Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

"Pang Long, keep pretending! Why did you stop?"

That nasty voice rang out again, and Xiang Ning swaggered over;

Mao Rui looked regretful: "Tsk tsk, 500,000 military merits;"

Honestly, if I were you, I'd find a cool place to die right now...

"Hey~ don't talk about Fatty like that;"

"It's just 500,000 military merits, what's that to the Pang family?" Xiang Ning put his arm around Mao Rui's shoulder and said frankly, "If they're lucky, their old man could earn that back in a decade or so of fighting on the front lines."

Mao Rui asked in a cooperative tone, "What if we're unlucky?"

Xiang Ning waved his hand and said boldly, "What should we do? Let's have a grand and spectacular celebration!"

"Tsk, then we'll have to give a gift later..."

Watching the two of them working together, Pang Long clenched his fist and forced out two words through gritted teeth: "Xiang Ning!"

"I'm so annoyed!"

"Hey, even at a time like this, you still have time to bare your teeth at me?"

"Looks like the punishment was too lenient..."

Pang Long took a deep breath; he really couldn't do anything about Xiang Ning and Mao Rui.

Others may be slightly less capable than him, but their family background is in no way inferior.

He stared intently at Chu Yuan and said, "I'll remember you!"

Chu Yuan's expression changed: "You don't mean to kill me, do you?"

"Heh~"

"...Do you still want to take revenge on everyone connected to me?"

"I......"

Just as Pang Long was about to speak, someone behind him quietly nudged him with a finger and whispered, "Brother Long... don't say anything! He already killed several family members during the last secret realm trial..."

Even Ma Chengye of the Ma family in Mochen Prefecture died at his hands.

"So what? The Pang family cannot suffer such a huge loss without any explanation!" Pang Long's face was gloomy as he looked at Chu Yuan and said, "Five hundred thousand military merits, your life is really precious..."

"Chu Yuan, he threatened you?"

Chu Yuan shook his head: "Then what can I do..."

He pulled out the Zhenwu Token from his pocket and said worriedly, "I hope the Zhenwu Bureau can stand up for me..."

Pang Long stared at the small token, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

"Chu Yuan!!"

"Commander Zheng! Pang Long is threatening me! He has admitted that the Pang family will target me, I'm going to report him!" Chu Yuan shouted.

The short-haired youth reappeared, looking at Pang Long with a half-smile: "Unrepentant, threatening the holder of the Zhenwu Token, your crime is compounded!"

The amount of military merit confiscated will be doubled!

Pang Long said anxiously, "Commander Zheng! No! Let me explain!"

However, Commander Zheng still didn't give him a chance to speak and disappeared again;

"Chu Yuan! How dare you betray me!!"

Chu Yuan innocently replied, "I didn't! Did I force you to say you were going to kill me? I didn't..."

Xiang Ning became even more gloating: "Longlong, you little rascal, Grandpa Pang really didn't spoil you for nothing!"

Mao Rui feigned envy: "One million! Chu Yuan, your life has appreciated in value!"

Some people had no concept of military merit and asked blankly, "Is one million military merits a lot?"

This kind of person thinks there's nothing a martial arts family can't do, so why does Pang Long seem like the sky has fallen?

"Let me put it this way, you can't even find a single military merit to repay these days..."

Military merits and the Zhenwu Bureau's merits are interchangeable. Whether you want to exchange them for martial arts techniques, equipment, or any other martial arts resources... lower-level items can be purchased with ordinary currency, but higher-level items can only be purchased with military merits!

The only way to obtain military merit is through strategic actions on the battlefield, such as killing or destroying other races!

Chu Yuan is not yet clear on how difficult it is to obtain military merits, but he knows that even the blood beast clan's inheritance... is only worth one million Zhenwu Bureau merits!

In other words, Pang Long's boasting... directly cost him the inheritance of an entire clan?

Of course, the calculation methods may not be that simple; this is just for comparison...

"Invincible spirit...tsk~"

"You are truly invincible, child."

"......"

Pang Long desperately wanted to leave this place immediately, but he couldn't;

Many of the valuable resources provided in the Jianmu Project are not easy for even the Pang family to obtain.

The losses are already heavy; abandoning the construction plan would only make matters worse!

Now there's only one path left: to achieve sufficient gains from the Wood-Building Project...

"Brother Long... don't bother with them." The boy behind him offered a weak and ineffective consolation.

Pang Long didn't speak, and closed his eyes;

But then Chu Yuan came over again...

"What else do you want to do?!" Pang Long said grimly, a sense of unease rising in his heart.

Could it be that Chu Yuan felt he wasn't satisfied with just tricking him? Was he still going to take action...?

But at this point, he at least understood that he was no match for Chu Yuan...

But Chu Yuan ignored him and looked at the boy behind Pang Long, asking, "Where's Tian Tian?"

He had felt that this person looked familiar before, and after thinking for a moment, he remembered that he seemed to be with Tian Tian in the Seventh Secret Realm. They came from the same place!

He hadn't seen Tian Tian while queuing, and he assumed she was just late.

Only now did he realize... that Tian Tian might really be in trouble!

Given the opponent's Inner Breath Realm strength, it's impossible that he couldn't pass the selection process;

But he didn't come today...

"I...I don't know!" The boy looked flustered, his expression full of lies;

Chu Yuan pressed down on his shoulder, gradually increasing the pressure: "Don't know? Let me think about it for you?"

"Chu Yuan! This is the training base! You...you mustn't do anything reckless!" Cold sweat seeped from his forehead, and the sound of bones cracking could be heard;

"Still can't remember?"

"Brother Long! Help me!"

Pang Long hardened his heart and pretended not to hear anything...

A genuine killing intent enveloped the boy, making him feel as if he had returned to the Seventh Secret Realm, where he was surrounded and hunted by blood beasts!

It was as if a giant beast had already bared its ferocious fangs at him!

His voice was already trembling with tears: "Chu Yuan... I, I really don't know!"

I just heard... I heard she broke the law! She was arrested by the Zhenwu Bureau...

I really don't know anything else!

"The Zhenwu Bureau?" Chu Yuan frowned. He didn't quite believe that Tian Tian could have broken any laws.

She is very smart; she knows what she can and cannot do.

But... Tian Tian clearly had his terminal number, so why didn't she ask him for help?

"Is it related to the Pang family?"

"I really don't know... please let me go..."

Pang Long remained silent, and his divine sense monitoring detected nothing unusual.

Chu Yuan seemed to be deep in thought. It seemed that this matter had nothing to do with the Pang family... or at least with Pang Long.

The Reverse Fate Divine Art was activated, and a faint summons came from one direction;

The next moment, with a burst of golden light, Chu Yuan's figure vanished...

Liu Yun walked over at some point, her tone complicated, and said, "He's already so strong, yet he still tries to steal our food..."

Xiang Ning rolled her eyes: "Would you complain about eating too much?"

"No..." Liu Yun murmured thoughtfully, then suddenly asked, "Is he already a direct subordinate of the Zhenwu Bureau?"

Xiang Ning nodded: "Yes, I heard that Elder Wei has already accepted him as his disciple."

So, his last weakness has been overcome... Liu Yun lowered her eyes; she could almost see Chu Yuan soaring to great heights...
