Achieving the Dao from the Hundred Schools of Thought

"The method of fierce generals?"

A look of doubt flashed across Zhong Bai's face. He then took the spear from his heart fire and twirled it beautifully in the air.

"Brother-in-law, would you call this a fierce general?" As he spoke, he thrust his white spear forward, his eyes cold and his demeanor ruthless.

This Zhong Bai...

Zhuang Weiyang was unsure how to react, so she simply ignored him. With a thought, she unleashed two spells.

"Wind Technique! Momentum!"

With the fire of his heart surging, the magic immediately enveloped more than a thousand new recruits.

Zhuang Weiyang focused her mind, carefully comprehending the energy consumption of the two spells. "Not bad, the second-tier Wind Technique and the newly acquired 'Momentum' are already manageable in terms of energy consumption! It's just..."

These savages are in terrible physical condition! They can't even handle a second-level wind spell!

Zhuang Weiyang carefully calculated that these wild people could at most withstand 60% of the power of the second-level wind technique.

It can only outrun an ordinary horse!

"This is absolutely extraordinary!"

"Whatever! We can't expect these malnourished people to fight demons."

Zhuang Weiyang couldn't help but complain, and then mobilized the army, adding all the buffs to Zhong Bai.

In an instant, a gentle breeze, carrying with it a chilling aura, enveloped Zhong Bai.

Zhong Bai forcibly suppressed his instinct to dodge, letting the gentle breeze surround him.

"Brother-in-law, this..."

Zhong Bai's eyes lit up, and he took a step forward, creating an explosion sound in mid-air.

"Hahahaha! The Fierce General's Technique! It truly lives up to its name! With the combination of military tactics and the Art of War, my strength has increased by at least 70%!"

Military strategy is a fundamental tactic, and it is a favorite among some commanders leading troops.

Zhong Bai, on the other hand, preferred to charge into battle. The Lotus Formation unfolded, and the soldiers, like lotus petals, annihilated the enemy.

Therefore, Zhong Bai had not yet mastered the art of military strategy.

Moreover, this method of bestowing military power upon one person had not yet been developed. Experiencing this kind of blessing for the first time, Zhong Bai was extremely excited.

"Brother-in-law! I'm off!"

"Be careful, the spell is only effective within a radius of 100 miles!"

"knew!"

Zhong Bai kept flashing and leaping in mid-air, like a blue meteor crashing into the distance.

Only the savages remained, dressed in their newly donned armor, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Zhuang Weiyang gave a wry smile and said:

"I knew this kid would go out and have some fun... Oh well!"

"Arm your troops, assemble!"

Zhuang Weiyang had no choice but to reluctantly help Zhong Bai train the savage army first.

"The first thing a soldier must know is why they are fighting."

……

As the sun sets in the west, a long, human-shaped dragon stretches across the land.

The villagers, suppressing their fear, shakily carried more than a dozen demonic creatures on their backs.

Green snake, cheetah, wild boar...

Zhuang Weiyang looked disgusted and moved away from the blood-soaked man beside her.

"Zhong Bai, what are you doing? Why are you making yourself look like a butcher?"

The blood-soaked Zhong Bai grinned, revealing a patch of white against his reddish-brown face.

"Brother-in-law, I was just helping these savages fertilize their fields, didn't I? Did I make a mistake in killing a demon?"

Zhuang Weiyang remained expressionless, pointing to the spider at the very back, which was about ten feet wide:

"You're using this spider demon to fertilize your fields too?"

"Hehe, I'll use this to make medicinal wine when I get back!"

Zhuang Weiyang ignored him and continued to use her wind magic to help the army support the demon's body.

Before long, they passed through a valley, and the army turned into it in an orderly manner.

The valley here is about ten miles away from the boundary of Zuili Gongtian.

The area was lush with trees and rarely visited by humans; it was originally the dwelling place of a snake demon. In the past, the snake demon would guard the edge of the public fields, waiting for an opportunity to ambush the bird demons that came to peck at the rice.

Now, his body has been transformed into a highly nourishing substance, and his home has been designated by Zhang Zezhong as the "delivery location."

Zhong Bai found a stream, hastily washed his face a couple of times, and said:

"Brother Zezhong is too cautious. It's perfectly normal for me, Zhong Bai, to kill a few demons. Why do I have to hide from people?"

"Brother Bai, are you speaking ill of me again?"

Zhang Zezhong appeared out of nowhere and strode to Zhuang Weiyang's side.

"Brother Weiyang, Brother Bai, how is the situation?"

Zhuang Weiyang pointed behind her. "Look, it's all here!"

Looking back, Zhang Zezhong saw the corpses of more than a dozen monsters that had entered the valley, piled up inside.

Blood of various colors slowly seeped from the corpse—red, black, and dark green—like a child knocking over a paint box.

"This... Brother Bai is truly amazing! Hahaha, at this rate, we'll have enough demon blood in five more days!"

Zhang Zezhong was completely oblivious to the stench in the air, his eyes shining as he looked at the demonic figures scattered all over the ground.

"Good! Thank you for your hard work, Brother Bai. Go to the military camp and mobilize some more soldiers to transport these demon bodies to the temple in Ze County!"

All the officials in Zexian County, from top to bottom, were replaced by members of the Zhong family by Zhang Zezhong.

As for mortal spies? Political cultivators see through everything and would never allow spies to infiltrate!

After washing up, Zhong Bai's initial excitement faded, replaced by the exhaustion from the series of battles.

Leaning against a large tree, Zhong Bai smiled lazily and said:

"Understood, I'll tell my sister to send someone right away! Brother-in-law, you need to get these new recruits training quickly! We need to get them to look like soldiers as soon as possible, otherwise they'll always be hiding, which is really frustrating!"

Zhuang Weiyang feigned anger and said, "You, Zhong Bai, really think of me, Zhuang Weiyang, as your family's laborer?"

"Huh? Isn't my brother-in-law just my brother-in-law's laborer?"

"Would you dare say that to your sister?"

"I'll dare if you two get married!"

……

After the commotion, Zhuang Weiyang returned to her own courtyard.

According to Zhang Zezhong's calculations, he would need about sixty or seventy more demon bodies.

Insects, ants, and poisonous creatures don't count!

It is foreseeable that I will have to go out and work hard every day from now on.

Anything can happen in the wild, so you must seize every moment to improve yourself.

Zhuang Weiyang first lit the candle flame in her heart to burn the dragon scale armor on her body.

As the inner fire continued to emanate outwards, the connection between the dragon scale armor on his body and the inner fire deepened.

An hour later, the inner fire seemed to be able to support the precious armor.

"receive!"

The dragon scale armor was immediately absorbed into the inner fire.

Zhuang Weiyang nodded in satisfaction before returning to her room, ready to continue her efforts with the Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns.

"Sigh, everyone says I don't compete or fight, I don't even lead troops, and I have no desire to improve my cultivation."

But who knew that when I started cultivating, I didn't even waste my sleep time!

The dream classroom was empty. Yesterday, Zhao Qin said he had been quite busy lately, and relatives from his hometown might be visiting, so he might not be able to go to a safe place to enter his dream.

Zhuang Weiyang was happy to have some free time and kept practicing "Heavenly Tilt" in order to quickly improve her proficiency.

For the next three days, Zhuang Weiyang continued to cast spells on Zhong Bai as usual.

Within three days, the Wild People's Army had begun to resemble soldiers.

The art of "momentum" is constantly in operation, and proficiency is increasing rapidly.

only……

Zhong Bai wiped the blood from his face, looked at today's harvest, and frowned.

"Why didn't I realize before that there were so few monsters near Zuili!"

Today we only slew nine demons! At this rate, when will we be able to collect enough demon bodies?

Zhuang Weiyang was helpless in the face of this.

"What can we do? You've almost wiped out all the monsters in the area, you 'fierce general'!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Bai's eyes darted around.

"Brother-in-law, let's venture deep into the wilderness tomorrow morning! There's a mountain called 'Tianmu Mountain' on the border of Wu and Yue. It's teeming with demons; we can easily pull off one heist there!"

Upon hearing about this place, Zhuang Weiyang was momentarily lost in thought.

Tianmu Mountain, what a familiar name.

The first elite monster, "Green Snake," spawned in the Wu-Yue territory.

"Going to Tianmu Mountain is fine, but we can't go deep inside! The patriarch of the Green Serpent clan has reached the second realm of cultivation; he's not someone we can afford to offend!"

Zhong Bai's eyes lit up as he looked at the cautious Zhuang Weiyang, and he immediately patted his chest to assure her.

"Don't worry, brother-in-law! I'm the most cautious person around!"

"Let's head to Tianmu Mountain tomorrow!"

With summer planting imminent, Zhuang Weiyang nodded in agreement, and the itinerary for tomorrow was immediately finalized.

Tianmu Mountain!
