Legendary Armament Canon

Chapter 50: Something’s Wrong

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Golden Bell Shield was cultivated both internally and externally, and it was the best defense in the world! It was divided into twelve levels. At level twelve, not only was the golden halo indestructible, but it would also make one immune to water, fire, and poison. One could even go on without sleep and rest and have endless energy!

All of the information regarding the Golden Bell Shield flashed through Zhou Shu’s mind. As soon as this information entered his mind, he broke through a barrier within his body.

At the first level of the Golden Bell Shield, all the meridians in his body were unobstructed, and his true qi circulated freely. If he received a blow, the pain would be reduced by half!

Zhou Shu’s Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique was already at the eighth level, and his meridians had long since been cleared.

The first level of the Golden Bell Shield was actually of little value to him.

But the Golden Bell Shield could only show its true prowess after cultivating to the sixth level. The first level could only be considered better than nothing.

This doesn’t seem right.

Zhou Shu gradually digested the information regarding the Golden Bell Shield in his mind. He was somewhat speechless.

First was the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique, then the Golden Bell Shield…?

Does the Legendary Armament Canon want to develop me in the direction of a meat shield?

The image of a muscular bald man who looked like a bronze statue of the Shaolin Monastery appeared in his mind, and he shuddered.

Something’s wrong. I want to become a swordsman with fluttering white clothes. Dugu Nine Swords, Flying Immortals… Any one of them would do.

While cursing silently, Zhou Shu saw Haitang quickly hide her daggers. “What are you doing?”

“Nothing, Superintendent Zhou. I saw that you were in a daze and thought that you were plotted against.” Haitang was composed, and her movements were natural.

If not for Zhou Shu’s exceptional five senses, he would have thought that he had seen wrongly.

His gaze roamed across Haitang’s body as he marveled inwardly.

I have no idea where she hid the two daggers. I can’t spot the slightest clue.

This girl doesn’t know how to cook or clean. I was wondering why Yin Wuyou sent her to my side. So she’s here to protect me!

If Zhou Shu didn’t know about the list, he probably wouldn’t have thought of this.

But he was the one who had personally handed over the name list of Great Xia’s geniuses to Cheng Wanli.

The Imperial Court must have taken action after obtaining the list.

The other elites all had large families and businesses, and there was no lack of people protecting them. Only he, a Forging Apprentice, didn’t have any backing.

There were definitely no experts around him to protect him.

Although the Forging Division’s workshops were relatively safe, there was no guarantee that there wouldn’t be spies of the other party lurking.

To others, Zhou Shu was only an apprentice who had comprehended a bit of saber intent. His martial strength was almost zero.

So Haitang was sent to be my bodyguard!

If not for the outburst earlier on, I wouldn’t have noticed her cultivation.

Zhou Shu’s own cultivation path was very different from this world’s. Therefore, he wasn’t very clear about the cultivation levels of the martial artists in this world.

For example, he knew that there were nine ranks of martial artists in this world, but he didn’t know how these nine ranks were divided.

Zhou Shu was unable to determine what rank Haitang’s cultivation was. But he was certain that her cultivation was inferior to his. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to see through her.

With your small body, it remains to be seen who is protecting who,?Zhou Shu thought.

Even so, he still felt warm inside.

In order to protect him, Yin Wuyou even sent someone close to her. This meant that he wasn’t abandoned. The Great Xia Imperial Court still remembered him.

Great Xia isn’t bad.

Zhou Shu originally didn’t have any sense of belonging to Great Xia. After all, he wasn’t a person of this world.

But now, his thoughts had changed slightly. The people of Great Xia were not bad.

“Superintendent Zhou, why were you in a daze just now?” Haitang asked. She knew that some high-ranked martial artists had strange magical powers and could directly attack people’s minds.

“It’s nothing. I just suddenly had some inspiration regarding weapons.” Zhou Shu found an excuse. “You’ll get used to it in the future. We’re geniuses, and that’s how it is. Inspiration often erupts.”

“Is it an epiphany?” Haitang said enviously.

“You can put it that way.” Zhou Shu nodded. “After this epiphany, I have a new idea about weapons. Perhaps I can forge a new weapon.

“I’m going to give it a try. Go out and stand guard. Don’t let anyone disturb me. Otherwise, if you interrupt my train of thought, the forging might fail.”

He deliberately made the consequences more serious.

In front of Haitang, Zhou Shu wouldn’t dare to unleash his full power. If Haitang saw how fast he forged, what would happen?

Zhou Shu didn’t forget the name list. He had already made his name on the list after revealing his talent for forging. His Martial Dao cultivation couldn’t be exposed!

Although he didn’t know what rank his current Martial Dao cultivation was, he was certain that he was definitely at the top of the younger generation.

As expected, when Haitang heard Zhou Shu say that he might fail if he was disturbed, her small face immediately became serious.

“I will guard the door. With me around, no one can enter!” Haitang said seriously.

“Yes, you must guard it well!” Zhou Shu nodded. “Whether or not I can develop a new weapon will depend on you.”

Haitang instantly felt as if a burden weighing a million pounds had suddenly fallen on her shoulders.

Zhou Shu entered the factory and locked Haitang outside.

The Horse Slaying Saber had completed a kill and achieved a breakthrough. Next, it was time to max out the number of Horse Slaying Sabers in the Legendary Armament Canon!

As long as the number of Horse Slaying Sabers became full, a new weapon would appear in the Legendary Armament Canon.

I wonder if the next weapon will be a ranked one.

…

The great general’s residence in the capital…

The elegant man who had killed the coachman with the saber stood in front of Great General Meng Bai respectfully.

“Have you settled it?” Meng Bai said calmly.

“Yes,” Mi Ziwen said respectfully. “I have disappointed you, Teacher.”

“I’d be disappointed if you weren’t sad at all.” Meng Bai shook his head. “Humans aren’t like grass or wood. How can we be emotionless? After all, you two have been together for more than ten years.”

“I should have realized his identity a long time ago, but I was unwilling to believe it the entire time. That’s why I ended up in such a state.” Mi Ziwen smiled bitterly.

“Your temperament is still not decisive enough,” Meng Bai said. “You will come with me on the expedition this time. If you still can’t change this bad habit, then in the future, it might be better if you devote yourself to books.”

Mi Ziwen’s face froze. He naturally understood what he was saying. To devote himself to books meant that he would no longer have to lead soldiers to war!

“I understand,” Mi Ziwen said seriously.

“That’s enough. There’s no need to put on such a straight face,” Meng Bai said. “Leading soldiers into battle isn’t a good thing either.

“Don’t stay at home and let your thoughts wander. Help me do something.”

“I await your instructions, Teacher,” Mi Ziwen said seriously.

“In this expedition, apart from the usual military supplies, I also asked the Forging Division to supply three thousand Huben Sabers, one thousand Hundred Refinements Ring Pommel Sabers, and five hundred Horse Slaying Sabers. I’ll leave these weapons to you. You can figure out how to play their greatest role on the battlefield.

“Now, go to the Forging Division and urge them to see if they’re finished.

“Also, pass the beginner martial arts secret manuals that I asked you to collect previously to the superintendent of the 0th Workshop.”

A strange look flashed across Mi Ziwen’s eyes.?I was wondering why Teacher asked me to collect beginner martial arts secret manuals.

From the looks of it, Teacher collected them for the superintendent of the 0th Workshop.

Who is the superintendent of the 0th Workshop? How could he trouble Teacher for such a small matter?

In the past, Teacher never cared about such things.

Mi Ziwen’s mind wandered. For a moment, he even thought that the other party might be his teacher’s illegitimate son.

If Meng Bai knew what was going on in this student’s head, he would probably directly expel him from his tutelage.

“I understand. Teacher, don’t worry. I will personally hand the secret manuals to your—”

Mi Ziwen had almost blurted out ‘your son’…

He quickly corrected himself. “I will personally hand over the secret manuals to the superintendent of the 0th Workshop.

“Teacher, do you have any message for him?”

“That’s it.” Meng Bai waved his hand.

He suddenly thought of something. “In addition, bring my name card to Divine Constable Bureau’s Ma Fengzhang and have him transfer a few experts from the Divine Constable Bureau to protect the superintendent of the 0th Workshop for a period of time.

“His name is on the assassination list, but he’s different from you people. He has just started learning martial arts and doesn’t have the ability to protect himself.

“The Country Protector Army isn’t strong enough, while the Demon Executing and Fiend Eradication armies are experts in killing but amateurs when it comes to protecting people. The Divine Constable Bureau is more experienced in this.”

Meng Bai said with a deep voice, “Tell Commander Ma that before Great Xia’s military parade, I do not wish to hear about anything happening to Zhou Shu.”

“Yes, Teacher!” Mi Ziwen replied. He was increasingly certain that Zhou Shu, the superintendent of the Forging Division’s 0th Workshop, had an extraordinary relationship with his teacher!

The assassination list is full of Great Xia’s elites. Why would a Forging Apprentice suddenly appear?

If he’s related to Teacher, it would explain his talent.

It would be strange if Teacher’s bloodline wasn’t that of a genius!

Mi Ziwen had already perfected the entire logic in his heart. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Zhou Shu was his teacher’s illegitimate son.

As for why his teacher didn’t acknowledge him, perhaps it was because of his own considerations.

Even though his teacher held a high position in Great Xia, since ancient times, there had been countless cases where one’s achievements caused jealousy from one’s master.

Although the current emperor was wise, who could guarantee what kind of personality the next emperor would have?

“Teacher, I have a few experts in my family. Should I send them to the 0th Workshop?” Mi Ziwen added.

“No need. The Divine Constable Bureau is enough.” Meng Bai shook his head. “You just have to take care of yourself. Don’t assume that the assassination will end just like that. Great Wei will not let you off.. You are in greater danger than him.”
