Entering the Ghost Shadow Kingdom, and the Reason Behind the Numerical Limit!
Tang Hao was stunned by Tang Xiao's roar, then quickly came to his senses and roared back,
"Big Brother! What are you doing?!"
Hearing Tang Hao actually dare to yell at him, Tang Xiao was speechless. He couldn't carry this guy anymore, he really couldn't.
His stupid little brother had been tricked without even realizing it. A complete and utter brute.
"You idiot, you've been tricked!!!"
Tang Xiao slapped Tang Hao on the head, wishing he could smack the water out of his brain.
"Tricked?"
With that reminder, Tang Hao immediately realized what had happened.
"Damn it, Big Brother, what do we do?!"
Tang Hao looked around anxiously. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and shouted, "Hey, you over there! Bid again if you can! Come on, bid!"
Tang Xiao helplessly covered his face. Honestly...
He didn't know this guy. He really didn't know this guy.
Hearing Tang Hao's words, Xu Xin merely smiled faintly and said nothing.
Why bother with an idiot?
"Bid already!!"
Tang Hao roared again, but no one made another bid. Four million Golden Soul Coins was far too much, enough to make everyone back away, and the crowd began mocking this fool.
"What a spendthrift. Even one million would've been too much for me."
"What an idiot! It'd be great if those four million were given to me! Where did this idiot come from?!"
"..."
Listening to the discussions below, Tang Hao angrily punched the wall. "Big Brother!!"
Left with no choice, he could only turn to his big brother for help.
But Tang Xiao merely shook his head. What could he do? This was an auction house. Once a bid had been made, they had to pay for it.
The auctioneer's voice rang out the next moment. "Congratulations to the honored guest in private room number nine. This bottle of pills is yours. Someone will deliver it to you shortly!"
With the auctioneer's announcement, the farce came to an end.
When someone delivered the item, it would also be time to pay.
Not long after, the waitress named Xiao Qian knocked on Xu Xin and A Yin's private room.
"Honored guests, these are your auction proceeds. Our auction house charges a five percent handling fee."
"You had twenty pills in total. Our auction house used one, and we will pay you according to the auction price, which is two hundred thousand Golden Soul Coins per pill."
"After deducting the handling fee, this is four million Golden Soul Coins."
As she spoke, Xiao Qian handed Xu Xin a black card.
After accepting it, Xu Xin wrote something on a piece of paper. "After we leave, give this paper to the honored guests in private room number nine."
Xiao Qian nodded, accepted the paper without reading it, and soon left.
"Sister A Yin, let's go."
A Yin nodded. It was time to leave.
Their purpose in coming here had simply been to find the Ye Family. Now that everything was settled, it was time to return and develop their creations.
After Xu Xin and A Yin left, Xiao Qian arrived at Tang Hao and Tang Xiao's private room. "Honored guests, this is something from the guests in the private room across from yours."
As she spoke, Xiao Qian handed the paper to Tang Xiao. After doing so, she left.
The paper read: Thank you, you two idiots, for the Golden Soul Coins. I was the one selling that bottle of pills.
After reading the note, Tang Xiao immediately crushed it to powder. If Tang Hao saw it, who knew what would happen.
"Big Brother, what happened?"
Tang Hao leaned over, but found nothing.
Tang Xiao shook his head and said nothing. That man... deserved to die!!
He had to die. He had humiliated him and stolen the woman Tang Xiao had set his sights on. He had to die.
Fury blazed in Tang Xiao's eyes.
Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Having returned, the two of them began their busy lives.
After giving out his instructions, Xu Xin headed alone into the main hall.
Xu Xin leisurely sat upon the lofty throne at the center of the hall.
Looking down below, Xu Xin took a deep breath and drew two fingers across his brow. The eye on his forehead instantly opened.
"Open!"
At Xu Xin's murmur, the eye on his forehead shot out a black beam of light. The beam continuously condensed before him, soon forming a spatial entrance.
Xu Xin slowly rose to his feet, then leaped forward and vanished into the black mist portal.
As Xu Xin entered, the black mist here disappeared.
Ever since obtaining this External Soul Bone, Xu Xin's Spiritual Power had been sufficient to open the Ghost Shadow Kingdom. He simply had never had the chance to mention it.
Within the Ghost Shadow Kingdom, Xu Xin stood alone.
The surroundings were pitch-black, yet everything was incomparably clear in Xu Xin's eyes.
Strands of black energy continuously curled around Xu Xin within the Ghost Shadow Kingdom, making it seem as though his entire body was about to be corroded by darkness.
Sensing the black energy spreading across his body, Xu Xin did not hesitate to put on the Tara Mask.
The moment he wore the mask, he felt much clearer, and the irritability vanished.
"So many statues!"
The Ghost Shadow Kingdom contained countless statues, just as he had seen before: statues of Shadow Devourer Soldiers, Pincer Soldiers, Martial Soldiers...
There were statues of six types of Ghost Shadow Soldiers in total, while the other three types were no longer statues.
Clearly, because Xu Xin had already awakened their masks and could summon them, they no longer existed in statue form.
Xu Xin snapped his fingers, and Ninja Soldiers, Claw Shadow Soldiers, and Bat Soldiers appeared before him, respectfully kneeling at his feet.
With the mask on, Xu Xin looked even more like the ruler of the Ghost Shadow Kingdom.
Looking at the three kneeling troop types before him, Xu Xin became even more certain of his thoughts. Those statues truly existed because his strength was insufficient and they had yet to be unsealed, which was why they remained statues.
However, Xu Xin could be certain of one thing: here, he was the boss.
With a thought, Xu Xin arrived inside the great hall he had first seen before.
The same arrangement remained: one throne and nine ordinary seats.
Without hesitation, Xu Xin walked directly toward the throne.
The moment he sat down, Xu Xin felt as if he had taken control of this kingdom.
Wherever his mind pointed, he could arrive in an instant.
Everything within the Ghost Shadow Kingdom flooded into his mind at once: those statues, those dark auras.
"From now on, the Ghost Shadow Kingdom will be my main base."
Xu Xin thought excitedly. The Ghost Shadow Soldiers here were unlimited!
Only at this moment did Xu Xin understand why the number of Ghost Shadow Legion soldiers he could summon was so small.
Take A Yin as an example. A Yin was currently a Soul Sage and could summon seventy Soul Sage-level Ninja Soldiers. These seventy Soul Sage Ninja Soldiers were like the leaders of the Ninja Soldiers.
They were the strongest among the countless Ninja Soldiers. There were also ordinary Ninja Soldiers, but A Yin could not summon them because control rested in Xu Xin's hands. The other two reasons were that the masks and the Ghost Shadow Kingdom had not yet appeared.
The masks were like a medium connected to the Ghost Shadow Kingdom. Summoning seventy Soul Sage-level Ninja Soldiers had already consumed the mask's Dark Energy.
That was why the number that could be summoned increased alongside one's strength. After all, the mask's energy also grew stronger. But there were only so many of the strongest ones.
At level ninety, there would be ninety of the strongest.
That was what caused the numerical limit.
But now that the Ghost Shadow Kingdom had appeared, Xu Xin could summon those weaker Ninja Soldiers, otherwise known as cannon fodder.
After all, there were only so many of the strongest ones.
The masks had another purpose: after entering the Ghost Shadow Kingdom, they prevented one from being corroded by the dark aura within.
Xu Xin was in an excellent mood now.
There would be many more things he could do in the future. Although they were not powerful, their intimidating presence remained.
So now that the Ghost Shadow Kingdom had appeared, numbers were no longer a restriction, while the strongest ones still remained limited in number!
There was no limit on quantity anymore, but the number of powerful soldiers was still constrained.
He just did not know whether these restrictions would remain once he reached god level.
