I, disguised as a white dragon, was supported by the state.

He can offer more than he can promise!

Regardless, the exercise, which lasted for nearly 20 days, caused considerable turmoil within Cambodia and attracted much global attention.

The Cambodian royal family, which has always been close to Bactria, has gained the support of the United States, a fact that has puzzled many forces.

What's even more puzzling is that, despite the large-scale exercise taking place near the waters of Daxia, Daxia has remained completely silent, as if they were utterly indifferent to it.

Compared to this matter, many other international powers have also turned their attention to the island nation.

Compared to Cambodia, the island nation wields greater influence, making the recent events particularly significant.

It all started with Misaki Mitsumi, the head of the Mitsumi family.

She had previously attracted much controversy and even survived an assassination attempt due to her radical campaign slogans for prime minister.

The forces that orchestrated this assassination were not a secret to many intelligence agencies.

The Xuanyang Society is notorious and is the most infamous right-wing force in the island nation.

Their assassination attempt on Misaki Mitsumi was not unexpected by some people.

However, to the surprise of many forces both inside and outside the island, Misaki Mitsumi's revenge was far too intense.

Not long after she was assassinated, the secret office building of the Xuan Yang Society was reduced to ruins in an explosion!

This was just the beginning. When the surviving members of the Xuan Yang Society's management died suddenly for various reasons, some public figures who had previously publicly supported the Xuan Yang Society were so frightened that they distanced themselves from it.

Misaki Miyu survived several more attacks unscathed, and her revenge against the Xuan Yang Society intensified, causing widespread panic throughout the island.

Faced with her radical approach, the Taiwanese Communist Party members who had previously publicly supported her fell silent, even those who considered themselves radical felt that she was too radical.

Miyu Misaki is aware of what others think, and has heard that some people have secretly compared her to a terrorist, but she doesn't care at all.

With a series of crazy actions, the opposition dared not openly refute her, and the experts she recruited to investigate various supernatural information became even more dedicated.

This made her secretly pleased with herself.

When she told the experts that they had to make a discovery within two months, they would even work overtime until midnight, and many of them even lived at the company.

Standing atop the Sanyou Building, overlooking the entire city, her eyes gleamed with ambition, tinged with a hint of madness.

……

Liang Siyuan's gaze was calm as he scanned the questions in front of him line by line, and his right hand quickly wrote down the answers.

After finishing the last question, he stretched out a long yawn.

He is now in high school.

After a semester of hard work, he was admitted to the best high school in the city with excellent grades a few months ago.

When he got to high school, all his classmates worked very hard, which made him study even harder.

Parents who used to be extremely wary and worried about their son playing games now often encourage him to play games to relax.

He understood his parents' thoughts; they were simply afraid that he was under too much pressure and might do something drastic, like the senior high school student from last month who was overwhelmed by academic stress.

Why would he be so suicidal?

He has even grander ideals!

When he met the dragon with his grandfather, he was promised certain conditions.

Once I graduate from university, I can be assigned to work in the place where that white dragon is!

The allure of being able to come into contact with that legendary creature surpassed that of any game!

He put the completed test paper aside and was hesitating whether to review some vocabulary or tackle a few more challenging math problems when he suddenly heard a knock on his bedroom door.

"Mom!" Liang Siyuan opened the door.

"Come out for a drink of water and relax a bit," Liang's mother said gently. "Studying is important, but it's also important to balance work and rest!"

She works for a large state-owned enterprise and is always very busy. She had applied for a job transfer several times before, but all her applications came to nothing. Some time ago, her superiors suddenly had a change of heart and transferred her to a less demanding position, which made her happy for a long time.

Being able to leave work on time every day gives her more time to spend with her son.

Her son's ambition was both a source of joy and a source of worry for her.

Today is Saturday, and Mr. Liang is also at home.

Seeing the mother and son enter the living room, he switched the TV to CCTV and said, "I received a text message saying that after today's news broadcast, an expert will teach a health-preserving exercise. You two can learn it together."

"I've heard that this kind of exercise can also help with weight loss," Liang's mother said with a smile. "Yuanyuan should learn it too; it can also improve blood circulation..."

The TV screen flickered and switched to a live program, from which a powerful voice rang out.

Just as Liang Siyuan was about to shake his head, he suddenly noticed the guests on the TV program, and his eyes were immediately glued to them.

"This health-preserving exercise is called 'Divine Crane Skill,' which is divided into dynamic and static exercises..."

"Because static exercises require a certain foundation, today we will be teaching dynamic exercises. Before practicing, everyone needs to prepare some food..."

Hearing the guest's words, Mr. Liang turned to his wife and laughed, "Why is this guy starting to talk nonsense? What kind of kung fu can make a person so hungry that not eating will damage their vital energy? Tsk, he's even talking about medicinal cuisine. Could he be selling Chinese medicine?"

Liang's mother also felt that what the other party said was a bit far-fetched, but Liang Siyuan's face showed unusual excitement.

He clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anticipation, and said first, "Mom, hurry up and prepare some food!"

Both of Liang's parents looked at their son with suspicion.

“I remember we have some beef at home, cut some up, and prepare other food as well… Oh well, let’s just order more takeout!” Liang Siyuan said quickly.

Mr. and Mrs. Liang couldn't help but exchange a glance, their eyes filled with worry.

Has my son really gone mad?

Seeing that his parents didn't say anything, Liang Siyuan patted his head and said, "Don't doubt it, there's nothing wrong with training with him. Didn't you notice? This was jointly released with the Divine Dragon Academy!"

If it weren't for confidentiality requirements, he would have told the two of them that he knew that person.

It was during a study tour in Jiangcheng that he accidentally stumbled upon those people's "water management" activities. He was then called to sign a confidentiality agreement, and later he happened to see that person.

Everyone calls him Captain Lei.

He is one of the white dragon's men!

……

Chapter 174 Could this be a dragon's tomb?

Seeing their son's resolute attitude, Mr. and Mrs. Liang became skeptical.

They had actually sensed long ago that their son seemed to be hiding some secret.

Since returning from his hometown that time, he has become a different person. He gave up gaming, became diligent and ambitious, and occasionally smiled foolishly at the distance.

This made Liang's mother suspect that her son had mental problems, which is why she often advised him to relax.

Liang's father also thought of his own father.

It was said that an old comrade-in-arms helped my father pull some strings and secure a large pension for him.

He inquired around and found that this situation was very unusual.

Regardless of whether my father's old comrade-in-arms had that much power, what gave him the right to do that?

He suspected something was amiss, but after inquiring a few times and being scolded by his father, he wisely refrained from asking any further questions.

Watching the host and guests talking eloquently on TV, and looking at the "Special Advisor of Shenlong Academy" badge on the guest named Lei Yao, his doubts spread like ripples.

He had heard of the extraordinary nature of the Divine Dragon Academy, and some even said it was the first "immortal cultivation academy" in the Great Xia Dynasty, which Liang's father had always scoffed at.

Seeing his son's reaction now, and combined with the conversation between the TV host and the guest, an uncontrollable, bold idea arose in his mind.

Is there really a way to cultivate immortality in this world?

But soon he shook his head, realizing he was being delusional.

If there truly were a method for cultivating immortality, how could the powerful and wealthy be willing to reveal it publicly?

By announcing this so openly, aren't they afraid of causing social unrest?

He thought he had a very clear understanding of this society.

In his view, rather than everyone being like a dragon, those in power would prefer everyone to be like sheep, docile, obedient, patient, and easy to tame.

Despite having this thought, Mr. Liang still gave in to his son's willfulness and ordered takeout on his phone.

The family of three sat in front of the television, quietly watching the program.

After explaining the preparations, the program switched to the indoor playground of Shenlong Academy.

Liang's mother took out the yoga mat from the house, laid it on the floor, and the family of three stood in the living room, following Lei Yao from the program to practice "Shenge Gong".

Lei Yao's explanation was very detailed, and despite having no prior knowledge, Liang Siyuan learned most of it in one go.

After finishing the first round of palm techniques, he was enveloped in a layer of heat, and his spirits were quite high.

He became much more skilled the second time, and felt warm all over after finishing.

By the time he finished the third round, his stomach was already growling.

At first, Mr. and Mrs. Liang did not take it seriously, but as they practiced the "Divine Crane Skill", they gradually felt the fullness and wonderful sensation of heat gathering in their bodies.

By the time the family of three finally stopped eating, it was already late at night, and they had finished all the takeout they had bought.

That same night, similar scenes unfolded in countless households across the Great Xia Dynasty.

That day, a wave of excitement swept across the internet in Daxia.

The Divine Crane Skill is truly extraordinary; even beginners can sense it.

Even if it only slightly enhances a person's physical condition, it is enough to cause a sensation on Earth, where extraordinary things are not readily apparent.

Aside from a few public intellectuals who questioned the practice because they were unable to cultivate it, everyone else was full of admiration.

This surging and passionate emotion was also spread to the internet, and was broadcast by major media outlets in various countries, including CCTV.

This matter has sparked heated discussions among the top officials of the United States.

Lei Yao's resurrection and his connection to the capsizing of the Mengala Bay aircraft carrier have drawn significant attention from the United States.

Just how powerful must the "health-preserving exercises" he personally taught be?

However, to the dismay of many high-ranking Sams, they discovered that this was exactly the same as what they had previously obtained through intelligence agents; they had not cultivated anything at all.

Is it really true, as some rumors suggest, that only the people of Great Xia can cultivate this extraordinary skill?

While those high-ranking Sams were urgently discussing the matter, President Sam stood in a lounge on his own estate and smoothly completed two sets of "Divine Crane Kung Fu".

After finishing his practice, he picked up a towel to wipe the sweat from his head, then picked up the soup on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

The decoction tasted slightly bitter, but it warmed him up nicely once it entered his stomach, easing his hunger considerably.

He smiled with satisfaction, thinking to himself that this ginseng soup from the Great Xia Dynasty was indeed remarkably effective.

After practicing the "Divine Crane Skill" for some time, his condition improved more and more.

In the past, when he took a few days off, rumors would circulate that he was terminally ill. Now, given his current mental state, no media outlet would fabricate rumors that his health has collapsed.

Just as he was about to take a short break and practice a couple more times, there was a knock on the door.

The president frowned, picked up his coat from the table and put it on, covering the bright red troop emblem on his chest, before opening the door.

Standing outside the door was his assistant; it was General Jones who informed him of the call.

Knowing that the other party was the person in charge of the military exercises with Cambodia, the president was a little puzzled. After going outside, he answered the phone.

The president was slightly surprised to hear General Jones's words.

"An earthquake?" he asked.

“Yes, the epicenter we detected is located in northern Cambodia,” General Jones said solemnly. “According to experts, it does not appear to be a naturally occurring earthquake.”

"You mean the Cambodians are conducting secret experiments?" the president asked with a smile. "Do they have the capability to develop nuclear weapons?"

“No,” General Jones said. “I’ve been told that there are some Daxia people operating there, and those Daxia people seem to possess extraordinary powers.”

The president's expression immediately turned serious.

"What are your thoughts?" he asked.

“I was planning to send a special forces unit over to take a look,” General Jones said, “but Prince Navin has been stopping me, I mean…”

"let it go."
