The so-called "potential", to put it bluntly, is a kind of aura.

If we use a more mysterious term - this thing is a kind of energy.

The strength of "power" is not linked to a person's "force", but to a person's "spiritual power".

To put it simply: the stronger a person's mental power, the stronger his "power".

The human spirit is a faithful reflection of its past experiences.

People who have gone through countless hardships and passed through mountains of corpses and seas of blood naturally have a tenacious will that is far superior to ordinary people.

The aura of being able to control the life and death of countless people, and kill millions of emperors and generals with just one order or instruction is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Since going to Luo, although Qingdeng has not been able to replicate any great talents and has not made any major breakthroughs in his personal strength, he has experienced a lot in these four months.

First, he became the general of the army guarding one side, and was no longer an ordinary official.

Build the army bit by bit.

Teach the soldiers step by step how to fight.

Then, take the lead and conquer the enemies!

The battle against the Ise bandits was the first time Aoden personally directed the war as the "Commander-in-Chief". It was also the first time that he personally led the cavalry into battle like a fierce general in storytelling, delivering a decisive blow to the entire battle.

.

Not only strategizing in the tent, but also galloping in front of the formation.

From a swordsman to a general... these precious experiences have all turned into his spiritual wealth, and then become the nourishment of his "power"!

Once upon a time, when Kondo Shusuke taught Aototo the concept of "momentum", he said to him seriously: A powerful "momentum" can directly stun others, and the battle can be easily resolved without even raising a hand.

Frankly speaking, Qingdeng had always thought that these claims were exaggerated rumors.

A "power" that is so powerful that it can directly stun others?

What kind of outstanding person does this have to be to possess such powerful "power"?

He fully believed that Kondo Shusuke was telling nonsense.

Until now...the boomerang is coming.

Now, Qingto finally realized belatedly: Kondo Shusuke did not lie to him!

As he continues to grow, Qingdeng realizes more and more deeply the huge energy hidden in "potential"!

Although his current "power" has not reached the level of being able to stun others, it is enough to make ordinary people feel great pressure.

When he releases his "shi", people with slightly better willpower will feel tightness in their chests and their bodies will become heavier.

People with weak willpower will have difficulty breathing, their two legs will fight, and they will not even be able to stand firmly, just like a newborn deer.

It is not difficult to imagine that as long as his "power" continues to increase, one day he will reach the state where "just one look can make people faint on the spot"!

In addition to strength, coverage is far better than ever before.

After Qingdeng released his "power", its range directly covered most of the Yuriaus!

Almost no one on the whole ship can escape the oppression of its "power"!

The fly in the ointment is that Qingden still cannot flexibly control the "power", cannot accurately avoid certain people, and only attacks specific people.

In other words, his current "power" is to kill without distinction between ourselves and the enemy.

Not only the British members on the Julius, but also Katsurin Taro and Manjiro on the left and right sides of Aoto, as well as the crew members on the Kamrinmaru, were all implicated.

Fortunately, Rintaro Katsu, who has fought his way up from the bottom, and Manjiro, who has experienced wilderness survival, traveled to foreign countries, and traveled around the world at a young age, are both strong and tenacious people.

The two of them were so close to Qingdeng and faced his "power" directly from a distance. As a result, except for their faces turning blue, there was nothing strange about them.

As soon as Aoto finished introducing himself, Manjiro immediately got into work mode.

He accurately translated Qingdeng's words into standard American English.

While wiping the cold sweat remaining on his forehead, Neil raised his eyes and looked at Qingden with horror on his face.

He has heard of this "power"!

When he was still a carefree child, he had heard about this power from his grandfather!

In that era before the birth of steam engines and firearms, a very few martial artists possessed the miraculous power of "invisibly making people surrender."

According to legend, weak people simply cannot stay awake in front of them!

Now, with the advent of the industrial age, guns and guns have completely replaced swords.

The idea that "it is better to study and take exams than to dance with a sword" has become a consensus among people.

Martial artists have lost the soil for their survival.

Nowadays, no one in Britain knows how to practice martial arts.

Therefore, this "power" has become a legend and only appears in people's oral tradition.

Neil never expected that...in his lifetime, he would be able to experience this legendary "power" personally!

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt, and the more he thought about it, the more horrified he felt!

The pressure of "power" only added to the fear in his heart!

Although he was deeply shocked, he never forgot his duties as minister.

He blinked his eyes vigorously a few times, steeled himself, and worked hard to straighten his waist and put his hands behind his back, so that he could regain his majestic posture.

It's just that... he has never been able to change his pale complexion back to normal.

"I, I am John Neal! Juju, Mr. Ju, it is an honor to meet you!"

He made a fool of himself as soon as he opened his mouth...

His lips and tongue seemed to be numb, he stammered, and almost bit his tongue.

Neil, who knew he was embarrassed, felt embarrassed and angry, but there was nothing he could do about it.

At this point, the "welcome ceremony" he carefully arranged was completely bankrupt.

The sailors lined up at the boarding port were all in disarray and out of formation.

Not to mention him and Colonel Jocelyn.

He couldn't even explain the important established process of "envoys meeting and introducing each other".

I wanted to make the other party embarrassed, but I ended up being the one who was embarrassed!

Qingdeng's purpose of "giving the British a powerful blow" has been achieved.

It is meaningless to continue to use "power" to oppress the opponent.

Therefore, Qingdeng quietly took back his "power".

At this moment, Neil felt as if he had emerged from the deep sea! His chest was no longer tight and he could breathe smoothly!

He felt so relieved that he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

The originally tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and his body suddenly became weak. He almost fell to the ground and almost made a fool of himself again.

The rest of the people also felt as if they had received amnesty.

Wiping away sweat, gasping for breath, moaning and moaning.

It's chaos.

At this time, Katsurintaro and Manjiro blinked vigorously in no particular order.

The two looked at each other subconsciously - they both saw strong shock on each other's faces!

They were used to the British's arrogance.

Have you ever seen the British side look defeated?

At this thought, they involuntarily turned their heads to the side and looked at Qingdeng with reverence.

At the same time, Neil, Colonel Jocelyn, and all the sailors present also raised their eyes in disbelief and looked at Qingden.

Qingdeng became the focus of the audience, thus invisibly destroying the prestige of the British side.

Today's negotiations have not yet begun, but the British side has already lost the opportunity and is at a disadvantage.

Under the direct gaze of everyone, Qingdeng said quietly:

"Your Excellency, Minister, without further ado, let's start our negotiations quickly."

…

…

Julius, cabin—

Under the leadership of Neil and Colonel Jocelyn, Qingden and others walked down the stairs and moved to a certain room in the cabin.

A long table has been placed in the center of this room.

On the long table, candles, lamps, ink, brushes, quills and other items are all available.
