Chapter 271: The Hero with Double Hammers

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Twin Dragon Mount, the Temple of Providence.

Right now, most of the third batch of new players had gathered around on the square outside the temple and discussed among themselves.

“Gosh. I was so scared when that bat-like monster charged at me. I couldn’t think straight, and my knees buckled. I didn’t know that ghosts could be so scary.”

“With Ninth Uncle and Master Gongsun here, why are you still afraid of ghosts?”

“Ninth Uncle and Master Gongsun are indeed incredible cultivators, and ghosts are nothing to them, but after all, there are only so much the two of them can do, and they can’t look after everyone... I do hope that we can summon another hero who knows sorcery...”

“I’m afraid that you’re going to be disappointed. I heard that the offering this time is...”

“Shhh! Quiet! The sacrificial ritual has started!”

One of the new players cut them off.

After that, everyone stood on tiptoes, and they all strained their necks to look into the Temple of Providence.

Hum!

Golden light poured out of the mouths of the two three-meter Dragons of Providence, aiming at the offering and the Soul of Civilization below.

Pa!

One of the streaks of light hit a pair of golden war hammers. They weighed as heavy as 200kg, and the mahogany altar almost caved in at the weight. It was none other than one of the four special offerings they obtained from the Battlefield of Providence, the Long Gold Hammers dropped by the Yuan West King, who was killed by Gongsun Sheng’s heavenly thunder.

It was also the No. 4 war trophy in the treasury built under the Temple of Providence, which was guarded by several Shadow Assassins.

“Unfortunately, the offerings are hammers. A cultivating hero is definitely out of the question. Speaking of which, does any hero in the Water Margin use hammers?”

“I don’t think so, apart from Tang Long the Gold Coin Spotted Leopard... But he’s already here in the settlement.”

“Doesn’t the Twin Dragon Island also have the Han Dynasty background? Let me think... Ma Yuan, General Fubo of Eastern Han, and Wang Shuang of the Three Kingdoms both use double hammers... I think Ma Yuan can be considered a Perfect hero!”

Hum!

While the new players watched expectantly, the golden light hit the Long Gold Hammers and became blindingly resplendent. For a moment, no one could see anything else.

After the golden light dissipated, the Temple of Providence had turned into a battlefield.

The pair of war hammers were in the hands of a half-naked, purple-bearded stalwart man who was nearly three meters tall. It was none other than the Yuan West King, who had “copper skin, iron bones, and ten feet of gold”!

Around him were 500 grim-faced Yuan soldiers, and their suits and armors were covered with patterns of strange animals.

Some were tigers with wide-opened mouths, some were golden lions with blood-red eyes, and some were ferocious blue bears!

They were Beast Blood Guards, the private guards of the Yuan West King.

They had been injected with beast blood through a special method and became a special force that had some abilities of the beasts.

Unlike the special forces of the other kings, these 500 Beast Blood Guards were all Extraordinary soldiers, and some of them were even of Extraordinary Rank-5. They were also all Elites.

The 500 Extraordinary elites and the tough West King who could withstand Guo Jing’s Dragon-Subduing Strike was the test the summoned Transcendent hero was going to face.

“Gosh, that’s outrageous. The hero has to fight all 500 of them? We didn’t even have that many Extraordinary among the monsters we saw last night!”

“That’s right. This is so difficult. Even if Ninth Uncle and Master Gongsun are put together, they can’t fight off so many of them!”

“The hero summoned by the hammers is probably a warrior. Can an Extraordinary warrior handle so many enemies? I don’t have much hope...”

The Twin Dragon Island stopped the sacrificial ritual a few days ago, so the new players were now watching the summoning ritual for the very first time. Their eyes widened in amazement.

Apart from the Twin Dragon Mount, no other Earth settlements were able to summon Transcendent heroes yet.

Because of that, what the new players saw had amazed them. So far, they had only heard about the summoning of Extraordinary heroes in the forum. The scene right now was incredible.

“This test is as difficult as the previous one!”

In the Temple of Providence, the management personnel of the Twin Dragon Mount remained unaffected.

After all, they had seen it once.

In terms of the scale, the last test was even more incredible than this one.

But it took a while for the Soul of Civilization to react last time, and they wondered if the same thing would happen again. Would the ritual fail because no one would respond?

“It wouldn’t come to that. We almost failed last time because we limited the background of the hero summoned. This time, we’ll accept heroes from the entire human civilization. Someone is bound to take the challenge!” Elder Meng said affirmatively.

Hum!

He was right.

Right after the “golden battlefield” showed up, a bright white light burst out of the Soul of Civilization, which had been hit by the other streak of golden light.

After that, it turned into the figure of a gaunt hero.

The man wore black armor that only covered his critical parts, but he had bronze skin, and the golden war hammers in his thin hands were larger than those held by the Yuan West King.

Because of his thin figure, the war hammers were half of his height.

“It’s a warrior from ancient times. Those hammers are unbelievable!”

“But why is he so tiny? Were any of the Han generals so thin and short?”

“It wasn’t just the Han Dynasty. Because of our tradition, we tend to beautify heroes throughout history. The fiercer a general was, the stronger he was described to be. They were all said to be nearly two-meter tall, and no famous general was the size of Napoleon!”

“Speaking of which, have we summoned a general of Jaipan in the Sengoku time?”

More observant players deduced from the scene that the settlement had used a Rare offering obtained from the Battlefield of Providence. They suspected that the hero was from the Jaipan background.

Theoretically, Rare offerings could summon heroes from all Human civilizations. As the top settlement from Earth, a lot of heroes would want to come here. Therefore, it wouldn’t be a surprise that the hero summoned this time wasn’t from Chidragon.

Moreover, the style of this hero simply didn’t fit the usual warriors of Chidragon from ancient times.

Instead, it looked rather like a character from anime works, which were characteristic to Jaipan.

“No, he’s not foreign. The armor he wears is from ancient Chidragon...”

Elder Meng shook his head.

Next to him, Elder Zhou stared at the hero that had almost taken his physical form. Looking from his tanned gaunt figure to his golden war hammers, Elder Zhou seemed to be searching for some affirmation.

The idea of choosing the Long Gold Hammers as the offering with unlimited background actually came from Elder Zhou!

[“In the very beginning, there was the primordial world. Yin and Yang gave birth to all creatures. The phoenix was the head of all birds, and the golden eagle was thus born...”]

The moment the gaunt figure took shape, the authoritative voice resonated in the Temple of Providence.

The magnificent chanting voice could be heard all the way from the Temple of Providence to the square outside.

“Wow! Was that the legendary hero’s theme poem?!”

“Such style!”

“The very beginning, the primordial world, Yin and Yang... Are we going to see some god-like character?”

“I remember the first few sentences of the Journey to the West. It was about how chaotic the world was in the beginning. There was no one at first, but Pangu then shattered the initial chaos, differentiating the clean from the turbid... Can this hero be the Monkey King? But he doesn’t use hammers...”

Hundreds of new players were greatly excited by the poem chanted by the authoritative voice, and they all began to guess who this gaunt hero could be.

“Well, this poem...”

“Brother Zhou, you’ve specifically chosen the Long Gold Hammers as an offering with a mere Extraordinary Rank-7 Soul of Civilization just for this hero. Right?”

Elder Meng looked surprised. He then asked Elder Zhou the question, apparently having guessed who the hero was.

“I just thought we could give it a go. We might have a chance.

“After all, so many heroes in our civilization can be Transcendent, and no one can promise that we’ll summon him. I guess we’re very lucky. We don’t have to worry about the summoning test anymore!”

Elder Zhou smiled and looked very confident when he turned to look at the golden battlefield.

“You’re right. The Twin Dragon Island is going to have a very formidable warrior this time!”

Elder Meng nodded.

There was no time for the others to ask him who the hero was.

“Roar, roar!”

Because when the poem was chanted, the muscles of the Yuan soldiers swelled, and they suddenly looked much bigger.

They bellowed, and the look in their eyes reminded one of the savage beasts. The 500 elite soldiers all charged at their enemy.
