Chapter 1660 - Bai and Teng Ran, Now Elevated to Become Lords

Chapter 1660: Bai and Teng Ran, Now Elevated to Become Lords

After seeing Epic Player off, Lin Huang eagerly entered the virtual realm again and refined the three Kingdoms he had just obtained.

After this round of refining, the number of god sequence chains his Godly Right could contain went up to one hundred and fifty-three thousand six hundred chains. The total number had increased to four hundred and nine thousand six hundred chains.

As for the total number of god sequence chains in the God Territory within him, they had increased significantly from over six hundred and thirty thousand chains to seven hundred and eighty thousand chains.

Lin Huang’s abilities also received another round of boosting.

After returning from the virtual realm to the great world, he patiently waited for Yang Ling to unlock the storage rings.

To kill time, for lunch that afternoon, he specifically picked a restaurant with excellent reviews and which required queuing up for entry. The queuing alone took up one and a half hours.

Lin Huang returned to his hotel room after lunch. Just as he was about to take a nap, he suddenly sensed familiar auras approaching.

The instant Lin Huang sensed this, someone knocked on the hotel room door the next second.

When he opened the door, he saw it was Bai and Teng Ran.

What surprised him was that Bai and Teng Ran had already elevated to ninth-rank heavenly god-level. They had even surpassed the speed of Kylie’s combat strength elevation.

“The speed of your combat strength elevation…”

“We entered the Abyss,” Teng Ran said, his expression rather helpless. He even specifically glanced at Bai, who was standing beside him, before he made his reply.

“…” Lin Huang was utterly bereft of speech. “Both of you really have some nerve.”

One must know that even Lin Huang would not go into the Abyss as he pleased despite his current level of ability.

“We were only hunting in the middle layer, and if we sensed any unusual fluctuations in the Abyss, we retreated immediately,” Bai explained calmly as if it were something not worth mentioning.

Naturally, Lin Huang was aware of Bai’s anxiety. Bai had been trying his best to catch up with Lin Huang in the hopes that he could be Lin Huang’s right-hand man. However, the gap between their abilities had kept increasing to the point where the imperial monsters could no longer battle Lin Huang’s enemies.

However, Lin Huang also knew it was sheer luck that Bai and Teng Ran had managed to come back safely.

Based on the timeframe that Bai and Teng Ran had elevated to supreme god-level rank-5, they must have entered the Abyss earlier than Lin Huang. Their exit from the Abyss ought to have been around the same time as Buried Heaven and his group.

During that period, the Abyss just so happened to be in a state of hibernation.

“The fact that both of you survived at all is pure luck alone.” Lin Huang’s tone contained a hint of reproach. “The Abyss happened to be in a period of hibernation.

“The God Territory’s earlier expedition to the Abyss probably awakened many Abyssal powerhouses. When the two of you get out of closed-door cultivation this time, don’t go to the Abyss again. Monster Paradise’s revival function has limitations. If the two of you are killed by Lords, you’ll really die.”

“No wonder the number of monsters in the Abyss suddenly started increasing…” Teng Ran muttered quietly.

From beside Teng Ran, Bai remained silent. It was not clear if he had taken Lin Huang’s words to heart or not.

“Alright, come with me.” Lin Huang summoned up the door to the God Territory with a mere gesture after he finished speaking. He led both the imperial monsters into the Great Heaven Territory.

When they arrived in front of the Great Heaven Palace, Teng Ran looked left and right, scrutinizing his surroundings.

Bai, on the other hand, remained silent. He merely glanced at the three-legged Golden Crows, then turned his gaze away.

After pushing open the door and entering the Great Heaven Palace, Teng Ran could not help questioning Lin Huang when he noticed that there was no one inside.

“Master, hasn’t Lancelot’s team come yet?”

This was a subject that obviously mattered to Bai as well.

“They’ve completed their elevation and already left some time ago.”

When he said this, Lin Huang deliberately stole a glance at Bai to see his reaction. As expected, Bai’s change of expression indicated that he was definitely affected by the news. However, this was only visible on his face for a brief moment before he erased all traces of it from his expression.

“So soon?!” Teng Ran’s expression was full of confusion which he did not bother to conceal at all.

“The Great Heaven Palace has the power to accelerate time. Time flow in here can be sped up to ten thousand times faster than the outside world,” Lin Huang explained patiently, “According to the time flow in the outside world, the two of them used approximately twenty minutes or less to elevate from rank-4 to rank-6.”

“How about their combat strength? It shouldn’t be higher than both of ours, right?” Teng Ran persisted.

“Before they elevated, it was definitely lower than yours,” Lin Huang said with a smile.

The penchant for men making comparisons with each other was vividly on display at the moment.

Teng Ran’s lips curled slightly. “They’ve elevated to ninth-rank now after their advancement?”

“The three of them have already broken through to lord-level now,” Lin Huang told them the truth straight away.

Teng Ran’s expression froze abruptly.

As for Bai, a mixture of emotions including shock and astonishment flickered over his face.

Although Bai tried his best to hide his expression, Lin Huang still caught that look very clearly.

Lin Huang observed the interesting expressions on his imperial monsters’ faces, then smiled and said, “Don’t worry. Both of you will be able to elevate to become Lords later on too.”

“You mean… the surprise…?” Bai immediately recalled something after hearing what Lin Huang said.

“You’ll find out in a while.” Lin Huang preserved the secret for now.

Since it was a surprise, naturally, he did not wish to reveal it in advance.

After asking the two of them to sit with their legs crossed and regulate their breathing to its ideal state, Lin Huang crushed two Advance Cards, which entered into Bai and Teng Ran’s bodies, respectively.

The Advance Cards he used at present were slightly different from the ones he had used on Kylie previously.

When he elevated Kylie, he had used five grade-5 Advance Cards. Actually, Xiao Hei had set restrictions on the cards to limit the imperial monsters’ abilities and to make Lin Huang work harder to obtain cards.

In reality, the functions of five Advance Cards could entirely be integrated into a single card.

Once the authorization limits were lifted, naturally, he no longer needed to use five cards.

It was also after the restrictions were removed that Lin Huang had discovered how much he had been exploited.

After he observed the two cards turning into stars and entering Bai and Teng Ran’s bodies, and their forms rapidly becoming swaddled in cocoons, Lin Huang activated the time flow acceleration in the Great Heaven Palace to ten thousand times once more. He then departed from the palace and returned to the Ricky Star.

This time, he only waited for about ten minutes at most. He had only sat on the sofa for a little while, watching the news, before he sensed tremors coming from Great Heaven Palace. He then returned to the Great Heaven Palace again.

After seeing that Bai and Teng Ran had broken out of the cocoons and their auras were vastly different now, Lin Huang did not bother checking through their card information. Straight away, he told the two of them, “Now you can receive your surprise.”

When he finished speaking, the two Lord Elevation Cards in his hand had already turned into two streams of light that entered Bai and Teng Ran’s bodies, respectively.

Lin Huang only began looking through Bai and Teng Ran’s cards after he returned to the Ricky Star from the Great Heaven Palace.
