Chapter 17: Chapter 17 High-Profile Attitude_1

"Ding! The host has made choice two, and has received one hundred Destiny Points." There is no such thing as low-key here. This is my territory, so there's no reason to stay under the radar. I deavor to be as conspicuous as possible. In my territory, I intd to establish an aura of mystery and power. "Yes!" Lu Qianfu stepped forward slowly upon hearing this: "I heard that the War God's Great Sun Wheel Technique, which evolved from the Great Ascding Technique, has reached the transformation stage. This power ranks among the top five in our Dawu nation. Today, I, Lu Qianfu, wish to challge this too." "Since His Highness commanded it, how could I refuse?" Minister Shangguan Qingyun's eyelid twitched slightly. He watched Lu Qianfu closely, filled with suspicion. But since Chu Yuan gave him this opportunity, he wanted to probe the true strgth of Lu Qianfu. Outside the royal study is a vast field made tirely of steel rock - a training g well-equipped to withstand the aftermath of a clash betwe Divine Ability wielders. "Both of you are important ministers of my empire, it would be best if you stopped short of injuring one another to maintain harmony." Chu Yuan said indiffertly. "My realm after all is two levels higher than that of the valiant marquis. Valiant marquis, you make the first move." Shangguan Qingyun's seemingly gerous gesture is in fact a way to estimate Lu Qianfu's currt state. Lu Qianfu did not say a word, but his spirit was already heighted, knowing this was a test, but a very dangerous one at that. Shangguan Qingyun's position as the War God relied on his overwhelming power, which ev the previous emperor revered. Strands of gold light shone like ultra-sharp wires of gold. In a flash, Lu Qianfu made his move. Like a lightning bolt, he rushed forward, his palm raised revealing a dazzling gold light. On closer inspection, the light resembled countless blades, sharp and able to cut everything. Great Gg Metal Technique, the Gold Spirit Slaying God Technique! "Valiant Marquis, be careful." A hint of a reminder, hiding a deadly threat! Watching Lu Qianfu rush in, Shangguan Qingyun, unfazed and calm, saw Lu Qianfu's astonishing speed slow down. He raised his arm, releasing a burst of divine light. Boom! The fierce collision betwe two equally strong forces caused ev the indomitable steel rock to crackature. "Gold Spirit Slaying God Technique!" "Currt Destiny Point balance is eight hundred." Fragmtation Knife: A heavly grade item with the ultimate fragmtation power. "Oh? I have surprisingly completed the hidd task." Chu Yuan was a little surprised, but he had the Emperor's Sword, so he didn't regard the Fragmtation Knife highly. He said, "Faithful and Courageous Marquis, today is your day to come out of retiremt. I also have a gift for you. This Fragmtation Knife belongs to you. I hope you wield this knife and kill everything." "Heavly Grade Item!" Shangguan Qingyun and Li Yun felt the aura emitted by the Fragmtation Knife, and they were both shocked. Chu Yuan casually gave away a Heavly Grade Item. "Yes!" Lu Qianfu kneeled on one knee, solemnly accepting the Fragmtation Knife. This was Chu Yuan's trust in him. "With the commander of the Divine Martial Army, we also need brave warriors. My inttion is to prepare for t thousand brave warriors first." Chu Yuan changed the topic, "It's easy to solve the problem of weapons and armor, we have them in the national treasury. However, the most consuming is the elixir. Both Balin Medicine Mountain and Nanguan Medicine Gard were originally under the jurisdiction of the Departmt of Works and the Departmt of War. But now, they must fully support the Divine Martial Army. Prepare yourselves, Geral and Prime Minister. In a few days, the Faithful and Courageous Marquis will go to take over the two large medicinal gards." Hearing this, both Shangguan Qingyun and Li Yun furrowed their brows. The head of the Departmt of Works and the Minister of War are both their people. They had also controlled these two large medicinal gards for decades, usually giving half to the national treasury and secretly taking the other half for themselves to gather resources and equip their own forces. They finally understood the purpose of Chu Yuan's meeting today. Ruthless! Very ruthless! This means reclaiming the two large medicinal gards. They have be operating Balin Medicine Mountain and Nanguan Medicine Gard for decades and they have collected many rare and exotic herbs and plants. If they are returned to state ownership, their losses will be huge. Seeing the two silt, Chu Yuan sternly said, "Could it be that the Geral and Prime Minister have doubts about my decree? My dear ministers, please voice your opinions." "No, we have no objections. Both medicinal gards belong to the empire." Both Shangguan Qingyun and Li Yun were scheming people. They absolutely wouldn't go against Chu Yuan at this momt, and said, "Everything should be mainly to supply the Divine Martial Army." "Good, very good, this is very good." Chu Yuan repeated the word 'good' three times. "The two large medicinal gards are too important. I have already st the Royal Guard to protect them to prevt emy spies from setting fire to the mountain. In these few days, the Faithful and Courageous Marquis will stay in the Royal Palace to discuss martial arts with me. The most important thing for you, Geral and Prime Minister, is to stabilize the court and quiet the rumors in the country. I am still depdt on you."
