Overlord Spear Technique

"Right, do you have any other requests? I'll prepare everything for you," Yang Ye said again.

"Reporting, General, I still need soldiers who can speak the Xiongnu language, and people familiar with the grasslands," Sheng Huai'an replied.

A few days prior, they had been few in number and unfamiliar with the grasslands, so they hadn't dared to venture too deep.

From Sheng Huai'an's understanding, this world was incredibly vast, and the grasslands were extremely wide. The Xiongnu weren't the only unified nomadic tribe on these plains.

The Xiongnu were merely one of the overlords of this grassland.

"Alright, I'll arrange it for you!" Yang Ye nodded.

"Anything else?"

"Hmm, please prepare a bit more healing medicine," Sheng Huai'an said.

Operating behind enemy lines, it was difficult to replenish their casualties, making healing medicine crucial.

"No! Ask for something else!" Yang Ye's expression soured slightly.

It had been a long time since their Anning Army had received any medicine from the imperial court.

The thought alone ignited his anger.

"Uh, alright then, if there's none, there's none," Sheng Huai'an scratched his head.

Without medicine, they could always just rob the Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu's supply convoys would definitely carry medicine.

"Count my contingent of soldiers in as well," Sheng Huai'an added after some thought.

He was already accustomed to using his own subordinates.

"Fine, that's no problem!"

"Anything else?" Yang Ye looked at Sheng Huai'an.

"No more!" Sheng Huai'an shook his head.

"You're currently at Martial Practitioner Great Perfection. I'll give you a Fourth-grade Breakthrough Pill to help you advance to the Martial Master realm. Your current cultivation is a bit low," Yang Ye then bestowed a Fourth-grade Breakthrough Pill upon Sheng Huai'an.

As Sheng Huai'an became more familiar with this world, he learned that pills were divided into nine grades, with first grade being the lowest and ninth grade the highest.

A Fourth-grade Breakthrough Pill was already enough to allow someone at Martial Master Great Perfection to break through to the Houtian realm.

"Thank you, General!" Sheng Huai'an said with a hint of joy, accepting the jade bottle from Yang Ye's hand.

With this pill, he could save some Slaughter Value.

"This is a skill-transferring jade token. It contains the Overlord Spear Technique, which I primarily cultivate. I bestow it upon you as well," Yang Ye also imparted his cultivation technique to Sheng Huai'an.

It was a pity that he couldn't pass on the cultivation method he himself practiced.

The other five Brigade Generals looked on with envy. General Yang Ye was clearly grooming Sheng Huai'an as his successor.

The Overlord Spear Technique was General Yang Ye's signature skill, and they had never witnessed him show such favor to anyone before. Sheng Huai'an was the first.

Sheng Huai'an was overjoyed. The Overlord Spear Technique, for cavalry charges and combat, required formidable weapons like spears and halberds.

"Thank you, General."

Sheng Huai'an was even happier to receive the spear technique than the Fourth-grade Breakthrough Pill.

"Alright, you may go," Yang Ye waved his hand, dismissing Sheng Huai'an.

Upon returning to his quarters, Sheng Huai'an couldn't wait to use the skill-transferring jade token.

He simply placed it on his forehead and channeled his True Essence.

A vast amount of knowledge regarding the Overlord Spear Technique flooded his mind, and simultaneously, the technique was recorded by the system.

Name: Sheng Huai'an
Race: Human
Realm: Martial Practitioner Great Perfection
Cultivation Techniques: [Ferocious Ox Strength (Minor Accomplishment)][Blood Fiend Saber Technique (Great Accomplishment)][Overlord Spear Technique (Uninitiated)] (+)
Strength: 4500 jin
Talent: Silver Archer (+)
Slaughter Value: 53

Sheng Huai'an didn't hesitate and immediately allocated points to cultivate.

He didn't have time to slowly comprehend it.

After consuming twenty points of Slaughter Value, the Overlord Spear Technique reached the beginner level.

A surge of experience for the Overlord Spear Technique filled his mind, making him as proficient as if he had practiced it for two and a half years.

The remaining thirty-three points of Slaughter Value were not enough to upgrade the Overlord Spear Technique further.

With insufficient Slaughter Value, Sheng Huai'an had no choice but to stop and begin circulating the Ferocious Ox Strength to condense his Martial True Essence.

He had already grown accustomed to converting sleep into cultivation.

Hardworking people work very hard!

The next morning, after morning exercises and breakfast.

After the sun rose, the Xiongnu army began to attack the city again.

Listening to the horns and war drums from outside the city, Sheng Huai'an's blood began to boil.

He couldn't stay idle and wanted to go out and fight the enemy.

Although General Yang Ye told him to rest, wasn't Slaughter Value more important than resting!?

Rest?

Only the weak needed to rest, did he?

No!

Sheng Huai'an immediately grabbed his saber, slung his bow and arrows over his back, and went to the city wall to fight.

"Captain, are you going to fight?" Tang Yunshan looked at Sheng Huai'an and asked.

"Yes, I'm going to participate in defending the city!" Sheng Huai'an nodded.

"What about us then?" Tang Yunshan looked at Sheng Huai'an. They didn't have any combat missions.

"You guys should rest well!" Sheng Huai'an strode towards the city wall.

His subordinate soldiers looked at each other.

"Has the captain become addicted to killing enemies?" Hai Dahe couldn't help but say.

"Who knows!"

Sheng Huai'an arrived at the city wall and saw the Xiongnu army launching an attack.

The Xiongnu Cavalry roamed about two hundred meters outside the city, constantly shooting arrows at the city wall, suppressing the soldiers on the wall and creating conditions for the Xiongnu infantry to approach the city wall.

The archers on the city wall also shot arrows back in retaliation.

But those cavalrymen were very fast, and it was difficult for the archers on the city wall to hit them.

They could only turn to shoot the charging Xiongnu soldiers.

Sheng Huai'an took down the bow and arrows he was carrying, nocked three arrows, and shot them out.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Three arrows were shot out, all hitting their targets, killing three cavalrymen.

As a Silver Archer, his archery skills, if not divine, were at least proficient.

Seeing Sheng Huai'an shoot three arrows at once, and all three hitting the enemy, the archers nearby were full of surprise.

This archery skill is too amazing!

Sheng Huai'an didn't pause, he continued to draw his bow and nock arrows, and also shot out three arrows.

Three more cavalrymen fell outside the city.

Watching Sheng Huai'an shoot down Xiongnu cavalry like this, the archers next to him opened their mouths wide. Where did such a divine archer come from!?

Some of the Xiongnu cavalry outside the city noticed Sheng Huai'an and drew their bows, shooting arrows at him.

Sheng Huai'an's eyes were sharp, and he quickly dodged, avoiding the arrow.

Without a word, he shot an arrow back.

The opponent, unfortunately, could not dodge the arrow he shot. It pierced his heart, and he fell from his horse.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Another three arrows were shot out, killing three Xiongnu cavalrymen.

Yang Ye and the other generals on the city tower noticed Sheng Huai'an.

"No, didn't I tell that kid to rest? Why is he back on the city wall!"

"Heh, good fellow, his archery skills are amazing, not a single arrow missed when shooting down Xiongnu cavalry."

"This archery skill is probably among the best in our army."

"This guy is probably a battle maniac, he just can't stay idle."

The generals said one after another.

Soon, Sheng Huai'an shot all thirty arrows from his quiver, killing thirty Xiongnu cavalrymen.

He looked at the archer next to him. There were still many arrowheads in the quiver on his back.

"Brother, give me your arrowheads!" Sheng Huai'an said directly.

"Ah? Oh!"

"Here you go!"

The archer beside him snapped back to attention, his eyes filled with admiration for Sheng Huai'an.

This was practically a divine archer!

He handed over the remaining twenty arrows to Sheng Huai'an, letting him take down the Xiongnu cavalry.

Sheng Huai'an took the quiver. "Thanks, brother. Once this is over, I'll treat you to Yichun Tower and the prettiest girls."

"You got it, you got it!" The older man's eyes lit up at the mention of Yichun Tower.

With the arrows in hand, Sheng Huai'an nocked one and fired.

Cavalrymen were continuously shot off their horses.

At the same time, this drew the attention of the Xiongnu cavalry, and hundreds of them drew their bows and fired at him.

Seeing the overwhelming volley of arrows, Sheng Huai'an quickly dodged.

However, the older brother who gave him the arrows was too slow to react and was shot into a pincushion.

That older brother, shot into a pincushion by the Xiongnu cavalry, seemed to have saved Sheng Huai'an some money!?

"Damn Xiongnu, that was my good brother!" Sheng Huai'an fought back fiercely, nocking and drawing his bow, killing three Xiongnu cavalrymen to avenge his good brother.
