Chapter 357: Chapter 170 Ark Gathering

"Lord Ye, you’ve drawn a really short straw on your contract."

After Li Yelai left the room, a Processor from headquarters approached him with a grave expression.

They were the assistants responsible for Li Yelai’s contract this time, tasked with perfecting the contract and identifying loopholes in its language.

But Li Yelai had chosen the price himself and insisted on it, leaving them no choice but to accept his decision.

Now, they all believed that for the sake of enhancing the precision of his ranged attacks, the price Li Yelai accepted—getting struck by lightning—was a terrible deal indeed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please don’t worry," Li Yelai responded with a smile.

Being controllably struck by lightning was precisely what Li Yelai wanted.

As for the enhanced accuracy, that was just an unexpected bonus!

He then bid farewell to the several Processors and had barely stepped out of the Black Prison area when he saw Little Mad King.

She appeared before Li Yelai out of nowhere, having evaded the sight and perception of her colleagues.

Well, of course, the curse made it hard for her to coexist peacefully with others; remaining unseen and undetected was her way of interacting with her peers.

"It looks like you’ve gained quite a bit," Little Mad King’s voice was still thin, but it contained a hint of relief. She appeared a few steps away from Li Yelai, unnoticed. The Netherworld Path indeed excels at assassination...

"You could tell?" Li Yelai asked.

"I’m not blind..." Little Mad King glanced at the corners of Li Yelai’s barely contained smile and responded flatly, "It seems you’ve grasped the essence, transforming the price into combat power."

Li Yelai didn’t hide it, nodded in acknowledgment, and shared the price of the deal.

"Directly putting forward a price, and then inversely requesting for blessings. You’re quite clever," Little Mad King pondered for a moment and then nodded, "That way, your seduction tactics must have been perfected."

Seduction... Did the Hu Ben Team already report the naming of their tactics?

Damn it, can’t we get along properly?

Li Yelai’s mouth twitched, "Please don’t mention that name. However, I have indeed perfected the tactics."

Not only that, but Li Yelai now also had the ability to continuously release Thunder Spears.

Blessings allowed him to improve his proficiency in ranged attacks, enhancing his accuracy. Throwing Dragon Thunder, or using a throwing spear was sufficient.

If the opponent failed to dodge the Thunder Spear, there wasn’t much to discuss; the real question was whether they could withstand a few hits from Li Yelai’s Thunder Spears.

The power of the Thunder Spear was considerable.

It was a one-hit kill for any Spiritual Ability User below the Fourth Awakening, and the ferocious Thunder Spear could directly penetrate the Spiritual Barrier of Third Awakening strength!

Those of the Fourth Awakening might be able to withstand a few hits using their Spiritual Barrier. As for the Fifth Sense, it might be a bit more troublesome; it would require sustained bombardment!

If, however, the opponent dodged the attack...

Hehe, the breach of the oath would then cause a Thunder Cloud to directly form above Li Yelai, and the terrifying Thunder Power would continue to strike him.

For others, it was a dreadful situation, but for Li Yelai, it was a natural arsenal!

Li Yelai could use Mimicry·Red Thunder Dragon Claw to crazily draw from the Thunder Power, with minimal Spiritual Energy consumption, continuously releasing powerful Dragon Thunder!

Until it hit the opponent and he fulfilled the oath again.

Moreover, Li Yelai now had more room for maneuver; under the vicious Thunder Cloud, there was a high probability of incidental injuries.

If Li Yelai was surrounded by enemies and breached the oath, it would be like dragging the enemies to be struck by lightning with him!

At that time, under the Thunder Cloud, they would randomly choose a ’lucky viewer’, hehe...

While both would be struck by lightning, Li Yelai had two defensive measures—the Shadow Army’s Immovable as a Mountain and Mimicry·Abyss Dragon Scale!

And with Mimicry·Red Thunder Dragon Claw, he could even use the thunder to strike others!

Moreover, fighting in the thunderstorm, Li Yelai could also use the Dragon Scale stacking armor to accumulate damage!

Then, he would use the Dharma Image to really give it to the opponent!

Li Yelai felt that his gains this time were just too great!

The oath’s blessing made him stronger, and the punishment for violating it made him even stronger!

Invincible! He was simply invincible!

"Then let’s hurry up and integrate our techniques, as we’ll be leaving the city soon," Little Mad King said.

"I understand, what else do I need to prepare?" Li Yelai inquired.

He had never left Giant City, and under normal circumstances, the vast majority of the people in Giant City would not leave.

"Don’t worry too much about the rest, the officials will prepare everything. Clothes for the Forbidden Zone, currency, and customs are all ready. But if possible, you better learn how to drive," Little Mad King replied, "You can learn to drive in the Processing Department and get a license in less than a week."

Driving a car? Li Yelai pondered for a moment and then nodded slightly.

Since it was necessary for the operation, he had no reason to resist.

After all, it was just learning, not buying a car. And as long as he didn’t trigger a vehicle killer, it should be fine, right?

...

In the following few days, Li Yelai resumed his training; with the oath’s blessing, the intensity of the throwing training could temporarily be reduced and shifted to driving training.

And the special training with the Hu Ben Team became even more intense.

Now that Li Yelai had completely perfected his tactics, even when facing the elite Night Patrol of the Fifth Sense, he had the strength to fight!

This made Long Lie and others take it more seriously, even activating the Spiritual Power Well to strengthen their Spiritual Energy, directly engaging in full combat with Li Yelai!

At the outdoor training ground in the suburbs, the originally calm atmosphere was instantly shattered.

Thunder Clouds emerged in the sky, looking like huge black canvases, abruptly appearing and gradually spreading to cover the sky completely.
