Berserk God of War

Chapter 762: Chapter 762: Terrifying Military Talent

However, Sikong Jing was no ordinary person; he was a genius Divine General on the battlefield, and in an instant, he concentrated the power of his Spiritual Platform Sea of Consciousness, beginning to calmly and bit by bit penetrate the Soldier Formation, observing from a small corner...

Even a tiny corner had dozens of different auras and dozens of different changes.

Unconsciously, Sikong Jing was no longer confused but instead took pleasure in it.

For him, the Invincible God General, it was like a brand new Military Dao world, as if he were savoring the delicious flavors of the mortal world.

”Alright, come out now, observing for too long could harm your intent right now,” said Su Old Demon, his voice snapping Sikong Jing out of the Soldier Killing Map just as he was about to be completely immersed.

At that moment, Sikong Jing regretfully returned to reality.

Su Old Demon, unaware that Sikong Jing had been so engrossed, pointed to the second Soldier Killing Map.

Without any hesitation, Sikong Jing plunged in again.

The next moment, almost the exact same scene unfolded before him.

The same Soldier Killing Array Diagram, the same intense combat, but the King’s Killing Aura wasn’t as dense as the first one.

After the same amount of time, Sikong Jing’s intent was again shaken out of the diagram by Su Old Demon.

This time, Su Old Demon asked in a low voice, ”Now tell me, which one is real and which one is fake?”

Sikong Jing nodded confidently and pointed to the first one, ”This one is real.”

Su Old Demon’s expression didn’t change, as if Sikong Jing’s answer was expected, he asked further, ”So if I were to give you one now, would you choose this real one?”

Sikong Ling, standing nearby, blinked her large eyes, thinking to herself, isn’t that obvious? Who would want a fake?

However, Sikong Jing shook his head and replied, ”No, I want the fake one.”

Sikong Ling’s body trembled slightly, her mouth agape as she gazed at her brother, wondering why he would want the fake one.

After a moment, enlightenment dawned on Sikong Ling as she figured it out, ”Indeed, you can’t take the real one, otherwise you’d be hunted down by all the strong ones in the Central Plains. There must be auras inside the Soldier Killing Map that powerful fighters can lock onto, right?”

To that, Su Old Demon smiled without answering, instead turning to Sikong Jing, ”That’s what you’re thinking, right?”

If you want the fake, it must be out of fear of being hunted down; what good is a treasure if you’re dead?

But again contrary to Su Old Demon and Sikong Ling’s expectations, Sikong Jing still shook his head to deny it.

”No, I just think the fake Soldier Killing Map is more powerful,” he said.

”Although the aura it contains is not as strong, nor does it carry the oppressive might of a King like the original, that’s only because the person who devised the map was injured or their Martial Arts Realm wasn’t as high as the original creator’s, but the Soldier Formation within it is stronger.”

”In the art of war, the Soldier Formation and the Map should be of utmost importance... everything else is secondary.”

The strength of the martial artist who carves the map and the quality of the paper can affect aspects such as the Battle Intent within the Soldier Killing Map, but the map is still just a map and is not very useful.

What truly matters is the Soldier Formation within!

Just like a Universe Grade Cultivation Technique engraved on a Green Jade Stone Plate, and the lowest level Yellow Grade Technique is on a Green Jade Tube.

The Green Jade Stone Plate is a dime a dozen... so just because it’s prevalent, would you choose the Yellow Grade Technique within the Green Jade Tube?

Only a fool would make that choice.

A glint flashed in Su Old Demon’s eyes as he asked, ”Why do you think the fake Soldier Killing Array is stronger? What’s your basis?”

Sikong Jing thought for a moment and replied, ”I’m still not familiar with the terminology of the Soldier Killing Maps, so I’ll use what I just observed as an example.”

With that, Sikong Jing’s True Qi burst out from his body, rolling forth.

Afterward, he began to simulate with his True Qi the Soldier Formations he had just seen in the two identical corners before Sikong Jing and the others, as one after another, the True Qi constructed Soldier Formations continuously took shape...

Because Sikong Jing’s body possessed meridians from various demon beasts, he had astonishingly simulated the auras of dozens of soldiers.

His control over True Qi made Su Old Demon’s eyes widen in astonishment.

Gradually, Su Old Demon went from initial surprise, to growing shock, and finally to eyes nearly splitting with disbelief. When Sikong Jing completely simulated the two corners of the Soldier Killing Array, he let out a low: ”Battle...”

With a wave of his hand, the sentence fell.

In an instant, the two streams of True Qi that made up the Soldier Killing Arrays forcefully collided with one another.

Dozens of soldier’s True Qi fully evolved and fought one another... After a full quarter of an hour, the Soldier Formation of the second fake diagram completely obliterated the Soldier Formation from the first real diagram, eventually all turning to dust and vanishing from sight.

”Phew...”

He let out a light breath, his face slightly pale from the massive True Qi consumption, but he still expressed satisfaction with the recent results, ”Grandpa Su, I’ve studied the diagrams for too short a time to achieve only this much, please guide me.”

Su Old Demon’s mouth hung open wide, his unkempt beard already twitching crazily without him realizing it.

One thought dominated his mind: What the hell am I supposed to teach you?

”Gulp...”

After swallowing his saliva, Su Old Demon finally asked, ”Ajing, have you come into contact with any Soldier Killing Arrays before?”

He was too shaken, struggling to imagine that Sikong Jing had no prior exposure to these things.

However, Sikong Jing shook his head seriously: ”No, this is the first time I’ve learned that such things as Soldier Killing Maps exist in this world. But I have led troops in the Canglong Small Domain and the East Plain Northern Land, so I have some experience.”

Presently, he hadn’t even clarified the basics of treasures and Cultivation Technique levels in the Central Plains, let alone encountered such items.

But indeed, his ability to accomplish what he just had was greatly related to his experience leading troops.

”Not encountered before, you really haven’t encountered before...”

”Hahaha, fantastic, it is really fantastic that you haven’t encountered them.”

Suddenly, Su Old Demon burst out into insane laughter, and only after a while did he speak again, ”This has little to do with whether you have led troops. This is about talent and instinct for understanding Soldier Killing Arrays.”

At this point, Su Old Demon’s face suddenly turned serious.

”Ajing, I don’t have much to teach you,”

”Soldier Killing Maps and Soldier Killing Arrays vary from person to person. Although I could now enhance your understanding of Soldier Killing Maps, it’s also possible that by following my thoughts, you would be restricted by my way of thinking,”

”Therefore, with the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map, you must comprehend it on your own and master what belongs to you,”

With that, he slowly pointed at the second fake Soldier Killing Map, handing it to Sikong Jing.

”Grandpa Su, are you really giving this to me?”

Sikong Jing’s eyes flashed with insight at the sight, even though he knew Su Old Demon was giving it to him, he still asked hesitantly.

”Of course, you’re my son-in-law, and you possess an exceptional Military Talent. Who else would I give it to if not you?”

Su Old Demon spoke with utmost seriousness: ”And this fake Soldier Formation Map is actually carved by me, when I was trapped in that terrifying demon beast realm, based on the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map’s original, plus my own understanding.”

Sikong Jing was not surprised by Su Old Demon’s words.

The first Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map was left by the Qianyuan War Emperor.

The second map was constructed by Su Old Demon himself in adversity, infusing his own interpretation. While suffering from Beast Poison, the Daoist Intent of Military Dao he added couldn’t be as powerful as the first genuine map.

Yet in terms of the arrangement of the Soldier Formation, he had already surpassed the Qianyuan War Emperor.
