The nine great heavenly books, the art of war!

For the next five days, Jiang Qing began a two-point, one-line life.

He commuted back and forth between his home and the Martial Artist Alliance.

With Dragon Essence True Martial and the specially equipped medicinal liquid, Jiang Qing's strength climbed rapidly.

In just five days, he tempered 194 martial dao secret bones within his body, and his cultivation Advanced to Martial Master Stage Nine; as long as his Realm was full, he could Breakthrough to the Great Martial Master Realm.

On this day, Hong Bo said to Jiang Qing with a bitter smile, “Kid, there’s nothing more I can teach you.

You don’t need to come anymore starting today.”

Five days had passed, and Jiang Qing’s displayed Genius had already stunned him.

Hong Bo couldn't offer much more help to Jiang Qing in his Cultivation of Dragon Essence True Martial, and there was even less need to supervise his Cultivation.

Jiang Qing was purely a Cultivation maniac; once he started Cultivating, he wouldn't stop until his body's energy was completely depleted.

Such a Genius no longer needed guidance; any further teaching from him would only waste both their time.

“Uncle Hong, thank you for your guidance these past few days.

Jiang Qing bids farewell.”

Their relationship had grown much closer, and there was no longer a need for formalities.

Jiang Qing bowed solemnly, then stepped out of the training ground.

...

Leaving the Martial Artist Alliance, Jiang Qing drove straight out of the city.

He estimated that his popularity had decreased over the past few days, and his strength had greatly improved, so he planned to retrieve the treasures he had buried in previous deployments.

The usual Cultivation resources weren't a big deal, but in the deployment to the Ancient Era a few days ago, Jiang Qing found many treasures with the help of the experts from the Profound Thunder Gate, including one that was extremely helpful to him.

An hour later, Jiang Qing stood at a certain spot and began to dig.

After digging for a full two and a half hours, the treasures he had buried back then appeared before his eyes.

As expected, the Formation left behind back then had been destroyed, and all the buried items were covered by earth.

Although this was a Formation barrier he had left during his Martial Marquis stage, it was much more Advanced than before.

However, this time the burial occurred in the Early Stage of the Ancient Era, and the time span was almost 100,000 years, so it was normal for these things not to have survived.

Jiang Qing spent some time taking out all the buried treasures; the Medicinal Pills had completely lost their potency,

and among the Spiritual Artifacts, only one Earth Rank Spiritual Artifact remained, but its grade had also fallen from Earth Rank Low Grade to Profound Rank Peak.

Besides these, the most precious item was the Thousand Jun Divine Mountain.

This was a Magic Treasure that Jiang Qing, after Cultivating to the Martial Marquis Realm, had refined by stripping away his Realm; its power was extremely formidable.

As usual, he introduced the Thousand Jun Divine Mountain into his Dantian, and Jiang Qing's gaze fell upon a jade box.

Opening the jade box, an ancient yellow parchment came into view.

Using his ability to investigate the information on the yellow parchment, a series of words appeared:

【Name: Military Character Formula.】

【Grade: Indefinable, extremely high upper limit, extremely low lower limit.】

【Introduction: One of the Nine Character Heavenly Books that has been widely circulated in the Battlefield of the Heavens for a long time; each character possesses Heaven-Defying power.

Military Character Formula: Cultivators with “Force” level Military Intent can begin to Cultivate it.

Mediocre individuals can only exert the power of Profound Rank Martial Arts.

Those with sufficient Genius can unleash its power equivalent to Heaven Rank Martial Arts, with no specific upper limit; those with greater Genius can unleash even stronger power.】

“It really is the Military Character Formula from the Nine Character Heavenly Books.

I never thought I’d be so lucky to obtain such a secret treasure.”

Jiang Qing put the Military Character Formula into his Storage Ring, his face full of smiles.

The Nine Character Heavenly Books circulating in the Battlefield of the Heavens, each one is enough to become a clan's most precious treasure, and each possesses power that directly leads to the Peak of Cultivation.

For example, this Military Character Formula, if obtained by someone with strong enough Genius, can unleash unlimited power.

If a Heaven-Defying Genius obtains it, it can make cross-stage combat as common as eating and drinking.

The entry difficulty for the Military Character Formula is very high; one must possess “Military Force.”

That is, one must train a weapon to the point of perfection, capable of condensing the “Force” Realm.

How could ordinary students have such strong Genius to Cultivate a weapon to this extent? Even Jiang Qing himself has not yet achieved it.

Understanding in weaponry is not just about arduous practice; it also requires sufficient understanding of the weapon to truly condense one's own “Force.”

Fortunately, this was not a big problem for Jiang Qing.

He believed that after a few deployments, condensing “Force” would not be difficult; with the System, anything that could be accumulated over time was not difficult for him.

Back on land, Jiang Qing used a shovel to fill the pit, covered it with weeds, restoring everything to how it was before he arrived, then returned to Jiangcheng.

...

An hour later, Jiang Qing returned home.

Holding the Military Character Formula, he selected a target and began the deployment:

【Deployment Target】: Jiang Qing.

【Deployment World】: Battlefield of the Heavens.

【Deployment Time】: Ancient Era.

【Duration】: 1 year.

【Deployment Environment】: A safe place with high Spiritual Qi concentration.

【Deployment Conditions】: Practice spear techniques diligently for one year without doing anything else, striving to condense “Gun Force.”

【Deployment Start…】

【Ancient Era, you appear in a valley, holding an ancient flame spear, fully immersed in practicing Martial Arts…】

【One month has passed.

You are immersed in spear practice every day, repeating spear swings from morning till night.

In one month, you focused on swinging the spear 50,000 times, becoming more proficient in the use of the long spear.】

【Five months have passed.

You focused on swinging the spear 250,000 times, memorizing all the attack methods of the long spear.】

【Nine months have passed.

You are immersed in spear practice as usual, but you notice many spectators around the valley.

Your reputation is widely spread in the surrounding areas, and you are called a Martial Dao fanatic.】

【Twelve months have passed.

You focused on swinging the spear 900,000 times.

The long spear is like a third arm, wielded at will.

Any casual strike from you is an attack of spear technique honed to its extreme.】

【Deployment End, settling…】

...

A year of spear practice memories flooded into Jiang Qing’s mind, and it took him a few minutes to fully receive this memory.

After a year of arduous spear practice, although he did not condense “Gun Force,” his mastery of spear techniques had reached a state of perfection.

This also enhanced his combat power, so it was not a loss.

Jiang Qing could already feel the subtle barrier of spear techniques; he was not far from condensing Gun Force, and after a few more deployments, he would certainly be able to successfully comprehend Gun Force.

For the next three days, Jiang Qing's daily deployments were focused on spear techniques, and the number of times he could wield the long spear increased each year.

【You deployed yourself to the Ancient Era to concentrate on cultivating spear techniques.

You swung your spear 1,000,000 times, becoming more proficient in spear techniques.】

【You deployed yourself to the Ancient Era to concentrate on cultivating spear techniques.

You swung your spear 1,100,000 times, becoming more proficient in spear techniques.】

...

On this day,

【You deployed yourself to the Ancient Era to concentrate on learning spear techniques.

After focusing on swinging your spear 1,300,000 times, you gained an epiphany.

Various spear techniques appeared in your mind, and you finally condensed your own “Gun Force.”】

【Deployment End, settling…】

...

The memory of a year of focused spear practice appeared before Jiang Qing's eyes.

He closed his eyes slightly, feeling the Gun Force he had comprehended during the deployment process.

The ancient flame spear appeared in his hand, and with a simple thrust, a phantom figure suddenly appeared behind Jiang Qing.

The phantom figure also thrust a long spear, adding extremely strong power to Jiang Qing's strike.

Boom!

A violent explosion erupted, and the long spear in Jiang Qing's hand directly pierced through the rubber dummy in front of him.
