Omnipotent Overlord

Chapter 281: Old Bean and Heart-breaking

Li Mo put Ye Xiaolu down as she twisted the skin on his chest.

Everyone says Emulsion Spirit Body can boost ones cultivation speed. I didnt use to think so, but now Im a believer.

Just you wait! Ye Xiaolu gnashed her teeth.

What, still wont accept it?

Ye Xiaolu walked away bowlegged.

Green Water Palace had many, many disciple. And while its rules werent strict, stating that disciples were forbidden from fighting among each other, it led to the yearly tournament focus not on ones knowledge of magical arts, but on cultivation. 

To sum it all up, it was a debate and not a brawl. 

Ye Xiaolu entered the circle of enlightenment while Li Mo stayed behind.

He decided to sit this one out.

Ye Xiaolus test soon showed her cultivation was in the seventh level. She was among the very best disciples among the fresh batch of newcomers, taking sixth place. 

Li Mo stepped down from joining after finding Ye Xiaolus potential was enough to enter top ten in his stead.

Ye Xiaolu earned ten Cleansing Pills. These were rare pills that purified ones constitution. So rare you could only find them in the Investiture of the Gods world.

With my talent, how can I be in 6th? I wont accept it.

Ye Xiaolu was bitter, even after getting her reward.

Li Mo stared blankly at the names in top ten.

Skipping the strange named Ye Xiaolu, there were two other names that caught him by surprise.

One was Old Bean, the other Heart-breaker Kid.

The two names were a stark contrast from the other seven.

When the top ten entered the stage, Li Mo saw Old Bean and Heart-breaker Kid and the mystery soon came apart. 

They were human with short hair. And their mannerism clearly pointed that they werent residents of this world.

They were just like Li Mo, outsiders!

Li Mo exclaimed.

It makes sense now why the world didnt fall apart once Su Daji finished fusing. Other people came beside us. Its obvious they are men on a mission too. This world will stay put as long as their mission isnt completed.

Such a shame

Li Mo shook his head.

If only this world was a real time-space rupture. But since it wasnt, all boost in strength here would turn to dust once stepping out. 

Case in point, Ye Xiaolus mighty seventh level would fall back to the third level.

Speaking of, what happened to Su Daji truly was a sheer coincidence.

Li Mo frowned.

On the stage, Old Bean and Heart-breaking Kid stood agape at Ye Xiaolu. They were modern men and from China to boot. Of course theyd recognize Ye Xiaolu, the superstar!

She looked the same and even had the same name. That was too much for a coincidence.

Ye Xiaolu sensed nothing wrong. She looked around normally and only gnashed her teeth when noticing Li Mo.

Old Bean and Heart-breaker Kid skedaddled from the circle of enlightenment, unaware of the tail behind them.

Ol Bean, that Ye Xiaolu is the superstar!

I saw. I thought Ye Xiaolu killed herself, but now I see she is just like us, visitors to the Investiture of the Gods world.

How should we handle this?

Lets inform Head Huang first. Hell know what to do.

Lets

The two went to their homes and Old Bean fished out a phone.

Head Huang, me and Heart-breaker just met with the modern Ye Xiaolu in Green Water Palace!

Youre sure?

Absolutely. I am her fan. I was always first in buying every one of her songs the minute they went on sale. Id know her even if she turned to ash.

Dont do anything to alarm her. For now, keep an eye on her and see if she is with anyone else!

Got it.

Old Bean ended the call.

Weve been hiding in the Green Water Palace for thirty years now and even secured top ten places for three times already. If this keeps up, theres hope well do it ten time in a row.

And to think we were a thousand when we first got here and only seven hundred joined Green Water Palace. But even so, all thats left of them are just us

In this world, constitution and talent are paramount. We arent ordinary people either, and I believe we will be among the strongest of this world.

Whats the point? Will we ever surpass Head Huang?

How can you say that? Head Huang has been kind to us. All these years, it was he who looked after us.

Quite, although, 30 years may have gone in this Investiture of the Gods world, while only three on the outside. We havent gone back once in this three years. Tell me, Heart-breaker, dont you miss home?

Of course I do, but we cant go until we finish our mission.

Dont think too much and just focus on your cultivation. As long as we can get into top ten ten times, we can go home and live in comfort.

I miss my wife

I do too. My daughter must be 18 this year

Old Bean and Heart-breaker Kid sighed.

Li Mo was right outside, hearing the two loud and clear.

They were Thunderstruck Enterprises men.

Among Earths three organizations, Experts Alliance was the weakest, while TS and Thunderstruck Enterprise were without a doubt the strongest.

As Experts Alliance dabbed in talents, TS dabbed in medicine. Thunderstruck Enterprise had fully entered the God Realm and the gap in power would only grow larger.

So many years went by, but Thunderstruck Enterprise hid so well that even Li Mo, who came back, had no clue as to their true power.

From the twos talk, Li Mo picked up on them being Thunderstruck Enterprises lowest rung members. But having special constitutions, they rose in power quickly in the Green Water Palace, all to become Grandmaster of Heavens personal disciples.

But from their talk, this Head Huang was regarded with much respect.

You better not wander these days and just focus on cultivation.

Li Mo warned Ye Xiaolu when she got back.

Who do you think I am? Dont think Humph, actually I am feeling a bit sleepy. Dont you dare try anything funny. I dont mean anything by it, got that? Once I get my strength up, see how Ill get you to sleep with those two gnoll bitches instead. Or my name isnt Ye!

Is your butt itchy?

W-what are you doing?

Seeing Li Mo walking closer, Ye Xiaolu cowered.

Did you get what I just told you!

Y-yes

Will you listen from now on?

I will, I will.

Good girl.

Li Mo patted her head.

Ye Xiaolu didnt flinch nor blink
