Jokes aside, Zhao Xing gaining so much battle merit was not unexpected for Chen Shijie.
The 100,000 logistics soldiers in Tonghuo City were all managed in an orderly manner by Zhao Xing, with not a single mishap.
Resolving the Enchanting Soul Array and breaking the barrier at Sacrificial Soul Pass were accomplishments Zhao Xing could not have achieved without contribution; if it were Chen Shijie doing it himself, he definitely could not have managed it.
First of all, he could not have gotten past the Enchanting Soul Array; this formation had been deployed since the Fire Dragon Pass was broken, and it had not been triggered for a long time.
At a critical moment, it split the frontline troops from the logistics troops, which was a disaster. Awarding forty thousand battle merits to Zhao Xing personally was certainly not too much.
