Battle Frenzy

Chapter 4

Fate Trickster Simba unexpectedly jumped out of the rainbow, flipping through the air before landing gracefully. His landing wasn’t that stable, however, and he fell onto his butt.

“Wang Zhong, why are you so late tonight!?” The little clown floated in the air as he spun in a circle, dancing and expressing his joy.

“Today is my birthday, as well as the day I step into adulthood. It’s fine if you don’t have a birthday gift for me, but I never would have thought you’d forgotten. Come here! You lost yesterday, so let me pinch your nose now. Don’t even think about going back on your promise!” Wang Zhong gave Simba a big smile as he waved him over. The only reason he was able to survive and persevere through these past ten years was because of Simba’s presence.

The Fate Trickster played fantastical games of every description with him. During the first five years, they had gone through countless eccentric drills, such as learning the language of beasts and the cultural heritage of the olden days. In the final five years, the Fate Trickster would transform into all sorts of monsters to play with Wang Zhong. He truly deserved the glorified name of ‘Shapeshifter.’ With abilities like his, he would naturally want to make some bets with Wang Zhong. With a character like Simba, Wang Zhong’s dreamland had never been lonely again.

Simba subconsciously retreated. “Cough cough. Brat, of course the Fate Trickster won’t go back on his word. It’s just that we have more important things to talk about today.” Simba said this with a deadpan expression, but the more serious he looked, the more comical he appeared. As long as it wasn’t during a trial by fire, Simba would always act in an exceptionally amusing and playful manner.

“You’ve already used this excuse many times before. But,” Wang Zhong said with a smile, “since we can be considered brothers, I’ll listen to your so-called important matter once more.”

With a flip of Simba’s hand, a three dimensional image appeared depicting a qi sea filled with vitality.  Floating in the air, the qi sea was soon enveloped by a jaw dropping brilliance, as if it were being sealed. Afterwards, only a faint amount of qi could be detected from it.

Wang Zhong twiddled his fingers while giving the clown’s nose a malicious gaze. “Why are you projecting my soul sea again? The consequences for ridiculing me are quite severe.”

“Cough cough. Do you really take me for that kind of person? Be a bit more serious. This marvelous Fate Trickster has an important matter to talk about today,” Simba said with a roll of his eyes.

Everyone who awakened would possess a soul sea. The soul sea was the origin of soul power, and was the key to accessing the power of the hyperdimension. Naturally, the soul sea was merely a name, and the average person’s soul sea was only the size of a puddle.

Wang Zhong was different, however, as his soul sea had actually grown to the size of a sea under the continuous nourishment of the Fate Stone. It was just that the Fate Stone wasn’t truly an existence of this world, and since it violated the laws of this world, the order of the world tried to destroy it. But the Fate Stone’s power exceeded imagination. When the power of order and the Fate Stone collided, it had caused the Inca tsunami. Right now, these two fantastical powers were in a state of equilibrium within Wang Zhong. The seal on this power was similar to that of withstanding the tide in a science fiction blockbuster movie.

The hexagram, with the power of the worldly laws, had shrouded the Fate Stone. By coincidence, however, Wang Zhong’s soul sea had also been affected, bringing about a disaster to it. It was fortunate that Wang Zhong was a living being. Under the influence of these two contradictory forces, his negligible strength was like a rock that had been cracked open, allowing the grass an opportunity to live. Similar to that rock, a crack had appeared on the seal, which gave Wang Zhong a chance at survival. It was just that the leaked soul power was pitifully little.
