Chapter 39: with translation of chapter title
No wonder it's Lord Xun Yu, his talent is indeed strong!
Yeah, I haven't even entered the door yet, I didn't expect Lord Xun to have already reached Tongsheng Second Layer!
……
Hearing Xun Yu's report on his cultivation, the people below were suddenly shocked, they all sighed endlessly; in just twenty days, from an ordinary person to Tongsheng Second Layer Heaven, what a tremendous talent this is!
Good, Wenruo, well done!
Hearing Xun Yu's cultivation, Liu Bian couldn't help but be surprised; according to his estimate, being able to break through to the Tongsheng Realm was already quite good, he didn't expect Xun Yu to give him a surprise.

……
Your Majesty, I, Jia Xu, am at Tongsheng Second Layer Heaven realm.
Jia Xu, standing behind Xun Yu, suddenly spoke up.
Hiss... I never expected Lord Jia Xu to be this strong, no wonder he's someone you, Your Majesty, favored!
Yeah, it's still Your Majesty who's impressive!
After hearing Jia Xu's words, the people below also became excited; some marveled at their great strength, while others admired Liu Bian's discerning eye for talent.
Xun Yu and Jia Xu originally held only insignificant minor posts; it was only after Liu Bian ascended the throne that he began to rely heavily on them.
And the two did not disappoint Liu Bian; the officials also greatly acknowledged their abilities, for they conquered everyone through their own talents.
……
Your Majesty, I am at Tongsheng First Layer Heaven! Guo Jia, standing behind Xun Yu, said with an embarrassed face.
There's nothing to be done; who made his strength not come from his own cultivation!
I, have not entered a grade...
I, also have not entered a grade...
……
Immediately afterward, the remaining people all failed to break through to the Tongsheng Realm.
This was also expected, after all, everyone's cultivation time is still too short!
Since the civil officials' side has been introduced, let's also introduce the military officers' side!
Seeing that only Xun Yu and Guo Jia among the civil officials had broken through to the Tongsheng Realm, Liu Bian then spoke to the military officers' side.
Your Majesty, the lowly officer successfully broke through to Postnatal Third Layer three days ago. The military formation, Lü Bu, standing behind Yang Biao, stepped forward and proudly introduced.
After speaking, he didn't forget to glance proudly at everyone.
Hiss, no wonder General Lü Bu, this martial dao talent is truly strong!
Everyone hearing Lü Bu's martial dao realm was utterly shocked.
Indeed, no wonder he's the number one warrior of the Three Kingdoms, this cultivation talent is truly strong!
Obviously, Lü Bu's cultivation shocked everyone, even Liu Bian was shocked.

Afterwards, the martial generals' list was fully introduced; aside from these people, most others were in the Divine General Realm, and compared to a month ago, they had greatly improved.
「Your Majesty, there's also me and E Lai; we both are at the Houtian First Level, and we are about to break through to Houtian Second Level! 」
Seeing the martial generals' list fully introduced, at this moment Xu Chu, standing on the Gao Tai, said to Liu Bian.
Hearing these words, the officers below all looked toward Xu Chu and Dian Wei, a hint of envy appearing in their eyes.
Although they two have not broken through to the Houtian Realm, they are already close to the peak of Houtian First Level, and the breakthrough is not far off.
「Good, you are all excellent, worthy of being generals of my Han Empire! Now, with our strength, who in the Han Tian Xia could be our opponent? 」
Seeing so many martial generals break through to the Houtian Realm, Liu Bian immediately laughed heartily and said.
「Seeing that you can all improve this much, Emperor, I am gratified; from now on, you must continue to strive in cultivation, for cultivation is like rowing against the current—if you do not advance, you retreat! 」
「We subjects dare not neglect the Emperor's edict! 」 Hearing Liu Bian's admonition, everyone bowed with fearful expressions.
「Alright, your own cultivation has been introduced; now, you few commanding generals, introduce the cultivation status of your troops. 」
Liu Bian looked at the several legion commanders, his expression stern as he asked.
Hearing Liu Bian's inquiry about the army's cultivation, several of them grew grave in expression.
「Your Majesty, under my command are fifty thousand Xiliang Army soldiers; aside from myself having reached the Houtian Third Heaven, several of my deputy generals have also reached the Houtian Realm. 」
「Among them, Gao Shun, Wei Xu, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, Ma Chao, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei—seven people—are at the Houtian First Heaven, and all eight hundred soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp have the strength of second-rate martial generals. 」
「In my Xiliang Army, two have the strength of first-rate martial generals, ten have the strength of second-rate martial generals, and the rest of the soldiers already have the strength of third-rate martial generals。」
After Lü Bu finished speaking, he looked at Liu Bian with a satisfied smile, not believing that any other army could match his strength.
「Good, Xuande did well; the fifty thousand troops all have the strength of third-rate martial generals, and moreover there are seven people who have broken through to the Houtian Realm. 」
Upon hearing Lü Bu's introduction, Liu Bian was also greatly astonished; a force of fifty thousand troops with third-rate martial general strength—how powerful this strength is!
「We subjects congratulate the Emperor on obtaining this powerful army! 」
The civil officials were also shocked, then immediately overjoyed; with such a powerful army, this Tian Xia, who could be their opponent!
「Good, Xuande has merit in governing the troops; first wait for the other few generals to finish their introductions, then I will bestow rewards separately. 」
Liu Bian was also in high spirits, deciding to bestow some things upon these martial generals.
「Yuan Aiqing, you will now report on the cultivation status of the fifty thousand Yulin Army! 」 Liu Bian said to Yuan Shao below with a smile.
「Your servant, obeying the edict, will now introduce the Yulin Army's cultivation situation. 」 Yuan Shao immediately said respectfully.
「My Yulin Army is not as strong as General Lü Bu's troops; currently, only a few of my deputy generals under my command have broken through to the Houtian First Heaven. 」
「They are respectively: Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Chunyu Qiong, Qu Yi—four people; as for the others, the Divine General Realm includes Gao Gan, Jiang Qi, and Lü Kuang—three people. 」
「There are eight people at the first-rate martial general realm, ten at the second-rate martial general realm, twenty with the strength of third-rate martial generals; as for the other soldiers, they are all about to enter the third-rate martial general realm. 」
Yuan Shao, facing Liu Bian and the Civil and Military Officials, introduced the Yulin Army's cultivation in one breath.
「Good, Yuan Aiqing did well; although not all have entered the strength of third-rate martial generals, I expect that soon I will have an additional army of fifty thousand troops with third-rate martial general strength. 」
