The spell's range covers the entire territory of China? Hand it over to the state.

In the Kunlun underground command center, time rewinds slightly to the moment Su Yun unleashed his skill.

On the giant holographic screen, the image suddenly froze.

One second, everyone saw the terrifying Wind Demon Wolf King open its blood-red maw, only centimeters from Zhao Gang's nose; the next second, the scene froze on that frame. The wolf's mouth was half-open, saliva dangling in the air, its claws off the ground, Zhao Gang's eyes tightly closed, everything like a Blu-ray movie that had been paused.

"What happened? The signal's down?"

A colonel in charge of communications, his face ashen, asked, "Was it an EMP? Has the front line been hit by an EMP attack? Communications squad! Switch to the backup line immediately!"

The lieutenant colonel in charge of technical maintenance nearby had cold sweat dripping down his forehead as his hands flew across the keyboard: "Line self-test normal, no frame drops in data packet transmission, latency only 4 milliseconds... This is illogical! If the signal wasn't interrupted, how could the screen freeze?"

He even subconsciously bent down to check the physical connectors under the table, fearing that he might have loosened the network cable in his excitement. This thought was utterly absurd, but at this moment, it seemed more reasonable to him than the "time freeze" that was happening before his eyes.

The atmosphere in the hall was already tense, but now it was filled with even more shock and panic. If it wasn't a signal failure, it meant that the front lines wouldn't even have had a chance to send back the last images; all the recording equipment had been destroyed in that instant.

It’s over.

This was the thought that flashed through everyone's mind.

Are we not even going to let them know the final result?

"Wait...no, that's not right!"

A voice suddenly rang out.

Zhou Weimin's gaze was fixed on a split screen in front of him.

"No lag! The video is perfectly smooth!"

"Switch the telemetry data to the main screen! Quickly!"

Following Zhou Weimin's instructions, a series of dazzling real-time waveforms instantly popped up on the left side of the main screen.

The red waveform is jumping wildly, representing an extremely high energy response, like an out-of-control electrocardiogram.

"If all the monitoring equipment were destroyed, the vital signs of these monsters should be static lines or zero. But look—"

Zhou Weimin pointed to the red curve that was almost bursting through the top of the screen and said incredulously, "This wolf king's heart rate is as high as 400 beats per minute, and the wind element energy reaction in its body has reached its peak. This is its physiological state when it sprints at full power! It's moving! It's outputting kinetic energy at maximum power!"

"Then why isn't it moving?" The scarred general stared at the bull-like creature with wide eyes. "That beast has been hanging in mid-air for half a minute, and not a drop of drool has fallen!"

"That's the problem!"

"Because its displacement speed is only... 0.01 meters per second."

Zhou Weimin felt that his worldview was being rubbed into the ground by some unreasonable force.

This speed is like an engine roaring, the accelerator floored, the wheels spinning and smoking, but the car only travels 36 meters per hour. An old lady pushing a wheelchair to buy groceries is ten times faster.

And it's not just that!

Zhou Weimin quickly retrieved panoramic thermal images of the entire Luofengpo battlefield.

Thousands upon thousands of red dots, which had converged like a cascading flood, were now all frozen in place. Each red dot was burning fiercely and struggling madly, but their ability to traverse space had been forcibly stripped away by some domineering rule.

"This is not a physical deceleration."

Zhou Weimin looked up, his gaze blank as he stared at the boy in the center of the hall: "This is taking the concept of 'sports' out of them."

Upon hearing Zhou Weimin's words, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Su Yun.

Although they had long known that Su Yun was powerful, they still found it incredible when the moment arrived.

Su Yun stood still, facing the stares of the bigwigs in the room who looked at him like he was a monster, and simply pushed up his glasses.

"Minister Zhou, the data is correct."

"Through my innate ability 'territory is territory,' the 'swamp totem' has undergone a qualitative change."

Su Yun raised his finger and pointed to the wolf king on the screen who was still "striving" in this frame.

"It wanted to move; its muscles were working, its energy was exploding. But this land rejected it."

"The air doesn't want it to pass through, gravity doesn't want it to lift its legs, and even the dust under its feet is pulling at its toenails. Within this range, anything deemed a 'hostile' target requires the effort of running a marathon just to blink."

"This is what I mean by 'difficult to move an inch.' Literally, it means being honest and fair to everyone, young and old."

The voice just fell.

The image on the screen finally changed.

It wasn't the wolf king who made the move, but Zhao Gang.

In the scene, the one-armed man seemed to have pressed the fast-forward button, his battle knife drawing a smooth silver streak. Before him, the wolf king, playing in slow motion, looked like a clumsy actor eagerly stretching out his neck to cooperate in the performance.

puff.

Blood splattered.

Only then did the wolf king's terrified eyes begin to move; it seemed that even the transmission of pain signals had not yet reached its brain.

This was a massacre that was on a completely different level.

"good!!"

A cheer rang out.

The scarred general abruptly ripped off his military cap and slammed it onto the table. His face was flushed, and his chest heaved violently.

"Good kill! Damn it! Weren't you running so fast just now? Run! Keep running! Why are you lying there like a turtle?!"

As he continued cursing, the towering man suddenly turned around and strode up to Su Yun.

His body, a head taller than Su Yun, exuded an imposing aura. But his next move surprised everyone.

He raised his large hand and slapped Su Yun's shoulder hard, so hard that Su Yun grimaced.

"Brother Su Yun! No, Master Su!"

"That was some kind of incredible technique! This isn't some kind of totem; it's practically the Book of Life and Death of the King of Hell! He can say who can move and who can lie down and who has to lie down!"

"After this battle is over, if you don't mind, I, Old Li, will personally be your bodyguard! And if anyone dares to question your skills after that, I'll be the first to slap them across the face!"

Su Yun rubbed his numb shoulder, laughing and crying at the same time, "General Li, you flatter me. As long as the brothers on the front lines shed less blood, my efforts will not have been in vain."

Seeing this, Qin Shuangyue couldn't help but smile, never expecting that General Li would have such a side.

However, it's not just about less bleeding.

A glint of admiration flashed in her eyes. As the youngest female general in China, she was naturally aware of Su Yun's strategic value.

Zhou Weimin also came over at this time. He had recovered his composure from the initial shock, but at the same time, he suddenly felt a little guilty.

If I hadn't questioned Su Yun and instead chose to trust him unconditionally, allowing Su Yun to unleash his skill a few minutes earlier, perhaps many fewer warriors would have died.

So he said to Long Yi, "Commander, because of my misjudgment and obstruction, the front line has suffered huge losses. I request to resign from my position as Minister of the Strategic Staff."

Everyone was shocked to hear this, and Su Yun was also surprised, not expecting Zhou Weimin to be able to do this.

Long Yi paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Since you asked for it yourself, let's leave it at that for now."

Zhou Weimin immediately felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders.

He watched the one-sided battlefield situation on the screen—the infantry battalion, which was originally doomed, was now using those arrogant high-level alien beasts as wooden stakes for assassination practice.

He said to Su Yun:

"Comrade Su Yun, you should also realize what your skill means for modern warfare."

"This is a dimensional reduction attack. A complete and unreasonable rule-based sanction. With you there, all that blitzkrieg and high-mobility infiltration becomes a joke. Just by standing there, the enemy's fighter jets are like iron coffins hanging in the sky, and the enemy's tanks are like scrap metal lying in craters."

At this point, Zhou Weimin exclaimed excitedly to Long Yi, "Commander, this is not just a tactical victory. This is strategic deterrence, a deterrent that surpasses even nuclear weapons!"

Long Yi nodded slightly.

The weariness on the old man's face vanished, replaced by an unprecedented sense of pride and confidence.

He looked at Su Yun, his eyes filled with relief and joy.

I knew I hadn't misjudged him; a new era for China is dawning!

Then his expression turned serious. "Pass down the order: the 7th Army Group is to launch a full-scale counter-offensive! Heavy armored units, push forward! Since Comrade Su Yun has immobilized the monsters for us, if we still can't achieve a decisive victory, then let that army commander come and offer his head!"

"yes!"

The messenger straightened his back and shouted an octave higher than usual.

As the order was given, the entire command center began operating at full speed like a sophisticated war machine. Staff officers rushed around relaying data, and communications personnel shouted themselves hoarse to call the front lines. Every face was filled with an almost frenzied joy. It was the relief of surviving a disaster, and even more so, the cathartic release of long-suppressed resentment.

Who could have imagined? What was originally a certain death trap turned into a one-sided slaughter feast in the blink of an eye. In this kind of sure-win, lucrative battle, even a cook carrying a large pot could grab a ladle and rush in to smash the skulls of two monstrous beasts.

However, just as everyone was basking in the joy that the situation was under control and believed that the tremors would stop tonight, the situation was not yet resolved.

"Report!!"

The lieutenant colonel in charge of the "Sky Eye" nationwide surveillance system suddenly stood up, so quickly that he knocked over the chair behind him.

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat; the relief they had just felt was replaced by anxiety.

General Li's eyebrows shot up: "What now? Are there moving monsters on Falling Phoenix Slope?"

"It's not Luofengpo."

Seeing the serious expressions on everyone's faces, the lieutenant colonel quickly said, "It's the entire national border! Just now, at the same moment Comrade Su Yun activated his skill, we received abnormal reports from several border outposts in the East China Sea, the Northern Frontier, and the South!"

The images on the large screen changed instantly.

The original large screen was split into twelve small windows.

Each window corresponds to a sensitive point on the long border of the Longxia Kingdom.

"This is the East China Sea Air Defense Identification Zone, located 30 nautical miles from the territorial sea baseline," the lieutenant colonel said, pointing to the upper left corner of the screen.

In the pitch-black night sky, radar lights flickered.

"Two US F-22 Raptor fighter jets were conducting close-in reconnaissance along our airspace line. They often do this, and we're used to escorting and driving them away. But..."

The lieutenant colonel swallowed hard. "Just a minute ago, the speed readings of these two aircraft... dropped to zero."

Return to zero?

Even Long Yi was stunned.

If an airplane comes to rest in the air, doesn't that mean it's crashing?

"They didn't crash!" The lieutenant colonel retrieved long-range satellite images.

High in the sky, at an altitude of ten thousand meters, two stealth fighters, representing the pinnacle of human industrial technology, looked like two plastic models frozen in ice. They maintained their supersonic cruise posture, blue flames still shooting from their exhaust nozzles, and the aerodynamic design of their wings still functioning.

But they just don't move.

It neither flies forward nor falls down.

It's like someone pressed the pause button on a remote control.

The camera zooms in, even through the canopy, revealing the pilot inside wearing an oxygen mask, his hand reaching for the ejection pin, but the movement is slowed down infinitely. His expression is frozen in a moment of extreme terror; his eyes seem to want to move, but are as if stuck in glue.

"And here too." The lieutenant colonel pointed to another window.

That was a snow-covered plain in northern Xinjiang.

Infrared thermal imaging revealed a seven-man tactical team, fully armed, lying in ambush 100 meters inside the border marker. Judging from their sophisticated individual exoskeletons and specialized firearms, they were clearly not ordinary smugglers, but rather top-tier international mercenaries hired for a fee, attempting to infiltrate and sabotage or steal intelligence while Longxia Kingdom was preoccupied with dealing with the beast tide.

At this moment.

The seven men remained in a tactical prone position, each with their buttocks sticking out in the snow.

The wind and snow howled around them, but as soon as the snowflakes got close to their bodies, they would slow down dramatically, as if even the inanimate snowflakes were rejecting these uninvited guests and refusing to land on them.

"East China Sea, Northern Frontier, Southern Border..."

The lieutenant colonel's voice grew increasingly louder, "Any hostile target that is currently, without authorization, within our territory, territorial waters, or airspace, whether it is a person, an aircraft, or a ship..."

"Stop all operations!"

"Coverage area...the entire territory!"

boom!

This statement was like a hydrogen bomb with a displacement of ten million tons, silently exploding in the command center.

Everyone, including Long Yi, turned to stare at the boy standing under the big screen.

It's amazing that every skill actually covers the entire territory of China!

In addition, it ignores distance and employs conceptual attacks.

This clearly goes beyond the scope of strategic deterrence; it's a matter of divine authority at the level of rules!

Zhou Weimin's mind raced through various tactical scenarios, finally arriving at a conclusion that sent chills down his spine:

Traditional war theories have completely collapsed today.

As long as Su Yun stands on the land of Longxia, this 960 million square kilometer territory will truly be a forbidden zone for foreign enemies.

Stealth fighter penetration, hypersonic missile strikes, elite special forces infiltration...

In front of this man, everyone is a joke! Everyone is a clown!

If you come here, you have to stand in the corner as punishment; if you move even a little, I'll admit defeat.

"Is this what you meant by making a bit too much noise?" Zhou Weimin couldn't help but ask.

Su Yun scratched his head: "They are indeed a bit too big. Minister Zhou, this isn't considered a violation of regulations, is it? Those two F-22s are constantly spewing fire but not cooling down; their engines are definitely going to burn out soon. If they crash and break, and the US federal government asks us for compensation, we won't have to pay, right?"

pay?

General Li almost burst out laughing.

Pay me a cent!

Now, those countries that have been eyeing Longxia covetously all day long are probably going to be terrified!

Long Yi also looked deeply at Su Yun, his eyes filled with barely concealed excitement.

Fortunately, this child is from Longxia. Fortunately, the nation chose to stand behind him.

"It's not against the rules," Long Yi said slowly. "Just like you said, all land under heaven belongs to the king."

"It's unreasonable to come to someone's house as a guest and leave without saying hello."

Long Yi turned around and ordered, "Record these images for me. I want the whole world to see them at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' regular press conference tomorrow morning."

"We in Longxia don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either."
