103: Chapter 103: The Training Grounds for Divine Generals - Special Units Unlocked.

When the crowd received the medicine, they realized that the medicine Xu Xuan sold was actually quite reasonably priced.

The so-called bottle of medicine was, in fact, a single tender slice of qingzi bamboo.

A tender slice of qingzi bamboo could be cut into pieces; one slice could be shredded into dozens of bits, capable of treating the weakness plague in many people simultaneously.

After getting their hands on it, the lords changed their tune one after another, talking at length about how Xu Xuan was truly a conscientious seller.

At the same time, a steady stream of gold flowed onto the Floating Island via the lifts.

Xu Xuan looked at the small mountain of gold accumulating before him, feeling quite satisfied.

From this single deal alone, he had received 13 tons of gold. It was truly enough for all the people on the Floating Island to enter the Qi Refining era.

At this time, the island's population was over 84,000, and 22,000 of them had already undergone training at the Battle Qi Academy. 13 tons of gold was indeed sufficient.

On one hand, Xu Xuan did need these foreign lords to serve as cannon fodder, letting them draw the attention of the Undead Legion.

On the other hand, Xu Xuan was also squeezing the surplus value out of them, taking all the gold in their hands.

Anyway, it was a waste for them to keep the gold; it was better to give it all to him alone, right?

Xu Xuan looked at the small mountain of gold piled in front of him and grinned: "Grand Preceptor Wen, arrange for universal advanced studies. Every civilian on the island must master Battle Qi techniques."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Grand Preceptor Wen replied excitedly with a cupped-hand salute. After all, in a world of constant warfare, if the entire island's population became Battle Qi Martial Artists, what would follow?

Grand Preceptor Wen found that his King's logical thinking was exceptionally coherent. When the King discovered that gold could accelerate cultivation, he would use any means necessary to quickly acquire gold and make the entire island's people stronger.

In contrast, some people couldn't bring themselves to lose face to get money, or were too thin-skinned, giving things away for free just because others said a few words.

Those kings who craved greatness and loved saving face were actually not few in number.

Grand Preceptor Wen was a veteran of three reigns in Yin Shang; he knew that the most important quality for a king was to be pragmatic!

From Xu Xuan, Grand Preceptor Wen saw the boldness that one should have when claiming kingship in these troubled times.

Beside him, Su Daji leaned even closer to Xu Xuan, saying in a voice full of admiration, "Your Majesty, you were truly so majestic just now. In front of the lords of ten thousand nations, you gave the dissenters a harsh warning. Truly, your concubine is captivated by Your Majesty's heroic bearing."

Seeing Su Daji clinging to Xu Xuan, Grand Preceptor Wen's face darkened: "You vixen, do not use your beauty to lead the King astray!"

A cold light flashed in Su Daji's eyes: "How would your concubine dare! I shall naturally assist the King with all my heart and soul!"

The Nine-Tailed Fox was very unhappy in her heart. When you lot assist the King, it's called assistance, but when she, Su Daji, does it, it doesn't count?

Who has been guarding the King's side? Who has been protecting the King's safety all along?

These people just have too deep a prejudice against her!

As for Xu Xuan, seeing the two of them about to start an argument, he recalled the relationships between generals—it was best not to have people who didn't get along in the same court.

However, he also needed to use his authority appropriately to suppress them; he couldn't allow these generals to keep arguing with each other.

Xu Xuan spoke coldly: "Have you two argued enough?"

With that one sentence, Grand Preceptor Wen and Su Daji immediately fell silent.

Grand Preceptor Wen immediately cupped his hands: "This old official is guilty. Please appease your anger, Your Majesty!"

"The guilty woman Su Daji should not have lost her temper before the King. Your concubine knows her mistake."

Su Daji's small face showed a hint of grievance, and her eyes held a trace of chagrin.

"Mm, I know you have prejudices against each other, but under the current circumstances, it is not the time for you to have conflicts."

"Grand Preceptor Wen, I'll leave the matter of arranging universal cultivation to you. I can rest easy with you handling it."

Hearing Xu Xuan say this, Grand Preceptor Wen's spirits rose: "Rest assured, Your Majesty. This old official will certainly handle the task you've entrusted to me properly."

After Grand Preceptor Wen left, Xu Xuan reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of Su Daji's eyes.

"Daji, you don't need to argue with others. This King sees everything you do."

Su Daji felt the King's warm, large hand gently caressing her face. Her heart swelled with emotion for a moment; she suppressed her joy, not daring to show it.

It seemed the King knew everything she had done.

The King understood her... She, Su Daji, assisted the King with all her heart, without the slightest selfishness.

Having received Xu Xuan's affirmation, Su Daji's expression radiated joy, and she began to actively massage Xu Xuan's shoulders.

"Your Majesty, you have been commanding the battle constantly. You also need to relax a bit; do not overwork yourself."

Xu Xuan nodded: "Mm, the second round of battle should be about over. I can relax for a while."

The second round basically had no suspense left after the 10 Death Knights were slain.

Moreover, the qingzi bamboo tender slices sold by Xu Xuan greatly solved the spread of the weakness plague, allowing the armies below to regain their combat power.

At this moment, the battle had reached its end, and a settlement screen appeared.

[Global Announcement: The Human Race has withstood the second round of offensive! Everyone, please give a warm round of applause for the lords fighting on the front lines! They are about to face the final offensive of the Undead Legion!]

The final round was coming soon, and many people showed the joy of victory.

With the Floating Island present and Xu Xuan's psionic cannons, surely the final round of offensive could be blocked as well?

At this point, everyone had placed all their hopes on Xu Xuan.

Statistics also appeared on the large screen.

[Second Round Battle Review.]

[Great Xia Lord Xu Xuan: Killed 10 generals of the Undead Legion, killed a total of 361,800 undead.]

[Great Xia Lord Zhou Wu: Killed a total of 61,000 undead.]

[Japanese Lord Miyamoto Takeshi: Killed a total of 54,000 undead.]

[US Lord Jack: Killed a total of 53,000 undead.]

[Russian Lord...]

Looking at the rows of statistics, Xu Xuan clicked on his own kills to take a look.

[Primary Kills]

[psionic cannons killed a total of 165,000 Rotten Corpses and Floating Corpses.]

[Ballistae killed a total of 139,000 Rotten Corpses and Floating Corpses.]

[Battle Qi Martial Artists killed a total of 50,000 Floating Bones.]

It seemed that with the infinite ammo for the psionic cannons, the efficiency of the 11 psionic cannons in killing enemies was even better than the over one thousand ballistae.

A ballista could only pierce through 2 to 10 enemies at once, whereas a single shot from a psionic cannon would evaporate all enemies within a hundred-meter radius. The efficiency was indeed different.

Of course, in this settlement, what everyone cared about most was the rewards!

When Xu Xuan flipped to the rewards list on the next page, his eyes instantly lit up.

[You have slain 10 Undead Generals. Reward: Unlocked a new Battle Qi branch — Divine General Training Ground.]

[Divine General Academy: Trained Battle Qi Martial Artists can follow a Divine General into the Divine General Training Ground, where the Divine General will personally be responsible for training the troops.]

[Currently Unlockable: Chi You Demon Soldier Regiment, Xing Tian Vanguard Warriors, Yang Jian Divine General Camp, etc.]

Seeing this, Xu Xuan discovered that many Divine Generals could unlock special unit types, and he wanted every single one of these legions.

Looking at the dozen-plus tons of gold before him—only children make choices; he wanted all of these special unit types!
