”If this is the case, then I can try when the time comes.”
Wang Yan was still skeptical, but he had no better methods, so he was willing to try Wang Chong's suggestion.
”Right, Father, with regards to the Mighty Miracle God Formation, I once heard a little about it from Senior Su Zhengchen. Perhaps it could be of use to you,” Wang Chong added, pretending to suddenly recall something.
”The War God?!!”
Wang Yan and Xianyu Zhongtong shivered as they turned in shock to Wang Chong.
”Young Master Wang, you know the War God?!”
Xianyu Zhongtong grabbed Wang Chong's arm with an expression of extreme excitement. He knew that Wang Chong was very talented, but he had never expected Wang Chong to know the almost mythical War God of the Great Tang.
That person was a godlike existence in the Great Tang. Many people even said that he was dead. Yet Wang Chong claimed that he actually knew that most esteemed War God.
”Chong-er, are you telling the truth?”
Even his father Wang Yan seemed quite stunned.
Wang Yan had left the capital quite some time ago, so he did not know of Su Zhengchen's situation. As for Xianyu Zhongtong, he had been living in the southwest, and the distance from the capital made it difficult for news to travel, so he was even more unaware.
In truth, even in the capital, only an extremely small circle of people knew of Wang Chong's relationship with Su Zhengchen.
”Your child is definitely not lying,” Wang Chong said.
It was forbidden to speak about anything from his last life, so Wang Chong was forced to use Su Zhengchen's name to explain. In addition, Su Zhengchen spent most of his time in his estate, refusing guests at the gate. Outsiders had no chance to meet, and his father would probably be no different.
”No wonder Young Master Chong has such a profound grasp of the art of war.”
Xianyu Zhongtong's eyes glowed as if he had discovered the source of Wang Chong's astonishing talent. Although Wang Chong was still very young, everything could be easily explained if the War God was involved.
”Chong-er, what did Senior Su say?”
Wang Yan creased his brow. He was more concerned about what Su Zhengchen had said than about the source of Wang Chong's astonishing talent.
Wang Chong paused for a few moments before giving out the method to advance the Mighty Miracle God Formation.
In his last life, once the disaster descended and the countless foreign invaders began to surge in, the mountains and rivers began to shatter and the earth began to sunder. All the secret martial art manuals no longer remained secret.
As the Grand Marshal of the world, the supreme 'War Saint', Wang Chong had once researched the supreme war formations of the Great Tang to use them in war.
Although time had been limited and Wang Chong had not been able to delve into everything, he had still come away with some results. And the Mighty Miracle God Formation, as the formation that his father had been most skilled in, was one with which he had achieved the earliest results.
Although it was impossible to greatly increase the power of the Mighty Miracle God Formation in such a short amount of time, a small increase in its offensive power was achievable.
As Wang Yan listened to this method, he grew more and more surprised. He had been using the Mighty Miracle God Formation for six or seven years now and knew every detail of it by heart.
But it was precisely for this reason that when Wang Yan heard this method, he knew that this was an even higher level of the skill.
Wang Chong said that this was a kind of method, but it would be better to describe this as a technique called 'Mighty Miracle Strike'. It allowed for a large boost of power over a very short time that permitted one to unleash an abnormally powerful blow.
This move would place an incredible burden on the bodies of all the people in the formation, but it was truly capable of increasing one's offensive power.
”Senior Su really told you this?” Wang Yan muttered in shock.
All the supreme formations of the Great Tang had long histories, had been refined hundreds of times. Formations like the Mighty Miracle God could be dated to as far back as Taizong's era.
Wang Yan had never imagined that someone could further improve this kind of formation that the country relied on to an even higher level.
”Lord Protector-General, speak with my son for a bit. I have something to attend to.”
Now that he had obtained the method to improve the Mighty Miracle God Formation, Wang Yan was impatient to leave. The Mighty Miracle God Formation was linked to the outcome of this battle, so Wang Yan could not wait.
The moment Wang Yan left, Xianyu Zhongtong asked, ”Young Master Wang, why did I never hear you mention the old War God before?” This matter was truly the most surprising thing he had heard today.
”With the enemy here, how could Wang Chong be in the mood to discuss such things?” Wang Chong said with a bitter smile. From a certain perspective, it wouldn't be overboard to say that he was Su Zhengchen's successor, but Su Zhengchen was not his master in the art of war. On the contrary, Su Zhengchen had lost to him in that aspect.
If not for the urgency of the situation, Wang Chong wouldn't have even brought the matter up.
”Young Master is correct.”
Xianyu Zhongtong was filled with a deep awe.
”What thoughts does Young Master have on the coming battle?”
”Lord Protector-General, what are your thoughts on Mengshe Zhao Great General Duan Gequan?” Wang Chong somberly asked.
”Oh?”
Xianyu Zhongtong frowned, his expression turning grave. He had originally believed that Wang Chong would ask him about the Vajra God Formation. He didn't think Wang Chong would ask about Duan Gequan.
”I didn't want to say anything, but since Young Master has asked, I'll say it straight. In this war, the one I'm worried about the most isn't Huoshu Huicang, but Duan Gequan.”
