Who Would Still Be a Gigolo After Transmigrating into Coiling Dragon

But Fanny, feeling shy and annoyed, instantly pinned him down, her small fists raining down on Simon's chest like raindrops.

Simon did not resist, simply lying there and letting Fanny vent.

Unlike the cheerful scuffling inside the Flower-shaped Metal Lifeform, the atmosphere inside the bandit cave at Black Wind Mountain, not far from there, was extremely tense.

"So you're saying Quite, our third leader, and the hundred-plus Midgods he led were just killed like that?"

A bald youth asked in a cold voice.

"Reporting to the leader, I took a look back while I was fleeing. Third Leader Quite was indeed killed by a female powerhouse who cultivates the Law of Fire, and assisting her was a male Midgod who cultivates the Law of Wind and excels in speed."

A Midgod bandit who had escaped the previous battle replied with a trembling voice.

If he hadn't been at the back of the group and also cultivated the Law of Thunder, which is equally adept at speed, he truly wouldn't have been able to get away.

Another Midgod who cultivated the Light Element and had escaped just like him said the same thing.

"A female with the strength of a Five-Star Fiend, looking like she has fused two mysteries of the Law of Fire, plus a wind-element Midgod who excels in speed... hmm, this is a bit tricky."

The bald bandit leader pondered for a moment before looking at another bandit.

"Second brother, do you have any good ideas for dealing with them?"

"It's just a Five-Star Fiend and a fast Midgod. Third brother must have been careless, which is why he was killed. With my Gravity Space, this wind-element brat won't be able to run. As for that Five-Star Fiend, with your strength, big brother, you should be able to handle her."

The second-in-command, a bandit with short, earth-yellow hair, said.

"If the two of us join forces and the other brothers assist, I don't think there will be any problem capturing them. Daring to provoke our Black Wind Mountain—we must make them pay the price!"

After speaking, the bald leader took all the elite bandits in the cave and set out in full force.

Having heard from the subordinates who fled back that the two had flown toward Timbu City, the group of bandits intercepted them by riding a Black Dragon-shaped metal lifeform.

To successfully intercept Simon and Fanny, the bandit leader personally piloted the metal lifeform. Under his control—with strength approaching that of a Six-Star Fiend—the Black Dragon-shaped metal lifeform flew rapidly toward Timbu City.

At this moment, Simon and Fanny, still playing around, did not know they had poked a hornet's nest, but even if they had known, they wouldn't have cared.

They would just kill as many as came.

Bandits in Hell were like weeds; no matter how many were killed, new ones would grow back after a period of time.

Simon actually wished the bandits would come in greater numbers and with more strength.

His ultimate techniques still had many areas needing refinement, and these heinous bandits in Hell were the perfect whetstones for him.

Chapter 32: Ambushed

"Simon, there are still over thirty million miles to Timbu City. It's so far."

Fanny lay on the sofa, rolling around in boredom.

"Nothing we can do about it. Hell is too vast, and the number of cities is fixed. The distance between each city is extremely far. Our metal lifeform can fly two million miles a day; that's already considered fast for traveling."

Simon and Fanny had encountered other metal lifeforms driven by others along the way, but their speed was clearly not as fast as theirs.

It was like the difference between a luxury car and a van on the highway in his past life. The metal lifeform Fanny used was likely the top-tier kind; its speed limit was clearly much higher than others, and its level of intelligence was not low either—once the direction was set and the Divine Crystal was inserted, there was no need to worry about it further.

"That still means it will take more than ten days to arrive."

At first, Fanny had been immersed in the excitement of adventuring in Hell, especially after a battle where she successfully killed a Highgod bandit, leaving her full of confidence.

But as time passed, the excitement and confidence faded, leaving only boredom. She wasn't the type of person who could settle down to cultivate; when bored, she would look for Simon to play, but seeing Simon in deep cultivation, she felt embarrassed to disturb him too much. Most of the time, she would play by herself or zone out, only cultivating a little when she was truly bored.

Upon first arriving in Hell, Simon didn't just engage in constant deep cultivation. While playing with Fanny, he would also observe the environment of Hell.

He discovered that the wilderness of Hell was actually not desolate; it was filled with mountains, rivers, forests, and swamps, appearing to be rich in resources.

There were many places suitable for living, but because of the lack of order, it was extremely dangerous without the protection of a powerhouse, and one often had to face the threat of bandits.

That was why it appeared so sparsely populated.

Having traveled this far, they should have roughly left the sphere of influence of Black Wind Mountain. In the past few days, Simon and Fanny had occasionally encountered small groups of bandits, but they were all small bandit gangs composed of insignificant Midgods. Seeing the Highgod Fanny appear, they were scared off and fled in all directions.

However, there were also blind bandits who insisted on robbing them. Simon would not be polite; he would directly manifest his Ice Wind Space and slaughter these Midgod bandit groups.

After killing so many, Simon had become numb to it. These Midgod bandits didn't have many Inkstones, but their guts were certainly large.

Perhaps they saw that there were only Simon and Fanny in the metal lifeform and wanted to rely on their numbers to win. After all, there were "watered-down" individuals among Highgods, and a hundred Midgods joining forces could completely contend with or even kill one.

But neither Simon nor Fanny were pushovers, and they naturally wouldn't go soft when facing such tactless bandits.

Although these insignificant bandits didn't have much strength, after several battles, Simon's practical combat experience had increased significantly.

Three more days passed, and they were now only a few million miles from Timbu City. Flying any further would bring them close to the city's sphere of protection; generally, even the boldest bandits wouldn't dare to occupy the area within a hundred thousand miles of a city.

That would be equivalent to letting others farm them for experience.

Simon had recently been busy sorting out the gains from his recent battles. Although most of it was bullying the weak, the harvest was still huge.

First, he determined the intensity and maximum effective range of his Ice Wind Space. After several combat tests, Simon discovered that within a radius of one thousand meters centered on him, he could maintain the strongest binding force. Beyond that, the binding force decayed rapidly, and it would lose all effect beyond two thousand meters.

Limited by the fact that Simon was still a Midgod, even though he kept consuming Soul Golden Beads and Purple Crystals, his soul was still far from reaching the limit of a Midgod, and the binding force of the Ice Wind Space had not been fully exerted.

After testing, Simon found that when he exerted his divine sense with all his might in Hell, he could only cover a range of a little over one thousand meters, comparable to a Highgod whose soul had been slightly strengthened.

This was also Simon's deduction based on his understanding of Coiling Dragon from his past life: the divine sense coverage of the most ordinary Highgod was about one thousand meters in radius. If one had the money to consume Soul Golden Beads or Purple Crystals, it could be strengthened to about three thousand meters.

This was the limit to which an ordinary Highgod's soul could be strengthened, even for an Asura. Of course, that was on the premise that their race was average and no soul mutation had occurred.

This certainly does not include Paragons, as they do not fall into the category of ordinary Highgods.

In fact, when Simon asked Fanny, the result was the same.

Her soul coverage limit was around 3,200 meters.

Additionally, Simon remembered that in the original story, Linley relied on a broken soul-defending Sovereign artifact and absorbed Purple Crystals for hundreds of years to strengthen his soul to the limit.

Although Simon mainly used Soul Golden Beads which are absorbed quickly, because not much time had passed and his soul was ten times stronger than an ordinary Midgod's, his soul was still constantly strengthening. Simon estimated it would take at least several hundred years to strengthen all three souls to the limit.

He believed that once he reached the Highgod realm, his soul power would surge again, and after using various treasures to further strengthen his soul, the range and power of his Ice Wind Space would surely increase once more.

Then there was the Profound Mystery of Speed. Simon discovered that in battle, speed was not necessarily the faster the better. After repeatedly reviewing it in his mind, Simon found that alternating between fast and slow, making it impossible for the enemy to discern his true intentions, was best.

As expected, battle is the only standard for testing strength. If I had stayed in the Material Plane, I might never have seen so many Midgods in my entire life, let alone fought them to improve my combat experience.

Having not been in Hell for long, Simon found that he was already starting to blend in; the environment truly had a great influence on a person.

The once gentle and elegant Simon now carried a hint of murderous intent.

It was a change in temperament brought about by having his hands stained with the blood of too many powerhouses of the same level.

Just like that, Simon repeatedly reviewed the various battles he had encountered along the way, incorporating their essence into his fighting style.

Just as their Flower-shaped Metal Lifeform passed through a canyon, a fierce attack directly blasted the metal lifeform, which was flying at extreme speed, into pieces.

"Who is it? You blasted my cute and beautiful metal lifeform again! I must blast you to pieces!"

An angry Fanny looked at the metal lifeform that had shattered into fragments across the sky with heartache, vowing to make the perpetrator pay a heavy price.

Simon immediately released his divine sense to observe the surroundings.

After a search, Simon did not find the enemy's figure; clearly, the other party had come prepared and had hidden here in advance.

Thinking of this, Simon shielded Fanny behind him, vigilantly observing the surroundings with his eyes. In Hell, sometimes eyes were more useful than divine sense.

After all, a god's vision is not affected by the binding force of Hell, and in open terrain, one can see people or objects from dozens of miles away.

"Haha, kid, you're quite cautious."

A loud, resonant voice came from within the canyon.

Immediately, two Highgods and over a thousand Midgods appeared ten thousand meters in front of Simon and Fanny.

Seeing so many enemies, Simon felt a moment of tension and quickly spoke to Fanny.

"Fanny, there are many of them. Don't panic. Once the fight starts, do not leave my side by more than a thousand meters. You must stay within my domain. Remember, the primary goal is to protect yourself, and killing the enemy is secondary, understand?"

Simon said calmly.

"Okay, Simon, I won't run around."

Fanny also knew the situation was urgent. Although she was initially anxious seeing so many enemies, she calmed down quickly upon seeing Simon's composure and thinking of his miraculous domain.

The moment he saw the enemy, Simon released his Ice Mist Battle Armor and Wall of Illusion to ensure he wouldn't be ambushed, while his Ice Wind Space was also ready to be activated at any moment.

"Your Excellency must be from the Black Wind Bandit Group. I didn't expect you to make such a big fuss just because one Highgod died. If you sacrifice your entire bandit group because of one Quite, wouldn't that be a poor trade?"

Simon spoke to demoralize the opponent; this was something he had learned from that green-haired bandit—to suppress the opponent's momentum first.

"Your strength isn't much, but your mouth is quite tough. It seems you really did kill my third brother. Remember, I am the leader of the Black Wind Bandit Group, Romson. Don't die without knowing who killed you."

After speaking, Romson took the lead and charged toward Simon and Fanny. At this moment, Simon also realized that their surroundings were already filled with the figures of bandits.

Chapter 33: Great Battle

It turned out that this bandit leader had quietly let his subordinates surround them while they were exchanging words.

"Damn it, these professional bandits are more insidious. There is still a lot to learn."

Seeing that the bandits had already charged into the range of his Ice Wind Space, Simon did not hesitate and opened his domain at full power.

Fanny unleashed her movement technique, following closely around Simon like a shadow, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

At this moment, a yellowish halo also appeared on the battlefield, shrouding Simon and Fanny.

"Oh no, Simon, this is a Gravity Space cast by an Earth-element Highgod. Our speed is greatly affected now."

Fanny said anxiously.

"Gravity Space? Don't worry, Fanny. Look at their speed."

Only then did Fanny notice that the Midgod Fiends within the Ice Wind Space had been bound in place, unable to move. Each one remained in the instant they were about to attack, with expressions of horror on their faces.

They could only attempt to use soul attacks, but the range of a Midgod's soul attack was very short, and the power was quite average. Simon, dodging at extreme speed, evaded most of the soul attacks, and the few that hit him were painless and had no effect.

As for their leader, Romson, his speed had also dropped to half of what it was. Realizing the anomaly, Romson wanted to retreat and open up the distance, but he found it was too late.

Fanny, shrouded in a pale cyan light that neutralized the binding force of the Ice Wind Space, appeared behind Romson like a ghost.

Although her speed was affected by the Gravity Space, Romson was affected even more by the Ice Wind Space. Relatively speaking, Fanny's speed still held an absolute advantage.

With a flash of her figure, Fanny launched an all-out attack in an instant.

Romson, who cultivated the Laws of Darkness, was not good at defense. Although he had fused three profound mysteries of the Darkness Element, his strength barely reached that of a Six-Star Fiend.
