786 The Right to Form an Army! (1/2)
Hearing the two words ”sow goodwill”, the silhouette of the Federation Head Senator's daughter appeared in his mind. So he swept his gaze up and down Fairy Ling You unwittingly…
I, Wang Baole, am not that kind of person! Wang Baole found it unbelievable. A pure man like himself must have been corrupted by some strange consciousness.
So he took a deep breath and quickly deliberated about how to reply to Fairy Ling You about the good bond. Truly, before Fairy Ling You came, Wang Baole had already started pondering about his Divine Justice Shield when he returned to his cave abode.
He was very clear that although his Divine Justice Shield seemed powerful, its effectiveness would decrease by a lot against Spirit Immortals. Even though it could still reflect their attacks, it was probably impossible for the reflection strength to reach 170%. As the external force became more powerful, one couldn't rule out the possibility of it falling apart.
So… although it was valuable, it was far from heaven-shaking. That made it obvious why it caught the patriarch's fancy. Other than this Divine Justice Shield catching everyone off guard during the battle, there must have been other factors that caught the attention of the patriarch.
If I analyze it this way, everything becomes simple. What really caught the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect patriarch's attention should be the stacking method contained within the Divine Justice Shield's creation process! Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and weighed its value in his heart.
He didn't mind giving away the stacking method because he had already hit the limit by using the stacking method up to level seventeen. Besides, he already had a more refined thought process that would allow him to break through the previous limit during production. It would allow the Divine Justice Shield to reach a higher level, and it would also pose quite a threat to Spirit Immortals in theory.
So using the previous method to trade for something aligned with Wang Baole's judgment. After thinking, Wang Baole raised his head to look at Fairy Ling You, who was looking at him and didn't display even a tinge of impatience.
”What do you suggest, Commander?”
Hearing Wang Baole's words, there was a slight disturbance within Fairy Ling You's eyes. Although her voice was still icy, the speed at which she spoke remained slow. She softly said, ”The right to form an army!”
When Wang Baole heard that, his heart beat faster, and he felt as though he had been read like a book. That was because forming his own army was indeed his original plan. He was just very clear that it was extremely difficult to get this right within the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect.
After all, the right given by the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect, compared to forming an army in one of its affiliated sects, was completely different in terms of meaning and purpose. For example, if an army from one of the affiliated sects wished to initiate a challenge match, they needed to pay a huge price and go through layers of bureaucratic red tape before their request would be accepted.
But if the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect gave the right, his army would be considered an upper sect army. If he wanted to challenge another upper sect army, all he needed to do was apply. Although he would still have to pay a certain price, there was a huge difference.
So, in Wang Baole's judgment, if he wanted to get the right to form an army in the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect, it was pretty hard to do so with just the stacking method of his Divine Justice Shield. However, since Fairy Ling You offered her help and wanted to sow goodwill, with Wang Baole's intelligence, he could naturally see that… she must have been really confident of success before giving that suggestion.
Thinking to that point, Wang Baole took a deep breath, took two steps back, faced Fairy Ling You with cupped fists, and bowed deeply!
”Thank you, Commander!”
”Fellow Daoist Long Nanzi, I will try my best to make that happen. But I also have a request. I hope that after you succeed, you will make a hundred Divine Justice Shields of such a level for the Ice Phoenix Legion. In return… How about I help you find a way to achieve a small breakthrough in your cultivation?” Fairy Ling You looked at Wang Baole attentively. She was very clear that someone who was able to create a Divine Justice Shield of such a level would definitely be sought-after by every army in the future.
However, this man wasn't the kind of person who would be willing to work under someone. Helping him obtain the right to form an army meant creating another competitor for herself, but that was a future threat. Right now, everything was unknown. At the same time, she had sown this seed of goodwill. It might come in handy if they needed to fight in the future.
Meanwhile, if she didn't help him get that right, then if he were to be recruited by another army, he would pose a threat to her in only a short period of time. So after making her request, Fairy Ling You spoke again.
”If I can help you achieve all of this successfully, I hope you can serve the Ice Phoenix Legion as a vassal. I also hope that your army and the Ice Phoenix Legion can become steadfast allies. Don't worry, Fellow Daoist, the position of a vassal is different from normal positions. You won't be restrained unreasonably!”
Taking a deep look at Fairy Ling You, Wang Baole had no reason to reject her. So he nodded solemnly and thanked her again. At this point, the conversation between the two of them could be said to have ended. Fairy Ling You wasn't used to communicating with people anyway, so she left.
Seeing Fairy Ling You leave and gazing at her graceful figure, many thoughts appeared in Wang Baole's mind. Although the Divine Eye civilization wasn't that great and most of its cultivators were selfish, there were still sincere and genuine ones after all.
