Chapter 9: The Blood Demon’s Deterrence

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Blood Demon was shocked by Yu Chen’s performance and said excitedly, ‘Kid, do you know what it means to acquire a white top-grade talent?’

Yu Chen was puzzled. ‘What?’

According to what Yu Chen knew, it only meant that his cultivation speed would increase by a thousand times.

The Blood Demon said, ‘If I’m not mistaken, your top-grade talent is called ‘Genius’, right?’

Yu Chen frowned slightly. It seemed that the mighty figures of this world were really omnipotent. They could even see through this.

The Blood Demon continued, ‘The probability of awakening a low-grade ‘Genius’ talent is one in 8,308,000.’

‘The medium-grade only has a one in 8,308,000 multiplied by 8,308,000 chance.’

‘The probability of acquiring a high-grade talent is reduced by 8,308,000 times the base probability of the middle-grade talent.’

‘The probability of acquiring a top-grade talent is reduced by another 8.38 million times.’

‘This probability is infinitely close to zero. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be only two people with top-grade talent on the continent after so many years.’

‘What’s even crazier is that your top-grade talent is actually a talent to increase your cultivation speed. This is really enviable…’

‘Even I’m a little jealous of you.’

Could it be that Yu Chen was the illegitimate son of the Heavenly Dao?

Otherwise, how could he have such good luck?

After hearing the Blood Demon’s explanation, Yu Chen was not happy. Instead, he was worried that his ability would bring him disaster.

After transmigrating and experiencing several things, Yu Chen knew that the people here had no concept of law at all.

If he awakened such a good talent, wouldn’t he be envied and killed?

Fortunately, only the Blood Demon knew about this.

Meanwhile, the Blood Demon was trapped on the 18th level of the Heavenly Prison and could not pose a threat to Yu Chen.

Thinking of this, Yu Chen began to cultivate.

What he didn’t know was that his awakened talent had been exposed to all the cultivators on the continent…

…

The Heavenly Prison.

From the outside, it was just an exquisite little pagoda the size of a palm.

The smell of blood slowly scattered from the top.

Inside the tower, a beam of light shot out and transformed into a giant several feet tall.

The giant grabbed the prison from afar.

Then, the small tower got closer to the giant’s chest and turned into a red tattoo that covered most of its body. The tattoo was stuck on the giant’s chest.

The giant looked up at the sky and saw dozens of streams of light quickly shooting over from the edge of the sky in all directions.

The giant stood with his eyes closed and his arms crossed over his chest, waiting.

Before long, the lights approached.

It turned out that these were the Grand Elders and leaders of the superpowers.

“Xing Wanhong, hand over my disciple and I’ll spare your life.”

A sage-like old man was the first to arrive. His gaze first locked onto the pagoda tattoo on Xing Wanhong’s body before he immediately berated him.

Xing Wanhong opened his eyes and saw people arriving one after another.

Seeing the mighty figures appear one after another, Xing Wanhong couldn’t help but mock, “You guys aren’t dead yet? Hahaha!!”

His deep voice spread out like thunder.

However, the mighty figures were not in the mood to greet Xing Wanhong at all. Instead, they started discussing.

“The top-grade talent was awakened in this prison.”

“I can’t be wrong. There’s someone inside this prison who has awakened a top-grade talent.”

The Heavenly Dao Palace Master was the first to arrive. He immediately cupped his fists at many mighty figures and said, “Everyone, Xing Wanhong imprisoned my obedient disciple without distinguishing between right and wrong. He’s really infuriating.”

“If you are willing to help me save my disciple, I will reward you handsomely.”

When the other mighty figures heard this, they were unhappy.

“Brother Tian, you’re wrong. The person who awakened the top-grade talent is not your disciple, but the immortal of our Jiguang Sect.”

“We haven’t even seen him but we have started fighting. What’s the point? With the guy locked up in prison, I’m sure there’s something wrong with his morals.”

“Gentlemen, give me some face…”

Xing Wanhong looked at the arguing crowd and smiled disdainfully. “There’s no need to discuss this matter further. For so many years, no prisoner has been able to escape from me. This time will be no exception.”

“I don’t care what you want to do. I won’t release him until his sentence is over.”

The mighty figures panicked when they heard this.

Was there something wrong with Xing Wanhong’s brain?

So many people had come to snatch the legendary top-grade talent, but he had offended everyone.

Xing Wanhong saw that everyone’s expressions were not very good, as if they would attack him in the next moment.

Admittedly, he could not win against so many mighty figures.

But he did have a trump card!

Xing Wanhong sneered and said, “Hehe, let me make myself clear. If you want to take my prisoners, you have to step over my corpse!”

“It’s just… you guys have to think this through.”

“Without me, who among you can restrain the Blood Demon?”

Xing Wanhong was not afraid of the dozens of mighty figures around him.

At the mention of the Blood Demon, many mighty figures’ expressions changed drastically.

They recalled the humiliating past.

However, someone quickly changed the topic.

“Ahem… let’s talk.”

“Xing Wanhong, you have to know that not everyone in this prison is a criminal.”

“It’s also possible that the person who has awakened top-grade talent is wrongly accused.”

“It’s not like it hasn’t happened before!”

“Release that little fellow who has awakened his talent first. It won’t be too late to make a decision after we judge his crimes.”

“Yes, yes ~”

“That’s very clever.”

The mighty figures spoke one after another, each of them wanting to be the first to get information of the person who had awakened a top-grade talent.

Most of the people in the prison were criminals.

However, they still hoped that Yu Chen was innocent.

However, Xing Wanhong was not easily fooled. He continued, “Hehe… If you really want to take him away, I won’t be able to stop you.”

“There’s no need to say anything more about this matter. No one in my prison is innocent.”

“I will only release him when his sentence is over. In addition, no matter what you say, I will not change my mind.”

Since Xing Wanhong had said so, there was nothing the mighty figures could do.

Although they wanted to see the person who had awakened a top-grade talent, they did not want to attack Xing Wanhong.

That’s right. It’s not that they did not dare to or they could not win, it was that they did not want to.

The dozens of mighty figures here were basically ranked in the top hundred in the world. Xing Wanhong was nothing to them.

But the Blood Demon was different…

If they touched Xing Wanhong, no one would suppress the Blood Demon.

It was not worth letting the Blood Demon see the light of day just to fight for someone who had awakened a top-grade talent.

…

Yu Chen thought that he had only tapped on one talent point.

However, the result caused such a commotion.

Unfortunately, with Xing Wanhong around, those who wanted to contact Yu Chen could not send a message to him.

At this moment, Yu Chen was still sitting cross-legged in the prison and cultivating seriously.

Hearing the Blood Demon’s words, Yu Chen realized that he was still too weak.

If he was stronger, he wouldn’t have to worry about others killing him because they were jealous of his talent.

So…

Yu Chen decided to stay in Heavenly Prison and cultivate slowly.
