Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 228 Golden Scroll Fish Gill General
Even so, the chances of winning are still not high.

After all, the opponent possessed an eight-star gold scroll, along with level seven spiritual power, and an extremely high level of soul resonance and cultivation.

Even if [Fish Gill General] is a perfect match for the job, he might not be able to win him over.

"Senior, please enlighten me!"

Wu Xian took a deep breath, and with a slight thought, the Golden Scroll Fish Gill General appeared beside him.

It has the body of a fish and the shape of a human, holding an iron hammer. Its body is covered with fine, dark blue scales, huge gill fins cover both sides of its head, its eyes are red, its face is fierce, and its expression is majestic.

Fish Gills General was once a capable general under the East Sea and was deeply loved by the sea creatures.

Long ago, when a certain "demon child" was causing trouble in the sea, he tragically sacrificed himself to protect the aquatic people. In the end, during the worship and mourning of the aquatic spirits, his soul was taken in by the underworld and became the demon messenger in charge of the souls of the aquatic people.

As for why they couldn't beat that "demon child" from back then, all I can say is: you'd be cannon fodder too.

The only one to blame is that the demon child back then was overpowered, with a powerful background, and was not on the same level as us lowly gods.

【Fish Gill Commander】

Version: Original (with gold embroidered border)

Grade: Gold Axis

Painting Spirit: ★★★★★★★
Spirituality: 108
Talent Traits: Dark Sea Wanderer, Soul-Shattering Hammer, Netherworld Sea
As mentioned before, once a scroll is upgraded to a gold scroll, it will awaken some powerful talent traits or undergo a qualitative change in its talent traits.

The [Netherworld Sea] is the new power that Fish Gills gained after ascending to the Golden Scroll.

"Huh~ Is it also an Ocean-themed Gold Scroll?" Guo Lianfei was slightly surprised before glancing at the player information above Wu Xian's head. "Underworld Club? That sounds familiar."

I remember now, that new club that's been making headlines lately?
I've heard your club has a very talented veteran player, highly regarded by the older generation. I wonder how much of his former glory he still possesses today?

Guo Lianfei's words were tinged with mockery, clearly showing his disdain for the "return of the king" craze that Xue Zhengying had previously sparked.

In fact, this is the view of today's top star athletes.

The top players are still quite unhappy about losing some endorsements and commercial deals.

It's important to understand that times are changing, and each generation of scrolls is getting stronger. Many gold scrolls from over a decade ago are no longer effective in today's Gold Rank League.

Only the older generation still has some sentimentality.

The invincible player who once dominated the Tianfeng Provincial League?

Two words: I want to laugh!

Wu Xian frowned as he listened; the other person's utter lack of "respect" and tone sounded quite grating to him.

After all, he is now considered one of the second brother's "young new fans".

"Tsk~ Only level four spiritual power. Although it looks like it's almost level five, controlling the Seven Star Golden Scroll must be quite difficult, right?" Guo Lianfei teased.

"Didn't you say we should finish this quickly?" Wu Xian asked, frowning.

Upon hearing this, Guo Lianfei was slightly taken aback. "Oh, it seems you have a lot of respect for that senior player in your club? But it's okay, you'll soon find out the gap between him and us current top players."

Amidst the banter, the giant squid above suddenly unleashed its power, instantly enveloping the entire Hero Island in a strong marine atmosphere.

Wu Xian took a deep breath and responded solemnly.

Beside him, the Golden Scroll Fish Gill Commander also displayed his power, and with the multiple bonds of the [Ten Great Yin Commanders] divine diagram, he showed the powerful oppressive feeling of the aquatic demon envoy.

"A combination of necromancy and ocean magic?" Guo Lianfei thought to himself with surprise, "That's quite novel!"

"Unfortunately, in front of my deep-sea king squid, you are nothing more than a delicious meal."

Although he looked down on newcomers like Wu Xian, he was still very interested in the Seven-Star Golden Scroll of the same element.

After consuming it, it should provide significant nourishment and enhancement to the giant squid.

However, as the two sets of golden scrolls began to clash, Guo Lianfei sensed something was amiss. "Hiss~ It's just a Seven-Star Golden Scroll, and it doesn't seem to have much training. Is its foundation really that good?"

Based on his years of league experience, he quickly made a general assessment of the five dimensions of Fish Gills.

After a brief exchange, he was startled again. "What? It can actually affect the soul of the ocean-themed scroll?"

That seemingly ordinary hammer attack also seemed to carry a hint of mental attack, making his giant squid extremely uncomfortable.

"Hiss~ I underestimated you!"

Guo Lianfei's expression gradually turned serious, feeling that the idea of ​​combining ocean-based and undead elements seemed quite promising.

I'll bring this up with the president later; it might help promote the development of their Deep Sea Club.

"Kid, have you ever experienced the baptism of the waves?"

Guo Lianfei smiled confidently, and instantly a huge wave swept across the field. The giant squid, like the overlord of the sea, floated on the surging waves, its tentacles stretching out to surround Wu Xian and the Fish Gill Commander.

Protected by the aura of wealth, Wu Xian stood firm amidst the surging waves.

"Oh~ you can still stand up?"

Guo Lianfei was surprised again. After all, when facing new contestants in the past, as long as this move was used, the opposing spirit master would be eliminated by the merciless waves.

However, just when he was confident of victory, the Fish Gill Commander in the waves suddenly unleashed an astonishing aura of death.

The entire arena suddenly darkened, and the waves released by the giant squid became illusory and blurry.

Wow…

Dark, ethereal waves appeared on the field, and Guo Lianfei felt as if he had fallen into a terrifying deep sea, experiencing a suffocating sensation from the depths of his soul.

Not only him, but also the Golden Squid seems to be under some kind of pressure on a spiritual level.

Struggling to get rid of Commander Fish Gills first.

Unfortunately, just as its tentacles reached out to attack, the Fish Gill Commander, wielding a giant hammer, transformed into a ferocious and terrifying undead fish, moving like a ghost through the dark and empty waves.

boom!
The ghostly fish pierced through the giant squid's body. It seemed like a small movement, but it put the giant squid into a brief state of daze.

"what?!"

Guo Lianfei felt a chill run down his spine, clearly sensing that the giant squid had suffered a massive psychological attack.

Just as he was in shock, a golden scroll of divine light appeared again on Wu Xian's side.

The powerful Zhen Shui Xing Jun, one of the five stars of the Golden Scroll, makes a grand entrance, transforming into a swirling torrent of turbid water that envelops the giant squid from all directions.

The giant squid was instantly enveloped in a layer of murky, toxic water, and its body was rapidly corroded and rotted.

Realizing something was wrong, Guo Lianfei instinctively wanted to release other gold scrolls to join the battle.

However, he found that his body was entangled by wandering ghosts, making it difficult to move, and he fell into a dazed state.

It is the [Day Wanderer] after being promoted to the Gold Scroll.

When he regained consciousness, the giant squid had already been pierced through by a cool humanoid machine with a single sword strike.

"No, with so many gold scrolls, where did he get so much spiritual power?"

Before he could figure out what was going on, the giant humanoid machine appeared out of thin air in front of him and swept him away with a single sword strike.

The player was immediately locked in by the arena instance and eliminated from the arena.

The giant squid, in its near-death state, also disappeared from the competition field.

"It's a pity we didn't kill that giant squid!"

Wu Xian felt a pang of regret. He had exhausted his spiritual power while controlling so many gold scrolls, and he had only managed to survive until the end by converting wealth into energy.

Even so, they only managed to eliminate their opponent by taking advantage of their carelessness.

If Guo Lianfei were to release a second gold medal, there would be no way they could win this match.
