Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1679: Chapter 1614: Zhuge Liang’s Smile (Part 2)

”Isn’t that Ping’er?” Zhang Fei turned his head and saw Guan Ping, Wei Yan, and the others, immediately greeting them, although his booming voice made Zhuge Liang involuntarily take two steps back.

”Uncle.” Guan Ping cupped his fists and saluted Zhang Fei, ”Looks good. I wonder how it would be if we tried it?” Zhang Fei muttered, and without further ado, lunged a spear towards Guan Ping.

The Eighteen-foot Long Serpent Spear bent into a large arc at the moment Zhang Fei suddenly exerted force, but in the next instant, it straightened abruptly. The Serpent Spear, shrouded in pitch-black mist, darted like a fierce dragon charging out from the mountain towards Guan Ping.

Guan Ping, ready at the moment of Zhang Fei’s muttering, held his Green Dragon Saber single-handedly. Suddenly, it burst into a radiance. Then Guan Ping gripped the hilt with both hands and fearlessly swung it at Zhang Fei’s spear.

”Ting!” Guan Ping struck the Serpent Spear of Zhang Fei, the overwhelming force pushing Guan Ping back three steps, but he managed to block Zhang Fei’s attack.

”Not bad!” Zhang Fei roared with delight, swinging the spear towards Guan Ping again.

Guan Ping held off Zhang Fei’s attack, his momentum boosted by threefold, drawing in countless Heaven and Earth Essence. Before Zhang Fei could control it, Guan Ping directly condensed a Legion Attack with his own refined Heaven and Earth Essence as the core!

In an instant, countless black mists burst from Zhang Fei, who quickly retracted his spear and thrust it towards the Legion Attack before him. The dark light clashed with tens of meters of azure light, shattering Guan Ping’s Legion Attack almost instantly, yet Guan Ping remained unfazed.

”Open!” Guan Ping shouted, his aura surging once more as the surrounding Heaven and Earth Essence merged with the Inner Qi within his body, intensifying the blade light on his Green Dragon Saber. Then he fiercely struck at the spearhead of Zhang Fei’s Serpent Spear.

With a loud crash, Guan Ping retreated several steps while Zhang Fei also stepped back. Guan Ping stood with one hand holding the Green Dragon Saber, Inner Qi leaking from his body, and Zhang Fei, who carried the Serpent Spear, showed no intention of attacking further.

”Impressive, even when I was your age, I was far less capable than you are now,” Zhang Fei remarked with satisfaction. ”Of course, Second Brother was also not as strong as you now back then.”

”Truly remarkable.” Huang Zhong said, looking at Guan Ping with some appreciation, ”You’ve chosen your own path, not the typical Qi Cultivation path, right?”

”Indeed.” Guan Ping nodded, sheathing the Green Dragon Saber.

”Your path is difficult, but perhaps you’ll surpass us all one day. Only your own path truly suits you,” Huang Zhong said, looking at Guan Ping and Wei Yan with a sigh, shaking his head.

Guan Ping and Wei Yan exchanged a glance, both shrugging. At their level, it was no longer possible to change paths; it did not matter whether they fully took others’ paths or their own.

”Big Brother and Second Brother, seeing you now, should be very pleased,” Zhang Fei said, his booming voice carrying a hint of joy towards Guan Ping.

”Are you here to drill soldiers?” Chen Dao walked over and inquired at this time.

”Not really, just that Wen Chang and Kongming have something to verify,” Zang Ba chuckled, then broadly explained the situation, sparking the interest of the others.

”Xiaoo Xing, could you go to my tent and gather my trusted aides?” Zhuge Liang turned to Juu Fu and asked, ”Wen Chang, don’t you need to call in your own troops?”

”No need for that, just reinforcing these soldiers will suffice. Though the effect’s not great, it’ll still show,” Wei Yan said with a smile, ”We don’t have to fight, just need to verify, very simple.”

”Wen Chang, in that case, why don’t you and I each lead a team?” Huang Zhong said, looking at Zhang Fei and Chen Dao.

”Alright.” Wei Yan nodded, then he and Huang Zhong each led three thousand men facing each other. Thankfully the camp was large enough; otherwise, they wouldn’t have fit.

Even if they just managed to set up a formation in the Martial Arts Arena, the formation was too dense; it would’ve been troublesome under a rain of arrows.

Seeing the array set up, Huang Zhong suddenly raised his saber, and an ice-blue radiance slid out from him, with an ice-blue glow appearing on all the soldiers’ weapons.

Wei Yan observed Huang Zhong displaying his Legion Talent so openly. After watching for a while, given his own understanding of Legion Talents, he largely confirmed Huang Zhong’s Legion Talent Effect.

”Watch me.” Wei Yan shouted, raising his saber, and a similar ice-blue radiance spread from him, covering the remaining three thousand men just like Huang Zhong, even covering the weapons with the ice-blue glow.

Zhuge Liang, seeing this, realized he had wrongly blamed Wei Yan earlier but was now more interested in testing whether Wei Yan’s Legion Talent had an upper limit.

”Let me try.” Zang Ba stepped forward cheerfully. While Huang Zhong retracted his talent without much ado, Wei Yan continued using his as before.

”Changwen, it seems your Legion Talent isn’t just what you can see, but rather the Legion Talent of visible generals. Whether the other opens or not doesn’t matter; once witnessed, you can reuse it,” Zhuge Liang speculated nearby. Wei Yan pondered for a moment and nodded.

After the frontline soldiers switched to Great Shields, Zang Ba activated his Legion Talent, and an earth-yellow radiance appeared on the frontline soldiers’ Great Shields. Simultaneously, Wei Yan’s Legion Talent switched to Unmovable like a Mountain.

Everyone’s expressions showed clear astonishment, for despite knowing Wei Yan wasn’t joking, seeing it firsthand was undeniably startling.

”Want to test more?” Wei Yan asked with a smile.

”Let me try too,” Zhang Liao suddenly appeared, followed by Gao Shun.

”I’m curious about the extent of your Legion Talent. Mine is rather unique. You’ve seen it before.” Zhang Liao curiously approached Zang Ba while speaking to Wei Yan.

”It can be used.” Before Zhang Liao could act, Wei Yan’s previously used Legion Talent suddenly turned into a blue-green starlight enveloping the three thousand soldiers.

Zhang Liao watched in surprise, then slightly bent his thumb and drew a cut with his forefinger, producing a wound, and said to Wei Yan, ”Apply one to me too; my Legion Talent can be divided into many parts.”

Wei Yan had seen that situation before. Back then, Zhang Liao also threw a part onto his head, healing his injuries. He knew it well.

Immediately, Wei Yan threw a segment of the Legion Talent to Zhang Liao, the blue-green starlight continually falling, and Zhang Liao’s wound healed almost as soon as the starlight touched it, uncontrollably twitching his face.

”Nothing more to say, it shares the same effect as my Legion Talent and is indeed a fixed divisible talent,” Zhang Liao confessed helplessly. ”Truly enviable.”

”Now I’m the last. Actually, I also have a Legion Talent.” As Zhuge Liang’s two hundred plus escorts arrived, he said smilingly, clearly in a great mood. ”But I can only bestow it on a few.”

”No problem, as long as it’s a Legion Talent, I can use it.” Wei Yan asserted confidently.

”That’s good.” Zhuge Liang grinned, slowly unlocking his Spiritual Talent, then the soldiers behind him suddenly gleamed with a purple-blue radiance, ”Here’s my Legion Talent’s first ability: enhancing Reaction Force.”

Wei Yan nodded, and the three thousand soldiers behind him took on a purple-blue radiance, this simple Legion Talent, although incredibly powerful, was easy to duplicate.

”Here’s the second effect,” Zhuge Liang said with a smile, as the two hundred plus escorts behind him suddenly appeared much more focused, their eyes shining with spirit, indicating they were highly concentrated.
