Chapter 348: The highest level of pretending to be loyal is to unite the masses
Harming Li Jing cannot be done all at once, but must be done step by step, stopping at the appropriate time and then working on it gradually.
In short, let the bullets fly for a while, so as not to appear too targeted and arouse the Jade Emperor's vigilance, and instead make him believe that Wen Rui is framing him.
Therefore, Wen Rui left a psychological hint in the hearts of the heavenly soldiers and generals, planted a poisonous seed, and immediately changed the topic, directing the attention of the immortals elsewhere.
"There are two test prototypes now... No, there are two samples of the 'Ruyi Immortal Weapon' weapon. If you can sign up on site, you can participate in the test."
Wen Rui took out another gold medal and shook it in front of everyone.
"me!"
"Junior brother, let me come first!"
"Emperor Wen, please let me give it a try..."
……
The fierce fight between Wen Rui and Nezha was seen clearly by all the immortals on the viewing platform. It was true that Wen Rui, who had the upper hand, was an extremely skilled martial artist.
But the golden mist magic weapon that could transform as he wished doubled his strength.
Nezha, who possesses Wind-Fire Wheels, Universe Ring, Fire-Tipped Spear and Hun Tian Ling, is armed to the teeth, but he is overwhelmed by the various immortal weapons transformed by the golden mist.
In the ancient world, the importance of magical weapons and treasures is self-evident.
Many low-level immortals challenge and kill powerful enemies above their level, relying on the treasures given by their masters when they go down the mountain.
For a warrior, the importance of a handy weapon is even greater than that of a magic weapon.
Even if it is a monkey that jumped out of a crack in a rock, when it becomes proficient in martial arts and goes out to start a business, it will know to search all over the mountains and seas for a handy weapon.
The heavenly soldiers and generals are all at the grassroots level among the immortals in heaven. They don’t have any golden immortal masters, and they don’t have such a good opportunity to pick up ancient magical weapons just by going out.
Most of their weapons were distributed by the army, and the heavenly generals could only receive three or four pieces. As for the heavenly soldiers, they were only given a spear and a sword.
No matter which school or sect you followed before ascending, or what types of weapons you are good at, once you become a celestial soldier you must be uniform. It is impossible to create personalized equipment just for you.
The quality of the immortal weapons distributed by the heavenly generals is quite good, but the equipment of the heavenly soldiers is inevitably a bit perfunctory.
Anyway, Heaven doesn't expect the heavenly soldiers to conquer cities and expedition to the starry sea. When they come down to earth to fight demons, they mostly just stand in formation and wave flags and cheer.
For background boards and cannon fodder like these, it’s enough for them to dress like human beings in the cutscenes. Why do they need bicycles?
There is no surplus food in heaven, and it is impossible for all 100,000 heavenly soldiers to be equipped with top-level magic treasures. The key is that standard equipment should be cheap, durable and easy to mass produce.
Wen Rui specially selected a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general as test subjects. He handed a gold medal to the heavenly soldier but did not give the gold medal to the heavenly general, saying that he needed a control group to measure how much the Ruyi Immortal Soldier could improve ordinary heavenly soldiers.
He also promised that in the next round, the celestial general participating in the control test would be able to use the Ruyi Immortal Soldiers to fight against other celestial generals.
A soldier and a general entered the small world of the arena.
The general was very impatient and urged the heavenly soldiers to come forward quickly so that he could defeat them in one move and save time.
The result was beyond everyone's expectations. The heavenly soldier transformed into a Fang Tian Hua Ji and rushed forward to fight with the heavenly general who was holding a standard crescent-shaped sword.
The Heavenly Soldiers were at the level of Heavenly Immortals, but they were quick-witted and flexible, with a high level of comprehension, and they quickly mastered the use of the Ruyi Immortal Soldiers.
The Fang Tian Hua Ji keeps changing. When it needs to strike hard, it will turn into a golden hammer. Once the distance is increased, it will turn into a golden bow and shoot fiercely.
When the heavenly general swung his sword, it would turn into a round shield of Venus. When the round shield was hit hard, it absorbed the force and bounced it all back, causing the heavenly general to lose his balance.
Although there was an obvious gap in strength, the heavenly soldiers seemed to be assisted by God. They fought more and more skillfully and suppressed the heavenly general who was caught off guard.
The two immortals fought for hundreds of rounds, and finally the heavenly soldier's strength was exhausted and his movements slowed down. He lost a move unwillingly and was hit by the hilt of the heavenly general's sword. He was then judged as the loser and teleported out of the ring.
There was another uproar in the Xianwu Hall. Under normal circumstances, a Heavenly Soldier holding a broken spear who could fight a Heavenly General for three or five rounds would be considered an elite soldier.
The combat power of the heavenly soldiers using the Ruyi Immortal Weapon was significantly improved. Despite the difference in realm, they were able to hold out for so long.
It can be seen that the Ruyi Immortal Soldier is indeed a rare martial arts magic weapon.
The celestial general who had expended a lot of his immortal power to defeat the celestial soldiers finally obtained the right to test the Ruyi Immortal Soldiers. His opponent was a celestial general in the control group who had not obtained the Ruyi Immortal Soldiers.
Even though they had just fought a fierce battle and had not yet recovered their breath, the heavenly general with the Ruyi Immortal Weapon was full of momentum and defeated the new force within twenty moves.
The two generals originally had similar strength, but the ability to switch weapons at will was too OP, as if they were cheating.
The heavenly generals using the Ruyi Immortal Soldiers seemed to be assisted by a god and could easily defeat their opponents.
When two celestial generals who were also using Ruyi Immortal Weapons entered the arena, the fight was extremely spectacular.
The two generals used all their skills, the weapons in their hands changed constantly, and their moves and fighting styles were all wild and imaginative, and ever-changing.
The last move was still the giant axe splitting Huashan, but halfway through it changed into the long sword move of the Jade Girl Shuttle, and then turned around and used the long spear to return the horse...
The warriors were fascinated by the show and were shouting with excitement. They wished they could get the right to test the Ruyi Immortal Weapon immediately so that they could practice on the field and see to what extent this magical weapon could tap their potential.
As the saying goes, if you want to accomplish your task, you must first sharpen your tools. This fairy-grade nano-tech weapon is just like giving ancient craftsmen a complete set of modern power tools, maximizing the abilities of the heavenly soldiers and generals, even surpassing the peak limits of their martial arts level.
You should know that the standard immortal weapons distributed by the heavenly generals more or less come with some enchanted magical powers, and you can switch weapons at will, which means you can switch the magical powers attached to the weapons at will.
The more supernatural powers you can use, the more likely you are to find a way to defeat the enemy.
A Ruyi Immortal Weapon is equivalent to a hundred kinds of weapons, and comes with a hundred kinds of magical powers. Even if they are not high-level magical powers, they can be very effective if used properly.
"Emperor Wen, you seemed to have said just now that this new weapon will become the standard equipment of the heavenly soldiers and generals?"
A general could not hide his excitement and came up to Wen Rui and asked hesitantly.
“That’s indeed the idea.”
Wen Rui nodded, but then said with difficulty: "It's just that such a major event as changing the uniforms of the entire army still needs the approval of the Jade Emperor at the court meeting before it can be implemented. But..."
Wen Rui left the question halfway through his words, and stopped talking.
"but what?"
The heavenly soldiers and generals gathered around Wen Rui asked questions in unison.
"Whether the entire army should change their uniforms, His Majesty the Jade Emperor will certainly ask the commander of the 100,000 heavenly soldiers for his opinion."
Wen Rui spread his hands helplessly: "Some sycophants who are good at taking sides often oppose just for the sake of opposing. I'm sure they will reject it flatly on the grounds that the Ruyi Immortal Soldiers consume too much materials and that the victory of the heavenly soldiers and generals depends on loyalty, bravery and correct command, not on magic weapons."
The heavenly soldiers and generals suddenly looked gloomy, as if they had already guessed the result, which was that even if this change of equipment could greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the heavenly army, it would surely end in failure.
"Who knows, someone might even accuse me of corruption and abuse of power, wasting precious materials in the Tiangongjian warehouse and causing huge losses."
Wen Rui smiled bitterly and said, "I wish I could use this treasure as evidence to denounce me, and then strongly suggest that this item be banned, so that the soldiers won't rely too much on the magic weapon and slack off in their training."
In fact, Wen Rui engaged in massive corruption when developing and manufacturing the fairy-level nano units, resulting in huge losses.
Now that the experiment has finally succeeded, facing the empty Tiangongjian material warehouse, and seeing that the next batch of standard weapons ready to be delivered to the Tianjun will not be able to complete the order, Wen Rui has to find a reasonable excuse to whitewash himself.
Otherwise, before the Monkey King could settle the accounts, the fire dragon would burn the warehouse when he caused trouble in Heaven, and he would be exposed and fall from power.
