--- Chapter 256 ---
The next day.
Yu Long stretched his body and walked out of his bedroom. He was busy experimenting with his King's Mark for an entire night.
Even then, it was a bountiful harvest.
He stared at the red mark on the back of his right hand, "I think I get the hang of it now."
"Rudra, the Howler." As Yu Long finished his words, the King's Mark lit up with dim red light. He felt another boost on his body and smiled because this ability was neat.
It didn't clash with Kaiju Maker and even showed a sign of synergy.
Of course, Yu Long has to see if the synergy went well with more experiments.
"Master." A voice greeted Yu Long.
Yu Long glanced back and saw Yona holding a tray of porridge. It looks like chicken porridge and is edible.
Staring at Yona's hopeful expression, Yu Long could only grab the spoon and taste the porridge. Surprisingly, it tastes okay.
It's not the best porridge Yu Long had, for sure. But good enough for his sensitive tongue.
Remember, Yu Long's five senses are enhanced and very sharp.
Yu Long looked down on Yona's fingers and noticed some wrapped in bandages. His mouth twitched slightly because Yona's body could instantly heal. After all, he made it that way.
However, how much effort did Yona put this much effort into making the porridge and get injured like this?
"It tastes good." Yu Long praised her.
"Really?" Yona beamed happily.
"Yes." Yu Long give the porridge another try.
Not far away, Xiao Lingxi smiled faintly and looked like a proud mother who had taught her daughter how to cook for the first time. She has bandaged here and there, getting it because Yona clumsily prepared chickens.
Fortunately, Xiao Lingxi didn't get seriously injured.
Chu Yueli leaned on the wall near Xiao Lingxi and said, "You know you're helping your competitor, right?"
"Lady Chu!" Xiao Lingxi was startled. She was flustered and fumbled with her movement, nearly falling to the floor.
She nervously stared at Chu Yueli, "I don't think helping someone in need is wrong."
"Yona only wanted to be a better cook."
"So, I decided to teach her a little."
Chu Yueli sighed, "You're too kind."
"Anyway, I'm here not to criticize you. I'm here to see how much progress you made."
Xiao Lingxi sighed in relief when listening to Chu Yueli's words, but the second part made her freeze on the spot like a statue.
"What? Don't tell me you haven't made much progress after I left you for the Demon Star Secret Realm?" Chu Yuali frowned, making Xiao Lingxi panic.
Xiao Ling looked away, "I made some progress. However, I didn't think it was right. Nothingness Sutra felt familiar and familiar to me for some reason."
"My cultivation base hasn't increased much."
"Yet I can feel this weird aura of nothingness." She added weakly.
Chu Yueli narrowed her eyes, "Aura of nothingness?"
Xiao Lingxi nodded and replied, "I think it has something to do with my Profound Art and Veins."
"For example..."
Xiao Lingxi raised her palm and made Chu Yueli frown because she felt a faint energy swirling above her palm. It was not tangible or visible to the naked eye.
"That is weird." Chu Yueli pondered a bit.
"I don't think this was the Nothingness Master mentioned to me."
"Then, it must be Void Qi."
"It seems you have completely saturated your Profound Energy and turned it into Void Qi, which is quite strong."
Xiao Lingxi's eyes lit up, "Does that mean I can become stronger as I keep refining this energy?"
Chu Yueli flicked Xiao Lingxi's forehead, mimicking what Yu Long had done to Shizu yesterday. "Obviously, no."
"You are only at the stage of refining energy."
"You don't even know how to wield it."
"Think about it. Can you kill someone with a glass of water?"
"No..." Xiao Lingxi answered weakly.
Chu Yueli nodded, "That's exactly your problem. Your knowledge of the Profound Way and Martial Arts is zero. In this world, people like you die faster than anyone else."
"You're a complete novice."
"I..." Xiao Lingxi felt depressed.
Chu Yueli shook her head gently, "Being a newbie isn't bad."
"Unlike me, who taught about those fields from a young age, my path has been decided..."
"It's hard for me to change my path."
"Think of it as a habit."
"Even with the help of my Master, I was only able to make my path better and not change it completely."
"So, I have to find my path?" Xiao Lingxi tilted her head.
"Everyone does." Chu Yueli replied calmly.
Xiao Lingxi pumped her fist and said, "I will do my very best to master Void Qi!"
"That's the spirit, I guess." Chu Yueli let out a chuckle.
"What are you two discussing about?" Yu Long walked toward them with the finished porridge bowl. Behind him, Yona looks satisfied that her Master finished her food.
Chu Yueli smiled, "It's nothing."
"Let me take that bowl and bring these two to the training ground."
"Have a nice day, Master."
After taking the bowl, Chu Yueli dragged Xiao Lingxi and Yona away, leaving Yu Long alone in the hallway.
Yu Long shrugged, "I might as well look for Camilla. That girl has been anxious after not seeing her mother for a day."
With that in mind, Yu Long was about to check the Sky Poison Pearl, but he quickly sensed a spatial disturbance above the Plain of Solitude. He frowned because an unpleasant presence was coming from it.
It is the same presence that Ares had.
"Which one of the scums disturbed my turf this time?" Yu Long teleported out, standing on the plain with Onny. It seems the Ichthyosaurus Kaiju also sensed the presence.
Onny had a marlin in her hand and ate it like caveman meat, "Master, I can smell the scent of sea from this person."
"Scent of the sea, huh?" Yu Long stared at the white crack that appeared above the plain. "I think I know who'd come here."
"I bet it's the fucking Merman."
A jet stream of water burst out from the white crack, making seawater flood the Plain of Solitude. Fortunately, Fu Zhong put many arrays in the area, allowing Yu Long to twist the ground and divert the water away.
The sound of popping bubbles invaded the world, and a slender figure appeared.
A Merman appeared with his blue-scaled fish bottom half and a lean upper half. He also has similarly blue hair, falling to his waist.
BOOM!
Waterfall crashed to the ground.
"WHO KILLED ARES, SHOW YOURSELF!" The merman roared at them.
Yu Long dug his ears, "So fucking noisy."
"I'm the one who killed that scum."
"YOU BASTARD!" The merman conjured a trident with the power of sea and gravity, making everything around him one hundred times heavier.
Yu Long calmly crossed his arms as if the gravity pressure didn't exist and mocked, "Do you have a problem with it, Poseidon?"
"Aww, are you mad that your best friend died? You never change at all."
"You're so mad when I killed Ares for the first time."
"Who are you??" Poseidon was baffled. Besides the Gods of Olympus, none should know about such a matter.
Yes, no one. Beside one person.
Poseidon's eyes widened as he looked at Onny and felt a familiar Kaiju's Presence from her.
Then, he looked at Yu Long in horror, "You..."
"YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD!!"
"NO, WAIT! YOU DON'T HAVE THAT HALO ANYMORE!" Poseidon pointed his trident at Yu Long.
"You probably haven't recovered your full strength while I've become stronger than my past self."
"Good, I will kill you and take the Kaiju Maker's power away!" His azure eyes flashed with killing intent and endless greed.
'This fish guy is delusional.' Onny thought to herself.
"ONE THOUSAND AND ONE DAY'S ATLANTIS!" Poseidon summoned the world of the deep sea, causing the whole Plain of Solitude to enter a gigantic ball of water.
SWOOOSH!
SHING!
BOOM!
Yu Long was about to raise his finger when a sharp aura exploded and tore the gigantic water ball into two.
A pair of white-blue eyes opened, revealing the profoundness of Heavy Sword.
She has woken up.
