Chapter 151: Great Increase in Power!
Next moment,
Long Chen swallowed the Thousand Year Snow Ginseng. The ginseng melted instantly in his mouth, turning into a few drops of pure liquid, which flowed into Long Chen’s body.
It spread throughout his limbs and bones.
An extreme cold sensation emanated from within.
Long Chen felt his meridians being frozen by the cold,
and it was excruciating!
Long Chen frowned, immediately sat down cross-legged, and said to Dian Wei:
"Erlai, guard me!"
"Understood! Master, focus on your breakthrough. With me here, no one can come close!"
Sitting cross-legged, Long Chen formed a hand seal, and the "Escape Art Scripture" began to operate.
In his dantian, it was like a miniature sun, rising within his body.
Gradually melting the cold air condensed from the Thousand Year Snow Ginseng...
Time ticked by second by second...
When Long Chen opened his eyes again, it was already noon the next day!
He stood up,
clenched his fists tightly, and an icy gust of wind burst out instantly.
Boom—
In an instant,
dust and rocks flew everywhere on the ground.
Long Chen felt an immense power within his body, a boundless energy!
Gaining fifty years of power was no exaggeration.
With a joyful expression, he called out in his mind, "What changes have occurred in my body?"
"Ding! After undergoing the refining of the precious [Thousand Year Snow Ginseng], your stamina has increased by 15, and your stamina limit has increased by 10."
[Stamina]: 70 (Limit 80)
...
Seeing this, Long Chen smiled with satisfaction.
Hahaha!
Finally solved a major problem!
With insufficient stamina, I couldn’t even use my skills a few times. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Stamina is as crucial as mana in other games.
Now, my stamina has increased from 55 to 70.
The time I can fight has extended by several hours.
Not just on the battlefield, but even in bed!
For Long Chen, this was undoubtedly a significant improvement!
"Master! You’ve become stronger again!!!"
Dian Wei exclaimed, his thick eyebrows almost forming a single line, combined with his fierce face, it was quite intimidating.
Long Chen didn’t mind, smiling, "Indeed! Erlai, you noticed that."
Dian Wei, being a five-star general, had an exquisite control over his aura.
Moreover, Long Chen’s drastic change this time naturally didn’t escape Dian Wei’s sharp eyes.
"How about we have a spar?"
Long Chen raised an eyebrow.
Dian Wei quickly waved his hand, "No, Master, I... I don’t know my own strength. If I accidentally hurt you, it would be a great sin!"
"No worries! I absolve you of any guilt."
"I just want to test my current combat strength."
Dian Wei scratched his head, then reluctantly agreed, "Alright then..."
...
After fifteen rounds,
Long Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and coughed a few times.
Then he slowly stood up from the ground.
Good heavens.
Dian Wei, this brute, truly didn’t know how to hold back.
If this were modern times, he could forget about promotions and raises!
But Long Chen, unlike some leaders, was more delighted than annoyed by Dian Wei’s brute strength.
No wonder he’s so strong with a force value of 89 and stamina value of 85!
In reality, even these fifteen rounds were probably a bit watered down.
Otherwise, with Dian Wei’s golden talent of "Ancient Erlai" and his practice of "Taotie Art",
Long Chen might not have lasted even ten rounds.
But what they were comparing just now was more about strength and stamina, not magic skills and the like.
If viewed comprehensively, Long Chen wouldn’t have been defeated so easily.
Seeing his master coughing up blood, Dian Wei hurriedly came forward to support Long Chen.
He apologized, "Master, I told you I don’t know my own strength!"
Long Chen waved his hand, smiling, "No problem, no problem. Erlai, you truly are a fierce general. With you by my side, how could I fear those petty villains!!"
"Erlai, what did you do before? Your strength is astonishing!"
Dian Wei grinned, "I... I used to farm!"
"But later I met an old master who saw my honest and brave nature and taught me some techniques..."
Long Chen nodded, "I see!"
It must have been a master who recognized Dian Wei’s tremendous potential and thus taught him the relevant techniques...
He looked outside again and then said, "It’s getting late, we should head down the mountain soon!"
"Pass my command!"
"Move the most valuable treasures down first, and let the laborers come up to move the rest later!"
"All the soldiers have worked hard today. When we return, there will be rewards!"
Hearing this,
the soldiers’ loyalty to Long Chen became even more solidified.
Why do people join the army in chaotic times?
Isn’t it to have enough food to eat and to protect themselves and their loved ones?
And all these require money to better realize.
Now, their lord Long Chen can fulfill these needs.
Naturally, he will be loved and supported by the soldiers!
Upon returning to Danyang County,
Long Chen meticulously calculated the gains and losses of this expedition in his residence.
Just then,
a shadow appeared outside the door, and a faint, eerie call sounded in the quiet night.
It was like a bat in the moonlit night.
Long Chen looked out the window, showing a joyful expression, and said, "Come in!"
This was a secret code used only by members of the Jinyiwei, mimicking the ultrasonic wave of the Bat King, the master of the night.
This sound is impossible for modern humans to imitate, but in "The Great Lord," it is possible.
It’s similar to the sonic skills like the "Lion’s Roar."
Swish!
In an instant, a dark figure knelt before Long Chen.
A hoarse voice said, "Master! I have found the talents on your list!"
Hearing this, Long Chen was overjoyed and stood up from his seat.
He waved his hand and asked urgently, "Quickly, tell me!"
"Zhou Yu currently resides in Shuxian County of Lujiang Prefecture. His father, Zhou Yi, is the current magistrate of Luoyang.
Zhou Yu is tall and handsome, proficient in music, and has the reputation of ’Zhou Lang’s Mistake in Melody’ in Jiangdong.
Moreover, it is rumored that he has a close relationship with Sun Ce, the eldest son of Changsha Prefect Sun Jian..."
"All of this information was gathered in Lujiang Prefecture regarding Zhou Yu!"
A gleam of light flashed in Long Chen’s eyes.
Originally, he knew about Zhou Yu only superficially, but today’s investigation gave him a much clearer picture of Zhou Yu!
Honestly, although in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" Zhou Gongjin is often overshadowed by Zhuge Kongming,
and finally dies in frustration,
in the actual historical records, Zhou Yu was indeed a remarkable person. If not for his untimely death, Eastern Wu might have continued to prosper.
This is a true talent! Perhaps a five-star strategist!
However, the unfortunate part is that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce have been close since childhood... no, they are best brothers! ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Their close relationship can be seen from the fact that they married the two Qiao sisters from Jiangdong!
They married two sisters as their wives!
Long Chen stroked his chin, thinking to himself.
Speaking of the two Qiaos of Jiangdong, vivid images of the two beautiful women with broad chests automatically appeared in Long Chen’s mind!
If there’s a chance... why not~~~
Long Chen began to let his imagination run wild!
Influenced by information from his previous life, Long Chen had a deep impression of the Qiao sisters.
"Master!?"
Lin Yuntian’s puzzled voice brought Long Chen back to reality.
