Shameless Great Marshal

Then, at a reclused tent at the corner of the camp, a youngster suddenly felt a cold breath pa.s.s by his neck. It was Bao Qiang.

Rapidly getting up, he almost had a heart attack after seeing what was cooling his neck. It was a bright-white spectrum of an old man. Although the apparent age, the figure gave off a powerful aura and a mighty disposition.

" BOO... "

After calming down and observing the obvious teasing, Bao furiously drew his loyal blade and cut the ghost multiple times. However, it was useless.

" Now tell me brat, are you really trying to kill me as a ghost with my own sword? "

Upon hearing what the ghost said, Bao Qiang was taken back. Now that he observed attentively, the white figure really resembled the old paintings of his ancestor, the Great General Bao Ling.

Rapidly, he threw himself down and bowed his forehead to the ground.

" Oh mighty Ancestor Ling, please have mercy of this little one for stealing your precious sword! It was just that I thought you would not need it anymore... "

" Please have mercy, since this small descendant of your"s always dedicated all his will to the way of war and for the peace of the kingdom! "

Hearing Bao"s word, the ghost almost died a second time as he laughed at the shamelessness of this descendant of his. After a while, he finally came to a stop.

" My son, do you really think that as a ghost, I can only fly freely around the world? You should know that powerful ghosts like myself can even read the mind and memories of normal mortals like you. "

Hearing such words, Bao"s heart fell in an abysm of desperation. He was probably the most worthless descendant this old fog ever had. From what it looks, today would be his last day among the living. Yet, he did not give up.

" Oh, my glorious great Ancestor! Your might knows no limits and all the men under the Heavens bow their head before you majestic presence! Please have mercy of this humble subject, since he did not lie out of a malicious heart... "

However, the white ghost suddenly interrupted him in the middle of his divine flattering display.

" Alright, alright, cut that c.r.a.p already. Now tell me, why should I be disappointed in you? From what I saw in your memories, you"re my only live descendant that really follows my way of life, my grand philosophy of the Dao! "

" I always did what my heart told me to, like a free demon throughout life! And so did you! For example, you dared make that s.h.i.tty descendant of the Hui Clan a cuckold when n.o.body did! And best, you did it without being caught! "

" The only thing you lack is a firm training in the martial arts. For the rest, your Martial Heart couldn"t be better. "

Relieved from the elder"s words, Bao Qiang finally calmed down and even felt quite surprised about his ancestor"s praise. Then, curiosity filled his heart.

" Hey, Ancestor Ling... since you claim to have lived in such way, could you tell me one of your shameless deeds so that I can enlighten myself on the Path of Vagrancy? "

" Okay! Very well... I don"t know if such information pa.s.sed on down history, but have you ever heard of Fen Chang, the Kingdon"s Heavenly Fairy? "

Searching through his mind for a while, a l.u.s.ter appeared on Bao"s eyes.

" Of course I do! If I not mistaken, she"s that beautiful woman on the painting of the main hall back at the Clan! "

" Exactly, that"s her! Well, let"s not go too deep in the matter and just say such woman was the fiancee of the Crown Prince back then. She was in her twenties but gave up on the t.i.tle of future Queen of the whole Kingdom for the chance to become this old daddy"s princ.i.p.al concubine overnight... Oh, I would have married her, but your Great Great Grandmother would"ve turned me into a eunuch. "

After that legendary tale, the two of them stared at each other and laughed at their heart"s content.

Oh, who would have thought that his ancestor was such an outstanding figure and even Royal Family suffered under his actions. For the first time in his life, Bao Qiang was genuinely proud of his lineage.

After some time, they finally came to a stop and once more became serious.

" From what I"ve been observing, tomorrow you"ll be heading to the north frontline, right? "

" Then I won"t lie to you... In your current condition, forget about becoming a Captain, even coming back alive will be a difficult mission. "

Falling in desperation once more, Bao Qiang began to sweet cold.

" But ancestor isn"t there anything you can help me with. I don"t know, maybe possessing my body during battle ou making the enemy commander commit suicide..."

" Hum... that"s not possible. You see, my soul is currently linked to that blade of yours, and possessing your body will take too much energy, placing me into a dormant state for an unknown amount of time. However, there truly is one solution, but it will be painful. "

Hearing the word "painful", a shiver went down Bao Qiang"s spine.

" Well, I think we should discuss the situation more propr..."

But before he could finish his phrase, a white flash entered his body. Seconds later, an awful pain speared through his body. It was like his internal organs were being torn into shreds.

Bao"s blood began to burn inside his vessels as all the muscles in his body burst up, becoming more apparent below the skin.

A black smelly substance began to come out of every pore of his body and the black suit seemed to shrink.

For some reason though, he simply could not scream, so the whole transformation occurred in silence.

The process went on for a long time until Bao"s pain finally came to an end with the white figure coming out from his chest.

" You old thing... you told me that possession wasn"t a possible option! "

Giving an evil smile, the old ghost immediately justified himself.

" That wasn"t a possession, weren"t you conscious during the whole process? Hahaha!"

" The only thing I did was to initiate that body of yours in the path of cultivation! Normally, only figures like General Chao and your father have contact with such techniques. However, the earliest you begin, the better! You should be thanking me for directly placing you in the Expert Realm without any real cultivation!"

As Bao heard the ghost boast about himself and his awesomeness, his mind slowly adapted to the new body. Flexing his arm, he felt the power hidden in his new muscles. With such and the long katana, slashing an enemy in two would be child"s play in the future.

" Alright! Although you entered the first realm, you need a cultivation technique to continue your path of cultivation. In the future, when you go back to the Capital, I shall pa.s.s to you the one I used to cultivate."

" It"s a book well hidden in the Clan"s main building. Now you should be thinking I should know it from memory, but I have to tell you: Its level is so high one can only learn if seeing the original book! "

" As for the time being, just adjust yourself to your body and prepare for the incoming battle. Now it"s time for this old Lord here take a nap. "

Saying so suddenly flashed to the dark blade.

" Wait! What about the fight? What if I need your help!? "

However, the old ghost just left one more message.

" I"ll only come out again at the Capital... or for the next descendant who finds the sword, so good luck! Hahaha! "

Seeing himself without options, Bao Qiang could only begin his training once more.

" This old fog! He"ll see when I get him out of this sword for good. "

As so, the night slowly pa.s.sed by in the camp with a silent sound of a blade cutting through the air.
