Chapter 66: Angel Armament

……

"Brother Cheng, what are these again?"

Ye Xinxia looked at the bizarrely shaped figures in black before her with a strange expression.

Could they be Summoned Beasts too?

"You can think of them as Undead Creatures," Lv Cheng said.

The Shadow Khan are shadow creatures born after the warriors who died under the nine great Shadow Generals merged with the energy of the Shadow Kingdom.

These shadow warriors possess no independent consciousness; they merely retain the skills they had in life and will wholeheartedly execute their master's orders, and their strength and intelligence are tied to their master, making them the perfect weapons.

"Undead Creatures?" Ye Xinxia was stunned. "Brother Cheng, did you awaken the Undead Element?"

"No," Lv Cheng shook his head.

"This is an ability of the Shadow Element."

Shendu had snuck into the Dark Plane a while ago, killed a Dark King, and seized a portion of the King's status; then, relying on Dimensional Summoning, he located Shendu's position, and under Shendu's manipulation, signed a Summoning Contract with the Shadow Kingdom located in the Dark Plane.

Due to the contact with the Dark Plane, he passively awakened the Shadow Element, and the massive influx of Dark Energy directly irrigated his Shadow Element Star Dust into a Star River!

Now, he can rely on Shadow Magic to summon the Shadow Khan and those special creatures from the Dark Plane at will.

However, since it is broadly considered summoning dimensional creatures from the Dark Plane, the Shadow Khan are subject to dimensional repulsion, and their numbers are constrained.

Currently, he can summon at most one hundred shadow warriors, all of whom are at the Servant-class.

If the number is reduced to ten, the strength of these ten shadow warriors will become Warrior-level.

If reduced to one, then this sole shadow warrior's strength will be Commander-level!

The total energy remains constant; the greater the quantity, the poorer the quality.

And Commander-level is the limit that a single Shadow Khan unit can reach; if one continues to pour Dark Energy into it, the shadow soldier will explode because it cannot withstand that much energy.

However, it is not a big problem; if the quality is insufficient, make up for it with quantity.

It is infinite anyway, so use them as you please.

"Pick one that you find somewhat pleasing to the eye to be your bodyguard," Lv Cheng said.

"Bodyguard?" Ye Xinxia was taken aback.

"Isn't Xiaotian enough?"

"Xiaotian can only fight, and the commotion is too big; the Shadow Khan can do many things," Lv Cheng said.

"I can't be by your side all the time, so when you have things to do, you can have these shadow soldiers do them directly."

"Alright." Ye Xinxia didn't say much more and began to choose carefully.

Too big, too fierce, too human-like, too unlike a human, too terrifying...

"This one." Ye Xinxia held up a tiny shadow soldier.

Shadow Eater!

Lv Cheng's face revealed a strange expression. "You really have an eye for things; this is the most dangerous one."

The strength cap of other shadow soldiers is determined by him, but for the Shadow Eater, he can only determine its lower limit!

The Shadow Eater can devour the shadows of living creatures and become infinitely stronger!

However, Shendu has already experimented with it; this thing is countered by the Light Element Magic of this world, and if hit by powerful Light Element Magic, the absorbed shadows will rapidly dissipate.

As for how Shendu tested it...

He heard from Bao Laotou that the Holy City had been attacked!

"Dangerous?" Ye Xinxia was stunned, looking at the cute Shadow Eater in her palm.

"Where is it dangerous?"

"Used well, it can defeat a nation single-handedly!" Lv Cheng said earnestly.

"..."

Ye Xinxia was stunned. "That exaggerated?"

"Not exaggerated at all," Lv Cheng shrugged.

"And its attacks can be retracted, which is very suitable for you."

The Shadow Eater can devour shadows, and it can also spit them back out.

Terrifying, yet merciful.

……

"Exchange student training?"

In the Dean's office, Lv Cheng, who had been suspended for several months, was finally reinstated.

"Don't tell me you want me to be an exchange student?" Lv Cheng's face looked strange.

Dean Xiao's eyelid twitched slightly. "Do you think that's possible?"

Although a Special Teacher has the status of a student at Pearl Institute, he is not a normal student after all; he wouldn't go so far as to use such an underhanded tactic just for the sake of a little face.

"I want you to lead the team; this year's exchange students have a training activity in addition to the sparring," Dean Xiao said.

"Anyway, you've been idle lately, so go out and walk around; don't always run to the Sanbu Tower."

Speaking of this, Dean Xiao didn't know whether he should complain a bit.

It was originally agreed that he would provide Lv Cheng with one week of training time in the Sanbu Tower per month, but this kid felt the time was too short and simply ran to the main campus, using only the Psychic element without using High-level Magic, and fought those main campus students with their Sanbu Tower training opportunities as the stakes!

The students could gang up on him, and if they won, they could get his monthly Sanbu Tower training time.

And then!

This kid won all those students' chances to enter the Sanbu Tower!

He had been causing such a ruckus these past few months that he almost regretted recruiting this kid.

Those kids on the main campus too, why were they so brainless?

Could a High-level Mage capable of summoning a Commander-level sub-dragon possibly have weak Spiritual Power?

Even if they only used Mind Magic, that would still be High-level combat power!

They confidently went up to gang up on him, only for everyone to be suppressed to the point where they couldn't even cast a single Magic spell...

Imperial Capital.

After visiting the major attractions along the way, Lv Cheng and his group arrived at the Imperial Capital Magic Academy.

As the top Magic Academy in the country, both its environment and various infrastructure were significantly better than Mingzhu Academy.

Of course, the most critical factor was the quality of the students.

After all, this was a region occupied by clans; most of the students here had sufficient resources supporting them from behind, and nine out of ten students were "pay-to-win" players.

Therefore, in the annual exchange student sparring matches, the Imperial Capital Academy won more often than it lost.

However, this had absolutely nothing to do with Lv Cheng.

He was here for sightseeing!

"Long time no see, Old Man Pang."

At the Imperial Palace Magic Association, Lv Cheng had come to find Pang Lai.

"What did you call my teacher?" Jiang Yu's eye twitched wildly.

Old Man Pang?

"Hehe, it's fine." Pang Lai smiled.

Song Qiming also had the nickname Old Man Bao; him being called Old Man Pang was nothing.

Moreover, he had already learned of Lv Cheng's background from Song Qiming; this child was also his junior.

"Why, have you considered it clearly, and intend to come and work with me?" Pang Lai asked.

"No." Lv Cheng shook his head.

"I'm leading the exchange students, just stopped by to see you, and additionally, to ask you a few questions."

"What questions?" Pang Lai asked curiously.

"..."

"Jiang Yu, you go out first." Pang Lai said.

"... Oh." Although curious, Jiang Yu still obediently left the room.

Lv Cheng took out a lady's bracelet, "You should already know my background; some time ago my Space Element reached the High-level, and then, I opened this thing."

"However, the thing inside..."

With a thought from Lv Cheng, a golden Holy Sword appeared in his hand.

The next instant, a bright light flashed, and a golden Angel Suit wrapped around Lv Cheng.

"What is this situation?" Lv Cheng asked in confusion.

He couldn't find the origin of this sword at all, but the energy within this thing was incomparably vast; even with his current cultivation as a High-level Mage and his Spiritual Power at the peak of the Fifth Realm, he could barely control it.

Pang Lai's eye twitched wildly, "You must never take this thing out when you are outside!"

"If you don't want the Holy City to come knocking at your door."

Lv Cheng was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"This is the Holy City's Angel Suit." Pang Lai covered his face.

"Legend says it is a powerful armament blessed by the Heavenly Father and is a holy relic of the Holy City; it went missing mysteriously twenty years ago, and the Holy City has been looking for this thing all these years. If they let them know this thing is in your hands..."

Su Meng, how did your son offend you?

Do you have to pit him like this?

You... no, wait!

Pang Lai suddenly came to his senses, "How did you put it on?"

This thing, just like the Parthenon Soul of the Parthenon Temple, is a holy relic created and bestowed by the "Heavenly Father" worshipped by the Holy City. Even the successive seven Archangels dare not touch it; if used forcibly, the light energy inside would burn even a Light Element Forbidden Curse Mage to ashes!

"I opened it, and it just jumped onto me." Lv Cheng shrugged.

"It put itself on?" Pang Lai was dumbfounded.

No, isn't this thing from the Holy City just a bluff?

Does this thing really have its own consciousness?

Pang Lai's expression was complex, "You had better not take this thing out for the time being; wait for me to help you inquire about it."

"What do you mean?" Lv Cheng asked in confusion.

"This set of armor is a holy relic of the Holy City, just like the Parthenon Soul of the Parthenon Temple. However, no one has been able to use this thing for over a thousand years. You putting this thing on now suggests that you might have some connection to the Heavenly Father worshipped by the Holy City." Pang Lai said.

Lv Cheng's expression was strange, "Then what if I wear this thing and run to the Holy City..."

"I suggest you do not do that!" Pang Lai interrupted.

"The infighting in the Holy City is also very serious. If you were to descend upon the Holy City in this manner, although you would certainly gain a large group of fanatical believers, you might even be revered by them as the Son of God."

"However, you could also encounter assassination!"

Wen Tai, back then, as the host of the Parthenon Soul and the Holy Son revered by all of Greece, the Great Sage, what was his ending?

In the eyes of the higher-ups, faith is merely a slogan.

If Lv Cheng were to rashly appear in the eyes of the Holy City, he would very likely encounter what Wen Tai encountered back then.

"Wait, you didn't tell Old Man Bao?" Pang Lai asked.

"I did." Lv Cheng shrugged.

"But he just took one look and told me to put it away immediately and never wear it out!"

Pang Lai's eye twitched slightly, "Then you are now..."

"Since he refuses to say more, I certainly have to find someone willing to say a few more words to ask," Lv Cheng said as a matter of course.

"I don't know many big shots, so for the closest one right now, I naturally can only come to you."

"..."

Pang Lai took a deep breath.

For a moment, he didn't know whether he should be happy or complain.

That this kid was willing to tell him about this kind of thing showed that he still trusted him.

However, Song Qiming had already told you not to wear it out, yet you still ran to the Imperial Capital to wear it for me to see?

This temperament of yours really is inherited from your mother!

There's a problem with this thing?

Hey! I don't believe it, let me try it first!
