The vast parade ground was silent as a grave.
The officers and soldiers of the three armies looked at Chai Qingtang and Shi Yuanhao, then at Li Qingxian, then at the colossal thunder sword slowly dissipating.
Some wanted to say something, but when they opened their mouths, they stopped again.
No one had expected that two seasoned Third Rank experts would have no power to fight back before Li Qingxian.
Some Middle Rank and Upper Rank officers exchanged glances.
Chai Qingtang and Shi Yuanhao had already gone all out, yet Li Qingxian had strolled through it as though taking a leisurely walk through a courtyard.
So this Marquis of Far-Reaching was already a Third Rank Grand Cultivator.
Lü Jing looked toward Zhou Hen, whose face remained perfectly calm.
"Gentlemen, what do you think?" Li Qingxian's voice carried across the entire field.
"My strength falls far short of yours, Marquis," Shi Yuanhao said.
Chai Qingtang followed, saying, "Marquis Li's thunder scours all away, and Heaven's might is vast beyond measure. This old man is far inferior."
Li Qingxian nodded lightly, leaped in a single step, and returned to the reviewing platform, looking over all the soldiers.
Li Qingxian raised a book of cultivation arts, his voice spreading across the field.
"This cultivation art is called the War God Complete Art. It is an inheritance from the Upper Realm, a true method of the Celestial Court, capable of pointing directly to Above Beyond-Rank. In Far-Reaching City, the Marshal Army, and the River Guard Army, people have gradually begun cultivating it, with no fewer than a hundred thousand practitioners in total. Compared with other cultivation arts Above Beyond-Rank, this one is better suited to most people and has the following advantages. First: every cultivator, regardless of age or talent, will enter the ranks.
