Chapter 69 - 66: Greetings, Mr. Liu!

Chapter 69: Chapter 66: Greetings, Mr. Liu!

Half an hour later.

Liu Zimo finished dismantling all four Regiment Level Demon Beasts. The thousands of Warriors observing around him had filled their entire notebooks with notes.

With the instruction concluded, Liu Zimo left the training ground, accompanied by Yang Sisi, Liang Luojun, and the others.

As for the massive chunk of Vajra Tenderloin, which weighed over ten thousand pounds and emitted a faint, serene fragrance, Feihong had volunteered to carry it. Using only a single arm, she effortlessly held it aloft as she followed behind her master.

Seeing such a tiny girl effortlessly lifting a giant block of meat the size of a train car, the Warriors’ jaws dropped to the floor. This was far too absurd! A mere child, looking not even six years old, was lifting a ten-thousand-pound weight with one hand! How were these twenty-something-year-old men supposed to show their faces after this?

"This has to be innate Divine Power!"

"No wonder she could become Advisor Liu’s disciple. If I had that kind of foundation and talent, I could become his apprentice too!"

"Divine Power my foot! Open your damn eyes and look closely!" another retorted. "When that little girl exerts strength, her skin shines radiantly, and a rich layer of golden light clings to the surface of her body! What does that mean? It means she’s already an Iron Bone Realm Martial Artist!"

"What? What’s the big deal about the Iron Bone Realm?"

"You’re so ignorant! You completely wasted your time in the Martial Dao common sense classes these past two days!" a veteran scolded. "Don’t you know that an Iron Bone Realm Martial Artist lifting ten thousand pounds with one hand is basically standard operation? If you were in the Iron Bone Realm, you could effortlessly lift that Vajra Tenderloin too!"

Hearing the discussions in the crowd, the Warriors who were previously confused all drew in sharp breaths almost simultaneously. The Iron Bone Realm! It was said that after breaking through to this realm, Martial Artists no longer feared ordinary pistols or machine guns. Any ordinary bullets fired at them would be instantly deflected by the layer of golden light on their bodies. Their defensive capabilities were overwhelmingly formidable.

For these Quasi-Martial Artists with average aptitude—most of whom had not even reached the Copper Skin Realm—the Iron Bone Mirror was an unattainable, supreme realm at their current stage. Yet, who could have imagined that this Martial Dao realm they all dreamed of would appear on a little girl whose age was not even a fraction of theirs!

Was the little girl innately gifted, or was Advisor Liu exceptionally skilled at teaching? Instinctively, almost all the Warriors present leaned toward the latter. In their view, no matter how high the little girl’s talent was, she could never have possessed the astonishing strength of the Iron Bone Realm at such a young age if she hadn’t met a master like Advisor Liu.

How did the saying go? A fast train relies entirely on its locomotive. Fine steeds are common, but those who can spot them are rare. In the hearts of many Warriors, Advisor Liu was undoubtedly the talent scout who could spot fine steeds! They just wondered if anyone among them had the potential to become such a steed.

"Alright, alright, stop your blind blabbering!" Suddenly, Zhou Yiren, who had stayed behind until the end, spoke up loudly, suppressing the voices of all the Warriors. "Gold will shine no matter where it is! If you are truly outstanding enough, Advisor Liu will discover you sooner or later! Now, listen to my orders!"

SWISH! All the Warriors present simultaneously snapped to attention, listening with Jingxin.

"At this moment, there are massive amounts of Demon Beast corpses remaining in Luozhou City!

"The Staff Department orders all Warriors present to leave the camp. Utilize the dissection and harvesting knowledge Advisor Liu taught you to completely dismantle and harvest these Demon Beast corpses. While familiarizing yourselves with your new skills, you will also enrich the military armory’s supplies!

"At the same time, do not keep this to yourselves. Spread what you’ve heard from Advisor Liu to the ears of every Martial Artist in the city as quickly as possible!

"The Staff Department demands that we make sure every Martial Artist in the city knows that the Demon Beasts outside the city are covered in treasures. If they hunt down the corresponding Demon Beasts, they can come directly to the Military Staff Department to exchange them for Military Merit!"

"Yes, sir! We guarantee the completion of the mission!" The Warriors stood tall and responded in unison, their incredibly resonant voices echoing throughout the entire training ground.

Having just stepped out of the training ground, Liu Zimo heard the deafening roar of acknowledgment behind him. He couldn’t help but nod in gratification, casting a satisfied glance at Liang Luojun, who was walking by his side. It seemed this Junior Advisor had completely grasped the true intention behind his public lecture today. As long as the news spread, perhaps even before tomorrow, a large number of civilian Martial Artists would proactively venture out of the city to hunt Demon Beasts in search of opportunities. One should never underestimate the courage of these civilian Martial Artists. Moreover, there was hardly a Martial Artist in this world who could refuse or resist the opportunity and temptation to elevate their Martial Arts Cultivation. The Vajra Beasts, which had been hunted to the brink of extinction by the Martial Artists of the entire Federation back in the day, were the best example of this!

"Director Liang, I’ll have to trouble you to send someone to gather all the Martial Artists in the city and the military whose cultivation is at the peak of the Copper Skin Realm or in the Iron Bone Realm!" Liu Zimo suddenly spoke, instructing Liang Luojun. "Just tell them that I want to treat them to barbecue!"

Liang Luojun’s eyes lit up. He glanced at the Vajra Tenderloin held aloft by Feihong and hastily nodded in agreement. He knew that Advisor Liu was handing him a favor! It was clear that Advisor Liu was quite satisfied with his earlier performance and was deliberately supporting and elevating him. From the looks of it, his previous worries about his position being replaced by someone else would no longer be an issue.

Liang Luojun gladly accepted the order and quickly departed. He intended to personally deliver the invitations to the few extremely powerful Iron Bone Realm Martial Artists in the city. At the same time, he needed to have someone tally the number of Martial Artists at the peak of the Copper Skin Realm within the military and the city as fast as possible, ensuring not a single person was left out and everyone was invited accordingly.

Meanwhile, Liu Zimo took Yang Sisi, Feihong, and three Military Staff Department Inner Guards to the Celestial Terrace on the roof of the tallest barracks in the camp. Without needing Liu Zimo’s orders, the five of them, including Feihong, divided the labor and got busy. Some sliced the meat, some looked for charcoal, some set up the barbecue grill, and others began preparing the corresponding tables and chairs. Twenty-odd minutes later, everything was ready. The numerous Martial Artists invited by Liang Luojun also began to arrive one after another.

Among them, the majority were at the peak of the Copper Skin Realm, with only a scant dozen or so Iron Bone Realm Martial Artists. It was worth mentioning that Lou Yuchen, who had just broken through to the Golden Body Realm, was also invited by Liang Luojun. After all, when Lou Yuchen broke through to the Golden Body Realm earlier, his body had been like a great sun, shining over the entire city. It was hard not to notice him. Furthermore, as the first Martial Artist in Luozhou City to publicly break through to the Golden Body Realm, Lou Yuchen was no longer the man he used to be. One could get a glimpse of this just by looking at the Iron Bone Realm Martial Artists crowding around him, offering polite compliments, and the amiable attitudes of the bigwigs from various factions toward him.

"Mr. Liu?!"

As the crowd ascended to the rooftop Celestial Terrace, Lou Yuchen immediately spotted Liu Zimo sitting right in the center. Then, with almost no hesitation, amidst the stunned, astonished, and disbelieving gazes of everyone present, Lou Yuchen briskly walked up to Liu Zimo and bowed deeply to the ground in a sincere salute.

"Greetings, Mr. Liu! I truly didn’t expect to reunite with you so soon, sir!"

After the salute, Lou Yuchen stood respectfully before Liu Zimo, deliberately refraining from bringing up the recent preaching and teaching. However, his casual utterance of ’sir,’ coupled with his completely undisguised, genuine attitude of reverence and admiration before Liu Zimo, left everyone behind him utterly astounded and their imaginations running wild.

They had originally thought that after breaking through to the Golden Body Realm, Lou Yuchen would be able to stand as an equal to this mysterious Advisor Liu, preventing Liu Zimo from dominating exclusively and disregarding all of them. But what was this situation now? Not only did their imagined scenario of two tigers fighting fail to occur, but Lou Yuchen—upon whom they had placed high hopes—bowed in submission the moment he saw Liu Zimo, instantly turning into a total fanboy!

Looking at Lou Yuchen’s bow just now, he had practically bowed to the ground, displaying the utmost sincerity. If the other party hadn’t bestowed a massive favor upon him, how could he perform such a grand salute to Advisor Liu? Could it be that Lou Yuchen and Advisor Liu were already well acquainted? Furthermore, was the real reason Lou Yuchen could smoothly break through to the Golden Body Realm due to Advisor Liu’s secret guidance? Thinking of this possibility, everyone present couldn’t help but draw sharp breaths in their hearts. They wondered what kind of Cultivation Realm this Advisor Liu was in right now if that was truly the case. Now that even a newly risen Golden Body Realm expert like Lou Yuchen stood by his side, they realized his influence in Luozhou City would undoubtedly reach the absolute zenith in the future!
