Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

Chapter 43 Winning Over and Martial Arts Schools

"He truly surpasses even the God of War."

The two martial arts school presidents looked surprised. Under normal circumstances, councilor-level experts would not participate in the fight against the beast tide. Only when a catastrophic beast tide broke out and a king-level monster attacked the military district's defense line would councilor-level experts take action.

A level 2 beast tide like this can be completely withstood with the help of several high-level war gods and the firepower suppression of the defensive base.

"Fire abilities... Could it be Councilor Fal?"

"What a joke! How could Congressman Fal from the HR Alliance possibly come to China to help fight off the beast tide?!"

While the two were guessing the identity of the senator.

The number of monsters emerging from the mountains continued to increase, including a seven-tailed fox. It was extremely fast and rushed out of the mountains in the blink of an eye, leaping to the front of the defensive base. If such a lord-level monster were allowed to break into the war base, the soldiers would suffer heavy casualties.

"Quick, stop it!"

Chief Chu hurriedly shouted into his earpiece.

The presidents of the two martial arts schools and the War God they brought immediately took action, but a figure was faster than them. Just as the Seven-Tailed Fox was about to dodge again, a flaming blade flashed and instantly killed the Fox.

Until then.

Only then did Chairman Jiang and the others get a clear look at the fiery figure.

"Shen, Shen Ping, the God of War?!"

The two congress chairpersons were stunned.

They never imagined that this being who surpassed even the God of War would be Shen Ping from Pingwei Materials Company!

Shen Ping hovered in mid-air in front of them and smiled, "President Jiang, President Wu, now is not the time to be daydreaming."

After saying that, he transformed into a stream of flames and rushed into the monster horde once more.

The beast tide won't stop anytime soon. Even though he killed quite a few lord-level monsters, it couldn't deter those crazed monsters.

Watching the flames recede into the distance.

The two congress chairpersons were shocked when they realized what was happening.

Shen Ping has actually broken through to the level of a councilor. This speed of advancement is too fast. He only obtained the title of High-level War God at the beginning of the year, and now he has become a councilor in just over half a year.

Although the peak of the God of War is only one step away from the position of a councilor, this step is a huge gap. There are only more than fifty people in the world who can cross this step. Many Gods of War whose physical qualities have long reached their peak are unable to break through for a long time, and it is normal for them to be delayed for several years.

"It must be a treasure from an ancient civilization!"

Almost subconsciously, the two thought of the ancient ruins of South America. Only ruins could produce that new type of gene drug and possess treasures that could allow martial artists to break through to the level of councilors.

"This Shen Ping, the God of War—no, I mean Councilor Shen—he's really hit the jackpot!"

They couldn't help but feel envious again.

Such things can only be envied, since discovering ancient civilization relics sometimes depends entirely on luck. For example, Hong and Lei Shen were able to become beings surpassing the God of War in just a few years during the Great Nirvana period. Besides their own talent, the most important factor was that they obtained treasures from ancient civilization relics.

……

With the help of Councilor Shen Ping, the defense base resisted the Level 2 beast tide much more easily. By the time the beast tide ended at dawn the next day, the number of soldiers lost in the base was the fewest since the establishment of the defense line, and not a single one of the War Gods was injured.

"Thank you, Councilor Shen."

Although Chief Chu knew that with Shen Ping's current strength, this might be the only time he would offer help, he was still sincerely grateful.

Shen Ping waved his hand, "Chief Chu, you're too kind. Apart from the high-level lord-class monsters, the other monster materials will be donated to the country. I hope the country can prepare more defensive weapons for the soldiers."

Commander Chu gave a military salute.

……

That noon.

The news of the addition of a new councilor spread like wildfire around the world. Extreme Martial Arts Academy, Thunder Martial Arts Academy, the five major powers, HR Alliance and many other forces learned of Shen Ping's breakthrough to the councilor level immediately. Shocked and envious, they all called to congratulate him.

"Consultant Shen, congratulations!"

Representative Jia Yi from Huaxia Kingdom personally paid a visit to offer his congratulations, displaying a very warm attitude.

Shen Ping quickly exchanged a few polite and modest words.

The two then sat on the villa's rooftop, drinking tea and chatting.

During the conversation.

Councilor Jia tried to win him over, saying, "Shen Ping, now that you've broken through to the councilor level, according to the rules of the Limitless Martial Arts Academy, you will be granted the title of the sixth Inspector, and an Inspector Ceremony will be held. However, I hope you can come to China."

"If you're willing to join, I guarantee you the highest treatment and will put you in charge of a special operations organization in China. You'll be in charge of this organization... In addition, if the country discovers any treasures or relics, you will be notified immediately and given priority in choosing them."

Shen Ping politely declined, saying, "I appreciate Councilor Jia's kindness, and I will help if the country needs me. As for joining, I'm sorry, I have other plans."

In this regard.

Jia Yi wasn't too disappointed. He knew that it was difficult to win over any councilor from the Limitless Martial Arts Academy because Hong possessed many treasures that could elevate the councilor's rank, and the country didn't have such resources.

We chatted for a while longer.

Jia Yi then left, and Qin Shan arrived shortly after.

Entering the villa.

Qin Shan asked in a low voice, "Old Shen, did we disturb you while you were entertaining other guests?"

Shen Ping chuckled and joked, "Our Huaxia country's Congressman Jia Yi was just here."

"ah."

Qin Shan was startled and quickly said, "Then you go and entertain them. I'm not in a hurry. I'll sit for a while first."

"They've already left."

Shen Ping patted Qin Shan on the shoulder and laughed, "Alright, don't be nervous, probably no one will come right now."

Qin Shan finally breathed a sigh of relief and offered his congratulations, "Old Shen, congratulations on becoming someone who surpasses the God of War."

Done.

He continued teasingly, "Tsk tsk, I never thought I, Qin Shan, would have a friend like this. You have no idea, since the news of your becoming a councilor spread, my communication watch has been ringing off the hook."

"I reckon Mu Yang, Qiangzi, and Yu Tai are the same."

In ancient China, there was a saying that "when one person attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven." Now that Shen Ping has broken through to become a member of parliament, the status and position of his relatives and friends will also rise accordingly.

"Captain, you didn't come here just to flatter me, did you?"

Shen Ping chuckled half-jokingly, "If that's the case, then tell me more, I love to hear it."

Qin Shan rolled his eyes. Of course, he knew Shen Ping wasn't that kind of person. So, he straightened his expression and got down to business, "Last month, I broke through to the God of War level. I've been training and consolidating these past few days, and I should be able to hunt down Lord-level monsters and get the God of War Palace's assessment. Should we start preparing for establishing the martial arts school?"

Shen Ping nodded, "We can start preparing now. Taking advantage of the news about my councilor, we can attract the attention of many martial artists to the martial arts school."

Qin Shan asked, "Have you decided on a name for the martial arts school?"

Shen Ping got up and paced back and forth in the living room before finally saying, "Let's call it Yanfeng Martial Arts School."
