#185 - Chapter 185 God of Wealth
Qi Jing's spider-sense told him that these square holes were very dangerous, and once he fell into them, he might not be able to get out.
However, he didn't care at all. They were just motionless traps; only a fool would fall into them.
“Pearl Rain!”
Caishen - Xi Quehan activated his skill, causing a rain of pearls to fall on the arena.
Silver bottles burst, water and pulp gush, large and small pearls fall on a golden plate.
(Note: This is not from the original text, don't mix it up)
These pearls were all as huge as fists, and they fell extremely fast. If they hit someone's head, they could definitely smash a deep pit.
Seeing this, Qi Jing opened his谪仙傘 (Zhe Xian Umbrella) and held it above his head. In the past, he had always used its umbrella-sword to fight enemies, but this was the first time he used its "umbrella" attribute.
However, the pearls would bounce up when they hit the ground, causing damage to Qi Jing from the ground.
So he spread his wings and flew into the sky, then quietly watched to see what moves his opponent would make.
“Summon, Golden Toad!”
Today, after a day of experimentation, Xi Quehan had figured out the characteristics of his ability.
“Inviting a God” would randomly bring a god into his body, and he would possess all of their skills. Each use would consume Source Power, and the power of these skills depended entirely on his “Incense.”
If the “Incense” was insufficient, he would be unable to release some advanced skills.
For example, this morning he summoned “King Yama” once, but he couldn't summon the Book of Life and Death to "decide who wouldn't die."
Most importantly, the skills possessed by the god he summoned came from his own impressions. That is to say, he couldn't summon a god he had never heard of, and he couldn't use skills he didn't know.
Therefore, studying theology was very important to him.
“Shoot Copper Coins!”
Under Xi Quehan's command, the half-meter-high golden toad shot copper coins at Qi Jing, who was flying in the sky, but Qi Jing dodged them all by swaying left and right.
With his Observation Haki, dodging these copper coins, which were not even half as fast as bullets, was simply too easy.
“Auspicious Cloud!”
In Xi Quehan's mind, all Eastern gods and immortals had their own clouds, which meant they could all fly.
Therefore, he summoned a white auspicious cloud under his feet and rode it towards Qi Jing.
Since ranged attacks weren't working, he would engage in close combat!
“Golden Touch Whip!”
Qi Jing, like a demon king waiting for a hero to challenge him, quietly watched Xi Quehan fly to his side, then drew his umbrella-sword and clashed with his Golden Touch Whip.
Instantly, Qi Jing found that the umbrella-sword in his hand had turned golden all over, and it was very soft, just like gold.
No, it was gold!
Good heavens!
This thing was powerful!
Qi Jing indicated that he really wanted this whip.
However, he could see that Xi Quehan was a transformation-type ability user, and his weapon was also transformed. As long as he canceled the transformation, the Golden Touch Whip would immediately disappear.
Moreover, his strength this time was definitely not as strong as when he cleared the level last time. Therefore, Qi Jing guessed that Xi Quehan's ability, like Miao Kui's, had randomness.
Sigh.
If he could summon this Golden Touch Whip all the time, that would be great.
Qi Jing threw the golden umbrella-sword, hitting Xi Quehan's chest, but it didn't cause him any damage.
As expected, how could Caishen be injured by gold?
Then, Qi Jing took out the Purple Azure Sword, wanting to test whether his Golden Touch Whip could turn this "indestructible" sword into gold as well.
Bang!
The two weapons collided, and the Purple Azure Sword was fine, but Xi Quehan almost dropped the Golden Touch Whip he was holding.
“What kind of sword is this?”
Xi Quehan didn't expect that there would be an item that could resist his Golden Touch Whip. This was a rule-based weapon of the gods. Could it be that his incense was not enough?
“Purple Azure Sword, a divine sword.”
Qi Jing raised the sword and waved it at Xi Quehan, saying, “It is absolutely indestructible. How about it, amazing, right~”
“Amazing.”
There is no such thing as absolutely indestructible.
Xi Quehan said it was amazing to acknowledge the hardness of the sword, not the word "absolutely."
He believed that the reason he couldn't transform this sword was because he had too little incense. If he had more incense, there would be nothing in this world that he couldn't transform.
“Golden Light Radiates Everywhere!”
Seeing that he couldn't win head-on, Xi Quehan released golden light all over the sky, merging himself into it. He wanted to use this to attack Qi Jing.
Ice Heart Technique!
Seeing that Xi Quehan had launched a full-screen, wide-range attack, Qi Jing immediately merged himself into hard ice to avoid this wave of attacks.
Generally speaking, he shouldn't be able to last long in this form.
No one in the freshman class has more Source Power than him, unless that person's ability is related to Source Power.
Obviously, Xi Quehan was not this type of ability user.
Qi Jing guessed correctly. This golden light all over the sky only lasted for less than one and a half seconds, not even as long as Li Luoluo's ultimate move, “Rainbow Form.”
If Xi Quehan had seen his battle with Li Luoluo, he would definitely not have used this move.
Unfortunately, he hadn't seen it.
“I lost.”
Xi Quehan fell to the ground. In the virtual world, running out of Source Power wouldn't cause dizziness, it would just prevent him from using Source Power.
He didn't expect to lose his first arena battle.
Was his ability very bad?
As someone who hardly reads any news about the other world or the academy's activities, he knew very little about ability battles.
He originally thought that his ability would be a super powerful god-level ability, but he lost in the first match.
It must be because he didn't have enough incense!
Xi Quehan immediately logged off. He was going back to burn incense!
Since the summer vacation, his incense had hardly stopped burning.
It must be because he didn't burn incense today that the Caishen was angry, and that's why he was so useless!
“Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, Taibai Jinxing, Taishang Laojun, Erlang Zhenjun, Great Sage Equaling Heaven…”
Qi Jing looked at Xi Quehan muttering the names of some gods and clicked to log off, full of doubts.
Could he be a Taoist believer?
Does Taoism also believe in the Great Sage Equaling Heaven?
Don't understand, don't understand.
Without thinking about this slightly dull opponent, Qi Jing started the next battle.
------ Xi Quehan's God Invitation Diary ------
1. Great Sage Equaling Heaven:
Skills include Fiery Eyes, Golden Cudgel, Somersault Cloud, Law Manifestation of Heaven and Earth, Immobilization Technique, Seventy-two Transformations, etc., but I didn't remember what all seventy-two transformations were, I still need to watch more.
Some monkey-like movements will occur during the transformation, which cannot be subjectively controlled. The preliminary judgment is due to insufficient control.
2. King Yama:
Skills include Soul Restraint, Ghost Summoning, Annihilation, Underworld, Book of Life and Death, Chaoyuan Diagram, Immortality, etc. Perhaps because I don't know enough about him, many of his skills cannot be used.
The only skill I understand, the Book of Life and Death, cannot be summoned due to incense issues.
Immortality is not true immortality. Once Source Power is exhausted, one still has to die.
When transforming, I feel like I don't like bright places.
3. Caishen:
Skills include Summoning Golden Toad, Caishen Domain, Yuanbao Shooting, Golden Touch Whip, Pearl Rain, Immunity to Coin Attacks (gold, silver, copper coins, pearls, paper money, etc.), Golden Light Radiates Everywhere, Strong Luck, etc.
Can't beat the seemingly ordinary freshman on the other side, so Caishen is relatively weak.
When transforming, I like to see others make a fortune, but this liking can be suppressed during fights.
