Chapter 892: Chapter 890: Leveling Up the Configuration

"Ma... Makabaka?" The slave repeated the name twice. Although it sounded perfectly normal, even somewhat similar to his real name, he couldn’t shake off a feeling of unease, as if something about the master was off.

"No problem, right?" Zhang Menglong said, "In our civilization, it’s a very popular name."

"Yes, from today on, my name will be Makabaka."

"Pfft!" Zhang Menglong, usually very controlled due to his professional training, couldn’t help but laugh out loud; the serious demeanor of his counterpart made it impossible to hold back, even though he had intended it as just a prank.

"Alright, this controller, it’s not really necessary now." To Makabaka’s shock, Zhang Menglong crushed the chip in his hand.

This meant he had already lost the authority to control him, and now, if he wanted to kill Zhang Menglong, it would only take a wave of his hand!

There were historical precedents for this. Slaves who had lost control would often kill their masters and then wander the universe, eventually joining those planets or civilizations composed of villains and renegades.

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?" Makabaka still addressed Zhang Menglong with respect.

"I’m not looking for just a simple slave," Zhang Menglong chuckled, "I just heard your story; you’re willing to become a slave to save your planet’s people. I admire that; join me and I can give you the title of Left Protector of the Ritian Sect."

"Ritian Sect?" As a slave, Makabaka was very unfamiliar with outside information, so he had no idea what the Ritian Sect was.

"You’ll know later," Zhang Menglong said, "So, are you willing? If you are, just imprint your mental mark here."

Zhang Menglong crafted a golden mark with both hands, a secret technique he learned from his teacher Luo Feng, called the "Soul Seal," specifically used to control some slaves. It allows their souls to be controlled, far superior to such crude control devices.

As a level seven peak life form before becoming a slave, Makabaka was quite knowledgeable, yet he had never heard of such a secret technique—how someone could directly manipulate a soul to control life and death.

Suddenly, the young man in front of him seemed incredibly mysterious.

"I’m a man of my word," after hesitating for just a moment, Makabaka left his mark on the imprint, and Zhang Menglong captured his soul in that instant.

Whenever Zhang Menglong wanted, a mere thought would turn Makabaka into a corpse.

And at this moment, Makabaka also developed a different feeling towards Zhang Menglong.

Just moments ago, he merely regarded Zhang Menglong as his master—a relationship devoid of any emotion, merely a promise to himself.

But now, he felt his fate was entirely entwined with Zhang Menglong’s, and Zhang Menglong even gave him a sense of might and admiration.

"What’s going on?" Whether by instinct or rationale, he found himself without any repulsion towards Zhang Menglong!

"Alright, from now on, you are the Left Protector of my Ritian Sect," Zhang Menglong said.

"Yes, Master."

"Don’t call me Master, call me Sect Leader!"

"Yes, Sect Leader." Although he didn’t understand what these words meant, he obeyed Zhang Menglong’s words without question.

"By the way, let me tell you something first," Zhang Menglong said, "At the recent auction, I offended a lot of people, including a bunch of level seven and level eight life forms. Following me is a very dangerous affair; you could be killed as a braggart at any time!"

"Sect Leader, I won’t let anyone harm you before I die."

"That’s not what I mean," Zhang Menglong clarified, "I mean, your setup needs some enhancement."

"It’s not that easy," Makabaka chuckled bitterly, "I’ve been stuck at the peak of a level seven life form for over two million years now, and I haven’t even touched the threshold of the Laws, nor have I seen any hope of becoming a level eight life form."

"What’s so hard about it? When you hit a bottleneck, just take some medicine; if one isn’t enough, take two. If two aren’t enough, take ten." Zhang Menglong casually pulled out several extra Battle Emperor Pills and Linglong Pills and tossed them to Makabaka.

"Let me see... here’s a Breakthrough Pill... this is a Bone-Marrowing Blood-Integrating Pill... uh, a Primordial Pill, Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill, not sure what they do." Zhang Menglong pulled out a bunch of things from his person, which were some of the medicines he made from materials bought in Ganei, "Try them, I don’t even know what they’ll do."

"Yes!" Makabaka unhesitatingly tossed a Bone-Marrowing Blood-Integrating Pill into his mouth, even if it were poisonous, he’d swallow it just as readily.

Yet moments later, as the elixir’s effects spread, Makabaka’s body trembled slightly with excitement.

"I... I... Sect Leader, this..."

"How is it, what’s the effect?"

"I feel like a large door in my body has opened; my power and life level haven’t changed at all, but I suddenly feel endless potential!"

"Oh?" Zhang Menglong immediately had Gou Dan scan him.

Previously, Makabaka’s Potential Index was 78; after ingesting this Bone-Marrowing Blood-Integrating Pill, his Potential Index soared to 95, nearing Ganei’s level!

"This stuff can increase potential," Zhang Menglong remarked, "Go ahead and take the rest!"

"Yes!" Makabaka excitedly consumed the rest of the elixirs one by one.

Two Linglong Pills allowed Makabaka to comprehend the Space Law and the Law of Power. That one Primordial Pill raised his understanding of the Laws to a terrifying degree, and as for the Breakthrough Pill...

"Sect Leader, I... I feel my life level is about to rise!"

"No! Not just rise, it’s a leap!"

In Zhang Menglong’s data, Makabaka’s gene level was sharply rising, not only reaching a level eight life form but also jumping to a level eight medium life form in one go!

"Is it the effect of the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill?" Zhang Menglong recalled that, in novels, this elixir could save a strong person from the brink of death and vastly boost their power, much like a Saiyan’s passive skill.

However, in reality, this effect seems to have improved, directly breaking through another level during the breakthrough!

In less than a Cosmic Hour, Makabaka had become a level eight medium life form!

"Now, perhaps I can defeat him even if I meet that person again!" The master of the force their civilization had provoked was thought to be just a level eight medium life form after all.

He never expected his master to have such incredible, earth-shattering abilities!

Is this what he meant by enhancing the setup?

"It’s still not enough!" Zhang Menglong declared, pulling out several storage devices, "’Tathagata Divine Palm,’ ’Great Desolation Classic,’ ’Great Sky Transformation Palm,’ ’Three Thousand Thunder Movements,’ ’Heaven and Earth Domineering Qi Art’... Take these and learn them. Come back to me when you’re done!"

"These... level eight martial arts manuals, even level nine ones!" The amount of surprise Makabaka had experienced this day surpassed any in his lifetime, "Sect Leader, these things are too precious; you gave them all to me, I..."

"Precious my foot," Zhang Menglong said, "I picked them up casually. When I get some time, I’ll find some even better ones for you. You just study these for now."

"Picked up casually..."

"Come on, let’s go back to the auction house," Zhang Menglong said, hands clasped behind his back, exuding an air of confidence, "Come with me and continue shopping!"
