Chapter 32: The Sea King

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

It was three o’clock in the morning but the lights in Lu Wu’s bedroom were still on.

Bei Li was snacking on chips as she raised her head occasionally to peek at Lu Wu who was cudgeling his brain for ideas.

Meanwhile, several papers were laid out in front of Lu Wu. There were sketches of various settings and written remarks on the papers. As Lu Wu pondered over the issues, he continued to add more notes on the papers from time to time.

Being the secret King of Beiqi, he was having a rather tough time as some of the players were perturbing him.

Recently, the players had gotten increasingly aggressive in requesting the developers to implement a top-up system, causing a severe headache to Lu Wu.

After some contemplation, Lu Wu took a deep breath before he moved the mouse to wake the screen up from sleep mode, intending to look for useful advice from the players in the forum.

As he scrolled through the pages, Lu Wu was attracted by a player’s video game live stream which was pinned on top of the timeline.

The title of the post said, “A Battle by the Sea that You Wouldn’t Want to Miss!”

After he clicked on the link, Lu Wu realized that this player was at the boundary of Liuli District and the Underworld Sea. The player was laying on his belly on a steep cliff by the sea. From above, he captured the scene under the cliff and streamed it for the other gamers of the forum.

Lu Wu had no idea how the player trespassed the territory of Cha Na, the Ghost General. His attention was quickly drawn by the numerous sea monsters that were rushing toward the shore from the offing of the Underworld Sea.

At the ocean, the water level continued to rise, eventually forming a huge wave that appeared as though it was going to swamp the entire place.

Riding on the wave was a sea monster that resembled a whale but was way larger in size. A naked man was standing on the back of the sea monster with a trident in his hand.

“Cha Na! Show yourself!”

“Roar!”

The sound waves of the man’s enraged roar turned into an almost realistic ripple and rolled onto the shore.

“What the hell is this monster? Its roar caused me to lose more than 10 points of HP and I’m now stuck in a negative state of chaos!”

The player who was overlooking the event ranted grumpily.

In the comment section:

“Bro, I’ll pay for your potions. Stop moving the camera. You might accidentally miss the great war of the NPC.”

“Stay calm. It seems like the NPC on the back of the whale wants to challenge Cha Na. He’s so bold!”

“The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Naked man on the whale, I support you to beat the bastard up!”

“Who is this man? Is he Poseidon? He’s making a grand entrance.”

“Haha, brother, have you been watching too many movies? He looks like the future self of the most popular livestreamer, the beast tamer. Can’t you see all the sea monsters in the ocean that have been domesticated by him?”

“Cha Na! Show yourself!”

Another deafening howl resonated. The trees at the shore were shaken violently by the sound wave that propagated through the atmosphere.

“Oh god, please stop crying. It’s causing ringing in my ears. Oh no, I need my medication.”

The player who was live streaming the incident took out a red potion with a dejected expression and poured it into his mouth. He was worried that he would be instantly killed by the creature’s next cry.

Followed by the monster’s howl, a chilly wind swirled pass the shore. Then, six undersized silhouettes appeared out of nowhere, carrying a huge skeleton throne on their shoulders.

“Sea King, don’t push me too far!” as Cha Na spoke and confronted the overbearing Sea King from afar, flaming fire was aroused around his throne.

“I’m pushing you too far? So, what can you do about it?”

The Sea King lifted his trident with a dauntless face. Suddenly, all the sea monsters raised their heads and shrieked in synchrony.

Cha Na seemed to be upset by the Sea King’s words as he replied with a scowl, “Sea King, I have always respected you as the king of the ocean. However, you have been disdaining me.”

“I don’t need you to acknowledge my status. I respected the King of Beiqi when he was still alive. But now, you are nothing to me.”

At the comment section:

“He is such a domineering Poseidon. I want to bear his babies. (From a girl who is addicted to the game)”

“This is great! The betrayer Cha Na is a son of a bitch! Punch him! Punch him!”

“This Poseidon is so fearless and manly! I feel as if my heart has been conquered by him!”

“Damn! That’s awesome, brother! He must have learned it from Haoshoku Haki. I’ll bet 1 soul coin on him.”

“Upon seeing the great ocean and our brother, Poseidon, I doubt if there are still pirates out there. Anyone wants to join me for a treasure hunt?”

…...

The Sea King’s words unreservedly humiliated Cha Na, causing Cha Na to appear increasingly resentful.

He clenched his fists and stood up abruptly from the skeleton throne. With his tall height, he overlooked the ocean.

“Since you want war, I’ll fight with you!”

“Haha! So, you’ve decided not to be a coward anymore? I reckon that you’re prepared for this war since you rejected my request. Am I right?”

Cha Na, who was ready to attack, suddenly paused his action, appearing confused.

“Did I turn you down?” I clearly remember that I told Du Yan to accept the offer. How did it turn into a refusal?

Noticing that Cha Na had stopped in his tracks, the Sea King sneered and raised his trident. Immediately, the sea churned chaotically and a gigantic wave rose from the water, which was at least a hundred meters tall. The wall of water rushed toward the shore mercilessly.

“Sea King, wait a minute! I think we’re having a misunderstanding!”

“Weakling!” the Sea King’s eyes were filled with contempt. The enormous wave continued to strike toward the shore as the Sea King had no intention to stop it.

Boom! The wave hit the shore. The skeleton throne which was carried by the six undersized creatures disappeared in a flash, leaving the man’s silhouette in place.

“Roar!” Cha Na’s figure expanded constantly followed by his bark and he transformed into a livid-faced giant with fangs and the height of more than 10 meters.

Coupled with several loud slaps, the billow repeatedly thrashed his muscular body.

The Sea King, who mounted on the huge whale, let out a long howl. The sea monsters began to approach the shore and surround Cha Na as though they understood his order.

“Sea King! When did I dismiss your demand? I’ve promised to offer you a hundred thousand sacrifices every year. Why are you still putting pressure on me?”

Surrounded by the army, Cha Na waved his hand and countless Ghost Wolf Riders and Steel Beast Riders appeared on the shore.

Upon hearing Cha Na’s words, the Sea King bent down as water spouted from the blowhole of the huge whale beneath his feet. The waterspout then launched his body toward the shore as though he was a missile.

Looking at the Sea King who was advancing toward him, Cha Na’s pupils contracted and all of his muscles tensed up. He then yelped and raised his fist.

Both of their fists collided and a gust of wind was instantly formed by the eruptive force, blowing away many of the sea monsters.

Drip. Drip.

At where their fists met, dark blood ran down their skin. Cha Na staggered backward.

The Sea King descended to the ground.

“Cha Na, I don’t know why you have the audacity to reject me,” the Sea King spoke scornfully as he looked at Cha Na’s pale face.

“Sea King, I told you. I’ve agreed with your request. Why are you still upset with me? Something is wrong here.”

Cha Na was shocked to learn the powerful strength within the Sea King’s body. The Sea King’s true strength was obviously far beyond his expectations.

Cha Na was no match for the Sea King.
