Chapter 59 The Golden-Bodied Arhat Sha Wujing!
"King Golden Horn!"
That's right, Su Fan chose to keep the Golden Horn King.
King Golden Horn himself wasn't particularly strong, but his divine artifact was amazing!
Let's not even mention the purple-gold gourd that can suck people in and turn them into pus just by saying "I call your name and you answer me".
King Golden Horn also possesses two other heaven-defying divine artifacts...
The first magical artifact is the Golden Rope!
Using the Golden Rope requires both a tightening spell and a loosening spell!
The Golden Rope can automatically bind enemies, then tighten it by chanting a spell. Moreover, the Golden Rope cannot be extinguished by fire or cut by a knife, making it extremely troublesome!
The second magical artifact is the banana leaf fan!
The banana leaf fan in the hands of King Golden Horn and Princess Iron Fan have different uses.
The Golden Horn King's banana leaf fan can ignite flames with a single wave, while Princess Iron Fan's banana leaf fan extinguishes flames with a single wave.
With the blessing of three divine artifacts, even if the Golden Horn King's own strength is not great, he can still be regarded as the best candidate between the two gods!
The moment Su Fan made his choice, the statues of the Tortoise and Snake Generals were swallowed by the Summoning Gate, leaving only the statue of the Golden Horn King.
"Holy crap! Did Su Fan choose that ugly monster as his permanent god?"
"It's alright! It's better than keeping that turtle coiled up by a snake!"
"That's right, none of the demon gods are powerful! Oh... except for the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong!"
"This time, the streamer finally made the right choice!"
The people of China were unanimously satisfied with Su Fan's choice this time.
On the other hand, Ryosuke Fujiwara also fixed the gods he had chosen.
The light screen disappeared, and Fujiwara Ryosuke looked at Su Fan with great provocation, clearly full of confidence.
"Su Fan, just admit defeat! After the second round, I won't give you any more chances!"
Su Fan guessed that Fujiwara Ryosuke must have fixed a very powerful god in his possession, which gave him the confidence to challenge him.
But no matter how powerful you are as a god, if I call your name, would you dare to answer?
Therefore, Su Fan simply faced the situation calmly.
[Both sides have chosen their preferred deities. The second round of the match has officially begun. Please enter the summoning gate and select your chosen deity to awaken.]
Hearing the announcement from the Mythical Arena's mechanical system, Su Fan was the first to walk in.
Su Fan was determined to respond to Fujiwara Ryosuke's taunts with action.
Upon entering the Summoning Gate, the statues of the gods have been refreshed. Except for the statue of the Golden Horn King, which remains, the other two statues of the gods have been refreshed.
Upon seeing one of the statues of a deity, Su Fan blinked in disbelief.
"This is……"
"The Golden-Bodied Arhat Sha Wujing!"
"Holy crap!"
Su Fan couldn't help but swear.
The Sha Wujing of this period was the Sha Wujing who was granted the title after obtaining the true scriptures, not the Sha Wujing who carried Tang Sanzang's luggage without complaint.
The Golden-bodied Arhat, whose full name is "Namo Eight Treasures Golden-bodied Arhat Bodhisattva," is a Bodhisattva-level attainment, unlike ordinary Arhats, and possesses considerable combat power.
With such a player present, the chances of winning the second game will be greatly increased.
Su Fan had originally thought that if there wasn't a suitable one, he would awaken the Golden Horn King and gamble that the Sakura Kingdom's god would agree when the Golden Horn King called upon him.
But now it's no longer necessary. With the golden-bodied Arhat Sha Wujing, everything is no longer a problem.
Suppressing his excitement, Su Fan bowed deeply to the statue of Sha Wujing.
Then, he spoke loudly:
"The crystal goblet shatters, and the immortal bones are banished to the mortal realm!"
As the first sentence was uttered, Sha Wujing's divine statue emitted a mournful hum.
At the same time, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and all the Chinese people could faintly hear the joyful sounds of singing and dancing in the celestial court, with wine cups clinking in the air.
Then came a loud "bang!" as the glass shattered, followed by cries of anguish and resentment.
All Chinese people felt that grief.
"A flying sword pierces the heart, quicksand traps the sinful body!"
As soon as the second sentence was spoken, a river of quicksand formed beneath the statue of Sha Wujing. The sand in the river churned and nine skulls emerged from the river, swirling around Sha Wujing.
The Chinese people were horrified when they saw this.
"Is this some kind of evil god? Nine skulls—that's nine lives!"
"I seriously suspect that some benevolent deity strung nine skulls together into a collar and wore it around their neck!"
"If you can't speak properly, then shut up! It absolutely can't be an evil god! If we awaken an evil god and are betrayed, we're doomed!"
"..."
Su Fan was unaware of what the Chinese people were thinking at that moment, and he continued chanting the incantation.
"The Bodhisattva has revealed that past karma will eventually come to an end!"
"Nine skulls transform into pearls, the demon-subduing staff is raised!"
"Lord of the Flowing Sand River, former general of the Curtain-Rolling Army!"
"Junior Su Fan respectfully welcomes the Golden Arhat..."
Su Fan paused for a moment, then suddenly raised his voice.
"Sha Wujing!!!"
As soon as the sound fell, the statue of Sha Wujing suddenly burst forth with a golden Buddhist light, and all the previous illusions disappeared.
When the golden light faded, all that could be seen was a monk dressed entirely in gold, wearing a kasaya, holding a demon-subduing staff in his hand, and wearing dark gold prayer beads made of nine skulls around his neck.
The golden-bodied Arhat Sha Wujing slowly opened his closed eyes and bowed to Su Fan.
"Benefactor, did you awaken me? What is it?"
Su Fan also bowed.
"Junior Su Fan greets the Golden-Bodied Arhat Sha Wujing!"
"I have awakened you because our Chinese Empire and the Sakura Empire are engaged in a mythical arena war, and we need your help!"
The golden-bodied Arhat shook his head after hearing this.
"I have adopted Buddhist robes and will no longer kill! Perhaps you could go find my senior brother!"
Su Fan was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.
This was the first god to reject him.
However, Su Fan was not discouraged; he was confident he could persuade Sha Wujing.
"Golden Arhat, the gods you are fighting on this mythical arena are just an illusion, not their true forms."
"Even if you kill them, you are only shattering their phantom images left in the statues of gods; it will not harm their true forms. This does not count as killing."
Su Fan spoke sincerely to Sha Wujing.
Upon hearing this, Sha Wujing hesitated. He actually wanted to help the Chinese Empire fight, but he couldn't violate the rules of Buddhism...
Seeing that Sha Wujing was still hesitating, Su Fan decided to unleash his ultimate move.
With a wave of his right hand, a golden cudgel appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Then, he took a step forward, and a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, a chainmail golden armor, and lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes appeared one after another, adorning his body.
Behind him, the divine phantom image of Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, appeared simultaneously.
Sha Wujing was stunned for a moment, and for a moment he thought he saw Sun Wukong.
He couldn't help but call out, "Senior Brother!"
Then, he came to his senses and felt somewhat embarrassed.
"Has Senior Brother made a contract with you?"
Sha Wujing asked, and Su Fan nodded.
"The Golden Arhat, can he now help China in battle?"
Sha Wujing agreed almost without hesitation this time.
Regardless of whether it involves killing or not, He only knows that He must support those whom His senior brother supports!
What's the big deal if I give up this golden Arhat status?
