Chapter 215: Chapter 217: The Armor Form of the Reincarnation Pearl

As Mu Can spent more time with Wang Cai, the Artifact Spirit of the Reincarnation Pearl, he gained a deeper understanding of the dog’s character.

This is a greedy, shameless and incredibly cunning and crafty dog, especially its attitude of not stirring without promise of gain, which makes Mu Can’s teeth itch with annoyance.

"Just state your terms, Brother Wang Cai," Mu Can said, warily eyeing Wang Cai, afraid of being tricked by the dog.

"If you agree to my terms, not just helping you out this time, but also in the future, I’ll offer you a fifty percent discount. How about that?"

Wang Cai continued to tempt Mu Can; if it still had a physical form, Mu Can would have seen a large black dog, twice the size of a normal one, excitedly wagging its tail.

"First, tell me the terms. If I can’t do it, I can’t agree to them."

Damn it, you sly dog, you must be plotting some scheme to trap me. If you don’t state your terms, there’s no way I can agree, Mu Can thought to himself, resolutely deciding not to be duped by Wang Cai.

"Don’t worry, you can definitely do it. It’s just a trifle for you," said Wang Cai, pretending to be a great expert. It had no idea of its position in Mu Can’s heart—if it could read minds, it certainly wouldn’t be acting this way now.

"That won’t do. It’s okay to set terms, but if that’s the case, the agreed-upon reward for this time has to be halved. Otherwise, I wouldn’t stipulate any conditions."

Mu Can wasn’t foolish. When dealing with Wang Cai, the benefits he could secure were the only true benefits. Rather than haggling with the dog, it was better to secure the gains first.

To Mu Can’s surprise, Wang Cai readily agreed to his request. It was the first time he’d seen Wang Cai so generous, and he felt a bit unaccustomed to it.

There’s something fishy when a dog that would pluck feathers from a passing goose is being so generous. There must be a big issue here.

"You’re not trying to deceive me again, are you?" Mu Can didn’t feel at ease with Wang Cai and, with a cautious face, looked at the Reincarnation Pearl and asked.

"Hey, we are what we are to each other; you are the chosen successor by the master and the new master of the Reincarnation Pearl. Do I look like an Artifact Spirit that would trick its own master?"

Wang Cai looked displeased, with an undertone of dissatisfaction in its voice because of Mu Can’s question.

"You don’t just look like one, you are a scammer." Mu Can almost blurted out but swallowed back his words. If he really said it, who knows if the dog would get angry and refuse to help? If that happened, he wouldn’t be able to save Xuanyuan Mingkong and the others.

Before gaining sufficient strength, Mu Can still needed Wang Cai’s help.

"Of course, Brother Wang Cai isn’t that kind of scammer. How about this, Brother Wang Cai helps me for free this time, and we can discuss your conditions later, okay? Everything is negotiable." Mu Can decided to keep Wang Cai at bay first, and after saving the people, see what kind of condition was generous enough to offer.

"Why do I have the feeling you’re up to no good? Woof! Such a cunning smile, you’re not planning to con me, are you?"

Seeing Mu Can so easy to talk to, without the usual haggling, Wang Cai looked suspiciously at him.

I have to be careful with this little fox. Otherwise, my grand reputation might be ruined by you.

"Rest assured, Lord Wang Cai; let’s save the people first, everything can be discussed and negotiated."

Mu Can felt a twinge in his heart; although he didn’t plan to con Wang Cai, he was determined that if Wang Cai’s demands were too excessive, he wouldn’t agree, which could be considered conning Wang Cai anyway.

"Fine, I reckon you wouldn’t dare to deceive me. If you do, don’t even think about entering the third layer of the Reincarnation Pearl before your strength breaks through that of a Martial Saint." Hearing Mu Can’s reply, Wang Cai nodded in satisfaction. As the Artifact Spirit of the Reincarnation Pearl, he held the initiative until Mu Can could fully control the Reincarnation Pearl.

"Alright, let’s do as you just said," seeing Wang Cai agreed, Mu Can was so eager he wished he could immediately fly into the Demon World camp to rescue Xuanyuan Mingkong and the others.

"Close your eyes."

Mu Can obediently closed his eyes; although this tricky creature was greedy, it was quite reliable at critical moments.

A cool sensation spread from the bottom up as if his whole body had entered the water, and something unknown covered him. Mu Can felt an unbearably itchy sensation, dying to open his eyes right away.

"It’s done!" Finally, upon hearing Wang Cai’s voice, Mu Can slowly opened his eyes.

"Holy crap."

In just that brief moment, the Reincarnation Pearl had transformed into a suit of Silver Armor, completely covering Mu Can. A pair of huge silver wings unfurled behind his back, dazzling under the sunlight and making Mu Can look like a War God.

"How about that, I didn’t lie to you, right? It’s got style, doesn’t it?"

Seeing Mu Can looking like a country bumpkin, Wang Cai asked indifferently.

"Not bad, this outfit gets full marks. Well done, Brother Wang Cai, you’ve got quite the skill."

Mu Can was exceedingly satisfied with this Armor; it was not just armor but a work of art.

"Woof woof woof! My abilities are even greater. Let me tell you, the Reincarnation Pearl’s hidden secrets are vast. The master had extraordinary encounters when forging it."

Would you regard me as an Immortal if I told you that the Reincarnation Pearl was forged with a heavenly light falling from beyond the skies? You must know, even the master back then couldn’t successfully bond with the Reincarnation Pearl, Wang Cai thought with pride.

Whether Mu Can would treat Wang Cai as an Immortal remains uncertain, but he would surely complain about his cheap master, wondering why such a treasure would have such an unreliable Artifact Spirit.

However, Mu Can clearly misunderstood the Heavenly Dao thief. When the Heavenly Dao thief was forging the Reincarnation Pearl, a stream of light from beyond the heavens struck the transforming Reincarnation Pearl, massively elevating its level, and it chose Wang Cai as the Artifact Spirit. The outcome was that the Heavenly Dao thief could not bond with it and had to leave it to a person of destiny.

"What’s the use of just looking good? I don’t feel any different."

Although the Silver Armor was incredibly splendid, Mu Can felt no change in his strength, as if it were merely decorative.

"Woof! Are you stupid? Pour your Spiritual Energy into it and try."

Seeing Mu Can looking like someone who couldn’t recognize true value, Wang Cai got instantly annoyed, his voice emanating from within the Silver Armor.

"Okay!" Mu Can nodded, infusing the Spiritual Energy from within his body into the Armor outside.

Boom!

The Silver Armor seemed to be activated, instantly carrying Mu Can as he flew toward the Demon World camp.

Like teleporting, in the next second, Mu Can appeared above the camp and fiercely smashed towards the center of the Big Formation.
