The third World Constraint had finally been successfully passed. Streams of energy breathed in from the depths of space-time, pouring into his mind and body. In this short period of time, Wang Chong sensed that his strength and mental energy had both grown significantly.
"I've finally passed the World Constraint!"
Wang Chong quietly said to himself, his heart brimming with joy.
This binding and repulsive force from the world was like a bomb. A single misstep could result in death. Now, he had finally passed it.
Standing up from the ground, Wang Chong stretched his body. Kaclack! A series of crisp sounds came from his body, and at the same time, an enormous Qi was released from Wang Chong's body.
This Qi broke through from the Origin Energy realm to the True Martial realm, then from Tier 1, Tier 2, all the way to Tier 3 of the True Martial realm.
After twenty-some days of cultivation, the pills that Liuzhi Zhang had given him, and the backlash from passing the third World Constraint, Wang Chong had finally smoothly stepped into Tier 3 of the True Martial realm.
"… Two more tiers and I'll reach Tier 5 of the True Martial realm, and then I can advance to the second tier of the Halo of Dusk Stallion!"
Wang Chong's eyes brightened as he inwardly rejoiced.
The most powerful aspect of the Halo of Dusk Stallion was not the increase in strength it could bring, but its strategic use on the battlefield.
A level two Halo of Dusk Stallion meant that as long as one was within the range of the halo, all warriors would receive the blessing of the halo and directly advance to Tier 2 of the True Martial realm. Their strength, speed, and dexterity would all rise to this level.
This sort of overall improvement was extremely astonishing!
Slowly ending his cultivation on the summit of the mountain, Wang Chong exhaled a cold breath. With a thought, he quickly focused his mind on the Stone of Destiny in his mind.
The longer one stayed in this world, the more severe the World Constraint and the backlash would be. Wang Chong had long since gotten used to this.
But this time, while resisting the power of the World Constraint, Wang Chong realized that the Stone of Destiny was suddenly a little different!
"The time interval has been extended to nine months, but the amount of Destiny Energy consumed is not proportional. This means that in the future, the repulsion from the world will increase at an irregular pace. In other words, I will need to consume more and more Destiny Energy in the future!"
Wang Chong lowered his head, his eyes flashing rapidly. From this change in the World Constraint, Wang Chong quickly noticed something that was hard to notice.
Although sixty points of Destiny Energy was a lot, with nine months of buffer time, it should be enough. What really caught Wang Chong's attention was the content mentioned later —
"Every time I pass the World Restraint, the Gold Liquid Organs and the Flood Dragon Bone's abilities will be strengthened. Moreover, the degree of strengthening is proportional to the number of times! "
This kind of content had never been published before.
The other items were one thing, but the Gold Organs and the Flood Dragon Bone were extremely important to him. There was basically no way to improve the former, while the latter was extremely difficult.
The "Jiao Bone" was a type of "Dragon Bone", and it was the lowest level of "Dragon Bone".
Once a warrior reached this level of cultivation, it would become more and more difficult to improve, even if they had extraordinary talent. For the "Dragon Bone" level of bone, the difficulty of each level was several times, or even more than ten times.
Even though Wang Chong had the memories of two lives, he did not have any good ideas. Otherwise, he would not have stopped at the Saint Martial realm in his previous life and not advanced any further.
If he could safely pass the World Repulsion and World Constraint, he would be able to improve the "Jiao Bone" once. This was definitely an unexpected gain.
"... Perhaps I can use this to reach a level I never reached in my previous life!"
At this moment, Wang Chong had to admit that he was tempted.
There were challenges, but there were also rewards. The greater the risk, the greater the reward. This seemed to be the hidden rule of this mysterious "Stone of Destiny."
Of course, if he failed, there would probably be a heavy punishment!
"Whoosh!"
While he was deep in thought, a sudden rustling sound came from above. Wang Chong looked up and saw a snow-white falcon flapping its wings, breaking through the snow and flying down from the sky.
"It's The Eagle!"
With a thought, Wang Chong quickly extended an arm.
There was no way that The Eagle did not know that he was training here. If there was nothing important, The Eagle would never disturb him.
Catching the snow falcon, Wang Chong took the letter from its leggings. With just a glance, his heart sank.
"If you want to leave, I can't stop you! … "
With a long sigh, Wang Chong jumped down from the top of the snowy mountain. Using the Phantom Steps, he dashed down the mountain like a phantom, leaving only shallow footprints wherever he went.
With the advancement of his martial arts, Wang Chong's Phantom Steps had improved as well. Even though he had yet to reach the level of leaving no trace on the snow, if one did not pay close attention, they would look like the footprints of a rabbit.
Sou! Several dozen zhang later, Wang Chong leaped onto a large tree. Shaking off the snow, Wang Chong quickly disappeared into the distance.
By the time Wang Chong returned to Deflecting Blade Mountain, the entire Deflecting Blade Manor was silent. Other than the twenty guards, there were only a few students.
In the cold of winter, Deflecting Blade Manor was much quieter than usual.
Wang Chong passed through the high gates and creaked up the red sandalwood spiral staircase. When he returned to the pavilion, he immediately saw a stalwart figure more than two meters tall standing by the door. This figure was pacing back and forth as if he had been waiting for a long time, his mind full of worries.
In the entire Deflecting Blade Manor, only Li Siye had such a tall figure.
It was snowing heavily, and the mountains were covered in silver. It was a scene of winter. But Wang Chong knew that spring would begin soon.
When the snow melted and the trees sprouted, the annual mobilization of troops would begin. If Li Siye wanted to head to the Western Regions and establish his career, this was the best opportunity.
Only by making preparations in advance would he be able to make it in time.
It was clear that Li Siye could not wait any longer. From the dark circles under his eyes, it was clear that he had not slept well for some time.
"Come in!"
Wang Chong said, opened the door, and walked in. Although he was extremely reluctant to let the Invincible Great General slip away from his grasp, Wang Chong was able to accept the fact that the situation had come to an end.
'Those who want to leave can't be stopped, and those who want to stay can't be beaten away. 'Li Siye's personality clearly determined that he would not easily become a servant or be ordered around by anyone.
Even if Wang Chong was a young master of a clan of generals and ministers, he would not be able to order him around.
Wang Chong lightly pulled on the bell in the room, a trick he had learned from the other world. Soon, someone knocked on the door and brought over a pot of steaming hot tea.
Wang Chong poured a cup for himself and one for Li Siye.
"Sit!"
Wang Chong pointed to the opposite side of the table.
"Un."
Li Siye seemed to have a lot on his mind. He took the tea, but he did not sit down.
Wang Chong did not mind. After sitting down, he took out a letter he had prepared beforehand from the drawer under the table and tossed it over to Li Siye.
"I've already prepared it. Take it!"
"Ah? What! "
Li Siye was taken aback, as if he had just woken up from a dream.
"A letter! Didn't you want to go to the Western Regions? I've already prepared it for you. On it are the seals of my big uncle and The King of Song, as well as the official seal of the Bureau of Military Personnel. If you take this to the Bureau of Military Personnel, you won't need to pass through the Beiting Protectorate. You can head directly to the Anxi Protectorate and fulfill your long-cherished wish. "
Wang Chong said. This time, it was his turn to be astonished. Li Siye's reaction was not what he had expected.
Wang Chong still remembered how Li Siye had looked when he first arrived. His aura had threatened to tear down his Deflecting Blade Manor. Now that he had finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish, shouldn't he be ecstatic?
"Who said that I called you here for this?"
Li Siye lowered his head to look at the letter on the table, a bizarre expression on his face.
"Is that not the case?"
Wang Chong was astonished.
"I didn't say that."
Li Siye finally regained his composure.
"I called you here because I have something to ask you."
"Ask me?"
Wang Chong was flabbergasted. Raising his head to look at this man who was even taller and more muscular than Xiong Pi, Wang Chong suddenly realized that he had been mistaken.
"What do you want to ask?"
Wang Chong asked in surprise. He was truly baffled. Just what sort of question could be more important than a letter recommending Li Siye to the Anxi Protectorate?
And just what was it that made him wait at his door, so worried that he even had The Eagle use a snow falcon to inform him to return?
"Let me ask you, just what is your Wang Clan doing?"
Li Siye suddenly glared at Wang Chong as he spoke harshly. His eyes were as sharp as swords, a stark contrast to his previous demeanor.
"What is it that we're doing?"
Wang Chong was flabbergasted. Li Siye's words had come so suddenly that not even he had been able to react, unable to follow his train of thought.
"One thousand jun of Hyderabad ore, enough Meteoric Metal to forge several thousand sets of armor … Don't tell me that this is just ordinary ore, and there are also hundreds of martial arts manuals and this Deflecting Blade Manor. Just what is your Wang Clan planning to do by preparing so many strategic resources?"
"Since ancient times, conspiring to seize the throne and raising troops in rebellion have never met with a good end. The world is at peace and the common people live in peace. I, Li Siye, am a man of indomitable spirit, and I will never do anything that goes against the Dao or helps the wicked. If your Wang Clan harbors evil intentions, I, Li Siye, will be the first to kill you, and then I will destroy your Wang Clan! "
The veins on Li Siye's forehead were bulging, and his eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. His fierce expression and furious expression made him seem like a fearsome Guardian Deity of Karmic Fire.
“!!!”
These abrupt words left Wang Chong completely dumbfounded. Wang Chong had never imagined that The Eagle would urgently call him back and say that Li Siye wanted to see him for this reason.
Li Siye had spent several months in Deflecting Blade Manor, seeing his Hyderabad ore, seeing his Meteoric Metal, and seeing his transcribed martial arts manuals …
After knowing so many of his secrets, this scoundrel actually believed that he was plotting a rebellion!
After observing him for several months, this future Invincible Great General of the Tang dynasty actually believed that he harbored evil intentions and that the Wang Clan was plotting a rebellion!
No matter how magnanimous Wang Chong was, he could never have imagined that this future Invincible Great General would be so worried and restless over this matter!
