Chapter 21: High Quality Talent! Level Seven Corpse Soldier!

At the Black Blade Security Company, beneath a modest three-story building, Wang Yong arrived yet again. The burly guard stopped him as usual.

Wang Yong shouted at the top of his lungs, "Brother! I have something critical to tell you—a matter of great importance!"

From the upper floor, curses and complaints rained down. "Damn it! Wang Yong, just because you're my cousin doesn't mean I have to give you face. You've already interrupted my work twice!"

Wang Gangjian poked his head out from the window, his face flushed with anger as if his arduous efforts had been abruptly disrupted. Wang Yong bellowed, "It's about the high-level zombies!"

"Then come up," Wang Gangjian snapped.

Moments later, Wang Yong was sitting across from Wang Gangjian. "Bro, why are you still battling the Giant King? You're so unskilled; just quit it and stop wasting time," Wang Yong said, half-heartedly.

Wang Gangjian snorted, "One more try; I can definitely defeat him." With that, he plunged back into his intense focus, enduring his virtual struggles.

Wang Yong sighed lightly, "Let me play for you while you listen to me, okay?"

Wang Gangjian scoffed, "If you can beat him in one go, I'll stop."

Taking the controller, Wang Yong navigated his character through the halls, charging to the Giant King's throne. He snatched the greatsword leaning against it and struck fiercely. After several blows, the Giant King fell to the ground, defeated with a few more strikes.

Setting down the controller, he looked into Wang Gangjian's eyes, "Now, will you listen to me?"

Wang Gangjian stared in disbelief, "How did you do that? Why was that sword so powerful?"

"Will you listen to me now!" Wang Yong roared.

Wang Gangjian grimaced, "Fine, go ahead."

Wang Yong recounted his experience at the Haotai Hotel without missing a detail, his expression grave.

"Really? You saw two high-level zombies?" Wang Gangjian's expression grew serious.

Chu Xuan's eyes brightened. The innate potential of this corpse far exceeded his expectations. Born with high qualities and already at the level of a Level Seven Corpse Soldier, it was comparable to a seventh level Qi Refining cultivator!

"Let's see what spells you possess."

Chu Xuan cast an identification spell again. "Golden Light, Divine Strength, Corpse Howl."

He raised his eyebrows in approval.

The Golden Light, which Hu also possesses, serves to enhance defenses. The Divine Strength, on the other hand, bolsters one's physical power.

However, the Corpse Howl genuinely surprised him, as it is considered one of the best innate skills a corpse soldier could acquire. Upon being activated, it deals a severe blow to the spirits of all nearby enemies while simultaneously bolstering the corpse puppet itself, greatly enhancing its aggressive impulses.

A corpse puppet with the Corpse Howl is undeniably a leader among its kind. As long as they are alive, the surrounding corpse puppets will continue to fight fervently until death.

"Excellent, excellent, excellent!" Chu Xuan praised thrice, his eyes brimming with satisfaction as he gazed upon the corpse puppet. "It's time to give you a name. What shall it be?"

"You were once called Zhao Hong. Zhao, a prominent surname. Hong, symbolizing vastness and strength. Ah, blending the deeper meanings of both, let's call you Long!" Chu Xuan nodded in approval.

With a resonant roar, Long accepted its new name.

"Long, Hu, go out and hunt on your own. Hu, teach Long the rules—what to do and what not to do." Chu Xuan instructed.

Both Long and Hu roared in acknowledgment, then leaped away, disappearing between the skyscrapers.

Afterward, Chu Xuan stored Bao and the other six corpse puppets back into the Corpse Nurturing Tower. The dense Yin Qi inside the tower is highly beneficial to corpse puppets, which require not only flesh and blood but also a significant amount of Yin Qi to thrive.

Having completed these tasks, Chu Xuan resumed his cultivation. He planned to elevate his cultivation to the ninth level of Qi Refining before returning to the Mystic Azure Realm.

With so many corpse puppets under his command and the newly transformed Blood Steel Wire, his power would undoubtedly be the strongest below the Foundation Establishment stage, unthreatened by ordinary Qi Refining cultivators.

Upon returning to the Mystic Azure Realm, he would only need to gather some spiritual herbs and medicines to begin his assault on the Foundation Establishment stage!
