In the name of supernatural powers

Chapter 164 Elope?

Lu Zhao agreed to marry him, and Lin Zhiyan explained the whole story to him in detail.

The dispute revolves around the Heavenly Divine Power of Subduing Dragons and Tigers.

This supernatural power was seized by the Lin family ancestor more than two hundred years ago, before the Federation was even founded, during an internal conflict within the Buddhist sect.

Later, through their ability to subdue dragons and tigers, the Lin family ancestors helped the Federation establish itself and made outstanding military achievements.

This supernatural ability has been passed down to this day, which is also the reason why the Lin family has been able to stand strong.

As long as one masters the Heavenly Gang Divine Power, one is guaranteed to produce a top-tier Martial Marquis. Even if the family has no one else, one can recruit a worthy son-in-law to temporarily fill the gap.

The practice of choosing a son-in-law here is different from marrying into another family. It's not about continuing the family line, but more like a political investment, open to anyone with the ability.

The Lin family has experienced ups and downs until now, and is in an unprecedented low.

If it's just a decline, that's not a problem. Lin Zhiyan's father and grandfather left behind a huge political legacy, and the Federation will not allow the Lin family to truly fall into poverty.

The real problem lies within.

Ten years ago, Lin Zhiyan's grandfather and father sacrificed their lives one after another. After the news spread, the Buddhist sect recruited a member of the Lin family into the sect.

After years of intensive training, he has already become a third-tier extraordinary being at the young age of 25.

Lin Zhiyan complained that he had developed a pharmacist's appearance from taking Shaolin Dali Pills.

She has good resources, but she is only at the second level of transcendence, and has just broken through two of the five levels.

Life development is not something that can be done as quickly as possible; maintaining a high rate of life development can shorten one's lifespan. It's clear that the Buddhist sect used some kind of secret method to continuously accelerate his development.

In any case, it's just a tool to seize the dragon-taming and tiger-subduing skills, and its short life is just what Buddhism wants.

Lu Zhao asked, "The Buddhist sect is so blatant, doesn't the Federation care?"

“Religious sects are also part of the Federation. The Buddhist sect also has its own factions within the Federation, usually centered around one or two high-ranking officials.”

Lin Zhiyan explained, "Furthermore, the Buddhist sect is not a unified entity; it is divided into the Northern Buddhist and Southern Buddhist factions. The number of people who support the Buddhist sect in reclaiming the Dragon-Subduing and Tiger-Taming techniques is roughly the same as those who do not."

"At the same time, if it is inherited by a member of the Lin family, even if he is a bald monk, it is still legal."

This is the problem she faces: if she doesn't inherit it, holding on to it will leave her with no foothold.

Lu Zhao asked, "Is the entire Dragon-Subduing and Tiger-Taming Sequence in the Lin family?"

Lin Zhiyan replied, "Our family only obtained the Dragon Subduing and Tiger Taming techniques; we didn't plunder the entire Buddhist sect. Apart from the top-level Dragon Subduing and Tiger Taming techniques, the main sequence is entirely within the Buddhist sect. However, our family has a branch sequence that can advance to the Dragon Subduing and Tiger Taming techniques."

The supernatural power sequence is divided into branches and trunk, just like a tree, with the trunk being the most powerful but rare.

It has many branches, but they are generally not strong.

"My marriage to you is a delaying tactic, but it can at least buy me seven or eight years. We can talk about the future later."

Lin Zhiyan couldn't help but sigh.

Both he and Lu Zhao were of the mental type, and their supernatural abilities could be substituted for those of the same type, but not for those of different types.

Even if a similar replacement is used, there are still significant risks involved.

Lu Zhao asked, "What exactly?"

"Why are you curious about this?" Lin Zhiyan asked, puzzled. "Even if you wanted to give it to someone else, you can't. It can only be used by you."

Lu Zhao said, "What if I said I could accommodate two supernatural powers?"

Lin Zhiyan tilted his head slightly, then stood up and reached out to cover Lu Zhao's forehead, a fragrance of osmanthus wafting into his nose.

She touched her forehead with her other hand and said, "I don't have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense?"

Lu Zhao slapped her hand away and said seriously, "If I can accommodate a second supernatural power, can I use the Lin family's supernatural power sequence?"

"Are you serious?"

Lin Zhiyan stared at Lu Zhao for a moment and saw that the other party did not seem to be lying.

But I still don't quite believe it.

Before she arrived, she had already obtained a background check report from Secretary Liu. This report was detailed enough to include the number of times Lu Zhao had booked hotel rooms, and Lin Zhiyan was able to deduce that he was a virgin.

If he truly possesses dual supernatural powers, then that would definitely be written into the records.

Moreover, having two supernatural powers is often not a good thing. If we compare the human body to an earthenware pot, the supernatural powers and life force are the water.

Many people's dual supernatural abilities are bulging inside the endothelium, and can only be injected with a small amount of water.

It means you can't have two useful supernatural powers, and it also takes up space, making it difficult to accommodate more supernatural powers.

Lu Zhao asked, "Do you know Scholar Han Dongcai?"

Lin Zhiyan shook his head: "I know Scholar Han, but I don't know him personally." A Federal Grand Scholar holds an extremely high social status in the Federation.

Lu Zhao took out his phone and dialed Han Dongcai's number.

He never expected that his first time troubling the other party would be to prove that he possessed dual supernatural powers.

"Hello, Scholar Han, I am a family member of Lu Zhao. I would like to ask about Lu Zhao's dual supernatural powers... Yes, he is right next to me now."

Lu Zhao's lips twitched. He was starting to regret it; it felt like a trap.

After a long pause, Lin Zhiyan put down the phone, her breathing becoming rapid.

According to Han Dongcai, based on current research findings, Lu Zhao can be basically certain that he can accommodate a second supernatural power.

A flawless dual supernatural power, if inherited from the Dragon Subduing and Tiger Taming techniques, would make one an extraordinary powerhouse combining reconnaissance and strike capabilities.

Found a treasure!

"Come on, let's go to the Civil Affairs Department now."

Lin Zhiyan got up and pulled Lu Zhao outside, afraid that Lu Zhao would regret it.

Whether it's true or not, let's get the marriage certificate first.

Sooner or later, I'll make it a fait accompli for you.

"I don't have a household registration booklet, so how can I get a marriage certificate with you?"

"If it's against the rules, can't you at least uphold your principles?"
-

Fangshi, Municipal Executive Office.

Zhao De had just finished meeting with a legal advisor and finalized the specific regulations and legal risks of the treaty port.

Ant Ridge is making efforts, and Fangshi City is also making efforts.

For Zhao De, if he can finalize the beef trade, it will be a significant achievement that proves his capabilities.

He urgently needs a lot of performance data to prove that his mistakes are understandable and that as long as he is competent, they are not a stain.

Ring ring ring!
The phone rang; it was Zhao De's private call.

He paused for a moment when he saw the number and the note.

The call came from Lu Zhao; it was the first time the other party had called.

"Hey, what's the matter?"

"Chief Zhao, there's something I'd like to ask you for help with."

Upon hearing this, Zhao De asked curiously, "What could possibly make you come to me for a favor?"

Their relationship was ambiguous, seemingly adversarial yet friendly, with their stance leaning towards that of the enemy.

Lu Zhao said, "I want to get married, but I don't have a household registration book. Please help me with some connections."

"what?"

Zhao De was stunned and asked, "Who are you going to marry? Don't tell me you're going to marry Miss Lin."

There was silence on the other side of the phone.

"answer me."

"Yes."

Zhao De took a deep breath, his brows furrowed.

He knew Lu Zhao would rise rapidly in the future, but you're moving too fast.

But why did she suddenly decide to marry Lin Zhiyan?

This is no ordinary person. With the influence of the Lin family, Lin Zhiyan's marriage will inevitably affect the important figures throughout the Federation.

Because they are her elders, how could she not care after getting married?

How could someone get a marriage certificate so hastily in a small border city without even bringing their household registration booklet?

Logically, Liu Wuhou should have first spread the news within the upper echelons of society, confirming his fiancée and letting other important figures connected to the Lin family see what kind of fiancé he was.

Are these two young comrades planning to elope?
That would be so much fun.

"Wait for me, I need to go check it out."

Zhao De immediately got up and ran out of the office.
