Master Changsheng

Chapter 173, Section 170: One Year Later

"I think I can serve as the interim president of our faction. I come from the Development and Management Association and have experience..."

"Experience my foot! Who here doesn't have experience?"

"In my opinion, it should be a contest of strength. Whoever is stronger should take the position!"

"Compete, compete! All you know is strength, are you a barbarian?"

A small boat, about 100 meters long and seemingly ordinary, is the temporary gathering place for the combined forces led by the three major associations in the wasteland.

At this moment, on the top of the cabin, they were arguing fiercely about who should be the leader of this combined force.

"Oh no! The orc's ten-thousand-meter-long giant wheel has started moving!"

"It moved? What's the panic? It's not coming for us!"

"No, this giant ship is heading straight for us!"

"Hmm? Maybe it's just a coincidence..."

Rumble!

The cacophony of the massive, 10,000-meter-long ship traveling along its course reached the combined forces...

Ignoring the arguing, these people rushed out of the cabin...

They saw the orcs' colossal ship, ten thousand meters long, parked not far from them!

He looked up at the orcish giant ship armored squad.

Those with exceptional eyesight spotted an orc on the orc deck wielding a large black club, grinning maliciously at them.

Before they could react!

The space was suddenly enveloped in darkness!

Suddenly, thunder roared!

"You scum, you think you can avoid paying?!"

"Did you even ask me?!"

boom!

A bolt of lightning, 10 meters in diameter and entirely black, fell from the sky in an instant!

In Ankai, a dimly lit space blessed by the [Mage Domain], the people of the three major associations in the desolate region who wanted to resist were simply delusional.

After being enhanced by his own multiple abilities, Ankai's [Lightning Strike] was so powerful that even Teacher Aken, the vice president of the Mage Association, was no match for him!

The lightning struck, instantly crushing this makeshift force!

"What...what kind of magic is this?!"

"Orcs have such terrifying mages?!?"

"Damn it! We can't stop it!"

One bolt of jet-black lightning after another fell from the sky!

In an instant, this temporary organization that had been formed to resist the orcs vanished into thin air.

The thunder roared for a minute.

Ankai released a total of several hundred bolts of lightning.

The temporary organization was defeated as early as when more than a dozen bolts of lightning struck.

The remaining few hundred dollars were for two reasons: first, to relieve the pressure in An Kai's heart, and second, to warn the surrounding forces to pay the money honestly and not to think about anything else.

"Go, tie them up and bring them to me."

"Watch your strength. These guys are still on their last breath. Don't kill them. They have plenty of people willing to pay for their services."

To prevent these people from being struck to death, Anker deliberately controlled his strength.

These people are all top-tier sixth-order individuals from their respective factions.

It's not easy to train a sixth-tier character.

In exchange for some resources, the forces behind them are willing to pay this amount.

The orcish giant ship, ten thousand meters long, departed, taking with it the leaders of these medium-sized forces within the vast ocean of the Divine Court.

The scene, resembling a natural disaster, was deeply etched in the minds of every onlooker.

The thunderous roar lasted for a minute, and the top-tier orcish professionals' strength subdued them.

I thought only humans could produce powerful mages, but I never imagined that orcs, who have nothing to do with mages, could also have such powerful orcs!

However, after the initial shock, some observant people suddenly discovered something important.

"When that orc mage cast his spell, I didn't sense any power of heaven and earth!"

"He...he's not even at level six yet?!"

"Not only is he not a sixth-tier beastman, but he also cultivates both [Body Strengthening] and [Spirit Forging]!"

Are you sure?

"Of course, I have a [Wizard Observer] profession that specializes in observing energy fluctuations, and he's the one who told me about it."

"Oh? [The Observer]? That's a treasure!"

"Good luck, good luck~"

One stone caused a thousand waves.

The beastman who made the move was not a sixth-tier professional; he was a beastman who cultivated both [Body Strengthening] and [Spirit Forging], a fact known throughout the vast [Divine Court].

The fear that most people initially felt about the powerful orcs who had attacked them vanished.

This orc, relying on his good talent, actually pursued dual cultivation of [Body Strengthening] and [Spirit Forging]?

Without them having to intervene, this orc will eventually die from his inability to break through, dying in despair.

How many brilliant minds, dissatisfied with their own choices, chose to pursue both paths simultaneously? And what was the result?

They all faded into obscurity, existing only in records with a simple brief introduction:

"A talented fool who made the wrong choice."

...

This discovery brought a sigh of relief to many human factions.

Especially the human forces bordering the orc kingdom.

The appearance of a highly talented orc mage is not a good thing for them.

However, this arrogant orc mage chose to cultivate both physical strength and spiritual fortitude, which was indeed a good thing for them!

of course.

They will not give up because of this when they are putting pressure on them.

...

Orc Kingdom.

The Orc King is very annoyed lately.

Because he hasn't been quiet for even two days.

Suddenly, they came knocking on my door again.

This time, it's humans and other races working together.

They say that the orcs violate the rules, are arrogant, and so on.

At first, the orcs didn't understand why they were being praised.

It wasn't until he investigated further that he understood the whole story.

You won't know until you do, and you'll be shocked when you find out.

When did his little 8 become so brave?

It gave him the feeling that he was the enemy of the world.

Isn't that making enemies of the whole world? He's basically offended everyone he could.

In other words, the four top human powers, along with the most powerful alien races from the [Alien Alliance Conference], entered the [First Level of the Divine Court's Secret Realm]. Otherwise, the number of enemies they had offended would have increased even further…

After further investigation, the Orc King learned that the reason his Little Eight was so brave this time was because of a highly talented Orc mage under his command!

Despite not being a sixth-tier individual, he suppressed countless sixth-tier leaders of various forces!

For a time, they were the talk of the town!

Even the Orc King's mind was already as still as a deep well.

He slapped his thigh vigorously, shouting repeatedly, "Excellent! Excellent! Little Eight is my lucky charm!"

"A bunch of ants, so be it!"

"Father will decide for you!"

The Orc King even took the initiative to contact the Eighth Prince of the Orcs for the first time, saying that he had sent him a new batch of resources.

Encourage the Eighth Prince of the Orcs to persevere and conquer the [First Level of the Divine Court's Secret Realm] in one fell swoop!

However, the joy lasted only a day.

The Orc King received another message saying that their orc mage, who possessed exceptional talent, was a simpleton who pursued both physical and spiritual cultivation simultaneously.

The orc king was so angry at that moment that he almost couldn't breathe.

We've finally encountered a highly talented orc mage, and we're looking forward to seeing what he can achieve.

He was suddenly told this news that made him feel like he was going to faint?

Enraged, the Orc King contacted the Eighth Orc Prince, and his first words were:

"Are you fucking an idiot?!"

"Can I combine [Body Strengthening] and [Spirit Forging]?"

"You piece of trash!"

"Who taught you to train your subordinates like this?!"

The roar of the Orc King resounded in the ears of the Eighth Orc Prince.

The reason the Orc King was so furious was because he had already anticipated how those damned humans and other races would mock him…

...

"Your deadbeat father? He's going to give you resources again?"

Ankai turned his head to look at the eighth prince of the orcs on the giant ship that was ten thousand meters long.

"No, this old geezer suddenly started cursing at me for some reason."

The eighth prince of the orcs scratched the back of his head, not understanding why.

However, Ankai did know some of the reasons.

It's simply that his dual cultivation of "strengthening the body" and "forging the spirit" was exposed.

The information was exposed by a rare profession, the [Wizard] branch, the [Observer].

He only understood this today through the side quest.

No wonder those people outside are both afraid of and mocking me…

Of course, Ankai was not a kind person.

The observer had been captured and forced to sign a slave contract.

Every day, I would squat on the deck and observe the energy composition of the people coming and going.

And record it.

An Kai thought to himself, this guy doesn't like observing others, so he'll let him observe to his heart's content.

If there are no people, observe the air and the ocean.

In short, this guy can't be idle.

We must maintain observation status 24 hours a day!

In addition to observation, records must be kept, and Ankai will conduct random checks from time to time.

If there's any shoddy work or oversight, just wait, physical pain will be the least of your worries.

As someone who has signed a contract with Ankai, deceiving Ankai is as difficult as having a god appear and help him cheat.

Furthermore, this deity is even more powerful than the God of Law and the God of Contract.

"Have all the letters been sent out?"

"Sir, they've all been sent out!"

Ankai nodded.

Ankai sent a letter to the forces behind the guys he captured yesterday.

The letter contained only one message.

That means money.

He threatened to kill the hostage if they didn't pay.

Through the [contract] control, these guys cooperated very well with Ankai.

They were shouting something like, "They're going to die! Save them!"

It was as miserable as could be...

This infuriated these forces.

These orcs are absolutely outrageous.

Not only are they suppressing them, but now they're extorting them?!

Can't stand it!

...

Orc Kingdom.

The Orc King was once again awakened from his cultivation by his trusted confidant.

After some communication, the Orc King's brows furrowed into a deep frown.

A green face, full of confusion and frustration.

suddenly!

The Orc King's eyes widened!

"No...no way!"

"My 30-plus orcs have all fallen?!?"

The Orc King was shocked!

That's 30 million!

And it also has 30 orcs at the sixth tier!

Based on the Orc King's cautious nature and after repeated reflection, the information that has come in these past two days does not seem to be typical of his eighth brother's personality.

In particular, these forces, through their leaders within the Divine Court, have been using this power to blackmail and demand resources.

As the eighth prince of the orc kingdom, he would never lack resources.

There is no need, nor will there be, to continue humiliating those forces in this way.

And it was indiscriminate humiliation…

No, it's not indistinguishable.

Among the dwarves, his eighth prince was treated differently.

As early as yesterday, the dwarves were brutally murdered by the orcs in public. Apart from those who entered the [Divine Court Secret Realm], none of the remaining 10,000 dwarves escaped.

The Orc King became increasingly uneasy.

The more I think about it, the more terrifying it becomes!

As soon as the restrictions were lifted, more than 30 orcs fell.

He couldn't figure out what methods were used to control them!

Even the orcish restriction [Beast Taming] wouldn't have such a terrifying effect.

With this thought in mind, the Orc King had the idea of ​​forcibly destroying the [Divine Court] restriction, even if it meant suffering a backlash!

On second thought, he realized that someone of his strength would attract attention with every move he made.

Especially since he is the current Beastman Emperor, every move he makes will be magnified.

If he forcibly destroys the [Divine Court] restriction, he will suffer a backlash.

Without even a second thought, they would inevitably be hunted down by others.

That old woman from the Elf race might have acted even earlier than the humans!

"hateful!"

After much thought, the Orc King had no good solutions.

He tentatively gave the eighth prince of the orcs an order for the entire army to withdraw from the Divine Court...

As expected, his order went unanswered.

Then, he tentatively said to the eighth prince of the orcs, "I have prepared another batch of resources..."

"Father, send it here quickly, I can't hold on any longer!"

At this point, the Orc King confirmed one thing: the more than 30 orcs he sent over had benefited others.

Just like his 28th birthday celebration, and an avatar...

After pondering a solution for a full half day, the Orc King was somewhat helpless…

He suddenly realized that he couldn't solve this problem unless the restriction was removed!

resignedly.

The Orc King finally issued a new order.

"Sever all ties with the Eighth Prince and the Twenty-Eighth Prince of the Orcs!"

"The actions of those two individuals do not represent the actions of the orcs!"

...

The next day, Ankai saw this question in the [side quest].

He then realized that the Orc King had discovered the secret of the Eighth Orc Prince.

However, it wasn't a loss, as the orcs offered it voluntarily, and Ankai managed to trick the orc king into giving him four waves of resources through the orc prince.

There will be one more wave than the Eighth Prince of the Orcs predicted.

It's a bit of a shame that, judging from the Orc King's attitude, even if the restriction is lifted next time, he won't send any more orcs.

Inside the cabin of the orc ship, which stretched for ten thousand meters, An Kai pondered that if he had the chance, once he became powerful enough, he should visit the orc kingdom…

With [Beast Taming] around, he's sure to reap a huge harvest...

"Sir, that old bastard has severed all contact with me!"

The eighth prince of the orcs suddenly rushed over in a panic.

An Kai simply waved his hand dismissively: "He not only cut off contact, he also severed ties with you."

"Huh?" The eighth prince of the orcs was stunned. He never expected that the orc king would sever ties with him...

A look of resentment appeared on his face. He believed that the Orc King's actions had diminished his value in the eyes of the "gods"!

Standing in the cabin, the eighth prince, an orc who had just been abandoned by his father, spoke out in resentment:

"That old bastard deserves to die!"

As it happened, this scene was witnessed by the twenty-eighth prince of the orcs, Guleil, who came to report.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Don't laugh, you've been abandoned by your father too."

Gullier's laughter faltered...

Imitating the eighth prince of the orcs, he cried out in anger, "Old bastard! You deserve to die!"

Guler came to report on his achievements.

Ankai's previous actions have yielded results.

Some people learned that they could not force their way in.

He had no choice but to grit his teeth and hand over a mid-grade magic stone in an attempt to enter the [Divine Court Secret Realm]...

After all, some people with the strength to enter the Divine Court can afford to pay a mid-grade magic stone.

It's simply a matter of whether it hurts or not, or how much it hurts.

Because Ankai intervened, the orcs blocked the entrance to the [Divine Court Secret Realm], collected tolls, and successfully proceeded.

Skillful.

Through the [Contract], Ankai learned that the same thing happened in the [Divine Court Secret Realm].

That terrifyingly powerful and mysterious giant also blocked the entrance to the [Divine Court Secret Realm].

Judging from the situation, those who have entered will not be able to leave anytime soon.

And those who enter…

Ankai shook his head. Hanks was a real menace; because of him, so many people were implicated and punished.

He has decided to change his name from Hanks Kay to Will Kay, effective today.

It implies that he is a good person.

However, for some reason, that big guy didn't attack the person who entered.

Instead, they were kept in captivity, confined within the [Divine Court Secret Realm] and prevented from leaving.

Furthermore, Ankai also saw through Hanks that the bodies of those killed in the [Divine Court Secret Realm] had mysteriously disappeared.

...

Time passed.

one year later.

An Kai let out a soft sigh of relief, ending his training for the day.

Allocate attribute points to [Strength]

[Intelligence: 3281 (3000 + 281)]

Endurance: 3281 (3000 + 281)

[Stamina: 3281『3000+281』]

[Strength: 3281 (3000 + 281)]

[Strength: 65.62 (60.01 + 5.61)]

[Spirit Empowerment: 65.62 『60.00 + 5.62』]

In one year, a total of 1123 attribute points were gained, and the shackles of spell level were also broken.

Spell proficiency is uniformly raised to [Lv45], and the effects are improved to a certain extent.

Ankai's business proceeded smoothly throughout the year.

With the appearance of the [Divine Court Secret Realm], the "secret method of immortality" has once again become a topic of conversation among some factions.

Some, believing themselves to be "chosen ones," plunge headlong into the vast ocean of the Divine Court, intending to find the "secret to immortality" and become "immortals"...

Of course, his "kidnapping" operation is also underway.

With the cooperation of the kidnapped person, the credibility increases significantly.

Sometimes, if he's lucky, Ankai can ask for payment two or three times before he's discovered.

However, although his business was successful, his reputation was completely ruined...

He became a major villain in the eyes of many.

But that bastard Orc King kept playing dead, and when asked, he would only say one thing: "We've severed ties. That's not my son, it has nothing to do with me..."

Today is just like any other day.

Looking through the side quests, nothing significant happened.

Just as Ankai was preparing to rest for a day.

The Heart of Poseidon has suddenly appeared!

Inside the [Contract], Hanks' terrified voice rang out: "Ankai, save me! Something the hell has happened here!!!"

A fierce force of heaven and earth suddenly appeared!

They converge in the sky, forming a phantom!

Lock onto the Heart of the Sea God in front of Ankai!
