Chapter Sixteen: Breakthrough (Seeking Recommendations and Collections)

  On the city wall of Tiger Gate, a group of people stood in a row, except for Qin Hao who was severely injured and unconscious being sent to the rear for treatment, the other nine people all stood on the city wall, watching the heavy cavalry and beastman troops fighting on the outer battlefield.

  Fierce, the bear man unit relied on their strong physique and heavy cavalry to engage in a hard fight. The heavy cavalry seemed to have arranged a strategic plan, trying to avoid a head-on collision, transforming into flexible tactics, surrounding and attacking.

  Gazing calmly at the brutal scenes on the battlefield ahead, his mind kept calculating. If he were in the space of his previous life, if he were the commander-in-chief, how would he fight this battle?

  "Self-study, it's effective! This time you've actually performed so outstandingly!" Zheng Xiaohu's voice came over, and the next moment, Zheng Xiaohu followed behind Shi Hu towards Leng Xiao Yao and his group.

  "General." The self-taught and others stood up straight, saluting Shi Hu with a military salute.

  "Good job this time, you guys did great." Shi Hu's face was filled with a smile as he praised them. The next moment, his gaze met Leng Xiao Yao's, and he smiled, "You did well, didn't disappoint the old man."

  "Whatever." He responded with a cool smile.

  "But this time you're too reckless, next time can't be like this, will make people worry." Shi Hu said calmly.

  When the generals behind Shi Hu heard this, they were all stunned for a moment, because they didn't understand why Shi Hu would say such words to this new recruit who had just joined the army. However, in their subconscious mind, they thought it was just Shi Hu's way of showing affection and care for his soldiers.

  Leng Xiao Yao heard Shi Hu's concerned words and slightly nodded his head in response: "Thank you for your concern, General."

  "Haha, keep up the good work." Shi Hu smiled and left these words behind as he turned around and departed.

  "Well done, kid. That was a great fight." Zheng Xiaohu praised Ling Han and immediately followed Shi Hu's figure to leave.

  Wails echoed, a burst of horn sounds rose, the two sides of the battlefield that were in fierce combat simultaneously parted ways, both sides retreated in an orderly manner, leaving behind rows and rows of corpses on the battlefield.

  "Look at the sunset below the mountain," Shi Hu said, "The sky is already late, except for the remaining soldiers, the rest of the people and horses must also pay attention to prevent the beastmen from attacking in the middle of the night. Deputy officer, quickly count today's losses."

  "Yes, General." Lin Wenbin and other high-ranking generals responded in unison.

  In the dead of night, Leng Xiang lay on his bed, unable to sleep no matter how hard he tried. His mind kept replaying the scenes from the battlefield that day, filled with doubts. Why did he absorb the power of the dead souls and was able to replenish his physical energy? It seemed like his body had been strengthened as well. Despite being severely injured several times, his wounds healed in just a few breaths. This indestructible golden body technique was indeed a profound cultivation method! It seemed that tomorrow, he would have to continue killing more people and absorbing their souls to see how powerful he would become when he reached the copper body stage.

  "Four hundred and twenty thousand, plus six thousand more souls' power... it seems that the first layer will be reached soon." Han Xiang looked at the tombstone in the Chaos Pearl's space, displaying a number, and found that as long as he absorbed another ten thousand or so souls' power, he could reach the Copper Body Realm. This was all thanks to Bai Qi killing forty thousand troops back then and absorbing their souls' power, which naturally transferred to Han Xiang after Bai Qi's death.

  "Niang di, I won't be able to refine it to the end and turn my own body into a golden one!" Leng Xiao Yao pinched her slightly stiff skin, thinking secretly in her heart.

  At this moment, in the Fengdu City of the Tianlong Kingdom, inside the Leng Mansion, Leng Xuetian sat quietly in his study, looking at the messages brought by the Leng family scouts. Every time he finished reading a page, the smile on his face deepened slightly. When he finished reading the last page, a joyful expression appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but praise: "Well done, beautifully done."

  "Master, what's got you so excited?" Fu Bo saw Leng Xiao Tian's excited expression and his face showed a hint of surprise, because in his impression, it was rare to see Leng Xiao Tian with such an excited expression.

  "Master Fu, just take a look at these and you'll understand." Leng Xuetian smiled silently, handing over the few messages in his hand to Master Fu, letting him see for himself.

  Fu Bo's face showed a hint of puzzlement as he took the paper, scanning it from top to bottom. After reading the message, Fu Bo's face also revealed a slight look of surprise.

  "This little guy actually hid so deeply, and actually beheaded a thousand people. Hehe, interesting, somewhat like my style back then." Leng Xiao Tian muttered to himself with a smile.

  "Cutting down thousands of people, and yet relying on his own strength, is this Xiao Yao a human or not?" Fu Bo muttered to himself, a look of bewilderment appearing on his face.

  Leng Xiao Tian heard Fu Bo's words and also had a hint of confusion on his face, saying: "Indeed, I initially thought it was just false reports from the scouts, but the three routes of scouts I sent out all returned with consistent news, and even Shi Hu's message confirmed that Xiang Yang, this little rascal, killed thousands of enemy soldiers on the battlefield, and it was a solo achievement. This kid is really a dark horse!"

  "Not good, master of the house. In fact, this is not good for Xiao Yao." Fu Bo suddenly exclaimed and his face turned solemn.

  Leng Xiao Tian, who was originally in a state of excitement, heard Fu Bo's words and his face changed slightly, blurting out: "What do you mean by that?"

  "Master, think about it. If the young master can kill thousands with just his physical strength, he will inevitably attract the attention of the Beastman Nation. At that time, they will not let the young master grow up. The only way to prevent someone from growing up is to kill him."

  Leng Xiao Tian's eyes widened as soon as he heard Fu Bo say this, and a majestic aura emanated from his body: "If they dare to, I will immediately lead the troops to attack the Beastman Country and avenge my grandson."

  "The master of the house, with our country's military strength, it is fundamentally impossible to attack the Beastman Country. If it were possible, would we have needed to endure and compromise in the first place?" Fu Bo's face revealed a mixture of laughter and tears as he responded, realizing that whenever the topic involved the Cold family's descendants, Leng Xiao Tian was like a protective old mother hen, always shielding his family members.

  Leng Xiao Tian's anger rose, it can be said that he was furious, apart from the original Taishang Huang, only Fu Bo dared to advise him, if it were an ordinary person, they would have been split in two by Leng Xiao Tian.

  "Fubo, what do you think?" After calming down, Leng Xiao Tian found that he couldn't come up with a solution. He couldn't possibly send his grandson to the border and then immediately summon him back, could he? So he asked Fubo, the military advisor by his side.

  Fu Bo sank into thought for a moment before looking up and saying: "Master, why don't I just go to the border pass and take a look around?"

  "Fu Bo, isn't this bad?! Originally, I wanted you to take a break for the rest of your life, but like this, you'll have to run around again, and my heart won't be at peace! Cold Xiao Tian naturally knew that if Fu Bo went to the border, his grandson's safety would be absolutely guaranteed, but thinking about how Fu Bo had followed him on the road for decades without ever resting, he couldn't bear it."

  "Heh heh, the master's intention is clear to this old servant. Currently, this method is the best, if the master can give up everything for the Cold family, then this old servant can also exhaust his last drop of blood for the master." Although Fu Bo's tone was extremely calm, his words were filled with emotion.

  Leng Xiao Tian gazed at Fu Bo for a long time, then bowed deeply and said: "Fu Bo's great kindness to the Leng family, I, Xiao Tian, have no way to repay. If there is an opportunity in the next life, let me return the favor to Fu Bo."

  "The master is so generous, I, an old slave, cannot accept it!" Fu Bo hurriedly waved his hand to stop Leng Xiao Tian's bowing and responded with a sincere face.

  Leng Xiao saw Fu Bo's expression and knew that if he was too pretentious, it would only bring Fu Bo's displeasure. So he stood up and said: "Then I won't be polite either, brother."

  "By the way, Master Fu, what have those few good-for-nothings been up to these past few days?" Cold Cry suddenly remembered his two incompetent grandsons.

  "The two young masters have been staying in the courtyard for nearly half a year, except for one or two times when they went out to have fun, they never left the house again."

  "Alas! How can the children born to the legitimate wife be so different from those born to the concubine?" Cold Xiao Tian sighed helplessly.

  "The master of the house, whether it's the first wife or the concubine, as long as the blood flowing through their veins is that of the Leng family, that's all that matters."

  Leng Xiao Tian heard Fu Bo's words, a smile on his face: "Yes! I'm old-fashioned, what does it matter whether he's from the main room or the side room? As long as he has the blood of the Leng family flowing through his veins, then he is my grandson, haha!"

  In the city of Fengdu, in the dead of night, a figure suddenly rose into the air and flew swiftly towards the direction of Hu Men Gate. If someone had seen this scene at that moment, they would have been shocked and exclaimed: "Sword Saint."
