I Am A Notorious Hidden Boss In The Alternate World

Chapter 316 - Don't Look Down On Frying Pans



As Albion and Cao Wudi interacted, Fenriri found the situation comical and was very amused. 

Her master's disciple was indeed interesting and fun to tease. 

However, the murderous aura being exuded from Albion's body soon made her realize that he was not joking, causing her to be startled. 

Fenriri immediately reminded her master with a quiet nudge. 

"Master, your face is different…"

"Hm? My face?" Albion furrowed his brows before it clicked in his head as he smacked his forehead, "Ooh, right! My face!" 

It had completely slipped his mind.

In fact, the tendency to forget things had been happening more frequently that Albion began to suspect there was a serious problem. 

The realization alarmed him greatly.

'Something is wrong with me!' 

Albion did not doubt that it had something to do with the Dark Emperor's memory fragments that he absorbed. 

He knew that problems would arise from absorbing them, yet he absorbed them anyway. Thus, he was determined to face the problems when the time came. 

Even so, he couldn't prepare for something without knowing how the problem manifests. 

The Dark Emperor was an asura, someone who pursued the path of the killing god. 

No matter which memory fragment he absorbed, there were always memories of battle, blood, and death.

'The cumulative murderous aura is affecting my mentality. A strong mind can suppress it, but a weak mind will succumb to it. I cannot ignore this problem further,' Albion concluded. 

All his thoughts happened in a split second. 

"Ahem," Albion cleared his throat and said, "I was just testing my disguise. Nevertheless, I am disappointed, Wudi. Even if my face has changed, you should have recognized my voice, no?"

"Your voice…? Master? Oh sh*t…" Cao Wudi was even more fearful after the realization. 

Albion's smile turned into a frown instantly.

"I gave you a simple task, and you failed to complete it. Surely, you are prepared to accept the punishment for failing, hm?" Albion calmly asked. 

"Ah, that…" Cao Wudi continued prostrating on the ground and said, "No, Master, the problem was much bigger than what we expected… It was beyond me."

"Are you just going to make excuses, or are you going to start taking responsibility for your failure?"

"That…" Cao Wudi pondered for another excuse.

"Since you failed, and the situation has come to this, your new task is to stay here and train until you reach Spirit Refinement," Albion issued. 

"S-spirit Refinement? Is that even possible…?" Cao Wudi wanted to faint. 

He hasn't even reached the Innate Realm, yet his master wanted to go one step further and reach the Spirit Refinement Realm.

How many years of his life would it take?

"It's impossible, Master. After yesterday's battle, my entire body has been aching with soreness that I can barely move… It'll take some time for this untalented disciple to recover…"

As Cao Wudi spoke, he suddenly thought of the matter and mentioned, "Oh, yes. Something strange happened in yesterday's battle, Master… This disciple suddenly burst…"

Cao Wudi recounted how his body was able to erupt with strength way beyond his current limits and allowed him to fight on par with B-rank Hunters despite his qualifications as an unofficial C-rank Hunter.

"Interesting…"

After listening to the details, Albion was intrigued. 

He started rummaging inside the Asura Ring before he took out a red pill and tossed it to Cao Wudi, "Eat this." 

"What is this pill, Master?" Cao Wudi caught the red pill and stared at it curiously.

"Less nonsense, and just eat it."

"Y-yes, Master."

Cao Wudi swallowed the red pill without further hesitation. 

In any case, his master shouldn't be trying to harm him… probably, not without a good reason…

In a short instance, the red pill melted and spread a fiery heat to every part of Cao Wudi's body, and before long, all his soreness vanished without a trace. 

"This pill is amazing, Master!" Cao Wudi was amazed by the red pill's effect before he asked, "What kind of pill is this?"

"A Rank-2 Body Restoration Pill," Albion casually answered.

Body Restoration Pills were commonly used to help Body Refiners recover from their fatigue and exhausted muscles. 

After waiting a few moments, Albion checked on Cao Wudi's condition, "How are you feeling?"

"Never better! I feel alive again!" Cao Wudi happily answered. 

"Feel alive again, huh?" Albion nodded before muttering, "That's good… that's good…"

"Huh?"

For some reason, Cao Wudi had an ominous feeling. 

"Since you feel alive again. It's time to go and find another big group of monsters for you to fight. I'm curious to see how you break your body's limit," Albion said with a smile. 

"No, wait… Master…" Cao Wudi's face paled immediately before he retreated a few steps and uttered, "Let's talk about this…"

Alas, Albion did not listen. 

He abruptly grabbed both Fenriri and Cao Wudi's hands before taking off into the sky, startling the both of them. 

"Huh? Noooo—!

"Ahhhh—!"

The two cried. 

Their cries were loud enough to be heard by the hunters inside the Stillwater Hunter Association Branch, who couldn't hear anything prior. 

Seeing Hero Wudi scream as the blonde elf abducted him, the Branch Leader and hunters paid their condolences as if they would never see him again.

"Rest in peace, Hero Wudi. Your sacrifice will be remembered," the Branch Leader said.

After flying high above Stillwater city's skyscrapers, Albion quickly found another area with a high density of crawlers before shooting over. 

While hovering over thousands of crawlers, Albion said, "Go down and show me what you got, Wudi."

"Master, it's impossible! I don't have any weapons!"

"Oh." Albion nonchalantly took out the Dark Emperor's treasured black sword and handed it to Cao Wudi. "Now you have one. Go."

Cao Wudi was dropped, but he immediately clung to Albion's leg without letting go.

"Nooo! Master, I also need a shield! I'm a sword and shield user!"

"A shield, huh?" Albion furrowed his brows. 

He rummaged the Asura Ring but did not find any shield for Cao Wudi. 

However, he did find a sturdy frying pan forged with rank-2 materials, which could be used as a substitute shield.

Although it was brief and unorthodox, the Dark Emperor did use the frying pan to concoct pills until he found a good pill cauldron.

"Take it."

"…" 

Cao Wudi's lips twitched before he cried, "That's not a shield, Master. That's a frying pan!"

"So what if it's a frying pan? Are you looking down on frying pans? Have you never heard about the legends of the turtleback immortal who concocts aphrodisiacs? He was also terrified of death like you!" Albion scoffed.
