Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System-Chapter 634 - 228: Grandmaster Zhang Returns to the Country!!_3

If it's a warhorse, then it's even more important, almost as critical as strategic materials. The mere number can fundamentally determine the outcome of a war. It symbolizes strength and identity. Even ordinary horses are like this, let alone fine ones. Left outside, they could make people fight to the death over them!

In *Water Margin*, the war between Zengtou Market and Liangshan was ignited over a fine horse. Hu Yanzhuo even went so far as to fight to the death with Peach Blossom Mountain when his Snow-Treading Dark Steed went missing.

In *Romance of the Three Kingdoms*, Guan Yu was so delighted at being gifted the Red Hare Horse by Cao Cao that he knelt in gratitude, prompting Cao Cao to ask him, "Why debase humans yet value an animal so?" From this, one can see the importance of a fine horse.

And now, Zhang Beixing, as the sole Hidden Essence Extraordinary Martial Artist in history, naturally had similar thoughts. After all, the image of riding a fully armored warhorse, wielding a flying knife in the left hand and a spear in the right, a bent bow on the back shooting at warplanes, moving freely through a hail of bullets, invincible and unstoppable... Just thinking about it would get one's blood boiling.

Previously, hindered by a lack of opportunity, Zhang Beixing had been delaying this matter. But now, "The opportunity has presented itself, hasn't it?" he exclaimed. "This horse is not only fast and intelligent but also fated to be with me!"

Looking at the foal before him, the more Zhang Beixing looked, the greedier his eyes became. He picked the right moment, charged forward with a sprint, and vaulted onto the horse's back.

More than five hundred pounds landed heavily.

The little foal was completely dumbfounded. It immediately began to struggle violently, trying to throw Zhang Beixing off.

For an average horse, even if it used all its strength, it would have been unable to do much to Zhang Beixing. But this foal was different. Despite its youth, its stamina and speed could compete with Zhang Beixing's, and it was born with freakish strength. The powerful force erupting from its sudden leaps and bucks actually threw Zhang Beixing, who was not yet securely seated and knew nothing of horsemanship, from its back.

Fortunately, once Zhang Beixing realized how extraordinary this little foal was, he remained vigilant. As he was about to fall to the ground, he wrapped his arms around the foal's neck, engaged his core, and instinctively pulled downward.

BOOM!

Under everyone's confused stares, Zhang Beixing was seen gripping the little foal. Solely with the strength of his waist, he swung the foal in a half-arc through the air before slamming it to the ground.

In an instant, dust flew everywhere!

Zhang Beixing and the foal tumbled across the grass for more than ten meters before finally coming to a stop.

Seeing this scene, Lin Siqi and the others were stunned. Kaiser and the officials from Ancient Rome were also dumbfounded.

After a brief moment, Zheng Jituo snapped back to reality. He blurted out, "Holy shit! Did he just go full Sett jungle on Hecarim?"

"Cut the crap!" Dong Guoning reflexively added his own exclamation. Then he came to his senses, realizing that Zhang Beixing and the little foal had been maintaining a speed of over one hundred kilometers per hour. With their sudden stop, slam, and roll, the resulting impact must have been tremendous, and the situation was likely not good. He quickly called Zheng Jituo to check on them.

Kaiser and the other officials from Ancient Rome also realized this and followed closely.

The crowd arrived in a rush, only to find Zhang Beixing getting up from the ground first, waving away the surrounding dust.

"Lao Zhang, are you all right?" Lin Siqi approached Zhang Beixing, checking his condition as she asked.

"COUGH, COUGH, I'm fine; I just accidentally breathed in a couple of mouthfuls of dirt when I fell," Zhang Beixing said, patting the soil and weeds off his clothes. After all his attributes were enhanced to 200, he could withstand this level of impact and injury. It just made him look a bit pathetic, nothing serious.

Hearing his words, Lin Siqi breathed a sigh of relief.

Zheng Jituo and Dong Guoning arrived belatedly. They looked at the small foal that Zhang Beixing had slammed to the ground, now lying motionless, eyes closed.

Zheng Jituo exclaimed in shock, "Lao Zhang, did you just slam it to death?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Beixing was somewhat speechless. Seriously, he had taken that tumble and gotten up without a scratch. How could this foal, which could physically compete with him, be hurt?

"If it had been an ordinary horse, maybe, but this little thing... you're underestimating it too much."

"You're playing dead now, huh? I'm going to count to three, and you'd better stand up; otherwise, I'll slam you again." Saying so, Zhang Beixing nudged the foal with his foot.

However, the foal didn't budge.

Seeing it play dead so defiantly, as if no threat could faze it, Zhang Beixing chuckled.

Then he abruptly said, "Three!" stretched out his hand, and made a grabbing motion.

SNORT—!

Sensing Zhang Beixing's motion, the foal, which had been playing dead, immediately sprang up and darted to the side. It snorted loudly, its large black eyes watching Zhang Beixing warily, as if questioning why this bipedal creature wasn't playing by the rules.

This display of intelligence left Zheng Jituo and the others dumbfounded.

And now, Kaiser and the others finally arrived. Looking at the strange scene, Kaiser, somewhat puzzled, asked Zhang Beixing, "Grandmaster Zhang, what... is happening here?"

"Nothing much, just got curious and really wanted to tame a mount, that's all!" Zhang Beixing made no secret of his intentions and spoke straightforwardly. Then he looked at the horse. "I'm giving you an option now: either be my mount, or else, we might be having horse meat hotpot tonight."
