Worlds’ Apocalypse Online-Chapter 1667: Gift from the Song and Dance Troupe leader

『 Without a doubt, you must be the heir to the Sacrificial Dance 』

An alluring woman in a skintight suit of black leather clothing and a whip in her hand commented.

When she spoke, all the other spirits kept their mouths shut.

"I have certainly practiced this Dance, it was because of this that I became attracted to your Song and Dance Troupe, and why I'm standing here right now" Gu Qing Shan replied.

The woman nodded, then smiled: 『 Was it miss Cai Zang who gave you the invitation? 』

Gu Qing Shan took out his invitation.

The woman looked at it, then doubtfully asked: 『 In reality, we've been expecting you this entire time------- but how did you enter without anyone's knowledge? And you were using a tourist coin as well! 』

Numerous regretful sighs were heard behind her.

All the spirits looked at Gu Qing Shan with an extremely regrettable look.

"A tourist coin? Is that a problem?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

『 According to the rules of affinity, as you entered our Song and Dance Troupe using a tourist coin, you can only sightsee without being able to communicate with us spirits in any meaningful manner, hah------ 』the woman also sighed.

Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

Does that mean I won't be able to learn anything here?

The woman saw the look on his face and felt even more regrettable, asking him further: 『 Your excellency, who exactly was it that gave you a tourist coin? 』

Gu Qing Shan showed his palms and replied: "The cow at the reception desk gave me that coin, saying that I can go in and try my luck"

The woman's smile instantly froze.

The whip in her hand instantly grew numerous sharp spikes and gave off a cold glow.

『 Take my whip and deal with that cow 』the woman coldly declared.

Two beautiful girls appeared behind her, received the whip, then began to head outside.

"Let me get a crack at it as well!"

「 Me too! 」

『 That damned cow's head isn't fitted on correctly, let me give it a thorough fix 』

「 Let's go! 」

Numerous spirits also called out and followed the two girls.

A few moments later, various desperate screams could be heard resounding from outside the door.

Gu Qing Shan sighed and asked: "Esteemed lady, are there really no remedies for this? I truly want to join the Song and Dance Troupe to learn some knowledge regarding spirits"

The woman shook her head: 『 There is no remedy for it this time around. We have no choice but to wait for you to visit again before you can join our Phase Realm 』

"Me? But I'm not a spirit, can I really join you?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

『 Indeed you can. As long as you sign a spirit contract with us, you'll be able to summon us in battle, and once you've become stronger in the future, you would even be able to summon the entire Troupe! 』the woman explained, then felt even more regrettable about this occasion.

-------to be able to fight alongside the heir of the Sacrificial Dance, any spirit would receive immeasurable benefits.

What a great opportunity that would have been!

How truly regretful…

The woman clenched her teeth and shouted to the spirits behind her: 『 All of you go as well, make sure to whip it thoroughly! 』

"Yes ma'am!"

Seeing how they couldn't do anything even if they remained here, those spirits swiftly made their way through.

The woman looked at Gu Qing Shan and said: 『 For this occasion, I can only do two things------- 』

She approached the dance machine and pressed a button on it.

A large line of text instantly popped up on the screen:

[100 points! A truly perfect Dance!]

The machine then began to transform and turn into a raffle box.

The woman patted the raffle box and explained: 『 Your excellency, the dance machine is nothing but a small game made for our tourists, even the prizes inside are only meant for fun 』

Gu Qing Shan was surprised: "Can't you win a Spirit Art from it?"

The woman chuckled: 『 It's nothing but a party trick, but since you've displayed the Sacrificial Dance to us, I must provide a reward appropriate to the Sacrificial Dance---- I will now exchange my very own personal Spirit Art for the original prize 』

She continued: 『 My Spirit Art is so aggressive that people wouldn't normally be able to resist it, so now it's just the appropriate time to grant it to you 』

Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist: "Thank you very much"

The woman smiled, then put her hand into the raffle box: 『 As this is my personal Spirit Art, there's a possibility that you won't be able to pull it by yourself, so I will pull it out for you------- 』

She then took out a small doll from the raffle box.

------the doll was highly realistic and looked exactly like her!

『 Take it, this is a representative doll of our Song and Dance Troupe. When you return, simply use Realm Force to envelope it and you'd be able to comprehend the unique Spirit Art it contains 』

The woman handed the doll to Gu Qing Shan.

As soon as the doll came into contact with Gu Qing Shan's hand, it instantly turned into his appearance.

The woman seemed to have noticed something and said with an irritated voice:

『 Oh no, the amount of time that a tourist can remain is nearly used up… 』

Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan silently made a gesture towards Laura.

Understanding what he means, Laura lightly leapt up and landed on Gu Qing Shan's shoulder.

At this point, the woman took off a watch from her wrist and helped Gu Qing Shan put it on.

『 This is a Phase Watch, it can tell you what kinds of Phase Realms are around you 』the woman explained.

Gu Qing Shan was grateful: "That is too precious, not only did your grace give me a Spirit Art, but you're also giving me this watch…"

The woman continued: 『 It has another function, that is if you and our Song and Dance Troupe is ever in the same main world of a world system, it will invite you directly into our Phase Realm 』

Gu Qing Shan instantly realized and asked: "Then I wouldn't be a tourist anymore, would I?"

『 Of course, this is the highest treatment, it isn't the method of entry for any tourist------ in reality, I had wanted to give this watch to you from the very beginning 』

As she said that, the woman suddenly paused.

She appeared regrettable once again and said: 『 Time should be up soon, so I hope to meet you again next time------- ah right, a small issue had appeared during this qualification competition, so a war is currently occurring in the main world. Please be careful after you return 』

"What happened?"

『 Originally, no one managed to be selected during this occasion------- but at the very last moment, an extremely powerful evil spirit had declared that if someone can eliminate all the other competitors, it would grant them the qualifications to enter the Dusty World and even arrive at the world system it belonged to 』

The woman didn't continue, but Gu Qing Shan already understood.

-------those competitors must have already pulled out all the stops to eradicate all the other competitors.

Gu Qing Shan bowed: 『 Thank you, your grace, I will keep that in mind, and I also hope to see you later 』

As soon as he said that------

Gu Qing Shan felt a flash of light enveloping him.

At the very next moment.

The light encased him inside, and flew through the roof of the Song and Dance Troupe building, heading directly to the ground.

…

The wasteland.

A secluded corner.

Gu Qing Shan appeared, followed by Laura.

"I still haven't played enough yet, it was all that cow's fault" Laura complained.

"Yeah" Gu Qing Shan also agreed.

"That's right, so why did it think that you were some random newcomer and not the heir of the Sacrificial Dance?" Laura asked curiously.

Gu Qing Shan thought about it for a bit and analyzed: "At the time, it looked behind me first------- it had probably learned that two people would show up together; since I also have a beefy scent on my body, it probably irritated the cow"

Laura pursed her lips: "Then there's no other way"

Suddenly, a loud explosion resounded from afar.

Fluctuations of battle erupted from every direction, causing immense pillars of light all over the ground.

The massacre had begun!

Gu Qing Shan and Laura were both silent for a while.

"Hey, Gu Qing Shan" Laura suddenly called out.

"Yes?"

"That Ironman was already very powerful, so why did he still want to enter the Dusty World?"

"…The Dusty World has the most powerful spirits"

"How do you know that?"

"Other than this place, I can't think of any other locations that would be able to gather so many world systems"

"Hah…" Laura sighed.

Gu Qing Shan looked down to examine the doll in his hand.

Lines of glowing text appeared from the void of space:

[You've obtained the Song and Dance Troupe of Sin's rare doll item]

[You will need to imbue it with 5 realm Points in order to activate the personal Spirit Art sealed within this doll]

[Would you like to imbue it?]

"Of course" Gu Qing Shan replied.

[Imbuing complete, remaining Realm Points: 93]

The doll suddenly sat up on Gu Qing Shan's hand, looked up at him, then vanished.

New lines of glowing text appeared:

[The Song and Dance Troupe leader has granted you permission to use her personal Spirit Art]

[Each time you use your personal Spirit Art, you will expend one Realm Point]

[You've obtained the unique Spirit Art: Manipulator of Song and Dance]

[This Spirit Art is equivalent to a high-level Divine Skill, and since it originated from a spirit, you must perform it once in order to fully comprehend this Spirit Art's innerworkings]

All the text then disappeared.

Laura suddenly pulled on Gu Qing Shan's sleeves.

"What's the matter?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"Someone is attacking the Ironman Vengeance Corps, should we interfere?" Laura asked.

Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight and scanned towards the Vengeance Corps' direction.

The entire camp had already been leveled.

Almost everyone was dead.

Only Liao Xiao Pao remained, struggling to endure the other party's attacks.

His opponent was a burly man with numerous visions circling around his body. He seemed to be capable of manifesting Phase Realms and absorbing Realm Force from them to attack.

-----that is quite a potent Realm Force.

Liao Xiao Pao was practically unable to retaliate at all, having no choice but to endure the barrage of attacks with his metal body.

"Ahaha, even if you pronounce me as wicked, even if you've become 200% stronger, you're still no match for me!"

The burly man laughed hysterically.

Gu Qing Shan pulled his inner sight back and mused:

"Let's go help him"
