Reincarnated As A Fox With System

Chapter 1182: Choosing the Ghost General’s Candidate!

Xi’er was the one who trained the ghost army inside the [Sword of Disaster], so she understood each ghost in the ghost army pretty well.

It did not take long for Xi’er to choose the best one among the ghost army.

Xi’er brought the ghost soldier out of the [Sword of Disaster] and showed him to Tang Li Xue.

"Oh, this is the ghost you chose to be the ghost general?" Tang Li Xue asked as she examined the ghost carefully from head to toe.

Tang Li Xue had to admit that the ghost Xi’er chose was quite good-looking and valiant.

The ghost’s handsome and heroic appearance matched quite well with Zhao Zilong’s image in Tang Li Xue’s imagination.

"This ghost soldier may not be the oldest one among the ghost army, but he should be the most talented and clever one among them. Even the other ghosts admit it and respect him very much." Xi’er explained to Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue nodded in approval.

"Okay, if you think he is the most suitable one to become the ghost general, then you can give the armor and sword to him." Tang Li Xue let Xi’er decide it.

Tang Li Xue was not very familiar with the ghost army after all.

She only provided all the training resources and gave them all to Xi’er, then Xi’er distributed the training resources to the ghost army accordingly.

Xi’er nodded as she handed over the black armor and the black sword to the chosen ghost soldier.

The chosen ghost soldier accepted the black armor and the black sword, then knelt loyally to Tang Li Xue and Xi’er while saying: "This humble subordinate swears that he will be eternally loyal and live up to the leader’s expectation!"

Tang Li Xue smiled even brighter as she replied: "We hope you can live up to this armor and sword and truly become a much more formidable general than the previous general who wore them."

"Don’t worry, leader! I swear to never betray your expectations!" The chosen ghost soldier shouted in a firm tone.

"What is your name?" Tang Li Xue asked.

"Report to the leader, this humble subordinate’s name is Da Niu (Big Ox)." The chosen ghost soldier answered politely.

Tang Li Xue’s pink lips twitched slightly when she heard the chosen ghost soldier’s name.

It would be too embarrassing if this Da Niu went to war in her name after it became a great ghost general and shouted his name in the war in the future.

Tang Li Xue immediately decided to change the chosen ghost soldier’s name right now!

"That name is not suitable to be used by the great ghost general. It is not intimidating enough, so I have decided to give you a new name." Tang Li Xue stated to the chosen ghost soldier.

The chosen ghost soldier’s eyes were shining brightly as if he was really looking forward to it.

Tang Li Xue pinched her fair, smooth chin and pondered it carefully for a while.

In fact, Tang Li Xue really wanted to name him Yang Jian or Erlang Shen, but she quickly denied it since it would be impolite to give such a famous deity’s name to an unknown ghost soldier.

’Err, Nezha is also not bad... Or maybe Guan Yu?’ Many famous generals’ names flashed in Tang Li Xue’s mind.

Nezha was the marshal of the celestial army, which should be equal to Yang Jian, so giving Nezha’s name to the unknown ghost soldier was also too disrespectful in Tang Li Xue’s opinion.

Guan Yu was known as the God of War, but he was using a large halberd called Green Dragon Crescent Blade, not a sword, so he was also not suitable for the Ghost Soldier.

In the end, Tang Li Xue decided to stop thinking and gave the name that came into her mind since the first time she saw the chosen ghost soldier.

"From now on, your name will be Zhao Zilong. I hope you can live up to this name and become the greatest general in the future." Tang Li Xue announced.

"This humble subordinate thanks the leader’s kindness in giving me such a great name!" The chosen ghost soldier, or he should be called Zhao Zilong, happily thanked Tang Li Xue.

Zhao Zilong began to wear the black armor and hold the black sword under Xi’er’s instruction.

RUMBLE—! RUMBLE—! RUMBLE—! RUMBLE—!

The dense, malevolent aura and terrifying, concentrated killing intent, combined with the condensed undead energy from the black armor and black sword, began to seep into Zhao Zilong’s ghost body!

Zhao Zilong gritted his teeth and refused to groan or make any sound in pain.

Tang Li Xue frowned deeply in worry when she saw Zhao Zilong’s painful expression.

"You do not need to be too worried, Sister Xue. The process might be very painful, and it should also take a while, but as long as we provide enough resources, he will surely become a strong and formidable ghost general later." Xi’er said in a reassuring tone.

Tang Li Xue’s pink lips twitched slightly again when she heard Xi’er mention resources.

No matter if it was Yaya, Little Loki, Lucia, or Xi’er, all of them always asked for plenty of cultivation resources from her.

That was the reason why Tang Li Xue always thought that no matter how many resources she had, it would never be enough to feed her entire team.

Without any other choices, Tang Li Xue could only give all the resources needed by Zhao Zilong to complete his transformation process.

"How long would it take for him to complete the transformation process and merge with the armor and sword?" Tang Li Xue asked Xi’er curiously.

Xi’er shook her head and replied: "I also do not know. Maybe it would take several months, or even a few years. Anyway, the time inside this pagoda is ten times longer than the outside, so it should not be too long as long as he stays inside the pagoda."

Xi’er added again by saying: "However, the longer the transformation process, the better it would be for him. Because it means he could get more insight and even comprehend the Profound Laws that had been mastered by the previous Demonized General."

"What?! He can comprehend the Profound Laws mastered by the previous Demonized General?! Really?!" Tang Li Xue widened her topaz blue eyes in surprise.

The Demonized General actually mastered four Profound Laws: Profound Laws of Sword, Death, Darkness, and Destruction.

Tang Li Xue did not have much hope that Zhao Zilong could fully master all four Profound Laws, but at least, he should be able to fully comprehend two advanced Profound Laws, right?

Xi’er nodded her head, but then, she made a circle sign with her fingers.

The confused Tang Li Xue asked in an oblivious tone: "What does that mean?"

"It means you have to add more resources if you want him to master more Profound Laws in the end." Xi’er smiled and explained to Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue: "?!"

Tang Li Xue widened her topaz eyes in disbelief and thought that Xi’er was getting more and more like a gold digger.

Tang Li Xue gritted her pearl-white teeth and secretly wondered who Xi’er had learned that bad habit from, and Tang Li Xue really wanted to beat the person who taught the innocent Xi’er such a bad habit.

Then Tang Li Xue could only sigh helplessly and said: "All right, I get it... I will gather more resources later."

"Oh, right... Have you fully mastered the Profound Law of Earth yet?" Tang Li Xue asked Xi’er curiously.

Previously, Tang Li Xue had given a lot of [Stone Heart Gem] to Xi’er, so she could fully master the Profound Law of Earth as quickly as possible.

"Uhh, not yet. I have been busy managing the ghost army lately." Xi’er answered while blushing in embarrassment.

Tang Li Xue frowned in worry and decided to remind Xi’er: "I know that you care about the ghost army very much, but increasing our strength should still be our top priority because the danger and opponents we will face in the Central Continent later should be much stronger than now."

"I know, I know... I will definitely master the Profound Law of Earth as soon as possible." Xi’er nodded her head and replied to Tang Li Xue guiltily.

Tang Li Xue even suspected that the reason Xi’er did not appear in the bad future shown by the [Death Vision Card] was because something had happened to her and her ghost army before the time of Tang Li Xue’s death.

"Then, how about Zhao Zilong? You do not plan to guard him all the time, right?" Tang Li Xue asked Xi’er suspiciously.

"Of course not~! I will just throw him into the [Sword of Disaster] and order the ghost soldiers to look after him for me." Xi’er hastily shook her head and denied it, then she explained her plan to Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue sighed in relief after she heard Xi’er’s answer.

Tang Li Xue never doubted Xi’er’s words because the environment inside the [Sword of Disaster] was filled with dense Yin Energy, Darkness Energy, and Death Energy, which should be extremely beneficial for Zhao Zilong’s transformation.

There were more than a thousand ghost soldiers, who were practicing inside the [Sword of Disaster], so there should not be a problem for them to take turns in guarding Zhao Zilong.

After reminding Xi’er once again to practice diligently in a firm tone, Tang Li Xue left the Earth Floor and returned to the Water Floor.

She secretly looked forward to Zhao Zilong successfully completing his transformation and becoming a full-fledged ghost general because it meant she would get another capable subordinate to help her face all the dangers in the Central Continent.

Tang Li Xue felt that her bleak future had become even brighter and more hopeful as the new capable teammates, such as Shuang’er and Zhao Zilong, appeared one by one on her side.

A relieved and delightful smile bloomed on Tang Li Xue’s stunningly beautiful face before she took the [Mystic Shadow Lotus Spirit Orb] from her space pouch and began to slowly refine the energy inside it.
