Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 1201 - 1201 1187 Fusion

Chapter 1201: Chapter 1187: Fusion Chapter 1201: Chapter 1187: Fusion What Ye Chen said earlier, she hadn’t heard from Li Mo and the Black Demonic Spirit. How could Li Mo and the Black Demonic Spirit know those things? They were Ye Chen’s true feelings.

“For this trip to Sacred Spirit Island, you should stay behind,” Ye Chen said.

“Why should I stay behind? Are you afraid I’ll cling to you?” Nangong Yan didn’t want to miss out, feeling that their days together were becoming fewer. She had to cherish them to avoid future regrets.

“I don’t find you troublesome. It’s just that this time, it’s very dangerous.”

“What do you mean, ‘dangerous’? I must go. You think I don’t know? If I don’t accompany you, there will be no one to watch over you. You can flirt around all you want. For Guo Yuyun’s sake, I must keep an eye on you.”

Ye Chen laughed and said, “If I really wanted to flirt, you watching over me wouldn’t make any difference.”

Nangong Yan ate a spicy mutton skewer and nodded continuously, thinking it tasted just right while gasping for breath.

“I’m really worried about the danger.”

“Xiyue Island was dangerous, yet I came back unharmed.”

“You girl, why are you so stubborn?”

“Compared to your Yun’er, am I more stubborn or is she?” It seemed that girls innately liked to compare more than boys.

Ye Chen quickly said, “Hey, why must you compare with her? And over stubbornness at that? Stubbornness isn’t exactly a compliment. Comparing yourself to others leads to the envied turning into the envious. You have your qualities, she has hers; there’s no need for comparisons.”

But the envy suddenly fermented, and she felt the urge to compare.

It seemed impossible to persuade this headstrong girl now. When she got stubborn, she really was on par with Yun’er, practically identical.

Ye Chen ate a couple of bites of noodles.

However, Nangong Yan said, “Dumplings taste better, really. You should try the dumplings first; you might lose interest in the noodles.”

“Since you say so, why did you even order beef noodles?” While Ye Chen picked up his chopsticks and ate the vinegar-dipped dumplings, he had to admit that the sour and sweet flavors of the meat filling, set off by the vinegar, blended perfectly.

“See, wasn’t I right?”

“It’s alright, I guess.”

“I always used to like coming out to have a meal of dumplings. I love the taste, it’s really wonderful.”

Ye Chen also ate some grilled skewers.

The night grew deeper.

“You’re quite cute when you’re not being so stubborn,” he said.

“Don’t think you can leave me behind. This time I must participate,” Nangong Yan declared.

“There you go, getting stubborn again, like a cow that won’t be pulled back,” he said.

“Right, that’s me. I’m like this, unchangeable. What about it?”

“Hey, you don’t need to get angry with me.”

“I’m not trying to get angry with you,” Nangong Yan said coldly.

Ye Chen knew he couldn’t pull her back. She didn’t even listen to her own father; who could bring her back? He said, “We should take back two portions of dumplings for Ouyang Yue to try as well.”

“Maybe she went to bed early and isn’t waiting for you. She has been very busy lately.”

Ye Chen continued eating dumplings. Although this was a deserted island, they had a plentiful supply of food and didn’t give off the feeling of isolation, which must mean the people here managed it very well.

Qiandu Xiang received news that Shao Hengjiang had arrived at Immortal Medicine Island, and the people of the island were beginning to take action.

Some of his subordinates were nervous; it had been over a month since Nangong Yao was supposed to come with the Sacred Spirit Stone, and many were uncertain whether they could withstand the Sacred Spirit Stone’s power.

Qiandu Xiang knew that recently Ouyang Yue, that cunning girl, had been spreading word that those who surrendered would be treated leniently. They were trying to shatter the will to fight of the Sacred Spirit Sect. If they didn’t discuss this soon and give some confidence to their people, he feared some might be tempted. He quickly summoned the key leaders, including the local bigwigs who had just arrived.

The local bigwigs had received Qiandu Xiang’s care upon arriving at Sacred Spirit Island. After all, he owed them a life debt, and he couldn’t just ignore them, especially now when he was in dire need of manpower.

After the struggle over the Spiritual Stone on Xiyue Island, the Sacred Spirit Sect had suffered serious losses. Any reinforcements were crucial.

About a dozen people came, including Hai Jingtian, Baili He, the local bigwig Liu An, Yang Zuotai, and the short and stout Ma Zi, among others.

They had all heard that Immortal Medicine Island and the Sacred Spirit Sect were going to take action, probably within the next couple of days.

Qiandu Xiang had finally confirmed that the person responsible for the Sacred Spirit Stone was Ye Chen. He had suspected early on that Nangong Yao would likely entrust Ye Chen with the Sacred Spirit Stone.

As for Nangong Yao’s martial arts skills, Qiandu Xiang was well aware of them and didn’t think highly of him. Nangong Yao lacked the ability to control the Sacred Spirit Stone. As for Shao Hengjiang, he was indeed capable, but his old injuries had flared up again. If he took time to heal and study the situation, it would probably waste most of their time—and as expected, they set their sights on those youngsters.

The atmosphere in the grand hall was very serious. Everyone was waiting for Qiandu Xiang to speak. He knew what these guys were thinking; they wanted to know if he was confident enough to succeed. If not, they were ready to go their separate ways.

These guys were all the same. There was no helping it; that’s just how the world works. Sharing in good fortune is easy, but sharing hardships is easier said than done. How could he possibly expect any of them to lay down their lives for him?

Clearing his throat, Qiandu Xiang spoke up, “Good, good, I was actually hoping they would come. I’ve been thinking about how to snatch the Sacred Spirit Stone and the Wolf King’s Ring. It seems the opportunity has arrived.” He had to give those people confidence. Even if he wasn’t certain, he had to say so, otherwise, these fellows would definitely waver.

The short and stout Ma Zi looked at Qiandu Xiang with a skeptical expression. Was this guy just full of hot air? Boasting such big talk without even presenting a plan, and already thinking about the Sacred Spirit Stone and Wolf King’s Ring. He said, “Sect Leader, I heard that Shao Hengjiang will bring everyone with him, and Nangong Yao will do the same, preparing seven or eight ships.”

“I just hope he does exactly that, so we don’t have to deal with them one by one, wasting time. If we could stew them all together, it would save us a lot of trouble.”

This guy, always blurting out nonsense. Who knows if he’s really that formidable? The squat Ma Zi spoke up, “Sect Leader, I think it’s better to clarify the plan. When the time comes, how are we going to deal with the Sacred Spirit Stone? That kid’s Wolf King’s Ring is already powerful enough, and with the Sacred Spirit Stone, are we really able to resist?”

It was obvious the other was lacking in confidence. Qiandu Xiang said, “Alright, I’ll analyze it for you, why they won’t be our match. There are three reasons. The first is that they let that kid handle the Sacred Spirit Stone, which is their biggest mistake to their failure.”

Everyone was stunned. The squat Ma Zi was worried about this very thing, yet the guy above had said that this was their biggest reason for failure. He began to doubt whether Qiandu Xiang had been drinking.

Seeing the lack of confidence in those below him, Qiandu Xiang said, “Don’t believe me? Then I’ll explain it more clearly. Yes, the kid’s martial arts are indeed great, and he also has the power of the Wolf King’s Ring, controlling the Sacred Spirit Stone. But don’t forget, the kid once had an episode in Bell and Drum City and almost went mad from the surge of force, because of this, he didn’t dare to use this power in several encounters with me, except for that time when we were fighting over the Sacred Spirit Stone. He feared I’d snatch away the ring, so he used the magic power.”

“But I’m absolutely certain that he could lose control at any moment; he must be well aware of this.”

Yang Zuotai was also feeling a bit defiant and said, “But they dare to entrust this task to him, which means they are confident. Everyone knows that Shao Hengjiang and Nangong Yao are experienced and wouldn’t just casually entrust such an important matter to someone prone to madness, unless they were very confident.”

Qiandu Xiang nodded slightly and said, “Right, they might help him, make him better, stabilize the Demonic Spirit inside him a bit. But that’s just an adjustment; it won’t solve the fundamental problem. There’s a limit, and he’ll definitely go mad from the surge of force eventually. Everyone knows that the Sacred Spirit Stone has the energy of Pangu creating heaven and earth. To completely control such power in one month is utterly impossible. There will be a threshold, and once he reaches this peak, he won’t be able to control it, which could trigger the magic power backlash in his body, ultimately leading him to madness again.”

The squat Ma Zi sneered, “I think they’re well aware of this too. They also know there’s a threshold, but they don’t need to reach this peak— we won’t be able to handle it anymore. How can we still force the opponent to the point of madness?”

Everyone felt that the squat Ma Zi made a lot of sense. Using magic power to boost the Sacred Spirit Stone’s strength, without even unleashing all of its power, no one would be able to withstand it.

Qiandu Xiang smiled and said, “That’s precisely the second point I was about to mention. I’ve drawn magic and evil forces to possess me, and I’ve successfully merged with the Moon Beast. I shall use the might of the Moon Beast, and when it comes to battle, I will push the intensity to a level he can’t possibly reach, eventually leading him to madness.”

The others were dumbfounded, unable to believe whether this was true. Just one month, and he could merge with the Moon Beast? How was that possible? Could he be just braggling? They all thought the same, and he was even summoning evil and magic forces— did this guy have a death wish? One kind of force was enough to devour him, yet he was facing two.

Qiandu Xiang knew they were doubting whether he was boasting and smiled, “I won’t hide it from you, I’ve been researching the fusion of man and beast for many years now. The original subject wasn’t the Moon Beast, but controlling the Phoenix Monster. I had significant achievements back then, and on that basis, I’ve managed to merge with the Moon Beast. Without that foundation, it wouldn’t be possible for me to merge with the Moon Beast in just one short month. Everyone knows how violent and uncontrollable the Moon Beast can be. But fortunately, with the years of research by Baili He, I succeeded, and just two days ago, at that.”

Those people were skeptical, unsure whether what the opponent was saying was true or false.
