Chapter 31 The Military Boss's Shock

The conference hall on the third floor of the Fourth Military Region Operations Building.

A group of military bigwigs and war god-level powerhouses gathered here, including many high-level war gods who have been famous for many years, as well as military special-level leaders who are often seen in the news.

Besides these, there was an even more remarkable figure—

A lean, hooked-nosed man sat in the center, wearing a long black trench coat and with silver hair.

The moment he sat there, it felt as if the area within dozens of meters around him was plunged into darkness; he was the god within that area!

Clearly, this is a terrifying being who surpasses even the God of War level!

At this moment, everyone, from the military leaders and the powerful war god to this great being, was staring intently at the scene playing on the screen at the front of the hall.

The scene had just begun when people saw a very young-looking martial artist charging towards a giant red rhinoceros monster in the wilderness.

"Advanced Beast General-level monster, Bloodthirsty Ironclad Rhinoceros!" Everyone in the hall was a powerful individual who had dealt with monsters for many years, so they naturally recognized the monster on the screen at a glance.

"This kid looks to be only in his early twenties. What is he up to?" Everyone had the same question in their minds.

Although they guessed it, they were still hard to believe, after all, that was a high-level beast general, not a high-level beast soldier!

boom!!

To everyone's disbelief, the young warrior in the scene wielded a heavy sword and crashed into a massive, bloodthirsty armored rhinoceros.

After a deafening roar, both sides were thrown back dozens of meters by the powerful force, and even those watching on the screen could feel the intense impact.

This scene silenced the conference hall. The military leaders and war god-level experts stared wide-eyed and craned their necks, like a flock of old quails.

For the next ten minutes or so, they maintained this posture and expression.

In the following scenes, the young warrior repeatedly slashed at the Bloodthirsty Armored Rhinoceros with his heavy sword, or fiercely clashed with the rhinoceros's single horn, never losing ground and even subtly suppressing it.

Whether it was the immense power he displayed, his terrifying speed, or his exquisite and subtle movements, it was enough to shock any martial artist. After all, he looked incredibly young!

The battle lasted for almost ten minutes. Finally, the young warrior pierced through the belly of the Bloodthirsty Armored Rhinoceros at an extremely tricky angle and pierced the monster's heart with a single sword strike!

The massive, mountain-like, bloodthirsty armored rhinoceros crashed to the ground, and the scene ended there.

It wasn't until almost a minute after the video ended that the people in the hall recovered from their shock, and a thunderous murmur erupted in discussion.

"Incredible!"

"That's insane!"

"A movement technique at the microscopic level! That's a movement technique at the microscopic level!"

"To directly kill a high-level beast general, isn't that close to being a war god?!"

"Someone fucking tell me how old he is! Where the hell is he?!"

A commotion erupted in the hall; the group of loud-voiced military figures nearly blew the roof off the conference room.

"Ahem," Song Tianying, the convener of this meeting, slowly stepped forward, a smug smile on his face, and waved to everyone.

"Listen to me, everyone, let me introduce myself."

Seeing that everyone had stopped talking and looked at him, Song Tianying was extremely pleased, knowing that these guys were all military bigwigs no less than him.

He nodded to the man in black sitting below, then smiled and said:

"The young man in the picture is a major-level officer in my Fourth Military Region. He just turned nineteen this year. Right now, he can barely be considered a peak senior general-level martial artist."

Wow!

These words immediately caused an uproar in the room.

Although the young martial artist in the picture did not look very old, everyone was shocked to hear that he was only nineteen years old. Even the usually stern man in black showed a hint of surprise.

"Nineteen years old, a peak advanced warrior general! A movement technique at the microscopic level?!" The people present were all seasoned veterans who had weathered many storms, but they still found this information somewhat unbelievable.

A genius of unparalleled talent! A freak!

All of these war gods present were dealing with beast soldiers when they were nineteen years old, and some of them weren't even martial artists yet.

But this guy has already killed a high-level beast general-level monster. Is he even human?

"But—" Song Tianying raised his voice, silencing the hall.

"However, this kid's physical attributes have not actually reached the level of a high-level warrior. He is only at the peak of a low-level warrior. His combat power is just comparable to that of a high-level warrior, so there is no need to be too surprised."

"What did you say?!" Upon hearing this, not only the group that had been shouting the loudest at the beginning, but even some who were not so surprised before couldn't help but stand up.

"Physical abilities at the beginner-level general level, combat power comparable to a senior general?!"

"Killing a high-level beast general two levels above you? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"I'd rather believe he was a high-ranking general; otherwise, it's just too outrageous!"

"Don't fucking tell me this kid, a mere teenager, is exerting three or even four times the force?!"

"I've cultivated for decades, and my power multiplier is less than twice what it used to be!"

Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Song Tianying's mischievous pleasure was satisfied, but that was far from enough, so he decided to add fuel to the fire.

He pressed his hands down to quiet everyone down, then casually said:

"This kid is cultivating the Ninefold Thunder Blade, but he's only just barely reached the fourth level. He's still a bit short of being able to unleash four times the power."

"Ninefold Thunder Blade, fourth level?" A surprised voice rang out in the hall, instantly drowning out everyone else.

The speaker was none other than a super strongman who surpassed the level of a war god. He was also one of the top three leaders in the Chinese military, and people generally referred to him as Councilor Deng.

"A nineteen-year-old senior warrior is rare, but one can be forged at a sufficient cost." Councilor Deng's voice was slightly low, but firm and powerful.

"But to possess a movement technique at the level of Subtlety at the age of nineteen, and to have even mastered the Ninefold Thunder Blade to the fourth level—that's unbelievable!"

Representative Deng's words undoubtedly resonated with everyone.

It's important to know that the fourth level of the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade represents 3.5 times the power, and many high-level War God-level powerhouses don't even have that power multiplier.

"Councilor Deng is right, I also think this kid is quite good." Seeing his own man receive praise from Councilor Deng, Song Tianying's face lit up with a smile, and he quickly struck while the iron was hot.

"I have another video here, let's all take a look."

As he spoke, he asked his assistant to turn on the second video.

The video shows the same young man, but with the addition of a beautiful young woman; the two seem to be having a pleasant conversation.

"Hey, Old Song, isn't this your daughter?" A bigwig in the hall who was quite familiar with the Song family immediately laughed. "You old rascal, you've got some nerve, already planning to take her as your son-in-law?"

"Old Song is really bold, even willing to sacrifice his own daughter. No wonder you beat him to it." The others chimed in.

"Seriously, even if you've found such a good son-in-law, there's no need to show him off to all of us."

"That's right, that's right."

Everyone chimed in, their words causing Song Tianying's old face to flush red.

"Go away!" Song Tianying glared. "Shut up, all of you, and just watch carefully!"

At this moment, the beautiful young woman in the scene glanced at her watch, seemed to say something to the young man, and his expression changed, then—

The heavy sword behind him seemed to be drawn out by an invisible force and floated in front of him.

He leaped onto the heavy sword, said something to the girl, and then instantly soared into the air at a speed far exceeding the speed of sound!

The scene shifts, and the young man arrives at the top of a building where several martial artists appear to be in a standoff.

When the young man appeared, the three of them were terrified and turned to flee. Judging from their speed, they were clearly two high-level warriors and one mid-level warrior.

Next, the young man simply controlled three throwing knives and easily killed the three martial artists, as if he were killing three ordinary people.

The scene ends here; you could hear a pin drop in the hall.

After a moment, Councilor Deng stood up and said calmly:

"I'll talk to Lao Jia and try to get him a spot in the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy's elite training camp. His identity must be kept strictly confidential! Anyone who reveals it will be considered a traitor!"

After saying that, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
