Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 108 0107: Soul Slave Appears; Court Battle
Wild world, at the door of the market hut.

Cheng Zongyang arranged the three corpses neatly and placed the soul crystals on the ground in front of the heads of the three corpses.

He didn't know how to operate the soul crystal, so he could only try it this way.

"Release!" Cheng Zongyang said.

Immediately, the panel prompted again.

Cheng Zongyang looked at it and found it was exactly the same as the previous prompt, so he selected [Yes].

The next second, the soul crystal on the ground was seen floating up, and the flashing red light became brighter and brighter.

About two meters above the ground, a red light swept across the surrounding environment, and then two light sources fell on two of the corpses.

Cheng Zongyang held his breath and stared at the changes in the soul crystal without moving.

After scanning the two corpses, the soul crystal exploded into a ball of red light the next moment.

Immediately afterwards, the two corpses on the ground enveloped by the light source began to disintegrate.

The situation was like a piece of cloth that had been buried deep underground for thousands of years and shattered at the slightest touch, or like Thanos snapping his fingers and people turning into dust.

But the dust is absorbed by the red light.

Slowly, the red light shrank to form a ball of red mist about one meter in size, surging back and forth.

[Please start shaping a new body. The time limit is three minutes. If the time limit is exceeded, two corpses will be automatically generated randomly. Just shape it in your mind and simulate it.]

Cheng Zongyang suddenly saw a box pop up in front of him. Seeing the prompt, Cheng Zongyang was stunned, thought about it quickly, and suddenly asked:
"Can it only appear in human form?"

If possible, he would rather make it into some orc form, which would give it a stronger sense of power.

But the soul crystal or stone ring did not respond at all.

In order to avoid accidents, he chose to be conservative. Otherwise, wasting time and being randomly selected would be a big loss.

Slowly, as he simulated in his mind, the red mist began to wriggle and transformed into a tall human figure.

This feeling made Cheng Zongyang feel very strange, as if he was creating a life himself!
If there were a large number of soul crystals, he would be happy to create some female celebrities or cartoon characters that he liked in his previous life. He could even adjust them better.

But now there is only one, and the purpose is to use it as a laborer. It is not necessary.

A moment later, as the red mist dissipated, a man about 1.9 meters tall appeared.

He doesn't have excessive muscles and his face is that of an anime character - Mark.

From Ling Long, a commander of wasteland hunters.

As the characters are gradually formed, the panels appear again.

[The soul slave has been bound and the panel attributes have been generated. You can modify the following information. Once the modification is completed, it cannot be changed.

Name: Wang Degui (can be modified)

Constitution: 30 (normal 10)

Power: 50
Stamina: 40
Agility: 30
Skills: None (Can copy the skills of the soul master himself, cannot be upgraded, cannot be changed, remaining time: 23:58:46)

Attribute Talent: Strong (Passive talent, strength attribute increases by 20% in combat.)
Unallocated attribute points: 10]

-

Looking at the attributes of the panel, Cheng Zongyang was also quite surprised. The attribute points of this panel were much stronger than those of ordinary people!

"It was indeed the right decision to choose a warrior's corpse! The basic attributes of this corpse are at least those of a ninth-grade warrior."

Cheng Zongyang was very happy. In this way, he not only had a labor force, but also a helper in battle! Even if it could only be in the wilderness world.

A 20% increase in strength, and a passive talent, makes him a complete fighter!
Next, Cheng Zongyang copied his archery skills and allocated attribute points to strength.

It cannot be modified or upgraded in the future, and these attribute points can only be allocated to strength!

In this way, the soul slave's powerful talents can be better utilized.

Sixty points of strength, with a strong increase, is equivalent to temporarily adding another twelve points of strength!

A total of seventy-two points of strength, seven times the strength attribute of an ordinary person!
Even if an ordinary person exerts a force of 200 kilograms in combat, this soul slave is equivalent to the strength of an eighth-grade warrior!
Normal level nine, combat level eight.

It is useful for both work and combat.

Finally, Cheng Zongyang changed his name to [Ma San]. After confirming it again and again, he clicked [Submit]. The panel refreshed.

-

Name: Ma San

Constitution: 30
Power: 60
Stamina: 40
Agility: 30
Skills: Archery (Expertise)
Attribute talent: Strong

Looking at the new attribute interface, Cheng Zongyang was very satisfied.

At this time, the soul slave also fell to the ground.

"Ma San meets the master."

Ma San, who was a head taller than Cheng Zongyang, bowed respectfully.

"No need to be so polite, just call me Sir from now on. Tell me about your original identity."

Knowing that a soul had randomly merged into the soul slave's body, the memory would naturally exist. So he was curious to know who the other party was.

Ma San said with great respect: "Sir, my real name is Wang Degui, and my current name is Ma San. Five years ago, I was a farmer's son. Because of my good performance after military service, I was retained by an elder in the county to serve as a soldier guarding the city tower.

When he was alive, he was standing guard on the city wall. The refugees behind him rioted and rushed into the city. However, he was infected with the plague and had a high fever, so he was unable to run slowly and died under the trampling of the refugees. After becoming a soul, he learned from a soul named Shouhou that it was because of two warriors who instigated them to tell them that they had the plague, which made the refugees desperate and rioted.

I was attracted by something and entered a red space. Then I saw an exit and escaped from the battle for my obsession. Only then did I realize that it was the master who gave me a new life.

Hearing this, Cheng Zongyang never thought that he would accidentally hear the inside story of the refugees' riot!
The riot of refugees in this county was actually instigated by someone!

Two warriors!
Cheng Zongyang couldn't help but think of the two people asking for directions and the warriors who were quietly watching the refugees rushing into the city on the official road!
"It should be them!"

Cheng Zongyang felt more and more that the water in this county town was very deep, and it was right not to stay in the county town.

Now, there is no need for Ma San to express his loyalty, because his memory contains not only his own memories, but also his inherent loyalty to Cheng Zongyang and his submission.

"Ma San, since you used to be a farmer, you should know how to farm, right?"

Ma San replied, "Yes, even though I haven't farmed for a few years, I still know how to do it."

"Okay. Then the vacant land within this area is yours. There are some in the rice seed hut, so arrange them as soon as possible. In addition, there are other seeds..."

Cheng Zongyang brought Ma San into the cabin and introduced them one by one.

Only he can use the functions of the hut. Even for restoring strength or healing injuries, only he can allow outsiders to use it.

After introducing the things in the cabin, Cheng Zongyang also took a torch and talked about his plan for the land and the cleaning of the pool.

Afterwards, he left a hunter's bow and arrow that he had picked up on the road, and a fine long sword for Ma Sanyong.

He still used the ironwood bow and arrow, as well as the Tang sword, which he preferred to the long sword.

Cheng Zongyang finished explaining his plan, and was worried that Ma San would not be able to remember so much. Unexpectedly, Ma San's memory was also very strong.

I basically remembered everything he said.

"Don't worry, sir. I will farm according to your arrangements. I won't let you down." Ma San immediately expressed his opinion.

"Okay." Cheng Zongyang smiled. With Ma San, he didn't have to worry about the land reclamation all the time.

Cheng Zongyang looked at the time and realized that it was almost three o'clock.

In just over an hour, the sky would begin to lighten.

Without lingering any longer, Cheng Zongyang left the wilderness world and immediately rushed back to Neishankou, feeling extremely relaxed.

After entering the mountains, the sky was already slightly pale.

Cheng Zongyang then took out a large amount of medicinal materials and placed them in the mountains, preparing to take them down in two or three batches.

Mao Shi.

Daliang, Yangzhou Prefecture.

Yangzhou Prefecture was also the capital of Daliang State.

In the Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace.

"Lord, it's time to roll the dice."

As a shrill voice sounded outside the door, in the brightly lit room, Emperor Liang, who was reviewing memorials, slowly raised his head, revealing a handsome face with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes.

Emperor Liang was less than forty years old and in his prime. He was still energetic after reviewing memorials all night.

He tilted his head to look towards the window, and it was already dawn.

"Let Su Ze come to see me!" Emperor Liang's voice was calm, but it revealed an unquestionable tone with supreme majesty.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Someone outside immediately left in a hurry.

Emperor Liang put down the brush in his hand, put away the letter in front of him and put it aside. There were three big characters written on the letter, and three small characters written on the side - Qianye County, Rotary Division.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, a handsome young man of about the same age seemed to appear suddenly at the door of the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, I, Su Ze, pay my respects to you."

"come in."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

With a sound, the door was opened by two guards.

The young man waved the sleeves of his black and white brocade robe and walked into the room in flowing clothes.

The door was then closed by the guards.

"Your Majesty, may I know what you want me to do?" Su Ze bowed again.

Emperor Liang leaned back in his chair with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was resting, and asked calmly, "Is there no progress on that matter yet?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ze responded immediately:
“After several years of pursuit, we can now determine that the target is in the center of Tianduan Mountain, but almost all the fierce beasts and strange beasts have gathered in the center, seemingly to protect the central area. All the masters above the third rank in the Six Paths Department and the Rotation Department are still trying to break through the beast group.

If we, the innate warriors, take action, we will be besieged by all the strange beasts and provoke a reaction in the central area, so we can only break through slowly.

But don't worry, Your Majesty. We are very close to the central area and there will be a breakthrough soon.

There are also spies from neighboring countries who are trying to find out about this, and we have already sent a large number of people to completely block the central area."

Emperor Liang was silent, and Su Ze also waited quietly.

At this time, Emperor Liang opened his eyes and looked gloomy:
"Don't worry about them. They won't mobilize troops before they have investigated the situation thoroughly. The four prefectures have been in a state of chaos in the past few years. Okay, hurry up over there. The drought has lasted long enough! If there is nothing else, go see your sister. She really misses you as her brother."

Su Ze did not respond. This was the king's plan and there was nothing to say.

If some people had seen the meteor when it fell to the ground, and it was real, then the things these powerful families did would be nothing.

After hearing the word "sister", Su Ze smiled. His sister Su Ruyan was the empress, and he hadn't seen her for a long time. He immediately bowed and said:

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I retire!"

After Su Ze left, Emperor Liang began to send people to change clothes and prepare to go to court.

Half an hour later, it was already bright.

In the Golden Palace, all the officials saluted and stood on both sides. The eunuch in charge of ceremonies beside Emperor Liang stepped forward and shouted in a shrill voice:

"If you have the ability, go out early and play music. If you don't have the ability, draw the curtain and leave the court!"

The next moment, a low cough was heard from below, and two breaths later an official walked out, came to the center, bowed, and said:
"Your Majesty, I have a script!"

Emperor Liang glanced at the person on the other side, a middle-aged official, who also knew him, and said in a calm voice: "Lord Lu, what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, I received a report that there were refugees everywhere in Qianye County, Xiangyang, and all the counties were actively managing it. However, the magistrate of Yufeng County allowed the refugees to surround and block the city without any guidance. He even watched the refugees fight and rob outside the city, and even bred epidemics. Later, the refugees could not bear the torture and rioted and rushed into the city, resulting in countless deaths and injuries among the people in the city..."

Lu Su listed dozens of charges against the magistrate of Yufeng County, some minor and some serious, and finally said solemnly: "... All the charges are in the report, I hope Your Majesty will examine them carefully!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Liang became furious and shouted, "Show it up!"

The eunuch in charge of ceremonies hurried down and presented the memorial to Emperor Liang respectfully and carefully.

Emperor Liang glanced at the content, and the anger emanating from him intensified.

In the lower middle position of the left queue, there was a middle-aged official with sweat on his forehead and a distressed look on his face, but he did not dare to go out and refute.

He knew that the Zhu family had obtained so much "evidence" and began to make trouble.

He is the only pillar of the Chang family in the court - Chang Wuli.

Chang Wuli looked at the second old man in front of him from time to time. Seeing him close his eyes and rest, not caring at all, he was also worried. He didn't know what Mr. Zheng was thinking.

But in his heart he also secretly cursed his nephew Chang Younian for his inability to accomplish anything.

It was a good plan. If it succeeded, the power of the Zheng family would be further strengthened, which would also mean that the opponent would be weakened.

But now it has led to such chaos!

"Your Majesty, I have a script!"

At this time, a man came out from below, presented a memorial, and said hurriedly:

"Your Majesty, this is untrue. According to the report I received, most of the refugees in Qianye County fled from Linchuan to escape famine. Linchuan Guang'an County, which is adjacent to Qianye County, is almost starving to death. Most people can only flee to the nearest Xiangyang Qianye County, and Yufeng County is the nearest county town. But there are too many people, and County Magistrate Chang cannot let them enter the city, so he can only let the refugees besiege the city and provide porridge and water every day. In order to try to..."

The officials who came out held memorials in their hands, bent over and talked about various good measures that had been taken, and also refuted Lu Su's charges.

It seems that all the charges are just specious arguments, ignoring the facts.

The eunuch in charge of ceremonies immediately went down and presented it.

After reading it, Emperor Liang's expression eased a little, but his face was still stern. He leaned forward halfway, his eyes swept over the two people below, without saying a word.

Among the nine officials on each side in front, all of them listened calmly, without being moved by the officials' affairs at all.

Chang Wuli saw someone coming out to help defend the family, which meant that the Zheng family was still supporting the Chang family, which made him feel a little relieved.

However, people from the Zhu family came out later and began to refute those so-called measures, generalizing and emphasizing some major crimes:

“…Your Majesty, to sit back and watch the epidemic appear, and then to think of treating the epidemic and gaining credit for the treatment, is an evil act that disregards human life!
Did he ever think that if he couldn't control it, the number of people who died from the disease would far exceed the impact of the drought! By then, a county town, and even all the towns and villages under its jurisdiction, would become a dead city, a deserted town, and a dead village. That would be the most horrifying thing since the founding of Liang State!

More importantly, this person actually colluded with local wealthy families to rob grain trucks!

This is the relief grain from the imperial court, which concerns the life and death of tens of thousands of people! The magistrate of Yufeng County is simply disregarding the law of the king and treating the laws of Daliang as nothing! This is a serious crime of confiscating property and exterminating the clan! Your Majesty, please issue an order to arrest this evil official! "
