I Have A Martial Dao World

The news of the Allied Forces' disastrous defeat at Gukou stirred up an uproar.

In Blue Star's similar battles, the great powers suffered only 500 casualties. But in the Otherworld, Lu Yao's intervention led to the total annihilation of the forces!

Einheit is the current global hegemon, ruling the seas and known as the "Empire of the Eternal Sun".

Now facing such an outcome, if it weren't for its subordinate Menes following with a single ship, even the fleet commander would have fed the fish.

The seas of the Otherworld are filled with many terrifying sea monsters; without the ironclad ships, even high-ranking vampires falling in would likely face certain doom.

Domestic elites clamored to "exert severe retribution on the Shun Dynasty, burn down the Imperial City", and even incited Queen Victoria to dispatch duke-level vampire elites to make the Shun Dynasty submit completely, thus securing their interests.

But after just two days, the clamor ceased, as they suddenly realized: compared to the Shun Dynasty, there was an even more formidable enemy - Jiade.

The world's colonies had been completely divided, and for a rising power like Jiade to make its mark, it had to challenge the established powers.

And the use of advanced heavy artillery by the Shun Dynasty in this battle indicated that Jiade was already doing just that.

Coincidentally, after winning at Gukou, the Imperial Court also wanted to cease hostilities and make peace, in order to focus on dealing with the Dacheng Sect.

Thus, both sides quickly signed a new "Treaty of Tianjin" that both could accept.

~~~~~~~~

[Open ports; allow missionaries to build churches in each prefecture government; indemnify 80,000 taels of silver…]

The three people were on their way home, passing through the State City when they bought a newspaper and saw the news of the Imperial Court signing the treaty and negotiating peace.

Liao Ya breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Although a treaty was still signed, thankfully the condition of 'blood food for a hundred thousand' was removed."

"Yes, it's already pretty good..." Lu Yao recalled the terrible state of Blue Star at that time - the Imperial City was lost, a royal garden was vandalized and looted.

This time, the flames of war stopped at the coast and did not spread to the Imperial City or Jinmen, invisibly saving many lives.

"To some extent... I've also changed the course of history. It wasn't a wasted trip."

Lu Yao played with Liao Qe's fair feet while driving, as she comfortably reclined.

Liao Ya in the back didn't care about her sister's manners, crunching on a bag of chips.

The three of them looked like they were on a trip, not at all like they had just come from a battlefield.

At that moment, a piercing cry came from the sky.

Lu Yao extended his arm out of the car window, and a wholly white Spiritual Sparrowhawk landed on it, Ping An indeed.

Ping An nuzzled his owner with his neck, then began preening his feathers.

The other two Spiritual Sparrowhawks also swiftly descended, caught by the stretched arms of the sisters.

The three little creatures had grown strong thanks to the costly investment, already full-feathered. With a sharp gaze and agile movements, they had an air of "aerial adventurers".

In Blue Star, oil tycoons would be willing to spend millions to obtain them! Falconry is a symbol of fashion, wealth, and status in both worlds.

Lu Yao teased Ping An a bit and said, "They've already learned to fly; next is training their hunting skills."

For birds of prey, "flying" is only like a person learning to walk; real training is just beginning, as the techniques of aerial combat are of utmost importance.

However, this wasn't difficult. Though called training, in reality, it was only necessary to guide them to awaken the ancient instincts within their bloodline.

Falcons are naturally superior in flight skills among their kind. Their diet mostly consists of birds larger than themselves, which they elegantly and swiftly kill in midair using their superb flying abilities.

At this moment, the road ahead was blocked by a caravan of camels, belonging to merchants from the north. Passing a creek, the camels couldn't resist lowering their heads to drink, and with over a hundred of them, they blocked the road completely.

The caravan leader, seeing Lu Yao's carriage from afar, quickly drove the animals forward, not daring to offend a noble.

Seeing this, Lu Yao decided to simply turn the carriage around: "Yuntai Mountain is just beside us. Let's go up the mountain to train the falcons instead of competing with the caravan for the road."

~~~~~~~

Yuntai Mountain's highest peak rose over 600 meters, and the three climbed to the summit in just a few minutes.

Lu Yao took out a Wisdom Spirit Pill that the babies loved most. They immediately gathered around, pecking at it, but he kept dodging, refusing to let them have it.

The three Spiritual Sparrowhawks perched on their master's body, frantically squawking, as Lu Yao found a roll of tape and wound the Wisdom Spirit Pill on his left arm.

Deliberately making a round so the falcons could see, he then ran down the mountain cliff, calling them to chase as he went.

The three Spiritual Sparrowhawks, being very spiritual, immediately realized their master was playing a game with them and flapped their wings to give chase.

Lu Yao ran faster and faster between the mountain cliffs. Rugged rocks and winding trees were quickly left behind, and his speed soon reached 80 kilometers per hour.

But the falcons, with their perfect aerodynamics, accelerated to 150 kilometers per hour in just one second!

Birds of prey are incomparable in speed to any land-dwelling creature. They quickly caught up behind Lu Yao, almost snatching the spirit pill!

Lu Yao snorted through his nostrils and, in a flurry of kicks, bounced off rocks and trees, not only increasing his speed drastically but also running in a zigzag pattern!

The three Spiritual Sparrowhawks kept adjusting their flying postures using their wings and tails, nimbly maneuvering in pursuit, firmly locking onto Lu Yao's form.

The more Lu Yao ran, the more invigorated he felt, dodging the falcons' attacks from time to time to prevent them from easily grabbing the pill.

A man and three falcons chasing and fleeing; very quickly, the three falcons mastered the "dive" technique without any guidance.

They no longer flapped their wings in relentless pursuit but instead flew high into the sky, tucking in their wings like arrows before plunging sharply down!

This diving move was the most lethal skill of the falcons, reaching speeds of 350 kilometers per hour, like lightning slashing through the sky, aiming straight for Lu Yao.

Lu Yao let out a long howl and activated the "Spiritual Cat Stance," shifting half a meter in midair, narrowly avoiding the strike.

But the three falcons' diving technique became more proficient with every attempt, their speed increasing steadily. They also slowly mastered the method of coordination, launching wave after wave of attacks, giving Lu Yao no chance to breathe.

The game became thrilling. Lu Yao exerted every last bit of his skill to dash through the mountain cliffs, his entire body like a car with the gas pedal floored, pushing his speed to the limit!

The howling mountain wind whistled past his ears, and the tree branches in the mountains trembled in the fierce gusts. Eventually, as Lu Yao leapt to avoid a falling camphor tree, Ping An seized the moment and dove down swiftly, elegantly snatching the Wisdom Spirit Pill with its talons.

Ji Xiang and Ru Yi hurried to snatch it away, but Ping An had already gulped it down, proudly flapping its wings in triumph.

Lu Yao gave a thumbs-up to Ping An and scratched its neck as a sign of praise.

Though he hadn't used the Spirit Refining State himself, it was still remarkable that the falcons, on their first training session, had forced him, an Organ Refining Martial Artist, to use all his tricks.

Indeed, born in the high mountains and Arctic, it was no wonder that these spirits had been highly sought after since ancient times.

Drenched in sweat, Lu Yao had run with great enjoyment, feeling an unprecedented exhilaration. He couldn't help but let out a long howl, its echo wandering back and forth through the valley.
