Cthulhu Fantasy : I Am The Great Old One

Just like how he had been living these past few days, Du Kang still went to the arena this afternoon to watch martial arts techniques. These human martial arts techniques were becoming more and more valuable. There were fewer and fewer strange things in the arena that needed to shout out the names of their moves while making useless movements. And the number of martial techniques that focused on defeating the opponent at the fastest speed without saying a word increased.    

To Du Kang, this was a good thing. These humans finally stopped fooling him with those fancy tricks and began to show their true abilities.    

The search for those lost works went smoothly. It had not even been a year since they entered the human world, but they had already found three pieces. Based on this rate of progress, perhaps he wouldn't even need half a century. In no time, he would be able to find everything.    

Days passed day after day. Du Kang was already somewhat used to this kind of daily life between the arena and the Lu family mansion. Even if the people living in this town were people from the underworld, but Du Kang did not have much interaction with them. Just sorting out more and more martial arts had already used up all of Du Kang's time.    

Du Kang had never seen any melodramatic grudges or shocking conspiracies in this town. The biggest thing that happened during this period of time was still the case of the flower picker a few months ago, but it didn't last long either. When those people from the pugilistic world who had their own stories came here, nothing happened. This made Du Kang, who had always wanted to watch some fun to adjust his life, feel very bored.    

In Du Kang's memory, the pugilistic world did not seem to be like this. Even if there were no young heroes who came out of their houses to seek revenge, there should at least be young female heroes and angry horses. But now...    

Du Kang held half a strand of white sand in his mouth as he silently watched the red-dressed female hero, who seemed to weigh at least three hundred kilograms, depart on her horse.    

Yes, there was indeed an angry horse in fresh clothes. That horse must be very angry.    

Letting out a puff of smoke, Du Kang snuffed out the cigarette butt and put it away.    

When these so-called children of the pugilistic world truly came into contact with it, it was just like that. No matter how spicy the pugilistic world was like strong liquor, when it was truly magnified, it was just a life that was like white water day after day.    

However, in Du Kang's opinion, this was not a bad thing.    

Life was originally such an ordinary thing.    

However, even if it was calm, there would still be some twists and turns...    

"You are that foreign Magic and Martial Sovereign?"    

Du Kang turned his head when he heard that soft voice. He looked at the woman in front of him, who had a longsword at her waist.    

"If you want to challenge me, go register at the side of the arena. If you want to report a case, go to the Anping Army's yamen. If you want to stay at a hotel, go to a friend inn. Say that you are here for a martial arts competition. 20% discount."    

Du Kang took out a white sand and lit it up, exhaling a puff of smoke.    

"Is there anything else?"    

"I..."    

The woman with the sword at her waist choked.    

"I heard that Magic and Martial Sovereign is very famous, and I especially wanted to come and get to know him..."    

Hmm?    

Du Kang held the cigarette in his mouth and looked at the girl who was smiling in front of him in surprise.    

How many years had it been since he had two lifetimes, and there was actually a time when he was being flirted with by a female? And she was a beautiful woman? No wonder I found three weapons so quickly. Was his luck starting to get better?    

But... it didn't seem right.    

After spitting out a puff of smoke, Du Kang shook his head.    

Du Kang knew very well what kind of image he had shown during this period of time. He was a fool, but he still had a lot of money. This image could eliminate the unfamiliarity and hostility of those humans towards him, a nobody, as soon as possible. But at the same time, it would also have some negative effects...    

Looking at the smiling woman in front of him, Du Kang exhaled a puff of smoke.    

You really think I'm a sugar baby?    

"You've seen her now." Du Kang raised his hand and cupped his fist, "See you later."    

Looking at the stunned girl and the heroic young man who was walking towards the girl, Du Kang sighed and turned around to leave.    

He knew that his luck couldn't be that good...    

————————    

"Sis, what's wrong?"    

The youth took a few steps closer to the woman. He looked at her with concern.    

That nightmarish day had already passed a long time ago. At first, when the young man saw his sister's temperament change drastically, he planned to escape. Although his sister was the one who suffered the most damage that day, the scene of her sister smashing Looh Kui into meat paste with one hammer was still too shocking. Every time he fell asleep, the young man would always dream that the person who was smashed into minced meat would become him.    

One had to know that in the past, he had been beaten and scolded by his older sister quite a few times.    

However, after holding that Demon Weapon, his sister's personality changed not only. She also changed her attitude towards him. Not only did she stop beating and scolding him, but she also became much more gentle - or rather, much more gentle. At the beginning, this sudden change left the youth at a loss - - he always thought that he and I would be beaten to death in one breath. But as the days went by, the youth gradually adapted to this change.    

After all, this change wasn't a bad thing.    

However, it wasn't necessarily a good thing.    

Looking at his sister who was still in a daze, the youth recalled how his sister had seen Magic and Martial Sovereign just now.    

The youth unconsciously clenched his fists.    

His sister's gentleness should only belong to him alone, how could Magic and Martial Sovereign...    

"Ah? You're here."    

The woman rolled up the hair by her ear, then reached out to break the young man's clenched fist.    

"It's fine, don't be angry. Sister just happened to bump into that Magic and Martial Sovereign and went to test his martial arts skills..."    

So it's like this...    

The young man let out a breath and let go of his tightly clenched fists.    

"How's Magic and Martial Sovereign's martial arts?"    

He still remembered what he had come here to do.    

"I can't tell..." The woman pondered for a moment, "When we were talking just now, I had a total of seven chances to use my sword, but that Magic and Martial Sovereign didn't react at all. It's like... I've never practiced martial arts before? "    

"He did not practice martial arts?" The young man frowned." It can't be. This arena has been set up for such a long time. Those heroes of the Jianghu who lost to him can't be faking it, right? "    

"I don't know about that... But that Magic and Martial Sovereign doesn't seem like someone who can invite people to fake a fight and become famous." The woman thought for a while, "He's too stupid..."    

"Sister, don't think about that for now." Seeing that his sister was deep in thought again, the youth hurriedly changed the topic, "Oh right, why don't you think about how to spend that sum of gold and silver?"    

"How to spend it..." The woman recovered from her thoughts and pointed at the young man's forehead, "The money you won must be spent by yourself."    

"Alright, I want to buy a big house for my sister in Chang'an..."    

The young man held the woman's hand and walked further and further away.

Martial Capital Xu Chang.    

On the broken city wall, the two zhang wide gap was still not mended. As the blade marks left behind by Emperor Guan's astonishing blade, those who were ambitious in martial arts all came here to pay their respects to the imprints left behind by their seniors. It made this place even more like a scenic place.    

There were many martial cultivator who came here, and there were also many who were dressed in strange clothes. But today, a strange figure appeared here.    

Putting aside the fact that his appearance was obviously different from that of the people of the Central Plains, there was also the greatsword on his back and the strange black robe. The tiger crouching beside the human body was completely different from the tiger that people knew.    

The Central Plains was so large, but no one had ever heard of a tiger with sharp ears.    

And now, this strange foreign person was standing in front of that saber scar.    

Looking at the saber scar in front of him, this foreign person's calm face revealed a stiff smile.    

What kind of words came out of this foreign man's mouth, but no one understood what he meant.    

If there was someone who understood this language, then he would understand. What this large man with the strange tiger said was...    

"Interesting..."
