Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 522: Chapter 350: Core Gu, Chess Soul

The Netherworld Water was incredibly powerful, but it could only be used through the three Core Gu. When used with the Reincarnation Cocoon, it could wash away a Player’s class information, seal memories, allow a Player to be reborn as a Chaos Egg, or unbind items.

When used with the Heaven-Reaching Gu, it could cleanse the mind and strengthen the Divine Soul!

When used with the Yellow Springs Insect, it became a potent poison capable of killing most living things.

Furthermore, the Gu Insects needed to be fed. If fed well, they would level up quickly. Conversely, if they were deprived of sufficient nutrients for a long time, the Gu Insects inside the Gu House would enter a state of hibernation, which would affect the functions of the Yellow Springs Gu Object.

As for the Gu Insects’ food, there were two main types. The first was Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence, such as Xueling, ginseng, Lingzhi, and the like.

The second type was blood. Any kind and any quality would do, but high-grade blood rich in energy, like Essence Blood or Spirit Blood, was best.

In addition, the master of the Gu House also needed to periodically feed the Gu Insects with their own blood, as this was the only way to strengthen their connection.

The Yellow Springs Gu Object also had expandable functions, but the master of the Gu House would have to research and develop them on their own.

’This Yellow Springs Gu House really is a top-tier Treasure. If it fell into the hands of someone who knows how to raise Gu, it would surely be incredibly powerful...’

Wang Yi tossed the Yellow Springs Gu House in his hand and shouted to Luo Feng on the peripheral stand, ”Hey, you Chess Soul! You said your cousin is the Gu Demon King of the Demon Realm Royal Court. Does he know how to raise Gu? Don’t tell me this Yellow Springs Gu House was meant for him?”

Luo Feng just snorted and didn’t answer.

Wang Yi didn’t press the matter.

He scanned the Chessboard Battlefield. There was actually still a lot of loot here—namely, Luo Feng’s ”Yellow Robes.” Previously, eight of them had been suppressed by the eight Five-Colored Mountains, but with Luo Feng’s death, these Yellow Robes were now completely inert objects.

’Might as well take this. Sending it back to the Royal Court as ecological nutrients would be good, too!’

Wang Yi muttered to himself and acted quickly, using his Breaking Sky Fist to send the Yellow Robes into his own Eco Battlefield.

There, staff would naturally be on hand to process these ”materials.”

In the process, Wang Yi also confirmed that his Breaking Sky Fist could break through the Chessboard Battlefield!

’The space where this Chessboard Battlefield is located might not be as solid as I thought. And the Breaking Sky Fist, derived from Panwu’s Great Power Divine Skill Heaven-Creation Law, is truly powerful beyond belief when it comes to space-breaking teleportation...’

Wang Yi mused silently.

The Chessboard Battlefield had not yet closed. Wang Yi looked up at the surrounding stands, his gaze sweeping over Li Xuanjun, Cheng Wuya, Jiang Wanggong, and Luo Feng in turn.

They were all Chess Souls now!

Originally, Li Xuanjun, Cheng Wuya, and Jiang Wanggong had been the Initial Chess Pieces gifted to Wang Yi by the system, but after their pieces were destroyed, they reverted to being Chess Souls.

Chess Souls could be made into chess pieces. As a Celestial Covering Chessmaster in charge of the Talent Chessboard, Wang Yi had the means to create them.

However, after a brief bit of research, he was frustrated to discover that at his First Rank as a Chess Master, he couldn’t turn any Chess Soul over level 100 into a chess piece at all.

Li Xuanjun and the others were all close to level 600. Wang Yi had no idea what rank his Chess Master skills would need to reach before he could turn them into chess pieces.

This meant that the four of them could only remain spectators in the stands!

Moreover, Li Xuanjun and the other two were on a time limit. After seven days, they would be automatically released and would inevitably disappear from the Chessboard Battlefield.

”Tsk, tsk. No pieces to use! Oh well, I’ll just take my time...” Wang Yi flicked his sleeve. ”When I, Wang Yi, play chess, what need is there for pieces? Taking the field myself is a fine option, too!”

After that, Wang Yi chatted idly with Li Xuanjun and the other two for a bit. Luo Feng kept his distance from them, neither approaching nor speaking. Wang Yi didn’t initiate a conversation with him either, and had no idea what the man was thinking.

A moment later, the Chessboard Battlefield closed. The scene before Wang Yi’s eyes blurred, and he found himself back in private room 666.

Inside the room were several Law Enforcement Envoys and staff from the Jade Palace. Wang Yi’s sudden appearance gave them all a start.

”Who’s there?”

”Who are you? Why did you just appear here?”

”Huh? Where is the Inspector?”

The people in the room cried out in alarm.

Wang Yi unhurriedly took out the VIP card Du Qin had given him and said, ”Don’t panic, everyone. I’m one of your VIPs, here for the auction! I was wondering what the situation is at the Jade Palace. Has the lockdown been lifted? Can I leave now?”

Everyone in the room froze.

The VIP card was real. There was no doubt about that.

But they didn’t understand. Why had this VIP appeared instead of the Inspector?

”The fight is over! Quick, go tell the boss!”

”Surround him first! Don’t let him leave! Wait for orders from above!”

”The Inspector should be back by now, too!”

”You can’t go. Please cooperate and wait here for our boss to arrive...”

The people in the room reacted quickly. They surrounded Wang Yi while someone went to pass on the message.

”Fine by me. Have the person in charge come out. I happen to want a word with him myself!”

Completely calm and composed, Wang Yi sat down on the sofa, took out some tea, and began to sip it unhurriedly.

Before long, the Divine Appraiser Du Qin ran into the room in a panic. He was startled to see Wang Yi, then asked, ”Where is the Inspector? Why isn’t he here?”

Wang Yi could tell that Du Qin held a high position in the Jade Palace. Meeting his scrutinizing gaze, he said, ”I didn’t see any Inspector. I did, however, see an arrogant little thief!”

”Hm? An arrogant little thief? What do you mean?”

Du Qin’s brow furrowed. A suspicion he didn’t dare to believe formed in his mind.

Wang Yi didn’t answer. Instead, he asked, ”I’d like to ask you something first. When are you going to deliver the final auction item, the Yellow Springs Gu House, to me?”

”The Yellow Springs Gu House... Th-that...”

Du Qin stammered, not knowing what to say.

Just then, another person burst into the room. He was tall and built like a bear, carrying two iron hammers the size of washbasins. He glared fiercely at Wang Yi the moment he entered and bellowed, ”So you’re the one causing trouble here? You’ve got some nerve! As a Law Enforcement Envoy, I must make you pay the price!”

’Who is this blockhead?’

Wang Yi glanced at the speaker and quickly accessed his information. His name was Wan Dajun, deputy captain of the Law Enforcement Team. His class was [Mountain-Shaking Frenzy Warrior], and his level was a shocking 450!

This Wan Dajun was short-tempered. He continued to yell at Wang Yi, ”Confess your crimes! Put your hands behind your head and don’t even think about resisting!”

Wang Yi took a sip of his tea and retorted, ”What crimes? What law have I broken? If you’re going to arrest me, state your reasons!”

”Hmph! You don’t know what you’ve done? Did you know that because of you, the entire Jade Palace has been locked down? None of the guests are allowed to leave! Let me tell you, you’re in deep trouble!”

Wan Dajun sounded perfectly self-righteous. Hearing his words, Wang Yi almost laughed in exasperation. He turned to Du Qin and asked, ”Who ordered the Jade Palace to be locked down? Who forbade the guests from leaving? Who exactly broke the rules, and who was trying to commit murder and robbery? I think you know the answers better than I do!”

Du Qin’s face was pale, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead.

Wan Dajun’s eyes darted around. He slammed his twin hammers together and bellowed at Wang Yi, ”What are you trying to say? Are you implying the Inspector broke the rules? That he tried to murder and rob you? That he came here to kill you?”

”What else?”

”That’s impossible! If he wanted to kill you, how could you possibly still be standing here in one piece!”

”Take a guess.”

”I... I can’t guess! But you’re definitely the one in the wrong! Surrender now! Let me tie you up first!”

Wan Dajun dropped his iron hammers, pulled out a rope, and was about to move forward to bind Wang Yi.

Du Qin hurriedly pulled him back. He cupped his hands in a fist-and-palm salute to Wang Yi, lowering his stance, and asked, ”If I may ask, sir, where is Inspector Luo Feng now? Has he already...?”

Wang Yi took another sip of tea. ”I told you,” he said. ”I didn’t see any Inspector. All I saw was a reckless little thief who wanted to commit murder!”

”And where is this little thief?”

”Whoops. My hand slipped. Used a bit too much force and killed him!”
