342: Chapter 351 Could it be a peerless skill? (4k)
Little Scar's sudden growth in size left the monster at the bottom of the lake a bit dazed.
However, being famished, it didn't think too much about it.
"Getting bigger is good! Getting bigger is great!"
"This way, I can finally fill my stomach!"
As the voice, sounding like an ancient behemoth from the abyss, fell, tentacles lashed out from the lake one after another.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”
One tentacle tried to whip across Little Scar's face, but Little Scar skillfully blocked it.
However, Little Scar soon discovered that he couldn't shake off this tentacle.
"Hmm?"
He looked down sharply and saw the suckers on the tentacle firmly attached to his arm.
“Swish, swish, swish!”
Another tentacle came attacking.
Because he was restrained by the first tentacle, Little Scar couldn't dodge nimbly.
He was struck hard by the second tentacle.
“Slap!”
The massive sound echoed through the Underground Lake cave, making one's heart tighten.
Would Little Scar be alright after such a heavy blow?
Little Scar, struck hard on the back, stumbled forward a few steps.
"Damn it, how dare you sneak attack this King from behind!"
"Tentacle monster, you have thoroughly enraged this King."
Little Scar's blue face and protruding fangs looked increasingly ferocious as he quickly grabbed the tentacle binding his arm with his other hand.
Then, letting out a roar, he sank his mouthful of fangs into the tentacle.
"It hurts! It hurts!"
The monster at the bottom of the lake cried out in pain, and the lake water surged violently due to the creature's frantic thrashing.
When two literal giants fight, the range of their power's impact is immense.
The surging lake water was like a sea in a storm, with turbulent waves constantly crashing against the shore.
The collision of forces during the exchange made the cave tremble, and rocks kept tumbling down from the ceiling.
"Fall back!" An Ke quickly gave the order.
If anyone were swept into the lake by the turbulent waters, it would be big trouble.
A battle between two giants was not something the animals present could intervene in.
The only one capable of resisting was Three Hairs.
But even he would drown if he were pulled into the lake.
The animals and savages were still in a state of daze.
Watching the battle between the two giants, they still couldn't believe that the White-Haired Giant Ape was Little Scar.
It was too ridiculous.
An Ke's urgent reminder made the animals and savages realize the danger. Coming to their senses, they hurried to retreat to avoid being caught in the aftershocks.
"Young friend, how did Little Scar become so huge?"
Old Crocodile was desperate to know the answer.
He realized that his current status in the team was insecure.
Previously, he could be said to be the combat powerhouse of the team,
but later his status dropped again and again. First, he was used as a barbell for weightlifting by King Kong.
Then he broke his own teeth trying to bite Three Hairs.
If this continued, his combat power would be at the bottom of the team.
Then, a group of Hippopotamuses, who 'left no crocodile standing,' joined the team...
And finally, now, Little Scar, whom he used to be able to handle easily, had directly transformed into a White-Haired Giant Ape.
Standing at an estimated height of over thirty meters, handling him would be a piece of cake.
Forget using him as a barbell; even using him as a brush to clean fur would be effortless.
All around, the eyes of the animals and savages were fixed on An Ke, waiting for his answer.
In places An Ke couldn't see, there were many others who wanted the answer.
All the viewers currently in the Dragon Country Live Stream Room.
And Above the Moon, the Mysterious figure in the long robe and Monitor No. 1379 in the Control Room.
How on earth did this human brat do it?
Previously, they thought it was due to the animals' own nature, but now they were absolutely certain it was related to An Ke.
In the live stream.
An Ke said with a smile, "Because Little Scar is the great sage equal to heaven!"
All the creatures present were stunned.
Only King Kong shouted, "Well played, you Keeper of the Heavenly Stables!"
An Ke naturally couldn't reveal his golden finger. Although the animals' loyalty was not an issue,
people in the live broadcast room all over the world were watching.
And the potential 'officials' behind the scenes might also be watching.
Although An Ke wasn't sure if they existed since he didn't feel any gaze, it was always right to keep his trump cards hidden.
"What kind of goddamn great sage equal to heaven is that!!"
Monitor No. 1379 roared in anger.
"Sir, this robot swears it will ferret out this kid's 'cheat'."
"I'll see how I punish him then."
It had no right to interfere with the National Fortune Game, but if the other party violated the rules, it would be different.
It had the right to penalize the party.
Beside it, the Mysterious figure in the long robe said nothing.
After all, Monitor No. 1379's actions were legal and compliant. To be honest, he himself wanted to find out what kind of cheat An Ke was using.
It could not only evade the supercomputer in the Control Room but also block his foresight of the future.
It was simply beyond ridiculous.
If one were to use human thinking to describe this level of absurdity, it would be equivalent to an ant creating a nuclear bomb.
Speaking of which, the Mysterious figure in the long robe felt a bit sentimental.
When the regulation regarding the punishment for National Destiny Bearers' violations first came out, everyone burst into laughter upon seeing it, thinking it was entirely redundant.
How could any National Destiny Bearer possibly commit a violation in the National Fortune Game?
Let alone the fact that most were from low-level civilizations that hadn't even reached Type 1. Even Type 2 or 3 civilizations, or even higher ones, had to act according to the rules of the National Fortune Game.
It was impossible for any civilization to violate the rules.
Over the many years, facts had proven that everyone's initial mockery was not wrong.
But now... a National Destiny Bearer who could break the rules of the National Fortune Game had appeared.
The most crucial part was that he came from a low-level civilization that couldn't even master controllable nuclear fusion.
...
In the live stream.
An Ke saw that Old Crocodile was very dejected, having suffered a great blow.
He asked, "What's wrong, Old Crocodile?"
"You seem to be in very low spirits!"
"It's nothing! I, Old Crocodile, am just tired," Old Crocodile said, turning his back.
"You old ghost, why are you acting like this?" Sister-in-law Crocodile scolded.
"You're let down by just this little thing?"
"Others are others, and you are you. You don't even like fighting.
You like to reason with others, so what are you depressed about?"
"What you should really be depressed about is your soft... never mind.
Besides, hasn't This mother always been by your side?"
"..."
It had to be said, Sister-in-law Crocodile was indeed Old Crocodile's bedmate... no! Bed-croc.
She immediately knew why Old Crocodile was depressed.
An Ke understood after hearing this; turns out he was discouraged by Little Scar and the others.
After thinking for a bit, An Ke patted Old Crocodile and comforted him:
"Old Crocodile, practice your eloquence well these days.
In seven days, I will teach you some skills."
Old Crocodile's whole body jolted upon hearing this, and then he became ecstatic:
"Are these words true?"
"I never speak falsely," An Ke grinned.
"Excellent, excellent!" Old Crocodile was so excited.
Look at Little Scar; An Ke just whispered a word in his ear, and he became big and hard.
If he could also receive An Ke's inheritance, wouldn't he also be able to soar to the heavens?
"Young friend, will it be like Little Scar, becoming big and hard?"
Pausing for a moment, Old Crocodile let out a hiss, "No, that's not right!"
"If that were the case, you wouldn't have me practice my oral skills.
Could it be that you're going to teach me some peerless oral performance?"
...
"What the hell is an oral performance!!"
"This sudden turn caught me off guard!"
"Clearly your minds are in the gutter, okay? Did Old Crocodile mean that?
Can't you be a gentleman like me?"
"Person upstairs, do you want me to tell everyone about that bullet comment you made about inflating your girlfriend?
I remembered your ID back then."
"..."
After the bullet comments strayed for a while, they were quickly corrected.
Everyone was curious about An Ke's words just now.
What kind of skill would he teach Old Crocodile in seven days?
Everyone was extremely curious.
Connecting it to An Ke's request for Old Crocodile to practice his eloquence, everyone judged that the so-called skill had something to do with the mouth.
Thus, the audience began to let their imaginations run wild.
"Could it be the power of words becoming reality?"
"That can't be, right? If Boss An really had that skill, why wouldn't he use it himself?"
"I haven't seen Boss An use 'Heavenly Manifestation' either, but Little Scar knows it now."
"Do you think it's possible he'll be like Godzilla and use a move like 'Atomic Breath'?"
"Does your Godzilla need to practice eloquence?"
"Could it really be some oral performance? Every time I help my wife, I like to write '***'."
"???? No, brother, you really dare to say that!"
"Tell us more, what do you use to write it?"
@Dragon Country General...
"..."
Although the bullet comments strayed again for a bit, many people were still discussing what skill An Ke would teach Old Crocodile in seven days.
However, after discussing for a long time, not a single answer was deemed reliable by the majority.
Simply put, they couldn't reach a conclusion.
Inside the National Fortune Game, Above the Moon.
"Sir, this guy is blatantly telling us that in seven days, he's going to use a cheat again!!"
"What do you think?"
Monitor No. 1379 was itching for a fight, feeling its authority was being challenged.
"What else can I think? I'll watch with my eyes."
The Mysterious figure in the long robe spoke in a deep voice.
"If he can keep using cheats... cough! Cheating throughout his growth phase without us finding evidence, then that's his own skill."
"I said, I look forward to this human reaching the end."
"That will be very interesting."
"No. 1379, from now on, it's not just a competition between him and other National Destiny Bearers, but also between you and him.
If you can find evidence of his cheating before the [National Fortune Game] ends, I will grant you a body."
Pausing for a moment, the Mysterious figure in the long robe added, "A body just like mine."
An expression of "extreme heat" appeared on Monitor No. 1379's screen.
In that case, it wouldn't be an 'it', but a 'He'!
"Understood, Sir!!"
"Good luck, No. 1379!"
"..."
In the live stream.
The battle between Little Scar and the lake monster reached a fever pitch.
After being bitten by Little Scar several times, the lake monster had learned its lesson and began to tightly bind his head.
Making it difficult for Little Scar to bite back.
"Curse you!"
Little Scar gnashed his teeth in anger. Although all his attributes had made a qualitative leap after growing larger,
dealing with a squishy creature like the lake monster was really a bit difficult to apply force to.
Crucially, this wasn't his primary battlefield. Being in the water made it hard for him to exert his full strength.
Not only did he have to watch out for the opponent's attacks, but he also had to avoid being pulled under and choking on water.
"So hungry! So hungry!"
"I'm going to eat you!"
"Then I won't be hungry anymore."
Little Scar suddenly felt a sharp pain in his knee.
His pupils dilated instantly, and the pain made his fur stand on end.
The opponent was gnawing on Little Scar's knee.
A patch of red had already appeared in the surging lake water.
"Little Scar!!" The Golden Snub-nosed Monkey was shocked to see Little Scar injured.
"Miss Jin..."
Little Scar glanced sideways and saw Miss Jin on the shore looking at him with a face full of worry.
In that instant, Little Scar's heart seemed to be filled with something.
That thing was called "happiness."
"Hahahaha!"
Ignoring the pain, Little Scar laughed incessantly.
He let out a long howl: "Great King, I was right, wasn't I?"
"My intuition was correct!"
Miss Jin really cares about me!!!
"Haha!" An Ke also laughed out loud.
"Little Scar, you were right!"
"Go for it! Don't let us see you making a fool of yourself."
"Understood, Great King! I'm going to tear this stinking tentacle monster to pieces!"
Little Scar roared, and his arms began to exert force, trying to pull the lake monster out of the lake.
Under his fur, veins began to bulge.
At the bottom of the lake, the monster was initially very disdainful.
After the exchange, it had already gauged the opponent's strength.
With the strength Little Scar had displayed before, it was simply impossible to pull it from the bottom of the lake.
However, the lake monster soon realized something was wrong.
Little Scar's strength suddenly became exceptionally fierce, several times stronger than just now.
Lake monster: "???"
The lake monster was greatly shocked. What was the situation?
How did he suddenly act like he was on steroids?
It also began to use all its might to struggle against Little Scar.
But to the lake monster's surprise, its body was being dragged away from the lake bed bit by bit, moving towards the surface.
"Damn it! Why did your strength suddenly become so great?"
"Could it be that you were hiding your strength all along?"
Amidst the lake monster's shocked and angry questioning, a huge splashing sound rang out.
A massive column of water shot up from the lake, and within the water column was a creature.
The creature had a large head, no body, and eight long tentacles beneath its head.
It was a Giant Octopus!
After Little Scar pulled the Giant Octopus out of the water, he immediately gave it a shoulder throw, while saying in a deep voice:
"This is the power of love!"
“Boom!!!”
The Giant Octopus was slammed hard against the cave wall, causing the entire cave to shake violently.
Falling rocks splashed into the lake surface, making it look like it was raining.
On An Ke's side, they ignored the falling rocks.
Any rocks falling from above were collected into the Portable Space by An Ke.
In the lake, after Little Scar gave the Giant Octopus a shoulder throw,
he turned his head to look at the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey and said with a grin:
"Miss Jin, would you say I'm right?
This is the power of love."
To be honest, after the transformation, Little Scar's blue face and fangs made his smile look very terrifying.
Even An Ke felt a bit uncomfortable.
"It's over, it's over! This Little Mouse will definitely have nightmares tonight!"
The person involved, the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey, didn't comment on Little Scar's appearance.
Instead, she scolded crossly:
"Can you not get distracted during a fight?"
Just as she finished speaking, Little Scar was entangled by the Giant Octopus again.
"I will definitely eat you, otherwise this time,
I'll have suffered a huge loss!"
The Giant Octopus was very angry. If it weren't so hungry, would it be in such a pathetic state?
It planned to eat a part of Little Scar first to replenish its energy.
However, before it could take a bite, a ball of fire appeared with a whoosh.
The intense heat fiercely roasted the Giant Octopus's tentacles, causing them to immediately lose water and shrivel.
The Giant Octopus's body began to twist frantically, the pain making it wish it were dead.
At the same time, it was deeply confused—where did the fire come from?!
