My blind date failed, so I had to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Chapter 132 Return to Antarctica
Strictly speaking.

The antiquities excavation team is responsible for all matters related to ancient relics. No other force has the right to interfere in such matters, not even the special department. If you want to intervene, you must go through the application process and only after passing it can you inquire or get involved.

However, the ancient ruins are of great importance, and the things inside are of immeasurable value and closely related to practitioners. Therefore, at this point, a single antiquities excavation team cannot prevent other forces from interfering.

If Zhou Ping argued with Lei Jiming about the responsibilities in this matter, he would definitely lose, so he said directly, "The matter of the ancient ruins is indeed the responsibility of your antiquities excavation team, but I am the captain of the emergency response team, responsible for any incidents related to practitioners in Central China, including but not limited to malicious incidents."

At this point, he added in a more serious tone, "If another missing child case happens, no matter who the perpetrator is, my emergency team will deal with it severely!"

Lei Jiming was no fool, so how could he not understand the meaning behind Zhou Ping's words? He angrily said, "Mr. Zhou, you are determined to make things difficult for our antiquities excavation team, right?"

"What does Director Lei mean by this?"

Zhou Ping's face was filled with confusion. "I was just following the rules, but I didn't intentionally go against Director Lei. Of course, if Director Lei's subordinates were ordinary people, then my emergency team would definitely not interfere."

"it is good."

"very good!"

Lei Jiming laughed in anger, "You're a lucky guy, but you don't know what's good for you. You'll regret it later. Also, I have to remind you that you're only the captain of the Special Department's Central China Emergency Response Team..."

Zhou Ping interrupted, "It's not your turn to interfere in the affairs of the Special Section."

What this means is that today he may be in Central China, and tomorrow he may be in East China or South China, and the final explanation is that he is in the Special Department.

Lei Jiming's face flushed.

He gritted his teeth, snorted heavily, and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Look at its back.

Zhou Ping frowned and thought. With Lei Jiming's conceited and arrogant personality, he would definitely not come to tell him these things. There must be someone behind the scenes who asked Lei Jiming to do this.

Who is the one.

Qin Bing, or the dean of the Moon Palace Taoist Temple, or those forces hidden underwater.

"There are quite a few forces behind Lei Jiming. But it's also true that such a dazzling cultivation genius will definitely attract a lot of attention. Whether it's openly or secretly, everyone will focus on him."

"A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. I just don't know if Lei Jiming can withstand it."

He quickly thought of himself.

Now Director Wang is still suppressing the news about his foundation-building strength, and Lei Jiming will definitely not speak out too much. At most, he will reveal it to his father-in-law and master. But when the news spreads completely, he will definitely come to the fore.

"My spiritual energy and mana are now 75. Although the Immortal Fire Seed is still subtly influencing the Dao Fetus, the improvement has become slow. I must master the Fire Sutra, the foundation-building method, as soon as possible. Only then can I not be afraid of any threat!"

Until noon.

Zhou Ping and Jiang Xia did not go out to eat alone, but had a meal in the cafeteria with Captain Yuan and others, and drank some wine. As for Captain Han, Captain Wu and other special department captains, they left Kyoto and returned to their respective areas of jurisdiction the day after the list was announced.

the next morning.

All members of the spaceship heading to Antarctica gathered in the square.

While waiting.

Captain Yuan glanced at the three major groups nearby and said calmly, "Among these hundreds of places, more than a dozen were arranged through the backdoor. These three major groups really don't worry about their safety at all."

A special section captain named Lu nearby snorted, "They always act like this. It's normal for them to do this with a position like this."

"There's nothing new under the sun. We can just turn a blind eye to this kind of thing. Anyway, when we get to Antarctica, we'll see how many of them can pass. The actual combat test won't give them any backdoors."

Zhou Ping did notice some cultivators with mixed auras, but he didn't care. After all, these people couldn't be talked about. The top leaders of the three major groups were involved behind the scenes. If the matter got a little deeper, it would be a disaster.

Not a moment.

Director Wang, Director Peng, Qin Bing, Lei Jiming and four others came over.

They spoke a few words one after another.

Then the square opens.

The large military passenger fighter plane slowly rose up.

Everyone filed in in an orderly manner.

The cabin is very spacious, with smooth metal all around.

Many people from the three major groups were riding in such a fighter plane for the first time, and they looked around like curious babies.

Zhou Ping and Jiang Xia were covered in magic weapon armor and closed their eyes to rest.

"Hey, look at the magical armor they are wearing. It's different from ours."

"They got it from a ship in Antarctica. The quality is much better than what we wear."

"It can't be helped. The first time we gain the most benefits, but unfortunately, only a few people from our three major groups went last time."

"Let them take advantage."

There were whispers all around.

There's also some jealousy mixed in.

But Zhou Ping, Yuan Dui and others simply ignored it.

boom.

As the large military passenger fighter took off.

The noise in the cabin gradually faded.

The journey from Kyoto to Antarctica is long, but at the speed of a passenger fighter jet, it can be reached in less than four hours.

When everyone came out of their resting state and got off the fighter plane, they were suddenly swept by gusts of biting cold wind. However, because of the magic weapons and armor, no one felt cold.

Compared to the first time.

The current Antarctic spacecraft have already built platforms next to them, and each country has arranged special personnel to be stationed there.

"Haha, Lao Gao, thank you for your hard work stationed here these days."

Director Wang and Director Peng enthusiastically stepped forward and shook hands with a man wearing a military green coat, with an upright posture and a resolute face.

Then everyone was arranged to enter the tents set up on the platform.

"The weather here is really bad. Fortunately, I have my magical armor, otherwise I would be freezing to death."

Jiang Xia's cheeks flushed red as she looked at Zhou Ping and asked, "Hey, are you confident you can make it to the next level in the actual combat test?"

Zhou Ping smiled and said, "Of course, otherwise why would I be here?"

This time, he not only had to break through the fourth level, but also had to try his best to reach the level of the sect's candidate saint. According to what the spirit of the Taiyan Sect's spaceship said last time, when he had 380,000 spiritual powers, he already had the strength to be a sect seed.

Just wanting to become the sect's Holy Son is still a long way off. Even with more than 700,000 people now, it is still not enough, so I can only try to become a candidate for the Holy Son.

"We have to get through the seventh level!"

"come on!"

He encouraged himself secretly.

The actual combat test tests the overall combat capability. Although he has the Immortal Fire Seed and has broken through to the Foundation Establishment level, he is not very confident.

If he mastered the foundation-building method of the Xinhuo Sutra, he would be confident.

Unfortunately, the foundation-building method in the "Xinhuo Sutra" is too obscure and profound. Zhou Ping relied on the Phoenix Fairy to build his foundation, and he didn't know most of the content. Fortunately, there was the National Destiny Virtual Frame.

Otherwise he wouldn't have even a glimmer of hope.

While Zhou Ping and Jiang Xia were discussing the actual combat test, members of the three major groups were also discussing it. They didn't know much about the actual combat test. Although those who had been there last time had mentioned the difficulty, not many people cared. Instead, they thought that the difficulty of the rumors was intentional by the Special Department.

However, Qin Bing and Lei Jiming were still quite cautious about this.

Director Wang said, "Junior Brother Qin, Director Lei, don't blame me for not warning you. This combat test is extremely difficult. It's much more challenging than the combat training rooms we use back home. Judging from the results of the last test, only those with an average combat power of over 300 can pass the first level. Those with a combat power of around 380 can barely pass the second level. As for the third level, I'm afraid it will only take around 500 combat power."

Qin Bing, the fierce tiger who heads the three major groups, narrowed his eyes and said, "I heard that someone in your special department has passed the third level. This person is also a genius in cultivation. He didn't cultivate his spiritual roots until he was over 30 years old, but he grew up in just six months and has now reached the late stage of foundation building."

Director Wang smiled faintly and said, "If your three major groups can produce a genius, it doesn't seem surprising that my special department can produce one too."

Qin Bing laughed heartily, "I wonder how many rounds Zhou Ping can pass this time?"

"You'll have to ask him about that."

"Okay, I have to go to the hatch later, so I won't stay with you any longer."

Director Wang left after saying this.

Qin Bing turned around and looked at Lei Jiming, saying, "Jiming, how did your conversation with Zhou Ping go yesterday?"

Lei Jiming didn't want to mention Zhou Ping, but since his father-in-law asked, he had to reply, "Zhou Ping relied on his own strength and didn't take the three major groups seriously. Moreover, the other party's combat power and methods are also outstanding, making it difficult to win them over."

Qin Bing knew that his son-in-law had clashed with Zhou Ping before. He frowned and said, "Jiming, there are some things that require tolerance. This time, we were able to snatch hundreds of places from the Special Section thanks to the help of many parties. Although you have unparalleled spiritual roots and talent, you must control your temper and not underestimate others."

Lei Jiming was a little impatient, but he still forced himself to say, "Yes, I know."

Qin Bing also knew his son-in-law's character. He did not continue to talk about this matter, but changed the subject and asked, "Hui'er didn't come this time. Is she still in seclusion in Yutu Taoist Temple?"

"Yes, I went to the Jade Rabbit Taoist Temple a few days ago. She is currently at the critical moment of striving for foundation building and cannot be distracted. The teacher also said that the priority is to build the foundation first."

Lei Jiming paused and said, "It won't be too late to come to Antarctica after Hui'er reaches Foundation Establishment."

Qin Bing smiled slightly, "Hui'er's aptitude is not bad. If you and your wife both reach the foundation-building stage, you will be able to grow old together for a longer period of time."

……

Waited on the platform for half a day.

All the major forces in the world have gathered together.

The Evil King Hall, the Sea Demon Gentleman, the Sword Flower Queen, Captain America and other top warriors also arrived one after another. They were not sure if they could pass the next level, but the spiritual environment inside the Antarctic space ship was what they needed. Every time a combat test was started, the ship would also be open for a period of time so that they could practice inside.

boom.

As the huge hatch opened.

All the monks rushed in.

All of a sudden.

Monks from all over the world soon appeared on the platform inside the hatch passage.

Evil King Tang and Captain America looked at Zhou Ping.

"King Bureau."

"Your special department is really full of talented people."

Evil King Tang said meaningfully.

Director Wang ignored this and snorted coldly, "Your evil organization has been quite active around the world in the past six months. I heard that you unearthed jade containing spiritual energy in South Africa?"

Zhou Ping, Jiangxia and others were shocked when they heard this.

The only stone that can contain spiritual energy is the spirit stone. This thing is very precious and is also the hard currency among practitioners.

I thought it was only found in spaceships, but I didn't expect there were also spirit stone mines on Earth.

Evil King Tang sneered, "Director Wang, when did you learn to spread rumors? If my Holy Society had really found the Spirit Stone Mine, we would have spent money to wipe out your Special Section long ago."

At this time, the Sword Flower Queen glanced at Jiang Xia, "Director Wang, the man wearing phoenix armor who appeared in the Qingcheng ruins must be a powerful figure left over from ancient times. I wonder where that senior is now?"

This statement came out.

It immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

Director Wang frowned, cursed inwardly, and said, "The Qingcheng Ruins are just ruins. There are no ancient powerful beings there. If there were, our Earth would have entered the cultivation age long ago. As for the one wearing the Phoenix armor, he is just an experimental magic weapon of our Special Department."

No one believes this.

The Sword Flower Queen did not delve into it further.

On the other hand, Evil King Tang tutted his words and said, "Testing a magical weapon? I heard that the Phoenix Fairy possessed a woman from your Special Department."

What happened at the Qingcheng ruins.

There are quite a few monks known in the country. After all, some people died at that time, which caused a big sensation.

Although the Special Section had been suppressing the news that Jiang Xia had picked up the ancient phoenix jade and was possessed, it still leaked out. It was because of this that Zhou Ping and Jiang Xia were surrounded and killed by top powerhouses such as the Evil King Tang.

But even if it is semi-public.

Director Wang would not admit it, so he brought up the South Africa incident again.

The two of them were arguing back and forth, making the entire channel platform full of tension. In the end, it was Captain America who spoke up to end the verbal battle.

But members from various countries became curious about what was happening in South Africa.

Zhou Ping and others are no exception. Even if the spiritual stone mine in South Africa is not there, it must be very precious, otherwise the Evil King Tang would not have avoided the issue.

laugh.

at this time.

The voice of the array spirit sounded, "The actual combat test challenge begins."

Everyone's expression immediately became solemn. Those who had participated in the actual test challenge last time had gained a lot, and half of the people who came this time were new faces. They were very much looking forward to the treasure trove behind this actual test.

Wow.

As the heavy hatch slowly opened.

Members from various countries entered one after another.

The metal passage is full of high-tech feeling and can accommodate hundreds of people.

After passing the test.

Zhou Ping stepped into the light gate.

Suddenly the surrounding scene changed abruptly, as if I had arrived in another world.

"Inner sect disciple Zhou Ping."

"Welcome to the actual combat test again. Please choose an environment mode to challenge. Rainforest, Arena, Mountain, Desert, Ocean, Lake..."

A cold mechanical sound rang in my ears.
