THE LEGEND OF THE SWORD GOD
V3 #CH 386 REPLACEMENT GENERAL
“To appoint a new General feels impossible in this short time because I have to look first at his ability to organize war strategy as well as his ability to organize troops,” said Emperor Long Jin while shaking his head.
“Then you have only one option: to appoint a replacement General. Remember, in this precarious state you absolutely cannot leave the Palace,” Divine Beast retorted Seiryu.
What Divine Beast Seiryu said was indeed true because Emperor Long Jin had absolutely no idea who was supporting General Long Yun's rebellion plan. They could all utilize this state to destroy the Blue Dragon Kingdom from within.
Emperor Long Jin instantly looked at Long Bao and held onto his shoulder. “Long Bao, you are a person I trust a lot because you are the husband of my daughter. Your prowess in leading is also beyond doubt as you have almost five years of being the Patriarch of the Celestial Dragon clan who has quite a number of branch clans. Therefore, I order you to become a temporary replacement General until I manage to find the new General.”
“Because this is an order, then I cannot refuse it. I'm willing to be a replacement General but only this time. After this matter is finished, it is better for Yuyin to be the temporary replacement General because she is the most good at organizing war strategies,” Long Bao replied.
“That's no problem. After General Long Yun was defeated, the state of the Blue Dragon Kingdom would return to peace for a while. It would not be a problem if Yuyin organized an army at that time because Yuyin also often trained the Royal soldiers who had more ability to become scout soldiers and Royal guards.”
Emperor Long Jin then took out all of the Dragon-shaped medallions made of blue Jade stone. He then turned to face the Royal soldiers to make an announcement.
“All warriors, listen to orders. From today on I will appoint Long Bao to be a temporary replacement General and stop General Long Yun from his post. You all must obey all the commands given Long Bao.”
All the Royal soldiers kowtowed while listening to Emperor Long Jin's words. They all answered compactly.
“We will obey all the orders of the Emperor. May the Emperor live a long life.”
Emperor Long Jin then gave the medal to Long Bao because it was proof that Long Bao now had a very special position in the Blue Dragon Kingdom because when someone saw them the medal, it was, it was just like he was looking at the Emperor.
Emperor Long Jin also lent the Mighty Dragon Gauge to Long Bao. “Take this heirloom weapon and use it when you fight General Long Yun. Since he was now an ally of the Demon Clan Kingdom, it was possible that the Devil nation had given him an heirloom weapon just like Long Sha.”
“But father, the moves I have are completely different from the type of elements possessed by the Mighty Dragon Goll,” replied Long Bao rejecting the subtle weapons.
“That's no problem. The Mighty Dragon Gauge was a god weapon that had an extremely powerful weapon spirit. The spirit weapon was even similar to a cultivator. He'll teach you lightning element moves when you use this heirloom machete. And as for the matter of the power of the lightning energy that you will use, this weapon spirit can also lend its lightning energy to you,” said Divine Beast Seiryu who was near them.
Long Bao immediately received the Mighty Dragon Gauge from Emperor Long Jin's hands after he heard the remark from Divine Beast Seiryu. And the weapon spirit that was inside the Mighty Dragon Gauge directly interacted with him when the heirloom Goll was in his hands.
Long Bao was instantly brought into his own Soul World by the weapon spirit of the Mighty Dragon Gauge.
“What is this place?!” long Bao said in surprise as this was the first time he had entered into his Soul World. Usually in just looking at this Soul World from the outside while he was doing meditation.
“This is your Soul World. You should've seen this place a lot while you were meditating but you might have seen this world in a different color, not as clear as this time when you entered yourself into this Soul World,” replied the Mighty Dragon Gutter Spirit weapon.
“Why did you suddenly bring me here?” long Bao asked.
“I will lend you the power of my lightning energy as long as the Mighty Dragon Gauge is in your hands,” replied the spirit of the Mighty Dragon Gorge weapon.
A ball of lightning energy as big as an adult's fist, instantly appeared on the spirit palm of the Mighty Dragon Gulok weapon. The weapon spirit then threw that ball of lightning energy into the sky that was within Long Bao Soul World.
The size of that energy ball, the longer it became increasingly enlarged as it rose into the sky. Until it became as big as the moon and flew right in the middle of the sky of Long Bao Soul World.
A cloud of cloud immediately appeared around that ball of lightning energy and turned the sky within this Soul World into a dark color like the color of the night sky with the rumbling sound of lightning that continued to strike endlessly.
“From now on, your body already has the power of the lightning element. You can combine the power of this lightning element with the ice element that you have will damage caused when you use your moves to get bigger,” exclaimed the spirit of the Mighty Dragon Gorge weapon.
Long Bao was a little confused as this was the first time he had seen such a bizarre occurrence. Especially when he spoke to the Mighty Dragon Gauge weapon spirit, he was like he was dreaming and could not believe everything that was before his eyes.
“Am I not dreaming?” said Long Bao while looking at the mighty Dragon Gauge weapon spirit standing in front of him.
The Mighty Dragon Gutter weapon spirit directly pointed at Long Bao with its index finger and struck Long Bao's chest with an extremely powerful lightning energy attack, to make Long Bao's body bounce very far and land in a pile of very thick snow.
Long Bao immediately stood up with a body that felt a little tingling due to the flurry of lightning energy that just now was like dozens of tiny needles that pierced through the surface of his skin.
The weapon spirit from the Mighty Dragon Gulok looked at Heilong with a grin while raising his right hand which was already enveloped with an extremely powerful lightning energy.
Long Bao directly waved both of his hands forward. “No.. No, I already believe that all this is not a dream. But what style will we use when we combine forces?”
“Try you imagine the movements of your strongest moves turned into sculptures made of ice,” exclaimed the mighty Dragon weapon spirit gave the order.
A fairly strong snowstorm instantly occurred in this place as Long Bao began to concentrate and imagine his strongest moves.
A moment later, the snowflakes in this place formed movements of a style similar to the movements in Long Bao's mind.
Long Bao was shocked when he saw this. “Who made that ice sculpture. Why does every statue have the movement of the moves I'm thinking about.”
“This Soul World is connected to your soul, body and mind. Therefore, when you imagine this movement of style to be an ice sculpture, then all of it will be realized as you see it in front of you at this time,” is clearly the spirit of the Mighty Dragon Gorge weapon.
The Mighty Dragon Gutter weapon spirit then raised both of its hands to the sky. And a great deal of lightning strikes directly descended from the sky and rained down on this place, then made the motion statues a stance made of lightning.
“Is this the movement of the combined moves of the two of us?” long Bao asked pointing towards the statues.
“True. It was the combined movement of the ice element and the lightning element. Since you have already entered into this Soul World, from now on you can freely enter into this Soul World as you please to learn this style,” reply Mighty Dragon Golok weapon spirit.
“I don't know how to get into this place. Wasn't it you alone who brought me into my Soul World,” Long Bao replied.
“You just simply concentrate your concentration like a person who will do meditation to be able to enter this place,” replied the spirit of the Mighty Dragon Gauge weapon.
“Revealed just that easy. Then I'll leave first from here to organize the troops. I will return again to this place when the troops have traveled to the Blue Jade Palace.”
Long Bao immediately came out from within his Soul World.
Emperor Long Jin and Divine Beast Seiryu who saw that Long Bao's consciousness had already returned, immediately smiled.
“How did you travel in your Soul World. Did you get anything good to learn?” asked Divine Beast Seiryu with a smile full of mystery.
“The spirit of the weapon gave me a combined stance of ice energy and lightning energy. I'll learn that style on the way to the Blue Jade Palace. Now I have to organize an army to get there faster,” Long Bao replied.
“Please arrange this army as you please. I cannot accompany you here for too long because I must return to the Palace and make security for the residents. Because when you fight, most likely your energy will reach the residential area.”
Emperor Long Jin and Divine Beast Seiryu immediately left the Blue Dragon Forest to prepare a security around the territory of the Royal Palace.
Long Bao directly divided all the remaining troops into groups so that they could more easily pass through this forest and soon arrive at the Blue Jade Palace.

The Underwater World.
Heilong finally managed to complete his training after two hours under the influence of Li Ziqi's time law stance.
The blue-coloured aura emanating from his body became increasingly powerful and almost matched the aura of his lightning energy. This was the aura of water element energy that for these two years had continued to be trained very hard by Heilong within the Time Freezing Technique.
“Are you ready to fight the crab king now? if you are not sure yet to defeat him, then I can give you an additional time of about three hours,” asked Li Ziqi.
“It seems like this alone is enough. I have mastered five of the nine styles in the Water Element Book that Master gave,” replied Heilong.
“So you didn't study the other book at all?” li Ziqi asked.
“No. When I opened this water element book. I found a lot of moves in it and each one of these moves could cause enormous damage. So I decided to focus on learning this style but I was only able to master five moves,” replied Heilong.
