"Hua hua hua hua zeng zeng zeng zeng…" The sounds of the electronic keyboard, flute and piano sounded out in a harmony as it reverberated across the entire tomb!
The few Fire Emperor’s spirits who had just came out of their tombs paused abruptly as their faces were filled with fear.
Although all that was left of them were mere spirits, their expressions and faces could be seen very clearly as they retained their looks before they pa.s.sed away!
The spirits of Kim Fatty and the rest of them had already fled several hundred meters away. When they heard this sound, all of them halted as their eyes opened wide in shock and were extremely frightened.
They didn’t mean to stop intentionally. It was just that the music caused them to stop involuntarily.
"What’s going on? What’s senior doing?"
"Why does it feel like my body is beyond my own control? I feel like... Dancing!"
"Me too!"
"Wooo wooo wooo!"
Kim Fatty Two Plus One and the rest of the spirits were stumped. None of them could understand why the melody had such an effect on them, to the extent that they couldn’t even control themselves.
At the entrances of the tombs, the few Void Refining Stage Fire Emperor spirits opened their eyes wide. It almost seemed like they didn’t know how to speak and could only open their mouths as though they had lost all memories of their past!
Xu Que ignored them and continued playing his musical instruments filled with fervor. He then looked at them and shouted out loudly.
"Ready… Go! One two three four five six seven eight, two two three four five six seven eight, three two three four five six seven eight, four two three four five six seven eight, stretching exercise begins…"
"One two three four five six seven eight…"
At that exact moment, Kim Fatty Two Plus One along with all his spirit companions and the Fire Emperor spirits all started moving vigorously as they did their gymnastics stretching exercises.
Al their movements were very uncoordinated and out of sync and yet they couldn’t control themselves. They were moving and dancing with strange actions. Some of them even half squatted and started doing tai-chi moves, while others kicked and punched the air!
Xu Que turned his head to look at everyone around him as he scanned his vision around the tomb entrance.
Even the Form Synthesis spirits couldn’t avoid the immense control the music had on them and were doing their own stretching exercises as well.
"That’s right. Even if you’re at the Void Refining or Form Synthesis stage, everyone has to do the warm up stretching exercises together. There’s no escaping it!" Xu Que nodded his head elatedly as he supervised their movements sternly.
The way he looked and monitored them, he was clearly the legendary ‘disciple master’ keeping a close watch over them!
The strange music continued as Xu Que shouted out the counts for them, giving them a beat to move to!
"Four two three four five six, jumping jacks, one two three four five six seven eight…"
"Shoulder rotation, one two three four five six seven eight, two two three four five six seven eight…"
"Chest stretching exercise, one two three four five six seven eight…"
Under the quick paced beats, the few spirits strangely listened to his count and switched positions whenever he ordered them to. The more they moved, the better they became at it as their form improved.
The music continued as this track was on a loop!
At this point, Xu Que was already tired of shouting. Hence, he activated the automatic ability from the system and allowed the system to draw on his soul strength and continued shouting out the counts.
Soon after, Xu Que placed his hands behind his back and wore a severe expression across his face. As the discipline master and fitness teacher, he walked across and surveyed the movements of these few generations of Fire Emperor spirits.
The leader of the Fire Emperor spirits stood right by the tomb door and was an old looking man. His face was downcast and his eyes revealed a ferocious glare as he stared at Xu Que. His entire body was shaking as powerful energy emanated out from it.
Xu Que had seen a painting of this old man hung atop the walls of the Fire Nations Palace. This was the father of the present Fire Emperor!
"What are you staring at? Do you believe that this Prince Consort will spank you? Raise your legs higher. Higher!"
"And you! Please don’t think for a second that I didn’t notice you. You’re the grandfather of the current Fire Emperor, huh? Hurry up. Raise your arms higher. Don’t be lazy!"
"And you over there! Why are your psych.o.m.otor skills so poor? Watch the others and learn from them!"
"f.u.c.k me, aren’t you the very first Fire Emperor? Wow! Impressive. Form Synthesis Stage? Can you jump up properly? You’re twisting and turning like this. What are you trying to achieve? We’re doing our morning warm up stretches, not pole dancing, big brother!"
"Yo yo yo, who’s that over there? Can you not jump up so vigorously? Your pants are falling off. Pull them back up. d.a.m.n it, this men in the Imperial family all have the same genes. You inherit each other’s small p.e.n.i.ses. Seems like I can’t really blame the current Fire Emperor for having such a small dragon as well!"
"f.u.c.k me, big brother, why are you moving so vigorously as if you’re familiar with the entire set of exercises? Slow down! Your head is almost falling off!"
Xu Que walked by the side and watched the entire group of Fire Emperors doing their stretching exercises as he shouted and scolded them.
Indeed, n.o.body could do anything to Xu Que, for spirits were weak in soul strength. Much less the fact that Four Star Musician talent needed an extremely strong soul strength to resist. Hence, regardless of how powerful in cultivation these Fire Emperors were, even if they were at the Form Synthesis Stage, they were powerless!
"One two three four five six seven eight…" The broadcast was still playing at this point.
Xu Que also had his fill of scolding them.
He stood by the side and observed.
Since he already gained complete control over these spirits, killing them would be such a waste. Especially since he had spent so much act tough points on them.
"System, would you accept spirits? I can sell you a Form Synthesis spirit for one billion act tough points!" Xu Que asked the system.
The system replied coldly, "No!"
"One hundred million act tough points?"
"No!"
"f.u.c.k. Your bargaining skills are not bad. Alright then, what about 100,000 act tough points!"
"..." The system ignored him completely and chose not to reply.
Xu Que realized that the system wouldn’t accept these spirits for anything and was rather frustrated.
If the system wouldn’t accept them, it means they are truly rubbish and worthless! d.a.m.n it. The system even accepted rotting coffins but wouldn’t accept these spirits!
After thinking for some time, Xu Que’s eyes lit up as an idea came to him.
He was extremely elated as he asked the system, "System, can these things here be exposed to sunlight? Would they die if they saw light?"
"These spirits remained here for some reason and thus wouldn’t ever be able to leave. The system suggests to host to purchase a high level Soul PaG.o.da to bring them out if he wishes!"
"f.u.c.k. You’re trying to scam me into spending more!" Xu Que’s face sunk immediately.
A high grade Spirit Prison PaG.o.da could cost a thousand act tough points!
However, a single Spirit PaG.o.da could contain several spirits. Keeping them within it would mean he could release them out anytime he wished.
When Xiao Rou had died, Xu Que had purchased a Soul PaG.o.da for Xiao Rou. Although these sound almost the same, they are extremely different items.
The Soul PaG.o.da could only contain a single spirit and at the same time, could nurture and nourish the soul within. As time pa.s.sed, this spirit would become stronger!
The Spirit Prison PaG.o.da was different for it was a prison and was used to torment spirits. The conditions within were extremely poor.
When Xu Que had to purchase a Soul PaG.o.da for Xiao Rou, he didn’t have much options since he had just started his career and was limited in act tough points. Hence, he could only purchase a Soul PaG.o.da to keep Xiao Rou within and couldn’t do anything for the rest of the villagers who had died.
Everytime Xu Que thought about this, he sighed out in regret.
Now, his mission was to collect the five special Genesis Herbs to revive Xiao Rou. Since he had already gained entry into the Fire Nation’s Imperial Tombs, he was nearing his very first spiritual herb!
However at this point, he also wanted to exact his vengeance upon the Fire Emperor and destroy his powerful cultivator’s body!
"Alright then. It’s only 1,000 act tough points. I wish to purchase the Spirit Prison PaG.o.da. When I’m done with all this, I shall release the entire host of dancing Fire Emperor spirits out and scare the living daylights out of the current Emperor!"
