Chapter 024: Divine Disciple, Nest Mark!
“Tides” was a first-level curse spell, the most basic application of magic related to water. Yet this man in black was a genuine second-level martial warrior—first-level curse spells posed no threat to him at all.
However, Chen Xiao’s situation was extremely special. His rank couldn’t be measured by the standards of the supernatural world. With the Star and Moon Staff in his hands, his true strength allowed him to rival a third-level curse caster.
The “Tides” he unleashed wasn’t formed from spiritual energy but from the power of the Supreme God, which was countless times stronger than spiritual energy!
As a mere second-level martial warrior, the man in black couldn’t break through Chen Xiao’s “Tides” despite the surprise attack.
“This kid is pretending to be weak while actually being dangerous!” The man in black was shocked, but he wasn’t a novice. His body paused mid-air as if finding a pivot point, then spun rapidly.
Black light strands surrounded his body, easily dispelling Chen Xiao’s “Tides.”
Soon after, the man in black landed, pushed off with his feet, and charged at Chen Xiao again.
“So fast!”
Although Chen Xiao was strong, he was still far weaker than a second-level martial warrior. By now, he had retreated to the wall with no way out.
Chen Xiao hadn’t yet adapted to being a supernatural being. In his usual fights, he relied on his own skills and speed to overwhelm opponents. But facing someone whose physical strength far exceeded his own and who could effortlessly break his spells, he didn’t know how to respond. After all, he had no experience fighting supernatural beings.
The Star and Moon Staff was swung in the air once more, summoning five blue water dragons that rushed toward the man in black.
“Hmph!”
Now, the man in black no longer underestimated Chen Xiao. A dark glow flashed in his right hand, and a black battle sword appeared in it. With a few quick and fierce slashes, he shattered Chen Xiao’s five water dragons.
“A water-type supernatural being! It seems you’re the one who made the young lady lose face in public!” A cold glint appeared in the man in black’s eyes, and a fierce killing intent radiated from them as his speed increased further.
“Damn it! Didn’t Shui Miao say my strength could rival that of a third-level supernatural being? Why is this second-level guy making me so flustered?”
Chen Xiao, possessing the mental strength of a third-level curse caster, could easily sense the opponent’s rank. He didn’t realize that his current strength was comparable to that of a third-level supernatural being. The fatal flaw was his lack of experience fighting them. With just a little skill from the man in black, Chen Xiao was completely at a loss.
Seeing the man in black closing in rapidly, Chen Xiao had no choice but to instantly connect with the Supreme God’s space and enter it.
He had no doubt that if he didn’t enter, the man in black would really slash him to death.
“Congratulations, kid,” Shui Miao said with a faint smile as she appeared before Chen Xiao.
“Congratulate me on what? That I almost got killed by a sword?” Chen Xiao’s heart fluctuated upon seeing Shui Miao’s expression, but he quickly remembered that she wasn’t a real living being, and inwardly sighed at the loss.
“Congratulate me on opening up your consciousness sea and obtaining the rank of a supernatural being. Also, your time in the Main God’s Space has increased from one hour per day to two hours,” Shui Miao explained.
“One hour turned into two hours—what’s the use?” Chen Xiao was still extremely frustrated. If he could stay here for hundreds of millions of years to fully absorb the Main God’s essence within his chest before leaving, one hour or two hours didn’t seem to make much difference.
“Your access rights to the Main God’s Space have been expanded. Now, you can travel to various worlds within it,” Shui Miao said.
“To those worlds?” Chen Xiao’s eyes lit up. He glanced around—countless stars scattered across this endless cosmic space. The place where Chen Xiao and Shui Miao were seemed to be a planet as well, but it was completely barren with nothing around. It seemed Chen Xiao had never thought of exploring this space before; he always left in a hurry each time. Of course, now he didn’t even dare to consider it—only two hours here? Time is gold!
“How long can I stay in those worlds?” Chen Xiao asked.
“Two hours.”
“…”
Chen Xiao was utterly defeated.
“Are there any other benefits?” Chen Xiao asked cautiously.
“In those worlds, there are the priests, messengers, attendants, and disciples of the former Main God, Kamerillas. Only by being able to communicate with these worlds can you summon them,” Shui Miao said.
Chen Xiao’s heart burned with excitement again. The former subordinates of the Main God Kamerillas—how amazing would they be? And now, if he could summon them, wouldn’t he be invincible?
“However, there are limits to summoning them,” Shui Miao continued. “Just as your current strength allows you to stay in the Main God’s Space for only two hours, they can only stay in your world for two hours as well. But the time they spend there is exactly equal to the time you can stay in the Main God’s Space.”
“What does that mean?” Chen Xiao swallowed hard.
“In other words, if you summon a disciple who stays in your world for three minutes, your daily time in the Main God’s Space will be reduced by three minutes accordingly,” Shui Miao explained. “Moreover, due to your limited strength, the disciple won’t be able to use their full power in your world either.”
Chen Xiao sniffled. He seemed to have anticipated such an outcome.
“Then, with their strength compressed, can they defeat that guy outside?”
“If you could truly master and utilize your power, you could easily defeat him. But right now, you don’t yet understand battles between supernatural beings, which is why this is the case,” Shui Miao explained.
“I see. That’s why I always feel flustered when facing that guy. Hurry up and tell me—how do I summon a divine disciple now?”
Chen Xiao didn’t need Shui Miao to explain; he understood that with his current strength, he couldn’t summon the strongest divine master, only the weakest divine disciple.
But since it was called a “divine disciple,” it wasn’t that weak after all.
“With your current strength, you can at most summon the strongest being in the ‘Water Cloud World’—the primary divine disciple of the Supreme God, Suo Hen.” Shui Miao waved her small hand lightly, and a pale blue glow entered Chen Xiao’s mind.
Chen Xiao’s eyes widened suddenly, and he softly exclaimed, “In the name of the Supreme God, I summon you, my divine disciple, Suo Hen!”
Whoosh!
A stern-looking man in black appeared instantly in front of Chen Xiao and Shui Miao.
“Suo Hen, I pay my respects to the Supreme God!”
In the next moment, this man in black, Suo Hen, knelt down before Chen Xiao in worship. His usual indifferent tone trembled slightly, unable to conceal his excitement.
