The Military God's Martial Arts

Watching the two enter the inner hall and close the door, Ying Zhou couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. "Everyone says the War God has a bad temper and is arrogant, but I see he's quite polite to Si Ming."

Xia Guanxue said, "You're arrogant because you're not strong enough to earn his attention, that's all."

"No, maybe it's an illegitimate child?"

Xia Guanxue sneered, "Why didn't you say that to my face?"

Ying Zhou returned a look that said, "Do you think I'm stupid?"

Murong Wu quickly stopped the two from discussing this topic. If they were caught or overheard, it wouldn't be something that could be easily dismissed as "awkward."

The three waited in the hall for two hours, until Ying Zhou was getting impatient, before Si Ming finally strolled out from the inner palace.

"What battle plan? It's been discussed for so long!"

"Keep such a stupid question to yourself. Don't voice it and show your ignorance. If it's a plan that can be discussed, he'll tell you without you asking. If it's a plan that can't be discussed, asking won't help."

Xia Guanxue made a sarcastic remark as usual, then looked at Si Ming, "You have signs of fighting on you, and your True Qi is quite depleted. Did you fight with the Universe-Shaking Divine General inside again?"

Si Ming remarked, "It was less of a sparring match and more of a mentorship. Haha, I benefited greatly."

Xia Guanxue tentatively asked, "Is there anything you can say about the plan?"

Si Ming pondered for a moment, then sighed softly, "People say that the martial arts of the God of War God and the wisdom of the Military God of War are what make the martial arts world most wary. But I say that the wisdom of the War God and the martial arts of the Military God are truly unfathomable."

"The wisdom of the God of War God? You're not kidding, are you?"

Ying Zhou blurted out the question instinctively, then nervously glanced into the inner palace. Seeing no one emerge, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "If his wisdom is truly unfathomable, why would he jump into the pit dug by the Military God?"

"Rather than saying that the Military God dug a pit, it's more accurate to say that the God of War God dug it himself and jumped in. Have you forgotten? He provoked the masked female general in front of the Military God, which wasn't just a momentary lapse in judgment, but a test."

What are you testing?

"Test the Military God's stance and resolve, see if he will rally all the Spirit Transformation to attack together, join forces with the masked female general for a pincer attack, or stand idly by and let his subordinates be wounded. You have all seen the final answer."

What does this prove?

"The explanation... well, you'll find out in three days."

"It's going too far to keep us in suspense at a time like this. Deliberately revealing things to whet our appetites is worse than just saying nothing from the start," Ying Zhou said discontentedly.

"Military secret, no comment."

Si Ming chuckled and brushed it off, then added, "By the way, His Majesty the War God has promised me that he will instruct you in martial arts over the next three days. If you have any questions, feel free to ask him; don't hesitate."

This statement successfully diverted Ying Zhou's attention, and even Xia Guanxue showed an eager expression. After all, the name of the God of War God was renowned Sea Continent. In terms of actual combat ability alone, Void Returning Great Grandmaster might not be his match. Moreover, they had personally confirmed that there were no undeserving people under his great reputation.

Three days later, at the back mountain of the imperial city.

As night fell, the moon shone coolly, and the moon shone coolly on the water. Although the mountain behind was not high, it was already autumn. The night wind blowing through the mountains still carried a Yin Qi, yin-like quality that seemed to seep into one's bones. If an ordinary person were to be exposed to this wind for too long, they might fall seriously ill.

Fortunately, none of the people gathered on the mountaintop were ordinary people; they were all full of Qi and Blood and vitality, which frightened the wild beasts in the mountains so much that they dared not approach. The cold night wind could not dampen their excitement.

"Time's almost up, why haven't they arrived yet? Do you think either of them will keep their appointment?"

"It's hard to say. The Military God might be using a diversionary tactic. He's not a member of the martial arts world, but a member of the imperial court. Even if he breaks the agreement, a little bad reputation won't affect him much. Conversely, if the War God sees through this, he might choose to guard the palace and not keep the appointment. After all, the safety of the palace depends on him alone. If he leaves, the remaining experts alone won't be able to stop the assassins."

"So you're saying we came all tonight for nothing? Then what were you doing here?"

"I'm just hoping for the best. What if both sides come? Wouldn't I regret it for the rest of my life if I missed it? The duel between the Military God and the War God has been discussed for countless years. Tonight, there's finally hope for a conclusion. Even if there's only a one percent chance, I'm going to take the gamble."

"Hey, what's the point of betting on this? If it were a battle of military formations, the Military God would be a master War God, and the God of War would be invincible. It would be hard to say who would win. But tonight's contest is a duel between martial artists, which is the God of War God's forte. With his strength, he could take on three opponents by himself. I think the key to this battle lies in whether the War God of War dares to show himself. If he does, the outcome of this battle is self-evident."

"However, even if he wins this battle, he may not be the one who laughs last."

"Yes, it's a difficult choice between the bigger picture and personal reputation."

As everyone was discussing, someone suddenly shouted in a shrill voice, "They're here!"

This scream was like cold water poured into boiling oil, triggering a chain reaction.

Where is he? Where is he?

"Who's here? Which side is it?"

"Both sides are here!"

In a short while, Ba Shenhuang and Huang Yan arrived at the mountain peak. The former was all alone, while the latter brought a lot of people with him, including the masked female general.

No one found this strange; in fact, it would have been surprising if the War God had brought other companions with him.

"I didn't expect you to actually come." Huang Yan smiled slightly, revealing a confident smile. "Are you sure your choice is right? Or have you already given up on protecting that skeleton in the tomb?"

Ba Shenhuang didn't answer the question, but instead closed his eyes and said with his hands behind his back, "Escape? You still have time."

Huang Yan responded, "I hope you won't be the one who deserts halfway through the battle."

On the walls of the imperial city, a figure quietly ascended, exposed to the firelight, but the patrolling soldiers around him ignored him.

The moonlight shone on the figure, revealing a refined and handsome face. He turned his head to look in the direction of the back mountain and smiled, "Truth and falsehood, let's see who comes out on top."
