A Top Scholar in Everything

Underground water prison.

Zi Luo's movements froze, his expression sinister: "A human with a bone age of around twenty? My dear sister, do you take me for a three-year-old child?

The matter of the giant is of great importance.

If something goes wrong and you conceal it, not even ten lives would be enough to repay it."

Zi E still looked at him coldly.

She could understand his astonishment; even she could not believe that this journey from Zenith City to Linjiang City would have such an outcome.

Originally, she was responsible for Linjiang and the surrounding three cities.

With Zenith City broken, the other cities in Maple Leaf County were like eggs at the brink of collapse.

However.

They encountered a massive defeat at the very first city.

Who could have thought.

A simple Linjiang City would have someone capable of repelling the sea giant's assault, and it was a young human male.

If it had been a Tier Two Grandmaster or an Extraordinary touching the threshold of a Demigod.

She would have understood why the giant could be stopped.

But being stopped by someone like this, she really found it hard to accept.

Seeing Zi E's expression, Zi Luo knew this matter was likely true, and couldn't help but ask, "How did the opponent affect the sea giant?"

"It should be a magical item, or perhaps something unusual about him himself.

At the time the sea giant approached him, the primordial will sealed within its body suddenly began to stir; if I hadn't left quickly, the giant would have lost control directly.

By the way.

The opponent can control a Legendary Ship.

According to the classification of human martial artists, to maneuver a Legendary Ship, one should be at least a Tier Five Martial Artist or above.

But he now seems to be only in the Tier Seven to Six range."

Zi E stated.

Silence enveloped the water prison.

Zi Luo pondered for a long time before slowly saying: "The opponent absolutely cannot be a simple human; it's very likely he's one of those pseudo-gods of the human race who have reincarnated, these old monsters have been cultivating for who knows how many years.

But their paths have come to an end.

They cannot ignite the Divine Fire.

In their lifetime, they cannot take that step of transformation.

As their life's end approaches, they naturally seek ways to prolong their lives, and reincarnation to rebuild is indeed a good approach."

Fear showed in Zi Luo's eyes.

A human race has another old monster reincarnating.

And it's clear this old monster had more arrangements before reincarnation, otherwise, how could an ordinary martial artist get hold of a Legendary Ship?

"Rebuilding through reincarnation?"

Zi E had a trace of doubt: "What about his True Martial Intent? Can someone really abandon their body and survive on spirit alone?"

To the Demon Race, which venerates the physical body and indulges desires.

Zi E truly couldn't believe someone could live apart from their physical form.

"Who told you he's apart from his body?

This old monster should have directly transformed into a seed of Blood Qi, burrowing into an embryo to regrow a body suitable for him, practicing from infancy onwards."

Zi Luo spoke firmly.

The more he analyzed, the more he felt he grasped the truth.

"Abandon everything and start anew?

Such a giant in rebuilding reincarnation must be a master at the peak of the human race, would he really be willing to do so?"

Zi E still couldn't believe it.

"Hmph, such monsters, who have lived for countless ages, have top-notch resolve, courage, and vision; what can't they accomplish?

I ask you.

Does the demigod physique of the giant itself have a polluting effect on him?

Any martial artist who nears the giant will be affected, even a Grandmaster cannot avoid it!"

Recalling the scene from back then, Zi E did remember.

Indeed.

The opponent stood on the deck of the Legendary Ship, facing the giant directly at close range, showing no signs of discomfort.

"None..."

Zi E shook her head.

"Then that confirms it; the opponent is clearly one of those old monsters, just don't know who. This matter must be reported to the higher-ups."

Zi Luo's gaze was icy.

This matter is not simple.

Though the giant's seal was damaged, a powerful figure of the human race has also been exposed, so this isn't a total loss.

Next.

They must focus on this "powerful figure."

At minimum, gather his information, so they'll have an understanding when they encounter him in the future.

Abandoning everything to rebuild.

Though he might go further.

If not grown, it's all just talk.

At most, he'll just have more means, and be harder to kill.

If planned well, it's not impossible to eliminate him, after all, this is his weakest moment.

"Immediately investigate his information and send it to Wumian Mansion."

Zi Luo made a decision in his heart.

...

Maple Leaf County, Luosen Defense Line.

This was the large defense fortification built originally to resist the Mist Deceit Forest, usually jointly garrisoned by armies of the three counties.

At this moment.

A giant steamship anchored above the Luosen Defense Line.

A man in royal robes stood on the deck, using a special telescope to observe the direction of Zenith City.

Though this steamship was massive, it lacked Erza's imposing presence and dignity.

It seemed way weaker in momentum.

Compared to "Cai," it was worlds apart.

Yet evidently, this was also a Legendary Ship, albeit on a smaller scale.

"Eldest Prince, the signal flare has been fired, and reinforcements from Hidden Star County and Celestial Tiger County have also arrived on the outskirts of the Luosen Defense Line.

Just awaiting your command.

We can advance a mighty army to annihilate the exotic races.

At that time, with inside and outside coordination from within Zenith City, we can completely obliterate the Demon Race!"

Beside the deck.

An elder respectfully said.

On the deck.

The burly man, dressed in luxurious clothes and bearing a resemblance to the Third Prince, nodded, biting into an apple:

"Our goal this time is to pacify a county of Exotic Beasts.

Not only on the ground but also in the Shelter.

Any Exotic Beasts and races, kill without mercy.

The Northern King once could pacify a county, ensuring no demonic disasters.

Today.

I, Shangguan Hong, will restore the majesty of the Northern King's past."

Crunch.

The apple core fell to the ground.

The Eldest Prince raised his arm.

Below.

The martial artist army, equipped entirely with alloy weapons, shouted loudly.

Royal benevolence is vast.

Its might is unstoppable.

The Eldest Prince smiled contently.

His faction among the princes was the strongest, even his mother's family's influence was considerably vast.

Only he.

Could mobilize such a massive army among the three counties.

Clatter, clatter.

The mighty army began to advance towards Zenith City.

Magic artillery regiment, mecha legion, martial artist legion, extraordinary guards... it was arguably Zenith City's most luxurious army yet.

Along with various large-scale destructive weapons.

And a Legendary Ship, four Grandmasters.

Standing on the deck, Shangguan Hong was high-spirited, looking at the vast army below with a hint of pride.

He was originally meant to be the rightful royal.

However.

Lately, his third brother suddenly emerged, becoming a strong contender for the throne.

Last month, that brother somehow found a Divine Pill for extending life, prolonging their father's life.

Now he's in an awkward situation.

He must achieve a significant enough feat to overshadow his third brother.
