âHow about you take care of the great demon then, Great General?â
âI donât have the ability!â Meng Bai said angrily.
He finally regained some of his Great Xiaâs God of Warâs composure and said seriously, âThereâs a great demon in the Demon Realm and more than ten first-rank martial artistsâ¦â
âWrong.â Zhou Shu shook his head. âMore than a hundred first-rank demonic beasts have come from the Demon Realm this time. Iâve killed a few, but I donât know if anyone else has killed any. I estimate that there are no less than a hundred first-rank experts in the Demon Realm.â
âA hundred first-rank martial artists?â Meng Bai frowned and looked at the others.
Including Meng Bai, there were only seven first-rank martial artists in the Great Xia army!
The number of first-rank experts in Great Xia should be considered high among the Ten Nationsâ armies.
Great Qin might have more, but not by much.
Even if there was an average of seven first-rank martial artists in each nation, it was only a total of 70 first-rank martial artists!
This was a difference of 30 first-rank martial artists compared to the Demon Realm!
Just these 30 first-rank martial artists were enough to make the Ten Nationsâ armies suffer. Moreover, the overall strength of the Demon Realm army was even above the Ten Nationsâ armies!
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
âIf we can hold out for three years and then leave this world, the Demon Realm wonât be able to do anything when this space closes,â Luo Ling said softly.
They all rolled their eyes at him.
If it was that simple, why bother with the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament?
Wasnât the purpose of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament to weaken the strength of the Demon Realm and relieve the pressure on the protective barrier outside the Ten Nations Continent?
Not to mention whether they could last until three years later, even if they really retreated then, what could they do?
If they couldnât weaken the strength of the Demon Realm, the Demon Realm might break through the barrier and invade the Ten Nations.
Even Meng Bai fell silent.
When armies fought, the weak never really defeated the strong.
Any victory was just luck and coincidence..
The so-called war depended on each otherâs strength.
The Ten Nationsâ armies were far inferior to the Demon Realmâs army in every aspect. How could they fight this war?
âThree years is a long time. Itâs still too early to think about what will happen in three years,â Zhou Shu said.
âEveryone, I came here mainly to discuss with you how to break out of this encirclement.
âRight now, weâre fighting a protracted war, so we still have to conserve as much strength as possible.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âGeneral Mi Ziwen will lead a thousand elite soldiers to coordinate outside. As for what you need to do, youâre the experts.
âAs for the dozen or so first-rank demonic beasts, Iâll stop them.â
Zhou Shu pondered for a moment and said, âBefore the great demon arrives, we have to break out successfully. Otherwise, I might not have the strength to stop the other first-rank martial artists of the Demon Realm.â
Zhou Shuâs presence should be the only good news Meng Bai and the others had heard.
The current situation diluted their excitement about obtaining the Cosmic Bangles.
Meng Bai came to the table and faced the simple map. He summoned everyone and began to discuss the breakout.
Zhou Shu was not interested in marching to war, so he simply walked out and arrived at Wang Xinâs camp.
Although they were allies, Wang Xin hadnât merged with Meng Bai and the others. He was stationed on a hill opposite the Great Xia army camp with his thousand men.
They were on opposite sides.
âGreetings, Side-by-side King!â
As soon as Zhou Shu walked into the simple military camp, he heard the soldiers greet him.
Zhou Shu nodded slightly, indicating that there was no need to be so polite.
âYou wanted to see me, Your Highness?â
With the Overlord Spear on his back, Wang Xin looked extremely powerful.
He was even more burly than Mei Wushang and naturally domineering. He was a perfect match for this Overlord Spear.
âWang Xin, let me ask you. Who is the commander of the Great Qin army this time?â Zhou Shu went straight to the point.
âItâs my grandfather.â Wang Xin didnât understand why he asked, but he still answered honestly.
âWang Mu? How many first-rank martial artists are there in the Great Qin army?â Zhou Shu continued asking.
âFirst-rank martial artists?â Wang Xin thought for a moment. âI think there are eleven of them.â
Eleven first-rank martial artists, Great Qin was indeed the strongest of the Ten Nations.
âWhat about second-rank martial artists?â Zhou Shu asked.
âSecond-rank martial artists? Iâm not too sure.â Wang Xin said.
Who paid attention to these things?
Who would pay special attention to second-rank martial artists?
If Zhou Shu knew what he was thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes at him.
What right did a fourth-rank martial artist have to criticize second-rank martial artists?
âWang Xin, donât you think youâre an embarrassment?â Zhou Shu suddenly changed the topic.
âIââ Wang Xinâs eyes widened.?How am I an embarrassment?
Why did he attack me personally?
Even if youâre the Side-by-side King, you canât spout nonsense!
âYouâre also the leader of the younger generation. My big brother, Mi Ziwen, is already a second-rank martial artist, and youâre still a fourth-rank martial artist,â Zhou Shu said with disdain. âIf I were you, I would be too ashamed to go out and meet anyone.â
Wang Xin: ââ¦â
God damn it, how can you compare us like this?
Mi Ziwen is a few years older than me, okay?
Wait, didnât he just break through to the third rank?
How did he become a second-rank martial artist?
Could it be that he broke through again after the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament began?
In that case, I really canât compare to himâ¦
âIâm already at the bottleneck of the third rank. It wonât be long before I can break through to the third rank!
âIn five years at most, I can also break through to the second rank! In twenty years, I can become a first-rank martial artist! Mi Ziwen might not be able to become a first-rank martial artist!â Wang Xin said confidently.
âIs that all youâve got?â Zhou Shu rolled his eyes. âWhat a waste of my Overlord Spear!â
Wang Xin: ââ¦â
The veins on his forehead bulged. If not for the fact that Zhou Shu was the Side-by-side King of Great Qin, heâ¦
He didnât dare attack eitherâ¦
Zhou Shu was an existence that could fight the Qin Emperor to a draw. No matter how arrogant Wang Xin was, he didnât think that he could fight Zhou Shu now.
If he did, wouldnât he be asking for a beating?
âItâll be too late if it takes you twenty years to become a first-rank martial artist,â Zhou Shu said. âI thought you could make me worry less. I didnât expect that I would still have to worry about you.â
Zhou Shu sighed repeatedly, making Wang Xin feel awkward.
Did you come here just to be sarcastic?
Itâs fine if you donât reward me with a Cosmic Bangle, but do you have to provoke me?
âI have an Essence Cleansing Pill here. Itâs an ancient divine medicine that has the effect of cleansing your essence and meridians. After consuming it, it can improve your physique and increase your cultivation speed.
âYou got a good deal!â
He tossed it casually.
Wang Xin subconsciously caught it, and the resentment in his heart immediately dissipated.
Essence Cleansing Pill? Improve my physique and increase my cultivation speed?
Is there such a magical pill in the world?
For me?
Wang Xin was full of gratitude.?It turned out the reason His Highness didnât reward me with a Cosmic Bangle wasnât that heâs biased but because heâs prepared the Essence Cleansing Pill for me.
Compared to the Essence Cleansing Pill, the Cosmic Bangle is nothing!
âYour Highness, how can I accept thisâ¦â Wang Xin said nervously. This Essence Cleansing Pill was really too precious. He felt a little ashamed to accept it.
Although he called Zhou Shu a king, Wang Xin knew that this Side-by-side King had never benefited much from the Great Qinâ¦
âIâm glad you know.â
Zhou Shu said angrily, âIf not for the grim situation on the battlefield and the fact that youâre a promising talent, do you think I would have given you the Essence Cleansing Pill?
âHurry up and swallow it, then work hard at cultivating. Arenât you ashamed of your fourth-rank cultivation?!
âHurry up and become a Grandmaster. Then break the formation and kill the enemy. I gave you the Overlord Spear because I wanted to see you become a true formation breaking overlord!
âWork hard. After killing ten thousand demon beasts, I will reward you with a Cosmic Bangle. If you can break through to the second rank in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, Iâll give you other benefits!â
