Chapter 339 – If Hard Work Is Useful, What Is the Use of Talent? (2)
“Grand Minister, where is my brother?”
“You mean Sir Mi?” Yin Wuyou said. “He led the troops out of the camp to kill the nearby demonic beasts.
“There have been demon scouts in the vicinity of our camp from time to time. Our position must have been completely compromised.
“If General Meng and the others weren’t restrained the Demon Realm army, we would have been surrounded by the Demon Realm army long ago.
“Sir Mi says that the crisis at our camp is imminent, so he has to speed up his training.
“The soldiers in the camp now are not considered top-notch in terms of strength and talent. Therefore, only by making them cultivate and fight desperately can they grow quickly,” Yin Wuyou explained.
“Go out of the camp and kill the scouts from the Demon Realm? Train soldiers? Will this method work?” Zhou Shu said. “Can it increase everyone’s strength?”
“Definitely. Combat is the fastest way to improve your martial arts,” Yin Wuyou said.
“Then, how did you become a second-rank martial artist without much actual combat?” Zhou Shu blurted out.
Yin Wuyou: “…”
/
Can it be compared like this? I’m a genius…
“Although it’s not very reliable, Big Brother’s path is wide.”
Zhou Shu rubbed his chin. Although he didn’t think this method would increase the strength of the soldiers much, the more enemies they killed, the more rewards he would receive.
But for workers, the more overtime they work, the happier the boss would be.
If Big Brother had said earlier that they were going out of the camp to kill enemies, I would have shared my Battle Spirit Tiger Soul with him.
Zhou Shu also had a divine ability called the Battle Spirit Tiger Soul. It could increase the strength of soldiers by 50%.
This was much faster than soldiers improving their strength through cultivation.
“Are you looking for Sir Mi?”
Yin Wuyou was already used to hearing Zhou Shu’s infuriating words from time to time. She didn’t know about the term ‘humblebrag’. Otherwise, she would definitely use it on Zhou Shu.
“It’s nothing.” Zhou Shu shook his head. He had asked about Mi Ziwen because a message had flashed before his eyes.
[The Cosmic Bangle you forged has aided in completing a kill. You are rewarded with an Essence Cleansing Pill.]
Previously, he had thought that the Cosmic Bangle couldn’t bring about a reward, so there was no benefit in spending time and effort to forge it.
As a result, reality slapped him in the face.
Who said there are no rewards for auxiliary weapons?
What is with this aided kill?
Is it possible that as long as someone with a Cosmic Bangle completes a kill, it’s considered a kill?
In that case, it seems pretty good.
Yin Wuyou’s heart skipped a beat when she saw Zhou Shu in a daze. Did he have another epiphany?
If this continues, I won’t be unable to keep up with him.
How can anyone have an epiphany so often?
It’s unreasonable!
No, I can’t slack off anymore. I have to cultivate hard and break through to the first rank as soon as possible!
Zhou Shu checked the effects of the Essence Cleansing Pill he had just obtained in his mind and asked, “Grand Minister, how many people are left in the camp now?”
The Essence Cleansing Pill had the effect of cleansing one’s essence and meridians. It could change the aptitude and talent of the person who consumed it. It was effective if more was consumed!
A pill that could change one’s talent was a good thing!
The key was that multiple uses actually worked!
The Breakthrough Pill he had obtained previously was only effective when someone took the first pill. Although the effect was heaven-defying, to be honest, there was a huge limit to using it.
This Essence Cleansing Pill was different. Although it couldn’t instantly increase someone’s cultivation, it could change a person’s aptitude. This solved the fundamental problem.
As people’s aptitude increased, so would their cultivation speed.
For example, Zhou Shu’s Martial Dao aptitude was very poor. If not for the Legendary Armament Canon, he would have needed two years to cultivate the first level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique.
For geniuses, it might only take a few months or even a few days to master the first level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique!
This was the difference between humans. Sometimes, it was even greater than the difference between humans and demonic beasts.
“Yang Hong is here,” Yin Wuyou said. “He just returned to the camp not long ago and is recuperating.”

Rather than recuperating, he had actually returned to find Zhou Shu because his enhancement from Zhou Shu’s divine ability Unparalleled Benevolence had run out.
Without Zhou Shu’s Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique, how could Yang Hong have the strength to kill demons outside?
“He’s here? That’s perfect.” Zhou Shu smiled.
“Grand Minister, help me send for him,” Zhou Shu instructed bluntly.
Yin Wuyou didn’t feel anything. She nodded and got up to look for Yang Hong.
A moment later, Yang Hong arrived in front of Zhou Shu.
“You wanted to see me, Your Highness?” Yang Hong bowed. “I was consolidating my experience on this trip. Your Highness, thank you for giving me the chance to kill enemies. I feel that my strength has been soaring recently, and I’m about to break through to the eighth rank.”
Yang Hong was a little excited. It didn’t matter that he would completely forget everything about the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique when the time came.
The combat experience he accumulated stayed with him.
It would also benefit him greatly.
As Yin Wuyou had said, actual combat was a shortcut to improving one’s martial arts.
Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for him to fight against those demonic beasts that were far stronger than him. He would be torn to pieces the moment he attacked.
But with Zhou Shu’s Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique, not only could Yang Hong fight seventh or eighth-rank demonic beasts, but he could even fight fifth or sixth-rank demonic beasts.
This combat experience allowed Yang Hong, who was clearly only a ninth-rank martial artist, to use the power of a seventh-rank martial artist.
He now felt that as long as he cultivated in seclusion for a period of time, he could naturally break through to the eighth rank.
If he accumulated enough experience, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to break through to the seventh rank in the future.
“This is for you.” Zhou Shu flipped his wrist, and a pill as thick as a finger appeared in his palm. He casually threw it to Yang Hong.
“What?” Yang Hong subconsciously caught it.
“It’s good stuff. Try it,” Zhou Shu said with a smile.
He had never given Yang Hong the Breakthrough Pill. It was because Yang Hong’s cultivation was too weak, and it would be a waste to take the Breakthrough Pill.
If a ninth-grade martial artist needed the help of a Breakthrough Pill to break through to the eighth grade, then there was really no value in nurturing them…
Yang Hong looked at the pill in his hand and felt puzzled.
But he didn’t suspect anything. If Zhou Shu wanted to harm him, there was no need for him to do so. He could easily crush a mere ninth-rank martial artist like him with a finger.
Without hesitation, Yang Hong popped the Essence Cleansing Pill into his mouth.
Zhou Shu sized up Yang Hong with interest.
In fact, Zhou Shu’s Martial Dao talent was frighteningly poor. He was the one who needed the Essence Cleansing Pill the most.
Although Yang Hong’s cultivation was not high, he was still a ranked martial artist. His Martial Dao aptitude was considered not bad.
People who had poor aptitude couldn’t even be ranked.
Zhou Shu gave the Essence Cleansing Pill to Yang Hong mainly to see its effects.
To put it bluntly, he was treating Yang Hong as a test subject…
As for why it was Yang Hong, he was lucky. At this moment, he was the only suitable person in the camp.
As for the others, Yin Wuyou was a genius herself, so it didn’t matter if she had an Essence Cleansing Pill or not.
Shi Songtao’s talent was also especially outstanding.
Haitang was also in the camp, but Zhou Shu wasn’t sure about using a little girl as a test subject. Even though he was sure that there would be no problem with the Essence Cleansing Pill, he wasn’t sure how it worked.
What if something happened?
Yang Hong, on the other hand, was fine. He had thick skin and was resistant to torture!

As soon as the pill entered his mouth, Yang Hong felt a warm current surge into his dantian.
Then he felt a churning in his stomach, as if something was about to spew out.
His eyes bulged a little.
He clutched his stomach with one hand and his back with the other.
He was careless. He knew that there would be trouble every time he saw the king!
“I’m going to relieve myself!” Yang Hong shouted and skipped away like a rabbit.
