1315 What Does Justin’s Master Have to Do With Me?
Actually, making trouble wasn’t important. The main purpose was to complete the mission perfectly.
w.a.n.g Teng didn’t have duties that day so he had ample time.
However, just when he was planning to evade his devil armor brethren and sneak into the building encrusted on the Obelisk Scale Dragon Beast’s back—the devil mind apparition who took over a wind element fairy’s body suddenly appeared in front of him.
w.a.n.g Teng was stunned, wondering the reason for that fellow to look for him.
!!
Many thoughts crossed his mind. He started making all sorts of guesses.
He was Justin from the Devil Armor Race now, so he was supposed to not know the other fellow. Thus, he pretended he didn’t recognize the fellow.
“Justin, this is Sir Brumberg who serves Devil Emperor Bare Brain. He’s looking for you; I’ll be leaving now so you can talk among yourselves,” said Jarrod before leaving.
Looks like Devil Emperor No Brain is looking for me! w.a.n.g Teng thought.
“So, you’re the famous Justin who’s become quite popular as of late.” Brumberg sized up the armored junior with a frown. This muscular guy looks extremely ordinary. Why does Sir view him differently?
Considering abilities, Brumberg felt he was much stronger.
That junior merely defeated a genius from the vampire race. Nothing to write home about.
Furthermore, he was a talent from the devil mind race, Bare Brain’s kindred. Why was the devil emperor thinking highly of someone from a different race?
It didn’t make sense.
w.a.n.g Teng’s gaze flickered as he replied calmly, “Yes.”
“Follow me, you lucky devil armor kid.” Brumberg didn’t realize that the armored young man was the very same human who had chased him relentlessly. A tinge of jealousy flashed past his eyes as he turned and led the way.
w.a.n.g Teng blinked. A hint of joy appeared in his eyes.
Based on what the other said, it wasn’t hard to guess he was being taken to see Devil Emperor No Brain.
Am I this lucky?
He got what he wanted, instantly!
The goal was to sneak into No Brain’s lodging, but now he didn’t have to; No Brain sent someone to take him there.
He didn’t have to worry about being discovered, and was able to blatantly walk in.
What a beautiful coincidence.
w.a.n.g Teng remained calm; he pretended to hesitate a little to appear like a newbie.
“Follow me. The devil emperor wants to meet you,” said Brumberg with a frown and a cold voice.
This armored youngster is this stupid? What did the devil emperor see in him?
w.a.n.g Teng nodded in secret. No more hesitation: he stopped hesitating and followed Brumberg silently.
“Hmph!” Brumberg snorted and led the way.
The pair entered the building on the Obelisk Scale Dragon Beast’s back and reached the top level. Then they found a ma.s.sive hall.
The lofty and tall Bare Brain was sitting on the throne, right in the middle of the hall. He placed one arm on its proper armrest and then cradled his head, as if taking a nap. A faint black mist floated around him, making it hard to see his appearance.
“Sir, Justin is here.” Brumberg bowed at Devil Emperor Bare Brain respectfully.
“All right.” A heavy sound came out of his nose as he gradually opened his eyes. A pair of pitch-black and deep eyes stared at w.a.n.g Teng through the mist.
w.a.n.g Teng’s heart pounded furiously. Devil Emperor No Brain seemed capable of seeing through him with his eyes. He felt nervous.
System, please hold on!
w.a.n.g Teng shouted in his heart.
Fortunately, Devil Emperor No Brain didn’t notice a thing. The inspecting look disappeared, then he waved his hand at Brumberg. “You can leave first.”
d.a.m.n it!
The devil emperor has a new pet.
“Yes!”
Brumberg was unwilling but he didn’t dare to show it. He could only bow obediently and leave the hall.
w.a.n.g Teng looked at him strangely.
Why is this devil mind fellow acting like an abandoned wife?
Was I seeing things?
Strange!
He didn’t think too much of it, and placed his focus on Devil Emperor No Brain again. The latter was a high-tier devil emperor; he couldn’t afford making any mistakes.
He would be toast if he accidentally exposed himself.
He glanced at the powerful apparition in silence, and was astounded by what he saw.
Bare Brain was controlling an extremely powerful body. However, he was shrouded in a black mist; it was impossible to tell what race the body was from.
Alas, his Eyes of Essence weren’t able to peer through the black mist to see what was underneath. Even the Spiritual Sight was useless; he only had a faint perception of the other party’s power.
“Justin!” Bare Brain’s voice floated down from somewhere high up.
“Sir!” w.a.n.g Teng replied respectfully.
“Your talent is not bad. Do you want to have my guidance?” said the Devil Emperor with indifference.
“??” w.a.n.g Teng was stunned.
What does he mean?
Have his guidance?
Is he planning to make me his disciple?
Jefred had only mentioned that the mighty apparition was paying special attention to him; he didn’t say he wanted to guide him personally.
This was a little sudden.
Many questions appeared in our hero’s mind. Things were getting out of control.
Devil Emperor Bare Brain wanted to take him in as his disciple? General Cameron and the others would never believe him again if they learned of this, and would label him as a dark apparition for life.
Round Ball felt speechless when it heard those words.
A high-tier devil emperor wanted to take w.a.n.g Teng in as a disciple, to personally guide him. Could things be more absurd?
“No?” said Bare Brain calmly.
w.a.n.g Teng touched his chest with his hand and replied hurriedly, “Of course, it would be my honor to have your guidance.”
Who cares if they believe me? It would be stupid to pa.s.s up this benefit.
Also, what does Justin’s master have to do with me?
His conscience was clear. He would always be a human on the side of light.
“…” Round Ball was speechless.
Where’s your dignity?
“Good.” Bare Brain nodded in approval. He’s straightforward. “I will guide you to make your domain stronger. Domain control is more important than you think.
“Has Jefred mentioned the Blood Sea Domain?”
“Yes.” w.a.n.g Teng nodded.
He recalled Jefred’s briefing, and his curiosity grew since Bare Brain mentioned it.
Is there something special about the Blood Sea Domain?
“That domain is powerful, but it’s not undefeatable,” replied Bare Brain.
w.a.n.g Teng’s interest was piqued, and he kept on listening.
The powerhouse continued, “Any domain will undergo a unique transformation when played to the extreme, including the most ordinary dark domains.”
“Please enlighten me.” w.a.n.g Teng’s curiosity was still rising. He continued with his humble acting.
His domains were at the third and fourth levels. It was an incredible feat; however, this was just the start, according to the formidable warriors.
There were still many things he didn’t know about domains.
Given that Bare Brain was so forthcoming to enlighten him, he would give it a proper listen.
“Follow me.” Bare Brain waved a hand and sent a spatial wave fluctuation.
w.a.n.g Teng’s heart skipped a beat, but he didn’t resist; his vision became blurry. He blinked and opened his eyes, only to realize he was no longer inside the great hall. He was up in the mountains.
Was that a skill of this high-tier devil emperor?
That was a spatial skill, right?
Something like teleportation.
Indeed, the s.p.a.ce skills of a formidable universe stage being were more powerful than a heaven stage martial warrior.
If the universe stage ice fairy—who went there to kill our hero—hadn’t been careless, he wouldn’t have escaped so easily.
w.a.n.g Teng was flabbergasted. His self confidence collapsed.
d.a.m.n it!
Staying away from universe stage experts in the future would be for the best.
His current s.p.a.ce talent would very likely fall short when facing those powerhouses.
Devil Emperor Bare Brain stood in the distance. His voice floated over. “What are you thinking?”
“I’m in awe of your power,” w.a.n.g Teng replied honestly.
“Not bad. You acknowledged that you’re weak,” said Bare Brain, “Now, let me show you the real domain transformation.”
The instant he finished speaking—a strange fluctuation flowed out from his body, causing the whole environment to change.
His surroundings turned pitch-black. w.a.n.g Teng felt a little anxious as he couldn’t even see his hands.
d.a.m.n it, I’m inside this guy’s domain.
He would be doomed if the other party saw through his ident.i.ty.
“Your domain is at the third level, so I’ll suppress mine to fight at that level with you. You’ll be able to sense the difference during the fight,” said the Bare Brain, his voice coming from around him.
w.a.n.g Teng took a deep breath and told himself to calm down. Then, he executed his third level domain in an attempt to break the other’s domain.
Suddenly, his expression changed. He was appalled by what he found.
His domain couldn’t break through, at all.
He knew that Bare Brain’s domain was also at the third level for the spar. In that case, why can’t I break this guy’s domain?
It was the first time w.a.n.g Teng met that situation in a domain fight.
“Attack my domain,” Bare Brain said.
w.a.n.g Teng took a deep breath and activated the power in his dark domain. Dark force gathered and shot towards the other’s dark domain.
However, right when he clashed with Bare Brain’s domain—the power was sucked into the darkness. It felt more like aiding the opponent than attacking.
“What do you feel?” Bare Brain asked.
w.a.n.g Teng fell into deep thought; the other’s domain was indeed superior.
He would normally use brute force to propel the power of his domain and attack the enemy head on. His domain was attained through the system, so it had a strong foundation. Hence, it was powerful in most cases.
But, it was nothing when encountering formidable universe stage warriors.
His domain focused on quant.i.ty, while those of the latter were of a higher quality, presenting a stark difference.
Imagine two planets of the same size. One was soft and loose, while the other was compact. The loose one would definitely shatter should they collide.
But, it was complicated to bridge the gap; enlightenment was required. He would be clueless without guidance, and a lot of time grasping this would be needed.
w.a.n.g Teng felt exasperated.
His talent for finding enlightenment was quite strong, so he could feel something was there. However, he would need more time before he could have a complete grasp of the new paradigm.
He then saw attribute bubbles emerging from the other party’s domain. His eyes lit up.
There are bubbles!
Collect!
Dark Domain*80
Dark Domain*50
…
Enlightenment flowed into w.a.n.g Teng’s mind. He digested and absorbed.
It was also a dark domain attribute, but the bubbles dropped by Bare Brain were more profound.
Instantly, w.a.n.g Teng saw the full picture. The understanding of his dark domain went up a notch.
So this is it. w.a.n.g Teng’s eyes s.h.i.+mmered. He finally understood why Bare Brain’s dark domain was stronger than his.
He didn’t reply to the devil emperor. Instead, he used the newfound knowledge and modified his domain.
“Huh?” The Devil Emperor Bare Brain felt a little disappointed when the little fellow didn’t reply, thinking that the latter’s intelligence wasn’t as high as he thought. But, he was stunned by the change in the young one’s domain.
Our hero ignored the other’s surprise and kept making changes, his domain inching closer to the expert’s level.
Still, he had to stop after some time pa.s.sed. There was a limited drop of attribute bubbles, limiting his enlightenment. They weren’t enough.
Bare Brain’s voice was heard again. “You… understood it?”
w.a.n.g Teng wondered if his mind was playing tricks on him, but the expert didn’t sound as calm as before.
