Chapter 708: I Am a Legend (Second Update)

"Drive!"

The sound of horses' hooves like firecrackers, and the whip that roared through the air made many people look sideways.

The originally inseparable crowd on the street skillfully carved a path for the dragon horse with dragon blood to pass through quickly.

On the war horse, a knight with mottled dark red blood stains on his armor had sharp eyes, and his prancing horse raised his whip, even in the royal capital, he still raised his head with his chest up, and a tragic military evil spirit naturally emanated from him, making the people around him show a look of envy.

Feeling the gaze around him, Wang Li's back couldn't help but straighten up a little more.

Looking at the royal city, his eyes couldn't help but burn again.

If it had been a year ago, let alone let him leap in the royal city, the royal capital would have been an unattainable word for him.

As a small soldier at the border pass, he thought more about how to survive the next war and how to save himself from the attack of Wei.

At that time, he was worried, and after eating the last meal, he didn't have the next meal.

The empire is losing ground and will soon be defeated in his homeland.

He fought bloodily on the battlefield, but there was still no way to change the scene.

At that time, the greatest dream he could imagine was to become a general at the border pass and drive the people of Wei out of the border pass.

But it was just an unattainable dream, he himself knew that it was unrealistic, and he didn't dare to say it at all, the people of Wei were powerful and terrifying, and the border joints were defeated and retreated, and it was already unimaginable to be able to defend the frontier, let alone regain the lost territory.

And everything, his unspoken dream, has come true.

The empire is getting stronger and stronger, and the follow-up forces are endless, and most of the original brave people will only belong to the family, and will never go to the frontier and go to the battlefield.

And that all changed a year ago.

In front of the Legalist grandmaster Xuan Mingzi, everything changed.

This Legalist sage, the Great Sima of the Empire, began to reform a year ago.

Promote martial arts to the world, and everyone can gain combat exploits from the battlefield and change the fate of their lives.

Princes and generals, Ning Youyou has a kind of sentence that is widely spread in the border passes, although they dare not declare it, but everyone can understand this statement and behavior in private.

So much has changed in the past year.

Originally, he was just a small soldier who had obtained the enlightenment technique, and although he had repeatedly killed the enemy in the war with Wei, he was still only a small soldier, and all the credit was divided among the upper echelons.

But a year ago, military merit began to become the most important foundation of the empire.

And he suddenly rose to prominence.

He still remembers that day, when the fighting at the border was temporarily stopped, and the barracks were reorganized, and grooming and cleaning began from top to bottom.

At first, he thought that it was as usual, that there were big people from the empire who were going to come to the frontier to gild, and he was familiar with that kind of process.

The big people he had never been able to contact in his life came from the dreamlike place of everyone in the distant royal capital, selected the most outstanding people in the army to meet, and gave him a few words of encouragement.

Then the big man stayed in the barracks for a few days, as if he had never been there.

Within a few months or years, they will get the military merits they are satisfied with, and then, just like when he came, return to the imperial capital in style, and never return to the border again.

From beginning to end, such a character does not seem to have much to do with the border pass.

But this time it seems to be different, the figure who came from afar is a grandmaster of the empire, a terrifying existence who can destroy cities and armies, and I heard that he is going to carry out the changes of the Legalist saints.

All the characters who bravely kill the enemy on the battlefield will be treated with the best treatment, taught the best martial arts, and can even exchange military merits for titles like those big people, and finally go to the dreamy city and royal capital.

Wang Li felt that this was a fantasy, and every time a big man was coming, there were all kinds of rumors, some real, some dreamy.

And now the rumors are too dreamy.

"Don't talk about it, it's just that you can free yourself from the status of a slave, it's too bizarre to be able to go crazy to save each other, and the people who made up the rumors this time are too careless. ”

He said this to his colleagues, but a numb heart still fluctuated violently.

He had already reached the level of opening the nine knots half a year ago, but it was originally just a slave, and after making military merits on the battlefield, he got rid of his original status and became a commoner, and he was able to teach the cultivation exercises, but only the method of opening the knots.

As a veteran who survived from the battlefield, he clearly knew the importance of practicing the exercises, so he practiced desperately, but fortunately, the heavens seemed to take a fancy to him, his talent was very high, and in just two and a half years, he reached the level of opening the nine tricks.

He had already understood that the heirs of those top families had been cultivated by countless resources, and there were not many people who could have the same cultivation speed as him, and they were very few of them.

He was a legend in the army, a legend among civilians, who killed 217 enemies on the battlefield and survived.

This is also the reason why he dared to dream of being called a border general, and he thought that his legend would last forever.

But his legend ended here, and the accident was so painful that he couldn't remember it anymore, but every time he thought about it, he felt a faint pain in his heart.

He probably remembered that there was a big man who wanted to recruit him and sign a slave contract with him.

The big man made him countless promises, each of which was incomparably dazzling, and it was difficult for any soldier at the border to refuse.

And then...... He refused.

He was able to live to become a legend and crawl out of the pile of dead people because he didn't want to kneel.

He thought that with his legend he would be able to communicate with some big people on an equal footing, but it turned out that it wouldn't work.

After that incident, he remained a legend among the border gates.

Or so he always has been.

His task is getting more and more difficult, so difficult that people at the location level will frown, but he miraculously survived for a year.

It was a miracle among miracles, but Wang Li knew that he couldn't hold on.

He was no longer facing a covert attack, but a blatant murder.

Before that Grandmaster-level figure arrived, his next mission was to face an enemy country's Quadruple Heaven master.

He remembered that his superior looked at him with a look of pity and pity and then gave the order.

"Hold off the master of the Four Heavens for an hour. ”

Wang Li was ready to die, but after the arrival of that grandmaster, everything changed.

He was originally dismissed, and the military exploits that were thrown in the pile of solid paper were picked up again.

That grandmaster-level figure personally received him, was shocked by his legend, and personally told him that he could exchange for the strongest cultivation exercises in the empire than his military merits, which was originally reserved for the royal family.

He ascended to the sky step by step, became an exterior scene, and even the military exploits of previous years made him rise step by step, reaching a point he didn't dare to imagine.
