Just as Wang Shouzhe was contemplating, Wang Luojing had already engaged in battle with the young Demon God.
She was very obedient, carrying out a strategic delay exactly as Wang Shouzhe had planned.
It could be seen that even though Wang Luojing’s bloodline talent had reached the middle stage of Great Celestial Pride Grade B, her cultivation was at the Third Layer of the Celestial Human Realm, and she possessed a Divine Power Spirit Treasure with a Blank Artifact Spirit, she still faced a significant gap in power against the young Demon God.
Fortunately, she didn’t need to defeat it, just delay it.
Using various Shouzhe Token seed plants, combined with the unpredictable Illusionary Butterfly Dance, and occasionally employing Gu insects to offset so disadvantages, Wang Luojing persevered despite being constantly pressured by the young Demon God.
Back then, those top graduates from the new recruit exams were proud, ambitious young celestial talents who hadn’t faced many setbacks and were easily influenced by public opinion, so they wouldn’t shalessly use underhanded tactics to delay ti.
But the Wang Family was different; even if knocked to the ground, they would find a way to roll over and steal an extra breath’s worth of ti. Their current purpose was clear; breaking a record and obtaining rewards were all that mattered, regardless of face or reputation.
Thus, Wang Luojing’s tactics were extrely clever, with every move focused on the three words "delaying ti". However, even so, after more than half an hour, she gradually started to struggle to hold on.
At the one-hour mark, she had already been in dangerous situations several tis, only managing to hold on by using dicine and Immortal Tree Leaves.
Once the record was refreshed, Wang Shouzhe imdiately called to stop and helped the now significantly injured Wang Luojing with healing.
"Congratulations, Wang Luojing. Though you were narrowly defeated at the eighth stage, you broke the record previously set by Wu Panpan, the little highness." The Artifact Spirit refrained from making any mocking comnts this ti.
Firstly, because Wang Luojing was already a top-tier genius, and secondly, because even if it had mocked them, it wouldn’t affect these people.
"Thus, you receive the record-breaking reward for the eighth stage: [Commander’s Care]." The Artifact Spirit explained earnestly, "This is a command token, ford by sealing part of their cultivation in it when previous Legion Commanders reached old age and were about to retire. Once the command token is crushed, it releases the power equivalent to a regular Lingxu Realm strike, with strong lethality and deterrence against Divine Power Realm cultivators."
"This is the Legion Commanders’ selfless sacrifice to protect the super-genius within the army. I hope Luojing will not let them down."
"Hoo~"
Wang Luojing let out a sigh of relief, finally fulfilling her fourth brother’s expectations and securing the record-breaking reward.
This one-ti-use trump card [Commander’s Care], even during the Divine Martial Dynasty, would have been a rare treasure. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been the record-breaking reward for the eighth stage.
With such a card, the Wang Family could navigate the upcoming Struggle of the Imperial Sons more smoothly and possess stronger self-preservation capability.
After all, no Divine Power Realm expert would willingly take a hit from Emperor Lingxu.
Luckily, Wang Luojing wasn’t weak, and after receiving healing from Wang Shouzhe’s Life Origin Energy, she soon recovered a good portion of her spirit and went back to her quarters to rest and heal.
Next was Wang Luqiu’s turn.
Her goal was simply to last ten extra breaths longer than Wang Luojing. This battle was extrely fierce. Even though her Glazed Ming King War Body had been cultivated to a high level, she couldn’t ultimately overco the young Demon God.
Fortunately, her bloodline level was no ordinary Great Celestial Pride, and she held so advantages in cultivation, allowing her to just barely hold on. When she exited after dragging the ti, she was nearly unable to stand and was carried off by Wang Shouzhe.
This was the most embarrassing battle in the life of the distinguished "Young Empress".
However, the benefits of this battle for her were imasurable, as her War Body bloodline and cultivated War Body True Techniques required continuous tempering in battle to quickly break through and grow stronger.
Is there a better way to temper herself in battle than facing a young Demon God?
It’s believed that thereafter, her overall combat power would again experience qualitative growth. Once she processes the fruits of battle, even if she were to follow Wang Liyao to the Upper Capital City and sweep through celestial talents, she’d likely return with a smile.
"Rember, don’t go to the Upper Capital City to clear the stages." Wang Shouzhe warned harshly as he tossed her onto a bunk in the barracks, "Otherwise, don’t bla your fourth brother for expelling you from the family."
Joking aside, the family had already exposed sufficient potential. If Wang Luqiu were to cause a commotion, it might not incite envy and respect, but fear.
Moreover, Emperor Longchang would undoubtedly summon Wang Luqiu if she cleared the stages.
Emperor Longchang isn’t any good either, and how exceptional could Wang Luqiu be?
If both tried to show off, they might end up displeased with each other and cause a conflict. What if Emperor Longchang perishes from anger?
In Wang Shouzhe’s future plans, Prince Anjun still needs Emperor Longchang’s support.
"Don’t worry, sweeping through celestial talents in the imperial city and following my niece’s path is quite disgraceful," Wang Luqiu replied seriously, "I won’t go to the imperial city, nor do I want to see the old emperor’s appearance."
