It's snowing.

Locals often say that there is no spring or autumn in Southern Border, only winter and summer, but this year is particularly unusual. Early winter snow fell softly, covering the vast Greenwood City with a layer of silver.

A group of men stopped in front of the "Jiawei" restaurant, their spirited horses exhaling white steam from their mouths and noses.

They were all warriors, and surprisingly, the morning after their hangovers left them feeling quite refreshed.

"Brother Li!" Zhong Zhenyue called out.

"Coming!"

Li Mo had just finished absorbing the last strand of True Spirit, and now the Seventy-Two Transformations were only one transformation away from completion:

Wuzhiqi.

This True Spirit is even more valiant and unruly than Yazi, and is probably the most difficult of all True Spirit to integrate with Divine Ability powers, yet it was also chosen by the Jade Phoenix God.

"I'm going to Greenwood Camp."

Li Mo changed into winter clothes and called out.

From early morning, Ying Bing, dressed in a white fox fur coat and Haori Long Dress, stood by the window, her eyes, like ice mirrors, gazing southward.

The snow outside the window was made even more serene and beautiful by her presence.

Hearing Li Mo's voice, she finally came to her senses:

"I'll go too."

"Hmm? Wouldn't it be... for a woman to go to the main camp..."

"I have informed Zhong Ling."

Li Mo figured she was probably just curious, so he went downstairs with her.

Then a problem was discovered.

Today we won't be riding in a carriage, but there's only one extra foal, and Li Mo has never ridden a horse before.

"Brother Li, are you not skilled in horsemanship?"

Does riding a person count?

"???"

Little Li misses Brother Donglai a little.

Call--

The girl beside him flipped over and sat on the saddle. Her crystal-clear, jade-like left hand gripped the reins tightly, while her other hand reached out towards Li Mo, and snowflakes could be clearly seen falling onto her slightly red palm.

"Come on up."

Little Li thinks he should find a horse riding book and study it when he has some free time.

Even spending a little on martial arts insights is fine, even if it takes a little!

Not long after.

The group rode their horses to the Greenwood Camp, where the palpable Blood Qi of blood that seemed to reach the heavens warmed the air.

It was the same drill ground as yesterday, the ground had been compacted again, but it was much more lively than yesterday, with the Ten-Man Commander from each battalion all present.

On the command platform sat a row of generals from Greenwood City, with Qu Sheng in the head seat, his teacup steaming in the air.

"I have studied all kinds of martial arts, but I have never heard of any martial arts in the world that can transform into Calamity Beast?"

Garrison Commander Wu Lang frowned and asked.

"I've never heard of that company."

"Even with both Inner Scene and External Scene Realm, this shouldn't be possible, yet this child is definitely not Sixth Realm Dharma Body." Another blue-clad guard general was also quite curious.

We'll see soon enough.

Qu Sheng watched, the group of people drew near and, guided by his personal guards, ascended the command platform.

Standing on the stage, Li Mo looked down at the long spears that stretched like a forest, their imposing presence like a dragon, and a surge of heroic spirit welled up within him. His heart was filled with a burning passion, especially strong in the winter heat.

What would it be like if war broke out?

It is said that men are heroic on the battlefield, striving to achieve great deeds.

Seeing this, Little Li was truly ignited.

Turning around, he saw the various gazes of his generals.

Qu Sheng stood up with a smile, his voice clear and melodious:

"Young Hero Li, all the Squad Leader and Ten-Man Commander of the army are here. I've made my boast, and there's no joking in the army."

His voice could be heard throughout the entire Greenwood Camp.

Li Mo had already made preparations and nodded, saying:

"Naturally, I wonder what kind of Calamity Beast the army needs experience in dealing with?"

The generals discussed the matter for a moment and then reached a consensus.

"The Qiongqi Clan."

"No problem."

"Should I still be in command?" Zhong Ling asked.

Qu Sheng tossed her the Command Flag from his waist and laughed:

"Besides me, I doubt anyone in the army is more skilled at commanding troops than you."

"The commander taught well."

Zhong Ling slightly puffed out her chest, her heroic posture unable to conceal her pride.

She selected over a hundred Squad Leader and Ten-Man Commander at the Inner Breath Realm, and soon the army formation, under her command, moved with perfect ease and spread murderous intent across the training ground.

These hundreds of people almost felt like she was commanding a vast army.

Ying Bing's clear, serene eyes reflected the military might, as if she were deep in thought.

At this time, Zhong Zhenyue, as the vanguard of the attack, integrated into the military formation. With his addition, the formation became even more imposing and unstoppable.

"Once the Young Marquis's cultivation level is higher, and he is combined with Zhong Ling's military formation, our Southern Border will gain another ten thousand men who can defeat us."

"But yesterday, this Dugu Strange Sword Young Hero Li, the Lone Swordsman, broke through the army's formation single-handedly with just his hammer."

"Um?"

"Young Hero Li's martial arts skills should be reliable, after all, he is eleventh on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, he shouldn't be exaggerating."

Staring at the scene, they sensed an ancient and fierce aura emanating from Li Mo, and the generals all sat up straight.

The next moment.

With a roar, Li Mo transformed into a tiger the size of a calf, its fur as sharp as steel needles and its wings like celestial blades.

Exclamations of surprise echoed across the drill ground.

Such a miraculous transformation—who could believe it without witnessing it firsthand?

This hardly resembles martial arts!

Qiongqi's ability to devour people is so terrifying that it feels almost tangible, causing one's heart to clench!

Qu Sheng pondered for a moment and asked:

"Gentlemen, who do you think won and who lost?"

"Even a seventh-rank pure-blooded Qiongqi couldn't withstand this onslaught, could it?"

"It's hard to say. Judging from their energy levels alone, it's difficult to say which side has the upper hand."

"Hiss... Young Marquis, you've managed to achieve a mere stalemate in terms of sheer momentum by relying on your military formation?"

The generals discussed the matter animatedly, but all felt that the situation was still unclear.

Qu Sheng was about to speak.

"Li Mo." The clear, melodious voice of the young girl pierced through the first snow and reached everyone's ears.

The platform for reviewing military commands was deserted.

Many generals looked at Ying Bing, who was brewing tea with her delicate hands in a white porcelain bowl not far away. Although they were puzzled, none of them had the idea of going up to ask her.

Why does she think that?

"I saw her feeding Young Hero Li yesterday, why do you think that was?"

"Oh--~~~"

Listening to the generals' discussions and then suddenly realizing what they meant, Qu Sheng narrowed his eyes.

He felt that this Cold Fairy hadn't just said it because she wanted Li Mo to be better.

Because he felt the same way.

Even Ying Bing the signs much earlier than he did.

Could it be...?

She is knowledgeable in military formations?

In the blink of an eye.

They clashed on the field.

Zhong Zhenyue was the first to be hit, and he felt even stronger than yesterday, with his Golden Spear and Iron Horse Body pushed to its limit.

However, this feeling only lasted for the first collision.

"Roar--"

Qiongqi Xiao Li let out a tiger's roar.

It's the power of Qiongqi's bloodline!

He suddenly felt his body become several degrees heavier, and all sorts of irritating thoughts surged into his mind, as if someone was pulling him, making him unable to exert any strength.

He is not an isolated case.

The entire army formation was affected by the tiger's roar.

"This is only because my cultivation level is too low. If it were Sixth Grade or even fifth-grade Qiongqi, it might have caused you all to kill each other."

"When fighting the Qiongqi Clan, remember to keep your mind focused!"

Li Mo reminded him as he rushed forward.

This was only the first bloodline power he had used.

By now, anyone with a brain could see that the outcome of this battle was obvious.

Even during the battle, Li Mo still had the energy to offer reminders.

They're completely playing the role of instructors.

"We can't win."

Zhong Zhenyue collapsed to the ground, exhausted, and the battle formation was officially broken.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully invested in the Greenwood City garrison.]

You have an investment pending payment.

Qiongqi Xiao Li transformed back to normal. He didn't claim the reward for the time being, and smiled as he looked at Zhong Zhenyue:

"Young Marquis, there's no need to belittle yourself. The true Qiongqi's physique is not as strong as mine. Even with its powerful bloodline, it should have been trapped and killed by the army formation just now."

"..."

The soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment.

Who taught you to comfort people like that?

What do you mean by saying the physique of Calamity Beast is weaker than yours?

Zhong Zhenyue took a deep breath and said with a piercing gaze:

"Brother Li, didn't we discuss yesterday how many army formations you could accommodate?"

"How about... we try it now?"

We need your support to heal our wounded hearts.

I need help urgently.
