Chapter 242: 141, 142. Invitation, Farming, Battlefield, Rescue (Large Chapter - Seeking Subscriptions)_4

This increase in speed was simply like a dream.

In the past, only the elders of the major sects in the Prefectural City possessed Qi Realm power, but now... these martial artists who had been just half a step into the Form Realm had all reached it.

However, this did not mean that the entire world was like this.

It’s not to say that "suddenly, the Qi Realm was as common as dogs."

This was merely a testament to the Yingui Association’s power becoming terrifying.

...

In the span of three months, the Yingui Association had forcibly created three hundred Qi Realm Medicinal Humans, and together with the original number of Medicinal Humans, there were four hundred and three in total.

However, this rate of creation was not uniform.

At first, there were more people than medicine, so as soon as the medicine was available, they could immediately convert people.

But after three hundred, a certain limit had been reached... the production speed thereafter would be very, very slow.

Nonetheless, this was already quite terrifying.

One should know that among the forces of the outer Prefectural and State Cities, it was still the case that "only elders were at the Qi Realm."

What was more terrifying was that Song Cheng began to gather these Qi Realm Medicinal Humans together for troop training.

He pulled together all four hundred and three Medicinal Humans.

In fact, the Medicinal Humans had no potential for troop training.

Even though Song Cheng had previously forcefully integrated some Medicinal Humans into the Tiger Leopard Cavalry, those were still primarily normal soldiers.

But now, Song Cheng wanted to train an army of purely Medicinal Humans.

Such a thing, for others, would be absolutely impossible, but Song Cheng could do it by simply shifting positions and trying various experiments to see the data.

If military momentum was generated, it proved he was doing the right thing.

Otherwise, he would start over.

...

...

Miss An and Su Ningyu both knew that Song Cheng was good at training troops, so they came to watch Song Cheng train.

Ling, Ying, and even some of the Ruyi Commerce Chamber’s old-timers, like Mr. Wang, Wang Tianchuan, and the two Wang brothers, Wang Tianma, along with the tested Gao Lin, and even the former Ding Kui, all watched their son-in-law train the troops.

Apart from these people, there were also two "Beast Tamers" from White Camel Estate, fiercely loyal to Ouyang Chuchu, who came to observe.

However, Song Cheng’s operations appeared as arcane as a celestial scripture to everyone.

Untraceable, inimitable.

Every action was illogical yet filled with profound meaning.

It wasn’t any Dharma Method at all, but a horrifying self-awareness...

The number of people who came to learn gradually decreased, even Su Ningyu and Miss An no longer came.

But in the end, three people remained.

One was Wang Tianchuan, one was a Beast Tamer from White Camel Estate known as Ke Bucun, and the other... was Ying.

All three of them had just stepped into the Form Realm, but had chosen not to take the medicine.

At this time, seeing that the three were actually able to learn from his troop training, Song Cheng was not stingy with his teaching and instructed them in the art of warfare.

Of course, there was still a difference in closeness.

Song Cheng taught Ying the most, with the most detail, even mixing her into the Medicinal Human army during his training.

Next was Wang Tianchuan.

Then came Ke Bucun.

Gradually, Ke Bucun’s favorability rating also reached 95, and so... Song Cheng taught him a bit more.

This "farming feel" gave Song Cheng a sense of ease.

Within the Medicinal Human army, he even began to attempt constructing "formations consisting of over ten or even just a few people," which was harder than assembling a Medicinal Human army.

But if successful, the reward would also be enormous, as it implied that, outside the battlefield, Yingui Association’s Medicinal Humans would be invincible in the Martial Arts World.

...

...

One day, as Song Cheng was training the Medicinal Humans on the training ground, suddenly Su Ningyu landed beside him, saying urgently, "My sister is looking for you."

Song Cheng was stunned for a moment, then said, "Alright."

Actually, even if Su Mengzhen didn’t come looking for him, he would have gone to look for her in a few days.

These days, as he was training the troops, he was also getting accustomed to the combination of the "Human Skin Ghost" and the "Great Dark Heaven."

He had basically confirmed that his "Great Dark Heaven," no matter how many ghosts blessed it, was still equivalent to a "Single Ghost."

The reappearances were still the same, but just like with martial styles, the more ghosts that blessed him, the more terrifying his reappearing strikes became.

If the flower of the Human Skin Ghost was a beautiful but evil blossom, then he was drawing closer to a perfect Flower of Evil.

However, a blossom after all, is only a blossom.

Mixed with the Human Skin Ghost, it was still a combination of Twin Ghosts.

Therefore, he could arrange a "tribulation" for Su Mengzhen.

But he hadn’t yet figured out how to explain this to his elder sister-in-law.

As the thought crossed his mind, Song Cheng glanced at Ying, Wang Tianchuan, and Ke Bucun, and said, "Try practicing with the troops, I have some business."

Ying and Wang Tianchuan responded in unison, "Yes, son-in-law."

Ke Bucun said, "Yes, Sir."

Following Su Ningyu, Song Cheng hastily left the scene.

A moment later, Su Mengzhen made her appearance by possessing a maid of the An Residence and then pulled the two into the Yin Residence of the Su family. Only then did she look at Song Cheng and quickly said, "Song, I need your help with something."

Song Cheng replied, "Sister Su, what is it?"

Su Mengzhen narrated the affairs of Yan Banruo and Yan Baixiang, explaining the cause and consequence, then said, "Over three months ago, Yan Baixiang found himself in grave danger, and I saved him once... but now, they are seeking help again, and the situation seems to be very serious. There are Noble Family Children from the Six Towns as well, I fear I’m no match by myself. Yan Baixiang, after all, is my son, and I want to go save him."

This was the first time Song Cheng heard about his elder sister-in-law’s relationship with them.

And the reason Su Mengzhen invited him was presumably because she valued his ability to manifest for long periods.

He hesitated for a moment.

But quickly he said, "Okay."

The thought of traversing between Divine Soul and Form Realm was enticing, and it would be good to observe the battlegrounds of the Six Towns.

Moreover, with the surname Yan belonging to the Imperial Family, having such a direct connection was also an opportunity for him to understand the Saint Heavenly Buddha.

As for the enemy who had dared send people to his estate uninvited, he had never planned to let them off the hook.

If it weren’t for Sister An’s caution or his timely return, the outcome would have been unimaginable.

However... he did not want to go directly like this.

Therefore, Song Cheng said, "Sister Su, I’ll go, but you have to agree to two conditions."

Su Mengzhen lifted her chin, looked at him, and asked, "What conditions?"

Song Cheng replied, "First, you must not reveal my identity; second, you go ahead and have your brother-in-law prepare a large-sized Full Body Helmeted Armor for my manifestation."

Su Mengzhen frowned slightly and said, "Song, he is not your brother-in-law, don’t call him that."

Song Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "Okay."

He was dealing with Su Mengzhen, not anyone else, and since Su Mengzhen did not acknowledge it, he had no need to insist.

Immediately after, he asked, "How shall I go there?"

Su Mengzhen explained, "After I leave, I will draw your portrait and hastily choose some of your deeds to embellish before speaking to those who offer their prayers. Most of the time, such prayers are ineffective, but you will still have a very faint sense of them... once you feel it, that will be your cue to come."

From the side, Yu said, "My sister is an exceptional painter, you know. Back in the Imperial Capital, she was dubbed the foremost female artist."

Song Cheng blinked and suddenly asked, "Does that mean she is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting?"

Yu replied, "Of course."

Song Cheng then said, "Sister Su, then you have to agree to another condition."

Without waiting for an inquiry, Song Cheng directly said, "After this matter is over, I will give you a surprise, but you... must agree to stay at An Residence for a few years to teach Ting, An, and Lingxue."

Su Mengzhen nodded, then said, "There is no time to delay, I must go now."

No sooner had her words fallen did her figure disappear from the Yin Residence.

With the owner of the Yin Residence gone, Yu was abruptly cast out of the room.

Song Cheng realized he was still within the room, so... he hurriedly followed suit and exited the Yin Residence.
