"You're almost late." Looking at the two of them, Sun Wukong blew his pipe and exclaimed.
After unpacking, Cao Cao and Bikou immediately rushed out to find their teacher.
It took some time but with Bikou's help, they quickly found their way to the Monkey King.
"Teacher I—!" But before he could speak, his fellow descendant have beat him up to it.
"Sorry Gramps, It was my bad. I'm just testing the new guy, I didn't know he's your disciple." Bikou apologized sheepishly while rubbing the back of his head.
Cao Cao was surprised by this but quickly nodded his head. Thanks, Bikou.
"Is that so? No matter, summon your Sacred Gear, Chaos Brat." The Buddha didn't delve to the topic and urged him to summon his Sacred Gear.
Confused by the nickname, Cao Cao still summoned his spear, the True Longinus.
The immense holy aura it emitted shocked Bikou.
"M-Man, what's this aura?" The Monkey King Descendant wasn't really aware of various types of Sacred Gears.
"This, my boy, is The Spear of Destiny, The True Longinus." Sun Wukong informed them.
Bikou looks confused, Cao Cao knows this but still pretends to be puzzled.
"You weren't listening last time, Bikou? Since the Chaos Brat is here, then I'll explain it once more." The old monkey said.
"As I said before, Sacred Gears are tools given by the Biblical God of the Christian Faction to humans. You can say it's a way to protect themselves from the supernatural. Some people who engraved their names in history also possessed Sacred Gear of their own."
The Daiyoukai looked at the two and saw the both of them listening, he continued.
"In these Sacred Gears, a special category exists and those are the Longinus. These Longinus are said to be able to kill gods if mastered, though it hasn't been provened, the notoriety of their previous users have left marks on other pantheons."
"There are Thirteen Longinus that exist and you, Cao Cao, wield the strongest one. The Holy Spear also known as the True Longinus, deriving the concept of Longinus from its name." With a blow of his pipe, Sun Wukong finished his explanation.
"That's nuts buddy! You have a God Killing Spear!?" Bikou looks absolutely amazed. Cao Cao would be amazed too if he was in his shoes.
"Well, I don't really feel it but since the teacher said so, it must be the case." The True Longinus wielder looked at his Sacred Gear. That's the truth, he still doesn't feel it.
But hey, even the original Cao Cao didn't manage to do so. No need to be down about it.
"Of course brat, Sacred Gears grows alongside their users. The stronger the user's desire, the more powerful it becomes. Some Sacred Gears can even enter a state called Balance Break."
"Balance Break?" Cao Cao and Bikou asked at the same time.
"You can say it's the Sacred Gear's final form. Despite this, few people have actually managed to activate it." The first generation Sun Wukong sighed.
"So seeing you wield the Strongest Longinus and being the descendant of the Chinese Warlord Cao Mengde, what do you plan to do now?" Sun Wukong must admit that he's amazed how the Ultimate Longinus is possessed by someone who has a hero bloodline. Perhaps, he will be the most competent user of the Strongest Longinus so far.
"I want to train under your wing teacher." With a determined face, Cao Cao bowed his head to Sun Wukong.
"I already granted you permission, Bikou would be here as your training partner." What would Lord Indra think if he saw the kid in front of him?
"Nice, look at that dude, we will be training buddies from now. Maybe you can fight me using your spear?" Bikou asked with burning eyes. It seems that from a young age, he's already a battle maniac.
"I'll be going now, do entertain yourself with each other." As the Vanguard of Sakra. The Monkey King needs to follow his orders.
No matter how unreasonable some of them may be.
Turning around, Sun Wukong summoned his cloud Kinto-un and flew over, disappearing into the sky.
"Now that Gramps is gone, let's fight!" No ifs or buts. Bikou summoned his Ryu Jingu Bang and aimed at his fellow disciple.
"I'm not really that good but okay." Cao Cao sighed and readied his spear.
'This is gonna be a long day.'
—
Washing his body, the Ultimate Longinus' user sighed.
"Ugh.." Remembering his fight against the Monkey King descendant, Cao Cao couldn't help but grunt.
"Stupid Youkai physique." He's at a disadvantage in their battle, not only is Bikou more experienced and skilled, his body as a Youkai also grants him an unfair advantage towards him.
He, Cao Cao, is just a human after all.
Although he's capable of dodging his attacks because of his intuition, in terms of physique attributes, the monkey youkai beats him.
"I'm gonna need to learn how to deal with that." He really wants to learn Senjutsu.
Noticing his fight against Bikou. Cao Cao figured that the monkey youkai is using Senjutsu to dodge his attacks.
He's not surprised, after all, from what he remembers, Senjutsu is like breathing for youkais especially someone like Bikou who has a Senjutsu master for an ancestor.
He did quickly notice that his own insight was adapting to their battle. It wasn't enough however, as his body can't catch up to his reflexes.
A skill issue you could say.
"But what should I do? Be a Buddha? I am gonna learn from one after all." If that's the case, then isn't he going to kill gods and ascend to heaven by defying fate?
Seriously, what a Xianxia plot, minus the plot armor and young masters
Imagine going through that life. He can't relate.
Cao Cao chuckled but froze midway. Wait, he has a god killing weapon, aimed to be a Buddha and he's Chinese….
"You have got to be kidding me…" The True Longinus user facepalmed, cursing the cliche setup that happened to him.
He's not gonna meet Indra doesn't he?
Cao Cao groaned, he doesn't want to meet Sakra now, from what he remembers, the God of Heaven can read minds. He's not sure if he'll be able to read his mind as a transmigrator but it's better safe than sorry.
Looking at the stars, the Hero Descendant sighed and decided to continue thinking about this later. For now, just relax.
