Chapter 157 Brian Jackson, Ysla's Confusion, A new Quest

“It seems like this monster knows something. Anyway, I have no reason to kill you. Not to mention, I am grateful that someone from that continent was brave enough to ride the boat in this ocean.” Long Tian spoke as he took out a t-shirt from his spatial ring.

He wore a black t-shirt and then released a little bit of spiritual energy around his legs.

Xue Le was still on guard but she didn’t care much about him. She had to look after Fu Chen. His recovery was truly slow despite having the Hongmeng Purple Qi and Healing Energy.

“Ohhh! Is this your lover? Did he take on something above his cultivation? Looks like his body recovering very well. It’s amazing. His body is actually recovering so fast.”

“What kind of energy is that?” Long Tian curiously glanced at Fu Chen and his eyes beamed with excitement as he began to ask various questions.

But, neither Xue Le nor Lily replied to him. It wasn’t something they would tell him.

After nobody replied to him, Long Tian heavily sighed and said.

“It’s okay if you don’t want to answer but his consciousness won’t recover very soon. It seems like whatever he did, he hurt his soul as well. It will take him quite a while to recover.”

Saying so, he went to the front and sat down. He had to rest as well. After resting enough, he planned to swim back to the Tiandao Continent. While he was recovering, Xue Le and Lily decided to look after Fu Chen.

Chu Yan and Wu Kong weren’t injured, just exhausted. So, they would wake up soon enough.

As they sailed for quite some time, they started finding a strange movement underneath the ocean. As soon as it happened, Long Tian opened his eyes. He turned his head at Xue Le and shouted,

“Girl, take the boat to the south and try to avoid this movement as much as possible.”

Xue Le didn’t understand the reason but she did paddle to the south. She didn’t want to be caught in whatever was beneath them.

Boom!

Suddenly, a large gust of steam blew out of that part, knocking the entire part of that ocean into the sky.

“W-w-what was that?” Xue Le’s eyes widened as she asked.

“It’s a volcanic eruption. Since the volcano is inside the water, it boils the water into vapor and releases a gust of the vapor toward the sky. If you fall into that gust, you will be fried to death.”

“It was good that you reacted on time.” Long Tian explained as he gave her a thumbs up and smiled.

Xue Le gradually calmed down and slowly took the boat in its original direction.

“What was that? What happened?” Slowly, Chu Yan stood up on his foot legs and asked. He woke up because of that fast turn.

“It was a volcanic eruption. We had to evade it. Sorry, I woke you up. You should get more rest.” Xue Le finally smiled and patted his head.

Seeing her smile, Long Tian found it strange. The relationship between the wolf and the human didn’t seem bad in his eyes. In fact, it seemed like they were truly friendly.

But, he didn’t understand why they were so friendly. After all, even in this continent, they were enemies. He found this crew a bit stranger.

“Wait, why am I sensing one more person here?” Chu Yan rubbed his eyes as he asked. He moved his head and his eyes fell on Long Tian. In instant, he sensed an overwhelming aura.

Long Tian wasn’t releasing this aura. It was the aura of defeat. It was so powerful that Chu Yan knew he would die if he tries to fight this man. But, because of that, his guard was instantly up.

Behind him, a large disk with five spikes appeared. Each spike had a different color, representing his five elements.

Although Long Tian knew he could kill Chu Yan, this disk was so powerful that it made him raise his guard as well. Some golden scales appeared on his face as he stared at Chu Yan.

“You two, stop right now.” Xue Le instantly rushed between them and shouted while spending out of her arm. She turned her head at Chu Yan and said.

“He is not an enemy. At least, he didn’t attack us while you are unconscious. And, he also alerted us about that volcano eruption.”

‘Don’t attack him now. We can discuss his threat after Fu Chen wakes up. We are no match for him. So, let’s play cool.’ Xue Le didn’t forget to use her spiritual sense to send a message directly into his mind.

Xue Le turned her head at Long Tian and said “You said you won’t fight here. He was just startled by you. So, calm down!”

Hearing her words, Long Tian took a deep breath and calmed down. Xue Le also retracted the five elemental disks inside his body.

Long Tian stared at Chu Yan and asked “What’s your name?”

“Chu Yan” Chu Yan being able to use the human language replied.

“That disk….. I have seen the record about that disk. It was Five Elemental Chaos Disk, wasn’t it? One of the strongest attacks in the world, born out of Five Elemental Chaotic Body.”

“It’s strange but I never expected you to possess that Divine Physique.” Long Tian stared at him and guessed about his powers in an instant.

Hearing his words, Chu Yan narrowed his eyes and asked “What do you mean by strange? Is it strange that a monster from Yan Continent can inherit such talent?”

Long Tian shook his head and said “No, I am not underestimating the Yan Continent. After all, it was one of the three main continents in our world. If it wasn’t for the Heavenly Dao, it would’ve been equal to our world.”

“I just didn’t expect a monster to inherit Divine Physique.”

Hearing his words, Chu Yan clenched his paws.

“What the hell do you mean by that?”

His words contained anger. Long Tian tried to explain but before him, Lily spoke.

“He meant that except for some specific physique like True Dragon Body, we, monsters don’t inherit the Physique. We rely on our bloodline. Humans on the other hand rely on Physique rather than bloodlines.”

Saying so, Lily raised her eyes at Long Tian and said “But, times have changed. With humans getting the power of bloodline, monsters have also started inheriting the Physique. Don’t tell me you don’t know about this.”

“I know about the change. In fact, there are nearly more than ten monsters in Martial Youth List who has Emperor Rank Physique but none of them have Divine Physique. So, I was really surprised.” Long Tian explained as he shrugged his shoulders.

“Martial Youth List. What’s that?” Xue Le curiously asked.

Long Tian’s expression got serious as he spoke “The List of the geniuses of our continent. There are a thousand geniuses on that list. It is based on the number of people you kill.”

“If you are a human, it depends upon how many monsters, devils, and spirits you kill. If you are a monster, it depends upon how many devils, spirits, and humans you kill. The others are just like that with a slight change.”

“It is a battlefield of geniuses. And, my rank is 90.”

When he said that, Xue Le and Chu Yan’s eyes widened like crazy. They knew the person in front of them had higher cultivation than them. But, they didn’t understand why his lank was so low.

After all, even Chu Yan didn’t have the confidence to fight him.

Xue Le gulped down and asked, “Who is the first?”

When she asked that, Long Tian suddenly trembled. His body was shaking and sweat started coming out of his skin.

Xue Le, Lily, and Chu Yan felt even more strange when he showed a such reaction. They didn’t know how to react to his reaction because he was already the genius of geniuses in their eyes.

After a while, Long Tian controlled his body and took a deep breath.

“His name is Brian Jackson. He managed to rank first from the bottom in a year. And, even though it has been years since he has disappeared, his record is still unbeatable.”

“It was said that his talent was so scary that Darknight Continent sent five Saints to assassinate him. Of course, this is just a baseless rumor but since he hasn’t appeared for years, many still believe in that.”

At this moment, Chu Yan and Xue Le were terrified to the point they were literally shaking. They understood his meaning. Even if it has been over a year, his record hadn’t been broken.

They can’t comprehend just how many people he has killed till now.

They kept this name deep inside their mind. But, it wasn’t just them. Inside Brian’s mind, Ysla was confused.

“Why do I feel like I have heard that name? Why can’t I remember anything? Does this have something to the restriction in my memories? Who is he? Is he the one that put the seal? Or, is he related to the person that did so?”

“Does that mean finding him will allow me to learn the secrets about the system?”
