Peerless Genius System Chapter 774 - An Intimidating Pressure

Chapter 774: An Intimidating Pressure

“Let’s go!”

Xiao Luo said firmly to the Duck Emperor, not wanting to waste more time on the dispute with Louis.

The Duck Emperor nodded, then turned to Louis and shouted, “Piece of sh*t, Grandpa Duck Emperor is now busy. I do not have more time for you. Bye!”

Saying that, he carried Xiao Luo away like a flash of lightning.

“You think you can flee from me? No way!”

Louis immediately went after them. But after soaring through the air for a while, he saw no sign of Xiao Luo and the Duck Emperor. It annoyed Louis tremendously, and he found it hard to believe that the annoying duck could move so swiftly.

Finally, he descended and landed with a gloomy face. A few of his subordinates ran up to Louis, whereby he gave them the order, “Find that man and the d.a.m.ned duck at all costs!”

“Yes!” replied his subordinates in unison.

Ghost giggled and said, “The Dark Forest is so big. Looking for them is like looking for a needle in a haystack. You might as well give up!”

Louis gave her an icy stare. He snorted, “Sis, let us wait and see if I’m able to catch him. And when I do, I will drain his blood right in your face!”

…

…

Xiao Luo told the Duck Emperor to take him deep into the mountains of the Dark Forest. They finally stopped on a cliff.

As soon as they landed, Xiao Luo sat down cross-legged near the edge of the cliff to continue his healing process. Unsure if the system was manipulating him, Xiao Luo only turned to the system as a last resort, preferring to depend on his existing strength to recover.

The Duck Emperor stayed close to Xiao Luo to watch over him. He held on to the Dragon Saber with his wing, although the blade was too big for him, and scanned the surroundings for any threats.

The duck was now in its original form. When he was in the Dimension of Chaos, he enlarged himself so he could play on the computer. That was why he was much bigger than his actual size when Xiao Luo first saw him.

Xiao Luo’s healing process put him into a state of trance. He was in such a deep state that everything and everyone, including his physical self, no longer seemed to exist. He drew the spiritual energy from around him and it flowed into his meridians through the millions of pores on his body. Xiao Luo did his best to acc.u.mulate and absorb the spiritual energy as it continued to surge through his meridians.

The process continued until dawn came.

During the last phase of healing, he absorbed the spiritual energy more wholly and rapidly.

In his altered state, Xiao Luo could sense the spiritual energy rushing through his meridians.

Over the horizon, the sky was turning bright in the east. It was just before dawn at the cliff where Xiao Luo was healing himself. The air was still, and the spiritual essence in the air flowed into Xiao Luo from all directions like a magnet. The invisible force of spiritual energy swirled over his head, then in a sudden blast, it finally pressed downward.

As the spiritual energy whirled slowly, it formed a concentrated beam that penetrated Xiao Luo’s head. The flowers, gra.s.ses, and trees around him rustled, then swayed violently, as the overpowering pressure spread outward.

“Huh? Mother ducker, what is going on…”

The Duck Emperor was so frightened that he could not even form any words. It was weird. Xiao Luo was sitting cross-legged on the cliff not far away from him, yet it felt like thousands of mountains separated them. Xiao Luo was right there, but he looked like an illusion—a purely imaginary vision.

Everything that was happening at that moment was beyond even Xiao Luo’s expectation. He could feel his strength had recovered, and there was vibrant spiritual energy all around him, so he tried to absorb all of it. However, he discovered it was difficult to stop once it started, and the vital spiritual energy kept pouring into him, and his body kept absorbing continuously. And it finally transformed into the True Inner Force and flowed into his Dantian.

His meridians, viscera, skin, flesh, and other vital parts of his body regenerated, and all his body parts were strengthened and enhanced. His wounds were fully healed and his skin looked as good as new. Powerful energy was swirling around with Xiao Luo at the center of the storm.

Wherever the waves. .h.i.t, trees would disappear, and rocks pulverize instantly.

The Duck Emperor survived after flying beyond the reach of the energy waves. Sprawled on the ground and seized by fear, he gasped for air. “That was terrifying. What did that G.o.d d.a.m.ned jerk do this time?”

In the Dark Castle hundreds of kilometers away, dozens of aged men with wrinkled faces dashed out of their rooms and climbed to the top of the castle. They looked in shock toward the direction where Xiao Luo was healing. They gasped, feeling astonished and puzzled. They detected the spiritual energy from the area flowing there. What kind of attainment could have created such a disturbance?

“What happened? Which important person has arrived at the Dark Forest?” one aged man asked curiously.

“The person should be at least five hundred kilometers away, but the intimidating pressure from him has even reached here. He is powerful.”

“Yes. I believe this important person has achieved the level of the legendary Martial Saint!”

The dozens of Elders of the Sucking Blood Clan were in discussion. At the mention of a Martial Saint, they all turned pale, and there was fear in their eyes. Had the Four Kings of the Holy Land of the Light Clan come?

“Elders, what happened? What are you doing here?”

A young man who looked similar to Louis asked in confusion as he approached the Elders.

“An important person has just arrived at the Dark Forest,” replied the Grand Elder.

“An important person?” The young man frowned.

The Grand Elder nodded and answered, “Exactly. His attainment should be at the level of the legendary Martial Saint.”

Martial Saint?

The young man gasped upon hearing that. “Could he be one of the Four Kings of the Holy Land of the Light Clan? But the Sucking Blood Clan has not broken the agreement and never left the Dark Forest. What are they here for?”

Only the Four Kings of the Holy Land of the Light Clan have achieved the legendary Martial Saint level. The men panicked, for a visit from the Four Kings could not be a good thing.

The other Elders did not speak as they did not know what was going on, either.

The Grand Elder asked, “Where is Louis?”

“He just came back with our sister. And he caught some mercenaries hunting in the Dark Forest,” said the young man.

As soon as he finished speaking, both the Grand Elder and the young man turned pale. Was it Louis? Did he create any trouble? How could it be such a coincidence?

“Lester, call him over. I have something to ask him,” said the Grand Elder, urgently.

The young man nodded. Before he could leave to look for Louis, the latter lazily walked in.

“Brother, Grand Elder, what are you doing here? I have got a good harvest today. I have over ten fat sheep, and all of them are large and muscular. Their blood is especially delicious!” said Louis. He had calmed down from the quarrel with Xiao Luo and the Duck Emperor. He was trying to take credit for his harvest in front of his elder brother, Lester, and the Elders.

The Grand Elder flashed through the air and stood in front of him in an instant. Grabbing Louis by his shoulders, the Grand Elder asked with a grave face, “Louis, you have not left the Dark Forest, have you?”

It was a matter which worried the Grand Elder most. Louis had sucked human blood, and the bloodline restriction now applied to him. If he ever left the Dark Forest, the Holy Land of the Light Clan would be the first to know. If that had been the case, it would make perfect sense why they had sent one of their Kings to handle the problem.
