“The General should be finishing already.” Xiao Ran was unsure.
“It has been 5 hours, it should be about ti.” Ah Xin mumbled, ”If the General is not done yet, I will educate her properly. As a military general, how can we let love......”
His words ca to an end spontaneously as Xiao Ran lifted him single handedly.
“Hey Hey Hey, violent lady, let go.....”
Xiao Ran corrected him, ”Who needs you to educate the General? I will teach you a lesson on the General’s behalf!”
“Blind follower! You are a blind follower!” Ah Xin felt bitter: “Won with big chests are really brainless......”
“I want to follow blindly!” Xiao Ran said with a cold face, ”Big chest ans brainless.....Ha, you have been wanting to say this for a very long ti right!”
Ah Xin felt sothing was wrong, his expression changed, as he spoke with a strict face, ”That was absolutely a complint! Big chest is a complint, brainless is a problem to others, but for you, it is a straightforward complint. This is the most realistic portrayal of your instinctive fighting, or don’t tell when you are fighting, you are using your brains?”
“How are you able to use your brains in ti while fighting?” Xiao Ran’s face beca relaxed.
“That’s right that’s right, this is how a passionate fighting girl should be. Instincts, the higher grade martial artists all talks about instincts!” Ah Xin then added, ”Under such advantage, and still maintain your big chest, girl, you are perfect!”
“The General is the perfect one!” Xiao Ran unmoved: “What is good about having a big chest? So burdening, it affects my fighting.”
“Ai ya, your values must have been distorted by the group of barbarians in Ophiuchus. Big chest is good......” Ah Xin cajoled and lied along the way, finally getting away with it.
When both of them arrived at the Bronze Star Door, Qian Hui was already sitting upright waiting for them.
They looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
The General, beca sowhat different......
Both of them had fought through so many battles to get to where they were, and thus extrely sensitive to certain things. Although Qian Hui seed like she was just sitting there like usual, but her the aura she was emitting from her entire body was much more cold and stern.
She beca stronger......
Ah Xin was shocked beyond words. Qian Hui was the most outstanding genius he had ever seen, and he could clearly tell that she had never received any traditional military general training before. It was as though she was gifted wit heo know how to fight.
When Ah Xin first t Qian Hui, although he only had one-fifth the army size as compared to her, he almost overturned the fight. At that ti, the impression he had of Qian Hui was just an ordinary military general.
But the following fights, he personally witnessed as Qian Hui continued to learn from every fight, continued to beco stronger, even in the most intense of battles, she still kept her calm. The ancient battlefield with countless spirits floating around,beca the best place for her to learn.
At that mont, Ah Xin already believed, other than lacking in experience, Qian Hui did not lose to him in any other factors.
But at the sa ti.......
Qian Hui’s cold aura around her entire body, made him able to feel her tamorphosis! The old Qian Hui, was sharp, calm and detail oriented, but in Ah Xin’s eyes, she lacked in the tyrannical aura which only famous generals had. The tyrannical aura that originated from the military general’s strong sense of self confidence, the resolution in which they would do anything as a military general to win.
The current Qian Hui, was actually emitting that tyrannical aura.
Her eyes, were so intense and calm which caused his heart to palpitate. She sat there upright, like an exceptional sword that was unsheathed, emitting its sharp aura, causing fear in all directions.
No one could stop her!
This woman, is truly terrifying.....
Ah Xin who was still in shock, heard Qian Hui speak calmly.
“With the bronze Star Door as the center, construct a defense, according to the highest level. Keep half of our n here to stand guard, prepare the rest, we are leaving for Red Valley.”
Her tone was calm, yet filled with unquestionable determination.
Ah Xin lifted his head suddenly, with an aghast look on his face.
Red Valley!
Since Tang Tian returned from No. 07 Army Barracks, he beca super pumped up. With an angry face, he was full of killing intent. It was like there was a fla burning in his chest, an unprecedented blazing fla, as though it was going to burn him to ashes.
I have promised Qian Hui!
He called for Bell, and made her imdiately investigate the [Sextans Eye] and the Star Power crux of Cetus Constellation. Then he quickly went to Uncle Bing.
Bing had all his heart and effort into the Big Dipper project recently, although he had little attainnts with specific martial techniques, but he knew what was the most important things needed for an army. His suggestions were always pertinent, be it blood ridian specialists, or the martial artists that were recruited who were good at theory, all admired Bing wholeheartedly.
In the laboratory, three small Whirlpool Sword Storms were in fast rotation, the sword aura whistled intensely, filling the entire room.
Everyone was earnestly watching and taking notes.
The three Whirlpool Sword Storms, were small storms created with their modification. Their intensity, was only half of that of the Whirlpool Sword Spirit Tempering Technique. They had made various important discoveries, for example, amongst all the auras, the sword aura had the best reducing energy transformation effectiveness. Also, the physical capabilities after the reducing energy transformation, was related to the level of true power before the transformation. The higher the level of true power, the better the effects of the reducing energy transformation, and the martial artist’s physical fitness would beco even more amazing.
With regards to this situation, Bing had modified the subjects for trainings for the army, so that nearly 80 percent of the ti would be spent on training the True Power. The selected ntal cultivation technique was very extre, it was nad [Blood Tempering], which was contributed by the successor of an ancient sect, Jiang Qing. Blood Tempering was an impetuous type of ntal cultivation technique, different from other ntal cultivation techniques which used the true power to revolve in the ridians. The principle of Blood Tempering, was to the force true power into the bloodstream, and with the help of blood flow, the energy would be transmitted into the entire body. It had another advantage, there were no barriers to overco, thus its reducing energy transformation process was extrely stable.
Blood Tempering had quick results, no barriers to train, but people rarely knew about the naturally obvious drawbacks. One of them was that while the blood flow, the pain felt would be like there were knifes inside the body, the other would be as true power was not tempered, it was extrely heterogeneous, and thus would cause many indiscernible damages.
Why Bing dared to use such an extre ntal cultivation technique, was because they had amazingly discovered while testing with the reducing energy transformation. The reducing energy transformation could clear all of the indiscernible damages in the body.
Even dicine Saint Ding Man was astonished by this discovery, she intended to rge it into her own dical martial techniques.
Lupus martial artists were the first to complete the reducing energy transformation. Their true power achieved the eighth level, and after the reducing energy transformation, their fleshly bodies were on par with martial artists with Gold Ranked Blood ridians.
Furthermore, they also discovered, although the Zero Energy Body did not have the varied mystical abilities of the blood ridians, it had its own unique factor as it naturally removed True Power. Therefore after True Power enters the Zero Energy Body, any damage caused by it would be greatly reduced.
Bing was ecstatic about that. He knew very well, just with this point, the Zero Energy Body had truly beco an entirely different entity which was not inferior to blood ridians!
Martial artists with the Zero Energy Body would have much stronger survival capabilities on the battlefield.
And as compared to the extrely costly rare blood ridians, reducing energy transformation was too cheap, and was suitable for the masses.
Imagine the 600 thousand Lupus citizens using Blood Tempering, with 10% of them being able to train their True Power to the eighth level, that would still be 60 thousand people! A great army of sixty thousand Gold Ranked Martial Artists, that would definitely sweep across Heaven’s Road, and have the ability to rhythmically exterminate and destroy a couple constellations!
Jing Hao and the other two were in the process of the second round of tempering. They had already completed the reducing energy transformation, and were currently tempering their martial spirits. Although the modified whirlpool sword storm’s results were not as outstanding as the Whirlpool Sword Spirit Tempering Technique, it could still temper the martial spirits and was much safer with the suffering being reduced trendously.
It was still much more outstanding as compared to the other martial spirit tempering techniques.
“Uncle, Uncle!”
It was clearly audible despite Tang Tian being very far away, Bing spoke to the rest of a few things, then he walked out.
“You found money?” Bing puffed out a smoke ring easily, behaving like an underworld boss.
“I found Qian Hui! Ha ha! I found Qian Hui!” Tang Tian filled with joy and excitent.
Bing was stunned, his face was full of shocked, ”Where did you find her?”
“Not right!” Tang Tian slapped his forehead,”I didn’t find her, I contacted her.”
“Were you dreaming?” Bing looked suspiciously at Tang Tian.
“It was real!” Tang Tian stared,” I was at No. 07 Army Barracks, that bronze Star Door!”
Bing paused for a while, of course he knew the bronze Star Door could be used to communicate, his expression turned serious, ”Where was she?”
“An Ancient battlefield, where the final battle between the three armies was.” Tang Tian scratched his head, trying to recall, ”Oh, Qian Hui said, she found a spirit general from the Southern Cross Army, his na is Ah Xin.”
The cigarette between Bing’s fingers dropped on the ground.
It was as if he was struck by lightning as his mind wernt blank. Nurous ash-colored images appeared and flashed past his mind, he trembled involuntarily.
That smoky face was still so clear to him.
****************************
“Ouch, we almost lost to them.”
A half subrged chanical weapon’s door opened in the mud, a skinny guy mumbled as he hopped out.
The youth opened the chanical weapon’s door as he gasped for breath. He was so exhausted that he could not even move a finger, the smoky gun sll in the air was suffocating.
“This doesn’t look well.” Ah Xin muttered to himself as he hopped onto the top of a chanical weapon and looked ahead.
The Youth struggled to stand up, coincidentally hearing what Ah Xin said. He looked up and said: ”Ah Xin, can we win?”
“Of course!” Ah Xin looked confident, he stared at Bing for a mont and suddenly said: “Brat!”
“Huh?” The Youth looked up.
“Maybe there is a way.” Ah Xin talked to himself again, ”You go to the Ocean of Exile, and look for sothing, maybe we can win that way!”
“What thing?” The Youth’s spirit was lifted.
“I don’t know either, I only heard commander talk about it before.” Ah Xin continued: “We are all counting on you, brat!”
“Really?” The Youth stared at Ah Xin’s face, trying to figure out if he was being lied to because Ah Xin was always lied to him.
Ah Xin looked undisturbed: ”Not a definite, but a maybe, anyway, we don’t have any other solution as well, so maybe we could leave so hope for the future.”
That was right, there was already no other way......
“Ah Xin, you must hang in there! Wait for to co back!” The Youth shouted to Ah Xin.
Ah Xin smiled,” I know, I know, I am afraid of death too!”
The Youth turned and hopped into the chanical weapon, charging forward along the trenches towards the Ocean of Exile, as if he was a lunatic, he knew how bad the situation was.
He piloted the chanical weapon and left the war zone, like a desperate beast forced to a corner, he climbed up the mountain with both hands and feet.
“Southern Cross Army, charge!”
A faint yet familiar voice in the air, the voice was too familiar......
The Youth was stunned as he panted, his face had turned pale.
He looked back suddenly, the enemies subrging the line of defense like a seawave.
Tears blurred his vision, be it then, or now.
Ah Xin.....
