Chapter 152 Light Dragon Star Artifact, Jake Accepts

"I am willing to become your subordinate as long I can obtain the power to protect Ellie and win her heart!"

Although Jake was young, he wasn't dumb enough to pass on such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He knew that it was indeed safer if he waited for two more years to try his luck in the first awakening phase of transcendent superpower. But even that wasn't guaranteed since not everyone could awaken a superpower.

Not only did one need to awaken a good talent, but one also needed to awaken a good superpower. It was like doing gacha two times and hoping that both draws would yield excellent results.

If the awakening was unbalanced such as having a high superpower grade yet low talent, then the transcendent will likely be stuck at the lower levels but still a powerful existence among low-level transcendents.

The same goes if a transcendent has a low superpower grade yet high talent. If a transcendent has such an unbalanced build, he will have the high level yet the weakest existence among the high-level transcendents.

When Jake thought of such a huge gamble that would decide his future, Jake wasn't stupid enough to pass on the opportunity to obtain guaranteed power.

After Jake accepted Alister's offer and Alister guaranteed that Jake was true to his words, Alister did the same as he did in Bruce's case.

But first, Alister took out a top-grade star artifact and destroyed it, converting the top-grade star artifact into astral energy. When that top-grade star artifact was converted into astral energy, Alister used it to replenish the astral energy that he had consumed when he transferred power to Bruce.

Alister's limit of transferring power without affecting his star cultivation base was Level 99 Revered Constellation star cultivation base every night. If he did that more than once, it would make his star cultivation base unstable and at risk of regressing.

Furthermore, it was daytime so Alister couldn't recover his astral energy and could only do so by sacrificing a top-grade star artifact. He had tens of thousands of top-grade star artifacts in his system inventory so Alister didn't mind sacrificing it just to recover his astral energy.

After recovering his astral energy, Alister then chose a top-grade star artifact for Jake and transferred the Light Dragon star artifact to Jake.

The beast-type Light Dragon star artifact was a top-grade star artifact that the Long Academy possessed. Not to mention, transforming into the human form of a dragon was very badass and cool.

As a thoughtful boss, Alister hoped that the added charm attributes of the Light Dragon star artifact would improve Jake's chances of winning Ellie's heart.

Of course, aside from that, the Light Dragon star artifact also granted Jake some partial light manipulation ability which can improve Jake's power.

Since Jake already has some partial superpower, Alister didn't grant Jake the zombie virus since he didn't want Jake to be too powerful.

After all, the leader of their duo team would be Bruce and if Jake became impulsive due to Ellie and Bruce couldn't subdue him, then that would be a problem.

However, aside from not granting Jake the zombie virus and a superpower, Jake was still given the combat experience as well as the usage experience of the Light Dragon star artifact.

Alister also secretly planted a mind bug inside Jake's subconsciousness just like what he did to Yun Ren at the start. nove(lb/In

The mind bug doesn't change the personality or the loyalty of a person but it acts like a slave collar. As long as thoughts of betrayal would arise in that person's mind, the mind bug would torture that person by inflicting excruciating pain.

Although Jake was now a Level 99 Revered Constellation powerhouse, Jake was weaker than Alister so Jake couldn't detect the mind bug inside his body.

As much as possible, Alister didn't want to be forced to use the mind bug. But with how young Jake was, he couldn't trust Jake that much compared to Bruce whose loyalty was already guaranteed.

After all, if that Ellie girl with whom Jake was infatuated had seduced Jake into betrayal, then the mind bug could have been used at that time.

But for now, Jake could still be trusted, and even if Jake betrayed him, the mind bug would warn him beforehand.

Jake didn't know about a mind bug being planted in his subconsciousness so as soon as Alister transferred great power to his body, Jake felt that dealing with most transcendents and otherworld monsters in this world would be easy!

"Thank you, boss! I, Jake Moralls, won't disappoint you!"

Unlike Bruce who addressed Alister as "Lord", Jake preferred to call Alister as his boss.

Alister didn't care much about how his subordinates called him as long as it wasn't a derogatory title.

After recruiting Bruce and Jake as his subordinates, Alister shifted his attention back to the dimensional gate.

Bruce was spawn killing the orc chiefs and goblin kings that were coming out of the dimensional gate.

Goblin kings were at the 9th-level while orc chiefs were at the king-level in terms of power. Instead of the normal goblins and orcs that previously came out of the dimensional gate, much stronger goblins and orcs had left the dimensional gate until the strongest in their race came out.

Of course, 9th-level and king-level monsters weren't a threat to Bruce and were easily defeated by him. The corpses of goblin kings and orc chiefs piled up near the dimensional gate.

Seeing how easily Bruce had dealt with those monsters, Jake was eager to test his power against them. But since Alister became his boss, Jake looked at him and asked for permission first.

Alister didn't disagree and nodded at Jake.

After receiving Alister's permission, Jake stole Bruce's prey but Bruce didn't mind and let Jake deal with the goblin kings and orc chiefs.

Bruce had already tested some of his power so he let Jake do it as well. Jake was young enough to be his grandson so Bruce didn't mind and just stood by and protected Jake at the sidelines.

"This is going better than I have expected. At this rate, the dimensional gate will be successfully dealt wi-"

Before Alister could finish his comment, his expression turned grim as a powerful pressure was released from the dimensional gate!
