The number of Xiongnu was ultimately very small. Although a few of them would occasionally appear and slaughter the elite Han army, that was more a matter of attention. In reality, even now that the Great Military Exercises had developed to this point, many veterans had not even encountered a single Xiongnu.
Jiang Guang said he had bad luck, but in reality, Jiang Guang's situation was the most normal during the Grand Martial Arts Exercise. On the contrary, situations like Zhao Ying and Yin Luo, who stirred up trouble in the Xiongnu's territory, were extremely rare. After all, the Xiongnu rushed into the small world that the Han Dynasty used for the Grand Martial Arts Exercise because they realized that their momentary accidental actions had led to the Han Dynasty discovering the Xiongnu who should have been hiding at this stage.
That's why the elite of the Xiongnu rushed up to buy time for the others to move.
Of course, there were indeed many Xiongnu people who, due to the changing world situation and the feeling of waking up to a completely different world, decided to find a tough opponent and fight them. After all, the hatred between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu was almost equal.
Wei Shuangzhen is a typical example of this. He wandered the land of the small world for a long time and did not encounter any enemies for a period of time. Or to put it bluntly, he really didn't have any enemies. He was very open-minded about the guys from Yongliang that he killed, and since they were all killed on the battlefield, basically no one would come looking for revenge.
Later, he followed Lü Bu back to Bingzhou, mainly fighting against foreign tribes and guarding the border. Naturally, he didn't have any hatred. Later, he went abroad and stopped fighting his own brothers. Naturally, the chains of hatred on him were much fewer. During the process of severing his own family's ties, Wei Shuang was just a bystander.
In the second phase, the demon god descended to earth. Wei Shuang, as a top-tier veteran, was at least rewarded by Chen Xi with a demon god. However, unlike the others who refined the demon god into divine weapons, his situation was similar to that of Chen Hong and Xue Zhou; he put the demon god into a pot.
Unfortunately, the demon that landed on Wei Shuang's side was in the form of a wild boar. Although Wei Shuang was quite curious about it because of its talent, that curiosity eventually turned into appetite. Wei Shuang spent a lot of effort stuffing the demon into a pot and cooking it.
The whole process was bloody and brutal, but in the end Wei Shuang did pick and choose what to eat. Then, like Chen Hong and Xue Zhou, he received the so-called three stages while eating.
Wei Shuang was very determined to fight the Xiongnu. Whether it was for the sake of a title or because of the Bingzhou people's hatred of the Hu people, Wei Shuang wanted to kill a few Xiongnu. However, luck is a fickle thing, and at least so far Wei Shuang has not encountered a single Xiongnu.
"Old Wei, save me!" When Yan Liang rushed out of the woods, his eyes lit up when he saw Wei Shuang. Damn it, this was his way out!
Although Wei Shuang was often criticized because of Sun Er, most veterans acknowledged his fighting ability. He was just unlucky to be completely overwhelmed by Sun Er. If he had a different opponent, Wei Shuang's performance would definitely not be bad. So when Yan Liang rushed out of the forest and saw Wei Shuang, he was overjoyed. Wouldn't it be great if he and Wei Shuang joined forces to kill this Tyne?
"Yan Liang?" Wei Shuang was taken aback, then jumped down from a nearby rock. He then sensed a powerful aura emanating from the woods behind him. He immediately extended his right hand, signaling Yan Liang to step aside and leave this matter to him.
"The Huns?" Wei Shuang looked at Tien, who had emerged from the forest and quickly recovered to his peak condition by adjusting his breathing. There was no fear in his eyes, only the excitement of finally having met his opponent.
"This stance?" Tien looked at Wei Shuang. "Wolf riders?"
"It seems my luck has turned around. I originally thought the Northern Xiongnu Imperial Guard was finished and there would be no chance to replenish it, but I didn't expect to encounter it in a place like this." Wei Shuang revealed a happy smile, which was both the excitement of encountering the Xiongnu and the pride of replenishing his own strength.
Tien looked at Wei Shuang with a headache. As a former member of the Northern Xiongnu Imperial Guard, the type of soldier he hated the most was the wolf rider. The wolf rider was born to suck the blood of the Northern Xiongnu Imperial Guard. The Northern Xiongnu Imperial Guard had accumulated all the skills of their heroes over several hundred years, forming a complete path for advancement from the bottom up.
Although the existence of the essence of heaven and earth makes the path of skill no longer advantageous compared to smelting, complete skill mastery, the means of simulating talent, and the methods of combining multiple skills are still of great significance to soldiers with high smelting.
After all, these can be accumulated. When the path of refinement comes to an end and there is no way to continue improving, honing these skills can further enhance one's performance, thereby achieving a significant improvement in actual combat even without a qualitative change in one's own foundation and talent.
Moreover, and very importantly, the path of skill is not limited by advancement. The skills you master when you refine Qi into Gang can still be used when your internal energy leaves your body, and may even exert greater power, because this thing is essentially about mastering your own power.
This is why, even after Qiu Linnian advanced to the point of internal energy leaving the body, with only illusions remaining from his six talents, he could still fight Zhao Ying head-on with his weapon. In contrast, after Xu Burui's six talents collapsed to the point of only boundary walls, he had virtually no ability to resist Jiang Bin.
Essentially, this is a matter of cultivation path. It's true that smelting has advantages, but skills will never go out of style. Although the amplification is not as good as smelting, it can be used indefinitely.
Especially for someone like Wei Shuang, who has already reached the end of the path of forging and will sooner or later advance to the stage of internal energy leaving the body, and then disintegrate his own combat system based on talent forging, it is very meaningful to improve his skills under such circumstances. Moreover, killing the Xiongnu Imperial Guards and taking back the Xiongnu's four-hundred-year-old skill inheritance was the very purpose for which the Wolf Riders were established.
Previously, this goal was impossible due to the destruction of the Northern Xiongnu Imperial Guard, but now, fate has presented this opportunity to Wei Shuang again.
“Wei Shuang, Commandant of Jiuyuan, Bingzhou, Han.” Wei Shuang straightened up and looked at Tien, the smile on his face fading, leaving only a cold glint of intent to kill him.
"Tien, the Chief of the Northern Xiongnu Guard and concurrently the Right Wise King." Tien glanced at Wei Shuang, but in the end, he couldn't be bothered to hide his identity. He was indeed the Right Wise King now, although it was Huyan Luan who had conferred the title beforehand, as a way to give Tien a dignified funeral. But tell me, isn't that right?
Wei Shuang was stunned. The guy in front of him was actually the Right Wise King. What a joke.
At the same time, all the Han officials who were paying attention to Tien were stunned after Tien spoke. What the hell? Who do you say you are? The Right Wise King of the Northern Xiongnu? Are you kidding me!
"Are you kidding me?" Liu Tong asked Chen Xi.
"I don't know. They might not be joking at a time like this. It seems the situation with the Xiongnu is more complicated than I thought." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "This is really a big fish."
"Capture him alive if possible, kill him if not, absolutely do not let him escape," Liu Bei said succinctly, and then transmitted his voice to Wei Shuang.
“Since he is the Right Wise King, we can’t face him in this state.” Wei Shuang chuckled, and then his body erupted with an extremely powerful aura. Under Sun Er’s suppression, he truly completed the decathlon twice. After abandoning all his talents, Wei Shuang also truly reached the limit of normal will. It can be said that Wei Shuang has finally caught up with Sun Er in terms of numbers.
Of course, I'm referring to pure numerical values. If Sun Er really wanted to say something, it wasn't that he twice attempted the decathlon. He took a different path, but his innate talent was better. Well, at this level, talking about innate talent is meaningless. Everyone is about the same. Because of his normal willpower breaking limits, Sun Er's control over power is far stronger than Wei Shuang's. This is why Wei Shuang can't beat Sun Er no matter what. His various numerical values are too similar to Sun Er's, but he lacks the ability to control them.
Tien lowered his brows slightly, realizing that the situation was not good. He had originally planned to kill Wei Shuang quickly in order to expose less of his own power, but now, Wei Shuang's performance was a genuine seventh level, and the almost transparent divine light in his eyes showed that Wei Shuang's normal will had also broken through the limits.
When the Wolf Riders' talents are not fully utilized, they are a type of unit that is somewhat lacking in all aspects and can easily be overwhelmed by the opponent's strengths. However, when the Wolf Riders develop to the third talent level, their advantages over other unit types will become very obvious, and the losses on the battlefield will also be greatly reduced.
Once the Wolf Riders have developed to the level of Wei Shuang and Sun Er, unless you have overwhelming strength, don't even think about a quick victory; to be precise, you simply can't win.
Tien is very strong, having reached the seventh level of the Forging Realm and even ascended to the eighth level in the past. However, the curse of the world on humanity caused Tien to fall back to the seventh level. Theoretically, he is stronger than most seventh-level cultivators and belongs to the elite among the strongest. Even so, it would be extremely difficult for him to kill Wei Shuang quickly.
Worse still, the Wolf Riders have been waiting for the Northern Xiongnu Guards. They desperately need that skill that has been passed down for over four hundred years. In fact, because of the Wolf Riders' unique nature, if Tien uses it in front of Wei Shuang, Wei Shuang might use it in the next round.
This made Tien somewhat hesitant to act rashly; it was too difficult!
"This is really..." Tien looked at Wei Shuang with anger and killing intent, but in the end he calmed down. He decided to use his strongest strength to kill Wei Shuang as quickly as possible, even if Wei Shuang would learn some techniques that he shouldn't have, techniques that the Northern Xiongnu predecessors had developed and optimized with their lives!
As they were talking, Tien drew his sword and attacked. This sword was snatched from the Han Dynasty, and its quality was excessively good for Tien. This almost overwhelming material advantage made Tien feel a little apprehensive. In just a few decades, the development of the Han Dynasty had exceeded expectations!
The shockwave, the convergence, the superposition of power, the triple-force technique, the extension of the air cut, the talent of smelting and the various skills he had mastered were perfectly integrated. With just one strike, he unleashed the peak power of the Sevenfold Smelting. This is also the reason why Tien has been rampaging through the small world and has not yet encountered any ghosts. He is really strong, too strong.
Wei Shuang stared intently at Tien's movements. Tien's unbridled will and extraordinary physique made him naturally imitate Tien's attack. He imitated the accumulation of power, the overlapping of muscle exertion, and the angle of the swing to create shockwaves that wrapped around his weapon and extended into his innate power.
"Bang!" The two white shockwaves collided directly between the two sides. Wei Shuang's shockwave was slightly smaller and was quickly disintegrated after only a brief moment of resistance. However, this short time was enough for Wei Shuang to easily dodge. More importantly, he learned the technique!
At this moment, Wei Shuang felt extremely incredulous. It was clearly the first time he had seen it, and he was just imitating the other person's move, but damn it, he actually managed to do it!
Even though the power wasn't quite there, Wei Shuang had a feeling that he only needed to use it three or four more times to completely master it, and even use it as a regular attack. This wasn't right. Any technique that could unleash the full power of one's talent required at least three or four years of practice and imitation, at least that's what the books said!
Wei Qing: Are military treatises useful? If they were, why would I bother with them?
Tien's face turned extremely grim, but since he had already started, he couldn't stop there. He had to kill the thief in front of him as quickly as possible!
With a swing of his sword, the greatsword, carrying a shockwave, sliced through the atmosphere. The shockwave cut across instantly, and the continuing shockwave was directly attached to it. The sword light, like a flash of fire, slashed horizontally towards Wei Shuang. Moreover, due to the spread of the shockwave, Wei Shuang was no longer facing a straight sword light, but a wall of fire like a net, accompanied by a slicing shriek.
Without a second thought, Wei Shuang swung his spear, unleashing a triple burst of power that extended into the air. He then reversed the flow, causing a shockwave to explode from within. The moment the shockwave struck the wall of fire, a V-shaped cutting mark sliced through the wall, which was accompanied by a sharp, piercing shriek. Wei Shuang easily broke through and charged towards Tien with his spear.
At this moment, Zhao Yun's expression became extremely solemn. The sword technique used by Tien, and the accompanying light and flame, were based on the same logic as the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix. If it continued to develop further, as long as one's physical condition was up to par, it would become the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix.
The shrill cutting sound, if it were any faster, would have turned into a bird's song.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also looked at Tien with serious expressions. They saw some common combat techniques for internal energy separation in Tien, such as changes in weight and speed. These things look simple, but Guan Yu and others are still using them now.
Having barely managed to deflect Wei Shuang's spear, Tien's expression turned extremely ugly. Just now, the opponent had created a visual illusion, and he had to use a heavy sword strike to force the opponent back. This was called heavy weapon strike, blunt strike, and further advanced heavy weapon crushing strike in the talent system. In terms of technique, it was the light and heavy sword strikes that Lu Bu's hammer, Wang Yue, unleashed.
Lu Bu still uses this thing to this day because it's very effective. This technique is actually not easy to master. Even Lu Bu only managed to use it after practicing for two days. Although the power Lu Bu displayed at the time was extremely terrifying, almost knocking Zhang Fei's spear away, Lu Bu still needed time to practice.
Tien was able to use it with such ease only because of the inheritance of his military spirit and nearly fifty years of honing his skills. However, Wei Shuang seemed to have an epiphany after seeing Tien use it, and used it in his next move. Although it was his first time using it, and the shot was only 20% or 30% heavier, it was still incredibly powerful.
"No, no, impossible! It took me fifty years to master this skill, how come you learned it in just two glances?" Tien's blade deflected Wei Shuang's spear, absorbing the power and retreating directly out of Wei Shuang's attack range. Seizing this opportunity to catch his breath, he questioned Wei Shuang with a hint of resentment.
"Do you think I would explain why to the Huns?" Wei Shuang observed Tien absorbing the impact and applying it to his swordsmanship, and naturally tried to imitate him. He did his best to simulate the operation, and Wei Shuang learned about 70% of it after just one glance!
This impact then transformed into the power of Wei Shuang wielding his spear, accompanied by a shriek as he swung his heavy sword directly at Tien. Moreover, the triple stacking of power, along with the use of his body's muscles, added techniques that should be categorized as muscle liberation. With just one strike, Wei Shuang unleashed a destructive force that exceeded his limit before encountering Tien.
Tien's expression grew increasingly grim. He could clearly sense his opponent's improvement, and the speed of this improvement was terrifying, making it impossible for Tien, who had originally intended to finish the battle quickly, to take down Wei Shuang swiftly.
As for suppressing himself and not exposing the skills he had accumulated over hundreds of years, let alone whether he could do it against Wei Shuang, even if he could, many of them had already been integrated into Tien's body instincts. The smoothness in his every move was a skill in itself.
Putting aside everything else, the way Tien habitually adjusts himself to his peak condition with each breath, suppressing the depletion of physical strength, endurance, and mental energy, is actually a very precious technique that the Huns spent over a hundred years perfecting and optimizing.
But this kind of thing is just like the infantry manual that Guo Si taught Dalit, and the knowledge that Guo Si passed on to Dalit. What Guo Si considers ordinary things are actually very powerful things in other countries.
Similarly, many of Tien's instinctive skills, which he himself was unaware of, were actually the result of the Huns spending countless manpower and resources, and possessing the Northern Hunnic Guard, a military legion capable of stacking countless skills, in order to reproduce and optimize multiple skills on an individual level and achieve a perfect balance.
This is why the techniques of the Han Dynasty and Rome were scattered and not systematic or integrated, and could not be combined with each other. This is because the means of using various techniques are completely different. For an average person, combining two different techniques is as difficult as drawing a circle with the left hand and a square with the right hand.
Furthermore, the more skills one employs, the more resources one needs to mobilize and coordinate, and the more sophisticated the coordination becomes. Often, the coordination of multiple skills can collapse if any link in the chain goes wrong.
This is also what Huangfu said: when there are only a few techniques, it is not inferior to smelting, but when there are many, individual aptitude really comes into play.
Those who can use plural techniques and successfully combine them are truly exceptional individuals.
However, the Northern Xiongnu Imperial Guards can perfectly replicate this outstanding individual. Their military spirit is characterized by inheriting the skills and traditions of all their predecessors. Because of this uniqueness, the veterans of the Northern Xiongnu Imperial Guards can use more than a dozen skills at the same time and then gradually optimize them into a whole.
More importantly, the Northern Xiongnu Imperial Guard had a way to escape the operation. When I combine them in this way, I use a lot of military spirits, which means that this is not in line with human usage. When I use a little military spirit, it means that the optimization direction of this scheme is correct.
If I can execute this combination of techniques when military spirit is completely unnecessary, it means that this method is entirely correct and can be passed down to ordinary veterans.
For example, the technique that Tien used before, which suppressed all the physical and mental exhaustion from chasing his opponent simply by breathing, is actually very important for any empire. It is a restorative adjustment technique that can be popularized.
Even if a normal person cannot use it completely, just extracting a part of it is still a very advanced thing. However, for Tien, this kind of thing is instinct.
Furthermore, when Tien is maneuvering at high speed, there is actually very little movement. When necessary, he can even lightly touch the ground to move at super high speed and in an extremely agile manner, almost hovering. These are all derivative techniques of this set of skills.
Other skills, such as heavy sword techniques during normal attacks, the use of strength, and the combination of multiple forces, are basically Tien's instincts. There are even some that Tien himself is unaware of, which is why Wei Shuang realized he had struck gold as soon as he saw Tien.
For most veterans, Tien's skills are meaningless because they are unlearnable, but for Wei Shuang, they are a gift from God. All the skills Tien can use are what he needs and are important pieces to complete the Wolf Rider puzzle.
This is also why Wei Shuang's combat power has broken through his own limit and quickly reached another level in just a short time. His mobility, flexibility, strength, defense, reaction speed and perception brought by breathing have all increased. The more than 30 rounds of fighting between Wei Shuang and Tien have made Wei Shuang 20% stronger.
At this moment, Wei Shuang finally understood why the Wolf Riders had always been rumored to be lacking something. They were only elite, not the top elite, because they hadn't been able to make up for it with the Northern Xiongnu Imperial Guards. Now, after only a few big gulps, Wei Shuang's eyes were already shining. Damn, after absorbing Tien, I can kick Sun Er like a ball. It's so satisfying, so incredibly satisfying! This rate of progress!
