"Congratulations to the host for being treated as a fool for the first time in your life. You have received 800 breakthrough points…"
"Congratulations to the host for being treated as a fool for the second time in your life. You have obtained 600 breakthrough points…"
"Congratulations to the host for breaking through the Late-stage of the Five Viscera Refinement realm for the first time in your life. You have obtained 2,600 breakthrough points…"
… .
Which f*cking fool was this, to think that I'm a fool? He actually treated me biding my time to be a fool. To be honest, this meant that his 'Turtle Transformation Technique' was quite effective. He should be happy.
However, what made him feel helpless was that being treated as a fool would actually give him breakthrough points. Furthermore, there was so much of it. Did it have to be so exaggerated? Could the Extraordinary Encounters System give him less rewards?
Thinking of Zhu Zhishan and Zhu Haitao, who had just left, Zhu Wuyang thought that these two idiots must be the ones who thought of him as a fool. Little did he know that Zhu Wuyang had already seen through their thoughts.
Who are you calling a fool? You two are the fools!
"Congratulations to the host for being treated as a fool for the third time in your life. You have obtained 400 breakthrough points…"
This… The news began to spread again. Did Zhu Zhishan and Zhu Haitao help him promote the name of 'Fool' again? These two bastards were too shameless!
I worked hard to block the arrows for you, but this is how you treat me.
Zhu Wuyang was helpless. He was once again pushed to the ground by a large number of breakthrough points and ravaged to his heart's content.
Zhu Wuyang did not know that although he had guessed part of it correctly, the other part was wrong.
In the Imperial Palace of Jiu Zhao, Tai'an Hall, the residence of the 89th Prince, Zhu Libo.
Zhang Mingli came to Zhu Libo's study with a smile. Zhu Libo was reading here and had not entered seclusion to cultivate at all.
Seeing Zhu Libo, Zhang Mingli couldn't help but laugh.
"What made Mother so happy? Could it be that Mother's strength has increased again?" Zhu Libo asked curiously as he looked at Zhang Mingli, who could not close her mouth.
Zhang Mingli smiled and said, "I'm laughing at how stupid Zhu Wuyang is. He actually teared up from my words. He was so ashamed that he was about to crawl under the blanket."
"I really didn't expect this guy to be so simple and honest. He doesn't look like a member of the Royal Family at all. He doesn't have any schemes at all. No wonder he was pushed to be a scapegoat. Even if he dies, it won't be unjust."
"Mother, you went to see Zhu Wuyang today?" Zhu Libo frowned.
Zhang Mingli nodded. "If we don't comfort this guy, who knows if he will commit suicide again? We went through so much trouble to push him into the position of the Crown Prince because we wanted him to be our shield. He can't die so easily."
"Mother, we shouldn't be the ones to stand out." Zhu Libo sighed. "This will make us look bad. In order to survive, we even lost our basic reservations."
Zhang Mingli raised her eyebrows. "How can you speak to Mother like that? I'm doing this to maintain our relationship with Zhu Wuyang. After all, according to our previous positions, we're the closest people to Zhu Wuyang and his mother in the palace. If we don't even go and comfort that coward, what if he really commits suicide?"
"Not only did Mother go, but you also have to go and see Zhu Wuyang tomorrow. Persuade him more and reveal some of the Mad Emperor's thoughts appropriately so that he can calm down and stabilize his position as the Crown Prince to block the arrows for a while."
"This…" Zhu Libo hesitated.
Zhang Mingli snorted and said, "At this point, others will eventually say what needs to be said. The most important thing now is to appease that silly kid Zhu Wuyang. Don't let him ruin our plan."
"Alright, I understand." Zhu Libo smiled bitterly. "Mother, when you went to the Crown Prince Palace today, did you get the Xiantian guards to investigate Zhu Wuyang's strength?"
Zhang Mingli shook her head. "I didn't. Aren't there Wei Ancai and Little Fu'zi? They're paying attention to Zhu Wuyang every day. Once there's any movement with Zhu Wuyang's strength, they'll inform us immediately."
"But there are all kinds of secret techniques in the palace. Who knows if Zhu Wuyang was lucky enough to cultivate a special secret technique to hide his strength?" Zhu Libo's eyes flashed. "So for safety's sake, I still need to let the Xiantian realm guards investigate personally every once in a while to prevent Zhu Wuyang from deceiving us."
Zhang Mingli smiled. "With Zhu Wuyang's cowardly and silly appearance, how could he be so scheming? If he was really that powerful, he wouldn't have been pushed to the position of Crown Prince without any ability to resist."
"It's better to be safe than sorry." Zhu Libo smiled and said, "Although the chances are very small, it's not impossible. It's better to be safe. I'll go see Zhu Wuyang tomorrow and let the Xiantian realm guards investigate his strength."
Zhang Mingli said helplessly, "Alright, you're always so careful."
Although Zhu Wuyang knew that Zhu Libo would come tomorrow, he did not expect Zhu Libo to be so careful and even specially bring a Xiantian realm guard to investigate his strength.
Under such deliberate investigation, a Late-stage Xiantian expert would definitely be able to detect Zhu Wuyang's true strength. Even a Mid-stage Connate martial artist would have a good chance of detecting his true strength.
As one of the most powerful Princes of the Jiu Zhao Nation, Zhu Libo could easily mobilize Mid-stage or even Late-stage Xiantian Realm martial artists.
Another crisis was coming.
Once Zhu Libo discovered Zhu Wuyang's true strength, what awaited him would definitely not be a good outcome. He would probably be killed instantly.
However, Zhu Wuyang's strength was still increasing at this moment. The faster his strength increased, the harder it was for him to hide, and the easier it was for him to expose his true strength.
Fortunately, Zhu Wuyang's sense of danger was very strong. After absorbing this wave of breakthrough points, he used the remaining usable breakthrough points on the Azure Dragon Concealment Art. At the same time, he continued to cultivate the Azure Dragon Concealment Art and continuously increased the progress of the secret technique.
Zhu Zhishan and Zhu Haitao's arrival had provided Zhu Wuyang with many usable breakthrough points. After absorbing these usable breakthrough points, Zhu Wuyang's attainments in the Azure Dragon Secret Technique had soared greatly, and he was getting closer and closer to the Perfection stage.
In addition, Zhu Wuyang's talent was peerless, and his cultivation of the Azure Dragon Concealment Art had advanced by leaps and bounds. By tomorrow, he will be able to improve greatly again.
