Chapter 235: Dominion Formation Token
Lu HaiKong was eager to participate in this so-called competition for two reasons. Firstly, he was intrigued by the prize, Qi Qi Ge, a woman with top-tier talent and exceptional beauty.
It wasn't that Lu HaiKong was indifferent to beautiful women, but her assertiveness, especially towards him, had been off-putting. However, if the roles were reversed and he held the upper hand while she was subservient, Lu HaiKong found the idea much more appealing.
Aside from this, Lu HaiKong also wanted to gauge the strength of these Hun tribes and, at the same time, hone his Basic Axe Technique. He hoped to improve it to level thirty-five during the tournament.
With this in mind, Lu HaiKong eagerly accepted the challenge. After achieving his goal, the Elder Chief left, but not before decreeing that Qi Qi Ge to stay in a separate tent from Lu HaiKong until the tournament. Given Lu HaiKong's current physical condition, no one would suspect him of any untoward intentions.
After the Elder Chief's departure, Lu HaiKong immediately closed his eyes and began practicing the Purple Aura Ascending Dragon Technique to recover from his injuries. The tournament was set to take place in five days, enough time for Lu HaiKong to regain his fighting prowess. The only concern was that he hadn't brought his Ghost Mask Axe, but it wasn't a pressing issue; if needed, it would be delivered to him within five days.
Qi Qi Ge watched Lu HaiKong as he meditated with bright, curious eyes.
She didn't seem to regret falling into the Elder Chief's trap; instead, she became even more intrigued by Lu HaiKong, as he exuded an air of mystery.
After calling out to Lu HaiKong several times without response, Qi Qi Ge stomped her feet in frustration and turned to leave. Before departing, she instructed her maid to stay outside the tent, perhaps to ensure Lu HaiKong's safety.
As Lu HaiKong continued his meditation, night fell quickly. After a few hours of practice, his injuries had significantly improved.
This state of meditation seemed to enhance the effectiveness of the Purple Aura Ascending Dragon Technique, and in a short time, his skill level increased significantly. The only drawback was that it felt like it was extracting his potential, which might become an issue if continued for an extended period.
When Lu HaiKong emerged from his meditative state, he found a figure kneeling quietly by his blanket.
Lu HaiKong, who had been in a meditative state, was still alert and would have noticed anyone entering the tent.
However, Ma Pen's arrival went unnoticed, and Lu HaiKong found it strange. Upon waking, he saw a figure where there should have been none, and instead of being surprised, he felt it was only natural.
"How long have you been here?" Lu HaiKong asked as he struggled to get up.
"I just arrived, my lord," Ma Pen replied, his long, thin face, usually shrouded in gloom, now softened by Lu HaiKong's presence, revealing a gentleness only found in his company.
"Much faster than I anticipated," Lu HaiKong smiled and paused.
Regarding Ma Pen, Lu HaiKong couldn't help but feel a sense of equality, as Ma Pen had endured much hardship to assist him in his training.
The training period for the Shadow Guards was only two months, which wasn't particularly long. However, the training process was a hellish ordeal for both the trainer, Ma Pin, and the Shadow Guards themselves.
Initially, Lu Hai Kong had acted on a whim, but it had subjected Ma Pin to excruciating pain, leaving Lu Hai Kong feeling incredibly guilty.
"My lord, I've made the necessary arrangements. With your command, we can immediately eliminate this tribe!" Ma Pin, upon seeing Lu Hai Kong's injuries, immediately displayed a surge of killing intent. Although this tribe had a considerable number of members, Ma Pin was confident in his ability to carry out the task.
"Why eliminate this tribe? I have other matters to attend to here for a few days. Oh, and have someone bring me the items I left at the ranch. Also, bring some ginseng and other supplies. And prepare some writing materials; I need to write a letter to Wang Jun."
Lu Hai Kong was still curious about what the Legendary Chest might contain. As soon as he saw Ma Pin, he brought up the topic. After receiving Lu Hai Kong's order, Ma Pin nodded and left the tent.
Lu Hai Kong knew that Ma Pin hadn't truly left; instead, he remained like a shadow, guarding Lu Hai Kong's surroundings.
Ma Pin's arrival signified the presence of the Shadow Guards, ensuring Lu Hai Kong's safety even without fully recovering from his injuries. With Ma Pin around, Lu Hai Kong slept soundly that night.
As the one who helped Lu Hai Kong master the dark power, Ma Pin was undoubtedly the most loyal and devoted to Lu Hai Kong. He executed Lu Hai Kong's commands to the letter. The moment Lu Hai Kong issued his command, the next day, when Lu Hai Kong woke up, the items he requested were already by his bedside.
It seemed that the Legendary Chest had yielded only one item, a token resembling a plaque. Lu Hai Kong was aware of this, but he didn't know the purpose of this token.
Upon seeing the token on his bedside, Lu Hai Kong picked it up and immediately cast an Appraisal Skill on it.
Dominion Formation Token
Item Type: Dominion Item
Item Effect: After defeating the leader of a force, this token can be used to gain absolute control over their subordinates.
Usage Requirement: The target force must be smaller in scale than a Large Fort.
When Lu Hai Kong saw this item, his pupils constricted, and he instantly recognized its incredible power from the brief description.
"I had planned to return after capturing that woman, but it seems there's much more potential here."
A gleam flashed in Lu Hai Kong's eyes as he contemplated for a moment. Then, picking up the pen and paper on the side, he wrote a brief letter to Wang Hao, informing him of the situation. He then instructed Ma Pin to deliver the letter.
Lu Hai Kong then took the ginseng that Ma Pin had brought, which had been traded from Qiang Yin and was already dried and chewed on it directly. The dried ginseng was incredibly hard, almost like iron, but Ma Pin had somehow processed it, making it easier to consume. Lu Hai Kong swallowed it in a few bites and then began a new round of cultivation...
