92: Lu Bu's camp, the real Lu Bu, the divine Zhao Yun!
Currently, the Wu Dynasty's Divine Extreme Realm combat power includes: Bai Qi, Nine Infants, Martial God, Heavenly Fox, Gu Qingxian.
Zhao Gao, the formless puppet, and the Underworld Monarch (Yun Ya) who is being transformed by the Divine Envoy of Yun Country.
Xuanzha, and Xia Xuan himself.
Exactly ten, no more, no less.
It seems that pushing through the Western Desert Blood Fiend Dynasty and the three great demonic sects would not be difficult.
However, for the sake of caution, Xia Xuan decided to use half of his tyrant points to continue strengthening the Wu Dynasty's national power.
He aimed to suppress all unforeseen circumstances when dispatching troops to the Blood Fiend Dynasty.
[90,000 tyrant points have been consumed for three one-star Divine-Grade draws!]
[Successfully drawn: Heroic Spirit Shard * 2]
[Introduction: Can be used on any Heroic Spirit to enhance its potential and strength. The lower the Realm, the greater the enhancement. Irreversible after activation.]
[Successfully drawn: Army Heroic Spirit — (Perfect Lü Bu) Lü Bu Camp]
[Successfully drawn: Military General Heroic Spirit — Divine Lü Bu]
"Hmm? Heroic Spirits can be drawn repeatedly?" Xia Xuan wondered.
The effect of the first Heroic Spirit Shard was clear at a glance.
What were the two drawn later? Didn't he already have Lü Bu's Military General Heroic Spirit?
Xia Xuan clicked on the detailed information and focused on checking it.
[Army Heroic Spirit — (Perfect Lü Bu) Lü Bu Camp]
[Introduction: One Lü Bu has been summoned. The remaining ninety-nine Lü Bus are all fierce general substitutes chosen by the true Lü Bu from the army, who once spread Lü Bu's Divine Might, striking fear into all sides.]
"Substitutes?"
Xia Xuan was slightly stunned.
Good heavens, the random general the System gave at the start was a mere foot soldier.
He continued to check the true Lü Bu's information panel.
[Military General: Lü Bu]
[Realm: Three-Chain Divine Extreme Realm]
[Divine Ability: War God Body, Primordial Divine Power, Eight-Armed Divine Bow]
[Weapon: square halberd]
[Mount: Red Hare]
[Evaluation: 'Brave but Reckless' is the highest evaluation for a military general.]
['Brave but Reckless' Definition: From 'Blazing Phoenix' 'Morale Theory']
[In battles between two armies, to boost morale, one often belittles the enemy and praises oneself. If the enemy general wins initially, one belittles one's own general as reckless; if the enemy general wins multiple times, one belittles one's own strategist as misguided; if the enemy general always wins, one then belittles the enemy general as brave but reckless.]
In battles between two armies, morale is extremely important.
If the enemy general is brave and resourceful, winning every battle, one's own soldiers will be intimidated before fighting, already losing half the battle. Therefore, one belittles the enemy general as brave but reckless.
"Did I draw the strongest Lü Bu in all the heavens? Not only an undefeated general, but also an invincible strategist?"
Xia Xuan's mind stirred, and he chose to summon.
He was somewhat curious about the difference between the true Lü Bu and those substitutes.
Before him, golden flames swirled, and a terrifying pressure rose in the hall.
Boom!
A majestic figure slowly solidified.
Even kneeling, he was over nine feet tall, clad in beast-faced armor with interlocking plates, wearing a three-pronged purple-gold crown, and carrying an eight-armed Divine Power bow on his back.
Beside him, the Red Hare was covered in dark golden heavy armor, and the square halberd stood upright, exuding a terrifying Divine Artifact Divine Might.
"Your son Lü Bu, greets Adoptive Father!"
Lü Bu knelt, his helmet obscuring part of his true face, his voice deep and imbued with majesty.
Xia Xuan: "..."
He glanced at the Lü Bu Camp's information again. All of them were in the Dharma Aspect Realm. They should have had their Realms balanced and elevated by the Divine-Grade draw.
However, why did this Lü Bu open his mouth to acknowledge him as an adoptive father? If he accepted, wouldn't he have one hundred and one adopted sons?
Xia Xuan subconsciously touched his neck.
Fortunately, the Heroic Spirits summoned by the System all had full loyalty.
Otherwise, he would want to get rid of Lü Bu right now.
"You..."
Xia Xuan frowned, looking at Lü Bu.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me, this subject misspoke."
Lü Bu changed the subject, saying, "I wonder what Your Majesty thinks of my humble daughter? A daughter is not suited for wielding weapons. If Your Majesty has any intentions..."
Xia Xuan's expression was strange. He was amused by him. This fellow couldn't become an adopted son, so he turned around and wanted to be his father-in-law?
"Someone, summon Zhao Yun and Yuan Tiangang to an audience."
Xia Xuan interrupted Lü Bu.
Lü Lingqi's beauty was unparalleled, that was beyond doubt.
But Xia Xuan did not want to keep her in the palace to become a delicate beauty. A heroic and valiant female general felt more appealing.
Lü Bu pondered, guessing some hints, and very cooperatively remained silent.
Soon after, Zhao Yun and Yuan Tiangang ascended the hall.
"This subject, Zhao Yun / Yuan Tiangang, greets Your Majesty!" The two were about to bow in salute.
"Dispense with the formalities."
Zhao Yun looked up, his gaze involuntarily drawn to the terrifying Lü Bu beside him.
Lü Bu met his gaze, and a strong Battle Intent surged in his eyes, but then it dissipated completely.
Zhao Yun's current strength was insufficient; fighting him would be meaningless.
Xia Xuan flipped his hand, taking out the two Heroic Spirit Shards he had drawn.
The Heroic Spirit Shards were not broken in appearance, but rather two mysterious orbs of light emitting white light, exuding an aura that made Lü Bu and the others intensely desire them.
"These are for you."
Zhao Yun had the merit of repelling the Jade Luan Army, and Yuan Tiangang had the merits of suppressing the Seven Kings City, Pill Cloud Sect, and so on.
Even if they didn't, Xia Xuan would still give these two shards to the Heroic Spirits whose Realm was stuck at the Peak of Divine Dharma Aspect, to help them ascend to the Divine Extreme Realm.
"Thank Your Majesty for your divine grace!"
Zhao Yun and Yuan Tiangang took the Heroic Spirit Shards, immediately absorbed them, and a terrifying aura rose from their bodies.
The divine halo grew and then shattered, and the spiritual embryo shackles manifested.
In the sky, dark clouds covered the sun, and thunder rumbled.
The two transformed into divine rainbows, facing the lightning, going against the heavens.
The white-robed young general, holding the dragon gallant bright silver spear, charged up to the Nine Heavens, stirring up the thunder pool.
Golden flames swirled around Yuan Tiangang, his Heavenly Gang Art cultivation profound and boundless, clashing with the divine thunder.
A moment later.
The Heroic Spirit panels of both of them changed.
[Military General Heroic Spirit: Zhao Yun]
[Realm: Two-Chain Divine Extreme Realm]
[Divine Ability: Martial God Body, Dragon Soul]
[Weapon: dragon gallant bright silver spear]
[Mount: Night-Shining Jade Lion]
[Evaluation: Both wise and brave, bold yet meticulous, loyal and upright]
...[Special Heroic Spirit: Buliangshuai - Yuan Tiangang]
[Realm: Two-Chain Divine Extreme Realm]
[Divine Ability: Heavenly Gang Body, Foretelling Heavenly Secrets]
[Weapon: Huayang Needle]
[Evaluation: Upholding the will of the universe above, shaking princes and common people below]
The thunderclouds dissipated.
The two landed, their temperament completely refreshed, like gods.
"How about a battle?"
Lü Bu looked at Zhao Yun, grinning as he asked.
"It is not appropriate to engage in combat before Your Majesty in the hall. If General Lü is determined to compete, let us decide the victor on the battlefield in the future."
Zhao Yun remained calm and composed.
Lü Bu nodded.
Xia Xuan said, "Since that is the case, at the grand court assembly ten days from now, the expedition to conquer the Blood Fiend Dynasty will be led by the two generals, each leading an army, and victory will be determined by military merits."
"All according to Your Majesty's judgment."
Lü Bu and Zhao Yun bowed respectfully... In the Xuan Emperor Calendar, Plum Month Thirteenth.
In the Wu Dynasty's new Imperial City, which was expanded and rebuilt from one of the Seven Kings City, carriages and horses were in an endless stream.
Many officials migrated from the old capital, with carriages and horses traveling day and night without stopping, and then suffered from acclimatization, feeling very uncomfortable.
However, no one dared to be absent from the grand court assembly; all were actively rushing to the palace.
Fearing that they would be labeled as disrespectful by the The Unworthy and lose their heads.
Xuan Emperor Palace, Chengming Hall.
Civil and military officials stood in rows, waiting for a long time.
The grand court assemblies used to be held before dawn, but Xia Xuan now wanted to spread his favors equally, and he didn't have that much time, so he directly pushed it to noon.
