Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1678: Chapter 1614: Zhuge Liang’s Smile

”That’s how it is, at least there’s no sign of an upper limit for now,” Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, ”So when I discovered this situation, I was so surprised. In the past, although I encountered talents that couldn’t be used, I could at least discover them.”

”This is likely due to my talent. My talent is to mirror and replicate the legion talents I see, reflecting their state as I perceive them. Essentially, my legion talent represents the state when all talents have not awakened,” Wei Yan thought for a moment and said.

Wei Yan may look impulsive, but he’s not foolish at all. On the contrary, he is quite intelligent. Being questioned so openly by Zhuge Liang means there has to be an explanation, otherwise, it becomes a thorn—a potentially fatal one.

”Mirror?” Zhuge Liang was slightly taken aback. He had considered many possibilities, but never imagined that Wei Yan’s spiritual talent would be such a bizarre type of talent.

”Yes, mirror. The legion talents I see on the battlefield are usable to me. Whether it belongs to our side, allies, or even enemy legions, as long as it’s within my line of sight, I can use it,” Wei Yan explained directly after a moment of silence.

If Xu Shu felt pressured before, now Zang Ba felt the pressure from Wei Yan. Though there had been speculation before, he didn’t expect Wei Yan’s legion talent to actually be like this.

”I’ve used General Zang’s legion talent, Zhang Boyuan’s legion talent, and General Zhang’s legion talent. As long as they’re within my line of sight, I can switch at will,” Wei Yan revealed his previous experiences with using legion talents in one breath, ”Essentially, my legion talent is merely a reflection of others.”

For some reason, when Wei Yan spoke those words, Zang Ba felt a certain desolation, which made him feel awkward. Such a powerful legion talent, if deployed in a large army melee, with legion talents everywhere and constant switching according to various situations, would make it tough for anyone to contend with Wei Yan.

”I see, I was reckless,” Zhuge Liang stood up and sincerely bowed to Wei Yan, ”If possible, could you demonstrate your legion talent?”

”No problem,” Wei Yan nodded and replied, ”I don’t mind your suspicions; if it were me, I’d feel the same way. But remember to invite me for a drink after verifying.”

”When we return to Ye City, my lady will personally prepare a feast for you,” Zhuge Liang said with a peculiar look at Wei Yan. If he recalled correctly, Wei Yan is known for being proud. Someone like him being wrongly accused would hardly take it lightly, let alone someone with a good temperament.

However, Zhuge Liang was more concerned with the legion talent Wei Yan mentioned and didn’t give much thought to other matters. Possibly, Wei Yan wasn’t interested in pursuing such matters, as a drink is much easier than offering an apology later.

In fact, those present realized after hearing about Zhuge Liang’s spiritual talent that Zhuge Liang would surely become as prominent as Chen Xi, shining like the moon amid a cluster of stars. While Wei Yan is proud, he wouldn’t act recklessly for no reason.

Just as Guan Yu, despite his pride, showed respect when meeting Chen Xi. Being arrogant does not correlate with foolishness. Only a fool would offend an influential figure over trivial matters, and Wei Yan isn’t foolish.

”Hahaha, then it’s settled,” Wei Yan agreed, satisfied with Zhuge Liang’s courtesy, ”I think you still have doubts, let’s practice at the Martial Arts Arena, and we can both feel assured. To be honest, being remembered by someone like you makes me a bit anxious.”

With Wei Yan’s words, everyone present chuckled, lightening the atmosphere and easing the previous tension. Zhuge Liang felt more at ease.

Indeed, Zhuge Liang did want to witness Wei Yan’s legion talent, so he nodded and said, ”General Zang, would you mind if Liang and Wen Chang excuse ourselves first?”

”Hahaha, I’m quite interested. I think everyone here is interested,” Zang Ba said with a laugh after patting off his clothes.

”Indeed, such a fortunate event cannot be missed,” Xu Shu laughed heartily and stood up.

”I’ll tag along. Saying one would regret missing it is an exaggeration, but I am indeed curious,” Guan Ping said with a smile, and everyone else agreed, expressing their interest.

As the group headed to the Martial Arts Arena, Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong were sparring in the ring, while Chen Dao watched their match.

”Xuangao, are you here to practice martial arts too?” After Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong put away their weapons and saw Zang Ba and the others arrive, Huang Zhong asked. Constant sparring with Zhang Fei had familiarized him with Zhang Fei’s style, and any further matches wouldn’t provide any new insights.

”No practice, can’t beat you guys,” Zang Ba quickly declined. Huang Zhong’s strength seemed unfathomable—he’s a guy who has faced Lyu Bu solo many times without dying, and the reason he hasn’t ascended is simply bad luck.

As for sparring with Zhang Fei, Zang Ba wouldn’t even consider it. There’s never been a good end when facing Zhang Fei; unlike sparring with others where technique matters, Zhang Fei’s moves emphasize sheer power, leaving no room for resistance.
