Chapter 393 - - 390 Unbeatable from the start?_1

—————✧✧✧✧—————

Before Lass could finish speaking, a giant bear suddenly charged from behind the crowd.

The prisoners who had broken through the guard line and rushed out were sent flying back, landing on the ground with broken tendons and fractured bones, groaning and screaming in pain, some simply breathed their last.

Lass hadn’t reacted yet when one of the Angel’s wings had already been torn off by the giant bear.

Lass staggered, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, and launched “Judgement” again.

Sacred Light Flash.

But the Judgement that had severely injured the python seemed to merely tickle the giant bear, having no effect at all. Instead, the bear, now standing on its hind legs, swatted another wing off with a swipe of its paw.

“A four-winged Angel isn’t all that,” remarked a burly man in his forties as he emerged from the crowd. The giant bear returned to his side, and his gaze fell on Lass, “Lass, I don’t know how you broke the seal, but you’d best return to the prison quietly. Otherwise, I don’t mind imposing your sentences early.”

Ole returned to Duge’s side, eying the warden as if facing a formidable enemy.

Old Gao hesitated for a moment but decided to feign weakness, no longer wasting his magic. The little mana he had left would be of no use in the battle.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, some prisoners wisely turned around and ran back to the prison.

Lass opened his mouth to say something but instead coughed up blood. Painfully, he said, “Holley, I did my best. My Martial Spirit has been sealed for too long…”

“It’s alright, leave the rest to me,” Duge said with a smile, looking at the brawny man opposite him, “The warden?”

“Holley?” The warden looked at Duge, his eyes settling on his Martial Spirit, “Do you plan to fight me with that newly awakened ten-star Martial Spirit?”

“Yes,” Duge said, “I am innocent, and this prison has no right to keep me. I need to leave and do more meaningful things.”

The warden shook his head and chuckled, “Holley, you are indeed a little different today, but whether you’re guilty or not isn’t for you to decide. Go back to the prison, and I will report the awakening of your ten-star Martial Spirit to Duke Linqi, see if he might show leniency towards you?”

“Thank you for your kindness,” said Duge sincerely in thanks, “but I don’t trust Duke Linqi who sent me to the prison without a proper investigation. I only trust myself.”

“Naive!” the warden snorted, “Holley, the awakened ten-star Martial Spirit is your only chance at survival, go back. Remember, I am trying to help you…”

As soon as he finished speaking,

the giant bear behind him roared and lunged towards the Sea God behind Duge.

Lass silently retracted his injured Angel’s wings.

The warden was right, the awakened ten-star Martial Spirit was Holley’s trump card; revealing it meant he was certain to survive.

Duke Linqi, if he weren’t foolish, would definitely try to win over and even cultivate Holley. Perhaps he would arrange a marriage between Saima Lynch and Holley to smooth over this debacle…

Yes, he had never considered escaping head-on from the prison.

Now that he had achieved his goal.

As long as Holley lived, he would surely, out of old affection, find a way to rescue him from the prison.

Old Gao’s face fell, and he closed his eyes, defeated!

No miracle had occurred!

A newly awakened ten-star Martial Spirit could not possibly be a match for a well-tempered seven-star Martial Spirit…

…

Just when everyone thought that the Sea God would be crushed by the giant bear,

the ocean illusion beneath the Sea God suddenly spread outwards, covering the entire prison.

The sea surface surged wildly, with everyone feeling as if they were standing in the sea, swaying and unable to stand steady.

The rushing giant bear got submerged in the seawater, its speed instantly slowed, but it still struggled to plow through the waves.

At that moment,

the Sea God raised the scepter high.

A massive whirlpool suddenly formed, sucking the giant bear into mid-air, then hurling it heavily back onto the sea surface.

Immediately afterward,

more than a dozen Water Giants emerged from the sea, holding down the bear trying to rise from it, pushing its head into the water…

…

“Impossible!”

Lass and the others exclaimed almost in unison.

Old Gao’s eyes bulged, and he abruptly straightened up, his frailty vanishing, a look of shock on his face, “Impossible, a newly awakened ten-star Martial Spirit can’t have this much power?”

“Old Gao, nothing is impossible. I told you before, I will protect each of you,” Duge turned to Old Gao with a smile, “My conviction makes me strong.”

“Conviction?”

Old Gao muttered in repetition, yet wore an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

Belief can make people strong, but then why does everyone still need to temper their Soul Power?

However, the fact was right before his eyes, Duge had indeed increased the strength of his Martial Spirit by dozens of times in a short period of time, almost overturning Old Gao’s understanding of the world.

He was a wizard, with a powerful perception.

Duge’s awakening of his Martial Spirit and the abilities of his Martial Spirit were definitely not a pretense, but if it wasn’t a pretense, it was even more inexplicable…

…

Duge looked at the stunned crowd, shook his head, and didn’t explain to them.

The strengthening of the Martial Spirit was related to Soul Power.

The soul possession mode of Pan-Cosmic Entertainment Company was also related to the power of the soul; insufficient spiritual power would not withstand the original host, and the soul could dissipate in minutes.

It just so happened that Duge had over two million in spiritual power.

Moreover, he possessed two souls, and both of these souls had been enhanced by the Sea God’s Power;

Furthermore, the Supreme Pure Scripture he had developed himself was also for refining the soul, reaching high levels allowed the Yang God to leave the body…

Several aspects combined together.

When Duge, following the memory in Holley’s mind, tried to bolster his Soul Power onto the Sea God Martial Spirit, it produced such an earth-shattering effect.

However, he hadn’t awakened any Soul Skills.

But the Sea God didn’t need Soul Skills.

Water was his ability, his everything.

…

“Impossible, how can a Martial Spirit that has just awakened be so powerful?”

Submerged in the seawater, the prison warden was dumbfounded; he couldn’t believe everything he was seeing.

Yet his Martial Spirit, the King Kong Bear, was indeed easily suppressed.

A hallucination, it must be a hallucination.

If Holley was so powerful, why had he always been obscure and even been thrown into prison by Duke Linqi? If someone like him was after Saima Linqi, shouldn’t the Duke be pleased?

A Ten-Star Martial Spirit’s status was far higher than that of Prince Nelson.

Throughout history, no one’s Martial Spirit was the Sea God, and it was not possible to awaken a Ten-Star Martial Spirit so easily.

Therefore, Holley’s Martial Spirit must be fake, created by illusions.

His actual Martial Spirit might just be a Charm Beast or an Illusion Beast.

To deal with illusion-based Martial Spirits, one only needs to defeat their physical body.

The prison warden took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and charged at Duge with large strides.

As long as he defeated him, everything would be over.

His body had been tempered by his Martial Spirit for decades, making him extremely strong; not even Holley, had he started cultivating from the womb, could be stronger.

But the prison warden had just made his move.

Suddenly.

Intense pain came from his lower body.

His nostrils, mouth, and ears were filled with water, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, one hand covering his front, the other his back, rolling back and forth…

The Martial Spirit that was being pummeled by the Water Giant had already disappeared by the time the prison warden fell to the ground.

…

A Seven-Star Martial Spirit?

So weak?

Looking at the prison warden writhing in pain on the ground, Duge was stunned, then quietly withdrew the water that had surged into his body.

A decent person shouldn’t use such disgusting moves!

Duge hadn’t expected that his Martial Spirit could only combat other Martial Spirits.

Seeing the prison warden suddenly charging over, he had merely reflexively used his most familiar move.

But it seemed the martial skills in this world were somewhat lacking; besides Martial Spirits, they couldn’t even manage True Qi body protection, and just one move had floored him.

If he hadn’t promptly retracted the Seven-Hole Touch, the prison warden would have been drowned by him.

Duge looked up at the sky, wondering if he had become invincible just by starting the game?

Wasn’t it supposed to target him specifically?

What kind of Alien Battlefield had Pan-Universe Entertainment chosen? It felt like it was tailored just for him…
