Armipotent - Chapter 1679: Second World Congress and Earth Tournament (2)

The first thing Tang Shaoyang did after returning from a two-month-long mission was to eat his wife’s food. He missed real food after eating grilled meat with no seasoning for one month. He ate the food not to fill his belly; in fact, he never really got hungry, but it was for the taste.

Tang Shaoyang never got bored with Elin’s cooking, and it got better and better. In two months, he already could feel the difference in the food from the ones he shared with his team members. It was still the same cuisine, but he did know how this one tasted better.

Enjoying the food, he sensed someone trying to probe him. It was a curious probe, and only people close to him could get on this floor. He was not mad by the probe but got curious about who did.

He turned around, and Tang Xiulan also turned around as if she felt it too. Both saw Lu An on the floor on his knees. He found it funny and chuckled.

“Why are you on the floor?”

He figured it out Lu An did it and said nothing. It was just funny to see his brother on the ground, on his knees.

“Can you get up?”

Zhang Mengyao offered her hand, but Lu An shook his head. He was about to stand on his own, but his legs were shaky, trembling. He was about to fall again, but Zhang Mengyao caught him.

“Still acting tough, hah?” She shook her head and carried him over to the table with one hand. She grabbed his clothes, carrying him like a cat.

Tang Shaoyang was confused because he did not use his aura on Lu An despite the probing.

“What happened?”

Zhang Mengyao told Tang Shaoyang what she said to Lu An. About what they perceived when they looked at him.

“I see,” Tang Shaoyang nodded his head, “Demi-God and God Rank are totally different ranks, the gap is too big. Your chance to win against me is zero if you are still in Demi-God Rank.”

Even though what he said did not apply to him, it was for most of the cases. He was an exception because of his class and bloodline. He had to admit how lucky he was now.

As they ate together, Tang Shaoyang told them what he had been doing for the last two months. Calamity was still a new term for them even though this was the second time they heard about calamity.

Afterward, Zhang Mengyao updated her task to eradicate the zombie. She managed to eradicate the zombie army in the north, but she failed to kill the leader. As Tang Shaoyang predicted, the leader was the same zombie who killed their expansion team a long time ago, a zombie emperor.

Lu An also shared his difficulty and asked whether Tang Shaoyang encountered the same problem.

Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow and shook his head, “I don’t know inheriting a bloodline would have such a side effect. How is it now? Can you control it? Or do you want me to look for a new bloodline for you?”

Lu An shook his head, “No, I don’t want to change my bloodline. It’s fine for now, but I need someone to accompany me who can keep me in check. Can you ask Greed to accompany me for a year? Greed should be strong enough to suppress me, right?”

Talking about Greed, he remembered he had not seen Greed, Pride, and Wrath during his first return. He forgot about them because of the twins. Checking his connection with them, he still could feel the connection. They were alive, but he did not know where this Dark Predator ran to.

“I can ask, but I don’t know where he is right now. I haven’t met them since my first return. I will call them back now.”

Tang Shaoyang did not even know their current rank. He was so busy with the things in his hand that he forgot about them. The little cat and golden lizard that always followed him.

They responded to his signal and told him they would return soon. He found out the trio had been exploring the Dimensional as three. They did not focus on climbing, more like looking for something on each floor. They would explore it until their maps fully open. They even had the location of the other starter cities.

“What about Delia?”

He remembered Delia also inherited a Primal Bloodline, Cosmos Serpent. He was worried that it had a side effect on Delia as well.

“She is fine. There are no side effects in her bloodline, and she also has gotten closer with Li Na.”

Zhang Mengyao updated on the twins as well as Delia. He was relieved to hear that Delia was fine. He did not know what to say if something happened because of the bloodline he gave her.

“Are you going to leave again soon?”

Picking the dumpling and putting it into his mouth, he nodded at Zhang Mengyao, “Maybe. If we get a good mission, then I will probably leave again. What’s wrong, do you miss me?”

“I miss you, of course, but there will be an Earth Tournament in fifteen days and the World Congress after the tournament. Aren’t you going to join?”

Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow, “It started earlier this year?”

“I don’t know, but we got the notification as VIP Faction a few days ago. Didn’t you receive the same invitation?”

He shook his head, “Nope. Did everyone receive the invitation or only you?”

“Me and Kang Xue received the invitation.”

“Then maybe because I am not on Earth, that was why you and Kang Xue got the invitation instead of me.”

That was his guess, “I don’t mind joining the congress, but isn’t it a bit too much for me to join the tournament?”

Zhang Mengyao rolled her eyes at her husband, “I am not asking you to join, but I want you to choose the team. Don’t you have to watch them as well? It’s important for the team morale if you show up.”
