Protect Our Patriarch

Book 4: Chapter 43: Harvest! Wang's Clan's twin sisters rise as great prodigies

……

Afterward, aside from Wang Shouzhe, everyone else also passed the enlistment assessment under the supervision of the Spirit Artifact and was required to take the graduation test within a year.

As for Zongchang, he naturally had to take a makeup exam.

In the arena, he faced a demon puppet with the strength of about the fourth level of the Celestial Realm.

Zongchang's aptitude was only at the level of a prodigy, and his combat power couldn't compare to great prodigies like Wang Shouzhe and Liu Ruolan, making the battle exceptionally difficult.

However, he was still a prodigy, and his years of combat experience were quite rich. Using his Xunfeng bloodline and elusive techniques, he employed hit-and-run tactics and various cunning strategies, taking advantage of the demon puppet's lack of intelligence, and didn't suffer any losses.

Even so, it took him a whole day to barely pass the makeup exam.

The Spirit Artifact awarded him the token of a reserve elite soldier. Then, the Spirit Artifact procedurally allowed him to take the enlistment exam, which was much simpler than the makeup exam, seemingly like a loophole in the system.

During the peak of the Shenwu Royal Dynasty, it was indeed hard to imagine that it would take a full sixty-four years from the recruitment point to the new recruit training camp!

For young prodigies or great prodigies, sixty-four years was enough time for their strength to undergo earth-shattering changes.

Subsequently.

According to Fourth Uncle's request, Wang Zongchang temporarily declined the immediate graduation test, using the excuse of needing more training, and requested a short leave from the Spirit Artifact to leave the training camp and find a way to inform Zongwei and Liyao.

Meanwhile, he also needed to ask other family members if they wanted to join in the fun.

During this period.

Wang Shouzhe and the others lived in the new recruit training camp in an orderly manner.

Since they were already quasi-graduates, the Spirit Artifact didn't assign them any training tasks. They took the opportunity to explore every corner of the training camp they were allowed to visit.

With nothing else to do, they even cleaned and organized the training camp.

Being Celestial Realm cultivators, they worked at an impressive speed. In just over ten days, most of the camp was revitalized, with various trash and damaged items sorted and stored.

Wang Shouzhe also took the opportunity to make an inventory list. Although these items weren't yet the Wang Clan's, they would eventually belong to them, so he felt it was necessary to take stock and organize the assets of the training camp.

Unaware of Wang Shouzhe's "ambitious" intentions, the Spirit Artifact admired their proactive cleaning and maintenance of the camp, rewarding them with fifty military merit points each for the workload, plus an additional one hundred points each.

These military merit points were only usable within the fifth new recruit camp and could be exchanged with the Spirit Artifact for various supplies.

Items suitable for Lingtai Realm cultivation, special combat techniques, weapons, small spirit treasures, Primary Bloodline Improvement Elixirs, Lingtai Realm combat or guardian puppets, and more were available for exchange.

The "Primary Bloodline Improvement Elixir" was priced at only three hundred military merit points.

The Bloodthirsty Vine Spirit Seed Wang Shouzhe had obtained earlier, though not as cheap, was worth two thousand military merit points.

This left Wang Shouzhe and the others feeling regretful.

If the Spirit Artifact allowed them, as "quasi-graduates," to refresh the recruit missions, they might have brought back many good things for the clan's children with their efficiency.

But for now, they could only wait until the path was completely cleared and then do it themselves.

During this time, Wang Anye was the most miserable.

He was constantly watched by the Spirit Artifact, learning various basic cultural knowledge, including basic mathematics, basic physics, basic biology, basic chemistry, biochemistry, astronomy, geography, and even demon language... The sheer number of subjects and the variety of topics were astonishing.

Although Wang Anye's age meant he was learning only the most basic parts, it was still enough to make him complain incessantly.

He now fully understood the pain of those underachievers in the Clan School. What were the teachers talking about? He was completely baffled!

But if he didn't learn, not only would the Spirit Artifact not let him off, but even his great-grandfather wouldn't spare him.

According to his great-grandfather Wang Shouzhe, this knowledge, though basic, was the foundation of all theoretical knowledge from the Shenwu Royal Dynasty period and was extremely important.

It was a rare opportunity to learn systematically, and he had to master this knowledge, compile it into books, and gradually digest it into the Wang Clan's own knowledge.

I, Wang Anye, am really having a hard time...

Fortunately, the Spirit Artifact was particularly gentle with Wang Anye, taking care of his emotions and rewarding him with some "trash" as long as he made a little effort in learning.

For the Wang Clan, Wang Anye was giving it his all!

In these quiet and peaceful days, time flew by.

In less than a month, Wang Liyao and Wang Zong'an arrived together.

In addition, Wang Luotong, Wang Shouyong, and Wang Shoulian also came with Zongchang. They didn't want to miss this opportunity and wanted to give it a try.

At that time, they were only at the warrior stage, without elite soldier qualifications. However, with their arrival, Wang Shouzhe also had some different ideas.

"Quasi-graduate elite soldier Wang Shouzhe, your family members are too many!" the Spirit Artifact warned. "According to the rules, each recruit can only have two family members visit at a time, with one family member accompanying the army."

"Spirit Artifact Young Lady, those two are reserve elite soldiers who came immediately upon receiving the notification," Wang Shouzhe patiently explained. "The other three are the hidden gems of our family."

"Your family has too many hidden gems..."

"Alas, Spirit Artifact Young Lady, it's because our family is poor. Anye, Anye, come over and explain our family's situation to the young lady."

"Spirit Artifact Young Lady..." Wang Anye immediately put on his signature innocent expression.

A dozen breaths later, he had appeased the Spirit Artifact Young Lady.

"Alright, in that case, I'll give them a chance for a makeup exam," the Spirit Artifact Young Lady said helplessly. "Anyway, the difficulty of the makeup exam is increased, and if they pass, supplementing the elite soldiers doesn't violate the rules."

Wang Shouzhe was waiting for this moment and immediately said, "In that case, I would like to apply for the graduation test right away."

"But they need to take the makeup exam?" the Spirit Artifact said. "Why not wait until they finish the makeup exam..."

"I'm sorry, but I feel particularly good right now. I might even break the record of the fifth new recruit training camp," Wang Shouzhe interrupted.

"Such arrogance. Although I hope you can break the record, do you know who set the historical record for the graduation test of the fifth new recruit training camp?" the Spirit Artifact snorted, sounding a bit proud. "It was the renowned Commander of the Seventh Army of the Shenwu Army—Lord Wang Chuanwu. He is the pride of our training camp!"

"I know, Lord Wang Chuanwu ultimately reached the peak of the Lingxu Realm and participated in the graduation test after breaking through to the Celestial Realm at the age of twenty-five, enduring for an hour in the seventh stage, breaking the previous record, and leaving a glorious mark in the history of the fifth new recruit training camp," Wang Shouzhe said confidently. "Don't worry, this record is not a problem."

Wang Shouzhe had already gathered this information, and he was well aware of the contents and rewards of the graduation test, having planned and strategized multiple times.

That Lingxu Emperor was indeed formidable in his youth, but no matter how formidable, he took the graduation test at twenty-five. Wang Shouzhe was already ninety... naturally, he had a good chance.

Although he missed the opportunity to earn contributions in the training camp due to the "delay" of sixty-four years, it also created a better opportunity to reap benefits.

"Alright, since you are so confident, let's start the test immediately." Wang Shouzhe's application complied with the regulations, and the Spirit Artifact naturally didn't make things difficult for him.

Soon.

Everyone gathered at the training ground.

After some idle chatter, Wang Shouzhe's first opponent appeared, the familiar old companion—the demon puppet.

However, the starting point for the graduation test demon puppet was the peak of the Lingtai Realm.

It's no wonder that anyone who could enter the new recruit training camp was at least a prodigy. If they couldn't defeat a demon puppet at the peak of the Lingtai Realm after thirty years of cultivation, it wouldn't be surprising if they couldn't graduate.

But with Wang Shouzhe's tactical approach, it was naturally impossible to deal with it easily. After all, whether he fought quickly or slowly, the rewards were the same.

He used vines to bind the demon puppet and began to calmly plant his personal-use Witch's Long Hair No. 113, which was stronger, tougher, and grew faster than the public version.

However, it required Wang Shouzhe to cultivate it on the spot and couldn't be shared with the clan members.

There was also the fast-growing enhanced dragon fruit, which was Wang Shouzhe's current specialty.

After spending three days and nights, Wang Shouzhe filled the arena-style training ground with Witch's Long Hair and a considerable number of fast-growing enhanced dragon fruits. The well-maintained training ground was turned into a botanical garden by him.

Then, Wang Shouzhe spent a lot of time eating, drinking, meditating, and recovering his energy and profound energy before snapping his fingers to end the demon puppet's life with the Bloodthirsty Vine.

The Spirit Artifact was stunned. Such an operation? But no matter how much it thought, it couldn't figure out which rule Wang Shouzhe had violated.

"Congratulations, Wang Shouzhe, you have passed the graduation test and are approved to enter the ranks of junior officers in the army. Strive to become a qualified junior officer soon. You are awarded a [Intermediate Breakthrough Auxiliary Pill] and a graduation certificate from the Shenwu Army's Fifth New Recruit Training Camp," the Spirit Artifact asked. "Wang Shouzhe, are you prepared to continue to the next stage?"

While speaking, Wang Shouzhe had already received the Intermediate Breakthrough Auxiliary Pill.

The so-called "Intermediate Breakthrough Auxiliary Pill" was a term from the Shenwu Royal Dynasty, essentially a fifth-grade pill known as the [Ascension Pill], valued at around 300,000 top gold.

For the current Wang Clan, it was better than nothing.

"Proceed to the next stage," Wang Shouzhe said.

In the second stage, two demon puppets at the peak of the Lingtai Realm appeared.

Even though Wang Shouzhe had anticipated this, he couldn't help but complain when he saw the situation. The Holy Emperor who designed these stages was really lacking in creativity. At least change things up a bit~

In his previous life, if any game company or web novelist designed a dungeon so perfunctorily, they would definitely be criticized to the point of not daring to look at the comments section.

However, despite his complaints, Wang Shouzhe acted swiftly, easily dealing with them without needing to replant the Witch's Long Hair or fast-growing dragon fruit.

"Congratulations, Wang Shouzhe, you have cleared the second stage of the graduation test and earned the title of 'Outstanding Graduate.' You are awarded a 'Medium Bloodline Improvement Elixir,' and upon enlistment, you can directly serve as a junior officer with prospects for promotion."

A white light flashed, and the reward was in Wang Shouzhe's hands.

This time, the item was much better. Based on its effects and what he had gleaned from the Spirit Artifact, this treasure's bloodline enhancement effect was much stronger than the Wuji Baodan but lower than the Blood Gu King.

The only issue was that it required reaching the second level of bloodline awakening to use, and it was best used at the Lingtai Realm. Otherwise, it could cause physical damage and lead to uncontrollable consequences.

However, Wang Shouzhe could handle the Blood Gu King, so he wasn't afraid of the Medium Bloodline Improvement Elixir.

It's just that his bloodline had already awakened to the fifth level, so the effect of this "Medium Bloodline Improvement Elixir" was minimal. Using it would be a waste.

It was more suitable for cultivating children, like Anye, Anrui, or other potential children. For Wang Shouzhe, the more of this stuff, the better, as he had many children in his family.

The second stage aside.

The third stage soon began, and as expected, three demon puppets at the peak of the Lingtai Realm... Wang Shouzhe, unable to complain, easily dealt with them.

"Congratulations, Wang Shouzhe, you have cleared the third stage of the graduation test and earned the title of 'Elite Graduate.' You are awarded a standard spirit artifact, and upon enlistment, you will receive various benefits, with the potential to become a captain-level officer."

These routines were almost identical to those at the recruitment point.

However, Wang Shouzhe gradually got used to it.

Moreover, he had thoroughly investigated everything from the beginning, and that so-called standard spirit artifact was a rare top-grade spirit artifact in Daqian, with a starting auction price of at least 1.5 million top gold, and the actual transaction price rarely below 3 million. It was considered a very good item.

The entire Wang Clan currently had only three such items.

But Wang Shouzhe believed that after this wave, the clan's top-grade spirit artifacts would experience explosive growth. Among all spirit artifacts, shields were relatively expensive, so Wang Shouzhe chose a spirit artifact-grade shield.

According to Wang Shouzhe's habit, he usually named spirit artifacts once he obtained them. However, given the current situation, naming it would have to wait until later; for now, he needed to focus on the fourth stage.

The fourth stage.

Starting from this stage, the opponent was a Celestial Realm demon puppet.

Compared to the previous Lingtai Realm demon puppets, it was more robust, exuded a more domineering aura, and most notably, it had a pair of demonic membrane wings on its back, emitting a formidable presence.

However, dealing with an ordinary Celestial-level demon puppet posed no pressure for Wang Shouzhe, as its strength was roughly equivalent to a three-bloodline Celestial, while Wang Shouzhe was a great prodigy with a fifth-bloodline awakening.

This battle was still without suspense.

The Celestial Realm demon puppet merely destroyed some of the Witch's Long Hair vines and some fast-growing enhanced dragon fruits. Wang Shouzhe replanted what needed replanting, rested when necessary, and listened to the Spirit Artifact introduce the list of spoils.

"Congratulations, Wang Shouzhe, you have passed the fourth stage of the graduation test with excellent results. You can obtain a recommendation letter for the [Intermediate and Advanced Officer Training Academy] and take the exam at the academy. Once you pass the exam and are admitted, you can become a glorious provisional captain," the Spirit Artifact's voice sounded more solemn, and its attitude towards Wang Shouzhe had noticeably changed. "You can also choose a special treasure from the excellent reward list."

According to the Spirit Artifact's description, special treasures were items with unique functions, such as Wang Liyao's Mountain and River Seal, which could be refined in the soul for attack and defense, or stealth and concealment jade pendants or tools. To Wang Shouzhe's surprise, there was even a low-grade Xi Rang Bracelet.

Although this Xi Rang Bracelet was the lowest grade with limited space, it was entirely sufficient for storing an immobile life spirit plant.

Additionally, there was a high-quality combat puppet at the early Celestial Realm (combat power equivalent to a prodigy level) and a top-grade storage ring (Endless Abyss level).

However, although the items in this stage were good, none could enhance Wang Shouzhe's combat power. Those soul treasures, though powerful, required a long time to refine.

Combat puppets could also be purchased outside, and although not "high-quality," they were adequate. Moreover, the Spirit Artifact had previously stated that during the graduation test, unless one was a dedicated puppet master, using puppets in the assessment was prohibited.

On the other hand, the Xi Rang Bracelet and top-grade storage rings were challenging to acquire, especially the former, which was extremely difficult to obtain.

After a brief consideration, Wang Shouzhe followed his heart and chose the Xi Rang Bracelet.

As a Basalt cultivator who played with plants, he had long envied Lu Wei's Xi Rang Bracelet but had never been able to acquire one.

With this Xi Rang Bracelet, he could cultivate various plants anytime, anywhere, accelerating seed iteration. Most importantly, he could finally carry with him those battle plants like the Iron Python Vine, which required time to cultivate and were inconvenient to move.

Thus, Wang Shouzhe chose the Xi Rang Bracelet.

After a brief adjustment, Wang Shouzhe entered the fifth stage.

The fifth stage finally brought some change, no longer featuring two Celestial Realm demon puppets but introducing a new type of Celestial Realm demon puppet—the Qianluo Bone Demon.

Wang Shouzhe had a slight understanding of this type of demon, covered in an exoskeleton, unlike the previous common demon, and classified as a relatively rare mid-tier demon, with greater strength and defense, typically serving as a leader among demons.

Its combat power was roughly equivalent to a prodigy-level Celestial, much more challenging than the previous Celestial Realm demon.

However, with Wang Shouzhe's great prodigy status, dealing with a demon of this level was purely a matter of crushing. With little effort, Wang Shouzhe easily defeated it.

"Congratulations, Lord Wang Shouzhe, for passing the fifth stage of the graduation test." The Spirit Artifact's voice carried more respect, and even its wording became more respectful. "You have been granted a guaranteed admission to the [Intermediate and Advanced Officer Training Academy]. Upon enrollment, you will receive the title of 'Outstanding Provisional Captain,' and with good performance, you may become a provisional general in the future. Additionally, you have the right to choose a premium spirit artifact, but you need to exchange it with the standard spirit artifact."

Upon hearing the reward for this stage, Wang Shouzhe was slightly taken aback, not expecting that he would need to exchange the original spirit artifact. However, after some thought, he realized it was a good deal.

Quickly, he exchanged the "standard spirit artifact" shield obtained in the third stage for a "premium spirit artifact."

The reason was simple: the so-called "premium spirit artifact" from the Shenwu Royal Dynasty was known as a "supreme spirit artifact" in Daqian! This item was extremely rare in Daqian, and even in the Han Yue Immortal Dynasty, it was considered a very rare treasure, often in a state of having a price but no market. Generally, it could only be seen at some super-large auctions.

In any case, at Wang Shouzhe's current level, he had never seen a supreme spirit artifact at an auction.

However, he had heard that a supreme spirit artifact had once been auctioned for over ten million top gold.

A Celestial Realm cultivator with a supreme spirit artifact would experience a qualitative leap in strength, especially those prodigies and great prodigies at the late Celestial Realm. If they had a supreme spirit artifact, they could even contend with ordinary Purple Mansion Realm cultivators in short bursts.

Of course, its power couldn't compare to a Divine Spirit Artifact, as the price and level difference were significant.

However, since Celestial Realm cultivators couldn't fully utilize the power of a Divine Spirit Artifact, its actual effect wasn't much stronger than a supreme spirit artifact. Of course, a Divine Spirit Artifact could be used up to the Divine Realm, which a supreme spirit artifact couldn't match.

With the supreme treasure shield in hand.

Wang Shouzhe made some adjustments within the rules, first refining the supreme treasure shield to a barely usable level, then taking a good rest to recover his energy and blood.

Only then did he enter the sixth stage.

In the sixth stage, Wang Shouzhe dared not be as casual as before and became more serious.

This time, the opponent was an early Celestial Realm "Void Piercing Demon."

Wang Shouzhe had studied the demon bestiary and knew that the Void Piercing Demon was a high-level demon, roughly equivalent to a human great prodigy, with formidable combat power.

Upon closer inspection, the Void Piercing Demon was covered in an exoskeleton with a metallic sheen, had six thick spikes on its back, a menacing appearance, and a hunched back, indicating that its waist and lower limb strength were exceptionally strong.

Compared to the Qianluo Bone Demon, it further enhanced its strength and defense while possessing a small divine ability called "Void Piercing," which concentrated all its energy into the spikes for a powerful attack, making it very difficult to deal with.

However, as a great prodigy, Wang Shouzhe was already at the fifth level of the Celestial Realm, giving him a significant advantage over the Void Piercing Demon. Even for safety's sake, it only took him a stick of incense's time to defeat it with absolute superiority.

Of course, this was also because Wang Shouzhe had the advantage of age and cultivation; otherwise, if both were great prodigies at the early Celestial Realm, he wouldn't have won so easily.

"Congratulations, Lord Wang Shouzhe, for passing the sixth stage of the graduation test." The Spirit Artifact's voice carried a sense of awe, and its attitude towards Wang Shouzhe had completely changed. "I didn't expect you to achieve such good results. The [Intermediate and Advanced Officer Training Academy] will warmly welcome you to enroll and grant you the provisional general qualification with corresponding benefits. Additionally, the reward you can choose is..."

Then, the Spirit Artifact listed the reward options.

Even though Wang Shouzhe had some understanding, he was still pleasantly surprised.

The rewards were simply too generous. The first part of the list consisted mainly of spiritual beast pet eggs, all with pure bloodlines and potential reaching the ninth rank, such as dragon eggs and phoenix eggs...

However, even with ninth-rank potential, they still needed to be raised, and even reaching the seventh rank required enormous financial, material, and time investment, let alone the ninth rank.

Additionally, there were spiritual plant seeds on the reward list, all with extraordinary potential, such as the Longevity Tree spirit seed, prominently featured on the list.

Of course, other spiritual plants were also excellent, all of the same potential level.

While Wang Shouzhe was tempted, his main focus was on the "Advanced Bloodline Improvement Elixir" in the reward list.

This item was not something commonly found even in the Shenwu Royal Dynasty.

Most importantly, according to the information Wang Anye had gathered from the Spirit Artifact, this item would have a significant effect even on a great prodigy like Wang Shouzhe with a fifth-level bloodline at the Celestial Realm.

"Choose the Advanced Bloodline Improvement Elixir," Wang Shouzhe said with a hint of excitement.

However, after he actually obtained the "Advanced Bloodline Improvement Elixir," he quickly calmed down.

Using it directly would certainly be effective, but it wouldn't be beneficial to the overall situation. It would be better to...

He immediately reported to the Spirit Artifact, "Spirit Artifact, I need some rest to adjust my state before continuing to challenge the seventh stage."

"Yes, esteemed Lord Wang Shouzhe. The seventh stage features an early Celestial Realm great demon, with potential equivalent to our human innate spirit body, capable of advancing to the Lingxu Realm, making it extremely difficult to deal with. Even Lord Wang Chuanwu only lasted an hour before unfortunately losing," the Spirit Artifact respectfully provided information. "According to the rules, you have a month to rest, and I hope you achieve good results then."

"Thank you, Spirit Artifact Young Lady," Wang Shouzhe politely cupped his hands.

Then, he handed the Advanced Bloodline Improvement Elixir to Wang Zong'an, instructing, "Zong'an, use it and then start the graduation test, clearing up to the sixth stage."

"Yes, Father."

Wang Zong'an obediently returned to the barracks and consumed the elixir.

A day later, he emerged with significantly improved bloodline aptitude, advancing from the lowest great prodigy Ding level to the Bing level and beyond!

Don't underestimate this small stage improvement. At their level of aptitude, each small stage improvement was already challenging. With a stronger bloodline, his strength also saw a considerable increase.

Then, following his father's instructions, Wang Zong'an proceeded through the graduation test and, unsurprisingly, cleared the sixth stage.

Similarly, in the sixth stage, he obtained an Advanced Bloodline Improvement Elixir and handed it, along with a top-grade insect flute obtained in the fifth stage, to Wang Luojing.

Wang Luojing's bloodline level was already at the prodigy Yi level, nearing the Jia level. The Advanced Bloodline Improvement Elixir had a much stronger effect on a prodigy like her than on a great prodigy like Zong'an.

After all, a Celestial Realm prodigy's bloodline was only awakened to the fourth level, while a great prodigy's was at the fifth level, so the effect naturally differed significantly.

With one Advanced Bloodline Improvement Elixir, her bloodline aptitude smoothly soared to the mid-stage of the great prodigy Ding level.

She didn't have time to be excited, and after briefly refining the top-grade spirit artifact insect flute, she hurriedly began the entrance-graduation exam.

In terms of combat experience and willpower, Wang Luojing was actually superior to Wang Zong'an. After all, she had trained in the academy, taken on various combat missions, and even ventured to the outer region battlefield.

Previously, what she lacked compared to Wang Zong'an was only bloodline aptitude.

But now, with her bloodline aptitude reaching the great prodigy level, she became utterly fierce.

From the first to the fifth stage, she swept through them, with only the sixth stage's Void Piercing Demon causing her some trouble.

Ultimately, she relied on her years of accumulated combat experience and excellent equipment to successfully defeat the Void Piercing Demon.

Next, she continued the previous routine, handing a pair of top-grade spirit artifact gloves and an Advanced Bloodline Improvement Elixir to Wang Luo Qiu: "Luo Qiu, don't lose! Otherwise, the relay race will fail!"

"Hmph!"

Wang Luo Qiu crossed her arms, looking proud, not even bothering to respond to Wang Luojing.

After refining the gloves and successfully enhancing her bloodline aptitude to the great prodigy level, Wang Luo Qiu displayed one of the Holy Land's nine veins' inherited techniques, the [True Method of the Glazed King].Unlike Wang Lici, who seemed to be just passing the time with her cultivation, she was genuinely dedicated to mastering this supreme skill.

Immediately, her skin took on a glazed hue, exuding a fierce aura as if a mighty king had descended, radiating an imposing presence. Her every punch and kick were powerful and expansive, carrying an invincible momentum that seemed to sweep through the contemporary era!

In terms of sheer attack power, she was significantly stronger than Wang Luojing, naturally sweeping through without pause, effortlessly conquering the first six levels.

Afterward, she returned a vial of high-grade bloodline enhancement elixir to Wang Shouzhe and handed over a top-tier bell-shaped defensive magic treasure, as specified by Wang Zong'an, into his hands.

With that, the first small cycle of "shearing the sheep" was complete.

In this cycle, everyone received the prize they desired, gaining tremendous rewards, and no one owed anyone any rewards or opportunities.

Of course, the biggest beneficiaries were Wang Luojing and Wang Luo Qiu.

Not only did they manage to "shear" quite a bit, but they also completed the transformation of their bloodline aptitude, elevating it to the level of a great prodigy.

This fulfilled a long-held wish of theirs and added two more great prodigies to the Wang Clan.

The family's foundation surged once again.

But for Wang Shouzhe, the operation to "shear" the new recruit camp had just begun. What came before was merely child's play; the real genius maneuver was yet to come.

This time, if he didn't completely "shear" the Shenwu Army's new recruit camp, he wouldn't be Wang Shouzhe!
