The Genius System Without Equal

“Hey, stop arguing! I’m the one who ate the most, alright?”

Xiao Luo found the incessant arguing annoying and slammed his hands on the table in exasperation. To see them fight over such a trivial topic, he finally understood what the expression, “nothing better to do after eating,” meant.

Ghost and Duck Emperor stopped bickering instantly. When they compared the pile of bones that resembled a mini mountain in front of them and looked at Xiao Luo’s side of the table—it was that much less cluttered. It made them slightly embarrassed.

That night, Ghost and Duck Emperor were fast asleep on their beds, while Xiao Luo sat down and leaned against the window frame. He stared vacantly into the night sky outside.

It was now already almost a month since his wife, Su Li, had been abducted. Just how was she coping? Had she recovered her memories and assumed the role of a high and mighty Holy Ruler of Arcana Land? Or was she suffering in endless pain?

He wanted to teleport immediately to the Holy Land of the Light Clan, take Su Li back, and let her rest on his sturdy shoulders. God and Buddha had their paths to overcoming adversity. But all Xiao Luo knew was that even if his opponent was the Heavenly King of the skies, no one could stop him from taking her back!

Yet, so far they had only traveled about 1.4 million kilometers and there were only about halfway to their next location, Tarawa City. Although they were now under the same sky, she was still far away and seemed so hard to reach.

“Wife, wait for me—you have to wait for me!”

Xiao Luo muttered to himself, very determined to find her. Visions of Su Li’s pretty face flashed in his mind, and he pictured her charming smile as he gazed into the starry night sky.

…

It was an uneventful night, but the next morning, Xiao Luo urgently woke Ghost and Duck Emperor. Still half asleep, they soon realized that Baiyue Nation guards had cordoned off their inn so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through. The guards held spears, halberds, bow and arrows, and broadswords; and kept vigilant watch over the inn. It appeared that nothing could get in or out of there without them knowing.

“Wow, what a large troop of guards. How did they find us here?” Ghost was not the least bit nervous. In fact, she was feeling quite excited.

“Little girl, you’ve missed the most important point,” Duck Emperor remarked.

Of course, one would expect the little duck’s thinking to be slightly more logical.

Xiao Luo thought to himself, looking at all this large force of hostile guards surrounding the inn, wasn’t it more normal to feel nervous? Isn’t it weird she was more concerned with how they found us?

“The most important point? What’s the most important point?” Ghost asked Duck Emperor.

Duck Emperor smacked her head and sighed as he said, “Oh, little girl… You innocent little girl. Haven’t you noticed something about these guards? Most of them look young and pretty—that’s the most important point! Look at their skin. They are so white and tender, just like yours!”

What the…!

Xiao Luo choked—he expected something a little more logical from the duck, but he had overestimated his abilities. After listening to Duck Emperor’s “important point,” he snarled at Duck Emperor, “Shut up right now!”

“What’s wrong? Are you jealous that I’m better looking than you again?” Duck Emperor said.

SLAP!

Ghost smacked Duck Emperor’s head and said, “Don’t compare your looks with my Senior Luoluo. My Senior Luoluo is the most handsome man. He’s the world’s most handsome man!”

“Your” senior…?

Since when did I become yours?

Xiao Luo was having a mental breakdown now.

There was a large troop of guards outside the inn led by a fat officer. They were all part of General Zuomeng’s detail.

The fat officer was in her battle armor and stood there haughtily looking tall and strong. Like a crane among a flock of hens, she stood out prominently and caught their eye.

“According to reliable sources, the man who teleported from Baiyue Nation yesterday is in here. He is in disguise and has dressed up as a girl.” The adjutant reported, standing in front of the fat officer.

The fat officer dug her nose, then flicked the booger away with her thumb. “Then what are you waiting for, rush in and finish him!”

“But her majesty said that we’ve to make sure he’s not hurt. If we injure him, it’ll be hard for us to explain it to her majesty,” said the adjutant awkwardly.

“Adjutant Shen, you worry too much.”

The fat officer slapped the adjutant on the shoulder with the hand that she had used to dig her nose, and said, “That man’s cultivation level is at least that of a Martial Emperor. We can’t injure him. The reason I asked you all to rush in and finish him, is for you to put up an excellent show in front of Grand Master. What’s wrong, are you going to let this opportunity slip?”

The adjutant was stunned upon hearing that. The same went for all the other female soldiers around them.

“Grand Master is here?” asked the adjutant.

“She’s still on her way. With the Grand Master’s high cultivation level, she can reach here in the blink of an eye. We’ll take the lead and have Grand Master kill that stinky man. Only our Grand Master has the ability to kill that man,” said the fat officer with a solemn look.

Finally realizing her intention, the adjutant said, “With that, we won’t have to explain anything to her majesty. It is Grand Master who will have to explain to her majesty why she killed that man.”

“That’s right. Hurry and give the order to rush in so that we can take the credit!” The fat officer yelled impatiently.

“Yes, general.”

The adjutant felt elated and was extremely excited. She quickly nodded her head.

At that moment, Ghost, holding onto a little red umbrella, floated down like a fairy. She appeared superior to any normal human being. With a cheeky smile on her face, she said, “Let me play with you guys.”

She descended right between the group of guards, landing on both her hands and feet. She looked outstanding—no one detected any True Inner Force flowing within her, but she unleashed an overwhelming surge of explosive force. She knocked the large force of guards down like a hurricane in just a couple of seconds.

“Grandpa Duck Emperor is here to train with these young baby girls too!”

Duck Emperor flew in like white lightning. Relying on his speed, the duck swiftly slapped dozens of the female guards on their cheek, and the ground echoed with crisp cracks of his slaps. Duck Emperor went even further—he grabbed hold of their armor and pulled them off. As their armor suits dropped to the ground, the guards were left with only their white underwear. They were so embarrassed that they didn’t know what to do. Weirdly, the duck likened their pale bodies to a bowl of congee.

“Oh, my… You shy little girls. It’s a pity that Grandpa Duck here isn’t a man, otherwise, it’d feel like I’m walking past a field of flowers, covered in rain and dew!” Duck Emperor hollered, smirking mischievously up in the air.

“Shoot this stinky duck down right now!” The fat officer ordered. She was so angry that she was gritting her teeth.

“Understood!”

A section of archers aimed at Duck Emperor hovering in the sky and let loose.

A flight of arrows zoomed toward the duck as thick as rain.

“You missed, haha… you just can’t hit me!”

Duck Emperor was extremely fast. One second it was in the northeast corner, and the next second it was in the southwest. As unpredictable as a ghost, it was moving around with ease and at times, it even lay repose in the air.

“You’re all so slow. Have you been lazing around during practice?”

The fat officer growled at the archers and stared at them angrily. She then pointed her ax at Duck Emperor and threw it at him.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

The sharp ax spun through the air at great speed toward the Duck Emperor, howling like the wind.

“A little ax is no threat!”

It did not bother Duck Emperor at all, and he even sniggered. Once the ax came closer, he planned to flap his wings and dodge it at the last minute.

But at that moment, an arrow appeared out of nowhere and pierced into his duck butt.

“Ouch…!”

Duck Emperor was stunned and screamed like a pig being slaughtered. He ascended over ten meters into the air like his butt was on fire.
