329 Lianzhou!! Lianzhou!! (1/2)
First, Ouyang Shuo took a look at his second talent.
Ice: Attacks have an icy effect
A very simple description with only a few words. Ouyang Shuo thought back to when Song Jia trained. At that time, there was an icy chill in the air. The difference was that as it was a talent, it didn't need to be ignited from within. On the other hand, Song Jia's ice needed to be sparked off using internal strength.
For the specific effects, Ouyang Shuo needed to find out for himself in battle.
Ouyang Shuo then took a look at the new specialty born from the 6th layer of cultivation. The name seemed really amazing, but who knew what the effects were?
Way of the king: The cultivation route created by the 3 emperors and 5 kings, raises sensory abilities and gives birth to the aura of a king.
Another dumb description. Ouyang Shuo was about to go crazy. What sensory ability? What aura of a king? Gaia didn't explain anything.
Ouyang Shuo thought hard about it and still didn't understand anything. Cultivating to the 6th layer, his internal strength had become primordial energy, and the primordial energy upper limit was 100 points.
Wow, he had to start from scratch again.
Ouyang Shuo tried again. Now he could only rotate 3 cycles a day, and each cycle would increase primordial energy by one point. This meant Ouyang Shuo needed only a month to break through to the 7th layer.
On the surface, cultivation seemed to have become much easier. Ouyang Shuo didn't believe it. With how Gaia was, it had definitely dug deeper holes for Ouyang Shuo to fall into.
The fight with the iron armored beast revealed to Ouyang Shuo his weaknesses. Out of all his cultivation techniques and martial arts, he had an internal cultivation technique, a spear technique, and a palm technique, but he still lacked a movement technique.
Although his cultivation technique and spear techniques had some movement skills, those weren't pure movement techniques, so they weren't that effective.
During land battles, without a movement technique, one would be at a heavy disadvantage. If he had one during that battle, Ouyang Shuo wouldn't have been in such a bad state. When the opportunity came, he had to find a movement technique secret manual.
After breaking through, Ouyang Shuo joined in the beast clearing army. He could feel that the Yang Family Spear technique was at his bottleneck and needed some practical battles.
Every day, Ouyang a Shuo would at least kill one or two desolate beasts. As for inner pellets, he couldn’t even think about it. They wouldn't be able to be so lucky again.
Ouyang Shuo's newly mastered ability was of great use against the desolate beasts. Unfortunately, the desolate beasts were weak or too ugly, so they weren't suitable to act as mounts.
If not, Ouyang Shuo would have wanted to tame one to act as his mount.
Ouyang Shuo's addition made the operation much smoother, and it proceeded at breakneck speed every day. Ouyang Shuo predicted that in just half a month, they could clear the area until the village building spot he had chosen.
Just as Ouyang Shuo was trying to take over Yazhou, thousands of miles away, Lianzhou Basin was undergoing a huge change.
Ever since it became winter, various signs showed that the grassland tribes were about to launch a large-scale war against Shanhai City. Amongst this, there were signs of Broken Blade County being involved.
As for where to start this story, Ba Dao had actually mixed in with the Tian Qi Tribe.
The two biggest enemies of Shanhai City in the Lianzhou Basin had actually joined up. Needless to say, the Yanhuang Alliance was always hiding behind Broken Blade County.
After Bai Hua and Feng Qiuhuang upgraded to marquis, it was a huge provocation towards the Yanhuang Alliance.
If this continued, Yanhuang Alliance would be left in the dust by the Shanhai Alliance. This was something they didn't want to see.
Using Broken Blade County to cause trouble for Shanhai City and maybe even take it over was the best possibility. In the case of the Yanhuang Alliance, this was an amazing move.
The three sides had come to an agreement, and after the auction, they were planning their killing blow.
After a month had passed, the time was right.
The first to attack were the grassland tribes.
The various grassland tribes, who were holding it in for a long time, had suddenly announced war. In a moment’s time, all the farmers and herders prepared their war horses, bows, and grain, and they started to gather in the barracks.
The young men were all familiar with bows and horses, so they totally didn't need training. Additionally, they were all passable cavalry.
Usually, the herders were split up into small groups based on the herding region. During war, these small groups would become the base of the grassland army.
In a short five days, the army had gathered.
With Tian Qi tribe as the leader, the grassland tribes had gathered 50 thousand men. Tian Qi tribe alone had gathered 15 thousand. The east commander Daiqin acted as the commander while Lahkshen was his deputy.
The last member of the three generals of the Tianqi tribe was the Guards commander Beiritie China. He led 8000 troops to defend the northern region to spy on Mulan City and defend their home.
