Chapter 249 - 214: War Evolution Pool (Part 2)
"Alright, then!"
Wang Yi nodded and then summoned Wadu from the sky. He ordered him to gather Wang Bushi, Xiang Yun, Hai Zhongxian, Hu Miaosuan, Nangong Jin, and the Martial Saint Feng Yu Xiu Squad. He also told him to bring over some of the various Octagonal Cages.
While waiting for the Soldiers to assemble, Wang Yi gave Li Longyu a brief introduction to Huaguo Mountain. He treated her like a Player, patiently explaining settings like Soldier Types, buildings, and so on.
A moment later, Zhao Mei arrived. She was holding a gourd and had been on her way to the Water Curtain Cave, but she couldn’t help but frown when she saw Wang Yi and Li Longyu.
She walked up to Wang Yi and Li Longyu. While Li Longyu was admiring the distant scenery, she discreetly gave Wang Yi a look and said, "Hey, is that your girl? Pretty cute. What’s her deal?"
"The genuine Eldest Princess of the Royal Family, the most beautiful woman in the world. What do you think? Prettier than you, right?"
"Tch, she’s just okay. Is our Lord planning on playing the virtual girlfriend game?"
"Indigenous People are real beings, so she doesn’t count as a virtual girlfriend, does she?"
"Are you serious about her, or just playing around?"
"Of course I’m serious!"
"Trust me, women only slow down the speed at which you draw your sword! We Players should enter the game unattached and free of worldly ties. That’s the only way to be truly carefree and happy. The greatest masters are always lonely, get it?"
"You’re right. I support you. I’m happy to be a lesser master!"
"Whatever, I can’t be bothered with you! Here, take this. It’s a Small Yuan Pill I just refined. A Mortal who takes one can extend their life by three to five years, but taking more has no effect. Use it to show off."
"This is good stuff! For the Indigenous People, something like this is worth a fortune and almost impossible to get."
Wang Yi accepted the gourd of Small Yuan Pills without hesitation. Just then, Li Longyu walked over, so Wang Yi introduced Zhao Mei to her.
Li Longyu was simply too beautiful and carried herself with such grace that Zhao Mei felt awkward in her presence and quickly excused herself.
"That was Zhao Mei, the second Player under my command. She class-changed into a Pill Dao Venerable and knows Alchemy. Players are what you call ’Aliens.’ I have another Player subordinate on the Western Continent, acting as a Dog-headed God. I’ll introduce you when I get the chance."
"Okay!"
Li Longyu nodded. In truth, she was exceptionally sharp and a quick learner, so she already had a basic understanding of what Players were.
Just then, Man Datou descended from the sky with his Taisens.
"Man Datou, with the Manzi Camp’s Sky-Flight Squad, reporting to the Lord!"
Man Datou saluted Wang Yi, looking quite proud of himself.
"A Sky-Flight Squad? That’s an interesting idea!"
Wang Yi raised an eyebrow, looking at the Taisens with single-strap Flying Bags on their backs. ’What is Man Datou thinking?’ he thought. ’Making boxers fly? What’s the point? Improved mobility?’
He didn’t want to dampen Man Datou’s enthusiasm, though. After briefly introducing Li Longyu, he quickly ordered a Heroic Level Beast Taisen to enter the War Evolution Pool.
"Ding! The current target can be evolved in the Evolution Pool into the High-level King soldier type [Fist Emperor]. Evolution requires 110,000 Gold Coins. Please submit!"
"110,000 Gold Coins... so expensive!"
Wang Yi heard the system prompt but had the Beast Taisen walk out of the Evolution Pool. He then ordered an ordinary Taisen to enter.
"Ding! The current target can be evolved in the Evolution Pool into the High-level King soldier type [Fist Emperor]. Evolution requires 111,000 Gold Coins. Please submit!"
"It’s one thousand Gold Coins more..."
Wang Yi seemed to have a revelation. He scrounged up the Gold Coins. Thanks to the large amount he had saved up from "fixing cars" recently, he barely managed to gather 111,000. After paying, [Taisen 66] in the War Evolution Pool became [Fist Emperor Taisen 66]. His skin turned a purplish-black, his body became massive, and he grew to a height of three meters. After exiting the pool, he began boxing on the spot. His style was grand and sweeping, but it was just basic Military Boxing.
====
Name: Fist Emperor Taisen 126
Class: One-star Soldier
Skills: [Fist Emperor Skill Compendium], [Flight Training Certified]
Description: The Fist Emperor possesses immense physical attack power, damage resistance, and incredibly comprehensive boxing techniques. Overall combat power is rated as High-level King!
====
’The skill information is pretty simple...’
As Wang Yi watched the purple-skinned Fist Emperor Taisen practice his boxing, he couldn’t help but be reminded of a certain "M-arvel" supervillain. ’Thanos doing Military Boxing would probably look just like this,’ he mused.
A few moments later, Wang Bushi, Hai Zhongxian, Jelena, Nangong Jin, and the others arrived. Wang Yi formally introduced Li Longyu to them, directly calling her his wife.
Li Longyu clearly understood what "wife" meant. Her face turned red with shyness, and she secretly pinched Wang Yi’s arm.
Wang Yi didn’t mind at all and continued calling her "wife" at every opportunity.
Wang Bushi and Jelena were taken aback for a moment. Wang Yi had no idea what was going on in those two kids’ heads, but they were very friendly—even affectionate—toward Li Longyu.
Li Longyu already knew that Wang Bushi and Jelena had been hatched by Wang Yi from Chaos Eggs. She was very curious about the two children and quite fond of them, and the three of them hit it off right away.
Meanwhile, Wang Yi pressed on with his Unit Evolution experiments.
He quickly reached a conclusion.
The final evolutions for Taisen, Boyka, Feng Yuxiu, Heaven and Earth Defects, Fire Fire Evil God, and Leonidas were the High-level King units: [Fist Emperor], [Fighting God], [Martial God], [Piano Demon], [Evil God], and [War God], respectively.
After reaching their final evolution, it seemed the Heaven and Earth Defects were no longer a two-person team and could act independently.
Furthermore, the [Martial Saint Fengyu Cultivator] recruited directly from the Octagonal Cage was likely a low-level King. It could still be evolved in the War Evolution Pool into a [Martial God Fengyu Cultivator], but it would cost 100,000 Gold Coins.
Similarly, the Kung Fu’s Number One Killing King from the Fire Fire Evil God line could also be evolved into a more powerful Evil God by paying one hundred thousand Gold Coins.
’Battle God Boyka... I wonder what his abilities are. And War God Sparta... don’t tell me he evolves into Kratos? This evolution path is pretty awesome, but it’s just too expensive. The cheapest one is a hundred thousand Gold Coins...’
Wang Yi muttered.
Although he now knew the final evolution paths for the Octagonal Cage Soldiers, aside from the first Fist Emperor Taisen he had created, he hadn’t evolved any of the others.
Because he had no money!
’High-level units are just too expensive. Oh well, I’ll just have to save up slowly. It’s about time to head back to Quejing City anyway. I have to keep my promise to Yu’er...’
Wang Yi had Xiang Yun, Hai Zhongxian, Hu Miaosuan, and the eight Martial Saint Fengyu Cultivators board the Galaxy Airship. Then he went to find Li Longyu and Wang Bushi and said, "Time to get on the airship. We’re heading out!"
"Back to Quejing? To the Imperial Palace?" Li Longyu asked.
"Yes. And while we’re at it, we’ll end the war in the Western Domain and explore the Corridor of Chaos!"
Meanwhile, at Black Stone Mountain, a large number of Refugees were entering Shanhai Pass.
These Refugees came from the various commanderies and counties of the Eastern Domain. They were the very people the Dongsheng Prince Mansion had ordered to be sent to the Jade River valley as pioneers.
Along with these Refugees, large quantities of ships, ore, ironware, provisions, and Gold Coins also passed through the gates!
Black Stone Mountain became livelier than ever. All the people, supplies, and Gold Coins that passed through the gates were ultimately destined for the Jade River valley. They were said to be for pioneering, but in reality, they were being sent to Eggshell Village.
And on the border between the Eastern and Northern Domains, the battle banners of the Ancient Barbarian Country were now flying. An army from the Ancient Barbarian Country had launched a surprise invasion of the Golden Sparrow Country.
In Beimang, King Beimang led the Beimang Iron Cavalry to be the first to engage the Ancient Barbarian Country’s army in a direct confrontation.
At the Dongsheng Prince Mansion, an urgent report arrived by swift horse.
After reading the urgent report, Jin Buhuan frowned. He immediately issued a command: "All soldiers and generals, on my order! Assemble at once, reinforce the border, and repel the army of the Ancient Barbarian Country!"
After issuing the order, however, Jin Buhuan also wrote a secret letter and had it sent by express courier to Black Stone Mountain, to be delivered to Lu Aqi.
As for the contents of the letter, it contained a single request: a plea for aid to Eggshell Village.
At the same time, in the Western Domain, the sphere of light atop Linggu Mountain suddenly shone with brilliant intensity!
Also in the Western Domain, to the west of Quejing City, there was a mountain called Huayang Mountain. Atop Huayang Mountain, Liang Xiaoyu took out a large jade seal—the National Seal Jade Seal of the Golden Sparrow Country.
At that moment, the Jade Seal began to glow brightly. Liang Xiaoyu exclaimed with joy, "The public quest is complete! The entrance to the Corridor of Chaos has opened!"
