Becoming a God from a Water Monkey

Chapter 1219 All-Out Attack, River God Competition (Part 2)

"Wuhu, the big one is coming! Is it really going to be a chaotic battle between martial saints and demon kings?!"

"Hey everyone, come over here and listen! How can a lousy pastry be that delicious?"

"Hmm, soon. Should we go over the order of the matches? I've never even seen a Grand Martial Master fight. Wouldn't it be too exciting to go straight to a Martial Saint? Will there be a beautiful Martial Saint? Hehehe."

"Ha, a beautiful martial arts saint? Dare to look, and I'll smash your head in."

"The Martial Saint might come, but it's unlikely to be the Martial Saint himself; it feels more like some kind of new puppet..."

On the bluestone street, the surging crowds stopped colliding and stood still.

Restaurants, chambers of commerce, pleasure boats... the doors and windows of enclosed spaces were wide open, with heads peeking out.

Even Grandmaster Zhenxiang couldn't help but wonder what exactly this chaotic battle between Martial Saints and Demon Kings that Prince Huai was so vigorously promoting was all about. The Whale Emperor was able to hold the Grand Hunt because he had the power to stop the war and allow the world to participate in this grand event.

The Prince of Huai has only been in office for a year. In terms of talent, he is in a class of his own, but in terms of strength, he is not even ranked. Why would the Martial Saint of the Imperial Court move his position to cooperate with him? I have even heard that Martial Saints from the Southern Frontier and the Northern Court are involved. Could it really be some kind of "open selection" with the support of the Whale Emperor?

"Stone, come here right now!"

"If you're not coming, you can go see those things yourselves. I know them all perfectly well. Don't forget I'm here to compete."

A friend called out, but Wen Shiyun waved his hand, broke open a lamb leg bone, mixed the meat into his rice, and shoveled it down. He was still growing, and because he had eaten late while waiting for the river god's sacrifice, he was very hungry. Wulong, curled up under the table, tried to come out, but its head bumped against the table, making it wobble. It then gave up, burying its head in crushing beef bones and licking the marrow.

He Hanyu and Fang Yanling shared a window, their waists bound by martial arts protective gear, their silhouettes already showing a distinct curve from the boys in the next window.

White clouds gather and disperse.

The top-floor office area of ​​Wangu Yingchun Building offers a wide view and floor-to-ceiling stained glass windows. The next floor is the balsam fish exhibition area, and when the windows are open, you can hear people exclaiming in amazement.

Liang Qu looked at the group of martial arts disciples led by Xiong Yiheng, Du Hanwen, and Jin Xiaoyu, and gave them his final instructions.

"The key to this dream-entering experience is not winning or losing, but using the easiest way to help everyone understand the content of the dream, which is equivalent to teaching, understand?"

"Please rest assured, brother!"

"Okay, one last test!"

Amidst the ethereal white mist, pavilions and towers, ten people, divided into two rows, drifted into a dream together.

The dragon spirit silk was divided into long, thin strips of white cloth, one end of which was connected to the forehead, and the other end was held in place by a clam shell.

After confirming that the video transmission was correct, Liangqu went to the next house.

The fat catfish sat on the ground, flipping through its speech manuscript, swishing its tail, and mimicking the tone of the speech with remarkable skill, spreading its voice to every corner of Yixing County.

"The Third Prince!"

"To!"

"Listen to the speech, prepare to change your pose, and use [Breathe]."

"As ordered!"

The small mirage dragons spewed white mist, intertwining with each other.

A vast, dark mass of people, with carriages and horses at a standstill.

Amid the anticipation of hundreds of thousands, a giant statue of the King of Huai, with arms crossed, slowly emerged from the sky atop the Wan Gu Ying Chun Tower. Dressed in both civil and military robes, it undulated and rotated 360 degrees, displaying its heroic bearing and resolute expression.

The broadcast reached the entire county via Sky Radio.

"Heroic figure: King Huai".

Occupation: Po Jun (破军).

Active Martial Skill: Dragon Tiger...

The ultimate attack, "Dragon Slayer," is used by the King of Huai to kill his enemies, dealing a certain amount of true damage plus 25%/30%/35% of their lost health. Cooldown: ...

Passive Martial Skill: A domain forms around the Prince of Huai, weakening the enemy's attack and movement speed. When the second active martial skill is activated, the domain expands, increasing the Prince's movement speed...

Heroic figure: Vajra Wisdom King.

Occupation: Fudoyama.

Active martial arts skills: ...

Absolute Kill Immovable Golden Body: ..."

The giant jade-white Huai King disappeared, and in its place appeared a withered monk sitting cross-legged.

In Pingyang Temple, the monks greeted each other with their hands clasped together.

"Heroic figure: King of the Western Waters Turtle".

Occupation: Fudoyama.

Active skill: Spinning Dash: The West Water Turtle King will curl into a ball and continuously accelerate...

Active martial arts...

The white smoke changes.

The withered old monk deflated and became plump, transforming into a plump, black, giant tortoise.

On the vast marshes of the Yangtze and Huai rivers, large turtles stretched out their heads and waved their claws in support.

Heroic figure: Jiaolong.

Occupation: Shadowless.

Active martial arts techniques are treacherous and cunning: ..."

Next, as the story unfolds, a series of heroic figures appear, including familiar martial saints and demon kings whose names have never been heard of. Their appearances are revealed, and each is accompanied by descriptions of their unique skills and strange moves, resulting in a large number of them.

Tourists were completely baffled.

Po Jun, Bu Dong Shan, Jue Ying, Jing Yu, Wan Fa, Tong Ce...

Among so many unparalleled masters, there seem to be only six fixed "professions," which appear to be distinct, as well as three fixed martial arts techniques: one ultimate killing move and one "passive" move.

Not only ordinary tourists, but also the trusted confidants sent by their own martial saint were confused about the situation. The so-called authorization was just to hold an exhibition.
Wen Junxuan scratched his head: "What does this mean?"

"It is the legacy of the Jianghuai Marshland, the foundation of two generations of Dragon Kings!"

Wen Junxuan was startled and looked around, thinking that they were talking about him.

It was later discovered that this was not an answer to himself, but an answer to everyone.

"What is this?" On the roof of Yingchun Tower, "Benboerba" asked the question that was on everyone's mind. "I believe that all of you tourists must be asking this question in your hearts. This is my answer, and it is also the answer of the Prince of Huai."

This is the legacy of two generations of Dragon Kings! It is the heartfelt offering of all living beings in the Jianghuai Marshland. Please allow me, the little fish, to show it to you here!

"Crash."

The curtain shakes, stretches, and deforms.

The little mirage dragon manipulated the white mist to float upwards, creating a shadow that blocked the dazzling sun, preventing glare from the curtain and making the colors dull and unclear.

Under everyone's gaze, a box appeared on the screen, containing dozens of brightly colored portraits, which were the dozens of "heroes" introduced earlier!
at the same time.

On ten reclining chairs, martial arts disciples, seemingly asleep, appear in a corner of the scene, each with a strip of cloth wrapped around their head.

Benboerba flailed his tail: "The Jianghuai Great Marsh has a long history. The old Dragon King passed away, but he left behind a precious legacy for future generations with his bloodline: the Jianghuai Mirage Clan!"

Then, the old dragon king embraced all things, like the ocean accepting all rivers, and all things flourished. This gave birth to the Dragon Spirit Silk, a wondrous object that changes color and luster in real time according to the wearer's will!
"The Prince of Huai, inheriting the legacy of the emperor and receiving the support of the Western Turtle King, combined these two influences to create a unique product that entertains people's lives and enriches their spirits..."

As "Benboerba" spoke, the images on the dragon spirit silk continued to evolve.

Two people form a group, ten screens are set up, and seemingly guided by individual will, the bright blue frame moves continuously. If it expands and lights up once in the middle, it will freeze and stop moving.

The two of them froze, and the scene suddenly changed.

"West Water Turtle King vs. Wolf Lord, Round 1!"

Two figures suddenly appeared on the Dragon Spirit Silk: the Western Water Turtle King and the Northern Court Wolf Lord!

The merchants from Beiting were taken aback.

Why is this related to our own wolf lord?

Although there is no such thing as portrait rights protection in the world, as a Beiting person, I subconsciously felt that it was inappropriate. Did the Prince of Huai get the Wolf Lord's consent to do this?
It's common for different factions to use each other's top players to sabotage each other.

Apart from the first group, people kept selecting targets.

"Prince Huai versus Vajra King, the first match!"

"Pengze Demon King vs. Eternal King, Round One!"

"Frog King vs. Huai King, Round One!" "Huai King vs..."

Five different scenes are reflected simultaneously, with figures on the left and right sides of each scene, and red and blue bars at the top. King Huai and Vajra King begin to move, to punch, and to kick, all accompanied by "routine" moves.

"?"

I understand it less and less.

Is this the shadow of the various martial saints?

"Dear tourists, please be patient. Have you noticed the bottom right corner of the screen...?"

Changing the subject, the mascot "Benboerba" didn't introduce the content shown in the picture, but instead began to talk about the identities of Xiong Yiheng, Du Hanwen, Jin Xiaoyu, and others.

Upon hearing that the three had met the Holy Emperor, the parents who brought their child began to offer guidance on the spot, pointing one finger at the martial arts disciples on the screen and the other at the child.

The child let it go in one ear and out the other, pouting and staring intently at the screen.

Younger children have not yet fully formed their worldview and have not developed many habits about the outside world. They are often more receptive and gradually understand what is going on.

The two sides on the screen began to make contact and engage in battle.

Wen Junxuan turned his head: "Stone, is this really the True Martial Saint? We're here now, so stop keeping us in suspense."

"Hmm." Wen Shiyun burped and tossed out a bone. "My master set up a few games that you can join as long as you enter a dream. You can think of them as a new kind of shadow play, but you can not only watch the plot unfold, but also control the characters inside and defeat them."

You can hit whomever you want, and hit however you want.

The characters are the martial saints, great shamans, and demon kings I just introduced. However, when I started playing, there were only a few characters. It was only after His Majesty granted authorization that the number of characters increased.

"Controlling characters. You can hit whoever you want? Really?"

Wen Junxuan and the others' eyes lit up.

On the rooftop, Benboerba also pointed out the key point.

interactive!

Break free from all the constraints of the real world and experience new characters and new lives under a completely new set of rules!

"Are they all being manipulated by martial arts disciples?"

"What? Not a shadow puppet? How did you do that?"

"After entering the dream, can I fight however I want? Can I control the Prince of Huai and the Martial Saint?"

A great commotion erupted.

There was a lot of discussion.

A strong interest arose in my heart and transformed into vines that climbed upwards.

If martial arts disciples can manipulate it, doesn't that mean others can do it too, and so can I?
"But why is this different from what you said before? Weren't there only a few skills? I see so many moves here! Quick, Prince Huai, unleash your ultimate move! Whoosh, so flashy!"

A flash of white light, lines of black and white, and the Frog King opposite him collapsed to the ground.

A frog's head emerged from the swamp, waving a large anchor and angrily accusing someone of treachery.

The Frog King is invincible! There is absolutely no way he will fall!

boom!
On the Dragon Spirit Silk, the fallen Frog King, its blue bar full, let out a loud croak, bounced up from the ground, its belly bulging like a balloon, knocked Huai King away, and bounced Liang Qu back onto the edge of the frame, where it crashed heavily to the ground.

A chorus of frogs croaked.

The giant frog swung the anchor and shouted its approval.

The techniques used by both the King of Huai and the King of Frogs were clearly not any of those previously introduced.

The boys were puzzled, and He Hanyu and Fang Yanling both turned their heads.

Bathed in the gaze, Wen Shiyun puffed out her chest, a hint of smugness in her eyes.

"Because the previous and current versions are not the same game dream! The game being demonstrated now is called 'Hero Brawl,' and the character martial arts introduced are from 'Conquer the World.'"

The skills in 'Hero Brawl' are very diverse and require players to explore them on their own. They include small, medium, and ultimate skills, as well as the ability to block.

See the blue bar? Martial arts skills need to be accumulated before they can be unleashed. I feel it requires a higher level of skill, but the World Domination mode is more fun; ten people can play together.

"Wow, can we play?"

"I've never heard of it before."

The boys were eager to "control" the Martial Saint and wreak havoc on all sides.

"Sure, my master said he'll open up some spots so everyone can try it out. And it's not just for fun; the dream world this thing creates can even be used for cultivation and honing martial arts!"

"Constructing dreams to cultivate martial arts? The Mirage Clan has such an ability?" Everyone was greatly surprised.

"Of course, you can use the excuse of cultivation to have your parents buy a Mirage. My master said he would arrange it for me later."

The group of teenagers looked on with envy.

"Using something that can be used for cultivation for amusement, Prince Huai is being a bit too extravagant," Fang Yanling complained.

“Don’t talk nonsense. The Prince of Huai must have his reasons for doing this. He must have thought of it.” He Hanyu retorted.

"Hey, that's right, that's what makes my master so amazing! The Mirage Dragon has been gone for too long, and the Mirage Clan has suffered a great loss of vitality. Now, in the Jianghuai region, only a few dozen Mirage Clan members can be confirmed to be alive, and they are all being raised by the Turtle King."

"So little?" Everyone was surprised.

Scarcity increases value, and his parents certainly wouldn't buy it, even if it could improve his martial arts skills. His dream of purchasing the mirage worm was shattered.

"Yes, so before reaching a certain scale, you must first breed them. It's impossible to sell them if you don't have a certain number. The more you sell, the more difficult it becomes to breed them. You can only rent them out."

If you rent it, you need to spend ten days to half a month, or even hundreds of hours in your dreams to practice martial arts and engage in actual combat. Moreover, Tiger Hunting Grandmasters don't really need it, and Wolf Smoke Martial Masters prioritize cost-effectiveness and one-on-one combat, so they don't earn much.

On the contrary, at its current scale, used for entertainment, combined with the Dragon Spirit Silk, a single Mirage could attract thousands of ticket buyers! Earning thousands of taels for a single mist exhalation, would a Wolf Smoke Martial Master be willing to spend a thousand taels for a single dream cultivation session? In this way, the Mirages together wouldn't hinder their reproduction.” Wen Shiyun spoke eloquently.

The mountains stand tall.

Are there really geniuses in the world?

In the best-of-three series, the outcome gradually became clear on the Longlingxiao.

The Turtle King wins, the Huai King wins, the Eternal King wins, the Huai King wins, the Huai King wins.

"There's something fishy going on! All three Princes of Huai won?"

"Who filled in the mechanism and values?"

"Is it fair to compare minor moves to medium moves, medium moves to major moves, and major moves to instant kill?"

Master Beaver looked up, glancing left and right.

The giant frogs on the marsh are causing a ruckus, intending to attack the Yingchun Tree.

Benboerba hurriedly swished his tail: "Everyone, calm down, calm down. Thanks to the planner's balancing and design, everything is fair, there is no favoritism, and no one is stronger or weaker. There are only easy and difficult operations. There are always easy ones to learn. It's just that the disciples are not familiar with the new hero! It's not that the hero is not strong enough."

The swarming frogs paused for a moment.

Benboerba pressed his advantage: "Want your favorite hero to win? Want to control your favorite hero and defeat the opponent? Now, for just one or two coins, you can participate in a lucky draw and have a chance to win your dream!"
The grand prize is 1,000 taels for the champion, 500 taels for the runner-up, and 300 taels for the third place. Come and claim yours!

The big frogs patted their bellies.

silver?

What kind of silver?
Can you eat?
Umibozu flicked his eight tentacles: "I have plenty of silver reserves here."

"Cuck!"

The giant frogs swarmed forward.

By utilizing arcade games, which have a lower learning curve, everyone can understand what a gaming dream is and what kind of gaming dream it is, which has been very effective.

Liang Qu turned and gave the order.

All five screens simultaneously exited, transitioning to the second "dream".

Same heroes, same interface.

On the left and right sides, there are red and blue teams respectively, with five empty positions.

"Oh, oh, oh, now, please allow me to proudly introduce the highlight of this River God Festival: the first River God Competition! A five-on-five team competition! A battle for supremacy among heroes from all over the world!"

The winning team will permanently gain the right to use the five Mirage Clan members within Yingchun Tower!
