The 4th Volume of Demon's Change Chapter 48: Please, Let Me Go (Part 1)
Every single one of the Jade Masters understood what a Shaper represented, and Zhou Weiqing took out 450,000 gold coins to give to his classmates as a gift, which was a further attempt to buy their hearts. Adding to that the emotional segment about standing up straight, in a short period of time, he had already gained the recognition of his classmates. Next, he believed that as long as he continued to quietly influence them, his fellow students would gradually develop a sense of dependence on him. Four years was still a long time, and he had countless ways to make these people around him thoroughly accept his existence as their leader.
The Sky Bow Empire is too weak, after witnessing the strength of the Fairy Empire, Zhou Weiqing deeply understood this point. To make a country strong, it must have talented people first. How many Master Jewelers does the entire Sky Bow Empire have? Every commoner student who can be admitted to the Fairy Royal Military Academy has real talent and learning, they are not only Master Jewelers but also military talents. If we can recruit as many of these talents as possible for our own use, then we will lay a solid foundation for helping the Sky Bow Empire become strong in the future.
Zhou Weiqing believed that his father had thought the same way initially, but his father was strong yet lacked the conditions to attract a master like Yu Xiang. However, Zhou Weiqing was different; he was now a Shaper Master and even considered a genius by his teacher, Hua Yang. With this identity, he believed he had the ability to attract talent. In the prestigious military academy of the Fei Li Empire, where talents were everywhere, it would be a waste if he only studied for four years. A person's abilities, no matter how strong, were limited, just like Zhou Deyin, who was a middle-ranking Tianzong and an excellent military strategist, yet the current Tian Bow Empire was still in danger.
It was precisely because of the grand ideals in his heart that Zhou Weiqing had produced such a strong killing intent after facing the threat of the Nether Flower. Plans were idealized, and every moment would change due to external influences. What he needed to do was to try and resolve these external factors as much as possible.
The crisis brought by the Meng Hua also made him lose his patience when facing Zong Lang, and he directly threw out the most direct conditions. He couldn't wait until he became a divine master in the future to recruit talents, it was too late. A country's prosperity needs to be developed step by step, becoming a divine master is unpredictable, Tian Gong Empire is now facing the strong pressure of Kresi Empire supported by Bai Da Empire, can't wait that long.
As for whether Zang Lang and those senior civilian students would follow him, Zhou Weiqing also had no guarantee, so he had to show his strength even more, demonstrating his abilities in the academy. Especially in terms of Shaping Master abilities, if he wanted these talents to follow him, he must have enough charm to make them want to follow him.
Back in the classroom, Zhou Weiqing was surprised to find that all the students hadn't left and were still lingering around. They were whispering among themselves, discussing something, with several female students gathered around Ouyang Xue'er.
As soon as Zhou Weiqing returned, the classroom immediately fell silent. Zhou Weiqing's heart stirred, and without being polite, he directly walked up to the lecturer's position.
"I'll say a few words and then you can all take a break."
Everyone's gaze suddenly fell on Zhou Weiqing, and the students who were originally standing also returned to their own positions. The strength and Condensation Master identity that Zhou Weiqing showed today had a great impact on them, and the craze for free condensation and shaping had not yet dissipated. Most of the students looked up to him with some admiration.
With a smile on his face, Zhou Wei Qing looked like a harmless big boy at this time. "Later when everyone registers with Kou Rui, be sure to write down your Heavenly Power level clearly. For those who need to apply for a seal, go directly to Yan Zhe Xi and he will take care of it. Then every weekend when the academy is on holiday, we'll all go together and he'll pay. Don't worry about the money, I'll earn it back by selling condensed scrolls. As for Body Refining Masters, during registration, also note what attribute your body refining is, as well as the direction you want to develop in and what kind of condensed weapon you hope to have. This way, I can tailor-make a condensed scroll that suits each of you best."
As he said this, he paused for a moment, clearly seeing that many of the students below had lit up their eyes when they heard about bespoke. The number of physical bead masters far exceeded that of intention bead masters, and these commoner students looked up to even the condensed form scrolls, let alone bespoke. Even among those heavenly bead masters who served the nobles and the Tuo Yin Palace, not many could enjoy this treatment!
Zhou Weiqing smiled and said, "I have another suggestion. If you're a Body Jeweling Master without any Condensing Skills, you can first apply for a Condensing Scroll to get some equipment on hand. If you already have one piece of Condensing Equipment, it's best to wait for a while and focus on cultivating your Heavenly Energy. In about two years, I should be able to advance to the level of an Advanced Condensing Master. At that time, I'll try to create Condensing Scrolls with inlaid holes and Condensing Suits. The inlaid hole Condensing Scrolls are only suitable for Heaven Masters, but the Condensing Suits can be used by ordinary Body Jeweling Masters."
If the gaze in the eyes of these students just now was fanatic, then this moment is stunned. A solid scroll with an inlaid hole? A solid suit? Such things are already legendary to them, let alone seeing it, even thinking about it!
Seeing that the effect he wanted to achieve was already there, Zhou Weiqing smiled and said: "Alright, that's all I have to say. Of course, if you don't want to wait, we can proceed with the Condensation Formation directly. I can guarantee a 100% success rate for the Condensation Formation. If one set of Condensation Scrolls doesn't work, we'll move on to the second set. Ice, please stand up."
Shangguan Bing'er heard Zhou Weiqing call out to her and couldn't help but pause for a moment. At this time, she naturally couldn't let her man lose face, so she subconsciously stood up.
Zhou Weiqing's smile on his face was retracted, and he said seriously: "Everyone, now I solemnly introduce to you. This beautiful Shangguan Xue'er is my wife, so in the future, male classmates should not have any ideas about her. Otherwise... Hehe."
"Xiao Pang, what are you talking about?" Shangguan Bing'er was taken aback at first, then her pretty face turned bright red, and she quickly ran out of the classroom.
Kou Rui suddenly shouted: "Big sister." The students were already in a burst of laughter.
Zhou Weiqing's face was not ordinary, he waved his hand at the crowd as if nothing had happened, and then chased after Ouyang Xue'er. As soon as he left, Kou Rui was surrounded by a crowd of people who couldn't wait to register. Even Yan Zheyi and Ma Qun, both Tianzhu masters, couldn't resist the trend.
Zhou Weiqing chased all the way to the entrance of the academy before catching up with Shangguan Xue'er, "Xue'er, slow down! Wait for me!"
Shangguan Bing'er turned her head, her pretty face flushing red as she scolded: "What were you just saying?! How am I supposed to interact with my classmates in the future?!"
"Heh heh, who made you so enchanting? Am I not proclaiming my sovereignty?"
Shangguan Bing'er said irritably: "What's this 'declare sovereignty' nonsense? Am I your possession or something?"
"Shake head instantly, 'No, no, of course not.' My meaning is, declare your sovereignty over me, I am your little fatty ah! Look at me, so handsome, gentle and kind, silly and lovely, can also do scrolls. If other beauties take a fancy to me, would you say I am obedient or not? This declaration of sovereignty, let everyone know that I am yours, whoever wants to control me must first compare with you. Compare, they will be ashamed and retreat? I'm thinking for your sake!"
Looking at his shameless face, Shangguan Bing'er couldn't help but snort and laugh, "And yet gentle and kind. I think many people take you for a fierce beast."
As she was no longer angry, Zhou Weiqing immediately went up to her and hugged her small waist, hehe smiled: "As long as I don't treat Ice Girl like a fierce beast, it's all right."
Shangguan Bing'er said seriously: "Xiao Pang, tell me, are you doing this today to get these classmates to help our Tian Gong Empire in the future?"
Wu Wei Qing smiled slightly and said, "It's still too early to talk about these things. You just need to know that your husband's goals are very ambitious, that's all. Don't worry, I'll handle everything well, you just focus on studying hard. Leave other things to me to deal with. To be honest, when I saw the course schedule today, my head spun - there's no foundation at all, and I think I won't be able to learn much either. In the future, it will depend on you, exams and whatnot, remember to let me copy."
Shangguan Bing'er frowned, "Xiao Pang, this won't do. Otherwise, I'll help you review some basic military knowledge."
Wu Cheng shook his head repeatedly, "I don't believe it, I don't have that much free time. Taking care of this group of students isn't easy, making the condensed scrolls and cultivating them will almost take up all my spare time. As for studying, whatever can be learned in class is enough."
Shangguan Bing'er said somewhat anxiously, "But you will also inherit the legacy of General Zhou in the future and command our Tian Gong Empire's army!"
Wu Cheng smiled slightly and said, "Ice, you still don't understand my meaning. As a commander, it's not necessarily about how strong your military knowledge is. As long as you have the ability to command a group of people with excellent military talent, that's enough."
Shangguan Bing'er was taken aback for a moment, and although she thought Zhou Weiqing's words were absurd, they seemed to make some sense. Over the past two years in the Heavenly Bow Unit, Zhou Weiqing had undergone significant changes. Not only had his physique become more robust and majestic, but his originally rough demeanor had also gradually subsided. On the surface, he sometimes appeared arrogant, but she knew that Little Fatty's true emotions were completely internalized, and although he was not yet seventeen years old, his thoughts were far deeper than those of an adult.
Guess why this chapter is called "Please, let me go". It's not because of Shangguan Bing'er...
