First Entering Dragon-Snake World (Thanks to Wuqu Hanbing oniy)
"Oh? Your dad's a prison warden?" Gu Shaoshang raised an eyebrow and strode up to the red-haired youth.
Gu Shaoshang was somewhat surprised. These guys were clearly lowlife hooligans—were they actually the privileged second generation of this world?
On second thought, in inland China during this era, the kids who could get their hands on such "trends" usually didn't come from ordinary families.
It wasn't like later generations, when rainbow-colored explosive hairstyles filled the streets!
"Scared now? Too late! You dared hit Brother Liang—I won't let you off!" The red-haired youth first shot Yellow Hair a vicious glare, then forced himself to issue the threat.
Inside, he cursed his little brother ten thousand times over. The kid had been about to leave, yet he still had to run his mouth!
He was going to get him killed!
"You're overthinking it!" Gu Shaoshang raised an eyebrow and slapped him.
"You..." The red-haired youth flew two or three meters away. His vision went dark, his ears rang, blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and one side of his face swelled up high.
The snow seemed to be falling harder, forming a thin layer across the ground.
Clutching his face, the red-haired youth rolled back and forth in pain through the snow.
"Don't you dare run!" Yellow Hair pulled out an old-style cellphone with an antenna and made a call. Listening closely, he was actually calling the police.
Gu Shaoshang folded his arms across his chest, utterly speechless.
"Brother Liang!" The two delinquents gritted their teeth and helped the red-haired youth to his feet.
"Hiss! If I'm scared of you, my surname isn't Zhao! If you've got the guts, beat me to death!" The red-haired youth's face was hugely swollen, saliva dripping from the pain as he glared hatefully at Gu Shaoshang.
"Screech!"
"Beep! Beep!"
Suddenly, a car horn began blaring wildly. Gu Shaoshang looked up.
On the road, a silver-gray sedan seemed to suddenly skid. Amid the driver's frantic braking and honking, it lost control and came hurtling toward the sidewalk!
"Brother Liang!" Yellow Hair, who was still on the phone, let out a shriek!
"Fuck!" The red-haired youth turned around and instantly froze. The sedan was skidding straight toward him! The two lackeys beside him screamed and collapsed onto the ground.
"Hm?" Gu Shaoshang frowned. Though he had no good opinion of these hooligans, he couldn't just stand by and watch them die.
Gu Shaoshang stamped his foot. With a tiger's pounce, he crossed three or four meters and stood before the three delinquents, his back facing the silver-gray sedan.
"Ha!"
Gu Shaoshang exhaled sharply and stomped down! His spine surged upward like a great dragon, and the muscles across his back tightened! He slammed backward into the roaring sedan. In an instant, he seemed to transform into a savage wild bear, radiating incomparably violent force and generating a powerful burst of air pressure as he crashed head-on into the car!
It was the Bear Form of the Twelve Forms! Though Gu Shaoshang had not practiced martial arts for long, his immense strength still made it tremendously powerful!
Boom!
The enormous impact sent the surrounding snow flying! The sedan's hood instantly crumpled and warped. The driver screamed before being knocked unconscious by the airbag! Gu Shaoshang was thrown away, then bounced several times through the snow to bleed off the force. His back ached fiercely, his internal organs shook, and a bloody sweetness rose in his throat.
"Hoo!" Gu Shaoshang abruptly raised both hands to his temples, then slowly pressed them down to his dantian. He gradually exhaled a stream of white vapor mixed with flecks of blood.
"Fortunately, the car was skidding, so the impact was limited. If it had been driving normally, that would have been suicide!" Gu Shaoshang understood perfectly. The instant he saw the sedan skid, he had roughly calculated the force of impact. He could endure it with only light injuries.
Otherwise, Gu Shaoshang didn't think he had such lofty principles that he would throw away his life for a few hooligans.
"Hey! Are... are you okay?" The still-shaken delinquents supported one another as they walked over to Gu Shaoshang.
"Oh, I'm fine." Gu Shaoshang calmed his blood and qi, then wiped away the fine sweat on his forehead.
"Even though you beat us up, you also saved us! We can call it no fight, no friendship. Let's get acquainted. My name is Zhao Liang, but everyone on the streets calls me Brother Liang! If you need anything in the future, just say the word. As long as I can handle it, Brother Liang won't refuse!" Grimacing through the pain, the red-haired youth extended his hand, putting on the air of an underworld boss.
Gu Shaoshang found it rather amusing and reached out to shake his hand.
"My name is Gu Shaoshang. As it happens, there's something I need your help with." Gu Shaoshang narrowed his eyes and stated his purpose.
"I'm looking for someone, but I only know that he's around fifty years old and has spent decades in prison!"
"...Leave it to me! I'll definitely help you with this!"
Zhao Liang's face stiffened. He hadn't expected this kid to be so direct. He had only been making a polite offer, yet Gu Shaoshang immediately took advantage of it! But once the words were out, backing out would ruin his reputation. He could only slap his chest and agree with an expression of righteous resolve.
"Alright, let's get that unlucky driver out first!" Gu Shaoshang laughed and changed the subject. Some passersby in the distance had already called an ambulance.
Zhao Liang was a rich second-generation heir and the only child in his family. His father was an official, while his mother ran a small company. Since childhood, he had developed a somewhat unconventional personality and loved chasing these sorts of "trends."
Inside a small inn, Gu Shaoshang sat cross-legged on the bed. He had changed out of his coarse hemp clothes and into a white tracksuit, while his long hair had been shaved into a neat crew cut. He casually tossed the clothes he had changed out of into the trash.
"Project Myriad Heavens means that my soul crosses into another world, where the Myriad Heavens Mirror uses Source Power to create a body exactly like my true body. My martial cultivation and gains in strength in the Dragon-Snake World can be fully added onto my real body! Then I need to make a proper plan." Gu Shaoshang silently pondered. This sudden turn of events had disrupted his plans.
Gu Shaoshang had originally intended to go to the Dragon Ball world and search for the Dragon Balls, to see whether Shenron could help him awaken the Primordial Ancient Sacred Body Bloodline! But Qi Gang had ruined his plan, leaving Gu Shaoshang no choice but to give it up!
What Gu Shaoshang had manifested was an inactive Primordial Ancient Sacred Body. Awakening it would be extraordinarily difficult!
Just think about it: the Primordial Ancient Sacred Body Bloodline required tens of millions, perhaps even hundreds of millions, of Source Power to manifest, yet Gu Shaoshang had obtained it with a mere ten points of Source Power! Was his luck really that heaven-defying? How could there be such a cheap bargain?
Primordial Ancient Sacred Body Bloodline (Unawakened): Awakening requires one complete immortal medicine!
Faced with that simple sentence, Gu Shaoshang could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
"The Dragon-Snake World was originally among my considerations, so this trip hasn't been wasted. But choosing a world to cross into and crossing randomly are different matters!" Gu Shaoshang thought it over carefully.
He had randomly crossed into the Dragon-Snake World, before the protagonist Wang Chao had even begun his path of martial training. Gu Shaoshang had no choice but to consider his next direction.
Gu Shaoshang wanted to learn Guoshu, and his targets were limited to the several future "god-level" experts of the Dragon-Snake World!
Tang Zichen, Ba Liming, the leader of God, and Wang Chao!
As for the other Guoshu experts and Hidden Force masters, with Gu Shaoshang's strength of over two thousand jin, whether he could defeat them would have to be decided in battle! What right would they have to teach him?
But these people were not so easy to find.
As the overseas leader of the Tang Sect, Tang Zichen had always been elusive. Other than teaching Wang Chao Guoshu near the beginning of Dragon-Snake World, she was nearly impossible to find!
The leader of God was the head of the world's greatest assassination organization, a man who called himself "God." Gu Shaoshang eliminated him from consideration immediately. Forget how secretive and untraceable the leader of God was—even if Gu Shaoshang found him, the man would very likely kill him!
Wang Chao was currently only an ordinary high school student and was still learning martial arts himself. Gu Shaoshang eliminated him as well.
That left only one choice: the King of Martial Arts who had spent decades in prison, the former Red Guard leader, Mad Demon Ba—Ba Liming!
Part of the reason Gu Shaoshang had saved Zhao Liang was to use him to find Ba Liming.
"Unfortunately, after Project Myriad Heavens began, all the Myriad Heavens Mirror's other functions stopped. Otherwise, I could have simply fought him once and left behind a projection! Why would I need to go through so much trouble?" Gu Shaoshang shook his head. Only after arriving in the Dragon-Snake World did he learn that every function of the Myriad Heavens Mirror had been frozen.
