Chapter 61: The Snowy Night Emperor Seeking Talents
In a short while, nine Hungry Zombies were purified by the lightning generated by Wang Teng's Light's Retribution.
Afterward, Wang Teng continued his journey, searching for the Lord monster.
Soon, after not walking long, a series of corpse roars came from the slightly eerie forest ahead.
Wang Teng thought to himself, 'Here it comes.'
Indeed, Wang Teng quickly discovered the vice copy Lord—Corpse Thief Bone Jailer.
The Lord—Corpse Thief Bone Jailer—was particularly conspicuous among the zombie minions. While the other zombie minions were either grayish-green or blood-red, it alone was ice-blue.
And even from a distance, Wang Teng could feel the deathly cold aura emanating from it.
This aura was different from the Lord—Ice Crystal Ke Lahe—in the vice copy—Frost Dark Forest. Ice Crystal Ke Lahe was simply cold, whereas the Lord—Corpse Thief Bone Jailer—had a deathly chill.
However, Wang Teng was not intimidated; he directly raised his gun and fired three Soul Power Bullets.
"Bang ~ Bang ~ Bang ~"
Three Soul Power Bullets struck the forehead of the Lord—Corpse Thief Bone Jailer.
Accompanying the Soul Power Bullets was a bolt of lightning.
The three Soul Power Bullets were fine, but the lightning that followed immediately after stunned the Lord—Corpse Thief Bone Jailer.
As a member of the undead, for them, Wang Teng's Third Soul Skill, the lightning generated by Light's Retribution, was their natural enemy. The previous Soul Power Bullets were fine; the Lord—Corpse Thief Bone Jailer's defense was extremely strong and did not cause him much damage, but the injury caused by this lightning was not light.
Before it could recover from the lightning strike, another three Soul Power Bullets hit its forehead.
This time, luck was even better, with two consecutive lightning bolts striking down.
"Boom ~ Boom ~"
The few remaining hairs on the Lord—Corpse Thief Bone Jailer's head were directly charred.
Because the lightning effect brought by Wang Teng's Third Soul Skill, Light's Retribution, was too good, the Lord—Corpse Thief Bone Jailer was continuously hit by several lightning bolts, remaining in a stunned state and unable to react at all.
Soon, the Lord—Corpse Thief Bone Jailer—fell dead under Wang Teng's continuous Soul Power Bullet and lightning attacks, dropping a Lord treasure chest.
As for the other zombie small monsters, they were still some distance away from Wang Teng! The moment the Lord fell, they all ascended on the spot.
"Prompt: Cleared vice copy—Dark Thunder Ruins, obtained 400 Lord Origin."
"Phew~, this zombie's defense is really strong. If it weren't for the lightning generated by Light's Retribution, it really wouldn't have been easy."
Indeed, in comparison, in the previous two vice copies, Wang Teng could instantly kill Goblin small monsters.
But whether it was the Jungle Zombie or the Hungry Zombie, their defense was much stronger than those Goblins. If it weren't for the lightning attack of the Third Soul Skill, Light's Retribution, it wouldn't have been so easy to clear vice copy—Dark Thunder Ruins.
The next day.
At this time, Wang Teng had basically finished his cultural courses. Having nothing to do, he thought of going to his Plain and Unremarkable Shop to take a look.
After all, as the boss, he always had to care about his business.
Speaking of which, although Wang Teng was the true boss, he was completely a hands-off manager, having visited the Plain and Unremarkable Shop only a handful of times. Usually, Natya managed it.
Perhaps it was to win over Natya, or perhaps it was because the recovery potion's effect was too good; in any case, Prince Xue Xing was a frequent customer of the Plain and Unremarkable Shop, often coming in person to purchase recovery potions.
In addition, Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was also very attentive to Natya, very much wanting to win Natya over to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's two guardians were both recruited by Ning Fengzhi.
Even though Natya repeatedly declined these two forces, Ning Fengzhi did quiet down, but Xue Xing did not.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School already had two masters guarding it, so even if they couldn't win over Natya, it didn't matter, but the Heaven Dou Empire was different.
Although the Heaven Dou Empire was vast and had many core strengths, it lacked top-tier masters.
After all, the Spirit Master masters within the Heaven Dou Empire basically came from various Spirit Master families or Sect forces, and due to Spirit Hall's free awakening policy, even commoner geniuses joined Spirit Hall.
Where did those Titled Douluo-level Elders in Spirit Hall come from? They basically originated from commoners, and these geniuses, after growing up, would also establish their own Spirit Master families.
Accumulated over generations, Spirit Hall had the most masters.
With numerous Spirit Master families and geniuses emerging from commoners, this led to Spirit Hall's development momentum being incomparable to that of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Moreover, the Heaven Dou Royal Family's own Spirit was not strong, and although they held the title of the Empire's Royal Family, they could not control the various forces within Heaven Dou. This also meant that although there were Upper Three Sects within Heaven Dou, those masters were not under the control of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Among them, only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was somewhat close to the Heaven Dou Royal Family, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan didn't pay any attention, and the Clear Sky Sect simply sealed off their mountain and lived in seclusion.
Emperor Xue Ye, who urgently needed the support of masters, had ordered Xue Xing to win Natya over to the Heaven Dou Empire. Even if she couldn't truly serve the Heaven Dou Empire, she should at least become an honored guest like Dugu Bo.
Anyway, when Wang Teng arrived at the Plain and Unremarkable Shop, Xue Xing was already inside.
As usual, Xue Xing, who was not short on money, directly bought all the potions limited for sale that day.
Wang Teng nodded with satisfaction, 'This is more like it. What I'm offering are good things. Why aren't you big fat sheep hurrying over to be fleeced? What's the point of keeping so many gold coins? Just to sit around and wait to die?'
"Oh? Little friend Wang Teng is here too?"
Xue Xing saw Wang Teng and recognized him.
"Hmm, hello, Uncle."
Since Xue Xing had already bought all the potions in the shop, Wang Teng, for the sake of these 200,000 gold coins, sweetly called him 'Uncle.'
Looking at Wang Teng, Xue Xing's eyes darted around, thinking of something.
After all this time, Xue Xing also knew that Natya and Wang Teng had a senior-junior sister/brother relationship. He wondered if he could try the relative/friend route?
"Haha, Mianxia Natya, Spirit of War, I see that Wang Teng's father is also a high-ranking military official in my Heaven Dou Empire. How about Mianxia joins the Heaven Dou Empire and becomes an honored guest of my Heaven Dou Empire?"
Xue Xing knew that this Mianxia Natya, Spirit of War, would probably find it difficult to truly join the Heaven Dou Empire, so he could only settle for the next best thing: becoming an honored guest.
Although he didn't expect an Empire honored guest to truly risk their life for the Heaven Dou Empire, under normal circumstances, helping out was not a problem.
For example, leading a team to help an 80-level quasi-Spirit Douluo hunt a high-level Spirit Beast? Although the Heaven Dou Empire lacked top-tier masters, the number of Spirit Saints was still considerable.
