Special War God

Chapter 167: The Battle of Lingxu Realm: Xia Zhongnan's Advice

And Xia Zhongnan really had no other intention, so he turned to Zhan Feng and came to the training ground where Zhan Feng's disciples practiced martial arts.

Watching the disciples of the Battle Peak practicing various sword techniques with sweat dripping down their cheeks, he could not help but think of the rapid progress of his own cultivation during this period, during which he had many experiences and insights. So he said, "I will not visit the remaining peaks one by one. I will gather them and some disciples of the Law Enforcement Peak. It has been a long time since I have discussed cultivation experiences with you fellow disciples. Today, I will talk to you about how to hone your combat skills."

As the chief instructor of the Thirteenth Army, most of the disciples here practiced his "Santong Zhen Jue", so it was not an exaggeration to call him "Master". Hearing that he would give a class in the martial arts arena, the disciples were all ecstatic, and the news spread quickly, and soon more than 2,000 people gathered, and almost all the disciples who stayed at the headquarters came to listen.

They all recalled the days when Xia Zhongnan taught them to practice the "Santong Zhen Jue" in Feiyuejian. It was a precious experience that they still talk about with relish...

When everyone had gathered, Xia Zhongnan took the lead in practicing the secret technique of spear.

At this time, his spearmanship was already profound and had reached the realm of a fairy-level master. The black iron spear in his hand was as agile as a living being and cruised like a dragon, performing a magnificent scene of overturning rivers and seas and riding on clouds in the air.

Inspired by him, most of the soldiers of the 13th Army chose the spear as their training weapon. Seeing Xia Zhongnan display his spear skills, everyone was shocked, and they knew that the spear could be used in such a wonderful way!

This exercise undoubtedly broadened the horizons of these disciples. Only by witnessing the supernatural powers of the masters with their own eyes can they understand their own shortcomings and the direction of their pursuit. This is also the reason why many practitioners need the guidance of a good teacher to become a master disciple.

After the demonstration, Xia Zhongnan sat down and explained to his disciples how to improve the power of their spear skills.

He asked, "Do you remember how I taught you how to wield a spear?"

The disciples recalled that when Xia Zhongnan first served as the captain of the hundred-man team, he swept through all the hundred-man teams with just one move under the professor's command. That scene is still vivid in their minds.

Tiedan, Qu Deli, Zhong Tiechui, Yin Daben and others, members of the hundred-man team who served Xia Zhongnan in the past were all present. The good times in the past made them fall into intoxicated memories.

Xia Zhongnan continued, "The spearmanship I learned was also gradually improved to the pinnacle. Even if we only study one spearmanship, if we can practice it to the pinnacle, that one spearmanship will be powerful enough to surpass our current cultivation.

With this as a foundation, and supplemented by other moves that you learn or create in the future, your overall combat power will naturally rise to a higher level. At that time, someone asked when I would teach you the second move, so what I will teach you today is the second move that you have been waiting for for a long time. "

These heartfelt words were based on his real experience of rising from mortal to saint, and now, with his Spiritualization cultivation, he was able to challenge the powerful combat capability of the Return to Void Stage cultivators.

However, he could not tailor a teaching plan for each of his disciples, so he could only share his own experience. As for what kind of achievements the disciples could eventually achieve, the key still lay in their own understanding and efforts.

He has never thought of going it alone, and as someone who comes from the modern world, he firmly believes in the power of teamwork. In this world where the strong prey on the weak and the situation is complicated, he hopes that everyone can rely on each other and grow stronger together.

So far, his strategy has paid off. He has devoted a lot of energy and training resources to the team, and this team has become his solid backing, making him more determined and powerful on the road ahead.

Just like that, the short three days of Liu Dabazi's retreat passed in a flash. On the morning of the fourth day, Xia Zhongnan, Tu Shanfang'er and several hall masters were waiting quietly outside the secret room where Liu Dabazi was practicing. With a burst of hearty laughter coming from the secret room, Liu Dabazi finally achieved enlightenment and successfully came out of retreat...

After everyone came forward to congratulate him respectfully, Liu Dabazi suddenly spoke, his voice containing deep inner strength: "My real name is 'Liu Xujie'. Do you think it is more appropriate to return to my real name, or continue to use the secular nickname 'Liu Dabazi'?"

When these words came out, everyone was stunned and didn't know how to respond for a moment. Although "Liu Dabazi" was not an elegant name in the cultivation world, everyone had been used to it for a long time and had never studied it deeply. At this moment, he suddenly mentioned this matter, which made everyone have to guess his intentions.

Seeing that everyone looked at each other without answering, Liu Dabazi seemed to feel a subtle embarrassment. He coughed lightly and revealed the power of the Dao realm in his words: "Now I have broken through to the Return to Void Realm, and I am determined to compete for the position of governor of Xiongzhou. Once I succeed, my status and position will be even higher than Xu Shouting. Am I going to bear this worldly nickname for the rest of my life?"

Zhao Delin looked around and saw that all the cultivators were silent, so he turned his eyes to Xia Zhongnan, who had made great achievements in cultivation, hoping that he could give some advice. However, Xia Zhongnan looked solemn, and was obviously thinking carefully. He did not even look at Zhao Delin, as if he acquiesced. So Zhao Delin suggested: "General, you need to think twice about this matter. As everyone knows, the commander of the 13th Army who made a name for himself on the battlefield of the White Kingdom is the great general known as 'Liu Dabazi'. If a person named 'Liu Xujie' suddenly appeared at this moment, who could recognize his true identity? So in my opinion, the general should still use the name 'Liu Dabazi'."

Zhao Delin's words were sincere, pointing out the truth without losing his compliments. Liu Dabazi was not annoyed after hearing this, but was slightly moved. He said with emotion: "It is a pity that he can't restore his original name after achieving such a high level of cultivation!"

It was only at this point that Xia Zhongnan slowly spoke, his tone firm: "This matter ultimately depends on the general's determination and decision. If the general insists on returning to his real name, we should obey. However, if the general wants to seize the position of governor, he should continue to use the name 'Liu Dabazi'."

Liu Dabazi asked: "What is the significant difference between them?"

Xia Zhongnan said seriously: "The gap is far-reaching! Although the Wu Kingdom has added nine new states this time, and the positions of governors seem to be numerous, in fact, there are dozens or even hundreds of people coveting them. The general has few connections inside and outside the court, and there are almost no people who can speak for you. Only Marshal Xu Shouting and the current governor Xu Dejing are the general's precious support. If the general changes his name at this time, it will undoubtedly sever this incense relationship. Not only will the two Xu masters not lend a hand to you, I am afraid they will suppress you."

Xia Zhongnan's words were like a wake-up call to Liu Dabazi, who suddenly woke up. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead and he kept saying, "Brother Xia is right. I was impulsive and short-sighted!"

Seeing that Liu Dabazi could quickly recognize the problem, Xia Zhongnan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If he insisted on his own opinion, the already slim chance would become even slimmer. Xia Zhongnan had already started thinking about other countermeasures...

Xia Zhongnan said, "We are still young in cultivation. We have no idea how many sects and families are coveting the position of governor. If we want to defeat the enemy, we must first understand the enemy's situation. Therefore, we must quickly find out which sects and forces in the country are plotting to seize the position of governor. Only in this way can we confront them head-on and find a chance of victory.

Now, every comrade must try his best and mobilize all available resources. This is the biggest invisible battle that our 13th Army and Wentian Fairy Palace are currently facing. Its danger is no less than a real fight on the battlefield with real swords and guns!

If Dabazi can successfully ascend to the throne of governor, the general's prestige will be further enhanced, and our Wentian Palace and the Thirteenth Army will also have an unprecedented opportunity to grow stronger.

However, if they are defeated, the Thirteenth Army will probably be ordered by General Xu Shouting to return to the Chifang training ground, and the Wentian Palace will also face the heavy pressure of the new government army. No new governor is willing to keep a powerful force that can compete with them under his rule. "

He first aroused the enthusiasm of Liu Dabazi and the top leaders of Wentian Fairy Palace for Liu Dabazi to be in charge, and then analyzed the difficulties and obstacles involved to them, making everyone feel both eager and worried, and anxious about gains and losses.

He treated the Wentian Palace and its members sincerely, and the strategies he proposed were also wholeheartedly for the Palace and everyone. However, when necessary, he also knew how to give warnings.

When Liu Dabazi suddenly proposed to restore his original name, this move immediately touched Xia Zhongnan's vigilance. His behavior was almost forgetful, which made Xia Zhongnan deeply dissatisfied.

In recent times, the development of the 13th Army has been smooth sailing, whether it is dealing with the Bai Kingdom's army on the battlefield, or establishing the Wentian Fairy Palace, and even the Wentian Escort Agency has opened in major cities, Qianqiu Teahouse and Hongchen Restaurant have taken root everywhere, the Dan Hall and Zhen Hall for training are prosperous, and the Internal Affairs Hall has mountains of training resources.

They almost forgot that all these achievements were not easy to achieve. It was thanks to Xia Zhongnan's painstaking efforts and careful planning that today's success was achieved. He would never allow these achievements to be damaged in the slightest due to anyone's rash actions.

Wisdom does not necessarily mean success, diligence does not necessarily guarantee success, and being both intelligent and courageous are not necessary conditions for success.

So what is the secret to success?

The answer lies in following the will of nature! You must set sail when the wind blows and appreciate the beauty of the moonlight in the silence. This is the fundamental way to grasp success.

All of Xia Zhongnan's strategies revolve around this principle of "following the way of heaven". If he cannot rise by taking advantage of the situation, he would rather keep a low profile and cultivate in seclusion, just as after the battle of Beiming Pass, he chose to lead the Thirteenth Army to hide in Feiyue Gorge and devote themselves to the way of cultivation, rather than joining Wen Yulou to fight head-on with the White Kingdom's army. It was not until he found the opportunity to establish a sect while traveling abroad that he led the Thirteenth Army into another path of development.

After Xia Zhongnan's earnest explanation, everyone calmed down, stopped thinking frivolously, and began to use their wisdom and integrate various resources, vowing to do their best to contribute ideas and efforts to Liu Dabazi's competition for the position of governor.
