Great Sun Heart Sutra: Entry Level

Sheng Huai'an gazed at the scripture in the book, completely absorbed.

In his mind's sea, a fiery red sun seemed to appear, its aura vast and distant.

It felt as if it had come from the dawn of time!

His heart beat powerfully, his Blood Essence surging and refining continuously, like crimson flames burning.

Martial Masters refined Blood Essence, condensing it to strengthen themselves!

After finishing the scripture, Sheng Huai'an awoke. The book in his hands spontaneously combusted, quickly turning to ash.

"This..."

Sheng Huai'an was stunned. This martial arts cultivation manual was real.

The technique the Old Soldier gave him was indeed genuine.

This meant the Old Soldier hadn't been fooled by the old beggar; he had bought a true cultivation method.

He could feel his own Blood Essence had been refined by twenty percent.

This was just from reading the scripture once, and it had already refined his Blood Essence by twenty percent.

At the same time!

Name: Sheng Huai'an

Race: Human

Realm: Martial Master Early Stage

Cultivation Methods: [Great Sun Heart Sutra (Uninitiated)] [+ ] [Ferocious Ox Strength (Minor Accomplishment)] [+ ] [Blood Fiend Saber Technique (Major Accomplishment)] [Overlord Spear Technique (Initiated)]

Strength: Six Thousand Jin

Talent: Silver Archer (+)

Slaughter Value: 188

The refined Blood Essence had increased his strength by two hundred jin.

Simultaneously, the golden screen had recorded the Great Sun Heart Sutra.

It was a pity that the 188 Slaughter Value couldn't be used to upgrade the Great Sun Heart Sutra.

Could this truly be a Martial Emperor-level cultivation technique?!

Looking at the 188 Slaughter Value, this was what he had gained from defeating enemies after continuously breaking through yesterday.

He wondered how much Slaughter Value it would take to upgrade the Great Sun Heart Sutra once.

He inwardly examined his dantian. The Martial True Essence within him had begun to turn golden.

The Martial True Essence cultivated through Ferocious Ox Strength was blood-red.

Since he couldn't upgrade the Great Sun Heart Sutra with points, Sheng Huai'an decided to comprehend it.

The scripture was already imprinted in his mind, and he could comprehend and cultivate it himself.

That night, he didn't sleep but instead began to comprehend and cultivate the Great Sun Heart Sutra.

As he comprehended and cultivated, the True Essence in his body transformed rapidly.

In his sea of consciousness, a great sun rose, its radiance piercing the darkness.

The Great Sun Heart Sutra involved visualizing the great sun, using its form to refine the spirit, nourishing the body with the spirit, observing the heavens with the mind, and observing oneself with the spirit...

He spent the entire night without sleep. A great sun rose from the horizon.

Sheng Huai'an's entire body seemed to radiate golden light. He was like a fireball, and a powerful, dense energy continuously cleansed his body, blood, bones, and sinews.

Only after the sun rose did he slowly cease his practice!

The night of comprehension and cultivation hadn't allowed him to initiate the Great Sun Heart Sutra, but his physique had become even stronger than before.

His company had been granted a special two-day rest, so there was no morning drill today.

Sheng Huai'an didn't order his subordinates to force themselves to drill either. Tomorrow, he would lead them out to the grasslands again.

Since he had a rare opportunity for his soldiers to rest for two days, he would let them rest well.

After Sheng Huai'an finished breakfast, he slung his bow and arrows over his back, his saber at his waist, and returned to the city wall to defend against the Xiongnu.

If he couldn't initiate the Great Sun Heart Sutra, he would continue to kill enemies!

He would gain Slaughter Value and use it to upgrade his cultivation.

Upon reaching the city wall, the defending soldiers were already on high alert.

Outside the pass, in the Xiongnu army camp, banners fluttered in the wind.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Wuuu..."

The sounds of war drums and horns rose, and the intent of battle swept towards the heavens.

This land had seen continuous warfare, burying countless loyal bones.

The Xiongnu army dispatched over ten thousand troops once again to attack Anning Pass.

"Archers, prepare!"

The Colonel in charge of the defense shouted immediately.

The archers stepped forward one by one, nocking arrows and drawing their bows!

Sheng Huai'an also stepped forward, nocking three arrows, his gaze sharp as he stared at the Xiongnu army.

"Fire!!"

The Colonel roared.

"Whoosh..."

Arrows rained down, piercing the enemy camp.

The Xiongnu army was not to be outdone. Their archers began to suppress the defense, and dense volleys of arrows shot out from the Xiongnu ranks.

The overwhelming hail of arrows flew towards the city walls, forcing Sheng Huai'an and the other archers to dodge.

Without reaching the Houtian realm and forging skin of bronze and bones of iron, one could not withstand the barrage of arrows.

Sheng Huai'an had no desire to die under a rain of arrows, like a defenseless hedgehog.

Seeing the archers on the city wall being suppressed, the Xiongnu attacking army began to charge.

Sheng Huai'an directly shot through the crenellations on the city wall.

Firing one arrow at a time, he could still kill an enemy.

Soon, all thirty arrows were expended, and his Slaughter Value directly increased to 231 points.

The thirty arrows had earned him 43 points of Slaughter Value.

At the same time, a plus sign finally appeared behind the Great Sun Heart Sutra cultivation technique on the golden screen.

Name: Sheng Huai'an

Race: Human

Realm: Martial Master Early Stage (+)

Cultivation Techniques: [Great Sun Heart Sutra(Uninitiated)] (+) [Ferocious Ox Strength(Minor Accomplishment)] (+) [Blood Fiend Saber Technique(Major Accomplishment)] [Overlord Spear Technique(Initiated)]

Strength: 6,000 jin

Talent: Silver Archer (+)

Slaughter Value: 231

Sheng Huai'an was overjoyed to see that he could now level up the Great Sun Heart Sutra to the initiated stage.

Without hesitation, he directly spent points to improve the Great Sun Heart Sutra, completely ignoring his cultivation realm.

Two hundred points of Slaughter Value vanished, and Sheng Huai'an clicked his tongue. It cost 200 points just to initiate it; how many points would it take to advance further?

Countless cultivation insights and understandings of the Great Sun Heart Sutra flooded into Sheng Huai'an's mind.

It felt as if he had cultivated the Great Sun Heart Sutra for a thousand years.

Simultaneously, all the Martial True Essence within his body transformed into a golden hue.

His Blood Essence also strengthened considerably, his internal blood energy surging like a furnace, powerful and immense.

His strength increased directly by 500 jin. At the Martial Master Early Stage, he was already comparable to a Houtian realm Martial Practitioner. No one would believe it if this were to be spread.

Feeling the power coursing through him, Sheng Huai'an felt terrifyingly strong.

He was confident he could kill a Martial Master realm enemy with a single punch.

Looking at the Xiongnu army, Sheng Huai'an's fighting spirit surged.

These were all sources of Slaughter Value, the wellspring of his strength.

Like leeks, they were cut down only to grow back, and grow back again, feeding his growth endlessly.

With the Great Sun Heart Sutra initiated, as the technique circulated, Sheng Huai'an noticed that the speed of condensing Martial True Essence was more than a hundred times stronger than with the Ferocious Ox Strength.

The battle for the city grew increasingly brutal. The Xiongnu army, fearless of death, climbed the city walls and engaged in fierce combat with the defending soldiers.

Sheng Huai'an naturally led the charge, plunging into the enemy ranks, afraid that others would snatch his kills.

Having broken through to the Martial Master Early Stage, his strength was comparable to a Houtian realm Martial Practitioner. Against these ordinary enemy soldiers, Sheng Huai'an was like a god of slaughter.

The bloody fiend energy on his saber flashed. With a single slash, he killed three Xiongnu soldiers.

Seeing Sheng Huai'an appear on the city wall once again, slaughtering enemies.

"This kid is quite the warmonger; he refuses to rest even when told to," Yang Ye said with a smile.

"This child is simply a born killer."

A Brigade General looked at the malevolent aura surrounding Sheng Huai'an. Many Colonels in the Houtian realm could not compare to him.

"His strength has increased again. He's simply a monster!" General Polu, Zhao Yong'an, remarked.

Sheng Huai'an's growth rate was too fast, so fast that he could barely believe it.

"Could this kid really get stronger just by killing enemies?!"

The truth was confirmed!

Sheng Huai'an's blade fell, cleanly and swiftly slaying five Xiongnu soldiers.

Around him, over twenty Xiongnu corpses already lay on the ground.

"Wei dog, I will fight you!"

A Centurion of the Martial Master Mid Stage from the Xiongnu army saw how powerful Sheng Huai'an was, slaughtering ordinary soldiers like pigs and dogs. He stepped forward to fight Sheng Huai'an, intending to block him so that the ordinary soldiers could capture the city walls.

The opponent swung his saber, True Essence surging around the blade, his strength unparalleled.

Sheng Huai'an looked at his opponent and slashed his saber horizontally.

"Clang!"

With a single sound, Hu Bolang's saber snapped.

He stared at his own full-power strike, which had not only been easily blocked by Sheng Huai'an but had also resulted in his saber being cut in half.

The overwhelming force sent him staggering back two steps.

Wasn't this person only in the Martial Master Early Stage? Why is he so strong?

The answer was Sheng Huai'an's blade.

A blood-red saber light flashed, and head separated from body.

Qian Gou Duo, the Battalion Commander of the Fifteenth Battalion, was stunned. A Centurion from the Xiongnu army, killed in just two blows?!

Looking at the dense Blood Fiend energy emanating from Sheng Huai'an, Qian Gou Duo felt that this person was terrifying.

Sheng Huai'an killed his opponent and gained twenty-two Slaughter Value.

He didn't pause, continuing to slay enemies.

A Xiongnu leader at the Houtian realm climbed the city wall and charged towards Sheng Huai'an.
