Master Changsheng

Chapter 198, Section 195: Is he dying soon?

quiet!

Deathly silence!

After An Kai spoke, the representatives of many powerful forces felt death surrounding them.

It was as if, at any moment, they would be separated from their bodies!

An explosive aura surrounded them, making it suffocating and oppressive!

"Wayne, did you see that?"

"This is the right way to communicate."

"I told you long ago that yours wouldn't work."

"To deal with these bastards, you have to be stronger than them, otherwise they'll take advantage of you."

"Wayne, remember this: we're robbers, and robbers should act like robbers. Don't try to reason with them!"

Ankai stood before these powerful figures, completely disregarding their emotions, and imparted truly useful social skills to Wayne.

The representatives of the major powers present, despite their strength being only at the seventh level.

However, any one of them who goes out into the world, with the support of the forces behind them, is a person who can shake the world with a stomp of their foot.

Wherever you go, even if it's just a vanity project, you'll be treated with great hospitality.

however…

They encountered Ankai.

"A tyrannical and unreasonable villain."

That's right, this is the label that the representatives of the major powers are attaching to Ankai right now.

Only through comparison can one realize how kind and understanding Wayne was just now…

Sweat soaked his forehead.

The representatives of the major powers had beads of sweat covering their foreheads.

"Did you remember everything I just said?"

An Kai took out the [Brute Force Staff], weighed it in his hand, and looked like he was ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

Representatives from the four major human associations, elves, dragons, and orcs nodded hastily.

If An Kaiwei hadn't suppressed them, they probably would have cried out in surprise as their own response.

"How mean."

An Kai casually made a sarcastic remark.

With a swift movement, he sat back down in his seat.

He waved his hand and said, "Get lost. Tell your master that if you want to enter the [Secret Realm], bring money and come find me."

As the oppressive aura dissipated, the representatives of the major powers in the arena breathed a sigh of relief and fled in panic before they could say much more.

That's right.

It's about escaping...

"Orc and dragon representatives, please wait a moment."

The two representatives of the faction, who were about to flee, froze in their tracks, then stopped abruptly under the gloating gazes of the other representatives…

...

A faint crack of a whip rang out…

Five minutes later.

Representatives of the orcs and the dragons appeared.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

With a thought, the black staff phantom on his forehead disappeared.

The figure soared into the air and flew back the way it came.

...

Inside the main hall.

An Kai smiled slightly.

Through this orc representative, he learned where the orc king was currently located.

It turns out that there is an underground city beneath the orc royal city.

It was also the orc royal family's last resort.

The method of entry is through the "remote teleportation array" left behind by the orc royal family.

The darkness under the lamp has allowed the orc royal family to play their cards perfectly.

The fact that the Orc King can now send out spies shows that he has already taken control of this underground city.

No wonder, when Ankai saw the side quests about the Orc King, they all described him as being in a dark environment.

It was thanks to this underground city that even though the Orcish Kingdom was occupied by the Long-lived race, the Orcish King still lived a very comfortable life.

Furthermore, they can occasionally rescue orcs in distress and capture long-lived species for research purposes…

but.

The Orc King's good days are coming to an end.

Ankai already knows his location, so how could he let the Orc King remain aloof forever...?

On that day, a message was sent out from the family of good people.

It is said that the Orc King did not disappear. After verification by the Orc King's eighth and twenty-eighth sons, it was found that there is an underground city beneath the Orc King's capital.

The Orc King is hiding there, but no information has been released about what he's doing there.

This is also Ankai's intention, always leaving enough room for imagination.

Most people, especially those with strong abilities, are only willing to believe the answers they reason out themselves. The answers you publish will not only fail to convince them, but will also fail to convince them.

It will also make them suspicious.

So Ankai didn't say anything, only that the Orc King was hiding somewhere, and left the rest to the reader to guess.

A ninth-tier orc king, who actively went into hiding and even voluntarily relinquished his territory, who would believe he had no ulterior motives?

The Elf Queen was the first to disbelieve it.

She had a vague feeling that the Orc King might be plotting against her Elf race!

She had evidence, and it wasn't just baseless speculation.

She knew perfectly well that the Orc King, that bastard, kept many Elven concubines.

Even in such a hasty escape, the Orc King chose to take his elven concubines with him…

Furthermore, there were still conflicts between her and the Orc King when he disappeared!

At this moment, the Elf Queen felt that the [Secret Realm] held by the House of Goodness was not that important.

He immediately ordered his men to infiltrate the orc kingdom and find the orc king's hiding place!

As for the [secret realm] controlled by the bandits of the Good Family in the Chaos Sea, there's no rush to go there.

Let the other innocent ones scout ahead for the elves first…

...

Orc Kingdom.

Orc Royal City.

Today, there are five ninth-tier immortal beings among the immortal race, plus five ninth-tier beastmen immortal beings.

They stood above the orcish capital.

Awaiting the results of the excavation of the immortal species below…

The news from the "House of Goodness" also reached the ears of the Long-lived race.

Regardless of whether the news is true or false, a hidden ninth-tier orc is someone they should be on high alert for.

The five ancient orcs, in particular, were the most enthusiastic about this matter.

They were afraid that the Orc King might be able to turn the tide.

For those who defected to the orcish camp, the most sensitive issue was that the orcs had a chance to turn the tide.

...

Below the imperial city.

The orc king had one arm around the elven concubine while glancing down at his stubborn subordinates.

He was also the orc representative who went to the House of Goodness.

The Orc King had been tormenting him for a day and a night.

This guy stubbornly refused to reveal who ordered him to do this…

Their mouths are harder than the bones of orcs.

"Huh? Is it about to die?"

Suddenly, the dying orc representative spoke up abruptly.

He raised his head, his face showing no sign of impending death.

Instead, with a calm expression, the orc representative looked at the orc king, who was embracing the elven concubine and had suddenly sat up straight, and slowly spoke:

"What a ruthless orc king! Is this how he treats his own subordinates?"

"Alas, if this gets out, I wonder how many orcs will be disheartened."

"By the way, your eighth prince and twenty-eighth prince both said they miss you and asked me to ask when you will die so they can inherit your estate."

"But don't worry, with me here, I will definitely not let the two brothers fight over your inheritance."

The orc representative muttered to himself, blood gushing from his mouth as he spoke…

Despite being severely injured and on the verge of death, he spoke in a relaxed tone, as if he were unaware of his serious injury.

"【Beast Taming】?"

"No, your strength hasn't truly reached the eighth rank..."

"It seems this is a secret technique passed down from the Divine Court?"

The Orc King frowned and, through the Orc representative, began his first communication with Ankai…

"Hey! I'm not telling you!"

"Keep guessing!"

The orc representative gave a mocking chuckle.

Then the sound abruptly stopped…

Blood was flowing from the face...

Until he collapsed and couldn't get up.

His legs twitched violently a few times, then he fell silent…

The Orc King stood up, closed his eyes in deep thought, and tried to detect the aura that Ankai was controlling in relation to the Orc representative…

"Can't find it?!"

"strangeness!"

Just then, a violent roar suddenly came from above where the Orc King was...

"You bastards, if I'd known you two would betray me, I would have thrown you against the wall!"

...

For Ankai, the Orc King was just a minor incident.

In any case, the two sides will not reach a cooperation agreement.

They'll try to scam as much as they can.

At this point, there's no point in continuing to hide.

Chaos Sea, Good Man Island, and Good House have long been thorns in the side of those forces.

This is why Ankai announced the secret realm but charged such a high price.

Because he knew that these forces were destined not to be his colleagues.

After the powerful figures departed, through a side quest, Ankai learned that they had made a so-called "gentleman's agreement," which stipulated that no one was allowed to pay money to use the Good House's "Secret Realm"...

"A gentleman's agreement" is commonly known as a verbal agreement.

Whether or not to comply is entirely up to the individual.

Coincidentally, Ankai also learned from the side quest that the Wilderness Noble Management Association has been having a lot of trouble lately.

Because the immortal race escaped from the orc kingdom, they were the first force they faced.

The other two associations in the wasteland, as well as the four major human associations, verbally expressed their support, but their actual actions were very perfunctory.

The personnel sent were useful in resisting the immortal species, but there weren't many of them.

At this time.

If they could add one or two more Rank 8 professionals, the current pressure would be greatly alleviated.

The Good House [Secret Realm] is located in a place where they are among the forces with the most urgent needs.

Due to the "gentleman's agreement" between the four major human associations and the alien races and dragons, they could not openly choose to agree...

After much deliberation, the Wilderness Noble Management Association still couldn't find a good solution.

Faced with this situation, Ankai immediately came up with a solution.

He dispatched Hanks to the Wasteland Noble Management Association to lobby them…

In total, Hanks spent 10 days on the trip!

On the eleventh day, Hanks returned!

They also brought two members of the Seventh Tier Ten Wilderness Noble Management Association.

And two high-grade magic stones!

Ankai was very satisfied with Hanks' efficiency!

With a wave of his hand, he decided to expand the size of Hanks' house and promised to fulfill one of Hanks' wishes.

On this day, Anka specially invited a group of spies from outside the Chaos Sea.

Let them witness the power of the [Secret Realm] firsthand!

Two seventh-tier, tenth-level professionals, completely covered up, not even their eyes showing, stood under the watchful eyes of many.

Enter the [Forging Secret Realm] and the [Body Strengthening Secret Realm] respectively...

Five days passed in the blink of an eye!

When they reappeared, the two seventh-tier level ten practitioners had become eighth-tier level one practitioners!

The scene left the many onlookers speechless...

Advancement from seventh rank to eighth rank!

It's equivalent to a serpent transforming into a dragon!

Soaring into the sky!

The seventh rank consists of the backbone and management personnel of major powers.

So, the eighth rank...

They will become the true top figures in this powerful force!

They can enjoy the privilege of being supported by an entire faction!

The [Secret Realm] is real!

The effect is real!

On this day, the function of the [Secret Realm] was once again brought to the forefront of the major powers' agendas!

However, no one noticed that the two professionals who had advanced to the eighth rank were taken to the Lord's castle of the House of Goodness to sign a confidential contract regarding what lay within the [Secret Realm]...

After the return of two eighth-tier professionals to the Wasteland Management Association.

He led the Wilderness Management Association to change the situation from the past.

They managed to stop the onslaught of the immortal species!

However, the Long-lived Species found that entering through the Wilderness Management Association was too costly in terms of energy and manpower, and the returns were only so-so.

So we changed direction and chose to enter from the direction of the Wasteland Mage Association...

...

A virtuous family.

Ankai Castle.

Ten days have passed since the two members of the Wilderness Noble Management Association were promoted from the seventh-tier level ten to the eighth tier.

A month has passed since his last promotion.

The fusion of the Divine Court Secret Realm with Good Man Island was unexpected by An Kai.

However, he did achieve his goal.

After eight levels of astrologers searched day and night.

Finally, he found a high-grade magic stone. In addition, with the two stones donated by the Wilderness Noble Management Association, which emptied its coffers, and the one donated by the Wilderness Mage Association, Ankai now possesses a total of four high-grade magic stones.

Of the four high-grade magic stones, Ankai has used three so far.

The levels of [Meditation Technique 'Elements, Starry Sky'], [Elemental Ice Armor], and [Wind and Fire Blast] were increased again.

All have reached [Lv52]!

【法术Lv52『极品-』『天地六阶』『6000/6000（5000下品+1000中品）』：『冥想法『元素、星空』』、『元素冰甲』、『风火爆』】

[Meditation] After the upgrade, [High Concentration] has increased by 10 seconds, reaching a total of 1 minute and 10 seconds!

Don't underestimate those 10 seconds; there's a lot you can do in that time.

Hanks knows a lot about this.

In addition, the time required to passively gain attribute points has been reduced from five hours to four hours and 50 minutes.

一心两用时间增加20分钟，达到4小时20分钟；【法术禁制】範围，也从200米提升为300米！

An Kai originally aimed for improvement in [High Concentration], but unexpectedly, the other improvements were also quite good.

However, the [Starry Sky Meditation Method] and [Elemental Meditation Method] offer only moderate improvement.

However, upon further reflection, Ankai considered the two of them as bonuses for his [Meditation] enhancement, and he felt much better.

The most direct improvement from the two meditation methods is that the excess energy absorbed from heaven and earth is converted into "medium-grade energy stones" each day, increasing the number from three to four per day.

With the two spells combined, eight mid-grade energy stones will be credited to your account daily.

Equivalent to eight [medium-grade skill points].

This is a huge improvement compared to the meditation method "Elements, Stars".

The [Elemental Ice Armor] and [Wind and Fire] look rather rudimentary.

The [Elemental Ice Armor] has been upgraded to [Lv52], which can also be described as the [Magic Armor] being upgraded to [Lv52].

With the [Magic Armor] effect active, the range of [Freeze] increases from [1200] meters to [1700] meters after the upgrade, and the defensive power of [Elemental Defense] increases from 1x to 1.1x, both of which will be absorbed by [Magic Armor].

It exists around the body, increasing from a range of only 10 meters at [Lv51] to 11 meters!

The height of the armor has also been increased from five meters to six meters!

Just standing there, his sheer presence alone is enough to instill fear in people…

"My lord, the people from the Wilderness Mage Association have come out, but they..."

At that moment, Wayne's voice echoed in Ankai's mind.
