“Is this really just a suit of armor? There’s no one inside?”

The warrior with the spear, his spirit shattered, stared at the golden armored figure in the moonlight, waves of flame rolling off it, and his eyes were full of shock and disbelief, as if all the knowledge he had built up in the first half of his life had been smashed to pieces and thrown on the ground, ruthlessly trampled on.

“If there is no one, then it is just a suit of armor!”

An old man, his eyes full of sorrow, glanced at the broken water-fire stick in his hand, then looked up at the young man before him, and a great deal of his frustration suddenly dissipated.

It seemed that it wasn’t because the martial arts he had studied were simple and easy to learn, or because he was shallow and uninformed, but because the armor was not of this world. It belonged to the Heavenly people, and as such, it was natural that they, the warriors who were still mere mortals, could not surpass it.

“Have you seen it before?”

After a round of fighting, the trashed spear-wielding warrior asked resentfully.

What he hoped was beneath the armor was a martial arts master who was proficient in all eighteen martial arts skills. His encounter with him just now was merely him being toyed with, otherwise it would be too depressing.

“I know what you’re thinking. Don’t bother. There’s nothing inside it. If you don’t believe it, you can knock on it after the fight! ”

“Is that acceptable?”

On hearing this, the spear-wielding warrior was startled. Wouldn’t this be too disrespectful? After all, this thing, which had mastered all his skills within an hour and then defeated him, was just a suit of armor.

“He wouldn’t mind such a trivial matter!”

The old man squinted at the golden armoured figure, who was duelling with his old friend with twin blades in the now flattened forest, a glint in his eyes.

“Here they come again, what a terrifying talent. Old Li’s maple knife, which he has been pondering for half of his life, has been mastered in such a short time!”

“Such a terrifying talent. Luckily, it’s just a suit of armor. If it were a person, it would be truly despairing!”

In this place, specifically chosen for its remoteness from human habitation, numerous warriors who can deter tigers and leopards in the woods with just their aura watched the golden armored figure in the field, who was as swift as a dragon. They couldn’t help but admire, but some couldn’t control their inner thoughts.

“This martial arts artifact, which can grasp any technique at a touch and master it at once, if it could be handed down to the family, in less than a hundred years, it will surely create a powerful family that can suppress Da Jin!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the forest, which had been full of whispered discussions, fell silent, save for the sound of clashing weapons.

“Why are you looking at me like that? I was just saying!”

The warrior who carelessly blurted out what was on his mind, felt a chill run up his spine under the intense gazes, a cold sweat breaking out on his back. He force a couple of awkward laughs, attempting to explain.

“You had better just be saying!”

The supervising officer of Anqing Mansion looked at the outspoken warrior with a bad expression,

“Don’t harbor thoughts you shouldn’t have. Don’t cause trouble for yourself, or the people behind you. If you don’t want to live, feel free to kill yourself!” “Lord Cheng, it was an inadvertent comment!”

Looking at the supervising armor on the other party, indicative of his power, the disrespectful warrior sweated profusely, bowed his head and apologized. Even though they were both Gang Sha state martial artists, their future prospects were clear, there was no comparison.

“Then I consider it just an inadvertent comment. However, I should tell you in advance that the owner of this divine armor’s elder brother is now shaking Da Jin!”

The supervisor snorted coldly. Sitting in his current position, he cultivated a habit of reading reports periodically. He was well-versed in major events occurring within Da Jin.

The one who was exiled to the border from Capital City, whether dealing with external or internal affairs, had been killing relentlessly. Correspondingly, his prestige among the local people increased day by day. It was investigated that many families had begun to worship his longevity tablet.

The initially somewhat unsettled Northern Frontier became stable due to his arrival. The Barbarian Kings, who had been overbearing and encroaching on pastures, had begun to show signs of retreating.

“Yes, yes, thank you, Lord, for your warning. I will keep it in mind!”

Looking at the other warriors distancing themselves from him, and even some of his original friends who now refused to even glance at him, the warrior regretted so much that his intestines were green.

His thoughts were normal. Who wouldn’t want this kind of divine artifact when they came across it? Everyone present had the same thoughts. However, he didn’t think before he spoke and blurted out what he was thinking.

“Humph!”

Even though the other party had lowered his stance and apologized in a low voice, the supervisor still didn’t show him a pleasant face. This competition was organized by him. If there was any problem in the future, it could absolutely be traced back to him. He didn’t want to offend Lord Chengwen, who is now dominating the Northern Frontier.

In the quiet and lonely courtyard of Anqing Mansion, less than fifty miles from this secluded place, fire birds spread their wings and fluttered around. Tender vines, like serpents, meandered and climbed up the walls and pillars. Peach and plum trees grew and spread their branches, changing with each passing day. They bore heavy fruits and were lush with foliage.

A youth in the courtyard, which was located among the bustling city yet felt like a deep mountain valley inside, stretched his limbs, his feet moving unconsciously, his hands spreading out. Sometimes they came together like a knife, sometimes two fingers formed a sword. Where he passed by, the heavy stone bricks neatly broke, and the rampantly growing vines exploded in patches.

“Wonderful, it’s really wonderful!”
