Chapter 1196: This secret technique really is all Slow-Witted Song’s doing

Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu

The green sea turtle had finally come!

When the Great Northern Emperor had left, he said that he was going to send the sea turtle to help Song Shuhang search for the last medicinal ingredient of the Ice Soul Pill and also help him to refine it.

And now, the green sea turtle had locked onto Song Shuhang’s position, and hurriedly traveled through space.

It was just that the timing was quite off.

When the turtle came out, the first thing he saw was Song Shuhang descending from the sky and reciting shameful lines.

The green sea turtle asked, “Heavens, little friend Song, what are you doing?”

Song Shuhang: “...”

So embarrassing...

I have to silence him. This time, I really need to kill and silence this damn turtle.

It seemed like Song Shuhang forgot about a very important thing.

What if the target he wanted to silence was much stronger than him? Would he actually be able to do anything?

According to the words of the Great Northern Emperor, the strength of this sky-looking turtle was probably around the Ninth Stage Realm. It was an old turtle that had been alive ever since the era of the ancient Heavenly City.

However, before the Great Northern Emperor left, he said that in order to prevent the sky-looking turtle from getting caught in the turbulence during the ‘change in the heavens’, he would seal the realm of this sea turtle.

So...

Song Shuhang’s eyes were fixed on the big turtle.

How do I make good turtle soup? Immortal Fairy Bie Xue’s immortal cave isn’t too far away. Immortal Fairy definitely has a hundred ways to cook turtles, right?

The sky-looking turtle, who was still inside the spatial gate, said, “Little friend Song, I can sense strong malice coming from your eyes. Stop looking at me, look at my back instead. If you look at me again, I’ll run away.”

Song Shuhang said, “Actually, I was thinking about something.”

The sea turtle inquired, “What was it?”

Song Shuhang seriously said, “I was thinking of how I should turn a good ingredient into a nutritious meal. Not far from here is Immortal Fairy Bie Xue’s immortal cave. She is a top immortal chef, so she should know quite a bit about these things.”

The sea turtle said, “Heavens, little friend Song, the ingredient you mentioned couldn’t be me, right? Little friend Song, I know that you can’t possibly be this cruel, are you a fake?”

“Cough!” Song Shuhang calmly climbed up from the ground and patted his clothes. “Senior Turtle, you might not believe this, but actually, I was practicing a secret technique just now.”

The sky-looking turtle seriously said, “I believe you.”

Song Shuhang said, “It’s normal that you don’t believe me. After all, such a weird secret technique would be difficult to find... Eh? Senior, you believe me?”

The green sea turtle proudly said, “Of course I believe you, and I also know that the move you did just now should be the Fiercely Kneeling on the Ground and Surrendering Technique of the [500 Ways to Surrender to a Human Cultivator You’re Unable to Defeat].”

“F*ck.” Song Shuhang was dumbfounded. He quickly asked, “Senior Turtle, are you also a member of the ‘All the Monsters of the World Should Unite and Become a Family’ organization?”

“Not really, how could I possibly join such a silly monster alliance?” The green sea turtle laughed.

Song Shuhang: “...” That silly monster alliance is actually despised by Senior Turtle?

While looking at Song Shuhang, the green sea turtle laughed, and said, “Especially the secret techniques of that alliance—❮200 Must-have Skills for a Monster Spirit to Survive❯—is simply too ridiculous and shameful. This old tortoise already feels ashamed just from watching others practice the secret techniques. It makes me want to retract my head back into my turtle shell. In fact, I think that those who can bear to practice these secret techniques are truly superb.”

Song Shuhang: “...”

He was actually being looked down on by some old turtle; it even seemed like his IQ was being questioned.

The sea turtle curiously asked, “To be honest, little friend Song, you are a pure human being. You don’t have any monster bloodline in you, so why would you even practice that stupid and shameful secret technique?”

It wondered if Song Shuhang had been fooled by someone.

“Can I choose not to answer this question?” Song Shuhang raised his head to look at the sky, feeling very tired.

The sea turtle said, “Haha, you definitely got fooled then? However, I think that with little friend Song’s IQ, you should have been able to see through the essence of this silly cultivation technique right away, and after that simply refuse to practice it.”

Song Shuhang sighed, and said, “It’s hard to explain everything in just a few words.”

When he learned about this secret technique through Lady Onion’s memories, he had actually refused to practice the secret technique.

However, he did not expect that after doing a set of it, he would actually begin to try learning the weird secret techniques seriously.

After letting out a sigh, a question came up in Song Shuhang’s mind, so he asked, “By the way, Senior Turtle, since you did not join that monster organization, how did you come to know of its name and its secret techniques?”

The ❮200 Must-have Skills for a Monster Spirit to Survive❯ was a secret technique that was highly regarded by the monster cultivator organization, and beginners would even have to pass an assessment to become full members before being able to learn this secret technique.

Since Senior Turtle did not join this alliance, how could he have come to know of its secret techniques?

The sea turtle laughed, and said, “It’s because of Slow-Witted Song... After the ancient Heavenly City was destroyed, Slow-Witted Song was the fastest one to escape for his life and he luckily survived.

“After that, one day, ‘Sword Immortal White Bone’ of the ancient Heavenly City brought him to my place. At that time, he invited me to join that silly [All the Monsters of the World Should Unite and Become a Family] organization.

“It appeared that the organization was created by Fairy White Bone. Slow-Witted Song had messed with her before; it should be when she showed her divinity, Slow-Witted Song sold her a script about hammer cultivation, and she was so angry that she hunted down Slow-Witted Song.

“Later, when the Heavenly City was already gone, Fairy White Bone brought together a few of her old friends and founded this monster cultivator alliance... Afterward, one day, as Slow-Witted Song was casually strolling around, he ended up getting caught by her. She imprisoned Slow-Witted Song and forced him to get 100 members to join the alliance. After that, Slow-Witted Song went to me together with her to try and rope me into the organization.

“However, I’m so smart, so how could I possibly join this alliance that sounds so silly? As such, I refused without hesitation. However, before Slow-Witted Song left, he had given me their so-called secret techniques, the ❮200 Must-have Skills for a Monster Spirit to Survive❯.

“Looking back at it now, I was really so smart not to have been fooled by that Slow-Witted Song to join that silly organization.”

Song Shuhang: “...”

This organization was not founded by Slow-Witted Song?

Could I have made a mistake?

Were my speculations really wrong from the beginning?

Wait a minute... Even if the alliance might not have been founded by Slow-Witted Song, it’s still possible that he wrote the secret techniques.

Song Shuhang asked, “Senior Turtle, do you know who wrote the secret techniques? Was it Fairy White Bone or Slow-Witted Song?”

The old turtle thought, and said, “I never asked about that, but... For such a low-effort title, I can’t think of anyone other than Slow-Witted Song who would name something like that. Therefore, at least when it comes to the title of this secret technique, it was definitely Slow-Witted Song’s doing. It’s quite possible that Slow-Witted Song also participated in the compilation of this secret technique. I’m saying that because there is a lot of content within it which carries a strong feeling of Slow-Witted Song’s style.”

Song Shuhang asked, “Senior Turtle, do you still have the exact copy of the secret technique that Slow-Witted Song had given you?”

The old turtle laughed, and said, “You still haven’t given up?”

Song Shuhang seriously said, “To be honest, I suspect that Slow-Witted Song hid an inheritance in this silly secret technique.”

The green sea turtle went silent for a moment, and then it laughed loudly while tears came falling out. “That’s the funniest joke I have ever heard.”

Song Shuhang: “...”

Alas, how good would it be if it was as easy to make Senior White Two laugh as this turtle?

The green sea turtle managed to stop laughing. It then looked at Song Shuhang, and said, “Are you serious?”

Song Shuhang said, “Mm-hm, I got some clues on hand, and all of these clues are pointing towards this silly secret technique.”

The green sea turtle said, “Alright... the secret technique’s right here with me, I can lend it to you for you to research if you want. However, in exchange, tell me if you find something in it. I’m also quite curious about if Slow-Witted Song really hid something in it.”

Song Shuhang nodded, and said, “No problem.”

The green sea turtle climbed out of the spatial gate, then it reached into the air, and pulled out an old book, which it handed to Song Shuhang.

It was a really thick book.

Its shape was the exact same as that of the book that Song Shuhang got from that elder of the “All the Monsters of the World Should Unite and Become a Family” organization when he lived Lady Onion’s life.

The two books seemed to have been made from the same mold.

Song Shuhang caught the book and flipped it open.

As he recalled, it exhaustively recorded the 200 abilities of the monsters.

The green sea turtle said, “By the way, if you really want to study this book, perhaps I can offer you some advice.”

Song Shuhang said, “Senior Turtle, please tell me.”

The green sea turtle smiled with narrowed eyes, and said, “Honestly, as a pure human being, even if you were to practice this secret technique for 10 years, it would not have an effect. There’s a lot of stuff in this book that only the monster cultivators would be able to practice and use. For example, the ‘Ultimate Seducing Skill of a Pretty Female Monster’ is actually a type of ‘enchanting technique’ which requires monster power to be used. You don’t have any monster power, so you simply won’t achieve anything.”

Song Shuhang responded, “Right!”

What the turtle had said seemed to have helped Song Shuhang realize something.

When he possessed Little Cai’s body, he was using Little Cai’s body to circulate the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique❯, which was when it naturally resonated with the weird secret techniques.

Little Cai was a monster!

“Maybe that’s the answer!” Song Shuhang’s eyes lit up.

“Did you think of something?” the green sea turtle asked.

“Yeah, I’ve thought of a possible answer, but I still have to try it out.” Song Shuhang took out his cell phone and made a call.

The call quickly connected, and a half-awake voice could be heard from it. “It’s already so late at night, what do you want?”

Song Shuhang said, “Senior Phoenix Slayer, where are you now? I want to borrow your CPU.”

Young Master Phoenix Slayer gritted his teeth, and said, “You woke me up in the middle of the night for this? Let me just travel around for a while. Just remind me the next time we meet.”

Song Shuhang laughed, and said, “I have dried fish—an Eighth Stage-level dried fish. Well, it’s actually a whale. How about it?”

Young Master Phoenix Slayer replied, “Meow, meow...”

Song Shuhang asked, “When are you coming?”

Young Master Phoenix Slayer replied, “After dawn, I’ll look for you. Where are you?”
