Chapter 132

The next morning, Amuer got up early and went to his master's residence.

Ling Tianying sat on the grass, gazing at the distant sunrise. Amuer stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Master, good morning."

Ling Tianying slowly turned his head, his eyes deep: "Morning, Amuer."

"How did you rest last night?"

Amuer replied respectfully: "Very well, Master."

"I've been thinking about the technique you taught me yesterday."

Ling Tianying smiled faintly, not rushing to explain his elder brother's plan to Amuer.

"Good. Remember, the move is merely form; what truly matters is grasping its essence."

"Come, try performing it for me to see."

Amuer nodded and began to perform the technique he had learned yesterday.

Ling Tianying watched his movements, nodding from time to time and occasionally pointing out shortcomings.

Every detail, every movement, Ling Tianying demanded that Amuer perform perfectly.

He was about to go to the Central Plains, representing the grasslands and, as Ling Tianying, contending with the heavenly talents of the various regions of the Central Plains.

This includes newly emerged evildoers as well as the shadows of his old rivals.

Amuer's identity as a grassland person and even as a disciple of Ling Tianying.

It is destined to make him the focus of attention in the Central Plains.

"Remember, there are no unnecessary movements in battle."

"Every movement has its purpose; it must be simple, direct, and effective."

Ling Tianying gazed at Amuer, his mind filled with myriad thoughts.

Amuer humbly heeded his master's teachings, practicing over and over.

He sought to understand the principles within with his heart.

He followed his master in learning how to observe the wind's direction, how to judge the sway of grass, how to discern animals' cries……

These seemingly trivial details played a crucial role in actual combat.

His movements became increasingly proficient and natural.

The sun rose higher, but Amuer did not stop practicing.

He knew that to become the strongest warrior on the grasslands, he had to exert more effort than others.

Ling Tianying looked at Amuer's progress and felt very satisfied.

He knew Amuer was a talented child; with effort, he would surely stand out on the grasslands.

In the afternoon, Amuer and Ling Tianying sat together on the grass, enjoying a simple lunch.

Ling Tianying ate while recounting to Amuer the history and legends of the grasslands.

Even this was different from before.

This time, Ling Tianying spoke for a long while.

And most of it was about the Central Plains.

He emphasized talking about his many opponents in the Central Plains.

And the many enemies whose kin had died at his hands.

Amuer listened with relish; these were all his master's dazzling exploits.

As the sun set westward, Amuer and Ling Tianying stood on the grasslands, watching the sun slowly sink.

Ling Tianying lightly patted Amuer's shoulder: "Amuer, you have taken the first step toward becoming a true warrior."

"But remember, true combat is not merely a contest of skill and strength; it is also a contest of will and wisdom."

He paused, then Ling Tianying looked at this dear disciple before him.

"Saihan Wang came to see me yesterday; he hopes you can serve as an envoy, representing the tribe on a mission to the Central Plains."

Ling Tianying turned, fixed his gaze on Amuer's eyes, and continued speaking.

"My brother's meaning is..."

A flicker of surprise crossed Amuer's eyes.

"He knows you are studying under me here, and hopes you will use this opportunity to go to the Central Plains to broaden your horizons and contribute to the future of the grassland tribe."

Ling Tianying explained to Amuer.

Amuer lowered his head; his heart had already made a decision.

He knew his duty and mission, and also longed to go to the Central Plains to see a broader world.

He raised his head, looked firmly at Ling Tianying, and said: "Master, I am willing to undertake the mission to the Central Plains and not disappoint your expectations."

"Amuer, you have learned very well."

"But the Central Plains differs from the grasslands; there, people's hearts are more complex and struggles fiercer."

"You need to learn more strategies and means to protect yourself and accomplish the mission."

Ling Tianying also nodded, nothing unexpected.

For the youths of the grasslands, young eagles must always fly.

He will not stand in the way of Amuer's goal.

"Come with me, Amuer."

Ling Tianying looked at Amuer, whose face was full of resolve, and a hint of complexity crossed his own face.

Then, without a word, he led the nearby steed away and headed straight for the depths of the grasslands.

"Huh?"

"Master, wait for me."

Although I'm a bit dazed by Ling Tian Zhi Ying's sudden actions.

But Amuer still grabbed the reins nearby and followed up immediately.

On a lone peak deep in the grassland, Ling Tian Zhi Ying stood at the cliff's edge, his gaze like torches, as if he could pierce the clouds and stare straight at the horizon.

Behind him, Amuer waited silently, his expression solemn and dignified.

At this moment, Amuer somewhat understood his master's purpose.

Ling Tian Zhi Ying is a legendary figure of the grassland; his whole life was devoted to the grassland and its people.

His martial arts are superb, his wisdom extraordinary, and more importantly, he possesses a broad and profound spirit.

Chaotic times are imminent.

But he deeply knows his time is short.

Therefore, he must quickly pass on his lifetime learning and wisdom to the next generation.

Originally, Amuer still needed a period of instruction to perfectly inherit his philosophy.

Thus he would accept everything of his own and become the next-generation Ling Tian Zhi Ying standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

But since Amuer has already decided to go out and explore.

That's fine; it's just a matter of doing it a bit earlier.

Letting Amuer have less of his own influence is also good.

Allowing him to early walk his own path.

Those who learn from me live; those who imitate me die.

As the Base Martial 110 Heavenly God General, Ling Tian Zhi Ying naturally understands this.

And Amuer, as his direct disciple, not only possesses extraordinary talent and ability, but also has a sincere and resolute heart.

He admires Ling Tian Zhi Ying and aspires to become a hero and sage like him.

But he will ultimately walk his own path.

Different from his own path!

Ling Tian Zhi Ying turned around and gazed deeply at Amuer.

His eyes filled with appreciation and expectation, also mixed with a hint of sorrow and reluctance.

He knows this inheritance is not only a test for Amuer, but also a summary and review of his own life.

"Amuer."

Ling Tian Zhi Ying spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful: "You have followed me in study for many years; I have seen your growth and progress."

"You have a brave and wise heart, and the potential and determination to become a hero."

A warm surge rose in Amuer's heart; he respectfully lowered his head.

Ling Tian Zhi Ying looked at the distant clouds and mist, continuing: "Amuer, what I will teach you today is not only my martial arts and wisdom, but also my lifelong belief and pursuit."

"Remember, a true hero must not only have extraordinary martial arts and wisdom, but also firm belief and noble character."

Saying this, he took out a finely crafted wolf-tooth dagger from his bosom; the dagger gleamed with cold light all over, as if containing endless power.

This dagger is Ling Tian Zhi Ying's personal belonging and his token, witnessing his lifetime glory and splendor.

"This dagger was given to me by my master's grandfather; it has followed me for many years, witnessing my life."

Ling Tian Zhi Ying stroked the wolf-tooth dagger, a flicker of remembrance in his eyes: "Now I will give it to you; I hope you can use it to prove yourself to everyone."

"Ling Tian Zhi Ying, forever the bravest man on the grassland!"

Amuer took the dagger, feeling only a heavy sense of responsibility and mission weighing on his heart.

He gripped the dagger hilt tightly, his eyes flashing with determined light.

"Master, I will surely not disappoint your expectations."

He tucked the dagger into his bosom and spoke solemnly.

Ling Tian Zhi Ying smiled and nodded, then sat cross-legged on the ground.

He began to transmit his final martial arts and wisdom to Amuer.

He passed on all his lifetime martial arts, tactics, and strategies to Amuer, each move and each detail explained in profound yet accessible detail, thoroughly and comprehensively.

Amuer listened and learned with full concentration, daring not to slack in the slightest.

He knew this was the most important moment of his life and the starting point of becoming a true hero.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment; master and disciple were immersed in the ocean of inheritance, forgetting everything else.

Until the sunset set, golden afterglow showered upon them, breaking this tranquility and focus.

"Ding! Detected that the title of the Grassland's First War God, Ling Tian Zhi Ying, has changed; currently detecting."

"Ding! Ling Tian Zhi Ying pours all his inheritance, beliefs, and heavenly mandate into others."

"Ding! Ling Tian Zhi Ying loses the rank of Heavenly God General!"

"Ding! Because Ling Tian Zhi Ying voluntarily passed on the Heavenly God General rank, it cannot be contested; Amuer is forming the Heavenly God General."

"Ding! Amuer additionally obtains top-tier skill - Ling Tian! Note: This skill is an extra grant; later it can unconditionally advance to Heavenly God Skill - Ling Tian Zhi Ying, and will not conflict with the original Heavenly God Skill!"

"Ding! Congratulations Amuer advances to Heavenly God General-"
