The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast

Chapter 655 484: Caught in the Capital's Scheme! (Part 3)

The majority of the audience was awkwardly silent.

Because it was all goddamn advertising.

Lin Guang: "......"

Nevertheless, Huai Shoucheng showed no sign of unusual behavior or shame. He was fully absorbed, his gaze exceedingly resolute, and shouted, "Come on!"

A flash of blue light.

A [Blue-eyed Sea Horse] five meters long, adorned with blue and white dragon scales, appeared behind him.

And a [Imperial Shark King] fifteen meters long, entirely purple and gold, with sharp contours and a small dragon-head-like pendant on its head like an angler fish, appeared at his feet.

They, too, were each wearing a Spiritual Artifact like an accessory.

In an instant, Huai Shoucheng and his Spirit Beasts simultaneously retreated, increasing the distance between them and Lin Guang, while rapidly sealing with their hands in front of their chest.

A blue-white river, seemingly connecting the sky, broke through the void and descended into reality, the majestic sound of water expanding throughout the Dragon Soaring Arena, with an overwhelming momentum.

Vaguely visible, the shadow of a bead floated within.

Six-star Divine Object · [Heavenly River Bead].

[Long River Chant] had already been activated with the assistance of the Divine Object.

At the same time, three girls appeared behind Lin Guang.

Lin Guang said nothing, merely clasped his hands together.

In an instant, dark golden brilliance spread.

In the eyes of countless astonished people, the [Desire Monarchy] Domain unfolded instantaneously.

The figures of the three girls disappeared.

Torrents of sword Qi combined freely in this small world, surged out of the domain, and crushed towards Huai Shoucheng flying in the sky.

Rumble!!

Huai Shouren's figure halted.

He saw his two Spirit Beasts exerting all their might to display their Mystical Techniques, and the river behind him, akin to the heavenly river, erupted, clashing head-on with the torrent of sword Qi, churning together.

Splash—

Two robust torrents, one dark blue and one sky blue, collided dramatically in mid-air, the imposing spectacle and shockwave spreading uncontrollably toward the edges of the arena, then blocked by a layer of visible energy shield.

At the center of the entire Dragon Soaring Arena, a scene of light and shadow, deconstruction, and fracture unfolded.

As if two True Masters were truly battling in the arena.

—Under the support of the Divine Object, Huai Shoucheng had indeed managed to forcibly block the attack with Mystical Technique!

However, there was almost no delay, as over a dozen crimson meteors, seemingly capable of tearing the sky, followed closely.

Huai Shoucheng forcefully divided a stream attempting to block it, but was penetrated in just an instant.

Boom!!!

Saturated Revenge struck Huai Shoucheng head-on.

And yet, the next moment, he emerged unscathed from the massive mushroom cloud, a thick, mountain-like earth-colored radiance sheathing him.

Upon closer inspection, there appeared to be a stone-like logo printed on the radiance.

"I admit, you are indeed unbelievably strong. If it were the old me, I fear I'd be defeated in an instant."

He spoke calmly and firmly as he flew and roused his Spiritual Power: "But [Rock Solid Industries]'s [Heart Like a Mountain] is a standard Spiritual Artifact, unrelated to the strength of the user. It employs a newly breakthrough Ether resonance overload technology, sacrificing itself to withstand even a casual strike from the Beast King. Special discounts are available for orders now—"

Boom!!!

Vishdair's second round of Saturated Revenge, with a face turned dark, engulfed him and both Spirit Beasts.

Yet he and his partners almost immediately tore through the mushroom cloud and escaped the ensuing explosion, glistening, a small blue shuttle weaving around them: "It's useless!"

"[Blazing Sun Studio]'s [Star Absorbing Shuttle] can ..."

His gaze was exceedingly resolute, as if he was reciting some righteous lines unknowingly to outsiders, confident of victory.

However, the Spiritual Artifacts on him had already broken two.

In other words, he was using the Spiritual Artifacts as consumables to stall Lin Guang, only growing weaker as the battle progressed.

At this moment, a series of messages interconnected in Lin Guang's mind, he had entirely grasped what he was doing.

He was duped by capitalism.

Huai Shouren and those involved in the hype were in cahoots.

From the start, their plan was to ride the fame and influence of Lin Guang and himself, the attention of the audience, and the reputation of the Huai Family, seizing this opportunity to advertise.

How much could you possibly earn? How much commission and endorsement fees were you given?

You can afford to lose Spiritual Artifacts and Divine Objects to me, and still profit?

How far-reaching is your layout?

...…

Meanwhile.

The merchants from small nations seated in the boxes, once past the initial shock and confusion, suddenly had their eyes lit up.

The quicker ones were already searching and comparing prices on phones and personal terminals.

They couldn't comprehend other aspects, but they could understand the battle.

Under combat that nearly reached the level of True Masters, the standard Spiritual Artifacts primarily made of Tier Five Spiritual Materials managed to deliver such performance.

It's noteworthy that of Tier Five Perfect Level Spiritual Artifacts and Tier Six Spiritual Artifacts, the demand for these small nations was too low, little use, and certainly not suitable for mass purchase.

However, Tier Five premium, standard, these two words combined, were significantly appealing.

The battle of battering Spiritual Artifacts until destruction gave them a sense of the specific situation.

This was far more convincing than any superficial Spiritual Artifact advertisement.

Thus, these few Spiritual Artifacts suddenly appeared extremely enticing to them.

—Unexpectedly, this seemed initially like a casual viewing, yet yielded such unexpected harvest?

.......

Five minutes later.

Huai Shouren, treated like a ball kicked back and forth, finally couldn't hold on, landing heavily like a blue meteor.

Boom!!

The last Spiritual Artifact on him also shattered under pressure, half-kneeling in the giant pit, gazing through the already fractured lenses at Lin Guang's four approaching figures.

The four were almost unscathed.

If Huai Shoucheng indeed exerted utmost effort with his Mystical Techniques complemented by the Divine Object, he could indeed threaten a True Master.

Yet, with all thoughts focused on showcasing Spiritual Artifacts and advertising, he naturally missed the opportunity.

In other words, he gave up on the possibility of winning from the beginning.

"Damn!"

The silver-haired girl holding a gun couldn't help but retort: "Don't you damn well feel ashamed? You've disgraced the Huai family thoroughly!"

"You even used our fame to advertise?"

However, Huai Shoucheng's expression did not waver in the slightest, coughed a few times, and rasped: "Shame? Your realm is too low."

"Money is power in Coastal City, it is potential."

"If you can't transcend mere shame, how can you grow stronger, how can you rise to the peak of Spirit?"

He snickered: "You think I don't know the gulf between us? I've seen it clearly."

"Here, making money is the true path."

"Do you know why I can see so clearly?"

Lin Guang frowned, instinctively thinking he might do something: "Why?"

Huai Shoucheng raised his hand, pointing to the cracked lens in front of him: "Because I use the [Qixi Type Three Detector], perceiving Ether and Spiritual Power information, even in the wild encountering Beast King, no fear of going undetected..."

Boom—

He was transmitted away by a burst from Vishdair, who couldn't tolerate it anymore.

Damn it, who asked you?
