We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

Shen Bailian frowned slightly as he looked at Chen Yifei and Su Ruozhi, who were standing there in a daze.

He was never very clear about how to distribute the spoils of war, for a simple reason: he was used to being a lone wolf and would keep any precious cultivation resources to himself.

There's no need to worry about how to allocate the resources.

Although his current physical attributes have reached level 25.9, and with the added benefit of the skill [Iron Body], ordinary third-tier rare and precious materials have little effect on him.

As for fourth-tier natural treasures?

The gap between a martial artist at the Opening Sea Realm and one at the Embracing Moon Realm is as vast as an insurmountable chasm.

The difference between third-tier and fourth-tier natural treasures is similar; the price of a third-tier natural treasure is often less than one hundred million Da Xia coins.

When it comes to fourth-tier rare and precious materials, the unit of measurement becomes "hundred million".

Furthermore, the slightly more effective ones are all controlled by the Great Xia government. Obtaining them is simple: just earn military merits along the Great Xia border.

However, on the border of the Great Xia Dynasty, let alone a mere Sea Opening Realm warrior, even a Moon Embracing Realm expert cannot guarantee their safety 100%.

There is a possibility of falling at any time.

This is why Shen Bailian's ability to enhance the martial arts potential of others has caused a great stir in the entire martial arts world of Great Xia.

This is also one of the important reasons.

Martial arts potential is of paramount importance to a martial artist.

Back to the original topic.

Although the Golden Dragon Scale Fruit Tree is only at the third tier, due to its medicinal properties, its effects in enhancing physical strength and physical qualities are comparable to some extremely precious fourth-tier natural treasures.

Even the effects of some fifth-tier rare and precious herbs cannot compare to it.
Because the Heavenly Medicine grows in rootless water, just like a martial artist's spiritual power resides in the void within the Niwan Palace, it can enhance a martial artist's spiritual power in the same way when improving physical fitness levels.

Both are progressing in tandem.

Furthermore, the most precious aspect of the Heavenly Medicine is that it can bestow different talents upon the user depending on the type of Heavenly Medicine.

If it's a Golden Dragon Scale Fruit Tree, it's highly likely to be associated with physical constitution or scale-type talents, but regardless of the type, it's an exceptionally precious existence.

"Hey!" Su Ruozhi was the first to snap out of his daze. Seeing Chen Yifei still in a daze, he didn't care about anything else and kicked him directly.

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant." Chen Yifei stumbled, noticing Shen Bailian's furrowed brows. Forgetting about arguing with Su Ruozhi, he quickly said:

"President, what we mean is that we should each take 10% of the herbal medicine, while you, Chairman, should take 90%. That's in accordance with the rules."

The price of a single celestial herb is at least 500 million Great Xia coins. The two of them only managed to gather some information, and that information was extremely vague.

The risks involved are even more difficult to predict.

In Chen Yifei and Su Ruozhi's original plan, they would have been satisfied if they could have obtained 10% of the profits.

This is equivalent to indirectly obtaining 50 million Xia coins.

Of course, neither of them would waste such a precious resource.

They would never put the cart before the horse and so easily sell off their future martial arts potential of 50 million Great Xia coins; otherwise, they would become a laughing stock in the entire Tiangang Academy.

"Ten percent?" Shen Bailian shook his head, looked at Chen Yifei and the other person, smiled, and said, "Ten percent is really too little. If outsiders knew, they would think I was abusing my power."

Intelligence is of paramount importance in any era.

Those who obtain intelligence first are often able to gain the upper hand.

In the stock market, whoever obtains reliable intelligence first can make a fortune; in war, whichever side obtains intelligence about the enemy, with sufficient strength, can turn the tide of battle with minimal effort.

Without Chen Yifei and his companion risking their lives to obtain information about the Golden Dragon Scale Fruit Tree, the vast territory of the Great Xia Dynasty would have been equivalent to the total land area of ​​all landmasses before the New Era.

To search for a rare herb whose influence extends only a few dozen miles within such a vast area is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Idiot's dream!

"It's too high, too high. If you do this, Senior Brother..." Chen Yifei and Su Ruozhi wanted to continue to refuse, but they were interrupted by Shen Bailian halfway through their sentences.

"Stop arguing, it's just a small problem."

Shen Bailian looked at the two stubborn people and felt a headache coming on. In his current view, it was just a third-order celestial herb. If it were a fourth-order celestial herb, he might be a little "greedy", but unfortunately it wasn't.

"The allocation of this celestial herb was decided by Teacher Duan, so if either of you has any questions, you can consult Teacher Duan."

To stop the two from arguing, Shen Bailian simply brought up Duan Wuyai.

The results were surprisingly good.

After hearing that it was Duan Wuyai who decided how to distribute the spoils, Chen Yifei and Su Ruozhi looked at each other for a moment and then fell silent.

This is tantamount to tacitly accepting this statement.

Although Su Ruozhi vaguely sensed that Shen Bailian was deceiving the two of them, and he was indeed right, he would never ask Duan Wuyai about it.

Whether they were deliberately confused or simply lacked courage, this incident only brought benefits to both of them, and no harm whatsoever.

"Alright, that's settled then." Shen Bailian looked at their performance, nodded in satisfaction, and continued, "After the profit sharing, where would you like to send it?"

"School!"

"At home!"

Chen Yifei and Su Ruozhi answered in unison as if they were on the same wavelength, but their answers were different; the former was Chen Yifei's answer, and the latter was Su Ruozhi's answer.

"Mm." Shen Bailian nodded.

He naturally knew some of the reasons behind their different answers.

Chen Yifei's family is only a moderately well-off family, and he is currently the strongest person in the world. Therefore, if the Heavenly Medicine were in his own hands, it would be like a child holding gold in the marketplace.

Therefore, Tiangang Academy is currently the strongest safe haven for him, and it is the best choice to fully absorb the Heavenly Medicine while at the school.

As for Su Ruozhi, he has some family wealth, his family has certain ties with the military, and there are also martial artists in his family who are at the Opening Sea Realm.

His father, Su Chenhai, was a martial arts student in the first few years of the Tiangang Academy. In other words, his father was his senior brother.

Ordinary martial artists would never dare to attack Su Ruozhi. With his father protecting him at home, absorbing the celestial medicine at home was the best option for him.

"It should take about three days. During these few days, both of you shouldn't overexert yourselves. Take good care of yourselves and adjust your condition so you can absorb the celestial medicine in the best possible way." Shen Bailian patted their shoulders and smiled.
"For the past six months, I've troubled the two managers to help maintain the club. This time, I'll take over."

……

Time passes bit by bit.

Another day and night quickly passed. Forty-eight hours had passed since the martial arts students of Tiangang Academy climbed the walls of Hulao Pass, and now less than 30% of them were still standing on the plain.

The rankings for each department's points were released more than an hour ago.

To be precise, the rankings on the overall points leaderboard were determined an hour after Shen Bailian made his move.

The four academies stand out from the rest, with the points earned by one academy exceeding the combined points of the other five combat academies.

The difference is just that dramatic.

And in front of the city wall of Hulao Pass.

On the once vast and boundless black earth, many pitted wounds reappeared, and red, green, and foul-smelling blood formed winding trails that converged to form a lake.

Such scenes are common throughout the hundreds of miles of desolate wilderness before Hulao Pass.

"Tread! Tread! Tread!"

Wang Hai was covered in bright red armor, holding a flamethrower in his hand. With a flick of the switch, a tongue of fire burst forth, instantly engulfing an area of ​​several dozen square meters in front of him.

"Rustle... rustle... hiss!"

Amidst the subtle sounds, the remains of ferocious beasts and pools of foul-smelling blood turned into ashes and wisps of white mist drifted into the air.

About ten minutes later...

The original remains of the ferocious beast, and the foul-smelling pool of blood, had all vanished in the flames of thousands of degrees, leaving only a pool of black ash.

"Whoo~"

"This is truly inhuman work." Despite the air filtration system, the prolonged battle had caused Wang Hai to experience a temporary allergic reaction—a psychological allergy. Even just seeing it made him feel nauseous. After a moment, he sighed:
"However, this is also the job that suits me best."

Wang Hai looked up and gazed ahead.

The sky was filled with lingering clouds, and the thick, leaden clouds had developed cracks, just like the cracks appearing on the once vast and boundless earth.

Golden sunlight pierced through the gaps in the leaden clouds, like golden pillars fallen from the land of the gods to the mortal realm, through which dust could be seen swirling and dancing before settling on the black earth.

Looking further into the distance, Wang Hai could still see that the ferocious beast that once towered like a mountain had now transformed into a real mountain, stretching across the black earth like a black mountain.

Amidst this devastated landscape, figures can be seen moving about in and on the Black Mountain. Occasionally, they may encounter ferocious beasts that are not yet completely extinct, which may suddenly rise up and attempt to ambush them.

however.

"laugh!"

Clean and efficient, a single shot kills.

A hole the size of a thumb appeared instantly on the forehead of the ferocious beast's massive head, and a golden beam of light could be seen through the hole, clearly indicating that it had been completely pierced.

The man looked at the ferocious beast that had been shot down by the laser gun, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes. He then turned his back and continued searching for anything useful.

During this period, since the ferocious beast tide had been completely repelled and the goals of those favored by the gods had been achieved, they naturally would no longer waste their divine power to maintain the Bronze Domain, the Mortal Domain, and a series of other domains that prohibited technological weapons.

Just a few seconds.

The beast that had already fallen had most of its body turned into a pool of green water, bubbling and gurgling, clearly indicating that it was not as simple as it seemed.

Seeing this, Wang Hai withdrew his gaze, sighed softly, and muttered resentfully to himself, "What a waste! What a waste!"

He wasn't referring to the person who killed the ferocious beast earlier, but rather to those favored by the gods.

These ferocious beasts are actually cannon fodder cultivated by the gods for the purpose of raising poisonous insects; they are not ferocious beasts that grow and develop naturally in the wild.

For those favored by the gods, the advantage of these ferocious beasts is that they take shape extremely quickly.

Within just a few months, a single mother nest can breed hundreds of thousands of first- and second-tier ferocious beasts, which can be raised on a large scale by humans.

Furthermore, those divine favored ones implanted a special gene into these ferocious beasts produced by the mother nest. Once they are killed, a part of their bodies will quickly turn into poisonous pus.

If an ordinary martial artist were to come into contact with it, they would either need to be taken to the medical pod or die instantly.

Furthermore, by solidifying the rules, this gene has become an innate talent of the mother nest beasts. Only a very few beasts, due to the strength of their bloodline and the influence of recessive genes, can avoid this phenomenon.

Therefore, although a wave of ferocious beasts may kill hundreds of thousands of beasts, very few of them can be used as resources, and a large amount of resources are needed to clean up the battlefield.

Fortunately, this kind of pus is quite sensitive to high temperatures, even those of several thousand degrees.

It was inconvenient to clean up this pus during wartime, but after the war, when the area dissipated, cleaning it up was much faster using technological means.

"However," Wang Hai thought, and his mood improved slightly. Looking around, he immediately spotted the person working diligently like a bee, and remarked with admiration:
"I never expected that the senior brother, who looks unapproachable, would be so enthusiastic. Even though he had already reached the maximum score, he still had the energy to help clean up the battlefield after the battle."

"Truly worthy of being the senior brother."

enthusiastic?

How could I not be enthusiastic?
These remains of ferocious beasts are all like cash cows for Shen Bailian!
Even if these ferocious beasts are not from nature, but rather mass-produced products from the mother nest, divine substances still exist in their bloodline.

Water accumulates to form a deep pool, and soil accumulates to form a mountain.

The number of ferocious beasts here is not counted in individuals, but in tens of thousands. Even if they turn into pus, the divine substance within them will not turn into pus.

therefore.

Shen Bailian moved swiftly across the battlefield after the tide of ferocious beasts receded, clearing away their remains while his Divine Eye swept across the battlefield. Once he spotted a beast that still had some life force remaining, he would unleash a mental attack on it.

Then he immediately moved to the side of the ferocious beast, and bursts of scorching flames erupted from it.

All of a sudden.

[Divine matter detected, purifying it, current progress 1%...]

In the blink of an eye.

[The purification of divine matter is complete!]

[Congratulations, your divine matter has been increased; divine matter +1]

【…】

[Congratulations, your divine matter has been increased; divine matter +1]

One message notification after another flashed before Shen Bailian's eyes at an extremely fast speed, and the smile on his face became even more radiant, just like an old farmer who had a great harvest.

Because the divine matter that was originally reduced to only three digits has now increased to five digits again, and there is still enough room for it to grow.

Shen Bailian gazed intently at everything before him; it was entirely a ground covered in divine matter! (End of Chapter)
