Chapter 486: Shark in a Fishtank
As he went through the hole, Fang Lin expected that his fall was going to be a thunderous one, given the extreme depth of the hole that he just went through.
But to Fang Lin surprise, he suddenly saw a claw-like hand reaching out from the depths of the hole, clutching on Fang Lin, which prevented his fall.
This hand then descended towards the bottom of the hole quickly, bringing the hapless Fang Lin with it.
“It’s great that a hand personally received me. I almost thought of having to use my abilities here just to cushion my fall…” Fang Lin thought to himself as he observed the hand that was grasping him.
“This hand… it looks humanoid, but also something monstrous. It was as if it was a combination of the two…” Fang Lin muttered as he tried budging out of the hand.
To Fang Lin’s no surprise, he found out that the gripping force of the hand was too great even for Fang Lin resist against.
After a few more minutes of non-stop descent, Fang Lin and the hand finally reached the bottom of the hole.
“This place… does not really look like a prison…” Fang Lin muttered to himself as he started to look around him.
To his surprise, he did not see any cells or isolated rooms here at the bottom of the hole.
Instead, what Fang Lin saw was an enormous chamber, which housed everything inside it.
Fang Lin could see numerous people milling around, minding their own businesses.
The appearance of the hand caught the attention of these people, with their faces twisting into rage as they started to rush towards the hand.
“You f**king c**t! I will beat you up now!” One of them shouted as he started to punch the hand.
The others started to attack the hand too, with their faces showing the extreme anger that they are feeling right now.
Fang Lin, who saw what was happening, could not help but scratch his head in confusion. What made it worse was the fact that these people had ignored Fang Lin entirely.
“Huumm…” No matter what the people around Fang Lin did, they were unable to damage the hand at all. They could only stare at the hand with red eyes as it went up at the entrance of the hole.
It was only when the hole was gone that they noticed Fang Lin’s presence.
“Oh, so what do we have here. A new prisoner! Hahaha! Brat, welcome to the Azure Tooth Prison!” One of the prisoners, who looked like a balding old man, guffawed as he started to approach Fang Lin.
“Umm.. this is the prison? All of this around us?” Fang Lin asked with trepidation as he looked around him. “Doesn’t look like a prison to me…”
“You brat, you dare to act all that mighty when you just arrived here? It seems like you need some disciplining!” The balding old man suddenly changed his tone as he seemed to be unimpressed with Fang Lin’s question. “It seems like you have to experience the pain of being a prisoner in here!”
The balding old man then rushed towards Fang Lin, with his body stance indicating that he is going to attack.
When Fang Lin saw this, he could not help but get taken aback as he thought to himself,
“Shouldn’t the prisoners of the Azure Tooth Prison all be Azure Dragon Clan Members? If that was the case, then why is this old man not using his Azure Dragon Divine Spirit?”
Fang Lin then remembered the scene earlier, where almost all of the prisoners attacked the hand without them using their Divine Spirits.
Upon seeing these things, Fang Lin was able to reach one conclusion.
“Maybe the power of the Azure Dragon Divine Spirit is suppressed at this place?” In order to confirm this, Fang Lin probed the Azure Dragon inside him, and he saw that its currently compressed like a ball.
It was as if there was a very powerful external pressure that was forcing the Azure Dragon Divine Spirit of Fang Lin to be compressed like this.
“Hmm… so this just means that the Azure Tooth Prison can somehow prevent the abilities of the Azure Dragon Clan Members from manifesting! So that is why none of these guys were able to escape!”
If it was the original Xiao Chen, then he will be already been beaten up greatly in the Azure Tooth Prison.
But with Fang Lin currently in his body, the balding old man that was about to fight him will get his rightful punishment!
Even if the Azure Dragon Divine Sprit was suppressed at this place, Fang Lin found out to his delight that his Nascent Souls and his Cores were unaffected, meaning that Fang Lin can still use their abilities right now.
“Hehehe old man, too bad for you, this place had no hold against me!” Fang Lin laughed as he let out a punch towards the balding old man.
Fang Lin secretly laced this punch with the Mountain-Bashing Boar Essence, making its striking power extremely high.
“Aieee…” The balding old man, who felt extremely confident on beating Fang Lin up, could not help but let out an anguished cry as he was catapulted away by Fang Lin’s punch.
It was only after five seconds have passed by that the balding old man landed on the ground.
The balding old man’s arms were twisted in an unnatural way, as if they were forced to be in that way.
All the prisoners who saw what had just happened could not help but take a step back away from Fang Lin.
Their looks changed from wolves wanting to partake in the meal into lambs that are about to get slaughtered.
With the suppression of this prison having no effect in him, Fang Lin realized that he can already proceed on his plan.
“You guys… You all looked like you want to fight me earlier…” Fang Lin said as he cracked his knuckles.
“Well I, Xiao Chen, will not be that shameless enough to not fight! So here I go then!”
Fang Lin then rushed towards the prisoners, who all did their best to get away from Fang Lin.
Too bad for them that they have no way to run away from Fang Lin. After all, they are all in the prison.
A prison was built with an intention of not letting anyone inside it get away. And now, Fang Lin was fully enjoying this quality as he methodically ‘disciplined’ all the prisoners in the Azure Tooth Prison.
****************
“Ah, that was refreshing…” Fang Lin muttered to himself as he wiped off some imaginary sweat from his forehead.
He then looked around the wide chamber, and what he saw made him smile in delight.
“All the 2,351 prisoners here in the Azure Tooth Prison have experienced my fists huh. Hehehe, now, no one will dare fighting me in here!”
Because Fang Lin was extremely irritated with him being brought in a place like this, he decided to just vent his rage on the poor prisoners that are staying with him.
Fang Lin sees nothing wrong with this, as these prisoners have wanted to deal with Fang Lin in the first place.
Fang Lin just decided to be hospitable as he answered their requests.
“Tremble…”
All the prisoners were currently kneeling in front of Fang Lin right now, as if Fang Lin is now their new leader.
How could they not worship him?
Fang Lin was able to beat up all of them just by himself, and this all happened in just 30 minutes! Doing something that impressive here inside the prison is something to be praised at!
“You.” Fang Lin then started to assume an imposing Young Master pose as he looked at the balding old man earlier. “What the hell is your name?”
Because of what Fang Lin did earlier, the whole right arm of the balding old man was currently covered with thick bandages, as his punch broke some of the bones of the balding old man’s right arm.
“It’s Xiao Long, young Master…” Xiao Long quietly said, as he entirely abandoned his fiery persona earlier.
“Well then Xiao Long, can you tell me everything about the Azure Tooth Prison? If you dare lie to me, then you should know that it will be your left arm next…” Fang Lin declared pompously as he gave Xiao Long a withering look.
“!!!!!!!” After hearing these words, Xiao Long started to panic as he immediately launched a ten-minute long extemporaneous speech about the Azure Tooth Prison.
“Oh, so that is how it is…” Fang Lin muttered to himself as Xiao Long finished talking. “Ok Xiao Long, you can continue on kneeling now.”
“Yes!” Xiao Long let out a sigh of relief as he realized that he is currently safe from Fang Lin’s wrathful fists. Xiao Long immediately resumed kneeling, as he did not dare to do anything that might offend Fang Lin right now.
Fang Lin then looked around him, taking note of the white wall that was surrounding the large chamber.
According to Xiao Long, when the First Azure Dragon had battle against the despicable Immortal Patriarch from the Eastern Continent, a tooth of the Azure Dragon flew off, with it puncturing the ground.
It was only 10,000 years after that battle that the descendants of the Azure Dragon, the Azure Dragon Clan had found the tooth still plunged on the ground.
Since this tooth came from the First Azure Dragon, it had extremely powerful suppressive properties towards the Azure Dragon Clan members.
With that property of that tooth, the Elders of the Azure Dragon Clan had decided to use this place as their prison.
They dug the whole tooth out, and then they started to take off some parts of the tooth.
Most of the tooth were kept hidden in a secret location, while the parts that were taken from it were used to create a chamber at the bottom of the hole which will hold all of the prisoners.
Since this chamber was made up of the components of the Azure Dragon Tooth, it was able to suppress the Azure Dragon Divine Spirits of all the prisoners that gets stuck here.
This property alone ensured that all the Azure Dragon Clan members that are left in the Azure Tooth Prison will be unable to escape, with all their powers being tightly suppressed.
As for the hand that brought Fang Lin down earlier, that was actually the right hand of a Roc, which was obtained by one of the Elders of the Azure Dragon Clan.
Not wanting to waste this hand, the higher-ups of the clan has decided to refine this hand and use it as the guard of the Azure Tooth Prison.
With that hand guarding the prison, only those at the Sixth and Seventh Boundary can dare to storm the prison.
And that hand was also blocking any desperate escape attempts by the poor prisoners. No wonder all the prisoners were pissed seeing that hand earlier.
After digesting all of this information, Fang Lin stood up as he gazed coolly at the kneeling prisoners in front of him.
“Hmm, now that I have the control of all the prisoners, it will be time for me to start the next part of my plan…” Fang Lin then licked his lips as he muttered,
“Everyone, how about we go outside for some fresh air?”
