Chapter 866: A martial artist versus an immortal
cultivator Upon hearing what Jie Liancheng said, Zhou Xu's first reaction was "The power of truth!"
He already knew that the greenskins had a 'WAAAGH!!! force field', so it was not impossible that the power of the mantra was strong enough to be visible to the naked eye.
With this thought in mind, Zhou Xu looked at Shi Lei standing aside.
"Has this happened to other greenskins?"
"No."
Shi Lei gave a very straightforward answer. Apparently, he had already discussed this issue with Jie Liancheng before.
"After discussing this situation with Colonel Jie, I have come to two conclusions."
"First, it is possible that the opponent's mantra is powerful enough to produce such an effect."
"The second is that the other party may possess some other special powers."
At this point, Shi Lei seemed to want to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.
Seeing this, Xie Liancheng, who was standing by, added a sentence very quickly.
"For example, fighting spirit and true spirit or something like that."
Zhou Xu was speechless. Jie Liancheng must have read a lot of novels before.
However, you can't say that his speculation is completely unreasonable.
After all, Jie Liancheng's strength is there for everyone to see. To be able to force him to that point, the other party must either be a top five-star general or have some special means.
From Zhou Xu's perspective, whether it is fighting spirit or true qi, it is just a concept.
Simply put, as long as you have developed energy in your body and can use this energy to fight, it can be understood as something similar to fighting spirit or true energy. If you use another term, the same applies.
Or even more simply, you can understand the power of mantras as something similar to fighting qi or true qi, which also makes perfect sense.
[This is a magical world. If there is the power of truth, then it is normal for there to be other powers.]
[But in this case, we have to be careful. To put it bluntly, the old commentator is just a martial artist, but he is a cultivator. If we fight, the risk is too great.]
As his thoughts raced, Zhou Xu told Jie Liancheng about his ideas.
Although Shi Lei beside him didn't understand what was going on with cultivating immortals and practicing martial arts, Jie Liancheng understood it very easily.
Xie Liancheng was confident in his martial arts, but when he met a cultivator, there was no point in talking.
"Then how about trying to contact that Woking Copperforge?"
Shi Lei didn't understand anything about cultivating immortals, but he could see that there was too much unknown information for their Great Zhou.
If I want to get the answer, the easiest way is probably to find an opportunity to contact Woking Copperfurnace and see if I can ask him the answer.
In response, Zhou Xu shook his head.
"Not for now. The most urgent task right now is to stabilize the internal development of our Great Zhou and enhance our military strength. The forces living on the rock wall are just busy dealing with the greenskins, but that doesn't mean they have good intentions towards us."
"We must first have enough strength to sit at the same table with the other party to negotiate. Rash contact may not be a good thing."
As they were talking, the carriage had already arrived at the military camp.
"By the way, I asked the transport team to deliver the big bone and the second bone. Did they deliver them smoothly?"
"Your Majesty, it has been delivered successfully and is now stored in the warehouse of the military camp."
"Let's go and take a look first."
"Your Majesty, please come this way."
Shi Lei hurriedly led the way.
After entering the warehouse and lifting the sackcloth covering the big and two bones, the two huge skeletons immediately came into Zhou Xu's sight.
Zhou Xu couldn't help but reveal a trace of emotion on his face as his fingertips gently ran across the cracks that had covered almost the entire skeleton.
"The Big Bone and the Second Bone have been through too many battles. Although they have been pieced together again and again through the power of the Skeleton Beast Soldiers' mantras, their strength has obviously decreased. You should be a little more careful when you use them in the future."
Needless to say, Zhou Xu sent the big bone and the second bone here in order to increase the defensive power of the fortress here.
When the greenskins attacked the city, if Da Gu and Er Gu were there, the whole situation would definitely have changed.
"That's perfect. I will now directly grant you the mantra of 'Skeleton Beast Soldier Control'."
Shi Lei had known for a long time that His Majesty would come to inspect the situation this time and would give him the truth, but he did not expect that His Majesty would say it so suddenly.
This really caught him off guard, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel excited.
"Thank you for your gift, Your Majesty!!"
While he was speaking, the ball of light representing the truth had already condensed on Zhou Xu's fingertips.
"Take it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xu's fingertips touched Shi Lei's brow directly.
Giving truth to others has always been a tiring job, and it consumes a lot of energy.
Generally, the more powerful the mantra, the more energy it consumes to bestow.
However, Zhou Xu is now a completely different person. His spiritual star level has reached four stars, and the power of the mantra in his body has become increasingly powerful. He is not drained by a mantra.
At the same time it is worth mentioning here that the mantra he bestows is not the same as the real mantra.
The real mantra can be freely combined and used by the host, but the bestowed mantra can only be used in fixed combination routines.
Simply put, since Zhou Xu has already given Shi Lei the ability to control skeleton soldiers, if he wants Shi Lei to have the ability to control skeleton beast soldiers, he must give him the ability to control skeleton beast soldiers, rather than just the mantra of the word "beast".
These mantras are bound in groups, and this is the limitation of 'granting'.
However, before he could copy his own "programs" at will for others to use like those "programming masters", "granting" allowed him to first gain the ability to share his mantras with others for use.
In other words, as long as he is given enough time, he can use one mantra on countless people.
Compared to this advantage, what does that limitation matter? Looking at Shi Lei with excitement, Zhou Xu smiled slightly.
"Don't worry. Considering that you are now the commander-in-chief of the New North District, you will need to deal with any emergencies in a timely manner. I will grant you another mantra, the Eye of Peering into Secrets!"
"The effect of 'Eye of Peering' is more powerful than 'Eye of Insight'. It allows you to see through secrets and obtain deeper information about the target."
Zhou Xu had undoubtedly thought carefully before bestowing the 'Eye of Peering into Mysteries' on Shi Lei.
In addition to the above reason, it is also because Shi Lei's loyalty to him has now reached ninety points.
You know, Xie Liancheng, his childhood best friend, has a loyalty level of ninety-three points to him. From this point, it is not difficult to see that ninety points is already a very high number.
According to Zhou Xu's personal judgment, those with a loyalty level of more than 70 points are considered good citizens, those with a loyalty level of more than 80 points are considered loyal ministers, and those with a loyalty level of more than 90 points are basically at the level of loyal and confidant followers.
This is also the biggest reason why Zhou Xu can confidently give the "Eye of Secrets" to Shi Lei.
