Chapter 722 A Small Breakthrough… And Punishment! (1)
The martial warriors from the three troops felt a little exasperated. The survivors were kneeling down! This wasn’t the result they had expected. The martial warriors from the Zhenli Clan had taken too many lives. Even killing them was too easy a punishment for them. However, they chose to throw their guts away and surrender. The martial warriors from the three troops were from the military, so they couldn’t kill anyone that surrendered.
All the martial warriors from the three troops looked at Zhou Xuanwu, w.a.n.g Teng, and Xiao Nanfeng. They were the only people who could make the decision.
If the three chief commanders asked them to kill, they would slaughter the martial warriors from the Zhenli Clan without any mercy.
Zhou Xuanwu, w.a.n.g Teng, and Xiao Nanfeng glanced at one another. They conversed using voice transmission. All the martial warriors from the Zhenli Clan were nervous. Their lives were in the hands of these three chief commanders.
More and more martial warriors surrendered as time pa.s.sed. A small portion was unwilling to give up, but they knew that they had no more chance. They couldn’t even escape.
Once they made a move, the martial warriors from the three troops would kill them mercilessly. They understood this from their cold gazes.
Hence, none of the martial warriors from the Zhenli Clan dared to move. They didn’t even want to test their luck.
Very soon, the three chief commanders arrived at their conclusion. Zhou Xuanwu walked in front of everyone and ordered in a cold voice, “Anyone that puts down their weapons will be spared!” “Sigh!”
All the martial warriors from the Zhenli Clan heaved a sigh of relief. They felt lucky that they were able to remain alive.
w.a.n.g Teng looked at the martial warriors. Although he had arrived at the decision with the other two chief commanders, he still found it a pity. These were all attribute bubbles. It would be a waste to let them go.
Unfortunately, the decision was made. He couldn’t say anything. The future of these martial warriors from the Zhenli Clan wouldn’t be good anyway.
Did they think that surrendering was the end? More torture was waiting for them. Well, at least he knew they would be sent to suppress the dark apparitions…
“Tie them up!” Zhou Xuanwu scanned the crowd and gave his order.
The martial warriors from the three troops tied up the captives. These rune handcuffs were able to seal the Force inside a martial warrior’s body. The stronger the martial warrior, the more powerful the rune handcuff used.
General-stage martial warriors would be given rune handcuffs specially made for them. No one could escape easily. Hence, once the person was cuffed, they were the same as a normal guy. The martial warriors from the Zhenli Clan were extremely obedient. They cooperated well. No one dared to resist.
w.a.n.g Teng stopped looking at them. Their subordinates would take care of this matter. It had nothing to do with him.
He finally had the time to pick up the attribute bubbles scattered around the battlefield.
Many martial warriors from the Zhenli Clan were killed, including close to ten general-stage martial warriors. Thus, there were lots of attribute bubbles dropped by them.
Some of the military martial warriors were also sacrificed, so this added more attribute bubbles to the battlefield.
w.a.n.g Teng stopped hesitating. He released his spiritual power, and the attribute bubbles flew toward him.
Metal Force*120
Wood Force*310
Fire Force*250
Spiritual Realm Enlightenment*35
Earth Force*330
Spiritual Realm Spirit*20
Spiritual Realm Enlightenment*40
If all these attribute bubbles were beauties, w.a.n.g Teng would be swimming in a sea of them. He would be enjoying himself thoroughly. Other people couldn’t experience his happiness.
His metal Force rose because he had received a large number of metal Force attributes from the pope. Now, the other Forces increased greatly too.
It wasn’t just the metal Force this time. His other four basic elements were also affected. The acc.u.mulation of all the attribute bubbles allowed his basic element Forces to increase by more than ten thousand points. It meant that at this moment, the Forces of his basic five elements had reached the 12-star general stage.
This speed was astonis.h.i.+ng.
If other people knew how much his ability had risen, they might be thunderstruck. Metal Force: 13800/35000 (12-star)
Wood Force: 2550/35000 (12-star)
Water Force: 1860/35000 (12-star)
Fire Force: 1300/35000 (12-star) Earth Force: 3150/35000 (12-star)
A rise in the realm would cause a huge disturbance. However, w.a.n.g Teng suppressed it forcefully.
A vast amount of Force swarmed around his body. Soon, it landed in the Force nucleus, and his body regained its calmness.
The entire process ended almost instantly.
Ordinary martial warriors might not notice anything, but Zhou Xuanwu was at the peak of the general stage, and he was close to w.a.n.g Teng. Naturally, he felt something.
He stared at w.a.n.g Teng in surprise and asked, “Did you just achieve a breakthrough?”
“A small one.” w.a.n.g Teng used his thumb and index finger to show how small it was.
Zhou Xuanwu was speechless. If he was right, that violent fluctuation would only occur when someone rose in level. Although it was suppressed, he had been through it before, so he knew.
At the general stage, any breakthrough was difficult. Even more, this was a rise in the realm.
