Chapter 800 Xiao Chengfeng: I Never Knew I Was So Awesome
‘Airplane chess? What’s that?’ Everyone was struck dumb, especially the people from the Shinto Pavilion. To them, Little Fox was as good as dead. It was obvious that the toy man was not someone to be messed with. After all, he was the controller of that Origins Pond of Holy Dimension. Saying that his game was boring was like putting a target on her own forehead. They thought she was a joke when she brought out the airplane chessboard.
However, the toy man did not kill Little Fox but set his eyes on the chessboard. He quickly read the rules of the game and then laughed even more happily.
“Huh? Interesting! This game’s indeed really fun!” The smile on his face was even bigger as he broke out in a dance. “Very well then! You didn’t lie to me. Let’s play this airplane chess of yours.”
He pointed at the chessboard and it immediately expanded until it became a map big enough for everyone to stand above it.
“Wow, it doesn’t take much to convince him, huh?”
“I know right? And what’s with this super huge board?”
“Who are these people? They’re so awesome! I’d never dare to negotiate with the Origins Pond of Holy Dimension.”
Everyone else was awestruck by all that happened, their brains filled with amazement and wonder while both Master Wind and Master Fire were so angry they nearly scratched out their own eyes. “This is completely different from the Origins Pond of Holy Dimension that we know. Could it be that this toy man was also seduced by her beauty?’
“The new game’s about to start, and I’ll act as the referee for this round of the game to ensure absolute fairness and justice. Everyone, get ready as soon as possible!” said the toy man solemnly. He then raised his hand and waved, causing everyone to fly up into the air. Then, each of them landed on their different take-off points.
The toy man chuckled and said, “Whoever reaches the finish line first can ask for any treasure. Besides that, there are surprises waiting for you along the way, so please, look forward to it!”
Little Fox pointed at the stunned Master Wind and Master Fire and suggested, “We should make them join, too. The more the merrier!”
Master Wind and Master Fire gasped and their skin crawled with fear.
“No, we don’t want to. You can’t make us since we’re not in the range of the dice!” said Master Wind uneasily as he quickly retreated with Master Fire.
However, the toy man raised his hand and the two of them were summoned back without any resistance. In no time, they were also standing on their take-off points obediently.
“Only I get to say who does or doesn’t get to join the game! This beauty said it well, the more the merrier!” said the toy man authoritatively.
Both Master Wind and Master Fire’s complexion turned ash-gray. Although the game had changed, they did not doubt that it would not be any easier. Suddenly, they recalled what Left Messenger said previously. They should have heeded her advice, she was the only one who truly understood the situation.
At that moment, Left Messenger had already escaped to a location thousands of miles from where she previously hid. Looking at the situation from afar, she could not help but shake her head and sigh. “It’s just as I expected. Nothing good ever comes out of tricking people. In fact, things will always backfire. It’s over for you. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
“The game officially begins!” The toy man laughed loudly, pointed at the young master of Ascension Sect, and said, “You’re first. Roll the dice!”
The young master of the Ascension Sect turned pale. While praying in his heart, he started to infuse the dice with his mana. After rolling the dice, it stopped at the number five.
“Five steps forward!” said the toy man, and the young master of Ascension Sect took off and flew five squares forward.
“You’re pleasantly surprised to find that there’s a wooden box here, and after you open it excitedly, you find that there’s an ancient world-destroying divine lightning bolt inside!” said the toy man.
The young master of Ascension Sect turned even paler. Trembling, he stared at the wooden box not far away. The wooden box opened by itself, and then, a ten-yard thick red lightning bolt burst out from it.
“Oh, no!” The young master of the Ascension Sect was so frightened that he became incoherent. After uttering the most desperate cry in his life, he was cut to the point that there was nothing left of him that was visible to the naked eye.
“Young Master!” roared the people from the Ascension Sect with both sadness and fright.
The others were too frightened to breathe. The game was too brutal. Even a half-step Wisdom Dictator would not be able to resist the divine lightning bolt, let alone the young master of the Ascension Sect.
“You’re next!” The toy man pointed at the deputy master of the Shinto Pavilion.
The deputy master took a deep breath and threw the dice bravely, which landed on the number three.
“Take three steps forward,” said the toy man. The deputy master rose into the air and landed in a mountain stream. He did not dare to be careless and quickly used enough mana to prepare for emergencies at any time. “Unfortunately, you entered the territory of the sky-devouring wyrm and woke it up from its slumber,” said the toy man.
A jet-black, scale-covered sky-devouring wyrm leaped out of the water and attacked the deputy master without a word. Being a third-step Wisdom Elite, the sky-devouring wyrm was very powerful, but it was still no match to the deputy master who was a half-step Wisdom Dictator. Soon, the wyrm was beheaded by him.
The deputy master breathed a sigh of relief and immediately felt fortunate that he survived.
“Next, it’s your turn.” The toy man turned his attention to Xiao Chengfeng.
Xiao Chengfeng’s heart was trembling, but he pretended to be calm and rolled the dice anyway. The same number landed.
“Take three steps forward,” said the toy man.
Xiao Chengfeng’s face immediately darkened when he landed on the square; his whole body was upright and his heart was beating wildly for in front of him was a sleeping fierce beast that had a blue face and sharp fangs. The world lost a little color with every breath this beast took. Its sense of oppression was not any weaker even in its slumber. A half-step Wisdom Dictator would not even dare to breathe in front of this invincible beast.
‘It’s over! I’m dead for sure!’ thought Xiao Chengfeng. He was so frightened that he could not even draw his sword while the others looked on as if waiting for the show to begin. If nothing else happened, he would become dead meat for sure.
However, the toy man then opened his mouth and said, “You encountered a sleeping origins-devouring lion in the wild. Fortunately, you didn’t surprise it and successfully stole its most highly-valued treasure. Please, choose.”
Various glowing treasures suddenly appeared above Xiao Chengfeng’s head, waiting for him to make a choice.
The people from the Shinto Pavilion were stunned.
The people from the Ascension Sect were stunned.
The people from the Heaven Plundering Alliance were stunned.
Even Xiao Chengfeng was stunned.
‘Wow, I never knew I was so awesome. Do I dare to steal a treasure from a beast like this one?!’
