Chapter 497 The Privileges Are Finally Abolished
"Can I go in and take a look?" Liu Xiangdong asked.
"Go ahead," Chung Kwok-hung waved his hand.
Upon stepping into the carriage, Liu Xiangdong was completely stunned—
Who would have thought that this iron lump would contain such a small world inside...
After asking for the details, he drove away.
More than a month later, Zhong Guohong set a new structure for the Butcher's Blade Brigade: one brigade leader, three company leaders, and thirty squad leaders, each of whom received a share of the Millennium Willow Heart.
Before long, the entire team rose to the peak of the War God realm.
"With over nine hundred peak War Gods, it's time to loosen the privileges of martial artists." Jia Yi laughed loudly.
The War God Palace, jointly founded by Lin and Thor, provides its students with a wealth of resources. Even after becoming War Gods, they are unwilling to leave the palace to hunt beasts and instead stay in the settlement to pass the time—in short, they are parasites.
Those resources were all squeezed out by countries through gritted teeth.
"The Palace of War is humanity's last line of defense?" Zhong Guohong scoffed.
In his view, true strength is forged in blood and fire; those who are raised on resources will never become pillars of society!
Ordinary people work hard from dawn till dusk to support their families, but what are the students of the War God Palace doing?
Those who defend our homeland have never been warriors, but soldiers.
Without someone like Dong Nanbiao, it's hard to say whether Thor and Lin could have survived the initial stages, let alone reached the pinnacle of global combat power.
Without soldiers guarding the base, even basic survival would be a luxury, let alone learning martial arts.
If it weren't for the common people cultivating the land day after day, martial artists wouldn't even have enough to eat before they could even step through the door.
What is the Ares Palace doing now? Enjoying the best resources in the world, yet raising a group of spineless sycophants.
"Advisor Zhong, what stage of cultivation have you reached?" Zhu Xi couldn't help but ask.
"Slightly better than Lin," Chung Kwok-hung replied calmly.
After the Golden Core is perfected, the speed of physical body tempering increases dramatically.
To date, he has pushed his "Dragon Elephant Undying Technique" to the twenty-third level.
By harnessing the power of chaos to solidify and repeatedly devour and refine it, his cultivation level had already leaped to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
Even without activating his super strength talent, he can unleash a force of over eight million tons using only his physical strength.
At this moment, he was confident that he could kill a cosmic-level cultivator with a single blow;
Even when facing a Domain Lord-level expert, although victory is not guaranteed, escaping unscathed is absolutely no problem.
With the Chaos Bell protecting him and the Minghong Blade to defeat enemies, he dares to confront even world lord-level beings head-on.
"You...are even stronger than Lin?" Zhu Xi was stunned, his voice trembling.
"We fought a few days ago—I was unharmed, but he vomited blood on the spot," Chung Kwok-hung said calmly.
If Lin hadn't personally stopped him, Thor would have been eliminated by his own hands long ago.
Only because Lin had risked his life for the Earth and for China did they hold back when they made their move.
After discussion, everyone unanimously recommended Zhong Guohong to take charge of the China Armed Forces Administration.
The Armed Forces Administration system is divided into three levels: district level, base level, and general bureau level.
Zhu Xi, Jia Yi, and others then announced their withdrawal from the War God Palace.
In their hearts, their country and their homeland always come first; the various actions of the War God Palace in recent years have long been chilling and disheartening.
When the news broke, countless people were shocked and puzzled—why the sudden severing of ties?
Three days later, the China Martial Arts Administration officially issued a document abolishing the exclusive privileges of martial artists.
The bureau oversees martial arts affairs and is also responsible for the security of the six major bases.
Previously, Zhu Xi, Jia Yi, and others did not leave the War God Palace because they were wary of the power and suppression of Lin and the Thunder God.
Now that we know Chung Kwok-hung is far superior to Lin, there is no need for him to stay any longer.
Martial artists make quick money, so why should they get free tickets on the high-speed rail?
Why are there frequent discounts on supplies, yet ordinary people have to pay the full price?
Killing someone and then just paying some money to get by? Are ordinary people's lives really as worthless as grass?
Based on the structure of the Black God Suit and incorporating the strongest known metal, Chung Kwok-hung used the Treasure Basin to mass-produce three thousand new battle suits.
During the same period, another three thousand SSS-grade alloy battle knives were forged.
It resembles the Black God Set in appearance, but its defensive capabilities are at least ten times greater.
The entire Butcher's Blade Brigade was equipped with one suit of armor and one blade; the remaining armor was handed over to Jia Yi and Zhu Xi for overall coordination and allocation.
Liu Xiangdong, who had been inside the light-speed armored vehicle, mistakenly believed that all the equipment came from the vehicle's internal reserves.
Chung Kuo-hung instructed his parents to establish Zhenhua Pharmaceutical Company, which specializes in the purchase of medicinal materials and the sale of medicinal decoctions.
The move to abolish privileges angered the HR Alliance, Extreme Martial Arts School, Thunder Martial Arts School, and countless other martial arts groups.
Currently, the medicinal materials produced on Earth are only enough to brew one to three grades of medicinal soup and bath.
Fortunately, neither has side effects and both can be used repeatedly, although the effect decreases with each use.
Even so, thanks to its extremely low cost, sales have always been smooth sailing.
Three hundred and sixty satellites were successfully launched into orbit, weaving a global satellite network in low Earth orbit—communicating, monitoring, and controlling everything in one network.
These intelligent satellites, far removed from the atmosphere, leave even the most powerful flying monsters helpless, forced to look up in awe.
"The StarNet is complete. The next step is to establish a military academy."
This long-established military academy at the Jiangnan base has been officially renamed the Huaxia Military Academy.
Chung Kwok-hung personally lectured and recorded the complete set of instructional videos: Xingyi Five Elements Fist, Tai Chi Chuan, Bagua Palm, Bajiquan, Wing Chun, Dragon Roar Iron Shirt, Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover... all the way to the Marrow Cleansing Classic.
All content is listed as core teaching material for the Military Academy.
The affairs of Huaxia Tianwu Academy were entirely entrusted to Principal Jia Yi and Vice Principal Zhu Xi.
With their parents' insistence, Zhong Guohong and Liu Ting obtained their marriage certificate and held a wedding banquet.
After indulging in a few days of rest, he drove his light-speed armored vehicle alone into the wilderness to search for treasure.
"A replica of a Zerg hive of the World Lord level is sufficient."
"The Nine Tribulations Secret Manual engraved on the black metal plate can elevate one's life level, so we also need to make a replica."
He didn't take the original metal plate—ordinary people couldn't even see it, but he wasn't an ordinary person.
The "Chaos Divine Technique" he cultivated was forged from the five divine techniques of Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Qilin, plus the seven methods of Cold Moon True Scripture and Blazing Sun True Scripture. His divine sense was so detailed that it was as fine as a hair.
He has also diligently practiced the visualization technique of the Great God Pangu for over a thousand years, and now the divine image condensed in his upper dantian is becoming increasingly close to his own appearance.
The Pangu that was first seen was majestic and awe-inspiring, like a giant god who created the world;
Over time, that towering figure quietly shifted, its outline and features becoming more and more like his own.
Chung Kuo-hung practices nine things at once – he practices while eating, he cultivates while lying down, and he simultaneously advances the three methods of Chaos Divine Technique, Pangu Visualization, and the Heart Sutra of Time, never letting up.
Once the Golden Eyes of Truth are formed, they can instantly distinguish between reality and illusion; even the folds of dark spaces cannot escape their eyes.
In the world of Swallowed Star, there is no concept of parallel universes.
That black metal plate, which was specifically meant for Luo Feng, ultimately couldn't escape Zhong Guohong's gaze.
After replicating the relics one by one, he turned his car around and drove back to Sunshine Community.
"You're back." Liu Ting's eyes crinkled with joy.
Seeing the exquisite curves outlined by her tight-fitting clothes, Zhong Guohong's lips unconsciously curled up.
He took out a jar of Moutai that had been aged for a thousand years and first called his parents and in-laws one by one.
Wearing an apron, she personally took charge of cooking, and the table was filled with delicacies from land and sea, their aromas irresistible.
