Chapter 786 Countdown to Departure
"You've got some self-awareness, turning yourself into a natural disaster."
"If Yuhao can also become a natural disaster, then my title of Undead Calamity will not be considered lost in the river of time."
Electrolux's figure gradually solidified and became clear.
His long, gray-white hair shimmered with a soft glow, and his handsome features were as if perfectly sculpted by the Creator, his eyes seemingly containing a myriad of stars.
Ye Nanxiao turned his head and glanced at him, praising, "Old Master Yi must have had no shortage of suitors when he was young. With such a handsome face, I admit you are more handsome."
Electrolux chuckled. "It's quite a pleasant surprise to hear you, this narcissistic fox, admit defeat."
As is well known, the leaf fox is a very narcissistic creature.
"How's the recovery going? Your face is so smooth, like it's been coated with wax, you can't even see the pores." Ye Nanxiao reached out to poke Electrolux's face.
Electrolux glanced at Ye Nanxiao but did not stop him.
The result of touching it was not as soft as Ye Nanxiao had imagined; instead, a slightly burning sensation lingered on his fingertips.
"At least it's not just a cloud of fog anymore. Are there any materials needed to forge the body? I'll have someone look for them tomorrow." Ye Nanxiao withdrew his hand and slightly tiptoed.
Damn it, how come Electrox is so much taller than me after transforming!
Electrolux's height is almost comparable to Huo Yuhao's.
"You should still have room to grow, as long as you can ensure your pure essence is sufficient." Electrolux smiled slightly and pointed to Ye Nanxiao's waist.
"It's a bit difficult. Sometimes it's not that I want to go up the highway and climb mountains, but that I'm stuck under the Five Finger Mountain." Ye Nanxiao scratched his head.
"Let's not talk about that. Now that you can condense an energy body, have you recovered half your strength?"
Ye Nanxiao's words were filled with intense anticipation.
If Electrolux could recover half of his strength, he would have another powerful backer.
With half of his power restored, wouldn't the Undead Saint God be able to sweep across this continent?
With another 20% increase, we'll be qualified to negotiate with the celestial beings.
Suddenly, a ball of fire burst into flames in front of Electrox.
The flames gradually extended downwards, scorching a staff in the air.
The staff was slightly slender and covered with mysterious runes.
Electrolux gripped his staff, turned to Ye Nanxiao, and said, "Shield this area."
Ye Nanxiao immediately understood and raised the Frozen Flower.
"I may disappoint you, but I haven't recovered to 50%. I've only managed to recover to about 30%." Electrox gently shook his staff, and an unparalleled aura emanated from him.
Blurry figures appeared behind Electrox, kneeling before him as if they were seeing their sovereign.
A powerful force shook the barrier created by the Frozen Flower.
The warning from the Frozen Flower kept ringing in Ye Nanxiao's ears, warning him that the person in front of him now possessed the power to threaten his safety.
Ye Nanxiao pressed down on the constantly trembling Frozen Flower, feeling Electrolux's power up close, which brought his restless mind back to peace.
My own strength is nothing compared to Electrox's.
We still need to get stronger! To become even stronger.
"Elder Yi, just how powerful is your thirty percent strength?!" Ye Nanxiao asked.
Electrox smiled slightly, and the staff in his hand glowed faintly.
"Listen to me."
A soft murmur, almost as if he were talking to himself, escaped Electrolux's lips.
A shadowy figure kneeling behind him quietly rose and gave Ilex a proper knightly salute.
Several beams of light shot out from the staff in Electrox's hand and landed on the shadow.
Shadow Time revealed its true form: a tall knight clad in greyish-white armor. A helmet with two pointed horns obscured the knight's face, a massive shield was slung over his back, and a broadsword was held in his hand, adding to his menacing aura.
"A guardian knight?" Ye Nanxiao blurted out upon seeing the shield behind the knight.
Electrolux glanced at Ye Nanxiao. "Are there also branches of knighthood among the martial spirits of this world?"
"I don't know the classification of knights, but I do know that those who carry shields are generally guardian knights, and there are even knights who carry knight's lances," Ye Nanxiao said, shaking his head.
Especially the king who wields the Holy Lance.
Electrox held his staff in his right hand and inscribed runes in the air with his left. "This was once a Templar Knight I subdued. He slumbered within my staff along with the Legion. However, even with all the rare and precious materials you've collected and all the energy converted, this Templar Knight can only unleash about 80% of his strength, roughly equivalent to a Soul Saint's full-force attack."
"The power of a Soul Saint, Elder Yi, do you have any more powerful soul servants? For example, soul servants like Super Douluo, or even those that can fight Elder Xuan?" Ye Nanxiao asked curiously.
It wasn't that he disliked the Templar Knight, but rather that he was curious about just how powerful the undead under the command of Ilex, the Scourge of the Dead, could be.
Electrolux put away his staff and put his hands behind his back. "Although I have some missing memories, I do have some memories of when I was a member of the Undead Scourge. I once subdued powerful figures like Super Douluo and Holy Knights."
"But it has long been lost. I don't know where the Tower of Eternity has fallen, whether it has fallen into the void or remains in the world I belong to."
"No problem. Once you've recovered, Elder Yi, we'll go capture the Holy Spirit Cult's worshippers and turn them into soul slaves," Ye Nanxiao said with a grin.
He vaguely remembered where Electrox had lost all his equipment and to whom, but he would leave those memories for Electrox to recall himself.
"A Holy Knight is equivalent to a Super Douluo, can he withstand a few blows from Elder Xuan's Taotie Bone?" Ye Nanxiao slowly walked back to his workbench.
"If it's someone that powerful, it would probably require the intervention of someone with the cultivation level of a Divine Knight or a War God." A figure suddenly flashed through Ilex's mind, a figure that seemed to be radiating brilliant light.
The sudden memory left Electrox somewhat dazed. After a moment of stunned silence, he thought, "That person felt so warm...who was it?"
Ye Nanxiao banged on the parts for a long time before realizing that Electrolux was in a daze, and the Templar Knight was also standing still.
"Old Yi? Are you spacing out? Call back your men, you don't need to expend your energy!" Ye Nanxiao raised a wrench and waved it in front of Electrolux.
"Hmm?" Electrox snapped out of his reverie and glanced at the Templar Knight.
"Nanxiao, bring this Templar Knight with you for this competition, let him be your henchman."
"Oh?"
The latest novel is first published here!
Electrolux raised his hand to block the glint of light flashing in the fox's eyes.
Ye Nanxiao tossed aside the wrench in his hand, dashed over to Electrox, rubbed his hands together, and asked, "Elder Electrox, did you give me this Templar Knight?"
The Templar Knights, even though their current strength is only at the Soul Saint level, just by releasing their name, their imposing aura already overwhelms their opponents.
"Based on all your preparations so far, I suspect this will be a very difficult mission for you. My strength has recovered too little; the little I have recovered so far is only enough to summon a soul servant to help you. I will teach you a spell later to contain this knight." As Electrox spoke, his figure gradually blurred, returning to its previous misty form.
The power he has regained so far, aside from what sustains him, is all embodied in this Templar Knight.
Ye Nanxiao's expression turned serious. Electrolux had done everything he could to support him, which warmed his heart.
"Thank you, Elder Yi!"
Electrox nodded slightly and said, "Use your soul magic to establish a connection with this Templar Knight and control his soul fire."
Ye Nanxiao nodded, then immediately sat cross-legged in mid-air, closed his eyes, and began chanting obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations.
Characters were carved out of thin air, arranged to form a spell, surrounding the Templar Knight, and finally merging into his armor.
As the final incantation was recited, Ye Nanxiao felt a profound connection between himself and the Templar Knight before him. With just a thought, he could control all of the Templar Knight's actions.
"Will it be blown up?" Ye Nanxiao asked, tapping the knight's breastplate, but the expected "clanging" sound did not occur.
Electrolux paused for a moment, seemingly calculating the conversion between power levels.
"Guardian knights are known for their defensive capabilities. In addition, the Templar Knight I subdued was a prodigy in his previous life, and he can probably withstand about a hundred blows from a prodigy one level higher in cultivation."
Could someone go toe-to-toe with a peak-level Soul Douluo for a hundred moves?
Ye Nanxiao patted the Templar Knight on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother Knight, please bear with me for the time being!"
"Brother Sheng's muscles are really well-developed!"
The following day, there were five days left until departure.
Ye Nanxiao received the secret report from the capital that day.
"Xu Tianran ordered the Aodu Chamber of Commerce to raise the prices of rare metals across the board, reduce the recycling rate of rare metals, and control most of the essential soul tool items in the other three countries."
"Secretly controlling price fluctuations? Is Xu Tianran trying to use the Chamber of Commerce's influence over the other three kingdoms to incite social conflict?"
Ye Nanxiao burned the secret letter, pondered for a long time, and then issued an order.
A branch of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce secretly split off and acquired a large number of smaller chambers of commerce, awaiting orders.
Four days to go.
The Tang Sect team and the Shrek Academy team practiced against each other. Later in the game, Qiu'er single-handedly dragged the practice match into overtime one-on-one several times, and she and Huo Yuhao had their share of wins and losses.
Day three of the countdown.
The Tang Clan members discovered that an outsider had arrived at the gate: a great shield knight who believed in chivalry and was said to be a fan of Ye Nanxiao, who had come out of admiration.
Day two of the countdown.
Shrek Academy dispatched a Soul Tool Exchange Team, preparing to travel along Maple Leaf City and exchange Soul Tools with the cities of the Sun Moon Empire along the way.
The countdown has just ended.
After a day of rest, the group held a bonfire party at Shrek Academy that night. Ye Nanxiao and Qian Duoduo drank until late into the night, and Qian Duoduo was unable to get up for work the next day.
The countdown has ended.
As the Continental Soul Master Tournament began, the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, Yuheng Tower, and Yingliu all received a encrypted order related to Shrek Academy's Soul Master Exchange Team, instructing them to provide full assistance to the team at any cost.
