Most importantly, with Chakra, terrain was no obstacle at all.
One could climb walls and hang upside down from the ceiling like a spider. The only shortcoming was that one couldn't fly.
And the Chakra extraction method and the two basic ninja Ninjutsu that Lord had just mentioned were even more important!
Chakra was wondrous, but that alone wasn't enough. There had to be more of it.
Besides, Chakra alone was already wondrous enough, so what were the Ninjutsu that used Chakra like?
Kingpin considered the ten million payment for the Chakra extraction method and the two Ninjutsu.
It was more than worth the price. How could he not be happy?
Kingpin happily sent the money, and Bullseye and the others finally realized they had misunderstood what Wu Chen meant when he said he would grant Kingpin the power he possessed.
It wasn't a spatial ability, but a power called "Chakra"!
But even if it was Chakra, it was still a power that could elevate people beyond the ordinary!
The four villains exchanged glances, each seeing desire in the others' eyes.
The four pushed Bullseye forward as their representative. He took a step forward and lowered his head. "Lord, could you also grant us Chakra Seeds?"
They were supervillains, but they had only physical and mechanical power.
That wasn't to say those methods of improvement were wrong, but they differed somewhat from generating energy within the body and improving as that energy grew.
Each approach had its own strengths and weaknesses. The method of energy evolution wasn't invincible, capable of crushing everything and suited to everyone, either.
Take the genius mechanic Tony Stark, for example. Was cultivating Chakra really right for him?
Chakra cultivation wasn't something that produced results if one worked at it only now and then.
It required effort day and night to yield results.
If Iron Man Tony Stark really tried to cultivate Chakra, wouldn't there be no possibility of upgrading his Mark Series armor?
In that case, could Iron Man still stand alongside gods in a mortal body?
Therefore, Chakra wasn't suited to mechanical geniuses like Tony Stark.
Compared to Tony, Bullseye, Green Goblin, and the others were much better suited to Chakra.
They understood that they had already reached a point where they could make no further progress in their original fields, just like Kingpin's physical combat power. That was why they were so excited to see a new way to grow stronger.
But just because it suited them, did that mean he had to give it to them?
Wu Chen glanced at the four villains. In his mind, he had already sentenced them to death.
That didn't mean he was going to kill them, but that he couldn't possibly give them Chakra Seeds.
At least, not now.
Some things ceased to matter if they were too easy to obtain.
Take the carrot dangling in front of a donkey. If the donkey could easily eat it, would it keep turning the millstone?
What Wu Chen wanted to do now was use the Chakra Seeds as carrots and dangle them in front of these four donkeys.
But before that, he had to make them behave.
If I give you a Chakra Seed, that's your honor. But if you ask me for one, that's a different matter.
Boom!
The Mangekyō Sharingan in his exposed right eye slowly turned. An immensely oppressive aura surged straight at the four villains.
"Are you demanding something from me?!"
Thud!!
Bullseye was the first to buckle, dropping straight to his knees. "Lord, I didn't mean that! They told me to do it!"
Backstabbed by Bullseye, Green Goblin and the others cursed inwardly, then immediately knelt as well. "Lord, I didn't mean that either. It was Scorpion King and Doctor Octopus's idea."
Doctor Octopus immediately protested his innocence. "Lord, I never thought that way. Whether you give out power seeds or whom you give them to, receiving one is an honor. Subordinates like us should accept that willingly and sincerely. So this was all Scorpion King's idea."
Scorpion King: "Meow, meow, meow?!"
"Lord, I've been wronged!" Scorpion King's eight mechanical legs immediately went limp. Even though he had brutal thoughts in his heart, his survival instinct now kept them firmly suppressed, without the slightest lapse.
Looking at the four spineless men, Wu Chen couldn't help blinking. He had intended to subdue the four of them just now, but he hadn't expected them to submit outright, and in such a spineless manner.
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Wu Chen no longer intended to assert his authority. "Hmph. I'll spare you this time. There won't be a next time."
"As for Chakra power seeds, it's not as though I can't give them to you. That depends on your performance."
Bullseye, Green Goblin, and the other two were instantly overjoyed. They had thought they'd messed up, but there was still a chance!
Isn't it just working for him? Being his lackeys? Who can't do that?
And Kingpin, who would've guessed that someone as upright-looking as you had already seen this coming, and that's why you were so quick to acknowledge Lord as your master!
How cunning!
Seeing the four of them rejoicing, Kingpin's face immediately hardened. He barked in a low voice, "Aren't you going to thank Lord?!"
The four villains immediately came to their senses and hurriedly bowed in thanks.
Wu Chen waved a hand, looking unconcerned. "Now that we've established which side we're on, it's time for me to put you to work."
