"This Xing Tiexin, after unlocking the Celestial Martial Vein, can’t wait for the whole world to know."
"Look, look at the fuss he’s making, afraid no one will see it."
"Haha, why do I sense a bit of jealousy in your tone?"
"Humph, how could I not be? I’ve been stuck before the Celestial Martial Vein for so many years, and yet a youngster has overtaken , it’s simply outrageous..."
"Hey, that kid Changming is impressive, he really withstood Xing Tiexin’s spear!"
"That guy Changming, I don’t know what technique he’s practicing, but his body is as tough as Divine Iron, and he’s got the strength to move mountains, his cultivation path is completely different from ours!"
"How is it different? Didn’t he also unlock four Martial Veins? That’s what you call a prodigy, cultivating both Qi and body..."
"Yes, yes, they’re all geniuses, and I’m the only waste. I shouldn’t have co to the base today, suffering blows for nothing..."
Among several generals and Banner Masters, there were sour words, but also exclamations of admiration and praise.
In the arena, a saber strike roared, and the spear qi, sharp and unstoppable, dispersed the purple-golden sword qi, but at the sa ti, the infinite power on the Changshou Saber also shattered the spear qi and pushed Xing Tiexin back several ters.
Xing Tiexin held his spear with both hands, at this mont only feeling his palms tingling, arms sore, couldn’t help but frown and click his tongue.
"Your Qi power is truly unfair, so long without sparring, yet you’ve beco more powerful!"
Song Changming sheathed his saber, smiled, and said, "Can’t let only you make breakthroughs while I make no progress."
He and Xing Tiexin had the best relationship in the military, often teasing each other, not needing to be cautious about anything.
Xing Tiexin’s feeling was indeed not wrong, his strength had been steadily increasing these past two years.
Even without much Demon Blood Essence to consu, he could enhance his physical strength with the Witch Refining Technique plus herbal decoctions.
Now, under normal conditions, when his power fully exploded, it had already surpassed Seven Dragon Power!
And if he used the Witch Seal, it would be even more remarkable.
That saber strike just now, in fact, Song Changming hadn’t activated the Witch Seal, was just a manifestation of his normal strength, plus the Innate Gang Qi burst from four Martial Veins, and this was enough to contend with the current Xing Tiexin.
"Again!" Xing Tiexin bolstered his spirits, his eyes flashing with brilliance, once again charging at Song Changming with his spear.
The might on his spear was even greater than before, exceptionally fierce.
Gang Qi stirred the wind and clouds, each strike like a dragon rising with the wind.
Song Changming didn’t take it lightly, after all, Xing Tiexin had unlocked the Celestial Martial Vein, his combat strength had already reached the standard of a Little Flag Master!
He also employed his Second Grade Great Thunderfire Saber Technique.
This saber technique, he had practiced for two years, grinding it to the Minor Success Realm!
Executing it with great saber might, under the effect of Innate Gang Qi, the Thunderfire Sword Montum turned into substance, roaring and echoing in the School Martial Arts Arena.
The two went back and forth, exploiting their spear techniques and saber techniques, battling fiercely and enjoying the fight.
After a stick of incense ti, they finally took a break.
Xing Tiexin laid sprawled on the ground, not caring about his image, chest heaving violently, like an old smoking machine.
"Changming, you weren’t using your full strength, were you?" Xing Tiexin looked at Song Changming, who was calmly sheathing his saber without breaking a sweat, and said without much mood.
"After all, this isn’t a life-and-death battle, besides, you also have hidden spear killing techniques you didn’t reveal, right?" Song Changming gave him a glance, replying.
"And I’m good at enduring and refining the body, stamina is my advantage."
Hearing this, Xing Tiexin closed his eyes, smiled helplessly, and said, "I thought after unlocking the Celestial Martial Vein, I should be able to force you into using your full strength, but seems I overestimated myself."
Seeing this, Song Changming hesitated for a mont, thinking it’s a happy day, better not to overly discourage this friend, so he said, "You’ve just unlocked the Celestial Martial Vein, once you cultivate it to a later stage, naturally I’ll need to go all out."
"Alright, no need to comfort , I’m not competing with you, anyways I’m better than those generals in the military." Xing Tiexin chuckled.
"They’re not as good as now!"
"Want to have a drink at Chunfeng Building tonight?"
"Of course, let’s call Fu Yuan."
"..."
Coming out of the warm and tantalizing Chunfeng Building, the street felt slightly cooler, lacking the scorching heat of sumr earlier.
"General, are you heading back?" Rongjiang asked by the carriage.
"Yes, let’s go back," Song Changming nodded, getting into the carriage.
As for Xing Tiexin, Yang Zhen, and others, they were all drunkenly staying over in the comforting Chunfeng Building for the night.
Song Changming wasn’t deliberately trying to be unique, he wouldn’t restrain himself when he should indulge, just that he didn’t feel like it today.
Soon, he returned to his residence in the Third District.
"Go back," Song Changming said as he got off the carriage.
"Yes, General," Rongjiang complied, driving the carriage away.
"Young Master," A Da had heard the commotion early on and was waiting at the door.
Song Changming nodded, as he walked, he took off his robe and Inner Armor, handing them to A Da, and stepped into the study.
On the solid wood desk in the study, stacks of thick blank talisman paper were neatly piled, and there were several baskets on the floor as well.
And there were even more discarded talisman papers that failed to engrave, piled up in a waste paper box, which A Da would co in to dispose of every few days.
Just from the amount of talisman paper, it was evident that Song Changming’s interest in the Talisman Tao wasn’t just a three-minute enthusiasm; he had truly persisted for more than two years.
He basically carved out so ti from drinking and napping every day to delve into the Talisman Tao.
However, it was unclear whether he lacked talent in this area by nature, or because he wasn’t fully committed, resulting in more than two years passing, and he had only barely reached the Basic level with the True aning of Talisman Tao he exchanged from the military armory.
