Chapter 1602: Legion Crisis (Please Subscribe)_1
Zhen Hua was stunned and asked in confusion, "Damaged? Why haven't I heard you mention that?"
For him, a Divine Craftsman, repairing Mecha parts wasn't a difficult task at all!
But what exactly had happened that the always cautious Mu Ye had to use his Mecha and it ended up damaged!
Mu Ye sighed, "Haven't I told you? Not long ago, during the exchange competition in Xingluo Land, I encountered an evil Soul Master from the Holy Spirit Cult, and I almost died at the hands of the Dark Blood Devil!"
He paused for a moment and then said with a light laugh, "To be able to come back alive and see you is already an extremely fortunate outcome amidst the misfortune!"
Zhen Hua's pupils shrank sharply, "What? There was such an incident!"
Originally, Mu Ye had spoken of it in a rather nonchalant tone, but Zhen Hua hadn't expected it to be so dangerous!
Mu Ye glanced at him, "Don't look so surprised. After all, the strength of that Dark Blood Devil has reached the level of an Ultimate Douluo."
"But if... my Soul Power rank could make another breakthrough, I definitely wouldn't lose!"
If he could reach the level of an Ultimate Douluo as well, coupled with the help of God Rank Mecha, he would definitely have the confidence to slay it!
However, unfortunately, the path of Mecha both made and limited him!
Zhen Hua's eyes flickered, "Understood, I'll take care of the Mecha for you. But what about you, you're not hurt, are you?"
Mu Ye moved his robust arms, "Well, I am the Sect Master of the Body Sect, after all, my body isn't ordinary strong. After resting a few days in the royal household of the Xingluo Empire, I've mostly recovered!"
Zhen Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief and said very seriously, "If something like this happens again, you must notify me immediately!"
He certainly didn't want his closest friend to suddenly perish without warning!
Upon hearing this, Mu Ye felt a warm current surge up from the bottom of his heart...
He waved his hand, "Don't worry, you're making it sound like I'm seeking death. It was just an accident this time. Let's not talk about such unpleasant things anymore, come and try the new dishes I've learned to cook!"
Having said that, he immediately took out an array of various dishes he had already prepared from his soul tool...
Seeing this, Mu Ye didn't pursue the matter further, "Looks like I'm in for a treat today..."
...
Night fell quietly...
Within the Soul Beast Legion!
In the meeting room reserved for Di Tian and the various ferocious beasts to discuss...
One of the ferocious beasts remarked with emotion, "After this period of tranquility, the influence of the evil Soul Masters on our legion has finally faded away!"
Another ferocious beast voiced its feelings, "Although that's the case, there are still some members of the legion who are dissatisfied with the boss's tolerance towards the evil Soul Masters' rampant behavior!"
"Tsh, those legion members don't know anything. The boss refrained from a fight to the death with those evil Soul Masters just to avoid greater losses. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to escape the consequences!"
"Have you all noticed that recently, the number of Soul Masters joining our Soul Beast Legion has significantly decreased; it seems to have reached a saturation point."
Upon hearing this, Bi Ji, who had been silent, explained, "Indeed, not all Soul Masters are willing to join the legion. A significant decrease in their numbers is expected!"
Although their legion had gained a considerable reputation, it was still not comparable to the top forces of the Continent!
Moreover, joining a legion was generally a choice made when there were no other options!
Di Tian's golden pupils turned towards Bi Ji and pursued, "Bi Ji, what is the current number of our legion?"
Without any hesitation, Bi Ji said, "Close to ten thousand. Although our numbers do not compare to powers like the Spirit Pagoda, we are still much stronger than the various Great Sects."
"However, in terms of strength, we're a bit weak; most of our members are below the rank of Soul King."
Di Tian's expression became more somber, "Does this mean that there are hardly any legion members, aside from us, who can be useful in the upcoming war..."
Bi Ji pursed her lips and nodded, "Although I don't want to admit it, that is indeed the case!"
The base number of Soul Masters is certainly important, but what truly determines whether a power is strong or not still depends on soul tools and high-end combat forces!
Di Tian took a deep breath, "If that's the case, then let's focus on soul tools, and arm the legion members to the fullest extent possible!"
Unexpectedly, Bi Ji wore a bitter smile and shook her head, "Di Tian, even I can't achieve that!"
This statement drew puzzled looks from the other ferocious beasts...
Under normal circumstances, Di Tian's commands would be strictly executed by Bi Ji, but now she'd outright rejected one...
This really took them by surprise!
Seeing the confusion on the faces of the ferocious beasts, Bi Ji had no choice but to explain again, "As our legion has grown, the funds needed have increased day by day, with just the simple provision of food already amounting to an astronomical figure!"
"Under this unsustainable model, the legion's savings have dwindled to almost nothing, and if we continue like this, the only result will be..."
Di Tian and the ferocious beasts fell silent...
With no funds, let alone developing soul tools, even maintaining the legion was extremely difficult!
The image of Gu Yue suddenly appeared in the minds of some ferocious beasts, and with hesitation in their voices, they said, "Why not... let the lord think of a solution?"
"Yes, if it's the lord, there should be a way to solve it!"
"Yes, I also believe in the lord!"
Bi Ji's beautiful eyes turned to Di Tian, asking, "Di Tian, I also think..."
Although she didn't want to trouble the lord either, the current situation left them with no choice...
Di Tian said seriously, "No, this is something we must handle ourselves!!"
The lord alone is taking on the burdens of Battle Armor and Mecha, which must be incredibly arduous!
They can't add to her pressure any further!
Otherwise, what would be the point of their existence if they relied on the lord for everything??
Bi Ji once again tried to console him, "Di Tian, I understand your thoughts, but..."
If they acted tough, they could potentially put the legion in danger...
By then, all the funds in the world wouldn't be able to save them!!
Di Tian emitted an intense aura of authority, his voice left no room for doubt, "No need to say more, this matter must absolutely not be told to the lord!"
After a pause, his golden pupils flashed fiercely, "As for the issue of funding sources, it's simple; since we have formed a legion, it's also time for them to start playing a role!"
Forming a legion was for the purpose of aiding the lord in the future, not nurturing a bunch of freeloaders!
This terrifying authority compelled the nearby ferocious beasts to lower their heads, tremblingly responding with a "Yes!"
Since the establishment of the legion, this was the first time they had seen such a terrifying side of Di Tian, naturally, they didn't dare to dissent in the slightest!
