Twin Towers

The outline became clearer, and the insights from Heart Demon flowed into the heart, containing more refined information. Because it was about guiding others' thoughts into this Military World, it also contained everyone's reflections on the way of war.

The information gathered before was the trace left by everyone when they led the troops, which was outwardly revealed. Now, what is being transmitted through the Heart Demon is what they were thinking when they were leading the troops, which was kept in their hearts.

The combination of this external and internal approach instantly elevated Qiu Yan's understanding of military strategy to a whole new level.

Although most of the people projected into this Military World were scholars with little understanding of Military School, apart from a few who were defeated early on, most of them had struggled in this world for some time. Their views on Military School evolved from nothing to something, from abstract to concrete. Each person had a different perspective, and the principles they came to understand were also different.

These ideas, coupled with the results of leading troops, perfectly validated these ideas.

Even those who suffered defeat, their failures, their pre-defeat planning, and their subsequent actions and reactions offer valuable lessons and serve as cautionary tales.

"In actual combat on the Sand Battlefield, besides prior preparation and planning, there is another decisive factor: on-the-spot decision-making and command. Often, the two sides are like chess players, competing not so much in skill but in minimizing mistakes. These thoughts of defeat and the resulting scenes of defeat are undoubtedly important references!"

In addition, there are Heart Demon originating from the hearts of Pang Qianru, Ye Yun, Wen Zhizhen, and others.

These three people each have their own Heart Demon, and each offers valuable lessons.

Pang Qianru was born into a noble Aristocratic Clan. Her father, Marquis Pang Yi of Anyang Marquis, was a regional lord who guarded the frontier. He was a Military School general. Although Pang Qianru was a woman, she loved swordsmanship from a young age. She had many friends who were Military School strategists and was well-versed in military books. She was already very familiar with the various aspects of Military School. All she lacked was Sand Battlefield experience.

She quickly made up for this after arriving in this Military World, becoming accustomed to leading troops and becoming increasingly skilled. Every move she made afterward conformed to the principles of Military School strategy, and the thoughts and Military Momentum she left behind were undoubtedly the most orthodox, helping Qiu Yan to understand the true meaning of a dignified soldier.

In contrast, Ye Yun's situation is quite different.

Ye Yun himself was incredibly Fortune. Even when he entered the Military World, he was still just average. When leading troops into battle, he always encountered the most favorable situation for himself and could win without much planning.

However, this does not mean that his thoughts and Military Momentum are meaningless; on the contrary, through his personal experiences, Qiu Yan can further understand the importance of external forces on the battlefield, know what situation is most advantageous, seize fleeting opportunities, and understand how to utilize external conditions to create a favorable situation on the battlefield, ultimately achieving victory with fewer troops and stronger forces.

As for Wen Zhizhen, unlike the previous two, although he tried to adapt to the battlefield after arriving, while he was a top student, he lacked the talent for leading troops. Specialization is key, and some things cannot be mastered simply by putting in effort. Moreover, although Wen Zhizhen was willing to adapt, he couldn't let go of his pride and looked down on Military School tactics. In the end, he resorted to his eloquence to rally support and leverage his influence.

Therefore, what Qiu Yan gained from his memories, thoughts, and actions was how to motivate and inspire others, and how to leverage external forces.

Don't think this move is flashy but impractical. In reality, no matter how mysterious Military School struggles may be, they are ultimately a battle between people. Most of the time, it's about who has the last breath. So, inspiring Human Thoughts' thoughts, gathering the morale of the masses, and combining scattered forces into one is also an extraordinary skill.

By doing so, Wen Zhizhen managed to unite several weak groups into a force. If they had fought separately, they would have been eliminated long ago and wouldn't have lasted this long.

Thus, battle records, defeats, Military School, luck, and human factors, along with the flow of inner Heart Demon, and the mixture of information from all over the Military World, soon made the two Original Edition suspended in mid-air clearer and clearer, not only taking shape but also building the most basic framework.

One of the books faintly revealed mountains and rivers, composed of information derived from the environments of various parts of this Military World;

The other book depicts figures, as if generals are leading their troops in battles across various locations, experiencing victories and defeats...

However, although the battles and killings in the Military World lasted for half a year and involved a large number of people, the experience and knowledge gained were ultimately limited. After being absorbed by Qiu Yan, the experience lasted for a few breaths before finally waning and disappearing.

At this point, almost all the traces, memories, thoughts, and information left by the projected person in this world were captured. Even the city that Qiu Yan himself had visualized was transformed into a torrent of information and poured into the two books.

After doing all this, Qiu Yan waved his hand, and the two Original Edition drafts fell down, turning into two streams of pure energy, which he inhaled and nurtured within his consciousness.

This time, by borrowing from the Military World, the remaining two-thirds of the "Essentials of the Military Classics" have been condensed, saving a lot of effort. However, such things cannot be accomplished overnight. Being able to have a prototype and build a framework is already a considerable achievement.

Many ancient sages only produced one or two classic works in their lifetime. Qiu Yan's compilation of the "Essentials of the Military Classics" was originally a large collection of books, equivalent to four or five classic works. Without special fortuitous opportunity, it would be difficult to compile it in a short period of time.

After all, each Original Edition manuscript requires using up all the previous knowledge, and the remaining parts must be started from scratch. In many places, alternative approaches must be taken to avoid repetition.

"Let's nurture these two initial stages for now; as for what comes next..."

Buzz...

As Qiu Yan was thinking, a whooshing sound suddenly came from the sky, and two seven-level pagodas flew through the air at great speed. At first glance, they were still on the horizon, but in the blink of an eye, they were above his head, and then they fell straight down!

Boom!

The fall stirred up a cloud of dust that blotted out the sky!

Rumble!

The valley trembled, and another wave of rocks tumbled down. Many soldiers who remained in the valley panicked at the sight, but Qiu Yan then sent out a thought that shook the surroundings and suppressed their fear.

Then, he stomped his foot, and the essential principles of the "Essentials of the Military Classics" flowed through his chest, slamming into the ground with both feet and instantly spreading outwards!

The ground and valley are not physical objects, but rather a visual landscape formed by profound means. At its core, they are mostly Military Spirit. When impacted by the profound principles of this Martial Canon manual, their internal structure immediately changed and reorganized.

The next moment, the rolling rubble dissipated, and the shaking canyon calmed down. The soldiers in the valley all breathed a sigh of relief. Most of them were puzzled, but Qiu Yi and others guessed the reason and all looked at Qiu Yan with admiration.

Qiu Yan didn't say much about this, but instead focused his attention on the two towers. He naturally recognized that the style of the towers was familiar; they were the towers where the Fourth Realm cultivators were sealed when he first entered this realm.

Qiu Yan recalled a deafening voice that said the people in the towers were the spoils of the victor, and the cultivators inside were his servants. Now that he had defeated the projected person, he was the victor, and the cultivators in these two towers were his spoils.

However, Qiu Yan's soul has now entered the Fourth Realm, and his Yin Spirit is glowing. His vision has also improved, and he has realized that the cultivator sealed inside is actually Yin Spirit cultivator, and a top figure in the Fourth Realm, at the peak.

Such a person is by no means easy to deal with. He might be able to suppress him, like the Rouluo State Preceptor or the Ultimate Martial Venerable, but to take him as a servant would be extremely difficult.

Indeed, Qiu Yan could clearly sense that within those two towers, two suns seemed to be hidden, constantly pulsating and striving to emerge from within.

At the same time, the two towers also released their consciousness, which merged with Qiu Yan's. He vaguely felt that if he controlled the tower, he could control the lives and Fortune of the two cultivators inside.

Such a deceptive act is nothing short of laughable!

Unexpectedly, Qiu Yan chuckled lightly, flicked his sleeve, and severed his connection with the two towers!

"Good decision! It's not too late to leave now and retain your insights!"

Just then, another voice came from the sky.

Qiu Yan remained unmoved.

"Good! It seems you've made your decision! Since you've resisted temptation and can maintain your true self amidst the Cosmic Primordial Wilds, I, Lin, will entrust this fortuitous opportunity to you! Take it!"

Swish!

As soon as he finished speaking, a crimson radiance descended from the sky and entered Qiu Yan's consciousness. A burning sensation rose up, and Qiu Yan found that his consciousness was boiling and had the tendency to evaporate and dissipate!

The numerous Heart Demon within that consciousness, along with the fragments originating from those Heart Demon Body, were instantly baked into nothingness!

"If you can overcome this fortuitous opportunity, you will naturally gain this opportunity to see the vastness of the world and have a chance to compete for that supreme treasure. If you cannot, I, Lin, will not force you. However, you should return to where you came from. Everything you gained in this Military Conquest, whether it be your insights, experiences, or those two future servants, is not for you!"

Shock, shock, shock!

In the depths of the Chen Residence in Xingjing Imperial City, in the room of the Household Ancestor Chen, a box began to vibrate rapidly. With a thud, it fell directly off the table, revealing a crack in the lid. Military School aura, imbued with powerful Qi and Blood, roared out!

The Household Ancestor Chen was reclining, suddenly awoke with a start and discovered that the several Outer Demon he had raised were struggling to dissipate. He immediately made a hand seal to recall them, and then turned his gaze to the box, his face showing surprise.

"Someone has already obtained this fortuitous opportunity so quickly? This doesn't match my expectations. Could it be..." He suddenly remembered someone, "... it's Qiu Yan again?"

P. S.: Thanks to "Evil Wind Sky" for the monthly vote!
