Chapter 266: Strengthening The Workers, Preparing To Become Stronger (1)
Mei Nanchu, who was now Mei Wushang, was still in a daze when he returned to the base camp of the Demon Executing Army.
If he hadn’t remembered the Golden Bell Shield Technique clearly in his mind, he would have thought that he was dreaming.
“Lieutenant Mei, you’ve changed your weapon.”
“This weapon is domineering. How much did it cost?”
“Which workshop did you buy it from? I’ll get one too.”
Along the way, people kept greeting him.
Mei Wushang just answered them perfunctoryly, not telling the truth.
He was worried that he would cause trouble for Zhou Shu if he spoke nonsense.
His Highness thinks so highly of me. I mustn’t let him down!
His Highness asked me to kill a hundred enemies in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, so I’ll kill a hundred and fifty or even two hundred!
Otherwise, I’ll be letting down the Golden Bell Shield Technique that His Highness taught me and this Heavenly Halberd!
Mei Wushang’s eyes were full of determination.?Your Highness, you’ve treated me well, and I will repay you!
…
After finding a suitable owner for the Heavenly Halberd, Zhou Shu once again entered a closed-door state.
He really didn’t like superficial human relationships.
Compared to before, the only advantage was that the Huaxia Pavilion now had a deputy master, so Zhou Shu could completely escape from secular affairs.
Anyway, the deputy master was here, right?
For many days, he stayed in his forging room, studying his newly acquired forging knowledge.
It had to be said that in the past few days, the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword had completed a few more kills. He was now proficient in 300 types of forging materials!
Proficiency in 300 types of forging materials meant that Zhou Shu’s current forging ability was basically worthy of his reputation.
He was repeatedly trying to fuse different forging materials, trying to forge a black-grade weapon.
If not for the arrival of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, Zhou Shu would probably have remained in seclusion until he successfully forged a black-grade weapon.
But he obviously didn’t have that much time.
On this day, Chen Ji came to the King of the South residence and called Zhou Shu out of seclusion.
Zhou Shu said, “Did the great general send you to inform me that the army is gathering?
“Speaking of which, where exactly is this Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament being held? There are so many people from other nations. How are we going to get here?” Zhou Shu asked curiously.
Tens of thousands of people from each nation participated in the martial arts performance.
It was impossible for so many people to walk all the way to Chang’an.
It was impossible for Great Xia to let so many people enter.
Although the ten nations didn’t dare to start a war of national destruction, who could guarantee it?
Letting nearly a million troops from other nations gather in their own capital, if it was not being careless, it was courting death.
“You’re asking the wrong person, Your Highness.” Chen Ji smiled bitterly. He had been ordered to inform Zhou Shu to be prepared. The questions Zhou Shu asked were beyond his scope of responsibility.
“I know.”
Before Chen Ji could finish speaking, a voice came from outside.
Then a figure appeared in the hall with a whoosh.
Who else could it be but Sun Gongping?
Sun Gongping was thinner than before, but he was in high spirits.
He looked around and said, “Old Zhou, I know why you’re asking this.”
He was rather triumphant.
“How rude,” Zhou Shu said angrily. “Call me uncle!”
Sun Gongping: “…”
If you don’t mention this, we’ll still be friends!
“Tell me. How does it work?”
“Simple. They don’t need to come to Chang’an,” Sun Gongping said. “They can enter the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament directly in their own country.”
“In that case, why is there a need to decide who will be the host of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament?” Zhou Shu asked.
“There’s more to it than that.” Sun Gongping glanced at Chen Ji. Chen Ji understood. He smiled, cupped his hands, and took the initiative to leave.
After Chen Ji left, Sun Gongping whispered, explaining the situation, “When the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament begins, the emperors of the ten nations will use the Ten Imperial Cauldrons at the same time to open up a space. At that time, whoever the host is, their imperial cauldron will be in charge, and the other nine nations’ imperial cauldrons will be support.
“Although we can enter that space through the Ten Imperial Cauldrons, only the hosting nation’s imperial cauldron can obtain the most spiritual qi. This is what being the host means.”
Zhou Shu looked at Sun Gongping in surprise. He didn’t expect him to know this secret.
But Sun Gongping wasn’t from an ordinary family. It wasn’t impossible for him to know this.
Zhou Shu nodded. “Divine Constable Sun, who are participating in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament with? How about hanging out with your uncle? I can guarantee your safety.”
Sun Gongping rolled his eyes. “Go away. I’m not a divine constable anymore. I’m now a lieutenant of the Fiend Eradication Army. Please call me General Sun in the future!”
Zhou Shu couldn’t help laughing. Sun Gongping was really good at moving around. From the Divine Constable Bureau to the Country Protector Army, he now joined the Fiend Eradication Army.
“You didn’t come here to tell me that, did you? If you have something to tell me, just say it.”
He had known Sun Gongping for a long time. Sun Gongping was someone who wouldn’t visit without a reason.
“Hehe.” Sun Gongping chuckled. “Old Zhou, you know me best.
“It’s nothing. I am now a lieutenant of the Fiend Eradication Army. Our Fiend Eradication Army uses small teams as combat units. My team members don’t have any ranked weapons.”
