Chapter 662: Playing With A Ball
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Treasure nurtured by heaven and earth?
An Lin was quite excited to hear this. This was the first time Tina had told him of a treasure being born into this world, and on top of that, it was situated on the holy land too. This was even sooner than he had antic.i.p.ated.
“Take me there!” He suddenly stood up.
His body then slowly disintegrated into specks of golden light right before Adam and Eve’s eyes.
“As expected of G.o.d’s spokesperson, his methods of departure are always a sight to behold!” Eve’s expression glowed with admiration.
An Lin was still at Qi Lou City one second, but in the next second, he had arrived at a mysterious place.
This place was isolated by laws, and although it existed in this world, it was also separated from this world.
“Let’s go, Giant An Lin!”
Tina held onto An Lin’s hand with a broad grin before joyfully skipping toward a certain location.
The two of them pa.s.sed through a meadow of flowers where the aroma of flowers wafted through the air and b.u.t.terflies fluttered nearby. A few furry, white beasts were startled away by An Lin and Tina’s sudden arrival, while a powerful yet adorkable grey bear picked its nose with an oblivious expression.
An Lin and Tina ran a short distance before arriving at an area where five-colored crystals littered the entire ground.
“Is the treasure that stone in the middle?” An Lin pointed excitedly to an ordinary-looking stone amid all the crystals. There was simply no way to miss it as it was far too out of place among all the beautiful crystals. Even though it didn’t really have any special characteristics to speak of, its lack of special characteristics, in this case, made it extremely easy to pick out.
“That’s right!” Tina waved a hand through the air, and the rough, spherical black-and-white stone landed in her hand.
An Lin also extended a hand toward it with a curious expression. The surface was a bit coa.r.s.e, and it looked no different from the stones you would find on the side of the road. On top of that, he couldn’t detect any energy fluctuations from it.
“What is this? Is this really a treasure?” An Lin was confused.
“Calm down, I still haven’t enlightened it yet!” Tina replied in a rea.s.suring tone.
“En-enlighten?” An Lin’s lips twitched slightly. “Are you serious?”
“Of course I am.” Tina nodded with a serious expression, and her emerald eyes danced with glowing light as she held the stone in her hand while reciting a mantra.
An Lin: “…”
A few seconds later, a pillar of golden light descended from the sky before enveloping An Lin and Tina.
The black-and-white stone suddenly cracked open, and the outer layer of stone shards fell away to reveal a flawless, translucent bead.
An Lin surveyed the bead carefully to find that although it was a glittering and translucent white, one could also see many different colors when looking closely. The stone was a flawless, holy object, but at the same time, it was also slightly ethereal, thus giving onlookers a sense of enchantment.
“How about that? My enlightenment worked, right?” Tina spoke as if she was quite pleased with herself.
An Lin took a deep breath. “I feel like even if a pig were to be enlightened by a G.o.d of Creation, they would become more bad*ss than Zhu Bajie!”
Tina gleaned the implications behind An Lin’s words, and she pouted with dissatisfaction. “What are you trying to say? This stone is already a treasure! I only enlightened it so that it can awaken a bit earlier than it otherwise would!”
An Lin tussled Tina’s soft, golden locks, and with a smile, he said, “Alright, I believe you, Little Na! Tell me what this treasure does!”
Tina was thrilled at the mention of the treasure, and her gloomy mood was instantly uplifted.
She pa.s.sed the white bead to An Lin as a mysterious smile appeared on her face. “How about you try it to find out?”
An Lin’s expression s.h.i.+fted slightly as a sense of foreboding welled up in his heart. “How do I do that?”
“Stand here and don’t move. I’m going to open up some distance between you and myself!” Tina fluttered through the air and was soon over a hundred meters away from An Lin.
An Lin found her words to be a little familiar, but he didn’t think too much of it as he stood on the spot with a patient expression.
“Giant An Lin, take this!” Tina suddenly hurled the white ball toward An Lin!
The white ball hurtled at a blinding speed toward An Lin.
An Lin’s pupils contracted, and he was about to dodge, but the ball was simply too fast, and it crashed into his body before he could even move.
The expected horrifying explosion didn’t happen. The white ball crashed into An Lin’s stomach before rolling down onto the ground as if it were a harmless rubber ball.
An Lin: “…”
He was just about to speak when he heard Tina chuckle with glee as she extended a finger toward An Lin. “Get in the ball!”
An Lin: “???”
A crack suddenly opened up on the surface of the white ball. From within the ball, a colorful light burst forth before enveloping An Lin in it. What followed was an extremely powerful suction force.
An Lin couldn’t resist the suction force, and he was instantly transferred into a pure white s.p.a.ce.
He looked around at the endless expanse of white around him with astonishment on his face. “Is this…”
“That’s right! You’ve been sealed within the ball!” Tina’s crisp voice sounded.
An Lin: “…”
For some reason, he felt like this was quite a familiar scene.
Was this Pokemon?! It had to be, right?!
An Lin’s expression darkened. He felt like he had become Tina’s Pokemon. “And then? What else does this ball do, Little Na?”
“That’s it. This is a high-rank spatial artifact that is able to trap an enemy within! We can then transfer the enemy into this world along with this ball and strike them down!” Tina elaborated.
“And what prerequisite conditions have to be fulfilled before I can use this?” An Lin asked.
“Hmm…” Tina fell into deep thought for a moment before replying, “The only condition is that you have to be of the equivalent or a higher cultivation base than your enemy to be able to trap them into this ball!”
An Lin’s chest constricted, and he almost threw up a mouthful of blood.
He had to be of a higher cultivation base than his enemy to use this ball? What a f*cking joke?! He was a specialist in slaying enemies of higher cultivation bases than himself, what was the point of trapping someone of a lower cultivation base than himself?
Which meant that he could insta-kill anyone that he could trap in this ball!
What a useless treasure…
However, it seemed like Tina could put it to good use. After all, at her cultivation base, she would be able to trap some Return to Void Stage mighty figures.
An Lin asked Tina to release him from the ball, and he reappeared with disappointment on his face.
He didn’t take the ball. Instead, he let Tina keep it.
“Giant An Lin, what should I call this treasure?” Tina held the white ball with a joyful expression. It was clear that she was extremely fond of this treasure.
“Just call it a Pokeball,” An Lin replied expressionlessly.
“Pokeball?” Tina’s eyes lit up. “What a fantastic name! You really are a genius, Giant An Lin!”
An Lin’s lips twitched as he offered a forced smile.
Thus, the first treasure to be nurtured by this world, the Pokeball, was taken by G.o.d of Creation Tina…
