Chapter 24

"Done! Zhang Liao has been squeezed dry for the time being! The spear technique that belongs to me has finally been created! Not bad!"

Su Xuan thought with joy in his heart.

Immediately, the movements in his hands changed; he no longer used the spear to perform the halberd technique, but instead performed the newly created *Prairie Fire Spear Technique*.

At once, he beat Zhang Liao into retreat, making it even harder for him to cope.

For a time, Zhang Liao felt he was in danger.

It was so frustrating.

Su Xuan felt incredibly smooth.

"Sure enough, using a spear to perform a halberd technique is not appropriate!"

Su Xuan thought to himself.

Actually, he could have used a halberd directly.

But he didn't have the strength to play with weapons like the Painted Halberd yet.

It was too heavy.

Perhaps, when his realm went up, he could use the *Six Storehouses Swallowing Heaven Art* to pile up his physique and strength;

Or create a cultivation method for divine strength supernatural abilities—that would be the time for him to switch from a halberd to a spear.

Zhang Liao felt more and more frustrated as he fought, couldn't hold on anymore, retreated directly, and waved his hand to admit defeat: "Phew! Stop fighting! I admit defeat!"

Then, he said with a frustrated face: "Brother Su Boyuan! You are simply a freak! How can someone whose realm is inferior to the other's surpass the other in the application of strength? It's simply unreasonable!"

"Also, what's going on with your martial arts? I felt your spear technique was weird before; so you were using halberd techniques all along?"

"Why did you choose to perform spear techniques at the end?"

He couldn't understand Su Xuan's thoughts at all!

Teasing him?

It didn't look like it.

Zhang Liao never imagined that Su Xuan didn't know spear techniques at all before, and had just been learning on the fly and creating the spear technique through constant sparring with him.

The key was that once he comprehended it, it was a top-tier spear technique, and his proficiency was directly maxed out.

"Haha!"

Su Xuan stopped and said with a smile: "Isn't it because I felt that using spear techniques was bullying you too much?"

"Zhang Wenyuan, you are truly amazing to be able to force out my spear technique!"

Su Xuan said, giving Zhang Liao a thumbs up.

"You're just talking nonsense!"

Zhang Liao rolled his eyes upon hearing this.

Was he trying to fool a fool?

Then, Zhang Liao shook his head: "Forget it! If you don't want to say it, don't! Let's go, let's go drink! No more fighting today! Too frustrating!"

"Perhaps you are right; you using spear techniques to fight me is indeed bullying me too much! I admit defeat!"

"I really don't know how you practiced this martial art."

Zhang Liao looked like he had suffered a great blow, put his arm around Su Xuan's shoulder, and walked toward the pavilion not far away.

The two sat in the pavilion drinking, and Su Xuan said: "I'm leaving tomorrow! I still have to rush to Wuyuan to trade with Lu Bu, so don't miss me too much! Hehe!"

"Oh?"

Zhang Liao's smile faded upon hearing this, and he said with some reluctance: "Leaving so soon? Will you come back for the next trade?"

"If I go to Nanyang, will you welcome me?"

"Welcome! Extremely welcome!"

Su Xuan nodded happily and said jokingly: "You can even stay in Nanyang! I'll arrange a house for you!"

"As for the next trade, let's see; I'll likely come! After all, there will be more warhorses next time, and I wouldn't be at ease letting others come."

This matter was very important, so it was safer to handle it personally.

"Staying is forget it!"

Zhang Liao also laughed freely: "It would be nice to go and visit when I have time! I haven't even left Yanmen Commandery, let alone Bingzhou or Nanyang in the south!"

"This world seems very big; in the future, I want to go everywhere to see and wander around."

Speaking of this, Zhang Liao looked up at the blue sky in the distance, his eyes full of longing.

He was still just a teenager, after all.

"Oh?"

Su Xuan raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Good ambition! A good man should make the four seas his home and travel the world, so as not to live up to his youth."

"I hope that when you and I are old! Looking back on the past, we will feel that this life was not lived in vain;"

"Come! A toast to the future!"

"Good! A toast to the future!"

The two immediately raised their glasses and drank heartily.

"Hahaha...."

Finally, they looked at each other and smiled.

2 days later, Su Xuan and his party left Ma Yi and rushed to Wuyuan Commandery, dusty and tired.

They successfully met Lu Bu himself at his mansion.

"Oh? You are Su Xuan?"

Lu Bu looked at Su Xuan with arrogance mixed with curiosity after hearing Su Xuan's self-introduction: "Early stage of Bright Strength? Barely acceptable! But this Qi, blood, and vitality are quite eye-catching! Not bad!"

Then, before Su Xuan could speak, he looked at Huang Zhong and Old Dian Wei, and after feeling their Gang Strength and momentum, his expression tightened, and he said somewhat excitedly and eagerly: "You two, on the other hand. Both are very good!"

"Both are actually Gang Strength level martial artists!"

"Especially you!"

Lu Bu said, staring fixedly at Huang Zhong as if staring at prey, and challenged him: "I can sense a strong sense of crisis from you; ever since my martial arts reached completion, you are the first one to give me such a strong feeling; how about a fight?"

Lu Bu was a straightforward person, a typical border martial general, who liked to be direct and didn't have so many twists and turns.

He said what he wanted to say and did what he wanted to do.

For example, he didn't think much of Su Xuan's strength;

For example, he wanted to fight Huang Zhong.

"Hmph!"

Huang Zhong looked at Su Xuan first, and after receiving Su Xuan's nod, he snorted coldly at Lu Bu: "The lord is humiliated, the subject dies! You dare to look down on my lord; even if you didn't say it, I would have to teach you a lesson!"

"Come and fight!"

As he spoke, Huang Zhong took the initiative to draw his long saber and walked toward the martial arts arena in the front courtyard.

"Haha! Good!"

Lu Bu didn't feel angry at all upon hearing this; instead, he took his Painted Halberd with fighting spirit and chased after him.

"My lord!"

Old Dian Wei looked at Su Xuan and said unhappily: "This Lu Bu is too arrogant! He actually dares to look down on you, my lord; I think he might not be your opponent at the same level!"

"My lord just suffered from starting martial arts too late!"

Hearing Old Dian Wei also speaking up for him, Su Xuan waved his hand lightly and said: "I will make him change that idea!"

"Let's go! Let's go join the fun!"

"A duel at the peak of Gang Strength is rare!"

As he spoke, Su Xuan took Old Dian Wei and the others to the martial arts arena.

"Clang, clang, clang!!!"

"Bang, bang, bang!!"

At this time, in the martial arts arena, Huang Zhong and Lu Bu had already started fighting.

Both of them exuded terrifying momentum, their bodies covered with frightening Gang Strength, almost tearing the surrounding air to shreds.

Between every move and style, the air was shattered.

The hard rock ground was constantly being marked with deep trenches from saber and halberd slashes. ===== CHAPTER 49 =====
