Chapter 13: New Viewer: Nine Color Goddess! Flender's Borrowed Authority!
Do children born in the Divine Realm not need to cultivate?
"God of Speed": They really don't. After all, their ancestors are all gods. A casual grant of divine power gets them to level one hundred. They're stuck at God Official and can't advance any further, so cultivating is just wasted effort.
Alright, alright.
So that was how it worked.
Mortals struggled desperately, and even becoming Titled Douluo was difficult.
The descendants of gods were born with immortality.
No wonder they wanted to expand the Divine Realm. With the population only increasing and never decreasing, there definitely won't be enough space.
"God King of Destruction 001": This is precisely why I have such a headache.
"God King of Destruction 002": Yes, it's far too difficult.
First Hong did not join the conversation.
He was just a webnovel author. A lofty issue like overpopulation among gods was far beyond his capabilities.
Since there was no way for him to work hard anyway,
First Hong lay down on the bed and went to sleep in peace.
As for leveling up?
He had God-Given Soul Power.
Yet no matter how much he tossed and turned, he could not fall asleep.
Without a phone as a bedtime activity, he really was not used to it.
Right!
He had not checked out his Phoenix Wings and Soul Bone Skills yet.
—Phoenix Flight!
This was the flying Soul Bone Skill from earlier. Phoenix Flame would envelop his body and provide defense. Once shattered, it would produce a shockwave that knocked back and burned nearby enemies.
Flight, defense, and counterattack in one. It was pretty good.
—Phoenix Domain!
It released a domain filled with Phoenix Flame. While comprehensively enhancing flame abilities, it suppressed abilities other than fire and burned hostile targets.
—Phoenix Nirvana!
It required charging before activation and could be activated voluntarily or upon the brink of death. It would be reborn through flames, eliminate all injuries, and restore him to peak condition.
It was equivalent to having an extra life.
This was good. It lived up to the name of a Million Year Soul Bone Skill.
—Phoenix Descent!
The Phoenix Wings would temporarily separate from his body, fully activating the power of the Million Year Soul Bone and launching a fierce, relentless attack upon his enemies until death!
Four Million Year Soul Bone Skills.
They included flight, defense, support, attack, healing, and revival.
It truly was divine equipment. Damn powerful!
Unfortunately.
First Hong had plenty of divine sense on hand. Phoenix Nirvana and Phoenix Descent, which consumed a great deal, would most likely never see much use.
After all, charging them was troublesome. It was better to directly use Phoenix Divine Sense.
As he thought about it,
First Hong, exhausted after a busy day, drifted off to sleep.
He did not close the Livestream Room either, treating everyone to a sleep stream.
He slept until broad daylight.
This time, Tang San had not been severely injured and fallen unconscious, so the start of school was not delayed.
Oscar woke him up.
"First, wake up. You're going to be late."
Still groggy from sleep, First Hong thought he was back in a college dormitory.
He casually waved a hand.
"Go take attendance first. I'll be there in a bit."
"Are you sure?" Oscar asked uneasily. "Dean Flender is really stingy. If he catches you being late, he'll definitely punish you."
"Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, I know."
Hearing First Hong speak clearly, Oscar assumed he was awake.
So he left on his own.
Because he had deliberately shaved off his beard, Tang San and the others were surprised by his appearance.
For a moment, they forgot about First Hong.
Only when Flender appeared did Oscar smack his forehead.
Damn it!
How had he believed his nonsense?
Flender also noticed that First Hong had not arrived. He was both annoyed and helpless.
With Ning Fengzhi's permission, he dared to discipline Ning Rongrong without restraint.
But First Hong?
This was someone who could cripple the Clear Sky Douluo with his bare hands. He was only a mere Soul Saint; even nine lives would not be enough for him to die.
Still, for the sake of his dignity as dean, he had no choice but to ask.
"Xiao Ao, where is First?"
"Ah, he... he's still cultivating! Yes!"
The image of First Hong still half-asleep surfaced in his mind, and Oscar said with difficulty—
"He started cultivating as soon as he went back last night, and he still hadn't gotten up by morning. He probably gained some insight?"
"So I didn't wake him."
"Should I go wake him now?"
Flender fell silent.
He started cultivating as soon as he went back?
And had not gotten up by morning?
Then who had stabbed him in the heart twice last night?
Though he was angry that Oscar had lied,
he had been given an out, so he might as well take it.
As for Oscar,
Flender glanced at Ning Rongrong. He needed to give this little girl a lesson!
First Hong went back to sleep.
In his hazy state,
he heard people shouting slogans, making so much noise that he could not sleep peacefully.
In the end, it escalated into a fierce argument.
It infuriated him enough to punch the bed and sit up!
"Who is it?!"
"Who has so little public decency this early in the morning? Are you asking to be taught a lesson?"
When he opened his eyes,
he saw not his familiar little nest, but a crude wooden cabin.
His awareness returned.
Huh?
He had transmigrated yesterday.
After blanking out for a moment, he came to his senses.
Only then did he remember.
It seemed school started today, and they were supposed to gather?
He hurriedly dressed and ran outside.
It was not because he feared being scolded for being late. Flender was just someone who borrowed authority to throw his weight around; if he dared say a single harsh word, that would already count as audacious.
He simply did not want to miss the excitement and wanted to stir up a little trouble while he was at it.
To save time,
he directly spread his Phoenix Wings and flew into the sky, looking down at the ground until he found the training field.
Then he dove down.
Everyone turned to look. What a handsome entrance!
But some did not care.
"Flender!" Ning Rongrong shouted. "Who do you think you are? You're only a mere Soul Saint!"
Oh ho!
He had arrived just in time for the climax.
First Hong folded away his Phoenix Wings and stood to one side to watch the show.
Flender had the "Imperial Sword" Ning Fengzhi had given him, so he was not afraid in the slightest.
Comparing everyone present, every one of them had greater talent than Ning Rongrong.
Even Zhu Zhuqing, the only one at the same level as her, possessed firmer willpower.
Finally, he pointed at First Hong.
"Not to mention First. At twelve years old, he's already a level-forty Soul Elder and can break through to Soul Ancestor at any time. What do you have to compare with him?"
"Here, you are the weakest!"
Though he was lecturing Ning Rongrong,
everyone, including Dai Mubai, could not help lowering their heads.
They had gotten caught in the crossfire.
Ma Hongjun, who had not been present yesterday, gaped in shock!
What the hell had he just heard?
First Hong blinked.
Even eating popcorn let him show off. He was truly innocent.
"Impossible!" Ning Rongrong shrieked. "What about Oscar? He's a support-type Soul Master too. Could I possibly be worse than him?"
A crafty gleam appeared in Flender's eyes.
He had been waiting for her to say that!
Just as he was about to deliver the fatal blow,
First Hong beat him to it. "That really is different. Oscar has Innate Full Soul Power and a food-type martial soul."
Flender: "!!!"
That was his line!
Ning Rongrong: "!!!"
What kind of horror story was this?
She stood there dazed, the pride in her heart completely shattered.
With a wail, she broke down crying, covered her face, and ran away.
The desired educational effect had been achieved, but Flender was not happy at all.
—His most essential line had been stolen. There was no satisfaction whatsoever.
He bared his teeth at First Hong, but he did not dare show anger or say a word.
This guy truly struck with lethal force when he hit people. Flender could not afford to offend him in the slightest.
"Dean, should I go pack Ning Rongrong's luggage?" Dai Mubai asked at the worst possible moment.
Flender shot him a glare.
"Do you really want that girl to leave?"
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's support can raise your combat strength by an entire level!"
"Um..."
"First, go comfort Ning Rongrong, so she doesn't do anything rash."
First Hong gave an "oh."
He spread his Phoenix Wings and chased after her.
Leaving the others staring at each other.
Clearly, it was the dean who had been lecturing someone, so why were their minds filled entirely with First Hong's image?
"Cool!" Ma Hongjun said enviously. "Once I get a Flight Soul Skill in the future, I'll be this cool too, right?"
"With that turkey martial soul of yours?" Xiao Wu retorted. "If you ask me, First's is the one that looks more like a phoenix."
"You fucking—"
"Enough!" Flender barked. "You two have so much energy, huh? Go with Oscar and run twenty laps around the village!"
After sending off the two powder kegs,
Flender felt utterly exhausted.
His perfectly good display of authority had been completely ruined by First Hong.
Sigh.
The team ahead was going to be much harder to lead!
Speaking of which...
Could he handle it when Xiao Gang came in a few days?
First Hong's side.
"God of Phoenix": Tsk! Look at that—Headmaster Flender didn't even dare say a harsh word to the streamer.
"God of Speed": I used to think he was impressive, not even afraid of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Looking back, he was just a weather vane.
"Nine Color Goddess": Exactly. A fox exploiting a tiger's might, hmph!
"God of Speed": But I have to say, Rongrong really did need a good scolding at this point.
"God of Phoenix": Agreed.
"Nine Color Goddess": Don't expose a god's hardships.
Eh?
A new viewer?
She had probably entered the Livestream Room while he was asleep last night.
He tapped the avatar in the viewer list.
Nine Color Goddess: Her partner, the God of Cookery, was led astray by the God of War and went around chasing women, so in her fury, she separated from him and lived apart. Because she possessed the Resurrection Divine Light, God King Tang San took her everywhere to put out fires. After personally experiencing the incidents involving Huo Yun'er, Wang Dong'er, Electrolux, and others, she saw God King Tang San's true nature and wanted to part ways with him.
Her buffs were stacked to the max.
What a coincidence.
'Welcome, Nine Color Goddess.'
'As you can see, I'm about to go comfort the you from back then.'
'What do you think you would want to hear?'
