Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 996: Chapter 361: The New Fiveyuan Defender, Breakthrough and Assembly Date, First Foray into Waters_3

If you perform well, naturally the Eight Departments and the Minister will notice you. Being transferred to rule such an important place like Wuyuan by Xia Chuan is evidence of that.

The key point is, this time the Lord didn’t deny me.

Does this mean I’ve gained the Lord’s recognition?

Shi Ping slightly clenched his fist, a flash of excitement passing through his eyes.

”Oh, there’s one more thing I forgot to tell you...”

Yuan Cheng suddenly remembered something and continued to Shi Ping, ”The Lord and his family seem to have headed to Wuyuan three days ago. Not sure about the Madam and the two Highnesses, but the Lord is expected to reside in Wuyuan for some time, so don’t embarrass us or the Minister.”

With the imminent battle between Dajue Temple and Nine Towns, Wuyuan is the closest, and it’s easy to foresee Xia Hong residing there just in case.

Shi Ping was stunned upon hearing this, then his expression became even more serious as he nodded and said, ”Understood, brother-in-law. I will do my best.”

His appointment to Wuyuan was certainly decided by Xia Chuan. The Garrison Department issued the transfer order, and naturally, Yuan Cheng as the Director was also involved. If he made any mistakes after taking office, both of them would definitely be held responsible.

”I must do my best, can’t let the Minister and brother-in-law down!”

Moao Calendar Year 131, October 9

”Uh... uh... ah...”

In a wooden hut near the main building in Lower River Village.

Xiang Liang was sitting in a wooden basin, letting out incredibly painful suppressed roars. As Bai Shanqiu kept pouring Beast Blood over him, his roars grew more painful, and the skin membrane all over his body incessantly tore and restructured.

Bai Shanqiu looked at Xiang Liang’s bulging veins, every muscle in his body twitching and trembling, even though he said nothing, his eyes were full of amazement, and he felt the urge to stop several times.

”Isn’t that enough? Why are you so desperate, it’s already five catties.”

Hearing Bai Shanqiu’s words, Xiang Liang forced himself to open his eyes, shakily saying, ”Con... tinue... continue... I must... break through... tonight... ah...”

Bai Shanqiu hesitated for a moment, then ladled another scoop of Beast Blood directly onto him.

Hiss......

Xiang Liang’s entire skin membrane started cracking and smoking, the rate of remodeling lagged behind the destruction, he was clearly beyond his limit.

Yet he continued to endure, worried he wouldn’t hold out, he placed a prepared piece of iron directly into his mouth to bite on.

”Last scoop, get through this and it should work!”

By now Bai Shanqiu was already scared out of his wits, but seeing Xiang Liang’s determined gaze, he still poured the last scoop of Beast Blood onto him.

”Uh-uh...”

The Ten-forged Iron block in Xiang Liang’s mouth had been bitten halfway through, he could only use his throat to roar; it was clear he had reached some critical point. He swung his fists down hard at the bottom of the wooden basin.

Bang!

The wooden basin shattered directly, the strong shockwave forced Bai Shanqiu back a couple of meters. Once all the strength had spilled out, Xiang Liang was immediately exhausted, collapsing onto the ground.

Bai Shanqiu quickly rushed to support him, watching as blood seeped from his pores, and the membrane recovery speed was drastically accelerating, his worry instantly turning to delight.

”Good kid, you really did it. It’s the first time I’ve seen the birth of a Superior Battle Body; kid, your future is limitless!”

Xiang Liang had already fainted, so he couldn’t hear these words.

Bai Shanqiu looked at Xiang Liang, whose eyes were tightly shut, his face full of amazement.

Xiang Liang had quite a good qualification, not just him, even Xu Ning was aware, otherwise, he wouldn’t have chosen Xiang Liang among so many in Wuyuan to join him in lurking in Lower River Village.

But to be this good was far beyond his expectations.

”When he came at the beginning of the year, his basic strength was just over eighty thousand catties, I thought at most he was a good Intermediate Battle Body. This kid actually held back for over half a year, stubbornly reaching one hundred and three thousand plus catties before breaking through.”
