Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress - Chapter 428 - 439: The First Tier-6 Corpse Puppet!

Chapter 428: Chapter 439: The First Tier-6 Corpse Puppet!

After discovering the cause of the commotion, Lu Chuan no longer concerned himself with it and transferred his consciousness back.

Lijiang Base City, outside the villa.

Ji Ruxue, who was originally teaching Lu Chuan martial arts, noticed her father snapping back to reality and curiously asked, “Dad, what just happened? Did something occur?”

“It should be the human officials taking action. All four Li River Bridges connecting to the outside have been destroyed.”

Hearing this, Lu Chuan responded.

He wasn’t too bothered by the bridges being bombed. With Flyer One, he and the high-level Corpse Puppets below didn’t need the bridges to enter or exit Lijiang City.

As for the Corpse Tide that couldn’t leave Lijiang City, he could simply start a new Corpse Tide in other districts.

“The bridges were bombed?”

Ji Ruxue was surprised to hear that the Li River Bridges had been destroyed.

Immediately, Ji Ruxue understood that the human officials couldn’t do anything about her father and could only resort to blasting the Li River Bridges.

“Dad, you’re amazing. The officials can’t handle you, so they have to vent their frustrations on the Li River Bridges.”

Ji Ruxue then smiled and said, praising him.

Naturally, Lu Chuan gladly accepted this praise. Qiqi wasn’t wrong; humans had finally understood the threat.

Previously, dealing with Thunderous Roar had indeed intimidated them.

“Alright, let’s continue training!”

After a brief exchange, Lu Chuan once again focused on martial arts.

In order to make up for Lu Chuan’s shortcomings, Ji Ruxue specially prepared a defensive martial art for him—the Nine-Striped Spirit Armor!

It could stimulate the Spiritual Essence within the body to form a defensive Spirit Armor on the surface, quite similar to Er Pang’s skill—the Profound Light Ink Armor.

The strength of the surface Spirit Armor is indicated by the golden stripes, ranging from the lowest one-stripe Spirit Armor to the highest nine-stripe Spirit Armor.

Standing under a sturdy camphor tree, Lu Chuan recalled in his mind the Spiritual Essence routes related to the Nine-Striped Spirit Armor, starting to adjust the Spiritual Essence within his body.

His previous attempts had failed, but Lu Chuan wasn’t discouraged. With a new martial art, initial failures were quite normal.

If it succeeded the first time, it would be rather strange.

Soon, as Lu Chuan directed all his attention to the internal transfer of Spiritual Essence, a faint golden Spiritual Light emanated from his body.

As time passed, the golden Spiritual Light grew brighter, eventually changing on his surface to form a magnificent Spirit Armor covering his entire body.

At the same time, a golden stripe resembling a dragon took shape on the Spirit Armor, radiating dazzling light and constantly moving akin to a living creature.

Standing not far away, Ji Ruxue’s eyes sparkled upon seeing the Spirit Armor on her father.

“To condense a one-stripe Spirit Armor so quickly, Dad’s martial arts talent is impressive!”

A few minutes later, the Spiritual Essence within Lu Chuan was finally exhausted, and the one-stripe Spirit Armor on him transformed into spots of Spiritual Light and dissipated in the air with Lu Chuan’s intention.

“Whew～”

Feeling the emptiness in his body, the recovered Lu Chuan panted heavily, beads of sweat appearing on his face.

Though he successfully condensed the Spirit Armor, the Nine-Striped Spirit Armor consumed a massive amount of Spiritual Essence.

“Dad! You’re amazing to condense the Spirit Armor so quickly!”

Ji Ruxue walked over with a smile, complimenting him.

“Not bad, it’s just that the Spiritual Essence consumption is pretty high, not sustainable for long during combat.”

In response, Lu Chuan smiled.

“Don’t worry, Dad. With continued practice, the consumption of Spiritual Essence will reduce significantly.”

Having trained in the Nine-Striped Spirit Armor in her past life, Ji Ruxue was well-versed in it.

As proficiency with the martial art increases, the Spiritual Essence needed to maintain the Spirit Armor will gradually decrease.

“Alright, Qiqi, Dad understands. Next, I will definitely master this Nine-Striped Spirit Armor.”

Lu Chuan had his own speculations, and hearing Qiqi’s words, he was naturally affirmed.

Then, Lu Chuan took out several Crystal Cores, consuming them to convert their energy entirely into Spiritual Essence.

Once the Spiritual Essence within his body was restored rapidly, Lu Chuan seized the moment to resume practicing the Nine-Striped Spirit Armor under Ji Ruxue’s guidance.

Time flew by, and a month had passed since Zhao Lin blew up the bridges.

During this period, humans and Lu Chuan, the zombie king, coexisted peacefully.

The evacuated base cities from Jiang Province had successively rebuilt in Dragon Province, gradually getting back on track.

Meanwhile, Lu Chuan remained inside Lijiang City, keeping busy.

This period, the section of the Li River surrounding Lijiang City endured a cataclysmic “fishing,” with a large number of Fierce Fish being hunted by Lu Chuan and turned into feed for various zombies at the zombie breeding base.

Outside the Zombie Breeding Base No. 1.

“It’s time to create a six-level Corpse Puppet.”

Gazing at the row of fifth-level Corpse Puppets in front of him, Lu Chuan’s eyes gleamed as he made his decision.

As a level-six zombie king, Lu Chuan was now capable of controlling a six-level Corpse Puppet, his desire for it increasing day by day.

The reason for not upgrading to a six-level Corpse Puppet before was due to the limited number of fifth-level Corpse Puppets.

With just six fifth-level Corpse Puppets, sacrificing four for an upgrade meant only two would remain.

If danger struck during this period, Lu Chuan would be in a predicament.

But now, a month later, the number of fifth-level Corpse Puppets under Lu Chuan had reached twelve, the time was ripe.

Next, Lu Chuan needed to extract the fifth-level Crystal Cores from these Corpse Puppets to use as materials for the upgrade.

Corpse Puppets like Er Pang and Undead One, which had previously performed outstandingly, were naturally not in Lu Chuan’s extraction list; he set his sights on the six newly upgraded fifth-level Corpse Puppets.

With a thought, four fifth-level Corpse Puppets stepped out of the lineup.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

In the next moment, Undead One moved instantly, its long-stored Blood Scale Tongue piercing through the air. In an instant, the heads of the four fifth-level Corpse Puppets exploded one by one, creating a series of booms, brain matter, and flesh splattering.

A minute later, Lu Chuan looked at the four fifth-level Crystal Cores in his hand, pondering.

Creating his first six-level Corpse Puppet warranted careful consideration.

With the looming alien invasion in mind, the first six-level Corpse Puppet should ideally have a strong combat capability.

After some thought, Lu Chuan chose Undead One.

Despite not showcasing its powerful attack prowess alongside Flame One or Flame Two during the confrontation with Thunderous Roar,

Undead One’s individual combat strength was actually the strongest, with astonishing speed and adept close-range and long-distance attacks.

Whether against Mage-Type Corpse Puppets like Flame One or heavily built Corpse Puppets like Er Pang, one-on-one, they basically stood no chance against Undead One.
