Chapter 88: The War Saint of Heaven

  In the military tent, Jiang Huan sat stupidly beside the long table, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He raised his head to look at the north and whispered, "Zi Yu, I wonder how you're doing now. That human form must be useful, if it is, you should have broken through to Martial Master by now, maybe even surpassed me by a lot." As he spoke, Jiang Huan's face involuntarily broke into a smile.

  "Hmm!" A gentle cough brought Jiang Heng back from his reverie.

  Usurper Tian was still wearing a white dress, standing quietly behind Jiang Hao, with a smile on his face, looking at Jiang Hao.

  "Teacher!"

  "Hmm, what's wrong, thinking about that little Zi Yu again? Hehe, but Ou Yang Xue is not bad either, daring to love and hate. It seems she has fallen in love with you, kid." said Yi Tian Dao.

  Jiang Hao's face turned red, and he hastily said, "Teacher, you're teasing me again. This Ouyang Xue is a spoiled daughter of heaven, who knows when she'll get tired of me and kick me away with one foot."

  "Ha ha, you little brat, you got a good deal and still act smart, heh heh, I reckon you won't have any good days from now on."

  "Teacher, I've already mastered the Wind Chasing Step. Can I practice the Thunder Chasing Step next?" Jiang Hao saw that he couldn't win an argument with Shi Tian, so he hastily changed the subject.

  Tian thought for a moment and said, "In theory, it's like that. However, the cultivation conditions for Chui Lei Bu are quite strict, and it can only be practiced on a night with thunderstorms, where lightning converges."

  "Is this a place where thunder gathers?" Jiang Hao was taken aback. "Could it be that to practice the Thunder Chasing Step, I must first find a place struck by lightning?"

  Tian nodded and said, "Chui Lei Bu requires a high level of physical fitness and also needs the power of thunder. Although your half-dragon body should be more than enough to perform Chui Lei Bu, I still hope you can undergo Thunderbolt Refining Body."

  Jiang Hao couldn't help but shudder, others were dodging the thunder and lightning, yet he was going to go looking for it himself. Thinking of that numb and tingling feeling, Jiang Hao's whole body started to feel uncomfortable.

  "What? Are you afraid? If you are, then forget it, I won't force you." Zi Tian said, looking at Jiang Huan who remained silent, his face changing colors constantly, before continuing in a different tone.

  Jiang Hao raised his head and took a glance at Tianyi, pursed his lips, and said, "Teacher, I'm fine." As he spoke, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes, and all of this was seen by Tianyi.

  "Teacher, when you first asked me to bring this military unit over, what was the reason? Was it really for me to command battles? I don't have any experience in that area at all." Jiang Hao said with a bitter face.

  "This time, Tian didn't get angry, but instead smiled and said, 'Huang, since ancient times, even the strongest beings have been helpless when faced with human sea tactics. There must be some kind of constraint in this world that prevents those strong beings from taking action and causing too much slaughter. Therefore, someone needs to help you do some things, which is something you will inevitably face in the future. No matter how strong a person is, there are limits. So, I want you to not only work hard to cultivate and strengthen your own power but also learn the way of governance. Later, you will understand. Strategic planning is also an ability that strong people should possess.'"

  Jiang Hao suddenly felt that his head was a bit big, but from the words of Yi Tian, Jiang Hao had already understood that Yi Tian wanted to cultivate himself into a commander-in-chief, not just someone with great strength. However, it was clear that Jiang Hao had some resistance in his heart, although he no longer had much feeling about killing people, it didn't mean that he was a ruthless killer, the principle of "not offending others if they don't offend me" was also one of Jiang Hao's codes of conduct.

  "Teacher, must we learn this art of war?" Jiang Huan licked his lips and asked.

  Shì Tiān sighed and said, "Hào'ér, if you don't want to learn, the teacher won't force you. After all, you have your own path. The teacher doesn't belong to this world of yours anyway, so maybe my ideas can't be accepted by you. However, you are still the smartest child I've ever seen, and also Shì Tiān's disciple. This will never change." As Shì Tiān looked into Jiāng Hào's eyes, a faint sense of melancholy emerged, which was accumulated from countless years of sorrow. Besides that, there was also a deep affection for Jiāng Hào.

  Jiang Hao's heart was like a clear mirror, and he understood many things. Seeing the gaze of Yi Tian, Jiang Hao suddenly thought of his own mother again, because that kind and even benevolent gaze often appeared in his mother's eyes. As Jiang Hao thought of something, an unusual light burst forth from his eyes, looking at Yi Tian, "Master, teach me, your disciple is not an ordinary person."

  He didn't expect Jiang Hao to agree so suddenly, first stunned, then feeling a sour nose, and his eyes were filled with a hint of gratitude, of course, this was not seen by Jiang Hao. "Hao'er, do you really plan to learn the way of leading troops?"

  Actually, the reason why Emperor Tian let Jiang Heng learn to lead troops is because he has his own motives. Although this world has already passed through millions of years, the pattern of the mainland has not changed much. Emperor Tian knows that there must be top-level strongmen in this world, those who can destroy the sky and earth with a wave of their hand. Although he himself has fallen, he no longer has the heart to compete. In fact, during his own era, Emperor Tian was always a lone and unbridled wanderer, relying on opportunities and talent to stand at the pinnacle of strongmen. However, this also led him to offend many people, and due to his personality, he never had any friends he could trust, which is why he ultimately fell under the siege of several strongmen. Emperor Tian still holds a grudge about this to this day, and he doesn't want his disciple to follow in his footsteps.

  Jiang Hao didn't say a word, he just looked at Tianyi and nodded seriously.

  "Good." Zi Tian clapped his hands, and a jade scroll appeared in his hand. He immediately handed it to Jiang Huan, "This is a book of war that I obtained in my early years, but at the time, I was too ambitious, so I directly threw it aside. However, this book of war was written by a powerful warrior saint back then. You can take a good look."

  Jiang Hao took out the jade slip, without saying a word, sat down cross-legged and stuck the jade slip between his eyebrows.

  Boom!

  Jiang Hao's mind was suddenly filled with a massive amount of information, including texts and patterns, which were extremely detailed. The texts and patterns transformed into light balls that floated quietly in his mind. In the next moment, the light balls began to move slowly and gradually took shape as a person. Upon closer inspection, it was a refined scholar with an elegant appearance, exuding an air of nobility. His eyebrows and eyes were clearly defined, and his pupils were pure black, like the endless depths of the universe. Jiang Hao felt as if he was being drawn in when he gazed at him for too long. The scholar's nose bridge was straight, and his nose tip had a hint of softness. His skin was not purely white but warm and smooth, like jade stone.

  "I am the one who has fought against heaven, and after thousands of years of comprehension, I have reached the holy stage. I specially pass down this book to show future generations, remember not to use it for evil purposes, otherwise heaven and earth will surely punish you." The elegant man said in a soft voice, but that voice was filled with endless majesty, even Jiang Huan's mind was constantly transmitting a painful feeling.

  Jiang Hao slowly opened his eyes, his face filled with a look of horror. Could this be the power of the Holy Stage? Even after tens of thousands of years, even if it was just a projection, it seemed that with just a thought, he would be reduced to nothingness. "In the future, I will definitely reach that step as well." At this moment, Jiang Hao had already planted this obsession in his heart.

  "Teacher, is this War Saint very powerful?" Jiang Hao asked.

  "He nodded and said, 'Well, his strength is only average in the Holy Realm, but he has a group of powerful followers who would die for him, including some at the peak of the Holy Realm. So even I wouldn't dare to provoke him easily.'"

  "How is that possible?" Jiang Hao's eyes were filled with doubt. The idea of someone stronger than himself following him was simply a fantasy.

  Tian Xing smiled and said, "This is a fact, he's indeed a very thoughtful person, but he's also very straightforward and sincere with others. Most importantly, he has an exceptionally intelligent and agile mind, and is very good at reading people, I'd say he's one of the extraordinary people of my time."

  Tian paused for a moment, then continued, "Hao'er, you can take a good look at this military book. It should be of great help to you in this aspect. I won't be able to assist you with this, it requires your own comprehension. Oh, and by the way, when you cultivate from now on, bring out that dragon egg, it will aid in its incubation."

  Jiang Hao nodded and stopped talking, his mind completely immersed in the light group. As he studied the Battle Book, Jiang Hao's face changed constantly, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling, sometimes biting his lips, and sometimes suddenly enlightened.

  This meditation lasted for several hours, until the arrival of Lei Xiang, Jiang Huan finally moved his mind from that war book, and in his heart, besides shock, there was also a strong sense of reverence.

  This War Saint has experienced countless wars big and small throughout his life, yet he has never tasted defeat even once. This can no longer be described as monstrous, I'm afraid not even a God of War could achieve this.

  "General, all the troops have been assembled, look?" Lei Xiang walked into the military tent and saw Jiang Huan's appearance, his heart was actually filled with a hint of apprehension.

  Jiang Hao stood up, brushed off the dust on his body with a wave of his hand, and smiled as he said, "Thanks to the deputy commander, then take me to see it. It's also good for me to experience the core strength of our military department."
