Chapter 500 - The Final Test
Chapter 500: The Final Test
Jiang Feng had noticed it.
There were seven moves for the Sword of Time sword style.
And he could easily learn the seven moves by learning it from an opponent that uses the Sword of Time sword style.
He could also perceive and master it himself, but it would be much more difficult.
Ding. System Prompt. Congratulations on passing the test and receiving Zhuge Liang’s Recruitment Order.
Jiang Feng had just damaged his duplicate and was going to continue to learn the next Sword of Time move, the system’s voice rang in his ears and an order tablet appeared in his hand. And he was stunned because of that.
Whoosh!
As soon as the system’s voice rang, his figure disappeared from the Heavenly Stairs and appeared in a cottage with a roof made of straw.
Within the cottage, there was a very handsome man wearing a white coat with long, silver hair.
The man was playing a wooden zither gracefully, and the soothing tune from the zither calmed Jiang Feng, who had just gone through a battle, down.
Zhuge Liang: Best Strategist in Divine Dominion
Introduction: Zhuge Liang, styled Kongming. He has mastered the contents of many books and is extremely talented in various fields. He can foretell all the major events through watching the paths of the sun, moon, and stars. He can also create soldiers from beans and can easily defeat an army of millions!
Sacred Health: 5,000,000
Sacred Attack: 500,000
Sacred Defense: 200,000
Skills: ???
…
He looked at the stats of the extremely handsome Zhuge Liang in front of him, and he was quite speechless.
While his introduction was quite cocky, his stats were quite normal. Any of the players that had passed his test could easily kill him.
But after giving it a thought, he understood why.
He was a commander and not a fighter, it was only natural that his stats were quite bad.
When Jiang Feng entered, he did not disturb Zhuge Liang. He put away the Recruitment Order and sat on the seat by the side and had a taste of a cup of tea on the table.
Obviously, the tea was prepared for the first person that had completed the test.
After finishing his tea, Zhuge Liang’s tune had also stopped.
“A good tune!” Jiang Feng clapped and praised him when he saw Zhuge Liang walking toward him.
“You know music?” Zhuge Liang looked at Jiang Feng, surprised.
Jiang Feng then shook his head with a smile and said, “No, but I enjoyed it.”
Zhuge Liang smiled. “As expected, the Shifter Emperor is a man that does not conceal his emotions. While you are the first person that has passed the test, there is one last test if you wish for me to join you.”
Jiang Feng did not expect there to be another test and asked curiously, “What kind of test?”
Zhuge Liang looked outside the window and said in a matter-of-fact tone, “Survive!”
After he heard Zhuge Liang’s words, Jiang Feng realized what was going to happen next.
As he had gained the Divine Dominion’s Best Strategist, the other four nations would not let him live. They would fight for Zhuge Liang.
But that was not a very difficult test for him. All he needed to do was to take Zhuge Liang into the Lianyao Flask and call the Floating Island. Even if the elites of the four nations attack him at the same time, they would not be able to harm him at all.
When he thought about that, he took out the Lianyao Flask and said, “It is very easy for me to take you out of this place alive!”
Zhuge Liang glanced at the Lianyao Flask and shook his head with a smile. “I know that you have plenty of spatial items. But what I want to tell you is that I cannot enter any of them. If I enter, I will not be able to interact with any information outside. Many of my skills would lose their effects for a very long time.”
His words made Jiang Feng frown.
If Zhuge Liang’s skills were deactivated, many of his strategic and calculative abilities could not be used. And then he would be quite useless like any other normal NPC.
If he did not transport him into the Lianyao Flask, it would be extremely difficult to protect him from the attacks of the other four nations.
He would have less than a 10% chance to keep Zhuge Liang alive.
There were so many Inheritors and players out there, and he could not handle all of them on his own.
Zhuge Liang could sense Jiang Feng’s struggle, and said, “Worry not. I will help when the time comes. As long as you do not allow anyone too powerful to come close to me, I will be able to protect myself.”
Jiang Feng nodded. “Alright. But before this, I have to make some arrangements.”
He had come to Mount Fulong on his own. Everyone else was at the Shifter Emperor’s Planet. If he was going to start a war, he would need to gather every elite from the Shifter faction. Otherwise, he had less than a 1% chance of winning.
With that in mind, he quickly sent a message to Ling Feiyu, “Gather everyone at Mount Fulong!”
***
Ling Feiyu was arranging the tasks for everyone from the Shifter faction on the Shifter Emperor’s Planet when she received Jiang Feng’s message, and she was slightly surprised.
‘Gather everyone? Is the war beginning?’ She thought to herself curiously and gathered everyone on the Shifter Emperor’s Planet. All of them went toward the Teleportation Circle and teleported straight to the Royal Qin City.
No matter what Jiang Feng wanted to do, there had to be a reason for it. As his greatest support, all Ling Feiyu needed to do was to arrange everything else.
***
When Jiang Feng passed through the final test on the Heavenly Stairs.
Xuanyuan Qi, little Modi, Lux, Su Daji, and the others all had been teleported out of the Eight Front Formation.
“Damn it! The Shifter Emperor still managed to reach it first. Looks like he has already recruited Zhuge Liang,” Xuanyuan Qi said to Johns and the others with cold eyes. “Gather the Divines’ army! Even if we cannot recruit Zhuge Liang, we cannot allow them to leave this place alive. If he were to survive this, he would be our greatest threat yet!”
Zhuge Liang was extremely good when it came to organizing armies and setting up formations. He could use ten normal soldiers to completely defeat fifty elite soldiers, and that alone was a testament to how terrifying an enemy he would become.
If the Shifters received the help of Zhuge Liang, the Shifter faction’s chance of winning in the World War and the Great Divine-Infernal War would greatly increase, and that was not something that they were willing to see.
When Yao Qiong appeared outside of the Eight Front Formation, she also said to Davies next to her, “We should gather the Infernals’ army as well. We cannot allow Zhuge Liang to leave here alive!”
While little Modi was the leader of the Infernals, he was still quite respectful of Yao Qiong since she treated him very well, and she was also the Inheritor designated by Moji which granted her great reputation among the Infernals.
Not to mention that little Modi was still quite unsure with what his responsibilities were, and only knew that he had to fight. He would not think beyond that for now.
Shi Long, who was standing behind Su Daji, said to the few generals behind him, “Send in the army, and stop Zhuge Liang from leaving here alive!”
“Stop!” Su Daji suddenly said. “No need to summon our army. With the Divines Nation, the Infernals Nation, and the Angels Nation here, they would deal with the Shifters Nation. Meanwhile, all we need to do is observe. Since we are the leading faction on Silvermoon, there is no advantage for us to start a war here and now. If the other four Nations were to attack us in unison, the Shang Nation would be in danger. If that is the case, we might as well have them fight among themselves first!”
What Su Daji said made a lot of sense, but Shi Long could not help but frown. What Su Daji suggested could indeed reduce the Shang nation’s losses, but he was suspicious of her helping Jiang Feng.
But when he remembered that Su Daji was so beloved by King Zhou, he did not say anything. If Su Daji were to whine about him, King Zhou might even kill him.
If he were dead, then all of the Hellraisers’ plan would be done for. When he remembered that, he decided to go along with everything that Su Daji had decided upon.
