Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

Chapter 100: Demon Subduing Slash

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Luo Hai’s words stirred up a lot of thoughts in Meng Chao’s mind.

When he had just been reborn, he was rather arrogant.

He felt that since he came back from the apocalypse, as long as he could remember some future martial arts and crucial things, he could give pointers to the entire city and control the movements of the world.

But as his knowledge increased, he noticed that the higher ups might not be as simplistic as he thought they were.

There were many times when seemingly foolish plans were pushed forward, but it was not because the decision makers were idiots.

Instead, they were limited by all sorts of factors, and there were conflicts that ran beneath the surface that caused this.

If he wanted to change the future, it would not be as simple as him being able to call the people to action just by posting a few threads online.

‘I’ll start with the Ultimate Style to come into contact with the higher-ups, and I’ll become a major figure whose name can affect the people. It’s only then that I’ll be truly able to change this world!’

As Meng Chao thought about this, he was brought into a cultivation room by Luo Hai.

At the center of the cultivation center was a bold, powerful fighter who sat cross-legged. His presence shocked Meng Chao.

The man had a shiny, bald head with the tattoo of a ferocious tiger. His gaze was as intense and bright as a lightbulb, and he had two heavy sabers that were his trademark. He was the six-star Heaven Realm superhuman, Master Luo Wu!

He was a martial artist who had been in the limelight the past few years. Even if he just sat in the room casually, he still gave off great pressure.

It felt like if he just tilted his body forward by forty-five degrees, he would be like a stone on a cliff that could fall at any moment. It would strike whoever was below it so heavily that they would not be able to breathe.

Meng Chao had seen Luo Wu’s fights online.

Once, in just a minute, he split twelve superbeasts called Demonic Dark-shelled Tortoises, who had great defenses, in half.

Their dark shells were even sturdier than the alloy armor on Dragon’s City’s main fighting tanks, but before Soul Breaking Sabers, they were as fragile as match boxes.

Meng Chao felt his blood surge when he was in the same room as such a powerful fighter, and his fighting spirit burned in him.

Luo Wu got up slowly, and the pressure he gave off increased ten times.

Meng Chao sucked in a deep breath and stood straight like a javelin.

He took half a step forward while faced with the piercing presence.

Praise shone in Luo Wu’s eyes. His intimidating presence faded away, and he extended a hairy hand. “Meng Chao, hello. Thank you for saving A’hai!”

Meng Chao released a sigh of relief. “Master Luo, you praise me too much. I fought together with Luo Hai, and we saved each other. You provided me with a lot of valuable medicine while I was undergoing treatment as well. I should be the one thanking you!”

“The addition of every talented person like you will allow Dragon City’s fighting strength to increase even further. That bit of medicine is nothing.”

Luo Wu waved his hand and went straight to the point. “I invited you here today for two reasons. One, as a father, I want to thank you for helping Luo Hai. Two, I’m representing the Superhuman Association to award you for your contribution.

“The examinees who were sent to the wild from Test Area 5523 were mostly superhuman-to-bes. You encouraged everyone to counterattack, and you helped Dragon City protect nearly one hundred future talents, but you ended up damaging your own main meridians for that. How can a contribution like this be dismissed with just a few light medals?”

Meng Chao felt a little embarrassed, but he also looked forward to what was to come.

“Broken-star superhumans cultivate slowly, and their upper limits are not high. It’s a bit troublesome, but there is also something good about them. As long as you focus on training the main meridians that you have, you’ll become more skillful and stronger when it comes to certain skills as compared to people like A’hai, who cultivate dozens of main meridians in one go.”

Luo Wu stared at him with an intense gaze. “I’ve researched the Bloody Moon Wolf King you killed. You’re very proficient!”

Meng Chao’s expression remained calm.

Luo Wu was a saber master. It was not strange that he was able to tell just what was amazing about the future Ultimate Level One Hundred Saber Techniques.

“Your saber technique is fierce and ruthless and you give off the air that you want to cut down everything. So, it’s only natural that you have some erudite person teaching you.”

Luo Wu frowned and said, “But I don’t know what that person is thinking. He did not consider your ability to withstand the skill. Every move you made forced you past the limits of your cells.

“If you attack like this, before you can crush the monster’s skull, your blood vessels and nerves will burst. It’d have been stranger if you hadn’t turned into a broken-star superhuman!”

Meng Chao’s face turned red. He felt a little regretful.

The future One Hundred Saber Techniques was created for future Dragon Citizens, whose body constitutions had already been improved.

When he executed it with his current self, it was indeed a little too much for him.

“Your saber technique is pretty good, but it’s too violent. It’s not what you can handle at your current level. That’s why I modified it a little for you.”

Luo Wu snapped his fingers, and a faint green electrical arc shot out of his fingertips.

The electrical arc turned into dozens of saber glares, and with loud whooshes, they turned into dozens of dazzling skills that were deeply embedded in Meng Chao’s brain.

“This is...”

Meng Chao held his breath. He noticed that Luo Wu had changed the future One Hundred Saber Techniques.

Many of the extreme parts were reversed to their old versions.

Even though the power might have been decreased by two or three percent, it became more stabilized, and Meng Chao could execute the skills more smoothly.

He closed his eyes, and with his hand as his saber, he made a few moves. Just as he expected, it was more suited for his current self.

Whoosh!

With just one slash, ripples charged forward like waves. They traveled almost five feet, but his body was not affected in the slightest. Every muscle fiber was controlled with great precision.

“Thank you for your guidance, Master Luo Wu!”

Meng Chao was surprised and delighted.

The intelligence of a six-star Heaven Realm martial artist was truly unfathomable.

Luo Wu quirked an eyebrow.

He was a little surprised. He did not expect that Meng Chao’s comprehension would be so terrifying.

A spark of interest shone in the saber master’s eyes. “The attack you used to break the Bloody Moon Wolf King’s eye socket has the essence of Principal Sun’s Demon Subduing Pole. I truly admire the Heavy Cannon Sun Daxing, who was once very famous in the Red Dragon Army. You must have inherited his legacy before his death, right?

“You have a flexible mind to be able to think about combining the One Hundred Saber Techniques and Demon Subduing Pole together. But it’s a waste if you just combine two skills together without fusing them together.

“Next, I will put on a demonstration. Observe carefully.”

Luo Wu pushed his fingers together to form the shape of a saber and brought his arm up.

Then, he used the same action Meng Chao did when he killed the Bloody Moon Demon King.

On his steel-like, bronze-colored arm, three spirit tattoos that looked like veins and coiled around it like a screw instantly appeared.

The spirit tattoos intersected with each other nonstop to strengthen the blood vessels, nerves, and muscles. They created the shape that was the best to execute One Hundred Saber Techniques and created the spirit energy magnetic field for Demon Subduing Pole.

The magnetic field surged, and the air trembled. It sounded like someone was reciting a mantra to subdue demons.

Whoosh!

Luo Wu swung his arm, and his spirit flames turned into a saber glare that charged out with a thunderous whistle. It struck the wall violently.

The wall of the cultivation room was made of an energy absorbing material created from macromolecule polymers. It was as fluffy as bubbles, but also tougher than gel.

Even so, a terrifying gash was left behind on it. The wall could not close even after a long time had passed.

Beep, beep, beep, beep!

An alarm rang above their heads.

The normal cultivation room could not withstand Luo Wu’s astonishing damage, and the wall was destroyed!

Meng Chao’s pupils shrank.

This move was much more beautiful and stronger than the attack he executed that day in haste!

“It’s your turn,” Luo Wu said.

“You’re teaching me such an exquisite saber skill?” Meng Chao registered what was going on.

“This is a tradition in the Supernatural Tower. When a low-grade superhuman contributes, they have the right to obtain the teachings of a high-grade superhuman. We can’t let those who contributed suffer losses. Hence, we’re able to pass down our martyrs’ spirit. Since you’re friends with A’hai as well, it’s naturally for the best that I give you the reward you deserve,” Luo Wu said as a matter of fact.

“Thank you, Master Luo.”

Meng Chao focused and recalled the spirit energy magnetic field Luo Wu had created. He tried to guide his spirit energy into his main meridians and create the exact same spirit energy magnetic field.

At first, he failed multiple times.

Controlling main meridians was about the same as controlling one’s heartbeat. Usually, a person was not able to do it.

They had to get rid of all other thoughts and enter a trance so that they could sense the slow circulation of spirit energy in their body and search for clues that would allow them to control it.

At that moment, Luo Wu pushed down on Meng Chao’s shoulder, and a powerful spirit magnetic field rotation energy surged into him.

Meng Chao then felt like a cataract patient who was just cured. Suddenly, he saw complicated rays of light.

Spirit tattoos similar to Luo Wu’s appeared on his arm. They gathered on his fingertips, and a small spirit flame gushed out.

“So that’s how it is!”

A slight burn rose in his spirit meridians, and they turned into a sparkling spirit energy magnetic field in the depths of his mind. Meng Chao understood the basic principles behind the move.

This was the importance behind having a teacher.

The development of information technology was great. Regardless of whether it was the basic principles of martial arts, force execution formulae, training methods, or the ways to create a spirit energy magnetic field, they could all be found online.

But cultivation could not be completed by relying on the net alone.

The teachers spent all their time and energy to transfer spirit energy into their students so that their students could sense the process of how a spirit energy magnetic field was created in the body. They could draw inferences from it and improve drastically.

Whoosh!

Meng Chao made a casual swing as well.

Even though he did not create the destructive momentum Luo Wu had, which made it seem like he could suppress everything, his slash was much more accurate and fiercer than when he killed the Bloody Moon Wolf King.

What was more important was that after he executed the slash, his breathing and mind remained stable. There were no signs of his strength having run dry.

He felt that he could execute another slash— No, he could execute ten more slashes!

When Luo Wu and Luo Hai saw Meng Chao’s saber glare cut through the air and reach the wall, where it left a deep gash, they exchanged a glance, and they could see the astonishment in each other’s eyes.

They had thought that Meng Chao would need at least half a day to learn this skill.

They did not expect that his comprehension was so terrifying.

Meng Chao could sense their shock, and he suppressed his urge to deliver ten more slashes. He saw that the strange flame had already turned into the words “foreign supernatural skill” at the corner of his eyes. He thought about it and asked, “This is awesome... What is this skill?”

“My father created this skill for you based on your characteristics,” Luo Hai said with slight envy. “Since this is a fusion between the One Hundred Saber Techniques and Demon Subduing Pole, why don’t we name it Demon Subduing Slash? But you should be the one deciding on it.”

“Demon Subduing Slash? That’s a great name!”

The unknown supernatural skill at the corner of Meng Chao’s eyes immediately turned into Demon Subduing Slash.

Of course, his Skillfulness for it was low. He was only at normal level, and if he wanted to use contribution points to make it level up, he had to pay a lot for it.

The more contribution points were it required, the more powerful the skill was.

The Supernatural Tower’s reward was very interesting...

No matter how stupid Meng Chao was, he could sense that Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu was a little too friendly. He thought about it for a moment and went straight to the point.

“Master Luo, I’m not worthy of the Demon Subduing Slash you created with so much care. What can I do to thank both you and Luo Hai?”
