Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty One – Good that Came With the Bad (2/2)
“What? Mountain Dragon Corps is this embarrassing?” an one-eyed mo wolf shouted. His gaze was vicious, his face set in a snarl, scars crisscrossed his face and caused him to appear intimidating.
In this Eminent Mountain Jie, this one-eyed mo wolf’s reputation was feared. He wasn’t just the leader of the biggest group of bandits, he was also the boss that was most famous in Eminent Mountain Jie.
Eminent Mountain Jie was ruled by bandits. This was a famed home of bandits and the number of bandit groups were in the thousands.
The merchants that passed by didn’t dare to travel through this region, and due to the fact there were no large factions in the surroundings, no one came to rid the area of bandits. Over time, Eminent Mountain Jie became a true den of bandits. They raided in all areas and all of the business routes in the surroundings were within their raiding area.
The more daring bandit groups would even travel to raid places further away.
In Eminent Mountain Jie, there was only one kind of mo that could survive, bandits.
Hearing that someone had come to Eminent Mountain Jie to show off, the one-eyed mo wolf couldn’t accept it.
“Boss, that group is really strong! They probably aren’t from an average battalion. There aren’t many of them, about one hundred and so,” the subordinate said cautiously. He had not seen the battle personally and all the intelligence he had had been learned from the lucky survivors of Mountain Dragon Corps.
“Mountain Dragon Corps? Those trash!” the one-eyed mo wolf said disdainfully. “They are all cowardly! This kind of trash is an embarrassment to our Eminent Mountain Jie.”
The one-eyed mo clearly was talking as though he was the master of the jie.
Viciousness flashed through his eyes as he snarled, “Even those proper battalions do not dare to come to our territory to make trouble! Just a hundred people, such daring! They really think they are something!”
The subordinate perceptively did not try to urge otherwise. He was clear about his boss’ fiery temper. The boss hated matters that lost his face the most. If he was not perceptive, he wouldn’t be able to keep his head.
“Go! Tell the other corps, I’ll give a space to whoever exterminates this group on the next trip out!” The one-eyed mo wolf narrowed his one eye and said in a deep voice.
The subordinate was filled with sympathy towards this group of people that had charged into Eminent Mountain Jie. They were finished! With Boss throwing this prize out, there wouldn’t be a speck of these one hundred people left.
The one-eyed mo wolf was the strongest in Eminent Mountain Jie. Only he dared to attack the highly defended cities. Every time he went out on a city raid, he would come back with great prizes that the other factions were deeply envious of. The rule of the one-eyed mo wolf was that whichever bandit group performed a great service would be allowed to participate in the raids. This was a great business!
These people were really pitiful.

Zuo Mo woke up from his tranquil state. When he opened his eyes, a light flashed across them.
The feeling of being filled with explosive power was so familiar that he almost assumed he had recovered to his peak! He lightly shook his head, pia pia pia, a string of pops occurred from his neck down to his tailbone.
An unprecedented feeling of comfort filled his body.
Zuo Mo’s eyes brightened and his joy was hard to disguise. The shen power inside his body had not reached his peak but his present shen power was more pure and condensed than it was in the past!
He tried to turn shen power into the three powers, and there were no hindrances. What made him happier was that at almost the same moment he thought about it, the shen power had turned into the three powers. The entire process almost didn’t have any pause, and was much greater than the process in the past.
The good that came with the bad!
He really got something good this time with the bad!
The three powers that came from the purer shen power was much purer than before. Zuo Mo had a feeling that he was just a thread away from a breakthrough.
This breakthrough wasn’t a breakthrough in a single field, but in all areas! Ling power, mo physique, spiritual consciousness, they had all reached the border of a breakthrough.
What made him even happier was that he had a strong confidence he would have a successful breakthrough.
He raised his right hand. The whirlpool of power had shrunk by only a third, and the rate of spinning was slower than before. But it was still growing and not long in the future, it would recover to its previous form.
Zuo Mo suddenly became excited. The whirlpool in his right hand was like a shen power spring that could continuously provide shen power for him. If he persisted in taking shen power from it, his shen power would keep growing.
His rate of improvement would become astounding!
Zuo Mo was filled with confidence. Looking at the wooden A Gui, he couldn’t help but go forward and ruffle A Gui’s hair. He muttered excitedly, “A Gui, A Gui, I succeeded! I really succeeded!”
A Gui’s warm and raven-black long hair was turned into a pitiful bird’s nest. However, she did not react and only looked at Zuo Mo.
That pair of dim and grey-white eyes seemed to be shrouded in mist.
Ka Zhuo was gaping. In that instant, the strong pressure that Zuo Mo exuded almost pushed him to the ground.
This … .. this world had changed too quickly … …
There wasn’t anything that could give a person more confidence than power. Having recovered the majority of his strength, Zuo Mo was even more composed and calm. He did not continue to extract shen power. He hadn’t completely absorbed the shen power he had just taken. It would probably take two to three days before the process would be complete.
He decided to look at that young female mo.
As to Ceng Yi, a hint of battle spirit flashed across Zuo Mo’s calm face. He was going to give the other a great surprise!
So what if he was at the general level!
Translator Ramblings: Sure, having an exploding bomb for a hand is good. Ever think what happens if you can’t absorb the power for some reason?
