MMORPG: Divine Monster Transmuter

Lin Hu was Jiang Feng’s best friend and they grew up together.

After his father disappeared, he had also disappeared along with his father.

The reason he came back was to help the Animal Arena in their time of need.

With his father’s help, Lin Hu had also managed to forge a powerful faction of his own.

All the cities around Suhai City had his territories.

When he came over this time, he brought around 400 men, and all of them did not fear death.

He was the one charging ahead with a gun in his hand and firing at the elites once he had entered the Animal Arena.

After the initial strafe, around forty of them had fallen onto the ground and could no longer get back up.

Xuanyuan Kai then turned and looked at Lin Hu and the hundreds of people that he had brought here, and then said to several grandmasters with a sour face, “Kill them first!”

Whoosh!

Just as Xuanyuan Kai was distracted, Xiaohuang suddenly jumped out despite the blood still dripping from his mouth and swiped at him with his claw.

“Hmph!” Xuanyuan Kai snorted coldly and gave him a slam in the stomach, throwing him away.

“Gah…”

After getting struck another time, Xiaohuang’s innards had all been shattered as he was thrown to the ground next to Chou Ox.

“Cough… Are you… alright?” Chou Ox coughed up a mouthful of blood as he looked at Xiaohuang, who was lying next to him.

Xiaohuang tried to open his eyes and took out his last Enhancing Pill with great difficulty. He took a look at Chou Ox and cracked the pill in half, then swallowed one half. He then gave the other half to Chou Ox.

Next, he collapsed on the ground and looked to the sky. ‘Boss, I did my best!’

The injury that Chou Ox suffered was not that grievous in the first place. After taking half the Enhancing Pill, he used the power contained within it to help him break through the bottleneck that was formed when he had reached peak master, and advanced to the level of low-level grandmaster!

“Ah!”

Chou Ox could feel the injuries within his body healing themselves, and there was a power that kept on rising from his abdomen. He roared out as he stood up suddenly, his clothes ripped apart, showing his powerful muscles, and he rammed into a peak master man in black close by.

“Baji Fist!”

He was extremely fast, and he sent the man in black flying through the air after ramming into him.

The man in black that was thrown into the air crashed into around seven or eight other men in black and was no longer breathing after he closed his eyes. It was a testament to the power of Chou Ox’s attack.

Baji Fist was known for its focus on power, simplicity, and speed.

As Baji Fist’s style was all about strength, simplicity, explosive power, and carried the force of “a strike from the shoulder could make the Heaven fall, a stomp of the foot could make all nine states shake.” That was also why there was a poem saying that “the scholarship of Taiji can bring peace to the world, while the martial power of Baji can hold the world together.”

It was extremely difficult to master Baji Fist to the point of minor completion.

They needed to use their flesh and bones to keep on ramming into tough objects and to train their bodies so that they could become impossibly strong. Normal people could not even endure it, and some of them would even die from the training.

For Chou Ox to be able to succeed, it proved that he had great talents.

“Hm? Baji Fist that is close to major completion? The Animal Arena really is full of surprises!” When Xuanyuan Kai saw the power that Chou Ox had shown, he was stunned at first, and then he let out a cold smile and rushed toward Chou Ox.

Boom!

When Chou Ox saw Xuanyuan Kai attacking him. The inner chi that exploded in his body formed a chi shield and he rammed into Xuanyuan Kai. The moment he crashed into Xuanyuan Kai, there was a huge shockwave.

“Gah…”

Chou Ox’s body was sent flying away as he coughed out a mouthful of blood.

Xuanyuan Kai was not feeling that well either. After being crushed by such powerful force, his chi shield instantly shattered as he took a few steps back.

The attack was even more terrifying than Xiaohuang, who was a mid-level grandmaster.

“Die!”

Xuanyuan Kai was enraged at the disgrace of being forced backward by a low-level grandmaster, and he rushed toward Chou Ox.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

He threw several punches at Chou Ox. No matter how powerful Chou Ox’s body was, he still could not block the attacks of someone from the level of a high-level grandmaster and fell into a pool of his own blood.

***

Bang! Bang!

Outside of the Animal Arena, Lin Hu was leading a group of his men and fighting those at the level of masters.

While he himself had reached mid-level master, it was still difficult for him to fight against so many master-level opponents. It was not long before his followers started dropping dead.

No matter how fast bullets were, they could not hit the masters that were moving swiftly.

That was why it did not take long before his four hundred men had been reduced to about a hundred, and many of them were already injured.

Normal people were in the end, still normal people. Even with guns, they were just a normal person with a gun.

No matter how powerful they were, they could not defeat the Ancient Martial Artists who were experts in melee combat and could freely traverse through any terrain.

Twenty minutes had passed.

Most of the people that were still standing up were the men in black.

Xiaohuang had fallen, Yin Tiger had fallen, Chou Ox had fallen, and so did Lin Hu who dared to support them during the attack. He too had fallen after being pincer-attacked by the elites.

Xuanyuan Kai captured all of them and looked around.

Out of the 500 men he brought, only around 200 were left.

Not to mention that the 200 that had died were all masters. It would be very difficult to even raise one, and now he had lost 200 of them.

Despite their victory, they had also paid a steep price for it.

When he saw that, Xuanyuan Kai became extremely furious. His eyes were locked onto the Animal Arena’s upper management that was still struggling against them in their final moments.

Xuanyuan Kai narrowed his eyes and then commanded coldly, “Kill them all. Let none survive!”

In the next moment, several masters raised the guns in their hands and aimed at Xiaohuang and the other survivors.

“Hahaha…”

Just as Chou OX was about to die, he suddenly started laughing as he looked at the blood-soaked Animal Arena. He looked at his comrades and his old friends around him that used to laugh and chat with him that had already died, and a tear began to flow down his cheek.

Deng. Deng. Deng.

Just as the masters were going to fire, sounds of a guitar could be heard and they were all stunned as they looked at where the guitar sound was from.

They then saw a little girl playing a guitar, walking out of the Animal Arena.

She was walking extremely slowly as her eyes looked in front of her without blinking. If one were to look at her carefully, one would notice that her eyes were unfocused. Proof that she was blind.

“Qianqian*!”

T/L Note: Yes, same name (also same Chinese characters) as Han Qianqian, Canaan’s HR manager. But obviously, a different person.

Chou Ox turned around and looked at the little girl, and he could not help but sob as his tears flowed freely.

“Outside the long pavilion, along the ancient route, fragrant green grass joins the sky!”

The little girl walked over to where Chou Ox was, opened her mouth, and began singing.

“The evening wind caressing willow trees, the sound of the flute piercing the heart, sunset over mountains beyond mountains…”

Chou Ox and all the other survivors began to sing.

The Farewell Song was a song that Xuanyuan Minrou had taught them when they were still little.

Every time when one of their siblings passed away or left, they would play this song.

The enemies were too strong. If they could hang on for a little bit more so that the other elites from the other Animal Arenas could come and support them, they might still have a chance to fight back. But it was clear that it was no longer possible. Because they had no more strength to fight back.

The slow song soothed the pain that Chou Ox and the others were suffering from, and a faint smile appeared on all of their faces.

“Kill them!”

Not only did the song not warm Xuanyuan Kai’s heart, but it also made him feel that he was being looked down on. And that was why he did not hesitate to once again repeat his kill order!

Bang! Bang!

Then, there was a string of gunshots. But the ones firing were not from Xuanyuan Kai’s side.

The gunshots were from outside of the Animal Arena, and dozens of masters had been killed with bullets penetrating the back of their heads, and they fell down onto the ground.

“The Xuanyuan family has shown so much impudence! How dare you attack my in-laws within Jingdu City? It seems that you really don’t care what I, Ling Yuntian, have to say!”
