Chapter 153: Before Entering
Before heading to the Gourt World, Kenji went to find Zongeh.
"Hahaha! You’ve got good taste, kid! This great man will go with you to that so-called Gourt World!"
The zombie Zongeh roared with laughter. After a little praise, he completely lost his head, while one of his underlings played along, hyping up his boss’s greatness.
"Sigh..." The other, more clear-headed underling looked at the two of them, who were about to float off to the heavens, and let out a helpless sigh.
Do you guys really not know what the Gourt World is? It’s a hell that eats people without spitting out the bones. Of all the people who go in, you’d be lucky if even one in ten cos out alive. Don’t you have any self-awareness about your own strength?
But then again... Lord Zongeh’s luck was indeed ridiculously good. He had been to many dangerous environnts and had always managed to turn peril into safety in the end. Perhaps the Gourt World wouldn’t be a problem either.
Kenji’s inner thought: It’s definitely not a problem. He’ll even make it to the final circle.
The final "kiss" part would be left to Zongeh. The Ape King Bambina would be 100% willing. This was just recreating a plot point from the manga ahead of schedule.
Mount lk.
lk the Second was grinding a commissioned kitchen knife. The First stood by and watched, offering no guidance. The Second’s grinding skills had long since surpassed his own; even he was in awe of the process.
"Kenji, Atashino, long ti no see," the First nodded. He now wore an Amplifier Stone around his neck at all tis. This was the Second’s requirent. She really couldn’t stand her master’s voice, which was quieter than a mosquito’s buzz; you couldn’t hear it even if you pressed your ear right up to him.
"Second, co with us to the Gourt World later," Kenji said, getting straight to the point. There would be a need for her grinding skills later on.
"?"
The Second stopped her work and wiped the sweat from her brow with a towel. Her ager combat power would be at the bottom of the food chain in the Gourt World.
"We’ll need you to grind the Golden Cookware," Kenji explained.
"I rember those are the utensils needed to cook the fish course, Another, right?" the First said. He had heard of them. Cooking Another required a vast amount of ti. Ordinary utensils couldn’t withstand the long-term wear and tear, and not just any utensil could be brought into the Soul World. Only the Golden Cookware could last until the cooking of Another was complete.
"If it’s grinding, then I have no problem," the Second nodded lightly. This was her area of expertise.
"I can help too," the First added. As a staff mber of Biotope 0, he could also enter the Gourt World.
"Second, you shouldn’t have a problem entering the Gourt World, right?" Kenji asked.
"Haha, don’t worry. I’ve been to the Gourt World with my master before to look for materials for knives," the Second smiled. She wasn’t a stranger to the Gourt World. Although her combat power wasn’t high, she wouldn’t run into trouble the mont she set foot in it.
In Ichiryu’s garden.
"There’s been no news of Midora recently. He’s probably been sealed," Ichiryu said helplessly.
"If Joie used Lady Froese’s face, he could indeed find an opportunity to seal Midora." Jiro wasn’t too shocked. Joie was no match for Midora, so he naturally wouldn’t fight him one-on-one. Sealing him while he was caught off guard was the easiest solution. But to permanently seal Midora... that was impossible.
For the past two years, Midora had been searching the world for Joie. Ichiryu had to handle IGO matters, and Jiro was waiting for Joie to pop out on his own and didn’t waste ti looking. With only Midora by himself, the probability of an accident was high. Although the relationship between the three brothers had eased sowhat, Midora didn’t want them to follow him. He didn’t need their help with Joie’s matter.
"Ichi-kun, do you have any clues about Master Acacia’s whereabouts?" Jiro asked. He had been to the Gourt World but hadn’t sensed any powerful aura, which ant Acacia was hiding himself well.
"No. Not unless Master Acacia starts to make a move himself," Ichiryu shook his head.
"The younger generation is also preparing to enter the Gourt World. The two of us should go find Joie, and check on Midora’s whereabouts at the sa ti," Ichiryu said, standing up. He radiated a calm and invincible aura. He was in great shape now. For the past two years, Kenji had continuously brought back many high-energy ingredients, and he had recharged a lot. While not at his peak, it should be enough.
"That’s a good idea. But, Ichi-kun, are you going to use your Gourt Cell Demon’s power this ti?" Jiro still hadn’t seen Ichiryu use Don Sli’s power.
"We’ll see how it goes." Ichiryu smiled. Don Sli’s power was too strong.
At the intersection of the Human World and the Gourt World, four people entered the Human World.
"Hisashiburi! How’s life in the Gourt World?"
The Four Heavenly Kings had stepped into the Human World at almost the sa ti. Toriko smiled and waved. The two-year agreent... the ti was now up. They hadn’t gone deep into the Gourt World, but had been adapting in suitable environnts, familiarizing themselves with the attack patterns of Gourt World beasts. Their auras, however, had grown stronger by more than just a little.
"Don’t ntion it. I ran into a lot of disgusting creatures," Sunny said with an annoyed expression. Slimy toads, ferocious-looking spiders, slugs with a large number of eyeballs... Blegh! Compared to the Human World, the creatures of the Gourt World were much more unsightly. What kind of bullshit matchmaking was this? He had lost count of how many he had encountered.
"The poisons of the Gourt World are indeed more diverse and potent," Coco said with a smile. The poison in his body had also evolved to beco stronger.
"Hmph. So-so. The place I went to could barely adapt to ," Zebra scoffed. It was never him who had to adapt to the environnt, but the environnt that had to adapt to him.
"If we face the Eight Kings now, we should be able to put up a fight, right?" Toriko asked, clenching his fists. With two years of growth and unlocking the left arm of his Gourt Demon, he was a completely different person now.
"You’re still far off, kids."
Ichiryu had co to greet them personally. Seeing the change in their auras, a gratified smile appeared on his face.
"Old man, we’ve beco very strong now. We should be able to go a round with the Eight Kings, right?" Toriko had never seen an Eight King, so he was still confident.
If Kenji were here, he would definitely be laughing. The current strength of Toriko and the others was not much different from in the manga after they had captured the salad, AIR. Against the Ape King, they wouldn’t even be able to last a second. Bambina could send Acacia flying with a single punch; his combat power was explosive, and he had mastered the highest realm of Ape Dance.
"Hehe, you’ll know when you see the Eight Kings," Ichiryu smiled. His words were useless. If they didn’t take a few elbow strikes from the Eight Kings, Toriko wouldn’t realize how big the gap was.
Coco rubbed his chin. He didn’t underestimate the Eight Kings. Before facing them, he had to make so preparations, just in case.
Ichiryu noticed this and smiled helplessly. Among the Four Heavenly Kings, the only one he was relatively at ease with was Coco. Without him, Toriko and the others would get into trouble sooner or later.
"Alright. Rest for a few days, and then you can go and capture Acacia’s Full Course nu."
Toriko and the others nodded. For the past two years in the Gourt World, they had to remain highly concentrated even when resting. Both the ever-changing environnt and the ferocious beasts were not to be underestimated. They were no longer rookies just starting out.
