Chapter 62

Please, father and all the generals, step outside the main hall.

Ma Chao feared that if he went all out, he would destroy the main hall, so he said to Ma Teng and the others.

Oh! It seems Mengqi's strength has increased a lot!

Upon hearing Ma Chao say they should go outside the main hall before he reveals his strength, they also felt curious about his power.

Given his understanding of Ma Chao, he had never seen him so solemn before.

Since Mengqi is so confident, let's all go take a look together!

Seeing that Ma Chao's own father, Ma Teng, said that, nobody wanted to say anything else.

Everyone followed Ma Teng as they walked outside the main hall.

Only seeing Ma Chao come to an open space in the courtyard, he stood still, silently pondering.

How could he maximize the shock to everyone?

Everyone looked at the field, and the figure standing there like a sharp spear caused their pupils to contract.

Young General, I hope you don't disappoint us!

Seeing this, everyone's anticipation of Ma Chao's strength grew even more.

Everyone had sparred with Ma Chao many times before, so they were still quite clear about his strength.

Before heading to Luoyang, he never had such an aura.

That his current change is likely the gain from this trip to Luoyang!

Got it!

After Ma Chao thought of which technique to use and silently said it to himself, the figure standing in the field began to move.

Only seeing Ma Chao pick up the Five-Hook Divine Flying Bright Silver Spear, he mobilized the inner energy in his dantian and infused it into the long spear in his hand.

He quickly executed the martial technique he had comprehended recently, the Thirty-Six Deadly Spear Techniques.

He fiercely attacked the stone before him.

Bang!

Upon hearing the loud bang, everyone immediately looked toward the field.

Only seeing that the previously intact boulder had now vanished without a trace.

In the field, aside from the upright Ma Chao holding his long spear, nothing remained but scattered stones on the ground.

Hiss...

After seeing the scene clearly, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.

A bone-chilling cold shot from the tailbone straight to the forehead, and cold sweat poured out.

This spear strike, fortunately hit the stone; if Ma Chao's spear had been aimed at them, it would have been...

Thinking of this, everyone shivered simultaneously, cold sweat pouring over their bodies.

Moreover, Ma Chao's superhuman strike also dealt a huge blow to Ma Teng.

Even such a huge boulder couldn't withstand the might of his son's single spear thrust.

How on earth did he manage that!

"You... you... you really... are... my son... Mengqi?"

Ma Teng, having regained his composure, pointed a trembling finger at Ma Chao in the field, his voice stuttering and shaking as he inquired.

Seeing Ma Teng's panicked, utterly disbelieving expression, Ma Chao felt an inexplicable joy.

He immediately retorted angrily: "Father, what nonsense are you spouting? How could I not be myself?"

After saying that, he gave Ma Teng a big eye-roll, his gaze toward Ma Teng tinged with a hint of contempt.

Listen, is that something a father could say?

Who questions their own son like that?

After seeing Ma Chao's gaze, Ma Teng also blushed a little, feeling embarrassed, never would have thought that he, as a father.

Unexpectedly, he was frightened by his own son!

"Hahaha, well, I wasn't shocked by your strength, was I?"

Ma Teng's old face flushed red; looking at Ma Chao, he spoke embarrassedly.

At that moment, Pang De and the others also snapped out of their shock.

Their gazes toward Ma Chao were filled with reverence, yet also tinged with a hint of fear.

"Mengqi, honestly tell me, just how strong is your strength now?"

Ma Teng, with a solemn expression, asked Ma Chao.

"Put it this way! My current strength can easily handle ten of my former selves! And I can win easily!"

Ma Chao thought for a moment, then replied with a smile to Ma Teng.

"What! That strong?!"

Ma Chao's answer wasn't just shocking to Ma Teng.

The others, too, were shocked, unable to believe it, and exclaimed in disbelief.

"What kind of Martial Dao technique is this, really that powerful?"

Thinking of what Ma Chao said, his strength came only after cultivating that so-called Martial Dao technique, making him this strong.

Ma Teng couldn't help but ask him.

"This isn't necessarily the case; it mainly depends on the grade of the technique."

"According to what I know, this Martial Dao technique also has strengths and weaknesses."

"From low to high, they are divided into Yellow Grade, Mystic Grade, Earth Grade, Heaven Grade, and each grade can be further divided into Lower, Middle, Upper, and Extreme Grades."

"What I cultivate is the Martial Dao technique practiced by military officers in the Court, the Heaven and Earth Creation Martial Canon, which is an Upper Grade Yellow Grade technique."

Currently, I have only cultivated to the first layer, just reaching the strength of the second level of the Postnatal Realm.

Ma Chao, addressing Ma Teng and the others, gave an overview of Martial Dao, and then spoke of his own strength.

He couldn't help but show a hint of pride on his face.

In just a month, he broke through to the second level of the Postnatal Realm.

This strength, under Liu Bian who commands many talents, is also noteworthy.

So, Ma Chao indeed has grounds for pride.

"Young General, the Postnatal Realm you mentioned—isn't that the realm after the First-rate Martial General?"

Pang De, having regained his composure, asked Ma Chao doubtfully.

This Pang De, true to Xiliang, aside from Ma Chao, is one of the two First-rate Martial Generals.

"Your guess is correct; this Postnatal Realm is indeed the realm after the First-rate Martial General."

"However, after the First-rate Martial General, there is still the Divine General Realm, and only then comes the Post-Heaven Realm."

"The former number one martial general under heaven, Lü Bu of Bingzhou, was a martial general of the Divine General Realm."

Ma Chao explained what he knew to Pang De and the others.

"However, that's all in the past; since General Lü Bu submitted to His Majesty, his current strength is the strongest aside from His Majesty."

"The realm before the Postnatal Realm, with the martial techniques you practice, achieving it is also not impossible."

"But if one wishes to break through to the Postnatal Realm, without the appropriate cultivation method, it is impossible to break through to the Postnatal Realm."

"And the main point of the Postnatal Realm is to open the dantian, generate internal energy within the body, and when confronting an opponent, one can mobilize the internal energy in the dantian to fight."

"Just now, the attack I used employed internal energy, which is why it had such strong destructive power."

"Hiss—"

Upon hearing Ma Chao's words, those present again fell into deep shock.

In a brief moment, they themselves couldn't even count how many times they had experienced such shocks.

However, everything Ma Chao described completely overturned their understanding of the world.

However, in a short time, everyone found it somewhat hard to accept this reality.

One should know, when they first learned of the existence of Martial Dao, the officials in the imperial court, and Ma Chao himself, were no different from these people now, feeling utter astonishment.

The impact of that overturned cognition on them can be imagined!
