Zombie King: Picking up a baby at the beginning is the reincarnation of the empress

Chapter 428 The First Tier 6 Corpse Puppet!
After discovering the cause of the commotion, Lu Chuan stopped paying attention and shifted his focus back to the situation.

Outside a villa in Lijiang Base City.

Ji Ruxue, who was teaching Lu Chuan martial arts, saw her father come to his senses and asked curiously, "Dad, what happened just now? Did something happen?"

"It must have been the government's doing; all four bridges connecting the Li River to the outside world have been destroyed."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan replied.

He didn't care about the bridge being blown up. Anyway, with Flying One around, he and the high-level corpse puppets below didn't need the bridge to enter and leave Lijiang City.

As for the zombie horde that he stirred up, since it couldn't leave Lijiang City, he could simply run to other cities and stir up a zombie horde there.

"The bridge was blown up?"

Upon hearing that the Lijiang Bridge had been bombed, Ji Ruxue exclaimed in surprise.

Immediately, Ji Ruxue realized that the human authorities had no other choice but to destroy the Lijiang Bridge because they had no other option but to do so.

"Dad, you're amazing! The authorities can't deal with you, so they can only take their anger out on the Lijiang Bridge."

Then, Ji Ruxue smiled and praised her.

Lu Chuan readily accepted this, and Qi Qi was right; this time, humanity had finally learned its lesson.

Previously, the handling of Thunder Roar had finally intimidated humanity.

"Alright, let's continue training!"

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

To compensate for Lu Chuan's weaknesses, Ji Ruxue specially prepared a defensive martial art for him—the Nine-Patterned Spirit Armor!
It can activate the spiritual energy within the body to form a defensive spiritual armor on the surface of the body. This martial art is extremely similar to Erpang's skill - Xuan Guang Mo Jia.

The strength of the spirit armor on the body surface is expressed by the golden patterns on it, with one pattern being the lowest and nine patterns being the highest.

Standing under the thick camphor tree, Lu Chuan recalled the spiritual energy circulation route related to the Nine-Patterned Spirit Armor in his mind and began to try to adjust the spiritual energy in his body.

Previous attempts had all ended in failure, but Lu Chuan was not discouraged. It was normal to fail in the initial attempt of a new martial art.

It would be strange if it succeeded on the first try.

Soon, as Lu Chuan focused all his attention on the transformation of his spiritual energy within his body, a faint golden light emanated from his skin.

As time went on, the golden light grew brighter and brighter, eventually changing on the body's surface and forming a divine armor that covered the entire body.

At the same time, a golden pattern resembling a dragon took shape on the spirit armor, radiating a dazzling light as if it were alive, and constantly moving around.

Ji Ruxue, who was standing not far away, saw the spirit armor on her father and her eyes lit up.

"You've successfully condensed your father's martial arts talent into a one-patterned spirit armor so quickly, that's really impressive!"

A few minutes later, Lu Chuan's spiritual energy was finally exhausted. The spiritual armor on his body, following Lu Chuan's will, instantly turned into specks of spiritual light and dissipated into the air.

"Whoo~"

Feeling the emptiness in his body, Lu Chuan, having recovered, was panting heavily, with beads of sweat on his face.

He was only a beginner in condensing the nine-patterned spirit armor. Although he had successfully condensed the armor, the consumption of his spiritual energy was enormous.

"Dad! You're amazing! You've condensed the spirit armor so quickly!"

At this moment, Ji Ruxue walked over with a smile and praised her.

"It's alright, but the spiritual energy consumption is a bit high, so it can't be maintained for long during battle."

Hearing this, Lu Chuan smiled. "Don't worry, Dad. As long as you keep practicing, the spiritual energy you consume will be reduced to a very low level."

Ji Ruxue had cultivated this nine-patterned spirit armor in her previous life, so she naturally understood it very well.

Once you master this martial art, the spiritual energy consumption required to maintain the spiritual armor will gradually decrease.

"Okay, Qiqi, Daddy understands. Next, Daddy will definitely master this Nine-Patterned Spirit Armor."

Lu Chuan had his own guesses about this, and now that he heard Qi Qi's words, he was certain.

Then, Lu Chuan took out a few crystal cores, swallowed them, and converted all the energy inside into spiritual essence.

Once his spiritual energy had recovered quickly, Lu Chuan seized the opportunity and, under Ji Ruxue's guidance, began cultivating the Nine-Patterned Spirit Armor once more.

Time flies, and a month has passed since Zhao Lin blew up the bridge.

During this period, humans and Lu Chuan, the zombie king, lived in relative peace.

The major base cities that withdrew from Jiang Province have successively rebuilt new cities in Long Province and are gradually getting back on track.

Meanwhile, Lu Chuan didn't leave Lijiang City again, and stayed busy within the city.

During this period, the section of the Li River surrounding Lijiang City has been subjected to devastating "fishing." A large number of ferocious fish have been hunted down by Lu Chuan and turned into feed for various types of zombies in the zombie breeding base.

Outside the No. 1 zombie breeding base.

"It's time to create a sixth-tier corpse puppet."

Lu Chuan looked at the row of fifth-tier corpse puppets standing in front of him, his eyes flashing, and he made a decision.

As a sixth-tier zombie king, Lu Chuan is now able to control sixth-tier zombie puppets, and his desire for sixth-tier zombie puppets is growing stronger.

The reason why I didn't promote a sixth-tier corpse puppet before was naturally because I had too few fifth-tier corpse puppets under my command.

There are only six fifth-tier corpse puppets. If four of them are sacrificed for advancement, then only two will be left.

If danger were to strike during this time, Lu Chuan would be in an awkward position.

Now, a month has passed, and Lu Chuan has twelve fifth-tier corpse puppets under his command. The time is ripe.

Next, the fifth-order crystal cores will be taken from these fifth-order corpse puppets as materials for their advancement.

Erpang, Undying Number One, and other fifth-tier corpse puppets who had previously rendered great service to him were naturally not among Lu Chuan's targets for obtaining cores. Lu Chuan set his sights on the remaining six newly promoted fifth-tier corpse puppets.

As soon as Lu Chuan had a thought, four fifth-tier corpse puppets emerged from the queue.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
The next moment, Undying Number One moved instantly. Its long, blood-scaled tongue, which had been charging up for a long time, shot out and instantly caused the heads of the four fifth-tier corpse puppets to explode one by one, with continuous booming sounds, and brains and flesh flying everywhere.

A minute later, Lu Chuan looked at the four fifth-order crystal cores in his palm and began to think.

My first Tier 6 corpse puppet needs careful consideration.

Considering the impending invasion by alien races, the first sixth-tier corpse puppet should ideally be one with strong combat capabilities.

After thinking it over, Lu Chuan chose Undying Number One.

Despite not displaying the formidable attack power of Fire No. 1 and Fire No. 2 when dealing with Thunder Roar, Undying No. 1 did not reveal the same level of power as Fire No. 1 and Fire No. 2.

However, Undying Number One is actually the strongest in single combat. Not only is it incredibly fast, but it is also adept at both close-range and long-range attacks, with considerable power.

Whether it's a mage-type corpse puppet like Flame No. 1 or a physically powerful corpse puppet like Fatty, they are basically no match for Undying No. 1 in a one-on-one situation.
