Swallowing the Stars: Eternal Glory

Chapter 23 This is just too illogical!
Lu Jin set off early in the morning and didn't get home until late at night.

As for the materials obtained from hunting monsters, Lu Jin only took out a portion of the Beast General-level materials and sold them to the manager of the monster material acquisition department under his family at the supply base.

Inside the underground training hall of the villa, after consuming the life-giving elixir dropped by the golden python, Lu Jin walked to the punching power testing machine.

"Oh!"

With a punch, the punching bag trembled, and a number appeared on the screen—'67126kg'.

The standard punching power for a beginner-level War God martial artist is 64000 kg. With a basic punching power of over 67,000 kg, this is definitely a beginner-level War God martial artist, just as Lu Jin had predicted.

"Oh!"

Another punch was thrown, this time Lu Jin used three times the force of his body.

Immediately, the value displayed on the punching power testing machine screen skyrocketed to '201376kg'.

"call out!"

Immediately afterwards, a nine-element throwing knife shot out, hitting the punching bag simultaneously with the hilt facing forward.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the value displayed on the screen soared to '268504kg'.

They didn't dare to throw three knives at it, since this punch force testing machine only had a force testing limit of 500,000 kilograms.

If the limit is exceeded, the punching power testing machine will be destroyed.

However, the maximum psychic attack strength is also easy to calculate.

Multiplying this value by three gives '805512kg', which is the strongest attack he can unleash under the current three times the psychic power amplitude.

A force of over 800,000 kilograms, which surpasses the basic punching power of a peak-level advanced war god martial artist of 512000 kilograms.

Of course, someone who can become a peak-level advanced war god martial artist is definitely not a blank slate. Once they use their power generation techniques, their maximum punching power can definitely exceed 800,000 kilograms.

Furthermore, all the top-tier warriors on Earth possess the Black God Set, making them no match for him at present.

"Drip-drip-"

Just then, Lu Jin noticed that the communication watch on his wrist vibrated, and a phone call came in.

Fifteen minutes later, Lu Jin, having changed her clothes, entered the old man's study.

Grandpa, aren't you asleep yet?

Lu Jin asked.

"Ah~"

The old man looked tired, shook his head and sighed, and said, "The power struggle within the alliance has ended, the former alliance speaker Isadora was forced to step down, and Atkin has become the new alliance speaker."

A few days ago, at a high-level meeting within the alliance, a proposal put forward by Councilor Yan Hai to increase the contribution funds of the major families within the alliance was passed.

All families belonging to the alliance will have their annual contribution doubled compared to previous years.

In addition to this, there are a series of stringent and mandatory cooperation conditions.

The HR Alliance is a powerful organization that houses many powerful councilors and war gods, incurring considerable expenses.

This expense was naturally paid for by the various families within the alliance, which is why it was called 'contribution money'.

It's good to take shelter under a big tree. Although this contribution is a huge amount, the title of HR Alliance member can keep out those who want to pry, and all the major families are willing to pay it.

However, with the already enormous amount of alliance contribution funds now doubled, coupled with a series of mandatory collaborations, the various families have become mere employees of the alliance's higher-ups.

Not paying?

You can choose not to pay; simply withdraw from the HR Alliance.

However, the consequences of withdrawing from the alliance are something the Lu family, which lacks powerful councilors, cannot afford.

Before the Great Nirvana, the rules of the world were established jointly by various countries and major conglomerates. But now, with monsters ravaging the globe, the rules of the world have long been set by the strong.

Even if the five major powers are able to maintain their basic strength, their foundation still belongs to the strong in each country.

"Atkins and the others are all powerful senators, why would they care about money?"

Lu Jin frowned and asked.

It is no exaggeration to say that, with Hong and Thor both seriously injured and unconscious, the group led by Atkinson, Yan Hai, and Sago Nehru is now the most powerful and influential group in the world.

Having already reached the top, accumulating more money wouldn't mean much to them.

Lu Yi shook his head slightly: "The councilors naturally look down on them, but they are not just individuals, but interest groups centered around themselves."

The boss doesn't care about worldly money, but the underlings who follow him need it!

How can someone be a qualified leader if they don't seek benefits for their subordinates?

After a moment's thought, Lu Jin said, "It's just money. As long as the family doesn't go bankrupt, the alliance can take it. I will settle accounts with them in the future."

Atkin, the newly appointed chairman of the HR Alliance, seems to be enjoying great success. He even plans to mobilize other powerful figures to oppress the relatives of the heroes who perished in the battle of the 'Devouring Beast' and plot to seize the treasures left behind by the heroes.

But Lu Jin knew that Atkin and his gang wouldn't be able to get away with it for long.

If he remembered correctly, Luo Feng's human clone would be born in the middle of next year, at which time Atkin and the others would be beheaded.

Of course, Atkins and others will definitely not retire until the middle of next year.

If Luo Feng killed Atkin and others in the original story to settle scores with the villains who oppressed the families of heroes and to seek revenge, then he had his eye on the HR Alliance platform.

After reaching the pinnacle of global power, he himself looked down on worldly money and power, but the Lu family, with its numerous members including collateral branches, needed them.

When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven.

If one cannot benefit one's relatives and friends after attaining enlightenment, then that would be truly inhuman.

With the new king of justice ascending the throne, it's not enough for the old king, who is the villainous big bad guy, to abdicate. Lu Jin feels it's necessary to see him off.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly.

Circumstances are beyond our control; we have no power to resist, so even if we're not convinced, we have to keep quiet.

Then, Lu Yi asked, "By the way, what's your strength now?"

Lu Jin said, "Beginner War God Warrior, Advanced War God Spiritualist."

"So fast?!"

Lu Yi was shocked and somewhat incredulous.

Having mastered Genetic Energy in less than three months, he became an advanced war god?

This is too unscientific!
Lu Jin waved his hand and said, "Geniuses cultivate quickly, that's normal. Take Luo Feng, for example, he became one of the world's top experts at a young age, didn't he?"

"That's true. True geniuses often cannot be measured by common sense."

Lu Yi nodded, agreeing with Lu Jin's explanation.

The rhetoric isn't important; what matters is that Lu Jin has the capability.

The only standard for measuring strength is power.

Two days later, on October 15th, in the morning.

Apart from the old man, all the direct descendants of the Lu family rushed to Yangzhou City to participate in the full moon banquet held by the Luo family for Luo Ping and Luo Hai. Accompanying them were a group of warriors and guards.

After the full moon banquet, Lu Jin did not leave Yangzhou City directly, but went to a teahouse not far from the hotel where a private room had been reserved.

Meanwhile, inside the hotel, Luo Hua was preparing to leave with his girlfriend Zhen Nan when he saw Xu Gang, the elder brother of his sister-in-law Xu Xin, walking over.
