A chessboard floated in front of Sun Wukong.

In the very center of the chessboard, the white chess pieces were arranged in a diamond shape.

This ordinary chessboard, in the eyes of Sun Wukong, extended into countless possibilities.

"Ten years, huh..."

Sun Wukong thought to himself, maybe that really is a long time.

"Great King."

While he was pondering, the Long Armed Ape Monkey walked into Shuilian Cave: "Your Majesty, the Fox King and others have already arrived."

"Mm."

Sun Wukong returned to his throne: "Let them in."

Outside Shuilian Cave, the Fox King and a group of scholars nervously awaited their summons.

"This is bad, the Great King must have discovered our actions."

Someone said.

In this past year, the war in the Northern Continent had attracted the interest of a group of scholars, who developed many weapons and technologies for the war.

When Sun Wukong summoned them, they became nervous, worried that they might have gone too far and displeased Sun Wukong.

The Fox King also worried: "Could it be because of the Immortal Literature Hall?"

To make it easier for the demons to participate in the war, the Fox King led a team in Huaguo Mountain's Immortal Literature Hall to add some trial scenarios to train the demons' battlefield reactions.

The demons trained at the Immortal Literature Hall, after going to the Northern Continent, often adapted easier than other demons.

But the scholars didn't think this was reason enough to anger Sun Wukong.

"Training in the Immortal Literature Hall can reduce casualties on the battlefield, with the support of the second king, why would the Great King blame us?"

A Deer Demon said.

"What could the reason be then?"

The Fox King couldn't think of anything more significant.

"It couldn't possibly be because we improved the firepower potency, right?"

"I... I have a suspicion..."

A man from the Human Clan wiped his sweat: "Immortal Zhenyuan asked me to develop a new Daoist Skill, maybe it's because of this."

"What Daoist Skill?"

Everyone was shocked: "Such an unreliable guy, Immortal, why did you listen to him!"

"I can't defeat him."

The man couldn't help but bitterly smile: "He wanted me to develop the Great King's plucking technique."

"Plucking Technique!"

Everyone was shocked. Without asking, it was certainly this reason.

"Did you develop the plucking technique?"

Only the Fox King was somewhat skeptical, he had tried developing this spell before, but it was not feasible.

"The Plucking Technique was unsuccessful, but I developed a spell to remove weapons and armor."

The man answered: "Immortal took it away, saying it was to be used on the battlefield."

"What's the problem with that?"

The Fox King shook his head: "Many people can remove armor!"

"But its effect is too strong, it can strip off clothes too..."

The man added.

"Undressing Technique!"

Everyone's hearts suddenly chilled, utterly dismayed.

It was over, surely Immortal Zhenyuan misused that spell and even made good-tempered Great King angry.

Frightened out of their minds, as soon as Sun Wukong summoned them, they entered Shuilian Cave and without a word, immediately knelt on the ground.

"Great King spare our lives."

That unanimously voiced plea startled Sun Wukong for a moment: "Spare you for what?"

The people raised their heads, could it be that Sun Wukong didn't summon them to blame them?

Sun Wukong spoke up: "I hear that this past year, for the war in the Northern Continent, you have created many wondrous things."

This statement once again sent shivers through everyone.

"Great King, we can stop the development..."

The Wanling Fox King spoke cautiously.

"No need."

Sun Wukong shook his head: "You can develop freely."

"Ah?"

The crowd had never expected Sun Wukong to say this.

When Ao Luan and the Jade Emperor were fighting in the past, they had done similar work but stopped because of Sun Wukong's plan.

Everyone believed that Sun Wukong disliked wars.

"Great King, what do you mean by this?"

The Wanling Fox King asked in both shock and delight.

"In recent years, many people from the Wanling have awakened on the battlefield, I think we can speed things up."

Sun Wukong said: "In the future, we must conquer the Four Great Continents, war is inevitable, the stronger the weapons and technology, the fewer the casualties."

People could hardly believe these words came from the mouth of Sun Wukong.

"I want to establish a War Academy."

Sun Wukong said: "Every year, we will recruit one hundred thousand students, and also set up a separate institution to develop various weapons and technologies to cope with future battlefields."

The Wanling Fox King couldn't help but stand up.

"Good, good..."

He rubbed his hands together, never expecting that the Great King, who had always been individualistic, had actually changed.

"Great King, who will take responsibility?"

The Wanling Fox King asked.

"I will be responsible for the first six months."

Sun Wukong's reply once again startled everyone.

They froze for a long time, then nervously asked: "Great King, are you going to personally establish the War Academy?"

"The academy will be managed by someone else, but I will work with you to develop new weapons and technologies."

Sun Wukong said: "The technology of Wanling Country has reached a bottleneck, maybe war can bring more creativity and possibilities."

This was what he learned from the Heavenly Book, war is a very good tool for promoting social and technological progress.

The people hurriedly agreed.

Then, just a few days later, a War Academy was established in Mountain and Sea City.

Unexpectedly, Sun Wukong appointed the Golden Winged Great Peng as the dean of the academy.

After that, he and the Wanling Fox King and others thoroughly transformed the musical notes.

Musical notes are a very good communication tool, but Sun Wukong was not satisfied.

The reason why musical notes were popular is that mortals could also use them.

But for demons, who more or less possessed Spirits Magic, there could be better alternatives.

Before long, Sun Wokung had several bracelets in his hand.

These were multi-functional bracelets, each having an unique number, capable of sensing companions' locations, receiving sounds, verifying identities, etc.

These technologies were already mature in small worlds, but this was the first time they were integrated.

"Send these bracelets to the battlefield."

Sun Wokung released the bracelets for field testing.

Within a few days, both Immortal Master Erlang and the Bull Demon King came back, requesting bracelets for everyone.

Sun Wokung agreed.

This later caught the attention of Emperor Donghua, who proactively approached Sun Wokung.

"Identity verification?"

Sun Wokung saw an intriguing idea in Emperor Donghua's eyes.

Emperor Donghua felt that since each bracelet can exist independently, it could be worn by every person in Wanling Country as proof of citizenship.

"I seem to have read about this in the Heavenly Book?"

Sun Wokung thought to himself.

Using bracelets for identity verification is certainly feasible, but adjustments and changes in functions were still necessary.

He thought it through carefully and agreed to Emperor Donghua.
