Late at night, Oliver Sheng returned to his quarters, finally having some free time to review his gains.
He had personally slain countless enemies, and his subordinates had killed an unknown number as well. His Kill Points had skyrocketed.

With 180,000 Kill Points, Oliver was so ecstatic he wanted to shout out loud to express his joy.
With so many Kill Points, if he used them all to enhance his cultivation, it would be more than enough to elevate him to the Martial Saint Realm, putting him at the very pinnacle of this world.
By then, what would the Kunlun Daoist Sect or the Sima Clan of Da Chu matter to him?
With so many Kill Points, Oliver couldn’t hold back any longer and immediately began allocating points to enhance his cultivation.
The feeling of his cultivation rising was wonderful and addictive, making it hard to stop.
He instantly consumed 21,000 Kill Points, and a vast amount of power surged into his body, rapidly enhancing his cultivation and strengthening his physique.
Above his head, a faint Dao Flower slowly appeared.
This Dao Flower, beautiful and intricate, gradually solidified. It represented the essence of Oliver’s physical body.
Essence, the pinnacle of physical strength and vitality.
As the Dao Flower solidified, Oliver’s cultivation smoothly broke through to the late Great Grandmaster stage.
With his current physique, he might not dare to claim he could rival a Martial Saint, but he could certainly match a half-step Martial Saint without any problem.
His blood energy was incredibly powerful and vigorous, akin to a primordial beast.
The immense power made Oliver feel as if he could shatter the void with a single punch, though he knew this was an illusion from just breaking through.
After feeling the power within him, Oliver decided not to continue enhancing his cultivation for now. He needed to first adapt to his current realm and strength.
His cultivation speed was already fast enough; he could afford to wait a few days before continuing. After all, Kill Points wouldn’t expire, and he could enhance his martial arts cultivation whenever he wanted.
Planning to temporarily pause his martial arts cultivation, Oliver consumed another 10,000 Kill Points to push his Daoist cultivation to the limit of the Nurture Spirit Realm.
Only then did Oliver feel satisfied. That night, he had consumed 31,000 Kill Points, leaving him with just over 150,000. He couldn’t help but lament how quickly Kill Points were spent.
He had fought so hard that his saber was smoking, yet spending Kill Points felt like water flowing away.
Despite consuming Kill Points to enhance his cultivation, Oliver did not give up on training. He continued to diligently cultivate, honing his blood energy, True Essence, and magical power.
He always remembered the saying: “Those more talented than you work even harder!”
In this world, some people were born to strive relentlessly.
Even though he had a Golden Finger, he would never be lazy or indulge in comfort.
…
After staying in Peace City for two days, Oliver taught the Mandarin Duck Formation to Elliott Sun, Declan Li, Edward Zhao, and other commanders.
Then he took Harrison Zhou, Colonel Lin, and Sawyer Shangguan, three Colonels at the Postnatal Realm at Great Perfection, and returned to River West County.
These three Colonels were acquired by Oliver in exchange for three fifth-tier Breakthrough Pills.
Leading his subordinates and bringing back fifty to sixty thousand warhorses, they returned to River West County in grand style. The veteran and Ian Zhang also followed them to River West County.
The veteran had to leave, and although Calvin Yang was reluctant, he couldn’t make him stay.
How could he retain a Great Grandmaster?
“General, you’re finally back.” As Oliver led his army back, Cameron Guo came to greet them outside the city.
These days, he had been leading the soldiers to guard River West County alone, constantly on edge, fearing an attack from the Barbarians or the Huns. If River West County fell under his watch, he would be guilty beyond redemption.
“Yes, arrange a banquet tonight. I want to welcome the soldiers and our new colleagues,” Oliver said.
“Yes, General. I’ll arrange it right away,” Cameron nodded and turned to make the arrangements.
“Let’s go to the barracks first,” Oliver said to the veteran and others.
River West County was now stable and prosperous, producing Western Wind Blaze and Green Ant Wine. The increased number of merchants made the city more bustling than ever.
Bringing the veteran, Harrison Zhou, Colonel Lin, and Sawyer Shangguan to the barracks.
“Everyone, get familiar with the environment. Tonight, I’ll host a banquet for you,” Oliver said.
“Thank you, General,” Harrison Zhou smiled.
He had volunteered to be transferred to Oliver’s command, hoping to progress faster under Oliver’s leadership.
“We’ll follow the General’s arrangements,” Colonel Lin and Sawyer Shangguan said obediently.
Colonel Lin and Sawyer Shangguan had listened to Wesley Hu, who said that Oliver would provide fifth-tier Breakthrough Pills for those at the Postnatal Realm at Great Perfection. That’s why they had signed up to serve under Oliver.
In the Peace Army, they would need to slowly accumulate military merit to exchange for a fifth-tier Breakthrough Pill from the imperial court. Breaking through on their own would also require a lot of time to hone their blood energy and True Essence.
Both were already in their thirties. If they didn’t break through to the Prenatal Realm within a few years, they might never have the chance.
Once a martial artist’s blood energy began to decline, breaking through would become even more difficult.
Seeing that Oliver’s subordinates were all at least Martial Disciples, the veteran felt gratified. This young man had achieved something significant.
Oliver’s subordinates mostly followed his orders alone, cultivated with a huge expenditure of gold and silver.
In the evening, the banquet began, and even Magistrate Chen came to join the feast.
“General Sheng, congratulations on your triumphant return,” Magistrate Chen had been all smiles recently.
Oliver had led his army into the grasslands and brought back many cattle, which were invaluable for plowing and could cultivate countless fertile fields.
He had been busy these days opening up land and planting crops. As the county magistrate, he naturally hoped for the county’s prosperity and a good harvest.
Moreover, with Oliver maintaining such a large army, he had to think about stockpiling more grain.
“Magistrate Chen, let me introduce you. This is my uncle, everyone calls him the Veteran,” Oliver said with a smile.
“Uncle, I toast to you. General Sheng’s uncle is my uncle too,” Magistrate Chen said with a smile.
The veteran nodded with a smile and clinked glasses with Magistrate Chen.
“This is Colonel Harrison Zhou, this is Colonel Lin, and this is Colonel Shangguan. They are all transferred from the Peace Army,” Oliver introduced.
“Greetings, Generals. I am Finn Chen, the Magistrate of River West County,” Magistrate Chen raised his glass.
“Magistrate Chen, you’re too kind!”
“Everyone, drink up and get to know each other,” Oliver said with a smile.
Tonight’s banquet featured Western Wind Blaze.
“This wine is truly delicious,” the veteran said, savoring the Western Wind Blaze.
“Uncle, you can drink as much of this wine as you want from now on,” Oliver laughed. The Western Wind Blaze, sold at sky-high prices outside, was plentiful here.
“Great, I’ll have a jar every day,” the veteran said happily.
Initially, he had thought to look after Oliver because he was young. Later, seeing Oliver’s remarkable martial talent, he had given him the Great Sun Heart Sutra to see if Oliver could achieve something with it.
Unexpectedly, Oliver had grown at a rocket’s pace to this point, making it the veteran’s greatest investment in life.
“Uncle, when did you drink this wine?” Ian Zhang asked, puzzled.
“Shut up and drink your wine, eat your meat,” the veteran glared at Ian.
“Oh!” Ian didn’t dare to retort and could only drink and eat in silence.
To be fair, the wine was indeed strong and delicious. Ian thought to himself that following Oliver had been a great fortune for Zane Wang.
Seeing this, Oliver knew that the Western Wind Blaze he had given Ian was probably taken by the veteran. He couldn’t help but want to laugh.
Ian, as straightforward as he was, had no suspicion at all.
Zane Wang, who was good at gathering intelligence, had also noticed something and looked at Ian with pity. Poor Ian!
The veteran glared at Oliver and Zane, and they both lowered their heads, deciding not to tell Ian.
“Colonel Lin, let’s see who can drink more,” Wesley Hu challenged Colonel Lin.
“Colonel Zhou, let’s have a drink,” Cameron Guo raised his glass to Harrison Zhou.
“Cheers!” Harrison Zhou raised his glass.
Felix Wu and Sawyer Shangguan were also drinking together. Among men, drinking was the best way to bond.
Initially, Harrison Zhou, Colonel Lin, and Sawyer Shangguan had felt a bit reserved and unfamiliar, but soon they were mingling with Wesley Hu, Felix Wu, and others.
Seeing his subordinates drinking, chatting, and bonding, Oliver felt a sense of pride.
These people would be his core team.
He would lead them to the pinnacle of this world!
