114: Chapter Shadow Lord, Brothers Meet
As Shadow moved, the beings behind him did the same. They half-knelt before Li Wuji, emitting emotionless sounds from their mouths.
"Greetings, Master!"
Mr. Li Wuji looked at Shadow, then at the beings behind him.
Because at the moment Shadow broke through, the hundred figures from before also broke through. At this moment, they had all reached the Fourth Level of the Martial General Realm, directly stepping into the Mid-Stage Martial General in one go.
"They are your ability?"
Li Wuji asked softly. Hearing this, Shadow's eyes flickered. The next moment, pairs of blood-red eyes reappeared in the darkness surrounding the small courtyard.
Immediately after, nearly a thousand black shadows stepped out from within, just like before. However, these only had the aura of Peak Martial Masters.
"Master, Shadow can consume very little of his own power to create these black shadows."
Shadow said respectfully, "And these hundred are like personal guards. They will improve as this subordinate improves.
As long as this subordinate does not die, these personal guards can be continuously resurrected even if they are destroyed.
In addition, this subordinate feels there are still some things within his body, but currently, due to the hurried time, the comprehension is not obvious. Please forgive this subordinate, Master."
"Have you named them?"
"Please bestow a name, Master!"
"Then call them the Black Shadow Legion."
Saying this, Li Wuji reached out and took out a strange object that seemed to be still wriggling.
Upon closer inspection, this object was actually an insect resembling an iron disc, covered in tiny scales. Hidden within these tiny scales were eight small eyes.
Whether it was a coincidence or not, these eight small eyes actually corresponded to the eight directions. Besides several pairs of insect legs, its lower abdomen also had a small tail curled up.
"Master, what is this?"
Shadow was startled. Although he was somewhat confused, he respectfully received it.
"He can help you find the others. Tell them to collect saint relics with all their might. After collecting them, send them to Xuanwu District. 008 is guarding that place."
"Yes, Master!"
"Go."
After receiving the order, Shadow bowed respectfully again. "This subordinate takes his leave!"
Immediately, he disappeared into the darkness beneath his feet, and the Black Shadow Legion also vanished.
Galan took a step and came to Li Wuji's side. "Master, I couldn't even figure out the hidden aura of this Shadow just now."
Li Wuji smiled mysteriously. In his mind, he erased Shadow's AI designation, and then four words slowly appeared—Shadow Lord.
"Each of you has great potential, and your strength will become stronger and stronger. However, the more this is the case, the more likely you are to come into conflict later."
Galan's expression changed, and she immediately knelt on the ground with a look of panic. "Master, I..."
"Get up!"
As these two words fell, an invisible force helped Galan up.
Li Wuji's expression was calm without any ripples. His voice was tranquil as he said, "There will be more and more Sequencers in the future, and their personalities will definitely be strange and varied. Conflicts are unavoidable.
As can be seen from the conflict between 005 and 006, none of you is a peaceful sort.
But that's what makes it interesting. This is a cruel world. The strong prey on the weak is the supreme truth no matter where you are."
After speaking, he glanced at Galan again. "Your and Luo Xiu's potential is undoubtedly the strongest. Don't disappoint me!"
Patting Galan's shoulder, Li Wuji strode away, leaving only a flash of determination in Galan's eyes. "It seems I must go outside of Great Xia. I must not disappoint Master."
After leaving the small courtyard, Li Wuji did not wander around but came to the station in White Tiger District.
"Ding-a-ling!"
Suddenly, the telephone rang. Looking at the caller ID, a faint smile appeared on Li Wuji's face.
"Hello?"
"Mm-hmm, okay. I'm right at the station entrance, waiting for you!"
Hanging up the phone, he looked towards the station entrance with a hint of anticipation. Soon, a group of young men and women with impressive bearing came before Li Wuji.
"Brother!"
Following this shout, the leading young man quickly came before Li Wuji, calling out with a face full of joy.
The person who arrived was none other than Li Mingxuan, who had come to participate in the National College Competition. As for the people behind him, they were naturally the rest of the Netherworld Team.
"Haven't seen you in half a year. You're a bit darker but have grown stronger. Not bad, not bad."
Li Wuji looked at the young man before him who had shed his childishness, his eyes full of satisfaction.
Li Mingxuan's smile at this moment couldn't be hidden no matter what, especially after hearing his older brother's praise, he even scratched his head sheepishly.
This scene left everyone behind him somewhat dumbfounded. Qin Tian and Zhao Qianjun were fine; after all, they had witnessed it on the bus back then.
Moreover, on ordinary days, they would occasionally see Li Mingxuan's face full of joy when he answered the phone.
Ye Wuji, Liu Ruyan, and the other two were somewhat speechless. From their interactions over the past few months, the Li Mingxuan in their impression was an extremely calm and steady Captain.
When had they ever seen this goofy Li Mingxuan, like a younger brother from next door? Thus, they all cast strange glances at him.
As if feeling these gazes, Li Mingxuan slightly composed himself and introduced to everyone, "This is my Brother, Li Wuji."
"Brother, these are my teammates. They're all very good. You've met Qin Tian and Zhao Qianjun before.
This is Ye Wuji, this is..."
After an introduction, both sides had a preliminary understanding of each other.
Li Wuji smiled and nodded in greeting throughout, making everyone feel very comfortable.
And everyone also called out "Brother Li". Immediately after, the group first had a meal and then came to the place where Great Wall Academy was staying.
After all, it was a joint competition of national colleges, and the accommodations for these participants were arranged in advance.
Li Mingxuan and the others were naturally no exception, so after finishing their meal, the group came here.
"Alright, this is it. I'll watch your live stream tomorrow. Work hard."
After arriving at the entrance of the hotel where they were staying, Li Wuji waved goodbye to everyone and was about to leave.
"Brother, I'll see you off."
Li Mingxuan quickly spoke. He already knew the place and could return quickly. The other few didn't say anything and went into the hotel first.
As the person who understood Li Mingxuan the most, Li Wuji naturally knew that the other party had something to say to him privately.
"Let's go. There's a park over there. Want to take a walk?"
"Okay!"
Inside the hotel, looking at the backs of the two as they left, Liu Ruyan asked in surprise, "Is this Brother Li really an ordinary person? Even the elders in my family can't compare to that demeanor."
Qin Tian heard this and wasn't surprised. "Don't look at Brother Li as an ordinary person. He raised Brother Xuan single-handedly and has a wealth of experience."
After thinking about how Li Mingxuan's temperament and character were indeed far beyond ordinary people, the few of them showed a look of understanding. Although they were surprised by the aura Li Wuji exuded, they did not feel any spiritual energy fluctuations.
In the park, the two walked silently to the side of the park's artificial lake and looked at the koi inside. For a moment, neither of them spoke.
After a moment, Li Wuji suddenly picked up a small stone and threw it into the lake. Immediately, ripples spread out, and the koi in the water scattered and fled.
"What do you want to ask?"
