Outside the training room, Yang Baichuan's voice trembled slightly with barely suppressed excitement: "You brat! Come out here! The emergency communications from Federal Headquarters are practically blowing up this old man's communicator!"

Su Jie suppressed his surging aura, and the illusory figures of the heavens behind him quietly dissipated.

He pushed open the door to the training room, a hint of arrogance still lingering on his face from his recent breakthrough. He grinned and said, "Uncle Yang, look at what you're saying. It's just a slight breakthrough, nothing special."

Looking at the aura emanating from Su Jie that was as deep as the sea, aura that even he found unsettling, and sensing the lingering energy in the air, Yang Baichuan almost spat out a mouthful of blood: "A slight breakthrough? You call this a slight breakthrough?!"

The entire city of Linjiang just witnessed your extraordinary cultivation! Quickly, come with me to connect to the communication line; it's Special Envoy Nangong Bo's private line!

Upon arriving at the communications room, a ghostly image of Nangong Bo appeared on the light screen.

"Su Jie!" Nangong Bo spoke first, his face showing unprecedented solemnity and a hint of fanaticism. "According to data from the Linjiang City Energy Monitoring Station, it has been confirmed that you have successfully condensed your tenth martial vein, breaking the limits of the human race and stepping into the 'Ten Veins Extreme Realm'!"

By deliberation of the Federal Supreme Council and the Joint Conference of War Gods, you are officially granted the title of "Federal War God"!

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light pierced through the void and landed in front of Su Jie. It was an ancient-looking dark gold badge, engraved with an interwoven pattern of stars and fist imprints, emitting a faint energy fluctuation.

At the same time, a storage ring with a more ornate design and an internal space several times larger than Chen Mingyang's slowly appeared.

"This is your War God Badge and a specially made storage ring, which are bound to your life force and soul fluctuations."

Nangong Bo's tone carried a hint of envy, "The ring contains a basic resource package that the Federation bestowed upon newly promoted War Gods, including 100 million Star Yuan, 100,000 Contribution Points, and some things that you might find useful."

Su Jie accepted the badge and ring, scanned the ring with his divine sense, and immediately beamed with joy. One hundred million star coins were nothing, but one hundred thousand contribution points were solid currency, enough to exchange for quite a few good things.

More importantly, there were even a few bottles labeled "Experimental High-Concentration Pure Qi and Blood Mixture" inside. Although it was a drop in the ocean for him, he appreciated the sentiment.

"Thank you, Federation. Thank you, Special Envoy Nangong." Su Jie smiled and bowed.

Nangong Bo gave a few more instructions about the duties and authority of the God of War, and then cut off the communication.

Yang Baichuan let out a long sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and watched Su Jie toying with the War God Badge. He couldn't help but ask, "How does it feel? Federation War God! You're a real big shot now!"

Su Jie casually pinned the badge to his chest, pursed his lips, and said, "How do I feel? I feel... a great responsibility, and even poorer."

"Huh?" Yang Baichuan was taken aback.

Su Jie sighed, looking distressed. "Uncle Yang, you don't know. My physique generates a lot of Qi and blood automatically every second. But think about it, it took me a hundred million Qi and blood to condense my tenth meridian! And I still need to temper my martial bones, right?"

I heard that tempering a single basic martial bone requires at least 100,000 units of qi and blood, and then you need to further temper and upgrade the bones, resulting in 206 bones in the body… How much would that cost? I feel it's more than 2 billion! With my automatic generation, how long would it take? The resources the Federation provides aren't even enough to fill a gap in our teeth!

Yang Baichuan's lips twitched as he listened, wishing he could slap this Versailles bastard to death.

Over 100 million points of pure blood a year... and you call that poor? Other War King level experts work themselves to death hunting demonic beasts and refining them into demonic beast pills. They're already geniuses if they can absorb hundreds of thousands of points of pure blood a year!

"Get lost! Don't try to play the poor card with me!" Yang Baichuan snapped irritably. "Go think about those ordinary martial artists who can only improve their qi and blood by a fraction of a second a day using basic breathing techniques!"

Yang Baichuan's words were like a needle, gently pricking Su Jie, but instantly triggering the repressed images in his mind.

On the northern battlefield, the resolute glance Chen Mingyang gave back, the final look in his eyes when he shielded him from the deadly breath of the Skeleton Emperor Dragon with his own body—a look that was a mixture of entrustment and relief…

Captain Chen Feng and his twelve teammates, facing the Primordial Savage Elephant King, did not hesitate to reverse their qi and blood, transforming into the most dazzling yet tragic pillars of energy, sacrificing their lives to buy him a chance to breathe, their desperate "charge"...

And then there were those warriors whose names he didn't even know, who were swallowed up like reefs by the beast tide time and time again, yet they repeatedly built defensive lines with their own flesh and blood, just to buy him, this "hope," one more second...

Was their sacrifice merely to leave Su Jie here to calculate whether it's one or two hundred million units of vital energy each year, to haggle over personal gains and losses, and to simply remain aloof?!

An indescribable sense of heaviness and responsibility erupted in his chest like a volcano, scorching his soul.

His life, Su Jie's life, was bought with the lives of countless others! The system he possesses is an immense opportunity, but this opportunity can also be used to help those who deserve it!

Su Jie focused his mind once again on his body. He tried to guide a wisp of pure blood and qi within him, intending to expel it from his body, condense it into a blood and qi pill, or directly transfer it to someone else.

However, once that blood and qi leaves the body, a certain original characteristic contained within it quickly dissipates, becoming no different from the blood and qi cultivated by ordinary martial artists. Although it remains pure, it loses the ability to be absorbed and refined at will.

"As expected, it won't work..." Su Jie stroked his chin. "The blood and qi essence produced by the system seem to be bound to my soul origin, making it impossible to directly grant others the same side-effect-free absorption and refining ability. This is troublesome."

He thought of those martial artists who, due to insufficient resources or the torment of poison, were unable to hone their foundation to a high level during the Martial Aperture stage.

Even if they metabolize the poison of pills and enhance their ability to absorb the blood and qi of others after condensing their martial veins, the foundation they laid in the Martial Aperture stage still determines their upper limit.

"It seems that simply providing blood and qi resources is a poor strategy, a lazy approach!" Su Jie's eyes gleamed with understanding. "I must solve the problem at its root, I must find a way."

A method that would allow them, even at the Martial Aperture stage, to break free of their shackles through their own efforts, or at least through more readily available resources!

Thinking of the 10,000 martial arts achievement points he had just obtained, and also of the hundreds of times larger monsters on Tianming Star, Su Jie had a preliminary idea in his mind.

"System, activate the [Arsenal of All Heavens]! Filtering criteria: Suitable for humans in low-energy worlds, allowing cultivation from the lowest level, not relying on elixirs, and preferably combining with hunting demonic beasts to unlock one's own potential! Price range: 1000-3000 Achievement Points!"
