Chapter 311 - - 309 Duge is the best at creating momentum_1

—————✧✧✧✧—————

Perhaps it was the motivation to become a Celestial Being in the Immortal Realm, or maybe he wanted to see if Wu Chang’s practice of skills was as rapid as he claimed.

Duge, like a true native, really imparted the Internal Cultivation Methods and martial arts techniques of the Dragon Teeth organization to Wu Chang.

However, Wu Chang had previously weakened himself and bravely recovered a minor wound, but he hadn’t had another chance to display his valor. His attributes had hardly grown, and his learning speed for Inner Strength was not fast.

Duge, without hesitation, cast a disdainful look at him, perfectly acting out a native’s mindset.

Wu Chang, knowing his own circumstances, gave an awkward explanation, “Princess, Mr. He, don’t worry, I just haven’t had the chance to show my bravery. Once the Princess faces a crisis and I grow a few times, my cultivation speed will naturally increase.”

Luo Shuang glanced at him, remaining silent, but her disappointment was hard to hide.

Compared to Duge, this guy was truly underwhelming. If she wanted to restore her country, she still had to place her hopes on her own master.

It seemed there was no hope in relying on him to check her master.

Duge smiled and covered for Wu Chang, “The Princess need not be too disappointed. The fact that Wu Chang could remember the flow of Inner Strength in one go is already far beyond ordinary people. When I first learned my skills, it also took me several days to get started!”

“Hmm, I trust my master’s judgment,” said Luo Shuang, looking at Wu Chang to comfort him. “Mr. Wu, do not be discouraged, there will eventually be a time and place for you to use your martial skills.”

A tiger fallen to the plains is bullied by dogs!

He needed to find a way to level up his attributes. Otherwise, he would be too passive.

Wu Chang sighed inwardly and, with a fist to palm salute, said, “Thank you for the Princess’s consideration.”

Luo Shuang nodded at him, then turned to Duge, “Master, where shall we go next?”

“Dragon Teeth,” Duge said. “There is a saying that a thief cannot be perpetually active, but one cannot be on guard forever. Instead of being on constant alert for assassinations from Dragon Teeth, it would be better for us to eliminate them first, resolve this hidden danger, and then make other plans.”

At the mention of Dragon Teeth.

Luo Shuang’s complexion changed dramatically, “Just the three of us?”

“Princess, do not panic,” Duge said. “Before, indeed, I was not sure. Now with Wu Chang joining us, defeating Dragon Teeth, I am fifty percent confident. Over the years, as an undercover agent in Dragon Teeth, I have some certainty in taking Dragon Teeth over for our use. Their intelligence network spreads far and wide, perhaps it could help us gather information on the Heavenly Demon, and also allow us to quickly grasp the situation across various regions…”

“Him?” Looking at Wu Chang, Luo Shuang frowned.

“It’s true that Wu Chang’s martial arts are not up to par, but I need his extraordinary healing ability,” Duge explained. “At a critical moment, as long as he can block a few strikes for me, I will have the opportunity to take down the leader of Dragon Teeth.”

Shit!

Wu Chang cursed inwardly, truly being treated as a human shield!

However,

Considering the current situation, he could not find another way to make a significant impact. Surely he could not simply storm a castle gate; that would indeed be brave, but it would also expose him.

Dealing with Dragon Teeth was indeed an opportunity…

Wu Chang, without hesitation, stepped forward, “Mr. He is right, in fighting Dragon Teeth I shall be in the vanguard and can also block the blades for the master. Where bravery leads, it can help me grow rapidly, which is a good thing for me.

But I must clarify one thing beforehand; the human body is fragile. Should someone sever my limbs, I will need Mr. He to block for me. Even though my healing speed is fast, it cannot reattach limbs. If my head were to be severed, I would be forced to return to the Immortal Realm, so my head…cannot be harmed…”

Duge looked at Wu Chang, his eyes revealing a shade of disappointment as if to say even Immortal Gods are no different. He shook his head, “Rest assured, at the crucial moment I will save you.”

Wu Chang clenched his fist quietly within his sleeve, feeling extremely stifled and increasingly resentful toward the warriors who controlled Chongming Country. If not for them, he would not have fallen to such a state, looked down upon by two destitute natives of a fallen nation.

Moreover, this He Xu was also quite annoying.

When he had grown stronger, he would certainly twist off He Xu’s head first.

To the Immortal Realm, he would directly send him off to meet his end…

…

Up next.

Duge did not enter the city but led Luo Shuang and the others directly towards the base of Dragon Teeth.

He had to make haste to build up his own foundation.

Relying solely on inciting peasant uprisings was too inefficient.

However,

Even though their target was directly at Dragon Teeth, Duge did not forget to continue recruiting followers for the princess.

After understanding the world situation, when Duge recruited those landlords and the wealthy, he purposefully disseminated much information through them.

…

Duke Dingguo usurped the throne, and the descent of the Heavenly Demon was divine retribution from the heavens against Duke Dingguo, meant to disrupt his reign;

…

It is said that when Duke Dingguo usurped the throne and executed the Qingwu royal family, by the time he got to the fourth princess, a sudden whirlwind blinded the rebel soldiers, and the princess was swept away by the wind;

Duke Dingguo sent soldiers to pursue and kill her, chasing her to Nanjiang. As the princess was left with no escape, a thick fog suddenly rose, and out of the mist galloped a white horse, carrying the princess across the river, eluding the pursuers.

Afterward, the pursuers discovered that the steed in the temple of the God War General had turned into a pile of mud;

The princess crossed the river on a mud horse, her destiny not yet extinguished.

Now, the fourth princess has already borrowed an elite force in Chongming Country to avenge her father and brothers, and she seeks to recruit Immortal Gods as generals.

If various Immortal Gods assist the princess in reclaiming her throne, she is willing to pour Qingwu Country’s resources into sweeping away the Heavenly Demon, saving the Mortal Realm together;

…

How could a woman possibly be the chosen one destined by heaven?

A woman leading troops is like a hen crowing at dawn, against the heavenly order. If the fourth princess could defeat Duke Dingguo, the world would likely fall into even greater chaos;

…

The fourth princess seeks only to avenge her father and brothers and does not covet the throne. Should anyone aid her in restoring her country, she will grant herself to them in marriage. After giving birth to a royal heir with the surname Luo, she will withdraw…

…

News like this spread far and wide, with both positive and negative spins, featuring contentious headlines, such as the topic of hens crowing at dawn, and whether the child born to the princess would still be considered of royal bloodline?

These hot topics sparked lively discussions.

People eagerly debated with one another, stirring up quite a commotion within Chongming Country.

Wherever Duge and his group went, rumors arose.

The fame of the fourth princess even began to eclipse that of the Heavenly Demon.

After all,

the number of Alien Warriors was too small, with hardly a few in each city, and under such pressure, most people did not dare to show themselves.

Over time, the common folk lost much interest in the Heavenly Demon.

Rather than focusing on the Heavenly Demon, it was more exciting to see how the fourth princess would avenge her father and brothers.

The tales of the princess being saved by the divine wind and crossing the river on a mud horse have become as thrilling as the legendary stories told by storytellers.

This time,

although the fourth princess herself was nowhere to be seen in the martial world, stories about her were everywhere.

…

Having witnessed Duge’s maneuvers, Wu Chang’s admiration for his strategic brilliance grew even more. With just one person and a group of tycoons, he had stirred up a storm, making the most of the current situation.

It’s a pity he had no troops at his disposal.

Had he possessed an army, he would probably have already been on his way to reclaim Qingwu Country.

Now, Wu Chang was increasingly certain that the princess’s quest to restore her country might just be one of the main plots.

And in it, the extremely resourceful He Xu played a very important role.

However,

Wu Chang wasn’t particularly averse to Duge’s tactics.

The setting of the Immortal Gods versus the Demon Realm was a simulation by a candidate from their planet.

Those who knew about this setting were mostly warriors from their planet, so anyone who used this excuse to join Luo Shuang was undoubtedly one of their own.

When the time came, he could use He Xu as an excuse to verify the newcomer’s identity and see if they could cooperate.

After all,

He Xu’s act of stirring the pot was quite characteristic of an Alien Warrior, so letting him temporarily take the blame should raise no suspicions…
