Chapter 176: Subsequent Missions
The other Ghost Slaves were left to train on their own in the periphery.
Although they were still easily injured when facing the Terracotta Army, with some undead attributes present, Lian Yun could absorb more spiritual liquid during their rest periods, allowing them to recover on their own.
As a result, since they could at least cut the mission time in half, Lian Yun was no longer in a hurry and began practicing his sword techniques during the battles.
Lian Yun had considered that perhaps the faster he completed the mission, the better the rewards would be. However, he chose not to dwell on it too much now.
This place had subtly become a training ground for his Ghost Slaves.
Ever since he realized he could earn two hundred thousand Gray Spirit Coins, Lian Yun understood that his cleverness had led him astray because of his insufficient strength.
He had been overthinking and worrying too much.
Thus, Lian Yun suddenly found himself less concerned about the rewards of this Hidden Mission. His sole focus was on improving his own strength and that of his Ghost Slaves.
After a night passed, Lian Yun initially planned to send Shihai Yong and Bai Yuancheng away to assist Ma Wenlong and others in hunting Grizzly Bears. However, he ultimately decided to have them return to the Yin-Yang Stage to absorb and digest the Purple Qi as much as possible.
In the blink of an eye, evening arrived. Lian Yun left the Cave and returned to the vicinity of Old Village Chief in the novice village.
Old Village Chief looked at Lian Yun with an inexplicably bright gaze.
Lian Yun was unsure if this was a predetermined reaction or just his own feeling. He didn’t pay it much mind and instead found a house, paying one Gray Spirit Coin for three nights of lodging. Afterward, he entered the house, letting all the combat Ghost Slaves come out for some fresh air while he sat down to meditate and absorb spiritual liquid.
The atmosphere beneath the Cave was truly stifling. Even Lian Yun, after spending some time inside, felt a sense of restlessness creeping in. It was even worse for the Ghost Slaves, whose tempers were already hard to control.
Especially Chen Er Gou, who was on the verge of losing his sanity by the end.
Letting Big Head and the other Ghost Slaves out served two purposes: first, to allow them to breathe some fresh air and calm their agitated minds; second, because nighttime was naturally a time suited for Spirits to be active, and it seemed that Yin Yang City had an even better atmosphere, perfect for Spirits to cultivate.
Early the next morning, Lian Yun sought out the Old Village Chief to re-enter the Cave, and then it turned into a fierce battle that lasted until evening.
From this, it seemed that Lian Yun's fighting time was quite limited; however, that was not entirely true. His rest in the novice village was almost equivalent to absorbing Spiritual Energy beforehand. Thus, during battles in the Cave, the time needed for him to recover his spiritual power was significantly reduced. Essentially, his resting time was just waiting for the Ghost Slaves to absorb enough energy and fully recover.
Moreover, in just two hours, regardless of how indifferent Lian Yun appeared, he had completed one-third of his mission and earned three hundred thousand Gray Spirit Coins.
Upon entering the Cave for the third time, Lian Yun felt fearless and commanded all the Ghost Slaves to fight beneath the stone pillars.
He assigned Big Head to keep an eye on Chen Er Gou since Big Head was regarded as second only to Lian Yun in Chen Er Gou's mind. With Big Head around, Chen Er Gou could somewhat rein in his frenzied emotions.
The others fought independently to improve themselves.
In the fourth instance, Lian Yun let Hei come out as well. Hei had reached a bottleneck in transforming Supreme Power and could not break through. Therefore, Lian Yun decided that perhaps fighting would lead to a breakthrough.
Transformed into a two-meter giant dog, Hei's combat strength was nearly on par with Yang Zai Xing's. It specifically targeted the outer Horse-Drawn Carriages.
Engaging fiercely with thirty Horse-Drawn Carriages alone, Hei fought with great enthusiasm.
However, Chen Er Gou was extremely concerned, as the battle with Black was quite wild.
Wildness and madness are often separated by a fine line, yet they are fundamentally different. Chen Er Gou became somewhat entranced by the spectacle, which left Big Head flustered for a while as he helped block numerous attacks.
Seeing this, Lian Yun set down the attacking pillar and approached Chen Er Gou, offering his first piece of advice: "This is the difference between madness and wildness. Wildness requires weapons and strength. Sword Mountain has powerful fists, while Black has sharp claws and a gaping maw. What do you have?"
"Ergou, you can be fierce and charge forward, but wildness does not suit you. Continue fighting and find a combat style that fits you."
Chen Er Gou bowed to Lian Yun without saying a word and resumed fighting.
Chen Er Gou treated Lian Yun's words as sacred; regardless of right or wrong, he would follow them.
"Boss, why don't you just tell Ergou that this style suits him?" Big Head asked whenever he had a moment to lean on Lian Yun's head.
Lian Yun smiled slightly and replied, "As long as it comes from me, Ergou will follow it without question. However, even if it's correct, if he doesn't comprehend it himself, training will be incredibly difficult. Only by finding a combat style that suits him will he be able to improve quickly in the future. Big Head, don’t slack off; keep an eye on him."
To be honest, Lian Yun had a special fondness for Big Head, akin to that of lovers rather than siblings. Therefore, Lian Yun never placed any demands on Big Head. For instance, he had never asked him to achieve anything in battle.
Not only because of his size but also due to his limited combat talent aside from his leadership abilities. Nevertheless, Big Head worked hard; even though he lacked combat gifts due to his stature, he was now much stronger than ordinary Spirits of the same rank.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that other Spirits respected him greatly and willingly acknowledged him as their leader.
The fourth battle had not yet reached its halfway point when Shihai Yong and Bai Yuancheng emerged.
The Two Ghostly Beasts were inherently powerful, and although their realms had been compressed, their strength had only increased.
With the new reinforcements from the Two Ghostly Beasts, Lian Yun could have confidently attacked the stone pillar. However, he chose instead to turn his attention to the Terracotta Army.
To be honest, while Lian Yun could endure the monotonous daily attacks on the stone pillar, he felt a bit frustrated that he had gained no insights into the Chaos Sword Technique he wanted to create.
Now that he was sufficiently strong, Lian Yun decided to use these immovable Terracotta Army figures to practice his swordsmanship.
However, while the Terracotta Army could move slightly, they remained largely unshakable. Attacking them felt no different from attacking the stone pillar.
If he wanted to practice his footwork, the Terracotta Army's movements and attacks were too simplistic.
In short, the Terracotta Army here was not suitable as training targets for Lian Yun, which left him feeling quite vexed.
'This is clearly my mission.'
By evening, Lian Yun left the Cave on schedule and found Ma Wenlong, Song Hansong, and Tian Shou waiting outside.
