Card: I Rebuild Five Thousand Years of Chinese Civilization in Another World

Chapter 34 Martial Arts
In front of Xie Yuwei:

A crystal-clear animal bone floated in the air. With a gentle lift of her hand, the bone landed in her palm.

Only after obtaining the animal bones did she look at the soldiers.

When the leading constable saw her looking at him, he said to her and Xie Yuchen, "I am Tie Shanhe, a constable from the Zhoushan Town County Government. Thank you for saving us, young lady and young master."

With the crisis resolved, Xie Yuwei finally got a good look at him.

The man in front of me, Tie Shanhe, was around thirty years old. His wild physique was very imposing, his eyes were calm, and his righteous aura made it clear that he was a good person.

Xie Yuwei looked at him. What was most special about this person was not his appearance or ability, but a different kind of aura about him.

Looking at the other martial artists, he noticed that they all possessed the same aura.

"What are you looking at, young lady?" Tie Shanhe asked.

Xie Yuwei asked frankly, "There's an ethereal aura about you. What is that aura?"

Tie Shanhe was taken aback, not expecting that the girl in front of him could see the martial energy on their bodies.

They lack the talent of a spirit master and cannot cultivate spiritual power.

To become stronger, they learned martial arts.

When martial arts skills are mastered to a certain level, martial energy will appear on one's body.

This martial energy can make them stronger, improve their physical fitness, and make them more agile.

Aside from that, martial energy has no other use.

"Oh!" Xie Yuwei exclaimed in realization.

When one ability is cultivated to its peak, another ability will emerge.

Tie Shanhe saw that Yuwei was no longer in a daze, and then began to ask her about her situation: "May I ask where you are from, young lady, and what brings you here?"

Xie Yuwei said frankly, "As you can see, I am an intermediate-level Card Spirit Master. I went into the mountains to find animal bones."

After saying that, she glanced at Tie Shanhe and continued, "We are from Nanwen Village."

Tie Shanhe was taken aback: "Nanwen Village? Do you know Jieyan?"

Xie Yuwei and Xie Yuchen had strange expressions.

Xie Yuchen muttered, "Xie Yan is my father!"

Tie Shanhe was speechless for a moment, then burst into laughter.

He exclaimed, "It's been two years, and Yan's children have become so successful."

Intermediate Card Spirit Master!

Another intermediate-level Card Spirit Master has appeared in Nanwen Village.

Now Nanwen Village is finally at peace.

Other villages don't even have a single intermediate-level card spirit master.

"I will certainly repay my nephews and nieces for saving me today. I will go to Nanwen Village another day to have a drink with your father," Tie Shanhe said heartily.

The soldiers behind him were full of anticipation.

Hearing his words, Xie Yuchen said dejectedly, "You'd better not come. My father has been missing for two years."

"What?" Tie Shanhe was surprised; he had no idea about this.

Xie Yuwei narrowed her eyes. The disappearance of the original owner's father was a real mystery. No one who knew him knew that he had been missing for two years.

Even Manager Huang back then was the same.

Tie Shanhe calmed himself down and apologized to Xie Yuwei and Xie Yuchen:
"I'm sorry, I didn't know your father had been missing for two years."

“You don’t need to apologize for this!” Xie Yuwei said calmly.

She changed the subject and asked, "Uncle Tie, I saw that you were clearly no match for those three demonic beasts. Why didn't you retreat?"

Tie Shanhe wiped his face and said sadly, "Retreat? Where can we retreat to?"

"Our purpose in going into the mountains is to kill them."

"Our original plan was to take them down one by one, but we didn't expect them to come together."

Xie Yuchen looked puzzled. Why couldn't he get a refund?
After retreating, we can regroup and kill them again, right? Tie Shanhe saw that Yu Chen looked puzzled and asked him, "Do you know why the county government's armed guards exist?"

Xie Yuchen shook his head.

Tieshanhe explained to him the duties of a military officer.

A hundred years ago, before the arrival of monsters in this world, there was no such position as a military officer in the county government.

After years of fighting between humans and monsters, humans developed barriers that could protect the survival of ordinary humans.

However, this barrier is not omnipotent.

The barrier will weaken due to insufficient spiritual energy at the array's core, and it will also be unable to withstand attacks from high-level magical beasts.

Human villages mostly have only basic village barriers.

A basic barrier is no match for the attacks of intermediate-level magical beasts.

For the sake of peace in the village and for people to continue their lineage safely, the imperial court established military service offices in county governments across the country.

The duty of the warriors is to kill magical beasts that exceed the barrier's level and ensure that these beasts do not descend from the mountain to attack humans.

Tie Shanhe said to the siblings, "These three mid-level magical beasts have already descended the mountain and slaughtered several villages. None of those villages survived; they have all become hell on earth."

"In just one month, two nearby villages were destroyed."

“We came up the mountain on a mission. These three demonic beasts must die. Even if we all die in battle, we must take a piece of their flesh.”

“If we run away, other villages will suffer tomorrow.”

Because of their duty, they cannot back down.

Either kill the monster, or perish together with it.

When they went up the mountain, they were prepared not to come back.

After listening to such a long speech, both Xie Yuwei and Xie Yuchen fell silent.

Xie Yuwei never expected that the living space for humans in this world would be so narrow, that they had to retreat into the barrier, and were still being bullied and relentlessly pursued by magical beasts.

The profession of military service is just like that of a modern soldier.

They would rather die than fail to protect the surrounding villages.

Xie Yuchen's ideas are different from Xie Yuwei's.

He was naive; he hadn't expected the barriers of other villages to be so fragile, unable to withstand even attacks from mid-level magical beasts.

While he felt sympathy for other villages, he was also grateful that he lived in Nanwen Village, whose protective barrier was of intermediate level...

After listening to Tie Shanhe's story, both Xie Yuwei and Xie Yuchen felt a sense of awe towards him.

After a long silence, Xie Yuwei suddenly said to them, "The three demonic beasts are dead, and you have completed your mission. What are your plans now?"

"And you?" Tie Shanhe asked in return.

Xie Yuwei frankly said, "We have also found what we were looking for, and we plan to go down the mountain early tomorrow morning."

It's getting late, and they have to camp on the mountain for the night.

"Let's go down the mountain together then, so we can look out for each other," Tie Shanhe said.

Xie Yuwei nodded; that was exactly what she meant.

The siblings joined the militia and found a comfortable place to camp.

The night was quiet in the mountains and forests. Xie Yuwei woke Xie Yuchen up.

"Sis?" Why would his sister wake him up so late at night?
After checking the surroundings and confirming that it was safe, Xie Yuwei said to Xie Yuchen, "You absorb this beast bone, and I will protect you."

Jie Yuchen asked, puzzled, "Can't we go home and absorb it later?"

Xie Yuwei urged him, "What are you babbling about? The stuff is only yours once it's inside your body."
