Chapter 52 – Gifting A Treasure (2/2)
Lei Yu swallowed hard. This wasn’t something he expected at all, but since this was said in the presence of so many people, then it would not be false. In reality, people like Nuo Yi Long and the elites of Dragon Team weren’t that surprised. Lei Yu’s strength was enough to exceed Instructor Fan Hong Chang already, so there’s no big deal in becoming a Deputy Commander. At least in the eyes of all the soldiers inside Dragon Group, Lei Yu had already become their idol.
“If you can actually win this match?!” Shangguan Xi Hong’s voice suddenly became louder, “I will promote you to the rank of a Commander of Dragon Group, alongside with Nuo Yi Long!”
“Woaa!”
A collective voice of people cried out penetrated through the clouds. Shangguan Xi Hong’s voice was quite loud, allowing all the soldiers around the training field to hear very clearly. All the soldiers were staring up wide eyed at the building where the higher-ups were sitting.
“How can that be?! No way no way!” Lei Yu hurriedly waved his hands, but then he realized, wasn’t he being too arrogant right now? Nuo Yi Long was a late-stage Fifth Order Warrior rank, how would he be that easily defeated?
Sure enough, Shangguan Xi Hong laughed, “little Yu, you can not underestimate Nuo Yi Long. Even though his strength cannot be compared to the leaders of the major forces in the country, but inside the country of Tenglong, he is considered one of the top masters.” Without any shame, Shangguan Xi Hong painted himself as one of those supreme masters.
No one would believe that Lei Yu had broken through to the strength of a Fifth Order Warrior. Lei Yu also did not disclose this information, even Nuo Hu and Liu Hao did not know.
Those with the strength of the Fifth Order Warrior would be considered by the major forces as a prized possession, everyone would try to steal and fight over them, and this was happening for Lei Yu. If he was able to reach such strength at such a young age, then his future would be limitless. But in the eyes of everyone, this was something that was simply impossible.
“Little Yu.” Fan Hong Chang came over and laughed, “able to serve as the Deputy Commander of Dragon Group is already one of the highest honors for many people, yet you are not satisfied with that?”
“How could I not be satisfied Instructor Fan, stop making fun of me.” Lei Yu scratched his head.
“And now for the main event…” Shangguan Xi Hong interrupted their conversation, smiled and said: “No matter win or loss, I will gift you a treasure.”
“What kind of treasure?” Lei Yu’s spirit immediately perked up. Now this was the most practical thing instead of some position.
After saying this, Shangguan Xi Hong’s palm briefly flashed. From an unknown place, a dark blue box appeared in his hand. “It is this treasure; it’s called a Spiritual Energy Bead.” While taking out the bead, Nuo Yi Long, Nuo Yi Feng, Fan Hong Chang and the dozen plus elites were staring straight at it filled with envy.
“Spiritual Energy Bead? What can it do?” Asked Lei Yu.
There’s a reason why Lei Yu did not know about this item. This Spiritual Energy Bead had some history, and it happened before Lei Yu joined the Dragon Group.
It was during a mission that Shangguan Xi Hong attained this bead. To an ordinary person, this bead would just be a decoration to them. But for cultivators, this bead was an absolute priceless treasure.
But unfortunately, Shangguan Xi Hong’s family members were unable to use it, which made them quite depressed. Perhaps their family’s cultivating methods with the Spiritual Energy Bead were mutually inhibited, or else he would not be so generous in giving it to Lei Yu.
“As the name of the Spiritual Energy Bead suggests, it gathers spiritual energy into the bead. When you cultivate with this bead in your possession, you put it between your legs or elsewhere, as long as it’s close to your dantian, the spiritual energy you absorb in the air while cultivating will become more refined and pure. Although it cannot fully purify everything in the air, but at least it will save you the trouble for your body to naturally purify it. “Shangguan Xi Hong looked at Lei Yu, but he did not see the surprised reaction he was expecting.
“Thank you uncle Shangguan!” Lei Yu faintly smiled. If one did not know the power behind Lei Yu, then they would think he did not fully comprehend the words Shangguan Xi Hong said, but does Lei Yu still need such a thing at all?
