Chapter 1756: Chapter 1754: Martial Artist

"Very well, a reward of a thousand crystal coins!" Count Captain might have wanted to encourage everyone, so he directly rewarded Peter Brown.

He brought his crystal card together with Peter’s and after entering the amount, a thousand crystal coins were transferred into Peter’s crystal card.

Seeing this, Peter also felt a bit amused; everything here was so primitive, yet payments via the crystal cards were so convenient.

"Thank You, Milord." Peter still gave him respect.

With a laugh, the Count Captain said, "Alright everyone, adjust your breathing for a bit, the battles to come will be even fiercer." Having said this, the Count Captain had already left.

At that time, everyone didn’t say anything, each sitting cross-legged, adjusting their breaths, understanding the situation they faced; no one could predict whether they would survive or not.

Peter leaned against the city wall and also sat down cross-legged.

However, just as Peter had just sat down, a force from the Horizon Sky surged into his body.

As this energy entered him, Peter felt his entire body shake, and his cultivation had advanced to the Martial Artist Level.

How strange!

Looking towards his Brain Domain, the scale bar had emptied again; currently, all three bars were empty. However, observing his own cultivation, it was clear that it had now reached the Martial Artist Level, breaking through the barrier that had held him back.

Had he upgraded just like this?

Peter himself felt an inexplicable sensation; he hadn’t expected that the upgrade would come so swiftly.

Closely examining his cultivation’s core below the navel, Peter noted that the ten dragons there now appeared much more vigorous; each dragon’s color had significantly changed from before.

For a moment, Peter could not discern any specific changes; only that he felt the ten dragons had matured, requiring more energy from him.

Right, what exactly was that Heavenly Reward about?

"Congratulations, to think you received the Heavenly Reward after just one battle, advancing your cultivation."

Hearing the voice, Peter opened his eyes and looked around; a few people beside him were looking at him, clearly envious.

"Greetings everyone." Peter greeted them with a bow of his hands.

"Let’s forego formalities, just chat casually. No one knows what the next battle will hold. We all are in cannon fodder status, but Peter here has some luck, being able to advance to Martial Artist Level at this crucial moment increases his chances of survival significantly."

"Indeed, Heavenly Rewards are the most unpredictable, many have trained hard their entire lives, yet Heavenly Rewards are few and far between, preventing them from advancing."

"It really is strange, what exactly are the criteria for Heavenly Rewards? This is the most nonsensical part; I have filled two kinds of scale bars, yet the bar for Heavenly Rewards never appears. Otherwise, I’d be at the Martial Master Level."

Peter was also curious, "Does everyone really not know how the Heavenly Rewards come about?"

"Yes, nobody has a clear understanding, but I can see clearly now, today you might be just at the Warrior Level, but fighting bravely, the enemies that fell under your arrows must be no less than twenty, that’s more than double the basic requirement. That’s one reason, another reason is that in one fell swoop you killed one of their generals, that’s not just some minor merit."

Another person added, "Killing a general doesn’t usually bring so many rewards; I think the main reason is that after you killed that general, the enemy retreated, essentially altering the course of this siege battle. That’s probably why the massive rewards came."

"Exactly, I think that’s it."

Everyone discussed the situation of Peter receiving his rewards.

When Peter Brown thought carefully about the situation everyone had mentioned, he could not deny that it indeed was just that.

Perhaps, to receive a significant Heavenly Reward, one needed to undertake tasks that affected the larger environment.

Peter felt he had found a direction.

As he looked toward the Count Captain, his eyes brightened, and indeed he saw that the Count Captain seemed to have mentioned an upgrade in cultivation.

General Level!

At this moment, the Count Captain was exuding a powerful aura.

If that was the case, could controlling an army and using its power to change the course of war significantly elevate his cultivation?

The more Peter thought about it, the more he felt that it was indeed a possibility. No wonder everyone hoped to ignite the flames of war—amidst chaos, there would be more opportunities.

He had some direction now, but for him, what he needed to do now was to further upgrade his cultivation.

When he glanced in the direction of the Count Captain, Peter saw the Count Captain descending the City Tower with some people.

Looking outside, Peter felt a peculiar premonition, as if the Count Captain was about to flee.

Would he really leave?

No matter, the priority was to elevate his own cultivation first.

After entering the Martial Artist Level, what Peter needed to do was to fill those two scales first.

Looking at the situation below the navel, Peter knew he currently had the Strength of Ten Dragons, but to reach the Martial Master Level, he needed the Strength of a Hundred Dragons—a far from ordinary acquisition of energy, which required much more energy.

How on earth could he acquire that energy?

As Peter looked outside the city again and saw the continuous camps, he realized that perhaps he needed to rely on those enemies.

The enemy had clearly halted their offensive after losing a general and had not attacked since then.

Peter turned to someone beside him and said, "We don’t have any reinforcements?"

The person at the Martial Artist Level sighed and said, "I really don’t know if there are reinforcements, but I’ve heard that many county towns have fallen. Take care of yourself, lad. We don’t know if we can survive the next battle."

"Bad news, the Count Captain has led a few people out through a tunnel."

Just then, a voice came through.

Hearing this voice and considering the seriousness of the content, everyone’s faces changed.

"Damn the Count Captain, he broke through his cultivation using this battle, and as soon as he broke through, he fled. What are we supposed to do now that he has run?"

Instantly, the entire city defense army lost its leader, and everyone’s faces turned grim.

Although Peter had guessed that such a thing might happen, he had not anticipated that it would develop so quickly. The Count Captain clearly had been well-prepared, and by his scheming, he was likely far away by now.

"Everyone, what should we do now?" someone was already asking aloud.
