1316 Disciple!
Devil Emperor Bare Brain’s voice wavered as he spoke. It was only a fleeting moment, but it was clearly captured by w.a.n.g Teng.
His expression turned a little strange.
This Emperor No Brain must have misunderstood something.
Even that high-tier devil emperor was shocked by his speed.
!!
“I understand a little!” w.a.n.g Teng decided to play humble.
Bare Brain: …
It sounded casual!
Although not by much, it wasn’t just a little.
This Justin is a bit pretentious!
There was a slight distortion in Bare Brain’s dark domain. He then appeared and walked over. “It’s barely enough to have a small level of understanding. When I was first enlightened, I was around 30% at your level.”
w.a.n.g Teng: …
This No Brain is boasting!
w.a.n.g Teng looked at Bare Brain with a studious look and said humbly, “You’re right, sir. I will work harder and aim to reach your level of enlightenment in an hour. Please continue to guide me.”
“… One hour!” The latter’s face muscles twitched.
Where did this monster come from?
He had previously held the boy’s talents in high regard; still, he seemed to have underestimated him.
The elder was still a little skeptical about the last remark.
Reaching the third level within an hour. Can this fellow really do it?
“Let us see how far you can go, then,” Bare Brain said.
No matter how shocked he was, he had to remain calm on the surface and not be looked down upon.
“Yes, I will not disappoint you sir,” w.a.n.g Teng replied seriously.
A high-tier devil emperor was teaching him personally. Where else could he find such a good opportunity? He had to study hard.
He would run off after learning everything~
Devil Emperor Bare Brain didn’t know what was going on in w.a.n.g Teng’s mind. He felt satisfied, seeing the young one’s eagerness to learn, so he continued to give cultivation pointers to that junior.
One hour later…
“What’s your progress?” Bare Brain asked.
w.a.n.g Teng looked at his attributes’ board and said, “My domain’s power has increased to around 40%.”
Dark Domain: 1450/3000 (third-level)
Although still at the same level, it was indeed stronger than before. It had been a qualitative change.
The main reason for this was Bare Brain suppressing his domain to the third level, and the less than desirable drop of attributes. Otherwise, his enlightenment speed would have been much faster.
Bare Brain didn’t know what to say.
He didn’t expect that w.a.n.g Teng could really do it. Increasing domain power to 40% in an hour. Was this something anyone could do?
If things carried on in such a manner, he would have nothing else to teach after one day.
This made the expert feel some frustration. A devil king, actually dealing a blow to a high-tier devil emperor like him.
“Cough.” Bare Brain cleared his throat and said calmly, “Not bad, 40% in an hour. Let’s call it a day. Go back and continue working; digest and consolidate your gains, but don’t be too hasty.
“You’re my disciple now. Take this token; you can come to see me directly if you encounter any troubles in the future.”
A black token appeared in his hand and he threw it towards w.a.n.g Teng.
“Disciple?” w.a.n.g Teng was stunned and a little curious.
Disciple?
He looked at the token in his hand, and couldn’t figure out what material it was made of. The thing felt cold in his hands, like a block of ice.
The words Bare Brain were engraved on one side of the token, written in dark language; the two strange symbols had an archaic feel to them.
There were a pair of sinister eyes on the other side. One’s spirit would be sucked in if anyone kept staring at them.
Why do these eyes look a bit familiar? w.a.n.g Teng frowned as he thought about it. He couldn’t remember where he had seen them before.
He raised his head and realized that Bare Brain had already disappeared, leaving him alone in that forest.
He was dazed.
Hey, why did he leave like this? Couldn’t he take me along?
He looked around, but he didn’t know where he was, nor which way to go back.
Filled with resentment, he cursed Emperor No Brain’s entire family.
But then again, why did it feel like he was taking revenge?
Moreover, the way Bare Brain had left just then looked a little pitiful, as if he was… escaping.
What’s up with this?
Was he scared away by my enlightenment speed?
The more w.a.n.g Teng thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. Bare Brain’s recommendations moments before… Wasn’t he trying to make him slow down?
Was the man afraid he was learning too fast and would have nothing else to teach?
w.a.n.g Teng felt that he was onto something, and was caught between laughter and tears.
He then shook his head, choosing not to dwell upon it. He turned serious, and recalled the hall where the Bare Brain was.
“There was no trace of the devil ovum.” w.a.n.g Teng frowned. “Did Ukpur lie to me?”
Impossible!
There was nothing wrong with his Enchantment. Their communication hadn’t been broken; it had deepend even. It would have been impossible for Ukpur to lie to him.
If so, there were only two possibilities—
One was that the devil ovum was being kept elsewhere. Bare Brain’s residence was only a cover.
Another possibility was that the devil ovum was there, but he couldn’t find it.
w.a.n.g Teng’s eyes flickered. He decided to find another opportunity to sneak in the following day.
Although extremely difficult in the past, it wasn’t that difficult to find his way in anymore.
w.a.n.g Teng didn’t expect that Bare Brain would personally guide him. Furthermore, it wasn’t inside the great hall, but somewhere outside.
Simply put, the powerhouse had given him an opportunity.
Bare Brain would still guide him the next day. He could have his Devour Nihility Beast clone infiltrate the place, and the chances of being discovered would be low.
He would have an alibi!
It was perfect.
w.a.n.g Teng was amazed by his own planning, silently praising his intelligence.
Afterwards, he could only find his own way back to the devil armor race’s territory.
He finally made it back after spending half a day and almost getting lost in the forest.
He had actually been transported to a place dozens of kilometers away. Emperor No Brain was really narrow-minded, leaving him outside like that. He almost couldn’t find his way.
As soon as he returned, Jarrod went to see him and asked curiously, “Jarrod, what did Emperor Bare Brain find you for?”
“He took me in as his disciple today, and started to guide my domain cultivation,” w.a.n.g Teng replied.
“What? Bare Brain accepted you as a disciple and was teaching you personally?” Jarrod widened his eyes; the red light inside them flashed rapidly, overcome with disbelief.
“He just taught me a few random things. Nothing much,” w.a.n.g Teng said.
“…” Jarrod.
Nothing much?
He was the Devil Emperor Bare Brain’s disciple!
He was so lighthearted and casual about it, as if not caring one bit.
If you don’t care about it, give me the opportunity instead.
Tsk, how pretentious!
Jarrod despised him fiercely in his heart, filled with envy and jealousy. He then walked away while muttering to himself. He wanted to wrest the opportunity away from the other, but he could only think about doing it. Given his talent, Bare Brain would probably ignore him.
w.a.n.g Teng’s expression turned strange.
This devil armor fellow looks like an idiot.
Soon, Jefred was there as well.
Jefred pulled w.a.n.g Teng to a corner and asked softly, “Emperor Bare Brain was looking for you?”
“Yes.” w.a.n.g Teng admitted. He felt at a loss; it had only been some just guidance from a high-tier devil emperor, nothing to make a fuss about.
“What for?” Jefred asked anxiously.
w.a.n.g Teng had no choice but to repeat what he said to Jarrod.
“What? Disciple!” Jefred was flabbergasted.
“Nothing much. He just taught me a few things about my domain,” w.a.n.g Teng responded.
“Nothing much? Haha…” Jefred laughed. He was rendered speechless by w.a.n.g Teng. Then he asked, “Do you know what it means to be his disciple?”
“What does it mean?” w.a.n.g Teng asked.
“It means that you’ll receive Emperor Bare Brain’s protection and resources. Xuelun, the one who attacked you twice, will probably never dare attack you again in the future. There are more benefits; you’ll get to experience them when we return to the Darkland,” Jefred explained.
“Oh? So amazing!” w.a.n.g Teng was stunned. Being a disciple wasn’t as simple as he thought.
“What were you thinking? You don’t know how lucky you are.” Jefred shook his head. “Nevertheless, this is a good thing. You have to hold on to this chance and not make Emperor Bare Brain angry.”
“Understood.” w.a.n.g Teng nodded.
“Well, that’s it. Cultivate well; don’t worry about patrolling in the future,” Jefred said.
His att.i.tude towards w.a.n.g Teng was much better than before, as if regarding the latter as the future of the Devil Armor Race.
Being on the Bare Brain’s side meant that Justin’s future would be absolutely extraordinary.
“Thank you sir,” w.a.n.g Teng said.
Jefred took a deep look at w.a.n.g Teng and left without saying anything else.
w.a.n.g Teng stood there, speechless.
His status was elevated, yet again!
He was suddenly made a disciple, and even the mid-tier devil emperor Jefred was paying more attention to him now.
Being a disciple was even more remarkable than he had imagined.
However, he didn’t pay attention to Jefred’s thoughts. He was a fake, not someone from the Devil Armor Race. He would run away once he was done. Who would care about this?
w.a.n.g Teng put this matter behind him and prepared to plan for his infiltration ops the following day.
Before long, a vampire apparition paid him a visit.
“I heard that you became Emperor Bare Brain’s disciple. This is a gift from Sir Xuelun,” said the envious-looking vampire, handing w.a.n.g Teng a gray bag.
“Gift?” w.a.n.g Teng was a little stunned.
A gift from Xuelun?
Seriously? Was he that kind?
w.a.n.g Teng opened the bag and saw a pile of dark red crystals lying quietly inside. They were Blood Demon Crystals.
Looking at the quant.i.ty, there were at least fifty thousand of them, which was more than what he received before.
