Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

January 183 AD, the spring of the sixth year of Guanghe.

For three full months, Suo Chao diligently practiced martial arts. The defeat in that battle only deepened Suo Chao's sense of crisis. Sharpening the knife doesn't delay the chopping of wood; his physique and speed improved.

At the same time, Suo Chao was also working hard to study his sword and spear skills, but the progress was not ideal.

Like the Nine Wonders of Astonishment, the Yue Girl Sword Technique is also a divine-level technique. Suo Chao's two divine-level techniques possess unlimited combat power. At the same power level, either the sword or spear will approach perfection, making them invincible at the same level.

Suo Chao was surprised. Both divine-level martial arts were growth-enhancing. Suo Chao's actual combat power increased with his strength, and his martial arts realm experienced a qualitative change as his artistic conception progressed.

"First Style: The momentum of the advance, destroying the front. With one strike of the sword, the narrow road is fought bravely and invincible."

"The second move: retreat, hold fast. Retreat with one sword, even if the arrogant dragon regrets, I will remain undefeated."

"Third Style: Flashing Force, Spiritual Snake. A flash of sword, a sudden breakthrough."

"Fourth Style: Breaking Force, breaking armor. Breaking with one sword, destroying gold, breaking jade, shattering mountains and rivers."

"Fifth Style: The power of defense, diamond. One sword controls, solid as iron, and boundless."

"Sixth Style: Slashing force, beheading. Slash with one sword, smashing the dragon and slicing through the sky."

"Seventh Style: Attack with force, breaking the army. One sword attack, the force breaks the army thousands of miles away."

"The eighth style: the momentum of seduction, the real and the fake. One sword lures, the real and the fake disappear without a trace."

"Ninth Style: Accumulated Power, Yin and Yang. One sword accumulates, and then it bursts out, breaking through Yin and Yang."

The shifts between attack and defense are like the alternation of yin and yang, the advance and retreat revealing the art of tension and relaxation. Movement and stillness, like the workings of the universe, contain the endless mysteries of kendo. Movement is like the swift wind and lightning, stillness is like the depths and towering mountains. Every move and every form is a profound knowledge.

The interplay of the virtual and the real, like the interplay of yin and yang, is the essence of swordsmanship. The virtual contains the real, the real contains the virtual, the ever-changing and unpredictable. Whether it's a fierce attack or a solid defense, both implicitly reflect the fundamental principle of the balance of yin and yang. Excessive force can easily break, but a gentle and pliant force can overcome hardness.

Suo Chao's mind suddenly became enlightened, his sword power broke through to the great perfection realm, and his spear power also reached the mastery realm.

......

Last year, Suo Chao defeated the Xianbei in two battles, achieving a fruitful outcome. His fame points reached 100, and his military exploits reached 50.

[Power: Monan County Governor]

Suo Chao carefully examined his stats panel. The past three months had yielded quite a good harvest. He activated the Eye of Truth again, automatically unearthing today's three treasure maps.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host, you have received 200 serving of 1g roasted sweet potato]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host, you have received 200 serving of 1g steamed taro]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host, you have received 200 serving of 1g steamed taro]

Suo Chao had grown indifferent to the prizes from ordinary treasure maps. There was still an ordinary treasure map lying in the system space, and he had originally planned to dig for it after annihilating the Xianbei. But plans couldn't keep up with changes. Digging three times a day was everyone's source of hope.

Zhao Er, a poor commoner from Danyang County, survived by farming. However, in recent years, his land had been seized by powerful individuals, leaving him with no food to eat. Even his humble treasure map proved difficult to protect; any treasure he unearthed had to be handed over to the powerful, or he would be brutally beaten.

He longed for the day when he could defy fate and change his destiny. Even awakening a single black-level skill would have satisfied him. Unfortunately, while ideals are picturesque, reality is as cruel as hell. Under the pressure of life, Zhao Er heard about the immigration policy of Mo Nan County and, hoping for a lucky break, resolutely headed there.

The result was unexpected. Not only was there a house and land here, but also the rewards he had worked so hard to dig out would not be deprived. With the food and prizes he dug out, Zhao Er's life became happy.

......

Every day, in addition to practicing his three martial arts, Suo Chao also insisted on replacing sleep with Qigong. This technique, which had no levels and was extremely mysterious, could continuously refine Suo Chao's body and nourish his true Qi.

Suo Chao's three major development plans were martial arts training, military training, and the development of Mo Nan County. He learned a Tai Chi battle formation from the swordsmanship of the Yue women, which greatly improved the offensive and defensive capabilities of Suo Chao's cavalry.

Suddenly one day, a ragged, skinny beggar came to Suo Chao's camp. The beggar was dark and thin, and was stopped by the guards. He said he wanted to see the General Zhenbei.

"I want to join the army! I want to see General Zhenbei"

"Oh? You can serve as a soldier, but forget about asking to see the general. The general is busy with official duties and can't spare the time."

"Is our army lacking a military advisor?"

"Yes! That's right. We don't have a military advisor for now. General Suo has to shoulder all the responsibilities."

"Then I've come to the right place. The army is in need of a strategist like me."

"What's your name? I'll go inform the general."

"Zheng Hewen!"

"Okay! Wait a moment."

Li Zuo, a barracks guard, knew the general was seeking a skilled military advisor. On the battlefield, a brilliant strategist not only orchestrates strategic plans and secures victories from afar, but also provides powerful magical attacks and assists to the entire army. In this world, a wise strategist's combat power rivals that of a military commander. Li Zuo understood the magnitude of this matter and dared not slack off.

"Report to the General! There is a beggar outside who wants to see you. He says he is qualified to be your military advisor."

Suo Chao sat upright in the military tent, eyes slightly closed, cross-legged like an old monk in meditation. Suddenly, his eyes fluttered open, as if two bolts of lightning flashed through the darkness, and his training came to an abrupt halt. He asked with interest.

"Oh? A beggar? Interesting, bring him in!"

After a while, a middle-aged man walked into Suo Chao's tent. He was hunched over, his steps were unsteady, and his former elegance was long gone.

His ragged, worn clothes, as if weathered by countless storms, contrasted with his gaunt frame, making him appear even more destitute and haggard. His face was etched with the marks of time, with deep wrinkles etched into his forehead and around his eyes. His eyes betrayed an endless sense of fatigue and vicissitudes. His hair was disheveled, as if it hadn't been combed in ages, with strands of gray streaked through, as if telling of his past.

"Zheng Hewen, meeting the General Zhenbei!"

"Yes! Mr. Zheng, please take a seat."

"General, I heard that you are lacking a military advisor."

"Not bad!"

"I am not talented, so I come here to recommend myself."
