Chapter 77: Pointing at Soldiers

~8 min read 1,548 words

The complete set of imperial crown and clothing of the ancient emperor is also a transgression according to the current regulations.

It is naturally impossible to buy.

Fortunately, the strange object "Heavenly Works Opening All Things" is exceptionally sharp in doing manual work.

Whatever Zhang Gui can imagine in his brain, it can make.

Although it looks more like the imperial costumes in the movie blockbusters of the previous life compared to the real thing, it does indeed have a different majesty after wearing it.

At the very least, when the ministers of the ragtag team saw it, they bowed deeply with much more sincerity than before, "Ministers pay homage to Your Majesty."

With the demonstration, the soldiers in the training ground and the commoners outside the training ground all bent their waists deeply like a piece of ripe wheat blown by a strong wind.

Even though Zhang Gui has the soul of a modern person, he is a bit "confused" when immersed in it.

He coughed lightly and said loudly: "Everyone, exempt from courtesy.

General Gui Sang, you will point out the first hundred soldiers who are the most hardworking and obedient to orders."

"Respectfully follow the order." Gui Sang respectfully stepped forward three steps and began to sing names and point soldiers, and the first one was, "Zhao Sanshi."

With the sound of calling names, new soldiers came out one by one.

Until the hundred people were full.

Zhang Gui personally issued an order, "You will hold the essence of ore and herbs in your mouths, and kneel before me."

The True Dragon Kingdom is called an empire, but the people are no more than ten thousand.

The process of refining stone corpse soldiers is known to the whole country under official propaganda.

However, when it really came to the time, the parties involved were still flushed with excitement.

Putting the herbs and ore into their mouths, their mouths were dry and their heads were dizzy.

Dizzily gathering together, kneeling at Zhang Gui's feet.

Zhang Gui stimulated the six major main divine clusters in his body: "Hundred Herbs Life Mandate, Burning Metal, Great Growth Crow, Swallow Crow, Drink River, Water-Fire Harmony."

Unleashed the incomplete "Black God Explosive Warlord All Methods."

Transformed into a three-zhang giant with a square mouth, giant eyes, four hands, and a golden body.

Sang the ancient god song "Song of Recruiting Soldiers," triggering mysterious rituals in the dark.

Suddenly, the herbs and ore in the mouths of those kneeling soldiers slowly melted, flowing into the soldiers' abdomens without swallowing.

Causing their skin and flesh to change, presenting a strange state of half flesh and blood, half iron and stone.

Their bodies also slowly expanded, and finally all turned into giants one zhang tall.

"Hey, why did the stone corpse soldiers I refined become so big!"

Zhang Gui originally only needed to stimulate the three main divine clusters derived from Chiyou's bloodline to refine stone corpse soldiers.

Although the single stone corpse soldiers after successful refining would have the characteristics of doubling their weight and expanding their bodies. 【

But at most, it would only be a man from the slender dog-like faction of over 170 centimeters transforming into a 200-centimeter-tall beastly brute.

It would be absolutely impossible to completely break away from the human mold as he is now.

And today, Zhang Gui only wanted to show off his might in front of the public and over ten thousand citizens.

That is why he incorporated the three major Divine Clusters originating from the Kuafu bloodline, allowing his body to grow to a size of three zhang.

Unexpectedly, this caused the refined Stone Corpse Soldiers to also undergo a similar mutation.

Amidst his surprise, he gradually realized that this must be because his body, heart, and spirit had all fused into a complete, top-tier Main Divine Cluster.

And these Divine Clusters were connected and penetrated by the fourteen-character phrase, "Three Perfections Fully Cultivated, Reaching the Supreme Transformation Great Sage Seat Mandate."

So much so that the Great Primordial Abilities originating from three different God-Demon bloodlines have all "merged into one."

It is actually not strange that the method for refining Stone Corpse Soldiers has now undergone a similar evolution.

Thinking of this, the ritual happened to conclude.

All the new soldiers had obtained the ability to transform into Single Stone Corpse Soldiers.

Zhang Gui stopped his singing.

As the Warlord, he personally initiated his intent to communicate with these one hundred newborn Single Stone Corpse Soldiers.

He roared sternly: "All troops, hear my command.

Form the 'Gold Soldier March' array for me!"

In an instant, the hundred Stone Corpse Soldiers felt their minds linked and their strength unified.

Just as lambs are born knowing how to kneel to suckle for survival, and crows naturally understand the duty of feeding their parents.

They took their positions and began to drill!

After a few movements, a sky-piercing murderous intent was revealed.

It forced the laymen of slave origin outside the training ground to perceive a terrifying will to kill enemies and charge into battle, invincible in a hundred fights.

In a mere short hour.

He transformed a group of raw recruits who had only trained for a month into a special elite force that looked formidable at a single glance.

Suddenly, the entire True Dragon Kingdom, from commoners to bureaucrats, felt a mysterious solemnity in their hearts.

Looking at Zhang Gui again, they did not dare to look him in the eye and slightly lowered their brows.

And this emotion no longer came from reason, but from instinct.

Just as wild beasts naturally fear heavenly thunder and raging fire, and common people naturally revere emperors and divine lords!

A sycophant suddenly felt moved, knelt on the ground half-truly and half-falsely, and prostrated himself in praise:

"Your Majesty possesses the might to awe the world; though you are now like a dragon deep in the abyss, like a tiger coiled in hiding.

But once the military edge is forged in the future, you will surely achieve your grand ambition.

Seeing the true Son of Heaven today, I finally know the demeanor of a True Dragon.

Long live, long live, long, long live our Emperor!"

Immediately, people inside and outside the entire training ground knelt down one after another like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

Seeing this, Zhang Gui sobered up and shouted loudly:

"Stop!

Song Gong, you must immediately check personally to see who violated the law by kneeling to me.

Fine them all.

I have said long ago that the kneeling during the refining of Stone Corpse Soldiers is because of the needs of the ritual.

It is a last resort.

It absolutely, absolutely must not become a convention.

The implication of us citizens of the True Dragon Kingdom is that the common people will 'everyone be like a dragon' in the future.

Whether it is the ordinary common people, capable officials, intellectuals, wealthy merchants, or me, the Emperor.

Everyone is equal in personality.

Independent thinking that does not worship or superstitiously believe in one another is correct and must be advocated.

What is this nonsense?

No one is allowed to turn back the wheel of history!

General Sang Gui, you will continue to preside over the troop inspection ceremony next.

I have other important matters to attend to."

After speaking, he used the "Zongheng Flying Runner" technique, driven by the Swift Legs Divine Cluster and golden Qi-Blood, and disappeared in an instant as if flying on land.

Before long, he arrived at the Right Hall of the Guiyang Palace.

Unlike the Left Hall, which is partitioned into bedrooms, studies, practice rooms, tea rooms, and so on.

This was a huge square room spanning a thousand paces.

The room was empty, with only a spring in the center.

The roof above the spring was hollow, filled with a huge piece of transparent crystal.

The sunlight from the sky shone down.

It gathered on the crystal suspended in mid-air.

Reflecting onto the spring water on the ground.

The spring water refracted, transforming into various patterns, characters, and even dynamic images like a rainbow.

And this is the most precious and ultra-rare geological resource in the Shangshi Corpse Capital.

The "Shadow Water Spirit Wall" that can carry and impart Dao-entry techniques.

Recently, because of his deathmatch with Old Guan, Zhang Gui was promoted to a "Class Ding-Superior" Transcendent.

He felt that he had a deeper understanding of the four Dao-entry techniques: "Zongheng Flying Runner, Zongheng Flowing Fire Fist, Zongheng Wind-Seizing Hand, and Zongheng Finger Crossbow Master."

With the blessing of the powerful Main Divine Cluster "Tai Sui Enter Spirit" that covered his Primordial Spirit, he attempted to engrave the techniques into the "Shadow Water Spirit Wall" with his intent.

Although he succeeded in the end.

But every time he engraved a small part, he would suddenly feel his heart in chaos.

So he could only proceed bit by bit.

Including this time, he finally succeeded in engraving only one-third.

However, one cannot be impatient with such things.

Zhang Gui struggled in front of the "Shadow Water Spirit Wall" for nearly half an hour before rubbing his brows and leaving the Right Hall.

He rushed to his bedroom and skillfully began to boil himself.
