ASER - Chapter 118

Chapter 118: Expel It

In the 303 Dimensional Space, A'Diao hid inside the spatial Spirit Plant Body, turning all the Spiritual Energy to its maximum. Then, she took stock of all the remaining Spirit Cores on her person.

Excluding the 500 Level 5 Spirit Cores in the storage ring taken by Han Zhuo, she had a total of two thousand Level 5 Spirit Cores on her, and one Level 6 Spirit Core, all obtained when she dealt with the Shark King by making the shark pack fight amongst themselves.

She directly converted one thousand Level 5 Spirit Cores into 2 million energy points, raising Toilet to Level 10. The remaining one thousand Level 5 Spirit Cores were all fed to the two large Spirit Gates, allowing them to develop significantly here, their height and width doubling, and the amount of Spiritual Energy they released also became much larger.

Level: 10 (Current Energy 0/8,000,000, needs 8 million energy points to reach Level 11. Note: Level 10 provides 1000 cubic meters of storage space. Level 10 can automatically absorb environmental Spiritual Energy to upgrade all exchanged skills by +6 levels.)

Mental Power: 6,000,000.

Synchronized Spiritual Energy Release: 5000 strands.

Exchanged Skills:

1: Little Fists Pummel You to Death (lv16)

2: Eye-Shredding Gaze (lv16)

3: Talisman Mastery (lv16)

4: Talent Mastery (lv16)

5: XXX Turn into a Pig (lv16)

6: Body Armor (lv16)

7: Uncontrollable Emotions Gift Package (lv16)

Also Skills 101, 202, 303… all maxed out and finally at lv16.

Exchangeable Skills:

1: Intermediate Curse Speechcraft Blind Box (Randomly awakens a speechcraft curse skill, content as its name suggests. Exchange once requires 1 million Mental Power, upgrade once requires 500,000 Mental Power.)

2: Appoint Soldiers Summon Generals 404 Array (A group offensive grand array. Within this array, after using the Appoint Soldiers Summon Generals Daoist Art, it can enhance the might of the latter's soldiers and armor, as well as their ability to recover vitality and blood. Specific consumption is calculated based on the degree of soldier and general attrition, converted from Mental Power and one's own Spiritual Power. Exchange requires 30 million Mental Power, use once requires 5 million Mental Power, subsequent consumption is then calculated, upgrade once requires 10 million Mental Power.)

3: Mental Power Will Cultivation Method Volume Three (No exchange needed, can be directly imparted by Toilet through enlightenment.)

4: Natal Carrier Unified Attack Mode (No exchange needed, can directly attack using Toilet. Strength + Defense + Speed all increased by 30%. Consumes 1 million Mental Power per use, lasts for ten minutes.)

If the Spiritual Energy released by the two large Spirit Gates now gushed out continuously like a spray, then the Spiritual Energy released by Toilet was completely liquid. It was like a large faucet, a large fountain gushing out a massive amount of spirit liquid, quickly turning the interiors of 101 and 202 into something like a pool.

A'Diao sat in the pool, her rate of progress far exceeding before, and her consumed Spiritual Power was also replenished at a terrifying speed...

Toilet: "The Level 16 Skill 303 can last for one day. According to the current amount of spirit liquid, it will take half an hour to fully replenish Spiritual Power. The rest can be used for cultivation."

A'Diao wasn't just cultivating; she was making preparations. She couldn't stay in this whale's stomach for long. She always felt that after the towline broke, this large whale should have sensed it. But it had no reaction at all; it must be preparing a big move.

There wasn't much time left for her.

"But I'm puzzled. Skill 303 is fixed. If it moved, it should be able to get away from me, and I would have escaped. Now I'm still in its stomach. Did it find out and deliberately not leave, or..."

Toilet: "Skill 303 is just a skill, and skills can be affected. Its stomach space itself contains strong acidity and corrosiveness; Skill 303 is being eroded. Also, as the skill initiator and the controller of the Dimensional Space, you, although you severed the towline, Skill 303 itself was towed. Didn't you notice? It's like it swallowed your space with its own internal spatial sac and is running with you. Speaking of which, whale swallowing can actually be considered a spatial skill. This large whale understands space. If it reaches Level 8, the spatial pressure under its internal control could probably crush Skill 303."

Reminded by it, A'Diao indeed noticed. Damn! A Level 7 Demonic Spirit was indeed hard to deal with.

However, the Level 6 Great Bird King almost destroyed Skill 303. It wasn't surprising that this large whale could lock onto Skill 303.

Once A'Diao's Spiritual Power was fully restored, she took out the Level 6 Spirit Core and attempted to create a Level 6 energy explosion talisman. This thing, combined with her Spiritual Power, could very likely injure a Level 7 Demonic Spirit if it exploded. But the prerequisite was to find this large whale's weak spot.

And she also had to combine her strength with that of Han Zhuo outside.

Toilet: "There's only one Level 6 Spirit Core. If it fails, it's wasted."

The safest way was to cultivate to peak dual-A rank cultivation. Then attempt to break through to Forbidden Master. Once she broke through, forged a Spirit Core, and her strength leaped a tier, she would naturally not fear this Level 7 Demonic Spirit. Or she could try to cultivate Mental Spirit Attachment.

Both of these methods could effectively resolve the current crisis. But they required time, and what A'Diao lacked now was time.

A'Diao: "No choice. It has to succeed."

She was also very nervous. Because if she failed, and if this whale didn't give her time to cultivate, the previous two options would be in vain. It was better to take this shortcut and gamble.

About three hours later...

Outside, Han Zhuo had five Spiritual Energy-releasing Spirit Plant Bodies and a bound Spirit Gathering Array floating around him. He had recovered some Spiritual Power and healed some injuries. But his brow suddenly twitched, and he instantly leaped up, pointing his staff at the appearing A'Diao.

"Still attacking? Are you looking for death? Team up! Otherwise, we'll both die here!"

A'Diao said with a wry smile, "Look at the pool of gastric juice below. I was wondering why this big fish had no reaction. Turns out it's producing acid, planning to pickle us directly."

And it's sour and rotten flavored.

Han Zhuo turned his head to look, his expression changing slightly. Because the level of the acid pool had indeed risen a lot and was about to reach the place where they were perched.

After all, it was a matter of life and death. Previous conflicts could be temporarily set aside.

"How do we cooperate?" Han Zhuo asked directly.

A'Diao explained her plan and also took out the Level 6 energy explosion talisman.

Seeing the talisman, Han Zhuo also thought it was feasible. "Its weak spot will probably be hard to find. Besides its mouth, there's also..."

A'Diao blurted out: "Isn't there also its butt?"

Han Zhuo: "..."

---

Although the topic and purpose were quite indelicate, there were no outsiders here. Plus, in order to survive, they couldn't care about decorum. After some thought, Han Zhuo said: "Under normal circumstances, it's closed, unless..."

A'Diao rolled her eyes: "You're really not smart. It's normally closed, so if it's not normal, it'll open. Just make it feel like it needs to have diarrhea, won't that do it?"

Han Zhuo: "?"

A'Diao: "We'll take out some unwanted junk, like some metal equipment and so on, and stuff it into its stomach. Let its stomach distend, then won't it have the urge to excrete? I don't believe it can hold it in! If it were you, could you hold it in? As long as it can't hold it in, its butt will open. Of course, whales usually excrete liquid, so solids like us can't get out. But if we blast it open... won't we be expelled? And according to its characteristics, excretion usually happens in shallow waters near the sea surface; it will leave the deep sea. That's even better, lest we get caught by it and swallowed again here."

Are you really the legitimate son of a top-tier noble family?

Han Zhuo was almost brainwashed by A'Diao: Excrete, butt, hold it in, can't hold it in, blast open, expel...

Coupled with the surrounding stench, his stomach churned.

He interrupted A'Diao's eloquent speech, "You arrange it, I'll cooperate. Don't say any more, I'm going to puke."

Toilet: "I'm going to puke too."

A'Diao: "..."

What do you mean! I, the dignified legitimate son of the Taihang Mountain Zhao family, precious and noble, I haven't even puked, what are you puking for?!

But as long as he obeyed, it was fine. A'Diao enthusiastically led Han Zhuo to the location of the butt and took a look.

Indeed!

It had serrations and other energy clusters there, which seemed capable of shredding solids.

Seeing that the gastric juice was about to reach their feet, the two wasted no more time. Each of them took out a pile of less important things, the larger the volume, the better.

So Han Zhuo saw this person take out a super large bed, cabinets, and many ultra-luxurious home furnishings, as well as some miscellaneous equipment. Before long, they had blocked more than half of the stomach.

This was too terrifying. How large must her storage space be?

Then A'Diao stopped taking things out, feigning dissatisfaction. "What are you looking at? Aren't you taking anything out? What kind of person are you, trying to get a free ride to victory?"

Han Zhuo really didn't mean that. "I don't have these miscellaneous things."

"Even if you don't have them, you have to take something out. Then spend Spirit Cores to buy from me, I'll sell them to you."

"???"

Han Zhuo had just thought she was a spendthrift, but now he was proven wrong. "These things of yours aren't valuable..."

"They may not be valuable, but they have sentimental value. The cockroaches I, Zhao Ritian, personally raised are more precious than other people's ancestors. You want me to painfully part with these... can your conscience bear it?"

She was really too good at nagging; his ears were ringing non-stop.

Han Zhuo was naturally aloof and was about to be annoyed to death by her. He flung out ten Level 5 Spirit Cores.

"Fill it up!"

"Okay, boss."

"..."

The stomach was soon greatly distended. Even though acid continuously gushed out, corroding these objects, this large whale probably also felt very uncomfortable. Its body muscles kept squirming.

The butt area indeed also... hmm, showed signs of expelling.

A'Diao: "Use your strongest attack, don't hold back. Hiding your identity and pretending to be weak to prey on the strong is boring and shameless. Isn't it better to be open and honest?"

This person was shameless and still had the nerve to mock others.

But Han Zhuo didn't know. He now basically believed A'Diao was from the Zhao family. After all, someone who could easily take out a Level 6 energy explosion talisman at this time, and casually use Level 5 energy talismans to blast people—such a super spendthrift was rare in the Five Prefectures.

And... she indeed had other super-large storage spaces.

That storage ring was just for show. But even for show, it contained 500 Level 5 Spirit Cores. How much wealth did she have hidden?

Undoubtedly a spendthrift from the Zhao family.

"I'm not hiding anything. As for you, since you've recovered your strength, there's no need to hide and wait to ambush me after we get out," Han Zhuo also said coldly.

As if reminding her of something.

A'Diao had an expression of utmost righteousness, as if she had been insulted. "To measure the heart of a gentleman with a petty person's yardstick. How could I, a dignified disciple of the Zhao family, be such a shameless person? Enough talk, let's begin!"

A'Diao held the Level 6 explosion talisman between her fingertips and activated it.

"Go, explode!"

BOOM!!!

The Reef Whale truly hadn't expected the two humans it swallowed to have such a trick. Its stomach was already very uncomfortable, about to burst. So its body swam upwards, preparing to excrete. Suddenly, its butt's interior suffered such a violent explosive attack. It hurt so much that its body convulsed in the sea. After thrashing about, it controlled the energy clusters within its body to surge towards the two. It also poured gastric juice towards them, attempting a large-scale annihilation.

However, at this moment, A'Diao and Han Zhuo had already acted quickly.

Han Zhuo combined the five Spirit Plant Bodies... A'Diao's heart skipped a beat. A Spirit Carrier unified attack?

After the five Spirit Plant Bodies combined, they resembled an array diagram. The core sent out a beam of Spiritual Power light. It looked slender, but its intensity and speed were terrifying. It instantly blasted the wound on the butt, which was already a bloody mess from the explosion...

Simultaneously, as A'Diao observed Han Zhuo's technique, five energy talismans spun and burned at her fingertips. Five enhancements descended upon her.

Increased speed, increased sharpness, increased incineration, increased piercing, increased corrosion!

The two Spirit Clusters also merged. The energy intensity directly soared to the mid-rank Transcendent level. Plus the five enhancements...

"Metal Fusion, Sharp Blade!"

"Go!"

Han Zhuo saw that the metal elements from the various high-end equipment corroded by the acid pool had all become energy she could manipulate. In an instant, they transformed into streams of liquid metal, madly coalescing into a long, great sword, following a flick of her fingertip.

Go!

Both attacks reached the upper limit of an upper-rank Transcendent level attack.

Plus the damage from the Level 6 explosion...

BOOM!

The butt was completely blasted open. Amidst the whale's agonizing cry, the two quickly rushed out. After entering the sea, they continuously flew on their flight devices, getting closer and closer to the surface. But the Reef Whale below was enraged, roaring as it parted the seawater and chased upwards...

BOOM!!

The two emerged from the water surface one after the other. They were just a hundred meters from the water surface. They hadn't even felt the salty taste of the sea breeze on the surface when the Reef Whale below had already breached the surface, its tail furiously slapping towards them...

The fishtail was truly enormous, casting a shadow over them. The violent gust of energy was almost like a tsunami, capable of crushing the two of them.

The two were terrified and hastily dodged...

BOOM!!

The residual force of the blast still sent the two flying. A'Diao crashed into a nearby island, breaking several rocks. Han Zhuo fell onto the water surface. Just as he was about to sink, he flipped over, half-knelt on the water surface, pressed one hand on the water, and a circle of cold current emanated from his palm.

Buzz... The water surface froze, solidifying his position. But soon, this ice surface shattered. He wanted to jump up and escape on his flight device, but the Reef Whale's body suddenly released sonic rings.

This was a sonic attack with strong penetration. Ordinary Transcendent level Forbidden Masters would likely have their minds thrown into chaos and lose the ability to resist under this wave of sonic attack. But this Han Zhuo was clearly no ordinary person. Besides his strong mental body, a circle of ice-blue dark patterns suddenly flowed across his forehead, protecting his brain region. And while enduring such a sonic attack, he was already flying outwards on his flight device. But he suddenly felt constrained. Looking down, he saw several towlines entangled around him.

Damn it!

Han Zhuo coldly reminded towards the island, "Surname Zhao, it's useless for you to hide anymore. The towlines have already entangled you. If you don't team up with me, then we'll die together!"

A'Diao was indeed pondering how to untangle these towlines and escape—after all, this large whale was closer to Han Zhuo's side.

However, when she tried her old trick of using Mental Threads to sever them, she found that these towlines would automatically split. Clearly, this large whale had learned from experience and wouldn't let them escape so easily.

No matter how she tried to sever them, it was useless.

But A'Diao was surprised. These towlines were similar to Mental Threads. She tentatively assumed they were split from the large whale's mental body. Then how did it control the Mental Threads to split repeatedly?

One must know that it was already incredibly difficult for humans to control their mental bodies to split into threads, let alone for detached Mental Threads to split again.

Impressive.

If Qu Jiangnan also knew this trick, that would be truly terrifying. But she obviously didn't, and it seemed very difficult for humans to achieve.

Then, did Sister Qu back then also get inspiration from studying these powerful primordial Demonic Spirits to create Mental Spirit Attachment?

She didn't know if she could sublimate this further in the future. Knowing that this whale's ability to split the towlines again could render her helpless, then conversely, if she could do the same to other cultivators in the future, the effect would be equally astonishing.

Toilet: "You, who are still in the splitting stage and haven't even formally controlled it, are already counting your chickens before they hatch again. First, let's see how to survive."

Although it was complaining about A'Diao, A'Diao's actions were not actually chaotic. It was just that her mind was strong, and she had an epiphany about this secret, getting slightly distracted for a moment. However, her actions... Swoosh! A'Diao rode her flight device, rushing out of the island rainforest, the elemental staff spinning in her hand.

"Young man, you were the one who said it. Team up."

"Let's get it!"
