Throughout these past six months, he had employed nearly every method he could think of to quietly become stronger.

He deduced the "Black Dragon, Barbarian Bear, Whale's Cry, Cleave" Four Forces into Four Forms, evolving into the "True Form of Xuanwu" consisting of Nine Forms.

His Divine Soul ventured out of the body, perfected the "Grass Sea Astonished Snake Form" of White Camel Estate, secretly learned the "Old Ape Moving Mountain Form" from Shanhe Martial Arts Hall, as well as incorporated the "Whale Swallowing Blue Sea Form" of Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple into his "Gang Qi Power System."

Although he hadn't reached the ultimate "Force Power System" state of the "Xuanwu Body," his level had already reached heights unimaginable to others.

As for the "Xuanwu Four Styles," it came with an increase in forms through his enlightenment.

"Thousand Hands of Pear Blossoms" was slowly deduced by Song Cheng from the ordinary Yellow Level Grade D skill "Pear Blossom Flying Needle," starting with "Heavy Rain Pear Blossom" to reaching "Thousand Hands of Pear Blossoms."

And his strength had changed from "189~378" five months ago to "240~480."

Besides that, he still had "781" Remaining Points.

Afterward, it would be "increasing the probability of enhancing the evolution of Yellow Level Grade A Cultivation Technique," "being able to review the core Cultivation Techniques of Shanhe Martial Arts Hall and White Camel Estate," and "studying as many Form Realm Techniques as possible to advance the 'Xuanwu Nine Forms' to the ultimate state like the 'Xuanwu Body.'"

781 Remaining Points were enough to ensure that once he improved, he would rapidly reach Perfection.

"What Realm is it, come on, tell me. You tell me."

Miss An, initially seen as cold and breathtaking, had become capricious and coquettish.

Song Cheng said sheepishly, "Sister An, it is indeed the Form Realm."

"Oh..."

Miss An sighed in relief, then said, "It seems you are not monstrous enough."

Song Cheng quickly said, "Yes, yes, you're right, Sister. I still need to be humble and learn, and not be arrogant."

"Sly mouth." Miss An glared at him and sternly said, "Be honest and confess, just which Realm are you in? I always feel it's not as simple as the Form Realm."

After thinking, Song Cheng said, "Sister An, others have one Force, one Form, right?"

Miss An mused, "As I know, there are those with two Forces, three Forces, but fewer with two Forms."

Song Cheng said lightly, "I practice a hundred Forces, a hundred Forms."

Miss An: ??????

Song Cheng raised his hand, channeling Force and Gang, concentrating it to two fingers.

Those two fingers turned dark but not with a clumsy, lifeless darkness; rather, they bore the expansive and dynamic darkness of clouds roiling across the night sky, reminiscent of divine fingers of gods standing against mountain peaks.

These two fingers contained a hundred Forces of Xuanwu within and were wrapped in nine Gang Qi externally.

The combined fingers were already superior to any weapon Song Cheng had seen, even incomparable to a Mechanical Knife.

Therefore, at this moment, he didn't hold a knife, nor did he carry a shield, but his power statistics were still "240~480."

Because his two fingers were the knife, and his palm was the shield.

Of course, there was still a problem of consumption, so it was better to carry weapons... but if the enemy painstakingly knocked those weapons away or destroyed them, they would find that an unarmed Song Cheng was even more powerful.

Miss An naturally couldn't perceive the intricacies involved, but as she gently touched those fingers and observed their night-sky hue, she suddenly laughed, and amidst laughter, she said, "My man is truly useful."

Song Cheng withdrew his power and embraced the mother of the child known as "Ting," slowly drifting off to sleep.

Outside the window, the snow layered upon itself.

...

...

At the front lines, the battle situation had already stabilized.

As winter approached, the snow fell.

Both sides were leaning towards a truce.

Because both had noticed that peculiar and chilly sensation was starting to emerge again.

The Imperial Family, composed of Divine Arms Hall and Star-Viewing Tower, therefore had deep research into the stars.

The Imperial Family had once explained the seasons.

They said, "After entering winter, the Human World is farthest from the sun and closest to Taiyin, thus it's cold; after summer starts, the Human World is nearest to the sun and farthest from Taiyin, thus it's warm. Spring and autumn are merely the transitions between winter and summer."

This statement might not have meant much in past years.

But earlier this year, the Ghost Tide appeared on an unprecedented scale and lasted nearly forty days!

And what about this winter?

How will this winter be?

Often, both the Dashang army and the northern Barbarians would stand at the edge of a corpse-strewn battlefield, feeling a chill run through their hearts, horrified.

The soil, burying countless bodies, seemed to flutter with grim shadows, with black smoke rising fiercely, twisting like underwater weeds or the floating long hair of the drowned...

The heroes' souls did not return to their homeland and instead formed evil spirits.

The soil was abnormal.

Eventually, both parties decided that it would be better to hold talks.

The negotiations were set to take place at the boundary of their warzones — Luyu Mountain.
