Chapter 497: Chapter 226: Whetstone

In Tongling Village, Master Tian Xin returned to his Daoist temple.

Violet happened to be walking out of the Silver Tower with Helen, who had recovered.

He had been preparing to head back to Evil Dragon Castle, but upon seeing Tian Xin’s return, he decided to stop by the Daoist temple to pay a visit.

"Master, enjoyed the show?"

"How did it end? Which family took Tai Sui away?"

Violet was just curious and asked.

Never did he expect that upon hearing this, Master Tian Xin said with an expressionless face, "Ask Levan. They escaped as well."

"Escaped?"

Violet was stunned. What did he mean by "escaped"?

There indeed had been a struggle among the three families in the end, with a fierce fight breaking out.

But weren’t the couple, Levan Mina, among the strongest who joined the fray? Who could make them flee?

Edelweiss surely couldn’t, so could it be the Sawtooth Shark? Did that fellow erupt in power?

But that didn’t seem right either. With the tacit coordination between Levan and Mina, even a slightly weaker True Elephant Level would fail to take them down.

"What’s the situation? Just tell me straight, Master."

Master Tian Xin considered for a moment, then revealed the truth.

"Tai Sui broke the seal, counter-killed the Sawtooth Shark and Edelweiss, and then with the Dinglu Saint Body, he waged a fierce battle against the couple, Levan Mina. He was unstoppable, fighting with the ferocity of a war god."

"The pair couldn’t kill him, and staying would have led to their death by attrition, so they had no choice but to retreat."

Upon hearing this, Violet was flabbergasted: "What! Tai Sui counter-killed them?"

He had been anxious about Helen’s life and left the battle early, thinking there would be no suspense.

Little did he expect that Tai Sui could turn the tables so unbelievably.

"How could this be? At that time, Eastern Pig had already frozen ninety percent of Tai Sui’s cells, and there were many changes involving Biological Power inside, sealing him to that extent. Even I wouldn’t know how to break it."

"How did Tai Sui break it?"

Master Tian Xin said calmly, "Even you cannot break it, let alone someone of Tiger Level. Tell me, what level of a person must be present to break it?"

Violet paused, realizing that someone of Quasi-Elephant King or even Dragon-level was hidden at the scene?

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Suddenly, figures descended from the sky. They were Levan and Mina, both severely injured, with whirlwinds around them as they healed.

"This is bizarre, truly bizarre."

"Such a powerful individual, captured for a mere six million? Dogs wouldn’t even take it!"

Usually, an A-level fugitive or an Elephant-level bounty fetches a reward in the millions.

The lowest million could motivate someone to kill a weaker juvenile elephant. The highest, nearly ten million to kill an extremely strong True Elephant.

As for capturing alive, the bounty should be at least three times the killing reward.

Although Gao Xin had killed Yunzhong Tianyi, he was, after all, only of Tiger Level, so labeling him with an A-level warrant was already showing him great respect.

Furthermore, the reward was not small: two million for killing and six million for capturing alive.

This tempted many of Elephant Level to participate, feeling as though the money was like charity.

But after this battle, the surviving couple, Levan Mina, were stunned. This was no charity; it was a death trap.

Even without the mountain of trash to bolster him, Tai Sui clearly possessed sub-elephant level combat power.

At the trash mountain, he was like a War God, with penetrating moves, even killing True Elephants was within his capability.

This equated to jumping three ranks to kill an enemy, from True Tiger Level.

While the feat of surpassing three ranks was not unheard of—the top legends of the island had similar records—

like Elephant King Quinn, who had killed a True Dragon. And it wasn’t a fluke; it was a fully-armed True Dragon. Wasn’t this surpassing three levels?

But Tai Sui had jumped the most impossible three levels.

The chasm from Tiger to Elephant was huge, and before him, there had been no cases of surpassing even one rank, let alone three.

The content of this legend was packed to the brim with value, truly terrifying.

"How could something like this happen?"

"So, the Demon Blade has fallen back into his hands?"

Violet was shocked. The Angel had fallen, three of the four horsemen were dead, and the fourth, Helen, had been saved by him; otherwise, she would have perished as well.

Moreover, four sub-elephants and two True Elephants from Sea King Port had fallen.

Looking back suddenly, Gao Xin’s achievements were enough to crown him as a legend.

But unlike figures such as the porcupine, although he was also at True Elephant Level, his strength was entirely on another level.

"Alas, it looks like I must personally retrieve the Demon Blade. After all, this is the sovereign’s task."

Hearing this, Helen worriedly spoke, "Brother Violet, let me go as well."

Violet waved his hand, "You going would be of no use. Tai Sui is no longer someone you can deal with."

"And with a True Dragon behind him, I might need to run as well."

"Your mission has already failed. Go back and report to Duke Gaia."

"Tell her the whole story and say that I have taken over this mission... She will not trouble you for it."

Helen quickly knelt on one knee, "Brother Violet, I’m sorry."

Violet gave a bitter smile, "It’s a small matter. As long as you’re alive, I won’t abandon you."

"If Edelweiss had left with me, he wouldn’t have died either, and the mission could have been completed... alas, greed."

Helen too was frustrated. The mission was practically completed; Edelweiss should have just taken the blade and left.

But he had to be greedy for Tai Sui’s model, utterly blinded by greed.

Levan then spoke, "You’re really going? What if that True Dragon is still there?"

Violet asked for more details about the battle from Levan, then pondered, "Since Tai Sui is still at Tiger Level, then Wan Kai must be there."

"Fine, I’ll try to grab the blade and run. Given Wan Kai’s current predicament, he dares not pursue me too deeply. With my strength, I should be able to retreat unscathed."

"Why don’t you join me?"

Levan and Mina hastily shook their heads: "No, no! Viscount Violet, you have the confidence to retreat with your whole body intact, but we certainly don’t."

"Even if Wan Kai doesn’t make a move, just Tai Sui alone is enough to give us a lot of trouble."

"The bounty is too low, it’s not worth it."

Violet nodded. Then, she went back to the garbage mountain alone.

Meanwhile, Helen took the elevator and left to report back to Evil Dragon Castle.

Levan and Mina, for the time being, stayed in Tongling Village to heal their wounds.

About four hours later, they saw Violet return in tattered clothes.

Honestly, they were all relieved to see Violet come back.

Too many shocking things had happened today, and too many at the Elephant Level had fallen.

If Violet hadn’t come back, if she too had fallen at the garbage mountain, they wouldn’t have been very surprised.

"How did it go? Viscount Violet, you managed to hold out against Wan Kai for so long; that’s impressive," Levan said.

Seeing Violet return empty-handed, they knew she had failed, probably because Wan Kai had made a move.

However, Violet frowned and said, "Wan Kai didn’t make a move; it was Tai Sui who held out against me for four hours."

"Ah? Just Tai Sui? You couldn’t take him down?" Levan and his wife were astonished.

Tai Sui’s combat record was astonishing. He was like an undying monster, breaking convention time and again, killing young elephants, sub-elephants, True Elephants one after another.

Although Violet was not a Quasi-Elephant King, she was much stronger than the hedgehog fish.

Even the Eastern Fish could seal Tai Sui at the brink of death. It shouldn’t be a problem for Violet to take down Tai Sui, or at the very least, to retrieve the Demon Blade, right?

Violet gave a bitter smile. "It was too outrageous. This guy, Tai Sui, do you have any idea how many modules he has?"

"Modules?" Levan said gravely. "Indeed, there are many, and he’s got SSR ones like ’Force Field of the Four Symbols,’ ’Dinglu Saint Body,’ ’Super-speed Regeneration’..."

Violet sighed. "He also has ’Quantum Ghost’... as well as a variant module related to ’Biological Superconduction’."

"What! Quantum Ghost!" Levan’s mouth twitched.

When Yamaguchi Shinko was still around, this module was a nightmare for those at Elephant Level.

Violet continued, "Tai Sui didn’t use Quantum Ghost before he was split in two by the Eastern Fish; it shows that his death back then was intentional."

"His Super-speed Regeneration has gotten to the point where he can still fight even after being shot in the head, waiting until he recovers."

"Plus, Dinglu Saint Body keeps healing him; I simply could not kill him."

"Of course, I was mentally prepared for these, but the guy is now in an eight-armed form, holding seven A+ level weapons, and even has the S-level Hell’s Wart Gun."

"Moreover, every time his body was battered, not only did his combat strength not decline, but his tactics also became more unpredictable and unrestrained."

"I admit, in terms of fighting consciousness, he completely outplayed me. He truly deserves the legend status; it was too tough for me to handle."

Levan said seriously, "But after all, he’s just Tiger-level. If you exert your full strength, can’t you suppress him?"

Violet frowned. "I need to be wary of Wan Kai and dare not unleash my full power. Otherwise, if he makes a move, I wouldn’t even be able to run."

"Also, don’t think that I can easily suppress Tai Sui. He has grown even stronger."

The two were astonished: "Stronger?"

Violet explained, "Do you remember the ’Biological Superconduction’ I mentioned? That’s another one of his SSR exclusive modules."

"Suddenly using it, his body surface petrified, and his Biological Power surged dramatically, with the intensity of his electric charges approaching my level!"

"He even developed a strong Force Field that allows him to float in the air within the garbage mountain and even control those alloys... Combined with his consciousness, it made his movements even more unpredictable."

"If it’s a new technique he developed on the spot, it’s astonishingly powerful, so it could be one of the effects of the Force Field of the Four Symbols."

"I suspect this guy, when he fought you in the morning, he still held back! He didn’t use his full strength!"

"In any case, after four hours of fierce battle and realizing I couldn’t take him down even with four levels of overclocking, I had no choice but to retreat first."

"After all, he can afford to drag it out, but I can’t..."

"I had to come back to replenish first."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Indeed, Violet hadn’t used her full strength, having only activated four levels of overclocking.

But to fight Tai Sui for four hours and fail to take him down, forcing her to return for a meal, showed just how outrageous Tai Sui was.

"Super-speed Regeneration, even reaching the second stage."

"As well as Quantum Ghost, Biological Superconduction, Force Field of the Four Symbols, Dinglu Saint Body..."

"My God!"

Levan counted Tai Sui’s SSR modules, feeling dizzy in the head.

Though each of them was quite strong, they were only SR level, so these abilities were beyond their reach.

Gao Xin had five major SSR modules, which some at Dragon-level didn’t even have!

What’s more, three of them were exclusive modules you couldn’t exchange for at the Silver Tower!

"We must ask for more money. I wouldn’t even glance at him without a higher price; he’s too abnormal," Levan said with envy and resentment.

Yet Violet smiled, "But it’s quite interesting. This is a legend on the rise, and opportunities to clash with a weaker legend are rare."

"His approach to combat is enlightening to me."

"Honestly, when watching from the sidelines, it seemed to me like you were being sent off to die."

"But when you’re truly fighting him, you realize how strong his awareness is... Let me think about a countermeasure; I’ll fight again tomorrow!"

He not only didn’t feel ashamed but praised Gao Xin’s might.

Having collected lots of intelligence today, he was ready to rest and prepare for another battle.

Levan was shocked. This guy was using Tai Sui as a whetstone?
