Chapter 81: Yin Soldiers And Ghost Troops
Xiao Yu, this pure female college student, was naturally not foolish and wouldn’t place an order so casually.
She left a sentence saying she’d consider it before ending the call.
But Wu Xian wasn’t in a hurry; his scroll painting would gradually ferment at Xuantian Academy anyway.
Arriving at the Dimensional Port, he entered the Beginner Instance Area for free.
Exiting the Death Mountain Town Outpost, he raced outward all the way; riding a flying sword felt completely different.
Near Mine Area No. 7, while casually dealing with scattered abyssal monsters, he searched for traces of those few “enlightened” abyssal monsters.
Nowadays, Mine Area No. 7 was basically abandoned, and the major mines had begun to withdraw, but there were still quite a few various factions conducting investigations here.
“Fourth Order Elite?”
During the search, he keenly captured the aura and figure of a Tier 4 elite abyssal monster.
With a dive on the laurel branch underfoot, sword light straight to the face.
The abyssal monster let out a piercing shriek and instinctively wanted to counterattack, but was blocked by two “burly men,” one black and one white.
Black and White Impermanence behind the silver scroll handled a Tier 4 elite with ease.
Wu Xian was even more curious about the appearance of this elite ghost monster.
Disheveled and filthy, with bulging veins on pale white skin, sharp fangs and claws; who knew which scroll painter’s “mongrel” this was—no imagination at all.
After being “physically” transcended by Black and White Impermanence, the dropped materials were mediocre, with slightly less rare spirituality content.
It seemed that elite monsters differed from elite monster to elite monster.
While continuing the search, he encountered a familiar group.
It was the teacher from the art studio registration back then, now hurriedly evacuating with his followers, each with uglier faces than the last.
“What’s the situation? That was just a Third Order elite, why was it so terrifying?”
“Have you all encountered that kind of abyssal monster before?”
“No impression at all.”
Hearing this, the leading art studio teacher frowned tightly. “It’s better to avoid coming here as much as possible in the future; that elite abyssal monster is not simple.”
“Little Yangzi, you’re a scroll painter, how come you can’t even deal with an elite monster?” A middle-aged follower nearby said sarcastically.
The art studio teacher inwardly felt bitter; scroll painters had tiers too, okay?
His little demon scroll was clearly no match for that elite monster.
But facing these relatives and elders from the family, even with all his grievances, he could only swallow them by grinding his teeth.
Back when he got into the art studio, he was the center of attention, with the entire family’s resources supporting him.
However, his life’s peak moment was forever stuck on the day he entered the art studio.
Over these years, the clansmen’s resentment toward him grew greater, giving him unprecedented pressure that left him breathless.
“Things should get better once I condense the divine diagram,” the art studio teacher said wistfully.
“Fine, fine.”
……
Wu Xian wasn’t so immature as to fly down and show off to this art studio teacher.
He silently followed the direction they had fled from.
Not long after, he saw the elite abyssal monster that had repelled them, feeling both shocked and delighted.
That elite abyssal monster was clad in yin soul armor, holding a yin soul spear, searching and slaughtering nearby ordinary abyssal monsters; its emitted aura was clearly different from other abyssal monsters.
“Could it be one of those enlightened abyssal monsters from last time?”
Wu Xian swallowed dryly and tried releasing the 【Ghost King】.
Sensing the Ghost King’s aura, the “yin soldier”-like abyssal monster below seemed to notice something and instantly looked toward Wu Xian.
“It really is!”
Seeing the yin soldier advancing toward him, Wu Xian was utterly astonished.
How long had it been? It had already evolved to this extent?
Good grief; if he enlightened more abyssal monsters like this, wouldn’t the Yaoyang City Abyssal Realm Control Zone become his turf?
He just wasn’t clear yet on exactly how “enlightenment” worked.
He then tried on-site, having the yin commanders summon surrounding abyssal monsters for “incorporation” and control.
He found that not all abyssal monsters could be enlightened; only a small portion developed special spiritual structures.
This “incorporation” operation seemed to consume the law power condensed in the divine diagram.
He wanted to try if the Ghost King could take back the yin soldier, but saw the yin soldier turn into a wisp of wandering soul and directly burrow into his body, startling him badly.
“What the hell?”
Wu Xian jumped in shock and hurriedly checked his own condition.
He then discovered in surprise that the yin soldier had actually merged into the 【Ten Great Yin Marshals】 divine diagram, becoming a dim background in the divine diagram.
“So that’s how it is,” Wu Xian thought excitedly. “Let’s go, go pick up the other yin soldiers and bring them home!”
Then, under the Ghost King’s sensation, he searched for traces of the other yin soldiers.
Far away, he heard the rumbling of combat vehicles; only upon approaching did he realize it was that art studio newbie who had brought his sister last time.
Of course, this time he hadn’t brought her; after all, this was the Beginner Instance Area—bringing a bunch of vases would be suicidal.
Over a month without seeing him, this guy’s strength had clearly improved a lot; he wore a handsome set of silver armor, held a spear, and fought with wide, sweeping moves against a yin soldier abyssal monster, struggling hard.
“Young Master, this elite monster is a bit strong; no, let us handle it?”
On the rumbling combat vehicle nearby, two upright bodyguards hesitated to speak, fearing something might happen to the young master.
But that guy got angrier the more he fought.
“No one step in; I’ll do it myself. This young master just won’t believe it!”
Ever since switching to this gear, Wang Xiaocong had looked down on beginner instances.
After coming to the Beginner Instance Area, he indeed got by smoothly, with his two bodyguards basically just for show.
However, this Third Order elite monster in front of him had made him eat dirt.
He could clearly beat other Third Order elites, but this Third Order elite he just couldn’t beat; its spearplay was even smoother than his.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Seeing the young master get knocked over again and again, the two bodyguards were terribly anxious.
Wu Xian, approaching on a flying sword, saw everything and had a strange expression.
This guy was really stubborn!
Couldn’t win but insisted on fighting.
“Appliance Scroll Painter?”
Wu Xian curiously observed the gear and weapon on Wang Xiaocong.
Not to mention anything else, at least the defense on that armor was very solid.
Abused by the yin soldier for so long, yet not injured at all.
While Wu Xian was watching, the two bodyguards on the combat vehicle keenly noticed his approach; though Wu Xian had no hostility, the two bodyguards still became vigilant.
“Um, need any help?” Wu Xian felt a bit sorry for his yin soldier.
Hearing the unfamiliar voice, Wang Xiaocong, in the midst of battle, doubtfully turned back; upon clearly seeing Wu Xian in mid-air, he was visibly stunned. “Holy crap, rooster knight?!”
“…” Wu Xian was speechless.
“What kind of vehicle is that? A flying sword? Pretty cool!”
Seeing that the young master knew the newcomer, the two bodyguards finally relaxed their vigilance.
Strange, why did these young people nowadays keep rushing to the Beginner Instance Area?
Wu Xian dove down, putting on a show of a few rounds with the yin soldier, then finally stabbed down with his sword; the yin soldier put on a show of a miserable scream, turned into a flowing light, and was taken into his divine diagram.
Wang Xiaocong and the two bodyguards saw this and were all dumbfounded.
“That’s it… won?” Wang Xiaocong couldn’t believe it. “How’d you do that?”
“My scroll painting weapon has a strong restraining effect against yin evil things and can even devour yin soul abyssal monsters to improve.” Wu Xian made up an explanation.
“I see.”
Wang Xiaocong suddenly understood and didn’t suspect anything, after all, the 【laurel branch】 did emit extremely strong yin energy.
“But speaking of which, Rooster Bro’s got some moves; you trained, right?” Wang Xiaocong asked eagerly.
“Not bad, but still a bit off compared to Combat Vehicle Bro.”
Wu Xian’s mouth twitched stiffly. Goddamn Rooster Bro—you’re the rooster!
“That’s right~ I’ve been training since I was little, bro.” Wang Xiaocong smugly pursed his lips. “I’m Wang Xiaocong; may I ask Rooster Bro’s name?”
“Wu Xian.”
