Weichi Feihu’s words caused various expressions in the other three!

Wei Gongyan’s expression was one of full agreement, even showing some gnashing of teeth, while Wei Gongzhan and Shen Yuan furrowed their brows involuntarily.

"Junior General, have you discovered anything?" Shen Yuan gazed intently at the other person, his heart feeling as though it was weighed down by a stone.

Honestly speaking, before entering the academy he couldn’t wait for the Imperial Army to come and eliminate Chen Qing, the heretic, but after spending more than ten days in the academy, his thoughts had changed.

Almost every day, aside from reading, he was worried about when the court would come to annihilate this place.

Now he truly hoped it would be later... even later, as he still had so many books left to read...

"The power here is even more bizarre!" Weichi Feihu extended his palm, and a hot power rose between his hands: "In the army, performing excellently earns a so-called Blessing Force from the Fight God; this power feels as if it springs out of nowhere. I was startled when it was infused into me, but later I found that this power is very mild, and it doesn’t conflict with my own Bloodline Power at all.

It not only strengthens muscles and bones and enhances qi and blood when merged into the body but can also be stored in the meridians, forming a kind of auxiliary power boost, which is very handy! "

As he spoke, he even demonstrated it. Everyone saw the power in his hand rise, forming a bright yellow gaseous sphere in his palm.

"This is..." Wei Gongyan felt a jump in his heart.

Manifestation?

This was an advanced technique exclusive to the top Bloodline families.

Normal warriors might possess strong qi and blood power within their flesh, manifesting as strength, speed, or even keen senses, but top-tier Bloodlines like the Golden Crow Bloodline could use refined blood to invoke ancient talents, allowing a certain elemental power to manifest.

For the middle and lower tier families, this was a vain hope.

Power manifestation meant a variety of techniques. In battle, such power could cause earth-shaking destruction, a truly lethal weapon. Does the Tiger Guard Army of Lyuzhou City also possess this kind of power?

Weichi Feihu said excitedly: "Although my Weichi Clan has top-level bloodline, we cannot manifest power. If my Weichi Clan had the power of manifestation, our Flying Roc Tribe would certainly not be inferior to the Golden Crow!"

These words were somewhat rebellious, but it was the truth.

The Weichi Clan could fly and had boundless strength; the refinement of their qi and blood by their bloodline was not at all inferior to the Siao Family of the Golden Crow Bloodline.

However, the only difference was the ability to manifest power, and it was this gap that made the Weichi Clan serve as a vassal family to the Siao Family for hundreds of years!

"And this power is extraordinary!" Weichi Feihu toyed with the stream of energy in his palm, and in the next instant, everyone suddenly felt a gravitational force around them, causing the vicinity to experience a brief state of weightlessness, and their complexions changed drastically!

"See that?" Weichi Feihu laughed excitedly: "This power can manipulate Elemental Power. We warriors can use the earth’s power like Magicians. Shen Yuan, you are also from a Magician background, that technique I just used resembles gravity magic, doesn’t it?"

Shen Yuan nodded dumbly: "It’s different, but... indeed very similar!"

"Hehe..." Weichi Feihu carefully retracted the power and said: "This power is precious.

Most of it is used to enhance the body. It is very rare to be used in external manifestation like I just did.

The fact that Fight God can keep bestowing these soldiers with such power, honestly speaking, is even more handy than Bloodline Power, no wonder their combat strength is so extraordinary! "

"I knew it!" Wei Gongyan said fiercely: "How could that common soldier, Di Yun, be a match for me? Turns out he was using such crooked methods!"

While Wei Gongyan denounced it as crooked methods, his eyes were bloodshot, obviously craving the power Weichi Feihu had displayed!

Wei Gongzhan was also shocked into speechlessness, and after a while he finally asked: "Then... if the Fight God can continuously transmit this power, won’t the soldiers of Lyuzhou become invincible?"

Based on the demonstration by their young master just now, if every soldier used this power like a Technique for external manifestation, presumably only ten thousand such soldiers would be needed to flatten the Capital City, right?

"Naturally, it’s not that exaggerated...

" Weichi Feihu explained enthusiastically: "First of all, each person has a limit to the amount of power they can carry. This power is like water, it will flow into your meridians, but the capacity of human meridians is also limited. What I took out just now is already thirty percent of my body’s capacity.

For other ordinary soldiers, their whole body can probably only withstand about one-tenth of mine. "

"Oh, I see..." Wei Gongzhan immediately nodded: "Then it barely makes sense."

"But this capacity can be improved," Weichi Feihu continued: "The greatest use of this Blessing Force is not to use externally, but to strengthen the body. As I mentioned before, enhancing muscles and bones can make one’s qi and blood stronger, reinforcing the flesh can increase strength, and expanding the meridians, that is to say, impacting the dantian, can widen the meridians.

It is said that some Fifth-Level Fighters have strengthened their meridians to a level where they can contain about fifty times the qi capacity of a normal warrior, and they can also create this power through the dantian. "

"Create it themselves?" Wei Gongzhan’s complexion became somewhat horrified at the possibility...

"Terrifying, isn’t it?" Weichi Feihu squinted his eyes: "It’s exactly what you are thinking. Those higher-level fighters can distribute their self-generated power, just like the Fight God, to others!"

Wei Gongzhan: "!!!".

-------------------------

"Truly inconceivable... how can such a being exist?"

Meanwhile, far in Nanyang, Tian Heng and his group, who had been following Chen Qing for more than ten days, finally understood the principles behind those fighters after observing them for over ten days.

At this time, Chen Qing was leading thousands of newly enlisted fighters of Nanyang City to reclaim a large county with a population of one hundred thousand people. Over the course of these days, with Chen Qing’s campaign only three days in, they had already taken back two such large counties.

The speed of their progress filled Tian Heng with intense unease!

The first source of unease came from the actual combat strength of the soldiers under Chen Qing’s command, which was far stronger than expected; they fought not only with unparalleled bravery but also with reckless abandon!

Nearly every one of them excelled in both magic and martial arts; their tough skin protected them from the bites of the living dead. Often faced with nearly tenfold the number of enemies, they could rout the living dead as easily as slicing through melons and vegetables.

But that was not the key point; the key was that the soldiers’ power... could be transmitted!

Yes, just like the poisonous infection of the living dead, the soldiers’ power could actually be passed on to one another!

Everywhere Chen Qing’s soldiers went, they would rescue large numbers of able-bodied citizens and then encourage them to enlist. Within just a few days, the new soldiers could master the same power as them!

Although the new recruits still fell short of the veterans in experience, fighting spirit, and strength, the growth rate of the new soldiers was simply unimaginable.

Within days, they were able to fight ordinary living dead, and if they trained within the city for ten more days, they would grow strong as calves, visibly more powerful from the inside out!

If it were not for the fact that these soldiers joked, raged, and cursed like normal people, Tian Heng would have thought they were like those living dead outside, with insects boring into their brains and their bodies mutated!

"What... exactly have you done?"

The deputy at Tian Heng’s side couldn’t help but ask as if looking at a monster.

"Didn’t I say before?" Chen Qing replied helplessly. "The commoners suffer calamities, the divine spirits show enlightenment. Or do you gentlemen think this power just sprung out of nowhere?"

"Nonsense!" Tian Heng, looking at the spirited soldiers on the city walls, spoke in a lowered voice. "How many times have the commoners faced calamities before? In the thousands of years of our human race’s existence, we’ve endured countless disasters. When corpses littered the field, didn’t the heavens show pity?

Now it appears with you, and the divine spirits reveal themselves?

What were they doing in the past? Sleeping? "

"Yes..." Chen Qing chuckled. "They were deep in slumber, naturally unaware before. But now it’s different.

.." Chen Qing also looked at the city walls, where the power transmitted was growing more and more.

He laughed and said, "From now on, our human race will rely on ourselves, ready to face any calamity in this world! "

"You..." Tian Heng was taken aback, staring at Chen Qing as if he had recalled something, and his expression became somewhat enlightened.

"Marquis Tian Heng?" Chen Qing curiously looked at the other. "What’s the matter with you?"

"Nothing..." Tian Heng suddenly turned away, hiding a barely noticeable sadness in his eyes, then all of a sudden said, "Chen Qing, is it?"

"Do you have any orders, Marquis?"

"Are you certain there are no side effects to these soldiers growing like this?"

"I am certain..." Chen Qing said confidently.

That’s the benefit of the Divine Path; the more faith there is, the more confidence the divine spirits have.

The more confidence they have, the more power they have, which will continuously feed back to the faithful.

In return, the faithful will believe even more.

This virtuous cycle, even if a divine spirit falls, the steady stream of replacements makes it an almost perfect system.

As long as the belief in the divine nation remains strong, once established, it becomes an extremely difficult force to break.

"Really?" Tian Heng gave Chen Qing another look, hesitating with words on the tip of his tongue. After what seemed like a long time, he hesitantly said, "Do you... know Yu Xiaopang?"

"What’s that?" Chen Qing was startled. Why would such a serious person suddenly spit out such a silly term?

Who was that, with such a cute nickname in ancient times?

"Nothing..." Tian Heng paused as he saw Chen Qing completely unaware, a flash of disappointment in the depths of his eyes. In the end, he shook his head and said, "I was just saying."

Saying this, he no longer focused on those bug-like soldiers and went straight toward the interior of the city.

"Listen to me, Tian Heng, I have a great plan, an incredibly awesome one. Once it’s successful, our human race will be able to stand on our own and face any calamity in this world. Do you believe me?"

A voice echoed in his mind, causing Tian Heng to close his crimson eyes and clench his fists tightly!
