Chapter 177: Battle Starts, Against the Elves Part 1
It has been over a few weeks. During these weeks, nobody attacked them. Nobody tried to do anything at all. So, Brian just continued training. After all, he also had to increase his body cultivation.
His body cultivation rose to Wyvern Realm. Now, he could punch the Golden Core Realm cultivator to death without even using his spiritual energy. Of course, his physical strength gets boosted to a whole new level when he uses spiritual energy to activate his Celestial Chaos Body.
Brian spent most of his time in body cultivation but didn’t forget to put his time into some other things. Such as training the group and spending more time with Ping.
One time while he was training alone, Guo Ming ran toward him, panting.
"Commander... commander, we have a problem."
"What happened?" Brian opened his eyes and asked. He was sitting in a lotus position and constantly breathing in Sun’s Essence. With the help of his Divine Sun Martial Spirit, he was able to create a new cultivation technique.
Dark-Gold Sun Scripture!
It was divided into two parts.
Golden Sun Cultivation Technique and Dark Sun Cultivation Technique!
Golden Sun Cultivation Technique allowed him to absorb the sun’s essence from the surroundings and from the flame spirit body. With the help of this cultivation technique, he was able to increase his cultivation faster than ever.
Dark Sun Cultivation Technique wasn’t a similar technique even though both were from the same scripture. While Golden Sun Cultivation Technique absorbs the sun’s essence, it doesn’t require one to have Divine Sun Martial Spirit.
On the other hand, Dark Sun Cultivation Technique required Divine Sun Martial Spirit to create a literal sun inside his dantian. Unlike the normal sun, this will be a black sun, still burning with flames but hotter than the red flames.
It also has an immense gravity which gave the Gravity Law to its user. This cultivation technique was more focused on the literal sun than just a method of absorbing essence.
Hence, it was the latter part of the Dark-Gold Sun Scripture.
After Guo Ming explained the entire situation, he put down his cultivation technique and slowly stood up.
"Gather all the disciples! We are going on a war."
Brian’s eyes glowed red as he slowly spoke and walked away. Guo Ming bowed and retreated, calling all of the disciples from their personal activities.
After a while, they all gathered in front of a stage where Brian was standing with Cao Ping. Looking at them, he finally broke the silence.
"It seems like the battle is coming for us."
When they heard him, their blood started boiling. Their fighting intent was soaring. For weeks, they have been training so hard that they wanted to fight. They wanted to learn more about their newly found strength.
Obviously, it wasn’t going to be that easy but they were ready.
"Seeing how excited you all are, I am relieved that you haven’t lost the fire of battle. We were granted a year to kill a million creatures. But, I am afraid we don’t have much time."
"So, let’s not wait for the battle to come at us. It’s been over a month. So, let’s take the battle to them. Let’s crush them so hard that nobody will try to defy us. But of course, we are not going there aimlessly."
"Our main goal would be to conserve our strength and directly place ourselves in the middle ground where all strong people stay. We have eight legions from our sect alone."
"That means we might come in contact with other humans. Let’s be friends with them unless they want to pick a fight. Qing Yang will be the captain of this group."
"Unless I am involved, everyone must listen to his orders. Of course, if he dares to be hotheaded like before, I will replace him instantly. Focus on what you can beat, but also don’t lose sight of a chance to take down someone more powerful than you."
"Remember everything I taught you during these weeks."
Brian slowly raised his hand and clenched his fists.
"LET’S REACH THE TOP!"
"TOP" "TOP" "TOP" "TOP" "TOP"
Those disciples started chanting the same word again and again as they put their hands in the air just like he did. After a while, they started running toward the west.
Their enemies were coming from the west and so they had to run there.
"Commander, how many are we going to take down before taking another break?" Guo Ming asked.
"We will take rest during the night and during the day, we will keep fighting. My goal is to get the piece of land from the middle ground within a month. So, we will be fighting for a month I guess."
"Commander, do we really need to rush so much? We still have a lot of time to clear out other monsters, devils, and spirits from the surrounding. And, I don’t think we are ready to face those geniuses from the middle ground." Guo Ming asked.
His point was valid. Even Cao Ping looked at him with suspicion. She knew he was being hasty but she didn’t say anything because she believed that he must have some kind of plan.
Of course, Guo Ming and others weren’t that close so they had their own doubts.
"Have you heard of Invincible Sect remains in the middle ground?" Brian asked.
"Wait, are you talking about that sect that every other race is eyeing? Commander, we don’t have the power to get those inheritances. We will be slaughtered. Only the top geniuses of the world are allowed to enter the place where that inheritance is." Guo Ming frantically shook his head and shivered in fear.
"He is right, Brian. Those geniuses are really strong. You might be able to take them down but they will overpower you with numbers. And, we don’t have geniuses like you who could fight them." Cao Ping said.
"After staying with me for a month, you still don’t understand it, do you?" Brian covered his head with his palm and sighed.
"What do you mean?" Cao Ping looked at him with confusion and asked.
Brian turned around while running and looked at everyone else.
"Look! I am not trying to make you guys geniuses. Believe me, there will be a barrier that you can never cross between you and geniuses."
When he said that, his words hit everyone’s spirit so hard that a few of them almost got tears in their eyes.
"But, what I am trying to do is to make you guys stand on the same ground as those geniuses while being completely normal. Talent is something to nurture and strength is something to earn."
"Without putting in some effort, you can never gain that strength. Risks and Gains are two parts of the same coin. Without risk, you can never gain strength. This is the risk you need to take."
"Besides, did you forget what I said before we come here?"
Brian slowly turned his head at the front and said.
"I am not letting any of you die that easily."
Hearing his words, those disciples who previously had tears in their eyes couldn’t help but burst out.
"Commander!"
All of them jumped toward him and tried to give him a hug. Obviously, Brian dodged them. Seeing that, Cao Ping from the side chuckled, showing her beautiful smile.
At this moment, Su Xing and Mu Lan’s eyes suddenly changed. Su Ling took out a spear and Mu Lan held a dagger in his hand. Like a flash of a lightning bolt, they appeared in front of Brian and slashed the arrows.
"It seems we are getting a warm welcome. Soldiers! Are you ready for the battle?"
Brian shouted.
"Yes, commander!"
The disciples roared and took out their own weapons. In an instant, the battle had already started.
"Come out! Do you really think you can hide after showing off your position?" Brian shouted as he stood in the middle of a small forest. He knew the enemies were hiding in the trees.
Nothing really happened.
"It seems like I have to start the battle."
Brian slowly walked forward as his body started turning into magma. When the disciples saw this, they immediately retreated. The enemies in the trees were also startled by the magma but they didn’t retreat.
"I commend you for not running. But, you truly chose the worst enemy for your kind."
The next moment, his true essence burst out. His Martial Spirit was constantly revolving inside his dantian. The chaos energy flowed through his veins and strengthened his body.
At this moment, the chunks of magma came out of his body and spread out like an explosion.
[Divine Sun Fist Art- Incinerating Flame Waves]
Boom!
The flame explosion blasted those trees into ashes. The magma turned into cold stone after the explosion died down and nearly the entire forest was incinerated.
"See? I told you that you chose the wrong opponent, elves."
