Chapter 956: Chapter 44: Shocking! Patriarch, Is This Who You Really Are?
As one life-saving trump card after another was used, time continued to tick by.
At this moment, Wang Shou Lian was nearly at the end of his strength.
Just as he was about to give up and prepare for a desperate final stand.
"One hour and twenty breaths, time’s up!" Wang Shouzhe shouted.
"I concede!" Wang Shou Lian cried out, his voice hoarse and cracking.
Afterward, the action of the Asura Demon froze, a light flashed, and its figure disappeared from the spot.
With his average Great Celestial Pride talent, dealing with the Asura Demon was too difficult.
He believed that those Great Celestial Prides who graduated before, or the Innate Spirit Body Level Unparalleled Celestial Prides, if they used his kind of cheating method, most of them would likely break the previous record set by Wang Chuanwu.
However, most of the Great Celestial Prides specially recruited into the recruit training camp, or the extremely rare Unparalleled Celestial Prides, hailed from extraordinary backgrounds, each very proud and ambitious, and at that young age where reputation mattered. For a single potion, how could they be so shameless?
Even if they broke a record using such dishonest means, they would be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.
In contrast, this group led by Wang Shouzhe didn’t care about face issues in the slightest, and no one would ridicule them.
After the Asura Demon vanished, Wang Shou Lian nearly collapsed to the ground, barely holding on.
Wang Shouzhe hurried forward to treat him, delightedly saying, "Well done, Sixth Brother, this is the most glorious moment of your life."
"Hehe, I, Wang Shou Lian, did it, I didn’t disgrace the family." Wang Shou Lian grinned with pride, slightly recovering, and patted Wang Shouzhe’s chest cautiously called, "Fourth Brother!"
When Wang Shou Lian uttered these words, he couldn’t have been happier.
He had lived for over eighty years and had never dared to call his Fourth Brother "Fourth," unlike his bolder Sixth Sister, Wang Luqiu.
Wang Shouzhe was momentarily stunned, then laughed and playfully punched him back: "You brat, you’re getting cocky, aren’t you? Just wait till I’m done with you. But since you did well this time, I’ll let you call me that ten times."
Such are true brothers. They grew up together, struggled together, and worked hard together to shoulder the heavy responsibilities of the family.
The Wang Family is definitely not supported by Wang Shouzhe alone. He couldn’t bear the weight of the entire family by himself.
"I’ll save the remaining nine times for later." Wang Shou Lian handed over the High-Grade Modification Liquid and the High-Grade Essence Liquid Edition to Wang Shouyong, proudly saying, "Fifth Brother, do your best, don’t disgrace me or Fourth Brother. Now there are eight times left, feels great."
Wang Shouyong took the baton, his expression dark: "Sixth Brother, you’ve really grown bold, I’ll deal with you once I complete this relay."
Even as he said this, the psychological pressure on him was enormous.
Then.
Like following a template, Wang Shouyong also relied on his will and determination to persevere to the end, using every unscrupulous tactic to prolong the time by one incense stick’s duration.
Of course, he used quite a few life-saving trump cards, costing at least several million Qian Coins in total. But it was all worth it, wasn’t it?
Once was fine, but twice in a row nearly caused the Artifact Spirit to crash, as it said faintly: "Lord Shouzhe, your family’s actions are disgraceful, it’ll be a laughing stock, turning into a social topic..."
"Miss Artifact Spirit, did we violate any rules?" Wang Shouzhe asked seriously.
"No violations, just too shameless... I recommend stopping this..."
Before the Artifact Spirit could finish, Wang Shouzhe told Wang Luotong: "Luotong, get ready and do your best."
He completely ignored the Artifact Spirit’s words.
Anyway, someone in the family was already ingratiating themselves with her, so Wang Shouzhe didn’t need to bother.
"Yes, Fourth Brother." Wang Luotong replied solemnly, "No matter what, I won’t let you down."
All along, Wang Luotong had been a role model for many young women in the family. She refused to succumb to the fate of marrying for alliances like other women of the direct bloodline, and continuously strived to change her destiny.
Now she had become the "Ancestor Luotong" of the family, one of the pillars of the Wang Family.
Because she focused so much on cultivating and honing her Black Tortoise Tortoise Combat Technique, and unlike Shou Lian, she didn’t have to handle many official duties that drained her energy, so in terms of pure strength, she was slightly stronger than Shouyong and Shou Lian.
Yet even so.
Wang Luotong’s battle was still extremely challenging, although she used slightly fewer trump cards. The time she lasted reached one hour and thirty breaths, successfully breaking Wang Shouyong’s record.
Afterward, amidst the Artifact Spirit’s resentful and disdainful tones, Wang Zongchang took the baton, completely ignoring the Artifact Spirit’s sarcasm, continuing to execute the most shameless strategy.
Wang Zongchang’s Xunfeng Wind Element Bloodline was also adept at prolonged battles. His trump card consumption was the least, and he managed to prolong the time to one hour and forty breaths, completing his great and glorious mission with relatively less embarrassment.
"Next, it’s my turn." Wang Shouzhe took the baton, ignoring the enhancement of his bloodline talent for now, then he entered the battlefield.
"Wang Shouzhe, are you still going to employ this shameless tactic to delay and break records? You’ve disappointed me greatly. Although I have no authority to punish you, I’ve already reported the situation to Headquarters as it is, and you will be making headlines." The Artifact Spirit withdrew the "respected" prefix and "your Excellency" suffix.
Wang Shouzhe ignored the Artifact Spirit’s words and silently began the battle.
This battle too utilized delaying tactics, yet strangely enough. Wang Shouzhe dragged it on for three entire days, far exceeding the highest record of one hour and forty breaths.
"Wang Shouzhe, aren’t you planning to leave any room for those behind you to delay and set records?" The Artifact Spirit couldn’t fathom Wang Shouzhe’s tactics, "You’re increasing the difficulty for those coming after."
"Indeed, I’m delaying. But this time, the delay is for leaving ample time for those after me to finish off the target." Wang Shouzhe laughed and said, "The time is almost up, I believe three-plus days should be sufficient for them to complete it."
Three days more than adequately covered all unexpected events.
Having said that, Wang Shouzhe finally got serious.
Unlike Luotong and Shou Lian, he was originally a Great Celestial Pride, with his strength at the Fifth-Layer of the Celestial Human Realm. After a bloodline improvement, even if his lineage wasn’t offensively strong, his overall combat power surpassed the Early Stage Celestial Human Realm Asura Demon Race.
One incense stick later.
The utterly exhausted Asura Demon collapsed with a loud bang.
Wang Shouzhe, victorious!
"This, this..." The Artifact Spirit was momentarily disoriented. "Wang, no, respected Lord Shouzhe, you defeated the Asura Demon! This has never happened before in this camp..."
"Please calculate the first clear reward for the seventh level, clearance reward, and the highest record refresh reward for this camp, Artifact Spirit." Wang Shouzhe smiled, as if he had already envisioned an Artifact Spirit stripped bare of all privileges.
