Who is this subordinate general?

Spear techniques are inherently difficult to master.

This is an undeniable fact.

To reach the Great Accomplishment realm, one needs not only talent but also perseverance over a long period to even have a chance of achieving it.

Li Xiongshan understood this very well. After all, they frequently engaged in battles. While it was manageable in the real world, once on the Void Battlefield, with the interference of its rules and close-quarters combat, spear techniques proved far superior to swords or sabers on the battlefield.

If a perfected saber technique could defeat a hundred opponents, a perfected spear technique could defeat three hundred!

Liu Shan's saber technique had long been perfected, and he possessed extensive battlefield experience. However, even at the same cultivation level, he was completely dominated and beaten by Su Bei throughout their spar. This was enough to illustrate the point!

Yet, even so, those in the army with perfected spear techniques were still exceedingly rare, treated like precious gems in every department.

For most people, a Proficient level was sufficient for use on the battlefield.

Therefore, when he saw Su Bei's Great Accomplishment level in spear techniques, he was already very satisfied!

An army is easily amassed, but a formidable general is hard to find!

He wasn't even twenty yet, his physical limit was nearly 3000KG, and now his spear technique was perfected. If he cultivated for a few more years and improved his strength, Li Xiongshan couldn't even imagine what he would become.

Old Li truly had never fought such a well-resourced battle!

But he hadn't expected Su Bei to have a hidden trump card?

Could his fist technique also be at the Great Accomplishment realm?

"In that case, let's not trouble a second person." Li Xiongshan looked at Liu Shan. "What's your cultivation level in fist techniques?"

Liu Shan replied, "I've been diligent these past few years. Minor Accomplishment realm."

He wasn't lying.

Fist techniques were more of a method for him when fighting unarmed; he hadn't focused on them much. Most of his foundation came from his time as a Quasi-Martial Artist. He could say he practiced, but he hadn't practiced seriously.

However, martial arts realms themselves depended on talent. Minor Accomplishment in fist techniques was actually more than enough; you might not find one person out of a hundred who had it.

"That's acceptable then."

Li Xiongshan nodded. His expectations for Su Bei were already quite high, but the Great Accomplishment in spear techniques had likely consumed most of his time. At best, his fist technique might reach Great Accomplishment, likely just a little above Minor Accomplishment.

Even if he lost then, it wouldn't be too embarrassing.

As for Perfection, Li Xiongshan hadn't even considered it. Above Perfection was the Intent realm, the kind that produced Grandmaster seedlings, capable of founding their own sects!

The two bowed to each other again.

"Brother Liu, please excuse me."

Su Bei sighed inwardly. If his fist technique was at Great Accomplishment, he could still put on a show, but Minor Accomplishment…

That was Zhang Feiyu's level, wasn't it?

"I should be the one apologizing," Liu Shan said. He admitted Su Bei had skill with the spear, but fist techniques were different. It was about direct impact. Even with equal strength, after three transformations through the Secret Treasury Gate, his overall physical quality far surpassed Su Bei's!

He could understand the young man's eagerness to prove himself, but he was too hasty.

This time, the advantage is mine!

The air fell silent.

The next moment.

Su Bei and Liu Shan moved simultaneously. The distance of tens of meters was covered in the blink of an eye.

Bang!

And then, in the next second, Liu Shan's body was sent flying back like a cannonball.

Mid-air, a look of confusion appeared on his face, his mind filled with questions: What the heck, how did I get sent flying?

I haven't even thrown a punch yet?

"I was careless, let's go again!"

He lightly touched the ground, using the recoil to propel himself forward at an even faster speed towards Su Bei like a phantom!

His fists were heavy as mountains, as if he could smash through any mountain range before him!

But the gap between Minor Accomplishment and Perfection was like a chasm. His unstoppable punch appeared full of openings in Su Bei's eyes, like a child's punch.

He casually shifted his hand, without any fanfare. Liu Shan's unstoppable punch was deflected horizontally from its opening. His right fist suddenly shot out, Qi Force surging like a violent volcanic eruption!

Bang!

Under this immense force, Liu Shan's body was sent flying back again.

He landed steadily, his body unharmed, just a slight sting, but his heart was shattered.

The entire scene fell silent.

When an expert makes a move, you know their skill.

The onlookers' eyesight was undoubtedly sharp. The spear techniques had still involved some back-and-forth, but this fist technique was clearly a pure annihilation!

"Little Zhang, you go up too."

Fu Hongtao of the Martial Artist Association's expression was solemn, a hint of disbelief hidden deep in his eyes. "Remember, don't injure Su Bei."

"Yes!"

A Martial Artist behind him didn't say much upon hearing this. His own perfected Fist Technique realm had already made him eager for a challenge. He stomped his foot, his body like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, lunging towards Su Bei. His fists, like giant pythons swinging their tails, tore through the air!

"Good!"

Su Bei let out a fierce roar, his aura growing with the wind, his presence immense. His muscles and bones rang like a symphony, his entire body seeming to grow several inches taller, radiating power and majesty!

His fists, like the radiant sun, seemed naturally formed and harmonious as he met the attacker's strike!

Bang bang bang!

Within a few breaths, the two had exchanged dozens of blows. Fist shadows were everywhere, each punch landing with solid impact. A strong wind surged, and the airwaves generated by their Qi Force kicked up dust from the ground!

Liu Shan stomped his foot, also entering the fray. His six fists collided within the dust and smoke, Qi Force clashing and dissipating, waves of energy splashing outwards!

In just over ten breaths, the three had exchanged nearly a hundred blows!

Su Bei's momentum continued to surge. The saying "two fists can't fend off four hands" didn't apply to him; instead, after figuring out his opponents' fighting styles, he became increasingly at ease. Although his two opponents were experienced, their experience meant nothing in the face of the data!

Bang!

Bang!

With two explosive sounds, the airflow in the dust cleared, and the bodies of the two opponents were sent flying back like cannonballs.

Their faces still held expressions of disbelief.

In just over ten breaths, both had been decisively defeated. Throughout the entire exchange, they hadn't even managed to cause Su Bei significant trouble!

After landing, Liu Shan glanced at his buddy beside him and, for some reason, felt much better.

At least he wasn't the only one who got pulverized anymore. It felt good.

The expressions of the onlookers shifted from confusion to understanding, and finally to numbness.

At this point, they were utterly speechless.

"That's enough," Li Xiongshan said.

He then turned his gaze to Su Bei, "Xiao Bei, what's your Fist Technique realm?"

Hearing Li Xiongshan's question, everyone's eyes converged on Su Bei. There was a saying that gazes could generate energy, and Su Bei felt that sensation now.

"Commander, regarding my Fist Technique, I was fortunate enough to break through to the Great Accomplishment realm a few days ago."

"Now, I am at the Perfection realm."

Upon hearing this, even those who had already suspected something couldn't help but gasp, their hearts trembling!

Perfection realm!

That was practically a seed for a Grandmaster!

It was said that in the later stages of cultivation, some Secret Treasury Gates required specific martial arts realm requirements for entry!

Therefore, the Perfection realm of martial arts was also known as the seed of a Grandmaster, with the potential to step into the pinnacle of martial arts. Regardless of where they were, individuals at this level were cultivated as top-tier geniuses!

"Good, good, good! Hahahaha! Excellent!"

Li Xiongshan laughed heartily, "Xiao Bei, why are you calling me Commander? Just call me Uncle Xiong!"

He was incredibly elated!

"Yes, Uncle Xiong!" Su Bei quickly followed suit, seizing the opportunity.

"Good! And who was it... never mind, I'll personally take you to enlist!"

Li Xiongshan grabbed Su Bei and walked away as if afraid someone would snatch him, "I see your longbow can still be repaired. I'll take you to get it fixed. The craftsmen in our department are quite skilled!"

"If you have any other difficulties, tell Uncle Xiong!"

"Uncle Xiong will definitely solve them for you!"

Seeing everyone's reaction, Su Bei finally understood why Chen Wansheng had repeatedly told him to showcase his Fist Technique and martial arts realm back then.

Was the martial arts Perfection realm really this valuable?

"If I have any difficulties, I will definitely tell you!"

This...

Everyone couldn't help but look at Li Xiongshan, mentally cursing him, while a mix of envy and jealousy filled their hearts.

A physical limit of 3000KG, Great Accomplishment in Spear Technique, Perfection in Fist Technique, and especially being so young... such talent was being snatched away by that old scoundrel!

Especially Wang Ming and Fu Hongtao, why couldn't they have held on a little longer just now?!

Wang Ming stepped forward and grabbed Li Xiongshan, pulling him aside:

"Old Li, I'm begging you, I'll kneel for you. Let us from the Martial Department have this person."

"If that doesn't work, can you just discharge him? Please?"

"You're living too well, and it's making me miserable!"

"Get lost!"

Li Xiongshan laughed and cursed, "Are we going back on our word now?!"
