Chapter 913 Imperial Preceptors Aren’t Good People, I’m Not That Strong (2)

"Do I need an identity?" Zhou Shu asked back.

"I've heard someone say before that if the title is not right, the words will not be proper. Without a status, I'm worried it will be inconvenient when you do things," the Giant Spirit King said.

"Isn't that simple?" Ji Lutian interrupted. "I'll be the imperial preceptor., and Zhou Shu will be the deputy imperial preceptor."

Zhou Shu was speechless. F*ck your deputy imperial preceptor.

"Imperial preceptor?" The Giant Spirit King pondered. "There are also imperial preceptors among the large races…"

"No," Zhou Shu said firmly. Imperial preceptor? In his impression, imperial preceptors were not good people.

He was not willing to be an imperial preceptor.

"I don't need any title from the giant spirit race," Zhou Shu said with a cold expression. "Giant Spirit King, we're only working together. You have to understand this.

"Working together means that I won't take advantage of your giant spirit race. Similarly, don't even think about taking advantage of me. It's impossible for me to work for the giant spirit race for free.

"It's a fair deal, understand?"

"I understand." Disappointment flashed across the eyes of the Giant Spirit King. It seemed it was impossible to hide his little plan from Zhou Shu.

"When will our cooperation—deal begin?" The Giant Spirit King looked at Zhou Shu expectantly.

"Are you that anxious to become stronger?" Zhou Shu looked at the Giant Spirit King.

"Brother Zhou Shu, I have to be anxious," the Giant Spirit King said in embarrassment. "It's really because the asura race and the black feather race haven't given up. They might attack at any time. With the current strength of our giant spirit race, we can't withstand their joint attack at all."

"That's true." Zhou Shu nodded. He sized up the Giant Spirit King. "Giant Spirit King, how strong are you?"

"I'm not that strong." Giant Spirit King blushed slightly. "Any warrior of the large races is stronger than me."

"There's no need to say that. I want to know how strong you are so that I can think of a way to make you stronger." Zhou Shu shook his head. "Try moving something."

"Move something?" The Giant Spirit King was in a difficult position. He looked around, and his gaze landed on a small mountain in the distance.

The next moment, he ran over.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the Giant Spirit King lifted a thousand-foot-tall mountain peak. Rocks fell, and giant spirits cheered.

"What a freak," Ji Lutian couldn't help muttering. Moving mountains and overturning seas was not difficult for his cultivation, but he was far from being able to do this with his physical strength alone.

The Giant Spirit King didn't have any spiritual essence cultivation at all. But with the strength of his body, he could do something that only Grotto-Heaven realm experts could do. If he wasn't a freak, what was he?

Wasn't this considered strong?

Zhou Shu was also shocked. He had seen the Giant Spirit King fight the Asura King and the Black Feather King, but he was still a little shocked to see the Giant Spirit King lifting the mountain.

Even he, who cultivated the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, was far inferior to the Giant Spirit King's physical strength.

Just with his brute strength, he could definitely become an expert in the future.

"Okay!" Zhou Shu shouted.

Boom!

With another loud bang, the Giant Spirit King put down the mountain and strode back.

When he returned to Zhou Shu, the Giant Spirit King wasn't even out of breath.

"Giant Spirit King, even with your strength, any warrior from the large races is stronger than you?" Zhou Shu said.

"Not just any of them." Unlike Ji Lutian, the Giant Spirit King didn't like to brag. "But there are indeed many people stronger than me. Even the Asura King's strength is not inferior to mine."

"Okay." Zhou Shu nodded. "I roughly know your strength.

"You're slightly stronger than the Asura King, but the Asura King's ten nails are extremely sharp and can easily tear through your skin and muscles. And it's very difficult for your fists to break through the Asura King's defense.

"If you have a sharp weapon, it won't be difficult for you to defeat the Asura King."

The Giant Spirit King nodded. "It's indeed very difficult for me to hurt the Asura King. If I had a weapon like the one you cut off the Asura King's nails with, I'm confident that I can make him suffer a huge loss!"

The Giant Spirit King looked envious, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"I can't give you the Celestial Thearch Sword." Zhou Shu shook his head. "Even if I give it to you, you won't be able to unleash its power since you don't understand sword techniques."

How could Zhou Shu give the Celestial Thearch Sword to the Giant Spirit King? The Celestial Thearch Sword was Zhou Shu's only grotto-heaven divine weapon. If he obtained any precious forging materials in the future, he would have to rely on the Celestial Thearch Sword to store them.

Moreover, it was indeed as he said. The Giant Spirit King didn't have any spiritual essence cultivation and didn't know any sword techniques. The Celestial Thearch Sword was truly unable to unleash its greatest power in his hands.

A sword was a little too exquisite and not suitable for the Giant Spirit King.

He should use large and powerful weapons. It would be best if spiritual essence wasn't needed to support the weapons.

However, connate divine weapons were born for martial artists. Without spiritual essence, it was impossible to activate them.

Standard weapons didn't require much spiritual essence, but the power of standard weapons was simply insufficient for giant spirits to use, and it was impossible for standard weapons to injure ancient races with inborn advantages.

If this problem couldn't be resolved, it would be a fool's dream to use divine weapons to quickly increase the strength of the giant spirit race.

Of course, there was another solution—letting the giant spirit race cultivate spiritual essence. As long as they cultivated spiritual essence, it would naturally be easy for them to use connate divine weapons.

But cultivating spiritual essence wasn't something that could be done in a day.

Zhou Shu pondered. I'll give him a connate divine weapon first. Even if he can't unleash its full power, it's better than nothing. I'll let him cultivate his spiritual essence later. His strength will always increase.

"Giant Spirit King, I already understand your situation. I need a place to think about it."

"I'll vacate my room. Both of you can stay in it. I'll give orders that no clansmen are allowed to disturb you," the Giant Spirit King said without hesitation.

"There's no need. There's nothing good about your room. Just help me find an empty space," Zhou Shu said casually.

Although the Giant Spirit King was the king of a race, the house he lived in was not much different from those of ordinary giant spirits. What privacy could there be in a shed with leaks everywhere?

"Brother Zhou Shu, you want to build a house yourself?" the Giant Spirit King said. "I'll get Cang Bai and the others to help you."

Zhou Shu smiled without saying anything. "Is there an open space?"

"Yes!" the Giant Spirit King said. "There's still a large open space behind the stronghold. I originally wanted to build more houses there after there were more clansmen…"

The Giant Spirit King pointed behind the stronghold.

Zhou Shu nodded. Being behind the stronghold, when enemies invaded the giant spirit race, they wouldn't be the first to bear the brunt.

This was in line with Zhou Shu's requirements. He didn't want to fight for the giant spirit race. After all, his ultimate goal in staying with them was to return.

"Over there is fine." Zhou Shu took a step forward and arrived in the open space. The Giant Spirit King and the others were stunned. This speed was really beyond their imagination.

The next moment, the shock in their hearts was replaced by something else. Everyone's eyes widened, and their mouths could fit a mountain.

The Giant Spirit King's body swayed, and he almost sat on the ground.

He saw an incomparably glorious and exquisite palace appear in the air with a bang and land on the open space.

The Giant Spirit King had never seen such an exquisite and glorious house in his life!
