111: Chapter 111: The Great Xia Lord's Technological Sharing – A Bountiful Harvest.

Xu Xuan clicked on the reward details.

[defender of the human race Title Effect: You do not need to cultivate; your strength will automatically reach the Peak Realm following the era of your territory.]

This title was quite interesting. His territory was currently in the early stages of Spiritual Qi Recovery, so he was now at the peak of the early stage.

In other words, Xu Xuan didn't need to deliberately cultivate at all. As long as he upgraded the spiritual qi era within the territory, he would skip stages 1 to 9 and go straight to the peak.

At that moment, an invisible force surged from the Spirit Gathering Array on the island into Xu Xuan's body.

Spiritual qi washed fiercely through his meridians, granting him combat power on par with a divine general.

That feeling of total transparency, as if his Ren and Du meridians had been cleared at once, made him instantly stronger! The sheer exhilaration was incredibly satisfying.

Of course, the rewards weren't limited to just the title.

Xu Xuan's hand flipped through the air, checking the next reward.

[Reward: Spirit Mine Detector. You can use the detector to find spirit mines within a 10-kilometer radius.]

[Reward: New Building: Hundred Schools Academy (Can accelerate your culture's transition toward the Warring States period.)]

[Reward: 2 Random Era divine general cards!]

[You have defeated a total of three waves of enemies. Reward: Floating Island diameter expanded by 2,000 meters!]

This is great! If I can find a mid-grade spirit mine, I can advance to the middle stage of Spiritual Qi Recovery.

Hundred Schools Academy? Interesting. The people on my island are indeed uneducated and have been stuck in the shang and zhou dynasties without progress.

It seems these cultural academies are needed to civilize these people who have just emerged from primitive tribes.

While claiming the rewards, Xu Xuan did not click to expand the island. He would expand after leaving the battlefield; he didn't want to expand the Floating Island in front of outsiders and global lords for all to see.

Furthermore, these Random Era divine general cards were quite interesting!

Unlike the previous fixed-era divine general cards, these two cards could summon figures from throughout five thousand years of Chinese history.

Everything would wait until he left the battlefield and the global live stream before he drew them.

Xu Xuan looked toward Zhou Wu, Zhou Mei, and the others who were still on his Satellite Island.

They had stayed on the battlefield and seemingly received quite a few rewards as well.

Across from him, Zhou Wu laughed excitedly. "Aha! The system actually rewarded me with Gunpowder Technology. Awesome!"

However, after his excitement, Zhou Wu quickly calmed down.

The reason they were able to receive rewards was actually thanks to Xu Xuan lending a helping hand.

The other foreign lords had all fled, and those who ran away received no rewards at all.

At this moment, Miyamoto Takeshi, Jack, and the others could only watch the joyful Great Xia Lords on the live stream. They could only feel regret, beating their chests in front of their screens, lamenting that if only they had held on a little longer.

Zhou Wu quickly composed himself and waved to Xu Xuan. "Brother Xu! Thanks to you, we were lucky enough to receive some rewards, so..."

Zhou Wu was seen clicking on something in the air, and soon a window popped up in front of Xu Xuan.

[Great Xia Lord Zhou Wu has shared Gunpowder Technology with you.]

"Brother Xu, this was rewarded to me by the system, and it's also what you deserve! Thank you for your righteous assistance and for taking us in."

Seeing the Gunpowder Technology sent by Zhou Wu, Xu Xuan cupped his fists in response.

It had to be said that Zhou Wu understood social graces; for him to hold the position of the Great Zhou Alliance leader, his emotional intelligence was very high.

At the very least, Xu Xuan felt very comfortable. Saving his countrymen was morally right, earned him a good reputation domestically, and gained him technology.

This turn of events was truly satisfying—a win-win for both fame and fortune.

Emotionally, they were all people of Great Xia.

In terms of interests, they all stood under the flag of Great Xia, belonging to the same front.

Whether out of sentiment or logic, Xu Xuan would help his fellow Great Xia people whenever he could.

Seeing Zhou Wu's action, others followed suit one after another.

[Great Xia Lord Li Fei has shared Great Xia Sword Forging Techniques with you. The blacksmiths in your territory have learned to forge: Miao Dao and Tang Dao.]

[Great Xia Lord Zhao Yiming has shared Mountain Pattern Armor Forging Techniques with you.]

[Great Xia Lord Liu Yong has shared Sericulture, Silk, and Silk Fabric Techniques with you.]

[Great Xia Lord Zhang Guzi has shared Mortise and Tenon Structures, Roof Tiles, and other architectural techniques with you.]

[Great Xia Lord...]

Watching these twenty-odd Great Xia Lords share their acquired technologies with him one by one,

Xu Xuan suppressed his inner joy and cupped his hands. "My thanks to everyone!"

The lords on the Satellite Island also waved their hands repeatedly. "Not at all! It's all thanks to Brother Xu that we could receive a heap of rewards and save some of our elite soldiers. The system even replenished the population we lost."

In the moment of danger, Xu Xuan's righteous move to lower the Satellite Island had saved them and their elite troops.

Otherwise...

They might have really been bitten by the corpse-mutants and turned directly into walking corpses controlled by necromancy.

This was truly a life-and-death bond. When trouble struck, Xu Xuan really did save people.

After exchanging pleasantries with the other lords, Xu Xuan lowered the Satellite Island and bid them farewell.

After seeing off this group of lords, Xu Xuan then controlled the Floating Island, clicked to open the return teleportation gate, and vanished before everyone's eyes with the massive structure.

The biggest surprise of this battle was the heap of new technologies shared by his fellow countrymen. When the massive Floating Island passed through the giant teleportation gate and returned to its original territory,

Xu Xuan immediately began issuing orders: "Grand Preceptor Wen, I will establish the Hundred Schools Academy. You will arrange the cultural progress within the territory to enlighten the minds of our ninety-four thousand people!"

"General Chi You, I'll leave the sericulture matters to you. Find suitable silkworms in the wild."

"Nvba, use these new architectural techniques to renovate our palaces and residences."

Under his arrangements, everyone began their respective actions. Xu Xuan then looked at the newly joined Yang Jian.

"General Yang Jian, the training grounds in the east of the city are yours to manage!"

Clad in silver armor and holding his three-pointed double-edged spear, Yang Jian cupped his hands and answered in a resonant voice, "This general obeys the command."

Then Yang Jian turned. "Xiaotian Dog, let's go."

After handing over various matters to the divine generals, Xu Xuan also began claiming his rewards to expand the Floating Island.

It expanded from the original 4,330 meters to 6,330 meters.

A circular island isn't a straight line; as the island gets larger, the expanded area increases exponentially.

Expanding a 100-meter island by 1 meter only adds a little bit of area.

But for a 6,000-meter island, expanding the diameter by one meter adds a terrifying amount of new area.

It's not just 1+1. Basically, anyone who has had a bit of schooling should understand that the larger the circle, the more area is gained by expanding outward by 1 meter.

The vast amount of land newly added to the island now was enough to easily accommodate over a hundred thousand people.

Finally, Xu Xuan picked up the two Random Era divine general cards.

"Come then, let me see exactly what kind of legendary figures I can summon."
