Soul Dominator of the Devouring Star

Chapter 16 Cultivation, Departure

"Major Qin Ming, please confirm that the manuals and weapons are complete. If there are no problems, please sign here." The deliveryman was also a military martial artist, and even a major.

Behind him was a huge box.

There are many things inside, including the "Broken Army Halberd" and "Basic Guide to Spiritual Mind Mastery", as well as 4 nine-element throwing knives and 30 seven-element throwing knives.

The military donated a full set of equipment, including a 6-series Broken Army Halberd, a complete combat uniform, a backpack, a communication watch, and other items, as well as replacement major uniforms, uniforms for the Sky Sword Special Forces Brigade, and even some everyday uniforms.

The military offers the most comprehensive range of benefits.

Holding the list, Qin Ming checked it all over and, after confirming that it was correct, signed for it.

This left him no choice but to be careful, after all, the contents of this place, including the combat suits, would be worth more than a billion.

"Major Qin Ming, are you aware of the taboos associated with purchasing this secret manual?"

The martial artist delivering the goods looked at Qin Ming and smiled, "According to the rules, let me remind you again... the copyright of the manuals belongs to the creators of the manuals. The copyright of the 'Breaking Army Halberd' manual belongs to Liu Shan, and the copyright of the 'Spiritual Mind Master Basic Chapter' manual belongs to the military!"

The purchaser only has the right to learn, without authorization.

You must not copy the secret manual, or sell or teach it privately.

Anyone who disobeys will be hunted down by the army, Thunder Martial Arts School, the underground alliance, and Extreme Martial Arts School!

Qin Ming nodded; all martial artists were aware of this rule.

After the inspection, the deliveryman, a major, left.

"The manuals have all arrived? Qin Ming, hurry up and cultivate. We're setting off on the 28th to clear out the surrounding monsters, so you don't have much time."

Captain Lu Haochuan smiled at Qin Ming and gave him a reminder.

"Don't worry, Captain, I promise I won't hold you back!"

……

Back in his room, Qin Ming immediately opened the "Broken Army Halberd" manual.

I began to study it carefully.

"Momentum!"

The most prominent word on the title page made Qin Ming feel as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him, and his heart trembled.

Who is this Liu Shan?

The secret techniques created are actually so terrifying?

This was merely a copy, yet it still deeply impressed Qin Ming.

Driven by curiosity, Qin Ming continued reading.

"Use force to subdue mountains and rivers, and use momentum to break all laws."

Qin Ming was quickly drawn to the manual and became completely immersed in it.

Unlike "Ninefold Thunder Blade" and "World Destroyer" which focus on extreme speed, "Broken Army Halberd" emphasizes the control of force and momentum, maximizing the superposition of power and the scope of destruction. Its combat style is to sweep through thousands of troops and overwhelm people with momentum.

If the Nine-fold Thunder Blade emphasizes speed, then the Broken Army Halberd is all about gravity!

This is the essence of the saying "one force can overcome ten techniques".

The Po Jun Halberd technique is based on the "three-plate resonance" (foot grinding on the ground → waist and hip twisting → shoulder and arm explosive force), which can unleash an attack far exceeding one's own strength.

The Tang Dynasty text "Questions and Answers with Li Weigong" states, "The halberd is the courage of all weapons; it cannot stand without its power."

The Complete Essentials of Military Strategy states, "The weight of the halberd originates from the heel, pierces the spine, and collapses at the blade."

This undoubtedly reveals the essence of halberd techniques.

"Broken Army Halberd" is not an extreme power-based style, but rather a unity of power and skill.

"The halberd is the balance of heaven and earth. By balancing strength and speed, breaking through techniques and maintaining defense, one can truly see the essence of martial arts."

Qin Ming was deeply moved, as this coincided with his own deepest thoughts.

In his view, going to extremes is not advisable.

"Who is Liu Shan? I've never heard of him. Such a powerful person shouldn't be unknown." Qin Ming tried to recall his memories, but he couldn't remember anyone.

Qin Ming immediately turned on his computer and searched.

After a long pause, Qin Ming sighed. It turned out that this powerful figure named Liu Shan was actually a military expert from the same era as Hong and Lei Shen during the Great Nirvana period.

In the early stages of the Great Nirvana, the Kyoto base city fell short of its initial establishment.

At that time, humans had not yet developed ultra-high frequency laser cannons, and it was the most frenzied time of fighting with land monsters and sea monsters.

Faced with the beast tide attack, Liu Shan, who already possessed the strength of a peak war god, led his team to persevere for nine days and nine nights in the face of the world-destroying beast tide. In the end, he perished together with the king-level monster "Azure Dragon of the Blue Sea" in a battle.

After the battle, the beast tide receded.

"Alas! If Senior Liushan hadn't perished, he would definitely have broken through to the planetary level, and might even have been able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Hong and Lei Shen." In the early stages of the war, the military lost too many powerful figures.

There are too many such examples, such as Dong Nanbiao and Liu Shan; they are just a microcosm of the countless soldiers.

When facing a monster, perhaps others can retreat.

But the military personnel will never back down!

This is precisely why the military suffered the most casualties among its warriors.

With a somewhat somber mood, Qin Ming adjusted his mindset and continued his research.

As an SS-level secret technique, "Breaking Army Halberd" contains a complete set of movement techniques called "Four Symbols", a complete set of guiding techniques called "Ten Thousand Jun", and a complete set of halberd techniques called "Breaking Army".

In the secret arts, guiding techniques are the foundation.

Combined with the Five Hearts Towards Heaven method, it absorbs genetic energy and strengthens the body.

Movement techniques and halberd techniques are combat skills.

These secret techniques are divided into six levels, but he only has the first four levels that he purchased.

The more Qin Ming read, the happier he became. This "Broken Army Halberd" was just right for him, and he was completely engrossed in reading it.

They couldn't wait to rehearse it on the spot.

However, upon seeing the Broken Army Halberd that had been delivered along with it, Qin Ming decided to temporarily abandon the idea.

The reason is simple: the Po Jun Halberd, being a long weapon, is a full 2.8 meters long.

It's impossible to fully utilize your skills in the room.

With a hint of regret, Qin Ming closed the secret technique.

The "Broken Army Halberd" is extremely powerful, and when it is unleashed, it can stack power in a unique way.

The first level allows you to unleash an extra burst of internal force, maximizing your power by 180%!

The second level allows for the release of two additional layers of internal force, unleashing 270% of the power!

The third level allows for the release of three layers of hidden force, unleashing 360% of the power!

Following this logic, theoretically, at the fifth level, one can unleash five layers of hidden force, exerting 5.4% of their power.

A full 5.4 times the power.

It's only slightly inferior to "World Destruction" and "Nine-fold Thunder Blade".

In theory, the "Broken Army Halberd" actually has a sixth layer.

Unfortunately, the final layer was not fully created by Senior Liushan before he perished.

Actually, this is not a strange thing, after all, how long has it been since humans embarked on the path of cultivation?

Many brilliant geniuses perished early, so the secret techniques were naturally incomplete.

Instead of rushing into cultivation, Qin Ming began to study another secret technique, "The Foundation of Spiritual Mind Master".

"The Fundamentals of Spiritual Mastery" is not a book-like manual, but a USB drive that allows access to an internal military network within the base.

Its security level is even higher than that of "The Broken Army Halberd".

After some work on the computer and logging into the website, Qin Ming began to study it.

Aside from some introductions to mentalists, the book "Fundamentals of Mentalists" mainly covers three methods of killing enemies.

The first method is to control objects remotely to kill enemies. The second method is to infiltrate the enemy's consciousness to launch an attack. The third method is to tame beasts.

Qin Ming had little interest in animal taming, because it wasn't about forcibly controlling animals, but rather a method of spiritual communication.

Therefore, the main focus is on object control and psychological attacks.

The key to controlling objects lies in controlling as many weapons as possible at the same time while maintaining the strongest attack power.

The book "Fundamentals of Spiritual Mastery" contains methods for improving control skills.

"If you use your mental power to enter someone else's sea of ​​consciousness and directly kill them in a head-on collision, your mental power strength will be at least three levels higher than theirs!"

It would be extremely difficult for a normal mentalist to do this, but for me, who possesses the Myriad Soul Banner, it might be the most powerful attack method.

Qin Ming's eyes gleamed.

His Ten Thousand Soul Banner controls the souls of thousands of monsters, including more than a dozen at the level of Beast General.

If they were to swarm in and directly attack the opponent's spirit and will, even a war god might die.

Of course, this was just Qin Ming's guess.

The specific situation still needs to be determined in actual combat.

Ordinary martial artists simply cannot project their spiritual power, but powerful martial artists often possess strong will and spirit, so whether they can be overwhelmed and killed is still unknown.

The book "Fundamentals of Spiritual Mastery" doesn't record much, only 18 attack methods.

Qin Ming purchased the first two floors, so they only included the three types: 'Dream Bewitching', 'Illusionary Eye', and 'Mental Spike'.

Although they are described as three different methods, their effects are all similar. They all use secret techniques to distract the opponent and then use telekinesis to kill them!

"Now that we have the secret techniques, the next step is to focus on cultivation."

Picking up his halberd and carrying his throwing knives, Qin Ming headed straight for the martial arts training hall.

With only ten days left until October 28th, he must seize the time to improve his skills.

……

Time flies, and more than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

These days, Qin Ming spends most of his time practicing the "Broken Army Halberd" and controlling throwing knives. With the captain's guidance, he also practices with other members of the team from time to time, and his halberd skills, movement techniques, and object control have improved significantly.

Every day, he would also take some time to go to the monster carcass decomposition center to dissect and cut up the monsters.

It would be different if he went there now with his current status.

In particular, after the captain found out, he made a special effort to help him dismantle some beast general-level corpses.

Even though these monsters are dead, their power remains.

While dissecting them, one can also learn about the weaknesses of these monsters, which has many benefits, and many martial artists have done this before.

The monster carcass decomposition center at the 003 war base is never short of corpses. Every now and then, there are attacks from sea monsters, and military patrols frequently sweep around the base.

The Myriad Soul Banner absorbed enough souls and essence of flesh and blood, allowing Qin Ming's strength to increase at an extremely rapid pace.

"Time to get to work!"
