When Meng Chao introduced himself, he did not use the transliteration of his real name in Turan.
Instead, he chose to translate the words "ferocious" and "super" in the Turan language.
But the Turan language he knew was something he could not grasp from his previous life, and it was fragmented and incomplete.
Besides, he had been eavesdropping on the conversations of the Red-eyed Rats over the past few days, and he learned it himself.
Hence, Meng Chao did not know that when a word was used in Turan, it had to be changed based on status, clan, and strength. It also had to add suffixes that represented it.
In Leaf's heart, the mysterious Meng Chao was already a peerless existence.
Hence, the teenager's eyes lit up based on the naming rules of the Turan people, and he blurted out, "So, you're the legendary Super Fierce Man?"
"…"
Meng Chao's face was as cold as a corpse's, and he could no longer hold it in. His eyelids twitched.
"Forget it," Meng Chao said.
Meng Chao said. "Just call me … Harvester!"
Leaf nodded and said considerately, "I understand. You're seriously injured now, so it's not suitable for you to use such a domineering name as' Super Macho '. It'll cause you trouble.' Reaper 'is not much stronger than' Grower 'and' Gatherer '. No one will snatch this name."
"What?"
Meng Chao was stunned. "Snatch my name? What do you mean? Can names be snatched?"
Leaf put on an expression that said, "You really did lose your memory." He nodded and said, "Of course. Everyone likes mighty and domineering names. It's very easy for people to snatch them!"
After the teenager's explanation, Meng Chao learned that the Turan people's naming habits were very unique.
When a child was born, the parents would just give him a random nickname.
Basically, they would name whatever they saw.
For example, the leaves and fruits of the Mandala Tree, the weeds on the ground, the clouds and birds in the sky, the mountains and rivers in the distance, and so on.
If the child was unlucky, it was normal for him to be called Dog Sh * t.
There might not be one hundred thousand people with a normal name like Leaf in all of Turan Lake, but there were at least eighty thousand of them!
As for the good names that showed off their bravery and might, such as Super Fierce Man, the Turan people believed that they were noble and sacred things. They had to wait for the child to grow up before they could snatch it with their own hands.
There were three ways to steal a name.
The first was to hunt down powerful Totem Beasts, or to attack the "Land Illuminated by the Holy Light Eternally" in the north and achieve great military merits.
If one slew a ferocious tiger, one would be called a "Tiger Fighter".
He was qualified to be called the "Dragon Catcher" after capturing a brutal flood dragon alive.
There were also titles such as "Piercer", "Troll Hunter", "City Breaker", "Holy Light Expeller", and so on.
The process of fighting for a name was also a rite of passage for the Turanians.
Only by gaining a great reputation could one be considered a true Turan Warrior.
Many of the rat people couldn't overcome this obstacle, and they were known as lowly people for the rest of their lives.
This was also an important reason why they were despised by the clan masters.
The second was to obtain a powerful totem that possessed a very special ability and could display symbolic skills.
Names such as "Lightning Controller", "Flame Devourer", and "Skeleton Dancer" all came from this.
The third method was simple and violent, which suited the taste of the Turanians.
— — If one found a good name, but felt that the opponent was too weak and didn't deserve such a domineering name, he would challenge the opponent.
As long as he could defeat or even kill the opponent, he would be able to steal the opponent's name and glory.
For example, Leaf didn't have a great name yet. If he was walking on the street of Black Corner City and heard someone called "Tiger Slayer" and thought it was a good name, he could challenge the opponent on the spot.
As long as he won, he would be called "Tiger Slayer", and the opponent could only be called "Leaf".
If he attacked too hard and accidentally killed the opponent, it would be even worse.
Not only could he steal the opponent's name, but he could also add the word "Kill" in front of it. From now on, he would be called "Tiger Slayer".
Of course, if he was accidentally killed by another Turan Warrior in two days, the opponent would also have the right to add the word "Kill" in front of his name, and he would be called "Tiger Slayer".
In the same way, there were also people called "Tiger Slayer", and they were very powerful. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to steal such a powerful name.
Hence, it was actually very easy to determine the strength of a Turan Warrior. All they needed to do was look at whether their names were domineering.
If their names were normal, they might not be weak.
But if their names were domineering, and they had not been killed for a long time, it meant that they were incredibly powerful and had killed all the people who wanted to steal their names.
"Uncle, since you had such an arrogant name, Super Fierce Man, you must be a very powerful person. Perhaps your injuries were caused by someone who coveted your name and ambushed you or even ganged up on you," Leaf said with admiration and envy.
"I believe that with your true strength, you're definitely worthy of the name Super Fierce Man, but for the time being, you should bear with it and keep a low profile.
"My mom and big brother taught me how to repay kindness. Uncle, you helped me obtain strength, so I'll definitely help you complete your mission so that you can soon use the name Super Fierce Man in a dignified manner!"
"I-I thank you," Meng Chao said.
"But can we not talk about Super Fierce Man anymore? If others hear us, we'll get into trouble. Reaper, remember, my name is' Reaper '!
"Now, go and cultivate!"
…
Then, the teenager focused in a corner and gradually entered a meditative state.
Meng Chao could not help but grunt. Cold sweat the size of beans broke out on his forehead.
His condition was not as good as it seemed on the surface and that victory was in his grasp.
Instead, it was so bad that it could not get any worse.
Even though it had been at least a month since his fight against Lu Siya.
He still could not break free from the fatal aftereffects of Ultimate Combustion.
Regardless of whether it was the six dragon meridians, the 108 main meridians, or the 1,024 branch meridians, all of them were like dry streams, earthworms exposed to the sun, burnt vines, and covered in cracks.
Besides, he might have escaped from the monster mastermind's clutches.
However, during the fierce battle against the undead creatures, a lot of Blood Flower spores and the strange algae that formed the green tide invaded his body.
This was similar to the relationship between viruses and the immune system.
Humans came into contact with countless bacteria and viruses every day.
As long as the immune system was functioning normally and had a strong resistance, most of the germs could be killed instantly.
If he were a five-star superhuman and at the peak of his condition, with just one thought, he could light up his spirit flames and burn all the invaders to ashes.
But now, it was very difficult for him to maintain his One-star Spirit Tattoo Realm for a long period of time, let alone a five-star Spirit Vision Realm.
The viruses, spores, and fungi that invaded his body naturally caused trouble. Not only did they prevent his wounds from healing for a long period of time, they even interfered with his vitality magnetic field and brain, affecting his thoughts and emotions.
As a result, it was difficult for him to even summon the 'tinder'.
Of course, it would be useless even if he summoned it.
When Meng Chao fell from the super waterfall, which was more than one thousand meters tall, he had already used up all his contribution points, and that was why he was able to stay in a half-dead "standby" state. He did not turn off his computer or even freeze it.
But it was all worth it.
Because he was still alive.
As long as he was alive, there was hope.
A comeback, a desperate counterattack, a hope to change everything.
Even though his body was extremely weak.
The flames of his soul burned even brighter than before.
Besides, he did not know whether it was because his brain had suffered a violent shock when he fell from the guillotine, which activated a lot of the sealed memories from his previous life.
Or was it because he had returned to the starting point of his long journey as a Ghost Assassin in his previous life — Turanze?
Compared to when he was in his hometown in Dragon City, not only did he remember more valuable information, coordinates, people, and skills.
Even his temperament had undergone a tremendous change.
Even if he had gone through multiple bloody battles in Dragon City, he was still a university student and could not completely shake off the immaturity of his student days.
At that moment, he was in Turanze and had crawled out of the depths of hell only to find that he had fallen into another hell. He was like the Ghost Assassin who was skilled in stealth, ambushing, assassination, and destruction in his previous life.
Or rather, he was like the apocalypse Meng Chao.
'I finally found a suitable candidate.'
As he watched Leaf enter a meditative state, Meng Chao nodded in satisfaction.
The boy was smarter than he thought.
He should have a chance to complete the mission.
Even though it was a little risky, Meng Chao had no other choice.
If he relied on his own strength, even if he could kill his way out of the dungeon, he would expose himself too early, and he would end up draining his strength.
To prevent Dragon City's civilization from being dragged into the Other World war too early, he had to form some allies among the high-grade orcs.
The youth named "Ye" was only the first one.
By the looks of it, the risk was worth it.
At the very least, without Leaf, Meng Chao would not have remembered that the more domineering the names of the people in Turanze were, the stronger they were.
'Hurry up and record the crucial information I just discovered.'
With the slightest movement, Meng Chao sucked in a deep breath and sank into the dirty water.
Between his fingers was a totem beast bone that was as thin as a cicada's wing and incredibly sharp.
With the bone, he could leave a dense amount of words on the ground that had been soaked in the dirty water.
These words were not even words from Earth.
Instead, they were shorthand symbols he had learned from Black Skull's training camp in his previous life.
For the time being, he was the only one who could understand them.
Besides, with just a light swipe, he could completely erase them.
Even if the people in Turanze drained all the dirty water in the dungeon, they would only find traces of a palm.
