Chapter 297: Chapter 204: Who is the peak of the Xuanxing Martial Arts? Seeing Jiang Shu makes all other paths seem void_2
"It’s just a pity that he didn’t want to join the research institute, otherwise, with his talent, he definitely could have found the path to Fetal Breathing before I ever did! He’s a true genius! A Martial Arts genius! Unprecedented in history, unmatched by anyone to come!"
*Even Wang Yan, whose Spiritual Cultivation had reached the Xuanxing Peak, found himself more and more shocked as he looked at that punch on the Green Sun Evil Wolf’s corpse.*
What kind of punch was this? Even a terrifying Mutant Beast like the Green Sun Evil Wolf had its vital organs completely shattered with just one punch; every cell inside had utterly died, not even a trace left alive.
*Could I even last three rounds against Jiang Shu now?*
*Wang Yan couldn’t help but wonder to himself.*
"He’s so young after all, not like you, Martial Saint Wang, who has seen and gone through so much. Give him time. And just from the trip to Fusang, it’s clear Martial Saint Jiang recognizes Xia Country without a doubt. Maybe he just feels it would be too stifling to join officially."
The general was rather open-minded about it; after Jiang Shu declined, he and the First Leader and other top brass had discussed the matter, all unanimously agreeing that, for now, it’s best to let Jiang Shu follow his own path.
As long as he didn’t leave to live abroad, as long as he was still in the country, everything could be left for him to arrange himself.
At worst, so what if progress in deciphering Spiritual Cultivation slowed down a little? Keeping this genius close was more important—they couldn’t risk it backfiring.
"Or maybe he can already see the way ahead..."
Tossing the Green Sun Evil Wolf he held onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust, Wang Yan spoke, his tone somewhat dispirited.
*Maybe people were just inherently different.*
*Just like there are some who can never even step into Hua Jing in their entire lives, yet he could break through all barriers and reach Gang Jin with ease. He could never understand why other Martial Artists couldn’t master Hua Jing. Maybe Jiang Shu couldn’t understand why he himself would need to ’sell himself’ to Xia Country just to advance further in Martial Arts, either.*
*Who knows, maybe from the very start, Jiang Shu was confident he’d reach the summit of Xia Country’s ancient Martial Arts... break the Void, behold the undying gods.*
*That kind of Talent was truly terrifying.*
Right as the three ten-man squads of soldiers were carrying off the Green Sun Evil Wolf, yet another dark shadow shot out from the tunnel.
The Crack Earth Barbarian Bear.
Again, killed with a single punch!
"Another Fifth Rank Mutant Beast, and Martial Saint Jiang still isn’t coming out?"
There was nothing but joyful surprise in the general’s eyes as he looked at the Crack Earth Barbarian Bear; after all, in the labs before, they only ever saw scattered limbs and remains at most from such-level Mutant Beasts!
After all, Fifth Rank Mutant Beasts—if not for missiles, even Gang Jin Martial Saints found it nearly impossible to defeat one in combat.
*Wang Yan himself had only managed to kill a Fifth Rank Mutant Beast after breaking through in Martial Arts, and even then, it was just an ordinary one. The difference between that and the current Green Sun Evil Wolf or Crack Earth Barbarian Bear was like that between an average Grandmaster and a top-fifty Hua Jing Master on the Grandmaster list.*
*For a complete corpse of a top-tier Fifth Rank Mutant Beast to be delivered to the research institute nearly intact, he couldn’t even imagine just how thrilled those researchers would be.*
*Even the mighty Freedom Country probably didn’t have access to Mutant Beast resources like this.*
*Secretly delighted, he asked Wang Yan beside him.*
*He wanted Jiang Shu to come safely out of the tunnel, yet also to keep fighting through hundreds of more rounds, throwing out more Fifth Rank Mutant Beast corpses, so Xia Country’s genetic research could reach new heights.*
"I don’t know, but it looks like there’s movement again."
As soon as Wang Yan finished speaking, a flash of crimson darted out.
This was an aerial sovereign!
Fifth Rank Mutant Beast—the Single-Horned Red Flame Eagle. Its red feathers blazed like fire, and on its ferocious brow, a single horn jutted out like a dragon sprouting horns—a terrifying power lingered there, as if it were a miniature volcano.
Its flight speed exceeded that of a normal missile, ten times the speed of sound!
At the very peak of the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, even Mutant Beasts like this were utterly annihilated by subnukes. In terms of raw terror, it even surpassed some beast-king–level Sixth Rank Mutant Beasts to some degree; if one really escaped from the Secret Realm, it would be an extinction-level disaster for the vast majority of nations.
Only countries like Xia Country or the Freedom Country, true powerhouses, could deploy enough missiles to shoot it down in the sky.
That was still just the ideal scenario—if the Single-Horned Red Flame Eagle made it into a large city, that city might be turned into a sea of fire; who knew how many innocent civilians would suffer apocalypse there.
"Good! Good! I must extol Martial Saint Jiang’s accomplishments!"
The general was boiling with enthusiasm, feeling a surge of energy blast straight up into his Heavenly Spirit Cover. He couldn’t help but shout loudly, "Glory to Xia Country, glory to Martial Saint Jiang! Glory to all our soldiers!"
Behind him, the officers all followed, raising their voices, "Glory to Xia Country! Glory to Martial Saint Jiang! Glory to all our soldiers!"
"Glory to Xia Country! Glory to Martial Saint Jiang! Glory to all our soldiers!"
Tens of thousands in the army—soldiers’ voices soared, and even the fighter pilots high in the sky could hear it clearly; they too, couldn’t help having their blood boil hot.
This was a flying-class Fifth Rank Mutant Beast!
Even fighter jets were like paper before these Mutant Beasts—and now, it had been slain with ease!
What a display of power.
What an achievement!
Martial Saint Jiang! Martial Saint Jiang!
*This was a sealed-off area; if those pilots from Fusang saw it, they’d never dream of getting into a fighter jet ever again in their lives.*
*Back in that battle with Fusang, one might have said they were hesitant to launch missiles too quickly, for fear of escalation.*
*But now, the Single-Horned Red Flame Eagle’s corpse was proof enough.*
Martial Saint Jiang had already conquered the skies!
