One day later, Lin Yingya's pupils were dilated, bloody tears streamed from the corners of her eyes, and she was barely breathing.

At this moment, Lü Ci ordered his clansmen to use the Soul-Reading Technique to read their memories. The process went smoothly, and they found out that the number of substitute puppets was 46566.

Lin Yingya's previous idea was indeed to detonate those soul imprints after gaining her freedom, causing all the hostages to die together.

From the moment she was arrested, she knew she had no chance of escaping, but she still refused to cooperate with the Security Council and even prepared to retaliate.

Ultimately, since the younger member of the Lü family was not yet proficient in the Minghun Technique, and he himself was not confident that he could control a level 4 Awakened, he had no choice but to give up on removing all the soul imprints by possessing another's body.

After negotiations among several vice presidents, it was decided to first seal Lin Yingya with Li Qingyu's Time Amber, and then send her to the prison where awakened individuals are held, where there are two Class B mechs and six Class C mechs guarding the place, making it safe enough.

.......

June 27th, 6 PM.

Inside the Trinity Gate, Jiang Mo sat quietly in a corner on the second floor of the Sutra Repository, surrounded by a vast sea of ​​books.

He held an ancient scripture in his hand, and a tablet for accessing the dark web was on the table. He silently browsed the information provided by both, deepening his understanding of different cultivation systems around the world.

"Da...da...da..."

As footsteps echoed within the pavilion, two figures slowly approached, bowed respectfully to their teacher, and proclaimed in a clear voice:

"Greetings, Uncle-Master."

"Greetings, Uncle-Master."

Yu Huai and Lu Jin, who had been on a mission, had returned. Knowing that the two had something to ask him, Jiang Mo, remembering that there were still three days until the opening ceremony of Chixia University, which he had promised to attend, slightly raised his head, a gentle look appearing in his eyes, and couldn't help but ask:

"what happened?"

“Uncle-Master, please forgive my intrusion, but we happen to have a meeting on the 30th and would like to invite you to attend, to help us set the tone.”

Yu Huai said respectfully.

This meeting is of great importance. It was jointly invited by the Nine Ministries and the Security Council. As one of the negotiators, he naturally wanted to return and report this matter to his senior.

"Oh?"

Jiang Mo was a little curious and gestured for him to continue.

"These days, the wars in various countries overseas are almost over, and the superpower lock we developed and the brain chip from the United States are undoubtedly the most effective tools to control the rebellion of awakened people."

"Many countries, such as Russia, Japan, South Korea, the UK, France, Germany, Australia, Thailand, etc., have made requests to us to purchase a large number of supernatural locks for use in stabilizing order. The two sides are still in communication and the specific conditions are yet to be discussed."

"On the 30th, a delegation composed of the most elite superhumans and awakened individuals from various countries will attend the opening ceremony of Red Summer University and then negotiate with us."

"In addition to all the senior members of the Security Council, my senior brother Lu and I, as well as the heads of several other departments, will be attending. I thought you would be there that day, so I took the liberty of inviting you to join us in discussing national affairs and working for the well-being of the people."

Yu Huai could not hide his excitement and recounted the whole story clearly and fluently.

For a full hundred years, the once backward Celestial Empire, which suffered from being beaten and bullied, endured all kinds of humiliation, and was once on the verge of extinction, has been a nation that was once inferior to the world.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of generations who have dedicated themselves to building our motherland, it has now risen again and stands at the top of the world.

In those arduous years, artillery fire tore the earth apart, and people were displaced. All the hardships were so unforgettable that almost everyone who lived through that era will never forget them.

Jiang Mo was slightly moved. He put down the scripture in his hand, his gaze piercing through the pavilion, as if he could see the whole world of deceit and the survival of the fittest. A warm smile appeared on his lips.

"Okay... let's go take a look."

"What are your thoughts? Have you completed all the necessary preparations?"

Upon hearing his martial uncle's question, Yu Huai nodded and replied without hesitation:

"The welcoming team is ready, consisting of 6 Level 4 Awakened and 52 Level 3 Awakened, who will monitor their every word and action. The school founding ceremony will also be attended by 3 Class B mechs and 24 Class C guards. A total of 12 teachers and students will participate, and the event will be broadcast live to the whole country."

"The ten resolution members, including myself, all wanted to settle accounts with the criminals they had committed, one by one, doubly."

"As long as they sit at our negotiating table, we are the rule-makers. We have absolutely legitimate reasons and sufficient military force to scrape off all the fat, flesh, and bones that have been bloated by them until we are satisfied."

"Of course, they can also have their own choice, which is to cooperate with the United States and use their brain chip technology to govern and restrict awakened individuals within their borders."

"However, as far as I know, that thing is unstable, and they don't have ultimate control; it's with Behemoth."

"Our special ability lock currently has three versions, ordered from highest to lowest cost: network monitoring type, permanent stand-alone type, and overseas sales type."

"The simplest overseas version does not support the wearer's ability to freely unlock the ability. It has only one level, which is 100% restricted. It contains built-in explosives and biological venom. If they try to disassemble the power lock for research or replication, the micro-explosives inside will detonate prematurely."

"As for the bio-venom, it's for the wearer. As long as they leave the specific area set by the regulator, the power lock will release the venom instantly to kill them."

"The material cost and average R&D expenses for overseas projects are 2. Since the economic conditions of each country are different, we also make appropriate price adjustments accordingly."

"Due to exchange rate issues, we uniformly use the US dollar as the unit of transaction. In developed European countries, a set of superpower locks starts at 10 yuan, plus a 35% export tax. In Asian countries such as Japan, South Korea, and Thailand, it's 7 yuan, with a 30% export tax."

"In fact, due to the impact of the war, whether it is the Euro, the US Dollar, or our currency, they have all been affected and depreciated to a certain extent. The price setting is only the most basic selling condition. We have other additional conditions to harvest their resources."

As Yu Huai finished speaking, his words were full of strength and anticipation. He was fully prepared to take on the negotiations, and his brows displayed absolute confidence. He was confident that he could win this victory without bloodshed.

At this moment, Jiang Mo also recalled some distant memories. He had seen those greedy foreigners, armed with guns and cannons, strangling the lifeline of the dying dynasty, running rampant on this land, bullying the weak, and even the Qing government was protecting them and speaking up for them.

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

For those barbarians, what are etiquette, shame, and moral constraints? Might is the only truth.

They fear power, not virtue; the stronger someone is, the more afraid they become. Conversely, the mediocre and weak are the ones who would love to trample on you, use every means to humiliate, suppress, and even enslave you.

Thinking of this, Jiang Mo smiled slightly and said, "If that's the case, then go ahead and do it."

"Yu Huai, Jin'er, my senior brother and I are very proud of you."

"No need to worry. I want to see what kind of trouble those jackals and tigers can stir up. We must meet every condition and not give an inch."

"If they disagree, let them have their own headaches. After all, it's business. If we can reach an agreement, we can talk; if not, so be it. Times have changed. Now they are the ones who need to watch our faces. If they dare to cause trouble and overturn the table here, we'll fight them to the end."

Yu Huai's expression was firm, and he clasped his hands together, making a resounding promise:

"Disciple understands... I will do my utmost to maximize benefits and will never let you and Master down!"

"Uncle-Master, I am willing to stand with my junior brother through thick and thin, please rest assured."

Lu Jin also expressed her opinion from the side.

"Okay, I understand. If there's nothing else, please stay for a cup of tea before you leave."

Jiang Mo said dismissively, seemingly not taking their words to heart.

In reality, as an elder, he had watched these two children grow up, and his confidence in them was as natural as the rising and setting of the sun. They could do what they said, and even if they couldn't, he, their senior uncle, would always be there to back them up.

.........

June is almost over, and Jiang Mo's reputation in the country is growing.

His related industrial chain has emerged in endless succession, and the market demand is booming, making many merchants very rich.

Driven by them and some believers, Jiang Mo's mythology has also developed its main storyline. Based on part of his life in the last century, it incorporates elements of two major popular stories: slaying demons and helping the world. It has been compiled in a vivid and colorful way, and its popularity has soared to unprecedented heights.

By the end of the month, rumors were circulating that Jiang Mo was very likely to be the first president of Chixia University. The newly enrolled Awakened Ones were so excited that they couldn't sleep at night, all wondering which alumni would be lucky enough to enroll in his classes.

However, the rumor was debunked the next day. The truth was that it was fabricated by a netizen for sensationalism, causing many people to be disappointed.

By June 28, all faculty and students of Chixia University had completed their registration.

According to the Security Council's statistics, there are a total of 126125 people. The principal and three vice-principals are all meritorious figures from the Ninth Department. They are nearing retirement and want to make some final contributions. They are qualified enough, so they were transferred here.

The other nine deans are either Level 3 Awakeners or Grandmasters in their respective fields, all possessing considerable strength and status.

The university is divided into four years, and the teaching content focuses on four main aspects: theory, practice, development, and application, emphasizing the all-round development of awakened individuals.

Students do not need to pay tuition fees to the school; these fees are reimbursed by the state. Instead, they need to earn their living expenses by completing teaching objectives or tasks to earn rewards.

This is the first university in China to be built for people with supernatural abilities. Its standards are higher than any other prestigious university in the past, and it has a strict screening mechanism for admission.

In addition to basic cultural literacy requirements, applicants must also meet the requirements of achieving a grade B or higher in the five levels from S to D, according to the supernatural potential assessment standards issued by the Security Council, in order to be eligible for admission.

In addition, each student has a handbook of school management rules, which contains many rules that cannot be violated. Anyone who violates the rules three times within four years, regardless of grade or potential, will be expelled from school and will have to wear a special ability lock to leave the school. Unless they make a great contribution and apply to the Security Council, they will never be able to unlock it.

Once unlocked without authorization, the mortality rate is nearly 100%. The code compiled from biometric information is unique, which also means that the wearer will become abnormal data detected by the city and the coverage area of ​​the supernatural ability detection tower, and will be arrested by the Security Council immediately.

However, with nearly 30 million awakened individuals in the country, a single university is far from enough, not to mention the new drugs developed by the research department, which may transform all the people into superhumans within the next five years.

May 6, morning.

The Security Council and nine ministries passed a resolution announcing the construction plan for a second university, to be located in Shenzhen, a coastal city, and named "Yuzhuo".

Its scale is no less than that of Chixia, and the assessment of supernatural abilities for admission is no longer so strict.

As long as you meet the age requirements and pass the written test, even if you are only at the D level, you can enroll. The school's motto is "Jade must be carved to become a gem." The school's founding principle is that everyone is a piece of rough jade. With the right guidance from teachers and mentors, proper shaping, and decades of dedicated effort, they will eventually shine brightly.

It was also on this day, in the evening.

Delegations from many countries around the world arrived one after another, numbering in the hundreds. They were accommodated in hotels near Chixia University in preparation for the meetings and discussions the following day.

Chapter 368 Head-on Confrontation: Whose Ambitions Are Higher?

Nighttime, the Security Council headquarters, a modern building hundreds of meters high.

At this moment, Lu Jin, who was in the president's office on the 31st floor, received a list handed to him by Su Nian.

"Mr. Lu, take a look. The people on this list are visitors to China from various countries."

"I have sent people to gather as much intelligence as possible about them, but I have only found some. Some of it is too secretive and there are no relevant records for the time being."

"The other accompanying personnel have been under our level one supervision since entering the country. Currently, everyone is confined to the hotel and under strict control. They are being watched by the Celestial Master and several other vice presidents. They are not allowed to move around without permission until the school founding ceremony begins tomorrow."

"good....."

Lu Jin unfolded the list, his gaze slowly moving, revealing the following contents to him.

“俄:诺夫托里4,维克多米尔4,拉伊莎4,奥克坦3、艾尔乔姆3、沃尔特斯3......”

"Japan: Matsubara Managa 4, Yano Rin 4, Takeda Kenjiro 3, Takayama Munehira 3...."

“英:科林4、道格拉斯4、哈德森4、瑞恩4、迈尔斯3、莱特伊斯3、巴奈特3......”

"South Korea: Choi Hyun-bin 4, Myung Jung-woo 4, Kim Seung-hui 3, Shin Ji-cheol 3..."

The list covers twelve countries, and the basic configuration consists of two or more Level 4 Awakeners, along with several Level 3 Awakeners. Given the importance of this negotiation, which concerns the survival of their national order, the visiting Level 4 Awakeners are almost all the most capable fighters in their respective countries, including some ruthless individuals who have killed their peers.

Collin of Britain and Novtorli of Russia are typical examples.

They were among the best of the Level 4 Awakened, around 60 years old, and possessed the special abilities 'Spring of Ten Thousand Blood' and 'Eternal Night Monarch'. They had an almost overwhelming advantage over ordinary Level 4 Awakened, and the number of Level 4 rebels they had killed was more than ten.

Since the beginning of the human evolution era initiated by Behemoth in mid-March, countless elites and geniuses have been born around the world almost every day, and standing at the top of them are the infamous Level 4 Awakeners from various countries.

As the most densely populated and frequently shared information exchange hub in the world, the dark web has been tracking and recording the strongest players in various countries. Based on their achievements (70%) and the votes of dark web users (30%), a comprehensive ranking of the strongest players at the forefront of evolution is compiled.

Among them, Chen Qingxuanzun of Huaxia holds an unshakeable position at the top of the list.

Behind him is Ivis, the only awakened individual in the United States, and even the world, who is suspected of breaking through to level 5.

Only these two are certain and undisputed. Other rankings are influenced by different regional cultures, and it is difficult for people from all over the world who are considered "Outsiders" or "Awakened Ones" to maintain an objective and unified view. They are somewhat biased, but they are generally considered to be at the same level of strength.

譬如斩杀了12位4级觉醒者的陆瑾排在No.13,在国内与他齐名的两位会长,张之维No.21、魏渊铭No.27。

The leaders of the various countries' delegations visiting China this time are all ranked quite high, all within the top 50. The highest-ranked is Colin from the UK at No. 16, and the lowest-ranked is Choi Hyun-bin from South Korea at No. 48.

After reviewing the list, Lu Jin had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

There were over 300 visitors, including 28 Level 4 Awakened Ones, and the followers were all Level 3 Formations. The scale of the event was truly luxurious, indicating that a great deal of money had been spent.

"Buzz!"

Just as Lu Jin was pondering the content of tomorrow's negotiations, the miniature computer at her fingertips trembled slightly and emitted a pleasant ringtone.

Not only him, but Su Nianlin also received the notification.

A top official from the Ninth Department invited the 10 presidents and vice presidents of the Security Council to a final discussion to finalize all the negotiation details and related work arrangements.

.........

The next day.

The moment that will capture the attention of millions is just around the corner; the opening ceremony of Chixia University is scheduled for 9:00 AM.

The spacious and magnificent square was packed with 120,000 teachers and students, who lined up in an orderly fashion. A statue as tall as a mountain stood there, gazing at the sky, sacred and majestic.

In the center of the square, a clear and surging pool is carved out, in which lie six stone statues of the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Hooked Chen, Teng Snake, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise. They are full of spirituality and lifelike, and were carved by the most skilled master in the country. Just by looking at them, one can personally feel their magnificent momentum that covers mountains and rivers and reigns supreme over the world.

In addition, there are 38 coiled dragon stone pillars, as white as frost, with the names of the 3 presidents, 7 vice presidents, and 28 members of the Security Council left behind.

The brushstrokes, sharp as a sword's edge, fell with vigor and freedom, admired by teachers, students, and viewers outside the live broadcast.

The most eye-catching and exciting thing for countless citizens was the eight Class B mechs standing like gods in the square.

Every part of them perfectly embodies the essence of design aesthetics, each with its own unique expression, as if they were creations that do not belong to this era at all.
