Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog-Chapter 465 - 303: Power Surge

"Military Formation Divine Skill"

Opening statement:

Military formations have no fixed stance, water has no fixed form, those who can adapt to enemy changes and claim victory are said to possess divinity.

...

Chen Ku’s mind was reading the divine skill memory bestowed upon him from the transformations of the Champion Marquis. As this imprint itself had the ’Minor Achievement’ level of divine skill experience, it was also conferred, making comprehension very easy for him.

After half a cup of tea’s time.

"Military formations are divine skills that transform qi into soldiers and nurture people with momentum... The cultivation conditions are quite harsh indeed."

After retracting his focus, Chen Ku sat cross-legged on the ground, rubbing the tips of his fingers, pondering:

"According to the cultivation conditions of this divine skill, the first part, transforming qi into soldiers, is a type of Imaginary Qi Martial Arts that can shape true qi into various forms, turning it into weapons; but the latter part, nurturing people with momentum, requires highly demanding cultivation environments."

What is called momentum, is both an aura and a trend.

The era’s sweeping changes constitute a trend, as does the formation of an army of several million people advancing on the battlefield.

The cultivation condition for this divine skill’s latter half requires integrating oneself into the trend, cultivating by borrowing momentum, thus leading the trend. If cultivated to great achievement, every move could carry the trend to overwhelm and prevail with righteousness.

It’s a martial art that can cultivate ’Invincible Force’.

"It is also a martial art innately prepared for certain people of destiny, to unify the world, and sweep across the six directions."

Chen Ku pondered:

"From the Champion Marquis’s imprint at the Seventh Realm level only being at Minor Achievement, failing to involve cultivation of the trend, one can see that the reason the Marquis could later achieve the Thirteenth Realm at the age of twenty-three, advancing one realm per year, must have been because, after sixteen, he followed Ancestor Ji in pacifying the world, integrated into the great trend, even becoming the Champion Marquis, guiding the world trend, invincible in battles, cultivating with such a mental state, nurturing people with momentum to achieve such rapid cultivation success."

After a moment’s reflection.

He sighed.

"Indeed a divine skill, but currently not quite suitable for me."

This divine skill’s cultivation, requires a special worldly environment, ideally a chaotic realm, and a status capable of commanding tens of thousands of troops, only then can the trend be used for cultivation.

"Unless, the world falls into chaos..."

His thoughts flickered.

He looked towards Two Realms Mountain, at the hundreds of thousands of sect alliance troops, contemplating but ultimately refraining from involving himself in such a colossal battle, this would not be wise given his current strength.

Having grown accustomed to caution, he still prefers to wait until his strength is sufficient, opting for a no-damage overpowering approach, solving things with ease and no difficulty.

To recklessly fight and shed blood, breaking through in battle, placing life and death at the edge, such reckless conduct is too risky.

Especially when he has many choices.

"Although I can’t currently practice the latter part of nurturing people with momentum, the refining body true qi magic skill, yet... the first part of the ’Soldier Form’, I can still perform a bit."

At once, with a thought, he activated within him the Champion Marquis’s Four-nine Sword Formation’s forty-nine swords array’s energy, the operation was slightly lacking, yet sensed divine light gushing within, condensing a sword light before him.

Suddenly, transforming into a three-foot long sword.

Clink!

Chen Ku extended his finger, lightly flicking this divine sword shaped by the sword formation gang qi’s ’form’, causing a sound to reverberate akin to an ancient bell, then became solemn:

"This is the Champion Marquis’s utilization of the Military Formation’s magical skill, condensed into a World-Surpassing Martial Art level ’Sky-reaching Sword Gang’, just one sword gang energy, surprisingly equivalent to a sword weapon of divine weapon level!"

Truly, this divine skill "Military Formation" engenders a World-Surpassing Martial Art.

And, following the ideology within the Military Formation, once the soldier form gang qi accumulates sufficiently, it is transformable into any weapon form, yet the Champion Marquis chose to condense it into a sword weapon, otherwise, there should be other soldier forms.

"Go!"

Though Chen Ku is not adept in swordsmanship, under the transformation bestowed upon him by the Champion Marquis, he has intuitively mastered all operational magic skills related to this sword gang energy, reaching the Perfection Realm, just a flick...

Resound!

The three-foot longsword suspended in mid-air, suddenly raised its tip, cleaved towards the inner wall of Fire Beak Mountain’s lava stone wall! 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

A sword energy of over a hundred lengths instantly tore through, splitting open all flame qi within Fire Beak Mountain, as if dividing a sea of fire, then... directly cleaving onto that stone wall!

Leaving a massive trench, like it was torn open by the paw of a hundred-length giant beast, exposing the crimson pure gold-colored wall of the magma mountain body, ’dang’ against it, surprisingly unscathed, as if striking a golden bell.

"That must be the Fourteen Realms Magical Treasure Fire Beak Pot’s body, wrapped within the mountain, truly deserving of the Fourteen Realms Magical Treasure. Under one slash of Sky-reaching Sword Gang, I feel ordinary Seventh Realm masters would fall instantly to my strike, yet only the mountain wall rock was cleaved, incapable of harming the magical treasure body in the slightest."

Chen Ku internally praised.

After all, it is the material of a Fourteen Realms Magical Treasure, even lacking an artifact spirit, the material remains unchanged, no one knows what level of metal it is.

"I wonder if using the Immortal Blade, deploying Champion Marquis’s move ’Territory Expansion’ for a slash..."

He finally shook his head.

The Fire Beak Pot currently only has a flame bud at the Ninth Realm, better not to attempt rashly, they are all his treasures, something bumps or breaks and it would break his heart terribly.
