Chapter 133: Not A Demon Descendant
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
At 5:00 A.M., Lightning King sat in the office. The sky was blue outside the window and the sun was beginning to rise. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked down to browse the mission report from the Changsha branch.
Half an hour ago, he was woken up by the head of the Changsha branch. The old man said a major accident had happened on the mission. As there were too many people involved in the case and some of them were even members of the great families, they were difficult to deal with.
Lightning King got dressed, got up and went straight to the office. He was over fifty years old and had no children. He had been living in the company as he was all alone.
The content of the mission report could be described as utterly shocking. During his mission, the God of Apes was besieged by the remnant members of the Ancient Gods Clan: Golden Boy and Jade Girl. He was seriously wounded and on the verge of death.
The vanguard team was besieged by casual practitioners and some members of the great families, losing more than half of the team.
They did not manage to obtain the Demonic Priest’s relic.
In this battle, the God of War lost his arm and was severely wounded, two out of three swords of the Demonic Priest’s inheritor was shattered and he was half-disabled. Black Robe of Ancient Gods Clan died in battle, White Robe and Blood Devil were caught while escaping. The God of War and Li Peiyun were on the run, and the search team was still tracking them. They were not yet arrested.
The good news was that the price paid by the Ancient Gods Clan was also rather high, equivalent to losing three generals overnight. As for the God of War, it would be a surprise if they could capture him but it was normal if they were to fail. That level of master was not easily caught.
Moreover, the Demonic Priest’s inheritor was half-disabled. Even if it was mentioned in the mission report that he had succeeded in obtaining the Demonic Priest’s relic, a half-disabled Demonic Priest’s inheritor did not pose much of a threat. The growth potential had fallen exponentially.
In addition, the company arrested the Golden Boy and Jade Girl. These two old monsters had always been notorious in committing crimes in the demon descendants community for many years. It was an unexpected joy that they were captured this time and could also rectify the culture of the demon descendants community.
In addition, more than 150 casual practitioners besieged Baoze during the mission, which was 2/3 of the total number. Whether these people should be killed or imprisoned hinged on Lightning King’s discretion.
In the mission report, a guy could be described as the VIP. Overcoming many casual practitioners, turning the tide at the critical moment, defeating the God of War, disabling the Demonic Priest’s inheritor and saving the God of Apes. He was the epitome of showing off his badassery.
However, Lightning King could tell that something was amiss with one glance. No one knew Li Xianyu’s situation better than him.
A senior employee can easily press him on the ground and wreck him, let alone the God of War and the Demonic Priest’s inheritor. How did such a novice accomplish all these? By the way, the mission was almost screwed again.
It was not that members of Baoze Group had not screwed up before, but because it was rare to screw up so frequently. Lightning King thought about it. Including Sanliban Village and this mission to get the Demonic Priest’s relic, Li Xianyu participated in both tasks, and both missions were screwed up.
Everyone almost died in the previous mission and this almost happened again.
Does this guy have a passive ability? Were they not joking when they said he was a trouble magnet in the group chat?
Just like how Lady Killer had both active and passive abilities, it made perfect sense that Li Xianyu also had a passive ability.
There was no scientific basis for the so-called disaster magnet physique, but the abilities of demon descendants were so strange that they cannot be explained scientifically.
For example, there was a female employee of the company and her apparent ability was “gravity”, but she also had a passive ability: attracting men who were scum.
All the men she dated all turned out to be scum. Even if they were not scum, they slowly became one once she liked them. Who would believe this?
Last year, she was prepared to like the big boss and was beaten up by the company’s female colleagues. The big boss was certainly not a scumbag. The female colleagues were worried she would inflict the curse on the big boss.
Although Lightning King was curious and confused, he considered that Li Xianyu was also seriously injured and unconscious. Lightning King did not dare to call the Unparalleled War Spirit and suppressed the doubt in his heart for the time being.
He got up and left the office, pushed open the door of Conference Room One with his access card. He switched on the equipment skilfully and ask to connect to the big boss.
A few minutes later, the other party agreed to his connection request. A blue beam was projected from the ceiling projector, showing the boss in pajamas. He held a cup of coffee and quietly looked at him.
“Boss, something unexpected happened during the mission to obtain the Demonic Priest’s relic.” Lightning King described the mission process in detail. “We lost five senior employees, and even the God of Apes almost died. Since the battle with the Ancient Gods Clan, the company has never suffered so much losses before.” Lightning King remarked in anguish.
The boss in pajamas sighed. “They were all heroes. Send the obituaries to mourn our heroes.”
“If we can’t get rid of the Ancient Gods Clan, they will always be a serious threat, boss.” Lightning King wanted to speak more but stopped.
“You mean, why didn’t I kill the God of War myself?”
“Yes. If so, we can reduce a lot of casualties,” Lightning King said. Even though he respected and worshiped the big boss, it was inevitable that he had complaints.
Ever since he destroyed the Ancient Gods Clan, the big boss lived in seclusion and withdrew from the demon descendants community. There was no record of him taking action again.
“Remember the genetic modification program for demon descendants a while ago?” The big boss sighed. “I did an experiment on myself and my gene chain almost collapsed. I barely survived.”
Lightning King was stunned. “You… You are too rash.”
“I know what I’m doing.” The big boss smiled and said, “Besides, that’s my gift for San Wu, and it’s also a test for her. Don’t you see that after that incident, San Wu’s cultivation began to stagnate?”
“But San Wu is not the God of War’s opponent, and the accident in Sanliban Village is enough to prove that San Wu can only rely on the help of outsiders to take revenge. Not to mention that you also said that she has become stagnant.” Lightning King was not optimistic about the puppet girl.
“Hatred and anger are the two greatest forces. She will never be happy for the rest of her life without killing the God of War herself.”
“Alright.” Lightning King could only accept. “Anyway, the God of War broke one arm and was seriously injured. The remaining members of the Ancient Gods Clan suffered heavy losses. In a short period of time, they cannot afford to cause more chaos. Speaking of which, in the recent confrontation with the Ancient Gods Clan, we have dealt a heavy blow to the God of War twice. This has never happened in the past.”
The disaster magnet constitution had his merits too. He dealt 1000 damage to the enemies and 800 damage to himself, screwing over both teammates and enemies.
The big boss changed the subject. “Well… If I remember correctly, the Li family descendent should have just awakened, and his combat power on this mission was extremely unusual.”
“I don’t understand either. I have to wait for them to come back or submit a mission report when he wakes up.”
“Lightning King, you do seem particularly slow sometimes. No wonder you have been ridiculed and bullied by your fellow seniors and juniors for so many years.” The big boss sighed. “Since it has nothing to do with the Unparalleled War Spirit, it must be his own creation.”
“What creation can person who is new to the demon descendants community have? There are only two possibilities. One is that the item Li Wuxiang brought out of the Great Deities Palace at that time has finally surfaced. The other possibility is that his changes have something to do with the Demonic Priest.”
“If this outburst is normal, it is a good thing. If not, it will also have other benefits. Tsk. He has the Unparalleled War Spirit accompanying him, his father’s regret, and he might have even obtained the Demonic Priest’s relic. He is the chosen one indeed.” The man in the beam sighed with emotion.
Lightning King snarked internally. You are no different.
“I have a hunch that the Great Deities Palace is about to open. I was investigating the Great Deities Palace some time ago and got a shocking message.” The big boss said exasperatedly, “Only demon descendants can enter the Great Deities Palace.”
He might as well not say it. The Great Deities Palace was the legacy of the ancient demons. Of course, only demon descendants with the genes of the ancient demon could enter. If ordinary people entered, it was no different from courting death. But Lightning King knew that the big boss is actually not a demon descendant.
There were no more than three people in the world who knew this secret.
Even if the secret was made public, no one would believe it. But if all the records of the big boss taking action was accounted for, it could be concluded that he had never used his powers in front of anyone.
There was speculation that the ability of Baoze Group’s Big Boss was that of an auxiliary class, or it was so unique that it has not been discovered. But in fact, this man had no superpowers from the beginning. He had relied on an insanely good talent at qi cultivation to improve. He had relied on his mortal body to outrank most of the demon descendants who possessed the genes of ancient demons.
Thus, the big boss liked to study Taoist classics and Buddhist Dharma mind techniques. He was well-versed in lightning and thunder, and concocted golden pills. He also practiced the Golden Body and zen techniques. Through this, he became a freak that took control of the demon descendants community as a mere human.
It was because he wasn’t a demon descendant that he thought about genetic modification. It was so that he could turn himself into a demon descendant. But that was clearly not the power that mortals should possess.
“Now you know why I wanted to awaken the Unparalleled War Spirit. Once the Great Deities Palace opens, not only domestic demon descendants, foreign forces will flock to it. They will be unstoppable and the ten gods of Baoze ten gods are not enough. We need a supreme master who can command the scene. I can’t summon that old bald donkey , Buddha Head, and he’s not from our company. The Unparalleled War Spirit is the best choice.”
“Although she is subject to the Black Water Spirit Beads and is sealed heavily, but at the critical moment, if she is willing to activate her spiritual power, she will have no problem ascending to Gokudo status.”
The big boss said, “Due to the alliance, I can’t kill foreign demon descendants outside the Great Deities Palace. The archaeological sites of ancient demons are all over the world, and if we do so, so will others. The rules still have to be followed.”
At present, there were three archaeological sites of ancient demons in the world which were known, one of which was in China. But many people believed that there were definitely more than three archaeological sites of the ancient demon. It was just that no one knew where they were.
