Surged Four Levels, Four Consecutive Summons, the Most Strategic Among Generals, the Strongest Martial Artist Among Advisors

This must have been the physical enhancement the Emperor Heavenly Dragon Wings had brought Aiven, allowing his first Spirit Ring to withstand six hundred years.

After several hours of searching.

Aiven finally found a light-attribute spirit beast. It was a spirit beast with extremely destructive power, and its cultivation was exactly six hundred years!

"That's the one. Qian Renxue, get it!"

Aiven commanded.

Qian Renxue looked displeased. "Hey! Didn't you bring people with you?"

"Aren't you one of my people now? Hurry up, my beautiful guard." Aiven laughed.

"Hmph~ Fine, I'll do it!"

Qian Renxue puffed up her cheeks in anger, looking rather adorable. After releasing her Six-Winged Angel Spirit Soul, her demeanor immediately changed, and she charged forward.

"First Soul Skill, Angel Assault!"

Bang!

"Second Soul Skill, Angel Wings!!"

Screech! Screech! Screech!

Qian Renxue spun at high speed, her blade-like angel wings wildly slicing through the spirit beast.

In just a few moves, Qian Renxue knocked down the six-hundred-year spirit beast.

"Done." Qian Renxue dusted off her hands and withdrew her power.

Though she was only a level 43 Soul Ancestor, her actual strength far surpassed that realm. Naturally, this was effortless for her.

"Thanks for your hard work, my beautiful guard."

"Hmph!" Qian Renxue crossed her arms and ignored Aiven.

Aiven did not mind. He killed the spirit beast with a single slash, then sat cross-legged and began absorbing its Spirit Ring.

Watching Aiven begin to absorb the Spirit Ring, Qian Renxue sneered inwardly. "Aiven, this is a six-hundred-year spirit beast. You actually dared to hunt and absorb it without even asking me about its age. This time, you're definitely going to die~"

"You foolish boy! And you wanted to marry me? You wanted to turn your duchy into an empire and become an Emperor? You'll die before you even begin!"

Seeing that Aiven was about to die, Qian Renxue was happy. Yet for some reason, deep down, there was also the faintest trace of reluctance?

However, that feeling was quickly completely buried beneath her joy.

"He should be exploding to death by now, right?"

Qian Renxue began counting down to Aiven's death.

But things did not develop as she had expected, and what happened far exceeded her imagination.

During the absorption process, Aiven's initially turbulent Soul Power gradually stabilized.

Then he passed the dangerous stage and entered the safe fusion stage.

"What!!!!!"

"H-How is this possible!!"

"He actually succeeded!!!"

"Oh heavens! How did he do it?" Qian Renxue clutched her head in shock, crying out inwardly again and again. Impossible! This is impossible!

How could she have known that Aiven possessed a ten-thousand-year External Soul Bone?

At that moment, Aiven's Soul Power began to surge.

Level 11!

Level 12!

Level 13!

Level 14!

His Soul Power soared from level 10 Innate Full Soul Power to level 14 in one go, rising four levels consecutively!

He gained his First Soul Skill, Emperor Slash—a powerful attack-type soul skill that could be used at range or in close combat.

"Not bad, four levels at once. Once I get back, I'll do four consecutive summons." Aiven was in high spirits. He glanced at the stunned Qian Renxue, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Did you think I would explode and die?"

Qian Renxue said nothing, but her expression was clearly rather unpleasant.

"Sorry to disappoint you~" Aiven deliberately showed off in front of Qian Renxue before turning away and laughing loudly. "Hahahahaha!"

"Let's go. We're heading back to the city."

"Damn it~!!!"

"This brat is so infuriating!"

Qian Renxue stamped her foot angrily and followed behind Aiven.

After returning to Ai City.

Aiven did not hesitate and immediately began four consecutive summons, using all four newly acquired chances.

Four cards appeared before him once more.

His luck was good this time.

Among the first three, two were Second-Class Generals, one with combat power at level 85 and the other at level 88.

There was also one Third-Class General, whose combat power was rather lacking at level 76.

"The last one. The back bears the character Shu, so it's another general from Shu. Who could it be?" Aiven anticipated eagerly.

When he thought of Shu, the first people who came to mind were the Five Tiger Generals: Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong.

But those five were most likely all Super-Class as well.

"Here it comes."

As the final card flipped over.

Aiven became excited!

A First-Class General!

Another First-Class General had appeared!

First-Class General: a famed general of late Shu, one of the Three Heroes of the Late Three Kingdoms, Jiang Wei, corresponding to a level 92 Titled Douluo.

"Damn, a First-Class General was already great enough, but it's actually Jiang Wei! Wonderful! My luck today is incredible!" Aiven was overjoyed.

Jiang Wei, also known as Young Unicorn, the Qilin Child.

He was said to possess the greatest strategic mind among generals and the greatest martial prowess among advisors!

He was a figure skilled in both literary and martial arts, resourceful and highly intelligent!

Not only was his combat strength high and his military ability formidable, but although his political ability could not compare to those top-tier strategists, military minds, and politicians such as Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, and Jia Xu—

Jiang Wei's political ability was also outstanding!

He was an all-around talent!

For the newly established Aiven Duchy, he was precisely the sort of person they needed most and lacked most desperately!

With Jiang Wei's assistance, whether in leading troops into battle, military administration, or political administration, everything would become far easier. The development of his duchy's forces would surely accelerate even more!

When they marched west to attack the Kingdom of Aers in the future, with Lu Bu as their strongest combat force and Jiang Wei as their most brilliant strategist, they would certainly be able to swiftly devour the Kingdom of Aers's territory!

"This subordinate, Jiang Wei, courtesy name Boyue, greets Lord!"

After being summoned, the utterly loyal Jiang Wei immediately dropped to one knee.

"If one gains Jiang Boyue, one gains a phoenix. Jiang Wei, please rise quickly!" Aiven hurried forward and personally helped Jiang Wei up.

He also immediately granted Jiang Wei the highest administrative rank and appointed him as the Military Advisor of the Aiven Duchy.

Having been entrusted with such an important duty, Jiang Wei immediately began his work.

He started offering advice for the Aiven Duchy's military and political affairs.

Jiang Wei conscientiously began busying himself with all manner of tasks, and he had already started planning for Aiven how to attack the Kingdom of Aers and annex its land.

With Jiang Wei around, Aiven no longer needed to worry about any of those matters.

From this round of four consecutive summons, he had gained one First-Class General, two Second-Class Generals, and one Third-Class General, bringing a total of 7,500 troops.

Added together, Aiven's current total force stood at an even 30,000 soldiers.

From here on, Aiven only needed to cultivate diligently and strengthen himself.

Now that he was a Soul Master, he had to begin his cultivation journey.

To become a powerful Soul Master, however, meditation to increase Soul Power was not enough.

He also had to study Soul Master theory and combat courses.

Next, he had Qian Renxue serve as his instructor for Soul Master theoretical knowledge.

He had Lu Bu serve as his combat instructor.

He divided each day into three parts: learning Soul Master theory and culture in the morning, practicing combat techniques in the afternoon, and meditating to cultivate Soul Power at night.

Time passed quickly.

One week later.

Night.

One in the morning.

The three worship elder of Spirit Hall had finally arrived.

They had already secretly infiltrated Ai City and were rapidly approaching the Duchy Mansion.

No matter how heavily guarded Ai City was, it could not stop three level 96 Titled Douluo from infiltrating it.

At that moment, Guangling, Qian Jun, and Jiang Mo stood atop the roof of a tall building directly opposite the Duke's Mansion, watching the residence ahead.

They wore black clothes and veils, deliberately concealing their identities.
