Yang Hao checked his Qi Yun Gong De value and directly instructed the system. The Holy Court’s foundation was laid, and the next step was to promote the Holy Court. As the master of the Great Han, it was time to take another step forward!
In reality, it was because his Qi Yun Gong De value was insufficient. If it were enough, Yang Hao’s original intention was to directly increase his own cultivation level and promote all his summoned heroes by four small realms.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully deducting eight billion Qi Yun Gong De value, sending all summoned soldiers from the eleven legions into the barracks for cultivation. Upon completion of cultivation, the realm of the summoned soldiers will be elevated to the realm of top-tier Small Heavenly Venerate!”
“System, deduct two chances for summoning peerless heroes, and summon ancient heroes!”
“Ding! Reminding the host, one chance for summoning peerless heroes has been successfully deducted!”
“Ding! Commencing the summoning of ancient heroes!”
“Weng~~”
A golden river, streaked across the void deep within the soul sea. The river of history opened, and as flags passed by in the river, it moved from the Spring and Autumn period step by step to the Great Tang. The river surged, and famous heroes flashed across the firmament in the void!
At this moment, a golden figure on the river flashed and rushed into the fourth level of the Reincarnation Xuan Huang Pagoda.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully summoning a peerless general from the river of history – the Iron Spear General – Heavenly King Deng!!”
Upon seeing the displayed information, Yang Hao was not surprised at all. The moment he had summoned the colossal behemoth some days ago, he knew that this mighty general’s appearance was not far off.
Heavenly King Deng!
In the novel, he was the foremost fierce general under Huang Chao, known as the second strongest in the world!
In the novel, Heavenly King Deng learned the Xiang family’s Overlord Spear technique. It is worth noting that this person was also the tallest hero among the many in the novel, being one zhang taller than the colossal behemoth who stood four zhang tall!
He challenged Li Cunxiao twice, and was the only hero in the novel who could last one round against Li Cunxiao in his healthy state – a peerless warrior!
Just by surviving one round against Li Cunxiao in his healthy state, it was no exaggeration to say that Heavenly King Deng was firmly ranked second in the world in the novel!
“View detailed information of the Iron Spear King – Heavenly King Deng!”
“Name: Deng Zhong”
“Nickname: Heavenly King Deng”
“Dynasty: Late Tang Dynasty”
“Cultivation: Immortal King First Layer!”
“Cultivation Technique: Overlord Spear Art!”
“Accompanying Troop Type: Top-tier Troop Type – One hundred thousand elite soldiers!”
Experience: Heavenly King Deng’s first appearance was to confront Song Zhen, who was guarding Tong Pass. At that time, Song Zhen and Li Mao were both fierce generals in the late Tang army, and their strength was no weaker than Li Keyong’s Twelve Imperial Protectors. Before Tong Pass, a giant emerged from the Huang Chao army, wielding his zhang eight朝天槊 and attacked. Within two moves, he had already sent the fierce general Song Zhen of Tong Pass tumbling down.
This person was the Iron Spear General, Heavenly King Deng!
With his exceptional martial arts skills, Deng Tianwang, wielding his zhang eight朝天槊, became one of the twelve among the Sixteen Fierce Generals of the Late Tang.
Deng Tianwang’s real name was Deng Zhong. His most prominent characteristic was his immense height. He was given the nickname Heavenly King Deng, which became increasingly famous, eventually replacing his original title. When the ambitious Huang Chao appeared, Deng Zhong, along with Ge Congzhou, Meng Juehai, and Zhang Guiba, became his capable generals. After Huang Chao established the Great Qi Kingdom, Heavenly King Deng became one of the Five Tiger Generals of the Great Qi Kingdom.
Later, when the Tang army attacked the Great Qi, Deng Tianwang, who was escorting supplies, returned to the camp and, taking up his great spear, led his troops out to meet the enemy. He saw a lean Li Cunxiao. At this moment, Li Cunxiao swung his Yu King’s divine spear and struck. Heavenly King Deng raised his zhang eight朝天槊 to block, but his weapon was directly sent flying, and his warhorse was also crushed.
Having narrowly escaped death, Deng Tianwang returned to his camp and diligently practiced martial arts and increased his strength daily. After more than a year, his martial arts had improved significantly, and he believed he was no less than Li Cunxiao. He then reappeared, and not long after, encountered Li Cunxiao in his healthy state. The two fought for several rounds. Li Cunxiao used eighty percent of his strength, knocking down Heavenly King Deng and his horse. His zhang eight朝天槊 was also bent. Subsequently, Heavenly King Deng died at the hands of the Flying Tiger Army.
“System, continue summoning heroes!”
“Ding! One hero summoning chance has been successfully deducted, commencing the summoning of ancient heroes!”
“Weng~~”
The river of history once again surged in the depths of Yang Hao’s soul sea. The scroll of history unfurled from the Spring and Autumn period, and as flags passed by on the river, it transitioned to the flourishing Tang Dynasty!
On the seventh level of the Reincarnation Xuan Huang Pagoda, a golden carved figure instantly lit up. At this moment, in the void behind the Reincarnation Xuan Huang Pagoda, a figure strode forth from the river of history!
The figure was clad in bloody armor, riding a warhorse, and wielding a horse spear. As this figure appeared, the sky was filled with flying yellow sand. The figure instantly rushed into the fourth level of the Reincarnation Xuan Huang Pagoda and stood on the golden river.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully summoning a peerless famous general from the river of history, the famous Tang Dynasty general – Wang Zhongsi!”
Wang Zhongsi!
The Four Frontier Military Governors!
Some even praised him as the God of War of the flourishing Tang, who subdued thirty-six tribes of the Khitan and defeated the Tubo, with outstanding merits!
Some records also state that Wang Zhongsi predicted that An Lushan would rebel in the future.
“View detailed information of the famous Tang Dynasty general – Wang Zhongsi!”
“Name: Wang Zhongsi”
“Alias: Wang Xun”
“Dynasty: Tang Dynasty period”
“Cultivation: Immortal King Fourth Layer!”
“Cultivation Technique: Tai Chi Battle Spear Art!”
“Accompanying Troop Type: Top-tier Troop Type – One hundred thousand Tang Dynasty elites!”
Experience: Wang Zhongsi’s original name was Wang Xun. His father was Wang Haibin, who died in battle in July of the second year of Kaiyuan when Tubo invaded Longyou.
Wang Xun, who was only nine years old at the time, was appointed as Shang Yan Feng Yu. He entered the imperial palace to pay respects to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, weeping profusely. Emperor Xuanzong comforted him, bestowed upon him the name “Zhongsi,” and raised him in the palace.
After Wang Zhongsi came of age, he was brave and resolute, taciturn, and possessed great strategic military talent. Emperor Xuanzong often discussed military strategy with him, and Wang Zhongsi answered fluently, earning Emperor Xuanzong’s deep respect. The emperor even said that he would become a capable general in the future!
In the twenty-first year of Kaiyuan, Wang Zhongsi requested to lead several hundred elite soldiers to raid the enemy. At that time, the Tubo Zanpu was training troops at Yu Biao River. Wang Zhongsi charged into the enemy formation with his saber, killing several thousand people and capturing tens of thousands of sheep and horses.
Soon after, Tubo launched a large-scale attack, preparing to avenge the defeat at Xincheng. The Tubo army advanced towards the Tang army’s garrison. The Tang army was outnumbered, and the morale of the entire army was low and filled with fear. Only Wang Zhongsi, riding alone, charged into the enemy formation, striking left and right, killing hundreds of people by himself. The Tubo army panicked and trampled each other, while the Tang army attacked from the flank, routing the Tubo army. Due to his outstanding military achievements, he was appointed General of the Left Jinwu Guard.
In the first year of Tianbao, Wang Zhongsi concurrently served as the Governor of Lingzhou. He fought against Xi Nu and others at the Sanggan River, achieving victory in all three battles, defeating him three times and capturing a large number of his men and horses, marching triumphantly into the northern desert and returning victorious.
