"So, in this Yellow Turban Rebellion instance, this is how martial generals cultivate..."
"Resonance?"
It seemed like he was just taking the officer for a stroll, but during this process, Su Mo had observed his cultivation method in detail, then analyzed it bit by bit until it was completely clear.
"The spirit and will resonate with one's own vital energy and blood, refining vital energy."
"Training soldiers, forging a thousand armies, resonating with them; when the will resonates with the entire legion, and a common will is tempered, that is the process of a legion transforming from a motley crew into an elite force..."
Su Mo's lips curled slightly; this was a cultivation concept he had never encountered before, worthy of his in-depth study.
Perhaps, this newly appeared avatar of his could delve deeply into this path?
"You're useless now, let me give you a quick end!"
Just as the officer instinctively rushed towards the corner of the road, a sudden chill ran down his spine, and his hairs stood on end.
Instinctively, he lunged forward, trying to avoid the impending danger.
To his astonishment, however, a spear tip seemed to appear right in front of where he was lunging.
This feeling was so bizarre he wanted to vomit blood.
At this moment, it was as if he was deliberately seeking death, rushing straight towards his demise.
Pfft!
Without any surprise, the long spear directly pierced through his eye.
The next moment.
The officer completely fell into a deep abyss of darkness, unable to rise again.
His gaze did not linger on the corpse; with the battle concluded, the great power of the instance descended, and his vision suddenly brightened, revealing a light screen that only he, as a player, could see.
"Small Battle Ended!"
"Instance being evaluated..."
"Instance Battle Evaluation: Legendary Victory!"
"Newly awakened, you have perfectly interpreted your combat logic with an artistry-like skill."
"You defeated the strong with the weak, flawlessly eliminating an elite Han army squad, which even included an officer approaching the transcendent martial general level."
"Reward Settlement: legend *1, source of instances *20, Random Troop Summoning Talisman *3"
"Legendary Victory..."
"And 1 point of legend."
Su Mo chewed on this evaluation, pondering thoughtfully.
This evaluation and reward were even higher than he had anticipated.
It seemed the instance granted extra evaluation for 'flawless', 'defeating the strong with the weak', and 'tactical prowess'.
Otherwise, this 1 point of legend should not have been obtainable at all.
"legend, let me first see what this is..."
His gaze first fell upon the 'legend'.
He saw a faint golden light, seemingly containing countless fragments of information, quietly enveloping his avatar; this was the so-called 'legend'.
This light seemed to carry a profound sense of historical enactment.
"Reputation? No, it seems to be some kind of extremely deep-seated karmic imprint?"
Su Mo's will was linked to his main body in another world, and the Heavenly Principles Maintainer instantly allocated a portion of its computing resources to assist Hermes.
"1 point of legend is still a bit too little; fully deciphering all its mysteries won't happen in a short time..."
After about half an hour, Su Mo regretfully paused, moving the research sequence to a later slot.
Temporarily setting aside the research on legend, Su Mo shifted his focus, "Let's first look at the effect of the source of instances."
"Body 강화!"
He took out 1 unit of the source of instances and casually slapped it.
Immediately.
The source of instances, following his will, transformed into surging vitality, flowing into his body.
Then, Su Mo smacked his lips, feeling it had no particular taste.
He took out all the remaining source of instances and poured them all in.
Instantly.
The physique of this avatar began to increase at a visible rate.
His skin became tougher, his bones made faint cracking sounds, and the vital energy and blood in his body began to thicken... "This effect..."
Su Mo let out a slight exclamation.
What an omnipotent power?
Su Mo had a feeling that if he could thoroughly research this power, the refinement of his honkai: star rail version of the philosophers stone would undoubtedly be even more perfect, achieving a qualitative leap.
"However, more samples are needed."
Finally, his gaze settled on three talismans – Random Troop Summoning Talisman.
Without any hesitation, Su Mo grabbed these three summoning talismans.
Instinctively, he already understood how to use the summoning talismans.
Without any hesitation, he directly chose to summon troops.
Soon, from a high-dimensional perspective, countless bright or dim starlight appeared before his eyes.
If it were an ordinary person, they would truly only be able to randomize.
But at critical moments, the excellent strategy level of a cheating player always shines through.
"It's you three!"
Su Mo casually grabbed, the light dispersed, and three cavalrymen riding tall horses appeared before him.
The three were startled at first, then quickly understood everything, dismounting in unison.
Coming before Su Mo, they knelt on one knee and respectfully said, "My Lord!"
"Do you have names?"
"Reporting to My Lord, according to the information that appeared in our minds, we are just the most ordinary cavalrymen and do not have innate names bestowed upon us."
"I see."
Su Mo nodded slightly; in other words, these guys were just extras, unrelated to hero templates or legendary generals.
This was also normal.
What he received were ordinary random troop summoning talismans, not hero summoning talismans.
Having three cavalrymen was already the result of his cheating.
For ordinary people summoning, the highest probability would likely be a few emaciated militiamen.
"From now on, you shall be called Su Long."
Su Mo pointed to the burly man with the strongest aura and most robust physique.
"Thank you, My Lord, for bestowing a name!"
"As for you, with the aura of a fierce tiger, you shall be called Su Hu!"
"Thank you, My Lord, for bestowing a name!"
"Finally, you have the appearance of a running wolf, so you shall be called Su Lang!"
"Thank you, My Lord, for bestowing a name!"
Looking at the three respectful men, Su Mo nodded in satisfaction.
There was nothing wrong with being an extra; as his initial subordinates, they would surely be cultivated into legendary generals renowned throughout the Han dynasty in the future.
He had no obsession with collecting famous generals; it would be troublesome and might not even compare to these three ordinary characters before him.
"Now, immediately follow my instructions and build an altar for me."
"I want to perform a sacrifice to heaven!"
"Yes, My Lord!"
Watching the three Su family cavalrymen quickly set to work, Su Mo nodded in satisfaction, then casually found a spot and began to refine the plan he had just outlined.
No one would think that he, having come to the Yellow Turban Rebellion instance, would honestly recruit historical generals all the way, then have a Sleeping Dragon on his left and a Phoenix Fledgling on his right, then engage in battles of wits and courage with other warlords, ultimately leading to a struggle for supremacy in a chaotic world, right?
Geniuses have their own ways of strategizing.
After initially understanding the cultivation system of this world, Su Mo had a flash of inspiration and felt it was time to start causing trouble!
