Chapter 181: Iron Pot Stewed Goose
Since the 'Iron Pot Stewed Swan' would take a while to prepare, Wang Teng decided to first clear the newly opened vice copies today.
"Little Xue'er, new God's Trial Lands have appeared. Let's go clear them first."
"Mn."
Qian Renxue nodded. She wanted to keep up with Wang Teng's pace, as the improvements from the God's Trial Lands were indispensable.
Although after reaching higher levels, the enhancements gained from fighting monsters in the God's Trial Lands were slightly insufficient compared to the spirit power needed to level up, they still had to be cleared daily, as they could at least speed up the process considerably.
Looking at the two Abyss Party Challenge Tickets still in his inventory, Wang Teng thought about it.
The drop rate of the five new vice copies wasn't very high, and considering that Lord Origin would be needed to upgrade spirit rings and Spirit Bones in the future, there wouldn't be many opportunities to open magic boxes.
Therefore, he decided to save these two Abyss Party Challenge Tickets until Titled Douluo-level vice copies were released.
Wang Teng and Qian Renxue appeared in the vice copy - Liku Ceiling.
The vice copy environment wasn't much different; the Ten Thousand Year Snow Mountain region always looked covered in ice and snow.
The Martial Soul Fusion Technique - Twenty-Four Winged Seraph appeared, and the two prepared for a quick battle.
Soon, many Bantu warriors appeared in their line of sight in the distance.
Wang Teng sensed that the aura emanating from these small monsters had actually reached the Spirit Douluo level.
Although they were only newly-entered Spirit Douluo, and ordinary ones at that, it showed that the vice copy level had increased, and the monster strength had risen by a significant margin.
At the same rank, the higher the vice copy level, the greater the difficulty.
If it were ordinary Level 83 Spirit Douluo and Level 86 Spirit Douluo clearing this vice copy, Wang Teng estimated there would be no hope.
After all, even the small monsters had reached Spirit Douluo strength, so the elite monsters and vice copy Lord were even more formidable.
Of course, while these small monsters were strong, they were rather unintelligent and had few Spirit Abilities, making their patterns easy to figure out.
However, Wang Teng and Qian Renxue didn't need to; they could simply crush them all the way through.
In the vice copy - Liku Ceiling, besides Bantu warriors, there were also the familiar Frost Goblins and Ice Stone Giants.
Of course, the Goblins and Stone Giants here had much more prestige than the various Goblins and Stone Giants in earlier vice copies, with their strength reaching the Spirit Douluo level.
As Wang Teng expected, the elite monsters—Lightning Stone Giant and Storm Stone Giant—had reached Level 89 Spirit Douluo strength.
Although they still couldn't withstand a single move from the Twenty-Four Winged Seraph, their strength was quite good; in the outside world, they would be absolute experts.
Moreover, Wang Teng could tell with his toes that the vice copy Lord's strength had definitely reached the Titled Douluo level.
After all, even elite monsters could reach Level 89, and the vice copy Lord's template was much stronger than elite monsters, so its strength would definitely be much higher.
This gave Wang Teng some uneasy premonitions.
If a ninth-tier Spirit Douluo-level vice copy's Lord could reach Titled Douluo, then for a tenth-tier Titled Douluo-level vice copy, would the small monsters be Titled Douluo, the elite monsters Level 95 super Douluo, and the vice copy Lord Level 99 super Douluo, or even a god-level being?
If it was the former, it would be fine; Wang Teng would likely be able to handle it even in a solo fight.
But if it was god-level strength, that would be uncertain.
After all, there's a huge difference between newly-entered Titled Douluo and reaching Level 99.
Perhaps when Wang Teng reached Level 99 super Douluo, with a full set of million-year spirit rings and Spirit Bones, he might be able to defeat a god-level vice copy Lord, but as a newly-entered Titled Douluo, he wouldn't have much confidence.
What's more, Wang Teng remembered that his vice copy system was an early version, and there weren't many unreleased vice copies left.
The tenth-tier vice copies should probably have ancient maps.
The vice copy monsters in ancient maps would definitely be much stronger than those in ordinary vice copies.
Shaking his head, Wang Teng stopped thinking about these things. There would be a way when the time came; thinking about them now was useless. He would deal with it later.
From afar, Wang Teng saw the vice copy Lord - Ice Giant Liku.
Lord - Ice Giant Liku, although called a giant, was not overly tall, estimated to be only about four or five meters.
However, its body shape was a bit strange: its two arms were very thick and large, each fist as big as its chest, but its head was tiny, and it had no lower body.
"Little Xue'er, deactivate the Martial Soul Fusion Technique. I want to try my eighth Spirit Ability."
"Okay."
Immediately, the two deactivated the Twenty-Four Winged Seraph.
Before this, due to the powerful strength of the Twenty-Four Winged Seraph, Wang Teng had not applied any buffs, meaning Wang Teng was still in his basic state.
"Eighth Spirit Ability, Hammer of Repentance."
Instantly, divine power surged, and a brilliant golden great hammer condensed in Wang Teng's hand.
This great hammer was tens of meters huge; its sheer size alone could frighten many people.
"Boom!"
The Hammer of Repentance smashed onto Lord - Ice Giant Liku, and instantly, Lord - Ice Giant Liku was directly shattered into pieces.
"Notification: Cleared vice copy - Liku Ceiling, obtained 900 Lord Origin."
"Hmm~, my great hammer, even without enhancement, can smash a Titled Douluo to death?"
Wang Teng nodded with satisfaction. The power of this great hammer was impressive.
He believed that after applying various enhancement Spirit Abilities, a single swing would flatten even a Level 95 Super Douluo, wouldn't it?
"Wow, Wang Teng, why is your hammer so big?"
When Wang Teng pulled out the great hammer earlier, Qian Renxue beside him was startled.
"Hehe, your husband is big everywhere!"
Wang Teng winked at his girl.
"???"
Qian Renxue was a bit confused.
"..."
Looking at the bewildered Qian Renxue, Wang Teng was a bit speechless. Was he driving too fast? Or did his girl simply not have a driver's license?
"Alright, little Xue'er, it seems you can't drive. I'll teach you how to drive later!"
"Drive? What is a car?"
"Hehe, don't worry about what a car is, I promise you'll like it!"
Wang Teng patted his chest to assure her.
"..."
The subsequent four vice copies were as Wang Teng expected; the situations were similar. The small monsters were all newly-entered Spirit Douluo in strength, the elite monsters were top-tier Spirit Douluo, and the Lords had all reached the Titled Douluo level.
However, even the strongest Lord among these five vice copies, Lord - Dog Envoy Mozhen, had not reached the strength of a Level 95 Super Douluo.
This posed no difficulty for Wang Teng; even if the two didn't use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, Wang Teng, having already developed, was not afraid at all, it was just a matter of one hammer.
Because the vice copies were cleared relatively quickly, without wasting time, after exiting the vice copies, the 'Iron Pot Stewed Swan' had just been put into the pot! But for good food, waiting a bit longer was fine.
Inside the City Lord's Mansion.
After the 'Iron Pot Stewed Swan' was served, Qian Renxue couldn't wait to start eating.
It had to be admitted, the taste of this 'Iron Pot Stewed Swan' was indeed excellent. After all, it was a swan with over five hundred thousand years of cultivation, and just the prestige of its name alone immediately elevated it by several grades.
A long while later~, Qian Renxue, full and satisfied, leaned back on her chair in an unladylike manner.
"Wuwu, it was too delicious, what should I do if I want more?"
Qian Renxue looked at Wang Teng.
"Well~, I can't conjure any more now."
The Emerald Swan wasn't large, and this meal had pretty much consumed it all. Wang Teng couldn't conjure any more.
"Alright~"
Although Qian Renxue was a little regretful, she could only give up. After all, fierce beasts over five hundred thousand years old were rare on the entire Douluo Continent and not so easy to hunt.
"By the way, little Xue'er, this time we killed an Emerald Swan. Tell Spirit Hall to pay more attention to the movements around the Star Dou Great Forest. I'm afraid those fierce beasts won't let it go and might launch a large-scale beast tide."
This was something Wang Teng had just thought of.
In fact, beast tides frequently occurred on the Douluo Continent, as Spirit Beasts and humans were naturally hostile.
The launching of a beast tide was often led by high-level Spirit Beasts. High-level Spirit Beasts could release powerful auras to drive lower-year Spirit Beasts elsewhere.
As long as the direction was controlled well, these Spirit Beasts would snowball, growing larger and larger, thus forming a beast tide.
Since Sky City killed Emerald Swan Bi Ji this time, Wang Teng estimated that the remaining fierce beasts would most likely not let it go.
Especially Ditian and Crimson King, Wang Teng knew Ditian had feelings for Bi Ji. Although he didn't know if they were in a relationship now, Ditian's personality was inherently arrogant, and he would definitely not swallow this insult.
As for Crimson King, Wang Teng only learned later that Ying Wan had cut off its 'little brother'. Needless to say, Crimson King must hate Ying Wan to death. It would be the same if it were anyone else, let alone a ferocious beast.
If the fierce beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest launched a beast tide because Sky City killed Bi Ji, those innocent people affected would be wronged. So Wang Teng planned to pay more attention recently.
"Okay, I'll inform Grandpa."
Qian Renxue nodded. Although the number of Spirit Beasts over one hundred thousand years old in the Star Dou Great Forest was not more than human Titled Douluo, in terms of Spirit Beasts under one hundred thousand years old, their number was far greater than human Spirit Masters.
If both sides excluded strengths above the Titled Douluo level, humans would not be able to defeat Spirit Beasts.
Moreover, beast tides were massive in scale. Even without one hundred thousand-year Spirit Beasts, a group of ten thousand-year Spirit Beasts charging over would make even an ordinary Level 95 Super Douluo avoid their sharp edge. This was a classic example of 'ants can bite an elephant to death'.
"Natya, for a while, take the detection crystal ball and go around the Star Dou Great Forest periodically. If there are signs of a beast tide forming, notify me immediately."
"Yes!"
Natya nodded.
Wang Teng was worried that the scale of this beast tide would be too large for Spirit Hall to suppress.
As one of the largest Spirit Beast gathering places on the Douluo Continent, although Spirit Hall had many Spirit Master legions stationed around to suppress potential beast tides, if fierce beasts appeared unexpectedly, there would definitely be heavy losses.
If there was a large-scale beast tide this time, it would definitely be caused by Sky City, and Wang Teng would absolutely not be able to stay out of it.
Although Sky City didn't have many people, it had many experts. As long as the instigators of the beast tide were eliminated, resolving the beast tide would not be difficult.
In fact, the occurrence of a beast tide had both advantages and disadvantages for humans.
Spirit Beasts that were usually difficult to hunt would be easily found during a beast tide. And with more Spirit Beasts, even if the drop rate of Spirit Bones was very low, a considerable amount could still be harvested, at most with slightly lower quality.
Truly considering it, the lives of ordinary Spirit Masters were definitely not as valuable as Spirit Bones, even low-grade Spirit Bones.
