Chapter 337: Dragon-Type Laws (II)
"Brother Chu, please call Aunt Bai for me. I need to discuss this with her."
Faced with Yan Ruoyi's determined gaze, Chen Chu nodded and took out his phone to notify Bai Yunfeng.
Soon after, Bai Yunfeng held a press conference, announcing that Yan Ruoyi had to cancel the remaining stops of her world tour due to health reasons.
The concert in Miamir City would be the last stop for this tour. However, it would be postponed until Yan Ruoyi recovered, and the specific date would be announced in advance.
Fans from West Meng, North Lin, and other countries immediately expressed their dismay.
Chen Chu, however, paid no attention to this. After confirming that Yan Ruoyi was merely exhausted, he arranged for her discharge and took her back to the hotel to recuperate.
Once they returned, Chen Chu addressed Li Long and the other bodyguards. "From now on, no one except Ms. Xu and Director Bai are allowed to go above the eighteenth floor.
"This includes entertainment company personnel, hotel staff, and Miamir's officials. Even in an emergency, they must get approval from me or Brother Li before going up. I don't want any incidents until she recovers. Understand?"
Li Long replied solemnly, "Rest assured, Mr. Chu, we will guard every entrance in shifts. Not even a fly will get through."
The other bodyguards also responded. "We won't let anyone pass, even if it costs our lives."
After their previous encounter and Chen Chu's feat of slaying a king's avatar, his image had become heroic in the eyes of the bodyguards. Even if it was an avatar, it was still considered a king.
After organizing everything, Chen Chu returned to the lounge on the twentieth floor.
There, Li Daoyi was sitting on the sofa, typing away on his phone with a somewhat lewd smile on his face. Any disinterest he previously had in chatting with beautiful women had long since been forgotten.
As a renowned Innate Awakener, he no longer needed to initiate conversations or even send red envelopes.
Over the past few days, over a hundred women from the hotel and nearby areas had added him to their contacts of their own volition, and had been actively messaging him, sending provocative pictures and making all kinds of suggestive comments.
Some weren't even hints, but direct propositions to meet up in a hotel room. They wanted to have a taste of the Innate Awakener, and see how big he was.
Even Chen Chu was briefly at a loss for words at some of the explicit content he glimpsed, then reminded him, "Brother Li, take it easy. Be cautious about those women you've recently added."
Li Daoyi waved it off casually. "Don't worry, Brother Chu. I just enjoy chatting and looking at their photos. I won't tell them anything important."
Seeing that Li Daoyi understood what he meant, Chen Chu didn't say anything more and nodded. "I'll keep watch upstairs. You handle things down here."
Although they felt a little regretful about Yan Ruoyi's injury, neither Chen Chu nor Li Daoyi felt too sad; they had known about this situation beforehand. For them, having experienced so much death and killing, they had long since become indifferent to it.
Inside the room, the young girl slept quietly. Outside on the balcony, Chen Chu sat in the sunlight, holding a "book" in his hand.
So far, he had constructed his secret scripture up to the seventh stage’s foundation. Next, he needed to address the issue of ability conflict to achieve a fusion of various abilities.
Although these powers originated from the Thunder Fiery Emperor Beast, they were merely core ability runes rather than the complete chain of abilities that covered the Thunder Beast’s entire body. After all, the difference between a human body and a colossal beast was vast, both in size and structure.
In a void of white space stood a thirty-meter tall figure with three faces and six arms, clad in black and red scale armor, with four halos slowly rotating behind its head. After several optimizations, the previous three heads had transformed into three faces.
Currently, the most powerful pair of arms had already fused with the torso. Next, he would integrate the arms that commanded the Thunderbolt and Golden Flames.
After the failure to fully integrate every ability, Chen Chu had eliminated the Regeneration and Toxin ones, retaining only those that enhanced combat power to make his powers more pure.
Although Yan Ruoyi was too weak to go out, Chen Chu remained busy. Besides constructing the secret scripture, he also had to monitor the situation in the deep sea.
He aimed to enhance the Thunder Beast’s five abilities to top-level before it reached the late stage of level 9. He even hoped to strengthen one or two of them to an even higher stage, along with his soul splitting ability.
200 meters below the sea surface, a ferocious black and red colossal beast rested its four claws on a rocky outcrop, its golden vertical pupils coldly gazing ahead.
After two days of consuming several level 7 creatures, the Thunder Beast had finally replenished its depleted life energy and grown to ninety-two meters, and its presence had become even more tyrannical.
Several hundred meters away, a thirty-meter-long blue level 7 colossal beast with six sturdy legs and massive pincers was looking at it in fear. Under the Thunder Beast’s near emperor-level oppression, it had no will to fight and lay trembling, too scared to move.
This was a rare crab-like colossal beast. Despite roaming the ocean for half a year, there had only been one other time the Thunder Beast had encountered any level 7 mutated crab beasts, which was why this one hadn't been immediately killed.
The Thunder Beast slightly opened its mouth and let out a low roar. Roar! I am the Thunder Fiery King of the Dragon Palace, Ao Batian. You seem suitable to guard the gate. Now I give you two choices: join the Dragon Palace as a gatekeeper, or be eaten.
Feeling the terrifying killing intent emanating from the Thunder Beast, the blue crab trembled all over, emitting a large amount of bubbles and sending out a faint spiritual fluctuation.
Gurgle, gurgle! Join, join, Great King, don't eat me.
Compared to the highly intelligent mutated orcas and other beasts, this blue crab wasn’t very smart, just enough that it could communicate. More importantly, it was clear-minded, lacking the ferocity and brutality of other level 7 colossal beasts.
Roar! Good, follow me.
With that, the Thunder Beast’s massive body turned around, its shoulder spikes emitting scorching jets of air as it dove into the dark depths.
Seeing this, the blue crab hurried to follow, its six legs swiftly moving across the seabed as it produced a stream of bubbles.
Gurgle, gurgle! G-Great King, wait.
Roar! Hurry up, you're slower than Baxia.
Gurgle, gurgle! G-Great King, what is Baxia?
Roar! Shut up, talk later when we get back. The Thunder Beast growled, stopping the blue crab's questioning right there.
These colossal beast types typically had little to no interaction and lived solitary lives. Thus, when they encountered a kindred spirit to communicate with, like the Thunder Beast, they would usually develop a strong desire to converse.
This could be seen with the Deep Sea Dragon Turtle, who had turned into a chattering underwater monk, constantly asking questions.
This blue crab, which had thought it was going to die, was similar, though the Thunder Beast stopped that in its tracks.
It had had enough of these creatures' chattering, wanting nothing more than to swat them dead and devour them.
Suddenly, the Thunder Beast realized that the Dragon Palace it was establishing seemed to be taking on the flavor of an actual mythical Dragon Palace.
With a turtle chancellor, a Kun general, and now a crab guard, should it look for a level 7 shrimp colossal beast next, to complete the ensemble of shrimp soldiers and crab generals?
