Chapter 443 Becoming the Poison King
Chapter 443 Becoming the Poison King
Taicheng, your city.
The Normal Dojo is located 81 stories below the underground city.
A faint scent of pine mixed with the classic aroma of burning sandalwood fills the entire space.
It makes you feel as if you are in a temple.
In a luxurious living room.
Seated in the main seat was an elusive, fleeting spiritual avatar.
It was Sun Wanzhong.
He looked around.
There are 12 seats here, and half of them are empty.
The three people sitting on the left are Hongzhong, Canghai, and Facai.
And on the right side.
It's Chu Feng, Ling Huo, and Ye Kai.
As for Shen Xinning, the Ice Queen who was not present.
It is said that he suddenly fell seriously ill and tested positive.
The reason for the Dragon Sword is self-evident; everyone knows.
Cheng Xiaolong continues to represent the Dragon Kingdom abroad, participating in the "World Alliance Championship".
Hong Sheng had already been expelled from the party...
Why sit so far away?
[I'm not a tiger, I won't eat you.]
Everyone was speechless.
tiger?
You're scarier than a tiger!
Everyone tried their best to suppress the urge to complain.
In front of him.
Any ideas?
That's no different from shouting it out over a public megaphone.
There are rumors.
Hong Sheng took the risk of betraying the Dragon Kingdom Alliance.
It was during one of those times that I cursed Old Deng in my heart.
He heard it.
Seeing that no one dared to harbor any ulterior motives.
He was very satisfied.
[Ladies and gentlemen, from this day forward, we will welcome a new Heavenly King, the ninth seat, the Poison Heavenly King, Ye Kai!]
"..."
The position of the "Ninth Heavenly King" seems to be under a curse.
The young man who took this position.
They will inevitably be thrust into the spotlight!
Sun Wanzhong always meant what he said.
He doesn't like people flattering him or clapping after he finishes speaking.
The scene was deathly silent.
It was a little awkward.
But the superstars are already used to it.
[Ye Kai, according to normal procedures, your appointment should include a nationwide online and television announcement and a live broadcast speech.]
[I can skip these steps for you.]
[In addition, you will be granted the privilege of having a private armed force.]
[But your subordinates will need to be supervised by "Xiao Wangsun".]
The old man paused, as if he hadn't finished speaking.
His words were like a heavy hammer.
Slow, but deliberate.
It's one word, one nail.
There were obviously some considerations involved.
[...Eight top-tier secret realms within the Dragon Kingdom will be exceptionally opened to you at a 90% discount.]
These words were spoken.
The other five Heavenly Kings all frowned.
That's outrageous!!
1% off?!
A place similar to the "Cretaceous Secret Realm".
If you keep refreshing.
They specifically target and capture "wild, powerful Pokémon that are level 80 or above".
That wasn't in a very short time.
That would allow them to form a formidable elven army?!
Why don't you just give Ye Kai away for free?
This old man, Sun.
What kind of mischief are you plotting now?
This is such a huge benefit to Ye Kai.
...But thinking about it carefully, it's nothing.
His aura level is only 93.
And everyone present.
Whose aura isn't guaranteed at level 95?
Even those from the classes of '97 and '98...
This is likely another tactic by Sun Wanzhong to "balance" the various factions.
Besides, even superstars get "benefits".
Just like.
That's the passive income of "10 points" per month.
Even if Ye Kai catches Pokémon non-stop for 24 hours.
10 points are not so easy to spend.
It will take at least two weeks, or half a month...
Who has time to improve their own team of 1 or 2 Pokémon?
Why blindly pile up the number of Pokémon in the bottom-ranked team?
A level 80 spirit.
It's really not enough for a Heavenly King level expert.
They're just cannon fodder who barely pass the test.
This "advantage" sounds good.
Think beautiful.
However, in practice, it's as if it wasn't done at all!
It's a waste of money...
As for the possibility of establishing a "private armed force".
As long as he's a normal superstar.
Everyone has this right.
This is actually an open conspiracy.
Once a king becomes obsessed with raising an army and uses that army to his advantage.
Then this person's own strength will basically stagnate, or progress very slowly...
People like Cheng Xiaolong and Ling Huo.
They even "gave up" this "right".
Simply put, it takes too much time.
As the saying goes, "An army is raised for a thousand days, but used for only one."
Soldiers need to be "supported"!
The Heavenly Kings are too busy improving their individual combat abilities.
How can I have time to manage my subordinates?
What are subordinates for?
Of course, it's meant to be "used"!
Those below offered sacrifices at each level.
Those in positions of power simply need to provide them with appropriate protection.
They exercised those few rights and conveniences.
then.
Why not just use the resources you scrape together from the smallest gaps in your teeth to give back to the community?
Being held back by subordinates, thus hindering one's own time and capabilities.
That's an idiot!
Like the Dragon Sword.
A leader who does not exploit his subordinates at all.
Even with a lantern, it's impossible to find.
"Yes."
Ye Kai had no objection and brushed it off with a single word.
Developing influence?
Establish a private army?
He wasn't very interested in these things.
Whether it's the urban elf world or the world of the original elf stories.
Where does the source of extraordinary power come from?
Not an elf yet?
However, humans in the original world naturally possess the "treasure human" physique.
And this cruel urban elf world.
People have to climb up step by step!
Achieve pressure through post-natal immersion!
Instead of engaging in those fancy power struggles...
Let's get straight to the point.
That is, it possesses "higher pressure"!
A more powerful "natural disaster" has been detected!
It can even command those "legendary calamities" that possess divine status!
[Gentlemen, currently, on the surface, the alliance has appointed Ye Kai to replace Hong Sheng as the ninth Heavenly King.]
[However, some of the older trainers are in declining health. We should nominate more, so that talented new trainers like Ye Kai can also have more opportunities to shine.]
[I'm a very open-minded person. As long as someone has the ability, the throne should be given to younger people more often.]
"…Yes."
The entire meeting was quite suffocating.
It was practically Sun Wanzhong's "one-man show".
The Heavenly Kings just need to act as "tools" who can say "yes".
A small meeting was held.
It took almost an hour and a half.
Everyone listened patiently until the end.
That's all I wanted to say. We'll talk about the rest another time.
[Hmm, next time we have a meeting... let's go to... Xiao Chu's place.]
[Ye Kai, come here for a moment.]
The other five Heavenly Kings knew that Sun Wanzhong and Ye Kai had a private discussion.
Everyone wisely chose to avoid the situation.
Soon, only the "champion's" spiritual avatar and Ye Kai remained in the hall.
"Old Master Sun, what is the matter that is so important?"
[Ye Kai, I have high hopes for you.]
[The Dragon Sword's location is for strategic deterrence purposes; even if it's empty, no one else can be assigned to it, otherwise it would be tantamount to announcing its death.]
[Currently, including you, the Dragon Kingdom Alliance only has eight Heavenly Kings, which is quite short-handed.]
After saying these few sentences.
Sun Wanzhong's spiritual clone passed through Ye Kai's body in an instant.
The sudden turn of events startled him, and in an instant, he activated Dragon Scale and Steel Temper.
But it was no use, and it was too late.
A large amount of information was thus instilled into his mind through the waveguide.
[Don't worry, if I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't waste time on this meeting; even half a second would be too much.]
Sun Wanzhong is telling the truth about this.
He is getting old, and his most precious asset is his time.
Taking more than an hour for a meeting is too extravagant!!
[You are the most outstanding talent among the younger generation of the Dragon Kingdom. I will not harm you for the sake of the future of the Dragon Kingdom Alliance...]
[You remembered everything you just saw, right?]
[You may provide financial assistance to these candidates as appropriate; if they are deemed unqualified, you must report this to me.]
[Of course, I won't let you do the work for nothing.]
[Some of the research findings from the alliance are located overseas, and there's something else you'll definitely be interested in...]
……
After the meeting.
Ye Kai boarded the underground urban bullet train and quickly headed to Haicheng in the western part of the city.
He came here to take care of a few things.
We'll also be visiting the Iron Mountain Secret Realm.
The elevator ascended rapidly.
Until the elevator doors opened.
Qi Lancai suddenly realized that Ye Kai had arrived!
That suffocating pressure!
They're still targeting her specifically; they're after her!
[Ye...King Ye, what brings you to the dojo so suddenly?]
On this timeline.
Qi Lan and Ye Kai rarely interact.
I saw him and Liu Jing pass by the dojo a few times.
But I don't contact Ye Kai.
That doesn't mean I don't know about him.
Chu Feng would talk to her every few days.
Tell her about Ye Kai.
After all, they were once allies of the same faction.
This information naturally includes the latest intelligence on Ye Kai, who has become the de facto "King of Poison"!
In fact, many of the other owners were unaware that he had already become a superstar.
[Close the museum immediately. I have a decree from the Heavenly King to deliver.]
[Yes. ]
It only takes less than 3 minutes.
It's the weekend.
Around 3:40 PM.
The once bustling water-themed gym was suddenly shut down.
Qi Lan was even wearing a mermaid costume for the performance, just after coming out of the aquarium water.
[It happened so suddenly, I'll go change my clothes first.]
[There's no need for that. I'm not looking at you; I'm just here to convey that person's message.]
She felt Ye Kai's oppressive killing power; the Dragon Escape technique made it hard for her to breathe!
If Ye Kai exerted even a little more force, she would probably vomit blood.
And then there's this utterly pathetic feeling, almost like your soul has been pierced through.
What's wrong with you? Why are you making such a big fuss all of a sudden?
It made me not even have time to change my clothes.
Qi Lan, being a girl, had some complaints.
[Effective immediately, you are no longer the Water-type Gym Leader. A "Substitute Gym Leader" will soon be in charge of handling your affairs. Change your clothes now and come with me immediately!]
? !
A strong sense of insecurity rose within her, and she became alert.
The museum owner who holds a position within the alliance.
There have been quite a few cases of people dying or disappearing without explanation.
And now Ye Kai has arrived.
It's almost in this direction...
Don't worry, I'm not here to kill you.
He spoke calmly.
The alliance granted the King three "privileges".
That is, impeachment, execution, and appointment.
To put it more bluntly...
First, this can be done if the dojo owner is "not at fault".
Impeach him and strip him of his position as head of the academy!
Second, in the event of resistance to the execution of the "Heavenly King's Order," the temple owner who resisted the order was killed.
third.
It means that you can appoint trainers who meet the required skill level.
Become the "Acting Librarian," temporarily taking over the position of Librarian.
Only these three!
Regardless of the owner.
They couldn't resist the "King of Pop".
Finding a reason to kill you is child's play for me!
However, under normal circumstances.
Even the Heavenly Kings would not indiscriminately kill innocent people.
After all, they still have Sun Wanzhong, the "champion," above them!
These three rules also apply to these "kings".
[Instead, I'm giving you an enormous benefit; it's up to you whether you can accept it.]
Qi Lan is not dull-witted.
She immediately realized what was happening.
Crisis, crisis.
Where there is danger, there is opportunity!
The reason Ye Kai suddenly put pressure on her and made things difficult for her was because of this.
It turns out they were testing her capabilities.
"Cough cough!!"
It was in that instant that Ye Kai noticed her little thought.
Qi Lan felt dizzy, a sweet taste in her throat, and coughed up blood.
[Think you're so smart, huh? Your thinking is crystal clear to me. Stop dawdling and hurry up!]
She quickly changed her clothes, grabbed her spatial backpack, and followed Ye Kai.
