Chapter 239: Chapter 239 East Xuan Messenger 【Four more updates】_1
It\'s the clan\'s belief that resources should only be used to cultivate the strong. The weak didn\'t need resources.
In the Imperial Dynasty, the Emperor is the benefactor of all people.
Chu Yuan also strolled around the Great Wu Academy, nodding appreciatively at the sight of all the vibrant young men.
Many of them had no prior opportunities to practice martial arts. Now with the opportunity at hand, they eagerly and firmly grasped the chance to change their fates.
Frequently, powerful Divine Communicators were invited to the Great Wu Academy to serve as mentors.
In the past, within these clans, Divine Communicators were Supreme Elders, lofty and mysterious figures whom ordinary disciples could never meet.
But here, Divine Communicators were present daily, often visible to all, which changed their mystique.
These Divine Communicators taught these young men to be rewarded with merits.
They would exchange these merits for Divine Elixirs. The exchange made them stronger than if they just practiced on their own. They didn\'t want to miss this opportunity, and in order to gain even more merits, they often competed against one another.
"The strong from the four prefectures are now basically integrated into Great Wu. They\'ve received a lot of Divine Elixirs, and they can\'t bear to leave. After all, they\'re used to the good life. Who can suddenly endure poverty? Moreover, other than the four prefectures, other prefectures remain very wary of Great Wu, afraid that we will wage war."
Zhu Fengfeng reported the recent situation.
"Let them be wary. Whether we wage war or not depends on my will."
Chu Yuan sat in a pagoda, watching these Great Wu young men practice martial arts. He chuckled and said, "I don\'t have intentions of waging war right now. It hasn\'t been a year since the four prefectures surrendered. We haven\'t fully assimilated them yet. Why should we subdue them? What we need to prioritize now is the production of even more Thunderbolt Cannons, Sky Warships, and the like."
"As per your orders, we\'ve already established the Refining Department."
The Refining Department was explicitly formed to purify materials. It gathered all the Refining Masters from the four prefectures to refine the materials needed for the Thunderbolt Cannon.
"That\'s good. Expand the Refining Department, continue to recruit from other prefectures," Chu Yuan ordered, "as well as improving the other departments." Find adventures at mvl
Fang Lei and Zhu Fengfeng both nodded in agreement.
The devastating war with Cangshan Prefecture showed Fang Lei the terrifying might of these advanced weapons that could easily destroy everything in their path. As loyal subjects, they didn\'t need to question how the king turned the Refining Art into weaponry; they simply had to execute their commands faithfully.
"Additionally, the Cover Moon Sect has sent disciples who wish to communicate with our Great Wu Imperial Dynasty. They are led by the second princess and hope that we can trade some Lingyuan rice and ordinary Tianyuan tea, in quite large quantities at that. They also hope that we can help them refine a batch of Divine Elixirs."
Zhu Fengfeng informed.
"They\'ve dispatched the royal princess, as if to demonstrate her high status within the Cover Moon Sect. I\'ll respect Sect Master Luo enough to give them a portion of Great Wu\'s specialty goods. The disciples from their sect may take a batch of Tianyuan tea leaves with them when they leave."
Chu Yuan laughed," Look, those young lads are having a monthly examination, they\'re so enthusiastic."
There were monthly and seasonal evaluation systems at the Great Wu Academy.
"These are all the most exceptional of the Great Wu youth."
Chu Yuan declared: "Fang Lei, give an order that in five days the first all-Army competition of the four prefectures will take place. We will rank every realm separately. Even the Divine Communicators will participate in a competition. I will watch it personally this time."
The country was at peace for the time being.
Hosting an Army competition could not only boost the army\'s morale, but it could also make people from the four prefectures forget that they were no longer members of various clans, but were subjects of Great Wu instead.
The battlefield buzzed with excitement.
With the commencement of the all-Army competition, everybody\'s interest was aroused. Without any military action, there weren\'t any chances for military merits. Thus, they couldn\'t exchange more resources. The high reward for the competition winners added to the excitement.
The Divine Communicators of four prefectures were also in preparation.
This time Chu Yuan would watch personally. Even though they were Divine Communicators, they all cared about Chu Yuan\'s insights on the competition. They wanted to capture more of Chu Yuan\'s attention and favor.
Though the fights between those below Divine Communicator level were just appetizers, the fights among Divine Communicators were the ultimate spectacle.
The Divine Communicators divided their fights into three levels based on the ten ranks of the Divine Communicator realm. Each rank winner would receive corresponding merits.
In Great Wu, merits were more valuable than king-grade divine stones. They represented Divine Elixirs.
Apart from the few practitioners in the Cangshan Prefecture, which had perished, the Guihai, Yuping, and Lezhang prefectures together had fifty or sixty Divine Communicators.
Moreover, Chu Yuan activated the National Defense Array, carving out a battlefield where they could spar.
"The first round: Deputy Leader of the first battalion of Wuxuan Army against the Deputy Leader of the second battalion."
After their surrender, the people from the four prefectures were directly included into Wuxuan Army.
Fang Lei was the commander of the Wuxuan Army.
For the Divine Communicators from the four prefectures, Chu used a mixed mechanism to disrupt their original arrangements. Every person was assigned to a battalion and they all represented the honor of their battalion.
If their battalion achieved good results in the Army competition, their battalion\'s living conditions would significantly improve before the next Army competition, which would incentivize them to practice harder without any slack.
The battles between Divine Communicators were indeed intense.
Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to see so many Divine Communicators gather for a fight. It was just unheard of.
But through the Army competition, Divine Communicators got a chance to exchange experiences, this also provided them with benefits.
The ranking of each participant came out quite quickly.
The winning parties were jubilant, the battalions they belonged to cheered and celebrated.
On the other hand, the losing parties were dejected but held back their anger, determined to defeat their opponents in the next competition.
The generous rewards from the Army competition forced these Divine Communicators to give it their all in the competition.
Not participating?
In the long run, if others accumulated more Divine Elixirs than themselves, their strengths would lag behind.
"Your Majesty, people from Dongxuan Imperial Dynasty had come to visit Wu City."
In the midst of the Army competition, Zhu Fengfeng informed Chu Yuan of this news.
"Dongxuan Imperial Dynasty!
Upon hearing these four words, Fang Lei\'s face changed dramatically: "The Dongxuan Imperial Dynasty is here. In the Dongxuan Region, the Dongxuan Imperial Dynasty and the Xuanxing Sect occupied half of the Dongxuan Region, controlling the richest resources. How could they have chosen to visit now!"
The Dongxuan Imperial Dynasty, a six-star dynasty, had a Virtual God in it and was much stronger than the Cover Moon Sect.
"Dongxuan Imperial Dynasty! It seems this visit is not a good sign." Lu Qianfu commented.
"Good ones do not come, the Dongxuan Imperial Dynasty sends diplomats under the name of visiting, but in my opinion, they\'ve come to scout out the details on Great Wu. After all, I have conquered the four prefectures and that should not be taken lightly in the Dongxuan Region. If the Dongxuan Imperial Dynasty didn\'t investigate, that would truly be strange!"
Chu Yuan stated indifferently.
"Your Majesty, are we going to meet them or not?"
"Meet them! Why not? Let them witness Great Wu\'s strength."
Chu Yuan commanded in a solemn voice: "However, if they want to meet me, they got to follow Great Wu\'s rules."
"Announce, the Dongxuan emissary!"
A voice rang out.
"The emissary of the Dongxuan Imperial Dynasty has come to visit the Martial Emperor!"
This statement seemed to be a formal salute to Chu Yuan, but it was filled with superiority. Immediately, over a hundred figures did not wait for further communication and flew directly towards Wu City.
Chu Yuan, with a cold glance, mobilised the country\'s vast fortune energy and laid down oppressive might.
