He waved it twice self-consciously. A look of surprise crossed his face.
In the past, when he used a saber, he always felt that it was extremely light. Now that the Heavenly Halberd was in his hands, he felt very comfortable.
After swinging it a few more times, he liked it even more.
After a moment, he stopped moving and asked with a conflicted expression, âYour Highness, how much is this Heavenly Halberd?â
He asked the question carefully, but he actually couldnât come up with much money at all.
Although the Demon Executing Armyâs income wasnât low, he had a big appetite and consumed a lot of cultivation resources, so he couldnât save much money.
âYouâre a soldier worthy of a good weapon. Donât talk about money.â Zhou Shu waved his hand.
âIf you think it suits you, take it for now!â
âIt suits me!â Mei Nanchu nodded vigorously and said hesitantly, âBut I canât afford it. Why donât you give me some time? Iâll pay you back some money every month in the futureâ¦â
âWhatever you want.â Zhou Shu waved his hand indifferently. âGeneral Mei, are you participating in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament?â
Zhou Shu looked at Mei Nanchu and clicked his tongue in wonder.
Heâs indeed a talent.
His defense is comparable to between the sixth and seventh level of my Golden Bell Shield Technique.
Heâs inborn with it!
Updates by
Even if one cultivated the Golden Bell Shield Technique, they might not be able to reach this level in their entire lives.
Zhou Shu was overjoyed. If Mei Nanchu cultivated the Golden Bell Shield Technique, how strong would his defense be?
âYes.â Mei Nanchu touched the shaft of the Heavenly Halberd lovingly.
âThatâs great.â Zhou Shu smiled.?It would be a pity not to nurture such a good seedling.?âGeneral Mei.â
âYou can just call me by my name, Your Highness,â Mei Nanchu quickly said. âOr you can call me Little Chu. Thatâs what my mother called me when she was still alive.â
Zhou Shu sweated. He really couldnât bring himself to call him Little Chuâ¦
âNanchu, I have another unique cultivation technique. Do you want to learn it?â Zhou Shu asked.
Mei Nanchu was stunned for a moment. âBut I already have a cultivation technique.â
Shi Songtao slapped his forehead, speechless.
Do you have to hesitate over such a good thing? n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
You should have just answered that you wanted to learn!
In order to learn something, I almost sold myself into slavery. How dare you say that you already have a cultivation technique!
Zhou Shu smiled even more happily. Such an honest person gave him the greatest sense of accomplishment.
âThe Demon Executing Armyâs cultivation technique is actually not very suitable for you,â Zhou Shu said. âIf Iâm not wrong, youâve been stuck at the sixth rank for a long time, right?â
âYes.â Mei Nanchu nodded. âIâve tried very hard, but I just canât break through my bottleneck. Our grand commander said that my potential ends here. If I donât have any other opportunities in my life, it will be very difficult for me to cultivate to the fifth rank.â
Mei Nanchuâs expression darkened.
âYou donât have to take those words to heart,â Zhou Shu said indifferently. âAfter cultivating my cultivation technique, you wonât be just a mere fifth-rank martial artist. Even if you want to press the grand commander of the Demon Executing Army on the ground in the future, it wonât be a problem.â
âPress him on the ground? What does that mean?â Mei Nanchu was puzzled.
âThatâs not important. Answer me first. Do you want to learn it?â
âYour Highness, may I ask you a question?â Mei Nanchu didnât answer. Instead, he looked at Zhou Shu seriously.
âAsk away.â
âWhy are you so good to me? Not only are you giving me a yellow-grade weapon, but you also want to impart your cultivation technique to me.â
Mei Nanchu said with a serious expression, âMy mother said that money doesnât fall from the sky. Is there something you want me to do? I wonât do anything outrageous.â
âHaha.â Zhou Shu laughed. âItâs nothing like that. Nanchu, I need a guard during the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament. Come and be my guard, and the Heavenly Halberd is yours. Iâll also impart the cultivation technique to you.â
âIâm sorry, Your Highness.â Mei Nanchu looked extremely conflicted. He thought for a moment and slowly placed the Heavenly Halberd on the ground.
âI canât leave my brothers in the Demon Executing Army behind.â He gritted his teeth, afraid that he could not resist the temptation. He stopped looking at the Heavenly Halberd and turned to leave.
Shi Songtao stomped his foot in anger.?Does this guy know what he has missed?!
Who asked him to leave his brothers in the Demon Executing Army behind?
Canât the Demon Executing Army protect His Highness together?
What a blockhead!
âWait.â Zhou Shu stopped Mei Nanchu from leaving. âSince youâre unwilling, I wonât force you.
âYou can still take the Heavenly Halberd. As for the money, you can give it to me when you have enough.â
Zhou Shu kicked with his toes, and the Heavenly Halberd flew toward Mei Nanchu.
Mei Nanchu instinctively caught it. âYour Highnessââ
âDonât worry. I have no ulterior motives.â Zhou Shu smiled. âOther than the Heavenly Halberd, I will also impart that cultivation technique to you.
âBefore you say anything, I naturally have a condition, but it isnât an outrageous condition.â
Zhou Shu glanced at Shi Songtao.
Shi Songtao was speechless.?Well, now you think Iâm an eyesore, donât you?
Iâll leave!
He left, looking annoyed.
Only Mei Nanchu and Zhou Shu were left in the courtyard.
Zhou Shuâs lips curled up as he looked at Mei Nanchuâs burly figure.
âListen carefully. This cultivation technique of mine is called the Golden Bell Shield. Although the name isnât pleasant, itâs extremely powerful. If you cultivate it to the extreme, you can have an invincible body. Ten thousand troops can march over your body, but you wonât get hurt.â
Without giving Mei Nanchu a chance to refuse, Zhou Shu began to explain the cultivation method of the Golden Bell Shield Technique.
After an unknown period of time, Mei Nanchu was in a daze, and the voice in his ear had disappeared.
He was extremely shocked.
To be able to cultivate to the sixth rank of the Martial Dao, Mei Nanchu was not ignorant.
How could he not know the power of the Golden Bell Shield Technique?
It was precisely because he knew this that he was even more shocked.?Why would His Highness teach me such a cultivation technique?
âYour Highnessââ
âHave you memorized everything?â Zhou Shu interrupted. âWhat do you not understand? Ask now. After today, I wonât have time for you.â
âIâve memorized it,â Mei Nanchu said with a complicated expression.
âYour Highness, if you have any orders, please be direct. Iâm afraidâ¦â Mei Nanchu gritted his teeth.
For as long as he could remember, no one had been this nice to him except his deceased mother.
He didnât feel that he was worth Zhou Shu doing this.
A sixth-rank martial artistâs cultivation was not bad, but in the Demon Executing Army, there were at least a thousand people like himâ¦
He really couldnât understand why Zhou Shu was doing this for him. He had just given him a weapon and even imparted his cultivation technique to him.
He felt no excitement now, only fear.
âWhat I want you to doâ¦â Zhou Shu laughed. âItâs very simple.
âChange your name.â
âI donât like your name. Copper head and steel arms, a hundred battles without injury. From now on, change your name to Mei?Wushang1.â
âMei Wushang?â Mei Nanchu was stunned.?You gave me such great benefits just to make me change my name?
Changing his name was not a big deal in this world. There was no problem changing his name even though his parents had given him this name.
The problem was, did he have to go to this extent to make him change his name?
Youâre a king. If you want me to change my name, Iâll have to change it even if you donât give me anything.
Moreover, Mei Wushang sounded a little better than Mei Nanchuâ¦
âYour Highnessââ
âDonât get ahead of yourself.â Zhou Shu waved his hand. He couldnât bear to see a burly man behaving coyly.
âApart from that, thereâs something else I want you to do.
âIf you can do it, thereâs no need to say anything. If you canât, you have to return both the weapon and the Golden Bell Shield Technique.
âFor this matter, I want you to kill a hundred enemies at the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament!
âItâs not too late to refuse my request.â
Mei Nanchu, or Mei Wushang, was stunned. Was this a request?
He was supposed to participate in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament. Wasnât it his duty to kill enemies?
Killing a hundred was a little difficult, but it was not impossible.
âIâll do it!â Mei Wushang said earnestly.
