Chapter 168: Chapter 157: Fall of a King, Love’s Iron Fist

The Golden Recruitment Scroll’s function was similar to the Purple Recruitment Scroll Wang Yi had obtained before. It could be used to randomly recruit up to one hundred golden soldiers, each with Four Skills. Wang Yi used it on the spot and immediately received another system notification.

"Ding! Congratulations, you have recruited 88 Dark Night Elves.

The Dark Night Elf is a strange, Half-Energy Body magical beast. The golden ones are King Level, which is quite rare. They possess the Four Skills: [Coiling Collection], [Magic Self-Detonation], [Natural Radiance], and [War Ancient Tree].

They are close to nature and can wrap themselves around trees. Each one can provide one unit of virtual wood per day. Activating Magic Self-Detonation can dispel some of the magic from all units within a 50-meter radius and remove their magical effects. The Natural Radiance ability can heal trees and accelerate their growth.

Dark Night Elves do not need to be fed, nor do they need sleep. They move slowly and have no combat power. Their life force is quite fragile. When faced with mortal danger, they can unleash their full potential and undergo an Incarnation into a War Ancient Tree.

The Incarnation into a War Ancient Tree is an irreversible process. The War Ancient Tree has two forms, Ancient Tree Rooting and Heavy-Armored Treant, and can devour trees to restore its vitality. Its overall combat power is rated as Elite-rank."

At that moment, 88 golden Dark Night Elves materialized out of thin air on the scorched earth below, amidst the swirling ash and smoke. They had no hands or feet and looked like golden spheres of light, each about 10 centimeters in diameter. They floated there, not looking like living beings, yet they were.

Inside the Galaxy Airship, Wang Yi finished reading the Dark Night Elves’ Attribute Information on the territory management panel. He felt like he’d just gained 88 farmers who could gather wood without harming trees, which he thought was pretty decent.

He ordered Frank to land the Galaxy Airship and then went back to opening the Golden Supply Treasure Chest.

This Golden Supply Treasure Chest was quite luxurious. Wang Yi quickly obtained a golden and a purple blind box, a golden and a purple Chaos Egg, ten High-Level Chaos Crystal Stones, and 50 tons each of refined rice, Berries, Potatoes, and Radishes.

The refined rice, Berries, Potatoes, and Radishes took up a lot of space and wouldn’t fit in the Galaxy Airship, so they were dispensed onto the ground below. They appeared in sacks and baskets, neatly stacked next to the 88 Dark Night Elves.

Wang Yi wasn’t concerned about the food. He was gleefully admiring the golden and purple blind boxes and the golden and purple Chaos Eggs in front of him.

But when he saw the Attribute Information for the two Chaos Eggs, he was greatly disappointed.

The Purple Chaos Egg could hatch a greedy, lecherous, alcoholic, and hot-tempered Dwarf Guard.

The Golden Chaos Egg could hatch a despicable, shameless, untrustworthy, selfish, and stingy Female Finance Officer!

’Subordinates like these, stacked full of debuffs? I don’t need them!’

And so, he shoved the golden and purple Chaos Eggs into the back of his storage.

’Chaos Eggs are unreliable. If you want to strike it rich, you have to rely on blind boxes!’

Striking while the iron was hot, Wang Yi quickly cupped his hands in a salute toward the golden and purple blind boxes and said, "They say purple is epic and gold is legendary. Now, let’s see what you two can do!"

With the "ritual" complete, Wang Yi opened the Purple Blind Box first. Five options appeared on the selection panel before him.

====

One: Old Overlord Learning Machine (Blue, Enhance +1)

Two: Book of Horror Stories (Blue, Enhance +2)

Three: Lord Skill Book (Purple, Enhance +3)

Four: Chaos Egg (Blue, Enhance +4)

Five: Green Giant Handmade Doll (Purple, Enhance +5)

====

’These five items are pretty interesting. Which one should I choose?’

Wang Yi rubbed his chin.

’The Old Overlord Learning Machine... just from the name, I’m very curious!’

’The Book of Horror Stories... I wonder if it has any strange attributes.’

’The Green Giant Handmade Doll is pretty interesting too.’

In the end, however, Wang Yi chose the purple Lord Skill Book with Enhance +3.

"Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained [No-Harm Attack Skill Book +3]. This Skill Book is a special item, automatically bound, and cannot be traded."

The Skill Book that appeared before Wang Yi radiated a deep purple light, looking quite extraordinary.

Wang Yi reached out and touched it, using the Skill Book and acquiring the [No-Damage Attack +3] skill.

====

Skill Name: No-Damage Attack

Description: No-Damage Attack is a special status skill. Consume Chaos Energy to enter the No-Damage Attack state. When attacking, every blow will land solidly yet avoid the enemy’s vital points, inflicting a No-Damage Attack.

Skill Effect 1: [Healing] +2. The Chaos Lord’s No-Damage Attack has a healing effect. The enhancement also works on non-living entities, manifesting as repairing mechanical failures, restoring old items, etc. The enhancement adds detoxification, exorcism, and debuff removal effects.

Skill Effect 2: [Endurance Training] +1. The Chaos Lord’s No-Damage Attack has an endurance training effect. Targets struck by the attack will slowly increase their damage resistance. The enhancement adds a very small chance to achieve a breakthrough when being hit.

Skill Effect 3: [Refreshing]. The Chaos Lord’s No-Damage Attack can quickly refresh the target, making them feel energetic and comfortable.

Note 1: No-Damage Attack is a status skill and cannot be used simultaneously with other skills. It is limited to unarmed attacks. After entering the state, it will consume 1 point of Chaos Energy per second.

Note 2: No-Damage Attack has the effect of increasing loyalty. Please explore the specifics on your own.

Note 3: This is a special skill and cannot be upgraded.

====

Wang Yi was stunned for a moment.

’Hitting people without harming them, and it can also heal them, refresh them, detoxify them, increase their damage resistance, and even help them achieve a breakthrough!’

’This is a No-Damage Attack?’

’This is clearly Love’s Iron Fist!’

’With this skill, won’t I have to moonlight as a doctor and a sparring partner? The hidden effect of increasing loyalty is pretty good, though... Oh well. When I have nothing better to do, I can use this Love’s Iron Fist on my underlings. I can just treat it as exercise. That’s not too bad!’

Wang Yi believed you can never have too many skills, so having one more was definitely not a bad thing.

Just then, the Galaxy Airship shuddered slightly. The All-Purpose Driver, Frank, reported to Wang Yi, "Boss, the airship has landed. The surrounding area is filled with swirling ash, like the apocalypse. It doesn’t seem like a place we should stay for long. I recommend we evacuate as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Wang Yi glanced outside the airship. It was just as Frank had said. Swirling ash filled the air, blotting out the sun. Liu Nan’s corpse was still erupting like a volcano. It really wasn’t a place to linger.

’There’s still a golden blind box I haven’t opened... Ah, whatever. Time for an intermission!’

Wang Yi put the golden blind box away.

’Opening these blind boxes requires a sense of ceremony. I can’t be careless or casual about it. That would affect my luck!’

Wang Yi now planned to check on Mr. Jin’s condition. Maybe he could even trigger a new plotline.

Just then, Wang Bushi, still carrying the Spear of Destruction on his back, tried to run outside again. Wang Yi hurriedly grabbed him. "Son, you’ve already blasted the enemy to death. Where are you going now?"

"There’s still another old monster out there! I’ll go blast him too!"

Wang Yi knew that the "old monster" Wang Bushi was talking about was the giant Flaming Ascetic, but that Flaming Ascetic was clearly under Mr. Jin’s control!

"Son, that old monster is an ally. Spare his life and let your father go talk to him!"

Wang Yi calmed Wang Bushi down and then walked out of the Galaxy Airship.

Outside the airship, the swirling ash was blinding, blotting out the sun and turning day into night.

Wang Yi couldn’t help but cover his mouth and nose.

When he saw the large amount of supplies in baskets and sacks nearby, and the 88 Dark Night Elves getting covered in dust, he immediately gave an order. "My son, Undying, go and get things settled! Have the small train come over and command everyone to quickly pack up these supplies. Who knows what will happen in this damned place. We can’t stay long!"

"Yes, sir!"

Wang Bushi cupped his hands and acknowledged the order. Like a little general, he immediately began directing the scene.

The Dark Night Elves had no hands or feet, so they couldn’t carry or lift anything. To move the supplies, they had to rely on the Beastman Lady and the group of Soldiers by the small train in the distance.

Wang Bushi had Frank use the Galaxy Airship to rally the troops, and no one dared to disobey.

Just a moment ago, when he had bombarded Liu Nan, the kilometer-long Flaming Giant Spear had bloomed with fury, like a divine punishment. Frank had seen it clearly, and so had the group of Soldiers by the small train. Who would dare act presumptuously in front of him?

Even Fish-Transformed Dragon and Hai Zhongxian were completely respectful toward Wang Bushi.

When this kid got impulsive, he really dared to fight to the death. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Meanwhile, Wang Yi pushed through the swirling ash to find Mr. Jin.

In the distance, streams of green light flew out from Liu Nan’s ruined corpse. They were like an aurora, connecting to the giant, hundred-meter-tall Flaming Ascetic and seeming to flow into its body.

But the Flaming Ascetic’s body began to shrink rapidly.

By the time Wang Yi reached him, he had already transformed back into Mr. Jin. He was slumped weakly on the ground and even coughed up blood, appearing to be severely injured.

"All things burn, and in the end, turn to ash (Jin)! Liu Nan has reached their end. Their ecosystem is destroyed and has been absorbed by me. And now, my own end is coming soon!"

Mr. Jin saw Wang Yi approaching. He forced a smile and said, "Go, quickly! Leave this place! ’They’ will erase me and use Liu Nan’s remains to destroy all living things in this valley!"

But Wang Yi replied, "I have the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles. I might be able to save your life!"
