56 – Giant Wolf Molock
That boulder in the form of a giant wolf opened its eyes, that pair of white stone spheric eyes swept Yang Feng with a glance and then continued to lie prone, it spoke coldly: “I’ve already committed to memory the scent of his soul, take him inside.”
The Extraordinary life form of the Stone Clan, Giant Wolf Molock, that was the scientific name of the bolder in the form of a giant wolf. This extraordinary life form’s body was precisely a very high quality boulder, no matter if it was magical resistance or physical resistance, both were extremely terrifying. Adult Giant Wolf Molocks, every one of them possessed terrifying battle prowess comparable to a pinnacle level-3 Warlock – additionally, they also possessed a formidable racial innate skill, which enabled them to smell the scent of any given person’s soul.
Within the world of Warlocks, there were all kinds of strange spells, such as changing, warping or masking one’s true features. However, the scent of a soul couldn’t be changed. And the scent of a soul, even if it was a great Warlock rank expert, except for some extraordinary experts, their perception was unable to be compared with that of Giant Wold Molocks.
That Giant Wolf Molock kept watch in front of this gate, anyone that would want to sneak into Warlock College Antalya’s inner court by changing their facial features, would find it extremely difficult.
Yang Feng bowed slightly in salute towards the Giant Wolf Molock: “I’ve seen Dalimuk Daren!”1
A Human’s life span was extremely short. A human official level-1 Warlock’s life span was around 200 to 300 years. A level-2 Warlock’s life span was around 300 to 400 years. A level-3 Warlock’s life span was around 400 to 500 years. Only a Great Warlock’s life span could exceed a 1,000 years. Extraordinary lifeforms such as Giant Wolf Molocks, in order to mature, they already required more than 400 years, their life spans were up to several 1,000 years.
This adult Giant Wolf Molock was also an extraordinary life form with a formidable intelligence. It’s status in Warlock College Antalya was very high, even comparable to that of the senate members. Yang Feng didn’t dare to slight such an extraordinary life form.
Dulimuk didn’t move at all, just like an ordinary statue, lying completely still.
Anya took Yang Feng through that gate that separated the outer court from the inner court and entered the inner court
As soon as they entered the inner court, Yang Feng felt that the air was filled with formidable elemental particles that by far surpassed those of the outer court.
After these days of studying hard, Yang Feng became clear on the fundamental principles of Warlocks’ cultivation.
Warlocks’ practiced cultivation by using special methods to absorb all kinds of drifting elemental particles and strengthening their physical constitutions as well as nourishing their soul forces. Soul force was the most basic source of power of an extraordinary life form, once soul force was unable to be upgraded, then the body would be unable to continue to evolve.
The key step for an Apprentice Warlock promoting to an official Warlock was to condense a soul seed, then the soul seed would act as the core and establish a sea of spirit force, breaking through the limit of a human’s body, evolving towards an extraordinary life form and solidifying one’s sea of spirit force into a level-1 innate spell.
Those formidable elemental particles, with regards to strengthening of ones physical constitution as well as nourishing one’s soul, they were extremely beneficial. In the inner court, by using a variety of extraordinary means, Warlock College Antalya gathered extremely rich elemental particles. To practice cultivation in such an environment, the cultivation rate was several tens of times higher than in the outer court.
Black Cottage possessed a three storey Warlock Pagoda. Inside that Warlock Pagoda, only the elemental pool as well as the core cultivation room, only they had the density of elemental particles slightly higher than that of the inner court’s.2
“Its truly worthy of being one of the six great cultivation holy lands in Turandot Subcontinent, truly deserving of its reputation!” Yang Feng slightly operated Magic Note’s Titan and perceived as formidable energy particles entered his body, making him feel very comfortable.
One after another Warlock Pagodas were located in the inner court of Warlock College Antalya, every Warlock Pagoda had a minimal height of four storeys.
The construction of one Warlock Pagoda was extremely costly. Generally, some small Warlock Clans basically couldn’t build Warlock Pagodas. Black Cottage’s Warlock Pagoda, several generations’ of efforts and money were spent in order for it to be build, moreover, it was still a three storey Warlock Pagoda, it simply couldn’t compare with Warlock College Antalya’s Warlock Pagodas.
Yang Feng made a rough count and discovered that the number of Warlock pagodas reached up to several hundred.
Those several hundred Warlock Pagodas formed an indistinct mysterious formation, surrounding and guarding 9 seven storey tall Warlock Pagodas. In the center of the Warlock Pagodas, the enormous Ancient Energy Absorbing Tree pierced straight into the sky, indistinct radiance flashed on the branches of the Ancient Energy Absorbing Tree.
“In Warlock College Antalya, there also bound to be precious elixirs capable of upgrading one’s soul aptitude. However, such precious elixirs must be small in numbers, furthermore, basically only level-3 Warlocks or Great Warlocks might grasp them. Unless I conquer Warlock College Antalya, otherwise, I’m simply unable to get hold of them.”
“Inside Warlock Pagodas, Warlocks were basically able to resist enemies that were stronger by a rank. If Warlock College Antalya was guarded by a Great Warlock, then currently, my mechanical legion’s rate of success was really too low. Unless my forces could expand by several tens of times!” Yang Fen creased his eyebrows tightly while contemplating.
Yang Feng was already doing his utmost in order to develop the mineral resources in his territory, under his crazy mining, Black-Rock Town’s mineral resources had already begun to dry up. On one hand, he was looking everywhere in order to purchase iron ore, on the other hand, he was searching for new mineral resources in his own territory. Even so, his production of raw materials were far from meeting his production capacity.
Within Yang Feng’s territory, the mechanical legion was already very large in numbers, but he still didn’t had any certainty in prevailing over Warlock College Antalya. The more he practiced cultivation on the Warlock Path, the better could he perceive the power of higher rank Warlocks.
Yang Feng exclaimed slightly within: “What a pity, all of the territories have currently a master! Furthermore, they all have Great Warlocks backing them from the shadows, it’s too difficult to expand.”
In Turandot Subcontinent, each territory had a master, even if those territories were controlled by some Warlock Clans or some small forces. But all of them had forces with Great Warlocks backing them from the shadows.
Yang Feng establishing Steel City was already his limit. Warlock College Antalya had already begun suppressing his expansion. Unless he was willing to attack the territory of Savage Claw, otherwise, it was very difficult to have room for expansion. Additionally, Savage Claw was a little bit more powerful than Warlock College Antalya, he was unwilling to randomly provoke such a formidable force.
Yang Feng contemplated silently in his mind: “In Turandot Subcontinent, the fertile land was already occupied. I could think of ways to occupy some barren regions. Solar energy, hydroelectric power, thermal power, wind power and even nuclear power, all of them could be exploited. However, first it’s necessary for me to accomplish my Warlock studies, only afterwards could I carry it out.”
In Nr.3796 technology tree, nuclear power wasn’t too advanced of a technology. It was already possible to manufacture large nuclear power plants. However, to build large nuclear power plants would still require a series of prerequisite technological structures, such as the heavy water refinery. At present, a variety of prerequisite structures was being build in Yang Feng’s territory, he would only need another year, and Yang Feng could manufacture large nuclear power plants, moreover, he could then officially manufacture killing instruments such as the nuclear warheads.
