Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 432: Chapter 306: Preparing for Ascension (2)

Man Datou stood next to Wang Wushang, serving as his punching bag. He wore a smile, looking like he was thoroughly enjoying it.

Beside both Wang Wushang and Wang Jun Fist stood a Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Wang Yi’s Divine Bodies were scattered all over the territory. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, with its 1,152 true forms, had also spread itself out, ensuring that nearly every one of Wang Yi’s Divine Bodies had a mount.

Seeing Wang Yi arrive, Man Datou and a group of Soldiers immediately came forward to salute. Wang Yi casually waved his hand and said, "I’m here to grind the War Chariot!"

With that, Wang Yi swiped his right index finger across the spot between his eyebrows. The phantom image of a palace flashed there for an instant, and then Wang Yi’s ancestral Bronze Divine Hall appeared in mid-air. The great doors of the Divine Hall opened, and a Bronze War Chariot flew out.

That Bronze War Chariot was, of course, Wang Yi’s Bronze Vintage Car.

"I am leaving this War Chariot here. Wang Jun Fist, you’ll attack it. Wang Wushang, you’ll repair it!"

Wang Yi said in a deep voice, thinking, ’Since these two Divine Bodies aren’t idle anyway, I might as well use them as labor to grind my War Chariot. Others can’t do this; it has to be me, as my name is on the Protector list, to avoid being punished by the system.’

’The Bronze War Chariot is actually a pretty decent vehicle now, and it’s even become a component of the Bronze Divine Hall. But if I can passively grind it to make its Spiritual Energy continuously stronger, why wouldn’t I?’

In short, times had changed. Now that he had infinite Gold Coins, Wang Yi wasn’t about to personally strike the chariot himself anymore.

"Big Head, you’ve followed me the longest. I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll give you a little something. Here, go have some fun with it."

As Wang Yi spoke, with a flick of his wrist, he tossed a pair of metal bracers to Man Datou. It was an Enhance +6 [Power Bracelet] he had gotten from a Chaos Blind Box, which granted eighty thousand *jin* of Giant Strength.

"Thank you, Master!"

Man Datou equipped the Power Bracelet and immediately felt its profound power. A look of delight spread across his face, and he excitedly went off to practice his fist techniques.

In the General’s Camp—or more specifically, the Manzi Camp—Man Datou was the strongest. His combat power was among the highest in the entire territory, and his potential was immense.

As Wang Yi developed his territory, he would surely need to cultivate experts, and Man Datou was one of his primary candidates.

He was hardworking and talented.

Compared to Man Datou, Yang Qingshan, Yang Wanli, Zhang Lengzi, and the others were clearly a step below. In Wang Yi’s eyes, even if he gave them powerful Reclassification Certificates, their future accomplishments would never measure up to Man Datou’s.

As for Fist Emperor Taisen, one of Man Datou’s subordinates, although he was a High-level King-level combat unit at the very limit of the Mortal Realm, in Wang Yi’s eyes, he was just a mere soldier.

A High-level King’s combat power was nothing in the Starry Sky.

’Perhaps I’ll have a chance to help them break through the King level in the future. It’s never wrong to cultivate more of them; I have enough food, after all...’

As Wang Yi mused to himself, he casually opened a few more Chaos Blind Boxes.

At this point, he was just opening them for fun.

After leaving the General’s Camp, Wang Yi went to the Military Affairs Office.

There were already two Ministers of Military Affairs in the Military Affairs Office. One was Wang Bushi, a battle enthusiast with an outstanding combat record who had accumulated a massive amount of military merit.

The other one was Nangong Jin.

Nangong Jin’s military merit came primarily from recruiting soldiers, making him the lowest-ranked Minister of Military Affairs for now.

Wang Yi had come here specifically to see Nangong Jin.

He gave Nangong Jin some Armor and a large sum of Gold Coins, and they discussed the future of the territory’s military development.

In Wang Yi’s vision for his forces, the bottom tier consisted of the Civilian Militia.

This Civilian Militia was formed from the territory’s residents. It was now under the jurisdiction of the Eco-Castle, primarily handling daily security and guarding the gates of Shanhai Pass. They served as an auxiliary force for managing the territory.

Members of the Civilian Militia weren’t "recruited soldiers" and couldn’t be considered part of the regular army. The true regular army, at its most basic level, consisted of the Fist Emperors, Fighting Gods, Martial Gods, Piano Demons, Evil Gods, and War Gods from the Octagonal Cage.

Through the Evolution Pool, these six types of Soldiers could rapidly gain High-level King-level Combat Power.

Wang Yi gave Nangong Jin full authority over their recruitment, Evolution, training, and subsequent deployment.

Among the six types of Soldiers, the regular troops most worth cultivating were the three thousand Celestial Eagle Warriors, as well as the Divine Wind Warriors, who were managed by Wang Sanmei and trained at the Divine Wind Training Camp.

The Celestial Eagle Warriors also maxed out at High-level King-level Combat Power. Wang Yi valued them greatly for their tactical utility, as they could focus fire from range and possessed great aerial mobility.

The Divine Wind Warriors, on the other hand, grew slowly but could eventually reach Celestial God Level...

In truth, Wang Yi wasn’t particularly fond of the Divine Wind Warriors. He was more interested in powerful teams composed of native classes.

These native classes were the Demon Gun Knights, Heterodox Sword Immortals, Celestial Sword Heirs, and Junior Mages, as well as the hidden White Bone Demon lineage!

All five of these classes possessed Infinite Growth, making their training potential far greater than that of the Divine Wind Warriors.

It was worth noting that the Military Affairs Office had already automatically produced several battle blueprints for Military Intelligence Camps. Nangong Jin had already used them to construct specialized camps to station the Fighting Gods, War Gods, units from the Demon Spear Camp, and the Heterodox Sword Immortals. Their popular names were the Dou Shen Palace, War God Hall, Divine Wind Camp, and Demon Rider Hall.

Combined with the Eastern Depot, Western Depot, and Manzi Camp, Wang Yi’s territory now had a total of seven Military Intelligence Camps.

’Man Datou commands the Fist Emperors; Hai Zhongxian, the Piano Demons and Evil Gods; Yu Hualong, the Martial Gods; Athena, the Fighting Gods; Hatos, the War Gods; Wang Sanmei, the Divine Wind Warriors; Xiang Yun, the Demon Gun Knights; and Qin Mo, the Heterodox Sword Immortals. Those assignments are pretty much set. But the Celestial Sword Heir and Junior Mage units are just getting started, and the Eco-Elites are still finding their footing. An army like this... it’s probably not enough to make a splash in the Starry Sky...’

Wang Yi muttered to himself, then turned to Nangong Jin and said gravely, "Soon, I will use an Ascension Trial Scroll to begin the territory’s ascension trial. All of the territory’s Soldiers will be under your and Zhao Wukang’s command!"

"Ascension Trial?"

"Yes! There is nothing left for us in the Mortal Realm. We are destined for the Starry Sky!"

Wang Yi rose and departed. He still needed to discuss the territory’s Ascension Trial with Jelena, so he made his way to the Eco-Castle.

Upon arriving at the Eco-Castle, Wang Yi handed Jelena a large quantity of items he had recently acquired from opening Chaos Blind Boxes. These included powerful equipment, items to aid Cultivation, and unsealed Reclassification Certificates.

Wang Yi intended for Jelena to handle their distribution.

After discussing the specific details and arrangements for the territory’s ascension with Jelena, Wang Yi headed to the First Dining Hall.

Most of the true experts in Eggshell City could be found in the First Dining Hall.

This place was a den of crouching tigers and hidden dragons: there was Watermelon, whose level had long since surpassed one hundred, making him the highest-leveled person present; Black Beans, who piloted a Mecha with absolute Mastery; Cao Dalang, who looked like a good-for-nothing but possessed immense combat power; the Wine Sword Immortal, who grew stronger with every drink and was perpetually intoxicated; Hu Miaosuan, the Master of All Things and practitioner of Drunken Stealing Celestial Secret; the musician Beruna, who could summon an Undead Army with her songs; Pan Taiji, who grew stronger in his sleep and owned a Nest Battleship; and finally, the astonishingly talented and brilliant Celestial Sword Venerable, Li Ben!

Wang Yi had come to give these "High Ancestors" a large number of items, all of which were recent winnings from his Chaos Blind Boxes.

The First Dining Hall was bustling with activity. It was packed with diners, and most of their conversations revolved around the Fortunate Celestial Sect—tales of who had entered the Celestial Sect, where they had done so, and what had become of them afterward.

Listening to their chatter, Wang Yi realized that in the future, experts might also rise from among the common people of his territory. However, that would take time.

「The next day.」

Wang Yi arrived on the World Line and spoke with Li Bozhen for a while. When it was time to part, Wang Yi told him, "My territory is about to begin its Ascension Trial. If we’re fortunate enough to complete it, we’ll ascend to the Fourth Dimension and become a Royal Court. When that happens, sir, you will no longer need to stand guard here!"

"Ascension Trial?" Li Bozhen cupped his fists. "Then I wish Wang Xiaodi a triumphant victory!"

"I’m off!"

Wang Yi waved his sleeve and departed.

「Half a day later.」

Wang Yi stood atop the summit of Huaguo Mountain, unfurling an object between his hands. It was the [Ascension Trial Scroll].

*Ding! You have used the [Ascension Trial Scroll]. Your territory will now face the seventh, eighth, and ninth waves of the void invasion consecutively. Complete the trial and meet the ascension conditions to have your territory ascend to the Fourth Dimension. Please prepare your defenses!*
