Chapter 403: Seven Seas Flood Dragon Armor (2)
Xiao Jianghe’s decision to have his soldiers remove their armor was within Zhou Shu’s expectations.
He had discussed this matter with Zhou Shu before.
These 30,000 soldiers did not refer to themselves as Great Wei soldiers, so they were naturally unwilling to wear the armor of Great Wei soldiers. They wanted to remove all the symbols regarding Great Wei and redeem the sins of Great Wei on the battlefield in the name of the Criminal Army, taking back the glory that belonged to the Great Wei soldiers.
Swish!
Zhou Shu raised his hand and beckoned. An invisible force transformed into invisible hands that grabbed the armor that the Criminal Army had taken off.
Zhou Shu’s hands instantly turned red, as if magma was flowing between them.
These suits of armor flew between his hands and turned into a fiery red solution.
Then the solution twisted and changed in the air.
Meng Bai, Wang Mu, and Tang Chengshi looked at each other. What was the king trying to do?
Xiao Jianghe was prepared, so his expression didn’t change. But the anticipation flashing in the depths of his eyes exposed his heart.
In his heart, he was not completely unmoved.
Swish!
Tens of thousands of armor sets quickly melted into liquid.
……
Everyone saw some black impurities fall from the liquid, and then they saw Zhou Shu wave his hands again.
The invisible hands grabbed the turmeric crystals on the backs of the soldiers. Under the power of the Iron Smelting Hands Technique, they melted into liquid form.
The yellowish-brown solution entered the ball of liquid.
It was as if a thunder dragon had roared. Under everyone’s shocked gazes, the fused liquid solidified and squirmed into a full-body armor suit at a visible speed!
The armor was colorful and dazzling.
Meng Bai, Wang Mu, and Tang Chengshi widened their eyes.?What beautiful armor! I love it!
Envy flashed across their eyes. If not for the fact that it was still in Zhou Shu’s hands, the three of them would have even had the urge to snatch it away.
Boom!
The flames seemed to have a life of their own as they flowed endlessly on the armor.
A Heaven Refining Stone appeared in his hand. With a casual squeeze, the Heaven Refining Stone melted into liquid.
Zhou Shu used his finger as a brush and waved it on the armor.
The spots of light landed on the armor like stars in the sky.
One, two, three…
As more and more stars were fixed, star paths appeared in front of everyone.
Throughout the process, everyone seemed to see the birth of a work of art. They even ignored the flow of time.
After an unknown period of time, the armor under Zhou Shu finally took shape!
A beam of light flowed across the star paths inside it, as if its spiritual essence was circulating. A dazzling light enveloped its entire body.
Roar!
With a dragon roar, a flood dragon appeared in front of everyone. It circled around the armor a few times before entering it.
This…
Meng Bai, Wang Mu, Tang Chengshi, and Xiao Jianghe were all green with envy.
Buzz!
The light faded, and the flames in Zhou Shu’s hand had disappeared, leaving behind a suit of shiny full-body armor.
Zhou Shu smiled and nodded in satisfaction.
“I succeeded,” Zhou Shu muttered. “I’m indeed a genius. I succeeded in one try.”
Meng Bai: “…”
Wang Mu: “…”
Tang Chengshi: “…”
“Is this the armor you told me about, Your Highness?” Xiao Jianghe touched the Cosmic Bangle on his wrist and looked at the armor on Zhou Shu’s hand.
If he had known that there were so many benefits to being loyal to Zhou Shu, he would have come to Great Xia long ago!
In Great Wei, what benefits was there other than being used as a tool?
After decades, as a first-rank expert, he had only obtained an ordinary heaven-grade weapon!
Look at Great Xia. Even their armor was heaven grade!
Xiao Jianghe was a Forging Master, so he could naturally tell that the armor Zhou Shu had forged on the spot was already a heaven-grade weapon in terms of star positions and the number of star paths!
He was also extremely shocked. He had never thought that a heaven-grade weapon could be forged in this manner.
Xiao Jianghe had never seen anyone else with such a smooth forging technique in his life!
It had only taken Zhou Shu a short while to forge a heaven-grade armor out of thin air!
With such an opponent, how could Emperor Wei Wu not be defeated?
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Xiao Jianghe’s mind.
He was even a little glad that he had chosen to be loyal to Zhou Shu. Otherwise, Great Wei would probably have been eliminated by now.
“That’s right.” Zhou Shu nodded. “This is the armor I promised you.
“This is the Seven Seas Flood Dragon Armor. I’ll give it to you today. I hope you can wear it and display your might on the battlefield.”
Zhou Shu handed over the Seven Seas Flood Dragon Armor.
He was very satisfied with the Seven Seas Flood Dragon Armor, but he didn’t need it.
With the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique and Golden Bell Shield Technique at perfection, his own defense was even stronger than heaven-grade armor. Moreover, he was not a main combatant, so there was no need for him to wear armor.
This Seven Seas Flood Dragon Armor was refined from the essence of the armor on the 30,000 Criminal Army soldiers and other forging materials. It was given to Xiao Jianghe as a reward.
The Seven Seas Flood Dragon Armor was different from the Dark Cloud Armor.
The Dark Cloud Armor was a reward from the Legendary Armament Canon. If a soldier wore it and completed kills, the Legendary Armament Canon wouldn’t give any rewards.
This Seven Seas Flood Dragon Armor was personally forged by Zhou Shu and had already been recorded in the Legendary Armament Canon.
If Xiao Jianghe wore the Seven Seas Flood Dragon Armor and killed enemies, the Legendary Armament Canon would definitely reward Zhou Shu.
Since they were workers, they needed tools in order to work.
Meng Bai, Wang Mu, and Tang Chengshi all looked at Xiao Jianghe enviously.
The three of them also felt a little indignant. How could he, a criminal general, have this Seven Seas Flood Dragon Armor?
The next moment, the three of them knew why.
Xiao Jianghe, who had put on the Seven Seas Flood Dragon Armor, knelt on one knee in front of Zhou Shu and shouted, “I shall follow Your Highness to the death!”
Kneeling was not popular in the Ten Nations Continent, especially for first-rank martial artists. Even when facing an emperor, they wouldn;t kneel casually.
Putting aside his other identities, Xiao Jianghe had already made it clear that he was willing to follow Zhou Shu as a servant!
In that case, his life belonged to Zhou Shu, and he had already become one of his people.
Was there anything strange about rewarding the Seven Seas Flood Dragon Armor to his own person?
An urge flashed through all three of them, but then they shook their heads with wry smiles.
How could they be loyal to Zhou Shu with their status?
Even if this person was Great Xia’s King of the South, Great Qin’s Side-by-side King, and Great Qin’s Country Protector King, it wouldn’t do.
They couldn’t help envying Xiao Jianghe.
Perhaps Xiao Jianghe’s crime was a blessing in disguise.
If not for Great Wei, how could he lower himself and follow Zhou Shu like this?
This might be an opportunity for him.
“I said, don’t talk about dying.” Zhou Shu slapped his forehead. “If you die, won’t I suffer a huge loss?
“I didn’t give you the Seven Seas Flood Dragon Armor for you to die! Before you completely defeat the Demon Realm, live well!”
“Yes!” Xiao Jianghe was touched. He placed his palm in front of his heart and felt the power of the Seven Seas Dragon Armor. His mood kept changing.
“It’s the same for all of you.” Zhou Shu’s gaze landed on the army.
“Since you’ve pledged your loyalty to me, the Criminal Army will be my personal army.
“Later, I will also reforge all your armor. What you have to do is to live well and kill enemies fearlessly. Chase back all those invaders from the Demon Realm!”
“As Your Highness commands!” the 30,000 Criminal Army soldiers shouted.
Meng Bai and Wang Mu looked at each other and saw the meaning in each other’s eyes. These 30,000 soldiers didn’t belong to Great Xia, Great Qin, or even Great Wei. They belonged to Zhou Shu alone; it was his private army!
