I’m Leveling Up Too Quickly Chapter 35 – Someone Used Poison

Chapter 35 Someone Used Poison

After leaving the Crown Prince’s chamber, Zhu Libo asked immediately, “Commander Wei, did you discover Zhu Wuyang’s true strength?”

“He’s at the mid-stage of Tendons Refinement. His foundation is considered stable, but he’s still far from breaking through. He can’t compare to Your Highness,” Commander Wei said seriously.

Zhu Libo smiled and nodded. “That’s good. I’m relieved.”

Zhu Libo was not too happy upon hearing this expected news. Next, his focus was still on dealing with the doubts of the Mad Emperor, Zhu Zhenwu. He wanted to live as long as possible until the day the Mad Emperor died.

After all, Mad Emperor Zhu Zhenwu was already more than 100 years old. Previously, he had even suffered from Qi Deviation and suffered some problems with his mind. He might be finished at any time.

For a Perfected Xiantian martial artist, one’s lifespan usually did not exceed 150 years. Zhu Zhenwu was only about 10 years away from the end of his lifespan.

Moreover, 150 years old was only the lifespan that Zhu Zhenwu could have in an ideal state. However, Zhu Zhenwu was not in an ideal state now. He might even not be able to hold on for another month and suddenly die.

At most… it shouldn’t be more than five more years!

As long as he survived these five years, with the power and influence Zhu Libo possessed, there was a high chance of him becoming the Emperor. He only hoped that before the Mad Emperor Zhu Zhenwu died, he could kill a few more Princes and Princesses of the same level as him. That would be the best.

Next, he had to think of a way to frame that pig, Zhu Wensi. It would be best if he could force him to reveal a flaw. He would be able to deal with another great enemy.

After Zhu Libo left, more Princes and Princesses came to visit him not long after. These people’s goal was the same as Zhu Libo and Zhang Mingli. They hoped that he would be a good shield and not cause so much trouble and waste everyone’s efforts.

However, in order to let Zhu Wuyang, their shield, work well, they did not say it out loud. They even pretended to be concerned and comforted him.

However, because of Zhu Wuyang’s intelligence, he saw through the true colors of these people. Naturally, it brought him a lot of trouble.

It is not good to be too smart these days.

Zhu Wuyang lay on the bed and continued to be a quiet shut-in. He continued cultivating the Azure Dragon Concealment Art bitterly… enduring the impact of the breakthrough points… be woken up by the system when he was sleeping… Passing through day after day like this meaningfully.

It was just that Zhu Wuyang felt extremely aggrieved with such a lifestyle since he was a fitness enthusiast who used to like to travel around instead of staying in bed every day. However, in the face of life and death, this bit of bitterness did not seem to be much.

When he was on Earth, Zhu Wuyang was very envious of the children who had parents. He felt that they were very happy, while he was just an orphan. He could only feel his own existence when he trained his body, temporarily getting rid of that lonely feeling.

However, after transmigrating and really having a father and a bunch of stepmothers, Zhu Wuyang suddenly felt that it was better to be an orphan.

If he was still an orphan now, he could use the Extraordinary Encounters System as much as he wants… he could increase his strength at an astonishing speed, possess extraordinary strength, and roam the world.

However, because he was the Crown Prince of the Jiu Zhao Nation, he had no choice but to suffer such hardships. He could not even properly increase his strength. The Extraordinary Encounters System was not an opportunity for him at this moment. Instead, it had become a death talisman.

If only the System could awaken a few years later. When the Mad Emperor Zhu Zhenwu died and Zhu Wuyang went to another place to be a faction-less Prince, he could use the power of the Extraordinary Encounters System to increase his cultivation.

The sea was vast and the sky was high. He could do anything he wanted. How would it be like this?

It had to be known that at this moment, due to the restrictions of the environment, Zhu Wuyang had no choice but to try his best to suppress the frequency at which he obtained breakthrough points. Even so, his strength had increased so quickly. If he could freely use the Extraordinary Encounters System to earn breakthrough points, Zhu Wuyang’s speed of improvement would at least increase by several times.

At that speed, in less than a year, Zhu Wuyang might be able to break through the shackles and advance to the Peak of the Xiantian realm.

Unfortunately, as the Crown Prince of the Jiu Zhao Nation, it was impossible for Zhu Wuyang to obtain a year of freedom. Not to mention a year, even a month was a luxury.

However, a mere month was not enough for Zhu Wuyang to advance to the Xiantian realm or above and have the strength to protect himself.

Furthermore, there were many experts in the Jiu Zhao Nation, and there were so many Xiantian Realm guards in the palace. Even if Zhu Wuyang advanced to the Perfected Xiantian Realm, there was a high chance that he would be surrounded and killed by the many Xiantian Realm cultivators of the Jiu Zhao Nation.

Therefore, if he wanted to obtain true freedom, he had to wait until the Mad Emperor, Zhu Zhenwu, was done for.

Zhu Wuyang sighed helplessly and immersed himself in cultivation. The Azure Dragon Concealment Art continued to improve, the speed far surpassing other martial artists.

Soon, it was time for dinner. This was the only thing he could look forward to every day. After all, the food in the palace was really delicious.

As usual, he let Lai Chun and Chu Xia taste the food. After confirming that there was no poison in it, Zhu Wuyang chased the two personal maidservants away and began to enjoy the delicacies.

“Congratulations to the host for tasting the drug-mixed osmanthus shark fin for the first time in your life. You have received 500 breakthrough points…”

“Congratulations to the host for being drugged with the Concealed Blood Pill for the first time in your life. You have received 1,000 breakthrough points…”

….

Zhu Wuyang was stunned. According to the original owner’s memories, Zhu Wuyang knew that many Princes and Princesses in the palace often used various tonics and pills instead of poison to frame their opponents. At that time, he thought that it was quite creative.

However, Zhu Wuyang never expected that he would be schemed against so quickly, and it was with a pill that could increase his strength.

Speaking of which, it had only been a few days since he, the Crown Prince, had ascended the position. Why were there already people who could not stand it? Did those Princes and Princesses still want him to be their shield? Was there a need for them to go so overboard?

Soon, Zhu Wuyang recalled a few notifications from the Extraordinary Encounters System. The content of those notifications was that he was hated by others. These notifications happened after the Mad Emperor, Zhu Zhenwu, sent him a letter that said, “A Noble Needs To Guard Against Loneliness”.

Could it be that the Princes and Princesses who had triggered the hatred notifications had attacked him? This was very likely. However, did these guys have to be so petty? Wasn’t it just a calligraphy piece? Why did they have to be so ruthless to him?

If they wanted it, Zhu Wuyang could just give it to them. Why did they have to drug him? This was too much.
