Peace Order

Li Guanyi sat cross-legged there, hearing General Xue's praise, yet there was not a hint of fluctuation in his eyes. The time he had spent with this man was not too long, merely a month.

It might sound short, but if it's said that he was taken under the wing of the world's top general for a full month, getting thoroughly trampled in all aspects such as military strategy, martial tactics, warfare, and even cunning, that was entirely different.

The stimulation was simply too much.

Li Guanyi felt numb.

From the old man, he knew there would be significant changes in Guan Yi City, yet he felt no fear in his heart.

From General Xue, he understood that he had reached the threshold of the Entering Realm, yet there was no ecstatic joy in his heart.

It was simply a pool of still water, without any ripples.

Li Guanyi sighed.

Old Man deceives me!

The young man raised his eyebrows and said, "So? What else is needed?"

General Xue's mouth slowly curled upwards and he replied, "A bit of an opportunity, a bit of polishing, and then you can make a breakthrough. As for those fighting processes, they are unnecessary, the rest, like that Taoist and that living Buddha, actually aren't proficient in combat before the Entering Realm."

"With your methods, when facing a Taoist or Buddha before the Entering Realm,"

"Within thirty steps, you could kill within seven moves."

General Xue spoke these startling words in a calm tone.

Li Guanyi thought about it and asked, "Why seven moves?"

General Xue smiled and said, "Because Taoists are good at running before they Enter the Realm, and monks are very resilient."

"Difficult to kill."

"If you were wielding a long spear, wearing armor, handling a crossbow, even if there were over a dozen monks before the Entering Realm, they wouldn't last the time it takes to burn a stick of incense against you; however, the trouble with these two sects is after they Enter the Realm. They have their mysteries. They follow a different path from martial artists who simply enhance their physique and strength."

"After entering the realm, at a distance, martial artists are actually at a disadvantage. Your bow shooting, must not fall behind. Also, there's another gift for you, this one is truly a treasure..."

"Taoists have Taoist Heart, Buddhists have Buddha Nature, Confucianists understand Heavenly Mandate."

"My Military School has it too."

"Do you want it?"

General Xue grinned broadly.

Li Guanyi looked at General Xue, cautiously said, "I guess you would insist on giving it even if I don't want it, right?"

General Xue's mouth curled slightly, his expression growing warmer and more cordial as he said, "Yes."

Boom!!!

A blur passed before his eyes, followed by an immense force crashing down.

Li Guanyi instinctively raised the weapon in his hand.

The base of his thumb was violently shaking!

The heavy blade's edge shattered, the fractured fragments, like collapsing frost, scraped across Li Guanyi's cheek; his eyes contracted sharply, his heart thudded fiercely, and then with the instinct of a warrior, he curled his body and retreated, stretching to dissipate the force, avoiding the ground that shattered in that instant.

As he retreated, he reached out to grab the long spear that was stuck in the ground. The shaft of the spear was flexible, pulling out in an alarming curve, which also relieved some of the force from Li Guanyi's body. He landed on the ground, swiftly pulling out the long spear, transforming into the Ancient Spear Skills' Crouching Tiger Style, but the next moment, the sound of tearing the void exploded.

Li Guanyi's long spear was instantly shattered by an arrow.

The next moment, a pain in his throat.

A deathlike fear gripped Li Guanyi's heart.

He knelt on the ground, panting heavily, yet still stared fixedly ahead at the dust,

There was the sound of a tiger's roar, yet it sounded like the buzz of a weapon——

A Battle Halberd pierced through the dust, its body pitch black, like a spear, threateningly pointed.

Then the Battle Halberd slightly turned, sweeping aside, dispersing all the dust, General Xue stood there, one hand holding a bow, his right hand holding a fierce tiger mouth Battle Halberd, making a sound like a tiger's roar as it swept through the air, as if alive.

The edge of the Battle Halberd touched the ground, General Xue said faintly:

"What the Military School needs is the heart to draw the sword, the resolve to dare to battle against all formidable enemies."

"There is no enemy in the world that we cannot fight against!"

"There is nothing in the world that we cannot achieve!"

"Before you Enter the Realm, I will personally forge for you, this heart that dares to draw the sword against all the kings of the world!"

Li Guanyi, gasping for air, steadied his stance, and his heart stirred with waves.

In response to the World's Number One Divine General, the young man stretched out his hand and raised his middle finger.

General Xue's mouth curled up: "It seems you already have such a heart."

"Then, your opponent is..."

He grounded his Battle Halberd on the ground, slowly stepped forward, his Battle Halberd grinding against the ground, leaving a fractured trail, the dust behind him didn't disperse but instead oddly rose up, gathering behind the Divine General, forming the shape of a White Tiger with a ferocious expression and bared fangs.

Rearing up and roaring!

Although he could already defeat the great men of five centuries ago on the same level, Li Guanyi still felt a suffocating oppression, but he still had the courage to hold his bow, the arrows spinning as they shot out, only to be casually sliced apart by the Divine General as if he was strolling in his garden.

Even the distance of his steps did not vary in the slightest, without any change.

Finally, he casually lifted his Battle Halberd and swept it fiercely, making Li Guanyi feel like his body was almost falling apart.

A phantom swept past his eyes.

The War Bow slashed down like a war blade, as if the entire sky was pressing down in that instant, Divine General Xue's body was immensely tall, his face and body covered in shadows, the White Tiger behind him, rearing up and howling, with Divine General Xue's face unclear.

Only those eyes, cold and disdainful, as if from a mountain peak, looking down at all the heroes.

"The world's number one!"

......

When Li Guanyi left the secret realm, his forehead hurt intensely, Divine General Xue also limited his own strength to the level below the Entering Realm, but the oppressive force given to Li Guanyi was simply too overpowering, that robust aura was simply monstrous.
