Chapter 240 - - 238 You are in great danger now_1

—————✧✧✧✧—————

After a day of hard toil, the bandit Duge reaped a rich harvest.

To nobly forgive enemies, to treat their wounds, to provide them with opportunities for labor, to plunder the fruits of their labor…

Duge was practicing his two key words every moment, seizing every chance for growth.

He had imbued his sword with “firmness,” “sharpness,” and “speed,” making it invincible and as swift as lightning.

As for the words like “agility,” “strength,” and “wisdom” that Dan Cong had written down, Duge didn’t use them on himself, but rather on Chen Da.

Duge had his principles; he wouldn’t touch the skills of other warriors if he could avoid it.

To trust others too readily was a great taboo.

The effects of abilities were fraught with uncertainty, and if one fell for a trap, regret would come too late.

Besides.

Duge’s own attributes were not low, he did not need these external objects.

He and Chen Da were at comparable realms, and after imbuing the flying sword with “speed,” he could easily outpace Chen Da when controlling the sword.

Arguably, this ordinary flying sword in his hands was already a divine artifact in this world.

With “agility,” “strength,” and “wisdom” bestowed upon him, Chen Da’s power and speed had almost doubled, and his mind had become much clearer, which made him ecstatic.

Nonetheless.

He still couldn’t catch up to Duge’s speed.

The speed of Seven Star Gate’s profit-making expansion was too swift, with Duge’s attributes increasing every moment.

Dan Cong was the seventh in line.

Without using Spiritual Power, Duge’s attributes were twenty times more than his.

With the effects of “agility” and “strength,” it was akin to doubling the current attributes; even if his attributes were quadrupled now, he couldn’t catch up to Duge.

Moreover, Duge had the benefit of Spiritual Energy enhancement.

…

“Are there any characters with special effects?” Duge asked.

“Mad, Overbearing, Cool, Crazy…” Dan Cong said, “Back when I was in Capital City, I wrote those words, but unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to find a test subject before your flying sword destroyed them. Wang Chong, we should collaborate. You shouldn’t be so guarded against me. There are many powerful words that only I can activate effectively…”

“Hmm, I know.” Duge looked at Dan Cong and said, “But you are too weak. My enemies are at least in the Void Refinement Realm, and at your current level, there’s no way you could tag them with the characters.

In Capital City, if I hadn’t wanted to keep a low profile at the start and avoid alarming the Supervisory Academy, Yao Liang would never have fallen under your control. If we three wielded our flying swords and tore down your house, even if we couldn’t break through your study, just waiting outside would have starved you to death…”

“I wouldn’t have starved to death.” Dan Cong said stubbornly, “I could write ‘rice,’ ‘meat,’ and ‘water.’

“Hmm.” Duge chuckled lightly, “You’re supposed to fight against Void Refinement Realm cultivators; can you stick the ‘control’ onto them? Cultivators frequently fly high without touching the ground.”

I also have a dragon. If it weren’t for running into a scumbag like you.

Even those in the Void Refinement Realm wouldn’t be my match.

Dan Cong couldn’t be bothered to argue with Duge and muttered to himself while he continued to write.

“Don’t be discouraged. You just keep writing and practicing at the Medical Immortal Sect, and when your skills reach maturity, I’ll take you out for some fun.” Duge said smiling, “The Spiritual Power I transferred to you earlier should at least allow you to reach the Divinity Transformation Realm.”

“Wang Chong, you’re in great danger right now, do you know that?” After writing a few more characters, Dan Cong seemed to recall something and suddenly looked up at Duge.

“Oh? Let’s hear it,” Duge said with a smile, “Keep talking, and keep writing. Don’t stop.”

“When I write these characters, I always feel uneasy. After much reflection, I finally understand why.” Dan Cong looked at Duge, “You kidnapped the newly popular imperial scholar, abducted a Void Refinement Realm supervisory envoy, and caused such a commotion in Capital City- that’s like slapping the Yan Country monarch publicly in the face.

Even for the sake of reputation, Yan Country couldn’t possibly give up on hunting you down, so that’s why I say you’re in great danger…”

“Hmm, anything else?” Duge asked.

“Is that still not enough?” Dan Cong frowned, “Wang Chong, you can’t seriously think you can escape the pursuit of an entire country, right?

Even if you’ve managed to control Chen Da, in the vast Capital City, do you really think there’s only one Alien Warrior like me? Who knows how many pairs of eyes are watching me; do you think they won’t stir things up from behind?

The top ten list is public knowledge; aside from you, the other seven have joined prestigious sects, and there’s also a princess from Daqing Country. The Supervisory Academy doesn’t dare to provoke them—do you think they would hesitate to provoke a mere Medical Immortal Sect?”

“You make a good point.” Duge gave him an approving look.

“I reckon that in no more than two days, the Supervisory Academy might strike at the Medical Immortal Sect.” Dan Cong put down his pen again, and his voice subconsciously raised, “Your reckless actions have put you at the center of the storm, where you could be finished at any moment, and you might even drag me down with you. Releasing the restrictions on me and allowing me to exert my full potential is the correct way to cooperate.

Not like now, where you’re always on guard against me, not even daring to use a ‘Sensitivity’ enhancement on yourself. You insist on exchanging sincerity for sincerity, but if you search your heart, have you really done so?”

“Are you done?” Duge smiled, used his Spiritual Energy to pick up the pen, and thrust it back into his hand, “If you’re done, continue writing!”

“Wang Chong, I’m serious, this is no joke,” Dan Cong said.

“I know, we’re partners, aren’t we!” Duge smiled, “But you guessed wrong about the facts.”

“What do you mean?” Dan Cong was taken aback.

“Set a whisker alight and the whole body burns; even if there truly are warriors in the Capital City, they’d choose to observe rather than actively wade into the fray.” Duge said, “After all, it’s only been a little over two months; any activity they engage in that has a significant impact on the world could expose them, and might even put them in the top ten, revealing themselves…”

“Is that what you’re banking on? Entrusting your fate to others?” Dan Cong scoffed, “There are still over a thousand two hundred people in the simulation field; are you confident there isn’t even one impulsive personality, like yourself?”

“I can’t guarantee that.” Duge laughed.

“Then why won’t you release me? My attributes are high—hasten my Cultivation, then boost my Realm swiftly with your Spiritual Power. With just a few ‘Forbidden’ and ‘Control’ characters, I wouldn’t be afraid, no matter how many Void Refinement Realm experts came.” Dan Cong said.

“You’ve gone around such a big circle just to get me to lift your restrictions, huh!” Duge laughed and shook his head, “Actually, you could have just said so outright.”

“What’s with that expression? I’m speaking the truth.” Dan Cong’s face flushed red, “Don’t take this lightly. You couldn’t possibly be delusional enough to think you can take on an entire country, right?”

“You still don’t understand me!” Duge looked at Dan Cong with pity and asked, “Old Dan, do you remember the time I took off your hands and feet again?”

When this matter came up, Dan Cong’s face flushed red, and with a cold snort, he said nothing.

With his capabilities, no one would feel safe letting him write alone, but that bastard Wang Chong, he even took off his feet.

It must be said, the guy is indeed cautious.

Duge continued with a smile, “Did you see Chen Da after I had those characters placed on him?”

“Huh?” Dan Cong looked puzzled.

“Those guys you mentioned are too timid; to expect them to leak the top ten would be waiting forever.” Duge said, “So, I did what they didn’t dare to do for them.”

Uh!

Go to hell with your management!

As Dan Cong glared at Duge, he couldn’t suppress his temper and retorted, “You’ve lost your mind, creating such a commotion; instead of hiding, you still want to pick fights? You have a great advantage—why not wait for a ripe opportunity?”

“What is a ripe opportunity?” Duge squinted at him, “Waiting for you to write the ‘Immortal’ character? For me, the ripest time is when I strike at others before they can develop, cornering them.”

“Madman, you’re a freakin’ madman!” Dan Cong was dumbfounded; he couldn’t believe Wang Chong would be the one to cause such a self-destructive scene.

“I’ve never been one to be passive.” Duge said with a smile, “Waiting for what you say to happen, even if you sincerely cooperate with me, we’d still end up at a dead end. Only by taking the initiative to act, stirring the waters, can we be the safest.

Just like you said, I’ve caused such a big stir in the Capital City, which is akin to slapping Yan Country’s face. I’m not in a position to cause trouble for those big sects with the top ten members, but dare Yan Country not? For the sake of face, they have to act.

Even if Yan Country doesn’t dare to attack the Heaven’s Path Institute, sending emissaries to inquire about the situation would be better than them amassing forces against the Medical Immortal Sect, exposing Luo Cang and the rest. I think that should be enough to give them a hard time, right?”

He laughed again, then looked at the still speechless Dan Cong, “My best skill is Muddy Water Touch Fish.”

Gulp!

Swallowing, Dan Cong’s gaze toward Duge carried a hint of fear.

After a careful consideration of Wang Chong’s words, he suddenly realized that, despite how insane Wang Chong’s actions seemed, they were precisely the best way to resolve the predicament.
