Chapter 940: Sound of Fear
When he saw Earth Nine’s information, Han Fei was quite shocked. It had eaten the ninth sound in nature?
How? Was sound edible?
Besides, Earth Nine was originally a spiritual fruit. What kind of spiritual fruit could have self-awareness and occupy someone else’s body?
Earth Nine gazed at Han Fei. “You seem surprised.”
Han Fei rose and then found that the lazy bear was using his leg as a pillow. He was quite lost for words. Were these animals not scared of strangers at all?
Han Fei pushed the lazy bear’s head away, but it simply changed its posture and kept sleeping.
He looked around and found that a lot of little animals had gathered around, including foxes, rabbits, b.u.t.terflies, etc. All sorts of creatures could be found.
Han Fei thought that Earth Nine did love all creatures. It seemed like quite a harmonious scene.
Han Fei smiled. “Senior, I intend to master this world. I’m in a hurry. How do you want to test me, Senior?”
Earth Nine said with its long and narrow mouth. “I have no objection. You’ve pa.s.sed my test by treating these animals friendly. Are you going to Water l.u.s.ter next?”
Han Fei didn’t know that the fifth creature was named Water l.u.s.ter.
Han Fei shook his head. “No, I don’t have the time. I’m planning to listen to the Nine Sounds.”
“Huh?”
Earth Nine said rather awkwardly, “Well, maybe you will only be able to hear eight sounds, as I’ve already eaten the ninth sound.”
Han Fei pretended to be shocked and exclaimed, “You ate it? Can you eat sound?”
Earth Nine shook its head. “The Nine Sounds aren’t just sounds, but laws in this world. I had a special talent that allowed me to swallow the sound. So, only Eight Sounds are left right now.”
Han Fei pretended to be surprised. Then, he changed the subject, “Senior, are the remaining Eight Sounds simple? Do you know why the distribution of stars is so special in this world?”
Earth Nine shook its head. “I don’t know anything about the stars, but the Eight Sounds aren’t simple. Aren’t you in a hurry?”
Han Fei smiled and said, “Yes, but I still wanted to ask. How many people have come to your place?”
Earth Nine replied solemnly, “Eighteen. Nine of them didn’t win my approval.”
Han Fei was surprised. Even someone as benevolent as Earth Nine would fail someone?
Earth Nine said, “I don’t want my future master to be uncaring and unsympathetic.”
Han Fei got it. “Senior, may I know what the eighth sound is?”
Earth Nine replied solemnly, “Forgetting.”
Han Fei raised his eyebrows. The sound of forgetting? It was exactly like in the Comfort and Nature Technique.
As he expected, Jiuyin Ling’s ancestor had heard the technique from the Sea Quelling Painting.
Also, Jiuyin Ling’s ancestor must have been very strong to hear all the Nine Sounds. However, her ancestor didn’t acquire the Sea Quelling Painting, which indicated the failure of the final test.
If the eighth sound was forgetting, the ninth sound must be the sound of love. That sound had been swallowed by Earth Nine, which lowered the difficulty of the test.
Nevertheless, Han Fei wondered what the sound of forgetting was really like and how to resolve it.
Above all, Han Fei further confirmed that something was seriously wrong with Jiuyin Ling’s Comfort and Nature Technique.
Han Fei crossed his hands and said, “Senior, can you eat the eighth sound?”
Earth Nine: “…”
Earth Nine shook its head solemnly. “No. I lost my swallowing ability after eating the ninth sound. Also, the eighth sound contradicts the ninth one. I can’t eat it even if I wanted to.”
Han Fei nodded his head, deep in thought. “Senior, do you have any keepsakes for me?”
Earth Nine thought for a moment and threw a scale to Han Fei.
Han Fei heaved a sigh. “Very well. I’ll be on my way.”
“Wait a minute!”
Han Fei was about to leave, when Earth Nine stopped him and said, “Water l.u.s.ter is as unapproachable as Fire Seed. If you don’t meet it, it will be hard to deal with when it comes to you.”
Han Fei smiled. “Thank you for your information. Right, Senior, where can I hear the Nine Sounds?”
Earth Nine thought for a moment. “Somewhere closer to the town.”
Han Fei smiled. “Okay!”
Han Fei left without hesitation. He heard Earth Nine’s advice but didn’t consider it a big deal.
He already had four keepsakes, and he didn’t think that Water l.u.s.ter would give him a hard time. After all, all the five creatures were looking for a master for the Sea Quelling Painting. There was no reason why Water l.u.s.ter would give him a hard time…
The first day had pa.s.sed. Han Fei didn’t think the following days would be easy. Through the conversation with the Tree Spirit and Earth Nine, Han Fei believed that the eighth sound was the key.
The Nine Sounds, on the other hand, was just one test. After pa.s.sing it, he had to take other tests in the town.
He wondered if there was any way for him to pick the star from the sky.
Han Fei was rather lost for words. Since when had he become so strong to think that he could pick stars from the sky?
However, Han Fei had no time to bother with that for now. If everything went out as planned, he would be the first to pa.s.s the tests of the five legendary experts.
Oh, wait, four legendary experts. The fifth one was ignored for now.
About half an hour later, Han Fei saw a land that seemed to be covered in an array. Everything there had special arrangements and fit the distribution of the stars. It could be seen obviously.
Also, the vague mist made the scene even more splendid.
Naturally, Han Fei was not in a hurry to dash into this place, even though he was only five thousand kilometers away from the town.
The mist and the starry array had locked down the area. Of course, he could fly to the sky and then over to the town. However, it meant that he would pa.s.s the floating island and reach the other side of the Sea Quelling Painting.
Moving to the top of the Sea Quelling Painting along the mist, Han Fei finally confirmed that all the nine thousand kilometers had been locked down. The mist wasn’t thick, and it stretched far away.
He hadn’t seen anyone after flying for such a long time. Whoever was qualified to fight for the Sea Quelling Painting must still be looking for the five legendary experts.
Han Fei grinned. Since he had to go there anyway, he might as well do it now.
Hum!
Han Fei stepped into the mist. Immediately, the scene changed, and he came to the surface of the sea.
“Huh? Is this an illusion? Or something else?”
Bang!
A bell seemed to be echoing between the sky and the sea.
“Huh?”
Tides rose high and smashed Han Fei. At this moment, he knew that it was the test.
However, the next moment, a pair of shockingly huge wings, which belonged to a green bird that was more than three hundred meters long, rose. It stood in front of Han Fei.
“Water l.u.s.ter?”
Han Fei frowned. Was it because he never visited it?
However, this couldn’t be Water l.u.s.ter’s real self, because he didn’t see any information.
Nevertheless, Han Fei felt like a mountain had just been imposed on him, and he was enshrouded in a terrifying aura.
A crisp and cold voice said, “Human, you don’t intend to meet me?”
Han Fei narrowed his eyes and took out the seed, the fiery stone, the peach and the scale.
Han Fei said, “Senior Water l.u.s.ter, I’ve won the approvals of four seniors. I would’ve visited you if you were closer. I intend to control this world, and you want the Sea Quelling Painting to have a new master. If so, why do you want me to waste my time?”
“Huala!”
The sky was instantly filled with dark clouds, and high tides were rising on the surface of the sea. The air became cold. The big bird was threatening.
For some reason, Han Fei felt that his heart was palpitating.
“Huh?” A feeling of fear proliferated in his heart.
Water l.u.s.ter said coldly, “Human, do you think you don’t need to win my approval because you’ve got the others’? You think I’m nothing?”
Han Fei said solemnly, “Absolutely not. Senior, even if you don’t trust me, don’t you trust the other four seniors?”
Water l.u.s.ter flapped its wings. “Why would I care about them? Since you didn’t come, I’ll just kill you…”
Han Fei saw that the tides had been raised almost three hundred meters high. Faced with such enormous tides, Han Fei couldn’t help but wonder if the bird was getting serious and this wasn’t an illusion at all.
However, Han Fei’s eyes flashed. “I said I would control this world. We’ve met and talked. You don’t have a reason to kill me. I’m the first one to come here anyway. So, you are the sound of fear, right?”
Before Water l.u.s.ter said anything, Han Fei sneered. “I’ve felt fear growing in my heart ever since you showed up. However, do you not know that I’ve been walking on the path of invincibility?”
Hum!
A golden fist raged out and punched at Water l.u.s.ter, who was much larger than Han Fei himself.
Han Fei roared, “I’m going to take this world. What can you do?”
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Dozens of holes were left in the tides.
Water l.u.s.ter shrieked, and lightning struck Han Fei. But Han Fei wasn’t intimidated at all, as he had faced many bolts of lightning in his life.
When the tides three hundred meters high came at him overwhelmingly, Han Fei remained still.
Han Fei stared at Water l.u.s.ter. “You chose the worst law of sound. I’m determined to control this place, and I’m going to beat anything in my way…”
BAM!
The tides poured and knocked Han Fei over.
However, Han Fei returned to the mist in the next second.
Han Fei put on a smile. “Just as I expected… Huh, it’s not an illusion?”
Han Fei was drenched, and his internal organs were rolling. There was also blood on his chest. He was quite astonished.
“d.a.m.n it! It’s not an illusion?”
Han Fei had a speculation. Maybe this place had truly transferred him to the surface of the sea with the star arrays.
He was pretty sure that the fear in his heart was a test.
Did it mean that he had met Water l.u.s.ter and pa.s.sed the sound of fear?
Han Fei gasped and cast the Divine Healing Technique on himself. He also filled his mouth with energy fruits.
He was lost for words. This was just the sound of fear, and it wasn’t an illusion at all. What about the other seven sounds?
