The First Sage of Military Strategists

Chapter 82 The Demon-Suppressing Cudgel! (Second Update)

Two words popped into Han Qing's mind: wild!
This young man was like a lone wolf. Judging from his clothes and appearance, he was clearly not a person from Dayu. He seemed to have come from the Western Wilderness Grassland.

Just as he was pondering this, Qi Yan's loud voice interrupted his thoughts.

"The three of you practiced martial arts in Baiyun County before. Although you have outstanding talents, the martial arts you learned were ultimately too rudimentary. There may be superior martial arts in Baiyun County, but they are few in number."

Today I have specially found several masters to teach you martial arts. Each of them is a world-renowned martial art, and even the worst ones are second-rate.

"Mu Dachun, you go first!"

"Hey!" Mu Dachun stepped forward.

At the same moment, the black-clad warrior standing on the far left also stepped forward.

This person's physique was remarkably similar to Mu Dachun's, with an unusually large frame, making him appear like a small giant at first glance, exuding immense pressure.

"This is Xuan Chen, a martial monk from the Great Vajra Temple, a sacred martial arts site in the Holy Desert Empire. Mu Dachun, you two have similar physiques. The Great Vajra Temple has an unparalleled fighting technique called the Demon-Suppressing Staff, which is most suitable for martial artists of your build. Its destructive power is extraordinary and can be called first-rate. Xuan Chen, demonstrate it for me!" Qi Yan instructed.

"it is good!"

Xuan Chen nodded slightly, turned around and came to an open space next to him. There was an extremely thick golden bronze rod on it, as thick as an ordinary person's thigh. It would be more appropriate to describe it as a pillar than a rod.

Such a thick bronze rod must weigh at least a thousand pounds, yet Xuan Chen reached out and grabbed it with ease, lifting it effortlessly as if it were just an ordinary wooden stick.

"Alright!"

Xuan Chen let out a low shout and began to brandish his bronze cudgel in front of the group.

Whoohoo!
The copper staff flew up and down, its shadow stretching endlessly. At first, the speed wasn't too fast, but as the speed increased, the shadows became denser and denser, eventually weaving into a large net and creating a whistling gust of wind that made the scalp tingle.

Han Qing could sense that when the copper rod was wielded, there was a peculiar rhythm within it, clearly containing extremely skillful techniques.

"Making it easy!"

A thought suddenly popped into Han Qing's mind.

Xuan Chen's staff-wielding gave him this feeling: the heavy bronze staff was being wielded so fast, the power of that strike must have increased to an astonishing level; an ordinary person would have their bones broken and tendons snapped the moment they were touched.

Mu Dachun was also stunned, feeling genuine admiration.

He was born with superhuman strength and an unusually large physique, which made his combat power far exceed that of other martial artists of the same level. However, he could not find a suitable fighting method in Baiyun County and relied purely on brute force to fight others.

This fighting style is useful when you are at a lower level, but as the enemy becomes stronger, relying solely on brute force will inevitably become less and less effective, and in the end you may not be able to defeat anyone. Therefore, Mu Dachun has always longed for a fighting style that suits him, and now he has finally found it.

"Hey, ha!"

Suddenly, Xuan Chen shouted and leaped up, grabbing the bronze staff with both hands and slamming it down heavily onto the open space in front of him.

Bang!
The copper rod slammed into the ground, causing an instant earthquake. The bluestone slabs beneath the rod shattered and scattered into fragments.

"Mu Dachun, what do you think of this staff technique?" Qi Yan asked with a half-smile.

Mu Dachun was completely stunned. He couldn't imagine how powerful he would become if he learned this staff technique. With one strike, even a fierce tiger would be smashed into mincemeat.

"Mu Dachun!" Qi Yan called out again when she saw him staring blankly.

Mu Dachun finally snapped out of his daze, scratched his head, and said in a muffled voice, "I love it! I love it so much!"

“Xuan Chen, tell him how extraordinary this fighting technique is?” Qi Yan added.

"Yes, this fighting technique is a secret method created by the Secret Treasure Heavenly King, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of our Great Vajra Temple. Its power is unfathomable. I have heard that the Secret Treasure Heavenly King did not use a stick back then, but a thick copper pillar that required two people to hug. When he wielded it, it was airtight and impenetrable, combining offense and defense, and was unstoppable by ten thousand men."

The abilities I just demonstrated are merely the tip of the iceberg; they are nothing compared to those of the Secret Realm King.

"If you can learn it, you will benefit from it for a lifetime. Even if you become a Martial Saint in the future, this martial art will still be relevant in combat," Xuan Chen said.

Mu Dachun was stunned, and Han Qing was also secretly amazed.

The massive bronze pillars that require two people to encircle can be swung so tightly that they are impenetrable. What terrifying combat power this is! Just how strong are the world's top martial artists?

"The Secret Treasure King was a top expert during the heyday of the Great Vajra Temple. He was famous throughout the world, so it's normal for him to have such abilities. There's no need to be surprised. You may never meet such a person in your lifetime, so there's no need to care."

Mu Dachun's staff technique is incredibly powerful, but it is also very difficult to learn.

"From today onwards, Xuan Chen will personally instruct you in this martial art. You must study it with all your might. Within three months, you must at least learn the most basic moves of this martial art, understand?" Qi Yan shouted.

"I understand, I will definitely try my best!" A determined look appeared in Mu Dachun's eyes.

"Alright, Li Tai, you're next. You're already at the fourth level of the Body Dao Realm. Unlike Mu Dachun, you don't need to worry about fighting for now. Improving your realm is the right path."

Based on your current path of energy integration, the most suitable martial art to learn in the fifth realm is the Heavenly Wolf Skill.

This martial art has an extraordinary origin; it was created by the Sirius King, one of the top ten masters in the world!

"This person is a top expert from Tianlang Fortress, the sacred martial arts ground of Mangting. If you can learn this martial art and reach the fifth realm, your combat power will definitely improve dramatically," Qi Yan said loudly.

“Okay, I will definitely do my best to study.” Li Tai nodded solemnly.

"The Heavenly Wolf Technique is profound and complex; most people may not be able to learn it. Let's give it a try first," Qi Yan said, glancing at another black-clad martial artist beside her.

The black-clad warrior's attire was distinctly Western Mang Grassland style, with a black band tied around his forehead and his hair cascading down to the sides.

“From this day forward, I will personally teach you this martial art.” The martial artist stepped forward and said.

"it is good."

So, Mu Dachun and Li Tai followed their respective "masters" to the training ground on the side.

"Han Qing, based on your current path of energy fusion, the martial art with the highest potential for you is the Mo Family's Four Realms Supreme Training Method, the Mo Jade Skill!"
This martial art can unleash the Black Jade Force, which is both offensive and defensive. When used to attack an enemy, the Black Jade Force can cut through gold and jade with extreme sharpness. When used to protect oneself, it can greatly enhance one's self-healing ability.

If you can learn this skill, your combat power will be greatly enhanced, making you invincible among those in the same realm.

The only drawback is that it's too difficult, and not everyone can master it," Qi Yan said.

“Then let’s learn the Ink Jade Skill,” Han Qing said.

"Good, that's ambitious. It's also important to be unafraid of difficulties if you want to become a top martial artist."

However, in addition to the Jade Ink Technique, you will also need to learn archery and horsemanship. These two skills will be extremely important no matter where you go in the future.

In addition, the library of the Prince of Qi's mansion has an extremely rich collection of books, covering everything from astronomy and geography to law and miscellaneous studies. You should definitely visit it more often when you have time.

Baiyun County is ultimately a small place, and you still know too little about the world. Reading is one of the effective ways to broaden your horizons.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me, and I'll be happy to answer them.
