My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty-Chapter 474: Inky Abyss Spear

The End Weapon is for warfare! This is the way of the soldiers!

Chen Fan practiced and read, and his studies in Confucianism were never just from one perspective. "To learn from the myriad schools of thought and integrate their strengths is what scholars should do!" Gu Lan's words were always in Chen Fan's mind.

From the moment he stepped into Lanyan Royal School, Gu Lan became his lifelong goal. Naturally, he would not limit himself to just one school of thought and was always open to various teachings.

His techniques were never just theoretical. Given his love for military texts, it was only natural for him to employ military strategies. As soon as the word 'Martial Art' was invoked, a terrifying aura of slaughter enveloped the arena.

The black-armored soldiers, previously tossed aside by the flames, underwent a new transformation. They donned heavy black armor that radiated a heavy metallic sheen, and spectral warhorses appeared beneath them. They then charged towards the direction of the Flame Sword Array.

With each step, the black-armored soldiers grew larger. By the time their long spears clashed with the Flame Sword Array, their size was akin to giants, occupying most of the arena. A single charge from these giant soldiers obliterated the Flame Sword Array, and they themselves dissipated.

Only the word 'Martial Art' before Chen Fan remained, its brilliance slightly dimmed.

Seeing this outcome, Lu Bei's eyes revealed undisguised killing intent.

"Good! What a Confucian practitioner! Instead of cultivating the Righteous Qi of Confucianism, you focus on the martial killing aura. I underestimated you!" Lu Bei declared. "But now that those black-armored soldiers have dissipated, how many more times can you summon them? I can unleash my attack as many times as I want.

You have no chance of winning!"

As he spoke, Lu Bei took action again. This time, he used another divine ability, enveloping himself in flames with a huge fiery manifestation appearing behind him.

The fiery manifestation technique is the method through which Saint Stage cultivators can greatly enhance their strength. Lu Bei spoke of a war of attrition but was actually preparing a decisive blow. He was determined not to give his opponent even a slight chance.

Each time he spoke, it was to mislead his opponent. "The Fire Clan Holy Son is so sinister!" "Never trust a single word from this guy in the future!"

The cultivators below shook their heads and focused intently on the arena, eager to see how Chen Fan would respond—or if he could even respond. After all, everyone had seen that Chen Fan's consumption was greater than Lu Bei's after his recent divine ability.

Although the word 'Martial Art' still emitted a formidable killing aura, few in the audience understood military strategies and were unsure of its purpose. Neither the Lanyan Royal School members nor the spectators knew what to make of it.

Mo Li's response came as everyone turned to him. He shrugged. "Don't look at me. Chen Fan is keeping things hidden. I don't know how he will win."

"Win?"

"You mean Chen Fan will win?"

Hearing Mo Li's words, all Lanyan Royal School members became excited. Mo Li smiled and shook his head at his fellow disciples. "You still don't know enough. Among this year's disciples, Gu Lan is most optimistic about Chen Fan and often gives him special attention. If Chen Fan didn't have some hidden tricks, who would believe it?"

"I've already calculated that Chen Fan will defeat the Fire Clan Holy Son. Even if it's not easy, he will definitely win."

With that, Mo Li fell silent and focused intently on the arena. The other disciples also felt reassured. So far, the predictions made by the Celestial Mechanic Art had been generally accurate, and no major surprises were expected.

At this moment, no one noticed the figure appearing near Li Xiong among the Lanyan Royal School disciples. It was Gu Lan's avatar, who had arrived at the martial arts arena.

"Lord!" Li Xiong noticed and immediately began to bow, but Gu Lan stopped him.

"Continue watching the match. The next part will be very exciting. Once Chen Fan breaks through to the peak of Saint Stage, his divine ability should be very powerful."

Gu Lan transmitted his voice secretly, without disturbing anyone. Li Xiong nodded quickly, also filled with anticipation. A divine ability praised by the Lord must be very strong.

"Die!"

On the arena, Lu Bei had completed the fusion with his fiery manifestation. The giant fiery manifestation raised a flaming long sword, the blade wrapped in scorching waves of heat, and swung it directly at Chen Fan.

Facing such an attack, Chen Fan silently closed his eyes. The next moment, he suddenly opened them. The ink-black crown on Chen Fan's head fell, instantly forming a dark long spear. The previously dissipated black-armored soldiers reappeared as phantoms, charging from all directions and finally colliding into the word 'Martial Art'.

Each collision transformed the word 'Martial Art'. After all the soldiers had struck, the word 'Martial Art' had turned into a suit of armor. This armor exuded an incredibly intense killing aura and was black-red in color. It immediately flew towards Chen Fan and, in no time, enveloped him.

Everyone was stunned. They couldn't believe that the previously graceful Confucian practitioner had turned into a fierce armored warrior. Such a change was hard to accept.

What shocked them the most was Chen Fan's revealed aura—a terrifying killing aura as deep as an abyss, far beyond what one would expect from a peak Saint Stage cultivator. Even against the fused Lu Bei, Chen Fan still held his ground.

Clang!

The fiery long sword fell, and the black long spear met it. The clash produced a sound of metal ringing. Lu Bei hadn't expected Chen Fan to have such hidden abilities and didn't hold back at all. He continued to drive his manifestation to attack relentlessly.

However, despite the power of Lu Bei's fiery manifestation, it was cumbersome and had little effect on Chen Fan. In contrast, every strike of Chen Fan's spear landed precisely, inflicting substantial damage on Lu Bei's manifestation.

Moments later, Chen Fan's figure moved faster, almost becoming a black whirlwind. The long spear in his hand danced beautifully. Everyone was mesmerized, unable to believe that a Confucian practitioner could wield a spear to such an extent. Moreover, Chen Fan had never used a spear before this.

"Previously, Xiao Yan was the same—never used an emperor-tier weapon until he encountered the Cloud Clan."

"Now Chen Fan is the same. His spear is clearly an emperor-tier weapon, and using it has significantly increased his strength."

"These Lanyan Royal School disciples have hidden their abilities too well. They never reveal their trump cards until it's absolutely necessary!"
