Chapter 112 - 73 Agreement_2
"When I was your age, I was still stealing sweet potatoes from people’s homes," the old man said. "Then I had to run for my life with that scamp, Achai. In the end, I still had to work for others to save up money to ransom that stinky kid back!"
"This thing is enough for you to take a big step forward in the realm of body casting, enough to help you cultivate a defense similar to the Buddhist Sect’s Dragon Elephant Wisdom or the Taoist Heavenly Armor. Among those in the same realm, your flesh would be invincible."
"Then clad in heavy armor, riding exotic beasts, wielding divine weapons, you would be unstoppable."
"You’d be incredibly strong. Even if arrows and crossbow bolts pierced through the armor, even if they were Qi-breaking arrows, they would hardly cause you serious injury. When you pull out the arrows, your wounds would begin to heal even before you could stop the bleeding. That’s the physique of a fierce general."
"Can you imagine a nine-foot-tall big man, clad in black full-body heavy armor, riding an exotic beast with a head as tall as ten feet, fully equipped, weighing ten thousand pounds in total. And then, with a force faster than a river bursting its banks, he lifts a spear as thick as a wrist and charges toward you. Can you picture it?"
Li Guanyi let himself be drawn into the scenario, his breathing slightly heavy.
The old man said, "The mere sight of this would directly collapse the morale of common soldiers, they would break and flee. Once the morale of one-tenth of the soldiers collapses, it quickly spreads and becomes a rout."
"Such presence alone is enough to crush the morale of an entire army."
Li Guanyi asked, "Is this what a body like that of a fierce general looks like?"
The old man shook his head. "No, that is the Iron Futu."
"A thousand Iron Futus can scatter an army of thirty thousand, and if their own losses exceed one hundred, it means their commander is a brainless fool. A true fierce general can ride an exotic beast, break through the Iron Futu’s lines, and shatter their spearheads."
