Number One Dungeon Supplier

481 Enlightenment in Cultivation

Chen Xun was muffling his giggling with his hand after he saw De Tian being rejected like a guy earnestly confessing his love. The Ruby Rat Triad Boss found himself ashamed that his challenge was so easily denied, but then he noticed something.

Why the hell was he even doing something as stupid as to ask for a duel? Was it because it's an honourable thing to do right in front of his Ruby Rat lackeys? Or was he scared of the laws? God damn it! Wasn't he a Triad Boss? Why did he suddenly become so timid because of the change of circumstances?

Shouldn't this case be the most ideal? Instead of fighting against District Guardian Yuan who was around two to three grades above him, De Tian was given a heaven sent gift. A little young panda who was acting all haughty just because he had the cash to buy over the land.

"Not only is he the new owner of Tiangong Shopping District, but he also has the financial backing... probably by his parents? Ah, who cares. I should just kill him and later demand money from whoever is backing him. Yes…That's right. He does not want to fight with me because that brat knows he can't win!" De Tian began to snigger and subsequently started laughing out loud, which made Jin feel that Triad Boss had to be sick in the head. Even the Ruby Rat lackeys were wondering if their boss had gone insane.

"Kill him, extort an exorbitant amount of ransom from his parents to retrieve back his dantian! Or relatives or whoever is backing him! No, wait! I should get the ransom and the deed to this land as well! Heck why stop there, might as well demand a pardon in case the authorities really make things hard! Killing three birds with one stone. Oh, Jin you are my golden goose... before I cut you open!" De Tian was laughing so hysterically that his chi burst out and suddenly his cultivation was revealed right in front of everyone.

Ten silhouettes of reddish furred rats running above him in a circle and suddenly another rat jumped out of the ring. His aura got even more stifling, and every remaining Ruby Rat lackey had to display their cultivation in order to survive this suffocating aura that was being emitted.

"He had a sudden enlightenment and thus an increase in grade?!" Mu Bing could not believe his eyes that De Tian managed to attain a Grade 11 in such circumstances, displaying his might to everyone.

In the meantime, the three policemen saw all this happening from a distant apartment which they managed to use with the occupant's permission. Gupta was the spotter while Ren Wei was preparing his sniper rifle. Abdul had asked the family to move to their neighbour's house temporarily.

While a little untrusting, the father had decided to stay behind and promised not to interfere in anything. He just wanted to make sure that they were indeed police. (and also hoped to see them in action.)

As the policemen did not have any warrant to enter their house, they could only be grateful that they had gotten access to his home. It was not ideal to work where there are civilians around, but regrettably, this was as good as they could achieve without any roof access and this particular apartment had the best vantage point according to both Gupta and Ren Wei.

"You may stay, but I will have to confiscate your phone for a while to avoid you from filming us, sir," Abdul demanded politely and the owner of the household grudgingly passed it to them. "Thank you, Sir."

"How is the situation?" Abdul asked, and Gupta shook his head.

"Not good at all. We haven't exactly expected so many Triad Bosses to be here. Worse still, De Tian had surprisingly broken through to Grade 11. Even with Ren Wei's at Grade 6 Peak, the additional offensive inscription we can pack in a bullet will at most only hurt him." Gupta lent Abdul his spotter binocular.

"That is why we will only snipe when the opportunity comes or when Jin needs help. At most, we may have two shots against them. The first will be a surprise, and the second bullet is the one that matters. But let's hope we don't have to use any." Ren Wei concluded as he was startled when watching the events. Jin appeared to be in some negotiations before De Tian revealed his cultivation.

"Whew, that is a lot of rats. And they aren't alone. The Triads are serious in attacking Jin and man, I really applaud the dungeon supplier to have guts. I did not expect him to face all of them by himself." Abdul praised as he saw the situation was getting tense.

"Heh, that is why his dungeons are always that realistic. Jin must have gotten through a lot in life to be standing alone so fearlessly despite at such a young age. From the looks of it, I believe he is still hiding a few trump cards against those Bosses." Ren Wei replied as he was taking out a worn hard covered suitcase with scratches from his storage ring.

"Let's hope it's not ignorance.:" Abdul returned the spotting scope to his friend.

"Want to make a bet that Jin does not need our help at all?" Gupta suggested, and only Abdul was interested. Ren Wei decided against it as he knew this was not a laughing matter.

"Abdul, report the situation to Captain Mao and the detectives through the radio. Study this building's structure as well in case we need to make a quick getaway with minimum disruption to the public." Ren Wei ordered as he borrowed the coffee table and a few pieces of the sofa furniture so that he could position his sniper rifle (which he ironically bought and customised at Jin's store)

The only difference was that he had acquired the live bullets from Tiangong police station with a bit of help from his buddies instead of Jin's store. The owner of the house was a bit shocked, and Gupta assured him that he would be compensated for any damage to his furniture.

"Ehh grats on the jump in cultivation?" Jin bitterly realised that all the effort he made to avoid conflict appeared to be for nought if De Tian chooses to enter into a confrontation without any regard for the law.

"Not all futile, User. If the Ruby Rat Triad Boss decides to attack you on your grounds, you not only have the right to kill him legally, there will be no additional repercussions to you. The Royal Zodiac Rat Clan won't be able to use that to execute you since he had personally initiated the fight against you, especially after you have informed him of the situation." The System reiterated.

"I give you credit that you are not even a bit afraid of me. I am not sure whether you are foolishly brave or merely ignorant about the fact that you have no way to get out of this alive!" De Tian said as he pulled out his personal weapon, a war club similar to Xiong Da, but it seemed to be glowing with various inscriptions infused into it.

"Is there any way to detect what inscriptions he's using?" Jin asked the System as he lifted his Panda Head Staff and aimed it directly at his opponent. De Tian nearly laughed at how ridiculously cute Jin's weapon was but recalled that half of his Ruby Rats were decimated by it.

"Negative. As De Tian is not within the store, a thorough analysis is not possible." The System stated, and Jin wanted to curse how useless it was outside of the store.

"However, a superficial level of analysis is possible. There are at least three inscriptions according to your Pandaromic Eyes. System had already eliminated and narrowed the possible inscriptions Ruby Rat Triad Boss is using."

"That is more like it." Jin briefly looked at the list via his Pandaromic Eyes and prepared to insert Maqi into the staff as he saw De Tian kept releasing his chi aura, trying to intimate Jin while dragging his warclub at him.

"All our plans won't matter if I can't get out of this alive...Honestly, what are the odds of winning this guy? " Jin asked as he prepared to get Zeru out for help. Luckily, the ability to teleport his bellators wasn't hindered outside the store.

"With your current grade? Roughly 30% survival rate. However, following your true awakening, User has access to the Astral Panda forms." The System finally had the perfect opportunity to reveal Jin's hidden Trump card .

"By combining your Astral Panda forms with them, you can temporarily borrow powers from Zeru, Milk and Peppers. Proper and opportune usage of the Astral Panda Bellator forms should increase your chance of survival up to 75%." System clarified and Jin nearly opened his jaw wide open right in front of De Tian. Instead, he quickly pretended to yawn a little. He did not expect such a feature being available with the bellators.

"Why you brat...underestimating me through and through!" De Tian was pissed looking at Jin yawn and decided not to hesitate anymore and rushed towards him. He dispelled his aura to be able to use it in his attacks, which gave most of his still living Ruby Rats a breather. (With his increased Grade, some more fell victim to pressure and died from the suffocation of the intense chi.)

As the war club smashed to the ground, Jin managed to dodge backwards in time, but he did not expect an aftershock from the attack. Thus, causing him to be knocked back by the impact force. Fortunately, he used his Panda Head Staff to summon a wind barrier as well as infusing his body with an Astral Panda with the powers of Green Panda Wind to balance himself.

However, that was not the end, Jin also riled the surrounding dust and debris on the floor from the impact and created a temporary smokescreen to confuse his opponent so he could talk to the System for a while longer. "So, you mean I can sorta become Zeru, Peppers or even Milk?!" Jin asked, and the System clarified that Jin had the potential to inherit their abilities for 8 seconds.

"For that 8 seconds, User can possess the powers of your bellators without any potential strenuous setback to your body. You will have access to the full extent of their abilities that have been unlocked according to your grade. Do note that the training that you had with Zeru was an exception. Because he needed to teach you, System had boosted his powers to several grades higher than User's current grade." The System stated as Jin found himself defending another blow from De Tian though the smokescreen did buy him a few precious seconds.

"Not so tough, eh?" De Tian spat at the dungeon supplier, but Jin did not give De Tian another glance.

"I do not need to be tough. I just need to be fast." Jin said out loud as he commanded the System to provide him with the powers of Zeru through his thoughts. Suddenly, Jin could feel another soul coming into his body, and he felt an immense amount of strength coursing through him.

The System's artificial infusion of Astral Panda form and Bellator Zeru immediately streamed through Jin, and the dungeon supplier smirked as he transformed his Panda Head Staff into a two handed Odachi.

He placed the two handed sword behind his back while he spewed out a Panda Yawning to distract De Tian for a moment. Within those three seconds, he felt a burst of strength through his stomach as he could feel every fibre of his muscle turning the Odachi and making one quick stroke with that massive thin blade.

"Snip, and the petal of the lotus falls," Jin whispered as his blade had cleanly gone through the innards of De Tian while the Triad Boss was attempting to swing his war club upwards in order to perform one of his War Club Epic Arts.

In De Tian's perspective, he already predicted such the beam technique from his mouth but did not realise it was that weak when he purposely received the damage to intimidate him. However, he did not know because of that split second distraction due to his pride, De Tian was bound to lose his life.

For that few seconds, Jin was enlightened on how Zeru's technique worked. The technique was so …stingy in its movement, making the strike as clean as a perfectly polished granite which allowed one to see their reflection through it.

"I hope that brief movement was able to provide some insight into the ways of my sword," Zeru said via the System channel and Jin nodded his head as he saw half of De Tian slowly descend to the ground while the other half was left standing, spurting blood from the rest of his blood veins.

"Yes, it did, Master. I shall learn to do it myself in the future." Jin promised as he went to De Tian's lower body and grab the solid dantian with the aid of his Pandaromic Eyes.
