Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1258: Chapter 1212: Barrier Above the Heart Spirit

”Are you all so worried?” Liu Bei looked at everyone and smiled, ”Even the Barbarians do not fear the vastness of the world. They strive to conquer it. What is there for us, the heroes of the Central Plains, to fear?”

”Barbarians?” Yu Jin, who was always silent and stern, frowned and said, ”That map truly can crush one’s spirit of self-reliance, the world is too vast and the Central Plains is but a mere span!”

”Yes, barbarians. There’s a nation here named Great Qin, its power is immense, and its territory is more extensive than our Great Han,” Liu Bei pointed to a region west of the Mediterranean Sea and said slowly.

”They are conquering the world. They have risen from here and are already at our borders,” Liu Bei pointed to a place near Central Asia with a face full of sighs and said, ”Even the Barbarians have the belief to conquer the world, are you all so fearful?”

”Are there people there?” Chen Dao asked in surprise, ”Shouldn’t the Northwest be a desert? How can there be barbarians? Moreover, according to this map, that distance of one span is probably no less than ten thousand miles; who can disregard logistics and traverse such distances!”

”Shuzhi, Great Qin indeed has clashed with our people; otherwise, the Lord would not speak of it here,” Hua Xiong was silent for a moment, then stepped forward to say, ”At least given the current situation, no one present can lead an army and defeat them!”

From Hua Xiong downwards, meaning apart from Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, everyone else is included. Although Hua Xiong is modest, one cannot deny his status as a member of the Elder Faction, the earliest veteran with military merits.

All military generals looked at Hua Xiong in disbelief. Zhao Yun stepped forward gently and asked, ”Zijian, do you know something?”

”Great Qin’s archers can shoot ten waves of arrow rain during battle, and whoever comes will die!” Hua Xiong said coldly, ”So you need not doubt the opponent’s identity. As for how they came over...” Hua Xiong glanced at everyone who was looking at him, ”Does it matter?”

”What does the vastness of the world have to do with us? We only have one task, crush all enemies, and when all foes on the earth become pulp, the world will naturally belong to us who stand tall!” Hua Xiong said ruthlessly, these words were taught to him by Li Youu, paired with that fierce expression, everyone felt a sense of terror.

”Who cares how they came, what they are, or who they are, as long as they dare to come, we Great Han will send them a seven-foot burial ground! Isn’t the Central Plains small? How can the world not be large enough for Laozi to make achievements!” Hua Xiong said with a cold smile.

”Those who admit defeat can get lost. Without such a large place, where can you expand your territory? Northern Desert, Bingzhou, Liangzhou, Western Regions, is that expansion? That’s just reclaiming lost ground!” Hua Xiong said with a face full of scorn.

Li Youu estimated that nine out of ten military generals who saw the map were discouraged, so he prepared Hua Xiong’s lines in advance. As for Hua Xiong himself, there are people in this world whose source of self-confidence is never their own acknowledgment, and Hua Xiong is one of them.

Hua Xiong’s self-confidence comes from Li Youu. If Li Youu told Hua Xiong that he could lead troops to defeat Lyu Bu, Hua Xiong would believe it. His self-confidence is that lively Li Youu. Indeed, most leaders of the Xiliang Soldiers place their confidence in Li Youu.

This is much like how Liu Bei’s self-confidence relies on Chen Xi, self-confidence only handles regular situations; when accidents happen, you rely on the one person you trust most.

Hua Xiong’s wide-ranging words swept across the faces of all military generals, but because of Hua Xiong’s interruption, all generals were motivated. Why does Hua Xiong have the audacity to criticize them with geographical remarks? They are just Barbarians, slicing one is slicing, slicing a group is also slicing, slicing a nation, who fears whom!

”Lord, Huang Zhong requests to fight!” Huang Zhong stepped forward with a cold expression and glanced at Hua Xiong, being humiliated by another for the first time after so many years.

”Lord, Yu Jin requests to fight!” ”Lord, Ning requests to fight!” ”Chi requests to fight!” ”Dao requests to fight!” ”Ba requests to fight!” A large group of people rushed forward, directly inviting battle.

”Cough, cough, cough, the distance is a bit far, it’s not the time yet. Zilong, read this to everyone.” Liu Bei felt pleased.

Hua Xiong’s words were clearly taught by someone without thinking, but regardless of who it was, it was good, a crisis successfully passed.

Zhao Yun received the letter from Li Jue and read the entire contents. The inside had been corrected by Li Youu, and no longer seemed like it was written for Li Youu, merely adjusting a few words and cutting a bit, the intended recipient had profoundly changed.

Though all civil officials know who they are, sometimes appearances must be maintained, so when showing the letter to everyone, Li Youu had already transcribed and adjusted it.

After Zhao Yun finished reading, the entire place was silent. Although they couldn’t really look up to what Li Jue did, as for combat power, Li Jue plus the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, head-to-head, whoever goes would yield; it’s not something that can be blocked at will.

”Did Li Jue break through to Inner Qi Manifestation?” Yu Jin murmured, ”Legion Talent, ah, when will I have it.”

”No, Zhiran is still Qi Refining to Gang, but he broke through the requirement for Legion Talent,” Hua Xiong said silently, ”He was once the strongest among us, and he probably still is now.”

”Is that so...” Yu Jin muttered, ”So Legion Talent doesn’t really require Inner Qi Manifestation?”

As he spoke, a radiance rose from Yu Jin’s hand, and he slowly fell to his knees, realizing that door had never been locked, he just never dared to push it open.

Legion Talent, the recognition of countless soldiers around oneself, waiting to be pierced by one’s will, yet he had always been too respectful to push open that door.

”This is!!” All military generals were shocked to look at Yu Jin.

”My Legion Talent... ah.” Yu Jin said bitterly, if he had been the first to push this door open, it wouldn’t have been so. Li Jue truly was stronger than many.

The first to break through this barrier, at least in terms of faith, carries absolute confidence, and at that moment of Legion Talent’s inception, the belief extends not just to oneself, but also to the entire legion that recognizes him.

A legion where everyone is in a state of absolute confidence will have morale, battle will, and combat power far exceeding a normal legion.

This happens only once, only one person, only the first to break this despairing barrier can enjoy this confidence, a blessing from the world for the first one.

”Li Zhiran is more formidable than me...” Yu Jin said bitterly, ”Legion Talent has never been the exclusive power of Inner Qi Manifestation, but before Li Zhiran, no one could do it; he shattered that barrier on the Heart Spirit...” (To be continued.
