Chapter 118: Hero: Gongsun Sheng

[Nie Xiaoqian]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-2]

[Quasi-Commander]

[Introduction: She was born in a noble family and buried in Lanruo Temple after she was murdered… When she arrives, she chooses to abandon her ghost self and restore the human body. She’s good at music and painting!]

Ji Ye wasn’t too surprised that Nie Xiaoqian could arrive through a Quasi Commander-level Soul of Civilization.

That was because the “Elite” Nie Xiaoqian on the Battlefield of Providence was her weakened version. Having survived the attacks of Yan Chixia, who was theoretically Transcendent, many times, Nie Xiaoqian must be stronger than she looked.

Even though her rating might have slightly dropped as a penalty for her death, it was enough for her to recoup the loss when she successfully absorbed all the mental power of a Quasi-Commander Mirage Monster after her arrival.

Well, Nie Xiaoqian’s successful absorption must’ve had something to do with her ghost status before her arrival. After all, ghosts were good at creating illusions too, so she wasn’t under a lot of pressure when faced with the Mirage Monster’s attack!

“It’s really Nie Xiaoqian…”

“Why has Nie Xiaoqian appeared in a Water Margins settlement?”

“Is it because of the rare offering? But Nie Xiaoqian seems to have already known Master and even hooked up with him…”

The newcomers outside the Temple of Providence were whispering to each other, but the old guys mostly guessed the reason.

However, the discussions soon stopped.

Hum!

That was because the Dragons of Providence had already spewed out a golden light to the second offering, which was Extraordinary Rank-4 Perfect “Mirage Dragon Tooth”!

Hit by the golden light, the view within the Mirage Dragon Tooth was magnified and manifested in the whole Temple of Providence. For a moment, the whole temple was turned into a surging sea of white clouds.

In the middle of the cloud sea, a creature whose upper body was a dragon and whose lower body was a Mirage Monster was fighting a dozen creatures who looked like Mirage Monsters.

Apart from them, a Soul of Civilization was floating in the middle of the sea emitting the white glow that represented Extraordinariness.

“My hat is decorated with jade. My robe eclipses the clouds. I learn the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique from a true deity, and I will become a deity myself…”

At the same time, clear and magnificent poetic announcements echoed among the clouds from all directions.

It sounded a lot more unworldly than when the previous heroes arrived.

“Is he… another Daoist?”

Ninth Uncle was slightly surprised to hear the announcement.

Then, excitement appeared in his eyes.

He was an heir of the Maoshan Sect and a legitimate Daoist. He was a famous and popular hero on the Twin Dragon Mount. Many Earth players had tried to be his disciples after they arrived.

However, Ninth Uncle had always felt somewhat lonely.

After all, while more and more heroes and natives were coming, almost all of them were pure martial artists!

He was a Daoist priest who caught ghosts. He could barely talk to anyone about his expertise.

In particular, because of his demotion, even the Five Thunder Art, the most important skill of the Maoshan Sect, only had the rune methods left. They could be used to deal with ghosts but not the aliens such as the Sludge Monsters or the Forest Monsters!

So, although many people wanted to be his disciples, he only accepted Mister Bug’s request because he didn’t want to waste their time.

At this moment, judging from the poetic announcement, whoever was arriving must be another Daoist, and the man had been taught Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique!

Although it wasn’t the same as the Maoshan Sect’s Five Thunder Art, it was another thunder skill of the Daoist School, and the two skills must be similar. After this fellow Daoist arrived, he could discuss with him and try to make Daoism thrive on the Twin Dragon Mount!

“Just like what I expected…”

Naturally, Ji Ye was unaware of what Ninth Uncle was thinking.

He had foreseen who would arrive, but even so, his eyes were filled with excitement!

The hero, whose identity had been confirmed through the poetic announcement, was definitely unique in the Liangshan Marsh.

As a world that contained historical, wuxia, and demon elements, Water Margins included not just warriors and generals but also sorcerers who could cast spells!

For example, Ma Ling and Qiao Daoqing who worked for Tian Hu, Bao Daoyi under Fang La’s command, Gao Lian who was Gao Qiu’s brother and worked in the court, and He Zhongbao who was a deputy general in the Kingdom of Liao…

Among all these people, Gongsun Sheng, the Dragon in the Clouds who ranked fourth in the Liangshan Marsh, was definitely the most formidable one, because he never failed once against the other sorcerers. He could definitely be called “perfect” for that!

More importantly, Gongsun Sheng’s teacher was “Master Luo”, who had the highest cultivation in Water Margins apart from the real gods such as the Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens.

Master Luo knew the past, the future, and Gongsun Sheng’s destiny. He could even turn gourds into living people and transform handkerchiefs into clouds, and he had a thousand puppets that could catch Li Kui alive.

Theoretically speaking, Master Luo would be at least Transcendent, if not Legendary, on the Land of Inheritance. With the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique that he taught, Gongsun Sheng was undoubtedly qualified to challenge the Mirage Dragon Tooth, a Perfect offering!

While Ji Ye was thinking, the Soul of Civilization in the clouds had turned into a person.

“…”

Watching the Mirage Dragon fighting the Mirage Monsters, the person thought for a moment and then chanted a spell.

“Quick!”

A golden light burst out in the clouds, and a ten-foot-tall general clad in golden armor appeared in the clouds with a golden fox. He attacked the Mirage Monsters together with the Mirage Dragon.

The battle on the clouds became even more brilliant. The Mirage Dragon and the divine warrior fought a dozen Mirage Monsters so intensely that the clouds were surging.

However, the Mirage Dragon Tooth deserved to be a Perfect offering. The Mirage Dragon could not secure a victory even though the golden-armored warrior was helping.

It was really difficult to suppress a Perfect offering that had Transcendent powers. The battle was caught in an impasse!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

In the middle of the impasse, two Mirage Monsters suddenly darted their sharp-edged round plates at the person formed by the Soul of Civilization, obviously trying to finish the battle by killing him!

However, they clearly chose the wrong target. The person formed by the Soul of Civilization reacted fast and dodged away from the two sharp-edged round plates more than easily.

He even keenly seized the opportunity when the two Mirage Monsters attacked him.

Pew!

The golden-armored warrior cut one of the Mirage Monsters apart with his axe, reducing it into smoke.

Gongsun Sheng wasn’t just capable of casting spells. He had been exercising with spears and rods since childhood, and he knew multiple martial arts.

The fake Mirage Monsters created by the power of Mirage Monsters lost all their advantages!

Pew! Pew! Pew!

Now that one of the Mirage Monsters was gone, the situation on the battlefield was instantly changed.

The Mirage Dragon and the golden-armored general had advantages and soon eliminated all the other Mirage Monsters!

Pew!

When the last Mirage Monster was shattered by the golden-armored warrior’s axe, the warrior disappeared into the golden light himself.

After that, all the clouds began to roll and concentrate, and the Mirage Dragon at the center, motivated by the Twin Dragon Mount’s power of providence, turned from a Mirage Dragon into a white “dragon aura”!

In the end, the clouds and the dragon aura melted into a white sword that was enshrouded by dragons of mists and fell into the hand of the newcomer.

At this moment, Gongsun Sheng finally revealed his real face. He was wearing a Daoist robe, and his eyes were vigorously glittering!

“It’s good to see you, Master. Thank you for giving me this sword!”

Holding the Cloud Dragon Sword, Gongsun Sheng walked to Ji Ye and paid respect to him in the Daoist’s way with a smile.

[Gongsun Sheng]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-4]

[Rarity: Commander]

[Introduction:

[Nickname: Dragon in the Clouds.

[Title: The Heavenly Wandering Star.

[He is the deputy advisor of the army in the Liangshan Marsh. He can change the weather and turn runes into soldiers. He’s good at the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique!]

“Mr. Gongsun!”

All the other heroes from Water Margins bowed at Gongsun Sheng.

It was not just because Gongsun Sheng’s ranking was higher, but because he was truly an indispensable person in the Liangshan Marsh and had done favors to everybody here.

After he achieved his goal, Gongsun Sheng wasn’t obsessed with power but returned to the mountain and continued practicing Daoism as his teacher instructed.

Such a man was definitely admirable!

After regaining their memories, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, and the others might not respect Song Jiang too much, but they were all respectful toward Gongsun Sheng.

“I’ll get out of the way. Somebody else will arrive here!”

After the small talk, Gongsun Sheng shook his sleeve and walked out of the Temple of Providence with a smile.

That was because the last offering in the Temple of Providence had been activated by the power of providence and was now showing some response!
