Chapter 493 Promotion and Declaration of War (1)
Western Region Thunderball? Such a thing actually existed!
Looking at the explosion in the field, many martial artists exclaimed in fright.
Most of them had only heard of this, but such an item was not something ordinary people could obtain.
As for these few people, they rushed forward and perished together, not caring about their lives at all. Clearly, they were death warriors. Now that the dust had settled, there seemed to be no need for the people in the martial world to deal with Chen Feng like this. The origins of these few people were obvious…
It was most likely someone from the Imperial Court!
On the other side, the dejected survivors of the various sects widened their eyes in excitement. There was only one word that could describe their excitement — When one was stranded without any roads to follow, at their darkest hour, a ray of light appeared to guide them!
Blow him up!
Countless people shouted in their hearts.
However, in front of everyone, a large hand reached out of the thick grayish-black smoke and waved.
…..Swoosh!
The smoke screen parted, and Zhou Jing's muscular figure walked out. Other than his clothes being a little tattered and his skin a little dark, he was not injured at all.
As for the few death warriors who went up to perish together, they were all charred corpses.
“Even that didn't kill him?!”
Seeing this scene, everyone's hearts trembled.
It was as though they were looking up towards a mountain in awe!
At this moment, everyone present did not even have the slightest mentality to resist. The surviving experts of the various sects were all dejected.
The remaining death warriors hidden in the crowd secretly gasped in disbelief.
They had tested the power of the Thunderball. No matter how powerful an expert was, it was impossible for them to retreat unscathed after being blasted. They originally thought that the success rate of this plan was quite high. At the very least, they could severely injure Chen Feng Unexpectedly, this person's body could actually withstand the power of the lightning and fire!
The same thought appeared in everyone's minds at this moment,
“How can we, ordinary people, fight against such a monster?!”
“Hmph, just a small trick!”
Zhou Jing patted the dust off his chest and looked around at the crowd with a burning gaze. Those whom his gaze swept by lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.
When a few death warriors came out to surrender, he felt that it was a little strange and was secretly on guard. However, he did not expect this group of people to use firearms.
In the information of the Exploration Bureau, there was no mention of this world developing to the firearms stage. Either it had developed in the past 200 years, or the last time an Explorer traveled, he happened to leave some technical knowledge in this plane.
If it was a mature firearm, it would still be a threat to him. However, the technology for the Thunderball was crude and its power was limited. So long as he circulated his Martial Path Aura to protect himself, he would be unscathed. Even if he had to really use his physical body to withstand it, it would not be a problem.
Every time he leveled up through the support function (Character Level System), the additional attributes he obtained would be thrown to his resistance. It was not for nothing that he became an unkillable tank.
Zhou Jing could roughly guess the background of these people. They were most likely related to the Imperial Court. Previously, they had fanned the flames in the crowd, and now, they were deliberately harming him.
The Imperial Court had wanted his life for a long time. Coincidentally, the Martial Arts Conference presented a good opportunity, so they naturally would not let it go. There must be some accomplices hiding in the crowd now, but it would be difficult to find them. Even if they were found, it would probably be useless. They were all a group of death warriors who did not care about their lives.
Zhou Jing thought for a moment and decided not to waste this effort. He directly wrote this debt on the Great Xia Imperial Court's books. In any case, it must have been instructed by the Imperial Court to do so.
He turned around and searched the corpses of the death warriors. Soon, he found a few similar tokens that seemed to be identity symbols.
Zhou Jing asked a few captured experts before finding out that these were the Martial Inspectorate's waist tags.
“Hmph, as expected, it's indeed a pet dog of the Imperial Court. Those hiding, help me send a message to your master. No matter if you poison or ambush, Grandpa's life is here. Come and get it if you have the ability!”
Zhou Jing looked at the crowd and directly addressed the other death warriors of the Imperial Court who were hiding.
With that, he ignored the surrounding martial artists and called for his lackeys to capture the experts of the various sects and escort them down the mountain.
In order not to let anyone hate the Wu Mountain Sect, he simply treated everyone equally. He also got someone to kidnap Lin Song and the others and bring them back as well.
As someone who had entered the “lion's den” for the second time, Lin Song was quite calm. He even felt an inexplicable sense of nostalgia.
He had been captured again…
He was not afraid that he would suffer. Just now, he had taken the initiative to persuade the various sects and had already secretly expressed his intentions to Chen Feng. He was only putting on an act this time.
Not long after, Zhou Jing led this group down the mountain.
Seeing this, the rest of the martial artists did not stay any longer and dispersed. They could not wait to spread what had happened here to the martial world.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the people from the Martial Inspectorate suppressed their shock and quietly retreated to report the situation.
On the other hand, Zhou Jing and the others went down Mount Yunxia and quickly rushed to a nearby river with the captives.
Fang Zhen and the other leaders had led a navy to receive them. The two sides quickly gathered and rushed to their stronghold by water.
“Brother, it seems that you've gained a lot from this trip.”
Fang Zhen looked at the dejected people from the various sects and could not help but click his tongue in wonder.
“After this battle, I don't think anyone from the martial world will dare to provoke me again.”
Zhou Jing shook his head and casually explained the entirety of what happened during the conference.
When Fang Zhen heard this, he was overjoyed, “In that case, Brother will be the number one expert in the world from now on? Haha, with Brother's skills, you should have had such a title long ago!”
As a sworn brother and the first follower, he felt very proud.
Zhou Jing smiled and chatted for a while before returning to the cabin to rest. In fact, he only wanted the rest as an excuse to open the interface and sort out his gains from this trip.
The greatest benefit was naturally the reward of the World's Best] milestone.
The fourth apostle, Chen Feng, had now obtained an additional characteristic, (Martial Arts Genius]. It was similar to a new talent. When he used any martial arts ability, it was as if he had the support of a BGM playing behind him, and his power would increase greatly. Even ordinary moves could radiate with great power.
Coupled with his original (Battle Intuition), this apostle's development potential in the martial path could be said to be extremely far-reaching. He was destined to be a combat freak.
As for the three (Support Function Upgrades], they were the rewards he valued the most. This was the first time he had received them.
However, in the personal travel state, he could not upgrade the support function. He had to return to the preparation space to operate it.
Currently, he only had five support functions. He had yet to think of how to upgrade them.
However, the only thing he was sure of was that the follower function would definitely occupy one of them. He had to level up to have a new follower slot. At the same time, he could also increase the potential template of his followers. The benefits were very considerable.
On the other hand, this milestone achievement provided 150 Information State Particles, allowing the permanence progress of the fourth apostle to be completed in an instant. However, the more progress there was, the higher the evaluation during settlement. This was not the time for him to die yet.
However, this did not stop Zhou Jing from giving the accumulated aptitude enhancement rewards to the fourth apostle… Since he could already conclusively become an Eternal Apostle, there was no risk of losing the additional investment in Chen Feng.
“What I can be sure of is that Apostle #004 will definitely take the martial arts path. I'll give him all the martial arts aptitude improvements… And the Physical Fitness improvements as well. He already has the Deep Blue aptitude, so he should be able to reach the Purple tier. As for Resistance, although he won't be able to reach the Purple tier, it won't be a problem for his resistance to increase by a minor tier…”
Zhou Jing thought for a while and finally used the accumulated achievement rewards to improve Apostle #004.
(You have used (Aptitude Enhancement – Martial Arts (Slight)] x1, [Aptitude Enhancement – Martial Arts (Small)] x1, [Aptitude Enhancement – Martial Arts (Great)] x1.)
[Martial Arts Aptitude Change: (Light Purple) → [Dark Purple]]
(You have used [Aptitude Enhancement – Physical Fitness (Small)] x3]
[Physical Fitness Aptitude Change: [Dark Blue] → [Light Purple]]
(You have used (Aptitude Enhancement – Resistance (Small)] x2]
[Resistance Aptitude Change: (Light Blue] → (Blue]]
“How comfortable. Now I have two purple aptitudes.”
Zhou Jing took a deep breath, satisfied.
In one move, he had used up all the accumulated martial arts aptitude enhancements. He finally had a use for them. As for the Physical Fitness and Resistance aptitude enhancement rewards, he had also used a portion of them. The rest was not enough to push his aptitude to further heights, so he did not continue to consume them.
As for the other types of aptitude rewards, they were not suitable for Apostle #004, Chen Feng. He did not waste them.
His martial arts aptitude had increased greatly, by two levels in a row. It was basically the effect of (Aptitude Enhancement – Martial Arts (Great)]. He could not help but sigh at the value of this achievement.
Originally, light purple aptitude was already at the level of a genius, and dark purple aptitude was even more talented. It was probably at the level of self-taught talent, being able to understand at one point and infer three things from the same point.
If it were an ordinary person with such aptitude in a certain field, they would most likely become a notable figure in this field. They might even make groundbreaking results and become one of the famous figures to go down in history.
“When Chen Feng receives the reward for settlement, his aptitude can still increase. I'm afraid he can reach a level above the purple level… Such aptitude is far higher than Bill's. As an Eternal Apostle, it's obvious that Chen Feng's account is more valuable. It won't be outdated for a long time.”
Zhou Jing perked up.
This way, he would have his first trump card apostle on his hands.
Everyone took a ship back to the stronghold. They originally thought that there would be problems on the way, but they did not expect everything to be smooth sailing. No one actually came to intercept them. This was beyond Zhou Jing's expectations.
However, just as he returned to the stronghold, before Zhou Jing could sit down, he was invited to the main hall by the many leaders who had stayed behind to report the emergency military situation.
“Master, the other two flood dragons have moved. They seem to be jointly sending troops to attack our territory. At the same time, our spies in the state capital have sent back news that the official troops in the Huyang State are moving towards us. The situation is not optimistic!”
Du Ying cupped his hands and reported solemnly.
…..When Zhou Jing heard this, he narrowed his eyes and smiled.
“Looks like the other two enemies can't sit still anymore. Even the Imperial Court has joined in to take a share. They probably reached some kind of cooperation in private. The three parties are actually joining forces to attack us. Heh, they're really giving us face.”
“Brother, do you have a plan?” Du Ying asked curiously.
The corners of Zhou Jing's mouth curled up as he shouted,
“How can we let others snore on the side of our bed? Sooner or later, they will declare war. Now is the time. After a winter of rest, the boys have already trained well. Since they want to fight, that's what I want. This time, we'll completely subdue the other two flood dragons. After this, we can occupy Yang Lake and dominate an entire territory!”
“We'll listen to Brother's instructions!”
Everyone responded with a loud cheer.
