Chapter 184: Battle rankings after more than a month, has Zhao Xing gone insane? (6K)
City Temple No. 92 has three palaces, each dedicated to the Three Star Gods.
Tianxiang Palace is dedicated to Silu Star God. This Yin god can bestow titles on the battlefield and upgrade the rank of officials who have made meritorious services.
Tianliang Palace is dedicated to the God of Longevity, a Yin deity that can prolong people's lifespan and make up for the lifespan consumed by some generals when performing martial arts.
Tiantong Palace, Yisuan Star God; this Yin god is in charge of overall calculations, mainly involving the recording and calculation of military exploits.
In other words, the specifications of City No. 92 are not high enough. If the specifications were higher, the Six Star Gods would be worshipped instead.
However, the three star gods, Du'e, Sima Ming and Wangsheng, are usually not sent out in such small wars.
"Du'e, Siming, Wangsheng. Usually they are mid- to high-end armies, and they are only deployed in wars of genocide."
"The true bodies of the Six Star Lords are all first-grade Yin Gods, and are even stronger than ordinary first-grade Yin Gods."
"It can change their fate, increase their fortune, and revive their soul."
When Zhao Xing was heading to the temple, he recalled the legend about the Six Star Gods.
During the reign of Emperor Wu, there was a general who was very powerful but had very bad luck and was always getting lost during battles.
This happened twice in a row, so Emperor Wu sent the souls of the two star gods Du'e and Siming to help the general improve his fortune and change his fate.
As a result, the souls of the two star gods lost their way while searching for the general, due to the influence of his fate and fortune.
It was not until the end of the war that he followed the general back.
The influence of fate and fortune is so terrifying.
"The Star Lord of the Rebirth resurrects the souls of the dead."
"According to the Records of the Netherworld, when a human dies, he becomes a ghost; when a ghost dies, he becomes a demon; when a demon dies, he becomes a xi; when a xi dies, he becomes a yi."
"When a person dies, his seven spirits wither and die, and his three souls also float around, wandering around the battlefield and becoming ghosts."
"When a ghost is killed again, it becomes a '魙'. When a 聻 is killed again, it becomes a '希'."
"The Great Zhou's Wangsheng Zhenjun can gather the three souls of a person again at the level of 'Xi' and transform them into a Yin Shen body."
"So that the meritorious soldiers can be worshipped by the Great Zhou Dynasty System and live forever."
"But if the soul is captured or devoured and it escapes far away, there will be nothing we can do." Zhao Xing thought to himself.
When fighting, you must have a lot of priest friends.
Because even if he was a ninth-rank priest, and asked the Lord of the Rebirth to possess him, he could subdue the ghost of a seventh-rank official.
And it's just a simple act and doesn't cost much.
If it was a seventh-grade person like Chen Lu, he would spend some money to invite the True Lord of Rebirth, who would even be able to gather his soul again at the level of "聻".
Even though Chen Lu likes to worship the God of Agriculture, he can certainly invite the True Lord of Rebirth. Inviting this True Lord is a compulsory course, otherwise he cannot reach the seventh rank.
"I must achieve a million military merits as soon as possible. If something unexpected happens to me, a million military merits will be enough to be crowned a Yin God."
"If someone worships me, the Yin God can live forever with the Great Zhou."
"This can also be considered another form of 'living'. When the spiritual energy is revived, the Yin God may be resurrected!"
"But this is very difficult. It is ten or even a hundred times more difficult than relying on one's life span to survive until the era of spiritual energy revival."
Zhao Xing had always been very polite to priests, because the "Yin Shen System" of the Great Zhou was his last resort.
During his time in Yuncheng, he was polite to Shen Mingyu and close to Zhang Yi. When he came to the Southern War Zone and took office as the magistrate of City No. 92, he was also very friendly to Chen Lu and even gave Chen Lu a tenth of the spoils.
That's why.
Of course, priests were very respected in that era, and Zhao Xing's actions would not arouse suspicion, and it was impossible to associate his intentions.
Even if Chen Lu was beaten to death, he would never have imagined that Zhao Xing's intentions were so far-reaching.
When he arrived at the temple, Zhao Xing put aside all distracting thoughts, focused his mind, and thought only about military exploits.
After studying "The Great Dream of Spring and Autumn", his dream storage method was able to achieve distributed memory storage.
Memories and thoughts about past lives can be suppressed at any time.
If it is covered up with the method of dream preservation, even if it can be discovered, it will be regarded as a yellow beam dream.
Who doesn't have some wild and imaginative ideas?
Even if Zhao Xing loudly said that "spiritual energy will revive after sixteen dynasties", he would still be considered a fool unless he could prove his statement step by step.
Arriving at the Temple of Yisuan Star God, Zhao Xing lit incense first.
Then take out a piece of yellow paper and write the words to invite the gods.
There are also some rules to follow when writing speeches.
Gods use cinnabar and ghosts use ink.
The level of the deity corresponds to the specifications of the item.
Yisuan Xingjun is a first-grade Yin God. Even if it is currently a sixth-grade split soul body, its specifications will automatically be raised by one level.
After writing the words to invite the gods, the next step is to burn paper and worship the gods.
"The Divine Power Army is commanded by Zhao Xing, and he has requested the God of Calculation to appear."
Zhao Xing was muttering to himself.
"Whoo~"
The yellow paper burned, and the light shone on the statue.
Immediately afterwards, the statue of Yisuan Star God holding a measuring ruler opened his eyes.
"Zhao Xing of the Divine Might Army, what can you do for me?"
"I have completed the 'Heart Worm Grass' mission and the 'Blood Essence Fruit' mission in the military world. Please ask Star Lord to count my military achievements."
The shadow of Yisuan Star Lord floated down from the statue.
Looking at the 'heart worm grass' and 'blood essence fruit' piled up outside the hall.
Soon come back.
"According to the military mission regulations, you can get 15,000 combat merits."
"Seal the two items in the transfer warehouse. If either is lost, you will be deducted 30,000 military merits." said Yisuan Xingjun.
"Yes, I will remember it." Zhao Xing nodded.
Once these things are submitted as military merits, they will belong to the military community, not the Shenwei Army, and will be recorded.
Afterwards, a transfer team will be sent to City No. 92 to receive them all at once.
The military will then redeploy them.
If you lost the military supplies of the Shenwei Army, the deduction of military merit would not be so serious, but if you lost the military supplies of the military community, you will be severely punished.
Why not wait until the transport company is almost there before submitting them all together?
Because the battle merit list is calculated in stages, there will be rewards when a certain threshold is reached.
Besides, June is coming to an end and the team from the Transportation Bureau will arrive soon.
If I really can't hold on, I'll probably lose my life. Why would I care about military merit? There's no difference between submitting now and later.
"Thank you, Yisuanxingjun!"
Zhao Xing burned another piece of yellow paper, which was a ritual to send off the gods.
This kind of inviting gods was to complete the military mission and it was done in the temple. The court borne the cost and Zhao Xing did not need to pay anything extra to send the gods away.
After leaving the temple, Zhao Xing sent the 'Heart Worm Grass' and 'Blood Essence Fruit' to the transfer warehouse for storage.
Generally speaking, as long as the city is not destroyed, it is impossible for the items to be lost or stolen.
Now that the city is broken, there is nothing to say. The most important thing is to save your life.
Submit again, and the merits exceeded 10.
Zhao Xing glanced at the ground mirror and saw that his ranking had improved to within the top 4,000.
During his break, he went to the City Lord's Mansion to read the military intelligence and battle reports of various armies.
He had to check from time to time to avoid any major intelligence errors that might lead to a misjudgment of the situation and the loss of one's life.
"From the current perspective, the Shenwei Army is a rising star. The battalions led by the ten captains Liao Rulong, Huang Mian, Zhou Zhen, Wen Shaoyang, and Fu Qing are advancing very quickly."
“Among all the armies in the Five Great Cave Heavens, it can be ranked in the second tier, second only to the five or six strongest armies.”
The Shenwei Army is at the bottom of the list among the Shiyang Cave Heavens, and was only reorganized in the past two years.
A lot of Yang An's former team members were lost.
The outside world generally believes that the Shenwei Army should be a weak force, because most of its commanders have performed mediocrely after leaving their old subordinates.
However, the Shenwei Army performed very bravely.
"At the end of June, the 'Military Merit' will be calculated."
"The people killed and the earth pushed by Liao Rulong's troops all have the credit of the logistics personnel in the rear."
"I came out of seclusion on June 20th, and arrived at City 92 to take up my post on the evening of June 23rd."
"It's like you can earn military merit even when you're lying down."
Zhao Xing had not come before, so now he just happened to make the trip.
The calculation of military merit depends entirely on how well the previous battles were fought. It is not calculated in such detail. The merits of logistics officials are divided according to their ranks.
Zhao Xing estimated that by the end of June, he would have gained another 10,000 military merits, or maybe even more.
Without doing anything, you can gain 10,000 military merits. This is the benefit of following a powerful army!
At first, Zhao Xing refused to go no matter who asked him to go, and followed Lao Chen to join the Shenwei Army. Now he has seen initial results.
"At this stage, the faster we push, the more achievements we make, and the more opportunities we have."
"I am in the Divine Might Army, and I am the city commander as soon as I arrive."
"I heard that Shi Yong couldn't even become a city commander in the Tiger Dragon Army. If he went to the front line to fight, he could only be a commander, not even a lieutenant."
"Guan Junyang can only help Xia Jing in the Xuanjia Army, but he has realized the high-level method."
"Zhuang Ziqing has become the commander of a city, but Fengqiu and Lifeng are both his assistants."
“Cao Shuang and Jiang Tianming, who just went there, will have a hard time competing for positions with those veteran seventh-rankers.”
If Zhao Xing had accepted Wei Yuan's invitation and joined the Tiger and Dragon Army, he probably wouldn't be able to get a good position now.
Yes, he promised that I would be in charge of one battalion if I went there.
But after two games, if your performance is not satisfactory, you will be sent back to the bench.
Even if he went to the Tiger and Dragon Army, Zhao Xing estimated that it would be difficult to win.
Look at those seventh-grade soldiers in the Tiger Dragon Army and the Black Armor Army, many of them are ranked in the top 100 of the seventh-grade list.
Of course, the Tiger Dragon Army is a first-tier army, and its monthly military merit settlement is more than that of other armies.
"The Golden Feather Royal Court has sent some reinforcements to defend the Extreme Flame Desert. Are they planning to defend the Qinggang Mining Area?"
"The royal family's Hal was beheaded. Lv Yuanwei is really exaggerating."
"The northern end of the Fire Demon Tribe's territory is the Extremely Hot Desert. If Liao Rulong's troops can penetrate the Fire Demon Tribe's territory by heading southeast, and their speed is fast enough, they might be able to catch up with Lv Yuanwei and get some benefits."
"By conquering the Qinggang Mining Area, Lv Yuanwei has done another great deed." Zhao Xing thought to himself. The crystal ore produced in the Qinggang Mining Area can have a strong enhancement effect on the sixth-grade Tiangang Realm!
Conquer this mining area, guard it for a year, dig it through, and then do nothing else. Your military achievements will be enough for the army to confer thousands of marquises!
"This territory of the Fire Demon Clan is considered a treasure land in the early stage. In the previous life, it was Lv Yuanwei who conquered this mining area. This person has always maintained a leading advantage and dominated the first place in the sixth-grade list throughout the entire training stage."
"After the mid- to high-end battles, he was promoted to the fifth rank and conferred the title of Thunder Marquis. After that, he remained strong and was promoted to the fourth rank within a year."
"Even though he was demoted after the defeat, he still held an official position below the fifth rank, and was able to preserve the early results. This is truly rare."
In the second half of Emperor Jing's campaign to pacify the barbarians, he suffered a great defeat. Coupled with the rebellion of Prince Liang, Emperor Jing killed many generals.
It was already a rare opportunity for Lu Yuanwei to maintain his previous battle results, obtain the fifth-grade rank, and the title of Marquis of Divine Thunder.
"This man has great luck and talent. If Liao Rulong's troops really fight the Fire Demon Clan, I will go to the front line and participate." Zhao Xing said secretly.
Farming is fast now, but the Qinggang Mining Area has made a greater contribution!
Even if it’s just drinking a bowl of soup behind Lu Yuanwei, it would be very refreshing.
"The Purple Dragon King's court dispatched an army of exotic beasts, including white dragons and golden-toed beasts, ground-walking dragons, and iron-backed eagle dragons..."
"The Holy Spirit Royal Court has dispatched sixth-grade ghost kings and soul soldiers. The number of priests in the southwest war zone has increased dramatically. This is because the Holy Spirit Royal Court is good at controlling ghosts... Humph, the dog-skin plaster Xuantian Sect is mixed in with it again."
Zhao Xing looked at the information about the Holy Spirit Royal Court and sneered.
The royal court of the Southern Wilderness has the support of foreign sects behind it, and the main supporter of the Holy Spirit Royal Court is the Xuantian Sect.
"The intelligence of the Flame Light Royal Court is of little value. It is basically one-sided and they are defending some barren lands. Fighting against its army is the most useless and it is so tiring."
Zhao Xing got angry when he saw the Yanguang Royal Court. In his previous life, during the reign of Emperor Wu, he was assigned to attack the Yanguang Royal Court.
At that time, he had just been resurrected for the Nth time at the hands of Liu Tianning, and was reincarnated through the Impure World Reincarnation. He was thinking of going to the Southern Wilderness to gain military merits and get promoted again.
He excitedly took his brothers to fight, but the combat mission assigned to him was against the Babok tribe, one of the twenty-five powerful armies under the Yanguang Royal Court.
The territory occupied by the Flame Light Royal Court is vast, the environment is harsh, and the army of the Babok tribe is very hardy.
They also raised a unique exotic animal - the Babok worm.
They are said to be insects, but they are extremely large, each one is a kilometer long, and their talent is to burrow into the ground.
The army of the Babok tribe basically follows this strange beast. They do not move in the sky or on the ground, but most of the time they move underground.
When you attack the Babok tribe, they will burrow into the ground and run away if you chase them. If you stop chasing them and set up camp, they will lead their men to launch a surprise attack from underground.
The Babok worm has thick skin and flesh, and ordinary means of attack cannot harm it at all.
Even if it was cut in half, the two ends of this thing's body could still move independently and continue to drill underground.
The Babok tribal army has strong combat effectiveness, tenacious fighting spirit, and a unique fighting style.
Since the value of the land occupied is not high, the mission rewards given by the military world are relatively small.
Three years after three years, Master Zhao fought with tears in his eyes for nine years. Babok had tortured him severely. During the war, he could even see the larvae of Babok in his dreams when he lifted the quilt at night.
After the war, the brother guilds had all risen to prominence, reaping the benefits of Emperor Wu's wars, while Mr. Zhao's side was, on average, one level behind them.
Zhao Xing planned to embezzle tens of millions of dollars from other places, but as soon as he put his hand out, he was killed by Lao Liu again.
He was so angry that he couldn't eat for several months.
However, there were also benefits to defeating the Babok tribe. It forced Master Zhao to practice the Earthly Branch magic to perfection, and many of the Earthly Branch magics broke through the level limit.
"Whoever attacks the Yanguan Royal Court is an idiot." Thinking of the past, Zhao Xing still cursed a few words on a whim.
After reading all the latest battle reports.
The Qinggang war zone was placed at the top of the planning.
The rest are not of high value. At the moment, it is better to farm and gain military merit.
However, Zhao Xing estimated that it would take some time for Lu Yuanwei to defeat the Fire Demon Clan.
He killed the royal family member Hal, causing the Golden Feather Royal Court to lose face. Now they have sent a lot of troops there.
"I don't know how long I will have to rest. Before new battle reports come out, I'll just have to farm and hone my magic skills."
【Rain Drops】 is a high-level sixth-turn spell. Zhao Xing’s talent in water is indeed very high, and the Rain Drops spell is also the strongest spell except for the weird killing moves like Teng Snake Transformation.
【Thunderbolt Finger to Break Delusion】is a high-level fourth-level skill.
[Teng Snake Transformation] is a high-level third transformation.
When one was comprehending 【Thunderbolt】【Earthly Evil Thunder】【Volcano Technique】【Evil Wind】in the original dojo, one had already entered the realm of the art and reached the first high level.
【Five Elements Mist Shadow】 and 【Moment Origin】 have made good progress and have already reached the second level of high-level transformation as they have comprehended the Yin-Yang Self Sutra.
If he were an ordinary seventh-grade cultivator, possessing nine high-level magics, he would already be extremely arrogant, but Zhao Xing always set high standards for himself.
If you are not invincible, you still have to practice!
The seventh level of Earthly Demon Realm focuses on broadening the depth of magic. Zhao Xing has mastered nine high-level spells, but he has no plans to learn more. Instead, he wants to delve deeper into one of them.
Now that he wanted to make achievements through farming, he chose to delve into the art of analyzing the origin of things, [Instant Origin].
Every day I am either farming or on my way to farming.
Starting from June 25th, Zhao Xing began to increase the intensity!
Eleven hours were spent on farming, earning merit, and studying magic.
Half an hour to sleep and half an hour to handle official business of each department.
This situation continued until July 1st, when the people from the Transportation Bureau arrived and Zhao Xing finally took an hour to deal with it.
But as soon as the transport company's ship left, he immediately flew back to the fields to work.
"He's started again."
Han Bing and Wang Ji stood in the distance, watching Zhao Xing flying around in the fields like a hardworking little bee.
"It was like this in Shiyang Cave Heaven, and it's still like this here."
"Have you ever seen him sleeping?" Wang Ji asked.
"No." Han Bing shook his head. "No matter when I report to him, he is always awake."
"There really are such geniuses in the world." Wang Ji said, "I asked the military doctor to give me acupuncture to restore my yang energy, but it only lasted for five days at most. I had to sleep for five days. And I slept for twelve hours at a time."
"Have you really tried it?" Han Bing asked in surprise, "Even if you admire him, don't learn from his reckless behavior."
"I really can't learn it." Wang Ji shook his head.
Zhao Xing has the [Sleepyhead] method, the top-notch secret skill "The Great Dream of Spring and Autumn", and the protection of soul armor. Wang Ji can't learn this method at all.
After persisting for a few days, I started to feel drowsy, and my practice and work efficiency were greatly reduced.
On July 4th, the progress of [Moment Origin] reached the advanced third level.
Zhao Xing has exceeded 25 military merits.
He calculated the accumulated advanced task materials and rushed into the top 1,000 of the seventh-grade combat merit list in one fell swoop.
At this time, Shanshan Yuanchu reached the bottleneck of the third high-level transformation.
On July 20th, Zhao Xing submitted the advanced task and ranked 431st in military merit!
Entering the top 500 for the first time!
[Moment of Origin] has yet to break through, but there is always a glimmer of inspiration lingering in my heart.
So from this point on he entered a state of trance, concentrating on seeking a breakthrough.
From July 20th to 30th, Zhao Xing did not submit any advanced tasks. When the settlement was made on August 1st, he was dropped out of the top 500 again.
From August 1st to August 10th, Zhao Xing was no longer in City No. 92.
Instead, I walked out of the city unknowingly and took a stroll in the wild.
He was barefoot, with disheveled hair, looking at the flowers, plants and trees in the wasteland. In the distance, there were many straw men guarding them.
“How can we further break the shackles of life’s growth?”
“The way of my true self is difficult!”
Zhao Xing muttered to himself that he had never been stuck on a small level for so long.
Whenever he devoted himself to a spell, these small levels would be quickly overcome.
But this time, he was unable to break through.
He finally understood the distress of mediocrity.
Stuck at a level, unable to find the way out.
I could clearly see the scenery inside the door, but I couldn't get in.
"Instantaneous primordial moment, breaking the shackles of life...how do I break it?"
Zhao Xing was thinking as he walked.
Every time he took a step, grass grew under his feet.
But when he left, the grass quickly withered again.
High in the distance.
Chen Shijie and Long Xiao stood on the swordfish flying boat, staring quietly at Zhao Xing below.
"Old Chen, is this kid okay? Why does he seem to have lost his mind?"
"He's fine, he just entered a state of ecstasy." Chen Shijie said calmly, "Don't worry about him, he can break through himself."
"Really?" Long Xiao looked at Ao Tian Miao who was restless at the side, "Why do I feel like something is not right?"
"Your Si Nong's ego sect is really weird. How come you act like a demon when trying to solve a small level?"
In early August, Liao Rulong's army returned to the three supply cities in the rear to rest, because the Wolf God Tribe had basically been defeated.
Chen Shijie and Long Xiao also returned to City No. 92.
At this time, there was another person sitting in the cabin - Liao Rulong.
Zhao Xing made it into the top 500 of the seventh-rank military merit list in one fell swoop, which also alarmed the sixth-rank captain.
He wanted to see what this talented Si Nong was like.
Other seventh-rank warriors fought and died on the front lines, but they earned less than Zhao Xing, a minister of agriculture. He was too curious!
However, when he arrived at City No. 92, Zhao Xing entered this strange state.
"Small level?" Chen Shijie shook his head. "How much has the power of your Sword Controlling Technique increased from level three to level four?"
"He is understanding a high-level technique. Every step forward in a high-level technique brings about a huge improvement. Moreover, the third and fourth turns are just a threshold."
"That is a spell that has gone from entry-level to minor mastery!"
"The magic of the Self School is not evil, it's just difficult to practice."
"It is this spell that allows him to farm in the rear, and his military exploits are superior to those of the seventh rank."
"It's you, do you want to practice or not?"
Long Xiao still muttered: "But I see that he seems a bit possessed. Look, he is actually chewing grass."
"Shut up your crow mouth!" Chen Shijie shouted, "I say again, he is not possessed!"
"Okay." Long Xiao turned around and walked towards the cabin, muttering softly: "Humph, don't let me say that you have more confidence in him than in me..."
Two chapters worth of 14 words, and one chapter is owed. Including the extra chapters for this month's monthly tickets, there are still chapters to be owed. There is still a long way to go.
