Chapter 3137

Yao Feng: "Mm…"

Zhao Chi: "You just said the World Stone can replenish Origin Energy? The kind like Wood-type Origin Energy? How does it replenish?"

Yao Feng: "Yes… you didn't know?"

Zhao Chi: "…Mm, based on past experience, this should be an advanced course, right?"

Yao Feng: "Anything involving the World Stone is generally a noble course. The method of use is simple — just like when you use an Artifact Fragment. Don't choose to open a territory; just select the target first, then select the World Stone."

Zhao Chi: "Understood!"

Yao Feng: "If you don't know a super spiritual technique, don't use the World Stone. The Origin Energy is too strong — if you can't bear it, you'll explode."

Zhao Chi: "It's not me using it, but giving it to the giant beast to use."

Yao Feng: "What kind of giant beast is yours? Is it an adult? Is it the one that produces that silk thread and leather?"

Zhao Chi: "…The Eternal Tree."

Yao Feng: "The Eternal Tree? You mean the token? Didn't you already give it to me?"

Zhao Chi: "Not the token — a physical giant beast."

Yao Feng: "Impossible!"

Zhao Chi: "Why would I lie to you?"

Yao Feng: "…You, you should have told me earlier! The Eternal Tree can do many things — it's not just for fighting. It can be used as a mother tree…"

Zhao Chi: "I know all that. The Tree Spirit taught me."

Yao Feng: "Tree Spirit? What kind of Tree Spirit? And a Tree Spirit understands the Eternal Tree's abilities?"

Zhao Chi: "The Eternal Tree's Tree Spirit."

Yao Feng: "The Eternal Tree has a Tree Spirit too? Impossible!"

Zhao Chi: "That's not important. After we win, I'll take you to my territory to see. For now, give me some World Stones — I need to use them."

Yao Feng: "Okay, how many?"

Zhao Chi: "How many? How much Origin Energy can one World Stone replenish?"

Yao Feng: "It's not fixed. It depends on the giant beast's consciousness and intelligence, and also the body compatibility. Generally, it can definitely replenish over a hundred points; a good one can give several hundred points."

Zhao Chi: "That little? Just a few hundred points?"

Yao Feng: "Huh? Just? That's Origin Energy!"

Zhao Chi: "I don't really have a sense of it… but that's a World Stone! How can it not even fill up the cap?"

Yao Feng: "Huh?? Zhao Chi, what are you saying? A few hundred points of Origin Energy and it still can't fill up? The Eternal Tree's Origin Energy cap should be 800 points, right? Your Eternal Tree is mature, isn't it?"

Yao Feng's words left Zhao Chi tongue-tied.

Fuyao was indeed mature.

But her Origin Energy cap…

Zhao Chi confirmed once more — it was 3000 points!

Zhao Chi: "It's fine, Sister. Just give me however many you can, but make sure it doesn't affect you."

Yao Feng: "I'll give you 5 first — is that enough?"

Zhao Chi: "That's fine."

Yao Feng sent a trade request, and Zhao Chi accepted it.

【Item Acquired】: Small World Stone ×5

At this moment, Wang Xiao and Gongsun Po, who were ahead, dispatched their vice-captains to flank and attack Imagawa Chisa.

They all vanished.

Looks like Yao Feng's Swift-Speech technique is pretty useful.

All that rambling and chattering, but the speed was extremely fast.

Of course, it was still far inferior to the mind-link Zhao Chi had when he was inside Gu Qing and the others.

Mind-link was real-time.

Whatever Zhao Chi thought, they could know instantly. Whatever they thought, Zhao Chi could hear instantly — the speed was far faster than this.

But the Swift-Speech technique wasn't bad either.

For the next few minutes, both sides waited in silence.

Although the nobles now had the overall advantage, they weren't in a rush to attack, still steadily waiting for the White Tiger Regiment's reinforcements.

They really could keep their composure.

But this was also the correct call.

Jin Xin brought about 1000 people, Wang Xiao 900, and Gongsun Po also around 1000.

Now Wang Xiao and Gongsun Po each split off 300 people to attack Imagawa Chisa.

The number isn't large, but the nobles are all elites — these 600 people are more than enough to handle Imagawa Chisa.

The remaining 2300 people could actually completely cover Yao Feng's regiment headquarters.

But it wouldn't be safe.

They didn't know the White Tiger Regiment's reinforcement numbers.

So they were afraid that if they committed to the battle now, the reinforcements arriving later would concentrate their attack on the head lord, and the nobles would end up losing instead.

In any case, there were only a few minutes left — they could afford to wait.

What Yao Feng worried about most was Zhao Quan.

It was already almost a lost cause. If Zhao Quan came with them, then the White Tiger Regiment truly had zero chance of winning.

There was also fierce infighting within the nobles.

But in the current situation, even if they were infighting, they couldn't possibly start fighting now.

You can't hold onto that kind of fantasy.

Fortunately, Zhao Quan didn't come.

The one who came was Gu Zhan.

He arrived right on time as promised.

From the look of it, they had truly rushed here with everything they had—every lord was panting and gasping for breath.

Zhao Chi's mind stirred, and he instantly returned to his territory.

In an instant, Jin Xin, Wang Xiao, and Gongsun Po all turned their heads at the same time!

They appeared to be casually looking around, but their attention was fixed on Zhao Chi every single moment.

The instant Zhao Chi vanished, the three of them immediately heightened their vigilance.

Wang Xiao frowned: "What's going on? Zhao Chi ran?"

Gongsun Po's eyes lit up.

Jin Xin said: "Don't worry, there's no rift fluctuation—he just went back to his territory."

Wang Xiao mocked with a laugh: "Hah, I fucking thought he was so tough, but in the end when it came to real fighting he ran just like that she-wolf did! Hahahahahahahaha!"

"Fuck your mother!!"

Another furious roar.

Wang Xiao's neck shrank back as he realized it was Shangguan Ting.

Shangguan Ting imitated Zhao Chi, hurling the exact same words at Wang Xiao.

Shangguan Ting carried no lady-like baggage at all—opening her mouth to curse people was a complete trifle for her.

Wang Xiao laughed: "Curse away, curse away—Shangguan Ting, curse all you want. For every few curses you spit out, I'll have you for a few days. Let's see if you'll still have time to curse then?"

Gongsun Po frowned: "Let's make this clear first—Shangguan Ting is mine."

Wang Xiao turned his head in surprise: "Yours? On what grounds is she yours?"

Gongsun Po said: "I took a liking to Shangguan Ting long ago. Didn't I mention it when we talked before?"

Wang Xiao raged: "I never agreed back then! And do you even have any use for a woman?"

Jin Xin roared: "Have either of you got any shame? Arguing over a woman at a time like this? What do you two even look like? Shut your mouths and be quiet! Get ready to fight immediately!"

Wang Xiao and Gongsun Po both fell silent.

The lords of the White Tiger Regiment also got ready.

The moment Gu Zhan arrived was the moment the battle began.

Zhao Chi returned to Taoyuan Town.

Gu Qing had already led the female soldiers and gotten everything prepared.

Fuyao had also controlled the Eternal Tree and arrived outside Taoyuan Town.
