Legendary Armament Canon Chapter 81 - I'm Not a Weakling

Chapter 81: I’m Not a Weakling

Zhou Shu smiled brightly. But in Yin Wuyou’s eyes, for some reason, she felt that this smile might not be a good thing for some people.

“I’ve said what I needed to say. You can handle the rest yourself.” Yin Wuyou walked out proudly while speaking. “You’re under me. I won’t allow anyone to bully you. You can rest a.s.sured about this.”

Under you? Zhou Shu pouted. In your dreams!

After sending Yin Wuyou off, Zhou Shu returned to the hall, sat on a chair, and rubbed his chin. That old thief’s tricks are really nonstop!

Zhou Shu didn’t need to think to know that Yin Wuyou had come today because someone was stirring up trouble!

Yin Wuyou had previously promised him that as long as the 0th Workshop developed a new weapon within three months, she would consider that Zhou Shu had completed his mission.

It hadn’t even been a month, but Yin Wuyou had already come to tell him that the 0th Workshop had to take part in the monthly examination.

Wasn’t this obvious?

That old thief really has some ability. Even the grand minister couldn’t do anything about it.

From Yin Wuyou’s att.i.tude, it was obvious that she was unwilling.

Even though she was unwilling, she had no choice but to do it. It could only mean that she had been forced to do so.

Zhou Shu wasn’t surprised by this. Even though she was a princess, she couldn’t do whatever she wanted, which was normal.

Thinking about how the 0th Workshop’s materials had been cut off, Zhou Shu would never believe that Zhu Chuanfeng wasn’t behind this matter.

This Grand Craftsman was indeed not an ordinary person. His influence was greater than Zhou Shu had expected!

But if the Grand Craftsman thought that he would admit defeat just like that, he was wrong.

So what if you’re a Grand Craftsman? I’m not afraid of you. Zhou Shu snorted coldly. Old b.a.s.t.a.r.d, other than being older than me, what other strengths do you have?

Just because a tiger doesn’t show its might, do you think it’s a sick cat?

Zhou Shu was truly a little angry.

He had never provoked Zhu Chuanfeng, but this old thief was like a ghost that refused to leave. It truly made him feel disgusted.

If not because he wasn’t sure if there were any experts around the old thief, Zhou Shu really wanted to rush over and beat him up.

Of course, he could only think about it.

If he really killed a Grand Craftsman, Great Xia would definitely not let him off easily and would certainly investigate to the end.

With Zhou Shu’s current strength, he couldn’t ignore the existence of the Great Xia Imperial Court.

If he had the strength of a first-rank martial artist, he wouldn’t hesitate to kill the old thing directly.

Of course, if he really had the strength of a first-rank martial artist, Zhu Chuanfeng wouldn’t dare to scheme against him no matter how much courage he had.

You want to shut down my workshop? Dream on.

Zhou Shu snorted coldly. He stood up and walked toward the backyard.

He wanted to forge the last few Spring Embroidered Sabers. A new weapon was about to appear in the Legendary Armament Canon. At that time, he wanted to see who would still dare to say that the workshop had no results!

[You receive a reward of five years of cultivation because the Huben Saber you forged effectively completed a kill!]

[You receive a reward of three years of cultivation because the Huben Saber you forged effectively completed a kill!]

…

Zhou Shu had just stepped into the backyard when a few messages suddenly appeared in front of him. Within his dantian, a powerful force descended from the sky, and a berserk energy instantly surged into his limbs and bones.

Crack!

The Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique broke through the barrier of the eighth level and directly went up to the ninth level!

An endless stream of energy surged into his body. He felt as if his entire body was full of power. Right now, he would be able to throw an elephant out like a shot put.

This is… Zhou Shu’s eyes lit up. It’s only been a few days since the army set off, and they’ve already encountered enemies?

After he thought about it carefully, the Huben Sabers that Meng Bai wanted were for the scouts, so it was normal for them to encounter enemies ahead of time.

And judging from the feedback, the people they encountered were not ordinary people.

Previously, Zhou Shu already knew that when the Huben Sabers completed a kill, the benefits he obtained would not necessarily be two years of cultivation. Depending on the strength of the one killed, the amount of cultivation he obtained would also change.

If it was a ranked martial artist, his cultivation might even double.

Back then, his Golden Bell Shield Technique had broken through to the sixth level after a Horse Slaying Saber killed a ranked martial artist.

The ninth level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique… I will soon be comparable to the King of the Golden Wheel at his peak.

Zhou Shu was happy. The growth of cultivation was always something to be happy about.

But if I want to reach the tenth level, I need five hundred and twelve years of cultivation. It’s a long way to go.

The Huben Sabers that could give him cultivation were only the 100 sabers he had personally forged. It would take a while before he could receive 512 years of cultivation.

But when an army marched out, what they didn’t lack the most were opportunities to fight. Zhou Shu didn’t need to worry about not having a chance to become stronger.

The scouts have already met the enemy. It seems that the army will go into battle soon.

If the Hundred Refinements Ring Pommel Sabers and Horse Slaying Sabers can complete enough kills, my Heavenly Saber Art and Golden Bell Shield Technique should be able to break through.

Putting aside the Heavenly Saber Art, if the Golden Bell Shield Technique could break through to the twelfth level, it would be equivalent to having an invincible body.

At that time, Zhou Shu reckoned that even a first-rank martial artist might not be able to kill him.

Won’t I be able to do whatever I want then?

However, it was even more difficult to level up the Golden Bell Shield Technique than the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique. If he wanted to reach greater mastery, it would probably take quite some time.

It’s a pity that the Spring Embroidered Sabers weren’t equipped for the army. I wonder how long it will take to upgrade the Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form.

Zhou Shu had agreed to supply the Spring Embroidered Sabers to the Divine Constable Bureau. Although the Divine Constable Bureau had many opportunities to fight, it was still much less than the army.

He could only hope that the Divine Constable Bureau’s opponent’s cultivation level would be higher and that the feedback of the Spring Embroidered Sabers completing kills would be greater.

If the Legendary Armament Canon could reward me with a set of flying sword techniques, it would be awesome.

When the time comes, I will take Zhu Chuanfeng’s head with a swoosh. Who would know that I did it?

I can’t kill the old thief now, but I can’t just let this matter rest!

I have to think of a way. It’s not my style to take a beating without retaliating!

This old thief is a Grand Craftsman. He has money and status. For him to use such unscrupulous means to make me his disciple, something must be up!

Regardless of whether it was in Great Xia or any other country on the land, a Grand Craftsman was an existence with an extraordinary status.

Their status was similar to that of the academicians in Zhou Shu’s previous life. Ordinary benefits wouldn’t attract their attention.

Zhou Shu couldn’t imagine just how valuable the rewards of Great Xia’s military parade would be to be able to make Zhu Chuanfeng’s heart be tempted to such a point.

This was definitely not just because the military parade rewards were valuable.

Furthermore, in Grand Xia’s military parade, the final reward was just for a Forging Master. The Imperial Court wouldn’t reward something too precious. This reward had more meaning than value.

More importantly, it was an honor to be rewarded.

Zhu Chuanfeng can’t be a fool since he could become a Grand Craftsman. There’s definitely a reason why he has to do this!

If it’s just for the reward given by the Imperial Court during the military parade, there’s no need for him to take such a roundabout route. As long as he asks, Great Xia’s emperor will definitely give it to him.

His actions can only mean that he doesn’t want others to know that he needs the reward!

An idea flashed through Zhou Shu’s mind. He seemed to have grasped something.

If, for some reason, Zhu Chuanfeng has to get the reward from the military parade, and this reason can’t be known to others, then what could the reason be?

From instructing Xiao Zongshui and Zhen Cai to kidnap him, cutting off the supply of materials for the 0th Workshop, and then making things difficult for the 0th Workshop, all these things had already far surpa.s.sed the limits of Zhu Chuanfeng’s love for talent.

He had a faint feeling that if he could find out the reason, then he would be able to turn the tables and flip Zhu Chuanfeng over!

All of this is just my guess. I still need to verify it.

If I want to overturn Zhu Chuanfeng, I have to go all out. Otherwise, not only will I not be able to beat the tiger, but I’ll end up getting injured.

I have to take some risks to investigate this matter.

Although he wasn’t afraid of Zhu Chuanfeng’s schemes, and there was nothing he would be able to do to his workshop, people’s energy was limited.

Being on guard against Zhu Chuanfeng’s schemes all day long, how would he be able to work in the future?

Since Zhu Chuanfeng wanted to fight, Zhou Shu would fight him!

I have the Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form. It can conceal my aura and remain as immovable as a mountain. Even people with cultivation much higher than mine might not be able to detect my traces.

Zhou Shu calculated in his heart. Moreover, my Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique has already broken through to the ninth level. Even if I meet a fourth-rank martial artist, I should still be able to put up a fight.

Even if my luck is extremely bad, I should be able to survive against a third-rank Grandmaster.

Zhu Chuanfeng is only a Grand Craftsman, not a Divine Craftsman. It’s impossible for him to have more than a third-rank expert guarding his residence. It’s impossible for a first or second-rank expert to be a guard for a Grand Craftsman.

In that case, the risk isn’t too high.

So I’ll go to Zhu Chuanfeng’s residence tonight and investigate what secrets he has!

Zhou Shu made up his mind. Although he was cautious, he wasn’t afraid of trouble.

Since trouble had already come knocking on his door, he had to resolve it no matter what.

Before I go, I’ll fill up the number of Spring Embroidered Sabers in the Legendary Armament Canon first. Perhaps the next weapon will be useful.

Zhou Shu didn’t dwell on anything else. There were still a few hours until sunset. His cultivation had improved, and the speed at which he forged should be even higher. Before nightfall, he might be able to forge the last few Spring Embroidered Sabers. At that time, the next weapon in the Legendary Armament Canon should appear..
