Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

Seven dazzling spirit rings—yellow, purple, black, and black—revealed that this Star Luo traitor was actually a Soul Saint who had been hiding for a long time.

He had intended to engage in close combat, but seeing this scene, he abandoned the idea and instead took out a small soul tool—this soul tool looked very much like a gun.

This is the soul tool that Jin Tianming researched. Although it is only level five, its power is already close to that of a level seven soul tool.

Moreover, Jin Tianming continued to improve it, and later handed it over to Huo Yuhao and Xiao Hongchen, two geniuses of soul tools, so that they could further study and optimize it.

The gun-shaped soul tool in Huo Yuhao's hand at this moment is incredibly powerful, and he has also incorporated some of the power of extreme ice into it.

He stared coldly at the minister who was about to self-destruct, pointed the gun at the man's heart, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The official didn't even have time to react before his heart was pierced, and he died on the spot.

Previously, the ministers were very calm, simply because Kong Deming was present, they felt that the self-destruction of a Soul Saint would not cause any waves.

But now that everyone has seen Huo Yuhao's move, they all gasped in shock: Just what is the origin of that soul tool?
"It can actually kill a Soul Saint instantly!"

This sentence was swirling in everyone's mind at that moment, and they were both curious and wary of the weapon in Huo Yuhao's hand.

Looking at the gun-shaped soul tool in Huo Yuhao's hand and the extreme ice swirling around the muzzle, Jin Tianming couldn't help but exclaim, "Yuhao, your talent in soul tools is truly terrifying!"

"Compared to Brother Jin, I still have a lot to catch up with."

"Moreover, many of the flaws in this soul tool were improved by my teacher," Huo Yuhao replied modestly.

In his view, the real genius of soul tools might not be himself, but Brother Jin in front of him.

The other party not only possessed top-notch talent and strength, but also an amazing learning ability, which filled Huo Yuhao's heart with admiration and longing.

As for jealousy? To him, Brother Jin Tianming was like a second parent, so how could he be jealous?
In the future, Huo Yuhao even wanted his descendants to enshrine and worship Brother Jin!
Jin Tianming: ...

"Hey hey~ (#`O′) Yuhao!" Xiao Hongchen, who was standing to the side, immediately became unhappy and stepped forward, saying, "I also deserve credit for your Extreme Ice Spear!"

"Brother, is that your 'achievement' of being frozen by a single shot? Don't embarrass yourself!" Meng Hongchen, who was standing next to Xiao Hongchen, hurriedly stepped forward and pulled him back, feeling that it was too embarrassing to do so in front of so many people.

"younger sister!"

Xiao Hongchen was instantly at a loss.

"You bastard, shut up!" Jing Hongchen suddenly appeared and slapped his grandson across the face.

With so many people watching, Xiao Hongchen still dared to act recklessly; even Jing Hongchen felt utterly humiliated.

"Oh~" Xiao Hongchen covered her swollen left cheek and responded carelessly. Then she stared at Huo Yuhao with a resentful look, as if to say: Don't leave later, I want to duel with you!

Faced with Xiao Hongchen's hostile gaze, Huo Yuhao silently looked away—Brother Xiao is still as annoying as ever!

Seeing that the farce had come to an end, Jin Tianming continued the previous topic: "I'm appointing Ju Zi as the deputy leader. Who objects? Who agrees?"

"I object!"

Snapped……

Another minister stepped forward, and as soon as he finished speaking those three words, he was slapped away, almost touching the full moon in the sky.

However, this time the person was not a spy from another country, but a genuine subject of the Sun Moon Empire.

"Even I have no objections, but you all have quite a few!" Kong Deming couldn't stand it anymore, clapped his hands and stood up: "I'm putting this out there, anyone who dares to object again should first ask if I'll agree to it with a slap!"

Jin Tianming glanced around and, seeing that his ministers had no further objections, nodded in satisfaction: "Since it's unanimously in favor, I'm very pleased."

Ministers: ...

"The two leaders have been appointed, and the next step is the allocation of other resources and powers."

"From now on, the Hall of Offerings and the divisions will all be integrated into the military headquarters, responsible for handling matters related to the national army. Ye Yulin, the other offerings, and the division commanders, are you all okay with this?" Jin Tianming's gaze fell on Ye Yulin and the other offerings, as well as the division commanders.

"As for who will serve as minister, that depends on your individual abilities; I can't be bothered with it."

Jin Tianming trusted this group of people. The pills they took when they broke through were all modified by Dugu Yan.

If someone harbors thoughts of betrayal... well, the consequences are unimaginable.

As for why not control them by modifying the Dragonborn?

Jin Tianming's physical body is too weak now. He almost collapsed from exhaustion when he modified Xu Tianyuan. He is really worried about accidents, so he does not plan to use his physical body to modify everyone.

Everyone immediately accepted the order: "We will absolutely not let you down, sir!"

Jin Tianming continued with the appointment: "Master Jing, from now on, Mingde Hall will be renamed the Research Department, and you will serve as the first head of the department."

However, not just anyone can enter this research department; their family background must be rigorously investigated for three generations.

When you get back, deal with those rats that were 'stealing rice' in there, understand?

“Of course I understand.” Jing Hongchen knew that although his position had only changed from the head of Mingde Hall to the head of the research department, his current status was completely on par with those of the enshrined monks and division commanders.

Moreover, he no longer cares much about his position; he only wants to work with Kong Deming and other level-nine soul masters to research a level-ten soul tool!
He knew all too well that once the research on the level 10 soul tool was successful, it would not only change the world order and the relationship between soul beasts, but also make him famous in history.

Which level-nine Soul Master on the Sun Moon Continent doesn't want to prove themselves with their strength and leave their mark on history, just like Yu Xiaogang from the neighboring continent?

"As for you all!" Jin Tianming stroked his chin, looked at the group of ministers, and said after a moment of silence, "You must do your best to assist leaders Kong Deming and Ju Zi, otherwise I will have no choice but to personally visit your homes."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The ministers dared not be negligent in the slightest and responded immediately.

Among them were some traitors, who were already plotting to report today's events back to their own countries.

Jin Tianming took in everything, including the underhanded actions of the traitors, but he couldn't be bothered with it—someone would handle these people.

Jin Tianming turned to leave, intending to return to his cultivation.

The reason he was unwilling to become the leader of the Sun Moon Empire was simple: only by constantly cultivating himself could he crush everyone in the future!

"Lord Jin Tianming, why did you appoint me as the deputy leader?" Ju Zi quickly caught up with Jin Tianming, her tone filled with confusion.

She felt that she was just an ordinary person without any special talents, and was not qualified to serve as a deputy leader or assist Kong Deming. At most, she could only help Jin Tianming with some trivial matters.

There were so many more suitable people just now, such as Jing Hongchen or other worshippers, so why did Jin Tianming choose this woman?
I'm afraid it's just as that traitor said—she's simply not suitable for this position and is completely incapable of fulfilling it!
"Why?" Jin Tianming stopped and turned to look at Ju Zi, explaining with a smile, "Because He knows you are excellent. It was He who suggested that I put you in this position. Do you understand?"

"Is it because the Holy Lord has high hopes for me?" Ju Zi instantly understood who "He" Jin Tianming was referring to—the one who promised to help her take revenge and give her powerful cultivation resources.

But she herself was not ambitious enough and never managed to break through the bottleneck.

“That’s right!” Jin Tianming said slowly, “He said that your talent for cultivation may not be top-notch, but you will definitely be outstanding in leadership.”

Moreover, my observations over this period of time have made me realize that He was right.

So just go for it. He even said that leading the empire to achieve future revenge is a very satisfying thing, isn't it?

"I understand!"

At that moment, all the confusion in Orange's heart vanished, and she said firmly, "I will definitely not let the Holy Lord down! I will offer Him the most spectacular war and help Him complete the great cause of unification!"

Jin Tianming sensed that Ju Zi seemed to have misunderstood something, but he didn't intend to correct her—perhaps such a misunderstanding could save him from unnecessary explanations, which was fine.
