Chapter 69: Xun Yu's Ability

  As for Lü Bu's comprehension, Liu Xuan felt that it should be evaluated at a higher level. Originally, seeing Lü Bu cultivate for such a long time, his progress was not much faster than Zhang Liao's, and there were even signs of being overtaken by Zhang Liao. It seemed that Lü Bu didn't have much talent in cultivation...

  "Actually walked into his eyes."

  Of course, the stronger Lü Bu is, the happier Liu Xuan is. At the same time, Lü Bu's situation has also strengthened his determination to popularize this set of techniques.

  It can be seen from Lü Bu that the fierce generals of this era have a strong ability to accept this set of techniques. It can even be said that these kung fu moves, which were created by himself in his spare time, are most suitable for use by the various civil and military officials of this era. The technique is not only usable by martial generals, but also by civil officials who can understand some moves. Although it may not be as lethal as the moves used by martial generals, it is more varied and has a wider range of applications.

  Lü Bu gazed at this, and the contemporary number one fierce general suddenly realized that after half a month of practicing the Halberd Chop, it was good to stand there holding the Fang Tian Hua Halberd and ponder. Just now, Liu Xuan casually waved his Red Sky, and the Halberd Chop flew out of his hand, with its energy condensed and solidified, flying dozens of feet away without dissipating.

  Lü Bu's Half-Month Slash only flew out over a dozen steps before gradually dispersing, at which point it no longer had any killing power. Moreover, the preparation time was also relatively long; he whirled the Heaven-Halberd in his hand for several circles before feeling an epiphany, and with a flick of his wrist, he released that Half-Month Slash.

  From these two aspects, Lü Bu's move was just barely understood, and its power and practicality were naturally incomparable to Liu Xuan's. However, since Lü Bu had already learned it, as long as he was given some time, he would soon be able to thoroughly master this move.

  With something to focus on, Lü Bu calmed down and spent the next period of time hiding in his own Tiger Cavalry's training ground, slowly practicing.

  At the same time, according to Liu Xuan's orders, he taught his basic skills to his generals, such as Cao Xing and Gao Shun. These days were spent reorganizing the troops and practicing the new cultivation method they had just learned.

  At first, these people were still confused and thought that Lü Bu's brain was flooded with water. He actually said that he would teach them some immortal family skills? Could it be that Lü Bu had been cast a spell by the Yellow Turbans to confuse his mind?

  Lü Bu saw the strange looks of everyone, and without wasting words, he directly used Half Moon Slash. Everyone saw that a straw man twenty steps away was cut in two by the curved moon's energy, and immediately there were no more idle remarks, they listened very seriously to Lü Bu's explanation.

  Of course, it's absolutely unreliable to expect Lü Bu to do this. The one who is really responsible for explaining is Xun Yu, and at the same time, he implies that this set of skills was obtained by the emperor from the imperial palace's forbidden area, and it is a celestial skill that only members of the royal family can practice. Ordinary people are not allowed to practice it. However, the emperor has shown mercy and highly values his generals, so he intentionally bestowed this set of skills upon them to practice, with the expectation that they will serve the emperor wholeheartedly in the future.

  In order to give Lü Bu some face - after all, he was instructing his generals in front of him - Xun Yu deliberately praised Lü Bu a few times, saying that the Emperor had agreed to pass on the methods of governance to these people, and also because of Lü Bu's remonstrance.

  These people will not believe Xun Yu, anyway Lü Bu is very satisfied, then taught the basic skills once, turned around and prepared to leave.

  But unexpectedly, he was stopped by Lü Bu before leaving the camp and asked: "Sir, slow down, I have something to ask you." According to their positions, Lü Bu, as a Tiger General and holder of the title of Marquis of Wen, did not need to be so polite to Xun Yu, after all, Xun Yu's current official position was not high.

  Xun Yu was one of Liu Xuan's close officials, attending him every day, and Lü Bu had long since noticed that Liu Xuan trusted Xun Yu deeply, this man obtained the method of cultivation earlier than himself.

  Xun Yu heard Lü Bu's inquiry and stopped in his tracks, saying politely: "Marquis Wen is being courteous, I don't know what it's about?"

  Lü Bu smiled: "It's nothing major, I'm just a general who has grasped a move to kill the enemy, but I don't know what move you have grasped, sir?"

  He had been curious for a long time, if it was said that the half-month killing skill was extremely useful for this general, but he didn't know what kind of insight Xun Yu, as a scholar, had gained. If it was also a direct method to kill enemies, then what significance did it have?

  Xun Yu seemed to have anticipated that Lü Bu would ask this question, and he turned his head to look at the several generals beside him. These people were also staring at him with wide eyes, seemingly very concerned about this issue that they didn't quite understand. Xun Yu was not being pretentious, nor did he play up the suspense; he simply raised his hand and pointed remotely at the straw man that Lü Bu had cut in two: "Scorching hot!"

  As soon as the voice fell, a fierce fire suddenly broke out at the grass man's place. Although it was only an instant thing, it burned all the grass men into ashes, and they were no longer seen.

  Lü Bu looked at the place where there should have been a scarecrow, but now it was just a patch of black ash. His face first showed some confusion, then suddenly realization dawned on him, and he became shocked, to the point that he didn't even notice Xun Yu taking his leave.

  Cao Xing saw Lü Bu staring at the black and gray mass, speechless for a long time. He thought Lü Bu was shocked by the power of this move: "This general has seen that Mr. Xun's mysterious skills are powerful, but the preparation time seems to be longer. Compared with the General's vigorous energy, they have their own strengths and weaknesses. The General doesn't need to worry too much."

  Lü Bu waved his hand and said, "The technique of starting a fierce fire from afar is not mainly used to kill enemies on the battlefield. In major battles, many use clever strategies, among which the most common is the strategy of using fire attacks. With this ability, starting a fire would truly be unstoppable." Although he was not skilled in using these strategies, having been through many battles, he had seen it happen many times and naturally thought of this point.

  I don't know if there's a limit to the distance of that move, but according to what Liu Xuan said earlier, the stronger one's cultivation is, the more powerful their moves will be. As long as Xun Yu continues to cultivate, I estimate that distance won't be a problem anymore.

  The crowd of generals listened to Lü Bu's words and finally understood the true purpose of that move. They looked at each other, feeling both apprehensive and secretly hopeful, looking forward to the day when they could also master those divine techniques.

  Lü Bu didn't know that Xun Yu couldn't exert such terrifying power with his eyes. Otherwise, this battle against Li Jue and Guo Si wouldn't be necessary, just keep a distance and let him set fire to them directly.

  But Liu Xuan once said to him: "Don't just look at the present, think about it, after a few years, when Wenruo's cultivation is strong and powerful, when the army of tens of thousands of soldiers besieges the city, Wenruo only needs to stand on the city wall and display that powerful move, directly calling out that tens of thousands of enemy troops to dissipate like smoke, what kind of prestige would that be?"

  Xun Yu just smiled when he heard it, but he admitted that at that moment he was indeed a little distracted, possibly because the picture painted by Liu Xuan in his mind was too grand.

  However, after calming down, he still felt that his current ability was not as useful as Lü Bu's, after all, he couldn't charge into the battlefield like Lü Bu, but Liu Xuan proposed another way to use him to Xun Yu.

  "At present, your cultivation is still shallow. If you want to achieve the greatest effect, this move actually has another usage."

  "Please instruct me, Your Majesty." Xun Yu also assumed a student's demeanor with alacrity, after all, in this cultivation path, he was far inferior to this emperor who was much younger than him.

  "Choose a place to set fire in advance, make some arrangements, and then lure the enemy into it. After that, unleash the scorching heat to exert an even more powerful force."

  Xun Yu was puzzled: "In that case, isn't the scorching heat just a trick of setting fire?" He thought that the so-called arrangement was nothing more than sprinkling dry grass and oil in the ambush, but Liu Xuan's answer was not so.

  "It's not these things, but the way to exert intense heat without launching it, and wait for the enemy to enter the ambush before exploding."

  This approach is similar to laying down landmines in advance, and manually detonating them when the enemy enters the minefield. Not only is it powerful, but also has an advantage of being unpredictable, as the enemy will not be able to detect any abnormalities beforehand.

  "I see." Xun Yu didn't expect such a usage, if it's really like this, then the practicality of this move would be much higher. Although he can't directly charge onto the battlefield, he can still give the enemy enough impact.

  It's just... this time Liu Xuan personally went to the front, Xun Yu will definitely be by his side, probably won't go to the front line, even if he wants to show off his skills, it'll have to wait till later.

  It's likely that Lü Bu will be able to fully showcase his abilities this time, and after this battle, the fact that he has mastered the mysterious technique will spread throughout the world. The title of the number one fierce general in the world will probably be even more secure.

  However, Xun Yu also thought that if the emperor could grasp this mysterious method, wouldn't there be others in the world who understood it? The first thing he thought of was the Yellow Turbans. If the Yellow Turbans were to teach their generals the same cultivation methods as the current emperor, wouldn't the world become even more chaotic?

  He shared his concerns with Liu Xuan, who looked at Xun Yu in surprise and finally smiled: "If Wen Ruo is reassured, even if they start plotting now, I will still have the upper hand."

  Xun Yu heard Liu Xuan say this, and knew that the young emperor had long since made up his mind, so he did not continue to entangle himself in this matter, but instead focused on the war in the northwest.

  "Your Majesty, how long will this battle take to finish?"

  Liu Xuan smiled: "How much longer, within half a year, the northwest will be completely pacified. I estimate that not even a single enemy soldier will be seen, and Li Jue and Guo Si will both have their heads chopped off by Cao Cao."

  Lü Bu has become even stronger, how many people in this world can stop him? Even if someone could stop him, it would definitely not be Li Jue and Guo Si. So before the battle had even begun, the outcome was already decided.

  However, this battle is a good excuse. Liu Xuan suddenly remembered and ordered Xun Yu: "Right, last year Liu Jingzhou petitioned for Huang Zhong's merits, at that time I didn't allow him to be appointed as an official because of the military horse arrangement, today with the big war approaching, it's just right to recruit this person into the capital to take office."

  He rubbed his chin thoughtfully for a moment: "Let's seal off General Yibu first."

  Xun Yu didn't understand why the Emperor valued this general named Huang Zhong, but he still drafted an edict according to the instructions. After Liu Xuan reviewed it, one of the six seals suddenly appeared in his hand as he carelessly waved it, and then disappeared after being stamped on the edict.

  Watching all this, Xun Yu suddenly had an idea in his mind: "Isn't Zi Mo a god reincarnated today?"
