"Using Wei Gao's Tianxing Group money for our own purposes." "With our interference, what other supporters could she possibly have?" An Wuyang shook his head: "Impossible." He knew Lu Ding's temperament - anyone daring to reach out would get chopped starting from the hand all the way up to the head, chopped into tiny pieces. This wasn't just about chopping hands for reaching or feet for stepping. "By then, behind her there'll be no one except us and the Great Han." "She enjoys power, wealth, and resources, gets her revenge, vents her grievances. We complete our mission, the Great Han's special economic zone develops better. Isn't this killing multiple birds with one stone?" An Wuyang finally understood why the Great Han's 749 Bureau held Lu Ding in such high regard. Of course, this evaluation excluded talent and combat ability. Purely regarding how he handled matters. Because when Lu Ding did something, he didn't just meet expectations - he exceeded them spectacularly. Like adding wings to a tiger or pupils to a dragon. Ask him to release a national calamity? He'd already planned out the future economic zone for you. An Wuyang looked at Lu Ding. When he eventually reached the Second Circle, secured territory, established good relations with Great Han, and went to restore his kingdom, he absolutely must recruit Lu Ding's help! Bestow him the title of Dual-Wisdom Equal King!! One man handling both civil and military affairs, achieving success internally and externally. With their combined powers, wouldn't they be invincible? Hahahaha... The kingdom's restoration would be assured!!! Yes! Must maintain good relations with Great Han, must maintain good relations with Lu Ding!!! Of course, these were matters for the future. Right now, An Wuyang's most important task was performing well, because after the mission, Lu Ding would reward him with an absolutely badass leather jacket!!! "Then should we go straight to Kim Gyeong-joo and forget about Kim Yeon-ju?" Lu Ding knew An Wuyang probably thought the foundationless Kim Gyeong-joo would be more malleable. Everything mentioned before were advantages. But there were disadvantages too. "Kim Gyeong-joo would indeed be simpler, but supporting her would be difficult with no foundation at all. I feel it would waste too much time." At least Kim Yeon-ju had some cultivation. Get full chapters from Nove1Fire.net Kim Gyeong-joo was currently just an ordinary girl. No matter how fast-tracked, you couldn't just magically give someone enlightenment realm cultivation and put them in the heir position. But Tianxing Group definitely wouldn't accept it! So she needed cultivation. Not necessarily high level, but at least Spiritual Sea Divine Palace realm? Lu Ding could kill people just fine, but teaching them? That's just bullshit! Even with forced growth, the most he could push someone would be Zhaoxuan Realm - beyond that he wouldn't know what to do. But here An Wuyang had some ideas. His partner wasn't just here freeloading. His tone turned excited. Wasn't this his moment to shine? As a former prince and Heavenly Perception realm cultivator, even a broken ship has three thousand nails, a starved camel is bigger than a horse - surely he remembered some valuable techniques? Lu Ding asked curiously. An Wuyang explained: "I know several complementary secret techniques, utterly unethical but effective, with minimal self-harm." "Just a few prerequisites: first, extreme pain; second, somewhat talent-dependent; third, requirements on the caster - the higher their realm the better, increasing success rate." "The last condition goes without saying - as Heavenly Perception, who else could enjoy such personal treatment?" "Kim Gyeong-joo's really lucked out today." "Get to the damn point already! Or I'll take back this jacket..." Seeing him ramble, Lu Ding grabbed the jacket. An Wuyang hurriedly stopped him, organizing his thoughts: "The first is called Demon Possession." "Sounds evil but works great. Basically seals numerous demons and monsters onto the body, then uses an extremely suppressive technique to control them for the recipient's use." "This part you can handle - if your stone tablet claims second in suppression, I've never seen first." So this was his plan all along. Lu Ding pointed at him: "You've been observing me closely." Moreover, this technique sounded familiar. Thinking carefully, wasn't this similar to what happened with that Great Han Heavenly Perception enforcer, the Human Rampage Guardian? So there was more to it? As he thought - how many truly unique things exist in this world? An Wuyang smiled: "Pure coincidence." "This technique solves Kim Gyeong-joo's lack of strength, just painful. Originally used by the Sun-Moon Dynasty to train Imperial Guards." With that background, no need to doubt its effectiveness - definitely worked. "You mentioned several techniques? What else?" An Wuyang glanced at Lu Ding's jacket. After Lu Ding released it, he said: "There's also Heaven-Defying Talent Theft - truly unethical." "Steals others' talents as nourishment to enhance the recipient's gifts. Won't produce top-tier monsters like us." "But can create a genuine genius." "Just significant waste - if three donors total 10 points, the recipient only gets 5-6." "Also depends on recipient's endurance. Regardless, final result always surpasses original talent." "But there's an upper limit." "And best performed on blood relatives to minimize waste." Damn, truly unethical. Lu Ding suddenly realized. Holy shit, Blood Skull Gu, Immortal Venerable is that you? An Wuyang continued: "With all these conditions, isn't Kim Gyeong-joo perfect? Tianxing Group has many bloodline descendants - surely they wouldn't mind us borrowing a few good ones?" Both burst into laughter: "Hahahahaha..." Even the street wind turned chilly with their laughter. These two didn't seem like good people. An Wuyang's tempting voice continued: "Heaven-Defying Talent Theft lays foundation, Demon Possession boosts realm." "Afterwards, suppressing demons requires your technique. If she disobeys, withdraw your technique - instant death. We even have insurance. What do you think?" Lu Ding hit the brakes. These people were all talents - he was tempted. Wasn't this better than supporting Kim Yeon-ju? Something you create yourself is most reliable.
