Chapter 785.2 [A Good Kid Will Get Good Karma]

Yue Yang decided to go ahead and train himself by climbing the Heaven Staircase. Once he made his decision, Xia Wu Xue closed the Book of Truth, and Princess Qian Qian also stood up quickly, returning the Prison Emperor’s Divine Sword to her back, both of them accompanied Yue Yang, one on either side of him, and started to make their way forward.

Behind them followed Wen Li who had been silently following after Yue Yang so far.

Although perfecting her human form.

But she still didn’t like to talk.

With the strength of these four people, not to mention the platform that was without the restriction from the Power of Law, even if it were on the stone steps, their speed was like lightning.

Four shadows swept across the curving path beside the lake and disappeared in a flash. When the shadows next reappeared, Yue Bing and the other girls saw that Yue Yang and the three girls had already reached the end of the pathway which joined back to the stone steps that was located a few kilometres away; and when they caught sight of them once again after a minute, they could only look up, barely able to see the shadows of Yue Yang and the three girls as they flashed past on a stone step tens of kilometers away to the extremely right from their current position. That spot was very likely already at the thousand step mark of the Heaven Staircase… “We have to work hard too!” Yue Bing retracted her gaze and decided, she would definitely chase after her brother.

Yi Nan whose mental intuition was incredibly sensitive, suddenly seemed to notice something floating up from the depths of the lake.

Ah Man rushed forward to place herself in front of Yue Yu and Yue Bing, acting as a shield for them.

On the clear surface of the lake, a transparent water monster floated up from the bottom of the lake.

As if the surface of the lake had suddenly bulged up, the huge water monster gradually emerged from the lake, looking like a ball of water, but instead of a ball, it was flowing irregularly, constantly changing shape, and if one looked closely, one could vaguely make out a vague ‘human form’.

Sickly Beauty didn’t stop drawing, but just muttered faintly, ”A water man, I’ve heard before that there is a kind of water man in the Heaven Staircase. This kind of water man is not a war beast, it’s just an energy consciousness projection of the Heaven Staircase warriors that live in the rivers and lakes, they are responsible for guarding the water source of the Heaven Staircase and generally do not attack other lifeforms, if they move to attack, we can also gain their recognition by defeating them………oh, by the way, they can never be killed.”

Before Sickly Beauty had even finished her introduction of this beast, Ah Man had already beaten up the water monster.

With her strength, even an Innate Ranked war beast could be killed by her within seconds easily.

Not to mention this water man that only had quasi-Innate strength.

But as how Sickly Beauty had introduced earlier, the defeated water man slowly recovered on the lake once again, and without fear, slid towards Yue Bing’s side.

In addition to the first waterman that had emerged from the lake, there were dozens of other watermen that emerged from the lake in succession, and they all advanced towards Yue Bing’s side.

“They can never be killed, so how do we defeat them?” Yue Bing asked curiously while entering an attack stance.

“We need to overwhelm them with absolute power, or with skill, there are many ways to achieve this.” Sickly Beauty smiled faintly.

With the brush in her hand, she lightly dotted on the empty space in front of her.

Drawing a Heaven Rune formation in the air, and imprinted it on the liquid body of the first Waterman to rush closer.

The water man immediately stopped and his body instantly disintegrated into a fog and disappeared without a trace.

By the time it reappeared, it had long since returned to the lake.

But it no longer attacked, sliding silently to the bottom of the lake, fading away, seeming to have acknowledged the Sickly Beauty’s prowess.

A waterman that Ah Man couldn’t beat with one move, yet had been easily forced to acknowledge Sickly Beauty. This was the result from the combination of wisdom and skill, and of course, the power of the Heaven Realm Runes!

Yue Yu realized that all of them would have to be acknowledged by the Watermen and so she immediately summoned grimoire, summoning her platinum level beast ‘Surging Tide’, and with its [Water Stop] skill, froze all the Watermen that were emerging from the lake. Three seconds later, Yue Yu had already been acknowledged by the Watermen and they sank back down in droves. However, the Watermen on the shore continued to attack Yue Bing, Yi Nan, and Ah Man.

“[Reverse Mirror].” Yi Nan lightly pointed with her finger, and all the Watermen surrounding her were instantly destroyed by their own attacks that had been reflected back on themselves..

“[Trample].” The method that Ah Man used was totally different from Yue Yu’s elegant use of Surging Tides [Water Stop] ability, she prefered brute force. With one foot, she stomped on the ground and all the Watermen, regardless of those that were currently sinking back into the lake, or those currently surrounding them, all of them were affected by the aftershocks and dispersed into mist.

“But I haven’t fought them!” Yue Bing was anxious, she didn’t want to miss out on the recognition from the Watermen.

Hastily, she ran along the shore of the lake, hoping to find some Waterman who had not yet been defeated.

She searched for a long time before finally finding a Waterman that was just emerging from the bottom of the lake. She was so happy that she rushed over, not forgetting to be polite, and saluted beforehand as if she was practicing with someone, not knowing that the Watermen had no sentience at all and were just a projection of the energy intent of the warriors of the Heaven Staircase.

Yue Bing gave the Waterman a salute that was used by Innates before fighting and said happily, “I must be acknowledged, please give me some guidance!”

As the Waterman attacked with rain, she gently swung around, her palms like butterflies piercing flowers, using one of the close combat techniques Yue Yang had created for her, ‘Butterfly Palm’, mysteriously gathering all the attacks in her palm and coalescing them into a ball. With a wave of her hand, she tossed the Watermen up into the air, forming a long water dragon that waved back and forth in the air, and finally pointing her finger up into the skies, she used her consciousness to guide the water dragon to fly straight up into the skies, eventually bursting into raindrops and raining back to the ground.

When the Watermen coalesced once again, it had already acknowledged Yue Bing.

And sank slowly back into the lake.

However, Yue Bing once again performed an Innates salute saying: “Thank you, if this is the first stage of the Heaven Staircase, then, on the way to catch up with my brother, I will defeat all the Watermen and gain the approval of all the seniors, living up to the expectations of my brother.”

Yue Yu, Yi Nan and the others looked on, not knowing whether to laugh or to get angry, this girl was just too serious.

Actually at the lowest levels, it didn’t matter if they were not acknowledged by the Watermen.

This kind of quasi-Innate Watermen were simply too weak, and it was estimated that those that were really formidable opponents were the energy consciousness projection of those Heaven Staircase warriors above a thousand steps!

Besides this kind of Waterman had no intelligence, it wasn’t an intelligent being at all, it was just a projection of energy consciousness left behind by warriors of the Heaven Staircase. That is to say, they were just some shadows, responsible for protecting the water sources here. If it wasn’t for Yi Nan going down to the lake to wash her hands and soak her feet just now, it was estimated that those Watermen would not have surfaced from the bottom of the lake at all. Just as Yue Yu was about to call back Yue Bing, she suddenly saw another Watermen, floating up from the bottom of the lake.

Strange, why continue to fight when everyone has been acknowledged?

Could it be that Bing’er’s powerful move just now was not even acknowledged?

Yue Yu and Yi Nan were puzzled, and Ah Man prepared to rush over to guard Yue Bing, Sickly Beauty also stopped painting with her brush somewhat curiously… To their surprise, the Watermen did not move to attack, but only extended its constantly flowing ‘hand’, in front of the stunned Yue Bing and gently put down a large pearl.

“What’s going on?” Yue Bing can’t help but reach out and take that large pearl, but she still could not understand what was happening and turned back to look at Sickly Beauty.

“It may be that in thousands of years, never has there been a challenger as polite as Bing’er, so you were rewarded by that Waterman’s predecessor who left this behind. Hee, I’m simply guessing, and it’s also possible that you were the most serious about this, and so was given the most recognition and received a gift. Either way, it’s good to be rewarded, come on, let me see, what pearl is this, from the looks of it it’s something good!” Sickly Beauty smiled and waved to Yue Bing.

“Ah, yes.” Yue Bing hurriedly saluted the Waterman who was sinking back into the lake once more, “Thank you!”

After Yue Bing ran back, she handed on that beautiful large pearl to Sickly Beauty.

Sickly Beauty, however, smiled and shook her head, not picking it up.

She reached out once again and gently stroked Yue Bing’s head, “Good Bing’er, this is not an ordinary pearl, but a treasure pearl that belongs to you forever, it is a gift from that senior. It should be even more precious than the ‘Meteor Pearl’ and should be a ‘Fantasy Pearl’. I don’t know exactly what it does, I’m afraid only your brother knows! Work harder Bing’er, for such a hardworking girl as you, this Heaven Staircase will surely be like a treasure trove to you!”

Yue Bing looked at the ‘Fantasy Pearl’ in her hands in surprise, and then looked up at the sky again, thinking silently in her heart about Yue Yang: Brother, Bing’er will try hard, wait for me!
