At the moment of breaking through the Postnatal Realm, a powerful force surged from within him, continuously strengthening his flesh, bones, and physique.
This was a primal force, originating from the deepest part of the human body.
His body seemed to have shattered some kind of limit, making this force immense and fierce.
Soft cracking sounds kept emanating from within him, as his bones were constantly being reinforced and forged by that power.
His skin and bones took on a faint golden hue, as if undergoing a transformation, with the powerful physical energy continuously strengthening his flesh and cells.
Every muscle and bone in his body was being baptized by this force, making them tougher and stronger.
The surging blood energy made many onlookers feel alarmed.
Many soldiers sensed the powerful aura and rolling blood energy emanating from Oliver Sheng’s tent.
The blood energy roaring within him was like a dragon’s roar.
The powerful blood energy was palpable even to those outside the tent.
“Is this blood energy like a dragon?” Hunter Tang and the others were extremely shocked.
“What powerful blood energy!”
At this moment, Oliver Sheng was like a blazing sun, making the soldiers outside the tent feel the scorching aura.
“No wonder some say Oliver is a prodigy. At this realm, he can cultivate his blood energy to such a degree.”
“Those so-called prodigies who appear once in a millennium are probably no match for Oliver.”
“Oliver must have successfully broken through. Such a young Postnatal Martial Artist…”
Many fell silent, especially Cameron Guo and Wesley Hu, who were both over thirty and still hadn’t broken through to the Postnatal Realm.
And now, Oliver Sheng had broken through before them. At less than twenty years old, he had already reached the Postnatal Realm, a talent that left them amazed.
Many felt both envious and happy for Oliver Sheng. The stronger Oliver became, the greater their chances of survival on the grasslands.
When the surge of power subsided, Oliver Sheng opened his eyes, a sharp golden light flashing in them.
The roaring blood energy within him also calmed down.
Looking at the golden Light Screen:
Name: Oliver Sheng
Race: Human
Realm: Early Postnatal
Cultivation Method: [Great Sun Heart Sutra (Beginner)] [Wild Bull Strength (Small Accomplishment)] (+) [Blood Fiend Saber Technique (Great Accomplishment)] [Overlord Spear Technique (Beginner)]
Strength: 15,000 pounds
Talent: Silver Archer (+)
Kill Points: 232
Upon breaking through, his strength reached 15,000 pounds, comparable to an Innate Martial Artist.
Of course, having strength comparable to an Innate Martial Artist didn’t mean his overall power was on par with one.
But now, even when facing a Postnatal Martial Artist at Great Perfection, he had no fear.
There was a vast difference between Postnatal and Innate Martial Artists, a gap that strength alone couldn’t bridge.
After breaking through to the Postnatal Realm, his power had greatly increased.
Though he couldn’t claim invincibility in the Postnatal Realm, it would be hard to find an opponent.
After his breakthrough, Oliver Sheng didn’t stop cultivating but continued to practice the Great Sun Heart Sutra, absorbing the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth, converting it into True Essence, and strengthening his blood energy and muscles.
Martial cultivation is about continuously honing the body, pushing it beyond its limits.
Seeing Oliver Sheng’s successful breakthrough, Cameron Guo and Wesley Hu also began preparing to take the Realm-Breaking Pill, aiming to break through to the Postnatal Realm in one go.
In the team, those who had the potential to break through and were given the Realm-Breaking Pills also started cultivating, taking the pills to prepare for their breakthrough and enhance their power.
Opportunities like this were rare, and obtaining so many pills was a stroke of luck for them.
That night, the strength of the Peace cavalry significantly improved.
…
Early the next morning, before dawn, soldiers had already prepared breakfast.
Cameron Guo and Wesley Hu walked out of their tents, joyful smiles on their faces, grinning wider than an AK.
As the saying goes, a joyful event makes one feel refreshed.
Indeed, after taking the Fourth Rank Realm-Breaking Pill, both had successfully broken through to the Postnatal Realm.
They greeted everyone they met with a smile.
“Hey, why are you two so happy? Did you have an erotic dream last night?” Oliver Sheng teased.
Cameron Guo: …
Wesley Hu: …
Did they seem like such unambitious people? They were over thirty and had frequented The House of Joy enough times; how could they still have such dreams?
“Good morning, Oliver,” Wesley Hu responded with a forced smile.
“Why the awkward smile? Did I hit the mark?” Oliver Sheng winked and raised an eyebrow.
Cameron Guo and Wesley Hu exchanged glances. Their leader’s personality was really hard to describe.
When killing enemies, he was like a god of death from hell.
Now, he seemed like an old friend from The House of Joy.
“Oliver, we broke through to the Postnatal Realm,” Cameron Guo said.
“Oh, what a coincidence, I broke through too. How about a spar?” Oliver Sheng’s mischievous side emerged, seeing their happy faces, he wanted to spoil it.
“Uh!”
The two shook their heads like rattles, not thinking that their breakthrough to the Postnatal Realm made them equal to Oliver Sheng.
They had enough self-awareness and no masochistic tendencies.
Seeing them shake their heads, refusing to spar, Oliver Sheng continued:
“You two can come at me together.”
“Uh~”
Cameron Guo and Wesley Hu still shook their heads. They were just less talented, not foolish.
Seeing their reluctance, Oliver Sheng felt a bit disappointed. Just after his breakthrough, his fists were itching for a fight, but he couldn’t find a suitable punching bag.
After preparing breakfast, they began eating.
Before the morning sun rose, Oliver Sheng and his team had finished breakfast and continued to roam deeper into the grasslands.
Today’s target was still the Huns’ supply and food transport troops.
Cutting off the Huns’ supplies would prevent them from besieging the city, buying time for Peace Pass.
In the morning, the Huns didn’t attack the city, indicating their lack of supplies.
Seeing no attack from the Huns, Calvin Yang and other Peace Pass garrison leaders understood that Oliver Sheng’s team had acted.
“It seems the strategy of cutting off supplies is effective,” an Assistant General said.
“It is effective, but it also puts Oliver Sheng’s team in danger,” General Edward Zhao said.
“Let’s hope they all return safely,” Elliott Sun said.
But this was clearly a wishful thought.
The Huns wouldn’t allow their supplies to be cut off and would surely send heavy troops to eliminate those cutting off their supplies.
Calvin Yang remained silent, feeling heavy-hearted. This was a mission where lives were exchanged for a breathing space for Peace Pass.
It was just a matter of sending another group to die.
…
“Report to the Left Wise King, our scouts have reported that the attackers on the supply troops are a cavalry unit of about a thousand, likely from the Peace Army,” the messenger reported early in the morning.
“Peace Army cavalry? A thousand men dare to provoke me? Such audacity.”
“Send three cavalry units to bring me those thousand heads,” the Left Wise King ordered in anger.
These days, his temper had been bad, and he had killed several of the slave girls he brought along.
“Yes, my king!”
Following the order, a Hun general immediately dispatched three cavalry units to eliminate those cutting off the supplies.
Each cavalry unit had two thousand men.
Oliver Sheng and his team were about to face six thousand Hun cavalry.
Unaware of this, Oliver Sheng and his team continued their mission.
“Oliver, it seems the supply troops have strengthened their defenses. It looks like the Huns have noticed us,” Cameron Guo said seriously.
“Being discovered was only a matter of time.”
They had destroyed over a dozen Hun supply troops in a day; it would be strange if the Huns hadn’t noticed.
Looking at the Hun supply transport troops ahead, numbering two thousand with five hundred cavalry guarding both sides, Oliver Sheng assessed the situation.
The regular infantry had also increased to five hundred, making a thousand regular troops in total.
The other thousand were armed herders.
“Should we let them pass?” Wesley Hu asked.
“Let them pass? Once the meat is at my mouth, there’s no letting go.”
“Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy, charge!” Oliver Sheng raised his spear and shouted, then charged forward on horseback.
“Hyah!”
“Charge!”
“Kill!”
A thousand cavalry charged, like a stampede of ten thousand horses, shaking the ground and raising clouds of dust, a magnificent sight.
