Chapter 2132 - 2125: Well-Fought

After confirming that the gifts Zhang Menglong sent him were indeed Supreme Crystals, Karon demonstrated what it meant to be a miser, as even the Generals in Xiwat couldn’t trick him into parting with a single Supreme Crystal.

That night, under his father’s guidance, Karon used all the Supreme Crystals, successfully elevating his Soul Rank from Second Grade to Third Grade.

With the breakthrough in his Soul Rank, Karon, who was originally estimated to take five more years to become a Transcender, incredibly broke through this barrier overnight, becoming a true Transcender!

This made Karon almost revere Zhang Menglong like a deity, as this fortuitous teacher brought him immense surprises! Even though he didn’t have much to guide him in cultivation, not even the Sixth-tier Transcender of Qinglan Empire could help him become a Transcender overnight; this achievement alone was unmatched by anyone.

As a Transcender, Karon at this moment truly became one of the core figures in the army.

The next afternoon, Xiwat gathered everyone in the combat room, as the war with their opponent, Hongteng Kingdom, was nearing its end. The ongoing war had severely drained the national power of both countries, otherwise, it would not have reached the point where even slaves were sent to the battlefield.

With the acquisition of Zhang Menglong and Karon, two Transcenders, the military power of Mansha Empire invisibly increased significantly, and at this moment, they decisively prepared to launch a major offensive against Hongteng Kingdom. If they could win this battle, the war would end immediately!

In the combat room, Citat analyzed the current military strength comparison between the two countries.

Originally, Hongteng Kingdom’s strength was slightly superior. Their Legion Commander was a Second-tier Transcender, his strength on par with Xiwat, but he had six Vice Legion Commanders who were all Transcenders, leading Mansha Empire to suffer slightly in engagements.

But now, their peak combat power surpassed Hongteng Kingdom, taking advantage of their lack of intelligence, they might be able to end the war swiftly with a surprise attack.

"Menglong might not know about the grievances between us and Hongteng Kingdom," Xiwat observed Zhang Menglong’s puzzled expression and realized he needed to explain some background.

"Indeed," Zhang Menglong nodded, "I might need more information to enhance my ability to analyze the battle situation."

Xiwat looked at Zhang Menglong, suddenly feeling that Zhang Menglong didn’t seem like someone from a slave background.

Firstly, within a single day, he adapted to his new identity; his lifestyle, habits, and demeanor showed no signs of being slave-like.

As a soldier, he even sensed a very familiar aura from Zhang Menglong, an iron-blooded vigor that only fellow soldiers possess.

Secondly, Zhang Menglong’s thinking and analytical skills didn’t resemble those of a slave; he seemed very unfamiliar with many basic things, yet his adaptability was extremely strong.

Finally, Zhang Menglong’s terrifyingly strong combat skills were absolutely not something an untrained person could exhibit.

He repeatedly watched videos of Zhang Menglong on the battlefield. It was evident that he utilized some Transcendence Techniques!

The so-called Transcendence Techniques are akin to martial arts techniques from other worlds, just that here they are more richly categorized, but collectively known as Transcendence Techniques, meaning they are abilities and skills that only Transcenders can wield, requiring Transcender physique and extremely strong control.

Such control cannot be acquired overnight; it requires systematic training to master.

Yet Zhang Menglong, who just became a Transcender, already possessed this ability, which was truly astonishing.

Though Zhang Menglong claimed he might have a good Gift, a good Gift is demonstrated by the ability to extrapolate from basic teachings to derive profound formulas, that’s Gift.

But without a teacher, for someone unfamiliar with mathematics to suddenly solve an advanced math problem, that’s definitely suspicious.

He boldly guessed that Zhang Menglong perhaps obtained certain opportunities while still a slave.

As he pondered, he began narrating the background between the two countries.

This war was initiated by Mansha Kingdom.

In fact, long ago, Mansha Kingdom was a very weak kingdom. They underwent dynastic changes, the previous Royal Family was foolish and incompetent, extremely cowardly, constantly lowering their bottom line in the face of neighboring invasions, causing Mansha Kingdom to lose large amounts of territory and wealth.

Eventually, the ancestors of the current Royal Family rose and overthrew the then Royal Family’s rule, leading Mansha Kingdom to gain independence and the right to self-governance. Soon after, they made huge sacrifices to repel the invaders from Mansha Empire.

They quietly grew over time, continually building national strength until they developed into their current scale, at which point they decisively launched a counterattack, aiming to reclaim lost lands and plundered national treasures.

"Although we know that war brings mostly bloodshed and sacrifice, our current warfare also faces significant internal resistance. Many feel that the current situation is not easy to achieve, and the lost items should be considered as never owned. If pursuing those things causes the current peace to disappear, the cost outweighs the benefits."

"Utter nonsense!"

Having listened to Xiwat’s account, Zhang Menglong immediately unleashed a tirade.

The past of Mansha Kingdom was practically identical to Huaxia’s history!

Whoever said history had passed and should be forgotten, if someone stood before him now telling him to let go of the past and hatred, Zhang Menglong would undoubtedly unleash his father’s Seven Wolves and slap them hard in the face.

He could unreservedly claim that those people were brainless!

Xiwat was startled by Zhang Menglong’s reaction, unsure where Zhang Menglong’s profound resonance came from, as if he personally experienced everything.

"This war was launched at the right time!" Zhang Menglong declared, "Everything that belongs to our kingdom must be taken back; if they refuse, we’ll fight until they concede. Those who oppose the war are spineless cowards; I’ll chastise every single one I see in the future!"

"Teacher is right!" Karon too was evidently filled with fervor, "As long as we can win this war, we’ll reclaim all lost territories and demand the return of everything taken!"

"Not enough!" Zhang Menglong said, "We’ll demand compensation, super multiplied!"
