Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 484 Steel Wire
Hu Yi said, "I... told him not to look anymore. It's been too long, and even if we find it, it'll be too late..."

"No, there's definitely still a chance. The demons might just be capturing humans to work for. Didn't a video leak out before, showing demons capturing people to forge weapons in the Demon Prison, where they only work eight hours a day?"

Hu Yi said helplessly, "I've heard of it."

Feng Wenhao said, "Wait a few days until Xu Qingjin's mother is more stable. Then you can contact Xu Qingjin and see if you can ask her about the Demon Worshipping Cult. After all, the two aunts have met before, so she won't refuse to help."

"We'll see. If there's any news, Wuwei will definitely let me know," Hu Yi said.

Feng Wenhao sighed and said, "Then tell your dad to be careful too. A while ago they were arresting a lot of women, but now they're arresting both men and women. Two of our seniors from Ruda University were arrested by the Demon Worshipping Cult and haven't been heard from since."

"So crazy? Aren't the military police going to do anything about it?"

"Of course we care. The armed police are swamped with work, and our martial arts students often assist with the investigations."

Hu Yi said, "Sigh, if only I had worked harder back then and applied to a martial arts school. I heard that the admission scores for martial arts schools are rising every year. For example, the admission scores for a major martial arts school have already exceeded those of key universities that are not martial arts schools."

"What do you think? Those who think martial arts schools have low admission scores are outdated. Now, martial arts school students go directly into the Military Health Service, and the number of applicants is skyrocketing. The admission scores for some of the top ten martial arts schools are even higher than those for the lower-ranked Martial Arts University. Some martial arts schools are even harder to get into than the main campuses, can you believe it?"

"I didn't believe it before, but I do now."

"However, Ruda is also very powerful now, because of the Divine Script Academy, its national ranking has reached 22nd. As long as the Divine Script Academy produces results, it can take another big step forward."

"I've also heard that if we can achieve a higher ranking in the 'World Martial Arts Championship,' we could very well break into the top ten."

Knowing that Hu Yi was in a bad mood recently and Zhou Leng was not around, Feng Wenhao kept Hu Yi company and chatted idly.

Like outside the city, deep in an abandoned factory.

Several grandmasters of the Huang-Meng school stood before several innate masters.

Tong Tianxia was among them, as was Zhang Xiaoxiao.

"According to our intelligence, the demons have two main purposes for entering the Great Battlefield this time."

"Firstly, it is to help the Heavenly Calamity Envoy... no, he's practically the Heavenly Calamity God, find a Martial Shadow Wall. As for what specific technique it is, we don't know. This matter is not important to us, and we can't fight against the Heavenly Calamity God anyway."

"Secondly, we must prevent the creation of the heinous White Lake. We failed to stop the Magic Bag Garden last time, and we must stop the White Lake at all costs this time."

"You, besides preventing the formation of White Lake, also need to kill someone..."

Lianxiang Company is located underground.

Lady Xiyan threw a shield-shaped token onto the table with a clang.

Rao Mingxian and Shen Jun took a closer look and their faces showed curiosity.

This is the Battlefield Shield Token, which has been causing quite a stir lately. It's a token for entering the Great Battlefield, and countless forces covet it.

Lady Xiyan said, "I have always thought highly of Zhou Leng. Demonizing Zhou Leng is the main target of our Dragon Kingdom's Demon Worshiping Sect. In order to better demonize him, I went to great lengths to obtain this Battlefield Shield Token. The Great Battlefield is about to open. You two take people and hand this Battlefield Shield Token to Zhou Leng."

Rao Mingxian and Shen Jun exchanged a glance.

The value of this battlefield shield token is unimaginable; it could even win the allegiance of a grandmaster, let alone Zhou Leng.

But neither of them dared to say anything.

"Yes!"

Shen Jun continued, "Madam, we just received news that Ten-Horned Mangxue attempted to assassinate Zhou Leng in the Divine Blood Lava of the Dwarf World, but ended up dying inexplicably in the Divine Blood Lava himself. However, based on some rumors, we suspect that Ten-Horned Mangxue dragged Zhou Leng into the depths of the Divine Blood Lava. Zhou Leng was unharmed, but he was burned to death by the Divine Blood Lava."

"Is that so? How long did Zhou Leng endure in the Divine Blood Magma?"

"More than twelve hours, even more than thirteen hours."

Lady Xiyan smiled and said, "As expected of the child I value, it was worth finding this battlefield shield token for him."

Rao Mingxian and Shen Jun remained silent. They had never understood why Madam Xiyan would act as kindly as a mother whenever Zhou Leng was mentioned.

He was so loyal, yet he was treated like a beast of burden. Why did Zhou Leng get away with this? He's such a succubus.

“Go. Also, tell him that the Great Battlefield will give birth to the White Lake, and let him take the White Lake Lotus Fruit. No… he can pass the trial of the Divine Blood Magma, so the White Lake Lotus Fruit is no longer worthy of him. Let him try his best to seize the White Lake Mother Fruit. Also, tell him to be careful of Zhao He.”

Shen Jun exclaimed in surprise, "Is this something I can say?"

"It's just to warn him to be careful, what can't be said?" Madam Xiyan's expression suddenly turned cold.

“Yes, yes, yes…” Shen Jun hurriedly agreed.

Crimson Dragon's Nest.

"Ten-Horned Bloodlust is dead? Hahahaha..." Crimson Eyes' voice rang out.

The dragons below were puzzled.

Crimson Eyes chuckled, "I was worried because I lacked a Battlefield Shield Token to bribe Zhou Leng, and I was even considering spending a fortune to trade it with another dragon. But then, that Ten-Horned Berserker died. I promised the Ten-Horned Peak I'd leave a Battlefield Shield Token for his son, but now I don't need it anymore, so I'll give it to Zhou Leng. Emerald Wings!"

"My subordinate is here."

"Go to the dwarven world immediately and find Zhou Leng. Bring him to me, and I will agree to all his conditions. Not only will I give him the Battlefield Shield Token and the Dragon Blood Body, but I will also sign an alliance blood pact with him to guarantee that I will not harm him."

Emerald Wing whispered, "Your Majesty, can you really resist harming him? I'm worried that you'll be backfired by the blood pact."

"Stop talking nonsense. Just go when I tell you to."

"Yes, sir." Emerald Wings pursed its lips, flapped its wings, and flew towards the dwarven world.

Eagle Alliance, Blue Lake Manor.

Aiden looked at the message from the Ice and Snow Cult with a somber expression.

His office was gilded everywhere, and there was even a gilded black dragon head.

Jax and the others stood opposite the desk, not daring to utter a sound.

Aiden said, "Why has the Ice and Snow Cult drastically reduced its supplies to the Trupp family, cutting them by a full 30% compared to last year? You've been in contact with the Ice and Snow Cult for a long time, you must have heard about it, right?"

Jax kept his head down and remained silent.

One of them said, "According to the information we have received, the Ice and Snow Cult has drastically changed its attitude towards Zhou Leng, and has even mobilized an unknown treasure. Moreover, the treatment given to Zhou Leng has been greatly improved, directly raising it to the legendary level."

"But the resources of the Ice and Snow Cult are limited. If they are given to Zhou Leng, then the amount that ends up in our hands will be limited."

"Moreover, I heard that Zhou Leng has applied for a trade permit from the Ice and Snow Cult, and will be able to obtain resources from the Ice and Snow Cult in a few months at most."

"By the way, intelligence indicates that Zhou Leng facilitated a deal between the Ice and Snow Cult and the Martial Guard Department, amounting to 5 billion Dragon Kingdom Yuan."

Aiden pondered for a long time before saying, "So, it's all because of Zhou Leng?"

"I wouldn't say all of them, but most of them are."

Aiden's brows furrowed, his anger surging, and he felt like he could explode at any moment.

I've been so good to you, and you actually stole my martial arts resources?

Anyone who obstructs my ascension to sainthood will be my sworn enemy!
But the thought of the tyrannical blood calmed his mind.

"Has the Blood of Tyranny truly ascended to sainthood?" Aiden asked.

"Today, confirmed news has been released that he has not only ascended to sainthood, but has also entered the Sea Emperor's Palace and completed the Sea Emperor's ceremony."

Aiden breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly, "Demigods find it extremely difficult to enter other worlds. From now on, the other worlds will no longer need to worry about the Blood of Tyranny."

"That's right. After the tyrannical bloodline ascended to sainthood, all the races of the ten realms were celebrating."

Aiden said, "Without the blood of tyranny, I no longer need to care about Zhou Leng. However, I can't turn against him now; I must wait until I am named a Holy Son."

"Now that you have found the clues to the God of Ice and Snow on the Great Battlefield, as long as you obtain the Tears of Ice and Snow, once the Ice and Snow Cult conducts the selection of the Holy Son, you will surely become the Holy Son. At that time, Zhou Leng will be at your mercy, and it will not be considered a falling out at all."

Aiden smiled slightly and said, "I hope this trip goes smoothly and that I obtain the Tear of Ice and Snow. At that time, the entire Ice and Snow Cult will prostrate itself at my feet, and winter and the North will crown me!"

Everyone offered their congratulations.

"Jax, you stay."

The rest of the people left.

Jax was uneasy, knowing that he had a good relationship with Zhou Leng and that Ai Lü might hate him.

"How do you handle your relationship with Zhou Leng?" Aiden asked.

Jax immediately declared, "I was born a member of the Troupe family, and I will die a member of Prince Aiden's soul. I will never abandon my family! Zhou Leng has seized hundreds of billions of resources that rightfully belong to my Troupe family. He has become an enemy of my family!"

"Not really."

Aiden's words left Jax speechless.

Aiden said, "Zhou Leng's connections are far beyond imagination. Whether before or after the falling out, you must never be enemies with him. You must let everyone know that the Trump family is on good terms with Zhou Leng. Even if he dies, it will not change. The family made a mistake in the past, provoking enemies all over the world and almost being wiped out. We cannot repeat that mistake."

Jax immediately understood that this was to prevent the Blood of Tyranny or the Mountain and River Heavenly Peak from seeking revenge.

“I understand. I will intensify my efforts, pretend to curry favor with Zhou Leng, and wait for you to be promoted to Holy Son of the Divine Cult so that I can cooperate with you to deal with him!” Jax said.

Aiden nodded and said, "Very good. I have more than ten thousand high-energy shells here, which I traded from the Demon Prison and the Giant Insect Clan. Sell them to him at a low price to give everyone the illusion that our Trupp family is Zhou Leng's eternal ally."

Jax smiled and said, "Our Trump family also likes to betray our allies to prevent them from sharing the profits."

“Go ahead,” Aiden smiled.

Jax left carrying the magic bag, thinking to himself as he walked.

“If you really become the Holy Son and get rid of Zhou Leng, you will definitely turn against your family to seize power, and I will probably be the first to suffer.”

"Although Zhou Leng is unlikely to bring me huge benefits again, at least he won't harm my interests."

"It's a bit like walking a tightrope, take it slow."

"Sigh, this is too difficult..."

Xiongjing, a large single-level apartment in Qianliu Academy.

Zhao He, Lou Feiqiong, and several other friends got completely drunk.

He squinted, his eyes blurry, his face flushed, and complained to his friends.
