"In this way, hasn't the Western Pole Kingdom and Europe long been conquered?"
Ye Qingzhou couldn't help but click his tongue.
The Western Pole Kingdom was dominated by the Blood-Colored Sanctuary, the entire nation from top to bottom had beco an exclusive ranch for the Holy Blood Thirteen Clans, with billions of souls turned into upright lambs.
And Europe was even worse. Although it had the Divine Hall, theoretically possessing Martial God level combat power, the gods didn't actually care about the life and death of European countries. They only granted them a portion of power to maintain the developnt of the Star God Armor combat system.
But this grant was not free, for the ownership of the Star God Armor remained in the hands of the gods. European countries only had the right to use the battle suits.
This was equivalent to the gods just crafting the embryo of the Star God Armor battle suits, while the subsequent refinent and nurturing were entirely the labor of Europe, using generations of martial artists' blood, flesh, and wisdom to 'feed' the battle suits. When the 'fruit' matured, the gods would naturally co to harvest.
"This way of martial arts cultivation is simply demonic, how is it any different from blood sacrifice?"
Even Ye Qingzhou felt a chill down his spine after understanding the crux of it and was once again thankful that after crossing over, he ca to the Dongji Kingdom.
If he had crossed over to Europe or the Western Pole Kingdom and cultivated their martial arts path, he feared he would have directly fallen into a pit, toiling in vain only to beco sustenance for the gods.
After chatting for a long ti, Duann Ming finally rembered the main issue he wanted to discuss with Ye Qingzhou on this trip: "Your Absolute Sword alias is now on the Shadow chanism's blacklist. Do you want to manage this identity well?"
"What are you trying to say?"
"Ahem, you stirred up such a big deal, we at Heart Evil Stream can't bear this bla for nothing, can we?"
Duann Ming grinned: "Now that Heart Evil Stream is expanding globally, so of the original old mbers have gone abroad to open new fronts. Therefore, there are vacancies for important positions in so key dostic regions that need to be filled."
Ye Qingzhou imdiately understood.
The Heart Evil Stream was short of people, especially lacking grandmaster-level experts to oversee. Thus, Duann Ming ca to ask Ye Qingzhou to 'fill the hole'.
Such an opportunity, many would probably fight hard to seize; the developnt of Heart Evil Stream was in full swing. How much power and resources would a regional officer wield?
But for Ye Qingzhou, it's truly a 'thankless task'.
He was wholehearted about martial arts, with no interest in power.
As for resources, he owned the Cangyuan Realm, albeit incomparable to Blue Star in quality, at least he was the lord of a whole realm, able to mobilize imnse wealth and resources at a single command.
Even when it ca to rare treasures, Ye Qingzhou had channels from the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom.
It's like asking a billionaire to beco a neighborhood committee director; no matter how much profit and benefits, it's still a thankless task for a billionaire.
"Sigh, what a hassle."
Ye Qingzhou wanted to refuse, but the Absolute Sword alias was simply too useful. Even if he stirred up a great ss, the bla wouldn't fall on him.
Rights and duties are equivalent; to obtain, one must pay.
"Alright then, where do you plan to send ?"
"Surely not to a poor mountain valley."
Seeing Ye Qingzhou agree readily, Duann Ming also sighed a breath of relief, then cheerfully replied, "Weren't you specially admitted to the Imperial University Martial Arts Departnt? Just right, after enrollnt, you can imdiately take office and manage the organization's assets and forces there."
"Hmm."
Ye Qingzhou responded casually.
Anyway, he'd already decided that once he went, he would just be a hands-off manager. Only when his subordinates encountered troubles they couldn't solve would he personally intervene.
......
Ti flies, and graduation season arrived in the blink of an eye.
This year, thanks to Ye Qingzhou's presence and the other strong-to-the-extre mbers, Linjiang First High School ford the strongest dream team and once again secured victory with an undefeated record, dominating the high school martial arts world of the Dongji Kingdom, invincible everywhere.
After the competition, the joy of victory only lasted a brief mont, for the ti of parting had co.
Leon was going abroad for further studies. His family had already arranged for him to study abroad in the Western Pole Kingdom, and at a top Ivy League school at that.
He had no choice; the martial arts world in the country was too competitive, especially with the governnt's policy of strongly supporting the civilian martial artists, causing the talents nurtured by martial arts families to often lack any competitiveness.
It's no wonder, for the geniuses of martial arts families are often rely one in a hundred, at best one in a thousand.
Whereas martial artists born in civilian ranks, which one isn't at least one in a thousand?
One in ten thousand is barely worth ntioning; the truly outstanding civilian talents are one in a hundred thousand, even one in a million prodigies, and the second-generation cultivators from martial arts families, even with piled-up resources, have nothing to compete against such a group of freaks.
In reality, the further one proceeds in martial arts cultivation, the more important talent becos, with resources being secondary.
This is evident from the fact that, although the Divine Gang Dao established by martial arts families failed to cultivate a Martial God, Zhangg Xinwu, a civilian, succeeded in Ascension to Divinity.
Zhangg Xinwu's success further encouraged the Dongji Kingdom's resolve and courage to invest in civilian martial artists.
Aside from Leon, Huang Liwen went to Modu University, and Zhu Jinfeng went to Xiangjiang; neither chose to enter the Imperial University's Martial Arts Departnt.
Zhu Jinfeng, because of her family's arrangents, while Huang Liwen was due to the excessive offerings from Modu University.
The saying goes, better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.
The Imperial University Martial Arts Departnt is certainly the top-ranked in the Dongji Kingdom, but the number of geniuses there is overwhelming; anyone who enters might just find themselves pressed to the limits.
