NOVEL WEB Chapter 80: Chapter 79 Ouroboros Tower.
Ouroboros City, Ouroboros Tower.
Ouroboros Tower, the tallest building in the city, and even in the world, with a height of a little more than 3,000 ft and 201 floors.
It is also the main headquarters of Ouroboros organization!
Nowadays, the Ouroboros Tower is even considered a wonder of the world by the people of the Douluo continent.
Even the two empires and Spirit Hall has acknowledged it as the most special building in the world.
This is because, the Ouroboros Tower is built by Rayne himself with high-level soul guide technology. Even space expansion magic and technology is used.
Magic, is without a doubt, the most convenient ability in Rayne's arsenal. As a Supreme Mage in one of his five simulation, even in his current weaker state, he can do pretty much anything.
The inside of each floor is like a dimension of it's own, with a space of 300,000 mile radius.
As a being with the greatest grasp over Space-time concept and laws in the universe, creating a separate dimension is child's play for Rayne.
It's like, there is a small world in each floor.
Basically, this tower is a combination of 201 small worlds.
The defense of the tower can withstand even the strongest of blows from gods of Douluo Divine Realm.
As a whole, the Ouroboros Tower can even be considered as a massive God level soul guide fortress.
From an outside perspective, it is also the most beautiful and luxurious building in the world at the moment, with very futuristic designs, unseen anywhere else.
Building it was not easy, even for Rayne. At least, in his current level.
Even with about a few thousand clones and high efficiency, it still took a lot of effort and time. Almost two years. Which is a lot, considering his expertise.
As for why he built something so ridiculous?
It's because he's freaking crazy!
At the beginning, he had simply intended to build a very tall building as an exceptional landmark for his Ouroboros city.
Then he felt like creating a dungeon in the center of the city.
Then, he went overboard and further expanded the space-time of each floor, pretty much making them a separate small dimensions.
In all honesty, he could've done so many other things instead of this.
By the way, the Yin Yang Ice Fire Pool was also moved to this Ouroboros Tower. It is currently located in the 100th floor, along with all kinds of spiritual plants and immortal herbs.
In the office at the 198th floor of the tallest building.
Within the dimension of 198th floor, there is a luxurious villa.
The villa of the Lord of Ouroboros organization, accessible only to a very few.
Rayne sat on a luxurious executive chair with his eyes closed.
Nothing could be felt from him, but his energy is constantly circulating in his body, making his body rapidly adapt to his Nine-turn energy (primal chaos energy).
Six years ago.
His cultivation has risen a bit too quickly, which caused his cultivation technique's progress to catch up with him slowly.
Now that it has been six years, his body, spirit, and energy have completely adapted to the Records of Primordial Evil' technique.
It has steadily progressed to the sixth level of the technique.
To be honest, he has always felt strange about this technique.
Because, according to the system, this technique, nor his modified Six Eyes, or it's actual name, Primordial Void Eyes, were part of the Gold-level novice pack he had received at the beginning.
The Records of Primordial Evil' is apparently the absolute pinnacle energy training technique/ability, according to the system.
Yet, Rayne was able to understand this technique instantly as soon as he came into contact with it.
He felt strangely familiar with this technique, as well as his modified Six Eyes.
As if it had always belonged to him.
As he was in deep thought, the door to his room opened, and there walked in Ah Yin and another woman with a mask on her face.
Rayne didn't mind their intrusion as he was informed beforehand. And even if it wasn't, he wouldn't care since it was Ah Yin.
At the same time, he noticed the change in Ah Yin's aura. Her soul power level has increased drastically.
'Level 86 already. Even her physique has been strengthened to a considerable level. Not just that. The quality and density of her soul power is also many times higher than before. Both her physique and mental strength has reached the level required for condensing the second yin-yang complementary soul core.'
'It seems I underestimated my own essence. And, she's still improving. The essence in her hasn't even been consumed by 20%. Ah Yin should be able to condense her second soul core and reach Titled Douluo pretty soon.'
When he looked at the other woman dressed in a black cloak and bore a mask, an interested expression appeared on his face.
"If I remember correctly, you're one of the few assigned with the task of monitoring Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, as well as the Shrek academy?"
"Chen Yuying, if I'm not wrong."
Hearing this, the black dressed masked woman straitened her posture, then bowed respectfully.
"Yes, my Lord! I'm shadow assassin number six, Chen Yuying, assigned to monitor the targets Tang San and Yu Xiaogang!"
Ah Yin also added from the side, "Young master, number six and the rest of the team has observed those people and seems to have made some significant progress. And today is also the day you had asked them to submit the report."
Rayne nodded, then asked them to sit as he prepared tea for both of them.
"Thank you, my Lord/young master!"
...
Shadow assassins! A group of people, mostly female trained in assassination arts of shadow element.
It dates back to six years ago, when on a trip to Heaven Dou City, Xiao Wu saw a bunch of women being caught as slaves, and was about to be forced into prostitution by the nobles and the brothel called 'Golden House'.
Xiao Wu who has a straightforward, or rather, borderline violently straightforward personality, couldn't stand this sight of pitiful women.
Rayne himself, although willing to lend a hand to help, is quite sure that just helping these people momentarily won't solve anything.
These things will repeat again with same or different women, as long as the core problems aren't rooted out.
Regardless, because of Xiao Wu's nagging, as well as Ah Yin and Shui Xin'er's tactic approval, Rayne took action to help these women.
But of course,
There's no way Rayne would just half-heartedly do something.
If he just let them be, it's all rinse and repeat.
Even if he wanted to include them into his organization, almost all of them had zero innate talent as a soul master.
When he was wondering how to settle these people, a brave girl among these rescued people stepped forward and made a request while kneeling to him.
"Please teach me to become stronger, so I can save those unfortunate, just like me."
It started from one girl, and it spread like wildfire to the other women as well, excluding a few who were naturally timid and cowardly.
Seeing this, Rayne came up with the solution of strengthening these women, and having these women do the task of targeting the nobles and the officials responsible for slave marketing and such.
He split out a clone of himself and had him do the work.
He, of course had means to strengthen these women to at least level 70 Soul Saint very quickly.
Holy Soul Brilliance Pill!
A pill that can make even a level 0 into level 70 very quickly. Of course, this pill comes with massive side effects. That is, the consumer's remaining life span is only three years left.
With Rayne's Divine Ability, 'Essence of All Things', which is evolved from the Reverse Cursed Technique from his millions of years of previous (simulated) life.
The lifespan problem is basically negated.
The other problem with this pill is, the downright horrible foundation, which pretty much makes one the worst among soul saints.
Even with special cultivation techniques, it would takes more than three decades to barely make up for the damaged foundation.
Anyway, with this pill, Rayne had more than fifteen ready made Soul Saints, albeit with horrible personal strength. They were even weaker than an average level 40 Soul Ancestor.
He made a time barrier and trained these women in a special cultivation technique 'Shadow Spirit Art' for five years, which in outside world was just three months.
The cultivation technique was of a pretty high grade, even when compared to Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill.
This allowed these women, now shadow assassins, to somehow makeup for their unstable foundation.
The top grade dark/shadow type Spirit Souls given to them for soul rings also further mended their foundation.
Rayne's ability as a teacher is quite impressive, to say the least.
He has millions of years of combat experience.
And he also has a domain that is perfectly suited for training others.
A domain that would make most people frown in disgust.
[Merciful Kitchen Domain.
In the coverage area of Merciful kitchen domain, your strength is weakened by 50% and your opponent's strength is enhanced by 100%. The perception and comprehension of your opponent is greatly enhanced and they are also granted the effect of 'Enlightenment'.]
During the activation of this domain, Rayne is a master chef, and his opponents are the ingredients. And the domain is the kitchen.
A disgusting domain from a personal strength point of view.
But this skill/domain is a divine skill for training those weaker than him.
Anyway, with Rayne's clone training them, they have become quite formidable, with speed, agility, stealth, observation, and silent and decisive attacks as their main strengths.
Now, even among most soul saints, their combat strength is not bad. In particular, their agility and speed is unmatched even by Agility-Attack type Soul Douluo under level 85.
...
"My Lord, here is the observation of Yu Xiaogang, Tang San and the Shrek Academy personnel till three days ago."
The shadow assassin Chen Yuying handed a file to Rayne.
Rayne motioned Ah Yin to accept it, which she did gracefully.
"Thank you for your hard work till now. You've done well." Rayne said lightly in a gentle tone.
"No, we're just carrying out our duties. Me, as well as other shadow assassins, will always be full of gratitude towards you for saving us and giving us the strength to save others like us, just like you did for us!" Chen Yuying said sternly, full of emotion.
Rayne smiled slightly, not taking her words seriously. He doesn't think he did something too great.
What he did for them wasn't even a percent of his capabilities. He could've provided them with better resources.
Regardless, he does admire the women for still sticking with their initial goals of saving other women with similar unfortunate circumstances, instead of being drunk in their newfound power.
Quickly and effortlessly gained power can corrupt people, pretty easily.
A modern world person can see this reference in most wish-fullfillment fan fictions or chinese light novels, mostly when systems or inherited strengths are involved.
Rayne didn't say anything more to his shadow assassin and gave her a storage soul guide bracelet.
Shadow assassin Chen Yuying looked into the storage bracelet, then was immediately shocked.
She saw fifteen left leg soul bones which looked to be of very high grade and age, as well as fifteen pills, which she is quite knowledgeable about.
Advanced grade Soul Ascension Pill!
A pill that has enough energy for a level 80 Soul Douluo to level up by at least two levels. It is a very valuable pill for Soul Saints and Soul Douluo.
"My Lord, this is..."
"Just shut up and accept it. It's the reward for your six years' worth of work. Remember your identities. You're my employees,not my slaves."
"Remember to give the other shadow assassins their share as well."
Rayne waved his hand and dismissed her.
...
After the shadow assassin was gone, Rayne looked at his beloved assistant Ah Yin and smiled teasingly.
"It seems that you're adapting to my essence quite well. Even faster than I thought."
Hearing his words, Ah Yin blushed slightly, especially the meaning of the 'essence' made her shy.
"Yes, young master. I'm... adapting well..."
Seeing her being shy like this, Rayne didn't try tease her anymore.
"Ah Yin, can you look through those reports for me?"
"Yes, young master."
