After the Breakup I Took It Easy and Became Invincible Chapter 99 : Chapter 99

Chapter 99. Dad’s Mortal Body Ascends to Godhood, and Huaxia’s Commander-in-Chief Changes His Tune Instantly!

The next day, at Huaxia’s Strategic Departnt.

“Commander-in-Chief, I have two pieces of news that are neither good nor bad.”

The Strategic Departnt’s minister, Yue Ming, walked into the office in full military uniform and let out a sigh.

Huaxia’s Commander-in-Chief, Hong Wu, looked up at him and asked, “Is this about the Jiang family?”

“Yes.” Yue Ming’s expression shifted for a mont before he continued, “We received a report from the garrison stationed at the Heaven-Sacrifice Ruins. For reasons unknown, Jiang Zhentian suddenly transford into a blazing sun last night and rose into the night sky.”

“The surrounding demonic beasts all knelt in submission, as though they had seen a Beast Emperor. After that blazing sun faded, Jiang Zhentian reforged his body, and his aura beca even more powerful.”

Hong Wu narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed in wonder. “Reforging his body… Has Jiang Zhentian already taken that step so soon and shed his mortal flesh?”

“The plan has changed. Send word to the garrison at the Heaven-Sacrifice Ruins and instruct them to treat Jiang Zhentian with full courtesy. For now… we will wait and see.”

There was a trace of helplessness in his voice. He had originally intended to use the opening of the Heaven-Sacrifice Ruins expedition to test whether Jiang Zhentian was truly loyal to Huaxia.

But now, there was no longer any need to test him.

Jiang Zhentian had taken that step and beco a true god!

Perhaps he would be the one to usher in the Twilight of the Gods.

Hong Wu steadied himself. Deep, unreadable emotions seed to stir within his profound eyes.

“Right, what was the other matter?”

Yue Ming took out a replay of yesterday’s first team league match. “The Spark Team trained by Jiang Yichen entered the preliminary round with a ninth-rank Magical Artifact for every single mber. Such a flamboyant display of the Jiang family’s foundation is likely not without ulterior motives.”

Hong Wu frowned slightly. Arming an entire team with ninth-rank Magical Artifacts just for the preliminaries was indeed abnormal.

Jiang Zhentian had handed the Jiang family’s ninth-rank Magical Artifacts to his son. Was he deliberately displaying the Jiang family’s foundation as a warning to ?

“And, Commander-in-Chief, there is sothing unusual about Spark Team as well.”

Yue Ming handed over Spark Team’s files. “Three of its mbers are direct-line descendants of great families, and their progress in martial cultivation over the past month has been astonishingly fast!”

Hong Wu took the files, and shock appeared in his eyes. “What? The three of them were only at the fourth realm during the martial exam, yet in just one month they have all advanced to the fifth realm.”

Not even the most famous cultivation sanctuary in Huaxia could produce progress at such a terrifying speed.

What exactly was going on?

“I cannot figure it out either. What kind of training thod could make three people improve this quickly? If it could be applied to the army, the casualties among the frontline soldiers might be reduced sowhat.”

Yue Ming looked at the frontline casualty report, his gaze extrely complicated.

Hong Wu drew in a deep breath. “These three scions all seem to have the potential to beco Martial Gods.”

“And this Jiang Yichen, who was rumored to be a good-for-nothing, also seems harder and harder to read.”

“Yue Ming, do not be too anxious yet. The casualties among the frontline soldiers during this beast tide have been severe.”

Patting Yue Ming on the shoulder, he said, “In another month, the military district internships for the major martial academies will begin. Give them so ti, and they will help fill the manpower shortage at the front.”

“Also, I am giving you special authority. Keep these outstanding seeds in the military district and have them serve the nation.”

Yue Ming was taken aback and asked in confusion, “But how do we explain that to the great families? They do not want their children going sowhere as dangerous as the wilderness.”

“Hmph!”

Hong Wu let out a cold snort. “I will handle that personally. The frontline soldiers are using their lives to protect the Five Great Regions, not so those people can sit back and enjoy themselves.”

“Pay special attention to the four direct-line heirs on Spark Team. Make absolutely sure they participate in the military district internship. Not a single one of them is to be omitted.”

“The nation has nurtured them. They must shoulder the responsibility of protecting Huaxia.”

Yue Ming’s eyes widened slightly. This was the first ti he had ever seen the Commander-in-Chief act with such resolve.

Military district internships had been written into the law. Every martial artist graduating from a martial university was required to spend two years interning in a military district.

But those old n from the great families had all lived through the Great Cataclysm and suffered greatly in those years.

Naturally, they did not want their children to suffer as well, so every ti military district internships ca around, so of the great families found loopholes to avoid them.

As for that, the Commander-in-Chief had always turned a blind eye. It was, in a sense, compensation for the great families’ contributions to Huaxia during the Great Cataclysm.

But now, beast tides on the front lines were becoming more and more frequent, and the soldiers’ casualties were rising ever higher. Although recruitnt had never stopped, it was still only a drop in the bucket.

What the front lines needed were true martial prodigies.

That was likely why the Commander-in-Chief was being so resolute now.

Yue Ming brought his feet together and saluted the Commander-in-Chief. “Commander-in-Chief, please rest assured. I will forge these geniuses into blades for Huaxia!”

A faint smile appeared on Hong Wu’s sowhat aged face.

“Huaxia must not be destroyed in my hands. That is the promise I made to the previous Commander-in-Chief!”

…

Ti passed quietly, and Jiang Yichen returned once more to his leisurely life of taking it easy.

Aside from accompanying Spark Team to matches now and then, and occasionally going shopping or taking walks with Su Linyu, he gave the rest of his ti over to whatever sudden whim struck him.

While walking through a scenic area one day, he saw soone painting mountain peaks, and in that instant, the urge struck him.

So he bought a sketch board and paints, then sat down on the grass with Su Linyu and sketched the golden peaks under the morning sun.

His own painting, however, looked like a complete ss, while Su Linyu’s actually looked quite decent.

Sotis, he truly felt that Su Linyu was an all-around genius who could learn anything.

But when he asked her about it, her answer moved him for quite a while.

“As long as it’s sothing Brother Yichen likes, I’m willing to learn it. That way, Brother Yichen and I will always have endless things to talk about.”

Now that was what you called a true warrior of pure love.

“Brother Yichen, we’re facing Thunder Team tomorrow, but sothing has co up.”

In the office, Su Linyu took out her phone. On it was a trending post.

“The 30th Huaxia Team League will adjust its competition rules in order to ensure fairness.”

?

Jiang Yichen frowned slightly. The tournant had already been underway for half a month, and now they wanted to adjust the rules.

He picked up the phone and looked it over, quickly noticing sothing wrong.

Soone was deliberately steering public opinion.

Heh. It was probably his cousin Jiang Feng again.

That cousin of his might look rather foolish, but his thods were actually quite sophisticated.

Jiang Yichen smiled. “They are probably going to ban you from using ninth-rank Magical Artifacts. It’s fine. In that case, just show them your real strength.”

You can ban my weapons, but my team is cultivating Heaven-rank Cultivation Arts across the board. What are you going to use to fight them?

“All right, Brother Yichen. I’ve long wanted to have a truly satisfying fight. Using ninth-rank Magical Artifacts to instantly crush people every ti does feel great, but in the end, they are still external objects.”

Su Linyu grew excited as well, looking eager to give it a try.

“Oh, right, Brother Yichen. Auntie said she wants to co take a look at your training base today, and Uncle Tang and Uncle Chu are coming too. They said they were curious about your training thods.”

Jiang Yichen raised a brow when he heard that. “All right, then. Don’t be nervous. Just train the way you normally do.”

“Ah? But if Auntie sees our sunbathing training, won’t that look bad?”

Worry appeared in Su Linyu’s eyes. “How about we put on a bit of a show and act more hardworking, so Auntie and the others will approve?”

The main problem was that this training thod was admittedly a little difficult for most people to understand. It would be very easy for them to misunderstand it.

She did not want Brother Yichen to get scolded by his mother again.

Jiang Yichen stroked his chin and began to think, when the system’s prompt suddenly rang out in his mind.

【Ding! A slacking choice has been triggered…】
