'Shadowless' Duan Rui was completely confused.
His head seemed to have been hit by a high-speed crystal train. The world was swirling, and he felt that the whole world had changed beyond recognition!
That was Wang Kou. That was' Bloody Butcher 'Wang Kou. He was an unparalleled bandit that even the twenty or so desperadoes did not have the courage to approach when he was standing there casually!
Yet, he was so humble and reverent to the plain-looking young man?
Duan Rui heard gasps around him and behind him.
Even he had forgotten what it felt like to breathe.
Before he realized what was going on, 'Bloody Butcher' Wang Kou did something that shocked them even more.
The precise killing machine walked to one side, picked up a giant towel with both hands, and offered it to 'Senior Li'.
After Senior Li took the towel as if nobody else were around, he grabbed two cans of high-energy nutrition drugs and waited on him carefully.
"…"
Duan Rui's head went blank, and he completely lost the ability to think.
When he was preparing to assassinate Wang Kou, he had watched one of the guy's training videos.
It was the scene of Wang Kou fighting a ferocious beast "Giant Icerock Bear" bare-handed in the harsh environment that was almost a hundred degrees below zero.
Three seconds. In only three seconds, Wang Kou's hands had broken the bear's neck, which was more than half a meter in diameter. He had even ripped off the ferocious beast's head together with its spine that was as hard as iron.
It was exactly the video that made Duan Rui determined that he would rather turn against the assassin organization that he belonged to than go against Wang Kou.
But right now, the hands that could tear apart the bear instantly were shivering slightly, holding two cans of high-energy nutrition drugs, ready to serve him at any moment?
Duan Rui found it hard to believe his eyes.
But his heart was beating faster and faster beyond his control, and the muscles all over his body were shivering beyond his control. Even his bones were tingling as if they were being stabbed by needles.
Duan Rui blinked, and an abyssal fear flowed out of the bottom of his heart.
He suddenly realized that the intimidating aura that made them hesitate when they stepped into the observation room was not from Wang Kou.
Wang Kou was already so scared. How could he be intimidating at all?
From the beginning, it was the aura of the ordinary-looking young man that had frightened the twenty or so desperadoes so much that their pupils constricted and their muscles shivered, and they did not dare to move forward at all!
The young man did not even waste any strength. He intentionally tightened his muscles and released his spiritual energy to intimidate others. The aftermath of the fierce battle alone was enough to stop so many experts, bandits, bandits, and lunatics from crossing the minefield!
"Where did the Empress find such a terrifying monster?"
Although Duan Rui knew that the other party was on the same side as him, he still felt scared. This was the instinctive fear that small carnivores had for prehistoric ferocious beasts. "Who exactly is he?"
Li Yao was still immersed in the satisfying battle just now, and he didn't care about how these 'heroes' that Li Linghai had recruited from all over looked at him.
Getting to the bottom of it, the real elites of the Imperium of True Human Beings were mostly gathered in the major families and sects.
In other words, those 'heroes' were the so-called 'martial artists'. Without the support of an enormous force, their strength was limited however strong they were.
Wiping his sweating body casually, Li Yao took the two cans of high-nutrition drugs from Wang Kou and drank them up. It was not until then that he glanced at Wang Kou and asked, "Are you … 'Bloody Butcher' Wang Kou?"
"Yes, I am, Senior Li."
Wang Kou did not even dare breathe loudly. He did not care that he would be humiliated in front of 'Duan Rui' and the others. He bashed his chest hard and bowed at Li Yao in the highest etiquette of a gladiator. "However, in front of Senior Li's unparalleled magnificence, the title of 'Bloody Butcher' is far from enough. The Empress has asked me to …"
Li Yao smiled. Before Wang Kou finished, he suddenly extended his hands and pressed Wang Kou's shoulders.
His hands slithered down from Wang Kou's shoulders like dragons and vipers, from his chest to his abdomen to his thighs. Everything was touched by Li Yao.
Duan Rui and the other desperadoes, who had just come back to themselves, were even more shocked.
Many of them could tell that Wang Kou was not caught willingly.
It was because the guy was too fast, and he had suppressed Wang Kou's natural defense with an uncanny spiritual energy. Like a turtle that was caught in a jar, Wang Kou was grasped in his hands!
He seemed to be casually stretching out his hand, but it was like two enormous mountains that blotted out the sky and covered the earth. If it were any one of them, they would have been grabbed by this unfathomable "Senior Li" and be at the mercy of the other party!
It was not until then that everybody began to understand why 'Bloody Butcher' Wang Kou, who had killed countless people, was so respectful to this' Senior Li '.
"You are quite strong, young man!"
After touching Wang Kou, Li Yao patted his shoulder and smiled. "Don't be nervous. I mean you no harm. Her Grace has asked the heroes of the martial world to come to my place so that I can help you adjust and strengthen the Crystal Suit. Naturally, I have to figure out your physical conditions and combat features so that you can carry out your best combat ability, right?"
"Bloody Butcher" Wang Kou's face was pale under Li Yao's touch. Even when Li Yao touched his abdomen, which was the most critical part of his body, he did not have the strength to fight back at all. He stammered, "Yes, yes. Thank you for your trouble, Senior Li. Whatever you want me to do, Senior Li, please feel free to tell me!"
"Alright. Help me take a look at these people."
Li Yao glanced at Duan Rui and the other desperadoes. "Her Grace has asked me to help you adjust and modify the Crystal Suit. However, my time is limited, and there is no need to waste my time on those who are not above average. You should know most of them, right? Check if any of them are just here to make up the numbers. Don't get in my way."
"Yes, Senior. I'll observe carefully right now."
"Bloody Butcher" Wang Kou agreed readily. He turned around and really widened his eyes to observe carefully. It was not until a long time later that he turned back and said, "Senior Li, the people that Her Grace has carefully selected are indeed the famous experts in the borderland of the Imperium. I don't think that they will be a burden to you on the battlefield."
"That's good."
Li Yao smiled and walked to the test field with his hands behind his back. "The field has been cleaned up. Come in with me. Let's begin the second half!"
Li Yao walked to the test field on his own.
"Bloody Butcher" Wang Kou followed him closely.
"Shadowless" Duan Rui and the other desperadoes did not even dare to breathe loudly. They walked into the test field carefully, stepping on their shadows.
Right when they were about to ask questions, "Bloody Butcher" Wang Kou's voice was condensed into the shape of a needle through the technique of private talk. "You'd better cheer up. You all heard what I said just now. I promised you in front of Senior Li that it is your fortune to be tutored by Senior Li. Serve Senior Li carefully and do not piss off the old monster. Otherwise, I will skin you alive!"
Pausing for a moment, "Bloody Butcher" Wang Kou knew that everybody was confused. He continued his explanation in a low voice. "The old monster is named 'Vulture Li Yao'. He is an expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage that Her Grace recruited from somewhere. Also, he is a hybrid Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator who is adept at fighting and refining!
"He is now Her Grace's personal guard and magical equipment consultant. He is responsible for Her Grace's safety and the magical equipment that she uses in her daily life. Do you know what that means?"
Personal guard and magical equipment consultant!
Duan Rui and the other desperadoes were all dumbfounded.
Of course, they knew what it meant. In terms of position and rank, 'personal guard' and 'magical equipment consultant' were nothing. They were not even of any rank.
However, these two positions were critical positions that were related to life and death. They would often come into contact with the most important secrets. Only the closest and most trusted aides could hold these positions. Moreover, once they were sent out, they would often be important ministers with great power and influence!
'Vulture Li Yao' was a very strange name. They had never heard of such an old monster in the Divinity Transformation Stage in the Imperium before.
However, if he was a mysterious expert that Her Grace had been raising in secret for decades, it was completely understandable!
"You didn't see the craziness of the old monster just now. You will know that every word I said is true when you see it later!"
'Bloody Butcher' Wang Kou went on. "Also, the old monster's arts in refining are equally marvelous. It is indicative of how much Her Grace values us by securing the opportunity for Vulture Li Yao to adjust and strengthen the Crystal Suit in person. You should seize the opportunity and don't make any mistakes. If anyone pisses off the old monster and leaves without strengthening the Crystal Suit for us, I will certainly mince them into pieces and feed them to them!"
Duan Rui and the other desperadoes were all anxious and bewildered.
While they were at a loss, a smiling voice suddenly joined in. "Hahahaha. Don't listen to Wang Kou's nonsense, everybody. In fact, I am a very easy-going, low-key, and charismatic man. As long as you can satisfy me, I will certainly help you adjust the Crystal Suit!"
It was the voice of the old monster 'Vulture Li Yao'!
All the desperadoes were shocked. They did not expect that the old monster's Cultivation would be so terrifyingly profound that he could intercept and eavesdrop on the private talk of such an expert as' Bloody Butcher 'Wang Kou easily.
It must be noted that Wang Kou was moving and talking at the same time. Also, when he was talking, he was obviously changing the frequencies of almost ten different soundwaves!
However, this old monster still managed to hear every single word he said!
'Bloody Butcher' Wang Kou felt that he had been struck by lightning. His face was so red that it was about to explode, and he was completely dumbfounded!
"Don't be so restrained. Everybody says that I am easy-going and charismatic. You can talk freely and pretend that I'm not here!"
Li Yao continued walking forward slowly with his hands behind his back while he spoke to the almost thirty desperadoes in private. "However, I don't like being called 'old monster'. If you have to talk about me behind my back, you can call me 'Monster Li'.
