Chapter 328: Chapter 323 Tang Qi’s Reputation (2nd update, asking for monthly tickets!)

Tang Qi’s next stop was Secret Phoenix City, which ranks as a “metropolis” even within the Federation.

However, Sally couldn’t immediately follow him.

Neither could the entire Merada Witch Group follow Tang Qi.

Under the leadership of Esmeralda, the witches, including Sally, collectively entered the “Secret Realm”. Beyond needing to heal and restore their power, they primarily aimed to help Sally stabilize the vast Magic Power within her.

But he wasn’t traveling alone.

Accompanying him to Secret Phoenix City were a fool and a mysterious ordinary Human.

“They are classmates!”

Tang Qi turned and emphasized to Jason.

“Right, classmates, classmates, I believe you.”

While Jason joked with a wink, he asked the third question.

“What does it feel like to have a title in the Extraordinary World of Secret Phoenix State? Young Polymath, genius Artifact Forger, eloquent Demigod Slayer, and what was the other thing…”

“Lucky man!”

Before Jason could recall Tang Qi’s last title, Rafael suddenly interjected.

His face was serious, but that didn’t stop Tang Qi from wanting to cast an Illusion Spell on him.

Sure enough, those who mingle with Jason are inevitably corrupted.

However, they weren’t wrong. Because of his “extraordinary performance” that night, Tang Qi became famous in one battle.

He didn’t even have to make a serious move, but thanks to the narrative spread by the surviving Wild Transcendents and subsequently recognized by both the Ancient Castle Bureau and the Church, the name Tang Qi began spreading along with other powerful Transcendents in the Mysterious Side World of Secret Phoenix State.

Those titles, all belonged to Tang Qi.

The most widespread among them was the “Young Polymath” outside of his lucky title.

Polymath, because Tang Qi revealed Extraordinary secrets no one else knew, even involving incredibly ancient knowledge like the “Profanity Blood Curse”.

This title even began to spread outside of Secret Phoenix State.

Many Transcendents knew that in Secret Phoenix State, there is a very young “Polymath” whose knowledge even reached beyond the Dark Age to the Age of Ignorance; if there were unsolvable mysteries related to Ancient Gods or Evil Gods, perhaps they could consult him.

For these rumors, Tang Qi was delighted.

Apart from helping him conceal his identity as a “Melter Wizard”, having the additional title of Polymath sometimes brought unexpected benefits. In the Mysterious Side, knowledge is especially precious, and even evil chaotic Extraordinary Forces wouldn’t kill a Polymath unless absolutely necessary.

Beyond these titles, the impact of that night…

Another point was that the name Tang Qi had now been marked by various official organizations as well as the Bright Church.

Unless something unexpected happened, he would no longer be able to move as freely as before in his true identity.

Fortunately, his gains were not small.

Setting aside the progress in Meditation Method and various Skills, as well as previously acquired Transformation Secret Medicine formulas, a vast number of books, and some odds and ends Curios.

The real shock was attracting many eyes, including the continued interest of both the Ancient Castle Bureau and the Church in one Curios.

Diana’s Corpse!

That was Tang Qi’s biggest gain from this trip.

A corpse that devoured all Divinity including the Immortal Earl, its Level was directly from “Demigod Level”.

Originally, it would have been extremely difficult for Tang Qi to possess it.

Even though he had acted first, and even though he had almost singlehandedly averted that disaster.

Ultimately, several factors allowed Tang Qi to secure it.

First, through joint detection by the Ancient Castle Bureau and the Church, the power inside the corpse was stable, and its Camp leaned towards Order, the chance of it suddenly unleashing a greater disaster was very small.

Second, the corpse seemed to have recognized its master, as for some unclear reason, it was highly bound to Tang Qi, and unless Tang Qi was killed, it couldn’t be forcibly used.

Third, after that night, Tang Qi was no longer a “Wild Transcendent”.

Now, Tang Qi was recognized as the “Master” by the collective witches.

Because of Esmeralda, because Sally was the next leader, Tang Qi indeed miraculously held a force, a “frail” force.

In the major event of the Immortal Count, the fallen strong included two Demigod Level figures, the Earl and Merada, as well as the Immortal Council, the Seven Ancestor Alliance, and dozens of Wild Transcendents. Compared to them, the witches, who only lost their Divinity, were incredibly lucky.

In fact, for the Merada Witch Group, losing their Divinity might even be considered a good thing.

They no longer had to worry about curses; they just needed to start anew.

Divinity is indeed immensely powerful, but for the witches, knowledge is more important.

This is something that the centuries-old Witch Group did not lack.

It wouldn’t take long for the Merada Witch Group to become an unstoppable powerful force in the Mysterious Side of Secret Phoenix State.

However, before Esmeralda could restore her power, her position would be filled by Tang Qi.

That position was that of a… Principal.

This was Tang Qi’s purpose for the trip—he was no longer a high-school student but had suddenly become a Principal.

Putting aside the strange shift in status, Tang Qi’s title as “Polymath” fitted quite well with the Principal role.

Given the uniqueness of that school, and its location within Secret Phoenix City, both the Ancient Castle Bureau and the Church recognized Tang Qi’s possession of “Diana’s Corpse”.

As for this Curio, what kind of effect does it actually possess?

Tang Qi doesn’t say, and the others have no way of knowing.

In fact, Tang Qi himself only knows a part of it.

Because Diana’s corpse is still “Transforming.”

Divinity is not an easily digestible power, even if it is the corpse of an Immortal.

Immortals, Divinity, Life Spell… The combination of these three has put the corpse into an unknowable transformation state.

In this state, the surging Information Fragments, although vast, are chaotic and hard to clearly discern.

Only two things can be confirmed:

The corpse is very strong!

Tang Qi is the master!

…

Jason didn’t ask the fourth question, because a black-coated waiter came up and brought over the drinks and snacks he had ordered earlier.

Then, not waiting for Jason to move first, a bright-red big tongue appeared at lightning speed, swept away all the food on the table, leaving behind a dumbstruck Jason staring at the empty table.

Obviously, jesters recognize jesters from afar.

Gluttony and Jason, both possessing a “Magic Pocket,” so the two naturally hit it off and played together.

Jason pulled out various Demon specialties from his own “Tilos Magic Bag,” — as a Species that loves nature and possesses various extraordinary Skills, Tilos Monsters are naturally outstanding in culinary arts, the Extraordinary Food he took out greatly satisfied Gluttony.

In return, Gluttony gave Jason a signal, indicating it wanted to treat him too.

That bright-red tongue retracted back into the suitcase and when it emerged again, it had already scooped up a steaming bowl of meat soup.

Clearly, Gluttony is not only a joking masochist, but also because it has stayed with Tang Qi for so long, it has imperceptibly picked up a bit of his tricky essence.

Delicious meat soup!

The moment this unknown ingredient-based meat soup appeared, an enchanting scent wafted out. If Tang Qi hadn’t cast an “Illusion Spell” earlier at their location, this scent would have been enough to attract everyone in the VIP room.

It was an extremely tempting aroma that made one’s mouth dry and tongue thirsty.

As it was served, even Rafael, who had been focusing on reading reports, lifted his head and swallowed.

Tang Qi transmitted a commendatory thought to Gluttony, promising to feed it more Melting Furnace Power before boarding the plane.

Meanwhile, seeing Rafael resisting his instincts and looking over puzzled, Tang Qi curved the corners of his mouth and shook his head slightly at Rafael.

Then he kindly explained to Jason, “This is a precious collection from Gluttony, delicious meat soup!”

“It’s made from the meat of a Three-eyed Plate Sheep Young Beast, three Onion Dwarfs, the tuber root of strange fragrant grass, the milk of a Minotaur Monster, Snow Mountain Water… all cooked together into an Extraordinary Cooking dish, and the key is, after consuming it, it has some positive effects, like enhancing your strength.”

“It seems, Gluttony really likes you.”

After Tang Qi finished, Jason’s face, initially slightly hesitant, immediately burst into a joyous smile.

If he had a tail, it would be wagging right now.

Because he has Tilos Monster blood in him, as long as the other is not an Extraordinary Creature from the Evil Chaotic Camp, he instinctively feels some affection.

Never imagining he would be trapped by a pocket Curio.

With the kind explanation from master Tang Qi, Jason unguardedly lifted the soup.

Head up, mouth open, in the “gulp~gulp” sounds, the remaining more than half a bowl of “delicious meat soup” completely entered Jason’s stomach.

“Bang”

The moment he put the bowl down, he saw the curious eyes of Tang Qi and Rafael, along with Gluttony beginning to look for escape routes.

Tang Qi, Rafael, and the Night Beast peeking through the shadows.

Especially the Night Beast, the little guy was the only victim before Jason.

Now with a second one, it couldn’t be more excited.

The stared-at Jason first burped satisfactorily and just smiled saying, “Why are you all looking at me…”

“Boom~”

Here comes the effect of the delicious meat soup.

Under Tang Qi and others’ watchful eyes, Jason’s face, originally a handsome fair face, quickly reddened as if starting from the top of his head, bit by bit downwards, his facial features began to scrunge together, squeezing into a clump as if feeling an indescribable taste.

Rumbling sounds came from his stomach, his stomach and other digestive organs all voiced their protest.

“Hisss~”

In a blink, Jason was sweating profusely, steam rising from his head. Each bit of steam that came out left him more wilted, until after all was released, a once lively and hopping Demon Hunter, just like the previous Night Beast, collapsed limply on the chair.

His gaze shifted between Tang Qi and Gluttony, his mouth slightly moving, seemingly unsure which of the two to start scolding.

Until Tang Qi restrained his smile a bit and said, “Experience it, Jason, it certainly enhanced your strength.”

After calming for a moment, Jason struggled to stand up.

Hearing that, he silently felt his body, and then astonishingly said, “Huh? It actually is true.”

“Of course, my words are always true, with extremely good credibility, many people can attest to it.”

As Tang Qi said this, both Gluttony and the Night Beast in the shadows, along with Rafael, involuntarily twitched at the corner of their mouths. The two little guys who had stayed with Tang Qi knew all too well the so-called good credibility of their master.

And Rafael had noticed it before Jason drank the soup, Tang Qi deliberately ignored the taste while explaining.
