War can turn a boy into a man!

Ancient Star Mortal Realm:

Ancient Battlefield.

A youth dressed in silver armor, completely covered in red, half kneeling, supported his body with a sword inserted into the ground.

The sword had tiny cracks all over, clearly it was on the verge of shattering. But it was able to support him.

His armor on the other end, was covered with dry blood stains, as though had not been cleaned for who knows how long.

Above his head, intense bloody aura was gathered, in the form of mist, with vague phantom holwing in the mist.

Just this alone served as intimidation making everyone on the battlefield keep distance,while enemies fearful.

Killing intent had accumulated all around him, with massive corpses of demons collapsed before him.

The blood on the ground had yet to dry, with the pressure from the corpses keeping off weaker devils.

Some distance from him, no creature below third heaven dared to approach.

"What the hell is the deal with this guy?" A soldier in a silver deformed armor, was trembling as he set his sight on Cheng Shan.

"What do you mean Si Yishui? Are you also afraid of the demon killer?" Another soldier in silver armor asked in a teasing tone.

"What fear could I possibly have? It's just that I have been thinking all this while that this guy must have a big secret."

"When we first entered this battlefield, this guy was very timid. In just a year I cans recognize him. His eyes have turned red, cold and lifeless."

Su Yishui complained to his companions as he looked towards Cheng Shan with envy.

"Hehe! So what! Do you think you can force him to share that secret? Haven't you realized no one is willing to bother this demon killer!"

"By the way, why are you telling us all of this? Don't tell me you want to make a move?" A man with a scar on his left cheek interjected in a sarcastic tone.

He looked at Si Yishui and could already tell he was overcome with jealuosy.

Si Yishui on the other hand, refuted the man's claims.

"Do you think I'm a fool Batros?"

Batros on the other hand, looked at him with scrutiny as he thought, "In the following missions on the battlefield, I have to stay away from this fool."

He then turned his head away from the grumbling Si Yishui.

Batros shifted his line of sight towards the figure covered by strong resentment.

They had all been on the battlefield, but a huge disparity was clear between them.

Just from the evil spirits gathered around the demon Killer Cheng Shan, even the solders that had been on the battlefield longer are intimidated.

"You of all people know that in just over a year his cultivation has been rising like a tide, and you still dare think of touching him? This Si Yishui must be crazy."

With the combat power displayed by the demon Killer Cheng Shan, let alone being exhausted, even if he was dying, Batros had no courage to make a move.

He didn't feel any regret for his actions, especially with their third heaven cultivation.

Distancing himself from the fool Si Yishui, Batros, motioned a few guys to follow him with his hand.

That was especially when he saw that some fools had fallen for Si Yishui's stupid words, their greed was almost leaking.

Batros said, "So Yishui, I'll scout the situation around us and see if we could get an advantage against some demons. I urgently need some contribution points."

Si Yishui was indeed far gone to be saved, "Whatever!"

He wasn't interested in what Batros was saying, as he had his sights on a bgger fish.

As he retreated with his men, he heard their conversation.

"He!he! Senior brother Hao was at the second heaven when he entered the battlefield. In the past year, he has made some contribution and managed to gather some recourse, but even so, he barely reached the peak of second heaven. If you could get the good things on that madman, isn't it like a fish in water."

Hao Lin, a burly man among the group, walked out and said,"I have investigated this Cheng Shan! A year back, he left the clan to join the army from the Cheng clan. He obviously has mediocre qualifications, or he would not have been let to come to this place. If he were to die on the battlefield for a greater good, perhaps it might be a good ending!"

When the group were discussing Cheng Shan, he felt malice as well as strong killing intent.

Cheng Shan half kneeling on the ground was only about a half a kilometre away, and could see the figures clearly.

Without hearing them, he could already tell they were up to no good.

The killing intent around him rioted, his eyes turned to look at the group.

"Hehe! Another group of ants want to shake the heavens!" He snorted coldly.

When Cheng Shan entered the battlefield a year back, he was indeed only at the first heaven.

But as cannon fodder on the battlefield, he barely survived three times, and as per the military, he was no longer required to act as cannon fodder.

But even so, he is required to kill a certain number of demons daily.

Having been at the edge of life and death and his life at mercy of others, he wanted to make himself stronger.

The three battles he might have survived, but it also the time he got an opportunity., and he didn't give it up. He also didn't report it in, after all he wasn't required to.

The oopportunity was why he was able to cultivate so fast in the past year.

At the beginning, he just thought it was some simple Sword finger technique that could improve his chances of survival.

But who knew, the more he used and practiced it, the simpler it became and stronger his body and spirit got.

The thing he was able to tell was that the more he killed using the finger technique the stronger he got.

Clearly this technique was something demonic, but he didn't even bat an eye to this.

To his shock, physical body managed to surpass those in first heaven in just a few weeks, and killing demons on the first heaven was a piece of cake.

An even more shocking discovery was that his speed of cultivating the technique he had taken from the military merit hall as a gift for entering the battlefield, looked simpler in his eyes.

In a just three months, he was able to rival third heaven humans with his Physique alone.

His practice of the Dragon Elephant technique also become simpler, as his stronger body seemed to be adapting to the technique.

But he knew that wasn't case, his strong body made it easier to see through what he might otherwise ignore.

Over the past months, his physical body has become terrifiying, and even so, he didn't use all his strength on the battlefield.

The reason was simple, strongee demons were present and going into a rampage might make him their target.

His physique at the moment, in fourth heaven can rival monsters at the peak of Fifth heaven.

Such combat power was just strong, but that wasn't the only thing as at the center of his brow, had a small sword shaped tattoo. It was completely dark red.

His spirit has been strengthened again too, and he felt his comprehension had been improved.

"I should be able to leapfrog and challange those in the sixth heaven! But there is no need for this. As long as I can be steady, my contribution points can be steadily accumulated."

"Perhaps it won't take long before I can take my mom and sister from the Cheng clan." Sheng Shan pushed this thought out of his mind, and stopped paying attention to the clowns.

"Let's ignore that Su Yishui for now." He restrained his killing intent fowards that guy.

"Let's just calm down. Once I reach the seventh Heaven, and accumulated enough merits, I can choose to stand under the barber of any celestial. Who dares covet me then? But now, the most important thing is to get the other half of the dragon Elephant technique and dragon elephant essence." He suddenly felt motivated.

He stood up, and dark red flames appeared around his body as killing intent accumulated over the year burst out. He looked towards the demons that has been drooling over him.

Cheng Shan had no intention of letting them go. They were a contribution to his becoming stronger.

In the past, even though he was strong, he never thought his destructive power could increase to this extend only at the fourth heaven.

At the moment, Cheng Shan at the fourth heaven would be able to produce an impact of about 9000kg just from a punch. This level of strength was extremely terrifying.

"If I continue killing demons for even another month, it should be possible to raise my strength to over 12,000kg. At this point, I could blow up those in the sixth heaven while still in the fourth heaven with a Punch as long as the Dragon Elephant technique reaches the seventh level."

When Cheng Shan stood up, his aura erupted and he went on another killing spree.

With just one slap, a fourth heaven demon exploded.

Su Yishui was petrified, and he wasn't the only one with the shocked.

"Impossible!"

He wasn't able to believe this guy was the same Cheng Chang Shan he knew from a year ago. It turned out that war could turn a scared boy into a ruthless man!
