Piercing Through The Soul Lord Of The Pit

Chapter 10: Marshal Tianpeng Goes Missing

Wu Feng simultaneously cleared the Goblin Camp and Demon's Lair, collecting resources at an impressive speed. Half an hour later, he had gathered 10 white summoning scrolls.

With enough summoning scrolls, it was time to give it a try.

Instead of doing a 10-consecutive summon, Wu Feng used the white summoning scrolls as a buffer, just like the resource crystals, and saved the 10th draw for a green summoning scroll.

However, this time the result surprised Wu Feng a little.

Out of the 9 white summoning scrolls, he got 5 gray common units, 3 white common units, and 1 white hero. As for the green summoning scroll, he only got a white unit.

[Ding... Ten-consecutive summon (summoning scrolls) successful, triggering the Piercing through the Soul talent. Your infantry quality has increased by 1 level, and you obtained a Swordsman (green).]

Wu Feng looked at the Swordsman, then at the robust white hero. He couldn't help but feel that this hero named A Niu was more powerful than the Swordsman.

"Subordinate A Niu, greetings to Lord!" A Niu saluted Wu Feng with a fist. He was nearly two meters tall, giving Wu Feng a sense of security.

This kind of subordinate, if not considering their attributes, could be taken out to bolster the scene.

Hero Name: A Niu (Hercules)

Hero Level: Level 1 (0/500)

Attack: 20 points

Defense: 12 points

Health: 120 points

Mana: 30 points

Basic Attributes: Hidden [Click to view]

Hero Skill: Mighty Fist (One-star skill) [Click to view detailed attributes]

Wu Feng remained silent for a long time after looking at A Niu's attributes. These attributes were indeed stronger than his, but compared to the combat power of blue units, they were still lacking and didn't have much cultivation value.

Wu Feng felt a bit regretful. If the quality improvement from the ten-consecutive summon had been A Niu, turning him into a green hero, that would have been great. Unfortunately, it was a foot soldier who got to enjoy this fortune.

"A Niu, you will follow me as my personal guard! And you two, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, remember to protect this Lord!"

Wu Feng named the two swordsmen. In the Lord's territory, only heroes would have their own names, while commoners and units often needed names bestowed by the Lord.

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were the names of the bodyguards of a righteous official Wu Feng had seen in a novel or movie a hundred years ago.

Wu Feng was very interested in the nickname "Bao Qingtian." The leader of the dragon-headed executioners specialized in executing members of the royal family and nobles. Just thinking about it was awe-inspiring!

The two named swordsmen expressed their gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Lord, for giving us names. We will follow you to the death!"

Now surrounded by several strong men, Wu Feng felt a bit more imposing when he walked out.

He also reviewed his recent actions, saying, "In cases where it's not a ten-consecutive summon, the quality improvement is determined by the content of the 10th draw, making it less stable."

"Especially with summoning scrolls, the things obtained from green scrolls may not even be as good as those from white scrolls!"

"It's not like a ten-consecutive summon, where the best reward is selected for quality improvement. Summoning scrolls and treasure chest keys are best used for ten-consecutive summons."

"As for resource crystals, green crystals have a more stable output than white crystals, so using them as a buffer is a good method."

Through this experiment, Wu Feng roughly understood the principle of Piercing through the Soul. He also established his own principle: using summoning scrolls and treasure chest keys for a ten-consecutive summon is the way to maximize benefits.

As for Virgo and the Star Tower, Wu Feng didn't need to worry about them. They were steadily clearing goblins and small demons, and for now, they couldn't gather enough treasure chest keys and resource crystals.

Seeing that the territory was relatively stable, Wu Feng divided his attention and went to his private space to take a look.

As a result, he found that his friend request had been bombarded, mainly by two lords who contacted him. One was called [Marshal Tianpeng], and the other was called [Drifting Disconnection].

Both of them were classmates and friends of Wu Feng in reality, and knowing his lord number, they could directly add him as a friend.

After Wu Feng casually clicked "accept," an excited voice immediately came through his ear: "Damn! Xiaofeng, you finally added me as a friend. If you didn't add me, I would have come to your house to see you!"

"I thought you died before achieving victory!"

Hearing this clamorous voice, Wu Feng knew it was Zhu Biyu, also known as [Marshal Tianpeng]. This guy's surname was Zhu, and he had long claimed that he wanted to register the lord ID [Marshal Tianpeng].

Because he believed it was a rare and domineering title for their Zhu family, he had to snatch it. But he didn't consider that the Four Great Classical Novels from a hundred years ago, although not as famous as they were back then, were still well-known works.

How many people would actually want to use the ID [Marshal Tianpeng]?

"Hehe, Zhu Ganglie, you still have the nerve to say that. You even managed to oversleep the opening of the new Abyss. How much can you sleep!?"

"If it weren't for me waking you up in time, you would have missed the first day of the golden newbie period! With your ability to eat and sleep, you're truly a perfect match for the title of Marshal Tianpeng!"

[Marshal Tianpeng] brought [Drifting Disconnection] and Wu Feng into a chat channel, and of course, the one who was crazily mocking Zhu Biyu was [Drifting Disconnection].

[Drifting Disconnection]'s real name was Park Great Emperor. His father hoped that he would become a Supreme Great Emperor in the Legendary realm, but this unlucky kid was called "Drifting Disconnection" by his classmates at school.

In addition, his dream was to become a high-level lord so that he could enjoy the benefits of places like Red Romance and Drifting Fragrance Pavilion. This could be seen from the lord ID he chose.

Anyway, both of these guys were Supreme Grade among the Supreme Grade, and Wu Feng did know their strengths.

"Old Zhu, Hua Ge said you were planning to sleep for a full 42 hours and then enter the Abyss with a hundredfold energy. He probably couldn't have imagined that you could sleep for more than 42 hours!"

Wu Feng was also shocked by Teacher Drifting's words. He knew that Zhu Biyu could sleep, even fall asleep as soon as he touched the bed, but he never expected that Zhu Biyu would oversleep at such an important time!

While others were timing their entry into the Abyss, this guy was still sound asleep in bed!

Zhu Biyu awkwardly smiled and said, "You guys don't understand. This is called conserving energy. After sleeping for 43 hours, I can go online and fight for seven days and seven nights!"

Wu Feng shook his head speechlessly. He had indeed fought continuously for seven days and seven nights in the simulation game, while Zhu Biyu had retreated on the third day.

In order to change the subject, Zhu Biyu quickly brought up another topic: "Brothers! I just received some major news. Do you want to know?"

Seeing Zhu Biyu's expression of "come and ask me, come and ask me, I'll tell you," Wu Feng and Lao Piao exchanged a glance, understanding that Zhu Biyu was "having an episode" again.

The two of them completely ignored Zhu Biyu's topic. Instead, Wu Feng looked at Zhu Biyu fiercely and said, "Old Zhu, did you tell [Qianshan Muxue] about our school's information? Do you know what she sent me?"

Zhu Biyu glanced at Wu Feng guiltily. Because of Wu Feng's relationship, he had also cooperated with [Qianshan Muxue] in the simulation game. When [Qianshan Muxue] asked him for information about a friend, he couldn't help but tell her.

"Brother Feng! My Brother Feng, I was wrong! But tell me, what did [Qianshan Muxue] send you? She seems like a rich woman!"

While apologizing, Zhu Biyu eagerly asked Wu Feng for information.

This guy aspired to be an intelligence broker and wouldn't let go of any information. His ability to collect information was not bad, but his ability to keep it confidential...

Wu Feng always remembered the day when Zhu Biyu tried to sell his "top-secret information" to the brothers. However, because he asked for too high a price, no one was interested. In the end, this guy couldn't help but reveal that the so-called top-secret information was about the female head teacher buying a tentacle tribe male slave and bringing him home.

Just as he vividly described how the tentacle tribe male slave could infiltrate anywhere in the class, he was caught red-handed by the head teacher, who was known as Master Mie Jue.

When Zhu Biyu was taken away by Master Mie Jue, his desperate expression was comparable to that of the neighbor next door. It was only after that incident that Wu Feng learned that he had sold this "top-secret information" to five classes.

The incident involving Master Mie Jue became widely known throughout the school, and Zhu Biyu naturally suffered a miserable fate. However, after Zhu Biyu returned, he never mentioned his experience, which was his most successfully kept secret.

Thinking of this, Wu Feng pursed his lips and remained silent. Zhu Biyu became anxious, scratching his head and cheeks. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Feng, Teacher Piao, I'll tell you the major information I just received, but you mustn't tell anyone else!"

After saying that, Zhu Biyu looked around and whispered, "A three-eyed mixed-blood friend who doesn't want to reveal his name told me..."

Wu Feng glanced at Zhu Biyu and said, "Just say it's [Shifang Juemie], you only have one three-eyed mixed-blood friend."

Zhu Biyu awkwardly smiled and continued, "Still sharp, Brother Feng. You can guess that!"

"He told me that the nine princes of the three-eyed tribe have descended to the 799th level of the abyss with their dragon guards. This time, they are going to stage a drama of the nine princes fighting for the throne!"
