Chapter 34 - Suicide

Of course, this was not something that Lin Lei had compiled himself. Rather, he had gotten inspiration from a book on religion from his previous life.

As for how Lin Lei was able to remember the contents of this book?

He was grateful for the religion and philosophy electives in the university, and for the electives teacher for marking most of the key points in the exam in that book.

Otherwise, Lin Lei really would not be able to remember it.

Lin Lei picked up his brush and wrote down yet another sentence before putting it down. 

"Why did you stop writing?"

The Ancestral God was rather anxious.

"I suddenly feel a little sleepy. Why don't I write it after I finish my battle with the dragon?" 

Lin Lei pretended to yawn, then stretched lazily.

"You've only written this much. Why are you already sleepy?"

The Ancestral God became even more anxious.

"Who knows? Maybe I overused my brain just now, so I'm getting tired quickly."

Lin Lei sighed."You must understand that compiling holy scriptures isn't an easy task."

"So, do you need me to give you some power so that you have the energy to continue writing?"

The Ancestral God asked in amusement.

"If you're willing." Lin Lei's smile was incomparably radiant.

"Alright, let me think about how to increase your power."

The Ancestral God pondered for a moment. "There's not much potential left in your physical body. However, there's still room for improvement in your techniques.

"Come out."

With the Ancestral God's call, a translucent apparition slowly appeared in the air.

The apparition had two large dark circles around its eyes and a pair of small black round ears on the top of its head. It was chubby and looked like a large oval wooden bucket. In its right hand was an extremely simple black sword.

The moment the apparition appeared and saw the Ancestral God, it immediately turned around and bowed respectfully.

"Believer greets the Ancestral God."

"You may rise."

The Ancestral God's voice was rather dignified.

"Yes."

Because this soul had turned around, Lin Lei was able to see that on its back, there was an extremely short black tail.

Given the ears and the dark circles around its eyes, Lin Lei quickly guessed what clan this apparition was from.

If he was not wrong, this apparition should be a panda orc.

Lin Lei once more recalled some of the memories in his mind, and suddenly remembered that in the long river of history of this continent, there had been a panda orc who was known by the world as the Grand Sword Saint.

If he was not wrong, the person in front of him should be the soul of the Great Sword Saint.

"Now, I have something I need you to do."

The Ancestral God's words also confirmed that Lin Lei's guess was correct.

"I want you to possess the young man behind you. When he needs your Grand Swordmaster skills, you can appear to help him."

"A fox orc?"

The Grand Swordmaster turned to look at Lin Lei with a hint of interest in his eyes."There aren't many Fox orcs who battle."

"Senior," Lin Lei said and nodded respectfully.

"Since the Ancestral God has already requested for me to do so, I naturally have to obey his arrangements."

The Great Sword Saint nodded, then walked toward Lin Lei. Then, he turned, his body completely overlapping with Lin Lei's.

In less than a second, the soul of the Great Sword Saint had disappeared.

"He's already in your body," the Ancestral God explained.

"Is possession that simple?"

Lin Lei was somewhat stunned.

"For me, possession is indeed not difficult. However, for many people, they might not necessarily succeed."

"I see."

Lin Lei suddenly understood.

"Alright, since your skill has been upgraded, you can go out first. As for the holy scriptures, we'll talk about it after you finish the match."

The Ancestral God waved his hand, and Lin Lei immediately returned to his cell.

Daisy's painful moans still had not stopped. This made Lin Lei feel very uncomfortable, and in addition, Lin Lei wanted to get rid of the dragon even more now.

"Dragon?

"Hmph." He snorted.

Lin Lei let out a cold laugh, a hint of ruthlessness flashing through his eyes.

"Just you wait. When the time comes, you won't even be able to become an insect!"

This time, Tullius did not pay any more visits to Lin Lei's cell. However, the news that Lin Lei was about to fight against the dragon had already spread from outside the prison to inside.

Even Daisy, who was now half-dead, knew about this.

"As expected of a black-hearted merchant and a cold-blooded slave owner."

Daisy sneered, trying to stop herself from trembling.

"If he cared about the lives of people like us, he wouldn't have done this kind of business."

Lin Lei shrugged his shoulders, not paying it much mind.

The reason he was able to quickly think of killing the dragon to avenge Daisy was that he had guessed that after Daisy, it would be him fighting the dragon.

After all, there were not many gladiators who had won 90 matches in a row. Now that the legendary female gladiator Daisy had been defeated, it was obvious that he would be the next.

"You're right, but there's nothing else I can teach you, and I really can't beat a dragon. If I have to give you some advice, it's that you should kill yourself the moment you go on stage."

Daisy gritted her teeth, then raised her head to look at Lin Lei seriously.

"Anyway, when you're about to compete, the masked man will come over and sell you some weapons. You can buy a sharp dagger, and when you get the dagger in the arena, stab it into your heart or slit your neck while everyone is cheering for you."

"But Daisy, you didn't do that, and I believe that even if you knew about your current situation in advance, you wouldn't have done that."

Lin Lei's words caused Daisy to fall silent for a moment.

"You're right, but even though it's embarrassing, I still have to tell you that the pain I'm in right now is worse than death. If it isn't for the fact that hitting the wall is useless, I might have already died. I won't let myself lose without putting up a fight, but I really can't stand this kind of pain."

"Daisy, I'll avenge you. Trust me."

"Avenge? How are you going to avenge me?"

Daisy could not help but laugh.

"I admit that your improvement is rapid, but your strength is on par with mine. Even I can't defeat the dragon, so what method do you have to defeat him?"

"I..."

"Alright, you don't have to say anymore. I said that just now because I want to tell you that this kind of pain is really unbearable. I think I don't have many days left."

Daisy laughed bitterly.

"Thus, I have no choice but to acknowledge a fact. Lin Lei, you are my only friend. I don't want you to suffer this sort of pain, but I have also forgotten that you are a warrior. My words just now were an insult to you. I am sorry."
