112: Chapter 112 What? A halberd? A traitor who has served three masters?!
This kind of divine general card from a random era could directly bypass the current level of civilization.
With an excited heart and trembling hands, Xu Xuan tore open the first card!
As the card was torn, an anomaly appeared in the clouds above, and purple lightning flashed within the masses of vapor!
This entrance aura was quite something! It was likely a very fierce divine general.
Xu Xuan clenched his fists, feeling the thrill of the draw; his expectations were maxed out as he waited for that divine general to descend from the heavens.
Amidst the thunder and lightning, a bolt of dark purple lightning struck directly in front of Xu Xuan.
Within the thick smoke, a burly figure loomed. He stood a towering two meters tall, with two exceptionally vibrant red pheasant feathers on his head. In his hand, a fangtian painted halberd flickered with demonic qi. Fang...
Hmm?
Fang what?
fangtian painted halberd?
Upon seeing that weapon within the smoke, Xu Xuan's eyes widened as he pointed at the figure. "Damn it... slave of three surnames!? Oh no, slave of three surnames?"
As the smoke dissipated, the visitor's face gradually became clear.
This was definitely Lv Bu!
He was tall, burly, and powerfully built, clad in black battle armor with a bright red robe underneath.
Two feathers reached toward the sky, and a fangtian painted halberd specifically for slaughtering foster fathers was in his hand.
Having just landed, Lv Bu only heard the King say something about a slave?
Could the King be hinting that he wanted to take Lu Fengxian as his foster son?
At this thought, Lv Bu immediately knelt on both knees and shouted, "Lv Bu, courtesy name Fengxian, pays respects to Foster Father!"
Seeing the fangtian painted halberd drawing closer, Xu Xuan hurriedly raised his hand. "The closer the fangtian painted halberd gets, the further your foster father gets from you!!"
"Wait, wait! This King does not take foster sons."
He quickly rejected Lv Bu's attempt to recognize him as a foster father. Everyone knew that being Lv Bu's foster father meant living a life like an ox or a horse—short and brutal.
As long as one was a normal person, no one would want to be Lv Bu's foster father, right?
Hearing Xu Xuan say this, Lv Bu also quickly changed his tune. "My King, Lu has misheard. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Forget it, stand up. Also, put down that fangtian painted halberd first."
Xu Xuan motioned for Lv Bu not to get too close. After all, this guy's weapon had a tendency to backstab its master.
Although Xu Xuan now had the 'defender of the human race' title buff, and could probably fight Lv Bu to a draw, he still felt cautious.
After calming down, Xu Xuan took a look at Lv Bu's status panel.
[Divine General: Heavenly Demon Lu Bu]
[Era: General of the late Eastern Han Dynasty.]
[Introduction: Lv Bu's soul has been summoned. Based on his achievements in life, he has received a corresponding strength buff.]
[Combat Power: Scales with the current Spiritual Qi Recovery era.]
[Divine General Special Ability: slave of three surnames. This divine general can defect to the enemy. After gaining the trust of the enemy lord, he can kill them and take their place.]
[Special Ability Two: Recall. Even if this divine general has joined the enemy, he can be recalled to your command at any time.]
[Prompt: This Heavenly Demon Lu Bu will never betray you. You can rest assured when sending him to the enemy camp.]
When he saw Lv Bu's abilities, Xu Xuan was shocked beyond words.
Good!
What a 'slave of three surnames'!
Although his combat power was explosive, his greatest function was to be gifted to other lords, let him recognize them as foster fathers, and then specifically kill them.
Think about it, which lord could resist the temptation of a divine general defecting to their side?
Foreign lords who didn't understand the history of the Three Kingdoms would have no idea about the weight of being Lv Bu's foster father, right?
As soon as they saw a divine general joining them, they would probably wake up laughing in their dreams. They just didn't know when the fangtian painted halberd would appear in those dreams.
Lv Bu was currently keeping his head low, kneeling before Xu Xuan.
Xu Xuan spoke, "Fengxian, rise."
"This subject dares not!!"
Lv Bu continued to kneel there with his head down for some reason.
Xu Xuan was somewhat confused. "Fengxian, why not rise?"
"There is a beauty beside the King, how would this subject dare..."
Hearing Lv Bu say this, Xu Xuan realized that this fellow had a specific trait: lust.
If he were allowed to see Su Daji's appearance, would this Lv Bu trigger some passive skill?
Thinking of this, Xu Xuan could only wave his hand. "Fine then. Fengxian, you may step down for now. Go to the Divine General Training Ground in the east of the city and await further orders."
"Yes!"
Lv Bu, Lu Fengxian, kept his head down the entire time, not daring to glance at Xu Xuan or Su Daji.
He was afraid the King would misunderstand; it was better not to look.
After all, Lv Bu also knew his own reputation. In the eyes of people in later generations, it was likely already foul beyond belief.
His history was full of various misdeeds; the history books must have cursed him to high heaven.
As someone who had been a corpse since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, upon being resurrected and thrown into the Battlefield of Myriad Races, Lv Bu had also been injected with some memories by the system. He roughly understood that his reputation was quite poor.
Having finally been resurrected, he could not afford to make any more mistakes.
Especially under the restrictions of the lord system, if he had any disloyal thoughts or stray desires, he would be punished by the system.
So Lv Bu had learned to be smart. He would absolutely not look at the women beside the King! He would just keep his head down and withdraw.
It wasn't until he had left Xu Xuan's side that Lv Bu felt a sense of relief. Holding his fangtian painted halberd, he grinned and laughed wildly, "Ha! I never expected that I, Lv Bu, would have a chance to live another life. The mistakes I made in my previous life must not be repeated in this one."
As he spoke, Lv Bu walked along the streets of the Floating Island, observing everything with curiosity.
Looking at the people coming and going, and seeing the inhabitants of the city practicing martial arts in their spare time, Lv Bu was infected by the spirit of the people on this island.
"Mhm, not bad! Under the King's governance, the people live and work in peace, and every household practices martial arts and refines qi. This is truly a heavenly kingdom."
At this thought, Lv Bu secretly vowed, "In this life, I, Lu, must be a loyal and patriotic person who fights across the lands for the King. I must wash away the infamy attached to my name in the history books! With this demonic power of mine, I will surely be able to conquer a vast empire for the King. In this life, I must be a loyal official!"
Lv Bu was currently preoccupied with the thought of washing away his infamy as the 'slave of three surnames'.
What he didn't know was that Xu Xuan was currently calculating how to use his 'slave of three surnames' skill to let him wreak havoc on other lords.
Lv Bu knew even less that he might soon have to personally kill his first foster father of this life.
After sending Lv Bu away, Xu Xuan intended to use the second divine general card as well.
At that moment, the system prompted him.
[The diameter of your Floating Island has exceeded 5,000 meters. New building functions have been unlocked.]
[New Buildings: Floating Island Giant Cannon, City Protection Array, Resource Island.]
Hmm?
What are these?
Great Cannon?
Seeing the newly unlocked items, Xu Xuan was quickly attracted by the words 'Great Cannon'.
What did he like most? Things that were big!
The more powerful the weapon, the better. The Floating Island had now unlocked many new functions, especially this Great Cannon thing; he simply had to get it now.
However, upon seeing the resources required, Xu Xuan's vision went dark.
[Floating Island Giant Cannon: 500 spirit mines per unit (The higher the quality of the spirit mine, the stronger the power.)]
[City Protection Array: 5,000 spirit mines (The higher the quality of the spirit mine, the stronger the defense.)]
[Resource Island: 1,000 spirit mines (The higher the quality of the spirit mine, the more random resources are produced.)]
spirit mines...
Fortunately, he had the spirit mine detector rewarded by the system. It seemed he would have to search for some new spirit mines in the surrounding area.
