My Ability Is Role-playing

Chapter 494 - 488: Cloud Peak Discusses the Divine

The burly man, standing nearly two meters tall and with bulging muscles, let out a sinister laugh, taking large strides to stand before Wu Di. Looking down from his height, he breathed heavily, his voice carrying a hint of mockery: "Little dwarf, feeling defiant? Want to die?"

Not far away, several passing red-skinned people also stopped in their tracks, their gazes focusing on the two, whispering among themselves.

"These scavengers, truly shameless!"

"He seized the opportunity to bully the weak."

"I reacted too slowly. Initially thought these dwarves were all underage, but turns out they are fourteen-year-olds eligible for killing!"

"I’m just one head short of meeting the minimum achievement for joining the , leave the other dwarves to me!"

"You want to die?"

"Come on! Who’s afraid of whom! Today it’s either you or me!"

Wu Di and the 1.98-meter-tall red-skinned man hadn’t even started fighting when two bystanders had already paired off, fighting fiercely with blood streaming down their heads, the bone cones colliding with a clanging metallic sound behind them.

Wu Di frowned as he looked at the burly man who approached him, pondering for a moment. A longsword, resembling a small spear, instantly left its sheath.

Swoosh!

A flash of red light streaked by, and the two-meter-tall red-skinned man got his brain shattered and collapsed on the ground. His limbs and severed tail bone twitching erratically on the ground.

According to the unstated rules within the Guardian Organization, any outworlders, except those from Cangming Star, who displayed hostility could be immediately slain.

Though Wu Di acted hastily in his killing blow, all transcendents of the traveling team, save for Zhang Qianren, felt it was only right.

"So cruel!"

Zhang Qianren’s pupils slightly dilated as cold sweat drenched his body, his heart pounding violently. His breathing turned rapid: "One moment of disagreement, and he immediately executes the killer... Is this the Academic Society’s elite way of doing things?"

Before attending the interview, Zhang Qianren had been repeatedly building up his psyche, feeling that he was well-prepared.

Yet at this moment, he suddenly realized that some experiences, unless personally lived through, render one unable to remain indifferent when they occur, while living a peaceful life.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Qianren choked back the urge to vomit, forcing himself to observe the red-skin’s body and adapt quickly to this new environment.

Zhang Qianren noticed that while the humans on this planet had red skin, their blood was clear as water and had a peculiar smell resembling strong liquor, making one feel inebriated just by taking a few whiffs.

After Wu Di silently killed, the onlookers did not react as Zhang Qianren imagined they would by rushing in to lynch him; instead, they cheered.

"This dwarf’s Cone Blade is very sharp!"

"Even though he’s short and the Cone Blade is short too, the speed is quite fast and very tough; he’s a competent Warrior!"

"Amazing!"

"Is this his first kill?"

"To know such things, just look at the , right? There’s only one blood mark on him, clearly marking him as a newcomer fresh out of the mountain."

"With this guy’s strength, he should soon gather enough to join the , right?"

Members of the Earth Traversing Team gathered a wealth of information from the comments of the onlookers.

Having eliminated the opponent, Wu Di wore a peculiar expression.

He looked towards several team members, pointed at the blood mark on the back of his left hand: "After taking this guy down, I got something akin to a tattoo on me, and some new information in my mind."

"By killing more powerful opponents, I can plunder their essence and might even get rewards from the True God."

"...Could something go wrong?"

Wu Di wasn’t entirely convinced by this fast-track method.

Killing and plundering essence sounds a lot like an evil demon path, unsure if it would cause instability at the foundation.

The worse result is that all of the Extraordinary Ones on this planet are nurtured by the so-called "Divine Being" as Gu Insects, eventually becoming nourishment for the Divine’s advancement.

"I have no idea what’s going on either, it’s your decision to make."

Zhu Hanyi rubbed the Rain Boiling Sword, speaking calmly: "However..."

"People like us, although with good talent, lack no geniuses on Earth. To squeeze into the first tier and not fall behind too much, we must seize every opportunity for improvement and progress."

Hearing this, Sikong Si nodded slightly, agreeing: "No need to worry about hidden dangers, considering that the chose this location for our test and interview, there is certainly a profound intention."

"In hindsight, the Prophet never fights a battle unprepared."

"This must be a benefit granted to us by the Prophet."

"Seize it well!"

Hearing this, Wu Di was quite moved too, he slowly walked up, stretched out his left hand, and pressed it onto the burly man’s body.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle...

The "liquor" splashed around, and the muscular tissues of the red-skinned burly man rapidly shrank and withered.

The alcohol aroma lingering in the air gradually faded and dispersed.

Wu Di let go of his hand, his face flushed with suppressed excitement: "My Inner Qi has greatly increased! Equivalent to a month of hard cultivation!"

Hearing this, Zhang Qianren, who had thought that he was here merely as a bystander, felt a growing desire to get involved.

Even though according to Ma Ran’s prophecy, he would awaken to National Guardian-level abilities and become a powerful existence known as , still...

What if? What if during the exposure to the Victory Stone, something unexpected happens, and he fails to awaken the National Guardian-level abilities, rather unlocking a silly and weak one, would he accept his fate just like that?

Always best to have a dual plan!

He memorized thoroughly the contents of the secret manual from the First to the Ninth Ranks, perhaps seizing this chance might allow him to catch up against all odds, and acquire substantial Inner Qi Cultivation!

"These red-skinned ’wine men’, based on their mode of determining enemy strength, seem to judge by height and body size or observing the length of bone cones behind them."

Sikong Si narrowed his eyes, speaking softly: "All of us are of average height compared to Earthlings, but on this planet, considered dwarfs."

"As long as we continue to change regions and practice fishing law enforcement, we can take advantage of this planet’s special characteristics for rapid growth!"

The Earth Traversing Team mingled with the bustling crowd.

...

High above, Su Qiangwei and Ma Ran, using the Superpower to conceal their presence, became two figures akin to white clouds.

counts as a Pillar-level Superpower, though it’s ineffective against individuals with strong Innate Spiritual Power, like Ma Ran, Su Qiangwei, and Gray, who can completely ignore it; still applies in most scenarios, very handy.

"This civilization is truly distorted..."

Su Qiangwei sighed gently: "Since three thousand years ago, their technological level has been capped at this level. Whenever a genius scientist emerges, they would die inexplicably, and the majority within the three nations have never even formed the concept of ’planet’."

"That Second Generation God of Slaughter hides very deeply, his methods and feats indeed surpass the first generation."

"He permeates the entire planet."

"At first glance, he seems nonexistent, yet ubiquitous, with no way to flush him out and eliminate him directly for the time being."

As she said this, the girl’s tone shifted, mimicking Ma Ran’s speech and expression, with a calm demeanor, adopting a carefree attitude: "Are you bringing that baby along just because of the deal with the Game Main God?"

Ma Ran, this guy, often "solves" two to three "minor things" while already doing one major task.

Master Qiangwei knows him too well!
