Global Game: My Divine Skills Reach Full Level Automatically

Chapter 61: Chapter 61: A Single Halberd Strike Sends Lei Gong’s Blade Flying

”Especially near Zhending City.”

Ding Ling specifically pointed out.

As for other places,

Ding Ling could only express his inability to help.

He was just a single fighter and at most could be considered a Defensive General of a county city.

He didn’t have the ability to handle the affairs of the entire Jizhou, let alone manage the Black Mountain bandits that roamed across Bingzhou and Jizhou territories.

The fact that he got them to come out for talks

was because Ding Ling had captured figures like Li Damu and Kushen, who could be said to be leaders within the Black Mountain Army.

If Zhang Feiyan didn’t take care of it, morale would surely fall apart, and it would be difficult for him to make unilateral decisions on Black Mountain’s big and small matters in the future.

Ding Ling saw through this point, so he dared to have Zhao Zhantang take several messengers directly to find Zhang Feiyan for negotiations.

Now that Zhang Feiyan was here, everything naturally needed to be laid out for discussion.

Zhang Feiyan saw Ding Ling’s directness and, without further ado, said:

”That’s not a problem, provided you release my men.”

He paused and added:

”Also, I’m very curious at what level your side’s combat power has reached. Why don’t we have some of our top fighters spar? This way, we know each other’s strength, making cooperation easier in the future. Don’t you agree?”

”Alright.”

Ding Ling agreed, raising the Heaven-piercing Halberd in his hand:

”Who among you will test the sharpness of my halberd first?”

Ding Ling knew Zhang Feiyan was extraordinary. Managing hundreds of thousands of Black Mountain bandits couldn’t possibly be done by someone straightforward.

He must have a mind full of twists and strategies.

But Ding Ling didn’t care about that.

Ever since he decided to walk the Path of the War God, he decided that everything would be bulldozed by strength!

If he couldn’t bulldoze his way, he would continue practicing martial arts until he could!

As long as he was strong enough,

all demonic creatures were just paper tigers!

As he grew stronger, Ding Ling’s understanding of this became deeper!

In the past, he thought of becoming an official to approach people like Cao Mengde.

But as his strength gradually grew, some of his thoughts were changing.

This made Ding Ling often marvel at how greatly one’s mindset could be altered by strength! Truly, each day was different from the last! Plans that were once firmly set could be revised or overturned as strength increased.

”I’ll give it a try.”

A man of impressive stature and imposing demeanor spurred his horse forward, raising his saber as he charged at Ding Ling:

”My name is Lei Gong! General Ding, watch the saber!”

Ding Ling smiled slightly, squeezed the horse’s belly, and rushed toward Lei Gong.

The two quickly closed in on each other.

Lei Gong shouted, his voice thunderous and soul-shaking, as he swung his saber down, accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, as if it could shatter heaven and earth.

Ding Ling was unafraid, the Heaven-piercing Halberd slightly trembled, and the Cloud Strike Saber Technique, like drifting clouds, clanged as it met Lei Gong’s saber, boom!

In a hard clash, Lei Gong’s wrist was wracked with pain. With a scream, he loosened his grip, and his saber flew from his hand, spinning through the air before embedding in the ground with a clanging sound.

Whoosh!

The Heaven-piercing Halberd rotated slightly and landed like lightning on Lei Gong’s neck.

Lei Gong’s expression froze, his scream halted, motionless, heart pounding like a drum, eyes wide as saucers, fear on his face magnified to the extreme at that moment.

”Thanks for letting me win.”

Ding Ling withdrew the Heaven-piercing Halberd.

Lei Gong glanced at Ding Ling in fear, unwillingly turned his horse, and returned to the ranks.

”...!!”

The entire field was silent.

But in the next moment,

Cry of ’mighty!’ erupted from Zhao Feng’s side.

It was Ding Ling’s side’s warriors cheering for him.

The Black Mountain Army, on the other hand, was like eggplants hit by frost, completely deflated!

Each one of them was pondering:

”General Lei Gong is a genuine second-class peak martial general, with strength comparable to a first-class general. Though his martial skills may be lacking, his voice captures the opponent off-guard, capable of psychological intimidation! In the past, General Lei Gong used this to kill countless formidable opponents.

Never did they expect that he couldn’t withstand even one round against Ding Ling, and his weapon was knocked away!

If Ding Ling hadn’t held back, he would have been dead by now!”

[Achievement Medal Unlocked: You have won the reverence of the Black Mountain Army leaders and its most elite troops!]

[Note: Your strength is beyond imagination! You have successfully intimidated everyone from the Black Mountain Army, including all the leaders on the elite side.]

Ding Ling heard the notification, raised his eyebrows slightly.

This was good news.

Defeating Li Damu didn’t even earn him half of an Achievement Medal.

Defeating Lei Gong yielded none either.

Instead, he earned one from the awe of all their people!

Ding Ling was surprised and puzzled.

He suspected there were rules about Achievement Medals he hadn’t fully grasped, and instructions wouldn’t detail everything, and many matters required his exploration for confirmation.

”Who else wants to try?”

Ding Ling smiled faintly and asked aloud.

”...!!”

The Black Mountain Army looked at each other, all leaders remained indifferent.

Zhang Feiyan awkwardly cleared his throat, saying:

”General Ding’s prowess is unmatched! Our side pales in comparison. However, I mentioned having military experts compete, and General Ding personally getting involved seems rather unfair.”

”Oh?”

Ding Ling nodded, stepped back, and signaled Zhao Yun to step up.

Since a duel was unlikely to earn more Achievement Medals,

it wasn’t necessary to push too hard.

Zhao Yun’s spirits lifted, and he spurred his horse forward, shook his spear, and in a clear voice announced:

”I am Zhao Zilong of Changshan, please do not hesitate to enlighten me.”

”I, Yhiuu Du, will meet you!”

A fierce general with a sinister face, long build, and wielding a spear, charged at Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun stood calm, waiting for Yhiuu Du to charge, then abruptly launched the Hundred Birds Phoenix Spear Technique, and a vision of the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix flashed across the void.

The next moment,

Zhao Yun’s spear was already withdrawn.

Looking again,

Yhiuu Du’s helmet had been knocked away, and his armor had several puncture holes.

”...!”

Yhiuu Du opened his mouth but said nothing before turning his horse and returning to the ranks.

His face burning with embarrassment, feeling thoroughly ashamed.

Having no courage to face Ding Ling was one thing, but not even able to win against one of Ding Ling’s deputies!

”What a swift spear!”

Zhang Feiyan was startled, seemingly recalling something:

”That’s the Hundred Birds Phoenix Spear Technique of the Spear God Tong Yuan from Penglai Mountain!”

”Indeed.”

Zhao Yun confirmed without hesitation, nodding.

”To think it’s the pupil of the Spear God, my apologies for any disrespect.”

Zhang Feiyan solemnly stated:

”In my early years, I also wished to apprentice under the Spear God, but unfortunately, fate kept us apart, and I missed the chance many times, lacking such fortune.”
