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

"...There is an old saying in the Great Xia Dynasty: 'When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it first tests their will and strengthens their body...'"

I know that young man in black robes who is giving a passionate speech, and we are quite familiar with each other.

That man's name was Fang Wenshan, and he was the president of the Fang Group in the Northern Territory.

The statement that Fang Wenshan is a young man is not entirely accurate. A more accurate description would be that he is an old man in a black robe.

Because the other party and Si Bu Hui were from the same era and were both martial arts prodigies.

However, compared to Fang Wenshan, Si Bu Hui has higher martial arts talent and is also quite lucky. So, with enough resources to nurture him, he successfully broke through to the Divine Palace Realm.

The other party's talent was merely that of an ordinary martial arts prodigy, but he was born into a good family.

Despite this, Fang Wenshan is still only a mid-stage martial artist at the Embracing Moon Realm.

Over the years, the influence of mid-stage Moon Embracing Realm martial artists in the Great Xia Dynasty has diminished, and this influence will continue to decline with the changing times.

However, Vincent Fang is an exception.

In the last ten years or so, Fang Wenshan suddenly made some secret deal with someone and became the head of the Mingguang Society in Daxia.

Therefore, in less than twenty years, the Fang Group transformed from a local, family-run business group in the Northern Territory into a multi-faceted business group involved in real estate, finance, martial arts, and more.

And according to some accurate information,
Fang Wenshan has played a significant role in the spread of various rumors about Shen Bailian online during this period.

How do you know that you'd rather die than regret it?

the reason is simple.

In Great Xia, and even throughout the world, anyone using the internet cannot escape the tracking of Great Xia's physical intelligence center.

Fang Wenshan was well aware of this, so he did not try to conceal his intentions when spreading information and repeatedly used his Star Alliance account to publish related information.

When the brain's central nervous system is investigated in the middle of summer, it is naturally much easier.

Therefore, the moment he heard Fang Wenshan's voice, Si Bu Hui immediately sobered up and his vigilance was raised to the highest level.

However, for some reason, Xiong Kuohai sensed something unusual about Si Bu Hui's unusual demeanor.

I was actually a little excited.

'Could this be my imagination?' A thought suddenly flashed through Xiong Kuohai's mind, but his attention was quickly drawn to Fang Wen.

Based on his understanding of Vincent Fang, he believed that this was the time to deliver the key information.

"The greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people; with great power comes great responsibility." After a few minutes of passionate speech, Vincent Fang was completely caught up in the moment. He didn't know if others were inspired, but he was certainly inspired by himself.

"I believe that all of you, esteemed elders, and colleagues, have already learned about the relevant information regarding Shen Bailian after this period of fermentation."

His martial arts talent is truly unprecedented; even top martial arts prodigies struggle to describe his genius. We should all be proud that Great Xia has such a new generation, but…” Fang Wenshan suddenly changed the subject, pushing up his eye sockets with his middle and index fingers, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"What we should value more is not their martial arts talent, but their methods for enhancing the martial arts potential of others. If we can promote and popularize these methods, do you, my esteemed guests, seniors, and colleagues, know what that means?"

Before the representatives could react, Fang Wenshan suddenly raised his hands, his emotions so intense that he uncontrollably used his Yuan Power to amplify his voice, passionately asking and answering himself:
"This means that our Great Xia is about to enter an era where everyone is like a dragon!"

With the support of Yuanli, Fang Wenshan's voice was thunderous and awe-inspiring.

The sound echoed throughout the empty auditorium, reverberating for a long time.

This statement was like dropping a depth charge into a calm lake and detonating it, instantly turning the entire lake into a boiling state.

Fang Wenshan speaks very carefully.

First, he said that Shen Bailian's ability to enhance others' martial arts potential is a means or skill, but he did not mention the issue of talent.

Methods can be replicated and scaled up; talent, however, cannot.

Secondly, Fang Wenshan said that the Great Xia Dynasty is about to enter an era where everyone is like a dragon.

However, it did not mention how long this "soon" would take. It should be noted that a technology that can be widely promoted and popularized must be a technology that has been fully developed or is completely mature.

Because of the scarcity of rare and precious natural materials, the Great Xia government has not been without research into techniques to artificially enhance martial arts potential; in fact, research and development began as early as the origin of martial arts.

However, the results were minimal.

Fang Wenshan's cleverness lies in not mentioning how complicated the process is at all; he only focuses on painting a picture of a pie in the sky where everyone can become a dragon.

Some people couldn't help but show excitement when they heard what Fang Wenshan said, and they started to have a passionate discussion with the representatives next to them.

Some other representatives were suddenly startled and unconsciously distanced themselves from Vincent Fang.

Strictly speaking, this is an issue that everyone has thought about. In the eyes of these representatives, Shen Bailian is now like an open-pit gold mine.

It's just waiting for people to mine it.

After all, this is a means to enhance the martial arts potential of others. Even if its effectiveness is only one-tenth of what is rumored, it is still a highly sought-after resource.

Whichever faction first obtains and masters this method of enhancing martial arts potential will essentially control the future of the Great Xia Dynasty for the next hundred or even a thousand years.

There are naturally quite a few people or forces that secretly covet it.

However, no one dared to bring it up until Vincent Fang spoke.

The reason is also very simple.

Xiong Kuohai and Si Buhui, two powerful experts at the Divine Palace Realm, sat on the platform.

Both of these men had close relationships with Shen Bailian. The former was the principal of Tiangang Academy, and he and Shen Bailian could be considered half a master and half a disciple.

As for the latter?
Although the relationship between Shen Bailian and Si Buhui has not been fully made public, the fact that Si Buhui has recognized Shen Bailian as his disciple is already an open secret among the major powers.

After all, Si Bu Hui had already withdrawn from the Starry Sky Martial Hall, which was equivalent to cutting off his own escape route.

Therefore, all the representatives of the various factions were very curious about who gave Fang Wenshan the courage to bring up this crucial topic in this setting.

And this was done while Xiong Kuohai and Si Buhui, two powerful experts at the Divine Palace Realm, were both present.

Is it...

Representatives of some factions recalled that Fang Wenshan had received the approval of the elderly man in white casual clothes in the center of the podium before he began to speak.

Therefore, some people began to speculate wildly. "Vincent Fang, after all this beating around the bush, what are you trying to say?"

"That's right, that's right. Don't waste any more time. This is the Great Hall of the People, a place where representatives from all walks of life can speak freely. Say what you want to say quickly. I'm sure the esteemed leaders won't interrupt you."

"Your Excellency" is a respectful title used in public to address a powerhouse at the Divine Palace Realm. Only powerhouses at the Divine Palace Realm are qualified to be called "Your Excellency".

Otherwise, it is equivalent to breaking the law (except for minors under the age of eighteen).

This is similar to how, in ancient unified feudal societies, "emperor" was a respectful title for the emperor.

If anyone else dared to be called the Emperor, their fate would be predictable.

"What I want to say is actually very simple." Fang Wenshan looked at the few dozen representatives who responded to him and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he had already expected this.

Apart from the greenhorns sent for experience, the delegates who came to this Great Hall of the People were all seasoned veterans. Therefore, some of the more mature-looking delegates did not dare to draw any conclusions.

Are they so easily swayed?
How can it be!

However, Fang Wenshan's original intention was not to impress the representatives present and the dignitaries sitting on the stage with his words.

"I wonder if Your Excellency passed a resolution a couple of days ago?" Fang Wenshan composed himself and smiled faintly. "The resolution concerns Shen Bailian's participation in the first batch of explorations into another world."

Upon hearing this, Xiong Kuohai frowned slightly and glanced at the other Divine Palace Realm experts beside him, his eyes revealing a questioning look.

How did Vincent Fang find out about this resolution before it was even announced?
Generally speaking, decisions involving important resource points are to be made public, but Divine Palace Realm experts have a great deal of autonomy in such decisions.

In addition, Shen Bailian was a martial arts student at his Tiangang Academy.

Therefore, Xiong Kuohai's original idea was to announce the resolution within an hour before Shen Bailian set off, in order to avoid anyone making a fuss at the conference.

Unexpectedly, someone still brought it up.

Some Divine Palace Realm experts shook their heads in response to Xiong Kuohai's probing gaze, while others pretended not to see it and showed no reaction.

But the most unique reaction was undoubtedly that of someone who would never regret dying.

However, Xiong Kuohai did not notice Si Buhui's abnormality. Meeting the gazes of the representatives, he finally nodded and replied calmly, "Yes, I passed this resolution."

The person sitting in the center of the stage is named Hai Ruyuan.

Despite appearing to be just a kind-faced old man, he is actually one of the representatives of the Great Xia government.

One of the people in charge on the surface.

At the same time, as one of the representatives of the Great Xia government, Hai Ruyuan naturally possessed the strength to match.

He was a top martial arts prodigy from the previous era, born in the year 201 of the New Era. To date, he has been in the Divine Palace Realm for fifty-nine years and is one of the strongest people in the world.

Hai Ruyuan's peak achievement was forty-nine years ago when he angrily killed a near-demigod-level Flame Ape in Tieyuan, making him famous throughout the world.

Therefore, even someone as powerful as Xiong Kuohai had to give Hai Ruyuan some face, both in terms of seniority and strength.

"Do you have any objections?" Xiong Kuohai glanced at Fang Wenshan indifferently.

This warning look immediately made Fang Wenshan feel uneasy, as if he were sitting on pins and needles. A chill that penetrated to the bone suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart and quickly spread to every inch of his body.

Fortunately, this was the Great Hall of the People, and Xiong Kuohai didn't dare to go too far, so that warning look vanished completely in an instant.

"Yes." Fang Wenshan took a deep breath, bowed respectfully to the group of Divine Palace Realm experts on the stage, and then said loudly, "Yes, very much so."

"I think this move is too risky. If Shen Bailian makes even the slightest mistake, it will shake the foundation of the Great Xia for the next hundreds or even thousands of years."

Therefore, I hope that all of you will reconsider this matter.

"Oh?" Xiong Kuohai also became interested. He glanced at Hai Ruyuan, who remained unmoved in his seat, and a slight smile appeared on his lips as he sneered:

"I'm curious, what kind of thing could give you the idea that the life and death of a mere youth could shake the foundation of the Great Xia?"

Fang Wenshan respectfully replied, "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is the data from the Great Heavenly Body Intelligence Center that gave me this confidence."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly swept his hand across his body, and a huge square light screen appeared in the center of the Great Hall of the People, displaying the results predicted by various big data.

Within the next fifteen years, the number of mid-level warriors in the Great Xia Dynasty, namely those at the Transcendent Realm and the Sea Opening Realm, will increase by approximately 800% to 823%.

Looking ahead to the next fifty years, this figure will grow to 1000% to 1200%.

This single statistic caused everyone present to breathe heavily.

"real or fake?"

Is the source of this data reliable?

"Fang Wenshan, you didn't fabricate any data predictions, did you? Where did you get your data model from...?"

"..."

All of a sudden.

The entire auditorium erupted in excitement once again, with many people standing up excitedly, rubbing their eyes, unable to believe the data they were seeing.

This time, it was far more intense than the last time, with many people even calling Fang Wenshan by his name instead of "Representative Fang".

Some people suspect that Vincent Fang deliberately falsified data to achieve his ulterior motives.

Nothing more than that.

The series of projected predictions displayed on the screen were truly astonishing.

It should be noted that, despite the continuous updates and iterations of the Dragon Gate Seed technology, as long as they are fed with sufficient resources and undergo long-term training, about 30% of the current martial arts prodigies can successfully enter the Embracing Moon Realm without encountering any unexpected situations.

However, for a country, high-end combat power is essential, as is the backbone of its military.

The numerous Sea-Opening Realms are the backbone of the Great Xia Dynasty.

If the number of martial artists at the Opening Sea Realm can truly reach the aforementioned expectations, then the number of martial artists at the Embracing Moon Realm will be as numerous as carp crossing a river in the future.

Of course, all of this data is based on the premise that it is possible to replicate Shen Bailian's ability to enhance the martial arts potential of others on a large scale.

"I believe many people have doubts about the data I've presented, and of course, that's understandable." Fang Wenshan looked at the group of representatives, a satisfied smile on his face, then turned to Hai Ruyuan, who sat in the center of the stage, and bowed, saying:
"Mr. Hai, this is the big data model you asked me to create. After 99 million verifications, it's the most accurate result. I wonder if you're satisfied?" (End of Chapter)
