Hum!

Because of the urgent situation, Hua Rong wasn’t welcomed properly after his arrival even though he was a Perfect and famous hero.

The next offering was already activated in the Temple of Providence. It was the Superior Black Cloud Golden Armor Air that Bao Daoyi dropped after Ji Ye killed him!

Hum!

Similar to the Invisible Bow, the test battlefield that the Black Cloud Golden Armor Air presented after being activated was a replay of the previous battlefield too.

“Why is it dark?”

“What’s happening here? Is this a dark forest?”

“I can’t see anybody here!”

It was exactly the scene where Ji Ye stepped into the trap that Bao Daoyi prepared in advance when he chased Fang La.

Because the forest had been covered in the black fog, most female players and natives in the temple couldn’t see the face of the person receiving the test at all.

“His Majesty has foreseen that you will chase him to this place. Today, I’m going to get back at you for my severed arm!”

Fortunately, his voice was still audible.

“Huh, wait. You’re not him… Who are you? Why did you come to my Black Cloud Dark Wood Array?”

Bao Daoyi squeaked like a rat; his voice full of anger and confusion.

“The Black Cloud Dark Wood Array?”

A reassuring voice sounded in the middle of the fog.

“The Dark Wood carries negative energy. So, this array cannot be exposed to the sun and must be covered by a black fog. Cloud is generated from water, and water gives birth to wood. This array must have the function of transformation. The core of the array must be in the north!

“Well, this hour of the day belongs to Fire in the Five Elements. Fire can vaporize water, and gold suppresses wood… I can destroy the array with flames and metal weapons!”

After the declaration was made, furious flames arose from the black smoke and quickly cleared the whole forest, making it impossible for the black smoke to be attached to the pine trees. Naturally, it couldn’t transform them into tough Wood Warriors again.

At the center of the raging flames was a middle-aged man with a blurred face. He wore a Daoist robe and a buckskin hat and carried two blades on his back!

He was dressed both like a Daoist and a swordsman.

The middle-aged man looked at Bao Daoyi, who was in the north, and murmured, “Just as I expected!”

Then, he wasted no time talking. Unsheathing the sabers on his back, he then slashed them at Bao Daoyi.

“You… Primordial Chaos Sword!”

Bao Daoyi was already shocked that his array was broken. He was even more frightened when the middle-aged Daoist jumped at him with two swords. He hurriedly activated the long-prepared Black Sky Primordial Chaos Sword and attacked him.

However, unlike what happened to Ji Ye, the Black Sky Primordial Chaos Sword was suppressed by some hidden power of providence in the test battlefield and didn’t fly out immediately.

Pew!

In a battle between two top experts, it was already fatal enough.

“I don’t accept it! Why can you…”

A dry and slim head flew to the sky. At the last moment before his death, Bao Daoyi realized the significance of the Land of Inheritance as Pang Wanchun did, and his rat eyes were filled with fury.

Hum!

After Bao Daoyi died, the raging flames died out, and the black smoke roiled again intensely.

However, it didn’t launch an attack. Instead, it was fully melted into the middle-aged man who wore the Daoist robe and carried two sabers, making him look a lot stronger.

Then, the fuzziness on the middle-aged man’s face was gone, revealing a face that had a short beard, bright eyes, and red cheeks.

[Zhu Wu]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-8]

[Rarity: Commander]

[Description:

[Title: Earthly Leading Star.

[Nickname: Resourceful Advisor.

[He’s an advisor on Liangshan and is responsible for justice. He’s good at battle arrays and Daoist skills.]

On Liangshan, there were altogether four people who were superior to the Five Tigers, namely Song Jiang, Lu Junyi, Wu Yong, and Gongsun Sheng.

However, technically speaking, Gongsun Sheng was simply an expert who would take care of the tough enemies, and it was Zhu Wu, who was at the top of all the Earthly Fiends, that really made suggestions to the leader as an advisor.

It was safe to say that Zhu Wu made more contributions to Liangshan than ninety percent of Heavenly Stars did.

It was also why Zhu Wu, as an Earthly Fiend, had arrived via a Superior offering like what Yang Zhi, Zhang Qing, and Qin Ming did and passed the test as easily as they did.

It was worth mentioning that Zhu Wu’s title was Earthly Leading Star, and Song Jiang’s was Heavenly Leading Star.

However, it didn’t mean that Zhu Wu and Song Jiang were close. It was only because they were respectively at the top of the Heavenly Stars and the Earthly Fiends.

In fact, the two advisors on Liangshan were in two factions. Wu Yong, the primary advisor, was naturally loyal to Song Jiang, and Zhu Wu, as the secondary advisor, was closer to Lu Junyi and Gongsun Sheng.

Whenever Liangshan sent different troops to different battles, he had always followed Lu Junyi and made plans for him. They were a great team and trusted each other. After they fulfilled their destination, Zhu Wu followed Gongsun Sheng to cultivate exactly as Qiao Daoqing did.

Regarding the Resourceful Advisor, Ji Ye, who was outside of the battlefield, thought of something else.

Since Wu Yong sensed the problem with Song Jiang’s talent and didn’t go to “Brother Gongming1, Zhu Wu might have realized it too and chose the Twin Dragon Island where Lu Junyi and Gongsun Sheng were at.

Of course, the Twin Dragon Island was probably the first choice for anyone from Liangshan. It was just that some people probably knew that they weren’t popular here. Or, maybe because there were too many top heroes on the Twin Dragon Island, so they went to other settlements!

The Twin Dragon Island naturally welcomed the Resourceful Advisor.

It was because he was not only a military advisor who was familiar with war but also good at martial arts. He even practiced Daoist skills after Gongsun Sheng.

Most importantly, he was best at battle arrays in Water Margin.

The power of battle arrays on the Land of Inheritance had been fully manifested in the Liao people’s Primordial Unity Chaos Phenomena Array. The strategic team of the Twin Dragon Island was still thinking of solutions to break the battle array.

“The Primordial Unity Chaos Phenomena Array of Liao?”

“This battle array is indeed extraordinary, but don’t worry, Ms. Su. While I’m not very capable, I do know a thing or two about how to crack the Primordial Unity Chaos Phenomena Array.”

Zhu Wu nodded confidently.

As the Resourceful Advisor, he could see solutions to 99% of battle arrays with his talent. This Primordial Unity Chaos Phenomena Array was supposedly beyond his limits, but because he arrived with the memories of the future and knew the solution that the Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens taught, it was no longer a problem at all!

In particular, most people who could crack the array were already at the Twin Dragon Island. Those who didn’t could be replaced by Commanders who were even stronger.

“I only need General Hua and Mr. Lu to work with him. Then, ask Chief Lu, Chief Wu, and Chief Yang to work with us from inside the city. We can destroy this array today.”

…

When Zhu Wu mentioned Lu Junyi’s name on the Dragon Peak, Lu Junyi and Wang Qing were having the most heated battle on the Eagle Peak.

After inviting himself to help him, Lu Junyi officially reached Extraordinary Rank-9, and there was no more gap between him and Wang Qing. His mount, his armor, and his stick were all transformed from the power of stars and much more resistant to Dragon Aura than the previous transformative armor!

Therefore, he could fully carry out his world-famous stick technique without showing any sign of losing.

“Roar!”

The two people, who were enshrouded in two divine beasts, fought on the Eagle Peak so hard that an earthquake was going on.

Boom, boom, boom!

The extraordinary power released by the Purple Wood Stick was more than thirty meters long, and its smash could affect half of the peak. The golden power from the Coiling Dragon Rod almost penetrated through the peak.

Because the impact in the battle was too powerful, some of the stones that were knocked away by them even collapsed on the Dragon Peak that was more than a kilometer away.

For example, a stone the size of a head just smashed at the Temple of Providence. It was shattered by the Black Sky Primordial Chaos Sword before it could hit the target.

It must be admitted that Ninth Uncle was undoubtedly the best support on the Twin Dragon Island.

He was merely at the peak of Extraordinary Rank-8, yet he could endow Lu Junyi with the power to resist the Transcendent Dragon Aura by god summoning.

Therefore, a question inevitably occurred to Ji Ye.

Was Ninth Uncle really just a Superior hero?

In fact, Ji Ye had had his doubts since a long time ago. Ninth Uncle was indeed not strong.

In terms of expertise in skills, he was not nearly as good as Qiao Daoqing or Gongsun Sheng who could ride the clouds or turn wood into warriors.

However, the quality of heroes on the Land of Inheritance was not absolutely proportionate to their battle strength, which mostly depended on their own deeds and abilities.

For the people of Chidragon, whenever Ninth Uncle showed up in a movie, whether he was the protagonist or a side character, everybody would instantly be freed from the fear of zombies and monsters, because no matter how terrifying those monsters were, they would be killed by Ninth Uncle in the end, even though Ninth Uncle’s unreliable disciples might cause him unnecessary trouble in the process.

From that point of view, Ninth Uncle shouldn’t just be Superior. He should at least be Perfect!

He had probably chosen to arrive at the Ren Hamlet to protect the villagers by lowering his level. Then, his level lowered again after he died in the Ren Hamlet. So, the Twin Dragon Island had welcomed the Perfect hero with only an Excellent offering.

Speaking of Perfect heroes, after Zhu Wu arrived, the next offering that glittered in the Temple of Providence was the Perfect Holy Fire Faith Crystal that Fang La dropped with high requirements.
