775 A Strange Meteor! (1/2)
”Yes, I've broken through…” Wang Baole paused and felt it somewhat inappropriate to speak. After all, his Heaven Shaking Divine Justice Shield was only at the sixth level and hadn't reached the eighth level.
So fast? Fairy Ling You was listening to her subordinates' reports. Although she was surprised at first, she didn't have time to probe further. Besides, she instinctively thought that the breakthrough Wang Baole was referring to was him refining the Heaven Shaking Divine Justice Shield to the second level.
After all, he had only refined the first level half a month ago. Although him breaking through to the second level in just half a month shocked her, she thought that Long Nanzi wasn't famous within the Holy Crest Sect for nothing. He did indeed have some ability.
In addition, through Wang Baole's unconfident tone and words when asking for more access rights, Fairy Ling You immediately made a judgment. She knew that Wang Baole had failed too many times, buying the maximum amount of materials his original access rights allowed him to and still barely succeeding. So naturally, it was difficult for him to buy the materials needed for the third level, meaning he needed increased access rights to continue.
Thinking to this point, Fairy Ling You spoke.
”Fine, I've increased your access rights. Keep working hard.” The original impatience in her tone decreased. She gave Wang Baole a few words of encouragement, and her attitude towards him improved. However, she didn't care about him that much. In her eyes, no matter how good Long Nanzi's foundation was, it wouldn't be that easy for him to refine the Heaven Shaking Divine Justice Shield up to the third level.
But looking at it this way, he is definitely full of potential. After praising Wang Baole, Fairy Ling You ended the call and looked towards her several perfected Soul Conduit realm subordinates.
”Alright, continue speaking. The commander of the eleventh ranked Hidden Spirit Legion, Lord Ling Tao. Are you sure he has achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation?”
The one reporting in front of Fairy Ling You was the demure lady that Wang Baole previously met. She nodded after hearing Fairy Ling You's question and spoke softly.
”We have confirmed it. Lord Ling Tao has indeed taken a huge step forward in his cultivation. Although he hasn't reached your cultivation level, Commander, he is still among the False Immortals. I'm afraid his breakthrough will trigger a series of chain reactions. There's a huge possibility that his breakthrough will serve as a catalyst to broker an alliance with other armies and cause some disruption to the Ice Phoenix Legion's promotion efforts.”
Lord Ling Tao… A cold glint flashed between Fairy Ling You's eyes. She didn't care whether he broke through to the False Immortal realm or not. But breaking through at this time did affect the promotion of the Ice Phoenix Legion somewhat. After all, her true goal was becoming the fifth-ranked army. Once she succeeded and replaced them, the benefits would be extremely huge.
Similarly, if the original fifth-ranked army were to be replaced, it would naturally fall out of the top five and suffer equally shocking losses. So it couldn't be helped that they would team up with other armies to prevent this. If that Lord Ling Tao didn't achieve a breakthrough, it couldn't affect them. After all, to the other armies ranked behind them, no matter how the rankings changed, they would still be in the top ten.
But the breakthrough of Lord Ling Tao changed the situation. If the three armies ranked seventh, eighth, and ninth weren't careful, they could be squeezed out of the top ten. In this situation, they would definitely be on high alert.
So in this battle, although the army commander's cultivation and the army's strength were important, there was also a need to handle diplomacy with the outside world carefully.
But Wang Baole didn't know about these things that gave people headaches when thought about. Even if he did know, he wouldn't care that much. At this moment, after obtaining the sufficient access rights, he immediately traded for a large amount of Spirit Tempering Leaves and continued refining his Heaven Shaking Divine Justice Shield.
Several days later, under Wang Baole's research and unwavering dedication, when the number of runes on his Heaven Shaking Divine Justice Shield reached 50 thousand, the shield's level broke through, reaching the seventh level!
A Dharmic treasure at the seventh level like this could be considered rather trenchant among Spirit Immortals. After all, its reflect strength had reached up to 35 percent. That was especially so considering it looked like it was only at the third level under Wang Baole's adjustments. This meant that this treasure would definitely surprise opponents. If they were unprepared, they would definitely suffer huge losses.
But Wang Baole wasn't satisfied. This was because he knew that in the refinement of the Heaven Shaking Divine Justice Shield, a true bottleneck would appear after reaching the seventh level!
For the eighth level, there were some areas he didn't understand. He had a feeling that if he refined it by force, his rate of failure would be near 90 percent. This made Wang Baole pause, his furrowed brows not unfurrowing for a long time.
They are the Divine Eye civilization's three greater sects after all… their requirements for artifact refinement are so horrifying! Wang Baole sighed. The more he thought, the more he felt that the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect was scary. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration.
This Divine Sovereign Justice Sect is way too perverted. The Dharmic treasure used to test disciples already has this level of difficulty. Are they for real… Wang Baole couldn't help but have some suspicion.
No, I can't just suspect that others can't do it just because I can't do it currently. Wang Baole took a deep breath. After brushing away his suspicion, determination appeared in his eyes, and he immersed himself in his research of the eighth level of the Heaven Shaking Divine Justice Shield once again.
