Divine-level Base

Chapter 137 - 136: Return

After losing its Heart of Wood, the Face Demon Tree King shuddered, collapsed to the ground, and began to wither.

The Face Demon Tree Generals below suddenly shot out countless vines, piercing fiercely into the Face Demon Tree King’s body and absorbing its nutrients to begin evolving.

The other Face Demon Trees gathered around the ten Face Demon Tree Generals, no longer pursuing Shu Feng.

’Fifty billion, just like that! It’s true what they say—the stronger you are, the easier it is to make money!’

Shu Feng watched the Steel Beast fly over, a flicker of emotion in his eyes. He took the Heart of Wood from its hand and placed it inside a Crystal Box.

On Blue Star, the Face Demon Tree King’s Heart of Wood was an incredibly precious primary and auxiliary ingredient for crafting many Top-Level Magic Potions, a treasure on the same level as a Giant Dragon’s Heart. A single piece of the Heart of Wood could sell for at least 50 billion, and the highest quality pieces could even fetch an astronomical price of over 500 billion.

Of course, on Blue Star, the Heart of Wood was the kind of treasure that was priceless and practically unavailable. If one ever appeared, it would almost certainly be at a top-tier Spiritualist auction house, and even then, it was an extremely rare occurrence.

「At the entrance gate of Spirit Mirror City.」

"Who are you?"

As soon as Shu Feng arrived at the gate of Spirit Mirror City, he was stopped by a Warrior.

Multiple auto-cannons at the city entrance also locked onto Shu Feng.

"I’m a student from the Celestial Pride Class at Shuijing High School, a survivor of the training expedition to explore Tando City. This is my student ID; you can verify it."

Shu Feng handed his student ID to the Warrior.

BEEP!

The Warrior placed Shu Feng’s student ID into a slot. Only after the device beeped did he confirm Shu Feng’s identity.

The Warrior said, "You can go in."

After entering the city, Shu Feng immediately went to the liaison point set up by Shuijing High School within Spirit Mirror City.

"My name is Shu Feng, a student from the Celestial Pride Class at Shuijing High School and a survivor of the training expedition to explore Tando City. Here is my student ID. Please contact the school’s upper management immediately. We still have classmates trapped in a New World."

The moment he stepped into the liaison point, Shu Feng spoke to a beautiful woman at the front desk.

"Please wait a moment!"

The woman quickly verified Shu Feng’s student ID, then made a phone call.

Before long, an elderly man with a thin build and salt-and-pepper hair strode in. His eyes, however, were bright and full of spirit.

The old man said, "I am Ge Minghe, the vice-principal of Shuijing High School. Tell me everything you know."

"Yes, Vice-Principal!"

Shu Feng then recounted the course of events, though he naturally skimmed over any details that involved his personal Ability.

Ge Minghe had remained expressionless the whole time, but when he heard that Shu Feng had conquered a Little World, a flash of astonishment couldn’t help but cross his eyes.

The Erosion Realm was filled with countless world fragments and many worlds on the brink of apocalypse. Within the Blue Star Qianyuan Republic, many Noble Families had only been able to rise to their status and dominate their respective territories by conquering these Little Worlds.

For Shu Feng to have conquered a Little World meant he now possessed the foundation to establish his own Noble Family—a feat that would undoubtedly make countless people on Blue Star burn with envy and jealousy.

After hearing the full story, Ge Minghe immediately went to the Spirit Mirror City Military Department to request a military dispatch.

The Spirit Mirror City Military Department directly dispatched an elite force of three thousand Spiritualist soldiers, armed to the teeth, who rode in Spiritual Energy Armored Vehicles powered by Spirit Stones and advanced toward the Badge World.

With Shu Feng leading the way, the elite force of three thousand armed-to-the-teeth Spiritualists crushed everything in their path, blasting to pieces every Erosion Realm Demon they encountered.

Shu Feng was also quite happy to absorb the Soul Power and Void Demon Energy from the slaughtered Erosion Realm Demons, as well as harvest the genes of many of them.

The elite Spiritualist army stopped at the border of the Badge World and did not enter.

Shu Feng entered the Badge World, brought out Li Xuan Yi and the other students of the Celestial Pride Class, and then returned safely to Spirit Mirror City under the protection of the elite Spiritualist army.

After returning to Spirit Mirror City, Li Xuan Yi and the others used a Teleportation Gate to go back to Shuijing City.

Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief the moment they were back inside Shuijing City.

Within Shuijing City, besides Shuijing High School, there was also Shuijing University, a top-tier institution for cultivating Spiritualists. The entire city was full of hidden masters and possessed countless powerful Secret Treasures. Even an expert at the Spirit Venerable Realm would be easily suppressed if they dared to run amok in Shuijing City.

「A large power plant in Shuijing City.」

"Student Shu Feng, you’re here to charge up again."

A certain Manager Hu, portly with a large beer belly and a face perpetually wreathed in smiles, eagerly came over to greet Shu Feng.

Shuijing High School and Shuijing University were home to all kinds of Spiritualists, including a few dozen who needed to charge up with electricity. This large power plant was their designated charging spot.

Ordinary people elsewhere were unaware of the existence of Spiritualists, but basically everyone in Shuijing City knew about them. However, they were all required to sign non-disclosure agreements and were forbidden from revealing the existence of Spiritualists, under penalty of fines or even a prison sentence.

Shu Feng said, "Manager Hu, please make the arrangements. Take me to the charging room with the highest output."

Manager Hu said with a wide smile, "Of course, Student Shu Feng. May I ask how much electricity you’ll be needing this time?"

Shu Feng said casually, "Let’s start with a billion units."

During his trip to the Erosion Realm, Shu Feng had acquired a massive amount of Void Demon Energy and Soul Power. However, the electrical energy he had stored previously was completely depleted, so he had to recharge. Only at this large power plant in Shuijing City could he charge a billion units in a short amount of time.

"A billion units?!"

Manager Hu was completely stunned. He stammered in disbelief, "But that will cost 700 million!"

Shu Feng casually took out a black card and said, "Charge it."

Manager Hu beckoned, and a beautiful attendant came forward with a card machine. She respectfully took the black card from Shu Feng, entered the amount, and swiped it.

As soon as Shu Feng entered his PIN, the 700 million was transferred.

’This Shu Feng is such a big spender. He must be the scion of a Noble Family. I can’t afford to be neglectful.’

Manager Hu became even more deferential, leading Shu Feng personally to the highest-grade charging room.

Upon entering the highest-grade charging room, Shu Feng saw a wide variety of plugs and sockets.

Transparent tentacles surged out from Shu Feng’s body, inserted themselves into the sockets, and began to frantically absorb the power plant’s electricity.

Outside the charging room, the electric meter began to spin wildly. In the blink of an eye, ten thousand units of electricity had been directly absorbed by Shu Feng.

’These Spiritualists... every one of them is a monster!’

Manager Hu’s eyelid twitched. He immediately turned and left.

With a thought, Shu Feng entered his Base Space.

Inside the Base Space, numerous buildings were flashing with electric light, and a wave of joyous cheers erupted from deep within the base.
