Ultimate Martial Army

The soldiers of the Ultimate Martial Army were incredible soldiers, far surpassing ordinary elites in every aspect, including power, defense, speed, and agility. More importantly, they could harness the strength of their comrades to employ a formation. This formation would link everyone in its range together, not only boosting their strength but also using the formation’s power to distribute the attacks received by any one soldier across the entire army. This made it so that each person’s injuries were minimized.

In this aspect, it was actually extremely similar to Dayan Mangban’s Great Bon Formation. The Ultimate Martial Army’s formation was different in that once the formation was activated, it could continuously absorb the worldly Origin Energy in a radius of one hundred li. This Origin Energy would flow into the array and increase the rate at which the soldiers within recovered their Stellar Energy.

Any army that had the assistance of the Ultimate Martial Army would receive an enormous boost in strength, and would also be able to fight for much longer periods.

Several hundred years ago in Taizong’s era, this Ultimate Martial Army had been one of the most dazzling elite forces under Taizong’s command. But as time passed, the harshness of the Ultimate Martial Army’s training caused this legendary army to fade from the Great Tang.

But Wang Chong knew that the legacy of the Ultimate Martial Army survived within the capital. There weren’t many of these soldiers—two to three thousand. They could be considered the last of the Ultimate Martial Army’s bloodline in this world.

The capital was home to many great clans, and one of them was the house of the Duke of E. Its ancestor was one of the founding ministers of the Great Tang, and the house had persisted for three generations. However, in the era of the Sage Emperor, the clan had gradually declined, losing the luster of its forefathers. The clan itself lacked any outstanding talents and was very low-key in its conduct, so almost no one in the capital paid it any attention.

But Wang Chong knew that this clan was far more powerful than most imagined. A true venerable senior lived within the estate of the Duke of E. This venerable senior had lived through four Emperors and was almost of the same generation as Su Zhengchen. However, just like Su Zhengchen, he had retired into seclusion long ago and the outside world believed him to be dead.

Under the guidance of that venerable senior, the Duke of E’s Estate had spent nearly one hundred years on a single task: searching the world for excellent children to be trained in the ways of the Ultimate Martial Army so that its lineage would continue to survive.

But the requirements for the Ultimate Martial Army were far too high and the training was extremely difficult. Thus, up until now, the Duke of E’s Estate had only managed to train two to three thousand such soldiers. Moreover, the Duke of E’s estate had never shown this army to anyone, nor did it ever lend it out. In normal circumstances, it would essentially be impossible to borrow the strength of this powerful army.

Yet Wang Chong also knew that this was not because the Duke of E was harsh or stingy, but because the estate was thinking of what was the best for the world. It hoped that this force would be used for the sake of the country and not for the sake of those with selfish intentions. To guard against the private goals and ambitions of others, the Duke of E’s estate preferred to keep this army hidden. (Ch. 1043)

The Ultimate Martial Army had restrained its aura as it stood in the rear, making it appear no different from the other armies.

But once it entered the field, it seemed to become a completely different army. These soldiers were as swift as the wind but had as much weight as a mountain. Each one of them was a storm in human form. All that was visible was the flickering light of their swords while the clashing of weapons rang out incessantly in everyone’s ears.

In terms of speed, strength, agility, and fighting techniques… this Ultimate Martial Army displayed a high level of proficiency. The fighting style employed by these soldiers was perhaps not the most efficient for killing a foe, but it was upright, honest, and imbued with an unstoppable momentum.

Moreover, their techniques were extremely tight and close, presenting no flaw to their foes. No matter how crafty the angle, how fierce the method, or how swift the speed, the Ultimate Martial Army soldiers would always be able to use a simple and obvious method to block these attacks, and even launch a counterattack.

## Halo

**Ultimate Martial Halo** - chapter 1081

This was the halo for which the Ultimate Martial Army was famed. The purpose of this halo was not to increase strength, but to increase the speed at which soldiers could recover Origin Energy and Stellar Energy while in battle, as well as the speed at which energy and blood flowed through the body. It also increased the body’s physical strength and endurance.

This halo allowed the army to have more explosive bursts of strength, but also endure for longer.
