Chapter 2194 - 2187: What Kind of Bastard?
Zhang Menglong could confirm that the golden jelly-like object obtained from killing these thousands of Blood Slave Beasts had indeed disappeared into thin air; he merely glanced away and it was completely gone!
This thing was just a pure Energy Entity, devoid of life and consciousness, it couldn’t possibly have escaped on its own, right? If it wasn’t an accident, then it was man-made!
All this time, it’s always been Zhang Menglong acting like the sneaky one, could it be time for someone else to play the sneaky role? And right under his nose, they snatched his things away, how infuriatingly unbearable!
Zhang Menglong put away the red stone, and with the disappearance of its fluctuations, the emotions of those Blood Slave Beasts gradually calmed down. Zhang Menglong casually dealt with a few more, and no other Blood Slave Beasts emerged from the Blood Pond!
Zhang Menglong used his spiritual power and Soul Power to scan the surroundings but found nothing unusual.
"Gou Dan, can you locate it?"
[Dean, there’s no response! I suspect the other party might have carried a small world, and after stealing your things, they hid directly in the void, so none of us noticed!]
[And I did detect some unusual fluctuations earlier, although it was only for one ten-thousandth of a second, it was very clear, so this hypothesis can nearly be confirmed!]
"A small world?" Zhang Menglong suddenly fell silent. The Super God Academy itself was an independent small world, and Zhang Menglong had several times escaped dangerous situations by hiding in it, only to turn peril into safety; now someone had pulled the wool over his eyes!
"Don’t let me catch who it is, or I’ll stab your hide with ivory until it’s shredded!" Zhang Menglong cursed through gritted teeth, feeling the day’s efforts amounted to working for someone else, which was even more distressing than being killed!
Moreover, ordinary people simply couldn’t use the energy from this golden jelly-like gel; if the Soul Rank is not enough, even beings above Transcenders won’t be able to.
The person who stole his stuff obviously had a clear purpose and had done some preparation, which means there’s a huge possibility that they could also use this jelly’s energy, and perhaps they have a similar soul to his!
In just moments, Zhang Menglong analyzed many things.
"Damn!" Zhang Menglong glanced around once more, then left while cursing.
Half an hour after Zhang Menglong left, amidst countless dust particles on the Blood Pool, one suddenly squirmed slightly, followed by a spatial fluctuation as a black-haired youth slowly appeared.
He was short, not even reaching 165, with yellow skin, black hair, and black eyes—a typical Asian appearance—but he had an indescribable sleazy aura, especially with his deep expression, making him quite fitting to be called a sneaky thief!
"I didn’t expect to encounter a fellow countryman in this world, and a Xia citizen at that!" The sleazy man’s tone was unmistakably astonished.
"This inferior race isn’t even extinct, and they’ve arrived in this timed world, must’ve been some stupid luck!"
...
If Zhang Menglong were still here, he would surely recognize that the mysterious person who followed him earlier was this very man! Moreover, when he talked to himself, the language he spoke would be extremely familiar to Zhang Menglong—it’s the language of the Kaibong people, whose small lives thrived!
With both hands open, a small piece of the golden jelly suspended in his palm, "He’s collecting this too, could it be he also found the Ancient God’s Soul Shard?"
As he spoke, his expression was suddenly full of disdain, "A mere Xia citizen, how dare he share the same soul as I do?"
He began absorbing the damaged gel, and his Soul Rank was even at the third stage, stronger than Zhang Menglong!
Little Lin born initially, he was once a legend among the Kaibong; living fifty years before Zhang Menglong, at the time of the Kaibong, its science advanced significantly with many powerful Enhanced Humans emerging.
After completing a series of domestic transformations, he vanished, many speculate an accidental death, while others guess he ascended to the divine, disappearing into the void.
In Kaibong, he left many legends like the God of Ninja, Ancestor of Onmyoji, etc., yet almost no one knew these myths were all modeled after him, Little Lin born initially.
This all began when he acquired something called a system...
It was something beyond his comprehension, through this system, all he had to do was complete certain tasks to receive abundant rewards—wealth, treasures, Bloodline Divine Artifacts—with the only limit being his imagination, anything he could conceive, the system could provide.
Relying on this system, he single-handedly conquered world after world, also leaving behind his forces or civilizations in those worlds! Ferocious and brutal, he even modeled religions around his likeness, strengthening himself through followers’ faith.
As of now, he possesses a Third Grade Ancient God Soul, with power reaching Transcender fifth order! Under his comprehensive strength, he could easily defeat any peak Transcender!
He arrived at the Supreme World twenty years before Zhang Menglong, where by chance he discovered something called the Ancient God Soul Shard, his soul crushed and reconstituted, becoming immensely powerful!
𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
Yet, further strengthening this soul proves extremely difficult.
He expended great effort, facing many dangers, finally upgrading his soul to the third grade, and at this level, it stayed unchanged for many years.
Sharing the Ancient God Soul, he sensed a slight resonance with Zhang Menglong, one day unexpectedly discovering a fellow being! With a speculative mindset, he trailed Zhang Menglong to the Blood Pond, not expecting such a fantastic stroke of luck to appear, thus decisively playing the sneaky role.
Previously hidden inside a Divine Artifact exchanged through the system, without a specific coordinate, not even beings above Transcenders could locate his hiding spot, having played the sneaky role more than a few times now with this artifact.
"Feasting on my possessions, quite the sensation, huh?" As he basked in the triumph of his harvest, a voice called from behind him.
Zhang Menglong stood behind him, arms crossed, gazing at him, a trace of mocking amusement lingering on his face.
"You... when did you appear behind me?" Little Lin born initially was taken aback.
"Kaibong language?" Hearing this odd speech, Zhang Menglong felt something stir in his Bloodline; he hadn’t expected to encounter a Kaibong person thriving well here?
"Using whatever means you employed to steal from my side, that’s exactly how I came to be behind you!" Zhang Menglong’s tone grew increasingly impatient, mere seeing Little Lin born initially caused him physical discomfort.
"I am Little Lin born initially, a Xia citizen; I never kill nameless people, state your name, then your Ancient God Soul is mine!"
"Huh? What did you say? What bastard?"
