Chapter 136: with translation of chapter title

Complaining aside, Shen Tianxing still chose to exchange; sometimes the value of something depends on whether one has a pressing need—if it's a pressing need, then it has value.

System, use 3,000,000 Killing Value plus the Wusheng San Zhe Ka to raise the Minor Formless Skill to Great Success.

Congratulations, Host, you have successfully raised the Minor Formless Skill to Great Success; all attributes increase by 50%, power increases by 50%, martial arts level rises, granting an additional 10% boost to all attributes and power.

At this moment, with all his attributes bolstered, Shen Tianxing need only use the Minor Formless Skill in battle to possess the strength of a grandmaster.

System, select three pieces of Ultimate Martial Art, choosing the seventh to ninth palms of the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms, and instantly comprehend them. Then raise the seventh and ninth palms to Perfection.

Congratulations, Host, you have successfully comprehended the seventh to ninth palms of the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms; spending Killing Value to raise those palms to Perfection.

Sudden Perfection: when striking, adds three consecutive hits, increases damage by 30%, and adds a 100% hit effect.

Shocking Hundred Miles Perfection: when striking, bursts with 200% damage, and adds a 100% bleeding effect.

Leaping in the Abyss Perfection: when striking, increases damage by 120%, and adds a 100% lethal strike effect.

The strength of the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms lies not only in its damage but also in its additional effects being 100%; although each use reduces the effect, normally few can make Shen Tianxing unleash two consecutive strikes of the same technique.

After the martial arts upgrades, Shen Tianxing checked the sole title he had earned: Ten-Thousand Foe.

Title Ten-Thousand Foe: increases all attributes by 10%.

Simple and direct; stacking them together, Shen Tianxing's all attributes have now increased by 100%,

"Finally finished tallying; Beizhou now only has An City left. Capturing it will be just in time to support Hongyue, though I don't know how the battle at Humen Pass is going now."

The situation at Humen Pass right now is indeed not good; this time the Dawu Sect sent out a 150,000-strong army, all of them elite, and moreover elite among elites, the weakest among them being at First-Rank sixth layer.

Although the Yang Family Army also has nearly 50,000 elite troops, the city's defenders now consist of only 20,000 elites plus 20,000 ordinary Yang Family soldiers, making the defense considerably more difficult.

"General Yang, the enemy's offensive is too fierce; we can barely hold on. We should quickly seek aid from the governor."

A regiment commander proposed his idea to Yang Hongyue; this is not his fault, after all the Dawu elites are really not fierce enough—they have already stormed the city walls many times. If Yang Hongyue, with her soaring spirit, leads them in relentless assaults, they would likely have already taken the walls.

Yang Hongyue also feels helpless; the situation is indeed not optimistic, but she still doesn't really want to ask Shen Tianxing.

"Don't worry, they can't break in. For now there's no need to report to the governor; just wait a moment, I'll have someone come lift the siege."

At this moment, the only thing Yang Hongyue could think of was Qiao Yinxiang; a grandmaster's move is absolutely invincible.

"Uncle Qiao, please intervene and drive them back."

Yang Hongyue shouted loudly, on the battlefield in front of Humen Pass suddenly sounded a very passionate music, this is Qiao Yinxiang's exclusive buff, and he also stepped through the air, both palms striking out, a move Long Zai Yu Ye landed on the battlefield.

A booming explosion sounded, the Dawu Army screamed, again and again, to them it seemed that suddenly a person flew down from the city wall, raising both hands, two golden dragons coiled around, then the golden dragons charged at them, wherever they passed, violent explosions occurred.

"Grandmaster!"

The Dawu Army's Marshal Lin Feiyun exclaimed in shock, this move just now instantly took away over a thousand Dawu soldiers, undoubtedly a Grandmaster's technique.

"Marshal, let's retreat, the Grandmaster has made a move, we simply cannot continue fighting, he used another move, and again over a thousand of our brothers were killed by him, yet no one can get close to him."

The Dawu Army's Vice Marshal Ding Chunlong spoke up to persuade, the Grandmaster's strength is deeply ingrained, even if we wait for his Internal Force to be exhausted, our side would still lose tens of thousands, and morale would be completely gone.

"The Grandmaster is indeed strong, but so what? If we retreat now, the favorable situation we've gained will be completely lost; issue the military order, let the soldiers continue the siege, and double the compensation for those killed by the Grandmaster."

Lin Feiyun is also a ruthless person, the Grandmaster's move will indeed lower their morale and cause heavy casualties, but the Grandmaster's Internal Force is not limitless.

"Marshal, if you do this, after this battle, regardless of victory or defeat, the brothers will resent you; we will retreat first, memorialize the Imperial Court, and inform His Majesty that a Grandmaster has intervened."

"Please ask His Majesty to also summon a Grandmaster over, so that we can continue fighting; otherwise, what's the difference between needlessly sending men to their deaths?"

Ding Chunlong is not speaking without basis; under normal circumstances, when a Grandmaster participates in war, the situation changes; the Emperor can request his own nation's Grandmaster to intervene and suppress, even able to unite several Grandmasters to act together.

"Marshal, that Grandmaster has stopped and flown back onto the city wall, but we have also lost over 5,000 men; it seems he has only just entered the Grandmaster rank not long ago, his strength is not yet strong enough; should we continue the assault?"

Qiao Yinxiang had flown back onto the city wall, however a Black Robe wearing a Mask leapt down, followed by a move Flying Dragon in the Sky, only hearing the booming explosions, far away in Pingcheng, System Prompt sounds kept transmitting in Shen Tianxing's ear.

The one who made the move was none other than Shen Tianxing's Avatar, possessing strength virtually identical to his, not much different from a Grandmaster, especially that Internal Force being far more ferocious than that of an ordinary Grandmaster.

"Impossible, how did another Grandmaster appear? How could this happen? If the two take turns alternating, recovering Internal Force and continuously attacking, not to mention our 150,000-strong army, even a force of several hundred thousand would likely fail to take it."

Lin Feiyun was almost going mad, knowing that a Grandmaster's Internal Force recovers quickly, even if the two Grandmasters alternate attacks, each only acting for a few moments, then retreating to recover for an hour, after recovering Internal Force they continue the assault, truly even a 150,000-strong army cannot break through.

One must know that the defending forces have not diminished much, yet they are continuously losing troops; under this offset, only a few rounds are needed for them to be surely defeated.

"Marshal, by now we should just retreat quickly; look, that Grandmaster earlier seemed to have taken something, then struck again, and now two Grandmasters are attacking together—it's over, hurry and retreat."

Not only were Lin Feiyun and Ding Chunlong shocked, even Yang Hongyue was dazed; at first she thought only Qiao Yinxiang was present, but now another existence with strength equal to a Grandmaster has appeared—what else is Shen Tianxing hiding from her?

Lin Feiyun clenched his fists, truly helpless; at this point he can no longer hold on; knowing that not long ago over ten thousand had already been killed by the two Grandmasters, continuing to fight like this—what's the difference from needlessly sending men to their deaths?

"Damn it, there are actually two Grandmasters, how dare they—this is utterly unchivalrous; now there's really nothing we can do, issue the military order to retreat immediately."
