250: Zihan's requirements

The golden cudgel felt cold and heavy in his hand, as if he were gripping a miniature mountain.

Just as Huang Chen gripped the golden cudgel with his right hand, information about it simultaneously appeared in his mind.

【Ocean-Stabilizing Needle】 (Alias: Ruyi golden cudgel)

Weight: 13,500 jin

Level: ???

Grade: ???

Attributes: ???

Note: Usage requirements not met, unable to view detailed information.

"Are both the level and grade unusable right now?"

Huang Chen shook his head in disappointment. Honestly, the Ruyi golden cudgel—who didn't have a hero's dream in their childhood?

It seemed the grade of the Great Sage's weapon was far superior to his super artifact, demon slayer.

With a thought, he stowed the golden cudgel into his backpack.

Suddenly, a flash of white light enveloped him, and he was teleported back onto the arena.

Seeing his opponent standing several hundred meters away, Huang Chen was instantly bewildered.

Hadn't he already been away for 24 hours?

Logically speaking, he should have been counted as having forfeited on the arena side, so why was the match still ongoing?

He opened his panel to check the time and was suddenly taken aback.

Even though he had been gone for 24 hours, time seemed not to have moved at all.

After the ten-second countdown ended, his opponent immediately chose to surrender, and Huang Chen returned to the valley.

He frowned as he looked at the pool beneath the waterfall, hesitating over whether to fish the demoness out.

Although the Great Sage had said he had sealed the demoness and told him to bring her out of the Star Abyss, he hadn't specified whether to take her now or when leaving the Star Abyss.

Moreover, the demoness appeared no weaker than the Great Sage—perhaps even stronger.

Would it be dangerous to go down there just like that?

This trip to the valley had brought Huang Chen far too many questions.

Why were people from Chinese mythology appearing in the Star Abyss?

The Great Sage said he thanked him, but what exactly was he thanking him for?

And what had those people done behind the Great Sage's back?

The Great Sage had mentioned Pangu at the very end; did that mean there were also Nüwa, Tathagata, and Yuanshi Tianzun in This Universe outside the Star Abyss?

Wasn't the Chinese clan a newly born clan?

And then there was Zi Han. Judging by the literal meaning, either a being from the Hongmeng Universe had strayed, or a being from another universe had cheated.

The amount of information was immense, and it piqued Huang Chen's infinite curiosity.

"Should I go into the water?" Huang Chen hesitated internally.

Logically, since the demoness was sealed, she shouldn't be able to cause him any harm. And the demoness was highly likely to know the "truth" that Huang Chen wanted to understand.

"Damn it, wealth is sought in danger."

Huang Chen finally gritted his teeth; he had to go down!

Then, he made a suave turn, a flash of white light appeared, and he returned directly to Jinling City.

Dangerous things like this, even a dog wouldn't... do, but if a dog won't, a clone will.

With his departure, the Huang Chens Clone left behind quietly dove into the pool.

And the moment the Huang Chens Clone entered the water, Zi Han, who had sunk to the bottom of the pool, suddenly opened her eyes and looked upward...

The clone slowly descended while on alert. Suddenly, he seemed to feel the water currents beneath his feet surging wildly. He hurriedly looked down and saw a purple figure rushing toward him at extreme speed.

The clone's pupils constricted. Before he could react, a long, beautiful leg instantly kicked him in the waist, sending him flying straight out of the water.

-1235212.

"Are you in cahoots with that monkey?" a cold, clear voice rang out in the ears of the Huang Chens Clone.

At this moment, the Huang Chens Clone was filled with shock. He hadn't even seen how the opponent attacked before losing over a million HP from the kick.

Was it this absurd?

And he still didn't know how fast the opponent's attack speed was.

If his real body had just gone down and been hit by two of her lightning five-whip strikes, he would have been done for on the spot.

The clone looked up at the stunning figure hovering in the air. Her eyes held a trace of cold murderous intent, as if she would send him to the afterlife the moment she was dissatisfied.

However, this time, the feeling she gave Huang Chen lacked the world-destroying sensation of when she confronted the Great Sage. Since her main body wasn't here, he could only secretly cast an Inspection Skill.

【Zi Han lv50 (Attributes ???) Grade: ???】

"What kind of template has this attack power at level 50?"

Huang Chen was horrified. His defense and damage mitigation were currently outrageously high; even an SS-rank might not be able to deal a million damage in one hit, but this demoness, sealed to level 50, had actually done it.

Then what grade was she before being sealed?

"Answer me... or die!" the demoness's voice came again.

"Uh~ if I say I don't know him, would you believe me?" the clone said calmly, completely ignoring the demoness's threat.

Hearing this, Zi Han's eyes grew colder. Although the Monkey King hadn't communicated with the other party from start to finish, she had seen the Monkey King's weapon being taken by him from the bottom of the pool.

That was one of the divine weapons of the Pangu Clan; it couldn't be used without the bloodline of the Pangu Clan. Moreover, it was only after the other party arrived that the monkey had the sliver of power to seal her, so the other party was clearly lying.

She extended her palm, and a wisp of purple demonic energy emerged. She said coldly: "Since you won't tell the truth, then taste my soul-refining technique."

After speaking, Zi Han revealed an enchanting, wicked smile, and the purple demonic energy instantly enveloped the Huang Chens Clone.

However, after just half a second, a look of confusion appeared on Zi Han's face. She looked at the Huang Chens Clone with a strange expression, then scoffed: "So it's just a clone; no wonder you were fearless."

Then, as if Zi Han had thought of something, her eyes shifted, and she said with a faint smile to the Huang Chens Clone: "Don't think that just because your main body is hiding, I can't do anything to you. Although a clone has no soul, I can easily find you through the mental link between you."

"We have no grudges, what exactly do you want?" Huang Chen said hurriedly.

A wise man doesn't stand under a dangerous wall. This woman was too eerie; he had to find a way to escape.

As for the Great Sage's dying request, Huang Chen didn't care about any of that; nothing was more important than his own life.

"Hehe~"

Zi Han chuckled, her cold expression instantly vanishing, replaced by an extremely seductive look as she said to Huang Chen: "Big sister doesn't want to do anything to you. As long as you help me do one thing, not only will I not kill you, but I can also give you some unexpected rewards."

Facing Zi Han's seductive expression, even Huang Chen's main body in Jinling City was stunned, but immediately, the goddess record system sent a cool sensation that jolted him awake.

"Damn it, this woman is truly too eerie." Huang Chen sighed in his heart, glancing elsewhere, and asked: "What matter? What reward?"

After Huang Chen finished speaking, his eyes still uncontrollably wanted to look at the demoness.

She was just too captivating; if the reward was a night of passion, he might even risk half his life to complete it.

Just as he had this thought, the goddess record sent another cool sensation, making him shudder directly, with the hairs on his body standing on end.

Could this demoness silently control other people's desires?

Seeing that the Huang Chens Clone was only dazed for an instant, a trace of surprise flashed in Zi Han's eyes, then she immediately became seductive again: "The task is very simple; it's just to give me a new identity..."
