I Have A Game Clone

Ning Shi, a man from Saturn, accidentally downloaded a game on his phone called the Age of All. “Beep! Clone successfully created!” Ning Shi received a clone in the game. Whenever his clone got stronger, his real self would get stronger as well. “Your clone has trained in the training room for 12 hours. Vitality 1, Mentality 1.” “Your clone has slain the Earth-Dragon.

65 Transformation-type

Chen Wei knew that Ning Shi wouldn't give up until he had a look. He went all out and made a cheeky casting gesture with his hand.

The space in front of him twisted and blurred. After a while, an animated character appeared!

She was tall and fat. She had thick lipstick and light purple eyeshadow on. She wore a pirate hat and a loose pink dress.

She looked exactly like Big Mom in the anime, and even her clothes were changed!

!!

Even though Yang Yunzhi had already seen it once, he still slammed his hand on the table and laughed wildly.

Ning Shi, on the other hand, was better. He tried his best to calm his emotions.

Chen Wei ended his transformation and turned back into a normal human being. He had just awakened his power, so his transformation would be exhausted after a few seconds.

Ning Shi clapped and said with a smile.

"Old Chen, why are you still running a shop? If you transform into Big Mom and take photos at the anime convention for a fee, I guarantee that your business will be booming!

After laughing for a while, the sashimi platter began to be served. Ning Shi asked seriously after eating a few mouthfuls.

...

"Old Chen, after you transform into a middle-aged woman, will you have the ability of her Devil Fruits?"

Chen Wei shook his head and sighed, " I've checked on the awakener forum. The ability of the transformation-type mainly relies on Spiritual Power. My current Spiritual Power is too low. The transformation can only last for a few seconds. I can't imitate any of the Big Mom's abilities.

Ning Shi remembered the awakener introduction book that Hao Meng had sent him and quickly checked it in his memory bank.

In theory, a transformation-type could simulate all the abilities of a transformed person, provided that their Spiritual Power was strong enough.

Many people classified the transformation-type as a branch of the spiritual-type. On this point, there was still a big disagreement in the research community of awakeners.

The current mainstream understanding was that the transformation type was a separate awakener faction that had been researched.

After reading the information for a while, Ning Shi realized that Chen Wei was not in a good situation.

Generally speaking, unless one was extremely talented, it would be best for the transformation-type to choose a real species that was not too strong for the initial transformation.

There were three iron-clad rules for the transformation-type:

First, the more illusory the target, the more difficult it would be to transform. The more realistic it was, the less difficult it would be.

Second, the stronger the target, the more difficult it would be to master the transformation. The transformation had to be done with a species that was suitable for the user.

...

Third, from weak to strong, from real to illusionary, the transformation had to be done step by step.

Most transformation-type awakeners would first transform into beasts in real life, such as tigers, black bears, eagles, and so on. After familiarizing themselves with the ability to transform, they would gradually develop their transformed targets in the direction of transcendence.

"Then, after you turned into Big Mom, did your body inherit her talent or special traits?" Ning Shi asked again.

Chen Wei shook his head.

The transformation-type could choose its target. After a successful transformation, when they returned to their original form, they would receive some buffs from their target. For example, after turning into a black bear, they could obtain the black bear's strength or vitality.

This would ensure that the transformation-type would have a certain level of extraordinary power even before they transformed. It was very important for the transformation-type type, who had a weak body.

Like Chen Wei, the target he chose to transform into was too illusionary.

Although he had transformed into Big Mom, he only had the appearance of Big Mom. He did not have the physique or abilities of Big Mom.

This meant that Chen Wei's transformation ability was basically useless…

Therefore, he had to be careful when using his special ability. If anyone transformed randomly just because of his hobby like Chen Wei, his future would be ruined.

Chen Wei didn't care about it at all. He smiled and said, "You all know my personality. I don't like to fight. The way I am now is pretty good. I am already very satisfied with becoming an awakener and having a healthy body and a long life!

...

"As for powerful superpowers, sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing to be too powerful."

Yang Yunzhi gave Chen Wei a thumbs up.

"Well said, Old Chen! You don't have to be depressed, you're now a hot commodity in the marriage market.

"Times have changed. Nowadays, finding a partner is not just about looking at a house, car, or job. Being an awakener is the biggest indicator!

"At the very least, you have become an awakener and have the priority to choose your spouse."

Yang Yunzhi had a perverted expression on his face as he ate a slice of salmon. He began to gossip.

"Do you still remember the model couple in our high school class? They've broken up recently!"

Ning Shi was a little surprised and could not help asking, "This is fake, right? Wang Jia'an and Ye Yanling's 11-year relationship had broken up just like that? Didn't they show off their love at last year's class reunion?"

Chen Wei also knew about this. He answered, "Love is love, and marriage is marriage. These are two different things.

"Marriage talks involve the communication between the two families. It's already a lot of trouble, but a third party appeared at this time, and the woman's side wavered."

Ning Shi was silent.

...

Yang Yunzhi sighed and said, "The third person was introduced by Ye Yanling's mother's friend. Some of her classmates have seen her before. It's said that his looks are average and his family background is average. However, he's an awakener and has awakener an ice-type ability. It's said that he has good qualifications."

At this time, the waiter served three servings of Taiyaki. Ning Shi took a bite and said with a smile.

"This is an individual's choice, don't raise it to a collective choice. No matter what era it is, priority in choosing a spouse will always exist."

The three of them ate and drank, and talked about the five grain juice business. Everything was stable, and the new fruit wine was selling well.

It had to be said that the service of Huachao Restaurant was still good. Although the price had increased, the speed of the dishes being served was not slow.

Ning Shi ate to his heart's content and ate until he was full.

When the dinner was about to end, Chen Wei asked Ning Shi, "Shitou, do you have anything to do tonight? If there's nothing else, can you come with me to see someone?"

Chen Wei said with a tone as if he had a favor to ask.

"Old Chen," Ning Shi scolded with a smile, "If there's something, just say it. There's no need to hide things between us brothers."

Chen Wei scratched his head, "I'm not trying to cover it up. I'm not thinking of telling you after dinner.

"You know, anime is my biggest interest, so I joined a group of anime fans from the same city. There are simple anime fans in the group, friends who are good at cosplay, and some authors who like to write anime doujinshi.

...

"The group owner of this group is called Miao Xinyue. She's a Big Boss who can cosplay and write doujinshi. You don't know, but she cosplays Rem and saber. She's perfect.

"The doujinshi novel she wrote, in my heart, is a classic that can surpass the original…"

When it came to anime, Chen Wei was so excited that Ning Shi had to interrupt him.

"Old Chen, I know you admire this group leader. Can you get to the point?"

Old Chen regretfully closed his mouth and took out a photo from his pocket.

There was a beautiful girl in the photo.

She had brown shoulder-length hair, brown pupils, and a determined look. She was wearing a school uniform from Long Island.

This was the image of Railgun, Misaka Mikoto.

Ning Shi had watched anime before and also recognized Railgun. The point was that the background of this photo was not in the anime world, but in a room that was obviously real life.

Ning Shi picked up the photo and said, "This must be the group leader of your anime group, Miao Xinyue, right? I have to admit that you're right, Old Chen. Her cosplay ability is really invincible.

"Her makeup can't be said to be very similar to Railgun – it can only be said to be exactly the same."

...

Chen Wei shook his head. Ning Shi suddenly thought of something and his face changed as he asked tentatively.

"Old Chen, could it be that this group leader has also awakened the transformation ability and successfully transformed into Railgun?"

Chen Wei took back the photo and replied, "That's right. Miao Xinyue is also a fan of Railgun. After I found out that she had also awakened her transformation ability, I suggested that we try to transform into Railgun together.

Ning Shi laughed out loud. "Both of you transformed together. In the end, you became Big Mom while she successfully transformed into Misaka Mikoto. The difference between people, tsk tsk tsk…"

After turning into an old lady in front of Ning Shi, Chen Wei's skin was as thick as a city wall. He said shamelessly.

"What's wrong with Big Mom? Big Mom is stronger than Railgun! And Big Mom was very beautiful when she was young!"

Chen Wei had completely forgotten the embarrassment of changing from a man to a woman. Ning Shi didn't want to argue with him and asked directly.

"The person you want me to see is Miao Xinyue. Why do you want me to see her?" 𝑛𝒐𝓋𝑒𝓵𝗎𝕊𝚋.𝒞𝚘𝓂

"Sigh…" Chen Wei sighed and said, "We turned into anime characters for fun. We didn't know the serious consequences. After we turned into anime characters, our abilities were almost crippled.

"I don't care. I'm almost 30 years old, and I'm not interested in becoming stronger.

"Miao Xinyue is only 20 years old. She really wants to become a powerful awakener, but after she turned into Railgun, she had almost no superpowers. Although she didn't blame me, she had been unhappy.

"I know that you are the principal of the school for the awakener, so I wanted to invite you over to take a look and see if you have any solutions."

Ning Shi knew that Chen Wei felt guilty in his heart. Plus, he also wanted to see Railgun in person, so he said.

"I can go and see her, but let me be blunt. I'm the principal of the strength-type awakener college. I'm not familiar with the transformation-type. I don't think I can think of any good ideas."

After saying that, Ning Shi was still afraid that Chen Wei would have too high of an expectation, so he raised another flag.

"I'm not a transformation-type."

Chen Wei knew about Ning Shi's situation and said while walking, "I'm already very grateful that you can go. It's for peace of mind."

After Yang Yunzhi paid the bill, he ridiculed Chen Wei.

"Old Chen, are you interested in girls? Do you need us brothers to cover for you?"

Chen Wei didn't joke this time. Instead, he said seriously, "No, Miao Xinyue and I are just simple friends. Don't talk nonsense when you meet later. It's not good to cause misunderstandings."

!!

Seeing Chen Wei's serious expression, Yang Yunzhi said, "Then I won't go over. Three grown men meeting a girl, don't scare her."

With that, Yang Yunzhi left.

Ning Shi had just drunk some plum wine in the shop. Although the alcohol content was very low, he couldn't drive.

Chen Wei didn't drink any alcohol. Instead, he took the initiative to be the driver and drove the car to a café near Donglin University.

Chen Wei said as they walked into the booth and ordered some drinks.

"I told Miao Xinyue in advance. She'll be here soon. Speaking of which, Miao Xinyue is also from Donglin University, and she's your schoolmate."

Seeing Chen Wei trying to pull strings, Ning Shi smiled, "Don't worry, Old Chen. After I understand the situation, I will try my best to help."

Less than two minutes after he sat down, a beautiful woman walked over.

She was dressed very simply in a white t-shirt and jeans, which was the simple style of female college students. However, her figure and appearance were too outstanding, and she looked like a goddess in her simple clothes.

The girl had a pair of almond-shaped eyes with distinct black and white, which would inadvertently reveal an alluring style. Coupled with her long legs, she had a kind of natural charm.

She walked over and held out her hand a little cautiously.

"Hello, Senior Ning Shi. My name is Miao Xinyue, a second-year student from the Computer Science Department of Donglin University. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Ning Shi stood up and gently shook Miao Xinyue's soft hand.

"I'm very happy to know you. Take a seat, don't stand on ceremony. You're Chen Wei's friend and my junior. We're friends the moment we meet. What would you like to drink? We've already ordered ours."

Miao Xinyue ordered a cup of latte. Seeing that she was still very nervous, Ning Shi joked.

"I heard from Chen Wei that you like anime. I thought you would come here in a JK show uniform."

"Anime is just a hobby," Miao Xinyue explained. "I only wear it when I'm in the same interest, or when I'm at an anime exhibition. I dress more simply in school."

Ning Shi gave her a thumbs up and praised her sincerely, "As expected of a student from Donglin University. You have a high level of awareness."

The two of them chatted for a while, and the atmosphere gradually warmed up.

Seeing that Ning Shi was like an ordinary person without any airs, Miao Xinyue relaxed.

Ning Shi began to understand her situation.

"Chen Wei has told me about your ability, but it is not detailed enough. I want to know more about it from you. Tell me what you can and don't tell me what you can't tell me."

Miao Xinyue nodded. In order to not be so formal, Ning Shi asked casually.

"Besides Chen Wei's proposal, you should also be willing to transform into Misaka Mikoto. What's your intention?"

Miao Xinyue's face blushed, and her eyes glowed. She replied in a low voice, showing a seductive look.

"I want to become Railgun because… Because she's flat-chested…"

Ning Shi would never have thought that Miao Xinyue's reason for turning into a big Railgun would be so strange. He glanced at her astonishing giant boobs and didn't know if she was saying the truth or if she was really troubled.

Thinking about it carefully, if a girl's boobs were too big, it was indeed a heavy burden and would bring a lot of trouble to her life.

After the topic was cleared up, Miao Xinyue was not so shy anymore. She continued,

"Because I grew well, I always wore ugly clothes and had to face people's strange looks. Slowly, I became more of an otaku and liked to watch anime at home.

"After that, I gradually fell in love with cosplay. I realized that cosplay could transform me into another person. After putting on a layer of disguise, I felt more at ease.

"Out of all the characters in the anime, I like Railgun the most because she has a powerful superpower and a body that I envy."

Miao Xinyue really hoped that Ning Shi could help her become stronger. She knew that Ning Shi was now the principal of the Awakener School, and had defeated a rank 6 awakener with one punch. He was known as the strongest strength-type.

So she opened her heart and answered Ning Shi's question seriously.

Then, she said to Chen Wei seriously, "Old Chen, it was my own choice to transform into Railgun. It really has nothing to do with you. You don't have to feel guilty."

"I don't feel guilty." Chen Wei waved his hand quickly. "I invited Ning Shi over to see if he can help you."

Ning Shi asked again, "How do you feel after transforming into Railgun?"

Miao Xinyue recalled and said with a smile, "Relaxed. I've never felt so relaxed before. I feel like a heavy burden has been removed."

Ning Shi was speechless.

It seemed that Miao Xinyue's obsession was very strong. Ning Shi concentrated. "That is to say, if you transform into Railgun, you'll be an ordinary person without any of Railgun's abilities.

Then how long can your transformation last?"

"Half an hour. I've tested it before. I can't maintain my transformation after half an hour and will return to my original form."

Ning Shi couldn't help but comment. "Old Chen, look. Others can last half an hour, but you only last a few seconds. You're really a fast man!"

Miao Xinyue immediately understood and burst out laughing.

Ning Shi knew that Chen Wei couldn't be blamed for this. It could only be said that even though they were both awakeners, the difference in their innate talent was too great.

Without a doubt, Miao Xinyue had the best transformation talent.

"If it's convenient, you can transform into Railgun. I'll observe for a while."

Miao Xinyue nodded and stood up. She did not move, but the space in front of her blurred.

The beautiful Misaka Mikoto appeared!

Miao Xinyue was indeed a cosplay expert. After transforming, she moved very naturally. Her left arm was placed above her head, and her right hand was straight. There seemed to be a coin on her fingertip.

...

It was the classic pose of Railgun when she released the Super Electromagnetic Cannon.

Seeing this scene, Chen Wei shouted in a very childish way.

"The light flashing between your fingers is my eternal belief for this life!"

Ning Shi covered his face in shame. Although he respected Chen Wei's hobby, the scene was too embarrassing.

"Change back, this place isn't suitable. Let's go to the school field and find a less crowded corner to test."

The three of them walked into Donglin University and found a field with fewer people. Ning Shi asked Miao Xinyue to transform into Misaka Mikoto and run, jump, and do weight training on the field to record her physical data."

"Junior, I have bad news and good news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Miao Xinyue's face was slightly sweaty and she was panting. She put her hand on her chest to catch her breath and said,

"I like to leave the good things for last. Let's hear the bad news first."

"After you transform, your physical fitness is only at the average level of a 14-year-old girl. You might as well not transform."

Ning Shi analyzed without any emotion, "The good news is that your talent and transformation target are both better than Chen Wei's. With more training, you might be able to develop a good ability."

...

"The Big Mom character that Chen Wei had transformed into is a character of One Piece. The background world of One Piece is completely different from the real world. It is basically impossible for him to transform and adopt Big Mom's ability.

"Misaka Mikoto's background is similar to our world. Her ability to discharge electricity is similar to that of a lightning-type special ability, and you're talented.

"According to my speculations, you might be able to completely master Railgun's transformation and use her various abilities in reality."

Hearing Ning Shi's analysis, Miao Xinyue was not particularly happy. She noticed that Ning Shi mentioned the word "might".

Miao Xinyue gritted her teeth and asked with a red face, "Senior, can I be your disciple?"

"I'm afraid that won't do!" Ning Shi could feel Miao Xinyue's determination to become stronger. He was a little curious as to what the reason was for her to be so eager to become stronger.

It was not convenient for Ning Shi to ask about Miao Xinyue's privacy.

Ning Shi shook his head and explained, "I'm a strength-type awakener. I don't know anything about the cultivation of the transformation-type. I can't teach you at all.

"Perhaps you can consider joining an official organization and get help from them."

For the adult awakeners, the government did not set up a unified Awakener School. They only did text and video teaching on the awakener forum.

They also encouraged the establishment of training institutions for the awakeners.

If one wanted to receive guidance from the government, one could join an official organization, such as the Investigation Department, the Exchange Bureau, and so on.

Miao Xinyue sighed. "I've applied to join the Investigation Department, but I was rejected. They said that I'm too weak and not suitable for the work of the Investigation Department."

Miao Xinyue's expression dimmed for a moment but then became determined again.

"Thank you, Senior Ning Shi. No matter what, I will not give up. As long as I keep working hard, one day, I will be able to completely master Railgun's transformation!"

Feeling Miao Xinyue's determination and thinking of her outstanding talent, Ning Shi's habit of cherishing talents after becoming the principal reappeared. He took out his phone and said,

"Let's exchange contact information. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly and I can give you a reference.

"I have a classmate who's an expert in spiritual-type. Spiritual-type and transformation-type are similar, so she might be able to help you.

"She's doing research overseas right now. I'll introduce you to her when she comes back."

Ning Shi thought of Hao Meng. She must be very interested in Miao Xinyue's rare ability to transform into a virtual character and might have some new ideas.

Miao Xinyue looked excited. She quickly exchanged contact information. 𝔫𝑂𝑣𝑬𝓁𝗎𝚜𝓑.𝗰𝒪𝔪

"Cultivation is nothing more than strengthening your physique and spirit," Ning Shi instructed. "If you keep training, you'll see results.

"From what I understand, after you transform into Railgun, don't be in a hurry to develop your lightning-type abilities. Railgun's physical fitness and fighting skills are also very strong.

"You can start with the relatively simple physical enhancement. The correct way of cultivation is to start from the easy to the difficult."

After saying that, Ning Shi looked at the time and found it was already 11 o'clock at night. Then, he left with Chen Wei.

The next day, after having breakfast at the cafeteria, Ning Shi took care of some school affairs and returned to his residence to enter the game.

He checked the system log.

[ The avatar is holding a celebration party again. He invited Snow Fog to dance. Character intimacy 1. Current character Character intimacy: 97. ]

[ Out of 110000 slaves, 5000 of them will be selected to be contracted as servants. The number of servants will reach 10000. ]

[ The avatar has received news from Rose City that the battle of the arena has begun ahead of schedule. As the teleportation array to Duohuang has been closed, the avatar has led the Undying Trump Troop to reinforce the city overnight. ]

[ Triggered main storyline mission 5: help Lena become the Duke of Rose and increase the Character intimacy with her to 99. ]

Seeing that the main storyline mission had appeared and that Lena needed help, Ning Shi quickly entered the first-person perspective and took over the avatar.

The avatar was sitting on the back of a mammoth, and behind him was the Undying Trump Troop of nearly 10000. The group was in a hurry.

Fortunately, Ning Shi had a backpack that could store food, so they did not need to carry heavy supplies. The team moved very fast.

"Where are we now? How much longer until we arrive?"

Hearing Ning Shi's question, Maku Gu, who was wearing heavy armor and a helmet, and holding a huge wolf-tooth club, said.

"My Lord, we are about to leave the Marquis of the Dolphin territory. After entering the Rose City territory, we will reach Rose City in another 200 kilometers. It is estimated that we will need another two hours or so.

After Ning Shi learned of the situation, he no longer spoke and hurried on with his journey.

Two hours later, the tall walls of Rose City appeared in front of everyone.

Compared to the chaos and blood in Duohuang, Rose City had not experienced war for hundreds of years.

The city wall was tall, thick, and majestic. It was more than 20 meters high. Roses were placed on the wall, and it was smooth and clean. It was obvious that it was well maintained.

At the city gate, the people were bustling with activity. The flow of people going in and out was huge. The faces of the people coming and going were ruddy, and most of them had smiles on their faces. Looking at their clothes, most of them were made of fabric.

Ordinary people led a good life, so one could imagine the prosperity of Rose City.

Ning Shi checked the information. Rose City was the largest city in the Western part of the Brad Empire. Even in the entire Brad Empire, it could be ranked in the top five cities.

After nearly a thousand years of development, Rose City's area continued to expand, and the permanent population was close to three million. In the game world without high-rise buildings, this population was very shocking.

In order to avoid trouble and misunderstanding, Ning Shi had the Undying Trump Troop station at the edge of a forest about 20 kilometers outside the city, while he entered the city alone to understand the situation.

"Stop, show me the road sign!"

Ning Shi took out the road sign from his backpack and handed it to the city guard.

The road sign read: Rose City Territory – Magic Horn City – Black Bear Village – Ning Shi.

This road sign was made for Ning Shi by the old village chief, Grimm. It was registered in the Black Bear Village. The city guard saw that there was no problem with it and did not ask anything. He directly let them in.

Walking into the city, Ning Shi asked around along the way and came to a beast hide shop in the east of the city. This shop specialized in the fur of magical beasts. It turned out to be the industry of the chambers of commerce in Duohuang.

After Ning Shi unified Duohuang, this industry became one of the bases of the Intelligence Department in Rose City.

After seeing Ning Shi, the cat-human Keli directly went up to greet him. Knowing that the City Lord was coming, he had been waiting outside the shop early in the morning.

"My Lord!" 𝔫𝒪𝑣𝑬𝐿𝒰𝔰𝗯.𝗰𝑜𝓂

Keli bowed and saluted. Ning Shi directly said, "There are many people outside. Let's talk inside."

Ning Shi sat down in the store, and Keli stood to the side and said, "According to your instructions, we paid special attention to the whereabouts of Lady Lena and His Highness Alesia.

"Lady Lena is currently living at 12 Green Snake Street. Before the Duke's candidate is decided, the Duke's mansion had been empty.

"Lady Lena's schedule is very simple. She'll be training hard at home every day. Yesterday, she went to Count Tagore's residence, the leader of the Rose Knights, to discuss some matters.

"His Highness Alesia lives in the most luxurious inn in Rose City, Jade Cloud Palace. He plays around every day, but he is very upright and had never been to a brothel. He is kind and helpful and had done a lot of good things in Rose City. Although he had not been in Rose City for a long time, the prestige and reputation of His Royal Highness the third Prince had already won the praise of everyone.

"The arena battle would be held at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning on the battle stage in Victory Square. Among the three heirs, only Gray had announced his foreign aid candidates. It is the second son of the Kambia family, Val, and the third prince, His Highness Alesia.

"According to the odds set by the casino, Gray has the highest winning rate, with the odds of 1:0.3."

It had been less than a week since Duohuang had set up an intelligence base in Rose City, and it was already not easy for him to gather so much information.

Ning Shi nodded. "Thank you for your hard work, Keli. Take me to Lena's place first."

"There are spies from other forces near Lady Lena's residence," Keli said. "You'll be discovered if you go there like this. Do you want to disguise yourself?"

Ning Shi laughed and waved his hand.

"No need. I don't think anyone will recognize me. Even if they do, it's no big deal."

Hearing Ning Shi's words, Keli didn't ask any more questions and led the way.

Compared to the wide and rough streets of Duohuang, the streets of Rose City were more crowded with more people.

As this was a city that loved roses, so colorful roses were scattered everywhere. No matter where they went, the fragrance of the flowers lingered.

After passing through four or five streets, Keli pointed at a street in front of them.

"This is Green Snake Street. All the new nobles of Rose City Live on this street. Compared to the tradition of the Duke's mansion on Rose Street, I like this street more because it is more lively and energetic."

The two continued to move forward. Ning Shi glanced around, and with his powerful perception, he quickly detected the spies that Keli had mentioned.

The horse grooms chatting, the patrolling guards, and the gardeners who took care of the roses on both sides of the street. Although they tried their best to hide it, their eyes would occasionally glance at the same courtyard.

Ning Shi pointed to the courtyard and said, "That's where Lena lives, right? Go back first, I'll call you if I need anything."

Keli nodded, bowed, and left.

He hadn't seen Lena for two months, so Ning Shi missed her very much. He held back his excitement and walked to the gate, telling the guard.

"I'm Ning Shi. I want to see Miss Lena. Please inform her."

Ning Shi thought that the guard would question him, but when he heard his name, he was very excited. He opened his mouth to speak, but then he saw the spy outside.

"Lord Ning Shi, Lord Gu Bin has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in!" He said in a low voice.

...

Ning Shi walked into the courtyard. It was a Western-style courtyard. The entrance was a path paved with blue rocks. On both sides of the path, there were two square flower beds. Red roses were planted on both sides.

At the end of the road was a three-story building with white walls. On the walls of the building, there were all kinds of snake patterns and flashing magic core lamps.

There were two courtyards on the left and right sides of the building.

Ning Shi had already heard Lena's shouts while she was cultivating in the courtyard on the left. He didn't follow the guard's introduction. His figure flashed, and he followed the sound to find Lena.

Lena was wearing a red short-sleeved training suit, and her exposed skin was still a healthy and smooth-tanned color.

At this moment, she was in the middle of boring cultivation. Her hands were curled up in front of her body, like a poisonous snake preparing to hunt.

"Ha!"

With a loud shout, her right hand quickly flicked out, drawing an afterimage. The sound of a venomous snake's tongue came out of her hand, and she hit the thick iron plate.

A tiny hole appeared on the iron plate.

If not for Ning Shi's good eyesight, he wouldn't have been able to see this hole.

Ning Shi was also in awe of the power of this attack.

...

The iron plate was a foot thick, and not only did Lena's attack penetrate it, but it also left such a small hole.

It was extremely difficult.

Lena, who had entered cultivation, looked at both sides of the world. She didn't notice Ning Shi walking in, but continued to concentrate on practicing her moves.

Ning Shi didn't disturb her. He stood quietly and watched Lena cultivate.

The sun shone on Lena's sweat, which was glittering and translucent. This was the beauty of seriousness and struggle.

Ten minutes later, Lena finished practicing this move. She picked up a wet towel to wipe her sweat, and then she noticed a familiar figure beside her.

"Ning Shi!"

Lena was like a flame, flying into Ning Shi's arms.

In contrast to Snow Fog's calm and reserved nature, Lena's personality was like fire. She hadn't seen her lover for two months.

She did not hesitate to offer a kiss.

Ning Shi felt the softness between his lips and teeth, held Lena's hot body and sniffed the girl's body fragrance and the slight smell of sweat. The male hormones in his body were rapidly secreted.

This kiss was deep and long, intoxicating.

They didn't separate until Lena's teacher, Gu Bin, arrived.

[ Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Seeing you again, Lena's passion has been ignited. Character intimacy 2. Current Character intimacy: 97. ]

Seeing the game prompt, Ning Shi sighed in his heart. As expected of Lena, the increase in intimacy was due to her own enthusiasm. If it were other women, the increase in intimacy might be because Ning Shi was moved to come all the way here to support her.

Gu Bin stroked his white beard and smiled at the two who were in love.

It was a pity that Lena was so enthusiastic and took the initiative. She didn't know what shyness was. Ning Shi's face was as thick as a city wall.

The two of them stood side by side, facing Gu Bin's teasing gaze, looking very natural.

There was a saying that as long as you weren't embarrassed, the others would be.

Ning Shi and Lena's actions made Gu Bin's smile look particularly wretched, like an indecent old man.

He stopped smiling awkwardly and said to Ning Shi, "The new lord of Duohuang, the rising hero of mankind, Lord Ning Shi of the extreme wilderness, welcome to Rose City. My name is Gu Bin, and I am Lena's teacher."

Gu Bin's words were very respectful, but Ning Shi's expression was serious. He felt a great danger from this hunchbacked old man with white hair!

Ning Shi was very sure that whether in the game or in reality, this was the most powerful person he had sensed so far.

The strong must be respected. Ning Shi said, "Hello, Sir Gu Bin. Nice to meet you. I'm Lena's lover. You can call me Ning Shi.

He cast an insight technique on it.

[ Target: Gu Bin. Spiritual power Comparison: 26/35, able to investigate part of the basic information ]

[ Character: Gu Bin ]

[ Constitution: 40 (40) ]

[ Spiritual Power: 35 (40) ]

[ Appearance: 4 (wretched old man) ]

[ Family Background: 6 (side branch of the Alice family) ]

[ Bloodline: undying cloud snake (Level 9/ Potential 9 stars) ]

[ Profession: Bloodline warrior Level 42 ]

[ Skills: Poison cloud Level 10, cloud body Level 6 ]

[ Talent: Undying (blue) ]

[ Achievement: sword holder of the Alice family ]

[ Poison cloud Level 10: releases a poisonous cloud that covers an area of 1000 meters. The further the distance, the weaker the poison. ]

[ Cloud body Level 6: Turn your body into a cloud, immune to most physical attacks, and greatly increases your movement speed. [ After using cloud body, the attack range of the poison cloud will increase by 3 times ]

A Level 9 bloodline warrior's physical and spiritual comprehensive quality was as high as 75 points, while Ning Shi's current comprehensive quality was only 67 points.

Combined with his undying talent and cloud body skill, Gu Bin's ability to take a beating was probably even more powerful than Ning Shi's.

Compared to Alesia, Gu Bin, and the avatar's data, Ning Shi found that the comprehensive quality of a potential 10-star bloodline could reach 100 points at most, and the highest potential value of a Level 9 bloodline could reach 80 points.

Previously, he had checked on Hilker. He had a Level 8 bloodline, and his body's maximum limit was 70 points.

It seemed that the overall value was fixed, but different bloodlines had different distributions of physique and spirit.

Of course, the potential was just potential. There might have been many bloodlines with 10-star potential on the Moen Continent, but no one had ever reached that level.

A Level 10 bloodline was also known as the highest bloodline. No one had ever reached this height.

Therefore, Gu Bin's strength was the ceiling of the human world.

Ning Shi understood that people like Gu Bin were one of the hidden secrets of the Duke's family that had been passed down for nearly a thousand years.

Ning Shi complimented, "With Mr. Gu Bin here, it's easy for Lena to win the title of Duke!"

Gu Bin did not answer. He led Ning Shi to a tea table in the middle of the courtyard and sat down. He ordered the servant to serve rose tea and poured a cup for Ning Shi himself.

Then, he sighed and said.

"Lord Ning Shi, this old man is already 137 years old this year. Although I'm old, I still remember many things very clearly.

"When Lord Jason taught me the Bloodline Guidance Technique, I swore to him that I would never interfere with the family's fight for the title of nobility.

"Now that I've become Lena's teacher and taught her the Bloodline Guidance Technique, it's already an exception in this critical situation. I can't directly help Lena win the title of nobility.

"And even if I do, without the recognition of the royal family and the other nobles, Lena won't be able to become a Duke."

Hearing Gu Bin's words, Ning Shi understood what he meant. On the one hand, he was bound by the oath, and on the other hand, he was not invincible. There were still many forces in the royal family and the great aristocrats that could restrain him.

Lena had been practicing for a long time and was a little thirsty. She picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. After hearing her teacher's words, she quickly said,

"Teacher, I'm already very grateful that you can teach me the Bloodline Guidance Technique."

"What's the Bloodline Guidance Technique?" Ning Shi asked.

Hearing Ning Shi's question, a trace of doubt flashed across Gu Bin's face. He could feel a sense of pressure from Ning Shi, which was the aura of a strong master.

Furthermore, Ning Shi was able to quickly unify the chaotic Duohuang, so he was definitely not weak.

"How could he not know about the Bloodline Guidance Technique?" Gu Bin thought. He tried to get more information.

"I wonder what kind of bloodline Lord Ning Shi has."

Before Ning Shi could answer, Lena said, "Teacher, Ning Shi is of the bear bloodline. The first magical beast to fuse with the bloodline is a black bear.

"Black bear bloodline… Sigh… What a pity…" Gu Bin muttered.

Gu Bin explained even though he still had some doubts.

"The Bloodline Guidance Technique is a method to guide one's bloodline transition and continuously level up.

"It is a complete Bloodline Guidance Technique set, which includes the cultivation methods of bloodline fusion, purification, and advancing, as well as the formulas and consumption methods of various bloodline potions.

...

"For example, the move that Lena had just practiced was called the Green Snake Tongue.

"With every round of practice, the bloodline in her body would be a small step closer to the purification of the Wind Fire Snake's bloodline. When the bloodline purity reaches 80%, she can try to upgrade her bloodline with the potion.

"Theoretically, the highest bloodline you can reach is the Supreme Bloodline."

Gu Bin took a sip of tea, glanced at Ning Shi, and continued.

"The reason why bloodline warriors are divided into eight great branches: snake path, vine path, eagle path, tiger path, wolf path, lion path, ape path, and horned path, is that only these eight great branches have the most complete Bloodline Guidance Technique.

"The Bloodline Guidance Technique is in the hands of the eight great nobles, which are in the Brad Empire: The royal family's lion bloodline of the Ryan family, the Duke of Rose's snake bloodline of the Alice family, the Duke of Rose's vine bloodline of the Kambia family, and the Unicorn Duke's horn bloodline of the Yuleke family.

"Within the Ole Empire, the royal family's tiger bloodline of the Tagore family, the Duke of Snow Lands' wolf bloodline of the Woolf family, the Sky Duke's eagle bloodline of the Bode family, and the Duke of the demonic ape bloodline of the Gorilla family." 𝑛𝒐𝓋𝑒𝓵𝗎𝕊𝚋.𝒞𝚘𝓂

"Because of the Bloodline Guidance Technique, the eight great nobles have been able to rule the human world for almost a thousand years and become the top aristocrats.

"Lord Ning Shi is able to unify Duohuang with your bear bloodline and intimidate a group of experts without the Bloodline Guidance Technique. You're truly a genius!"

Gu Bin's words were filled with lamentation and regret.

Originally, Gu Bin had thought that although Ning Shi's origin was mysterious, his bloodline must be one of the eight great branches since he could become a master who could shock a region at such a young age.

...

He didn't expect it to be the bear bloodline that had no future.

Regarding Gu Bin's misunderstanding, Ning Shi did not explain. His bloodline had long been unrecognizable after the fusion of potential points.

Now that he had the bloodline of the Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus, there probably wasn't a creature like it in the game world.

Although he did not have a guidance technique, he could increase his bloodline by leveling up, which was much faster than a guidance technique.

Seeing that Gu Bin still wanted to ask about his secret, Ning Shi didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he changed the topic.

"Lena, I came here this time to help you win in the arena battle and help you get the Duke title. The Duke title belongs to the capable, so you don't have to be so modest!"

Gu Bin agreed with Ning Shi, saying, "I'll think of a way for Lord Ning Shi to fight with Val. His Highness Alesia's strength is unfathomable, and it won't be easy to deal with him."

His words implied that Ning Shi was not Alesia's opponent.

Ning Shi smiled and said nothing.

Lena held Ning Shi's arm with both hands. She had no doubt whether Ning Shi could defeat Alesia. She smiled sweetly.

"Sure, let's go to Count Tagore's mansion now and decide on the candidates for external aid."

Ning Shi thought for a moment and said, "I'm not alone this time. I've also brought ten thousand guards. Do you have any way to let them sneak into the city?

"We can't let our guard down against others. If after we win, someone gets desperate and refuses to admit the result, I'll give them a surprise!"

Lena shook her head, but Gu Bin said, "I have a way to let your army enter the city in small groups, and I can also arrange accommodation for them. However, I'm afraid that it won't be of much use for an army of ten thousand people.

"You must know, Rose City has 200,000 city guards."

Once again, he was looked down upon by Gu Bin.

Ning Shi looked confident. He did not refute Gu Bin's words, but just said,

"Then I'll have to trouble Sir Gu Bin to help my army sneak into the city."

69 Separate Plans

37 Rose Street, the house that Dupont, the Marquis of Blackstone, had bought in Rose City.

As a noble of the Duke of Rose's territory, the Marquis of Blackstone would come to this house to stay for a short period of time every year to show his loyalty to the Duke.

At this moment, more than a dozen nobles were sitting in a circle in the main hall of the house.

The person sitting at the head of the table was Dupont himself, the Marquis of Blackstone. On his left was Lena's sister, Allie, who was also one of the heirs in the arena battle.

!!

Compared to Lena's confidence and vigor, Allie exuded a special sharp businessman demeanor.

Her face was above average with some freckles.

She sat next to the Marquis and leaned her body against the Marquis' arm, pretending to look at Marquis Dupont with admiration.

She had been doing business with her mother since she was a child, so she knew that the possibility of winning the arena battle was very small. Her profit-seeking nature told her that she had to change her target in time.

Even if she could not become a Duke, being a Marchioness was not a bad idea. At least she could get some benefits.

Dupont looked at everyone and said, "The situation is not good now. We had 21 nobles at the last gathering, but only 14 are left now.

"Six of the nobles were bewitched by the Marquis of the Dolphin and sided with Gray."

The nobles were all smart people. They had already felt that it was almost impossible to support Allie to become the Duke this time, so they were all silent.

Dupont sighed and said, "Fortunately, Tagore and Lena are still holding on. We can still be of some use to Gray.

"Let's stop our losses in time.

"Allie will give up the fight for the position of Duke, and we will join Gray's camp collectively. Although we won't get any benefits, we can also ensure that Gray won't lay a hand on us after he ascends to the position of Duke!"

When Dupont finished speaking, the underground responded.

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

Everyone raised their hands and agreed to join Gray's camp.

From the beginning to the end, no one asked Allie's opinion. Allie had the self-awareness of a puppet. Although she was a little unwilling, she remained silent and continued to look at Marquis Dupont affectionately.

She did not know that Marquis Dupont was already thinking about how to hand her over to Gray in exchange for his trust.

Count Tagore's residence, in the study.

Figo said to his father, Tagore, as he hurried in.

"Father, Lord Hawk has settled down. I followed your instructions and tried to get close to him, but he was extremely arrogant and ignored me."

As the son of the Count, Figo had a distinguished status in Rose City. He had never been looked down upon like this. Although his father had repeatedly warned him, he still felt resentful.

Tagore understood his son's thoughts and explained.

"This concerns the survival and future of the family. If you can't even bear this little grievance, how can you inherit the position of the family head?"

Figo immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake, but he still had doubts in his heart.

"Father, what's the background of Lord Hawk? Why do we have to serve him so humbly?"

Tagore stood up and stared at the painting of the tiger descending the mountain for a long time before he said.

"Ever since Lena rejected our plan, it's impossible for us to obtain the title of Duke by taking the conventional route. If Lena fails to win the title, Gray will definitely purge our family after he takes over.

"I've already thought of all kinds of countermeasures for the situation before the dukedom. Now that we've come to this point, we can only contact the main family."

Figo was shocked, and his voice trembled.

"You mean, Lord Hawk, he… He is a member of the royal family of the Ole Empire?"

"That's right. He's King Acker's younger brother, born from the same mother. He was chosen to be the next swordsman of the royal family. He's been training in secret, and very few people know his identity.

"Hawk is extremely talented in cultivation. Although he's the same age as you, his strength has already reached the peak of a Level 7 bloodline, and his professional level has reached Level 35.

"He's a cultivation fanatic and doesn't know how to treat people. He's not deliberately looking down on you, so you must not be resentful.

"Hawk will be in charge of defeating Alesia, and you will defeat Val. This way, we can win in the arena."

Figo was extremely excited when he heard his father's plan. His face flushed as he spoke happily.

"This way, the position of the Duke of Rose will still be Lena's. We'll think of a way to force Lena to submit and secretly scheme to seize the Rose City territory!"

Seeing his eldest son so stupid, Tagore was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He suddenly felt that this account was really wasted. Maybe he should raise his 7-year-old son well.

With this thought in mind, Tagore did not curse. He said calmly.

"The Ole Empire's main family is not doing charity, so they won't help us for no reason. After the arena battle, we will gradually take over Lena's power and control all of Rose City territory's military power.

"After that, we will ally with the Ole Empire and take down the Rose City territory together, integrating the Rose City territory into the Ole Empire's territory.

"All of our people will return to the main family and restore our glorious status as the royal family of the Ole Empire. His Majesty Acker promised me that after we become members of the royal family, the Rose City territory will be our fief.

"As long as the plan succeeds, we will no longer be Duke Alice's henchmen.

"Restoring the glory of the royal family was the deepest obsession in his grandfather's heart, and the common wish of all the clansmen.

"We'll always be outsiders in the Brad Empire, and we can only be servants.

"Success or failure, honor or disgrace, all depends on this fight!"

Tagore seemed to have forgotten that if Duke Jason had not taken him in, his grandfather would have been dead, and he would not have been born in this world.

He should have been grateful for his status as a retainer, but it had become a so-called humiliation.

Figo finally came to his senses and understood his father's plan.

He pointed out a key problem.

"Between the Rose City territory and the Ole Empire, there is Duohuang City and the Marquis of the Dolphin's territory. How can the Ole Empire support us?

...

"If we want to rebel, without the Ole Empire's military assistance, it will be very difficult for us to succeed."

Tagore laughed. "I can only say that God is helping us. The chaotic Duohuang has been unified by Ning Shi, the Lord of the extreme wilderness!

"His Majesty Acker was ready to make Ning Shi a Marquis of Duohuang.

"At that time, we and Duohuang will attack from both sides, and the Marquis of the Dolphin won't be able to fight back at all.

"In this way, the Ole Empire and us will be on the same side. Even if the Brad Empire wants to start a war, we won't be afraid." 𝓃𝑜𝓋𝔢𝐋𝔲𝓈𝔟.𝑪𝒪𝓂

"Oh, Father, you're so good at calculating!" Figo looked excited, then said, "After we take down Rose City territory, please spare Lena's life, I think…"

The knocking on the door interrupted Figo.

"Come in!"

At Tagore's order, the butler outside the door came in.

"Master, Miss Lena is looking for you, saying that she wants to discuss the matter of the external aid selection. This old servant has already arranged for her to have tea in the main hall."

Tagore nodded. She came just in time.

...

"Figo, go and invite Lord Hawk to the main hall for a meeting."

After giving his instructions, Tagore followed the butler to the main hall.

Ning Shi sat on the right side of Lena and saw Tagore come in with the butler.

Unexpectedly, Tagore's figure was not tall or strong. On the contrary, he was a little thin.

He was dressed in noble attire and did not look like a general in charge of an army. He looked more like a poet.

Seeing Ning Shi beside Lena, Tagore was stunned for a moment. Lena didn't even bring a guard with her every time she came. This time, not only did she bring a man, but she also made him sit beside her.

"Lena, who is this person beside you?" Tagore asked directly.

"He's Zhang San," Lena stood up and introduced him, "He's my lover."

Before he came, Ning Shi had learned about the Tagore family's origin and conspiracy from Lena. In his heart, the Tagore family had already been included in the list of experience bags by Ning Shi.

Since he was an enemy, there was no need to be silly enough to tell the other party his true background, so he just thought of an alias.

Without waiting for Tagore to speak, Lena went straight to the point.

"Count Tagore, I'm here to inform you that my lover, Zhang San, will fight for me in the arena battle. There's only one spot left. You can choose to send someone to participate or not to participate. It doesn't matter."

Lena believed in Ning Shi. Since he had the confidence to win, and she herself had the confidence to defeat Gray, then the outcome of the battle in the arena had been decided.

They could even forfeit the last spot.

She had only come to inform him, not to discuss.

In Lena's opinion, she had the noble blood of the Duke, and Tagore and the others were just family servants, so there was no need to be too polite.

From this, one could see the difference between Lena and her sister Allie.

Report chapter Comments

Hearing Lena's words, anger flashed across Tagore's face as he calmly persuaded her.

"Lena, the candidate for external aid is related to the position of Duke. I've already found the candidates, and I'm sure they'll win!"

Lena shook her head with a mocking expression. She coldly said, "I'm the heir to the Duke of Rose's bloodline. It's my right to choose who to be the external aid."

When Tagore heard this, he could no longer hide the anger on his face. He stared at Lena, as if he was considering whether to arrest her on the spot.

!!

The atmosphere was tense.

At this moment, Figo walked into the hall with Hawk.

Tagore explained to Lena word by word after he greeted Hawk.

"This is Lord Hawk. His combat power is a bit stronger than mine. Only with him as the external aid can we ensure the victory of the arena.

"Lord Hawk, this is the Duke's illegitimate child, Lena!"

Hawk was tall and well-proportioned, with a handsome face and a cold aura. When he heard Tagore's introduction, he nodded slightly in response.

Tagore was furious. He actually introduced Lena in public as an illegitimate child. This was a public humiliation and an act that broke the unspoken rules of the nobles.

Lena didn't care about this at all. She wouldn't feel inferior because of her identity as an illegitimate child.

A cold light flashed in Ning Shi's eyes, but he did not get angry on the spot. There was no need to argue too much with an experienced bag.

Tagore felt much better after he humiliated Lena. He continued,

"Lord Hawk, Lena wants this nobody called Zhang San to participate in the arena battle. Please help us check and see how good he is."

The meaning of his words was that he wanted Hawk to test Ning Shi's strength.

Hawk finally looked straight at Ning Shi. He felt a little bit of pressure.

His next move stunned Tagore.

Hawk raised his right fist to his left chest, then bowed.

"Greetings, Mr. Zhang San. I didn't know that such a strong person was here. I'm sorry for being impolite just now!"

As the next swordsman of the royal family, Hawk had been obsessed with training since he was a child. He did not care about the ways of the world, but when he met a strong person he was interested in, he would show the highest respect.

Figo, who was at the side, was also extremely surprised. Lord Hawk's attitude towards him had always been high and mighty, very cold.

He actually bowed to Zhang San, who had appeared out of nowhere!

Ning Shi cupped his fists in return. He directly gave Hawk an inspection technique.

[ Tiger roar Level 7: Release a tiger roar, causing negative effects such as fear and dizziness to enemies within the range. The duration of the negative effects is determined by the difference in spirit. ]

[ Concentration (purple): Greatly increases the concentration of cultivation, and the cultivation speed is increased by 300%. ]

[ Tiger body (purple): The tiger is the king of all beasts, the solitary ferocious beast. Physique is increased by 50%, and all attributes are increased by 100% in one-on-one combat. ]

It was no wonder that on the Moen Continent, the tiger bloodline had always been the best in one-on-one combat.

The effect of the tiger's body doubled his combat power in a one-on-one fight. It was really overbearing.

Hawk originally had 38 Physique points, the same as Alesia. However, in a one-on-one fight, he could display 39 points or even close to 40 Physique points.

Moreover, his Spiritual Power was higher than Alesia's. No wonder Tagore was so confident.

At this stage, Hawk was indeed stronger than Alesia. After all, Alesia's professional level was only Level 26, which was 7 levels lower than Hawk's.

Alesia's high physical stats were due to the Lionheart Blade's special ability.

However, Hawk might not necessarily win in the arena battle.

Alesia was someone who had the original weapon, the Lionheart Blade. No one knew if this strange weapon had any other abilities.

After the greeting, Hawk said to Tagore, "I don't know the exact strength of Mr. Zhang San, but he's definitely stronger than your son Figo. He'll have no problem participating in the external aid competition."

Tagore was anxious. He argued, "Lord Hawk, our plans are closely linked. We can't change them. My son Figo will definitely defeat Val!"

Hawk's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery. He glanced at Figo and said coldly.

"Since Figo wants to show off in the arena battle, I won't participate in this duel."

He bowed towards Ning Shi again when he finished talking.

"Mr. Zhang San, it's not convenient for us to meet here today. Let's meet again another day and have a drink."

Hawk didn't care about etiquette, but it wasn't that he didn't understand. Towards the strong that he acknowledged, Hawk's etiquette was very comprehensive.

...

After greeting Ning Shi, Hawk's figure turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared.

Tagore and his son were dumbfounded the whole time. They did not expect Hawk to have such a character. He left without any hesitation.

Who would have known that Hawk had been training in seclusion in the Ole Empire, preparing to advance his bloodline to Level 8? It was only because the kingdom couldn't find a candidate who could defeat Alesia that he was forced to come to Rose City.

He was not willing to come to Rose City at all.

Now that he had found an excuse, he immediately slipped away. As for the royal family's grand plan, it had nothing to do with the royal swordsman. The royal swordsman was only responsible for cultivating powerful strength.

He would protect the royal family's bloodline with his powerful personal strength.

After Hawk left, Lena and Ning Shi didn't stay any longer and left the Count's mansion directly.

Back at Lena's residence, Ning Shi said to Lena, "Ask Sir Gu Bin to quickly help my army sneak into the city. Hawk is the next royal swordsman of the Ole Empire's royal family. It seems that the Ole Empire has also intervened in the fight for the title of the Duke of Rose.

"Although Hawk is forthright and doesn't participate in the arena, we still have to guard against Tagore's other conspiracies. As for Gray, he must have made two preparations.

"The great leader of my hometown once said, 'political power comes from the barrel of the gun'. Winning the arena battle can win justice, but it is impossible to sit on the dukedom without bloodshed."

8 Rose Street, Gray's house.

...

Dupont, the Marquis of Blackstone, was kneeling in front of Gray. He raised his hands over his head and respectfully handed Gray a box.

In the box was the head of Allie, one of the Alice family's bloodlines, who was competing for the position of Duke.

Looking at Allie's frightened eyes, Gray smiled and said hypocritically.

"Sister, my dear sister, how could you die so miserably? Marquis Dupont, how did my sister die? The bloodline of the Alice family must not be tainted. I must avenge her!"

Dupont's face was filled with sorrow. He had given full marks for his performance, and he cried with snot and tears.

"Lord Gray, it's Lena. She's willing to use any means to get the Duke position! She sent an assassin to kill Allie. The assassin cut off Allie's head and wanted to run away. I risked my life to snatch it and only then did I protect Allie's body."

Immediately, the crowd in the hall was stirred up, and dozens of nobles fought to accuse Lena of her violence.

"Lena didn't even let her own sister off. She doesn't have the right to inherit the title of Duke!"

"She's really a b*stard offspring of a songstress. How can you compare with Lord Gray's noble bloodline?"

"Lord Gray, we have to be prepared for battle in case the Rose Knights rebellion occurs after Lena loses the duel."

Looking at the smug Gray and the hypocritical nobles, Alesia was very disdainful. He didn't say a word and sat quietly in his chair.

Lionheart Blade's light flickered. "Allie, according to the bloodline servant contract, Ning Shi has arrived in Rose City. The location is at 12 Green Snake Street, where Lena lives."

"Fortunately, I previously contracted the guard at Lena's residence. According to the news he sent, Lena and Ning Shi were old acquaintances before. Ning Shi came this time to help Lena carry out the arena battle.

Alesia almost laughed out loud, but he managed to hold it in. "The heavens are helping me!"

"I'm participating in the competition to leave an invincible aura on the field and leave a strong impression on Lena. I was worried that my opponent was too weak to show my true strength.

"Now that Ning Shi is here, let's make arrangements for him to fight me.

"With Ning Shi's cooperation, I can calmly demonstrate my powerful strength. In the end, Ning Shi will be intimidated by me, kneel at my feet in public, and recognize me as his master."

"Think about it… Ning Shi, who had just conquered Duohuang City and is the Lord of the extreme wilderness and is currently the most popular, has been subdued by me. It's enough to show my King's bearing. When that time comes. Lena will definitely be attracted to me…"

Lionheart Blade didn't respond to Alesia's idea. Suddenly, Lionheart Blade felt that Alesia was very similar to Gray.

Alesia had always looked down on Gray and didn't know who the real clown was.

The next morning, after Ning Shi and Lena had a sumptuous breakfast, they slowly walked to Victory Square.

On the way, Lena handed Ning Shi a tube-shaped object and said, "Sir Gu Bin has already placed your troops on Rat Street, not far from Victory Square. Release the signal flare and they will arrive."

Ning Shi took the signal flare and put it in his inventory. He took Lena's hand and went to Victory Square.

Victory Square was the largest square in Rose City. It covered an area of more than 100,000 square meters and could accommodate nearly 100,000 people at the same time.

!!

It was said that Victory Square was built to commemorate the victory that mankind had obtained in the catastrophe a thousand years ago.

In Rose City, only major festivals or important occasions like the Duke's coronation ceremony would be held in Victory Square.

In the middle of the square was a huge snake-shaped creature sculpture.

Half of the snake's body was on the ground, while the other half was upright. The snake's head was extremely huge and triangular. It flicked its tongue, looking like it was ready to attack at any time.

This was the original bloodline of the first Duke of Rose, the Giant Wind Snake.

Anyone who came to the Victory Square of Rose City for the first time would be frightened by the terrifying image of the Giant Wind Snake.

Beside the snake-shaped statue, there were roses of various colors.

Through the change in color, the roses formed a name from the sky: Alice.

The rose was a symbol of honor, and the snake statue was a symbol of strength. The two together formed the Duke's bloodline, the Alice family, which had been passed down for nearly a thousand years.

In front of the snake's tongue, there was a Square Arena built of bluestone that was more than three meters high.

"That's the battle stage," Lena explained. "It's said that when Rose City was first built, magical beasts wreaked havoc, and wars between humans were very frequent.

"In order to maintain the bloodlust of the nobles, the Duke of Rose had set up a battle stage for duels, encouraging the nobles to show their strength through duels and gain honor.

"It's a pity that after a thousand years, this stage has become a place for sacrificial ceremonies and celebrations. It's been hundreds of years since someone dueled on the stage."

Ning Shi looked over. On the east and west sides of the stage, there were dozens of stairs-like viewing seats, which were specially reserved for the aristocrats.

Ning Shi and Lena had to first go to the seats on the east side and sit down, waiting for the battle to start.

It was only 9:30, half an hour before the start of the arena battle, but Victory Square was already packed with people.

They were all people who had come to watch the arena battle.

Wherever Ning Shi and Lena passed, there were guards who helped to push through the crowd, but they still heard the discussions of the crowd.

"It's the arena battle. I didn't think I would be able to experience such a grand scene."

"That's right. I'm excited to witness the birth of the new Duke of Rose!"

"It's a pity that lady Allie is dead. It's said that…"

"Shut up! Is this something you can talk about?"

Allie had been killed, and the nobles of Marquis of Blackstone's line had collectively turned to Gray. Ning Shi had known about this last night.

He and Lena continued to walk forward, and they heard someone talking about gambling.

"Lord Gray and Lady Lena, who do you favor?"

"Of course it's Lord Gray. I heard that Lady Lena just became a bloodline warrior two months ago, while Lord Gray is already a Level 12 bloodline warrior."

As a commoner, he didn't know the specific strength of Lena and Gray. It was all hearsay, but he also had his own unique wisdom.

"Look, the third Prince, His Highness Alesia, and the other nobles are all supporting Lord Gray. These big shots are smarter than me, so I'm definitely not wrong to follow them."

"How much did you bet?"

"Let me tell you, something good happened last night. I don't know which idiot bet 1 million gold coins on Lady Lena's victory, but it caused the casino to urgently lower the odds for Lady Lena. The odds for Lord Gray also rose from the lowest 1: 0.1 to 1: 1.1!

"Of course, I won't miss such a good opportunity. I bet 10 gold coins on Lord Gray's victory!"

"10 gold coins! Uzi, you're crazy! That's a year's worth of your income!"

"It's fine. Lady Gray will definitely win. Listen to the discussions around you. No one is optimistic about Lady Lena's chances."

"Ning Shi, did you bet 1 million gold coins on my victory?" Lena asked quietly.

Ning Shi smiled. "That's right. Your odds last night were an astonishing 1 to 7.2. It's a free gift. It's a waste not to take it. It's a pity that the casino only accepts a bet of 1 million and immediately adjusted the odds."

Unless it was an extreme situation, the casino generally adjusted the odds according to the bets of both sides to ensure that they would make a profit without losing.

Ning Shi placed a bet of one million and instantly pulled Lena's odds down to 1 to 0.8.

Those who didn't know better would think that the casino was optimistic about Lena's victory.

After walking for more than 10 minutes, Ning Shi and Lena came to the special seats in the middle of the east stand and sat down. Tagore and his son had already arrived and sat beside Ning Shi without a word.

He didn't even greet him, acting as if he had shed all pretenses of cordiality.

Gray and the others had also arrived. A large group of people crowded around Gray. In comparison, Lena and Ning Shi seemed to be alone.

The top nobles of the Brad Empire sat behind the two competitors.

Sitting in the center of the table was the Crown Prince, Chapman, the appointed heir to the throne.

To Chapman's left was the representative of the vine-type bloodline, the head of the Kambia family, Duke of Rosaceae, Georgina.

She was wearing a long green robe that wrapped around her mature and graceful body. She was chatting and laughing with Chapman.

Accompanied by waves of laughter, her chest would always flash with white soft waves, attracting the attention of the surrounding nobles. 𝑛𝒪𝗏𝗲𝗅𝑢𝓈𝐁.𝒸𝐎𝕞

To the right of Chapman was Kingsley, the Unicorn Duke of the Yuleke family. Kingsley's expression was cold and his narrow eyes were closed. He seemed to be resting.

Beside the three of them were the influential nobles from all over the Empire.

There were only three dukedom families in the entire Brad Empire.

The fight for the position of Duke of rose this time involved the changes in the Empire's situation and attracted the attention of various forces in the country. Many big shots were present to witness it.

...

First Prince Chapman joked with Duke Georgina for a while. He seemed to have noticed that the Unicorn Duke was neglected. He turned to Kingsley and asked.

"Lord Kingsley, which side do you think will win this duel?"

Kingsley opened his eyes. His eyes were pure white, without any pupil color, like a blind man.

Even in front of the First Prince, he was not polite at all.

"If the royal family doesn't interfere, then the final winner will naturally be Lena. As for now, hehe…"

Kingsley naturally did not wish for Gray, whose mother was the blood of the Kambia family, to become the Duke of Rose.

In that case, the Duke of Rose and the Duke of Rosaceae would join forces. The balance between the three Dukes would be broken, and the Unicorn Duke would be in trouble.

Logically speaking, the royal family did not want such a situation to happen. Everyone's previous tacit understanding was to let Lena grow quickly and finally defeat Gray to become the Duke of Rose.

This was the script that fate had arranged, but Alesia had forcefully changed it.

In the face of Kingsley's complaints, the First Prince smiled awkwardly and explained.

"I swear on the honor of the royal family that it is Alesia's personal decision to enter the arena. The royal family has no intention of interfering!

...

"His Majesty Joerger was very angry about this. Originally, he was supposed to personally witness the duel today, but because of this, he only sent me as his representative.

"His Majesty has said that after this matter, Gray will be granted a marriage. The new Duke of Rose will marry Lord Kingsley's youngest daughter, Bianca."

Kingsley's expression changed, and his white eyes rolled.

"Is this true?"

"A gentleman does not joke!"

"Okay, then I'm optimistic that Gray will win this game!"

The corner of Ning Shi's mouth twitched. These great aristocrats were really unscrupulous. They were clearly sitting behind the two sides of the competition, but they didn't hide what they said. Lena and Gray could hear it.

He just talked about power and conspiracy in such a grand way.

This was an extreme contempt for Lena and Gray, but Gray could not feel it. When he heard that even Duke Kingsley supported him, he became even more proud.

The match hadn't even started, but he already had victory in his hands.

Alesia was the only one who had been tricked by his big brother. His participation in the competition was said to be his own personal action. At this moment, he was thinking about how to explain it to Lena after the duel.

After all the nobles had arrived, the First Prince looked at the dark crowd below the stage and walked up to the battle stage.

He activated his magic power, and his voice spread to every corner of Victory Square.

"I am the Crown Prince of the Empire, Chapman Ryan. I represent the Empire's King, His Majesty Joerger, to witness the birth of the new Duke of Rose!

"The arena battle is an ancient tradition of the Brad Empire, and it is a sacred and inviolable honor!

"I hereby declare that this victory has been recognized by the royal family and the nobles of the empire, and has the effect of the supreme law of the empire!

"The list of participants and the number of matches for this arena battle has been finalized and cannot be changed.

"I declare that the match has officially begun!"

"The first match, Lena versus Gray!"

72 Lena's Talent

Following Chapman's announcement, nearly 100,000 people in the audience let out earth-shaking cheers!

Gray was full of confidence. He stomped his feet and glided onto the stage like an eagle spreading its wings.

His handsome entrance caused another round of applause.

In contrast, Lena fed the audience a wave of dog food.

!!

She stood up, hugged Ning Shi, and kissed him on the lips before walking up to the stage unhurriedly.

Seeing the intimate behavior of Lena and Ning Shi, the veins on Alesia's face bulged. He held the Lionheart Blade tightly, trying not to let himself roar.

"What's going on? Lionheart, didn't they say that Ning Shi and Lena are old acquaintances? Why would Lena hug and kiss Ning Shi?"

The Lion King's bloodline was extremely possessive, and in Alesia's eyes, Lena had long been his woman. He would never allow anyone to touch Lena.

Seeing this scene, Alesia almost lost control of his emotions.

The Lionheart Blade only trembled and did not respond to him.

It was obvious that Lionheart Blade was tired after taking care of Alesia's child-like emotions for a long time.

On the stage, Gray felt that victory was in his hands and began to deliberately speak in a different tone to show his generosity in front of the crowd.

"Lena, my dear sister, don't worry. Even if you lose today's match, I'll still treat you well. After all, we're all of the bloodlines of the Alice family."

Gray's words were gentlemanly, but his bamboo-like figure was nothing compared to Lena's beauty and confidence.

No matter where it was, good-looking people had an advantage.

When the two of them stood on the stage, in contrast, Lena's charm completely surpassed Gray's.

In the crowd, the number of people supporting Lena unconsciously increased.

Lena ignored Gray, which made him feel a little awkward.

"What's going on?" Ning Shi sat down on the field, unperturbed. Beside him, Figo could not stand it anymore and said,

"Lena will definitely lose this battle. Why are you still so calm? Don't you know that Gray has been hiding his strength? He has a Level 5 bloodline and is a Level 23 bloodline warrior.

"It's all because of your bewitchment. If Lena had listened to our suggestion and used her advanced magic core and her unique secret technique, she would definitely be able to defeat Gray!"

Ning Shi was unmoved and did not want to pay attention to Figo at all.

"Alright, Figo, don't talk to him anymore. He's just a nobody. He might have decent strength, but he might not know a lot of common sense. He's probably hoping that Lena can defeat Gray!"

The other nobles heard Tagore's words and whispered.

"Usually, this only happens when the eight great branches are fighting against other bloodlines. In the battles between the eight great branches, it is rare to fight above one's level, let alone two levels above one's level!

Ning Shi was disdainful. These people were ignorant. He had killed the Level 8 bloodline of the eight great branches with a Level 4 bloodline. He could easily fight against those four levels above him.

The grade of the bloodline only represented the upper limit of one's strength. How much strength one could exert depended on the individual.

He had great confidence in Lena because he used the insight technique.

[ Insight Target: Lena. Spiritual Power Comparison: 26/16, able to inspect all basic information ]

[ Character: Lena ]

[ Physique: 19 (50) ]

[ Spiritual Power: 16 (50) ]

[ Appearance: 10 (Empress's charm) ]

[ Family Background: 6 (illegitimate daughter of the Duke of Rose) ]

[ Bloodline: Wind Fire Snake (Level 3/ Potential 10 stars) ]

[ Profession: Bloodline warrior Level 14 ]

[ Skills: Gale Steps Level 4, Wind Fire Enchantment Level 3, Cloud Serpent Sword Technique Level 6 ]

[ Talent: Destiny (purple), learning (purple), combat instinct (purple), unyielding will (purple), fatal strike (purple), regeneration (blue), body of wind (blue)]

[ Achievements: none]

Lena had five purple talents and two blue talents.

Obviously, the two blue talents were acquired after becoming a bloodline warrior, and the five purple talents were innate.

[ Destiny (purple): The person chosen by the world's will to bear the destiny of leading humanity to rise and fight against the gods and level-surpassing magical beasts. ]

[ Learn (purple): Maximize the human's innate learning talent. Learn anything with a single try, max comprehension, and increase cultivation effectiveness by 500%.

[ Battle instinct (purple): Possess the most primitive battle instinct, always making the best choice in battle.

[ Unyielding will (purple): The more damage you receive, the stronger your combat power. Your will and resistance will also be enhanced. Your combat power and resistance to will can be increased up to 10 times.

[ Critical strike (purple): There is a 50% chance of a 2x critical hit, a 25% chance of a 3x critical hit, and a 5% chance of a 4x critical hit. The critical hit chances are not stacked. ]

With these five purple talents, Ning Shi finally understood what the Son of Heaven's mandate was. Compared to Lena, Alesia was probably just trash.

Lena's duty was to lead the humans to rise up against gods and level surpassing super magical beasts. Alesia's duty was to unify the continent, and the enemy was the humans themselves.

In terms of the structure of heavenly fate, there was a gap between the two.

These 5 purple talents were really abnormal.

What Ning Shi envied the most was the purple learning talent. He had to level up and add points to be able to quickly upgrade his basic swordsmanship to Level 10. Lena had self-taught and in just two months, she had trained the Cloud Serpent Sword Technique to Level 6. 𝑛𝒪𝗏𝗲𝗅𝑢𝓈𝐁.𝒸𝐎𝕞

[ Cloud Serpent Sword Technique Level 6: a sword technique tailored for snake-type bloodline warriors. Level 6 Cloud Serpent Sword Technique. Special traits acquired: Sword Grandmaster, sword damage increased by 200%. ]

[ Wind Fire Enchantment Level 3: Wind Fire Snake's bloodline skill. After use, your attacks will have weak Wind and Fire Magic damage. ]

With the critical strike talent, combined with the Cloud Serpent Sword Technique and Wind Fire Enchantment, Lena could deal explosive damage. In addition, she had the bonus of her battle instinct and unyielding will.

...

Ning Shi felt that if Lena's comprehensive physical value was the same as his, he would definitely not be Lena's opponent.

A mere Gray, Ning Shi did not put him in his eyes at all.

The referee gave the order and the match began.

Gray's feet didn't move, but his arm suddenly stretched out like a spring, and he punched Lena's face.

Lena lowered her body and dodged the fist. The fist went past her.

Gray's arm went against the laws of physics and bent 180 degrees. He quickly turned around and attacked Lena!

Lena was facing Gray with her back to the fist, so she couldn't see Gray's sneak attack.

A cruel smile flashed across Gray's mouth. This sneak attack had been tried and tested time and time again. He couldn't wait to experience the feeling of a fist hitting a physical body!

Smash!

A loud bang was heard!

Gray's fist hit the sword.

...

It was as if Lena had eyes on the back of her head. She used her sword to block Gray's attack and used the power of Gray's fist to rush toward him.

An afterimage flashed, and Lena threw a punch at Gray's stomach.

Gray's body bent forward, and an exaggerated fist-shaped bulge appeared on his back. His whole body was like a large net with tension, easily unloading the power of Lena's punch.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gray stuck out his tongue like a venomous snake and hit Lena's arm.

Sizzle!

Lena's arm was black, and the sound of poison burning could be heard.

Gray had a Level 5 bloodline, so his strength and speed were both higher than Lena's. He had the upper hand after one successful attack.

Gray kept attacking, and Lena dodged passively. Due to the difference in physical fitness, she was occasionally hit by Gray's attacks.

The area hit by Gray immediately turned black, and a faint green light was transmitted from Lena's wound to Gray's body.

From the looks of it, Lena was at an absolute disadvantage.

Kingsley, the Unicorn Duke behind Ning Shi, said, "Lena is very talented. She's been able to reach this level in just two months. If there's enough time, she'll definitely be able to defeat Gray.

"It's a pity that the victory has already been decided."

First Prince Chapman nodded and praised, "The vine-type bloodline is indeed the bloodline with the strongest vitality among the eight great branches.

"Gray has the bloodline of the poisonous reed vine. Not only is his body extremely flexible, but he can also stretch and change his body in a way that ordinary people can't. His attacks also contain poison, and he can absorb vitality from the damage he dealt to his enemies.

"In order to fight with the vine-type bloodline, one had to have enough explosive power to break through the opponent's defense limit.

Once you're caught in a battle, you'll be tortured to death."

Ning Shi heard the conversation and turned back to question, "Your Highness Chapman, I wonder what the royal family thinks about the fact that the candidate for the Duke of Rose has a vine-type bloodline instead of a snake bloodline?"

Chapman didn't know what to say. This was not a glorious matter. As the heir to the Duke of Rose, Gray was supposed to inherit the snake bloodline.

"Where did this nobody come from?" Duke Georgina scolded. "Do you have the right to interrupt when the nobles are talking?"

Ning Shi chuckled, "Are you all nobles? I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't expect that the high and mighty nobles would be a little blind and unable to see the battle situation clearly."

As soon as Ning Shi's voice fell, Lena, who had been tortured by the double negative states of poison attack and vitality absorption, reached the critical point, and the effect of unyielding will was triggered.

Lena's face suddenly turned red, and the negative effects were almost completely removed. Her speed suddenly increased!

Her battle prowess had been greatly enhanced, and she finally pulled out the Golden Serpent Sword that had never been unsheathed!

"Zing!"

A huge golden sword ray rose from the ground. On the blade, there were red flames and green wind blades.

This attack directly triggered a 25% chance of a triple-critical hit!

Gray felt the danger, and all the hair on his body stood up. He tried to dodge, but it was to no avail.

Buzzzzzz!

Gray felt his lower body turn cold, and he could no longer feel his legs. 𝑛𝗈𝒱𝐞𝐥𝑢𝔰𝔅.𝗰𝒐𝓶

With just one sword strike, Gray's entire body was split into two from the base of his leg!

Fresh blood spurted out wildly, raising a red color in the air, and then sprinkled on the battle stage.

"Du du du! Lena wins!"

The judge was an expert, so he immediately announced the result of the match.

"Argh! Ah! Save me! Quickly save me!"

Gray had lost his combat ability, but he was still alive. Vine-type bloodline warriors had strong vitality. As long as he recuperated properly, his legs could be reconnected.

However, the pain from his broken limbs made Gray, who was already weak-willed, howl in pain.

He couldn't care less about his dignity as a noble and cried for help in fear.

The audience below the stage was originally very lively, but at this moment, they were shocked by the bloody scene and the miserable howls.

The entire place was silent.

The arena battle wasn't a game. Sacred honor was exchanged for one's life.

Ning Shi smiled and pointed at the screaming Gray. "I told you, your eyes are really bad. With such shallow knowledge, you don't look like nobles who have received elite education."

Georgina was furious after being insulted by Ning Shi. She almost attacked but was stopped by Chapman.

"Mr. Zhang San, I hope you can still be this happy when you fight against my third brother, Alesia."

Chapman didn't like Alesia, but he knew how strong he was. He had seen the arrangement and knew that Zhang San would fight Alesia in the last round.

In contrast to Chapman and Georgina's embarrassment and anger, Duke Kingsley was completely shocked.

He closed his pure white eyes and muttered, "It's also one of the eight great branches, but a Level 3 bloodline is able to defeat a Level 5 bloodline. This is an unprecedented feat!

"Lena's talent is terrifying!"

In Gray's faction, Dupont, the Marquis of Blackstone, clenched the armrests of his table and chairs tightly, the veins on his hands bulging.

"I didn't think that Lena's talent would be so amazing. She only trained for two months, and she was able to defeat Gray, who had trained for more than ten years. We seem to have made the wrong choice!"

Dupont was very upset, but the Marquis of the Dolphin, who was next to him, did not feel so burdened. He praised.

"That sword just now was brilliant and scorching hot!

I've practiced swordsmanship for thirty years, but I can't even compare to this sword!"

Alesia's eyes were filled with fanaticism as he stared at the beautiful Lena on the stage.

"Lionheart, you're right. Lena is the peerless great empress. Such a powerful and beautiful woman is the one I should pursue!"

Lionheart Blade trembled and said, "Alesia, Lena's victorious strike made me feel the great power of fate.

"We've done so much just to make Lena lose her position as Duke, but fate is everywhere. It seems that it's secretly setting things right, and the position of Duke will always belong to Lena."

Alesia showed his rarely-seen decisiveness.

"No, Lionheart.

"Everything we do will leave traces and influence.

"Although Lena won against Gray, we will still win the subsequent two battles.

"The dukedom is Gray's if I say so. Even fate can not twist my will."

The Lionheart Blade fell silent again. It was extremely tired.

The young man didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth and didn't understand the great power of fate, which was why he dared to speak so arrogantly.

Lena shook her hand, and the blood on the sword was all blown away.

...

"Zing!" She sheathed his sword!

"Lady Lena! Lady Lena! Lady Lena!"

The crowd of onlookers below the stage finally came back to their senses and crazily shouted the winner's name.

In the midst of the cheers, Lena slowly walked down the stage. She went straight to Ning Shi's side and kissed his cheek, ignoring the crowd's attention.

Instantly, Ning Shi became the man who received the most attention.

Countless men stared at Ning Shi with envious eyes, especially Alesia, whose eyes were about to spit fire.

Observing Lena up close, Ning Shi could feel her excitement. He couldn't help sighing in his heart. Lena was really born to fight.

Not only did she not reject dangerous battles, but she would also immerse herself in the thrill of the battle.

Although Figo was also jealous of Ning Shi, he was overjoyed in his heart.

"Father, I didn't expect Lena to defeat Gray. This is great!

"Next, as long as I defeat Val, Lena will become a Duke, and our wish can still be fulfilled!"

...

Tagore was also excited, and his palms were full of sweat. Lena had just defeated Gray with one strike, and his heart was in his throat!

After Hawk left, he no longer held any hope for victory in the arena.

He had already arranged an escape route. After the competition ended, he would take his tribesmen and a small number of the Rose Knights' loyal troops and escape back to the Ole Empire.

He didn't expect things to take a turn for the better, and Lena defeated Gray in an impossible situation!

"Figo, my son, the future of the family is in your hands! As the unrivaled tiger bloodline, I believe that you will be the winner!"

Figo stood up with confidence and prepared to go up the stage for a duel.

Before he left, he did not forget to mock Ning Shi.

"Zhang San, I'm sorry, but you won't have the chance to play! However, you should thank me. My victory can prevent you from being massacred by His Highness Alesia."

Ning Shi held Lena's warm hand and said with a smile, "I'm looking forward to your performance!"

In Gray's camp, Val held a long sword and was ready to go up, but Duke Georgina stopped him.

"Val, my child, the title of Duke is no longer important. We must fight for the dignity of the vine-type bloodline in this battle! The so-called invincible tiger bloodline is all bullshit!"

Georgina had always been resentful of the tiger bloodline's honor of being invincible in one-on-one combat. In her heart, the vine-type bloodline was the strongest.

In addition, she was provoked by Ning Shi's words. Georgina was a little emotional and actually cursed in front of everyone in the hall.

All the nobles sat upright and still, as if they had not heard Duke Georgina's words.

Compared to Gray's bamboo-like body, Val's body was well-proportioned, and he exuded a strong bloody aura.

After hearing his mother's words, a cruel smile appeared on Val's face, and his red pupils revealed a bloodthirsty light.

"Don't worry, Your Excellency. I can't wait to taste Figo's blood!"

74 Cooperative Performance

Figo and Val stood opposite each other on the battle stage.

With the judge's order, Figo attacked first!

"Roar!"

A tiger's roar reverberated throughout the square, and just the aftershock made many of the onlookers either faint in fear or faint.

!!

Val was the direct target of The tiger's roar. His body was stiff and he could not move.

With the roar of a tiger, Figo's body expanded from 1.8 meters to more than three meters tall.

The muscles all over his body swelled up like huge and hard stones stacked together. The armor he wore was obviously specially made and had a great extension.

Figo's eyes were bloodshot, and sharp claws that were about a foot long grew out of his ten fingers. As he waved them rapidly, Val's body was instantly covered in wounds.

In the face of Figo's storm-like attacks, Val was like a small flower swaying in the wind and rain, about to wither at any moment.

Figo had the absolute upper hand on the scene, but Tagore looked nervous and frowned.

Figo was the same as him. They had both advanced through the Thunderstorm tiger bloodline. However, Figo had a Level 6 bloodline, and it was a rampage tiger bloodline.

As soon as the fight started, Figo immediately released his two skills, rage and sharp claws, in an attempt to unleash his highest attack power and tear through Val's defense.

However, although Val looked like he was in danger, he was able to turn danger into safety every time. Figo's attack had failed for a long time, and victory and defeat were already set.

Under the influence of the blood-devouring spell, Val became more and more courageous as he fought, while Figo's face became paler and paler. In the end, he could no longer maintain his berserk state, and his body returned to normal.

After the berserk ended, Figo's body became weak. Val did not show any mercy, and the long sword in his hand launched a series of attacks.

Although it was called a sword, it was more like a sword-shaped whip.

The soft sword's attack angle was extremely tricky, and it moved one after another.

After a short while, Figo was covered in blood. Seeing the blood, Val became even more excited, and his attacks increased in frequency.

Figo knew that he was going to lose and wanted to admit defeat, but Val's every attack was aimed at his vital parts. He could only try his best to block and did not have the time to speak.

By the time Tagore realized that something was wrong and admitted defeat, Figo was already covered in blood. He lay on the stage, his life or death unknown. 𝒩𝑜𝐕𝑒𝐥𝚞𝑠𝐛.𝒞𝗈𝗆

Ning Shi laughed and clapped. "What a wonderful performance! The scene is eye-opening!

Tagore's face was livid. He had no time to argue with Ning Shi. His figure flashed and he appeared on the stage to check on Figo's injuries.

The tiger bloodline was strong in one-on-one combat, but its vitality and recovery rate were slightly worse than other bloodlines. Figo's injuries would take at least a year to recover from.

After a year of recuperation, Figo's path to advancing his bloodline had been cut off.

Tagore's eyes were cold, but considering the situation in front of him, he held back.

After handing Figo over to the butler for treatment, Tagore regained his calm and greeted Prince Chapman.

"Your Highness, my son's injuries are too severe. I'm worried and have to take my leave."

Chapman nodded and asked Tagore to take care of Figo.

Tagore left in a hurry. He was sure that Ning Shi was no match for Alesia. After Figo's defeat, Lena lost her position as a Duke.

At this moment, using Figo's injury as an excuse, he quickly returned to the manor and evacuated Rose City according to the original plan.

Ning Shi looked at Tagore's back with a meaningful smile on his face. Then he picked up his heavy meteoric iron knife and flashed directly to the battle stage.

Looking at Ning Shi standing on the stage with a long knife in his arms, the aristocrats in the audience and the crowd below the stage were in a heated discussion. No one knew Ning Shi's background.

These people might have heard of the name of Ning Shi, the Lord of extreme wilderness, but they did not know his exact appearance.

Georgina stared at Ning Shi for a while and said with a smile, "Your Highness, even you don't know the background of this Zhang San?"

Val had just defeated Figo, and it was a complete victory. Duke Georgina's mood turned from gloomy to sunny, and her words were filled with a smile and flirtatious manner.

"No." Chapman shook his head. "The list was only decided this morning. There was too little time. We didn't have time to investigate Zhang San's background.

The crowd was also in an uproar.

"Who is this Zhang San? You actually have the courage to duel with His Highness Alesia."

"That's right. His Highness Alesia is the most powerful genius of the royal family. In the entire continent, he's also a genius."

"Argh! His Highness Alesia went up the stage! He has golden hair and deep, charming eyes. He's so charming. I really want to have his children!"

"What are you thinking? You're a man…"

After Alesia came to Rose City, she deliberately created the image of a noble of justice. In just a week, he had already gained a high reputation in Rose City.

As he stepped onto the stage, the audience cheered.

Even his elder brother Chapman put down his prejudice and cheered for him.

Looking at Alesia standing in front of him, holding a purple and gold curved knife in his hand, Ning Shi's mouth flashed a smile.

He was still thinking about his mission.

[ Must-kill mission: Seize Alesia's weapon-Lionheart Blade. The Lionheart Blade has recognized its owner. You can only seize it after killing the host. Mission time limit: 3 years. Punishment for failure: Spiritual Power -10, Constitution -20 ]

In addition to helping Lena win the title of Duke, his biggest goal in coming to Rose City was to kill Alesia and get the Lionheart Blade.

Ning Shi was not here to duel but to kill.

Ning Shi was very satisfied that he could have a duel with Alesia in this arena contest.

Alesia was also very satisfied. He looked at the smiling Ning Shi and directly opened his mouth to expose Ning Shi's identity.

"The Lord of the extreme wilderness, Your Excellency Ning Shi, aren't you maintaining order in Duohuang City? Why have you come to Rose City?"

Today, Alesia had made up his mind to step on Ning Shi and forge his own prestige.

He had to let everyone know Ning Shi's identity first. Only defeating and subduing Ning Shi like this would it cause people to be greatly shocked.

...

Alesia's words were deliberately transmitted using magic power, and her voice spread to every corner of Victory Square.

The faces of the nobles in the audience changed.

Chapman's face was ashen. He had heard of Ning Shi's identity and knew that Ning Shi had been recruited by his brother.

He saw through Alesia's intention and his heart skipped a beat. Alesia could win, but defeating a nobody, Zhang San, and defeating the Lord of the extreme wilderness, Ning Shi, were two completely different things.

Alesia was Chapman's number one competitor for the throne. No one liked their competitor to be in the limelight.

Kingsley had also heard of Ning Shi's name. His expression changed, but he kept quiet. On the other hand, Georgina looked at Ning Shi with great interest, as if she was very interested in him.

Among the crowd below the stage, a small number of people had heard of Ning Shi's deeds. Most people were limited by the delay in the transmission of information and did not know who the Lord of extreme wilderness was.

This instead intensified the heat of the discussion, and Ning Shi's reputation quickly spread among the crowd.

[ The Lionheart Blade is sending you a message through the power of the bloodline servant. Do you accept? Yes, no. ]

Ning Shi's expression did not change as he received Lionheart Blade's message.

[ To cooperate with Alesia's performance, please answer: "Your Highness Alesia's reputation is known by everyone in Duohuang City. I'm here to admire Your Highness's reputation and would like to have a spar with you." ]

...

Ning Shi was speechless. How could this Alesia think of such a disgusting dialog? In order to numb him, he could only suppress his disgust.

Ning Shi closed his eyes and read out the lines the Lionheart Blade had passed on.

The crowd was in an uproar. Duke Georgina looked at Chapman with interest and said faintly.

"It's rumored that His Highness Alesia has subdued Duohuang City's master, Ning Shi. It seems to be true."

Alesia laughed and said boldly, "Since ancient times, heroes have always cherished heroes. Today, let's have a great battle to determine the final ownership of the Duke of Rose!

In the crowd below the stage, someone sighed and said, "Two heroic figures admired each other and had a fair duel. The chip in the duel was the title of Duke. What happened today will definitely be widely spread on the continent and praised by future generations.

"We are witnessing history!"

[ The Lionheart Blade is sending you a message through the power of the bloodline servant. Do you accept? Yes, no. ]

"Cooperate with Alesia in the fight. You can slash Alesia with all your strength, and Alesia will block it with his golden mech to show his defensive power. After that, he will show off his coolest moves one by one. Try your best to avoid them, but don't interrupt them, and don't lose too quickly. ]

With a smile on his face, Ning Shi raised the long knife in his hand and casually slashed at Alesia.

The blade left an afterimage as it cut through the air, letting out a whistling sound!

In terms of momentum, the power of this blade was very terrifying.

Seeing Ning Shi's action, Alesia roared in a very childish way.

!!

"Golden mech!"

A mech quickly attached itself to Alesia's body, and a golden light shot out in all directions from his body. The crowd below the stage covered their eyes.

Bang!

A loud noise was heard as the meteoric heavy sword hit the golden mech.

The mech fluctuated, and Ning Shi's sharp blade was blocked.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Ning Shi's continuous attacks were easily blocked by the golden light armor.

The crowd exclaimed.

"His Highness Alesia's golden mech is too powerful. Even Lord Ning Shi's terrifying long blade can't break through the mech's defense.

"As expected of His Highness Alesia. Her defense is simply invincible."

Hearing the crowd's discussion, Alesia was ecstatic. He glanced at Lena and saw that she was staring at him. Alesia became even more excited.

"Golden Eye!"

An eye suddenly appeared on his palm. It was a Golden Eye.

After opening his eyes, a golden light wave shot out, forming a straight line and shooting towards Ning Shi.

Ning Shi deliberately slowed down, letting the light wave brush past his arm. In an instant, the armor on Ning Shi's arm melted, and his arm turned black. A large piece of flesh was taken away.

After the light wave passed Ning Shi, it hit the houses far away from the square.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The houses collapsed, and the crowd was shocked and terrified.

Seeing this, the judge immediately activated the magic core shield on the battle stage.

With Ning Shi's cooperation, Alesia became more and more excited as he fought. He had the bloodline of the golden nine-eyed lion. Now that his bloodline had reached Level 6, he had already opened six eyes.

Each eye had a different skill.

In addition to the golden light eye in his first eye, he used the annihilate technique, the eye of the inner demon, and other skills in succession. He even deliberately fought in close combat, smashing several deep pits on the extremely solid stage.

In order to show off in front of the crowd and win the admiration of the crowd and Lena's heart, Alesia used all his skills to show off his strength.

With Ning Shi's cooperation, the more Alesia fought, the more satisfied he became. He completely relaxed his vigilance and only regarded this duel as an exhibition match.

In the end, Alesia used the skill of his sixth eye, the impede technique, and fixed Ning Shi in place.

He walked in front of Ning Shi without any defense and deliberately said loudly.

"Your Excellency Ning Shi, you're a powerful opponent. No wonder you're a prodigy who could unify Duohuang. Unfortunately, you've encountered me!"

Alesia threw a punch, trying to knock Ning Shi down and end the performance.

At this moment, he was extremely relaxed and his expression was very proud. When the knife light flashed in his eyes, he didn't even react. 𝔫𝒐𝑽𝔢𝑙𝗎𝓈𝚋.𝓒𝑜𝑚

Even Lionheart Blade couldn't react in time.

The absolute trust in the bloodline servant contract, coupled with Ning Shi's previous performance, completely numbed Alesia's vigilance.

In the face of Ning Shi's all-out attack, Alesia had no reaction.

His head flew into the air, and blood spurted out from his neck.

Then, his body fell and his head rolled on the stage.

This strike was so fast that no one could react in time. Even Alesia had a smug smile on his face.

His smile was covered in blood, which made it look bloody and strange.

After killing Alesia, Ning Shi didn't stop. He walked directly to Alesia's side and put the Lionheart Blade into his backpack.

Only then did the crowd react, and there was a commotion at the scene.

The judge stared at Ning Shi fiercely and asked, "It's just a duel. Why did you kill His Highness Alesia?"

Ning Shi raised his bloodied long knife and faced the judge.

"On the battle stage, as long as one side doesn't admit defeat, they must fight to the end, regardless of life and death! The honor of the battle stage is sacred and inviolable. Please announce my victory!"

The bloodstains on the knife stung the judge's eyes. Coupled with the Draconic might and sword intent emitted by Ning Shi, the judge was immediately frightened and announced loudly.

"Prince Alesia is dead. The winner is the Lord of extreme wilderness, Ning Shi!"

With the judge's announcement, Lena rushed to the ring and threw herself into Ning Shi's arms.

Ning Shi said as he stroked Lena's soft golden hair.

"Lena, now is not the time to celebrate. There's still a fierce battle ahead."

It was Ning Shi's scheme that had killed Alesia in one move.

Alesia didn't have time to use the Lionheart Blade's ability at all. Otherwise, even if he couldn't beat Ning Shi, Alesia could definitely escape.

Chapman experienced great sorrow and joy. When he walked up to the stage to announce the ownership of the dukedom, he still felt a little light-headed and unreal.

The younger brother that he had always feared died on the stage of the duel in Rose City.

...

At this moment, the glory of the royal family did not seem to be so important, and he was secretly happy.

"I hereby announce that the winner of this battle is Lady Lena. The position of Duke of Rose will be succeeded by Lady Lena. Let us congratulate Lady Lena!"

After the initial panic, the crowd had calmed down. When they heard the First Prince's announcement, they shouted in unison.

"Long live Lady Lena! Long live Lord Ning Shi!"

The crowd was extremely lively. They crazily worshipped the victor, and as for Alesia's glory, it was forgotten in the blink of an eye.

The ordinary people were watching the show, but the aristocrats knew the trick. They looked at Ning Shi with shock in their eyes.

The power displayed by Lord extreme wilderness' last strike had already exceeded the power of a Level 8 bloodline!

It wasn't a fluke that he was able to unify the Duohuang in such a short time.

With his help, Lena's position as Duke would definitely be secured.

Most of the nobles were already thinking about how to build a good relationship with Lady Lena in advance.

However, some people didn't think so.

...

The leader of the city guards, Marco, followed Duke Georgina and a group of nobles who supported Gray. They surrounded the injured Gray and quietly left.

Ning Shi saw their actions, but he had no time to care.

This was because the game system had given him a prompt.

[ Killed Alesia and obtained the Lionheart Blade. You have completed the kill mission. You have received 10 million experience points and an advanced Bloodline Guidance Technique. ]

[ Acquired Lionheart Blade. Activating item recovery and synthesis module. ]

[ Mandatory mission: Please return the Lionheart Blade to the game system. Punishment for mission failure: Spiritual Power -15, Physique -20. ]

Ning Shi looked around. The crowd was celebrating wildly, and the aristocrats had also begun to socialize.

As the person who was about to inherit the title of Duke of Rose, Lena was sought after by a group of nobles.

Ning Shi took Lena's hand and said to her, "Gray's forces are ready to seize the title of nobility by force. They might assassinate you. Let's go to Rat Street and meet up with my troops."

Lena was a genius in fighting, but she was not good at political fights. She believed in Ning Shi's judgment and followed him, but she had doubts in her heart.

"I won the decisive victory in the arena battle and obtained the right of inheritance to the title under the witness of the royal family and the major nobles of the empire. If Gray reneges, where will the face of the royal family and the nobles be?"

Ning Shi sensed the servant's position and quickly approached Rat Street, talking as he walked.

"You won the duel and are the first in line for the title of nobility. But if you die, Gray will automatically become the first in line. If they start a riot and kill you, they have a hundred ways to cover up the story.

"Gray will become the hero who will avenge you and inherit the title of Duke.

"You should have killed Gray with one strike today. That would save you a lot of trouble!"

"Let's meet up with the Undying Trump Troop first. I have to deal with an urgent matter first. Then, I will break into Gray's residence and kill him to avoid future trouble!

On the battle stage, there were too many people. Ning Shi was worried that Lena would be assassinated and had to protect her, so he couldn't deal with the Lionheart Blade.

He planned to meet up with the Undying Trump Troop first. With them, Lena's safety would be guaranteed, and he could figure out the secret of the Lionheart Blade first.

Report chapter Comments

The two of them ran at full speed and soon arrived at an abandoned house on Rat Street.

No matter how prosperous the city was, there would always be slums and dark evil.

Rat Street was the place of chaos in Rose City.

After Ning Shi met up with the Undying Trump Troop, he directly gave the order.

!!

"Maku Gu, protect Lady Lena. Check your weapons and equipment, and prepare for battle!"

With that, Ning Shi turned to the clean room and sat down, taking out the Lionheart Blade from his backpack.

The Lionheart Blade sensed danger and kept shaking in Ning Shi's hand. The blade made an ear-piercing sound, trying to break free from Ning Shi's hand and escape.

After struggling for a while, it found that it couldn't break free from Ning Shi's restraint, so Lionheart Blade begged for mercy.

"Ning Shi, I can recognize you as my master, and you will gain great power. Don't put me in the unknown space anymore, please!

The Lionheart Blade felt extreme danger in the system backpack, and it didn't want to be put in there again.

Ning Shi was expressionless and asked directly, "What abilities do you have? You'd better tell me everything. Otherwise, I'll have to sacrifice you to the big boss behind me!

If he didn't return the Lionheart to the game system, Ning Shi would lose 35 Physique points.

He might consider it.

"I'm the origin weapon that shoulders the mission of the world. After I recognize you as my master, you'll automatically become the Son of Heaven and have the destiny to unify the human world.

"As long as it's about the unification of the human race, you'll receive the help of heaven's will. Everything will go smoothly and you'll be successful!"

A mocking smile flashed across the corner of Ning Shi's mouth. "Your ability doesn't seem very good. Alesia was your master, but I killed him before he could complete his mission.

Ning Shi's words of ridicule were to suppress Lionheart Blade's pride, but he still acknowledged Lionheart Blade's ability in his heart.

If it wasn't for the help of the game system, Ning Shi might have been contracted as a bloodline servant by Lionheart Blade at the very beginning, and Alesia wouldn't have died.

The Lionheart Blade glowed with red and green light. It was silent for a while before it continued.

"The existence behind you has interfered with the power of fate… Other than granting you the destiny of the chosen one, I have three other great abilities.

"The first is bloodline absorption. I can absorb power from the bloodlines of the people or magical beasts that I have killed and feed it back to the host. This power can strengthen the host's physique and also help the host increase the speed of the bloodline's advancement.

"The second is bloodline servants. I can forcibly take in intelligent creatures as my bloodline servants. The success rate of the contract depends on the Spiritual Power of the host and the target.

"After becoming my bloodline servant, my life and death are in the hands of the host. I can also send and receive information for my servants and help the host gather information."

Ning Shi interrupted Lionheart Blade and asked, "Alesia is your host. After he dies, what will happen to the bloodline servants you've contracted?"

"They'll go through a test of the bloodline curse. Those who pass the test will regain their freedom and free will. Those who fail will die with Alesia.

"Alesia and I had previously made a contract with more than a dozen high levels, including three generals. The Ole Empire had also accepted a few nobles and generals as bloodline servants.

"These arrangements were all in preparation for the unification of the Moen Continent. With Alesia's death, everything has vanished."

Lionheart Blade's words reminded Ning Shi that he had not made good use of the function of recruiting servants.

It seemed like a waste to simply use it to form an Undying Trump Troop. 𝒏𝐎𝑣𝓮𝓛𝐔𝕊𝒷.𝑪𝗈𝓂

He should be like Alesia, quietly subduing the leaders of the major forces to help him expand his forces.

Seeing that Ning Shi was silent, Lionheart Blade continued, "My third ability is called the origin armband. I can attach myself to the host as an armband. After activating the armband ability, the host's defense will decrease, but the host's physique will be greatly enhanced.

"The stronger one's physique, the greater the increase! After Alesia activated the armband's function, his physical fitness increased by more than three times!"

"Other than the four great abilities, I'm an indestructible treasure blade. Compared to my sharpness and durability, the long blade in your hand is just a pile of scrap metal.

Lionheart Blade began to feel proud after it revealed its abilities. Ning Shi had to admit that Lionheart Blade was indeed very powerful. Every ability of his was coveted by many.

But Ning Shi wouldn't let it be. He said angrily, "It was the scrap metal in my hand that killed your host!"

Lionheart Blade immediately shut up.

After understanding the Lionheart Blade's ability, Ning Shi no longer hesitated. He was ready to complete the mandatory task and retrieve the Lionheart Blade back to the game system.

Sensing the danger, the Lionheart Blade's body turned red, emitting a great amount of heat and blade. Ning Shi almost couldn't hold it.

"Don't destroy me! I have another ability!"

"As an origin weapon, I'm an origin treasure born from the power of the world, so I can see the trajectory of fate," Lionheart Blade said quickly.

"I can see the future and help you make the right choice now!

"As long as you promise not to destroy me, I will tell you the path of fate!"

As a native of Saturn, Ning Shi was a complete atheist who believed in the words of his leader, "Man can conquer heaven."

He did not believe in fate at all.

Even for the predictions in Centuries, he only thought that it was a deduction of natural phenomena, just like the prediction of the weather forecast.

As for a person's fate, there might be a ridiculous side to it, but it would always be in one's own hands.

Ning Shi opened the recycling system, put the Lionheart Blade in, and was about to click the recycling button.

Lionheart Blade went completely mad and roared loudly.

"You can't destroy me! If you destroy me, His Majesty Joerger will not let you off, and neither will this world's origin treasure! Without me, humanity will never be able to rise again. You will be the sinner of all humanity!"

An origin treasure? Ning Shi was a little curious. He wanted to take the Lionheart Blade down and interrogate it.

The system sent him a notification.

[ After retrieving the Lionheart Blade, all the secrets it knows will be transmitted to the player's consciousness. ]

After getting this prompt, Ning Shi directly pressed the recall button.

The Lionheart Blade was quickly annihilated and disappeared without a trace.

...

[ Lionheart Blade has been successfully retrieved. Mandatory mission completed. Reward: Experience points required to level up has been reduced by a quarter of the current experience points. ]

He took a look at his experience. It was originally Level 15 (37,580,000/40,960,000). He still needed 3,380,000 to level up, so it had now become Level 15 (0/845,000).

He was only 845,000 experience points away from leveling up again. Moreover, the experience points required to reach Level 17 had dropped from 81,920,000 to 20,480,000.

Ning Shi was just about to study the matter of leveling up experience again when a huge stream of consciousness was stuffed into his head.

Ning Shi gave a muffled groan and only felt a burst of swelling pain in his head. After about a few minutes, a memory appeared in his mind.

It was all the secrets contained in the Lionheart Blade's consciousness.

Ning Shi read it carefully and finally understood the background of the game world.

77 Origin Treasure

The game world's full name was the World of Moen. Originally, there was only one complete continent called the Moen Continent.

A thousand years ago, the Moen Continent was also known as the continent of gods.

At that time, humans were bathed in the light of the gods, and the gods gave them the power of magic.

Under the push of the magic civilization, the development of mankind was thriving.

With the existence of magical farming techniques and magical power, humans had an abundance of food, and their productivity was stronger. The population expanded rapidly.

At its peak, it had a population of nearly five billion.

Although there were occasional conflicts between the gods, the overall situation was peaceful.

However, the sudden appearance of the origin treasure disrupted everything.

The origin treasure contained the power of the world's original source, and its power level was even higher than the power of the laws of the gods. Whoever got the origin treasure would become the Supreme God!

Faced with the temptation of the ultimate treasure, a great battle broke out between the gods.

This battle was extremely brutal. The majestic Divine Kingdom was shattered, many gods fell, and even the Moen Continent was split into pieces.

As subordinates of the gods, humans also fought for their respective gods.

Humans were like ants on the ground, joining the battle of a bunch of beasts. The result could be imagined.

Countless humans died in the catastrophe, especially after the death of the god they believed in. Many humans lost their ability to cast spells and became lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

In a short ten years, the human population had fallen from five billion to less than five hundred million. If the war continued, humanity might be destroyed.

At this critical moment, a hero appeared in the human world. He was the last king of the Magic Empire and the first king of the blood empire, Edwardo.

He had discovered another powerful force in this world, the super magical beast.

A super magical beast could use magic by relying on the power of its bloodline. It did not need to rely on the gifts from the gods.

With their super strong bodies and casting abilities, super magical beasts were able to fight against the gods.

It was just that when the gods were at peace and flourishing, the super magical beasts were suppressed by the gods. As highly intelligent species, they had actually been resentful for a long time.

Upon noticing this subtle situation, Edwardo led the entire human empire to surrender to the super magical beasts and attacked the gods with them.

The gods, who had already suffered great losses due to internal strife, lost the faith of humans, and their power of faith was greatly reduced.

Faced with the counterattack of the super magical beasts, the situation was extremely passive. Many gods completely shut down their Divine Kingdoms in order to protect themselves.

After another ten years, the super magical beast won the Battle of the Gods, but the origin treasure was still missing.

After learning from the gods, the super magical beast held back its greed for the origin treasure.

The World of Moen finally welcomed peace.

The human world was plunged into misery and suffering, and the post-war population was only about 100 million.

Although it was brutal, humanity had survived the crisis of extinction and survived tenaciously.

According to the pre-battle contract, the super magical beasts had bestowed humans with eight types of Bloodline Guidance Techniques, corresponding to the eight rulers of the super magical beasts.

King Edwardo changed the name of the Magic Empire to the Bloodline Empire, and humans embarked on the path of bloodline warriors.

super magical beasts were different from gods. They did not need the faith of humans, and they looked down on humans who had weak bodies.

The Battle of the Gods had split the entire Moen Continent into 12 pieces.

The super magical beasts used the great power of magic to fill the sea and create land. They connected 11 of the continents together and named them the magical beast continent.

The smallest continent was left to the humans, which was the current Moen Continent.

Ning Shi finally understood why he couldn't find an advanced magical beast on the Moen Continent.

This was because once a magical beast had advanced to a high level, it would awaken its bloodline inheritance and intelligence. The super magical beast would view the advanced magical beasts as its own kind and bring them to the magical beast continent to live.

He had also left behind information related to the magical beast continent in his bloodline inheritance.

On the Moen Continent, as long as an intermediate magical beast had advanced to an advanced magical beast, it would be able to obtain information about the magical beast continent from its bloodline inheritance. It would then take the initiative to use the teleportation array left behind by the super magical beasts to live on the magical beast continent.

Therefore, there were almost no advanced magical beasts on the Moen Continent, and advanced magic cores became a rare treasure.

Most of the advanced magic cores in the human world were left behind from the Age of the Gods a thousand years ago. A very small number of them were obtained by killing advanced magical beasts that had not had the time to go to the magical beast continent.

After the super magical beasts gave up on the humans, the remaining gods began to play tricks.

They supported the elves under the leadership of the ancient nature God, the sun god, and the moon god.

Due to the death of the Beastman God, the elves destroyed the Beastman Empire and established the Elven Empire. They also used the differences in human ideals to split the Bloodline Empire.

800 years ago, the Bloodline Empire was split into two.

Of the eight human nobles who had mastered the Bloodline Guidance Technique, four of them believed that humans should remain independent and no longer be a vassal of any force or race.

Together, they established the Brad Empire.

The other four families believed that human power originated from the bloodline of the super magical beasts, so they should be attached to the super magical beast and obtain more powerful strength from it.

Together, these four great clans established the Ole Empire.

With the Lionheart Blade's knowledge, Ning Shi had a clear understanding of the situation in the World of Moen.

The power behind the Ole Empire was a super magical beast, the Elven Empire was supported by the remaining gods, and the Brad Empire wanted to maintain its independence, hoping to walk down the path of human development.

In terms of philosophy, of course, Ning Shi supported the Brad Empire. However, things didn't go as he wished. Now that he had killed Alesia and snatched the Lionheart Blade, he had a personal grudge against the Brad Empire's royal family.

The direction of the world's development seemed to be in favor of humans, and it could be seen from Lena's destiny that she would lead the humans to rise up and fight against the super magical beasts and gods.

But from the current situation, humans were the weakest.

The origin of bloodline warriors was the super magical beasts. In this regard, humans were naturally inferior.

...

For example, King Joerger of the Brad Empire had the bloodline of a Level 9 golden nine-eyed lion.

However, Joerger's bloodline would be instantly suppressed, and he would not be able to use his full strength if he faced the golden nine-eyed lion.

Only by achieving the Supreme Bloodline could one break away from the bloodline's suppression, and humans would be able to fight against super magical beasts and gods. However, no one in the human world had achieved the Supreme Bloodline.

According to Lionheart Blade's guess, the super magical beast must have tampered with the guidance technique when it bestowed the eight great Bloodline Guidance Techniques to humans.

Otherwise, with the talent of humans, after a thousand years, there would definitely be someone who could achieve the highest. 𝔫𝒐𝑽𝔢𝑙𝗎𝓈𝚋.𝓒𝑜𝑚

Ning Shi also agreed with Lionheart Blade's guess. He thought of the reward from the mission, the advanced Bloodline Guidance Technique, and quickly checked the details.

[ Advanced Bloodline Guidance Technique Version: A guidance technique suitable for all bloodlines. As long as it is an intelligent creature, it can be cultivated to the highest bloodline. Note: This guidance technique has a high requirement for talent. Those with poor comprehension and qualifications will not be able to enter the level. ]

Ning Shi was overjoyed. Not only could he cultivate this Bloodline Guidance Technique, but he could also teach it to Lena and his followers to increase their strength.

"Could it be that Lena learned the Bloodline Guidance Technique that isn't restricted by a super magical beast because she met me, and thus achieved the Supreme Bloodline?"

Ning Shi muttered in his heart.

The game system actually gave a direct response!

...

[ The advanced version of the Bloodline Guidance Technique will be created by the Supreme Human Empress Lena in three years' time. ]

In the end, it turned out to be a cultivation method that Lena created herself, which was plagiarized by the game system. Ning Shi asked another question.

"Who was the one who invented the extreme body forging method?"

[ The extreme body forging method was created by the Desolate Hero, Azigu. ]

The Desolate Hero Azigu must also be a heaven's favorite.

Ning Shi felt that the game system had become more intelligent after retrieving the Lionheart Blade. It actually began to answer all questions.

He asked the question that he was most concerned about.

"Who created this game, and why does it have such a magical ability?"

Ning Shi was just asking casually, but he didn't expect the system to really give an explanation!

[ The game Centuries evolved from the origin treasure of the Saturn World. In theory, every world will give birth to an origin treasure that contains the power of the world's origin. ]

[ Origin treasures don't have consciousness, but they will instinctively transform into corresponding treasures according to the civilization of their own world and find their host. ]

[ The origin treasure of the Saturn World has chosen to evolve into the game system, invading other worlds in the form of the host's avatar and devouring other origin treasures to strengthen itself. ]

Report chapter Comments

Ning Shi asked a classic question.

"Why me? Why did Saturn's origin treasure choose me as its host?"

Ning Shi was just an ordinary person. He might have some special abilities, but it was not enough to be chosen by an origin treasure.

This didn't make sense.

The game system gave the answer.

[ After the origin treasure finished simulating the game, it randomly sent a pop-up advertisement to the mobile phones of more than 100,000 people. You were the first to click and download the game. ]

[ You're the fastest man on Saturn, so you've become the host. ]

Ning Shi was speechless.

There were also benefits to being a fast man…

Game system, I suspect you are pulling my foot, and I have evidence!

The biggest doubt in Ning Shi's heart was finally solved. The game system evolved from the origin treasure, and he had obtained the origin treasure purely by chance.

Perhaps he had a very miserable life in his previous life, and the origin treasure was a form of repayment for his tragic past.

Perhaps he would experience a lot of pain in the future, and the origin treasure was an overdraft of his future luck.

Sparks of dialectical thinking and fate sighing flashed in Ning Shi's mind.

No matter what, this was a burst of luck.

His hand speed was fast, and he managed to grab his own golden finger.

According to the game, the World of Moen was a real world!

Lena, Snow Fog, Bruce, and the others were all real people. They were not NPCs generated from data.

There were some subtle changes in Ning Shi's heart.

After calming down, he asked again, "Since the World of Moen really exists, why would there be a quest icon above the heads of some people in the novice village? The wild rabbits outside the village gathered together and didn't know how to run. This clearly doesn't match the real situation."

[ The novice village is the game system's way of allowing the host to adapt to the setting of the game world. A small number of characters and monsters were developed by the system, and the mission icons can only be seen by the host. On one hand, the mission system allows the host to increase the game experience, and on the other, it guides the host to become stronger. ]

[ Most of the characters in the novice village were real. The novice village was chosen to be in the Black Bear Village because Lena was there. ]

[ In theory, the Son of Heaven has the highest probability of coming into contact with the origin treasure. If an avatar comes into contact with Lena, it will be beneficial for him to obtain clues about the origin treasure. ]

Ning Shi instantly understood that it wasn't fate that he and Lena met. Everything was arranged by the game system.

The game system knew that Lena was the chosen one.

So this was the reason why the system had been controlling its avatar to please Lena while it was still AFK.

As for the appearance of intimacy between characters, it was probably also secretly guided by the origin treasure.

No matter if it was an arrangement or a coincidence, it was fine as long as his feelings for Lena were real. Ning Shi didn't feel conflicted.

[ Among the host's power to level up, the mission experience and potential points come from the origin power of the origin treasure on Saturn. The power to kill enemies and level up comes from the life potential absorption ability of the origin treasure.

[ For the convenience of the host's understanding, the game system has adopted the setting of leveling up by experience points. ]

[ After absorbing the origin weapon Lionheart Blade, the origin treasure has obtained a large amount of the origin power of the World of Moen. The efficiency of absorbing life potential in the World of Moen has increased, so the experience required to level up has been reduced. ]

[ After absorbing more origin power, the host's experience for leveling up will be further reduced. Please pay attention to the origin weapon and origin treasure. ]

[ According to the system's speculation, the origin treasure of the World of Moen had instinctively hidden its true form due to the Battle of the Gods. It had split off a part of its power to evolve into an origin weapon.

[ After the Lionheart Blade is destroyed, the origin treasure will evolve into another origin weapon. Please pay attention. ]

Ning Shi also understood the Lionheart Blade's mission. It was to help Alesia unify the human world, then find the entrance to other worlds, launch an invasion war, and seize the other world's origin treasures.

No wonder Lionheart Blade's bloodline servant contract didn't work. The power of the origin weapon was completely blocked by the origin treasure of Saturn.

Now that the Lionheart Blade had been destroyed, the origin treasure of the World of Moen would instinctively create another origin weapon to complete the Lionheart Blade's unfinished mission.

According to the system notification, the origin treasure did not have any intelligence. It only acted on instinct. Otherwise, it would not have split its power again after the Lionheart Blade was destroyed.

As for the game system's intelligence, it should be the result of the evolution of the origin treasure of Saturn. This was the same as the Lionheart Blade, which had intelligence but the origin treasure of World of Moen only had its own consciousness.

Although it was only an instinct, the actions of an origin treasure would instinctively follow the trajectory of fate.

Ning Shi speculated that since the main fate of the World of Moen was the rise of mankind, the next origin weapon would still be the Brad Empire, which represented the rise of mankind.

He had to work with Lena and completely control the large forces from Duohuang City to the Rose City territory, and use them as a base to develop an Intelligence Department.

After that, he would closely monitor the unusual events in the Brad Empire, especially if there were any geniuses who had suddenly risen.

Because after the system answered Ning Shi's question, it directly issued two ultimate missions.

[ Ultimate Mission 1: Obtain the origin treasure of the World of Moen and recycle it into the game system. ]

[ Ultimate Mission 2: Enter the World of Moen with your main body and retrieve your game avatar. ]

[ As a Hunter, you are also the prey of others. As long as the ultimate mission has not been completed, and you will face fatal danger! ] 𝓝𝑜𝓋𝔢𝑙𝒰𝗌𝔅.𝒞𝑂𝑀

The words fatal danger were written in bright red. Ning Shi felt the cruelty.

If there really was a greater world, and every world had an origin treasure, then the enemy he would face would be the owners of the other origin treasures.

The instinct of the origin treasures was to devour each other to strengthen themselves. If Ning Shi did not complete the ultimate mission this time and lay a good foundation for his future, he would be killed by the host of the origin treasure in other worlds…

Just like Alesia.

This was a competition where only one of them could survive.

To a certain extent, this was also a competition between the civilizations born in each world.

This was because the origin treasure would instinctively evolve its specific abilities according to the civilization of its own world. For example, the Lionheart Blade that was split from the origin treasure of the World of Moen had most of its abilities related to fate and bloodline.

...

And the origin treasure of Saturn evolved into the game system.

Perhaps he had also heard of The Fourth Calamity?

Perhaps there were other reasons?

Putting away his reverie, Ning Shi took out his heavy meteoric heavy sword and walked to the front hall of the abandoned house.

Lena was standing in the middle of the Undying Trump Troop, excitedly conversing with Maku Gu.

Lena's tall and slender figure seemed petite among the extreme barbarians who were more than 2.3 meters tall.

Seeing Ning Shi come out, Lena said excitedly.

"Ning Shi, your Undying Trump Troop is too strong! Each and every one of these warriors is more powerful than me. How did you find so many powerful warriors?"

Ning Shi laughed. "You'll know why they're so powerful when you go to Duohuang."

The endless chaos and conflicts in Duohuang were like a bloody meat grinder. Those who could survive several rounds in the meat grinder without being ground into pieces were the elites of the elites.

Although Ning Shi had established order in Duohuang, for the sake of commercial prosperity, he did not limit the freedom of Duohuang too much.

...

Although the bloody arena was banned, the arena's business was still booming.

In the arena, there were still countless warriors who were willing to fight to the death for honor and wealth.

There was a saying that a hero could never win over a penny.

Sometimes, being strong did not necessarily mean that one could obtain wealth.

The arena in Duohuang provided a stage for these powerful experts who lacked money. If they won here, not only would they obtain a large amount of wealth, but they would also obtain various titles and honors.

Fame and fortune were like poison. It continuously attracted many experts from the Moen Continent to fight in the arena in the Duohuang.

Ning Shi, on the other hand, gained a source of powerful warriors.

Ning Shi was just about to lead the troops to Rose Street when the cat-human Keli walked in.

"My Lord, the latest news is that the city guards have already occupied the Duke's mansion and the City Hall. Their leader, Marco, has announced to the public that the heir to the Duke, Lena, has been threatened by you and has been imprisoned by you.

Rose City entered a state of combat readiness. The entire city was under martial law, and all the gates were closed.

Marco gave a short speech in the City Hall, claiming that the city guards had already seen through the plot of Duohuang City to invade the Rose City territory, and that they were currently capturing the spies of Duohuang City to save the heir to the Duke, Lady Lena."

Lena was dumbfounded after listening to Keli's story. She finally understood the cruelty and shamelessness of political battles.

Ning Shi, however, was already prepared. He originally wanted to strike first and gain the upper hand, but he did not expect Marco to be faster.

"Are Marco and Gray together now?"

"Marco and Gray are at the City Hall. First Prince Chapman has already taken the teleportation array back to the capital to report to His Majesty Joerger about Prince Alesia's death.

The other great aristocrats noticed the tense situation in Rose City and also took the teleportation array to leave. At present, the teleportation array in Rose City has been closed."

"Duke of Rosaceae Georgina has left too?" 𝐧𝑶𝚟𝑒𝓵𝑈𝑠𝓑.𝔠𝔬𝑚

"Yes, my lord. Duke Georgina left behind a hundred of her personal guards and then left via the teleportation array.

"Even if she wanted to interfere with the affairs of Rose City, she cannot personally appear.

"Her personal guards have also changed their standard equipment and put on helmets to cover their faces. No one can find any fault with them."

Keli continued, "Rose City's city guards have a total of 200,000 people. They are stationed in the barracks in the south and north of the city. Now, the two barracks are empty. The city guards should have all entered the city.

"The city guards stationed at the City Hall are conservatively estimated to be no less than 50,000 people. The rest of the city guards are searching for your traces throughout the city."

Ning Shi took out a map of Rose City. They were now on Rat Street in the western corner of the city, and the City Hall was in the center of the eastern area.

The straight line distance between the two was about 6000 meters.

With the speed of the Undying Trump Troop fully equipped with armor, it would take them eight to ten minutes to get there.

This was enough time for the city guards to come up with countermeasures.

Since a surprise attack was impossible, they would have to fight head-on.

"Maku Gu, take 2000 men and follow this route. Go around to the back of the City Hall and wait for my news. If you encounter any enemies on the way, just attack them directly. There is no need to waste time.

"Magis, bring 2000 people from…

Fighting in Rose City was all on the streets. If there were too many people, they would not be able to form a formation. Ning Shi divided his troops into four and surrounded the City Hall from four routes.

Watching his subordinates leave, Ning Shi led the 4000-men army and ran to the front of the City Hall with Lena.

Just after passing through a Street, Ning Shi was intercepted by the city guards.

Rose City's city guards had beautiful armor, and all of them were clad in full-body scarlet leather armor.

On the leather armor, the left side was embroidered with a snake pattern, and the right side had a rose pattern.

They were wearing exquisitely designed helmets. At the very top of the helmet, there was a cluster of red gold that looked like flames.

The mount the guard was riding on was a beginner magical beast, Snake-eyed Wind Horse. This magic beast was one of the hybrid magical beasts that Rose City had bred. It was a hybrid of a Green Wind Snake and a Windchaser Horse.

The Snake-eyed Wind Horse specialized in wind magic. It was extremely fast, had a strong vitality, and had good endurance. It was an excellent mount.

In comparison, the Undying Trump Troop's equipment was very crude. Black heavy armor and wolf-tooth clubs, not exquisite and beautiful enough.

The city guard who stopped Ning Shi was a battalion of two thousand people. The commander of the battalion saw that the troops of Duohuang City did not even have mounts, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.

He was actually charging straight at the Undying Trump Troop.

This wave of operation directly made Ning Shi dumbfounded!

Finally, some troops were willing to charge at the Undying Trump Troop, expressing their desire for close combat.

Ning Shi gave the highest respect to the city guard. He used all his strength and slashed at the city guard who was rushing over.

There was no resistance at all.

With a sizzling sound, the commanding officer and the magical beast he was riding on were split into two.

He looked around and saw that the extreme barbarian had smashed two city guards into meat pies with his wolf-tooth club. The remaining flesh hung on the wolf-tooth club, and blood dripped down.

The charge of the city guards was like sheep entering a tiger's mouth.

This was not a battle at all, but a one-sided slaughter.

When the Undying Trump Troop arrived at the City Hall in four groups and launched an attack together, the City Hall was already in a state of chaos.

They didn't encounter any resistance, and the city guards were completely vulnerable.

The city guards with their gorgeous equipment were like beautiful vases that would break with a touch.

Ning Shi and the Undying Trump Troop completely destroyed everything in sight. Only when they encountered a hundred guards left by Duke Georgina did they encounter some slight resistance.

Everything was going smoothly.

From launching the attack to breaking into the City Hall, and killing Marco and Gray, the total time spent was less than 10 minutes.

In Duohuang City, Ning Shi faced the border armies or trump card troops of various countries. It was his first time meeting city guards that looked like this, so he was really not used to it.

Looking at the city guards who knelt on the ground and surrendered, Ning Shi said to Lena, "After you become Duke, the first thing you need to do is reform and train the army.

"Rose City has been peaceful for a long time due to its good geographical location, and it had not experienced war for hundreds of years.

"Although the military weapons are excellent, the troops had not experienced the test of blood and fire.

"Because the city guards were treated very well, the selection of the city guards was not only based on strength, but also on background.

"Many people who had connections and weren't strong enough were stuffed into the city guards.

"With these two factors combined, not only are the city guards' combat power weak, but they also have no combat literacy.

"Facing the Undying Trump Troop that is invincible in close combat, they still charged forward arrogantly.

"Truly, the ignorant are fearless."

It was the first time Lena had been in contact with an army, so she was still a little excited. Hearing Ning Shi's words, she nodded.

"Don't worry, Rose City has a good foundation. As long as we increase the intensity of training and take the initiative to train our troops, our combat power will be able to improve very quickly.

"I've heard from Sir Gu Bin that Rose Hill used to have a standing army of more than a million soldiers, but because there was no war, the army was gradually disbanded, and now there are less than 300,000 soldiers."

...

Lena was right. Not counting the noble territories that the Duke had, just the Rose City territory that was directly under the Duke of Rose had a population of over a hundred million.

The territory had a large population, healthy finances, and sufficient financial resources. If they really wanted to train troops, the results would definitely not be bad.

The leader of the city guards, Marco, was dead, and so was Gray. The situation was now under Ning Shi and Lena's control.

This battle ended very quickly. The number of city guards killed by Ning Shi and the Undying Trump Troop was about 10,000, and the total experience was about 20 million. In total, Ning Shi gained 4.5 million experience points.

Just as Ning Shi was about to check on the upgrade, Lena's teacher, Gu Bin, came in with a package.

The package was dripping with blood. When he opened it, it was the head of Tagore, the leader of the Rose Knights.

Tagore's family was ungrateful and bullied Lena. Ning Shi would definitely not let them go.

It was just that he had to fight in the arena and deal with the city guards, so he couldn't leave.

Ning Shi had entrusted Gu Bin to keep an eye on Tagore's actions in secret.

As the swordsman of the Alice family, Sir Gu Bin had experienced countless battles and storms in his life. He was not a kind person.

Gu Bin, who had long been disgusted with Tagore's family, blocked the 1000-man army on Tagore's escape route and then released the poison cloud skill.

...

Thousands of soldiers were instantly poisoned to death. Only Tagore and a few other experts had high poison resistance attributes and were not poisoned to death, but they were still killed by Gu Bin one by one.

This was the power of a Level 9 bloodline. Killing a small army by himself was as easy as eating and drinking.

"This is Tagore's interspatial ring."

Gu Bin threw the ring to Ning Shi and said, "If you didn't remind me to keep an eye on Tagore, that old fox would have really run away. All of the Tagore family's resources are now yours.

"Tagore is dead, and there were about 500 rose Knights who defected with him. I've killed all of them, and now the Rose Knights are under the control of Deputy Harry."

"Lena," Gu Bin said to Lena, "It's already set in stone that you'll become the new Duke of Rose. My mission has been completed.

"I'll return to the old house of the Alice family and look for the successor of the swordsman in the collateral bloodline of the family. If you encounter any difficulties in the future and need help, you can send someone to the old house to find me.

"I hope that under your leadership, the Alice family will be able to regain the martial virtue and glory of a Duke's family."

After that, Gu Bin left.

After Lena saw her teacher off, she began to gather all the civil and military officials in the city, preparing to gradually take control of the civil and military power of Rose City.

Ning Shi didn't follow. He sent hundreds of extreme barbarians to ensure Lena's safety.

Then, he found a room and checked on his character's level.

[ Bloodline warrior has leveled up to Level 16 (3.71 million/20.48 million). Spiritual Power 1, skill point 1, potential point 1. ]

After he had accumulated 3 potential points, Ning Shi continued to upgrade his bloodline.

[ Consumed 3 potential points, Level 5 Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus bloodline upgraded to level 6 Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus bloodline, Physique 1.

[ The learning (blue) talent has been upgraded to learning (gold). ]

!!

[ Draconic might (blue) talent has been upgraded to draconic might (gold). ]

[ Draconic body (blue) talent has been upgraded to the draconic body (gold). ]

[ New passive talent, Overlord body (blue) obtained. ]

[ Draconic might (gold): Causes a large threat to creatures with lower Spiritual Power than itself, and randomly causes negative states such as weakness, fear, and stiffness. ]

[ Draconic body (gold): Physique increased by 100%. ]

[ Super armor (blue): Passive talent, direct immunity to weak attack damage, negative status resistance increased by 50%. [ Note: damage immune to super physique talent will still be reflected by the blade armor. ]

This time, the bloodline upgrade only gave him one attribute point.

After the system notification, Ning Shi understood why the experience of leveling up was increasing.

Leveling up experience was actually the life potential drawn by the game system.

As Ning Shi's physical attributes increased, the energy required to increase each attribute point would be greater, and the requirement for experience points would also be higher.

It was just that this time it only increased his Physique by one point, which was something Ning Shi did not expect.

Three potential points could increase three attribute points. Previously, when he upgraded his bloodline by one level, it was an increase of four attribute points. This was a good deal.

Now, it only increased his Physique by 1 point. It seemed that the price-performance ratio of upgrading his bloodline was not high.

In the face of Ning Shi's doubts, the system answered.

[ Potential points to upgrade bloodline is the best way to become stronger. The main energy for this bloodline upgrade is used to strengthen and add new talents, so the attribute point will only increase by one point. ]

[ Prompt: A body without talent is just a seemingly powerful empty shell. ]

Ning Shi looked at his new super physique talent and nodded in satisfaction.

He could feel the importance of the super physique talent. This talent seemed to be deliberately created by the game system.

It was used to deal with insect attacks.

The attack power of the swarm was not high. The terrifying thing about the swarm was that they relied on their amazing number to accumulate damage.

If he continued to improve his super physique talent, he would be immune to most of the insects 'attacks.

Wouldn't he be invincible in the face of the insect disaster?

Moreover, he had the talent of draconic might in a wide area. When he released it directly, the insects with low spiritual power would all be under the threat of draconic might.

Since every world had an origin treasure, the insect world would have one.

The game system had given him the talent to fight against the insect world's origin treasure.

From the looks of it, using the potential points to upgrade his bloodline was the best choice.

Moreover, with the golden draconic body, Ning Shi's physique was equivalent to increasing by 2 points, and his attribute points were not bad.

After upgrading his bloodline, Ning Shi added the skill to Cloud Shadow Steps.

[ Cloud Shadow Steps has been upgraded to level 5. Acquired special shadow body. Footwork speed 100%. ]

After upgrading shadow cloud steps and Bajiquan to level 5, Ning Shi planned to save up the skill points to add to his blade technique.

The avatar's data was as follows:

[ Physique: 43 (55) ]

[ Spiritual Power: 27 (45) ]

[ Appearance: 8 (handsome guy) ]

[ Family background: 5 (ordinary) ]

[ Bloodline: Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus bloodline (Level 6/ Potential 10 stars)]

[ Profession: Bloodline warrior Level 16 (3.71 million/20.48 million) ]

[ Skills: Cloud Shadow Steps Level 5, Bajiquan Level 5, basic swordsmanship Level 10 ]

[ Talents: learning (gold), violence (purple), undying (blue), Lightning Field (gold), draconic might (gold), draconic body (gold), Blade Armor (blue), Overlord body (blue). ] 𝐧𝑶𝚟𝑒𝓵𝑈𝑠𝓑.𝔠𝔬𝑚

[ Achievements: City Lord of Duohuang City ]

It was great to have a golden finger. In just two months, he had turned from an ordinary person to an expert who dominated a region.

As this thought flashed through Ning Shi's mind, the game system gave him a new prompt.

[ Please learn the advanced version of the Bloodline Guidance Technique as soon as possible. You can also gain experience points by cultivating them and using them to level up. ]

Ning Shi took out the Bloodline Guidance Technique and started reading it seriously.

After reading for a long time, he remembered all the contents, but he couldn't understand many things.

This advanced Bloodline Guidance Technique's requirement for talent was too high.

"Even with my golden learning talent combined with my 27 Spiritual Power, it's so difficult to learn?"

[ Spiritual Power represents an invisible power that controls the body. It includes the soul, thoughts, wisdom, comprehension, will, and other indicators.

[ For the sake of the host's safety, the host's Spiritual Power is mainly improved in the soul and will. The host's comprehension and wisdom are slightly weaker. Please be aware of your limitations. ]

Ning Shi's mouth twitched, feeling that the game system was mocking his intelligence…

...

[ The host has never learned any Bloodline Guidance Technique before, so it's normal for you to have obstacles on your first try. Even if you give this guidance technique to Gu Bin, he won't be able to get started in a month.

[ The greatest talent of humans is learning. The difference in comprehension and wisdom between people can not be made up for by the enhancement of bloodline alone. ]

Ning Shi felt slightly comforted. He also understood that it was very difficult to speed up this kind of profound cultivation method by only groping and cultivating with the secret manual without guidance.

He put away the technique and decided to find an opportunity to give the advanced Bloodline Guidance Technique to Lena.

As the original creator of the technique, along with her extremely perverted comprehension and learning ability, Lena would be able to master the technique quickly.

When the time came, her explanation would speed up her learning progress.

After the plan was completed, Ning Shi took out Tagore's interspatial ring.

After Tagore's death, the spiritual imprint on the interspatial ring dissipated. Ning Shi condensed his spiritual imprint on the ring and explored it with his mind.

The ring was filled with all kinds of gold coins, jewelry, and magic cores. There were also many books, many of which were isolated secret manuals.

The Tagore family was originally a branch of the royal family. When their ancestors fled to Rose City, they brought precious belongings with them. In addition, after hundreds of years of development and accumulation in the Rose City territory, their wealth had accumulated into a mountain.

These were all cheap for Ning Shi.

...

Ning Shi did a rough count. There were about 20,000 intermediate magic cores and 30,000 beginner magic cores. The value of the gold coins and jewelry was more than 10 million.

The most important thing was that Ning Shi found 6 advanced magic cores in the ring!

These should have been brought out by Tagore's ancestors from the royal family of the Ole Empire.

As a vassal state of the super magical beast, the royal family of the Ole Empire would be rewarded with some magic cores every year.

In terms of the number of advanced magic cores, the Elven Empire had the most in the past, as they were all the legacies of the Age of the Gods. Now, the Ole Empire was gradually surpassing the Elven Empire.

As for the Brad Empire, they insisted on being independent and possessed the least number of advanced magic cores.

Ning Shi took out an advanced magic core and observed it in his hand. This magic core should have been left behind by a fire-type magical beast after its death.

The magic core looked dull on the outside, like a dark red stone, but with a slight touch, one could feel the huge magic power contained inside.

[ Consume one advanced magic core to upgrade the meteoric heavy sword to a bloodline weapon. Do you want to upgrade it? Yes, no.]

Ning Shi remembered that when he had bought the meteoric heavy sword, the system had told him that this sword could be upgraded. However, after that, Ning Shi tried various ways to upgrade it, but he had not been able to find a way.

So he needed an advanced magic core.

Ning Shi clicked Yes and the advanced magic core in his hand disappeared.

The heavy blade in his backpack appeared out of thin air in front of Ning Shi. The blade was red and kept shaking and buzzing.

As the blade trembled, a wave of blade and magic power spread out, and distorted ripples appeared in the air.

After about two minutes, the heavy blade quieted down and turned black again. It looked the same as before, except for a thumb-sized bump on the handle.

[ Meteoric demonic sword, bloodline weapon. After recognizing its master, it can awaken different abilities according to its master's bloodline and grow through killing. ]

Ning Shi held the demonic sword. A sharp thorn suddenly extended out of the bump on the handle and stabbed into Ning Shi's palm.

The demonic sword seemed to be alive. The blade was covered with red veins, and Ning Shi's blood was flowing in the veins.

After a while, the demonic sword finally calmed down.

[ Meteoric demonic sword (Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus bloodline). The demonic sword that has absorbed the Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus bloodline has awakened the following abilities:

[ Thundering sound: Attacks can be accompanied by the sound of thunder, causing interference to the enemy. It will randomly cause stun, intimidation, and other effects. ]

[ Baleful Qi: The more people the demonic sword kills, the stronger the Baleful Qi condensation. The Baleful Qi can greatly increase the demonic sword's damage ability. ]

[ Devouring: Sensing its master's will, the demonic sword wishes to be as heavy as a mountain. The demonic sword can devour metal to increase its weight. Current weight increase limit: 2500 kg. If the demonic sword is damaged, it can also be repaired by devouring. ]

Ning Shi was very satisfied with the power of the meteoric demonic sword. He walked out of the room and planned to find a blacksmith to increase the weight of the demonic sword to its limit.

Golden Lion City, the Myriad Pupil Palace. 𝗇𝒐𝑽𝑬𝗅𝑢𝓈𝕓.𝓬𝐎𝚖

First Prince Chapman's eyes were bloodshot. His expression was extremely haggard as he walked towards the Three-eye Study.

He wanted to report the death of his third brother, Alesia, to his father.

In order to show that he was sad enough although he was secretly happy, he smoked his eyes when he really couldn't cry.

!!

Now, his eyes were red, and he kept blinking. Tears flowed down uncontrollably, and he was full of sorrow.

In order to show the special status of the Crown Prince, His Majesty Joerger granted the right to see Chapman at any time.

On the way, the guards saw Chapman's sorrowful expression. They thought that something big had happened and no one dared to stop him.

Chapman opened the door of the study and cried out in grief and indignation.

"Father! Alesia is dead! He died so miserably! He was killed by Ning Shi, the City Lord of Duohuang City!"

"I want to avenge Alesia, but I'm afraid that it will have a bad influence. Father, what should I do? Please give me some pointers!"

Chapman's heart was broken but the study room was empty. His Majesty Joerger was not here.

His crying stopped abruptly, and he put on an act for the air.

At this moment, His Majesty Joerger was in the deepest part of the Myriad Pupil Palace.

Mountain Cluster Palace.

This was the restricted area of the Brad Empire. Apart from the king, no one else dared to come here.

After Joerger entered the hall, dozens of tall figures were already sitting on both sides of the hall.

Some of these people were experts from the royal family, some were former royal swordsmen, and some were former kings.

When one's bloodline reached Level 9, one's lifespan could reach 300 years.

These people were all top-notch experts with Level 9 bloodlines. They were also the foundation of the royal family's development over hundreds of years.

Facing these seniors and experts, Joerger didn't have the aura of a king. He was like a child, standing respectfully in the middle of the hall.

At the very top was an old man with a head full of silver hair and wrinkled skin.

The old man's eyes were long, narrow, and deep. His nose was curved like an eagle's hook, and his face was shaped like a donkey's. He had a fierce look like an eagle looking at a wolf.

"Joerger," he said coldly. "The origin treasure suddenly went berserk and split into another origin weapon. We didn't catch it, so the origin weapon disappeared.

"Do you know what this means?"

Joerger knew the secret of the origin treasure. In order to preserve his power, he would only split one origin weapon at a time, and the origin weapon would choose the chosen one to complete the mission.

Now that another origin weapon had been formed, it meant that the Lionheart Blade had been destroyed!

Alesia's operation had failed.

As the one who planned the operation, he had to bear the responsibility for its failure!

Instead of defending himself, Joerger knelt on the ground and spoke honestly.

"Please calm down, ancestor. I'm willing to accept the punishment."

The old man sitting at the top was the leader of the Mountain Cluster Palace and Joerger's great-great-grandfather, Joseba Ryan, the 25th king.

Joseba snorted coldly.

"Joerger, you're too cautious and like to use political tactics in everything. You don't know that the truth of the world is still more powerful than whose fist is bigger!

"When you were fighting for the throne, the path I pointed out to you was for you to go to the Elven Empire and exchange for the blessings of the sun and moon god. You'll be able to cleanse your bloodline and strengthen yourself and your subordinates.

"But you got together with Silverdew and used her power to seize the throne.

"According to our original plan, the Lionheart Blade's appearance was to choose you as its host, but you said that your identity was sensitive and that it was not as convenient as Alesia's.

"Now, Alesia lost the Lionheart Blade!

"Without the origin weapon, our plans will have to be changed! If the Lionheart Blade didn't have a requirement on the user's age, I would've f*cking done it myself!"

Joseba was really angry and began to curse.

As the leader of the Mountain Cluster Palace, Joseba had great prestige. When he was angry, everyone kept quiet out of fear.

The hall fell into silence.

After a long time, Joerger said bitterly, "Ancestor, according to the instincts of the origin treasure, the origin weapon must still be in the Brad Empire. I'll order the entire nation to be monitored and find the whereabouts of the new origin weapon as soon as possible.

"Give me three months. If I can't find the origin weapon in three months, I'm willing to give up my throne and wait for the ancestors' judgment in the mountains."

After Joerger finished speaking, the old man sitting at the very bottom was Joerger's biological grandfather and teacher, Casey Ryan.

He opened his mouth to plead.

"Grandfather, there was nothing wrong with Joerger's plan. Alesia's death was just an accident and can't be completely blamed on Joerger.

"The current situation is very tense, so it's not appropriate for us to send out a large number of troops to attack Duohuang. I'll personally go to Duohuang and bring back Ning Shi's head."

Seeing that Joseba still did not speak, Casey, who had not been in the Mountain Cluster Palace for long, braced himself and asked.

"Grandfather, since we can monitor the whereabouts of the origin treasure, why don't we just find a suitable candidate to become the owner of the origin treasure?"

Joseba didn't say anything, but a strong old man sitting on his right side said.

"The origin treasure won't recognize a master.

"A thousand years ago, when the origin treasure first appeared in the world, it was obtained by the Beastman God, Guevsh. He tried to devour the original power of the origin treasure, and the treasure was almost destroyed by him.

"At the critical moment, the origin power backfired on Guevsh, and Guevsh fell.

"The origin treasure was also frightened by this, and it instinctively hid after obtaining freedom.

...

"Even though we know where the origin treasure is hiding, we can only look from afar and not get close.

"As long as you get close, it will disappear."

It was Casey's first time hearing such a secret. He sighed and said, "Guevsh was too hasty. Otherwise, he might have become the Supreme God."

When he heard this, Joseba, who had been silent all this time, finally opened his mouth and said with disdain.

"What god? They're just a group of false gods controlled by their divine titles. Can a creature that can't even control its emotions be called a god?

"True gods are three in one, and they are undying and imperishable."

As if sensing that he had spoken too much, Joseba said, "Let's do as Joerger said. We have to find the origin weapon within three months.

"Compared to the super magical beasts, humans are at an extreme disadvantage. We must use the origin weapon to unify the Moen Continent at the lowest cost. Only then will we be able to counterattack the magical beast continent and achieve the great cause of mankind's independence!

"As for Ning Shi, who killed Alesia, Casey, go and investigate his background. If necessary, you can kill him."

Ning Shi's name seemed to have triggered some memories in Joseba. He thought for a moment and continued.

"If we can't find an origin weapon, we'll have no choice but to work with the gods to fight against the super magical beasts. However, this way, the human faith will be infiltrated by the gods."

...

The strong old man who had just explained the origin treasure said, "Brother, don't we still have your research? When your research is successful, even ordinary people will have extremely high combat abilities.

"At that time, we'll definitely be able to defeat all our enemies who want to enslave mankind!"

Joseba didn't say anything. He seemed a little tired and waved his hand.

Everyone in the hall left.

He walked to a corner, opened a secret passage, and walked in.

At the end of the secret passage was an underground palace that took up a large area.

There were hundreds of rooms in the palace.

A large number of dwarves, gnomes, and human craftsmen were working here.

Some of them were holding a tiny piece of iron and polishing it continuously, while others were waving a heavy hammer and hammering different metals into solid alloys.

There were also people gathered together, holding a blueprint in their hands and arguing.

Joseba walked into a warehouse.

The warehouse was filled with all kinds of industrial parts. There were cannon barrels, wings of planes, and an assembled propeller.

If someone from Saturn walked into this place, they would definitely feel a sense of familiarity. It was the unique aura of the industrial civilization.

82 Joseba

Joseba touched these parts, his heart full of emotion.

He was originally from the Mieln Federation on Saturn. He was a middle school teacher who taught mathematics.

May 9th, 1980. He was in class and felt unwell. He took a leave of absence to go home and rest. He happened to see his wife and her lover having fun.

In his excitement, he waved his fist and started to fight with her lover.

!!

It was a pity that as a teacher, he didn't exercise much and his body was weak. He was no match for his wife's strong lover and was pushed down by him. He hit the corner of the table and died.

When he woke up again, he found that he had transmigrated to become the First Prince of the Brad Empire's royal family, Joseba Ryan, who was only five years old.

In his previous life, because of his weak body, he died at the hands of his lover, which made him have a strong resentment.

He had to become stronger!

He made use of the wisdom of an adult and the resources of the royal family to train hard and reveal his amazing talent.

Advancing to a Level 7 bloodline at the age of 20 made the fight for the throne lose its suspense.

After becoming king, although he had to divert some of his energy to manage the country, he continued to train. Finally, at the age of 40, he broke through the shackles of the Level 8 bloodline and advanced to Level 9.

After another 30 years of cultivation, he cultivated his Level 9 bloodline to perfection at the age of 70.

From then on, he began to research ways to break through to the Supreme Bloodline.

During his research, he discovered the bloodline curse left behind by the Bloodline Guidance Technique. This was a trap left behind by the super magical beasts.

The Bloodline Guidance Technique of the eight great branches was all created and bestowed by super magical beasts.

As long as one used these Bloodline Guidance Techniques to cultivate their bloodline to the highest level, the bloodline curse would be activated, and the essence of their bloodline would be absorbed by the eight super magical beasts.

After discovering this secret, Joseba gave up the throne. He retreated behind the scenes and devoted himself to researching a new Bloodline Guidance Technique.

It was a pity that he was not talented enough. After studying it for more than a hundred years, he had gained nothing.

In the end, he gave up on the Bloodline Guidance Technique and focused on his previous life.

Since it was impossible to defeat a super magical beast in terms of bloodline…

Then, he could make use of industrial civilization and use the magic core as the power to develop magic core cannons and magic core fighter planes.

Using the firepower of industrial civilization to defeat the magical beasts.

He was only a middle school teacher and didn't have much knowledge. After 20 years of research, he invented magic lamps, magic carriages, magic airships, and other magic core power tools.

These products strengthened the national strength of the Brad Empire, making it the richest country on the Moen Continent.

However, it was not enough. His target was the magic core cannons and the magic core fighter planes.

Now that the design was almost complete, he would definitely be able to invent these weapons if he was given some time.

Thinking of this, Joseba began the 1005th assembly of the magic core cannon. Only repeated experiments could determine the final design drawing.

As the peak combat power of mankind and the master of a complete empire, he had come into contact with many secrets over the years.

He knew that the World of Moen would soon be connected to other worlds.

When he heard the news, the first thing he thought of was his previous life. He thought of the Mieln Federation, his wife who he once loved deeply, and her boorish lover.

"Serena and Bieber, just you wait. One day, I will return to the Mieln Federation. If you are still here, I will let you experience the taste of pain.

"If you're no longer here, leave this pain to your descendants!"

Rose City, City Hall.

Lena said to Ning Shi with a slightly tired expression, "All the forces in the city have been united, and the nobles have sworn their allegiance to me. The state of war in the city has been lifted, and we have full control of the city guards and the Rose Knights. The situation is stable."

Ning Shi nodded. "Later, you gather the feudal nobles and civil and military ministers in the City Hall. I have an ability that can guarantee their 100% loyalty."

Lena said to the guard beside her.

"Ruhr, according to Lord Ning Shi's instructions, gather all the feudal nobles and civil and military officials to the City Hall for a meeting."

Ruhr received the order and left.

Ning Shi handed the advanced version of the Bloodline Guidance Technique to Lena.

"Lena, here's a Bloodline Guidance Technique that I obtained by chance. This guidance technique is even better than the snake path guidance technique.

"This cultivation technique is very complicated, and I'm getting dizzy just by looking at it. Your learning talent is better than mine, so you'll definitely be able to learn it faster. You can teach me after you've learned it. "

Hearing Ning Shi's words, Lena's fatigue was swept away.

Ning Shi's performance today was too strong. Not only was his individual ability invincible, but he also killed Alesia. His troops were also extremely strong, crushing the Rose City's city guards.

All of this gave Lena a huge impact. With her proud personality, although she didn't feel inferior because of this, she still felt some pressure.

Hearing Ning Shi's affirmation of her learning talent, Lena was very happy.

She was stunned by Ning Shi's face for a moment, then took the Advanced Bloodline Guidance Technique and read it directly.

The more she looked at the guidance technique, the more excited she became.

It wasn't until the guard, Ruhr, came in to report that everyone was present that Lena raised her head.

"Ning Shi, this guidance technique is too magical! Who created this cultivation technique? I feel that every move and form has hit the bottom of my heart.

"Looking at this cultivation technique, it's as if I've met a confidant, and it's too compatible with me!"

[ The Advanced Bloodline Guidance Technique was given to Lena. Lena is grateful. Character intimacy 2. Current Character intimacy: 99. ]

[ 99 is the highest value of character intimacy. There is no 100 points of intimacy. The last point is always reserved for one's privacy and personal space. ]

Ning Shi's intimacy with Lena had reached its peak. He touched Lena's head lovingly and thought to himself.

"This is a cultivation technique you created yourself, so of course it's compatible with you."

...

Instead, he said with a smile.

"The identity of the creator of this cultivation technique is a secret for now. When the time is right, I will naturally tell you."

Hearing Ning Shi's words, Lena didn't hesitate. She put away the cultivation method and walked to the meeting hall, talking as she walked.

"In order to prevent any accidents, the succession and conferment ceremony of the title of Duke of Rose has been set to be held at 9 a.m. tomorrow. His Majesty Joerger has also agreed to attend the ceremony tomorrow and confer me the title of Duke."

As she said this, the system sent a prompt.

[ Help Lena become the Duke of Rose. Intimacy with Lena's character has reached 99. Main storyline mission 5 has been completed. Experience points 5,000,000. The maximum number of servants has been increased to 15,000. You have been rewarded with a first-generation magic core fighter plane manufacturing blueprint. ]

The limit of servants was increased to 15,000, which solved Ning Shi's urgent need.

He had originally planned to terminate some of his original servant contracts and free up some slots to contract the leaders of the major forces in the Rose City territory.

Now that the number of servants had increased, he could directly form contracts with them.

For the extra 5000 people, Ning Shi did not plan to expand the Undying Trump Troop. 𝓷𝗈𝚟𝓔𝑳𝓊𝗌𝑏.𝑪𝗈𝗆

He planned to find time to travel the Moen Continent and recruit more heroes as his followers. He also wanted to contract the middle and upper-class figures of various countries as his servants.

...

The servant contract was mandatory, and there were only two conditions for a successful contract. The first was that the other party had lost the ability to resist, and the second was a comparison of Spiritual Power.

There was no need to consider the true wishes of the contracted object.

By controlling the key figures, he could control most of the forces without shedding a drop of blood.

This was the correct way to use the servant contract. Ning Shi could think of this thanks to Alesia and Lionheart Blade's actions.

83 Reward

Lena and Ning Shi walked into the main hall.

At this moment, the spacious hall was filled with dozens of people.

There was a feudal noble like Marquis Dupont, a general like Harry who controlled the Rose Knights, and a chief civil official in the City Hall.

Seeing Lena enter, everyone bowed to greet her.

!!

"Everyone should know who this person beside me is. Lord Ning Shi is the City Lord of Duohuang, and also my lover. He wants to have a private chat with everyone.

"Harry, you go to the side hall with Lord Ning Shi first."

Although everyone was confused, no one objected. Harry followed Ning Shi to the side hall.

Taking advantage of the fact that Harry wasn't paying attention, Ning Shi took control of Harry and made him a servant.

Harry was known for his physical strength, and Ning Shi had given him a regenerative talent.

Harry felt his powerful talent and walked back to the main hall with a smile.

Harry came out and called for the Marquis of the Dolphin to enter the side hall.

Seeing how happy Harry was, Marquis Dupont asked him quietly.

"Harry, what did Lord Ning Shi talk to you about? Is it convenient to disclose?"

"Lord Ning Shi is a cultivation genius. You must not resist after you enter. Lord Ning Shi will help us correct our cultivation mistakes.

"After receiving Lord Ning Shi's guidance, I have a feeling of enlightenment. I feel like I'm about to advance to the eighth extreme bloodline!"

As more and more people came out, they all said the same thing. Although everyone still had some doubts, they already believed it in their hearts.

Ning Shi's contract with the servant was getting smoother and smoother.

In about half an hour, he had contracted everyone to be his servants.

Ning Shi said to Lena after giving them the order to fully support her.

"Lena, these people will help you without any reservations. You can trust them completely. I have to return to Duohuang to take care of some matters, so I won't be attending the ceremony tomorrow."

Ning Shi had rushed back to Duohuang because he had read the design drawings of the first-generation magic core fighter planes.

[ First-generation magic core fighter plane manufacturing blueprint: According to the blueprint, first-generation magic core fighter planes can be created. ]

[ First-generation magic core fighter plane, a fighter plane that uses advanced magic cores as its power core. It has an average speed of 500 kilometers per hour and can launch a series of magic bombs at an altitude of 10 kilometers. ]

As a native of Saturn, Ning Shi naturally knew the power of the fighter plane.

If he could control the air force, he would have the advantage of three-dimensional combat.

He wanted to return to Duohuang to hand over the blueprint to the magic core workshop so that they could quickly research and build the fighter plane.

Ning Shi thought of two questions.

"Since there are first-generation magic core fighter planes, will there be second-generation ones?"

[ The second-generation magic core fighter plane is an improved version of the first-generation magic core fighter plane. The second-generation magic core fighter plane is considered a bloodline weapon and can only be used after it has recognized its master. It will derive different abilities based on the host's bloodline. ]

With the system's notification, Ning Shi could get the magic core smiths of Duohuang to research in this direction. Perhaps they could gradually explore the manufacturing method of the second-generation magic core fighter plane.

"Who was the one who invented the first-generation magic core fighter plane?"

[ The 25th king of the Brad Empire, Joseba Ryan. He invented the magic core cannons one year later and the magic core fighter planes two years later. ]

"Joseba Ryan, another powerful figure," Ning Shi exclaimed. "Even the magic core cannon was invented by him."

Ning Shi gradually understood the ability of the game system. The rewards given by the game were all real things and not something made out of nothing.

It was just that the game used the evolution ability of the origin treasure to materialize some knowledge of the future into the present in advance.

The current king of the Brad Empire, Joerger, was the 31st Ryan and Joseba was the 25th king. He was still alive and was at least 200 years old.

It seemed that Lionheart Blade's memory was right. When a bloodline advanced from Level 8 to Level 9, it was a sublimation and a qualitative change of the bloodline. The limit of one's lifespan would be increased to 300 years.

Ning Shi also understood why the Brad Empire, without the support of any power, could ultimately become the place of human rise according to the trajectory of fate.

Without Ning Shi's interference, the Brad Empire would have both the origin weapon and the magic core weapon. Together with Lena, who had broken through to the Supreme Bloodline, they would be able to develop for a period of time. Perhaps they would really be able to fight against the super magical beasts.

After bidding farewell to Lena, Ning Shi let the Undying Trump Troop hurry back, while he took the teleportation array back to Duohuang City.

After giving the blueprint of the magic core fighter plane to Elon, Ning Shi exited from the first-person perspective and let the system go offline.

After playing the game for two days, he was mentally exhausted and physically hungry.

Ning Shi randomly found something to eat. After filling his stomach, he fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Ning Shi appeared on the field of the new garden.

The three days of rest had passed. Today, his three disciples would begin a new round of extreme body forging.

This round of training lasted for five days.

After several consecutive nights of imparting skills in their dreams, the three disciples looked at Ning Shi with even weirder eyes.

Luo Yao's eyes were filled with shyness, Jiang Bichao's eyes were filled with respect, and Zong Shangren's eyes were filled with extreme reverence for Ning Shi.

In order to better understand his disciples' thoughts and training progress, Ning Shi activated the function of listening to their inner voices.

[ Luo Yao: Compared to the coldness of my master in my dream, my master, in reality, is much gentler, but also much more distant… ]

[ Jiang Bichao: Master's teaching reminded me of my late mother. He is as concerned and strict as she was before. ]

[ Zong Shangren: The master in my dream hurts so much when he hits people. I hope he won't get hit in reality, it's too painful. ]

Ning Shi had his three disciples demonstrate the progress of Bajiquan.

The moves of the three of them were smooth and sharp, their punches were swift and fierce, their footwork was steady, and from time to time, they could even make the sound of air exploding.

...

The ability to impart skills in dreams was still very powerful.

In just three days, his three disciples' Bajiquan skills were already close to Level 3. 𝑵𝗈𝒱𝗲𝐥𝐮𝑠𝗯.𝕔𝒪𝗆

"I'll emphasize it again. You must take the initiative to understand the true meaning of the extreme body forging method and gradually understand your own limits. In the second round of training, I will only look after you at the key points and will not keep an eye on you."

Although he said this, Ning Shi was worried in his heart. He was afraid that there would be problems, so he accompanied his three disciples to practice on the field for a day.

When he returned to the principal's residence at night, Yun Moxiang was standing outside the courtyard.

She had listened to Ning Shi's advice last time and was dressed very simply this time.

A simple round-neck t-shirt with a pair of jeans gave her the beauty of a school belle.

Ning Shi took out the key and opened the courtyard door. The two walked into the living room and sat down.

"Miss Yun, I've already given you the simplified version of the extreme body forging method. Is there anything else that I can help you with today?"

Ning Shi's words were just short of saying "Don't bother me if there's nothing."

Yun Moxiang rolled her eyes and took out a bottle of Sprite from the refrigerator, opened it, and took a sip.

...

She had wanted to talk about serious matters, but she was provoked by Ning Shi's words and began to beat around the bush.

"Where's your old classmate, teacher Hao Meng? Didn't he teach his disciples with you?"

Ning Shi frowned and said, "Hao Meng went to the Bei Shi Nation on an official plane. You should know that.

"As far as I know, you've been promoted, so you should be very busy now.

"You must have something important to tell me, so let's get straight to the point."

Because of Ning Shi's submission of the simplified version of the extreme body forging method, Yun Moxiang, as his liaison, had also done a great deed and was promoted.

She was promoted from the captain of the Exchange Bureau to the Section Chief of the first Foreign Affairs section of the Exchange Bureau.

Hearing Ning Shi's words, Yun Moxiang was taken aback. The officials hadn't sent any planes to the Bei Shi Nation recently. Hao Meng had lied.

Her heart skipped a beat, but she didn't expose Hao Meng's lie. Instead, she decided to go back and investigate Hao Meng's background.

After being in contact with Ning Shi for a long time, Yun Moxiang was also familiar with Ning Shi's temper, so she said directly.

"Although I've been promoted, I'm still Consultant Ning's liaison officer. Consultant Ning can still find me if you need anything.

"You have contributed the cultivation technique to the country this time, and the government has placed great importance on it. They are extremely appreciative of your actions and have given you rich rewards.

"Your awakener's forum account has an additional 1000 merit points.

"Merit points could be used to exchange for various resources on the forum. They were extremely valuable, and 200 merit points could be exchanged for one A-level spirit spiritual crystal.

"In addition to the merit points, the officials will also reward you with 3 A-level spiritual crystals, 5 bottles of perfect awakening potions, and a war insect armor."

Report chapter Comments

"Perfect awakening potion? War insect armor? What are these two things?"

In the face of Ning Shi's questions, Yun Moxiang didn't keep him in suspense. She flicked her hair and explained, "The perfect awakening potion is an upgraded version of the awakening potion. The reaction of the Luo substance inside is ten times that of the ordinary awakening potion, but the side effects of taking it are lower than that of the ordinary potion."

"This potion is very rare because its production method was not controlled by the country and it was completely accidental."

"For every 1-2 million bottles of ordinary awakening potion produced, one bottle of perfect awakening potion will be produced by accident."

This is probably similar to the probability of superior, good, and inferior products in the production process, but the ratio is really too low. Ning Shi continued to ask, "Since the recipe of the normal potion and the perfect potion are the same, it should be a slight difference in the production process. Can't the officials figure out what the difference is?"

Yun Moxiang shook her head. "The production process of the medicine is quite complicated, and there are too many subtle differences. There is no progress in the research at the moment."

"Then what's the effect of the perfect awakening potion? Increase the probability of awakening?"

Facing Ning Shi's question, Yun Moxiang smiled.

"Since it is deemed 'perfect', you should be able to guess its effect. The perfect awakening potion grants its user a guaranteed chance of awakening!"

Ning Shi instantly understood the value of the perfect awakening potion. It was a potion that promises a 100% probability of awakening.

After taking it, an ordinary person would have a lifespan of 100 years and would be far away from the torture of diseases.

To a certain extent, the perfect awakening potion was like a different type of longevity medicine. It also had the ability to strengthen one's physique and grants special abilities.

Yun Moxiang glanced at Ning Shi and continued, "As for the perfect awakening potion, the government currently has less than 1000 of them in stock. They are not for sale, and all of them are used to reward people who have made contributions to the country."

"Your parents haven't awakened yet, right? After using the potion, they can become awakeners too."

Ning Shi did have this idea in mind.

His father, Ning Tao, was the vice president of a branch of a bank. In reality, he was just a major manager. He had to drink and attend social gatherings all day long, and his body had long been suffering from various problems. Not only did he have severe fatty liver, but his back often hurt. 𝓷𝗈𝚟𝓔𝑳𝓊𝗌𝑏.𝑪𝗈𝗆

His mother, Wang Yan, owned a small trading company that couldn't make much money at all. She was busy every day and never had her meals on time. Her stomach always felt uncomfortable, and she took a lot of medicine.

If his parents became awakeners, all of these problems would be solved.

It was Ning Shi's greatest wish for his parents to be healthy and live a long life.

Furthermore, he had not even succeeded in his awakening. With the perfect awakening potion, he could become an awakener as well.

I wonder what kind of special ability I'll receive?

As Ning Shi was lost in his thoughts, Yun Moxiang's voice continued, "As for the war insect armor, it comes from a special bug in the insect world. This insect only appears alone and would attack all the creatures around it, including other insect groups.

"Due to their aggressiveness, the officials named them war insect."

"The insect has incredibly strong physical defense. It is not afraid of knives, cannons, fire, or electricity. It is literally invulnerable. When it first appeared, it caused a lot of casualties to the soldiers."

"Fortunately, compared to their invincible body, spiritual power is their weakness, and spiritual awakeners of Tier 7 and above can cause them harm."

Ning Shi could imagine the power of the war insects from her description. Even if they were vulnerable to spiritual power damage, it could only be caused by awakeners of Tier 7 and above.

Without a powerful spiritual-type awakener, the war insects were almost invincible.

This should be the trump card of the insect swarm.

Ning Shi immediately understood. "The war insect armor is made from the corpses of these war insects?"

Yun Moxiang took another sip of Sprite and nodded, "Yes, war insects are very dangerous and relatively rare. As such, the war insect armor is also extremely rare, and there are only three in the country at present. Out of all of the rewards from the country, this armor is the most valuable."

"Not only could the war insect armor resist all kinds of physical attacks, but it was also very ductile. It would not be torn even if it was pulled and extended by dozens of times. Even if the armor was damaged, it had the ability to repair itself."

"Wearing this armor is almost equivalent to having an extra life."

This was the advantage of having the country's support. There was a strong team to produce equipment for you, and there was logistics to provide you with potions.

If he put on the war insect armor and combined it with his super physique talent, wouldn't he be able to move unhindered in the insect swarm?

"When will you give me the potions and armor?" Ning Shi could not help but ask.

"Originally, it was going to be delivered to you in the next two days.

"There's an emergency today, and you need to make a trip to Central City. Minister Hu Changjun told me to let you go directly to Central City's secret warehouse to collect it."

"I have to train my apprentice these two days," Ning Shi replied immediately. "I don't have time to go to Central City. What's the matter? Is it very important?"

Yun Moxiang took out her phone, pulled up a video, and handed it to Ning Shi.

Ning Shi took it and clicked play.

The video was of an overwhelming swarm of metal devouring insects.

Tall houses made of wood and bamboo were submerged by the insects. This was an island.

After devouring all the matter on the island, the swarm crossed the ocean and headed straight for the big city.

Seeing the fleeing crowd in the city, the colorful jeepneys, and the unique fusional cathedrals… Ning Shi instantly understood where the bugs were attacking.

"This is the Fei Li Island?" he asked in shock.

Yun Moxiang nodded with a serious expression.

Ning Shi instantly had a feeling that a great battle was approaching.

Fei Li Island was a small country in the sea south of the Yunmeng Kingdom, and by attacking the Fei Li island country, it meant that the insect swarm was approaching the Yunmeng Kingdom's defense line!

"When did this happen? How's the situation in the Fei Li island country?"

Yun Moxiang cleared her throat and answered.

"This happened an hour ago, and the news is about to be out. The situation in the Fei Li Island is not looking good, and they are currently unable to organize any effective defense."

"A long time ago, Yunmeng Kingdom had already prepared for emergencies and set up a defense line at the nation's border."

"However, our national borders and coastlines are too long. It will take too much energy to build a complete defense, and there isn't enough time either. The borders are just simple early warning and defense measures."

"After the insect disaster in the Fei Li country, the southern military region had been strengthening the southern coastline defense while expanding the scale of the underground buildings."

...

"The government is also considering moving the residents of Haiya Island inland."

Yun Moxiang handed Ning Shi a set of information and said, "Consultant Ning, the Investigation Department will be under a lot of pressure in the near future. We might need your help as much as possible. This information was about the crime rates of various countries in the world after the Bei Shi Nation's insect disaster."

"In just a few days, the crime rate in MieIn Federation had increased by 150%. There were even many vicious crowd incidents of arson, murder, and plundering. As the world's most powerful country, even the MieIn Federation found themselves in such a state. The situation in other parts of the world was even worse."

"The governments of many small countries had already lost the ability to control their local areas."

"Along with the insect disaster, various religious organisations ran rampant, most of which were evil cults."

"The Pantheon of Gods that you've dealt with before now has tens of millions of followers."

"In the past few days, a few other cults that we need to pay attention to have also emerged, such as the Glorious Doomsday, the Evil Spirit, and so on."

"With Fei Li Island being attacked, after the news spread, the atmosphere of panic will likely spread again, and the crime rate and the problem of cults will definitely be more serious."

Ning Shi nodded. Yunmeng Kingdom's internal security was relatively better, but when the nest was overturned, no eggs would remain intact. Affected by the world's turmoil, the number of criminal cases in the country would definitely increase as well.

"If the Investigation Department needs, I can help. I also wish to live in a stable environment. You want me to go to Central City because of a crime?"

The Central City should be the place with the most experts from the Investigation Department, so they shouldn't require Ning Shi's help.

...

As expected, Yun Moxiang denied Ning Shi's guess.

"No, the Fei Li Island was attacked by a swarm of insects, and the authorities have brought forward many of their plans."

"I'm inviting you to the Central City to participate in the principal's meeting of the awakeners and discuss the details of the first Awakeners' Campus Competition."

Report chapter Comments

"Originally, according to the official arrangements, this competition was to be held after the first semester. However, after the incident in the Fei Li Island, we feel that it is necessary to promote the martial arts in our country."

Yun Moxiang took back the information Ning Shi had read and stood up.

"In order to stimulate the general atmosphere of martial arts and enhance the fighting ability of the people, the officials have arranged two competitions and two rankings this time."

"The first competition is the Awakeners' Campus Competition. The participants had to be students from the major awakener schools."

"The second is the National Awakeners' competition. There were no age restrictions or strength restrictions on the participants. As long as they were awakeners, they could sign up."

"For these two competitions, the officials would not only invest a large amount of material resources and give the well-performing contestants extremely high bonuses and rewards, but they would also mobilize a large number of news media to promote the contestants, packaging them as big idols that everyone will know and pursue."

"The leaderboard is also a way for the government to stimulate competitiveness among the people. It will be divided into two boards, the Hidden Dragon Board for those under 20 years old, and the Outstanding Board for all ages.

"Only the top 100 will be selected for both lists, and the lists are updated once every quarter. Those who make it to the list will receive corresponding material rewards."

"The rules of the National Awakeners' Competition have been decided by the officials. Injuries are allowed in the competition. As for the rules and standards of the campus competition, the participation and suggestions of the principals are required."

Ning Shi knew that the officials were anxious.

In the past, the countries that played games with green blood were now allowing injuries in competitions. The bloody and brutal fighting scenes would even be broadcasted live to the whole nation.

This was a change that had to be made in the context of the insect plague.

In times of peace, the country needed its people to maintain order and civilization, and to do a good job in production and service. However, in times of turmoil, the country had to appropriately stimulate the people's courage.

They needed the people to gradually get used to fighting and killing so that they would have a certain level of combat ability.

Promoting martial arts might further increase the crime rate in the short term, but in the long run, it would enhance the overall strength of the country.

The public's negative emotions would also have an outlet because of the competition, which was more beneficial than harmful for public security.

It just so happened that Yunmeng Kingdom had the awakening potion, which could bring in resources from all over the world. The country had to think of ways to use these resources to enhance the strength of its people.

Organizing a competition was also a way to distribute resources reasonably.

According to Yun Moxiang, the officials had originally planned to hold the competition after the number of awakeners was large enough. However, since there was an insect disaster in one of the neighboring countries, the officials had no choice but to bring the plan forward.

Ning Shi had no doubt that the competition and ranking would cause a sensation.

After all, in one's life, one couldn't escape the words 'fame' and 'wealth'.

Winning the competition and being ranked on the official leaderboards would be the lifelong dream and pursuit of many people.

Ning Shi digested the news Yun Moxiang brought and asked, "When is the principal's meeting?"

"Time is very tight. The conference starts at 1 p.m. tomorrow. I've already booked the ticket for you tomorrow morning."

"I'll fly to Central City with you."

Ning Shi nodded. Since it involved the school, it would be better for him to go.

He would be able to receive the country's reward faster, and he could also exchange teaching experience with the other headmasters. This operation was imperative.

After giving her instructions, Yun Moxiang saw that it was getting late and prepared to leave.

Before she left, she asked again, "Consultant Ning, the country will announce the rules of the National Competition in two days' time, as well as the Outstanding Board's list."

"With your strength and status, the officials can arrange for you to enter the list."

"Do you want to enter the rankings?"

Ning Shi quickly waved his hand. "No need. Please don't put me on the list."

He didn't want to be in the limelight yet. First, he didn't want to be too high-profile. Second, he didn't want to be a celebrity and be surrounded by people."

Yun Moxiang made an OK gesture.

"No problem. We won't put you on the list for the time being because you're not very famous now.'

"If you have a world-shaking battle record in the future, we'll have to include you in the list for the sake of its credibility."

"I won't. Don't worry, I like to keep a low profile."

Hearing Ning Shi's answer, Yun Moxiang smiled meaningfully and left.

Realizing that he would be leaving tomorrow, Ning Shi quickly called Li Daxiang and Duan Qixun and asked them to come to his place.

After these few days of getting along, Ning Shi was clear about the character and ability of the two masters.

His Bajiquan and basic swordsmanship had been selflessly taught by the two masters. Ning Shi had long wanted to teach them the original version of the extreme body forging method, but out of caution, he had observed them for a few more days.

This time, he had to go to a meeting, but he couldn't ignore his three disciples. He could teach the original version of the cultivation technique to the two masters and let them help keep an eye on his three disciples' cultivation.

When they received Ning Shi's call so late at night, Li Daxiang and Duan Qixun both thought it was an emergency and rushed over.

Ning Shi didn't waste any words and directly explained the reason. He then handed the original extreme body forging method to Li Daxiang and Duan Qixun.

After the two masters calmed down, Ning Shi said.

"Do familiarize yourselves with the contents of the cultivation technique as soon as possible. Later on, you can go to the field and cultivate. I have time tonight, so I would like to discuss any issues regarding the cultivation technique with you."

In front of martial arts masters, Ning Shi wouldn't act arrogantly. He wouldn't directly say that he would teach them, but would rather politely refer to it as a 'discussion'.

The truth was indeed as Ning Shi had thought.

The two masters had been practicing martial arts for decades, and their control over their bodies had reached an abnormal level.

This fine control came from decades of hard work. It was like water dripping through a stone, not something Ning Shi could obtain by adding points.

In less than two hours of practice, the two masters had completely mastered the essence of the extreme body forging method. They could even skip the physical limit and pain limit stage of the extreme body forging method and enter the limit simulation stage.

This was what it meant to be well-prepared.

The two masters, Li Daxiang and Duan Qixun, had accumulated dozens of years' worth of skill, but they did not have a suitable technique.

Now that they had this extreme body forging technique, their strength would improve by leaps and bounds in a short time.

...

From them, Ning Shi also noticed his own shortcomings.

He was too dependent on leveling up and adding points. He still needed to polish his skills.

For example, the damage and power of the level five basic swordsmanship used by Duan Qixun was definitely much stronger than Ning Shi's.

Feeling the increase in strength, Li Daxiang and Duan Qixun looked at each other, and Li Daxiang spoke, "Principal Ning, we'll always remember your kindness in passing on your cultivation technique to us. Don't worry, we definitely won't pass on the extreme body forging technique to anyone else without your permission." 𝑛𝑜𝐯𝐄𝐥𝗎𝑠𝑩.𝗰𝓞𝓂

If it was before, Ning Shi would be worried that the extreme body forging technique would be stolen by foreign countries.

After knowing that the Fei Li Island was attacked by the insect plague, Ning Shi had learned to look at the bigger picture.

It would be fine even if the extreme body forging technique was learned by foreigners. Everyone was equal in the face of the insect plague.

The competition between humans was an internal struggle, but the conflict between insects and humans was a struggle for survival.

He had obtained the original treasure of Saturn, so he should occasionally think from the perspective of the entire Saturn.

Of course, if there were benefits, he would consider his own country first.

Ning Shi cupped his fists to the two masters and said, "Teacher Li, Teacher Duan, I'll hand over the original version of the extreme body forging technique to the country when I arrive at the Central City."

...

"You can impart the cultivation technique to teachers you can trust and students with better aptitudes."

"It's just that the original version still has a certain degree of danger, so you must be careful during the teaching process."

Duan Qixun looked at Ning Shi with admiration.

"Principal Ning's magnanimity, old Duan, I'm convinced! In the future, as long as Principal Ning gives the order, I'll do whatever you want me to do!"

Li Daxiang was much calmer. Although he was also impressed by Ning Shi, he did not show much.

"Principal Ning, don't worry and go to the meeting. I don't have any classes this morning, so I'll take care of your three disciples. Old Duan doesn't have any classes in the afternoon, so he'll come and take my place."

After getting Li Daxiang's promise, Ning Shi returned to his residence without worry.

Looking at the time, it was already past three in the morning. Ning Shi took a short nap on his bed.

At 5:30 in the morning, Yun Moxiang drove to the entrance to pick up Ning Shi to go to the airport together.

Ning Shi first picked up his phone and looked at the game. Nothing out of the ordinary had happened while the avatar was in the system hack mode. 𝒩𝑜𝗏𝚎𝓵𝔲𝗌𝒃.𝒸𝒐𝗆

After that, he got into Yun Moxiang's Audi car.

Yun Moxiang was dressed in the Exchange Bureau's uniform for the formal event today.

The blue shirt made her look more handsome than usual.

Ning Shi sat in the passenger seat, fastened his seat belt, and commented casually, "You look better in this uniform."

Yun Moxiang looked at Ning Shi with a strange look and asked hesitantly, "So you prefer uniforms to black lace?"

Ning Shi was speechless.

"Sit tight, I'm going to accelerate!"

After receiving Ning Shi's praise, Yun Moxiang's mood soared, and the car sped up.

Although the High-tech Development Zone was relatively remote, the airport was also remote. The distance between the two was relatively close. It took them half an hour to arrive at the airport.

Ning Shi didn't have many things, so he only carried a backpack. Yun Moxiang had a residence in Central City, so she didn't bring much luggage either.

After the car was parked, the two of them walked into the airport lobby.

"I've booked you a first class seat according to the treatment of a consultant of the headquarters," Yun Moxiang said. "I'm a public servant, so I can only sit in economy class."

Upon hearing this, Ning Shi heaved a sigh of relief. He felt that Yun Moxiang was a little choppy and didn't really want to sit with her on the plane.

The economy class seats were especially narrow, and it was awkward to sit together.

Ning Shi followed the instructions and went through the VIP passage directly, but he found Yun Moxiang following him and also going through the VIP passage.

"Do you have a VIP card from a bank or an airline?"

Yun Moxiang smiled smugly and waved her plane ticket in front of Ning Shi's eyes.

"I paid for an upgrade to first class from my own pocket. I'm sitting next to you."

Although working in the Exchange Bureau didn't have high requirements for combat strength, Yun Moxiang was able to reach a high position at such a young age. Her family's conditions and her own strength were definitely not bad.

With a fragrant beauty sitting beside him, he would not be at a disadvantage anyway.

As Ning Shi thought about it, his movements were not slow and he quickly completed the security check procedures.

After a night, the news of the insect plague in Fei Li Island had spread all over the internet.

Even in the VIP lounge, one could hear the passengers next to them talking about the insect plague.

"Honey, do you think the insect plague will affect our country? I saw the video. It's so scary. I don't want to be bitten to death by insects!"

"Don't worry, baby, the country has issued an announcement overnight. The country is safe for the time being. It's a pity that we didn't awaken after drinking the potion last time. Otherwise, we'd have more power to protect ourselves now."

"Honey, you won't abandon me after you awaken, right?"

"That's impossible! Baby, my love for you…"

The following words gave Ning Shi goosebumps all over his body. He could only blame his five senses for being too strong, so he could hear many voices clearly.

"Chief Wong, I've contacted the military industry. We'll try to get a batch of the most advanced alloy materials when we go there this time."

"You've worked hard, old Li. Ever since the insect disaster in Bei Shi Nation, I've shifted the company's development direction to cold weapons manufacturing. This time, the insect plague has appeared in Fei Li Island. It's like the heavens are helping me!"

"The cold weapons market would definitely expand."

"With the materials we've gotten this time, we're going to develop a batch of excellent weapons and take the lead in seizing the market. We're going to establish our company's brand image as a high-end cold weapon manufacturer."

The keen sense, slyness, and cold-blooded nature of a merchant was fully displayed at this moment.

Ning Shi asked Yun Moxiang in a low voice, "Has the government relaxed the control of cold weapons?"

Yun Moxiang took a sip of coffee and said slowly, "Yes, the current policy is to control hot weapons and relax the control of cold weapons."

"If a child got hold of a hot weapon, it would cause great damage if used incorrectly. Cold weapons are relatively better."

"Not only did the officials relax the control of cold weapons, but they also posted manuals and videos on the official forums, encouraging everyone to be familiar with using cold weapons in combat."

"As a result, civilians will be equipped with cold weapons while the military will be equipped with both hot and cold weapons.

"Not only that, but the government will also carry out longer military training programs in schools, enterprises, and social groups to let the public familiarize themselves with the use of some firearms."

After finishing her coffee, Yun Moxiang glanced at Chief Wong and continued, "The country's productivity is mainly concentrated in high-end manufacturing. The cold weapons market will face a huge increase in demand in the near future. The government intends to guide private enterprises into this market to stimulate the production vitality."

"In this case, the merchants who invest in advance can indeed make a fortune."

Ning Shi nodded, agreeing with Yun Moxiang's words. When he woke up this morning, his WeChat groups and moments were very lively.

The last time the Bei Shi Nation had an insect plague, because it was far away, everyone had treated it lightly. However, this time, the insect plague was so close, so the group messages and moments were all posted in a panic.

This was also the reason why the officials had issued an announcement overnight to calm the public down.

In their panic, many people wanted to buy some weapons for self-defense. This was still considered normal thinking. Some irrational people had already started to stock up on food.

In Ning Shi's circle of friends, some elders had already shared pictures of their family. They had bought a lot of bread, biscuits, instant noodles, and water.

Yun Moxiang looked around, and her eyes narrowed. She opened her mouth and said, "Next, the officials will release a series of popular science tutorials to explain the characteristics and knowledge of the insects in the insect world to the public."

"A lot of fear comes from the unknown. As long as everyone knows the characteristics of the insects and gets used to their existence, the panic will be reduced."

Yun Moxiang's lips kept opening and closing, but her voice did not come out of her mouth. Instead, it was directly transmitted to Ning Shi's ears.

This scene was very strange. Her mouth was moving, but no sound came out.

Yet, the other person could hear her directly.

It was as if the sound had crossed a section of air, directly reaching Ning Shi's ears.

Seeing Ning Shi's surprised expression, Yun Moxiang was slightly proud.

...

"My ability is to control sound waves. What I'm saying now is confidential, so it's directly transmitted to your ears, similar to the secret sound transmission in martial arts novels."

This was the first time Ning Shi found out that Yun Moxiang's special ability was sound waves, which was also a very powerful ability.

Yun Moxiang continued, "What the masses are most afraid of right now is the metal devouring insects' ability to consume everything."

"However, this bug has a remarkable characteristic, and that was that it would not devour materials from the ground and underground."

"In order to prevent extreme disasters from happening, the country had been constantly building underground structures."

"Just like the Peach Blossom district that I mentioned to you before, each of them is equipped with a building that is 10 floors underground, as well as sufficient food and energy reserves."

"It's to ensure that after an incident, the population of the community can still survive underground for at least five years."

Ning Shi didn't have the ability to use secret sound transmission, so he could only ask in an extremely low voice, "Under such circumstances, if the official announcement of the metal devouring insects' characteristics were made, wouldn't the underground buildings be sold for sky-high prices? Wouldn't this also encourage the masses to stock up on food?"

"Have the officials made the necessary preparations?"

Yun Moxiang continued to transmit her voice, "If we want to defeat the insects, we have to spread the knowledge of the insects to the people."

"The greatest advantage of mankind is wisdom. We know how to use tools and attack our enemy's weaknesses. Without mobilizing the wisdom of the masses, the probability of us defeating the insect plague will be reduced a lot."

...

As for the underground construction, after the official announcement of the insects' characteristics, the underground city plan will begin."

Yun Moxiang looked at the time on her watch. There was still 10 minutes before boarding, so she continued, "Underground buildings can't be built randomly, or it's easy to cause the ground to collapse. After the official announcement, they will introduce underground building regulations and prohibit private underground buildings."

"Geological experts would find suitable locations to build underground cities according to the population of each core city. We expect to build 11 buildings as the first batch of underground cities. The residential slots would be centralized. The details of the distribution had not been confirmed yet. The only thing confirmed was that the families of martyrs and meritorious contributors would be given priority."

"The master plan is to build 118 underground cities in five years. We will decide whether to build more according to the situation."

Ning Shi frowned. The plan showed that the officials were well-prepared in considering a way out for the country and people.

"How much resources will be consumed to build so many underground cities? Will it delay the defense against the insects and the national policy of encouraging citizens to grow stronger?"

Yun Moxiang shook her head.

"That won't happen. Our country's current infrastructure production capacity is already excessive. If government builds more cities, it will instead promote economic development. Moreover, we can obtain a large amount of wealth by selling the awakening potion, which is enough to support the construction of the underground city."

Ning Shi thought of more things. The country had built an underground city not only to defend against the insect plague, but also for the upcoming beast disaster and spiritual disaster.

A single insect disaster was already so terrifying that it had destroyed two countries in a row.

The officials had to take into account the more powerful beast and spiritual disasters that would come later.

After thinking about it, Ning Shi didn't worry anymore. The officials stood at a high position and planned the overall situation, so they would definitely think more comprehensively than himself.

"Passengers heading to Central City, please take note. You are on flight CA7788. The check-in procedures are now starting. Please proceed to the check-in counter, thank you!"

With the airport announcement, Ning Shi no longer spoke and began boarding.

87 Hu Changjun

Sitting in the spacious seat of the first-class cabin, Ning Shi closed his eyes and began to rest.

After eating an unpalatable in-flight meal in the middle, Ning Shi slept for a while.

After three hours of flight, the plane landed at Longxing Airport in Central City.

The Exchange Bureau was very thoughtful, and they sent a car to pick them up.

Ning Shi sat in the back, and Yun Moxiang sat in the front passenger seat and asked, "Consultant Ning, should we go to the hotel first or go directly to the secret warehouse to get your reward?"

"Let's pick up my reward first."

Ning Shi wanted to drink the perfect awakening potion as soon as possible. He was looking forward to his new ability.

Hearing Ning Shi's answer, Yun Moxiang made a call.

"Minister Hu, Ning Shi will go to the secret warehouse to receive the reward first, are you free now?"

"Okay, yes, it's about an hour's drive. Okay, see you later."

Ning Shi could hear Yun Moxiang's voice on the phone clearly. After she hung up, Ning Shi asked, "Hu Changjun wants to meet me at the secret warehouse?"

Yun Moxiang put her phone back into her bag and nodded.

"That's right. He told me yesterday to call him after confirming your schedule. If you had decided to go to the hotel first, Minister Hu would have met you there too."

With such a high ranking leader, Ning Shi should be the one taking the initiative to pay a visit to Hu Changjun at the Special Affairs Department.

But now, because of Ning Shi's decision, he had taken the initiative to change the meeting place.

Furthermore, he was personally rushing over.

Even though it was likely that he had deliberately done this to show his regard, Ning Shi was still very touched.

Yun Moxiang hesitated for a moment, but still slowly said, "There are some things that I shouldn't say, but since we are cordial and I was promoted indirectly because of you, I still want to remind you."

"The minister is a practical and direct person. When you meet later, you can ask any questions or requests directly. Don't beat around the bush. He doesn't like it."

"Speaking of which, his temper is very similar to yours. You two should have many common topics."

If two people with a straightforward temper got along well, they would be close friends. If they didn't get along well, it was easy to cause disputes as well.

That was why Yun Moxiang had warned him.

Since she had already talked about her superior, Yun Moxiang no longer had any scruples and spoke frankly, "The old minister was one of the most legendary figures in Yunmeng Kingdom during the era of awakening. He was also one of the earliest awakeners in our country and was a pioneer in maintaining the stability of the country in that dark era."

"We're all doing this for the sake of our country's growth and peace. I know you don't like things related to politics, and Minister Hu had also considered this, so he's meeting you in private in the hope that the both of you can become good friends."

Ning Shi touched his chin and said, "Am I a thorn? I'm clearly a submissive citizen."

After Ning Shi had become stronger, he had the tendency to react strongly to things he didn't like. The incident where he lost his temper because of the admission quota had left a deep impression on Yun Moxiang.

Actually, Ning Shi had heard about Hu Changjun's past from Hao Meng.

Hu Changjun was born a farmer. Because he admired the founding leader of Yunmeng Kingdom and wanted to serve the country, he joined the army at the age of 18.

After joining the army, he had to retire after two years because he wasn't outstanding in any way. However, he didn't want to leave the army, so he took the initiative to apply to be a cook.

Surprisingly, Hu Changjun was talented in cooking. In addition to his down-to-earth and hardworking style, he was praised many times after becoming a cook and was successfully promoted to a sergeant.

From then on, he stayed in the army.

It was not until 1998 that the 38-year-old Hu Changjun became an awakener. At that time, the country knew nothing about awakeners, and there were many transcendent crimes.

With his excellent style and firm belief trained by the army, Hu Changjun accepted the mission issued by his higher-ups and quickly gathered a team.

The new team was named the Investigation Department, and they were in charge of fighting criminals who were awakeners.

After slowly understanding the lives of many awakeners, Hu Changjun recalled the motto of his higher-up.

"Fewer enemies, more friends."

Therefore, he set up the Exchange Bureau, and the policy of 'one carrot, one stick' was set.

The Investigation Department was in charge of apprehending and killing awakener criminals, while the Exchange Bureau was in charge of stabilizing and roping in neutral awakeners. The chaotic situation in the country was thus stabilized.

Such stability was not without cost. The number of casualties in the Investigation Apartment had always been high.

Hu Changjun's only son also worked in the Investigation Department after his awakening.

In the end, he died in the battle to annihilate the Gray Wheel Cult, which had run amuck in the country for a time.

Ning Shi remembered Hao Meng's comments on Hu Changjun.

"He's a true national hero and a capable leader. Not only is his strength unfathomable, but he also has many powerful men under him."

"His only weakness is that he values relationships too much." 𝗇𝑜𝐕𝚎𝐋𝚞𝗌𝒃.𝓒𝗈𝓂

Towards such a country's backbone, Ning Shi was extremely respectful.

After the car arrived at the secret warehouse, Hu Changjun had not arrived yet. Ning Shi stood outside the courtyard door of the secret warehouse to welcome Hu Changjun.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, Hu Changjun appeared in front of the crowd in a red contract car.

After parking the car properly, Hu Changjun opened the car door and walked over quickly.

After holding Ning Shi's hand, he kept apologizing.

"I'm sorry, Principal Ning, the traffic in Central City was too heavy and there was a delay on the way. Sorry for making you wait!"

Hu Changjun's arms were thick, and there were calluses on the inside of his thumb. It was obvious that he had been a chef for many years.

"Minister Hu, you're too polite. You can just call me Xiao Ning."

Ning Shi's respect for Hu Changjun was completely from the bottom of his heart, but he made the situation a little reserved.

Hu Changjun laughed out loud. He looked extremely happy.

...

"Then I'll be disrespectful. Xiao Ning, let's go in and talk. I participated in the construction of this secret warehouse and I'm familiar with it. I'll take you to pick something good!"

Ning Shi walked beside Hu Changjun and said, "Minister Hu, my reward is fixed and I don't have to choose. But it's not bad to look around and learn new things.

"Xiao Ning, don't you still have 1000 merit points? You can exchange them for a lot of good things in the secret warehouse. The items listed on the awakener forum can not be considered to be of high quality. The real treasures are in the secret warehouse."

After walking to the door of the secret vault, Yun Moxiang was not allowed to enter and was left outside.

Hu Changjun brought Ning Shi into the secret warehouse.

"According to the rules, I can't tell you about the structure of the secret warehouse and the storage situation. I will pick a few good things for you according to your needs. You can decide for yourself whether you want them or not."

The secret warehouse's overall environment was very dark, but with Ning Shi's vision, he could still see clearly.

The entire secret warehouse was like a large intelligent warehouse. Hu Changjun entered a string of account numbers and passwords on the computer, and then entered a few item codes.

After the input, about 30 seconds later, the track in front of Ning Shi began to turn.

After a while, a few items appeared on the tracks and moved to Ning Shi.

Hu Changjun stretched out his hand.

...

"This is the perfect awakening potion, an A-level spiritual crystal, and a war insect armor. Open the armor first, and I'll teach you how to wear it."

Ning Shi took the three items and took out the war insect armor from a square box as Hu Changjun had instructed.

To his surprise, it was not a set of armor, but a black metallic ball the size of a football.

Looking at the metal ball, Hu Changjun said, "Concentrate your spirit and calm your breath. Focus your spiritual power on the metal ball, close your eyes and sense it."

"In the next few days, if you have time, use your spiritual power to sense the metal ball. In about two weeks, you should be able to leave a spiritual imprint on the metal ball."

"At that time, the war insect armor will start to attach itself to your body."

Hu Changjun was about to introduce the other items when the metal ball in Ning Shi's hand began to change.

Like a huge drop of water, it quickly collapsed and turned into a liquid, flowing along Ning Shi's arm to his whole body.

In just a few seconds, Ning Shi's entire body was covered in a layer of black metal, even his head.

Ning Shi sensed for a moment and issued an order with his mind. The metal on his head quickly faded away, revealing Ning Shi's head.

Hu Changjun was dumbfounded. He thought that he was a genius awakener, and at the age of 38, he had advanced to a level 9 awakener in less than ten years of cultivation.

Despite that, it took him two weeks to leave a spiritual mark on the war insect armor.

As a result, Ning Shi, a strength-type awakener, whose spiritual power should have been his weakness, took care of the war insect armor in a few seconds.

"The future generations are truly fearsome!"

Hu Changjun didn't know that Ning Shi had experience with using his spiritual imprint to open the two interspatial rings in the game. Ning Shi was more familiar with this than he was.

Ning Shi didn't see Hu Changjun's shock. He was busy studying the war insect armor.

When this armor was attached to his body, it was as light as nothing.

It was also very breathable, and the material was cold and smooth, very comfortable.

Ning Shi could control its shape and coverage at will.

With it, he could even save on clothes.

Ning Shi had a question.

"Minister Hu, looking at the shape of the war insect armor, it looks more like leather armor or inner armor. Why is it called armor?"

Hu Changjun explained as he looked at Ning Shi like he was looking at a treasure.

"It's called this name because of this!"

Hu Changjun did not move, but a complete set of heavy armor appeared on his body.

Hu Changjun's entire body was wrapped in red armor. From the outside, he looked like a combination of Iron Man and armored warrior.

After the demonstration, Hu Changjun put away the armor and continued, "The corpses of the war insects are very strong. With our current level of technology, we can't forge this material at all."

"We can't give up on such a strong material, so we piled the bodies of the war insects together and studied them slowly."

"Surprisingly, as time passed, the corpses of the war insects that were piled together would gradually gather together."

"Half a year later, the war insect corpses formed the first set of armor, which was the one I just demonstrated."

"Because it looked like a heavy armor, it was called the war insect armor."

Hu Changjun observed Ning Shi's armor and then said, "You can also name it yourself. I named mine Scarlet Armor."

"After it was formed, we counted and found out that the Scarlet Armor had consumed a total of 10280 war insect corpses."

"After another month, the remaining war insect corpses automatically condensed into a set of armor. The armor was a leather armor, which is still in the secret warehouse."

"The leather armor consumed 14400 combat bug corpses."

"There were 129600 combat bug corpses left in the secret warehouse."

"Just when everyone thought that these war bugs would form more sets of armor…"

"Three months later, the last of the war insects actually gathered together and formed a metal ball, which is the inner armor you're wearing."

"Each insect armor has different abilities. This is your trump card, so you don't have to show me too much."

Hearing this, Ning Shi's heart was filled with gratitude.

It was obvious that the more dead insects there were, the stronger the armor would be.

The last set of armor actually condensed the bodies of 129600 combat insects, which was 10 times more than Hu Changjun's armor.

If it wasn't for Hu Changjun's intervention, he wouldn't have been able to get the strongest war insect armor.

Hu Changjun made a joke and laughed, "It looks like your armor isn't that great after all, even though it can change its shape."

"Close-fitting inner armors had no defense against heavy weapons."

"It's not like my crimson armor, which can even defend against heavy weapons."

Hu Changjun deliberately said this to ease Ning Shi's psychological burden.

Ning Shi didn't argue. An armor that could change into a shield, what couldn't it resist?

Both Hu Changjun and Ning Shi understood this.

Seeing that Ning Shi had already mastered the armor, Hu Changjun continued his introduction.

"You can take the perfect awakening potion directly. If you don't need the A-level spiritual crystals, you can keep them for now. You can give them away or trade them in the future."

"I'll now recommend the first item to you, the Thunder Larva Saber."

Hu Changjun picked up a rectangular box. After opening it, he took out a long saber.

It's blade was about two meters long, and the body of the blade was densely covered with bumps in the shape of fish scales. Between the gaps of the scales, silver-white lightning would occasionally flash.

The black hilt was inlaid with a plain stone, which looked exactly the same as the three A-Class spiritual crystals Ning Shi had put away. 𝗇𝔬𝚟𝓮𝔩𝐔𝚜𝚋.𝒞𝐎𝐌

Hu Changjun picked up the long saber and waved it a few times.

Buzz…

The sound of electric currents instantly rang out in the air. As the saber flashed, the air currents were stirred.

After showing off the saber, Hu Changjun began to explain.

"You should know that spiritual crystals are randomly produced in various minerals."

"If some metal mines produced A-level spiritual crystals, the metal mines around the spiritual crystals might be contaminated by the energy of the spiritual crystals and produce a material called spiritual metal."

"Spiritual metal is not only tough, but it could also conduct elemental energy, making it extremely precious."

"This Thunder Larva Saber was made with spiritual metal as the main material and the corpses of thunder moths."

"Not only is the blade extremely hard and indestructible, but it also deals lightning damage."

"With an A-level spiritual crystal embedded in the hilt, even people without lightning special abilities can use this sword to deal lightning damage."

Hu Changjun handed the saber to Ning Shi and continued, "The faster you swing the blade, the higher the lightning damage!"

"I know you're an expert at using the saber, so I've specially chosen this item for you."

Stroking the Thunder Larva Saber, Ning Shi liked it very much. This saber not only had high damage, but it could also conceal his special ability, lightning field.

...

It saved him the trouble of explaining the lightning to others.

Hu Changjun picked up a small square box and handed it to Ning Shi.

"This is the insect brain pill, the latest pill developed by the scientific research institute. It's made by extracting the 'Shen' material from the bodies of shrieking insects, scarab insects, and other insects that are good at spiritual power and elemental attacks."

"Long-term consumption, coupled with effective will training, can enhance your spiritual power and will resistance."

"You're a strength-type awakener with a strong body. However, you need to make up for your weakness in spiritual power."

Feeling Ning Shi's surprised eyes, Hu Changjun laughed heartily. "H is not the only genius scientist in the research institute, although H and…"

Hu Changjun realized that he had said something wrong, so he immediately stopped talking and changed the topic.

"The ancient people said that disaster and blessing depend on each other. When the insect plague first appeared, there were six insect worlds in the world, and three of them were in our country. At that time, everyone complained about the injustice of God."

"Why was the Yunmeng Kingdom so unfortunate?"

"Now that we've survived the most difficult period, we've begun to use the resources of the insect world to develop a unique extraordinary civilization."

"At this time, the benefits of having the three insect world boundaries are obvious. Although the pressure of defense is huge, the resources we can obtain are also more."

...

Only Yunmeng Kingdom, which had the best organization and management ability, would dare to say such words.

The three insect world boundaries would be a nightmare for any country.

Only Yunmeng Kingdom, where the warriors were not afraid of sacrifice and heroes went in one after another, was able to tenaciously defend their land.

Only by defending against the swarm's attack would one be qualified to study the resources brought by the swarm.

After introducing the insect brain pill, Hu Changjun took out the last item. It was a jade box.

The jade box was green and white in color. Even if Ning Shi did not know much about jades, he could tell that it was a top-grade jade.

For such a precious jade box to be used to store items, the value of the items inside could be imagined.

Hu Changjun opened the jade box, and there was a stone inside.

The stone was green in color, but on the surface of the stone, there were many blood-red stripes that resembled branches.

After looking at it for a long time, it was as if these articles were the blood vessels of the human body, and there was blood flowing in the blood vessels.

The blood vessels would twist, and the stone would become a beating heart.

Ning Shi felt that the stone was attracting him.

Pa!

Hu Changjun closed the jade box and looked at Ning Shi with satisfaction.

"Xiao Ning, your willpower is indeed very strong. Ordinary people would fall into confusion and madness when they see this spiritual crystal. Even powerful awakeners could be easily bewitched by it."

Ning Shi's phone suddenly lit up, and a game notification appeared on the home page of the screen.

Ning Shi took a glance.

[Discovered S-level spiritual crystal. Please use it to update the game system. Another reminder: the higher the level of energy used to update the system, the more benefits you will get.]

Previously, Ning Shi had not used the beginner and intermediate magic cores to update the system version. Firstly, it was because the need for the version update was not urgent. Secondly, when Ning Shi used the intermediate magic cores to charge the updated system, the system had given him a hint.

[Free skill: insight technique. Able to inspect a character's information. The information is determined by the ratio of the player's spirit energy to the target's spirit energy. Number of uses: 2 times a day.]

[You've used an A-level spiritual crystal to update the system. You'll be rewarded with one skill.]

In other words, if he had used energy lower than a-level spiritual crystals to update the system, he might not get a free skill.

Therefore, after Ning Shi charged it once, he stopped the version update.

Hu Changjun did not know what Ning Shi was thinking. He raised the jade box in his hand and began to introduce.

"The most precious treasure I know of is in the jade box. It's an S-level spiritual crystal!

89 Overlord

"After an awakener reaches Tier 9, the next level up is the overlord realm. Those who reach the overlord realm are no longer called awakeners, but are collectively called overlords." 𝒩𝑜𝗏𝚎𝓵𝔲𝗌𝒃.𝒸𝒐𝗆

"This name was given by the awakeners from the West. It meant that one had a significant position as an awakener and hence could be called the overlord of a territory."

"After reaching the overlord realm, the energy intensity of the ability and the degree of understanding of the ability's law reaches a qualitative change."

"An overlord could easily suppress the abilities of awakeners of the same element and also give awakeners of the same element a certain amount of power."

"The Flame Messenger Brian that you killed earlier was the apostle of the Flame Overlord William."

"As an overlord with fire-type abilities, William is able to suppress the fire-type awakeners' abilities."

"He could also give his fire energy to his apostle and help him obtain powerful abilities."

"Of course, if the bestowment frequency is too high, it will harm the overlord's own strength."

Hu Changjun touched the jade box in his hand and muttered, "No matter what, the difference in strength between an overlord and an awakener is like the difference between heaven and earth."

"Moreover, after reaching the overlord realm, one is even immune to nuclear attacks, and the country would have almost no deterrent to the overlords."

"Although there was no actual evidence, according to the research of awakener scholars, the lifespans of overlords could be as long as 1000 years. They are truly long-lived species."

"And this S-Class spiritual crystal is an essential item for a Tier 9 awakener to break through to the overlord realm."

Hearing such a secret, Ning Shi immediately thought of the Global Young Awakeners Martial Arts Competition and could not help but ask, "In the Global Young Awakeners Martial Arts Competition held in January next year, there will definitely be overlords from the MieIn Federation and Kingdom of Mies who will bestow new awakeners abilities, right?"

"There should be overlords in our country, would they do this?"

Hu Changjun shook his head dejectedly and said, "The energy level of an overlord is very high, and they usually bestow it to Tier 7 awakeners and above."

"If they grant power to newly awakened people, they won't be able to withstand the intense energy and would likely end up either dead or injured."

"Only a small number of lucky people could survive it and their strength would, of course, improve by leaps and bounds."

"The ratio of newbies withstanding the power bestowment might not even be one in a thousand. We can't do such a thing."

"There would definitely be participants who successfully received power from the overlord in foreign countries. These people were estimated to be at least Tier 6 awakeners."

"A newbie who's only been cultivating for four months and has reached Tier 6. Our contestants are simply no match for them."

"In this competition, the MieIn Federation and the Kingdom of Mies will definitely get the top two places. Our goal is to secure a position in top four and compete for the top three."

"As for the international opinions saying that Yunmeng citizens are not suitable for cultivation and that it is a waste for us to take the awakening potion, we can only tolerate these comments for the time being."

"We need time to digest the wealth from the awakening potion and the resources from the insect world."

"After all, the time our country has come into contact with awakeners is 18 years behind that of MieIn and Mies."

"In these 18 years, not only did our cultivation time lag behind, but our cultivation resources had also been seized on a large scale."

"In the past, we might have unknowingly sold our precious spiritual crystals as ordinary minerals to foreign countries."

Ning Shi's expression was grave. In 18 years, Miein and Mies might have swept a large number of cultivation resources around the world, and the number and quality of their awakeners were leading the world.

"It seems that I have to strengthen the training of my disciples!"

Ning Shi thought to himself that he would never accept to only compete for the third and fourth places in this competition. He had to show the strength of Yunmeng Kingdom and shut the foul mouths of the foreigners with his strength.

Hu Changjun looked at Ning Shi and smiled.

"We're getting off topic. This S-level spiritual crystal can be exchanged for 5000 merit points, and the right to exchange for it can only be obtained after the overlords discuss."

"As long as you have enough merit points, you can come and exchange for this spiritual crystal at any time."

Hu Changjun had been in management work for half his life, so he cherished talents very much. He sincerely planned for Ning Shi.

"Xiao Ning, I hit it off with you, so I'm just saying some things even though we don't know each other well yet. If I'm wrong, please don't mind."

"There are two paths you can take in the future."

"If you want to work in the government, you can first work as a principal for three to five years. After you have established a solid foundation in the awakener school system, you can then transfer to the government department and take up a leadership position."

"Your career as a principal will be of great help to you in your official work."

"If you're not interested in becoming a government official, you can also take the path of enhancing your personal strength."

"With your current age and strength, it won't be a problem for you to become a Tier 9 awakener after a period of dedicated cultivation."

"After that, you can use S-level spiritual crystals to break through the shackles and become a overlord."

"Of course, one S-level spiritual crystal might not necessarily help you break through. I promise that as long as you work hard, you will receive at least three S-level spiritual crystals in the future."

"Of course, you can also choose to take both paths at the same time."

Looking at Hu Changjun's sincere eyes, Ning Shi was really touched.

The style of the older generation of leaders was vividly displayed by him.

The old leaders would always sincerely help the young and plan the development path for the young. However, the new generation of leaders who were helped by the older generation seem to be gradually losing this good tradition.

Many people no longer cared about the thoughts and future of young people. They only cared about whether their performance or KPI was good or not.

Young people had become the screws of society. While they worked hard, they had to be careful not to let their leaders take away the fruits of their labor.

This might be the pain brought about by the rapid development of society.

"Minister Hu, thank you…"

Just as Ning Shi was about to express his thanks, Hu Changjun waved his hand and interrupted him, "I have two great pleasures in life. One is cooking. I'm happy when I see other people eating the food I've made with a satisfied face."

"The other is to help the country cultivate useful talents. You are upright and have great potential. If we don't spend resources on you, it will be a loss for the country."

"You still don't know your potential, so I'll explain it to you in detail."

"Although the Saturn world is vast, there is a limit or a total for all kinds of energy."

"For example, if the world's fire energy was quantified to be 100 points, the number of fire energy points that could be mastered by transcendent people might be 50."

...

"The more fire element overlords there were, the more dispersed the 50 points of energy would be, and the more difficult it would be for the fire element overlords to cultivate."

"Research had shown that, of all abilities, the first person to become a overlord would have the fastest cultivation speed. If a second overlord emerges, the first overlord's cultivation speed would become slower."

"From this point of view, overlords of the same element are natural enemies."

Ning Shi instantly understood that under the situation where the total energy was fixed, the more overlords there were, the slower the cultivation speed and the longer the cultivation time.

Wasn't this inner competition?

It seemed that even the transcendent world could not escape the fate of inner competition.

"As the only Tier 8 strength-type awakener, your strength is far beyond that of others. The moment you become a overlord, you will be able to enjoy the strength-type energy for a long period of time."

This period of time will be enough for you to accumulate enough experience to even become the strongest overlord."

Hu Changjun put the jade box back into the track and put the S-Class spiritual crystals back into the secret warehouse.

"There are only six overlords in our country at the moment. Whether it's in terms of numbers or strength, we can't compare to the MieIn Federation or the Kingdom of Mies. Fortunately, we are united, while the foreign overlords are constantly fighting."

"Only in this situation can we gain a foothold in the transcendent world."

...

"You're the potential seed that I think highly of. Now that disasters are happening everywhere, the world is in chaos."

"In troubled times, there will always be a large number of heroes and geniuses emerging. Scientist H is one of them, and so are you."

"If I give you any resources, you should accept them with a clear mind. This is for the community, for the country, and not for selfish reasons."

With that, Hu Changjun handed the Thunder Larva Saber and the insect brain ill to Ning Shi.

"These two items are my meeting gift to you. I've already paid for them using the merit points from my account."

"When your strength reaches the ninth Tier, with the merit points you've accumulated as a principal and an advisor, you won't have a big shortage to exchange for the S-level spiritual crystal."

Ning Shi did not decline and accepted Hu Changjun's gift.

The two of them walked out of the secret warehouse. Hu Changjun was busy with work, so he took his leave.

"I still have things to deal with. Xiao Yun, accompany Xiao Ning back to the hotel to rest. The meeting in the afternoon will be held at the hotel."

"By the way, Xiao Ning, if you're confident, you can find time to take a look at the insect world boundary and the inside of the insect world to broaden your horizons."

After that, Hu Changjun drove away.

Ning Shi's heart skiped a beat. Now that he had the super physique talent and the war insect armor, his defense was unparalleled. It was probably not dangerous to go to the insect world. He should indeed find an opportunity to go deep into the insect world to understand the situation.

Furthermore, the ultimate mission of the game was to enter the world of Moen with his main body and retrieve his avatar. He also had to find the boundary of the world of Moen.

It was necessary to get familiar with the world boundaries.

However, this was not urgent. The most important thing now was to return to the hotel and drink the perfect awakening potion.

"What kind of special ability will I get?"

Report chapter Comments

After Hu Changjun left, Ning Shi put the Thunder Larva Saber on the car and got in.

He handed the manuscript of the extreme body forging method to Yun Moxiang, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, and said, "Minister Hu left in a hurry just now, so I forgot to give this to him in person. Help me pass it to him as a gift to thank him for our meeting."

Yun Moxiang looked at the manuscript and was overjoyed. As Ning Shi's liaison, the greater the contribution Ning Shi made, the more she would receive the corresponding credit.

"It seems like you had a good time with old Minister," she said with a smile.

Ning Shi didn't answer. He just took out his phone and accepted Hu Changjun's WeChat friend request.

"Old Hu, the cook."

It was Hu Changjun's WeChat nickname.

From the conversation just now, Ning Shi could guess that Hu Changjun should already be a big shot in the overlord realm.

It was just that he didn't know what ability he had mastered.

It was already 11:30 in the noon. Fortunately, the location of the secret warehouse was close to the hotel.

The car drove for about 15 minutes before they arrived at Jinrui Hot Springs Hotel in Central City.

It is a five-star luxury hotel.

The hotel had been in business for 20 years. Although it had been refurbished, the style was still rather old-fashioned.

It was filled with the aura of the wealthy.

As they walked into the hotel, a fragrant smell hit them in the face. In the middle of the hall, there was a large publicity display shelf.

"A warm welcome to all principals to Yunmeng Kingdoms' first principal's meeting of the Awakener Schools. "

As one of the official cooperative hotels, the attendant recognized Yun Moxiang's uniform at a glance and bowed to remind them.

"Welcome, distinguished guests. This hotel has a special registration counter for the participants of the principal's meeting. Please follow me."

"You can leave your luggage here. We'll bring it to your room later."

"There's no need," Yun moxiang said. "I've already arranged the rooms. There's no need to register. We can take our own luggage."

"Thank you!"

After thanking the waiter, Ning Shi followed Yun Moxiang.

The two of them came to the elevator and pressed the button.

"Consultant Ning, your room is 1908. This is the room card. You can rest in your room for about half an hour, and then go to the dining room downstairs to eat."

"The meeting will be held in the big conference room on the third floor. It will begin at one o'clock sharp."

The elevator door opened and the two of them walked in.

Yun Moxiang handed Ning Shi a file and introduced, "At present, there are over 3000 awakener schools in the country. Only 100 representatives have been invited to this principal's meeting. Those who are able to participate are all experts."

"The process and topics of this conference are all in the document bag. You can read them when you arrive at the meeting. Today's meeting may be long."

Ning Shi knew that the principals attending this meeting were basically all over 40 years old. He was a new recruit and came here mainly to learn.

Unless it was a matter of principle, he did not want to express any opinions.

"You've worked hard, Miss Yun. I'll go back to my room to rest."

Walking to the door of room 1908, Ning Shi swiped the room card to open the door.

It was a luxurious room with a large bed. It was roughly estimated to be more than 40 square meters.

The floor of the room was covered with a soft carpet, and the four walls were covered with light gray wallpaper.

It was rare for a five-star hotel to have a balcony.

He could vaguely see the Yunmeng Mountain in the distance from the balcony.

In the room, there was a large bed that was two meters wide.

There was a huge curtain opposite the bed, which can be used to project movies on the projector above the bed.

It seemed like a waste for only one person to sleep in this gigantic room.

There was no one else in the room. Ning Shi no longer disguised himself and directly put the valuable items into the system backpack.

All that was left was a bottle of the perfect awakening potion.

He picked up the potion and shook it gently. The originally clear potion was suddenly filled with golden light spots.

Ning Shi remembered that the last time he had drunk the ordinary awakening potion, the light spots were light silver instead.

Without any hesitation, he drank it all.

It tasted cold with a little bitterness, like drinking a cold cup of new tea.

After drinking it, Ning Shi's body didn't have any reaction. There were no signs of blood boiling or emotional excitement as stated in the official description.

"Did the awakening fail?"

As Ning Shi was thinking, his phone on the bed vibrated.

He walked over to pick it up, and the game system gave him a hint.

[The host has taken the perfect awakening potion. According to the analysis of the host's physical fitness, the following abilities can be awakened. Please choose:

1. Strength-type;

2. Elemental-type;

3. Transformation-type;

4. Spiritual-type;

5. Summoner-type;

6. Enabling-type.]

Damn, there was actually such a benefit. With the help of the game system, Ning Shi could choose which ability to awaken.

He clicked on the icons of each ability one by one, and the game system gave the corresponding explanations.

[Strength-type: possess the ultimate physical strength, pursue the perfect body, and seek only one's own body without relying on external aid. Achieve Dao through strength.]

Elemental-type: possess the ability to control the elements, pursue the power of the elements, turn one's body into elements, dominate an area. Achieve Dao through enlightenment.]

Transformation-type: possess the ability to transform into a myriad of things, pursue becoming a powerful species. The body can transform into anything, gathering the strengths of everything. Achieve Dao through transformations.

Spiritual-type: possess strong spiritual power, pursue spiritual transcendence, immortal spirit, create things from the void. Achieve Dao with God.

Summoner-type: possess the ability to summon companions, pursue indestructible bonds, summon endless beings, winning with numbers. Achieve Dao with the group.

Enabling-type: possess the special ability of enabling, pursue the spirituality of things, seeking external materials to feed one's body. Achieving Dao with spirit.]

As for summoner and enabling awakeners, Ning Shi had yet to come into contact with them.

After all, he was only the principal of a strength-type specialized school. The awakeners he came into contact with were all strength-type.

According to the introduction, the summoner-type awakeners could summon combat partners, while the enabling-type awakeners could grant intelligence to objects. Both relied on external objects to fight.

Ning Shi found it difficult to choose between the six abilities.

At the critical moment, the game system gave a prompt.

[The host's body has the highest compatibility with the transformation-type at 99%, followed by the strength-type at 90%, and the worst is the enabling-type at 33%. The host's spirituality is not enough.]

Ning Shi was speechless at the game system's mockery, but he didn't dare to be negligent.

This was because of the system's hint.

[The higher the compatibility, the faster the cultivation of the ability.]

This immediately helped Ning Shi make the choice. He directly clicked on the third option, the transformation-type.

Thump! Thump thump! Thump thump!

Ning Shi felt that his heart was beating violently, and the blood in his body was boiling. Even a certain part of his lower body was raised high and filled with blood.

A fascinating piece of flesh began to grow beside the heart, from the size of an ant to the size of a fist.

The shape of the flesh and blood tissue was constantly changing, and finally, it was fixed into the image of a giant beast.

The giant beast stood on both feet, opened its arms, raised its head high, and it's mouth was open, as if it was roaring.

The sharp teeth in its mouth, the long sharp claws on its hands, and the scales all over its body, all of which showed how terrifying the giant beast was.

The giant beast looked like a combination of an tyrannosaurus rex and a behemoth.

On the body of the giant beast, lightning flashed from time to time.

Ning Shi instantly understood.

"This can't be the image of a Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus, right?"

It was no wonder his body was 99% compatible with the transformation ability.

He possessed the bloodline of the Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus. He didn't need to cultivate at all to be able to use the transformation ability to transform into a Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus!

Ning Shi could feel that as long as he immersed his consciousness into the flesh and blood tissue that looked like a giant beast next to his heart, he could instantly complete the transformation!

This was a hotel. If he transformed, the hotel would probably collapse.

Ning Shi resisted the urge to transform immediately. He directly entered the game and clicked on the synchronization of the avatar and the main body's abilities.

Then, he entered the first perspective and took over the avatar.

At this moment, his avatar was having a meal with Snow Fog in the City Lord's mansion in Duohuang. Beside him was the envoy from the Elven Empire, Olicia.

Ning Shi quickly apologized and took his leave. He shot out like a bolt of lightning and came to the vast wilderness.

He immersed his mind and activated the transformation!

Roar!

Ning Shi let out a furious roar, but he discovered that the sound coming out of his mouth was no longer a human's angry roar, but a Tyrannosaurus' Roar!

The mountain and forest became incomparably small in front of Ning Shi's eyes. The originally tall forest now looked a bit like the weeds on the roadside.

Looking into the distance, Ning Shi could overlook the entire Duohuang City. The bustling Duohuang City was like a large paddy field.

At this moment, Ning Shi had already transformed into a Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus that was over a hundred meters tall!

He felt that his body was filled with invincible power. With every step he took, the ground would collapse and shake.

Countless magical beasts scattered in the forest, like a dense swarm of ants.

This berserk sense of power, along with the desire to kill, made Ning Shi unable to hold it in any longer. He roared again.

Roar!

With a single roar, the wind and clouds surged, and everything changed color.

None of the magical beasts dared to escape, and all of them laid on the ground helplessly.

In Duohuang City, countless people heard the roar. Their faces turned pale and they fell to the ground. 𝗇𝔬𝚟𝓮𝔩𝐔𝚜𝚋.𝒞𝐎𝐌

Snow Fog and Olicia looked at each other and flew into the air. They found Ning Shi's Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus.

Olicia's expression changed. She mumbled, "What magical beast is this? Moon goddesses above, this thing gives me even more pressure than a God!"

Through her follower's perception, Snow Fog knew that the huge demonic beast in front of her was transformed from Ning Shi.

Her eyes were filled with surprise and fascination.

Ning Shi checked the data after the transformation.

After transforming into a Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus, Ning Shi's physique reached a terrifying 48 points!

His spiritual energy had also increased, reaching 33 points.

There was no change in his innate talents and ability, but with this terrifying physical strength, Ning Shi felt a desire to tear everything apart from the bottom of his heart. He wanted to slaughter super magical beasts and swallow the so-called gods alive.

This was the terrifying result of a special ability with a 99% compatibility!

After transforming for two minutes, Ning Shi felt his heart beating faster and he began to feel dizzy.

He had reached the limit of his transformation.

Ning Shi quickly changed back to his original body, gave the avatar to the system hack, and then exited the game system.

From the looks of it, he could transform into the Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus for about two minutes, and his combat power would increase greatly.

This was an extremely powerful trump card!

The only pity was that his body was already strong enough to begin with, so he couldn't enjoy the additional talent and traits that the Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus had.

Ning Shi studied the transformation ability in his room again. He found that he could control the size of the Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus transformation. The smaller the size of the transformation, the smaller the increase in strength, and the longer the transformation could last.

Moreover, he could feel that he still had the energy to form another flesh tissue next to his heart.

The system also gave him a hint.

[The host is a Tier 1 transformation-type awakener. The Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus belongs to your bloodline transformation and is not a transformation target of your own choice. You can still choose one more transformation target.]

One transformation target had already been confirmed to be the Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus, and there was another one. Ning Shi wanted to think about it carefully and choose a suitable transformation path.

He had spent a lot of time awakening and studying his transformation ability in his room. It was already 12:40, and it was almost time for the meeting.

Ning Shi quickly collected his thoughts and went to the buffet restaurant downstairs to take a few bites.

In his rush, he did not notice the system hint.

[The host can consume a second bottle of the perfect awakening potion and attempt a second awakening.]

Ning Shi quickly came to the big conference room on the third floor.

The meeting room was filled with people, and everyone's seat was marked with a name tag.

Ning Shi saw his name at a glance. It was actually in the middle of the first row.

This was a proper center spot.

On his left was Cai Peiyun, the principal of the Qingbei Awakener School in Central City.

On his right was Wu Qihua, the principal of the Fujiao Awakener School in Shangmo City.

They were all big shots, so Ning Shi sat in his seat in a low-profile manner.

However, since Ning Shi was the youngest principal in the whole place, and he was sitting in the central position, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Many principals had heard of Ning Shi and knew that he was the principal of a strength-type specialized school. His ability was around Tier 8.

Some people were curious about Ning Shi, while others thought highly of him. After all, he was such a young Tier 8 awakener, and his future potential was limitless.

Some people were unconvinced.

Many of the principals present were Tier 9 awakeners, and they thought that they was much stronger than Ning Shi, a Tier 8 strength-type awakener.

In the circle of awakeners, the strong were always the king. Moreover, the discrimination against strength-type awakeners had not changed.

Naturally, there were people who were unhappy with Ning Shi sitting in the central position.

However, everyone was an elite, and no one was a hothead. Even if they had opinions about Ning Shi, these people would not show it and casually make enemies.

"Hello, Principal Ning!"

"Hello, Principal Cai! Hello, Principal Wu!"

Ning Shi politely greeted the two principals and stopped talking.

He had just awakened his transformation ability, so he was still in a state of excitement.

His mind was filled with thoughts about his next transformation.

This meeting was hosted by the director of the Exchange Bureau, Tian Jun. Minister Hu Changjun and other related official leaders attended as well.

Time was tight. After the leader gave a short speech, the meeting moved on to the first topic.

"The timing for the Campus Awakeners' Competition."

The attending principals, other than Ning Shi, had all made ample preparations.

Everyone had their own opinions, and the meeting was very intense.

In the end, they decided that the competition would be held in 55 days.

Five days later, the National Awakeners' competition would be the first to be held. The duration of the competition was about 50 days.

The Campus Awakeners' Competition would follow right after.

By staggering the two competitions, not only would it not cause a conflict of interest, but it would also give the students more time to cultivate and prevent the contestants from being too weak.

Ning Shi was like an outsider at this time. His mind was still on the transformation ability, the pen in his hand constantly writing on the blank notebook.

For example, he wrote, "Monkey – Monkey King – Monkey demon – Stone monkey – Sun Wukong", "Do 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and 10 kilometers of long-distance running every day for three years. Then, you lose all your hair and become Saitama."

"The body of a python, the head of a crocodile, the horns of a buck, the eyes of a tiger, the scales of a red carp, the legs of a giant lizard, the claws of an eagle, the tail of a white shark, and the feelers of a whale. This will gradually evolve into a divine dragon."

"Snake – Giant snake – Snake demon – Human head and snake body – Fuxi."

On the one hand, Ning Shi wanted to transform into a strong enough creature, but on the other hand, he was worried that his target was too illusionary and he could not achieve a complete transformation at all.

He kept thinking and struggling.

Even after the first part of the meeting had ended and everyone had entered a short break, he did not notice.

Seeing the contents of Ning Shi's notebook, principal Cai Peiyun of the Qingbei Awakener School said, "Principal Ning, you seem to be studying problems concerning the transformation-type? I didn't expect that a strength-type genius like you would be so hardworking, and still research on other types of abilities. I'm impressed."

After Cai Peiyun was done with the formalities, he pointed at Wu Qihua and said, "Principal Wu is a Tier 9 transformation-type expert, and the best one in Yunmeng Kingdom. If you have any questions, you can discuss them with him."

Wu Qihua was all smiles when he received Principal Cai's compliment. He waved his hand.

"I don't dare to be the first. I just started on this journey earlier. One day, I'll be overtaken by the younger generation. Principal Ning, if you have any questions, you can raise them and we can discuss them."

"The sparks of thought often come from constant communication and discussion."

"Thank you for your reminder, Principal Cai!" Ning Shi first thanked Cai Peiyun, then asked Wu Qihua.

"Principal Wu, I'm thinking about transformation paths. How do I design a transformation path from weak to strong?"

Wu Qihua was stunned. He didn't expect ning Shi to ask such a broad question. He thought about it and slowly answered, "The transformation-type system, whether it is within or outside of the country, is a small faction with very few awakeners."

"Currently, the transformation path was roughly divided into two paths, the reality path and the fantasy path."

"The reality path advocated using the existences as a basis and transforming the target into a real creature. The advantage of this was that the difficulty of transformation was relatively low, and there was a real target to observe, so the cultivation progress of the transformation was faster. The disadvantage was that there was a limit to his strength, and the awakener could not exceed his transformed target in reality."

"For example, if my transformation target is you, Principal Ning, then my strength will never surpass Principal Ning's.

"The fantasy path advocated turning fantasy and virtual into reality, and transforming the target into fantasy creatures, such as characters created in movies and TV works, mythical creatures, and so on. This transformation was very difficult, but the upper limit of strength was extremely high, and there may even be no end to it."

"Personally, I think that the best way is to use the realistic path at low level, and only join the fantasy path after reaching Tier 7 and above."

"The essence of the transformation-type cultivation is not to surpass the target, but to use traits of your transformations to adapt to different living and fighting environments."

Wu Qihua didn't keep anything to himself. Instead, he shared all of his thoughts.

"When the transformation-type awakener reaches Tier 7, he can transform into three targets, six targets at Tier 8, and nine targets at Tier 9.

"After reaching Tier 9, there would be an advantage. The body's characteristics would begin to be fed back to the target of the transformation."

"For example, when I transform into an eagle, my combat ability isn't strong, but I can obtain the special ability of flight. When I transform into a tiger after, I can give the flying special ability that I obtained from the eagle to the tiger."

"The tiger would grow wings and become a winged tiger."

"On the other hand, when I transform into an eagle, I will also gain the explosive power of a tiger and my flying speed will be greatly enhanced."

"Therefore, you have to think about not only the transformation path but also the combination of the transformation targets. It's just like you young people playing card games."

"Your transformation targets are the cards in your hands. Each transformation target doesn't have to be the strongest, but when combined together, they must be able to form a powerful combat ability."

"Principal Ning, you can't let a student pursue a perfect transformation target, because no transformation target is perfect. Even if he turns into Sun Wukong, there's still Buddha to restrain him."

Ning Shi thought of his Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus. After transforming, it was invincible on land. However, it also had a weakness, which was that it could not fly and its attack range was limited.

He could only rely on his jumping ability to fight in the sky.

There was indeed no perfect creature.

Ning Shi sighed after hearing Wu Qihua's words.

"In that case, the transformation-type is a late-stage profession. There is only one transformation target before Tier 7. It has a single feature and weaker abilities. Only after Tier 7, there will be a burst of strength."

Wu Qihua laughed heartily and shook his head.

"This topic is too broad, it's hard to explain in a few words. I didn't make it clear to Principal Ning." 𝑛𝒐𝑣𝔢𝑙𝑢𝓈𝔟.𝔠𝗈𝚖

"If one's talent wasn't bad and the first transformation target was chosen well, the early stages of the transformation-type awakener would be extremely explosive in battle, but the sustainability would be poor."

"For example, a Tier 3 transformation-type awakener could set his transformation target as a Tier 8 elemental-type awakener.

"Those with good talent could even temporarily gain about 5% of the strength of a Tier 8 awakener. Although the duration is only two to three seconds, the instantaneous explosive power could even reach a Tier 5 or higher."

"That makes it easy for them to even combat awakeners at a tier higher than themselves."

Ning Shi understood now. The transformation-type was a type with a huge difference in upper and lower limits. It valued talent and the choice of the transformation target very much.

"Of course," Wu Qihua continued, "The transformation-type has a fatal danger. It's easy to go insane."

"After transforming for a long time, it is easy to mistake yourself as your transformation target and lose yourself."

"The more targets you transform into, the stronger the target, and the more obvious the sense of loss will be."

Ning Shi thought of the violence and bloodthirst that rose from the bottom of his heart after he transformed into the Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus. It was indeed very easy to lose his mind.

Wu Qihua still wanted to say something, but he found that Tian Jun had already walked up to the podium.

"Principal Ning, the meeting is about to continue. We'll talk in detail later at the dinner."

"Alright, thank you, President Wu!"

Following that, the meeting carefully discussed a series of issues such as the scale of the competition, the schedule, the venue, the age of the participants, the competition system, and so on.

The principal representatives here were all strong people. Everyone debated fiercely, not only for the sake of the country and the overall situation, but also for the interests of their respective schools and students.

The meeting continued until 6:45 pm and they finally reached a consensus.

Seeing that everything was about to be settled, Ning Shi didn't speak the entire time.

"Principal Ning, do you have any objections to the timing of the competition?" Cai Peiyun kindly reminded him.

"No, this timing is not bad.

"After the campus competition, the students who perform well can also participate in training with the national team to prepare for the Global Young Awakeners Martial Arts Competition in January next year. It's quite good."

Cai Peiyun was worried that Ning Shi was young and ignorant, so he could only make things clear.

"Principal Ning, your school is a strength-type specialized school, and all the students are strength-type awakeners."

"The earlier the competition started, the greater the advantage of strength-type awakeners, and the better the results your students could get."

"The results of the students in the competition this time will affect the principal's evaluation."

Cai Peiyun was right. When students had just awakened, they were not familiar with the elemental and spiritual-type abilities, and it was easy for them to be defeated by strength-type awakeners with good physical fitness.

However, as time went on, the other types of awakeners who could use spiritual crystals to practice would gradually become familiar with and master their abilities, and the advantage of strength-type awakeners would become smaller and smaller.

Until they become disadvantaged.

Cai Peiyun said it so straightforwardly, obviously he was really thinking for Ning Shi. He thought that Ning Shi should express his opinion on the date of the competition and try to bring the time forward.

This was a normal request.

Ning Shi was confident in his students. With the extreme body forging method combined with the stamina potion, the cultivation effect was enough to shock everyone.

The later the competition, the stronger the students were, and the more exciting the competition would be. The powerful combat ability of the strength-type awakeners would leave a deeper impression.

Otherwise, if the competition was brought forward, both sides would be rookies. Even if the strength-type students won, it would not be a big deal.

To change the weak outlook of the strength-type awakeners, he would start with this competition.

"It's fine, Principal Cai. It's good like this. Thank you for your reminder! Shall we sit at the same table for the banquet later?"

"I can't ask for more. Principal Ning is so fair. You don't care about personal gains and losses. I'm impressed!"

Seeing that Cai Peiyun had misunderstood, Ning Shi did not explain much.

At seven o 'clock in the evening, led by the Exchange Bureau, all the principals attending the meeting held an exchange dinner in the elegant hall of the hotel.

At the banquet, Ning Shi, Cai Peiyun, and Wu Qihua were arranged to sit at the main table.

Minister Hu Changjun and the director of the Exchange Bureau, Tian Jun, personally accompanied them.

The atmosphere of the banquet was very lively.

Minister Hu had a military background and was very intense when it came to drinking. With the higher-up taking the lead, everyone at the main table drank a lot.

As they drank, Ning Shi also asked Wu Qihua about many details of the transformation-type awakeners.

Wu Qihua was in high spirits and answered Ning Shi's questions one by one.

Just before the event was over, Wu Qihua and Cai Peiyun finally revealed their fox tails.

"Principal Ning, I heard that your school has developed a drug that can restore physical strength and strengthen one's physique after consumption. I wonder if it's convenient for you to sell it?"

Only then did Ning Shi feel at ease. He had been puzzled before. Wu Qihua and Cai Peiyun could be said to be the top big shots among the principals, and the school they managed was also the best mixed school among the awakener schools.

Yet, with their high status, they were overly caring towards a young man like him. They even patiently explained some professional knowledge to him.

So it was for the stamina potion.

With the power of the two big shots, the stamina potion was definitely not for themselves. Everything they did was for the students.

The two principals' schools were mixed schools, so there must be strength-type students. Furthermore, non-strength-type students could also take the stamina potion. Any awakener would not refuse to enhance their physical fitness.

Ning Shi smiled. "To be honest, the stamina potion doesn't belong to the school. It was invented by a teacher in the school. The patent, production, and sales of the potion are all managed by that teacher."

"The potions must be given priority to the students of our school. I'll ask that teacher's opinion and see if we can sell it if we have enough production."

"It shouldn't be a big problem."

Since Hao Meng wasn't here, Ning Shi planned to ask Mo Yu. He really didn't pay attention to the production and cost of the stamina potion.

After receiving Ning Shi's reply, the two principals felt relieved that they had completed their task. They drank even more fiercely.

The table was filled with powerful extraordinary people, and they really drank alcohol as if it was water.

Ning Shi couldn't remember how much he had drunk. As the youngest principal, he was the focus of the main table and drank the most.

Even with Ning Shi's powerful physique, he still felt a little tipsy in the end.

Back at the hotel, Ning Shi didn't study his transformation ability anymore. Taking advantage of his tipsy state, he unloaded all kinds of burdens and thoughts. He relaxed and fell asleep.

Bei Shi Nation, underground research lab.

Hao Meng stared at the waving feelers of the bugs in front of her, constantly sensing them with her spiritual power.

The bugs crawled back and forth, shaking their bodies from time to time and shrieking.

"Human, woman, ugly, can't be bitten, scary."

"Hunger, weakness, restlessness."

This was the bugs' language and emotions that Hao Meng had perceived and analyzed.

She found that the bugs communicated with their feelers or body movements, combined with spiritual fluctuations and some calls. It was a relatively complicated system.

There was no fear in the emotions of these insects. They fought as a group, so they were not afraid of individual sacrifice.

After killing the bugs in front of her, Hao Meng actually began to pack up and organize her research tools.

Mo Yun looked at Hao Meng's actions in surprise.

"Director, are you packing up your equipment to leave?"

After staying in this dark place for four days, Mo Yun felt that her body was going to grow mold.

Hao Meng nodded and said, "Plans can't keep up with changes. The bugs we caught are all from the bottom of the insect world. Their intelligence level is not high. I have analyzed some of the language, but I still can't figure out the purpose of the swarm invading our world."

"The insect swarm didn't blindly attack any countries outside the Bei Shi Nation. They only sent out a small number of insects and flew around, as if they were trying to find out some information."

"The secret behind it is difficult to find out for the time being."

"Right now, the Fei Li Island is being attacked by the insects, and that place is closer to our country. I plan to return to my country first, and then do some research before heading back to the Fei Li Island to catch the insects."

Hearing this, Mo Yun was so happy that she almost jumped.

"Director, I'll help you pack the experimental equipment. Don't worry, I'm very professional."

Mo Yun and Hao Meng packed up all the equipment and put them into Mo Yun's dimensional space.

After everything was packed, Mo Yun suddenly said indignantly, "Director, are you going to share your research results with the research institute when you return to Yunmeng Kingdom this time? The officials are too unkind. They didn't even tell us that there was such a thing as the perfect awakening potion."

"We have contributed the production method of the awakening potion to the country, and this is the treatment we get in return?"

Hao Meng's eyes narrowed as she asked, "Perfect awakening potion?" What is the effect? Where did you get the information from?"

"The perfect awakening potion is a superior product randomly produced during the production process of ordinary awakening potions. After consumption, there is a 100% chance of becoming an awakener."

"Mo Yu learned this news from Ning Shi and Yun Moxiang's conversation."

Hao Meng's expression turned extremely cold when Mo Yun finished speaking.

The air around them suddenly became extremely thick.

Mo Yun felt as if she had fallen into the deep sea. It felt as if endless seawater and powerful water pressure pressed down on her from all directions.

She said with great difficulty, "No... Mo Yu did not monitor... Ning Shi."

With that, the viscous air disappeared, and the pressure receded like a tide.

Mo Yun took a few deep breaths and explained with a pale face.

"The consumption of stamina potions is relatively fast. Mo Yu was going to find Ning Shi to discuss increasing the production that night, and happened to overhear their conversation, so she heard the content."

"She definitely didn't monitor Ning Shi's actions."

Hao Meng's cold expression returned and she said to Mo Yun, "Tell Mo Yu to avoid Ning Shi's conversation next time. She must not eavesdrop."

Mo Yun once again felt Ning Shi's special place in Hao Meng's heart and quickly nodded.

"The perfect awakening potion was an accident," Hao Meng continued, "and the officials have no obligation to tell us.

"I've contributed the awakening potion to the government and received two S-rank spiritual crystals as a reward, as well as a 2% commission from selling it abroad."

"The deal has been made, and the subsequent matters have nothing to do with me."

"Don't forget where we came from. It's normal for the government to be on guard against us. Trust takes time to build."

"When I go back this time, I'll apply to Ning Shi to set up a new research room in the school and contribute the results of the stamina potion and insect language to the school's research laboratory."

"Everything will be under Ning Shi's control."

"Perhaps both sides will be more at ease if we cooperate with the government in the name of Ning Shi."

Mo Yun nodded and said to Hao Meng, "Director, Wu Yingxiong has sent news that the new world boundary discovered by the MieIn Federation is forming at a very fast speed, much faster than the insect world's world boundary."

"According to the internal staff's estimation, the boundary would be fully formed in one to two months and people would be able to pass through it without any obstacles."

"At that time, the MieIn Federation would send a diplomatic vanguard team to explore the new world."

"The MieIn Federation had reached an agreement on the exploration policy of the new world. Generally, they adopted the strategy of courtesy before violence and established a diplomatic policy of 'cultural recognition and win-win cooperation'."

"In order to prevent the emergence of extreme situations in the new world and the intervention of other countries in our world, the MieIn Federation had already deployed two ace military divisions at the bondary."

"It was said that the nuclear missiles were already in place."

"Wu Yingxiong is asking you if we should get involved in this matter."

Upon hearing this news, Hao Meng didn't hesitate.

"Allocate resources to Wu Yingxiong. We have to intervene. Tell him that the bottom line is to be able to obtain first-hand information about the new world at any time. The goal is for our people to be able to enter and explore the new world."

"This time, the study of the insect's language has given me a new perspective on the three disasters: the insect disaster, the beast disaster, and the spiritual disaster. If I'm not wrong, the exploration of a new world is the beginning of everything. It's extremely important!"

Mo Yun accepted the order and relayed it to Wu Yingxiong.

The MieIn Federation's national situation was different from Yunmeng Kingdom. In essence, the MieIn Federation was the product of the joint efforts of large capital and financial groups.

As long as they were willing to spend money, it should not be a problem to arrange for a few people to become members of the diplomatic vanguard team.

Hao Meng had been so focused on her research that she didn't even have time to deal with the affairs of the Heretic Research Institute.

Mo Yun then reported to Hao Meng what had happened in the past few days, picking out the main points. 𝑛𝗈𝐯𝚎𝓛𝓊𝗌𝑩.𝒞𝞸𝓂

Hao Meng made all the arrangements and instructions.

Then, Mo Yun opened a spatial door and walked in with Hao Meng.

After passing through several spatial gateways, they reappeared.

Hao Meng was already standing in the teacher's dormitory of Donglin City's First Strength Awakener School.

Report chapter Comments

When he woke up the next day, Ning Shi felt refreshed. It had been a long time since he had slept so soundly.

After finishing the hotel's breakfast buffet, Yun Moxiang rang the doorbell just as he returned to his room.

She was still in her uniform today, but she tied a knot at her waist under her shirt, revealing her slender, round, and small waist.

She had changed her pants into a short skirt, and her long legs were wrapped in black stockings.

Although she was in uniform for both days, yesterday, she looked suave, but today, she was a little sexy.

This time, it was a combination of stockings and uniforms.

There was no formal occasion today, so it was Yun Moxiang's freedom to dress however she wanted. Ning Shi admired her for a while and took the file Yun Moxiang handed over.

"Good Morning, Consultant Ning. This is the information you wanted about the insect swarm. Please take good care of it to prevent it from being leaked or lost."

Yun Moxiang didn't enter the room. After handing the information to Ning Shi, she continued, "I'm going to stay in Central City for a few days to settle some matters. When do you plan to return to Donglin City? I'll book the plane ticket for you."

Ning Shi shook his head, a hint of a smile flashing across the corner of his mouth.

"Thank you, but you don't have to book a ticket. I'll go back to Donglin city by myself after I'm done with some personal matters."

Hearing Ning Shi's words, Yun Moxiang no longer insisted and left, swaying her small waist.

Ning Shi walked into the room and carefully checked the official research information on insects.

After his conversation with Wu Qihua the day before and understanding the characteristics and situation of transformation-type awakeners, he had already decided who he wanted to transform into.

Bugs.

Some things might not be better the bigger they were.

Sometimes, being small was also a kind of beauty...

Ning Shi planned to find a type of flying insect as a transformation target. This way, not only could he fly, but he was also very concealed, and could even sneak into the insect world.

It was perfect.

After carefully reading through all the information on insects, Ning Shi found that the war insects were the most suitable for transformation.

The war insect looked like a mini flying sailfish. It had long spikes in its mouth, an oblate, streamlined body, and looked extremely muscular.

It had four pairs of wings on its back.

When they attacked, the war insects would flap their wings quickly and raise their speed to an insane level. Then, they would shoot towards the enemy like lightning.

Their sharp spikes were indestructible, and with their extremely fast speed, the war insects could instantly penetrate the enemy's body and leave tiny holes.

The government had captured a few of them alive for research and experiments.

Ning Shi looked at the measurements of the war insects and became more and more satisfied.

The war insect has a body length of 2 CM-5 cm, an average wing flapping frequency of 200 times per second, and a flight speed of up to 1000 km/h. It had excellent endurance and would only show signs of fatigue after flying at high speed for 12 hours.

Its body is extremely hard and can resist extreme physical and elemental damage. It can withstand 800 thousand volts of high-voltage direct current without being damaged. It can even endure smelting in the smelting furnace for 24 hours without any changes in its body.

The war insects were one of the trump card troops of the insect world, but their spiritual power was relatively weak.

In general, a Tier 7 spiritual-type awakener could deal with about 100 war insects if there were front row warriors covering for them.

The high-speed impact of the war insects had the effect of tearing space. Even if the body was elementalized, it would still be injured.

That was why the elemental and strength-type awakeners were helpless against the war insects.

According to the information, the war insects had only appeared twice in Yunmeng Kingdom's world boundary, and each time, they had caused a large number of casualties.

It was because of the appearance of the war insects that every border had to be guarded by at least one Tier 9 spiritual-type awakener.

Ning Shi looked at the pictures and videos of the war insects in detail and carefully observed the body of the war insects. Unfortunately, the war insects were too strong for the researchers to dissect and see the biological structure inside.

However, this was enough.

After becoming an awakener, Ning Shi's body had an additional special ability. With this special ability as a primer, he could absorb the energy of the spiritual crystal.

The strength-type's advantage was the physical body. Strength-type awakeners did not have this special ability, so they couldn't use spiritual crystals to cultivate.

Ning Shi directly took out the A-level spiritual crystal in his backpack and absorbed the energy inside.

In an instant, a bone-chilling aura flowed along Ning Shi's arm and spread to his whole body.

Ning Shi felt his body being torn apart by this aura. His whole body twitched involuntarily, and he instantly fell into extreme pain.

Stimulated by the energy, another spot of meat near his heart began to bulge and expand rapidly, slowly turning into a war insect.

Ning Shi's brain felt like a spinning top, spinning around with the rhythm of his heart beating. If felt like a heavy object was hitting his head again and again.

His brain had completely lost its normal senses. He could only feel that his body was like a liquid. It had become flat and could flow. It was even stretched into various shapes from time to time.

Ning Shi decisively stopped absorbing the energy.

He finally felt the pain of training as an awakener. It was a double torture to the body and the mind. If the elemental-type was to be trained by the relevant elements, it was true that a transformation-type awakener might go insane after training for a long time.

This was also because Ning Shi had absorbed an A-level spiritual crystal on his first cultivation, so he experience much more pain.

Just as Ning Shi was about to rest for a while before continuing his tormented cultivation, the game system gave him a hint.

[Do you want to use an A-level spiritual crystal to upgrade your transformation-type special ability to Tier 4? Yes, no. ]

Ning Shi was happy that it could still be like this. No one liked to be tortured in pain.

He directly clicked "Yes," and the A-level spiritual crystal in Ning Shi's hand slowly dissipated.

The energy filled his entire body, and after swimming around a few times, it all gathered in the depths of his heart.

There was an additional skill for his main body in the game's data.

[Transformation level 4, transformation target: 1. Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus, Duration: 10 minutes, High intensity combat duration: 2 minutes; 2. war insect, Duration: 30 hours. High-intensity combat duration: 6 hours.]

Ning Shi took out another A-level spiritual crystal and wanted to continue upgrading it, but he received a system hint.

[Absorbing too much energy in a short period of time is too much of a burden on your body. Please use it again after 24 hours.]

Even with the game system's optimization, the energy of the crystals would still cause a certain burden on the body.

Ning Shi readily accepted the advice and put the A-level spiritual crystal and all his personal belongings into his backpack, including his mobile phone.

He returned the room card at the front desk and checked out.

Then, he walked out of the hotel and found a corner with nobody around.

As his mind was immersed in the image of the war insect, the space twisted and blurred. Ning Shi's body disappeared on the spot, leaving only a 2cm long war insect dancing in the air.

Ning Shi sensed that while maintaining the transformation, the special ability energy in his body began to be consumed, but at a slower speed.

When the war insect flapped its wings and flew high, their energy consumption rate began to accelerate.

After transforming into a war insect, Ning Shi felt that he was free from the shackles of gravity and his body became extremely relaxed.

The vision of the insect was very magical, with 360 degrees. Ning Shi could see everything in front, back, left, right, and his dynamic vision was also very abnormal. Even if he was flying at high speed, he could see things very clearly.

Ning Shi was originally a little afraid of heights, but after turning into an insect, he had wings and could fly at any time. His fear of heights naturally disappeared.

Four pairs of wings flapped, and Ning Shi flew high into the sky. After identifying the direction of Donglin City, he directly accelerated and flew rapidly towards Donglin City.

He soared at great heights like a migratory goose.

Although he wasn't a goose, but an insect, the pleasure of flying was the same.

It was a feeling of freedom and carefreeness, free to fly in the sky!

After flying for close to three hours, Ning Shi arrived above the school and directly landed in the courtyard of his residence.

With no one around, he immediately canceled his transformation!

After turning back into his original form, Ning Shi jumped happily. He felt that he had chosen the right strategy to turn into an insect.

In the future, he could turn into a Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus and kill everything, and when he needed to retreat, he could turn into a war insect and escape.

After resting in his residence, Ning Shi thought of Wu Qihua and Cai Peiyun's request for the stamina potion, so he took out his mobile phone and called Mo Yu.

The call was connected. Before Ning Shi could speak, Mo Yu said, "Hao Meng has returned. You can look for her."

Her words were simple as usual. Ning Shi touched his nose, hung up the phone, and called Hao Meng again.

"Mengmeng, you've returned from the Bei Shi Nation?"

"Yes, Shitou. I just came back yesterday. I heard that you went to Central City for a meeting."

"Yes, the meeting is over. I just arrived in Donglin City. Do you have time to have tea in my office?"

"Yes, coincidentally I have something to talk to you about."

"Alright, see you in the office!"

Ning Shi closed the door and came to the office. He made tea.

Hao Meng came in.

Ever since she found out that Yun Moxiang was meeting Ning Shi in the middle of the night, Hao Meng had a sense of crisis in her heart. This time, she had put on light makeup.

Her round eyes looked bigger and brighter, and her face was fair and tender, as if water could be squeezed out.

She was wearing a white dress with a tight waist, which outlined her chunky assets. The fair skin on her chest dazzled people's eyes. Ning Shi didn't dare to look at her for too long and quickly invited Hao Meng to sit down.

After handing over a cup of tea, Ning Shi asked, "How was it? You didn't encounter any danger in the Bei Shi Nation this time, right? Did the research go smoothly?"

Hao Meng stretched out her small, fair hand and took a sip of tea. "The trip went quite smoothly this time. I mainly studied the language system of the bugs."

"I had originally planned to stay there for a while longer, but had to rush back because of the insect disaster in the Fei Li Island."

"According to my observation and research in the Bei Shi Nation, the insect world should have some kind of purpose for invading our world. The insect swarm is extremely organized." 𝑛𝚘𝗏𝖊𝔩𝗎𝗌𝗯.𝗰𝒪𝗆

"After taking over the Fei Li island country, they should not be spreading it out blindly."

"It's very likely that they'll use the Fei Li Island as their base and send out small swarms of bugs to scout for information. They seem to be looking for something."

Upon hearing this, Ning Shi's heart moved. The system had warned him that there might be hosts of origin treasures from other worlds who would come to Saturn World to seize Saturn's origin treasure.

Could it be that the insects had attacked Saturn to look for the origin treasure in his hands?

Seeing that Ning Shi didn't say anything, Hao Meng continued, "About ten days ago, a new world boundary appeared in the MieIn Federation. On the other side of the boundary was an unprecedented new world. In the new world, there are all kinds of species from western legends, such as human nobles, elves, dragons, dwarves, and gods."

Ning Shi's hand that was pouring tea for Hao Meng trembled, and the tea almost spilled.

He asked anxiously, "Is the source reliable?"

Hao Meng nodded. "The information is confirmed."

Ning Shi was both surprised and happy.

According to Hao Meng's description, the world boundary in the MieIn Federation should be connected to the World of Moen!

Report chapter Comments

Ning Shi knew that the world boundary connecting to the Moen World would definitely appear. This was because the ultimate mission issued by the game system required the main body to go to the Moen world to retrieve the avatar.

He just didn't expect it to appear in the Mieln Federation.

It might be more troublesome for his main body to enter the Moen world in the future. Fortunately, he could turn into an insect, which greatly increased the possibility of him sneaking into the Moen world successfully.

Hao Meng twirled the black hair on her temple and expressed her opinion to Ning Shi without reservation.

"Combined with the previous prophecy and information, the various phenomena after the insect disaster, as well as the abnormalities in the new boundary of the Mieln Federation, I have deduced a possibility."

"The insect world itself was a part of the Saturn World, but it was separated by the spatial wall."

"The so-called catastrophe was a means to promote the evolution of the species on Saturn. If humans survived the catastrophe, they would rise. If they couldn't, the insects would rise."

"There will always be one species that will represent Saturn and compete with the other worlds!"

After taking a sip of tea, Hao Meng continued.

"There are three main reasons for this speculation."

"First, the prophecy and information mentioned many times that 'the world will collapse from folds', indicating that there are still other dimensions in our world that have not been discovered."

"The 'Back-Pushing Sketch' said 'the insects and snakes will rise again in the myriad world'. Note that it's 'rise again', which means that the insect disaster has existed on Saturn before, and this time it's just another similar event."

"The 'Song of a Ten Thousand Years' described it this way: 'Thousands of waves in myriad world attract insects, beasts, and spiritual bugs'. It was the myriad world that attracted the insect disaster, beast disaster, and spiritual disaster, but the insect disaster was not included in the myriad world."

"Secondly, after the insect disaster, although there were some casualties and sacrifices, the overall evolution speed had indeed accelerated."

"The insect disaster not only forced us to become stronger, but the appearance of the insect swarm also provided a large number of evolution resources, such as the awakening potion. Without the insect disaster, there would not be these things."

"Was it really such a coincidence that there was a substance in the insect's body that could promote human awakening?"

"Thirdly, which is also the latest clue that prompted me to come up with this speculation, is that the new world boundary in the Mieln Federation is too abnormal."

"The newly formed border was extremely dangerous and impassable."

"Just last year, when the insect race first appeared in the Black Bear Country, the nature of the battle race showed itself. They had sent three regiments of nearly 5000 people to enter the border that had yet to form."

"In the end, the entire army was annihilated, and no one managed to pass through."

"As for the Mieln Federation, they only sent a suicide squad of a few hundred people, and three of them successfully passed through the checkpoint. It was not a one-way pass, but a round trip. This data was very unusual."

"Just yesterday, I found out that the new world boundary only needs a month to form, which is much shorter than the regular 3-6 months for the insect world's boundary."

"The new world boundary was connected to a whole new world."

"From this, I can deduce that the border in the Mieln Federation might not be a border but should be called the gate to the other world, or a passage."

"The world behind it is the real beginning of the myriad world, and our battle with the insect world is just an internal war on Saturn."

"This also explains why the swarm doesn't blindly attack and destroy all matter but instead recuperates after conquering a territory. It's because they want the whole world!"

Was this humanity's smartest brain?

Just based on the abnormality in the new boundary of the Mieln Federation, she had connected so many clues and made a shocking deduction.

Although it was absurd, it seemed reasonable.

Ning Shi took a sip of tea to hide his shock and asked slowly.

"Your deduction sounds reasonable, but how do we find evidence to prove this conjecture?"

The corner of Hao Meng's mouth curved up into a beautiful arc as she said with a smile.

"A deduction only gives us a direction to think about. It's very likely to be wrong."

"If I have to prove it, we would have to wait until the exploration of the new world began."

"According to my guess, if our world has a disaster to promote the evolution and rise of mankind, then the new world, our competitor, should also have a disaster to promote the rise of mankind."

"When the exploration of the new world begins, we can pay attention to the relevant information. If the new world does have a catastrophe, this catastrophe will also promote the humans or races there to become stronger."

"In that case, there's an 80% chance that my speculation is true."

As soon as Hao Meng said this, Ning Shi immediately thought of the situation in the Moen world, the catastrophe of the Battle of the Gods, and the future catastrophe of the super magical beasts according to the guidance of fate.

These calamities and tribulations would eventually lead to the fruit of fate, the rise of humanity.

It was exactly as Hao Meng had guessed!

Ning Shi stared at Hao Meng's head, making her lower her head shyly.

They were both humans, but why was there such a huge difference in their intelligence?

Ning Shi even had a strange thought in his heart. Perhaps the reason why the origin treasure chose him as its host was not because he was the fastest man on Saturn.

"Maybe it's because I know Hao Meng? Hao Meng is like Lena, the one with the mandate of Saturn."

Then, he felt that something was wrong. If that was the case, why didn't the origin treasure just choose Hao Meng as its host?

Ning Shi felt that he shouldn't be bothered by this. Anyway, the origin treasure was his now, and it was fine as long as the result was good.

Ning Shi's thoughts were wandering, and he didn't realize that he had been staring at Hao Meng for almost a minute.

Hao Meng felt as if her heart was about to jump into her throat. Her cheeks and ears were red, and her hands were holding onto her skirt nervously.

"Brother Shitou isn't planning to confess to me, is he? I can't refuse at all, but my identity..."

Ning Shi retracted his thoughts upon realizing his own abruptness. He immediately changed the topic. 𝓝𝔬𝓋𝑒𝓁𝓊𝕊𝒷.𝕔𝐎𝓂

"Mengmeng, you made me realize that there's a huge difference between people. I can only admire your brain!"

"According to your speculations, in the future, there will be a war between the various worlds. The so-called catastrophe should be the internal tide of evolution that each world is undergoing in order to fight."

"According to this theory, our first goal should be to defeat the insects and use their resources to strengthen ourselves."

Hearing Ning Shi went back to the point, Hao Meng heaved a sigh of relief but was also a little disappointed. She sorted out her emotions and said.

"That's right. If I'm right, there will be more and more boundaries from the insect world in the future. When the number of world boundaries reaches a limit, they'll touch a node on the spatial barrier."

"In the end, all the world boundaries will disappear, and the spatial barrier will also disappear. The insect world will be completely integrated with us. As for how the subsequent beast and spiriual disasters will develop, there is too little information available to speculate."

"In fact, with the overall strength of our human race, it's not difficult to defeat the insects. The insects are strong because of their absolute advantage in numbers."

"If the top human powerhouses joined forces and broke into the insect world to execute the decapitation strategy, we might be able to take down the leader of the insect swarm."

"However, with Saturn's current situation, it was difficult for humans to unite. Also, we don't have enough understanding of insects. We need to do more research."

Hao Meng looked up at Ning Shi and said, "I want to set up a top-notch research lab in the school, mainly responsible for studying the insects' civilization and characteristics, as well as the production and sales of products brought by research and development, such as stamina potions and so on."

"The initial plan is for three parties to hold the shares. The school, me, and you."

"The school will represent the government, I will provide the technology, and brother Shitou, as the principal and the leader, you will also have to take a part of the shares. The share ratio can be negotiated."

Ning Shi didn't know Hao Meng's identity. He only thought that Hao Meng was giving him money and resources out of friendship. He didn't want to accept it, but he was worried that rejection would hurt Hao Meng.

He also wanted to build a research lab for the school, which was good for the long-term development of the school.

"How much investment does the research lab need in the early stage?"

"I have most of the research equipment," Hao Meng said, "I just need to add a small amount of equipment and hire relevant researchers at a high salary."

"The initial investment is estimated to be about 100 million."

Ning Shi nodded and gave Hu Changjun a call, telling him about Hao Meng's thoughts.

Hu Changjun had long known about the stamina potion, and he was eager for Ning Shi to expand the production. He thought for a moment and said readily.

"I support the construction of the research lab. Funding is not a problem. The school will take 40% of the shares, and you and Hao Meng will each take 30%."

Ning Shi was very surprised by Hu Changjun's words. He had thought that the government would occupy 51% of the shares and have actual control of the research room. He didn't expect that they would only occupy 40% of the shares.

However, he was not satisfied with the share arrangement.

"Chief Hu, Hao Meng has both the technology and the equipment. Just her equipment alone is worth several times more than our investment. She only has 30% of the shares, that's too little."

"I'll only take a symbolic share of the lab."

"Hahaha!"

Hu Changjun's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone. He knew Hao Meng's true identity, and he could guess her motive.

It seemed that even a beauty had a weakness for the charms of a hero.

He had always been wavering with the organization on how to treat Hao Meng. Now, he had a wonderful idea.

If Hao Meng ended up with Ning Shi, she would have a family, and any potential threats from her would be greatly reduced.

"If your share is too low, Hao Meng will not agree."

"Think about it, she was a girl who had invested money and manpower in your school to help you build a research lab. Don't you understand such a straightforward motive?"

"If you don't get a certain amount of shares, this research lab won't be built."

These words made Ning Shi speechless, his face and ears turned red.

Ning Shi wasn't a fool. He could naturally see Hao Meng's feelings for him. Ning Shi also liked such a smart and beautiful woman.

Especially since they were once classmates and had common memories and topics.

However, after knowing that the Moen world really existed, Lena was a problem that he couldn't get around.

Ning Shi had not thought of how to deal with this relationship, so he could only turn a blind eye.

Now, however, Hu Changjun had pointed it out and since Ning Shi didn't leave the room to make the call, Hao Meng heard Hu Changjun's words clearly.

The office was filled with an awkward atmosphere. Hao Meng was waiting for Ning Shi's response.

Ning Shi didn't dare to move.

Hu Changjun continued, "If you don't say anything, the share ratio will be set. The school will help you pay for your investment. It just so happens that you contributed the original version of the extreme body forging method. The official reward is still being discussed."

"This sum of money would also be included in the reward."

"Xiao Ning, starting a family is the most important thing for a man. Don't miss out on a good girl, all the best!"

"If you have any problems, you can look for me. I will use all my resources to cover you!"

This, again, was heard by Hao Meng, who was on the sofa. She had already lowered her head, keeping quiet.

Ning Shi hung up the phone decisively. Why did he feel that the country was helping him find a partner?

After some thought, Ning Shi decided to be a man and tell Hao Meng that he already had a girlfriend.

95 True Nature

Putting away his phone, Ning Shi glanced at Hao Meng and said directly.

"Mengmeng, I have a piece of news that I haven't told you. I already have a girlfriend and we are in a very stable relationship."

Ning Shi was calm as he explained. He thought of Lena's warm and sunny smile and looked at Hao Meng's teary red eyes. He continued.

"The last time I went on a blind date, I was still single. It was just that fate brought us together, and we quickly developed a relationship."

"I have to make it clear to you, or else you will be wasting your youth and love on me."

Hao Meng, who had always been able to accurately control her mind and simulate various personality modes, could not suppress her sadness after hearing this.

Her heart ached involuntarily, and tears flowed out.

Bean-sized tears rolled down her snow-white cheeks.

She took the tissue from Ning Shi and kept telling herself in her heart.

"Don't cry, Hao Meng. You can't cry. Didn't you plan this all along?"

Her tears, however, seemed to burst out like a broken dam.

In the end, she couldn't help it.

"Brother Shitou, shoulder... Hmph... Let me lean on you for a moment."

Without waiting for Ning Shi's reply, Hao Meng leaned her head on Ning Shi's shoulder and started sobbing.

Her tears quickly soaked Ning Shi's clothes.

When his shoulder touched Hao Meng's cold tears, Ning Shi also felt a wave of sadness.

He began to reflect on whether telling Hao Meng that he had a girlfriend was the right thing to do.

Then, he numbly consoled herself that it was all for Hao Meng's own good.

Hao Meng cried for a long time and finally fell asleep on Ning Shi's shoulder.

Ning Shi was afraid of waking her up, so he stiffened and didn't dare to move.

He could clearly feel Hao Meng's even breathing beside his ear.

After Hao Meng fell asleep, she laid softly on Ning Shi's body. Ning Shi pulled her into an embrace, then he sniffed the faint fragrance of her body and began to ask himself.

"If Hao Meng married another man, would I be able to take it?"

Just thinking about this scene made Ning Shi murderous.

It didn't matter if he was a bastard or a scumbag, Ning Shi was now facing himself honestly and seeing his own heart.

It seemed that he liked both Lena and Hao Meng.

"I'm now the owner of the origin treasure. If I can survive to the end, I'll definitely be the final winner in the world war." 𝑛𝗈𝐯𝚎𝓛𝓊𝗌𝑩.𝒞𝞸𝓂

"By then, I would be invincible, so what if I found a few more women?"

"I would die eventually, be it in the process of fighting or something else. I didn't need to care about the eyes and opinions of the secular world."

"As a human, I should be more proactive and take the initiative to fight for what I want."

Understanding this, Ning Shi reached out his hands and hugged Hao Meng's body, letting her sleep more comfortably.

Hao Meng turned around and curled up in Ning Shi's arms. She didn't wake up and continued to sleep.

However, the corners of her mouth seemed to curl up, as if she was smiling.

Hao Meng only woke up after three hours of sleep.

Her eyes were still red and swollen from crying. After she found herself lying in Ning Shi's arms, she shook her head like a kitten, as if she was acting coquettishly.

Ning Shi was charmed by her cuteness and wanted to touch her hair, but Hao Meng quickly stood up and stretched lazily.

"Thank you, brother Shitou. Thank you for being honest with me."

"I've been living abroad all these years. I'm really tired and stressed. Every night, I would hypnotize myself to sleep, like a robot."

"When I leaned on your shoulder just now, I felt an unprecedented sense of security and found the sleep that I had lost for a long time. I slept naturally and peacefully. It was so comfortable."

From the very beginning, Hao Meng had been very self-abased by her identity as the director of the Heretic Research Institute. She was worried that her identity as the leader of a cult would affect Ning Shi's life.

Her original plan was to stay by Ning Shi's side, not necessarily pursuing any results.

However, when Ning Shi said he had a girlfriend, Hao Meng still felt sad and miserable from the bottom of her heart.

This emotion was vented through crying, and it allowed her to relax the tension that had been building up after a long struggle.

So she fell asleep on Ning Shi's shoulder.

"Brother Shitou, with the earlier discussion, the matter regarding the research room is settled,"

Hao Meng took out a stack of documents from her handbag and handed them to Ning Shi.

"This is what I studied. It's about the insect's language. If you're interested, you can take a look. The insect's language and behavior are very interesting."

Although Ning Shi had thought it through and didn't want to let go of Hao Meng, he didn't know what to say when he saw Hao Meng return to normal.

After all, he wasn't born to be a saint of love like His Highness Duan.

Ning Shi took the report and said dryly.

"I'm now very interested in everything about the insects."

Despite crying in front of Ning Shi, Hao Meng was the one who regained her calm faster and stood up.

"Then I'll get going. Brother Shitou, your embrace is very warm."

"Now that you can't be my lover, it will be my loss to help you build the research lab in school."

"How about this, I'll use your embrace as a condition for me to establish the research lab. I want to have the right to hug you at any time in the future."

Since Hao Meng had said so, Ning Shi's expression brightened and he spoke with a strong sense of righteousness.

"It doesn't matter. For the promotion of the stamina potion, for the welfare of the entire school's teachers and students, and for the improvement of the nation's strength, I can only offer my body."

"Teacher Hao Meng, as long as you're willing to build a laboratory, I can pay you with my body!"

Hao Meng burst out laughing. "That's a deal!"

Then, she picked up her handbag and walked out of the office.

Looking at the time, it was already past two in the afternoon. The school cafeteria was closed. Ning Shi called his parents and asked where they were.

Only then did he realize that it was Sunday, and both his parents had the day off.

Ning Shi drove home.

He hadn't been back for a while, and the house was even more chaotic than before.

The living room was filled with all kinds of gifts, white wine, cigarettes, and all kinds of boxes containing dried food.

Ning Shi complained, "Mom, you should hire a caretaker. The cleaning lady, who cleans once a week, isn't enough for you two."

"Why are there so many things on the ground? Did your company change to selling cigarettes, wine, and miscellaneous stuff?"

Seeing that her son had returned, Wang Yan, who was watching a short video in her room, came out with a face mask on.

"It's not easy to hire a caretaker now. Not only is it expensive, but I'm also worried. The current cleaning lady is quite good."

"Now that the business is not doing well, my small company can't make any money at all and is about to close down. Now we are relying on your dad's income."

"You haven't even bought your wedding house yet, and we also need to save money for our retirement."

"Let me tell you, son. Although you're a principal and a big shot now, you must still be thrifty, understand? By the way, where's your girlfriend from the blind date last time? Why didn't you bring her back?"

"You should marry early and have children early. While I'm still young, I can help you..."

Seeing that his mother was about to enter an endless nagging mode again, Ning Shi quickly interrupted.

"Where's dad? Where did all these gifts come from?"

"Your dad just came back from badminton and is taking a shower."

"The gifts on the floor were all from others."

"After you became the principal, there were always people sending gifts to our family. Your dad and I politely rejected those who were unfamiliar with us or had ulterior motives."

"These are gifts from acquaintances and some government leaders. We can't refuse them."

Speaking of this topic, Wang Yan's face was full of pride.

"As expected of my precious son, you've really grown up this time. Do you know that even the leaders of Donglin City came to visit us and asked if we had any needs?"

"Your dad doesn't have any social connections, and the position of Deputy President is his limit. Thanks to you, he's about to be transferred to a branch to be a department leader."

"I'm telling you, there are a bunch of people looking for me every day, recommending girls to me. They all have good looks and family backgrounds, so you have to hurry."

"If you don't get along with the girl from the last blind date, inform me earlier."

"Now that you have a successful career, it's time for you to get married and have children..."

Realizing the conversation was heading in that direction again, Ning Shi, who had been sitting on the sofa, immediately got up.

"Mom, I'm thirsty. I'm going to get a glass of water."

Ning Shi poured a glass of water and took two sips, just in time for his father to come out of the shower.

He took out two bottles of the perfect awakening potion from his backpack and said to his parents.

"Dad, mom, these two bottles are the perfect awakening potion awarded to me by the country. After taking them, one will definitely become an awakener. Here, take them. After you become an awakener, your body will become healthier."

Hearing Ning Shi's words, his mother's eyes brightened. She quickly tore off the facial mask and took a bottle of the potion to have a look.

"This is no different from the potion we drank before. Is it really that effective?"

His father, Ning Tao, was much more straightforward. He picked up the potion and said.

"Wang Yan, do you think your son will harm you? The level of connection your son has is different from ours. Now it's our turn to listen to his commands!"

After saying that, he opened the bottle and drank it.

His mother, Wang Yan, who was not to be outdone, also took the potion.

Not long after, the two of them had flushed faces as if they were drunk.

There were no safety hazards in taking the awakening potion, so Ning Shi did not keep an eye on them. Instead, he returned to his room.

This was because his phone screen had lit up when he had just touched the perfect drug.

[Another reminder: the host can consume a second bottle of the perfect awakening potion and attempt a second awakening.]

Seeing this notification, Ning Shi was excited. He took out a bottle of the perfect awakening potion from his backpack and drank it.

[The host has consumed the second bottle of perfect awakening potion... Insufficient stimulation failed to awaken.]

Not stimulating enough?

Ning Shi took out the last bottle of the perfect awakening potion and drank it.

96 Key Information

[The host has consumed the third bottle of the perfect awakening potion. According to the analysis of the host's physical fitness, the following abilities can be awakened. Please choose…]

[Strength-type: 90% compatibility]

[Elemental-type, Lightning: 75% compatibility, Spatial: 50% compatibility, Fire: 27% compatibility]

[Transformation-type, already in possession, second awakening has no enhancement effect, not recommended choosing again]

!!

[Spiritual-type: 63% compatibility]

[Summoner-type: 64% compatibility]

[Enabling-type: 33% compatibility]

[The compatibility is related to the efficiency and upper limit of the host's cultivation. Please choose carefully.]

Ning Shi already had the power of lightning, so he did not want to choose the lightning-type special ability. Since the other attributes were not that compatible with him, he decided to choose the strength-type this time.

Compared to transformation, Ning Shi preferred to prove his capability with strength.

Previously, Ning Shi could not give up on the transformation-type as his compatibility with the attribute was too high, reaching 99%.

Now, he could finally become a true strength-type awakener!

After choosing the strength-type, a familiar feeling of obtaining a special ability appeared in Ning Shi's body again.

However, unlike the transformation-type, this time the feeling did not accumulate in his heart.

Instead, it spread to all parts of his body.

His body was slowly absorbing this special ability. As the feeling of special ability gradually decreased, Ning Shi's body's strength gradually increased.

Those who were talented in the strength-type would not only produce more power when they awakened, but their bodies would also absorb the special ability much faster.

It was no wonder that the strongest strength-type awakener was only at Tier 3. The total amount of abilities produced after awakening was only enough to support a strength-type awakener to reach Tier 3.

After becoming a strength-type awakener, Ning Shi felt the greatness of Hao Meng's invention of the stamina potion.

This was a great invention that was not inferior to the awakening potion.

Compared to the path of the extreme body forging method, the stamina potion was the true solution for a strength-type awakener to become stronger.

With the stamina potion, strength-type awakeners could continue to absorb the energy of spiritual crystals after their bodies had finished absorbing the special abilities.

After feeling the changes for a while, Ning Shi felt that his strength was slowly increasing.

As a Tier 1 strength-type awakener, the increase in strength had little effect on Ning Shi at the moment. However, once he reached a higher tier, the effect would be completely different!

There were no strength-type powerhouses at the overload realm yet. Hu Changjun was right, the strength-type was a blue ocean that no one was interested in.

He decided to set a small goal first, which was to become the first strength-type to reach the overload realm on Saturn!

Five bottles of the awakening potion had been used up. Ning Shi had originally planned to save one for his good friend, Yang Wenzhi, but now he could only think about the gift later.

If Yang Wenzhi failed to awaken his power even after taking the ordinary medicine ten times, he would think of another way.

Opening the door, his parents, who saw Ning Shi come out, began to perform an act.

They stared at each other.

"Ning Tao, you've become more handsome. You look so energetic!"

"Wang Yan, you're just as beautiful as you were when you were young. Your skin is so smooth and you barely have much wrinkles."

"You're such a tease, Ning Tao. Our genes are so good. Since our son doesn't want to get married and have children, why don't we have another child of our own?"

They were really a pair of funny parents.

Ning Shi noticed that his father's white hair had turned black, and the wrinkles under his mother's eyes had decreased. His parents were healthy and full of energy.

Ning Shi was very happy. It was a great blessing to be able to repay his parents for raising him.

After the short performance, the three of them chatted and shared their recent situation.

They were all happy events.

His parents were not good at cooking. In the evening, Ning Shi had dinner with his parents in the restaurant below their house and drove back to school.

On the field of the new garden, his three disciples were still doing their rounds of extreme body forging method.

The two teachers, Li Daqiang and Duan Qixun, were cultivating with them at the side.

Ning Shi did not disturb them. He waited quietly for them to finish their cultivation before approaching.

"Principal Ning, since you're back, Master Duan and I will take our leave first."

In the traditional martial arts world, no one was allowed to watch a master teach his disciple. Thus, Li Daqiang and the other man were prepared to leave the moment he returned.

Ning Shi cupped his hands as he said, "Thank you for your help, Masters. I may have to go out in the next two days, at that time, I may have to trouble you two again."

"It's fine, Principal Ning. If you need anything, just let me know. I, Duan Qixun, will definitely help you!"

"Many thanks!"

After the two masters had gone far, Ning Shi looked at his three disciples and said.

"I went to the Central City to participate in a meeting with the principals of the awakener schools. The main content of the meeting was about the Campus Awakeners' Competition."

Ning Shi told his three disciples about the National Awakening competition, the campus competition, and the Global Young Awakeners Martial Arts Competition.

"From now on, all of you must be clear about your goals. You must achieve good results in the Campus Awakeners' Competition, enter the national team, and defeat those foreigners in the global competition!" 𝒩𝑂𝔳𝔢𝓁𝒰𝑠𝒷.𝓬𝞸𝓜

"We must show our strength and courage to fight for the honor and interests of our country and people!"

His words made his three disciples, who were originally exhausted, inflamed with passion.

[Luo Yao: Go go go! Let's destroy everything and let the world see the power of the girl with monstrous strength! If I win the global competition, mom and dad will be very happy in the heavens! Master will also be very happy!]

...

[Jiang Bichao: The campus competition, the global competition! This is the best stage for me to make a name for myself. I have to work harder to cultivate. First, I will have to win the championship of the campus competition, and then I would make a name for myself on the world stage. In the future, I would definitely surpass Jiang Yunsheng!]

[Senior Sister Luo Yao is too strong. So far, I still can't defeat her. Hence, defeating Senior Sister Luo will be my current goal!]

[Zong Shangren: The campus competition and the global competition are really interesting. Just thinking about it makes me excited. Oh no…Now that there is a goal, master will definitely be stricter and harsher on us…]

Ning Shi checked his disciples' inner voice. They were generally positive.

He continued, "I'm good at three skills. They are Bajiquan, Cloud Shadow Steps, and sword techniques. Now that your Bajiquan has reached a higher level, it is enough for your footwork."

"No matter if it's the national competition, the campus competition, or the global competition, there will be no restrictions on the use of cold weapons. So, I will focus on teaching you sword techniques."

"How much you can learn will depend on you!"

[Do you wish to spend 100 reputation points to teach Luo Yao basic swordsmanship LV1? Yes or no?]

[Do you wish to spend 50 reputation points to upgrade Luo Yao's basic swordsmanship LV2? Yes or no?]

[Do you wish to spend 50 reputation points to upgrade Luo Yao's basic swordsmanship LV3? Yes or no?]

[Do you wish to spend 100 reputation points to upgrade Luo Yao's basic swordsmanship LV4? Yes or no?]

...

[Do you wish to spend 100 reputation points to upgrade Luo Yao's basic swordsmanship LV5? Yes or no?]

…

Without any hesitation, Ning Shi used 1200 reputation points to upgrade the basic swordsmanship of his three disciples to LV 5.

Upon hearing Ning Shi's words, Luo Yao became shy while Jiang Bichao had a newfound respect for him.

Meanwhile, Zong Shangren quivered fiercely.

The three of them were either looking forward to the training or afraid. They all knew that their dreams for the night would be very long.

After teaching his disciples, Ning Shi returned to his residence. Although it was already past 10 o'clock at night, he was still itching to enter the game.

As usual, he checked the system's log.

He had not entered the game for three days, and his avatar had done a lot of things.

The first was cultivation.

[Avatar had practiced advanced Bloodline Guidance Technique for 3 hours. He had some enlightenment, hence Bloodline Guidance Tecnique had been upgraded to LV 0 (uninitiated) (10/200).]

[Avatar had practiced advanced Bloodline Guidance Technique for 8 hours. His understanding had deepened. Bloodline Guidance Tecnique had been upgraded to LV 0 (uninitiated) (40/200).]

[With Lena's guidance, the avatar had practiced advanced Bloodline Guidance Technique for two hours. An epiphany had been triggered, and Bloodline Guidance Technique had been upgraded to LV 0 (uninitiated) (190/200).]

[Avatar had practiced advanced Bloodline Guidance Technique for 2 hours. The level of Bloodline Guidance Technique had been increased to LV 1 (initiated) (0/400).]

[Bloodline Guidance Technique: LV 1. One can gain experience points by cultivating it at a rate of 10000 experience points per hour ]

[Avatar had cultivated Bloodline Guidance Technique for 8 hours. Experience 80000. Bloodline Guidance Technique increased to LV1 (80/400)]

When Ning Shi took over the avatar, the avatar was cultivating in the City Lord's mansion's training room.

With the memory transfer and physical instinct of the avatar's cultivation, Ning Shi instantly understood the cultivation method of the Bloodline Guidance Technique.

It was mainly used with a special medicine to speed up the blood flow in the body. During the high-speed flow, the shackles and nodes of the blood vessels would be broken through, and the impurities in the blood vessels would be eliminated.

He would gradually purify his bloodline, and when it was purified to a certain extent, he would use potions and secret channeling techniques to level up his bloodline.

Then, he would repeat the previous process.

It was easy to say, but it was difficult and boring to cultivate.

Ning Shi practiced for a while before chosing to let the system autoplay.

He continued to check the log.

[Avatar received the envoy of the Elven Empire, Olicia. Olicia proposed a deal. As long as the avatar was willing to hand over the remnants of the Star Elves, the Elven Empire was willing to help Duohuang establish a dukedom.]

[Avatar rejected Olicia's deal. Snow Fog was very touched. Character intimacy 2. Current character intimacy level: 99.]

Snow Fog's intimacy reached its peak. Ning Shi was helpless. He hadn't even figured out what he should do about Hao Meng and Lena, and now there was another Snow Fog.

What happened next filled Ning Shi with surprise.

[Avatar has taken control of the envoy of the Elven Empire, Olicia, and has made her his servant. ]

[Avatar received the envoy of the Ole Empire, Jeremy, and politely declined the title of Marquis offered by the Ole Empire.]

[Avatar has taken control of Jeremy, the envoy of the Ole Empire, and has made Jeremy his servant. ]

[The 29th King of the Brad Empire, Casey Ryan, attempted to assassinate the avatar. The avatar lured him out of the city and engaged him in a great battle.]

[Avatar has defeated Casey Ryan and contracted Casey as a servant.]

[Avatar learned some information about the Mountain Cluster Palace, Joseba, and the origin treasure of the World of Moen from Casey.]

Seeing this, Ning Shi immediately entered the first-person perspective and checked the avatar's memory.

He understood that the Mountain Cluster Palace was formed by the past Kings, knights, and experts of the royal family of the Boulade Empire. It was the foundation of the Brad Empire.

Joseba was the current leader of the Mountain Cluster Palace, and he was currently developing new weapons.

"I guess they are the magic core cannons and the magic core fighter planes!"

As Ning Shi was thinking, he saw the information about the origin treasure that he was most concerned about.

"The Mountain Cluster Palace actually knows the exact location of the Moen World's origin treasure! Unfortunately, Casey's position in the Mountain Cluster Palace was not high, so he did not know the specific situation."

"This is an unexpected gain."

Casey was still in Duohuang city and had not left yet. He was secretly arranged by Ning Shi to stay in the courtyard of the City Lord's mansion temporarily.

Ning Shi hurriedly ended his cultivation and walked out of the training room.

He wanted to talk to Casey face to face.
