Shake the barbarians, shake the court, become a noble, and go against the universe!
These words were so domineering and shocking, but how many people could actually do it?
Yang Wu was not a fool. He could understand the meaning of these words, and at the same time, he understood that Xun Rui was right. He clenched his fists and said, "I can do it one day, but I'm afraid that it will take too long. Please guide me, Sir!"
Yang Wu's change of address from "Elder Xun" to "Sir" showed that Xun Rui's position in his heart had changed.
"Haha, you think too highly of me. I'm a strategist, not a martial artist. I can plan for temporary gains and losses, and I can plan for my death after a hundred years, but I can't help you become a noble!" Xun Rui's old eyes flashed with wisdom as he smiled.
"Then please help me plan for the next year, Sir!" Yang Wu replied. He had set a goal for himself. Within a year, not only did he have to completely shake off his status as a prison slave, but he also had to return to the Royal City and rebuild the Yang family.
It seemed like a very short period of time, but Yang Wu was extremely confident. This was because he had the Imperial Nine Mysteries Mantra and the Dragon Turtle Sea-turning Technique. Of course, he could not ignore the existence of Little Hei.
During this period of time, it had always been by his side. It did not take out any old medicine or spiritual medicine, but he knew very well that Little Hei had its own reasons for doing so. Perhaps as long as it was willing, it could take out old medicine or spiritual medicine for him at any time.
"Your martial bones are not bad, and you've also gathered enough Crimson Steel Ores. As long as you survive the Army of Death, you'll be able to live a carefree life. It won't be too late to think of a plan in the future. Why are you in such a hurry to set a year?" Xun Rui asked.
"I can wait, but my parents can't. My brother can't!" Yang Wu took a deep breath and replied.
"What a filial son. Then I'll help you plan for the next year," Xun Rui said with admiration.
You've offended the King, which is your first crime. You've caused your parents to lose their titles, which is your second crime. You've caused your brother to lose his position as the top scholar in the liberal arts, which is your third crime. If you don't solve these three crimes, you won't be able to find peace in your heart. However, the third crime is ultimately the first crime. With your current strength, you can't even protect yourself, so it won't be easy for you to get rid of these crimes. Even if you gather a hundred thousand kilograms of Crimson Steel Ores, you'll still be dead when you arrive at the Army of Death. The King won't let you live a good life, and even the girl who's protecting you won't be able to stop you. "
"Originally, if you follow the twelve words I just said, you'll make military contributions in three years and fight for the position of commander. In five years, you'll fight for the position of major general. In ten years, you'll be able to take the position of Barbarian General and return to your hometown in glory. When that time comes, you'll be conferred the title of Marquis. The royal family will definitely not dare to make things difficult for you, and the royal family will definitely give you a satisfactory way out. However, if you want to finish these ten years of work in one year, it's undoubtedly an extremely difficult road to heaven. However … since you want to plan for the next year, you'll have to be prepared for a slim chance of survival. That is, you'll have to be the vanguard of the Men of Sacrifice and become the King of Death.
What's the matter? "Xun Rui was in high spirits when he talked about planning, as if he was ten years younger. His temperament was incomparable to the past.
"What a wise man!" Yang Wu couldn't help but praise Xun Rui in his heart when he saw him like this.
If Xun Rui heard Yang Wu's words, he wouldn't know how many nights he would laugh from ear to ear.
"The vanguard of the Men of Sacrifice, the King of Death?" Yang Wu murmured softly.
"That's right. The Death Legion is a troop that uses prison slaves to charge and break through the enemy lines to kill the barbarians. Originally, the purpose of the Death Legion was to send the prison slaves to their deaths. Those who survived were either crippled or insane. However, more than ten years ago, a true 'King of Death' appeared. He comprehended the Dao of Death and became a King in one fell swoop. From then on, he intimidated the barbarians and was even conferred the title of Marquis by the imperial court. He has the right to act first and report later!" Xun Rui said calmly.
"The King of Death who is ranked in the top ten!" Yang Wu exclaimed in shock.
The Great Xia Dynasty had ten strongest Kings, and the King of Death was ranked in the top three. No one dared to challenge him in the Dao of Death. He had already been famous for twenty years.
"That's right, it's him!" Xun Rui nodded lightly and continued, "If someone can become a General in a year, they're already considered a genius. If you want to become a King of Death, how difficult is that? This King of Death stayed in the Death Legion for ten years before he killed his way out. If you want to kill your way out in a year, it's as difficult as ascending to the heavens. I advise you not to take this path. It's better for you to take it step by step!" Xun Rui suggested.
Yang Wu's eyes flashed with determination as he said, "Since there's only one path to take, even if it leads to the gates of hell, I'll still take it. The other paths take too long. I'm afraid they can't afford to wait."
Yang Wu could sacrifice his life, but his parents and brother might not be able to afford to wait. There was also that little slug who was already thousands of miles away from him waiting for him to meet. He would definitely be able to reach the peak of the mountain in three years. He would be able to reunite with his family and bring home the beauty.
"There are thousands of paths, but there's only one that suits you. Once you've chosen it, you'll have to walk it. Only when you've stepped on the path of death can you see the light!" After Xun Rui said that, he didn't say anything else and walked down the mountain with shaky steps.
Yang Wu looked at Xun Rui's back and bowed deeply. When he raised his head, Xun Rui's back was already nowhere to be seen.
At night, Yang Wu sat alone on the mountain peak. He looked at the knee-dark night sky and listened to the occasional wolf howls that came from the edge of the prison realm. His heart was unusually calm.
He thought of the torture that he had suffered since he was imprisoned. He then thought of the Supreme Nine Mysteries Formula and the Dragon Turtle Sea-Turning Technique that he had somehow obtained. He also thought of Little Hei, the spiritual dog that was following him. Only then did he regain his confidence step by step and attain the realm of a warrior. He was able to defeat the General Realm and defeat the boss of the prison realm. He obtained the 100,000 kilograms of Crimson Steel Rocks that he wanted and could leave this godforsaken place at any time. However, he thought of Shou Hou and Little Man. He had promised to bring them away. He didn't want to go back on his words, but when he thought of the pressing time, he became hesitant.
Yang Wu was born in a noble family and had experienced a series of setbacks. His wisdom had long surpassed that of his peers. He was not an indecisive person, but he was a person who valued relationships and righteousness. He was born with that in his bones. He did not want to break his promise.
"Gather another 200,000 kilograms of Crimson Steel Rocks for them!" Yang Wu looked at the moonlight that quietly revealed itself and said faintly.
At this moment, his heart was incomparably firm.
Although he wanted to grow wings and leave this place, he felt uneasy if he didn't bring the two important people with him.
Suddenly, a shadow appeared in the sky under the cover of the night. Yang Wu's heart skipped a beat. He activated the Supreme Nine Mysteries Formula to the extreme. He held a dragon in one hand and a turtle in the other and was about to attack the shadow. He thought to himself unwillingly, "I didn't expect to die like this!"
However, before he could attack, Little Hei on his shoulder barked first. "Woof, woof!"
Its voice wasn't loud, and it could only be heard within a few dozen feet. No one would pay attention to it, but the shadow that came from the sky had already landed quickly. It knelt heavily on the ground with all four of its limbs, and it only let out a low cry. "Awoo!"
Yang Wu's eyes widened as he watched this scene. His brain couldn't wrap its head around it. He exclaimed in his heart, "Could it be that this viscount's aura is enough to make this wolf king kneel here?"
Yang Wu was overthinking things. Lang Jie's gaze wasn't on him from the beginning to the end. Instead, it was focused on Little Hei on his shoulder.
"Woof, woof!" Little Hei stared at it with its small eyes and barked continuously. It seemed to be communicating with Lang Jie.
Lang Jie nodded repeatedly in response. It was as docile as a harmless big dog.
Yang Wu completely understood that this matter had nothing to do with him. He looked at Little Hei and said, "Little Hei, is it looking for you?"
Little Hei nodded humanely. It even wagged its tail anxiously and stroked Yang Wu's ear as if it was proud of itself.
"Then, does it listen to you?" Yang Wu could tell that Lang Jie was very respectful to Little Hei. It was like a subject meeting a king. That was why he asked this question.
Little Hei nodded again in response.
Yang Wu was overjoyed. He hurriedly said, "Then let it stay as a mount."
Since he was very young, Yang Wu had always admired those experts who could tame Spirit Demons as mounts. Riding on their mighty mounts and galloping on the road, how dashing would that be? Who knew how many beauties would fall head over heels for them.
However, spirit demons had already developed intelligence. If one wanted to subdue them, it would be difficult to subdue them without powerful martial strength and the necessary opportunities.
Most spirit demon mounts had been raised by humans since they were young. Such spirit demons were not weak, but they had lost some of their wildness.
In front of him was a wolf king. Yang Wu actually wanted to use it as a mount. If others knew about this, they would scold him. "Wishful thinking!"
However, if they saw the next scene, their jaws would probably drop in shock.
"Lang Jie is willing to be your mount!" Lang Jie said in human language.
Yang Wu opened his mouth wide and was completely dumbfounded.
He had only said it casually, but the wolf king had taken it seriously. This made him feel at a loss.
Little Hei barked repeatedly with a look of disdain. The wolf king was so frightened that it continued to kneel, not daring to make a sound.
Yang Wu came back to his senses. He was sure that the wolf king was very afraid of Little Hei. He suspected, "Could Little Hei be the eldest son of the wolf clan?"
However, no matter how he looked at it, Little Hei did not look like a wolf. It did not have any wolfish instincts. Its appearance was also very different.
At this moment, the wolf king spat out something. Yang Wu's eyes widened. He could not help but cry out, "Could … could this be a Companion Wolf Blood Crystal?"
The Companion Wolf Blood Crystal was an energy crystal formed when the wolf king broke through. The power it contained was not to be underestimated. It could be said to be a king item.
Just as Yang Wu finished speaking, Little Hei had already leaped over his shoulder and swallowed the fist-sized Companion Wolf Blood Crystal. Yang Wu instantly felt his heart ache.
