A t.i.tle Skill is powerful battle support provided by the System.

Up until now, every single t.i.tle Skill has been exceptionally strong, and Gu Qing Shan’s favorite was [You Ji General].

Gu Qing Shan chose to unlock it without hesitation.

Even if the cost is 50 Soul Points, he still needs to unlock it.

After going into Shen Wu world, he’s been through a few tough battles already, so he already acc.u.mulated quite a bit of Soul Points.

He checked the amount of Soul Points he has.

[Current Soul Points: 230/40]

He defeated demons stronger than himself quite a few times, so the amount of Soul Points has once again went past the maximum of 40.

“Spend Soul Points to unlock the t.i.tle” he said.

[You’ve spent 50 Soul Points to unlock the t.i.tle]

[t.i.tle: a.s.sa.s.sin]

[Description: You only need one strike to kill an enemy stronger than yourself]

[Equipping this t.i.tle will grant you the specialist Skill: Harvest (Intermediate)]

[Harvest (Intermediate): Whenever you kill an enemy in one hit, you’ll get back 60% of the spirit energy you used]

[Note: If you succeed another 5 instant kill on stronger enemies, you’ll unlock the advanced version of this rare t.i.tle]

Gu Qing Shan could feel his eyes lit up.

This is truly a Skill made for war, greatly increasing his durability in long, drawn out battles against a swarm of enemies.

“Five instant kills on stronger enemies…” he muttered.

Not only does it have to be stronger enemies, he also has to kill them in one hit, an exceptionally harsh condition to fulfil

———–I wonder what kind of effect the advanced version of the [a.s.sa.s.sin] t.i.tle would have.

Gu Qing Shan sighed, then slowly walked back into the military camp.

All the cultivators looked at him with respect, all clasping their fists.

“””Hail the General!”””

They loudly declared.

Using to strength of one person to cut off pursuit, it takes more than simply power.

If there were any Rejuvenation realm demons among those just now, doing what he did was basically suicide.

The part of Gu Qing Shan that’s worth their respect is being able to instantly recognize that there weren’t any Rejuvenation realm demons in the sea of demons, and then trust in his judgement enough to bet his own life and stop the demons in their tracks.

This shows absolute confidence in his own eyes.

Without bravery, without foresight, or without power, it couldn’t have been done without any of these.

Gu Qing Shan walked up and talked to the Zhao Wu chaplain receiving first aid: “What’s the situation?”

“Thank you General” the Zhao Wu chaplain responded, “I’m fine for now, but this man’s mind seems to be a bit hazy”

“Who is he?”

“This is a scout, responsible for investigating the frontline situation”

Gu Qing Shan looked at the other person.

He’s currently unconscious, his expression still showing a bit of a fright.

“How did he suddenly fall unconscious? Did he meet a Tianma?” he asked.

“He didn’t” the Zhao Wu chaplain’s expression was also a bit confused, “he’s an expert with the spear, during the last time he went out scouting, he found a long spear at a desolate and secluded place”

“And then what?” Gu Qing Shan suddenly felt some anxiety.

“Then he was curious, picked up the long spear and practiced a few moves, then suddenly fell unconscious” the Zhao Wu chaplain said.

Gu Qing Shan went silent.

My Thaumaturgy Quest requires me to also pick up a weapon.

But a frontline soldier suddenly fell into a coma like this as he picked up a weapon.

Just what’s going on?

“Are there any other people who picked up any weapons?”

“There aren’t any yet, sir”

“How strong is this man?”

“He’s our best scout”

“Is that so; watch him carefully, report if any situation arises”

Saying so, Gu Qing Shan made it way out of the camp.

“General, you’re leaving now?” the Zhao Wu chaplain was surprised.

“I’ve already rested enough; I need to keep doing my mission” Gu Qing Shan said.

It was now that the cultivators understood,

so the General only happened to pa.s.s by here, he still has his own mission to attend to.

Everyone silently clasped their fists.

Gu Qing Shan also clasped his fist in response, then left.

General Gong Sun’s camp is still quite far from here; he has to pick up his pace a bit.

After moving for a while, Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag, took out a map and checked his course.

Suddenly, his eyes saw a certain location on the map.

“How convenient, since it’s on the way, I’ll just pa.s.s by for a bit then”

His figured flashed as Gu Qing Shan disappeared from place.

Around twilight, he made it to another military camp.

After knowing that he came, Leng Tian Xing quickly went out to welcome him.

“Ah? You’re at Rejuvenation realm already?” Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.

“That’s right, though I ran into some trouble with the Heaven’s Tribulation and almost died” Leng Tian Xing wryly smiled.

“What happened?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Hah, during the last moments of the Tribulation, 5 bolts of Searing Flame Lightning appeared, they directly countered all of my Water Element spells and broke my concentration”

“But you still succeeded in the end”

“That’s all luck. Seriously, I still feel cold sweat thinking about it”

As they walked and talked, they went into Leng Tian Xing’s tent.

“General Leng, how does it feel to command a camp?” Gu Qing Shan teased him.

“Ahaha, it’s all thanks to you for bringing me with you during that spirit beast mission” Leng Tian Xing answered.

“What are your official orders?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Form a camp here, dispose of the demons and set up large formations”

“So it’s gaining ground to prepare for an extended war”

“That’s right, because we found a lot of minerals here”

“Minerals? What kind of ore?”

Leng Tian Xing listed out a few.

“They’re all very good materials for Smithing” Gu Qing Shan thought then said.

“That’s right, this world is very large, we’ve only managed to secure a really small area and we already got such a valuable find, so everyone’s in high spirits” Leng Tian Xing spoke.

“What orders did you get?” he asked Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan wryly smiled, thought about it, but decided not to tell him about the humiliating orders he got.

He couldn’t do anything but answered: “Hm ———-killing demons, the more strong demons I kill the better”

“You’re a sword cultivator so this mission seems to be appropriate” Leng Tian Xing nodded, then said: “We caught a few Golden Core realm demons a little bit ago. Just finished studying their signature demonic essence, but we didn’t clean them up yet, do you think it’ll count in your mission if I let you kill them?”

Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised, then happily responded: “It does, of course it does”

“Then that’s great, I’ll ask my subordinates to see how many of them are still alive” saying so, Leng Tian Xing went out.

A few moments later, Leng Tian Xing came back in and lead him to a secluded area in the camp.

Three demons were lying on the ground, pinned in place by the Demon Binding Chains on their body.

They were struggling as much as they could, but couldn’t manage to escape their shackles.

Scanning them, Gu Qing Shan found all three of these demons were Golden Core early stage.

“How did you catch them?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“We dispatched 10 Elemental cultivators, 10 Marital cultivators, 5 formation users and 2 sword cultivators” Leng Tian Xing answered.

“Cheh, it’s so much easier to do things when you have subordinates” Gu Qing Shan was a bit envious.

“Can I kill them now?” he turned and asked Leng Tian Xing.

“Of course, a few cultivators wanted to find where they create their miasma from, but failed. They’re left here because we haven’t gotten to killing them yet”

“Thank you”

Gu Qing Shan walked up, killed all three demons with one slash each.

He also cut off their claws as if he needed proof for military Merit.

A line of glowing text appeared on the War G.o.d UI.

[You’ve perfectly executed 3 instant kills, the targets are enemies at a higher realm than yourself, please do your best to complete 5 instant kills on stronger enemies to unlock the corresponding t.i.tle]

Only two more times to unlock the advanced version of the rare t.i.tle!

Gu Qing Shan turned around and looked at Leng Tian Xing.

As a perceptive person, Leng Tian Xing understood as soon as he saw the look on his face and asked: “Three isn’t enough?”

“It isn’t”

“How many more?”

“Two”

Leng Tian Xing went out, called two cultivators in and ordered.

“The same team as the time before, you guys prepare for a bit and go out again…” his voice came from outside.

Gu Qing Shan sighed and once again admired him greatly.

This is the advantage of having subordinates, he only needs to say a few words and others will quickly deal with it for him, there is no need to actually do it on his own.

This is the exact reason that before, when the three Saints were asking his thoughts, he kept insisting on wanting to lead troops.
