Chapter 145 Sparring
The atmosphere inside the Cangzhou Prefectural Governor's Mansion was solemn and tense.
Su Ye sat upright in the main seat, his eyes sharp as he surveyed the civil and military officials below, including Xun Yu, Chen Qun, and Li Shanchang.
Their expressions were solemn as they awaited the arrival of an important guest—Amur, the envoy of the Longyao tribe.
For Su Ye, today's meeting was not just a simple trade negotiation, but also an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the strength and future direction of the Longyao tribe.
As far as he knew, if he wasn't mistaken, this Amur, who had already begun to distinguish himself in the Longyao tribe, was the future First War God of the Grasslands, who would be hailed as the Lord of Heavenly Tribulation.
Moreover, his bravery and wisdom were extraordinary, which aroused Su Ye's great interest.
With a series of heavy footsteps, Amur entered the hall, surrounded by several Longyao warriors.
He was tall and strong, with broad shoulders and a head of long black hair that fluttered in the wind, exuding the boldness and domineering spirit of a grassland warrior.
His arrival immediately made the atmosphere in the hall even more somber.
Su Ye smiled slightly, stood up to greet him, cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency has come from afar. I apologize for not welcoming you properly."
Amur returned the greeting and said in broken Chinese, "Your Highness is too kind."
"We have come here today hoping to establish trade relations with Cangzhou and seek common development."
Su Ye nodded, gesturing for Amur to take a seat.
Xun Yu and the others also stood up and bowed to Amur in greeting.
Although they were all civil officials, they lived on the Tianwu Continent, a land known for its war gods and celestial beings.
Their respect and awe for martial artists are also heartfelt.
Amur nodded slightly in return, then his sharp gaze swept over everyone present.
When his gaze fell on Wang Xiangyang, he couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.
He sensed the powerful aura and fighting spirit emanating from Wang Xiangyang, as if he were a tiger poised to pounce.
Su Ye keenly noticed Amur's change and a thought struck him.
He paused deliberately, then said, "Warrior Amur, I have a War God named Wang Xiangyang under my command, who is also a rare martial arts master."
"Would your esteemed envoy be interested in sparring with him and exchanging martial arts skills?"
Amur was taken aback by what he heard, then a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
He had long heard his master say that the Central Plains was a land of outstanding people and abundant resources, but he never expected that he would encounter a top expert who was no less than himself.
But my master said that even if my strength has not yet reached its peak, I am already considered one of the world's top masters.
Could it be that Master is lying to me?
Looking at Wang Xiangyang, who was about the same age as him.
And the aura emanating from him that subtly overwhelmed him.
Amur was starting to have doubts about life.
But being able to compete with such a master is a rare opportunity for him.
So, although he was a little confused, he still nodded and said, "Alright! I've been wanting to see the ultimate martial arts techniques of the Central Plains."
Seeing this, Su Ye was delighted and immediately ordered the preparation of the sparring ground and weapons.
Previously, when Amur received the inheritance and awakened the divine skill ahead of schedule, the system had already checked his attributes once.
He has not yet reached his peak, but his current basic combat strength is 108, in addition to his identity as a Heavenly General.
Generally speaking, as long as he doesn't encounter those old monsters in the Central Plains, he'll be fine.
They really can walk sideways.
Unfortunately, it wasn't a coincidence.
They plunged headlong into Cangzhou.
Among the younger generation of Tianwu Continent today.
There are very few people in the world who can consistently outperform Amur.
And Cangzhou happens to have two.
Like Amur, the professional novel website Cola Novels provides the most comfortable reading experience. Wang Xiangyang, whose peak was a base martial arts strength of 110, has now reached a base martial arts strength of 109.
In addition, he was recently promoted to Heavenly General, right after Amur.
It can be said that Amur had one of the few opportunities among his peers in the Central Plains that he might have failed.
He actually managed to find it.
Moreover, this was his first battle after entering the Central Plains.
Su Ye's expression was somewhat strange.
Xun Yu, Chen Qun, Li Shanchang, and the others exchanged smiles.
They knew that Su Ye's actions were not only to demonstrate his strength, but also to probe Amur's background.
Soon, the venue for the competition was ready.
Wang Xiangyang, clad in imperial armor, stood facing Amur, the future first war god of the grasslands and the master of heavenly tribulation. Their gazes clashed fiercely in the air like two bolts of lightning.
Wang Xiangyang's imperial armor shone brilliantly in the sunlight, making him appear like a celestial being descending to earth.
The Emperor's Halberd in his hand exuded a chilling aura, its tip gleaming with a cold light, as if it could pierce through any obstacle.
At this moment, Wang Xiangyang stood in the center of the arena, like a majestic mountain, unmoving, exuding a powerful aura.
On the other side, Amur was shirtless, his muscles clearly defined, exuding explosive power.
He held the Heavenly Tribulation Spear in one hand and the Heavenly Punishment Staff in the other; the two completely different weapons appeared so harmonious and unified in his hands.
The Heavenly Tribulation Spear was incomparably sharp, gleaming with a cold light, as if it could tear the heavens and earth apart; while the Heavenly Punishment Staff emitted a faint light, exuding a mysterious and unpredictable power.
Amur's gaze was sharp as an eagle's, fixed on Wang Xiangyang, searching for his opponent's weakness.
Su Ye and everyone below the stage held their breath, watching the two on the stage intently.
Both Wang Xiangyang and Amur are among the world's most outstanding masters, making this a formidable battle.
It's not something you can easily see outside of the battlefield.
Wang Xiangyang launched the first attack. With a powerful push of his feet, he charged towards Amur like a cannonball, his Emperor's Halberd piercing his opponent with overwhelming force.
"Ding! Wang Xiangyang's skill Saintly Venerable has been activated!"
Saintly Venerable: The Bright Universe, the Venerable of the Bright Realm, surpassing the Heavenly Dao, the strongest armor, the Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth, the Five Elements of Primordial Chaos. This skill is an advanced result of the fusion of Qiankun and the Five Elements, and is the exclusive divine skill of Emperor Wang Xiangyang.
Effect 1: The pressure of Heaven's Way, all things are under the Heaven's Way. When fighting one-on-one, the Mingzun skill's martial power amplification effect will suppress the opponent's martial power by 1 point each time it is activated. When fighting in a group, the suppression effect can be halved to suppress all opponents.
Effect 2: Aurora of Heaven and Earth. After using Aurora of Heaven and Earth, you can instantly reflect all negative effects of martial arts that are immune to all magic back to the opponent (the reflection effect will not be effective after this attack. In group battles, it can be reflected back to all opponents. If an opponent is seriously injured by this move, one of their skills will be randomly sealed and will be unsealed after half a month).
Effect 3: The power of the Mingzun is unparalleled throughout the ages. After this effect is activated, it will give the user a 5-point increase in martial power (this effect will activate once every five rounds, and can be activated four times. Each time this effect is activated, it will suppress the opponent's martial power by 1 point).
Effect 4: Light and Shadow Inheritance, Imperial Blessing. The Emperor can bestow blessings upon newborn children. The Emperor sacrifices his base combat power by 1 for three months, after which it recovers. This greatly enhances the blessed child's talent (and there is a high probability that the child will awaken armor-type skills in the future, regardless of conditions. The blessing can be performed once every five years, and can only be activated after reaching the peak).
Effect 5: Emperor of Light War Dragon, Emperor Demon Annihilation Slash. When using the ultimate move Emperor Demon Annihilation Slash, one's own attack power increases by 20-32 points for a moment while charging, and the opponent's weapon and warhorse attack power bonus is sealed at the moment of activation (annihilation slash can be used on multiple opponents at the same time. When this effect is activated, all of one's own suppression effects can be forcibly activated. This effect cannot be activated at the same time as other attack power amplification effects. This effect increases with strength. After activating this effect, one's own stamina decreases slightly).
Wang Xiangyang's current base martial strength is 109, his weapon is the Emperor's Halberd (+1), his Saintly Venerable effect is +5, and he has suppressed Amur's martial strength by 1 point, bringing his current martial strength to 115!
