"Burning Martial" was widely promoted in China, yet not in other countries.
Obtaining a copied version was not difficult at all, but widespread promotion faced many issues.
In the United States, there was no direct plagiarism. The specific reasons were unclear, perhaps because the Superpower Users controlled the upper echelons, or perhaps it was a matter of face, or maybe they didn’t want to see the lower classes having a chance to change their destiny and disrupt the existing chains of interest.
Sakai Tetsuya swallowed the food in his mouth, easing his hunger a little before saying, "Yes... apart from that ’Prophet’, we also need to thank those inactive ’Controllers’ for our progress during this ti..."
He was well aware that in Japan, "Burning Martial" had not been widely promoted, and even specific regulations were introduced to limit the channels for ordinary people to obtain copies of "Burning Martial". The answer was simple — fear.
Class solidification, aging society, increasing conflicts between people, excessive work and life pressures, overflowing hostility...
To so extent, "Burning Martial" is like firearms, providing people with force, courage, and engendering thoughts they shouldn’t have, such as — changing their tragic fate.
Although Japan does not prohibit citizens from owning firearms, it is extrely difficult for ordinary citizens to own a gun legally.
Under various restrictions and fraworks, citizens can only legally possess air guns, hunting rifles, and shotguns, while other types of professional firearms are hard for ordinary individuals to own.
At this mont, soy sauce eggs with rice were served.
Zhou Yu buried his head in a frenzy of eating.
Sakai Tetsuya drank his sake and suddenly laughed coldly, with a hint of disdain for others’ lack in his laughter: "Those ’Controllers’ are too foolish; they don’t know that if this continues, in less than a month, the whole of Japan will beco the forbidden playground of our Profound Immortal Team?"
Zhou Yu, while shoveling rice into his mouth, looked strange and mumbled indistinctly, "You’re just being stubborn, saying you’ll be the first to resist Japan, but now you’re still holding onto wishful thinking."
"Honestly, you’re now a ’Three Cloud’ officer in the Profound Immortal Team, so you’d better recognize your position as soon as possible."
"Otherwise... you’ll die."
"And the speed at which your death will co will exceed your imagination."
Hearing this, Sakai Tetsuya took a deep breath, shook his head, and said in a daze, "As a Chinese saying goes, ’if you’re not in that position, don’t worry about its affairs!’ I don’t care about any of that!"
"Staying with the Profound Immortal Team is great! If I want money, I have money; if I want power, I have power; if I want a girlfriend, I have a girlfriend. What more could I be dissatisfied with?"
"Those who receive their lord’s bounty must serve their lord loyally."
"Anyone who can’t even do this is not worthy of being called human!"
"I am a Three Cloud officer of the Profound Immortal Team!"
These words from Sakai Tetsuya sounded less like an explanation to Zhou Yu and more like self-convincing.
In fact, he was very aware that even if, in the future, perhaps after the "Sea Demon Calamity", Japan might lift restrictions on "Burning Martial". By that ti, the version available would inevitably be an abridged version.
Most likely, it would only contain thods to cultivate to the Second Rank of Inner Qi.
...
At the sa ti.
In a pastoral residential district in Nara.
"Ogata Shitou!"
Ogano Shunzai’s eyes were bloodshot, glaring at the young man before him, wishing he could devour his flesh, drink his blood, flay him and remove his bones, to even crush his soul.
This was not his true ho, just a secondary residence.
Ogano Shunzai’s true ho was far away in London, by the Thas Riverfront, in the Wadsworth Mansion District.
But he never expected that just by refusing Ogata Shitou’s outrageous demand for annexation, the other side could be so ruthless and relentless, directly exterminating all forty-eight direct kin of the Okano family!
The entire Okano Clan now left only Ogano Shunzai alive.
His five wives and sixteen children, all dead!
His cousins all laid neatly outside the door.
"Profound Immortal Right Arm - Yin Yang Master!"
Ogano Shunzai gritted his teeth in hatred, wanting to live, but knowing that today he was dood to die; no amount of pleading would save him, so he might as well remain defiant to the end: "You Profound Immortal Team are acting against nature, making enemies worldwide; one day, you will et the sa end as I!"
"The entire Ogata Clan will et a miserable end!"
"And you, Ogata Shitou, are rely a loyal dog under the command of Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan!"
"Even if you survive, you’ll live in regret and pain, barely hanging on... Ah!"
Before Ogano Shunzai could finish, his head was cut off by a shikigami wielding a samurai sword beside Ogata Shitou.
"Such a shaless thing, I intended to let you commit seppuku for a dignified death, but you refused, wasting my precious ti here..."
Ogata Shitou looked with disdain at Ogano Shunzai’s headless corpse and said coldly, "While we Profound Immortal Team are busy saving this deeply ill-stricken country, he was holding us back from behind."
"This man, I want him utterly ruined!"
Destroy his body, ruin his na!
Without this, the severity of the Profound Immortal Team’s thods cannot be demonstrated; without this, the determination and attitude cannot be manifested!
Ogata Shitou felt that he had been rciful enough.
Even when demanding annexation, he rely asked for part of the opponent’s industry, leaving with much benefit, rely nominally bringing them under the Profound Immortal Team’s banner, that’s all.
Such simple demands, these greedy capital controllers couldn’t even satisfy, then they have no necessity to live!
As soon as Ogata Shitou finished speaking, a response imdiately ca from behind, "Yes! Obeying the Lord’s orders!"
With the impending Sea Demon calamity, while the Profound Immortal Team is busy saving the world, anyone unwilling to contribute and still resisting deserves death!
Yes, Ogata Shitou admits, this is moral coercion.
But...
So what?
In urgent tis, thods don’t matter.
It’s the leader’s orders.
The key is effectiveness!
Before Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan’s arrival, Ogata Shitou, as a National Guardian level Superpower User, was soone whom random nobodies could provoke and bully.
Was it lack of combat power?
No!
Never was.
What Ogata Shitou lacked was just a ruthless heart.
Even now, it’s the sa.
He wasn’t ruthless enough.
The harsh thods he displayed were only to save more people.
He didn’t care about reputation, nor profit; he only wished for more innocent people to survive.
In so ways, Ogata Shitou and God Gray are similar.
However, Ogata Shitou conceals his true emotions better and is more suited for execution tasks, rather than being in the upper ranks.
"Next, seize the outstanding players in the neighboring Extraordinary events!"
"Those who want to co, offer high prices, directly recruit."
"Those who want to co but are restricted, notify !"
Ogata Shitou, saying this, knew clearly, not just he himself, but Zhou Yu might also have to start doing the sa soon.
Ishizuka Koutarou... no, the man nad Quanyi, quietly stood behind Ogata Shitou and imdiately responded, "Ogano Shunzai didn’t understand that ’recognizing the situation makes for a smart hero,’ obstructing our great cause, wanting to cause the death of over six million innocent Earthlings."
"The cause of his death will be arranged in the trending lists and news dia within twenty-four hours!"
Previously, when Quanyi compiled the evidence and released it to the public, the nas of the tragically killed Yoshimoto Naoto and Mita Ryu were thoroughly ruined.
Now, doing such work again, he managed it with ease and confidence.
As his ability grew, Quanyi’s attitude towards Ogata Shitou dared not be as casual as before.
The reason was simple — Ogata Shitou no longer resisted using lethal thods.
Not only Quanyi, even the elders from both sides of his family, on seeing Ogata Shitou now, were cautious, humble in their attitude, even speaking without daring to take a deep breath.
The Yin Yang Master, who gradually understood the joy of slaughter, exerted deterrence hundreds of levels above those who were unwilling to kill!
The moral chains binding this man, have at so point, lted and shattered, vanished without a trace.
...
"Ogata Shitou and Zhou Yu, have grown very fast..."
A smile of satisfaction appeared on Ma Ran’s face as he received the report, "Blood and combat are indeed the best catalysts."
In a past life, Ogata Shitou stood up during the Sea Demon calamity, attempting to stop "Feng Yuji", all his shikigami were shattered, his soul was severely damaged, and he lay unconscious for an entire year before waking up.
After awakening, the Yin Yang Master’s reputation plumted, the family’s assets were divided, and he fell into a dark abyss, until over two years later he was rescued by Ma Ran, suddenly awakened, becoming an excellent Civilization Guardian.
This period of rapid expansion in the Profound Immortal Team’s influence also quickly spread the na "Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan" and certain personal information throughout Japan.
