1425 Tian Xian's First Battle
While Tian Xian and Xiu Mei becengaged, their relationship wasn't officially announced or acknowledged yet. The reasoning was simple.
They decided to wait until Tian Xian had gained sufficient fand reputation before making their engagement public. If the Xiu Family were to announce the engagement of their prized jewel to a common soldier during a tof war with the Seven Heavenly Order, they risked ridicule and mockery.
While Tian Xian had gained fas a prodigy within the Xiu Family, this knowledge was kept internal, and few outside their circle were aware of his talents.
"Tian Xian, our situation with the Seven Heavenly Order has finally reached the point of war. I will send you into battle so you can acquire experience and make a nfor yourself. Do you object?" Emperor Xiu asked him.
"I object! Why do you have to send him when there are countless other soldiers?! It's too dangerous!" Xiu Mei refused to send her beloved to war, fearing the possibility of him getting hurt or, even worse, losing his life.
However, Tian Xian placed his hand on her shoulder and said, "Please, Xiu Mei, don't be like this. This is what I've been trained for. If I can't fulfill the purpose I've dedicated many years to, then what meaning does my existence hold?"
"Well said!" The General exclaimed with an excited smile on his face.
Tian Xian turned to look at Emperor Xiu and continued with a resolute face, "I accept, Your Majesty– No… please, letgo to war with the Seven Heavenly Order. I have a debt to repay them, after all."
Emperor Xiu nodded with a calm smile, "Very well. Then you will be part of our first battle with them. Immediately prepare for departure."
"As you command, Your Majesty!"
Once they returned to their room, Xiu Mei asked, "Is there really no way I can convince you to stay here with me?"

"Xiu Mei, the Seven Heavenly Order threatens the Xiu Family and your safety. As your soldier and future husband, it's only natural forto fight them to defend our family."
If the Emperor had heard such words, he would definitely be jumping in joy over how successful their plan was.
"I couldn't raise my hand at those bullies back then because they were allies, but now that they are our enemy, I won't hesitate to get rid of them like you wantedto."
"Tian Xian…" Xiu Mei suddenly propelled herself forward and gave him a passionate kiss on the lips.
"I want to give you something before you leave for the war…" She started removing her clothes, her face flushed with redness.
Once she was fully naked, she grabbed his hand and pulled him toward the bed.
Tian Xian's eyes widened at her actions. However, he didn't reject it and followed her to the bed, where they passionately embraced each other and connected for the first time.
They made love to each other for several days straight until it was tfor Tian Xian to leave.
On the battlefield several thousand miles away from the Xiu Family, Tian Xian stood in a formation as they faced the Seven Heavenly Order's army which was three times larger in size.
"Heavens! Those Seven Heavenly Order bastards have violated the agreed-upon number of soldiers to be sent into battle on our very first engagement! This bodes ill for us!" The soldiers were both shocked and incensed by the Seven Heavenly Order's blatant disregard for honor.
In order to prevent a full-fledged war between two massive powers, they often resort to small-scale skirmishes with a predetermined number of soldiers and cultivators until one side either surrenders or depletes its forces.
For their first battle, they agreed to send only a thousand soldiers with a single Spirit Sovereign, three Spirit Kings, twenty Spirit Lords, two hundred Spirit Grandmasters, and the rest Spirit Masters. However, the Seven Heavenly Order blatantly disregarded their agreement and sent three times the amount with three Spirit Sovereigns, nine Spirit Kings, sixty Spirit Lords, six hundred Spirit Grandmasters, and over two thousand Spirit Masters.
"These sons of bitches! We need to get reinforcements!"
"They won't make it! We'll all be dead before reinforcements arrive!"
"What should we do? Run away?"
While the Xiu Family's soldiers contemplated running away, the only Spirit Sovereign within their ranks suddenly stepped forward and pointed his silver spear at the enemy.
"So what if they outnumber us three to one?! They are just a bunch of cowards who cannot even fight fairly! How strong can they be? Follow me! I will pave the way to victory for us!"
Without waiting for a response, Tian Xian fearlessly charged at the enemy. He made it halfway to the enemy without looking back to see if anyone had followed him. In his mind, even if he had to fight the entire army alone, it would not stop him.
"Hahaha! Charging at us alone, what a foolish bastard!"
"Who is this idiot? How did he manage to reach Spirit Sovereign?"
The three Spirit Sovereigns laughed and mocked Tian Xian openly.
"I can handle a dumbass like him by myself!" One of the Spirit Sovereigns said as he confronted Tian Xian.
However, the Spirit Sovereign was slain by Tian Xian after exchanging three mere blows with him.It didn't feel like a fight between Spirit Sovereigns and was more like a true master bullying a toddler. This unexpected result shocked both sides to their core.
"Who is that soldier?! How cI don't recognize him?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Isn't that Tian Xian? He's a royal guard for the Xiu Family!"
"But he looks so young! He has to be less than twenty years old!"
"I have heard rumors of him, but I have never seen him fight before!"
The Xiu Family's soldiers were overwhelmed with shock after witnessing Tian Xian in action for the first time.
Meanwhile, the Seven Heavenly Order's soldiers were trembling from fear.
Seeing this, the remaining two Spirit Sovereigns went to confront Tian Xian together in hopes of raising their fellow soldier's morale.
However, they also fell to Tian Xian in less than ten strikes.
"Holy fuck! He defeated all three Spirit Sovereigns by himself!"
"He's even unharmed!"
"We have a chance! We can defeat these cheating bastards!"
The morale of the Xiu Family's soldiers soared when they witnessed Tian Xian's overwhelming strength, and they swiftly followed him into battle against the enemy soldiers.
Once Tian Xian defeated the enemy's Spirit Sovereigns, their morale plummeted to rock bottom, leaving them vulnerable to the onslaught of the Xiu Family's soldiers, who swiftly overwhelmed them with ease.
In less than two hours, the Xiu Family's army emerged triumphant with only a few casualties. Meanwhile, the forces of the Seven Heavenly Order were utterly vanquished despite outnumbering their opponents.
Word of Tian Xian's unparalleled prowess on the battlefield quickly spread throughout the Fourth Heaven like wildfire, garnering him widespread acclaim and respect among both allies and adversaries alike.
"Hahaha! You should've been there to witness Tian Xian's prowess! None of the enemy's Spirit Sovereigns were able to land a hit on him!"
"The way he just marched toward the enemy alone without any hesitation and looking back! It was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen!"
In the blink of an eye, Tian Xian beca celebrity within the Xiu Family's army.
