Chapter 10: Rapid Progress
The ability of Zhang Zhongjun, who has not undergone any training, to simultaneously control 300 bean soldiers left the Big Frog astonished. The Big Frog even took the time to check Zhang Zhongjun's mental state, but due to its own limited brain capacity, it naturally could not determine whether Zhang Zhongjun's brain capacity was particularly large
Although Zhang Zhongjun is impressive, when the number of bean soldiers reaches 300, he can only control their four actions: advancing, retreating, attacking, and defending
Quack, it seems that this fellow must have encountered a lot of trouble outside, and when he goes out, there will surely be a lot of exciting and lively scenes to see. Quack, I am really looking forward to it
Finally, it compelled the bean soldiers to perform tasks similar to those of attendants, such as serving tea, pouring water, delivering fruits, fanning to provide coolness, and assisting with changing clothes. This allowed the big frog to also enjoy the treatment of a master.
Zhang Zhongjun's control over the bean soldiers has reached a new level; he can now expand to a maximum of 300 bare-footed men wearing breastplates and wielding machetes, with a minimum of the current three heavy cavalrymen at the sixth level of body refinement
Wow, senior brother, they are all elite soldiers at the first level of body refinement! I feel as if I can command my arms, making them perform any action; this feeling is truly strange.
The phenomenon is normal; the bean soldiers are controlled by the user's will. To put it bluntly, the control and combat power of this magical artifact, the bean soldiers, far surpass that of pure spells that summon soldiers from beans. " said the big green frog, casually holding a cigarette.
The proud big frog, for some reason, felt increasingly that something was amiss as it pondered. Tilting its head in thought, it still could not figure out what the problem was. It could only shake its head and sadly exhale a puff of smoke, saying: "Ribbit, having a low brain capacity is truly a great disadvantage!"
Although Zhang Zhongjun had somewhat intentionally let things slide during this period, the Great Frog could clearly see that the three Bean Soldiers controlled by Zhang Zhongjun were already capable of contending with the Ninth Layer of Body Refinement! If the opponent were to be careless, they might even be eliminated by them!
Thinking of this, the big frog felt quite pleased, as he had managed to suppress Zhang Zhongjun, who had been promoted to the ninth level of body refinement, from revealing any treasures. With the increase in his own endurance and adaptation, he no longer spat out treasures at the slightest punch from Zhang Zhongjun; instead, he required a thorough beating before he would relinquish any treasures. Moreover, he did not expel all the treasures at once, but rather only one item at a time.
"That is strange, inexplicable. As the only son of a noble family, why would you jump into this poisonous misty valley?" The big frog muttered while stroking its chin. It certainly knew that things were not that simple, but since Zhang Zhongjun was being petulant and not saying anything, it did not matter. After all, once they got out, these matters would naturally come to light.
Originally, it intended to regurgitate the treasure to see if there was any sparkling item that it desired. However, after a moment of contemplation with its limited intellect, it realized that anything it found appealing was certainly beyond the current level of Zhang Zhongjun's capabilities. Therefore, it decided not to allow itself to be beaten by Zhang Zhongjun.
If the people outside who understand what Yuan Zhu is knew about Zhang Zhongjun's current treatment, they would all go crazy! It is precisely because of Zhang Zhongjun and the big frog that such wastefulness occurs
However, as long as it does not exceed the level and strength limits, transforming into a strength below the sixth level of body refinement, as well as a number exceeding three hundred, can be done at will
As long as the bean soldiers have sufficient vitality, they will definitely increase in strength along with the enhancement of their master's abilities. In other words, when Zhang Zhongjun reaches the ninth level of Qi training, the three bean soldiers will also be at the sixth level of Qi training
My father comes from a military aristocracy, and our family follows military discipline. I have been trained according to the requirements of the army since childhood. Leading troops in battle is the only area where I have received praise. Zhang Zhongjun, who had always been cheerful, suddenly spoke with a hint of melancholy.
According to that strange contract, the items must be given, but when to give them and how much to give at once is still somewhat within the power of the big green frog to decide
It was just Zhang Zhongjun who engaged in battle with three soldiers at the sixth level of body refinement, and surprisingly, he ended up playing by himself to the point of near exhaustion, ultimately relying on the swallowing of the Yuan Pearl to recover from his injuries
When there are only three bean soldiers, Zhang Zhongjun can manipulate them with ease, even controlling all three to thread a needle without any difficulty. As for the action of tidying up items, Zhang Zhongjun is capable of managing thirty of them. Therefore, he usually keeps thirty bean soldiers as servants.
With the support of the large green frog's open quantity, Zhang Zhongjun truly eats the yuan pearl as if he were eating a lollipop, finishing it yet still having more, eating until you no longer want it, rather than having nothing to eat
"Not at all! My father has only one son, so there is no issue of heirs. I didn't fall because of that," Zhang Zhongjun retorted with a roll of his eyes. As for the true situation, he did not disclose it, as he did not wish for his senior brother to harbor animosity towards Sister Yueer.
Quack! Don't you dare tell me that with your pathetic qualifications, you were looked down upon and bullied in your noble family, and then due to issues related to inheritance of titles, you ended up in this melodramatic situation of being harmed by others and falling into my hands
However, young man, your commanding style is quite impressive. Have you served in the military? Yet, given your age, especially your personality, you don't seem like someone from the ranks.
"Hmph, in an era where personal strength can defy the heavens, leading an army is nothing. A single powerful individual can annihilate thousands of troops with one strike," the big green frog mocked. However, upon seeing Zhang Zhongjun lower his head and fall silent for the first time, he couldn't help but jump up and exclaim:
Initially, Zhang Zhongjun only played games such as using bean soldiers and eagles to catch chicks, and then he divided the bean soldiers into two or three troops to engage in battles, enjoying himself immensely
The big frog exhaled a puff of smoke and couldn't help but mutter, "Damn it! It's really infuriatingly enviable. The treasure that fell out according to the contract is indeed perfectly suited for this kid to use!"
The number of bean soldiers, apart from the limitations of the master's strength and vitality, is also subject to the range of mental control
However, it cannot be considered a waste now, as the bean soldier will absorb all the vital energy leaked by Zhang Zhongjun
Due to the level restrictions, Zhang Zhongjun is unable to summon two heavy cavalry at the seventh level of body refinement, which would result in an explosion
By the time Zhang Zhongjun was promoted to the ninth level of body refinement, his bean soldiers had already reached three at the sixth level of body refinement, fully equipped with complete armor and an arsenal of swords, spears, and shields, forming a super elite force
It was so astonished that it could hardly speak, finally only able to exclaim: "Wow! Children really know how to play, they even managed to make the cannon fodder bean soldiers come to life!"
However, as for the treasures from the remaining four promotions, namely six, seven, eight, and nine, I will not give them to you so easily. You will have to wait patiently, and when I am in a good mood, who knows, I might just let them slip out after you hit me once!
At first, the big frog scolded Zhang Zhongjun for focusing his energy on these bean soldiers, believing that they were merely cannon fodder to hinder the enemy. However, later on, Zhang Zhongjun's use of the bean soldiers left the big frog astonished.
