All Attributes Break a Thousand! New Attribute: Internal Breath

"Where are the Thousand-Household Commanders?"

Zhu Ying shouted.

"Your subordinates are here."

The three Thousand-Household Commanders and one acting Thousand-Household Commander immediately rode over, clasped their fists in salute, and looked at Zhu Ying with fervent admiration.

"The usual rules."

"Treat the wounded first and tally the casualties."

"Gather up all the Tatar warhorses. We'll take every last one of them with us afterward."

"The Fifth Thousand-Household Battalion will stand guard on the mountain. This place is close to one of the Tatar tribes. Even without cavalry, they can get here quickly."

"Clean up the battlefield. Finish off these Tatars. Leave no survivors," Zhu Ying ordered at once.

"Your subordinates accept the order."

The four answered loudly and immediately went to carry out their tasks.

Zhu Ying swept his gaze around at the field carpeted with corpses, then shouted, "Brothers."

"After today, our situation in this Northern Frontier will be much better."

"We have wiped out the Tatar cavalry. From now on, Great Ming cavalry will be able to come and go freely through Tatar territory in this Northern Frontier."

As his words fell—

Every soldier was extraordinarily excited.

They all looked at Zhu Ying with boundless fervor.

"Garrison Commander's might is divine!"

"Garrison Commander's might is divine!"

"This subordinate is willing to follow the Garrison Commander unto death!"

"Follow unto death..."

Thousands of soldiers cried out in unison, wild with excitement and fervor.

Just as Zhu Ying had said!

After today—

Within this Tatar territory, throughout the Northern Frontier—

The several thousand cavalry under Zhu Ying's command would be able to ride unhindered in every direction. Compared to before, the danger had been reduced by far too much.

On these plains, it was simply impossible for infantry to catch cavalry.

Zhu Ying could lead his cavalry in guerrilla strikes and harassment.

Deprived of their cavalry, the Tatars could only watch helplessly, utterly powerless to do anything.

It could be said that the arrangements of the past several days had finally borne fruit.

"Garrison Commander."

"Our army has annihilated the Tatar cavalry this time and won a great victory. Should we send word to the Commander by carrier pigeon?" Liu Lei asked at the appropriate moment.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Ying said, "Report it after the casualties have been counted."

"Your subordinate accepts the order." Liu Lei immediately acknowledged.

For Liu Lei—

He was even more glad of his earlier decision to give up becoming a Hundred-Household Commander and instead become the personal guard General Officer under Zhu Ying. Though his official rank seemed to have fallen, his actual standing had risen.

Zhu Ying had previously been a Thousand-Household Commander, but was now Acting Garrison Commander.

Yet after this war, everyone knew that once Zhu Ying returned, he would at the very least be appointed Garrison Commander. This was truly a great merit. A Garrison Commander could form a hundred-man personal guard, and without even realizing it, Liu Lei would once again be able to hold the status of a Hundred-Household Commander.

Moreover—

Zhu Ying's future was boundless.

He was incomparably fierce on the battlefield and skilled at commanding troops.

By staying at Zhu Ying's side, Liu Lei would clearly attain accomplishments that had once been beyond his wildest reach.

Of course—

In the future, Liu Lei would be even more grateful for his decision to follow Zhu Ying.

"All my attributes have broken a thousand."

Coming back to his senses—

A trace of joy appeared on Zhu Ying's face.

Congratulations, Host. All attributes have surpassed 1,000 points. Reward: one Tier 1 treasure chest.

During the earlier fighting, all of Zhu Ying's attributes had already exceeded nine hundred points. This round of killing enemies had naturally brought everything to fruition.

"Attribute Panel." Zhu Ying immediately summoned his Attribute Panel.

What came into view.

Host: Zhu Ying

Age: 14

Internal Breath: 0. A martial artist's Internal Breath—the higher the value, the stronger the Internal Breath.

Strength: 1445 points. One point corresponds to one jin of force.

Speed: 1323 points. Speed thirteen times that of an ordinary person.

Constitution: 1062 points. Constitution ten times that of an ordinary person. The stronger the constitution, the stronger the defense and the faster the recovery from injuries.

Endurance: 1032 points. Endurance ten times that of an ordinary person. The higher the endurance, the more inexhaustible one's energy and the more abundant one's stamina.

Spirit: 1023 points. The higher the spirit, the clearer the mind.

Lifespan: 88 years 5956 days

Storage Space: 19 cubic meters

Cultivation Method: Iron Body Cultivation Method

There's an additional Internal Breath.

A martial artist's Internal Breath.

It seems the gradual increase in all my attributes really is a step-by-step transformation.

My attributes have broken a thousand.

A Tier 1 treasure chest.

Zhu Ying smiled as he looked at his Attribute Panel.

Having lived two lives, how could Zhu Ying not know about Internal Breath? After all, he had read quite a few novels in his previous life.

After Internal Breath should come True Qi, right?

Perhaps that was what a true martial artist was?

Of course.

Zhu Ying could not think that far ahead right now. He would take things one step at a time.

So many corpses. Time to collect attributes.

Coming back to his senses.

Zhu Ying did not rush to open the Tier 1 treasure chest.

Collecting attributes was the proper path for now.

Even a mosquito was still meat.

Zhu Ying swung himself down from his horse.

He walked toward the corpses strewn across the ground before him.

He crouched down and touched one.

"Picked up 1 point of Strength," the panel prompted.

With his saber in hand, Zhu Ying continued touching the corpses.

"We'll follow the garrison troops and clean up too. Don't let any of these damned Tatars slip through the net!" Liu Lei immediately shouted.

"Yes!"

The personal guards also dismounted one after another, using their sabers to prod at the Tatar corpses on the ground.

"Picked up 1 point of Speed."

"Picked up 5 days of Lifespan."

"Picked up 1 point of Constitution."

"Picked up 1 point of Endurance..."

After touching more than a dozen corpses in succession, he had only collected one point of attributes from each.

This left Zhu Ying somewhat baffled.

The most I used to get from looting corpses was 5 attribute points, but this time they've all become one point.

Could it be because all my attributes have transformed past 1000?

No wonder the attributes I picked up from killing enemies no longer reached 20 points. They've all become 10 points.

So it's because of the increase in all my attributes too.

Only then did Zhu Ying come to a realization.

It was probably like leveling up—killing weak monsters no longer gave experience.

Of course.

For Zhu Ying, as long as there were attribute points to pick up, that was enough.

He would grow stronger step by step.

Zhu Ying was not that greedy.

With corpses strewn all over the ground, Zhu Ying hurriedly touched them, picking up attributes.

"Picked up 1 point of Strength."

"Picked up 1 point of Speed."

"Picked up 1 point of Internal Breath."

"Picked up 1 point of Internal Breath."

"Picked up 1 point of Internal Breath..."

Just then!

Zhu Ying saw a brand-new attribute for the first time: Internal Breath.

As several points of Internal Breath were added to his body, Zhu Ying could clearly feel a warm current arise in his lower abdomen, where his dantian was located. It circulated through his dantian before flowing into his meridians.

"It really is Internal Breath."

"I can even mobilize it."

"A martial artist's Internal Breath."

"Could this be a step toward becoming a martial artist?" A trace of joy appeared on Zhu Ying's face.

Though the few points of Internal Breath he had picked up were weak, Zhu Ying could feel them clearly.

Zhu Ying did not dwell on it and continued picking up attributes at a faster pace.

"Picked up 1 point of Internal Breath."

"Picked up 1 point of Strength."

"Picked up 5 days of Lifespan."

"Picked up 1 point of Internal Breath."

"Picked up..."

Naturally, Zhu Ying would not let such an opportunity slip by.

Of course.

As he picked them up, Zhu Ying also stored the arrows beside these Tatars in his storage space.

With all his attributes having broken through a thousand points, his storage space had expanded by another ten cubic meters. Naturally, Zhu Ying had to fill it up a little.
