In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

"Truly a fine horse, a fine horse!" Xiang Yu's voice was filled with excitement. "I will definitely tame you! Make you my mount!"

As if understanding Xiang Yu's words, Wuzhui snorted disdainfully.

The man and the horse kept running, twisting, and jumping.

This is destined to be a protracted tug-of-war.

......

Two days have passed.

"Big brother hasn't come back yet..." Zijuan squatted on the side of the training ground, resting listlessly.

"They're probably still training the horses!" Xiang An chuckled, brandishing a huge weapon. "Those wild horses will take some time to tame completely! Let's just wait at home for our brother's good news!"

"Hmm! But second brother... haven't you had enough fun yet? If you use this weapon, no one else can get in." Zijuan first clenched her fist with confidence, then looked at Xiang An speechlessly.

Xiang An's weapon was a large halberd, three zhang long, which he wielded with great sweeping movements, creating a whooshing sound.

"Xiao Juan, just wait a moment! Hehe!" Xiang An twirled the large halberd, a smile playing on his lips, his eyes slightly narrowed.

call--

The large halberd was bent from the rapid swinging. Xiang An controlled the halberd, and with tremendous force, he slashed it down hard at the row of wooden stakes.

Zheng—

With a swift slash, the heads of more than a dozen wooden stakes were all chopped off by Xiang An's large halberd, as if those fine heads were flying into the air.

Xiang An shook the large halberd to release the force, and stood the three-zhang-long halberd upright beside him, looking at it with satisfaction.

"Indeed, this is the most suitable weapon for me!" Xiang An laughed heartily, stomping on a wooden stake that had rolled to his feet and smashing it into pieces.

Having learned about version 2.6.5, I'm feeling a bit numb...

------------

I'm taking a day off (please subscribe).

After version 2.6.5 was released, everyone knows what happened.

After summarizing the plot so far and my speculations about what will happen next, I'm completely numb... utterly numb...

We've been brainstorming all day, including discussions about Old Sherlock and Olaf, as well as the power struggles and objectives of Chaldea and the alien forces...

In short, I'm just a little bit away from going crazy.

This is so hard, I want to die (orz).

I'll take a day off. I need to calm myself down and figure out how to expose the official backstabbing. I also need to reorganize the plot outline. I'll continue to work hard on my writing. Thank you all for reading my book.

(sigh)

Chapter 817 Xiang Yu Tames the Black Steed

Xiang Yu was still fighting fiercely with his horse, Wuzhui, and now the two of them had galloped into a dense forest.

Xiang Yu's legs were locked tight with all his might, while his hands were gripping a huge ancient tree. The man and his horse were locked in a struggle.

Both Wuzhui and Xiang Yu were nearing exhaustion, but Xiang Yu clearly had more remaining strength.

The black horse roared and kicked the ground with its four hooves, trying to break free from Xiang Yu's restraints and regain its freedom. Xiang Yu, on the other hand, had the strength to keep the ancient tree and the black horse in check, exhausting the black horse's strength.

Although Xiang Yu was almost exhausted, he knew in his heart that Wuzhui would soon be his!

If you can hold on for just a little while and exhaust the black horse's strength, it will acknowledge you and consider you its master!

Xiang Yu's lips curled into a slight smile, revealing his white teeth and a hint of ferocity that sent a chill down the spine of his black horse, Wuzhui.

Startled, the black horse strained even harder, but—

They still couldn't escape Xiang Yu's control.

Wuzhui knelt down on the ground, white foam appearing from its mouth and nose.

Xiang Yu was slightly surprised, but he understood, and he released his feet.

thump--

The moment Xiang Yu released the restraints, Wuzhui's heavy body collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

Xiang Yu stood in front of the nearly unconscious black horse, Wuzhui, and smiled.

"Now, do you submit?" Squatting down, Xiang Yu gently stroked the head of his steed, Wuzhui, a tired but confident smile on his face.

Wuzhui did not react, but at least it did not turn its head to bite Xiang Yu's hand.

This already speaks volumes.

Xiang Yu shook his head and smiled, then stood up and walked away into the distance.

The black horse lay on the ground, quietly recovering its strength, without moving.

After a while, Xiang Yu returned, having found a lot of fresh and juicy fodder from somewhere, and placed it in front of Wuzhui.

Wuzhui looked at the fodder, then at Xiang Yu, shifted its body, and got up.

Xiang Yu stretched out a hand, and Wuzhui hesitated for a moment before pressing its head against it.

At this moment, the man and the horse were bound together by fate.

After finishing the fodder, Wuzhui lowered its head and nuzzled its head towards Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu couldn't help but chuckle, stroked the side of Wuzhui's face, and then mounted the horse.

Xiang Yu rode his black steed, which kicked up clouds, and galloped away once more.

......

Xiang Bo was finally able to get out of bed.

Xiang Liang, however, lay back down.

"Second Brother, why hasn't Xiang Yu returned yet? Has that steed run away?" Xiang Bo leaned against the stool next to him, his face pale and his eyes revealing utter despair.

My steed, woof woof woof, my steed...

"Third brother, can you shut up?" Xiang Liang had two broken ribs and needed to rest, but he was currently looking very annoyed. "You've been chattering in my ear all day long, can't you just be quiet for a while?"

"But, but, second brother... horse..." Xiang Bo looked like he was about to cry.

"Stop talking nonsense! Have you run out of steam? I already told you to trust that kid Xiang Yu, is that not enough? This constant buzzing is so annoying." Xiang Liang glared and raised his hand to hit him, but Xiang Bo quickly dodged.

The two brothers remained silent for a while, and finally Xiang Bo sighed deeply.

"The chaos of this era is over, and our military strength has diminished considerably. Otherwise, how could I not even be able to tame a single horse..."

"...You think that when chaos erupts, only you will become strong, while the horse will remain the same?" Xiang Liang glanced at Xiang Bo with disdain. "The horse's fate has long been tied to that of man. If man becomes strong, the horse will become even stronger, and it will still be able to cripple your leg!"

"Second brother, you can do that too...?"

"You can't talk, what are you talking about? If you can't speak, then don't speak!"

"I......"

"Second Uncle!" Before Uncle Xiang could continue complaining, Xiang An suddenly burst in, excitedly shoving open Xiang Liang's door.

"Xiang An?" Xiang Liang was a little confused. "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Ah, Uncle San is here too..." Xiang An's expression froze for a moment, he bowed respectfully, and then said excitedly, "My brother is back! He rode back on that swift horse!"

"What!?" Xiang Bo suddenly stood up, but then fell down again because of the broken leg. Xiang An quickly ran over and helped him up.

"I told you, just trust that kid Xiang Yu." Xiang Liang looked unsurprised, turned over, and said, "If you have nothing else to say, get out of here and let me have some peace and quiet."

"Quickly, Xiang An, take me to see this!" Xiang Bo was excited, as if he were the one riding a thoroughbred horse.

"Let's go!"

The uncle and nephew disappeared in an instant, leaving the door unclosed.

"Oh no! Ugh! Ugh!" Xiang Liang cried out in despair as he lay on the bed, unable to get out of bed.

......

Xiang Yu looked rather pale, and his horse, Wuzhui, was also somewhat weak, but at least it made it back.

"This is the thoroughbred? It's so handsome..." Xiang Jing's single eye sparkled as he circled around the black horse.

It must be said that even though the black horse was somewhat weak, its appearance was still extraordinary. Its pure black fur was without a single blemish, glossy and black, while its four hooves were as white as clouds in the sky. It truly lived up to its name, the Black Horse that kicks the clouds.

Black Steed snorted, finding the two children a bit annoying.

"Relax, relax, they are my younger brothers and sisters," Xiang Yu said with a smile, patting the neck of his steed, Wuzhui.

"A thousand-mile horse—a thousand-mile horse..." Xiang Bo, leaning on his cane, was clearly limping, but he was incredibly fast, walking as fast as the wind. Xiang An couldn't even hold him back as he headed towards the door.

From a distance, you could see Xiang Jing and Zi Juan surrounding the black horse, and Xiang Yu was stroking its neck with obvious affection.

For some reason, Xiang Bo felt a pang of pain in his heart at that moment.

Why did it turn out like this...? For the first time, I had a favorite steed, for the first time I saw such a beautiful horse... This wonderful experience should have brought me even more joy... I should have been enjoying this dreamlike happiness... But why did it turn out like this...?

"Ah, Third Uncle." Xiang Yu noticed Xiang Bo standing there and politely came over to greet him.

"Xiang Yu, you...you've tamed this black steed?" Xiang Bo asked, pointing at the black steed with an extremely strange expression.

When Xiang Bo pointed at Wuzhui, it turned its head away disdainfully.

This is the person who bought it. It's so weak, yet it thinks it can tame me? Dream on.

"Yes, Wuzhui has accepted me. Nephew thanks Uncle for the gift." Xiang Yu knew what he should do now, so he bowed to Xiang Bo with a grateful expression on his face.

"So, Uncle, don't be sad if you can't ride it." Xiang An walked over from behind. "Just relax."

Xiang Bo rolled his eyes and was about to faint again.
