Failed Awakening, Summoning a Divine Beast, I Take Off On the Spot – Chapter 23

Ch 23: Goodbye Chen Che

“Soul Resonance!”

Chu Qiu temporarily took over Diting’s actions, took out Red Bull and poured it into his mouth, and then his body soared, his aura suddenly rose, his eyes revealed a bloodthirsty cold light, and he looked at the Goblin King.

Under Chu Qiu’s control, Diting let out a low roar and rushed towards the Goblin King again. Its body drew a perfect arc in the air, cleverly bypassing the Goblin King’s back, and a claw slammed ◈◈◈* the Goblin King’s back.

“Bang!”

With another loud noise, a deep claw mark was left on the Goblin King’s back, and blood gushed out like a fountain, instantly staining its body red.

The Goblin King, in pain, let out an even more angry and shrill roar. It gave up attacking the ghosts and turned to pounce on Diting.

The open mouth exuded a strong stench and the aura of death, as if it wanted to swallow Diting in one bite.

However, Diting nimbly dodged the Goblin King’s attack with a sideways movement, and then bypassed it again, preparing to launch the next more fatal attack.

Seeing the effect, Chu Qiu constantly controlled the ghosts to interfere with the Goblin King, striving for more attack opportunities for Diting.

The two sides came and went, and as time went by, the Goblin King’s health continued to decline, and Diting’s aura was also gradually declining as the effect of Red Bull was disappearing.

At this time, the scene in the camp was even more tragic. The Bloodstained Phoenix, like a demon from h*ll, was relentlessly chasing and strangling the old, weak, sick, disabled, and pregnant goblins.

The air was filled with the smoke of battle and a strong smell of blood. The ground was covered with goblin corpses lying in disarray, a mess.

The Goblin King looked at the camp angrily, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness. It suddenly swung its spiked club, smashing it towards Diting with endless anger.

However, due to excessive blood loss, its body staggered and its movements were slightly slow. Diting seized the opportunity, flashed its figure, and a claw slammed ◈◈◈* its neck.

This time, Diting didn’t give the Goblin King any chance to breathe.

Its claws, like sharp blades, were deeply embedded in the Goblin King’s neck, and Netherworld Flames suddenly erupted, instantly enveloping the Goblin King.

The Goblin King let out a final shrill roar and slowly fell to the ground. Its huge body was covered with wounds left by Diting’s claws, and its bloodthirsty eyes gradually dimmed, completely losing their vitality.

“Ding, killed Goblin King, gained experience points, rare soul shard 1.”

“I like the way you get hard, and I like the way you get soft even more, bah!”

With first blood in hand, he felt refreshed. Although it was a big battle and he was sweating profusely, it was just one word: awesome!

Chu Qiu looked at the Goblin King lying dead on the spot, gently touched Diting’s head, and sent it back to the Contract Space.

With the fall of the Goblin King, the sky above the entire Goblin Feast Secret Realm suddenly brightened, and a dazzling light streaked across the sky, illuminating the entire battlefield like daylight.

Afterwards, a virtual interface made of light slowly floated in front of Chu Qiu, and the settlement screen appeared.

【Congratulations, summoner Chu Qiu, you have successfully defeated the final BOSS of the Goblin Feast ━ the Goblin King, and successfully cleared this Secret Realm!】

【Secret Realm Name】: Goblin Feast

【Cleared Team】: Chu Qiu （Captain）, Fang Yan

【Clearance Time】: 5 hours and 21 minutes

【Difficulty】: Nightmare

【Secret Realm Evaluation】: SSS-level Perfect Clearance

“Congratulations to player Chu Qiu for successfully defeating the Goblin King and clearing the Goblin Feast Secret Realm! Your bravery and wisdom have left an indelible mark on this continent. May you continue to write your legend in the adventures that follow!”

As the settlement was completed, the ground beneath Chu Qiu and Fang Yan’s feet began to glow softly, and the light gradually converged into a light gate.

“10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5…” The prompt sounded again.

The two walked side by side in the bustling crowd of Secret Realm Plaza, which was much more lively than when they had first set foot here.

The newly promoted Awakened were gathered together in twos and threes, either talking in low voices or pointing, and the air was filled with a tense and excited atmosphere.

“Fang Yan, wait for me.”

A clear and slightly hurried voice suddenly interrupted the surrounding noise, and Chen Che walked through the crowd.

His face was plastered with a smile that he thought was enough to fascinate all living beings, and he walked straight towards Fang Yan, completely ignoring Chu Qiu standing beside her.

“Chen Che, what’s the matter?”

Fang Yan’s voice was as clear and cold as a spring, and her eyes were filled with surprise and alienation.

After all, her relationship with Chen Che was limited to nodding acquaintances, and there was not much interaction, not as familiar as with Chu Qiu.

“Fang Yan, are you interested in teaming up?”

A gentleman is nothing more than a patient wolf. A long road reveals the lack of horsepower, and time reveals the treacherousness of the human heart.

Chen Che’s eyes were fixed on Fang Yan’s cold and beautiful figure, completely ignoring Chu Qiu’s existence, as if Chu Qiu was transparent.

His face was filled with a confident smile, obviously believing that Fang Yan would definitely agree to his invitation.

Chu Qiu understood Chen Che’s arrogance. After all, he was just an “awakening waste” and had no status among the Awakened.

And Chen Che was a highly anticipated S-class Heaven’s Chosen, possessing enviable strength and talent.

The gap between the two, in the eyes of ordinary people, was like a chasm, difficult to cross.

“The temple is small, the evil wind is strong, the water is shallow, and there are many turtles!”

Hearing his words, Confucius smiled, Mencius was angry, Xunzi was convinced, and Chu Qiu was unhappy.

Everyone is doing this for the first time. I can understand if you ignore me, but you dare to poach in the street. Who do you think you are?

🀀 Originally, he knew Chen Che’s character well. You take your overpass, I take my underpass, and I don’t bother to argue with a piece of trash. 🀀

What’s more, in broad daylight, in a bright and clear world, it is illegal to kill people in the street. Chu Qiu is a law-abiding citizen.

But if he dares to throw a knife at me, then don’t blame me for retaliating with guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, spears, clubs, whips, maces, hammers, grabs, crutches, meteor hammers, and rocket launchers.

Fang Yan did not answer Chen Che’s question, but gently tilted her head, signaling him to look at the Secret Realm Clearance Leaderboard not far away.

“You…you…”

Chen Che’s voice trembled with disbelief. His eyes swept across the leaderboard, and the clearance records of each team were clearly visible, shining with different lights.

When he saw that Chu Qiu and Fang Yan’s team was actually ranked second in Nightmare difficulty, a trace of jealousy and unwillingness flashed in his eyes, as if he had been slapped ◈◈◈* the face.

“Let’s go, I’ll treat you to dinner!” Fang Yan turned to look at Chu Qiu, her eyes full of gratitude.

Chu Qiu smiled and nodded, deliberately glanced at Chen Che: “Hang out with me, if I have food to eat, you’ll have a bowl to wash.”

After saying that, he turned around and walked away with Fang Yan, who smiled, towards the restaurant, leaving Chen Che gnashing his teeth in place.

“How can this waste be worthy of being with you?”

🀀 Looking at the backs of the two leaving side by side, the unhappiness in Chen Che’s heart surged like a tide, making him feel an unprecedented sense of frustration. 🀀

At this moment, Chen Yang, who had been looking for him, came to his side, and Chen Che’s nameless fire instantly found an outlet.

He suddenly turned around and vented all his anger on his younger brother: “Look at you, I told you to study hard, but you insisted on raising pigs! It’s really embarrassing!”

As he spoke, he slapped Chen Yang a few times mercilessly, catching Chen Yang off guard. His eyes were full of grievance and incomprehension, and his eyes quickly turned red, but he didn’t dare to retort.
