Chapter Thirty-Four: The Divine Beast's Strength

  In Longhua City's main base, Zhang Huaming and the team leaders of Langya Squad gathered together to discuss their next battle strategy.

  "Wang Xiong, are you all set with the things I asked you to prepare last time?"

  "As for Lord's words, last time according to the drawings you left behind, I ordered the ironworkers in the city to work overnight and had already built twenty catapult carts a month ago."

  "What about the powerful crossbow?"

  "Boss, six hundred strong crossbows have been completed."

  Zhang Huaming heard this news and nodded his head in relief, then continued to ask: "What about the weapons?"

  "Hey, boss, you're talking about this guy, right?" Wang Xiong chuckled and pulled out a strange weapon from beside his leg. The head of the weapon was sharp and pointed, with three triangular grooves in the middle, and three small gutters on the side. If an Earthling were to see this weapon, they would immediately recognize it as a bayonet, a deadly instrument for killing.

  Zhang Huaming took the military dagger from Wang Xiong's hand, looked at it left and right, and nodded slightly. Although this space-cast military dagger is not very good, it is better than nothing. Moreover, this space uses manual casting, which has some advantages over machine casting. For example, the blood groove can be adjusted according to the size of the military dagger. The handle of the military dagger can be installed with a socket, and adding a long handle can make it a long gun for use. Once disassembled, it can become a stick and a dagger for use, making it more versatile.

  "Wang Xiong, have those who stayed behind all learned how to use the weapons?" Zhang Huaming asked with utmost concern.

  Wang Xiong heard his boss ask this question, and immediately his eyes sparkled with excitement, exclaiming: "Boss, that remaining eighteen military stabs are really awesome, many brothers practiced it and praised it endlessly, their combat effectiveness has increased by at least five times compared to usual."

  Zhang Huaming smiled as he listened to Wang Xiong speaking. When Wang Xiong finished, Zhang Huaming asked with a smile: "To what extent have you cultivated your Golden Vajra Subduing Demon Body?"

  Wang Xiong, who was still in an excited state, heard the boss's words and immediately retracted the triumphant expression on his face, replacing it with a guilty one: "Boss, I'm sorry. I just broke through to the first layer, but don't worry, I'll definitely intensify my cultivation."

  "Have you broken through the first layer?" Zhang Huaming's face showed a look of surprise, he was still trying to cultivate the Golden Body Subduing Demon, thinking back to when he was on Earth, in the Shaolin Temple, only one person could successfully cultivate it. At that time, when he passed it down to Wang Xiong, it was just an experiment, because cultivating this set of skills required too many factors, and if you weren't careful, it was easy to go crazy.

  "Ah, boss, look." Wang Xiong nodded and stood up. His clothes puffed out instantly, a gust of wind blew around him, and the next moment, a hissing sound erupted. Suddenly, the upper half of Wang Xiong's clothes burst open, revealing a faint yellow glow on his body.

  Zhang Huaming saw this scene and immediately realized that Wang Xiong had broken through the first layer, so he waved his hand and said: "Alright, withdraw your energy."

  "Yes, boss." Wang Xiong immediately responded.

  "Don't envy Wang Xiong, you guys. As long as you practice the skills I've taught you diligently, you will definitely not be inferior to others in the future."

  "Yes, boss." Qian Duoduo and others responded in unison.

  "Wang Xiong, from now on, when you cultivate, if there's anything you don't understand, remember to come find me. Don't force yourself to cultivate, do you know?" Zhang Huaming said with a serious expression, after all, the Golden Fow-Mo Body Technique was profound and complex, and if one wasn't careful during cultivation, it was easy to go astray and suffer from demonic possession. In lighter cases, one's cultivation would be completely lost, while in more severe cases, one could even lose their life on the spot.

  Wang Xiong saw his boss's serious expression and knew it was a sign of concern for himself, so he immediately responded: "Yes, boss."

  "Alright, you all go down now! Let those young ones intensify their cultivation and training."

  "Yes, boss." Wang Xiong and others stood up in unison to respond.

  "Go!" Zhang Huaming said with a casual wave of his hand.

  "Yes." Wang Xiong and others all bowed and took their leave, exiting the stone hut.

  Zhang Huaming waited until Wang Xiong and others left before speaking up: "Kayen, what you said earlier was true?"

  "En." Karyn nodded with an expressionless face and said, "But that kid is only a beginner Wu Shen after all."

  "Entry-level Martial God?" Zhang Huaming's heart was shaken, how did Dongguo find such an expert this time? To know what the definition of Entry-level Martial God is? To put it bluntly, it's like having a nuclear bomb, how could it possibly participate in this small country's trivial battle? Unless there's one possibility.

  "What about the other one?"

  "There was also someone around Brother's age who had attained the initial stage of Wu Zun cultivation."

  "Is the age about the same? Initial stage of Wu Zun's cultivation?" Zhang Huaming was almost knocked out by this sentence, grandma drop, he himself had crossed over and retained more than 20 years of hard work in his soul to have such strength, but others were actually even higher than him, how is this possible?

  Kaiyan seemed to see the source of Zhang Huaming's depression and continued: "However, brother, you are two or three years younger than that kid, and that kid's cultivation is not from his own practice, but from relying on the power of elixirs to boost it up. His realm is very unstable."

  "Dan medicine? Medicine power increase?" Zhang Huaming heard Kayan say this and his eyes lit up: "Kayan, what do you mean by that?"

  "Brother, you should know that in the ancient times of the Wulin Continent, there was a legend about the Dan Medicine Master, right?"

  "Alright."

  "Actually, brother, the way humans cultivate is to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, gather it in the body, go through a certain process and accumulation, and then slowly break through. The effect of elixirs is to speed up the gathering of spiritual energy, even to the point where you can reach the top in one step. This result has its pros and cons. The good thing is that your cultivation will improve, but the bad thing is that your foundation will be completely gone, your roots will not be stable, and once you collapse, you'll never be able to get back up."

  "So it was like this." Zhang Huaming thought to himself.

  "But if one has reached the Martial God Realm, then taking some elixirs to boost their cultivation isn't a big deal. After all, for someone who has reached this realm and wants to take another step forward, it's already extremely difficult." Karyn suddenly spoke up again.

  Zhang Huaming heard Kayan's words, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind. He opened his mouth to ask: "Kayan, is the Martial God the highest realm that a cultivator can achieve?"

  "Pfft!" Kayan, who was drinking juice, spat it out and coughed several times before looking up with a sulky expression: "Brother, how can the Martial God be the highest realm? Don't you know I'm still in my juvenile phase?"

  "Infancy?" Zhang Huaming was taken aback by this sentence, what kind of cultivation level is it talking about? Wait, infancy? Zhang Huaming suddenly thought that Kayan had the power of no less than the Martial God realm in just his infancy as a divine beast, so what would his cultivation be like when he matured? It couldn't still be Martial God cultivation, could it?

  "Are you saying there's still a cultivation level above Martial God?"

  "Of course! Our divine beasts are divided into three stages, the first stage is my current juvenile stage, the second stage is the growth stage, and the third stage is the mature stage. If the Wushen on the Martial Continent is the highest realm, then when will it be human's turn to dominate this continent? It has long been a continent controlled by divine beasts."

  "You mean to say there are many divine beasts on this continent?"

  "I'm not sure, but I remember that on this continent, there's a place where there are at least thirty divine beasts, and several of them are definitely mature." Karyn said with an uncertain expression.

  "What? Where is it?" Zhang Huaming was shocked, thirty divine beasts? Even if they were in their juvenile stage, that would represent the existence of thirty super powerful warriors! And several mature ones? Wouldn't that represent an even more terrifying existence than thirty super powerful warriors?

  Kaiyan's face showed a hint of reminiscence, and he suddenly exclaimed: "I remember now, it was Beast God Mountain, one of the four forbidden lands in the Martial Continent."

  "Shòu Shén Shān?" Zhang Huaming felt that this name was somehow familiar when he heard it. Suddenly, a stunningly beautiful face flashed through his mind, and he immediately remembered where he had heard this name before - from Yu Yan's follower's mouth. It seemed that Yu Yan's identity wasn't so simple after all.

  "That's right, it's Beast God Mountain." Karyn responded with a very affirmative tone.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!" Suddenly, the ground shook slightly, interrupting the question-and-answer session between Zhang Huaming and Karyn.
