Chapter 1491: Chapter 1490: I See You Possess Exceptional Bones...

Some things are difficult for some people, but simple for others.

This is experience.

Fang Zheng has traveled through countless worlds, his vision has reached unknown heights, having seen every situation, he quickly obtained his own information from the intelligence extracted by the Little Angel.

It was more or less what Fang Zheng expected.

In the realm of the infinite flow, there are usually various teams, in addition to those who follow the right path and complete tasks to advance, there’s another kind that strengthens themselves through dubious ways. Was it called the Breeding Team or the Demon Squad...aren’t they pretty much the same?

And this time, the mastermind behind the scenes is indeed a similar force—or should I say, world.

According to the information Nymph investigated, this mastermind force was originally just one among countless worlds, like this world and other Otherworlds, it also suffered the ravages of the wave, it had the Four Sacred Hero System, and like others, the Four Sacred Heroes here were also summoned from Another World.

But, you see, summoning from Another World is inherently unreliable. Like glancing through a starting point of Otherworld time travel novels, there are good main characters, those who take destiny in their own hands, those who prosper in harmony and die in rebellion, and those who enjoy watching the world burn. In summary, people traveling from Another World have thoughts and concepts differing from ordinary folks, what they want to do, how they do it, are all question marks.

It’s just like gene mutation, you keep inducing mutant genes, sooner or later it’ll lead to problems.

Then that Another World got an unusual Four Sacred Hero.

Fang Zheng doesn’t know what experiences he had, whether he had some love and hate, or perhaps after crossing into that Another World, he fell in love with a girl, but she died to protect him in the wave, and the Hero darkened in fury—anyway, if this were a Japanese anime, it’d be the same cliché, right?

In short, this Hero thought of an innovative idea.

Since the wave occurs from two worlds merging and creates catastrophe, why not destroy the other world?

It must be said, this idea is quite similar to those three guys before, perhaps he got inspired from them?

The exact process Fang Zheng does not know, anyway, the guy succeeded, wiped out that world, and possibly gained some bizarre power. At least he somehow invaded the system because according to the data extracted from that idiot’s memory by Nymph, the guy placed a similar pioneer general in each Another World. He also endowed these people with the power to rob Holy Weapons and Enchanted Tools—since normally, Enchanted Tools and Holy Weapons wouldn’t be available for others to use.

Besides that, these pioneer generals also possess resurrection powers... however, Fang Zheng hasn’t seen them unfortunately.

But, this makes sense, since these two guys, one was burned clean by the Flame of Existence of Shana, the other got his head chopped off and burned with the Primordial Fire by Fang Zheng. Both the Flame of Existence and Primordial Fire can entirely erase someone’s existence from the root; even if you could resurrect, what’s the use? Hence, Fang Zheng and Shana didn’t discover this issue before.

However, this also explains why these two idiots were hell-bent on courting death, as Shana said, the Prince she possesses started a massive harem, and presently this guy deliberately broke the Spirit Turtle’s seal, absorbed Soul Power. Clearly, they were not afraid of death, as long as they have the ability provided by the mastermind behind the scenes, they can revive even if they die.

Of course, this resurrection ability, in Fang Zheng’s view... is not worth mentioning.

You can resurrect ten thousand times, but so what?

I directly delete your account, let’s see how you play?

"So what should we do next?"

After Fang Zheng explained everything, Anzu curiously asked.

"Although it’s unexpected, this fool awakened the Four Sacred Beasts, according to Fitoria, once one spirit beast is defeated, the other three beasts will wake up sequentially. Fortunately, these spirit beasts are sealed. I can directly find them, and burn them up with fire before they wake, meanwhile collecting some good items..."

Saying this, Fang Zheng proudly shook the shield in his hand. Just now, his Shield Axe not only dragged the mastermind behind the scenes out but also directly killed the Spirit Turtle. Out of curiosity, after killing the Spirit Turtle, Fang Zheng grabbed a piece of its heart and embedded it in the shield, unlocking the Spirit Turtle Shield series.

Perhaps because the turtle shell itself is very hard, the Spirit Turtle Shield Fang Zheng unlocked is a broad and comprehensive defensive ability and compared to the previous Protection of the Stars, this ability is more suitable for daily use.

Then Fang Zheng burned the Spirit Turtle with a fire, happily gained a wave of experience and Firewood.

See, I can not only unlock shield abilities, but also gain experience, burn for Firewood, a turtle with three dishes, how great!

If dealing with one Spirit Turtle is so satisfying, what about the remaining three... can I let them go?

Obviously not!

While the three spirit beasts are not awakened, go straight for them, unlock shield abilities, absorb experience, burn into firewood, one wave and I’m fat!

"After eliminating these three spirit beasts, the wave will reopen, then you all will defend against the wave, and I’ll take Little Angel to find that guy and settle scores, finish the job then go home!"

Fang Zheng claims that strength means charging without hesitation; once the situation is understood, swing your axe forward.

As for the world the mastermind is in, Fang Zheng plans to burn it with one fire. He’s already learned from the information Little Angel extracted before, that the mastermind’s world is now the most powerful among all the Another Worlds, its civilization level has reached a near-future standard.

But Fang Zheng won’t spare him.

To be honest, if in the beginning, he only dealt with the world he merged with, Fang Zheng wouldn’t be so harsh. Like those three before, they got a thorough beating from Fang Zheng, and he let them go in the end. After all, it was for their own world, it’s understandable.

But from the memories, Fang Zheng learned that since destroying that world and gaining the lost world’s Holy Weapons and Enchanted Tools, the mastermind started to inflate. He began actively attacking, annihilating various Otherworlds—of course, the motive is easy to understand, once all Otherworlds are destroyed, only they remain, naturally, they will win in the end.

The idea isn’t bad, but Fang Zheng doesn’t like it.

After all, this has exceeded the bounds of survival and is wanton aggression.

Although this world operates similarly to Fang Zheng’s Heavenly Dao Palace, both absorbing resources from other worlds to strengthen themselves, Fang Zheng obviously doesn’t see himself aligned with them, since even though he absorbs resources from those worlds, he brought them new development.

For example, in the Type Moon World, currently, the Eastern Nation’s technology is skyrocketing. In the Game World, virtual reality technology is gradually maturing, and the Chinese Federation in the Mech World has successfully started exploring and colonizing alien star systems. These advancements all have the aid of technology and resources from other worlds; one could say Fang Zheng uses a mutual-benefit approach for exchange, frankly speaking, the more developed these worlds become, the stronger they get, the more benefits they return to him. The Forerunner and Pioneer’s technological legacy is valuable, but after all, they come from the dead, and aren’t complete, learning and using them live is superior.

Of course, there are some worlds he’s lazy to manage, but being lazy doesn’t mean destroying them.

So vampiric beings that enhance themselves by draining others, in the end, will also die by... Let me burn them.

"So what you need to do next is to enhance your strength and rank. I don’t need to explain the benefits; you all know them well."

Fang Zheng didn’t need to say much more, and the others nodded. After spending so much time in this world, they understood the benefits of leveling up.

Only Shana was disgruntled.

"Do I still have to be this queen?"

"Hehe, you clean up your own mess, and we’ll talk after that."

Fang Zheng chuckled, but he wasn’t worried that Shana would walk away. After all, Shana was a responsible Fire Mist Warrior. If the matter weren’t her responsibility, it would be a different story. But this whole situation was entirely her responsibility, and Fang Zheng had nothing to do with it. Thus, with no choice, Shana had to shoulder the burden herself.

After making his decision, Fang Zheng immediately set out, taking the others with him to the sealing sites of the other three Spirit Beasts. With "Ratziel" as a guide, finding the sealing sites of the three Spirit Beasts was no problem at all for them. Fang Zheng was straightforward and blunt; he went up and slashed the seals apart, then used his Greatsword to chop the three still sleepy Spirit Beasts into pieces.

Subsequently, not only did Fang Zheng unlock the hidden ability of the shield with the cores of the three Spirit Beasts, but he also gained a substantial amount of experience. Naturally, the others who were tagging along also benefited greatly. However, what pleased Fang Zheng the most was...

Little raccoon Raphtalia leveled up to level 80, underwent her second advancement, and finally met the minimum requirement for learning the Wolf Sword Technique!

Fang Zheng was overjoyed.

"Raphtalia!"

After little raccoon Raphtalia’s advancement was complete, Fang Zheng immediately pulled Raphtalia aside.

"I have something very important to tell you."

"W-what is it, Master?"

Seeing Fang Zheng’s serious expression, Raphtalia couldn’t help but feel nervous. She thought of when they would finish off the Four Sacred Beasts, Fang Zheng would head into the void to confront the mastermind behind everything. Could it be that he wanted her to stay here?

Thinking of this, Raphtalia’s heart raced. If it really came to that, what would she do? Even though she hadn’t followed Fang Zheng for long, still...

"Here’s the thing."

Noticing Raphtalia’s nervousness, Fang Zheng was somewhat aware but didn’t mind. He coughed, recalling how masters in the martial arts novels he had read accepted disciples.

"Um, I see you have a unique build, a rare martial arts talent. If one day you unlock your potential, you will surely soar like a dragon, with limitless achievements. I have a set of the Wolf Sword Technique that I want to pass on to you. Would you be willing?"

"Eh?"

Hearing Fang Zheng’s question, Raphtalia was momentarily stunned before she reacted and quickly nodded in delight.

"I am willing!! I am willing!!"

"Good."

Fang Zheng was relieved by Raphtalia’s answer. To be honest, the Wolf Sword Technique of the Farron Undead Legion was Fang Zheng’s core combat skill, a key factor in his numerous victories. As the sole heir of the Undead Legion, Fang Zheng naturally wanted to pass this swordsmanship down. It was hard enough to find an heir...

Frankly, Fang Zheng wasn’t very clear about the past of the Undead Legion because when he entered the stronghold, the Undead Legion was almost extinct. The Abyss-corrupted captain of the Undead fought him, taught him the Wolf Sword Technique, and then perished. Fang Zheng only learned about the Undead Legion from some vague records and the White Dragon girl. Strictly speaking, he didn’t have deep feelings for the Undead Legion at that time.

However, from that time on, as he journeyed, Fang Zheng grew increasingly fond of the Wolf Sword Technique, and naturally, he became more concerned about the Undead Legion.

Now, Fang Zheng’s combat style was still fundamentally the traditional routine of the Undead Legion, which had never changed. He didn’t intend to change it.

But the opportunity to continue the legacy of the Legion and the Wolf Sword Technique was something Fang Zheng wouldn’t miss.

"Next, I will teach you the basics of the Wolf Sword Technique, and you need to refine your skills through practice. During my absence, your task is to hone your swordsmanship. Do you understand?"

The Wolf Sword Technique was different from other sword techniques, emphasizing practice rather than training. Fang Zheng didn’t know how many times he had died in Lothric before he mastered it. Of course, Raphtalia didn’t have his ability to die and revive repeatedly, but this world wasn’t as perilous as Lothric.

Moreover, Raphtalia was much stronger than Fang Zheng was back then.

Since Raphtalia was willing, Fang Zheng saw no need to say more and quickly began training her.

It must be said that at first, Raphtalia was not quite suited to the Wolf Sword Technique, as its style was to attack in defense, even in defense while attacking. While this made it forceful, it also carried great risk. Once the core skill failed, taking a hit from the enemy was inevitable.

The Wolf Sword Technique did not allow the use of a shield, requiring the handling of a Greatsword and a Dagger in each hand, which was difficult to balance. Initially, Raphtalia found herself off balance, carried away with the sword’s momentum.

This indirectly proved that the attribute requirements for the Wolf Sword Technique were not achievable by just anyone, or Fang Zheng wouldn’t have had to wait until now to find someone like Raphtalia.

Fortunately, Raphtalia met the attribute requirements. After nearly a month of intense training under Fang Zheng, she somewhat mastered the technique. Now, she simply needed to refine it amidst the challenges.

As for Fang Zheng...

"Time’s up."

Seeing the sky turn blood red once again and the vortex forming overhead, Fang Zheng said in a deep voice, then waved his hand forcefully.

"Nymph, let’s go!"

"Yes, Master!"
