Chapter 631: Chapter 564: Intelligence from the Pioneer Chapter 631: Chapter 564: Intelligence from the Pioneer “This is my Pioneer occupational ability,” Tao Yu said.
“There are no side effects if I don’t absorb your power.
Would you like to feel it?”
Tao Yu looked at the members of the Fellowship of the Ring and asked.
That made the members of the Fellowship nod frequently.
“However, this ability requires my control over the team, and also your trust.
The more you trust and cooperate, the higher the compatibility and the better the effect.
Otherwise, it might not be very effective.”
Tao Yu’s words gave Gandalf a start in his heart.
He feared another Sauron, but after some thought, he did not stop Tao Yu’s attempt.
Though it was a temporary arrangement, they had traveled a long distance together and had grown familiar with each other.
Some trust could be extended.
And as everyone began to focus their minds, starting to form the power of the team and after connecting with Tao Yu in a remarkable domain.
Tao Yu let his power flow along this connected channel, granting them “Enchantment.”

Even if the compatibility wasn’t high and the enhancement was minimal,Tao Yu’s own considerable strength still resulted in a noticeable improvement for everyone.
Even Frodo and Sam, the two hobbits, could clearly feel the change in themselves.
“I feel like I could take on ten…”
Aragorn moved his limbs and said with some surprise.
Aragorn was quite confident in his own strength, which was indeed formidable.
Although it was nothing compared to the superhuman powers of Tao Yu and the Maiar, his combat strength was still above Boromir’s.
He could even exchange blows with a Jonin.
But now, he felt an indescribable power surging within him, as if a constant stream of energy was transmitting from his shadow.
Strength, speed, reaction, and even defense!
It seemed as if their shadows had autonomy.
“Hey, take this.”
Boromir threw a stone at Aragorn.
However, before the whistling stone could reach Aragorn, it was autonomously blocked by his shadow, caught in the shadow’s hand, and then crushed!
“Truly a miraculous power…”
Aragorn’s original strength was concentrated in his physical body, and he had no superhuman abilities.
Now, this control over shadows for defense and even forming armor felt very novel to him.
“What do you mean by absorbing our power?”
Legolas, the relatively calm Elf, asked out of curiosity.

“Just like this.”
Tao Yu casually absorbed a little power; although not much due to the compatibility, he still executed standard Elven Archery and instantly shot at a nearby tree, surpassing the original in penetration.
Legolas’s eyes widened as he watched Tao Yu effortlessly shoot through a tree thick enough for three people to embrace, using standard Elven Archery.
He felt as though some power was draining through his shadow.
But as Tao Yu released the effect, the sensation rapidly returned to normal.
Completely unlike the Underworld abilities he was familiar with, this was a mutually beneficial power.
Both parties could benefit!
And because of the significant disparity in power between them, the benefits they received were greater than those Tao Yu gained.
“Quite impressive…”
“A natural-born leader.”
“If you were to form an army, it would be invincible.”
The members sincerely commented.
Boromir, who had been eagerly throwing pebbles and testing it on everyone, exclaimed excitedly,
“I feel like we could join the Allied Forces and counterattack Mordor now.
We’re heading to the capital of Rohan, and I could perfectly represent Gondor to discuss…”
Although Aragorn was the true heir to the throne, without recognition, his authority over Gondor couldn’t yet match that of the steward’s eldest son…
…
Not to mention the Fellowship of the Ring’s long journey towards the capital of Rohan.
Saruman, along with Celeborn, returned to Orthanc.
Orthanc was a high tower formed by four stone pillars, over five hundred feet tall.
And surrounding it were a large number of mighty Orcs cutting timber and forging weapons.
Even though they had been heavily damaged in their first attempt to cross the river and attack, these mighty Orcs’ morale was unaffected; they remained eagerly preparing for battle.
“What are these things?”
Celeborn asked with some disdain as he glanced at the group of mighty Orcs.
Orcs were tortured and fallen Elves evolved and proliferated, and these mighty Orcs similarly gave him a very unpleasant feeling.
“My masterpiece, the mighty Orcs.”
Saruman glanced at Celeborn and said in a calm tone.
“To defeat Sauron, to conquer Middle-earth, we will need enough soldiers.
How many people can your Elf race muster?”
Saruman’s words left Celeborn silent.
He couldn’t refute them.
“Lord Saruman, I am truly very sorry for the mess-up, I don’t know why those Rohan cavalry were so strong.”
The Puzi, clad in the white robes of the Floating City, briskly walked over with two subordinates, apologizing very sincerely.
“Hmph, this matter has nothing to do with you.
I need intelligence now.”
Saruman stared intently at the three people, and even without doing anything, he exerted tremendous pressure on the three Pioneers led by Puzi.
Puzi felt the other’s aura, as well as the terrifying control over summoning floods earlier, which made him feel like he was facing the only Catastrophe Level grandfather in his family!
This made Puzi secretly alarmed.
Had his opponent become stronger, or had there been a deliberate concealment before?!
Perhaps Puzi’s own strength was not particularly notable, but having been born in the Floating City, his judgment, honed through constant exposure, was still exceptionally strong.
“Please tell me, I will hold back nothing!”
Puzi, in fact, had already informed Saruman of quite a bit of Pioneer intelligence, but it wasn’t possible for him to disclose every little detail.
There was too much and too scattered information; he could only distill it.
Currently, their greatest achievement on this side was actually helping the ‘Priest’ Lord make contact with Saruman.
Although they all wore collars, in terms of status, his was completely different from the other two.
Their role was merely to provide some proof, just to preserve this identity as much as possible!
“Do you know this person?”
Saruman pointed gently in the air, and the air twisted, revealing the image of Tao Yu.
Upon arriving in Middle-earth, Tao Yu had not undertaken any particular change in identity or concealment.
Sometimes, revealing some information appropriately could also be advantageous.
And upon seeing Tao Yu’s likeness, the expressions of the three Pioneers all changed slightly.
“It seems that you know.”
“Yes, he is one of our well-known strong Pioneers, nicknamed ‘Eight-Armed Vajra’ and named Tao Yu.
Based on the information I currently have, he is not weak.
He possesses World Breaker strength, and he’s not an ordinary World Breaker either.”
Puzi immediately said.
“World Breaker…”
Saruman’s brow furrowed slightly.
Only a World Breaker, these creatures?
Having dealt with these Pioneers up to now, he had already formed a rough outline.
Although he hadn’t faced a so-called World Breaker directly, it was said that this Puzi was nearly reaching that level himself.
Could the gap be this big?
Or was the man simply boasting?
It definitely didn’t seem like they were on the same level…
“Is the intelligence accurate?”
“At least ninety-eight percent accurate.
Although he’s not weak, he has a low status.
I was easily able to find out through my family’s intelligence channels…” Puzi spoke with full confidence.
The man was currently in the State Capital, having defeated the World Breaker Feng Te, even defeated the stronger Shi Di, and was suspected to have Duel Space abilities!
Knowing such information also meant his family was no ordinary one.
“Yes, Lord Puzi knows much more than we do.
There are many things we’re unclear about, even misled about,” the two Inner City Pioneers also added their assurances at this time.
This made Saruman’s expression change uncertainly.
He was confident that these three hadn’t lied to him!
However, he had never directly seen Tao Yu take action.
The attack that penetrated the mountain, they had said, resulted from a Dreadlord and a Flame Demon perishing together, with the opponent merely giving a push or two…
“With his cunning ability, perhaps that’s possible.
Could it be that his actual strength is not that strong, and it’s mainly that enhancement ability…”
Saruman began to deduce.
According to the intelligence here, that ‘Eight-Armed Vajra’ possessed a Duel Space ability.
Perhaps it was about pulling someone into an isolated space and then overwhelming them with an army of shadow creatures he summoned, plus his own enhanced abilities and the monstrous regenerative powers of those creatures to continuously wear down the opponent?
Saruman started to simulate the opponent’s set of lethal moves.
He imagined being suddenly transported into an independent space, where a horde of sinister Alien creatures leaped to attack him.
These Aliens, moreover, were empowered by some form of Kaji, faster and stronger.
Yet they were easily shredded by his own power.
Even if these shadow creatures had strong self-healing abilities and could regenerate endlessly, they posed no threat to him.
Annihilated by one powerful Spell after another, he then revealed the one behind it all and sent them flying with his Magic Wand.
“So that’s all there is to it…”
Saruman smiled slightly once he had confirmed the intelligence.
And to think he had been so cautious!
But this was good.
His ability to enhance an entire force was very strong.
He would have Tao Yu lead the Human Alliance to counterattack Mordor, while he himself fished in troubled waters, reaping the benefits!
Stable!
