Chapter 427 The Greedy Cat
On July 8th, in the Southern Sea Region of Magic Martial Arts Academy, Lu Hao spent five full days forging the divine weapon. The two weapons were completely fused together, and Lu Hao's mark was imprinted on them. Lu Hao looked at the new God-Slaying Blade Plus version in front of him. Its shape was similar to a large ring blade, but it was more powerful. A blood-red dragon swam around the hilt, and the blade exuded a murderous aura. One look was enough to tell that this was not to be trifled with.
Lu Hao gripped the God-Slaying Blade, feeling the artifact's amplification reach its maximum. With a 20% boost, Lu Hao's previous maximum burst was 636 million calories; under the artifact's enhancement, his current maximum burst was 763 million calories.
The increased burst power of Wanka by over a million calories makes Lu Hao no weakling among the Six Heavenly Kings.
Now Lu Hao is even more looking forward to the boost brought by the original ultimate technique. When he creates his own original ultimate technique, the boost will be even greater.
Moreover, this enhancement is always present, allowing Lu Hao to continue using it.
Seeing that Cangmao wasn't nearby, Lu Hao wasn't surprised. At first, Cangmao was quite patient, but after watching for a long time, it couldn't figure out anything. After all, the process of fusing divine weapons was very boring, so Cangmao naturally didn't have that patience and went out to find something to eat.
Lu Hao spread his mental energy and instantly found Cang Mao. Under normal circumstances, Cang Mao would not have been able to find him even if he had his mental energy barrier activated. However, Lu Hao saw someone who shouldn't be there. In the bustling market next to the Magic Martial Arts Academy, Zhang Tao was talking to thin air. The only person Lu Hao couldn't detect was Cang Mao. It was probably Cang Mao looking for food and Zhang Tao discovered it. However, Zhang Tao was indeed quite skilled, able to spot Cang Mao's whereabouts.
As soon as Lu Hao used his mental energy to probe the area, he heard Zhang Tao rambling on and on.
"Senior Cangmao, we have no objection to you coming to Earth, but you can't eat without paying, and you're causing trouble for the ordinary people around you."
"Senior Cangmao, even if you were brought here by Lu Hao, you can't just freeload!"
Zhang Tao kept talking. He had originally planned to wait for Lu Hao here, but Lu Hao didn't show up. His mental energy detected a ghostly incident in the bustling food street; the food he had prepared had suddenly vanished. Zhang Tao scanned the area with his mental energy but found nothing. Being clever, Zhang Tao quickly figured out what was going on. After all, Lü Zhen had said that Cang Mao loved good food, and it was normal for these ancient beings at the peak of cultivation to have stronger mental energy than him. So Zhang Tao waited here, and finally, he caught Cang Mao. At first, he was cautious, but then he heard Cang Mao's telepathic message saying that he was some kind of fake human emperor and a titled true god—
He knew that although this Cangmao loved to eat, it must also know a lot of things. So he wanted to get something out of the Cangmao. He also deduced that the Cangmao was not a fierce expert, which is why he dared to talk back to the Cangmao here.
"Fake Emperor, stop talking! You're so annoying! I'm going to eat something delicious!"
Hearing the impatient voice transmission from the Azure Cat, Zhang Tao knew he had guessed correctly. This Supreme Cat was indeed not aggressive as Lu Hao and the others had said. Even after being annoyed by it, it didn't attack. It seemed to be genuinely friendly. If he didn't get something out of this cat, he would be unworthy of his title of Martial King.
"Minister Zhang, you wouldn't stoop to such a deceitful and fraudulent act as Cangmao, would you?"
Lu Hao arrived at the scene and said helplessly.
Zhang Tao, who was about to launch into a verbal sparring match, stopped and turned around to see a familiar face—that kid Lu Hao!
Zhang Tao both loved and hated Lu Hao. The kid's combat strength was formidable, capable of supporting humanity. Zhang Tao had originally planned for Lu Hao to succeed him, but Lu Hao was always wandering around, never appearing in sight. Although going into the underground caves was a serious matter, Lu Hao would disappear for ten days to half a month at a time, completely ruining Zhang Tao's plans. Moreover, he hadn't sensed Lu Hao behind him at all. What this meant, Zhang Tao knew better than anyone. It meant that if Lu Hao remained silent and attacked Zhang Tao instead, it would be impossible to defend against. Previously, Zhang Tao thought Lu Hao's ability to conceal his aura was nothing, but now that he had broken through to the fifth level and still couldn't sense him, this was a big problem.
"Young Lu, your method of concealing your aura is really not going to spread at all." Even though he had asked several times already, Zhang Tao asked again.
"Minister Zhang, it's impossible. If it could get out, I would have already done so."
Upon hearing Zhang Tao's words, Lu Hao knew that he had misunderstood. When he first arrived, Lu Hao hadn't activated his concealment technique at all; he was surrounded by his own mental energy barrier. However, so be it if he was being misunderstood. He could still hide his strength for a while longer.
"Hey, you've finally come out of seclusion! That fake human emperor is so mean! He said he'd beat me up and starve me. If I don't say anything, he won't feed me. Hit him! Hit him!"
Cangmao quickly stood behind Lu Hao, baring his teeth and pointing at Zhang Tao.
Upon hearing Cangmao's words, Zhang Tao's eyes widened in surprise. These were all his own thoughts, which he hadn't uttered aloud. How did this stupid cat know them? Could it be—
"Minister Zhang, the Azure Cat is the darling of heaven and earth. It can sense all thoughts directed at it, whether good or evil, so—you should restrain yourself."
Lu Hao said with a smile, after all, if he hadn't said anything, Zhang Tao might have already guessed what was going on.
"Cangmao, Minister Zhang didn't do it on purpose. He just wanted to know more. He's a good person."
Upon hearing Lu Hao's words, Zhang Tao's pupils contracted, and he quickly controlled his thoughts. In the black swamp of Cang Mao's original world, Zhang Tao was seen feeding Cang Mao dish after dish of delicious food. In the real world, Cang Mao's gaze towards Zhang Tao calmed down, and drool was still dripping from the corner of its mouth.
"Come on, Senior Cangmao, Lu Hao, let's go eat something delicious first. I know where the best food is."
Seeing Cangmao's reaction, Zhang Tao knew what it meant to pander to its strengths, so he quickly said that he wanted to extract information from Cangmao—no, no, no, it was just about feeding the cat. Zhang Tao quickly cut off his thoughts as he thought about it.
"Let's go, Cangmao. Since Minister Zhang is taking us out to eat, it must be delicious. We can't let Minister Zhang's kindness go to waste."
Lu Hao said with a smile, "It's a good opportunity to tell Zhang Tao about the situation in the Three Realms. The grand scheme is about to unfold, so that Zhang Tao won't be completely unaware of what's going on. But it won't be long. With Lu Hao's current growth rate, he'll soon be able to overturn this grand scheme in the Three Realms."
