Chapter 8

**************************************************************************************************************

Closing the workbook in front of him, Wang Dong raised his hand to rub his tired face and said painfully, "Damn, after looking at these problems, my first thought was, 'What the hell are these questions?' After carefully reading them, my real thought was, 'What the hell are these questions really asking?!"

Lying on the bed, eating chips, and leisurely watching a TV drama on her mobile computer, Aisibei said indifferently, "Don't worry about it. Once you truly become a Demon Hunter, you won't have much time to stay on Earth and study."

"Even if you say that, there's still half a year left," Wang Dong mumbled, then stood up and walked to the balcony, lazily stretching. "Xiao Ai, why aren't vampires afraid of crosses, holy water, sunlight, garlic, or silver?"

"Although I don't know where you saw these things..." Aisibei said a bit helplessly, "in many cases, the advantages of non-human species are stronger than those of humans. Even if they have some weaknesses, they can't be so obvious."

Wang Dong smiled awkwardly. As a former "literary youth" who frequented online literature, he had naturally read a lot of novels where authors wrote about the weaknesses of vampires. Now that he had become a vampire himself, he naturally wanted to verify them.

"Ah, it's only August 22nd, and there are still ten days before school starts. So boring," Wang Dong said, sitting in a chair and leaning back, looking bored.

"You can go out and play. Don't forget, those people gave you the highest authority, the Eighth King," Aisibei said with a hint of amusement, as she hadn't expected the situation on Earth to be like this.

"Don't mention it!" Wang Dong covered his face tragically. In front of Aisibei, a former high-level Demon Hunter, the title of "King" made him feel like he was about to collapse.

As for the origin of the Eighth King...

————————————————————————————————————

"Please allow me to ask, have you received the inheritance from that Four-Star Demon Hunter?" Yuxing of the Hun Tian Sect looked at him seriously, his voice filled with an anticipation he himself didn't realize.

Since learning that Wang Dong was involved in a battle between two Demon Hunters and had received an inheritance, the attitudes of the surrounding elders had become extremely cautious, and they now addressed him as "Sir."

Wang Dong, who was very uncomfortable with the title "Sir," twisted his body awkwardly and, following Aisibei's instructions, nodded and said, "Yes, I have received the inheritance from that Four-Star Demon Hunter!"

"Phew..." It seemed they were trying to calm their excited emotions. After a few seconds, Yuxing shouted, "What are you waiting for! Bring the items over quickly! This is the only chance!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" An elder in purple robes quickly stood up from his chair and hurriedly ran to the back.

Yuxing smiled a bit awkwardly and said to Wang Dong, "Sorry, I got a bit excited. Please cooperate with us for a test. After the test, we will tell you a serious fact."

"Okay," Wang Dong nodded and silently asked in his mind: [Xiao Ai, what's going on?]

[Don't worry, you'll know soon. If my guess is correct, this should be good news for you.] Aisibei's playful voice echoed in Wang Dong's mind.

Wang Dong's lips twitched, and he sat in the chair, feeling the power flowing within him. For a "normal person" who had just gained "non-normal" powers, this was like a brand new smartphone, full of playability.

A few minutes later, the elder in purple robes hurriedly brought a box and said, "Here, here."

The elder slowly opened the box in front of him, revealing a blue crystal, which he placed in front of Wang Dong, then looked at him expectantly.

"Uh... What... What are we doing?" Wang Dong looked at the others, confused, wondering why they were all looking at him so expectantly.

"Cough, cough, Sir, try to pick up this crystal," Yuxing said, looking at Wang Dong with the same anticipation as a fangirl seeing her idol smiling and walking toward her.

"..." Wang Dong shivered at Yuxing's expression, then reached out and grabbed the crystal.

A subtle energy flowed from the crystal, passing through Wang Dong's body and swirling inside him, then spreading through his limbs as if trying to fill every part of his body. In an instant, Wang Dong felt this subtle energy fill his entire body.

However, this only lasted a few seconds. The energy quickly calmed down and retreated back into the crystal in his hand.

Wang Dong frowned. Could this be some ancient treasure, like a jade that can mend the sky? And did I fail to activate it?

Shaking his head, Wang Dong smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, this thing..."

Before Wang Dong could finish, he noticed the surrounding elders breathing heavily, looking at him with no signs of abnormality. For a moment, Wang Dong felt like a naked beauty who had mistakenly entered a den of perverts.

"No, no, we... we..." Yuxing, looking at Wang Dong, who was still holding the crystal with no signs of abnormality, stepped back a few steps with the others and knelt down three meters away, saying in unison, "We congratulate the Eighth King!"

"..." Wang Dong was almost driven mad. He clutched his head and roared in his mind: [Am I crazy, or is the author in front of the computer crazy!? Is this kind of overpowered plot really okay!?]

[Hey, calm down. You'll understand once they explain it to you.] Aisibei's voice, suppressing her laughter, echoed in Wang Dong's ear, slightly calming him down.

"Can you please explain what's going on?" Wang Dong looked at the elders in front of him, on the verge of tears. Regardless of age, their status shouldn't have them kneeling to him, right?

"King, allow me to tell you a story," Yuxing said softly, his voice tinged with sadness.

"About thirty to forty years ago, several meteors fell around the world. Each meteor contained a crystal like this and a box."

"At first, we thought it was a message from aliens, but after unsuccessful research, we opened the box, which contained a... manual."

"It turns out, in this vast, boundless universe, there are countless beings with the power to destroy worlds. They formed a super mercenary organization, the Galactic Alliance, spanning thousands, millions, billions, trillions, and even more galaxies."

"The meteors that fell on Earth were the Galactic Alliance's 'invitation' to Earth, recognizing that after many years of development, Earth had reached the minimum standard to join the Galactic Alliance."

"However, unfortunately, traveling in the galaxy requires the ability to harmonize with this 'Azure' energy!"

Yuxing pointed to the crystal in Wang Dong's hand and said, "This is 'Azure.'"

"If you cannot harmonize with Azure, you will feel weak and feverish, like having a fever. Of course, you will recover after a few days if you leave the Azure."

"The method to determine if you can harmonize with Azure is simple. Just touch the crystal. If you cannot harmonize, you will feel weak and feverish, indicating that you lack the ability to become a Demon Hunter."

"In fact, since we obtained the crystals, we have had anyone with 'non-normal' abilities touch the Azure. Unfortunately, in the past thirty to forty years, no one in China has had the ability to become a Demon Hunter."

"However, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Canada, Denmark, and Sweden have all produced Demon Hunters."

Wang Dong was shocked. These seven countries had rapidly developed into the seven superpowers that controlled the world in the past few decades, while China's status had been declining.

Seeing Wang Dong's expression, Yuxing sighed and said, "Yes, with the help of Demon Hunters, these countries have brought back technology far beyond Earth's, leading to rapid development."

"And those seven Demon Hunters are, in essence, the uncrowned kings of Earth!"

"Today, China has also produced a king, the Eighth King!"

_(:3J<)_, the plot is definitely not set on Earth, and even if the protagonist becomes the king of Earth, what's the point?

It's like playing a game where the maximum level is 400, and you occupy a beginner village where the highest NPC level is 10. What's the point? Moreover, the resources in this beginner village are almost worthless in the game.

PS: The next chapter will provide a detailed explanation of the setting on Earth.
