire! They all caught fire!
The stage, too, instantly erupted in flames.
Ja Sun's eyes widened. He recalled this technique when he first defeated Liu Erlong but now...
'And here I thought I'd never get to use my sixth spirit ability...' He heaved a sigh of relief. Now he fully believed that Liu Erlong is the only one to have gained the greatest benefit from absorbing their Immortal Herbs. Right now, in their team, only Hu Lana and Tang Yuehua were left.
"Activate your third skill!"
Yu Shandian shouted and lightning covered him completely. His skin was already at the point of charring and his clothes reduced to ashes.
"Ah, perverted mothers sire perverted children... but not too impressive, heh," Liu Erlong cackled and didn't give her opponents a chance.
She instantly clawed at the nearest member. Lightning instantly sizzled on her crimson scales, threatening to break them into bloody pieces but Liu Erlong's attack directly tore into the opponent's chest. Compared to these individuals, the dragon that Yu Xiaogang summoned was simply far mightier! At least, it managed to injure her.
The youth screamed desperately while Liu Erlong proceeded to kick him. The force traveled fiercely and the injured youth instantly fell out. Under Qian Xunji's directive, medics were already present and they hurried to take care of the youth. They couldn't remove the Ultimate Fire. Even Qian Xunji couldn't. This was something that Liu Erlong had to do after the match and the healing-type spirit masters could only stabilize the injured youth's situation.
"Yu Jun!" with a bloody scream, the youth next to Liu Erlong used his sixth spirit skill.
Thundercloud formed above the stage only a few meters away and Liu Erlong looked up with a deeply exciting gaze!
"Thunder-- Clap!!"
The youth screamed, a large bolt of lightning instantly striking Liu Erlong. Her eyes widened as piercing pain made her shudder. Her short hair stood to its ends and she glared at the youth.
"Is that it?" She remarked coldly as she saw the thundercloud already dispersing after one attack. It was evident that the sixth spirit ring didn't even come close to the level of 20000 years of cultivation.
"Everyone, begin the lightning formation!" Yu Shandian bit his lips, revealing his trump card. The lightning around him turned purple as his right claw suddenly got encased in a purplish metallic luster.
Seeing this, every viewer gasped—
Spirit Bone!
This was the first time a spirit bone is being used in the match. After all, revealing a spirit bone meant having a target on one's back since it can be robbed over one's corpse.
The remaining five men instantly surrounded Liu Erlong, their fourth spirit ring brightening.
"Lightning Shackles!"
They shouted as chains of lightning shot out from their naked chests. Although Ultimate Fire burned on their skin, they gritted their teeth and bore everything.
The shackles moved at the speed of lightning and gave Liu Erlong no chance to dodge.
Chains coiled around the body as she growled while Yu Shandian pointed at Liu Erlong— "Die!" He roared!
