However, it must be admitted that Lord Shouzhe’s words do have some truth. This is the highest honor of the [Fifth New Recruit Training Camp], enough to be engraved into history as a glorious achievement, surpassing the honor left by Lord Wang Chuanwu by many times.

If we can contact the leadership, they certainly won’t be stingy.

"Sister, if you can make the decision on this matter, please help our family." Under the hint from his great-grandfather, Wang Anye began to act cute and coquettish, "Our family is too poor, and my great-grandmother has a hard time achieving a first clear. Of course, all this must be within the jurisdiction allowed by sister, otherwise, it would not be good for sister to face punishment."

Wang Anye’s words are true, and with Sister Artifact Spirit’s care over these days, he’s developed quite the affection for her. He doesn’t want her to encounter danger for stubbornly helping the Wang Family.

"Little brother Anye is really sweet. Even though this is a bit risky, Young Master Ruolan is a future pillar of humanity, and if the first clear honor comes from our recruit camp, the leadership will also approve." The Artifact Spirit said, "Let me first apply to report to leadership."

After a while, the Artifact Spirit said: "Leadership has not responded... This makes it very difficult for me to decide."

"Miss Artifact Spirit." Wang Shouzhe said, "Generally speaking, if leadership does not respond, it is tacit approval. How about this, you can give us the reward first. If leadership later opposes, we can return the prize to them. If even this is not agreeable, our whole family will lodge a complaint with the military department to transfer military status and honor to another recruit training camp."

"Believe me, in the first, second, or perhaps ninth, tenth recruit training camps, there’ll always be wise leadership."

Actually, Wang Shouzhe has no idea where the other camps are, and as for the military department, even more irrelevant. But he believes saying this will definitely pressure the Artifact Spirit.

Sure enough, the Artifact Spirit’s voice became a bit anxious: "Lord Shouzhe, please do not act impulsively. This honor belongs to our [Fifth New Recruit Training Camp]. As you said, as long as the camp first clear reward is given to you, if the leadership objects, we can return it; anyhow, your future is infinite, do not lose big for small."

"Therefore, next, I will initiate wartime emergency protocol. According to military department rules, when the camp cannot contact a responsible party and the situation is extremely urgent, the Artifact Spirit can open the emergency channel, temporarily taking over the highest authority of the camp for a period of time, but a petition letter must be supplemented later to clearly state the specific situation. If the stated reasons are insufficient and the evidence not detailed enough, and leadership above suspects Artifact Spirit of embezzlement, I could be formatted. When the leadership sends someone down to examine and confirm the situation, you must certainly testify for me." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"That’s a given."

Wang Shouzhe naturally agreed straightforwardly.

Regardless, the so-called "leadership" of the Artifact Spirit had long ceased to exist, so naturally, whatever the Artifact Spirit said, he would respond accordingly.

Simultaneously, he could not help but feel some emotion. Unexpectedly, during the Divine Martial Dynasty period, the control of Artifact Spirits was rather strict, which was a bit different from what he imagined. He originally thought bluffing the Artifact Spirit was enough, unexpectedly he had to exploit loopholes in Divine Martial Dynasty’s rules.

He didn’t know how the Artifact Spirit was managed, but after a while, the Artifact Spirit’s voice sounded again: "Alright, the first clear reward setting of this camp’s eighth stage is complete. Young Master Ruolan can choose either the Immortal Spirit Bio-Beast - Kun Egg (Unique), or the Blank Artifact Spirit Dao Artifact - Legion Commander’s Sword (Unique) as the first clear reward from this camp."

Success!

Wang Shouzhe felt immense delight in his heart.

At that time, he didn’t propose the loophole promptly after discovering it, precisely so that Ruolan could encompass the entire camp’s first clear honor, and then negotiate with the Artifact Spirit. This way, perhaps he could obtain better rewards.

Sure enough, he succeeded!

However, next, Wang Shouzhe started feeling a bit conflicted again.

Should he take a Young Kun or a Dao Artifact? Both are top-grade treasures, missing either might lead to lifelong regret.

So, he passed the choice to the clan members.

Yet, within one incense stick’s time, he began regretting it. Because when it came to choosing between a Young Kun or a Dao Artifact, the clan members, in their discussions, gradually split into two factions.

Wang Shouyong’s opinion: "Our Wang Family has many Celestial Prides and Great Celestial Prides. Plus, there are constantly new children being born. Those with talent and opportunity need proper nurturing. Given our Wang Family’s current economic strength, supporting them alone is already difficult. We must also continue expanding our industries in the future. The legendary Kun has an immense body size and surely eats a lot, feeding it properly will be tough, not to mention the enormous consumption, and its growth won’t be fast enough to repay the cost in the short term, possibly impacting the development of children within the clan. I do not recommend choosing the Kun."

"Indeed, it’s better to choose the Blank Artifact Spirit Dao Artifact." Wang Shou Lian also seemed uninterested in the Kun, "With fourth sister-in-law at the sixth layer of Sacred Body bloodline already, she can barely exert part of the Dao Artifact’s power. If she breakthrough to Purple Mansion Realm and reaches the Seventh-Layer Immortal Spirit Body stage, her combat power will surely be astonishing. Kun, who knows how long it will take to raise."

"But, isn’t the Kun so adorable?" Wang Luojing rubbed the newly acquired Divine Power Spirit Treasure Insect Flute in her palm, the depths of her eyes glinting, "Furthermore, it has enough potential to ascend to a Tier Thirteen Immortal Beast. Once successfully raised, our Wang Family could stand atop the world, fearing no other power’s threat."
