1316 Disciple!
Devil Emperor Bare Brains voice wavered as he spoke. It was only a fleeting moment, but it was clearly captured by Wang Teng.
His expression turned a little strange.
This Emperor No Brain must have misunderstood something.
Even that high-tier devil emperor was shocked by his speed.
I understand a little! Wang Teng decided to play humble.
Bare Brain: ...
It sounded casual!
Although not by much, it wasnt just a little.
This Justin is a bit pretentious!
There was a slight distortion in Bare Brains dark domain. He then appeared and walked over. Its barely enough to have a small level of understanding. When I was first enlightened, I was around 30% at your level.
Wang Teng: ...
This No Brain is boasting!
Wang Teng looked at Bare Brain with a studious look and said humbly, Youre right, sir. I will work harder and aim to reach your level of enlightenment in an hour. Please continue to guide me.
... One hour! The latters face muscles twitched.
Where did this monster come from?
He had previously held the boys talents in high regard; still, he seemed to have underestimated him.
The elder was still a little skeptical about the last remark.
Reaching the third level within an hour. Can this fellow really do it?
Let us see how far you can go, then, Bare Brain said.
No matter how shocked he was, he had to remain calm on the surface and not be looked down upon.
Yes, I will not disappoint you sir, Wang Teng replied seriously.
A high-tier devil emperor was teaching him personally. Where else could he find such a good opportunity? He had to study hard.
He would run off after learning everything~
Devil Emperor Bare Brain didnt know what was going on in Wang Tengs mind. He felt satisfied, seeing the young ones eagerness to learn, so he continued to give cultivation pointers to that junior.
One hour later...
Whats your progress? Bare Brain asked.
Wang Teng looked at his attributes board and said, My domains power has increased to around 40%.
Dark Domain: 1450/3000 (third-level)
Although still at the same level, it was indeed stronger than before. It had been a qualitative change.
The main reason for this was Bare Brain suppressing his domain to the third level, and the less than desirable drop of attributes. Otherwise, his enlightenment speed would have been much faster.
Bare Brain didnt know what to say.
He didnt expect that Wang Teng could really do it. Increasing domain power to 40% in an hour. Was this something anyone could do?
If things carried on in such a manner, he would have nothing else to teach after one day.
This made the expert feel some frustration. A devil king, actually dealing a blow to a high-tier devil emperor like him.
Cough. Bare Brain cleared his throat and said calmly, Not bad, 40% in an hour. Lets call it a day. Go back and continue working; digest and consolidate your gains, but dont be too hasty.
Youre my disciple now. Take this token; you can come to see me directly if you encounter any troubles in the future.
A black token appeared in his hand and he threw it towards Wang Teng.
Disciple? Wang Teng was stunned and a little curious.
Disciple?
He looked at the token in his hand, and couldnt figure out what material it was made of. The thing felt cold in his hands, like a block of ice.
The words Bare Brain were engraved on one side of the token, written in dark language; the two strange symbols had an archaic feel to them.
There were a pair of sinister eyes on the other side. Ones spirit would be sucked in if anyone kept staring at them.
Why do these eyes look a bit familiar? Wang Teng frowned as he thought about it. He couldnt remember where he had seen them before.
He raised his head and realized that Bare Brain had already disappeared, leaving him alone in that forest.
He was dazed.
Hey, why did he leave like this? Couldnt he take me along?
He looked around, but he didnt know where he was, nor which way to go back.
Filled with resentment, he cursed Emperor No Brains entire family.
But then again, why did it feel like he was taking revenge?
Moreover, the way Bare Brain had left just then looked a little pitiful, as if he was... escaping.
Whats up with this?
Was he scared away by my enlightenment speed?
The more Wang Teng thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. Bare Brains recommendations moments before... Wasnt he trying to make him slow down?
Was the man afraid he was learning too fast and would have nothing else to teach?
Wang Teng felt that he was onto something, and was caught between laughter and tears.
He then shook his head, choosing not to dwell upon it. He turned serious, and recalled the hall where the Bare Brain was.
There was no trace of the devil ovum. Wang Teng frowned. Did Ukpur lie to me?
Impossible!
There was nothing wrong with his Enchantment. Their communication hadnt been broken; it had deepend even. It would have been impossible for Ukpur to lie to him.
If so, there were only two possibilities
One was that the devil ovum was being kept elsewhere. Bare Brains residence was only a cover.
Another possibility was that the devil ovum was there, but he couldnt find it.
Wang Tengs eyes flickered. He decided to find another opportunity to sneak in the following day.
Although extremely difficult in the past, it wasnt that difficult to find his way in anymore.
Wang Teng didnt expect that Bare Brain would personally guide him. Furthermore, it wasnt inside the great hall, but somewhere outside.
Simply put, the powerhouse had given him an opportunity.
Bare Brain would still guide him the next day. He could have his Devour Nihility Beast clone infiltrate the place, and the chances of being discovered would be low.
He would have an alibi!
It was perfect.
Wang Teng was amazed by his own planning, silently praising his intelligence.
Afterwards, he could only find his own way back to the devil armor races territory.
He finally made it back after spending half a day and almost getting lost in the forest.
He had actually been transported to a place dozens of kilometers away. Emperor No Brain was really narrow-minded, leaving him outside like that. He almost couldnt find his way.
As soon as he returned, Jarrod went to see him and asked curiously, Jarrod, what did Emperor Bare Brain find you for?
He took me in as his disciple today, and started to guide my domain cultivation, Wang Teng replied.
What? Bare Brain accepted you as a disciple and was teaching you personally? Jarrod widened his eyes; the red light inside them flashed rapidly, overcome with disbelief.
He just taught me a few random things. Nothing much, Wang Teng said.
... Jarrod.
Nothing much?
He was the Devil Emperor Bare Brains disciple!
He was so lighthearted and casual about it, as if not caring one bit.
If you dont care about it, give me the opportunity instead.
Tsk, how pretentious!
Jarrod despised him fiercely in his heart, filled with envy and jealousy. He then walked away while muttering to himself. He wanted to wrest the opportunity away from the other, but he could only think about doing it. Given his talent, Bare Brain would probably ignore him.
Wang Tengs expression turned strange.
This devil armor fellow looks like an idiot.
Soon, Jefred was there as well.
Jefred pulled Wang Teng to a corner and asked softly, Emperor Bare Brain was looking for you?
Yes. Wang Teng admitted. He felt at a loss; it had only been some just guidance from a high-tier devil emperor, nothing to make a fuss about.
What for? Jefred asked anxiously.
Wang Teng had no choice but to repeat what he said to Jarrod.
What? Disciple! Jefred was flabbergasted.
Nothing much. He just taught me a few things about my domain, Wang Teng responded.
Nothing much? Haha... Jefred laughed. He was rendered speechless by Wang Teng. Then he asked, Do you know what it means to be his disciple?
What does it mean? Wang Teng asked.
It means that youll receive Emperor Bare Brains protection and resources. Xuelun, the one who attacked you twice, will probably never dare attack you again in the future. There are more benefits; youll get to experience them when we return to the Darkland, Jefred explained.
Oh? So amazing! Wang Teng was stunned. Being a disciple wasnt as simple as he thought.
What were you thinking? You dont know how lucky you are. Jefred shook his head. Nevertheless, this is a good thing. You have to hold on to this chance and not make Emperor Bare Brain angry.
Understood. Wang Teng nodded.
Well, thats it. Cultivate well; dont worry about patrolling in the future, Jefred said.
His attitude towards Wang Teng was much better than before, as if regarding the latter as the future of the Devil Armor Race.
Being on the Bare Brains side meant that Justins future would be absolutely extraordinary.
Thank you sir, Wang Teng said.
Jefred took a deep look at Wang Teng and left without saying anything else.
Wang Teng stood there, speechless.
His status was elevated, yet again!
He was suddenly made a disciple, and even the mid-tier devil emperor Jefred was paying more attention to him now.
Being a disciple was even more remarkable than he had imagined.
However, he didnt pay attention to Jefreds thoughts. He was a fake, not someone from the Devil Armor Race. He would run away once he was done. Who would care about this?
Wang Teng put this matter behind him and prepared to plan for his infiltration ops the following day.
Before long, a vampire apparition paid him a visit.
I heard that you became Emperor Bare Brains disciple. This is a gift from Sir Xuelun, said the envious-looking vampire, handing Wang Teng a gray bag.
Gift? Wang Teng was a little stunned.
A gift from Xuelun?
Seriously? Was he that kind?
Wang Teng opened the bag and saw a pile of dark red crystals lying quietly inside. They were Blood Demon Crystals.
Looking at the quantity, there were at least fifty thousand of them, which was more than what he received before.
