Omnipotent Overlord

“Brilliant Fist’s ninth move, Flare!”

Du Fei jumped smack in the middle of a whole group of stone golems. His fist flashed brightly and a dozen stone golems crumbled.

“Roar~”

The panda lifted his tablet and wrote ‘you can do it!’. 

These past few days Du Fei’s power grew and grew, entering the 6th layer of Spirit Driving Stage. 

Du Fei’s growth was faster than Li Mo many times over.

Moving to Su Qingyi and the panda, they were running in place. Not one bit of progress was there to be seen. They finished just where they started. Though the panda did get smarter, now dexterous enough to use the tablet to write.

The last time Li Mo was here, the panda wore Superman’s red tighty whities. This time he wore more.

Clothes were the biggest contrast between a man and a wild animal. Beauty, ugliness, good, evil, admiration, hatred, and all other emotions stemmed from this.

Du Fei stood proud among the piles of rocks and yelled, “Jianguo, pull another batch, bigger this time. I want to try my hand with 50!”

“Roar~”

The panda tucked the tablet in its pants then ran into the distance.

“Jianguo?” Li Mo was startled at this word.

Su Qingyi next to him explained, “Brother Mo, Plumpy said his name wasn’t very nice so it chose another, Wei Jianguo.”(T/N: lit. nation founding)

“What is it thinking? How did it pick such a strange name? Did you teach him?”

“No, it believes this name sounds much better.”

The panda was running back with a long line of stone golems on his tail. A rough guess would say a hundred.

“The more the better. Watch my Brilliant Fist!”

Du Fei jumped.

The inferior stone golems had long stopped being a threat to Du Fei. He could finish three hundred of them with ease, not to mention a hundred.

If he kept this up, he’d be strong enough to challenge the giant one in a month.

Li Mo felt somewhat pleased by his progress.

Boom~

Du Fei made light work of the hundred golems in less than a minute.

Wei Jianguo ran over and rummaged through the rocks for the earth qi jade. 

Li Mo walked over and Du Fei with the panda grinned.

“Du Fei’s progress is good, praiseworthy. His reward is the freedom to move between Earth and this planet.”

Li Mo made an earth qi jade talisman for Du Fei. With it, he was free to roam like Li Mo between the planets. 

Du Fei was overjoyed. This place started to get to him and couldn’t wait to get back to Earth.

Wei Jianguo and Su Qingyi were indifferent. Su Qingyi was so obedient, if you gave her a book, she wouldn’t move for a day. While the panda was a bookworm when it came to learning about the humans’ lifestyle and had no other interests for the moment.

“Take these one per day for the next three days. I will give you more when you finish them.” Li Mo took out two bottles with spiritual qi essence from his Star Ring. 

This spiritual qi essence was something Li Mo refined to assist in body refining. It worked for anyone. Long term, it could change one’s constitution, transform it. To some, it may just make them a bit stronger, while to others, it could unearth a special constitution in their genes.

Li Mo turned to the large stockpile of earth qi jade and started refining.

Earth qi jade was unable to be refined into a higher grade. But with Fortune of Heaven and Earth Art, he could at least reduce their bulk into a more handy earth qi jade.

The result, two tons of low earth qi jades were turned into 50 kgs in the Star Ring.

… 

An inferno raged inside a secret room, with fire dragon swirling everywhere and emanating such heat that even the 2 meter thick walls couldn’t contain it. Twenty meters around the walls were a blistering heat that prevented even breathing.

Manager Zhang pushed the red hot steel door and bowed before Lei Tian.

“Master, we found the killer.”

Lei Tian flashed his eyes open and the sea of fire seemed to have been given life, spreading for another half a meter.

Manager Zhang was respectfully standing in place, yet the inferno was stopped half a meter away by a golden qi wall. 

“Zhang Han, you’ve improved your Golden Canopy again.”

Manager Zhang lowered his head, “Master’s fire dragon surpasses a hundred meters. It is all thanks to masters leniency for being able to still stand here.”

Lei Tian snorted and stood. That instant, the fire died.

“Lei Yan’s killer is called Du Fei. He is holding all the stolen items. I have laid in ambush at his place for several days but he never showed up. He must be hiding.”

“Du Fei, I remember this name. Isn’t he a gamer participating in the in-house testing?”

“Indeed. He had participated in the last two testings. I have done a thorough investigation, finding him responsible for Lei Yan’s death as well as the one who hurt Lei Fei.”

The air started boiling from Lei Tian’s rage.

Zhang Han could not find a trace of Li Mo and all the evidence pointed at Du Fei, making him the number one suspect.

“I was planning on catching him off guard by waiting him out yet he never came. In my search of his place I also found these gems. It proves he is the killer.”

Zhang Han gave the 19 gems to Lei Tian.

“Well done!” Lei Tian laughed.

“Immortal Killing Array, ha-ha-ha. It is mine!” Lei Tian laughed.

“I have people in place for when Du Fei appears. We will receive the report the moment he shows up. “

“Master, then I shall withdraw.”

“Du Fei must die, but Xin Xiaowei’s gem is of more vital importance. That trash Lei Yan couldn’t do even this simple job. Death is what he deserved!

Lei Tian paced around the room then stopped, “The Xin clan is filled with stubborn old goats. The higher I raise the price the greedier they get. There’s only one way to do it. You go and steal that gem.

“Remember, if you fail, not a word about me. I am not afraid of some old coots, but my name must remain clean.”

“Understood.”

Zhang Han left the room with a lowered head.

Lei Tian held the gems and muttered, “You are nothing, Xin clan and Zhou clan. Once I get the full Immortal Killing Array, you will have no choice but to bow to me!”

“Ha-ha-ha…” Lei Tian cackled.

Whoosh~

A towering heat engulfed the secret room once again.

Du Fei got home but returned to the stone golem planet not long after.

The missing 19 gems had him scared witless.
