Chapter 544: Chapter 162: The Alien

This time, during the Heroic Spirit Summoning Ceremony, Li Yu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided not to make it public.

Although there were quite a few potential followers of the Double Rest Sect interested in Saturday within Lion Heart Castle, if he could perform another miracle in front of them, the conversion rate would likely be very considerable.

However, the body Li Yu planned to use this time was a bit too conspicuous, and considering the body might have other uses afterward, Li Yu decided to keep things low-key.

The ceremony was conducted in the backyard of the inn, and the attendees were mostly followers or allies of the Double Rest Sect.

Even though there weren’t many people present, Zhu Zhigang was still taken aback when he opened his eyes.

With a carp’s flip, he jumped off the stone platform and then instinctively struck a questioning stance.

Miss Rabbit’s eyes lit up at this; she knew this move well, having used it herself in actual combat before.

Following up with a bottle of Anti-wolf spray and an Electronic Anti-violence Device would leave first-timers encountering this move crying for their parents, begging for mercy on their knees.

But regretfully, Zhu Zhigang did not perform the following moves, as he had already spotted Li Yu in the crowd.

Surprise flickered across his face, "Mr. Li... it’s you, wait, how am I still alive, did I really shatter the void?"

"Yes, you have now arrived on the Bratis Continent," Li Yu said, "and, stop calling me Mr. Li..."

"Yes, my benefactor!" Zhu Zhigang gave a fist salute, "You helped me shatter the void, this grace is like being reborn, from now on you are my benefactor. My benefactor above, please accept Zhigang’s bow."

As he spoke, Zhu Zhigang had already kneeled down neatly and efficiently.

Li Yu quickly stepped forward to help him up, "No, I meant for you to call me Prophet, Brother Zhigang."

The investigation report submitted by Zhang Hai and others mentioned that Zhu Zhigang was a martial arts fan, which was evident from his visits to so many martial arts schools and sacred sites.

Not only that, but his manner of speaking also had a strong feel of a martial arts drama, and he had been ridiculed for this before.

He had always been treated as an outcast and freak from childhood.

Yet Zhu Zhigang continued to follow his own path, in a sense, he was like Don Quixote living in modern society, the forever gowned Kong Yiji.

Although he had a warm heart and a chivalrous spirit, such a person would not be accepted by society.

Zhu Zhigang met his tragic death while apprehending a thief stealing an electric scooter; as other security guards said, why risk your life for a monthly salary of three thousand.

Still, Zhu Zhigang went for it, and out of concern for not injuring the person severely, he even took care to control his strength, resulting in the thief begging on his knees and then sneaking out a spring knife to stab him multiple times when his guard was down.

As it turned out, no matter how high your martial skills, you can still fall to a knavish blade.

Just like Yan Nantian in "The Generation’s Dual Heroes," known as possessing the number one divine sword in the world, he ultimately fell victim to the treachery of the villains in Evil Valley.

There are many more stories about Zhu Zhigang, and this is not even the most bizarre.

After getting to know about his life, even Cola Bear couldn’t help but fall silent, later asking Li Yu if he could make an exception to bring him to the Bratis Continent.

Li Yu agreed, although the skills Zhu Zhigang possessed were somewhat superfluous for the development of the Double Rest Sect.

Moreover, talking with him, it was easy to get sidetracked, and within a short time, he would start speaking partially in archaic languages.

Li Yu went to help Zhu Zhigang up, but he couldn’t lift him, as Zhu Zhigang, after all, was a martial artist, and now he had exchanged bodies, becoming a member of the Winged Tribe.

Although he was not as strong as the Half-Beasts, he was still stronger than Li Yu.

After Zhu Zhigang had finished kowtowing, it wasn’t over yet; he went bang, bang, bang and knocked three more loud kowtows, making Miss Rabbit wonder if this man had a grudge against his own forehead.

Knowing it was of no use, Li Yu still said, "Brother Zhigang, you have come to the Bratis Continent; this place is a bit like medieval Europe. Let’s follow the local customs, and if possible, let’s not kowtow anymore."

"I will follow the honored one’s orders. May I ask what I should specifically do next—escort missions or guarding? I have experience in guarding, but I can also learn escorting on the spot."

"No rush, first learn the language here. The people primarily communicate in a foreign language called Universal Language. Only by learning it can you communicate with them."

"Alright, I will go learn it now," Zhu Zhigang readily agreed.

Seeing that the two had nearly finished talking, Ge Lipeng on the side greeted Zhu Zhigang, "Fellow, where are you from, and how old are you?"

Zhu Zhigang’s eyes widened at this, looking at Ge Lipeng with a face full of surprise and then asking Li Yu.

"Honored one, oh no, Prophet... didn’t you just say that they speak a different language here? Then why does this local also speak our Han language?"

"Ge Lipeng, like you, is a transmigrator; moreover, both of you have soul transmigrated, occupying other people’s bodies, so you look just like the natives of this world.

"Hmm... Your case is a bit special; even among the natives here, you look different."

Li Yu said while pointing at the grey wings behind Zhu Zhigang.

Zhu Zhigang realized only then that he had something strange on his back.

Especially after he took the mirror Li Yu handed him and looked at it for a while, the bewilderment in his eyes grew even denser.

After a while, he cautiously asked, "May I ask, have I transmigrated into ’The Return of the Condor Heroes’ and become that Condor?"

"No, but as I said, your body is special. To the natives of this Continent, you look like a Foreigner, and a very rare type at that.

"Besides, if things go as expected, the race your body belongs to will invade this Continent before long and become enemies with the people here, so having this body in the future may be either a blessing or a curse."

Zhu Zhigang was utterly befuddled, with no clear understanding of his current situation.

Ge Lipeng, seeing his confusion, kindly reminded him, "Qiao Feng, you are Qiao Feng."

Zhu Zhigang suddenly came to his senses, "Got it, I need to return to the Khitan."

"We’ll talk about that later," Li Yu said. "First, you need to conceal your identity and make sure the people in this city don’t discover you’re from the Winged Tribe, especially in the next few days, when some things might happen here.

"I’ll baptize you first, and then you can get accustomed to your new body."

Taking the opportunity to perform a purification ceremony for Zhu Zhigang, Li Yu also checked his body to confirm that the bullet holes had all healed, and even the wounds left by the rocket tube had disappeared.

It seemed this new body also had quite strong self-healing abilities, which meant he could be a little more flexible when choosing bodies in the future.

Moreover, after this trip to the Royal Capital, although Miss Rabbit had not gained any advantage so far, Li Yu had aggressively gathered a large wave of faith. By the time of the next settlement, he should have a lot more faith points on hand.
