I'm crazy spoilers in the dimensional chat group

Chapter 522 Even monkeys are one-trick pony.
Li Yu pondered this phenomenon for a long time before finding matching information in a recently released animated film.

Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World.

Legend has it that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gave birth to a Hunyuan Pearl with enormous energy. Because it devoured everything indiscriminately, whether it was spiritual energy or demonic energy, it swallowed it all.

Therefore, the Primordial Celestial Venerable refined the Chaos Pearl into the Spirit Pearl and the Demon Pill. The Spirit Pearl was reincarnated as a human and could be of great use in assisting the Zhou dynasty in its conquest of the Shang dynasty.

The Demon Orb was cursed by the Celestial Venerable with a Heavenly Tribulation Curse, which would be followed by heavenly lightning in three years to destroy it.

Taiyi was ordered to reincarnate the Spirit Pearl into Nezha, the son of Li Jing in Chentang Pass.

However, due to Shen Gongbao's jealousy, he switched the Spirit Pearl and the Demon Orb.

Nezha, who should have been a hero of the Spirit Pearl, became the reincarnation of the Demon Pearl. Therefore, after Nezha was born, Li Jing went to the Heavenly Realm with Taiyi Zhenren to find Taiyi Zhenren.

As the saying goes, a day in heaven is a year on earth. In the heavenly realm, Li Jing waited for three days but did not see Taiyi Zhenren. However, nearly three years passed on the mortal realm.

This is the only intelligence Li Yu could find that fits the current situation.

Li Yu thought and thought, but couldn't find any other works that fit the current situation.

In response, Li Yu decided to go directly to the General's Mansion to find out everything.

Li Yu easily found the General's Mansion through his senses.

Looking at the city lord's mansion surrounded by a barrier, Li Yu smiled slightly. Such a barrier was utterly useless to him. (Minister of Justice: Ah! Who's been badmouthing the princess (me) behind my back?!)
However, after seeing the two barrier beasts that looked just like bronze statues, Li Yu was now 100% certain that this was the world of the demon child's birth.

Instead of going through the main gate, Li Yu went around to the back gate of the General's Mansion and then walked directly into the barrier, as if passing through a water curtain.

Upon arriving at the backyard of the General's Mansion, Li Yu heard a booming sound coming from inside.

Li Yu jumped onto the wall and looked out. He saw a little boy playing shuttlecock with a woman in the courtyard.

This child had bangs on his forehead, a double bun hairstyle on his head, and two big panda eyes, which always reminded Li Yu of Gaara, the little panda.

Despite his heavy eye makeup and slightly frightening rows of buck teeth, he was laughing very happily while playing with the woman, and overall he even looked a little bit cute.

There is a red mark on the middle of the little boy's forehead, representing one of the two yin and yang symbols of fire.

Wearing a gleaming gold collar (Qiankun Ring) around his neck, a red vest with lotus patterns, brown capri pants with flame patterns, and a yellow belt, he looked every bit the mischievous kid.

Barefoot, with an excited smile on his face, he kicked the shuttlecock away with a loud thud.

With that kick, the shuttlecock actually made a popping sound in the air.

Upon seeing this, Li Yu instantly confirmed the identity of the mischievous child below—it was indeed Nezha from the movie *Ne Zha*.

The woman playing shuttlecock with him was his mother, Lady Yin, the wife of General Li Jing.

Faced with Nezha's fierce kick, a barely perceptible hint of panic flashed across Lady Yin's face.

Then, he immediately held his breath, focused on the direction from which the shuttlecock was flying, and kicked it back with a thud.

"Well done!"

Nezha shouted happily, then kicked the shuttlecock back swiftly once more.

With a whoosh, the shuttlecock was in front of Madam Yin in the blink of an eye.

Li Yu, watching from the city wall, couldn't help but laugh. Was this some kind of game of shuttlecock kicking?
If you didn't know that the two people below are mother and son, you would think they had a deep-seated hatred between them.

The speed at which that shuttlecock flies back and forth is so great that if it hits an ordinary person, it can instantly smash their internal organs to pieces.

It was only thanks to Lady Yin's high level of martial arts skills that she was able to pull off such a feat with Nezha.

This reminded Li Yu of the shuttlecock kicking competition that Eileen and her friends had held, where the shuttlecocks were accelerated to the force of a meteorite hitting the Earth.

Compared to that, this is nothing.

However, after all, Madam Yin was still only human. In a moment of carelessness, she failed to catch the shuttlecock, which hit her lower abdomen and knocked her into the wall.

"Ah! Mother! Are you alright?!"

When Nezha saw that his mother had been smashed into the wall, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed and uneasy.

He didn't do it on purpose; it's just that his innate extraordinary abilities often prevented him from controlling his own power.

His mother is usually busy with work and rarely plays with him, so in her excitement she forgot to hold back.

"I'm fine!"

Madam Yin suddenly ripped herself out of the wall: "I promised Nezha I'd play shuttlecock with you today, and I'll keep my word! Let's continue!"

After coughing lightly twice, Madam Yin stubbornly said that although the blow had not had much of an impact, it had still made her breathing disordered. However, seeing the happy smile on her son's face, Madam Yin couldn't bring herself to say anything to end the conversation.

Because she is usually busy with work and rarely pays attention to her son, and also because she knows about the Demon Orb and the Heavenly Tribulation Curse, she always feels like she owes Nezha something.

I finally have some time today and I really want to play with my son to my heart's content, but life... is always full of disappointments.

"Reporting to Madam!"

"A monster has appeared!?"

Madam Yin's expression changed!
"This……"

A monster has appeared near Chen Tang Pass, and she has to deal with it. However, she just promised Nezha she would accompany him, and if she went back on her word, her credibility as a mother would probably plummet... although it wasn't much to begin with...

"Fine, fine, go ahead~" Seeing Lady Yin's predicament, Nezha immediately put on a disgusted expression, waved his hand and said, "Anyway, there's no point in playing with you, and besides, I'm already used to this kind of thing..."

“Nezha…” Madam Yin looked at Nezha with a sad expression. As a mother, she was indeed unqualified. She was always busy with work and hadn’t even played a complete game of shuttlecock with Nezha in the past three years.

"Wait for your mother, I'll definitely play with you again when I get back!" Madam Yin said this, and immediately set off with her entourage.

During the days when Li Jing was away from Chentang Pass, as the wife of the general, she had to take responsibility for the safety of all the people in the city.

Once outside, Madam Yin instructed the barrier beast to guard the barrier and make sure Nezha didn't get out. Then she immediately set off with her people.

On the day Nezha was born, thanks to the big mouth of the fat and big-eared Taiyi Zhenren, the whole city knew that Nezha was the reincarnation of the Demon Orb.

Therefore, Nezha has never been popular with the people and has always been regarded as a monster.

Nezha is not a good-tempered person either, so he often causes trouble for the people in the city by relying on his innate supernatural powers, showing the demeanor of a naughty child.

However, given the dedication and hard work that Li Jing and his wife had done for the people of Chentang Pass, the people were reluctant to do anything to Nezha. So, they came up with this plan to trap the Li family mansion with a barrier beast, thus restricting Nezha's activities to the courtyard of the Li family mansion.

"Sigh~" After Madam Yin left, the disdainful expression on Nezha's face instantly relaxed.

After sighing, Nezha snorted again and then kicked a small pebble away.

"Oh dear~ Whose brat is throwing a tantrum here? He was just looking so unwilling a moment ago~"

When Li Yu saw Nezha venting his dissatisfaction, he felt a pang of pity. To be honest, Nezha hadn't done anything wrong. He was born to be disliked by those around him, which was incredibly unfair to him.

So when Li Yu saw Nezha's lonely figure, he couldn't help but speak to him.

"Who are you!? How did you get in here? And! My business is none of your concern!" Nezha was stunned when he saw Li Yu, and then questioned the guy who suddenly appeared. But when did this guy appear? Nezha frowned as he looked at Li Yu. He hadn't noticed Li Yu's presence at all.

"Me? I'm just someone passing by. You can call me Li Yu."

"As for how I got here? Well, I walked in openly and honestly, of course! This mere barrier is practically useless against me!" (Osakabe-hime: You said it twice! You said it twice!!!)
"Hmph~ It's not something a good person would do to just barge into someone else's house."

After hearing Li Yu's words, Nezha put his hands in his pockets and said to Li Yu with a disdainful look.

"Don't be so formal~" Li Yu waved his hand with a smile, "I'm just here to keep you company because I saw you were lonely~"

"Play with me!?" Nezha's face lit up with surprise, then his expression turned fierce as he said, "Are you sure you're not talking nonsense? I'm a reincarnated demon, aren't you afraid of me??"

"Why should I be afraid of you? I don't see what kind of monster you are reincarnated from."

"Besides, even if you are the reincarnation of a demon, you are still a reincarnation, right? Aren't you human now?"

Li Yu said with a smile, "Right? Weren't you the child that lady just gave birth to?"

"Of course I was born of my mother!"

Nezha immediately said.

"Isn't that settled? A person's past cannot be changed, but the future is something they have to create themselves."

Just because others say you're a monster doesn't mean you are. Ultimately, you have to take control of your own life.

Li Yu smiled and said to Nezha.

"Hmph~ You're good at talking~" Nezha turned his head and muttered arrogantly.

What are you muttering about?

Li Yu called out to Nezha, then lifted his foot, and the shuttlecock he had just used was lifted up by Li Yu.

Then with a gentle kick, the shuttlecock instantly flew towards Nezha.

Li Yu had wanted to try it out for a long time after seeing Eileen and the others play it like that in the chat group.

This time, I'll just play shuttlecock with Nezha.

"Well done!"

Nezha grinned, then jumped up and kicked hard in mid-air, sending the shuttlecock flying back at an even faster speed.

"You little rascal, how can you kick a shuttlecock with such force?"

Li Yu said with a smile, then lifted his leg and kicked the shuttlecock back with a thud.

"You are still the same!"

After replying, Nezha kicked the shuttlecock back again.

And so, the poor shuttlecock endured the torment of these two inhuman beings for a full hour! Then, finally, it couldn't take it anymore and collapsed with a crash. Alas, the poor shuttlecock bore pressure that a shuttlecock of its age should not have to endure.

"It's broken..." A look of disappointment flashed across Nezha's face when he saw the broken shuttlecock.

"It's okay~ I'll get a sturdier one next time~" Li Yu took out two cans of chilled soda and tossed one to Nezha.

"So there's a next time!" A look of surprise flashed across Nezha's face. No one had ever played with him like this before. When he heard Li Yu say there would be a next time, Nezha's reluctance vanished instantly.

Then Nezha was drawn to the soda can in his hand: "What's this? Ouch~ It's so cold~"

"This is called 'fat otaku's happy water'~"

Li Yu taught Nezha how to open it.

"Glug~" Nezha imitated Li Yu and tried a sip: "The taste is weird, but it's quite sweet~ It's so refreshing to drink it ice-cold, mmm~"

After taking a sip, Nezha drank half the can in one go.

"Hiccup... Ugh!"

After Nezha drank half a can, he couldn't help but let out a loud burp.

Then he immediately covered his mouth, and his amusing appearance made Li Yu laugh.

"Hey! What's so funny!" Nezha glared at Li Yu and said, "If you keep laughing, I'll hit you!"

"Hahaha~ You little brat can't beat me~" Li Yu laughed unrestrainedly, while measuring Nezha's height with his hand.

"Hmph! Don't underestimate me!" Nezha stomped his foot and pointed at Li Yu, saying, "I'm born with superhuman strength! Even their officers are no match for me!"

"So what if you're born with superhuman strength?" Li Yu glanced sideways at Nezha. "My abilities will scare you to death!"

"I do not believe!"

"Heh~ Listen up~ I have an indestructible body~ My body is as hard as black iron and I have fiery eyes. I can see through any monster in front of me at a glance, and there is nowhere for it to hide. I can somersault 108,000 miles in one go. I also know the seventy-two transformations of the earthly demons, and I can transform into a giant. Not only that, I can also fly and escape into the earth!"

"So, are you convinced or not?"

Li Yu raised an eyebrow at Nezha and said smugly.

"Seventy-two Transformations of the Earthly Fiends?? What are those?"

Nezha had been listening to Li Yu talk about the Seventy-Two Transformations of Earthly Fiends, but he didn't know what it was. It just sounded really powerful.

"These seventy-two transformations of the Earthly Fiends are also called the seventy-two arts of the Earthly Fiends. They are: communicating with the spirits, driving away spirits, carrying mountains, blocking water, borrowing wind, spreading fog, praying for clear skies, praying for rain, sitting on fire, entering water, concealing the sun, riding the wind, boiling stones, spitting flames, swallowing knives, pot-shaped heaven, divine speed, walking on water, staff disintegration, splitting bodies, invisibility, head regeneration, body immobilization, slaying demons, inviting immortals, chasing souls, capturing souls, summoning clouds, taking the moon, transporting, marrying dreams, dismembering, entrusting staffs, stopping flow, averting disasters, resolving calamities, alchemy, swordsmanship, guessing riddles, earth element, astrology, setting up formations, deception, spraying transformation, finger transformation, corpse disintegration, shifting scenery, summoning, chasing away, gathering beasts, taming birds, qi restriction, great strength, penetrating stone, generating light, obscuring vision, guiding, ingesting food, opening walls, leaping over rocks, sprouting heads, climbing and copying, drinking water, lying in snow, scorching the sun, playing with balls, talisman water, medicine, knowing the time, knowing the place, abstaining from grains, and nightmare prayer."

Li Yu listed seventy-two kinds of magic for Nezha in one go.

Nezha, who was listening, was dumbfounded.

The most famous user of the Seventy-Two Transformations of Earthly Fiends is none other than the renowned Monkey King, Sun Wukong.

Even Sun Wukong's mastery of these seventy-two spells varied greatly. The others were fine, but his water-based spells were far inferior to the others.

For example, the most famous instance of this immobilization spell in "Havoc in Heaven" is when the seven fairy maidens were immobilized in the Peach Garden, and then this silly girl went to steal wine to drink...

He froze the seven fairies, who then went off to steal wine and drink it...

Damn... Only a monkey would do something like this!

Another technique is illusion, which is his most famous transformation technique. He also frequently uses the technique of creating clones.

And then there's the art of sheer strength. Don't forget, this monkey wielded the 13,500-pound magic needle like it was a plastic tube.

Medicine, not to mention talisman water, this guy can even diagnose wood within wood by suspending a thread to diagnose pulse.

His ability to communicate with the underworld made going to the underworld as easy as playing around. Not to mention summoning gods and immortals, he could command gods and local deities at will. The only problem was that he hadn't mastered the skill of carrying mountains, otherwise he wouldn't have been suppressed by the mountain peak brought by Laozi's attendant.

Ultimately, even monkeys are only good at one thing and have an edge in another.
