Chapter 839: 839

When I returned to the familiar room, I noticed that it had already been cleaned up . On my table were several blooming flowers . I immediately knew that it was from Lin Wan Er as she knew that I liked such an environment .

I drank a bit of water and didn’t think about much else . I took up the helmet and connected to the net . Let’s go online before saying anything more!

While it was collecting my information, I swept through the rankings of Tian Ling City and as Li Mu had mentioned, after 7 days of not going online, many people had already exceeded my rank . Now, I was only 4th in Tian Ling City with my level 152 . The top 20 people in the rankings all completed their sixth job advancements!

Very quickly after the verification, I entered the game!

”Shua!”

I appeared in the barbarian tribe Royal Army tent . When I sat up from the bed, a ring instantly sounded out in my ear . It was something that I had been looking forward to for a long time . . .

”Ding!”

System Notification: Congratulations, your combo [Strength of a Thousand Men] has been completed . It has been upgraded to a Holy Ghost Grade # technique . You are the first player to have a Holy Ghost Grade 3 combo . Reward: Charm +30!

”Ding!”

System Notification: Congratulations, you have comprehended God Tier passive skill Yang Yan Energy . Damage increase: 50% . Since you are the first person to learn a God Tier Skill, you have obtained an additional reward: Charm +100 .

”Ding!”

System Notification: Congratulations, you successfully created God Tier Skill, launching consecutive strikes on a target, buffing the blade with the power of Heaven and Earth to cause each sword to be stronger than the last . The more familiar you are with it, the more strikes you can execute . The highest is the 10th layer to slash 27 times . Please name this skill!

……

I was totally stunned . Destiny was actually closely linked to cultivators . It even knew about Yang Yan Realm, something that normal people had no knowledge about . Moreover, it even raised 50% of the damage . That was too strong! What shocked me was that [Strength of a Thousand Men] had also increased; it also seemed like I had reached the essence of the Song Feng Sword Style!

Thinking about it, I immediately named the skill — Wind Carrying Slash!

In truth, I thought about naming it a long time ago . It was really casual and smooth, which really fit the skill .

After I confirmed the name, a golden-colored God Tier Skill Wind Carrying Slash appeared on my skill tab .

[Wind Carrying Slash] (God Tier): Launch consecutive strikes on the enemy, gathering the power of Heaven and Earth on the sword to make each sword to be stronger than the last . The more one comprehends, the more strikes one can execute . 27 strikes is the maximum . Currently, you can execute 10 strikes . The skill cooldown is 60 minutes!

……

”Keng!”

I pulled out the Dragon Reservoir Sword and the Zhen Yue Blade . When I activated [Wind Carrying Slash], a golden light shone . God power swelled and then both of my arms swiftly slashed . The [Wind Carrying Slash] was a single target skill . The sword and the blade both stabbed the air, “Shua shua!” and it made the air shake . In just 2 seconds, I forcefully slashed out 10 swords, each sword stronger than the last . If there was a player in front of me, I really couldn’t imagine who would have the strength to block my skill!

I placed the swords back into their sheaths and stood there quietly . I really didn’t expect the Yang Yan Realm to have so many benefits .

With a “Hua”, Han Yuan held his long blade and walked in through the curtains of the tent . He was totally delighted the moment he saw me, “General, you are finally awake . You slept for a full month and the Royal Army has waited a month here . If General didn’t wake up, I could have only brought them back to Tian Ling City to wait for you!”

I exclaimed and said, “Han Yuan, how are the discussions with the barbarian tribes?”

Han Yuan said, “In the month that General wasn’t here, a bunch of adventurers helped us wipe out all the Fire Dragon Beasts . The barbarians are loyal to the empire and they are willing to let us recruit them . They sent half of their team to head to Tian Ling City . General, those tribe leaders are waiting for you to appear!”

”Okay, bring me there!”

”Yes!”

After heading out of the tent, I saw a bunch of tribe leaders standing there, letting the brave barbarians spar . Although they used all their strength, just the Royal Army alone could send many to defeat them . They probably suffered many defeats in the hands of the Royal Army .

When I walked forward, Long Xing, Xia Ye, and Xiao Lie all walked over excitedly, “Commander is finally here!”

I nodded my head and said toward the 14 tribe leaders, “I am sorry, I had some important matters to attend to . If there are no other matters to discuss, let’s immediately head back to Tian Ling City . “

Everyone nodded their heads . These barbarians had long wanted to head to Tian Ling City to have a good life; it was better than staying here and eating tough food .

……

The army made a move, bringing a dense bunch of barbarians out from the land they had spent most of their lives in . When we passed Ba Huang City, Angela led a bunch of cavalry to greet us . Actually, she was being wary . After all, if so many barbarians attacked, Ba Huang City might be wiped out .

Crossing Zi Wu Mountain and entering Tian Ling City territory, there weren’t any troops that stopped us or any nobles who came to greet us . The nobles in Tian Ling City were probably drunk and hanging out with women, so who would even bother about the Royal Army? However, this time I had guessed wrong .

When the Royal Army passed Tian Ling City, I noticed that a bunch of NPC troops all had white cloths around their arm . When the Royal Army got closer to the city, Princess Pearl led a bunch of Chang Feng troops and surrounded the area . Her face was ashen white, and after seeing me she finally had a relaxed expression . However, tears fell . She immediately jumped off her horse and cried, “Li Xiao Yao, Father died . . . ”

”What?!”

I jumped off my horse, “Wasn’t Emperor Rob still okay a few days back?”

Pearl cried, “Father’s health was always not that good — half a month ago he fell ill and died . Second Brother . . . he became emperor . After you settle the matters with the Royal Army and the barbarians, come to the palace to find me . Second Brother summoned you three times, but since you didn’t return, I am afraid he will target you . “

”Okay, I will . . . “

……

I brought the Royal Army forward; my heart was really nervous . With Owen becoming emperor, that was definitely not a good thing for me!

I soon entered the Royal Army camp . There were Royal Army tents all over the place, but I didn’t stop, continuing to lead the 150 thousand barbarians south of Tian Ling City, pass the Moon Blade Forest toward the fertile wilderness . In the middle was a giant basin which was really wide . One could predict that it had probably been formed by a collision of asteroids . If not, such a natural basin wouldn’t exist .

The basin had a huge amount of resources, brimming with life . Many large and small beasts were all about in the forest . Fire red crystals emerged from the ground outside . They were really hard and they were called fire crystals . This was how the name, Fire Crystal Basin, came about . Within the basin, many of the trees were cut down and numerous wooden houses were built . At the same time, a large number of farms also opened up . I hadn’t returned in a month and numerous farms had been set up . Additionally, there were even new plants sprouting out from the ground .

There was a Royal Army camp in the Fire Crystal Basin where many Blade Shield Barbarians walked about . The secretary there carried a book and headed over, saying respectfully, “Commander, these barbarians all need to register . This was decided by the empire!”

I nodded my head, “But most of these barbarians don’t have names . “

The secretary smiled, “It is okay . They can get a name now . “

”Okay!”

……

Han Yuan, Xiao Lie and the rest were in charge of arranging lodging . Soon enough, the 150 thousand of them were efficiently allocated into the wooden huts . The rest were sent to simple tents to be shifted once the wooden huts were built . Moreover, Han Yuan also set up recruitment areas all around the place and swiftly got ten thousand plus young and strong barbarians . The barbarians had a short lifespan, so they were mostly young and strong . Out of the 150 thousand, aside from the women, kids, and the elderly, there were at least 50 thousand who could enter the Royal Army . However, there was no need to rush; we had to first let them build their homes and then join the army .

Long Xing and Xia Ye were in charge of distributing land . The farmers who were invited from Tian Ling City came to teach them how to plant seeds . There were also artisans who taught them crafts, woodworking, fishing, etc . South of the Fire Crystal Basin was the War God River and setting up nets beside the river was a good way to live . The barbarians were really strong, and the patient ones who became fishermen would be able to help provide a lot of food for the locals .

I was busy all the way till the night of the game . Han Yuan recruited 20 thousand barbarian warriors . Half of them became Blade Shield Soldiers and the others used specially crafted spears to become spearmen . They had a huge amount of strength and the spears were tough to break — they would be able to take much stronger impacts . They could even flick soldiers from the horses of high speed chasing cavalry . Such spearmen would be envied by all the other soldiers in the army .

When night fell, a messenger soldier dashed over and said, “Royal Army Commander Xiao Yao Zi Zai, His Majesty summons you!”

My heart sank . What has to come will still come . Emperor Owen personally summoned me .

……

I hopped onto the God Dragon Horse, and it instantly neighed . It shook its majestic head and followed the messenger back to Tian Ling City . When the messenger saw the God Dragon Horse, his eyes were filled with shock .
