“We have analyzed a lot of known ingredients from the weapon’s materials, but these aren’t the main ingredients. It’s a synthetic material, but we didn’t have a clue about the main material at first as we couldn’t find it’s source. It wasn’t until the Institute conducted a materials comparison and inadvertently found a genetic analysis chart of Slime.”
Slime was the official term for now, but it personally didn’t acknowledge it and claimed to be the creation of God.
“Slime?” Li Xianyu was shocked. “The weapon material is Slime?”
Suddenly, he remembered that Slime had said it was missing a part of its body. Was the weapon made of the missing part of its body?
“No, the comparison results are very similar, but not the same. For example, it’s comparable to the genetic similarity between people,” Lightning King said.
“Are you sure?!” Li Xianyu almost jumped up.
Slime’s genes were independent of the current gene tree, and were likely to be related to the ancient demons, according to Baoze’s theory, as well as Slime’s words.
Slime had no digestive system, no organs that biological creatures should have had. It was a clump of simple DNA tissue.
Li Xianyu even suspected that it was part of the body of the ancient demon. After absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, it developed intelligence or something. This was very consistent with Slime’s own words.
Of course, these were only guesses, but one point they were certain of was that it was linked to the ancient demon.
They found a genome similar to that of Slime in the dark javelin, meaning it had something to do with the ancient demon, and anything to do with the ancient demon could be summed up in a word: Badass.
“I remember that besides the Great Deities Palace, there were two ancient ruins that had been identified. Can you find the forces behind the weapons along these clues?” Li Xianyu asked.
“It’s a little difficult, the clues are too vague. The Fuzhou branch has captured the remainder of the smuggling gang, but they know nothing about the employer’s information. The only thing that can be confirmed is that the goods were sent from the Philippines.”
“But I think it’s just a transit point. The foreign demon descendants you’ve killed has been identified as a notorious scattered cultivators gang in Germany.”
“An almost S-class master, will not be an no-name member. It is not difficult to find out who this person is. But it’s a little difficult to continue investigations. The scattered cultivators gang is far abroad and are most likely, intermediaries. With no official support or staff on their turf, we lack manpower and resources.”
It was the equivalent of someone throwing a nuclear bomb at one’s house, and that person didn’t know who threw it.
Other countries would also be blinded by such things if they were to encounter them. The clues were too shallow, too trivial, and too difficult to investigate.
“We will contact the official German demon descendants group and send a commissioner to investigate.” Lightning King did not seem to be optimistic about this either and changed the subject.
“There’s something else that’s amiss. The javelin is fragile, and not a divine weapon that is extremely sharp. It’s hard to imagine that it could shatter the Unparalleled War Spirit’s physique. I looked for Big Boss and he took a look, and he said it was a weapon that had lost its spirit.”
“What does that mean?” The rookie didn’t understand.
“Either that, or it’s a one-off disposable weapon. Or your Great-Grandma exhausted its power. In this way, we don’t have any other way to do it except to research it in terms of material,” Lightning King said.
If the weapon could still be used, it may be possible to find a breakthrough in refining techniques.
The refining of spiritual instruments was not like making industrial product now. It was more like the ancient craftsmanship. With a strong heritage, it was easy to find the place of origin.
“You are a trouble magnet indeed. Wherever you go, something big is going to happen. You made a trip to the sea and encountered a nuclear bomb. It’s probably the smuggler who wants to cry the most. They have lost a major weapon for nothing,” Lightning King quipped.
Anyway, he was happy that the weapon was gone.
Pitting the Unparalleled War Spirit against the dark javelin, the equivalent of the two artifacts against each other, to see who was harder. Now it seemed that the Unparalleled War Spirit was stronger. She was worthy of being a national strategic weapon.
“By the way, how’s your cultivation at? I think you should have made a little progress,” Lightning King asked.
Li Xianyu pondered for a few seconds.” I can beat you effortlessly without using my tricks.”
Lightning King: (#?Д?)
During the coastal war, Great-Grandma was inexplicably hit hard, but they did gain something. While waiting for the Fuzhou branch to lend support, Li Xianyu absorbed all the blood, essence, and qi of the demon descendants present, including the almost S-class demon descendant.
Thanks to this qi, he managed to recuperate. Next, Li Xianyu started eating the “Jiang Kun Yin Dao Weng” capsule during these three days. The medicine was always in his wallet.
Great-Grandma’s extraction of his essence, was from the power of his bloodline. Superpowers came from the power of the bloodline, so if Great-Grandma were to extract too much, then his self-healing ability would decline.
Thus, he wouldn’t be able to do what he did when he was injured to recover immediately, because the healing effect was reduced.
“I’m the top amongst the middle-ranked staff now, and then my powers are self-healing. I’m sure you get it,” Li Xianyu added.
“What the hell? That’s overpowered,” Lightning King commented in anger.
Not being strong in combat, has always been something that hurt Lightning King. Instead of being talented, he was slow and was often laughed at by his fellow-men in his youth, when they were in the Taoist temple. However, the big boss found what he was strong at: great overall vision and strategy. Thus, he was appointed Minister of Law Enforcement at Headquarters.
Lightning King had been doing his best all these years and had some good achievements, but that didn’t change the fact that he was weak.
Some middle-ranked staff who were good at combat could beat him easily, let alone senior staff.
Lightning King thought he was a Pikachu, he couldn’t kill anyone with a hundred thousand volts.
He and Pikachu were the two great disgraces amongst lightning users.
Now, even a rookie like Li Xianyu had reached the top of the middle-ranked staff. This was a rookie whom he had looked after since he entered the company.
“I use my brain, I use my brain...” Lightning King murmured to himself and hung up the phone.
...
Zhuhai, in an elegant Japanese-style compartment, the boss of the Sakurai family clan was enraged.
“What are the Germans doing? They actually screwed up such a major task. They should commit seppuku to atone for this.” Sakurai Tokimasa, who was donned in a kimono, cursed.
“The matter has already happened, getting angry wouldn’t solve anything. One out of the six Soul Destroying Javelin is gone. If so, we can’t kill the Unparalleled War Spirit. We should think of what to do next.” the man sitting opposite Sakurai Tokimasa commented.
The noble man from the United Kingdom has always maintained his grace.
“If they don’t want to commit seppuku to atone for their sins, they should make amends for their faults. That’s the mark of a true man.” Sakurai Tokimasa said coldly.
“They cannot be blamed for this, no one knew that the Unparalleled War Spirit will go to Fuzhou, and happened to be near the sea,” the man in the suit said.
“Will this alert the enemy instead?” Sakurai Tokimasa was worried
“No, I guess they can’t even figure it out. The weapon is a weapon, and only when it comes out of its sheath, will people know who it’s going to kill,” the man commented.
“I think Mr. Gatsby is right.” A crisp sound rang, accompanied by the sound of someone munching on a watermelon.
There was another table in this small Japanese-style compartment, which was filled with food. There were four full plates of watermelons, unlike the simple and delicate sashimi placed on the table where Sakurai Tokimasa and the aristocratic man were sitting.
The only diner on the table was a beautiful girl with long hair. She had an oval-shaped face, big eyes and long black hair, which was the image of an anime lady in the otaku’s mind. There was a heavy sniper gun on the wall behind her.
The aristocratic man was stunned and explained, “I’m not Gatsby. You can call me Mr. William.”
The girl looked up, her mouth full of watermelon juice. She muttered and nodded twice. “You are not as handsome as Gatsby.”
The aristocratic man was speechless. With a slight twitch in his forehead, he knew who the girl was talking about. He was a famous actor who played the role of Gatsby. He had an angular square face, with his hair combed back, much like his image at this time. However, by comparing an actor to him, William felt insulted. He was born into an aristocratic family in the United Kingdom, and a marquis appeared at the height of his family’s glory.
The pride of the British aristocracy was the pride of the world’s aristocracy, which had nothing to do with power and money. It was pride that they were born with.
“Yukinako, you look like an uneducated country girl.” Sakurai Tokimasa reprimanded.
Yukinako stuck out her tongue and dared not answer back, continuing to nibble on the watermelon.
She was a very unruly girl, and the elders of the family called her a wild girl. She lost her parents since her childhood and was raised by her grandfather’s younger brother, Sakurai Tokimasa.
The most glorious period of the Sakurai family was the rising demon descendant families after the Sino-Japanese naval war in the early 19th century. After the Eight-Nation Alliance, this huge family suddenly fell into the doldrums and no one knew why.
The family was very secretive about that period of history. By World War II, the Sakurai family was already a marginalised family amongst Japan’s demon descendant community.
During World War II, Japan was full of soldiers. The demon descendants followed the Japanese invasion of China and wreaked havoc. However, the outcome of World War II was a painful history for Japan and a terrible thing to remember.
The loss of Japan’s demon descendant families and the post-war depression had helped the marginalized family. They had a turnaround and rose rapidly.
Sakurai Tokimasa said, “What else can you do besides gnawing watermelon? You screwed up when I asked you to assassinate the Li family descendant. In my days, you would have to commit seppuku to atone for your sins.”
Sakurai Yukinako snarked back, “A watermelon as big as this one costs 3000 yen in the supermarket, but only 20 yuan in China. I have earned almost 2600 yen by eating one. If I eat ten a day, I will make ten million yen a year. You can make money by eating.”
Sakurai Tokimasa grew more frustrated.
William was struck by the Japanese girl’s reasoning. “Interesting idea. In the Chinese language, this is called you have an interesting way of thinking.”
Yukinako shook her head. “No, in the Chinese language, I’m what you will call an idiot.”
“You have gone astray in China,” Sakurai Tokimasa lectured.
Although I don’t understand, I know it’s not a good word.
“I find that the curse vocabulary of the Chinese is very rich, unlike our country, where we only curse Baka all day. I learned a lot of different curses where I can use in different occasions. I was in Shanghai, where the driver took the longer route. I cursed, ‘F*** your mother,’ and he almost got out of the car and hit me.”
“This is called uncouth.” Sakurai Tokimasa commented.
“This is certainly one of the reasons, but I think Mandarin is the most perfect language in the world.” Yukinako said.
Japanese curse words were indeed very scarce. In Japan, “bakayarou” was a relatively harsh curse word. “Kuuki Yomenai” was a very, very harsh curse word.
Unlike in China, one wouldn’t be able to finish saying all the swear words in three days and three nights. It had something to do with national quality and with language. Mandarin was indeed the most perfect and developed language. Japanese mixed with Mandarin was the best proof.
In the Asian circles, Chinese was better than Japanese and Japanese was better than Korean. Korean was a lower-level language than Japanese. When Koreans speak, they like to mix in English phrases from time to time.
The Chinese do so to show off but it wasn’t the case for them. Many times they cannot express meaning in the Korean, so they use English instead.
The former Korean language was a vassal that belonged to the Chinese, also called the Chinese culture circle. Of course, South Korea strongly denies this now.
William brought the subject back to normal. “We have exhausted the dragon bone and there is no time to spend decades building a new Soul Destroying Javelin. I consulted with representatives of several other countries to come up with a solution.”
Sakurai Tokimasa asked, “What solution?”
“The Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi can replace the last Soul Destroying Javelin. The alliance hopes that the Sakurai family can take the lead and help us borrow the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi.” William threw out a shocking request.
“No way.”
“Don’t rush to refuse, we’ll offer a right price.”
...
The parties dined from noon until three o’clock in the afternoon, and the aristocratic man from the United Kingdom left contentedly.
Sakurai Tokimasa knelt down on the tatami and looked at the sake in his hand, dazed.
“Why must we destroy the Unparalleled War Spirit?” Yukinako asked.
“Wait until you beat the girl from the Aoki family. Now, you don’t have the right to be involved in such a confidential matter.”
Sakurai Tokimasa looked up and muttered to himself, “Unparalleled War Spirit, have you ever lost?”
