1313 Nine Days!
That is great?!
Jefred was stunned. He didnt understand Wang Tengs reaction.
Euphelia would have a meteoric rise in power when fully grasping the Blood Sea Domain. It wouldnt be easy beating her by then.
And yet, Justin said that this was great?
Is there something wrong with his mind?
What is so great about it? Jefred asked curiously.
Cough. Wang Teng coughed awkwardly to recover. That was close. He quickly put on a deranged expression and clenched his fists, showing a menancing smile. The stronger my opponents, the more excited I become. Isnt it great?
... I see. Jefred was at a loss, torn between laughing and crying.
And I was worrying that he would feel down because of this. In the end, the young one didnt care and was even pumped with the future challenge.
Jefred would never know that Wang Teng had laid eyes on Euphelias Blood Sea Domain.
The Blood Sea Domain sounds really amazing.
I must get this attribute. No one can stop me.
Sir, dont worry. I defeated her once, I can defeat her again, Wang Teng promised with a sharp glint in his eyes.
Erm... its good that youre confident, said a nodding Jefred after a short silence.
The elder didnt know where that youngster had gotten such confidence from.
However, he wouldnt dissuade the fellow; having confidence was better than having none. What if he succeeds?
Thank you for your concern, said Wang Teng, pretending to be thankful.
Good. Jefred was satisfied with Wang Tengs attitude. He nodded and said. Your ability is on par with Justus. You will be his assistant from now on; assist him overseeing my Elite Guards. Once our invasion plan ends, Ill consider giving you a higher status if you accumulate enough merit.
It doesnt matter if you come from a low-tier Darkland. You will break free from this status and climb to a higher position in the future.
Justus assistant!
Isnt that the Elite Guards second in command?
Have I been promoted again?
Our hero was gobsmacked. He had trouble speaking, taking a while to react. What else could he say besides thanking the elder?
My thanks for all your support.
Jefred continued, You can go and look for me in the future if you have any questions regarding your cultivation; I might be able to give you some guidance in regards to developing your domain.
Wang Teng was again puzzled by the development.
That elder was treating him awfully well.
He had been promoted, and was even willing to personally give him cultivation guidance. Furthermore, he didnt demand any compensation.
This was a perfect boss.
Wang Teng felt bad for treating him like a dark apparition.
No! No!
I am a spy. He had to be reminded of his identity. How could he be blinded by the benefits?
Damn it, this must be their scheme!
They want to use this method to break down my will. How evil.
However, he still replied obediently, Yes!
Rejecting personal guidance from a mid-tier devil emperor would be a terrible waste.
Jefred stopped there and bid farewell.
Wang Teng felt emotional. He looked up at the pitch-black sky and sighed.
Sigh~
Why am I still climbing higher in the Darkland?
This is frustrating!
He didnt plan such an outcome. He was just doing covert work.
Things were going in the wrong direction.
Our hero shook his head a short while after, then laid the matter to rest. He turned and submerged himself in the darkness.
Next, he arrived at the immaculate energy stone mine. Once making sure no one was lurking about or following him, he stepped into the array.
The walls looked completely different at the moment. There were holes everywhere, and his trusty metal armor flaming scorpion was nowhere in sight.
However, he could sense the creature was somewhere inside, so he instantly walked in a certain direction.
Soon, he reached the place where the scorpion was digging.
Master! The scorpions eyes lit up when seeing Wang Teng; it hurried over to claim credit. Master, Ive dug up most of the energy stones. Theyre all here; please take a look.
It presented a space ring with its large pincers and handed it to Wang Teng.
The item was normal in size, a stark contrast to the giant pincers of the scorpion. It looked a little funny.
Fortunately, the space ring was sturdy and hard to break. Even if the large scorpion was strong and its pincers sharp, it couldnt break the ring.
Wang Teng took the ring and instilled his spiritual power inside. Immediately after he saw a huge pile of immaculate energy stones. He was delighted.
Good heavens, this is impressive!
He predicted that the amount of energy stones would be considerable, never expecting such an excess.
Immaculate energy stone mines were difficult to form; even if they did, the quantity wasnt large.
However, the yield of that mine was at least as high as the standard yield of an ordinary small and medium-sized mine.
It was estimated that there were about 40 thousand square meters of immaculate energy stones.
That was equivalent to 40 trillion UC!
Thats right! 40 trillion UC!
Wang Teng checked the price of immaculate energy stones in secret. They were rare items and they had many uses; their price was incredibly high.
One square meter of immaculate energy stones would cost one billion UC.
It was unbelievable.
However, that was the truth.
Those stones were priceless in the outside world, and could count as treasures.
The young mans assets escalated multiple times since he now had forty thousand square meters of immaculate energy stones.
Of course, he wasnt stupid. He wouldnt put them for sale; that would be a waste.
He had ample UC, but he didnt have immaculate energy stones. He didnt even see them in the past.
This meant that it would be better to keep them close; they would definitely be useful in the future.
Wang Teng was in a good mood because of the sudden wealth.
There was a fluctuation in the array. Ukpur walked in.
Wang Teng blinked. He had altered the array, so he instantly sensed Ukpurs presence.
The creatures arrival didnt count as a surprise; after all, he was the one who asked him to go there.
A short while passed, then footsteps were heard in the cave. Ukpur directly walked towards Wang Teng and the metal armor flaming scorpion, not trying ot hide anything.
The empty cave walls made his heart bleed.
All of that would have been his, but they were gone now.
Damn it!
Master! He bowed at Wang Teng obediently.
The latter nodded, then asked indifferently, Hows the matter?
I have already made some investigation on your behalf, Ukpur replied obediently.
Really? Wang Tengs eyes lit up. Tell me more.
Ukpur replied instantly, The devil ovum will recover completely in nine days. Sir Bare Brain paid a huge price this time; he used origin crystals to help it revive and recuperate. War will begin in nine days.
What? Nine days! Wang Teng was shocked; his face turned black.
