World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others

Chapter 309: Du Ge is best at creating momentum

Maybe it was the motivation to ascend to the celestial realm and become a heavenly being, or perhaps it was the desire to see if Wu Chang's claims about his rapid skill acquisition were true.

Du Ge, like a true native, genuinely passed on the Dragon Fang organization's internal energy techniques and martial arts moves to Wu Chang.

However, Wu Chang, having previously weakened himself, only managed to recover from a minor wound after a single display of bravery. He had no other opportunities to showcase his valor, and his attributes showed little growth. His progress in learning internal energy was slow.

Du Ge cast a disdainful glance at him without hesitation, fully embodying the mindset of a native.

Wu Chang, knowing his own situation, awkwardly explained, "Princess, Mr. He, don't worry. I just haven't had the chance to show my bravery. When the princess faces a crisis, and I grow a few more times, my cultivation speed will naturally increase."

Luo Shuang glanced at him without speaking, but couldn't hide her disappointment.

Compared to Du Ge, this guy was indeed lacking. If they wanted to restore their kingdom, they would have to rely on her master.

Hoping to use him to balance her master seemed futile.

Du Ge smiled and covered for Wu Chang, "Princess, don't be too disappointed. Wu Chang's ability to memorize the internal energy routes in one go is already far beyond the average person. When I first learned these skills, it took me several days just to get started!"

"Yes, I trust my master's judgment." Luo Shuang looked at Wu Chang and comforted him, "Mr. Wu, don't be discouraged. There will eventually be a place for you to showcase your skills."

A tiger fallen to the plains is bullied by dogs!

He had to find a way to boost his attributes, or he would remain too passive.

Wu Chang sighed inwardly and cupped his fists, "Thank you, Princess, for your understanding."

Luo Shuang nodded at him and then turned to Du Ge, "Master, where are we going next?"

"Dragon Fang," Du Ge replied. "There's no point in being on guard against Dragon Fang's assassinations all the time. Instead of constantly defending, we should eliminate Dragon Fang first, remove this hidden threat, and then make other plans."

At the mention of Dragon Fang, Luo Shuang's expression changed dramatically, "Just the three of us?"

"Don't worry, Princess," Du Ge said. "Previously, I wasn't confident. But now, with Wu Chang joining us, I have a fifty percent chance of taking down Dragon Fang. Over the years, I've been undercover in Dragon Fang and have some confidence in turning Dragon Fang to our side. Their intelligence network is widespread and could help us gather information on the Heavenly Demon and quickly grasp the situation in various places..."

"Him?" Luo Shuang frowned as she looked at Wu Chang.

"Wu Chang's martial skills are indeed lacking, but what I need is his extraordinary recovery ability," Du Ge explained. "At critical moments, as long as he can take a few hits for me, I have a chance to capture Dragon Fang's leader."

Damn!

Wu Chang cursed inwardly. They really were treating him as a human shield!

However, considering the current situation, he couldn't find any other way to promote the Keywords. He couldn't just storm the city gates; that would indeed be brave but would also expose him.

Taking down Dragon Fang was indeed an opportunity...

Wu Chang stepped forward without hesitation, "Mr. He is right. I'll take the lead in attacking Dragon Fang and can shield Mr. He from blades. The bravery will allow me to grow rapidly, which is beneficial for me.

But there's one thing I must clarify in advance. The mortal body is fragile. If someone cuts off my limbs, I ask Mr. He to shield me. Although my recovery speed is fast, I can't reattach limbs. If my head is cut off, I'll be forced to return to the celestial realm, so my head must not be injured..."

Du Ge looked at Wu Chang, his eyes filled with disappointment, as if saying, "So much for celestial beings." He shook his head, "Rest assured, I'll save you at critical moments."

Wu Chang clenched his fist secretly in his sleeve, feeling extremely aggrieved and increasingly resentful of the warriors who controlled Chongming Kingdom. If it weren't for them, he wouldn't have fallen to this point, being looked down upon by two fallen natives.

Moreover, this He Xu was also very annoying.

Once he grew stronger, he would definitely twist off his head first.

To the celestial realm, I'll send you directly to heaven...

...

Next.

Du Ge didn't enter the city. Instead, he led Luo Shuang and Wu Chang straight to the Dragon Fang base.

He had to seize the time to build his foundation.

Relying solely on inciting peasant uprisings was too inefficient.

However.

Although their target was Dragon Fang, Du Ge didn't forget to continue recruiting followers for the princess.

After understanding the world's situation, Du Ge purposefully spread various pieces of information through the big landlords and wealthy men he recruited.

...

Duke Dingguo's usurpation and the Heavenly Demon's descent were heaven's punishment for Duke Dingguo, meant to disrupt his rule;

...

It was said that when Duke Dingguo usurped the throne and slaughtered the Qingwu Kingdom's royal family, a fierce wind arose when he reached the Fourth Princess, blinding the rebel soldiers, and the princess was swept away by the wind;

Duke Dingguo sent soldiers to pursue her, but when they reached the South River, the princess was cornered. A thick fog suddenly arose, and a white horse emerged from the fog, carrying the princess across the river and escaping the pursuers.

Afterward, the pursuers found that the steed in the shrine of the Divine Martial General had turned into a puddle of mud;

The princess crossed the river on a mud horse, a sign that her destiny was not yet over.

Now, the Fourth Princess has already borrowed a troop of elite soldiers in Chongming Kingdom to avenge her father and brothers and seeks to recruit celestial beings as generals.

If celestial beings from all over assist the princess in reclaiming the kingdom, she will use the power of Qingwu Kingdom to sweep away the Heavenly Demon and save the human world together;

...

How could a woman be heaven's chosen one?

A woman leading troops is like a hen crowing at dawn, disrupting the natural order. If the Fourth Princess defeats Duke Dingguo, it will surely lead to chaos in the world;

...

The Fourth Princess seeks revenge for her father and brothers and does not covet the throne. If anyone helps her restore the kingdom, she will offer herself in marriage and, after giving birth to a prince with the surname Luo, will withdraw from the throne...

...

One piece of information after another spread out, some positive, some negative, with controversial topics, such as a hen crowing at dawn and whether the princess's child would still be considered royal blood.

These hot topics sparked much discussion.

People eagerly debated with each other, causing a great uproar in Chongming Kingdom.

Wherever Du Ge and his companions went, rumors spread.

The Fourth Princess's reputation even began to overshadow that of the Heavenly Demon.

After all.

There were too few Alien Star warriors, and a city couldn't even get a few of them. Under such pressure, most people didn't dare to stand out.

Over time, the public lost interest in the Heavenly Demon.

Rather than focusing on the Heavenly Demon, they were more interested in how the Fourth Princess would avenge her father and brothers.

The stories of the Fourth Princess's miraculous rescues and her crossing the river on a mud horse were as thrilling as the legendary tales told by storytellers.

This time.

Although the Fourth Princess herself was still absent from the martial world, her legends were everywhere.

...

Witnessing Du Ge's maneuvers, Wu Chang grew increasingly impressed with his cunning. With just himself and a group of wealthy men, Du Ge had stirred up a storm, utilizing the current situation to its fullest.

Unfortunately, there were no troops to use.

If he had an army, he might have already reclaimed Qingwu Kingdom.

At this moment, Wu Chang was more convinced that the princess's quest to restore the kingdom might be one of the main storylines.

And this cunning He Xu played a very important role in it.

However.

Wu Chang didn't have much resentment towards Du Ge's actions.

The setup of celestial beings and demons fighting was part of their planet's simulation field, a scenario for a candidate's test.

Most of the people who knew this setup were warriors from their planet, and anyone who used this excuse to approach Luo Shuang was undoubtedly one of their own.

When the time came, he could use He Xu as an excuse to verify the newcomer's identity and see if they could cooperate.

After all.

He Xu's disruptive actions were quite like those of an Alien Star warrior, and having him take the blame temporarily wouldn't arouse suspicion...
