Chapter 372: Chapter 24: Is His Speed of Achieving Military Exploits Reasonable?_3

"Zhao Xing has come out of seclusion," King Heavenly Destiny smiled and said, "and he achieved over eighty thousand battle merits in just one day. He has now entered the top five thousand on the seventh-rank list."

"..." Luo Hou King was speechless.

The matter King Heavenly Destiny was happy about only concerned himself.

However, Luo Hou wasn’t angry. He had a good relationship with King Heavenly Destiny, and this interruption had diluted the unpleasantness he had felt earlier at Prince Liang’s place.

"Zhao Xing came out of seclusion after such a long time and achieved over eighty thousand battle merits in one day?" Luo Hou King asked, "How did he do that? It’s impossible for a seventh-rank Military Minister of Agriculture Officer to complete his monthly duties so quickly."

"According to the battle report, this kid and Long Xiao from the Divine Might Army discovered a group of Sha Clan people while on their way to a military town. The Sha Clan was about to launch a surprise attack on a Zhenhai Army supply city,"

King Lingde explained, "But instead, Zhao Xing and Long Xiao caught them off guard."

Luo Hou King waved his hand, and an Earth Mirror floated before him, quickly displaying Zhao Xing’s achievements.

Arrowfish Flying Boats have a similar recording function to Mirage Pearls.

Even outside the Great Zhou Territory, beyond the monitoring of the Military Realm, the methods for recording battle merits were still very thorough.

"Hmm? A fifth-rank Netherflame Warship hiding in the Gang Wind Layer, and he could actually detect the tail flame remnants left by the warship?" Luo Hou King looked at the Earth Mirror.

"After coming out of seclusion, his strength has more than just increased slightly compared to his time in Cloud City."

"Luck also played a part." King Heavenly Destiny said, "If he had been a quarter-hour later, no matter how strong he is, it would have been impossible to detect the traces of the Netherflame Warship in the Gang Wind Layer."

"Luck is also a part of strength," Luo Hou King said, "There are three types of people in the world. The first type is mediocre; even when opportunities are right in front of them, they can’t seize them. With good luck, their lives don’t experience significant changes because they don’t even know how many opportunities they’ve missed. With bad luck, they face major setbacks."

"The second type is geniuses who immediately grasp opportunities when they come and create great situations."

"This Zhao Xing is the second type."

King Lingde smiled and said, "Luo Hou, what about the third type of people?"

Luo Hou King said, "The third type is peerless geniuses who can actively create opportunities even without any."

King Heavenly Destiny said, "Luo Hou, in the seventh-rank list, who can be considered peerless geniuses?"

Luo Hou King shook his head and said, "Among the seventh-rank, there isn’t a single one. However, the sixth-rank Lv Yuanwei can be considered a peerless genius."

"He achieved a million battle merits within twenty days. Given his pioneering route, it’s impossible for the Divine Thunder Army to have achieved such great results."

"The Golden Feather Royal Court withdrew quickly, and there aren’t many enemies in that direction."

"However, Lv Yuanwei led a small group across the Extreme Flame Desert, luring the Royal Family ’Hall’ of the Golden Feather Royal Court into pursuing him."

"As a result, Hall jumped into his ambush. Twenty thousand were killed, and even Hall didn’t escape."

King Lingde nodded, "Indeed, he killed Hall, not only achieving great merit but also disrupting the Golden Feather Royal Court’s plans."

"Going three thousand miles further is the Qinggang Crystal-rich mining area. Before they could even start mining, they were already threatened by Lv Yuanwei."

"Now the Golden Feather Royal Court is gathering their troops in that direction to try and delay Lv Yuanwei’s advance."

"The West County route originally had no opportunities for merit, but Lv Yuanwei managed to create a breakout. He surely has no shortage of heads to cut now."

King Heavenly Destiny said, "I was talking about the seventh rank, why did you bring up Lv Yuanwei? What about the Qi Yuan Army from Zhao Shi Cave Heaven, Pang Zheng, and the Yuanhua Cave Heaven’s Yi Rong? Aren’t they also peerless geniuses with impressive achievements?"

Luo Hou shook his head, "They are strong armies who simply seized opportunities. Though they are geniuses, they are not peerless geniuses."

"How do they compare to Zhao Xing?" King Lingde also joined the discussion.

"In terms of talent and strength, these people are naturally stronger," Luo Hou King said, "In terms of army strength, the Zhao Yuan Army and the Yuanhua Army are also stronger than the Divine Might Army."

"Zhao Xing staying in City No. 92 has few opportunities to earn battle merits."

"Unless he gets lucky and encounters these kinds of situations every time, and seizes every opportunity, then he might surpass those geniuses from strong armies."

King Heavenly Destiny also nodded. Although he bet on Zhao Xing being among the first to be ennobled, he agreed with Luo Hou King’s analysis.

"Not necessarily," King Lingde suddenly said, "look, this kid’s battle merits are increasing again."

"The Military Realm Earth Mirror just showed that two hours ago, he submitted a general task and earned five thousand battle merits."

"Now, two hours later, he submitted another task and earned another five thousand battle merits!"

Luo Hou King and King Heavenly Destiny looked at the Earth Mirror in surprise, and sure enough, Zhao Xing’s battle merits had risen to ninety-six thousand!

King Lingde was puzzled, "Isn’t it said that general tasks assigned to Military Ministers of Agriculture by the Military Realm are usually very difficult? Is this speed... reasonable?"
