Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

"That fucking hurts!!"

Li Changqing held back, so Niu Dashan looked disheveled, but his injuries were not serious.

After he stood up again, he solemnly bowed to Li Changqing.

"Thank you, General Nangong, for showing mercy. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have lost my life here."

His opponent was far stronger than him, yet he controlled his cultivation level to fight him.

Even so, he couldn't even last a single exchange with the other side.

Niu Dashan understood perfectly well what was going on.

This is the backer the imperial court sent them; attacking the Great Qi is the key to breaking their predicament.

Niu Dashan was able to do so well in the Zhennan Army largely because he was pragmatic.

He knew all too well what he should do and what he needed to do.

From that moment on, Niu Dashan's attitude towards General Nangong could be summed up in two words.

loyalty!

This loyalty is second only to his loyalty to his own marshal.

Marshal Qian nodded secretly.

Just as Marshal Qian was about to step forward and reintroduce the young General Nangong to everyone.

Troublemakers have resurfaced in the military.

"We've all witnessed General Nangong's martial arts skills. But we wonder about his weapon?"

There is a fundamental difference between fighting on the battlefield and sparring in martial arts.

In other situations, Li Changqing could conquer the world with just his bare hands.

But once he became a general, he couldn't do that anymore.

Even if his combat strength remains undiminished, the morale of his soldiers will be greatly affected.

Even a great general who traverses the battlefield should have his own weapon.

Li Changqing was prepared for this.

He took out the best spear from the Wang family's armory.

The gun body is entirely black, with a gold band around the muzzle.

The spearhead was made of black iron and adorned with specially made red silk.

When the head of the Wang family introduced the gun, he made a special mention of it.

This gun has quite a reputation; it might even be recognized on the battlefield.

But it seems the head of the Wang family was just bragging.

When Li Changqing picked up the spear, neither Marshal Qian nor any of his men showed any surprise.

Clearly, they did not know the origin of the spear, let alone what was so magical about it.

"Since you seniors wish to spar, let's begin!"

If Li Changqing wanted to gain the approval of these soldiers, he would have to take this step.

He had no way of eating and sleeping with his soldiers and developing a bond with them day and night.

He could only conquer everyone by using overwhelming force.

Whether in the martial arts world or in the military, the strong are respected.

As long as Li Changqing demonstrates sufficient martial prowess, he believes the soldiers will be willing to trust him.

"Since General Nangong has put it that way, then I would like to ask General Nangong for his brilliant strategies."

"And me!"

"Count me in too."

Seeing the strength that Li Changqing had just displayed, these generals were fully aware of it.

No matter how good their weapons were, they couldn't gain any advantage against Li Changqing, whose strength far surpassed their own.

We can only go up side by side.

Although it was dishonorable, as long as they could defeat Li Changqing, they would have saved face for the Zhennan Army.

The three generals were depicted in different ways: one wielded a halberd, one a battle axe, and the other a spear.

Although their weapons were different, their aura was no less imposing.

Three grandmasters in total!

The realm of carefree wandering is a huge threshold; apart from the commander of an army, very few generals can reach this realm.

Or one could say that those who have reached this level of expertise have long since left the military and joined other departments.

An existence that can be considered the foundation of a prestigious family or sect is destined not to be seen casually on the battlefield.

If it weren't for Li Changqing's special status...

Even if he wanted to meet a master of the Free and Unfettered Realm, it wouldn't be an easy task.

Li Changqing, holding a long spear, watched as the three men surrounded him.

The first to make a move was the general wielding a halberd.

He seized the opportunity and cleaved his halberd down from top to bottom.

At the same time he took action, the other two generals followed suit and began to make their own moves.

"Splitting Mount Hua in two!"

"A giant axe splits the mountain!"

"Shot the mountain!!"

These three people seem to have a grudge against the mountain.

All three of them were going to split or carve open the mountain.

Niu Dashan, who had already retreated, felt his chest heaving rapidly.

"You bunch of bastards, what have you done to me?"

Otherwise, how could the three of them have used such a move?

And they're used together.

Just as the three of them joined forces to make their move, Li Changqing also started to move.

Suddenly, the spear in his hand flashed with a black light.

Li Changqing was somewhat surprised.

He currently maintains the cultivation level of a Grandmaster.

They haven't reached the state of Great Freedom, or even the state of Freedom itself.

He should be unable to materialize his true energy.

But at this moment, after the spear was swung out, the true energy directly transformed into a ball of light and shadow.

The three generals, all at the Grandmaster level, were sent flying by the black light before they could even get close to Li Changqing.

"What the hell is this thing?"

In the Zhennan Army, someone cried out in surprise.

Marshal Qian's eyes widened in shock. "This belongs to the Wang family—the Peerless Spear!"

The Wang family's guns are unmatched in the world.

This is the famous Peerless Spear!

Even without reaching the Great Freedom Realm, wielding the Peerless Spear can unleash attack power equivalent to the Freedom Realm or even the Great Freedom Realm.

Of course, it only refers to attack power.

It doesn't mean that wielding this spear will actually allow you to fight against a master of the Great Freedom Realm.

Even so, this thing is still a treasure.

While it cannot compare to the supreme artifact, it is still far superior to ordinary weapons.

Li Changqing glanced thoughtfully at the spear in his hand, feeling as if the black spear had a life of its own.

She seemed to have a deep affection for him.

"It seems the Wang family patriarch wasn't exaggerating. That spear is quite effective..."

Just as Li Changqing was thinking this, the other three generals had already obediently backed down.

It wasn't that they didn't want to rebuke him; Li Changqing was only able to suppress them because of the weapons in his hands.

Even if we win, it won't be a fair victory.

But they've already argued illogically once before, so it's really unreasonable for them to continue arguing illogically now.

More importantly, they knew it in their hearts.

Once you're on the battlefield, the enemy doesn't care what kind of weapons they're using.

To be able to win on the battlefield, and to be able to survive on the battlefield.

That's real skill.

"As expected, heroes emerge from among the young. General Nangong, you've worked hard. The troops are fully prepared. When do you plan to depart?"

As a marshal, General Qian unconsciously became more respectful when speaking to Li Changqing.
