Tribulation of Myriad Races

Liu Hong was left quite speechless, even if that was indeed what he meant. But why was Su Yu giving him all the credit? He most certainly didn’t want to offend this dog.

Fortunately, Fat Ball wasn’t offended. Instead, he looked thoughtful. ”Are you saying that I’m too kind after being raised in my master’s household? I need to grow vicious?”

Su Yu said, ”More or less.”

Fat Ball growled, but soon, his expression turned gloomy. ”I don’t know how to be fierce. Why don’t you take a look and see if I’m really fierce?”

He growled again. He even opened his eyes wide to glare at Su Yu. But he still looked like a puppy. In fact, Su Yu even had the urge to give Fat Ball a pat on his head. Yes, this was certainly not fierce.

Fat Ball’s plump body didn’t help either. He certainly did not have the image of a fierce dog. After spending over a hundred thousand years gardening, he looked incredibly friendly and adorable—cough. In short, he did not look like a ferocious beast.

Su Yu had an idea how he could change this, but that wasn’t something he wanted to do.

To the side, Liu Hong, He Tu, and the others resisted the urge to laugh.

This was the perfect demonstration of how someone would only look more adorable when trying to be fierce.

Noticing the reaction of the others, Fat Ball grew dispirited. ”What can I do? I don’t know how to grow fierce.”

He felt terrible. Was he going to be stuck forever?

After a short silence, Su Yu said, ”Perhaps...that’s a form of instinct as well. I have an idea, but are you willing to try it? I actually think that you’re good enough the way you are.”

”Is that so? But I wish to grow strong! As you said, Master is awaiting my rescue!”

After a short silence, Su Yu said, ”That was a lie.”

”What?”

”Your master is dead. He only left some willpower remnant behind. Everything was a lie. Even your Little Master is dead. All dead. I have been making use of you. I said all those lies to make you fight for me. Do you understand now?”

Fat Ball stared at Su Yu blankly.

Su Yu continued, ”They are all dead. I saw Culture King’s corpse behind the Heaven Gate. It suffered a terrible fate. A bunch of wild beasts was feasting upon his corpse. Bit by bit, they ate Culture King, subjecting him to an eternal torture.”

Slowly, Fat Ball’s eyes turned red.

”You...lied?”

Su Yu nodded, ”Yes. I have never been honest with you. I lack combatants at the level of Venerables. I have been trying to make you fight for me.”

”Roar!”

A deafening roar rang out. Fat Ball grew countless times bigger while his eyes turned crimson. ”You’re saying that...Master and Little Master are dead?”

”Dead.”

Su Yu gestured at Liu Hong and the others to leave.

”Why did you lie to me?”

”Because you’re stupid.”

Su Yu said, ”You’re so brainless, you’re the perfect thug to have. I won’t refuse a free thug like you.”

”I’ll bite you to death!”

Roar!

A gigantic mouth bit down on Su Yu.

Su Yu faced the mouth with a palm strike.

Fat Ball roared madly, ”They are not dead! No! This must be a lie! They’re not dead!”

Boom!

The palm struck Fat Ball’s mouth, causing Fat Ball to bleed. Su Yu continued, ”Nope. They’re really dead. I have grown stronger than you, so I don’t need to please you anymore. Remember, you’re only a dog. Apart from gardening, what do you know?”

”I’ll eat you!”

Howl!

A furious howl rang out. At the same time, numerous experts appeared nearby, looking at them with surprise. What happened? Why was Fat Ball going crazy? Noticing the newcomers, Liu Hong hurriedly gestured at them to move further away. He had a grimace on his face. Su Yu sure was cold.

He was able to drive Fat Ball mad with only a few words.

***

”Roar!”

In his rage, Fat Ball was reacting purely by natural instinct. He only wanted to kill Su Yu. He did not even remember to use his shoe.

Alas, Su Yu was no longer the same.

After sending Fat Ball flying with a punch, Su Yu coldly said, ”You’re too weak. Is this all you’re capable of? Eating me with only this? Your master has been torn apart. His flesh is being eaten bit by bit. Yet you can do nothing apart from gardening. What can you even do, you stupid beast?”

”Howl!”

Fat Ball raised his head and howled in fury. Once again, he grew larger. His white fur turned black.

”Awooo!”

The black dog bit down on Su Yu again. As Su Yu moved to face the attack, he frowned. His body was being dragged toward Fat Ball. Even his dao was being pulled over.

”Nom!”

Fat Ball bit down on thin air, but it somehow landed on Su Yu’s dao. Cracks started spreading over Su Yu’s dao.

Su Yu was greatly alarmed. He hurriedly released all his strength. As his aura surged, he sent Fat Ball flying with a punch.

But at that point, Fat Ball had turned mad. He opened his mouth wide and pounced on Su Yu yet again. At the same time, his dao power was growing stronger and stronger.

”Eat you!”

The gigantic mouth seemed capable of devouring everything. Once again, Su Yu felt himself being pulled toward that mouth. And once again, the mouth clamped shut.

A crack rang out.

Even more cracks spread along Su Yu’s dao. With a roar, Su Yu’s aura surged again as he sent another punch toward Fat Ball.

”Apart from growing flowers, what can you do?”

”You’re courting death!”

At that provocation, Fat Ball’s aura surged even more. Instantly, it caught up to Su Yu’s level. Prior to this, Fat Ball was only a heavenly king. He had to rely on the shoe to fight against Venerables. But now, his aura was growing beyond his original level as an incessant stream of dao power poured into his body.

Boom!

A wild and mad aura flooded the entire area. The projection of a black dog appeared above Fat Ball before biting down on Su Yu without making a noise. Sure enough, a dog would not bark before biting someone.

He was alarmed.

He hurriedly pulled back. With a crack, reality itself shattered around his previous position.

***

Great Zhou King was gasping with shock. He sent a voice transmission, ”Did he..reach the level of a Venerable?”

Fat Ball had never been a Venerable. That required his dao comprehension to reach the level of a Master of Law. But he did have that level of combat strength.

Wan Tiansheng nodded, ”Most likely.”

Facing the newly strengthened Fat Ball, even Su Yu was forced to stay on the defensive. After all, Fat Ball still had that shoe to unleash. But at the moment, it was clear that Su Yu still held an advantage over Fat Ball.

However, that was now what Wan Tiansheng was worried about. ”Fat Ball has gone mad. Is His Majesty not worried that he will remain mad?”

That would be true trouble. A completely mad Fat Ball would be a major trouble for them. All of them were worried about that. And the mad Fat Ball had even grown stronger. Could Su Yu suppress him in his current state?

***

Boom!

Yet another rumble rang out as reality shattered again. Fat Ball was no longer howling and roaring.

Despite his gigantic body, he was moving at an unbelievable speed. As he opened his mouth, a massive pulling force erupted, dragging Su Yu right toward him yet again.

Crack!

Yet another crack rang out. Fat Ball was attacking not only Su Yu’s body, but his dao as well.

Su Yu raised his brow.

Once again, his aura surged. But this time, a shoe descended from above.

Boom!

He threw a punch at the descending shoe, but it continued to fall. It struck him before lifting up, only to stomp down again. After several stomps, Su Yu’s body started cracking.

Su Yu was already incredibly powerful. But the combination of the mad Fat Ball and the shoe was rendering him helpless.

Rumble!

With yet another rumble, Su Yu was stomped right into the ground. Cracks spread through the ground as death qi bubbled out of the cracks. Instead of stopping, Fat Ball shot through the hole on the ground before bringing the shoe down again.

Boom!

And with another rumble, a massive crater appeared. The battle continued even as Fat Ball’s aura continued rising. Finally, Su Yu soared into the sky before sending a blade forward. With a rumble, the shoe was blasted away.

With a flicker, Su Yu appeared above Fat Ball before stomping down. Fat Ball spun around and bit down on the foot, forcing Su Yu to withdraw his foot.

However, Fat Ball was faster. Su Yu was unable to pull back his leg in time before it was bitten. He responded with a punch, cracking Fat Ball’s head. However, Fat Ball refused to let go.

”Awooo!”

As he bit down on Su Yu’s leg, he growled madly with his red eyes. Su Yu sent a few more punches down, but Fat Ball refused to let go. Even when Fat Ball’s head was almost smashed into pulp, he refused to let go.

Su Yu had to stop punching as he was worried that he would kill Fat Ball. Inwardly, he was feeling very helpless. This madness had grown somewhat excessively.

After a short pause, Su Yu’s saint character flew out. He started placating Fat Ball. ”This whole thing is a lie. Your masters are all alive. They are fine. I only said all that to provoke your emotions. Wake up, Fat Ball.”

Fat Ball ignored those words and continued biting down on Su Yu’s nearly severed leg.

Su Yu continued, ”I’m speaking the truth. I only said all that to provoke you! And it worked! You advanced!”

”Grrr!”

In response, Fat Ball growled.

The surrounding observers started approaching the two. Great Zhou King and the others were frowning. The bite was so deep. Su Yu’s leg was already mangled, and even his bone was now visible under his mangled flesh.

Great Zhou King sent a voice transmission, ”Suppress him, Your Majesty. He has gone completely mad.”

Su Yu waved that off and started rubbing the gigantic head before him with a smile. This transformation was quite a surprise to him. Furthermore, Fat Ball was still able to fight with Culture King’s shoe even after his transformation.

It was likely that in this state, Fat Ball was even stronger than the tiger from before. Was this black dog the real form of the divine sun devouring hound? After giving Fat Ball’s head another rub, Su Yu took the Token of Sanctification out. A gentle power emanated out and wrapped around Fat Ball.

Slowly, clarity returned to Fat Ball’s red eyes.
