Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

In the military, a place where might makes right, that's where things are always decided.

No matter how well Li Changqing arranged his disguise and identity, and even if he personally gave the order, it wouldn't matter.

These tough military officers were still unwilling to accept it.

Marshal Qian clearly shared the same thought, and he did not speak up to stop the provocations from those around him.

Even as the Marshal of the Zhennan Army, he couldn't refuse someone personally appointed by His Highness the Regent.

He couldn't even give orders to send someone to test the waters.

If Marshal Qian did that, wouldn't it show that he doesn't trust the Regent's judgment?

This is a major taboo for officials and generals.

If Nangong Qiushui were to jump out on her own, she would be beaten up by the fierce generals in the army.

That's a different concept altogether.

The person recommended by His Highness the Regent was no good; he made a huge blunder as soon as he arrived.

Therefore, it was only natural for them to change their vanguard officer.

Li Changqing immediately saw through the thoughts of the group in front of him.

He doesn't care either.

To resolve the situation swiftly, they needed to act as quickly as possible. He had to subdue these formidable generals in the shortest amount of time.

"If you seniors would be so kind as to offer your guidance, Nangong Qiushui would be extremely grateful."

Li Changqing took the initiative to step forward and walked to the center of the crowd.

Seeing that a fight was about to break out, the others all retreated and pretended to stay far away.

But in reality, everyone is secretly watching this place, hoping to get an answer.

What exactly is the purpose of His Highness the Regent sending out Nangong Qiushui?

"Since General Nangong has put it that way, I, Old Niu, am a rough man. Let me, Old Niu, have a go at you."

The general who stepped forward first in the ranks was rustic in appearance, yet he was a very famous figure in Zhennan.

This General Niu did not learn martial arts from a young age. He only began practicing military martial arts after joining the army.

Logically speaking, if he started practicing martial arts at his age, his life would probably be stuck in that field forever.

If you miss the best time to learn martial arts, it will often be difficult to make a breakthrough in martial arts.

General Niu was different.

Although he missed the best time to learn martial arts, he showed extraordinary talent from the moment he began practicing martial arts.

One journey begins with the acquired and ends with the innate.

He has broken through to the current Grandmaster level.

Even Marshal Qian said that the one with the highest martial arts talent in their Zhennan Army was probably Niu Dashan.

If he hadn't missed the best time to learn martial arts, he would probably have already broken through to the Free and Unfettered realm, or even the Great Free and Unfettered realm.

A master at the Grandmaster level, and one who fought his way up from the battlefield.

His martial arts skills rank among the top ten in the entire Zhennan Army.

He took the initiative to step forward and test the strength of Nangong Qiushui, who is also Li Changqing.

The soldiers of Zhennan Army were completely convinced.

If this young man can defeat Niu Dashan, it means he was sent by His Highness the Regent to help him.

The opponent's strength may far exceed their imagination.

But if the enemy can't defeat Niu Dashan, then his role as the vanguard will be in serious trouble.

Niu Dashan was wearing a full suit of armor, yet his movements were not affected in the slightest.

Standing opposite Li Changqing, his eyes were fixed firmly on Li Changqing.

"The kung fu I practiced was transformed from the martial arts of our army."

Niu Dashan didn't take action directly, but instead took the initiative to introduce the situation.

"Having cultivated to this level, very few experts of the same rank can defeat me. So, General Nangong, rest assured, go all out and bring it on. I can handle it!"

After he finished speaking, Li Changqing couldn't help but laugh out loud.

With him around, we go hungry nine times in three days.

After saying these words, Niu Dashan started to move.

He originally wanted to wait for Li Changqing to make a move, but Li Changqing remained unmoved.

Niu Dashan had no choice but to take matters into his own hands.

He shouted loudly, taking the initiative.

Just as everyone was about to cover their ears, he sprinted toward Li Changqing.

"Like a mad bull!"

Niu Dashan practices the Mad Bull Fist.

Although he had modified the Mad Bull Boxing style by this time, some clues could still be discerned from his every move.

He clearly intended to use this method to entangle Li Changqing in a prolonged battle. Even if he gained the upper hand, he wouldn't defeat Li Changqing so quickly.

The matter is not the insignificant Nangong Qiushui, but the regent behind him.

The people personally sent by the Regent should not be defeated so easily.

Even if you're going to lose, you should lose with dignity.

Despite his seemingly simple and unassuming appearance, Niu Dashan is actually quite cunning.

Over the years, he rose through the ranks and became a general in the Zhennan Army.

He relied not only on his martial arts skills, but also on his character and conduct.

Niu Dashan appeared to be using his full strength, but in reality, he was holding back.

Li Changqing quickly realized this.

He had originally thought that the other party was, after all, a fierce general of the Zhennan Army.

If he were to stumble here, how would Niu Dashan lead troops into battle in the future?

Now it seems that's not the case at all.

The other party played the social game with him, and Li Changqing played the game with Niu Dashan.

Wouldn't that render them useless?

This is an army that prioritizes force above all else.

With this in mind, Li Changqing slightly increased his strength.

The cultivation level was adjusted from the late stage of the Innate Realm to the early stage of the Profound Realm, which is the Grandmaster Realm.

Niu Dashan threw a punch, but Li Changqing dodged it.

The punch created a crater in the ground.

The pit is over a meter deep, but not very wide.

But it is precisely because of this that we can prove how concentrated Niu Dashan's explosive power is.

The fact that he unleashed such concentrated power precisely demonstrates his extraordinary strength.

The soldiers of Zhennan Army who had stopped their training were all amazed by Niu Dashan's fierce and powerful demeanor.

"As expected of Brother Niu!"

"That was a satisfying fight."

"Where did this pretty boy come from, daring to come here and try to steal the lead?"

"It's time to teach them a lesson."

Just as everyone was discussing this, Niu Dashan prepared to end the fight.

They have already countered several moves, and the young General Nangong has managed to save face.

Even if we defeat him, it wouldn't be entirely unreasonable.

Without hesitation, Niu Dashan unleashed a double-eared attack on Li Changqing.

Li Changqing had already made his plans by this time.

He had originally intended to save face for this esteemed official.

It seems that won't work now.

Just as the enemy charged forward, Li Changqing took a step forward.

With two fists, one on the left and one on the right, it seemed they were about to cripple Li Changqing.

Seeing that his opponent was about to succeed, Li Changqing did not retreat, but instead took a step forward.

Before Niu Dashan's fist could even get close, Li Changqing struck out with his palm.

"boom!"

The powerful Niu Dashan was sent flying backwards completely out of control.
