“Nine Calamity Thunder Prison Visualization…”

Mu Chen’s eyes slowly opened, and the thunder in his mind seemed not to have completely disappeared. Then, the ancient thunder script was imprinted on his mind like a brand.

Although he did not take a closer look at the so-called, “Nine Calamity Thunder Prison Visualization,” for some reason, he was able to faintly feel a sense of rage and oppression in his mind.

Such a technique was bound to be unusual.

When Mu Chen opened his eyes, the Sky Array Emperor looked at him in amazement and then slowly said, “I didn’t expect you to have such a high degree of compatibility with it.”

“Master, what are the origins of the Nine Calamity Thunder Prison Visualization?” Mu Chen asked curiously. Judging from the Sky Array Emperor’s reactions, it seemed that this technique had a marvellous origin.

“The Nine Calamity Thunder Prison Visualization was left behind by the Nine Calamity Battle Emperor in the ancient times.” The Sky Array Emperor smiled. Though his voice was still calm, Mu Chen could see that there were some peculiar fluctuations in his voice when he talked about the Nine Calamity Battle Emperor. There seemed to be a kind of reverence in his tone.

“Nine Calamity Battle Emperor?”

Mu Chen was shocked by the prestigious title and was immediately embarrassed, because he did not know who this elder was. Could he also be a war troop dispatcher?

“The Nine Calamity Battle Emperor is a legendary war troop dispatcher who could reach the rank of Ten Million Runes in ancient times,” The Sky Array Emperor said slowly. His eyes were full of yearning when he mentioned the three words, “Ten Million Runes.”

“Ten Million Runes?”

However, Mu Chen did not understand his yearning at all and had a headache because he found that he was completely unfamiliar with the terminology that belonged to the war troop dispatcher. What in the world was a rank of Ten Million Runes?

“Looks like you are really an ignorant youth who knows nothing about being a war troop dispatcher.”

The Sky Array Emperor saw how bewildered Mu Chen was and was also a little speechless. He could only shake his head exasperatedly. He said, “Since you can condense the Spirit of Fighting Intent, then you should also understand that the strength of the Spirit of Fighting Intent has obvious differences in class, right?”

Mu Chen hesitated before asking tentatively, “Does it differ in the number of battle runes?”

He did not know anything about being a war troop dispatcher, but after all, he had successfully condensed the Spirit of Fighting Intent for the five armies and was aware of it. It seemed that the more battle runes there were, the more powerful the Spirit of Fighting Intent would be.

The Sky Array Emperor nodded and said, “In ancient times, the number of battle runes was used to distinguish between grades of war troop dispatchers. They were differentiated into four grades, 10,000 Runes War Troop Dispatcher, 100,000 Runes War Troop Dispatcher division, Million Runes War Troop Dispatcher, and Ten Million Runes War Troop Dispatcher.”

When Mu Chen heard the distinction of ranks, his lips twitched. The war troop dispatchers were lazy enough that even the hierarchy was so roughly aggregated and straight to the point.

However, although the grades were so rough and simple, Mu Chen had to admit that it was very easy to visualize.

“However, the number of battle runes does not merely refer to the sum of the number of battle runes on the soldiers, but the integration of fighting intent, thus condensing the battle runes,” the Sky Array Emperor explained.

Mu Chen was startled and instantly realized it was like how when he had been in control of five armies, each of the Spirits of Fighting Intent had thousands of battle runes, which if added up, would have exceeded 10,000, but that did not mean that he had reached the rank of the 10,000 Runes War Troop Dispatcher, unless he could condense the fighting intent of the five armies into one Spirit of Fighting Intent. If this Spirit of Fighting Intent possessed tens of thousands of battle runes, then he could be regarded as a true 10,000 Runes War Troop Dispatcher.

“It is more difficult to condense battle runes the further you advance.” Beside him, Zhantai Liuli said softly, “The Liuli Army I command has 30,000 battle runes, but the battle runes I can condense adds up to only about 9,000, and there is still some distance from attaining 10,000 battle runes.”

Here, a touch of self-confidence flitted across Zhantai Liuli’s beautiful face, and she laughed. “But that’s because of the limitations of my mind power. After I cultivate the Technique of Mind Power that Master has left me, it should not be difficult for me to attain the rank of a 10,000 Runes War Troop Dispatcher.”

When he took control of the Nine Nether Troops, only 4,000 battle runes could be condensed with 5,000 soldiers, while Zhantai Liuli, with 30,000 soldiers in the Liuli Army, could only condense 9,000 battle runes, which showed that the larger the number of battle runes, the more difficult it would be to condense.

However, according to Mu Chen’s estimates, if he could control an army as powerful as the Liuli Army, he might be able to condense 10,000 battle runes, because he could see that his mind power, perhaps due to him being a Spiritual Array Master, was stronger than Zhantai Liuli’s.

“The condensing and refinement of the battle runes depends on two factors. One is the quantity and quality of the army, and the other is the strength of your own mind power.”

The Sky Array Emperor continued to explain to Mu Chen, an ignorant youth who knew nothing about the war troop dispatcher. “The army represents the fighting intent, which is indispensable to a war troop dispatcher. The fighting intent is the fundamental foundation to condense the battle runes, and the strength of the mind power represents whether you can make full use of the fighting intent.”
