Four Great Families (Please Bookmark and Recommend)

Even though he was already exhausted, Lin Yan still persisted in cultivating Gene Energy.

Cultivation was not something achieved overnight, but something done day after day.

There was no room for the slightest slackness.

Only after his cells had absorbed their fill of energy did his consciousness truly fall into dormant sleep.

When he woke again, a day had already passed.

A new night had arrived.

Lin Yan opened his eyes. Liu Mingxuan and the other two had long since awakened. As for Liu Hong, after lending them a hand, he had withdrawn on his own and was not with them.

Liu Mingxuan casually asked, "Did you rest well?"

Lin Yan nodded.

Liu Mingxuan explained their current situation. "We contacted Xiang Yang and Chen Lian to find out what was going on. Chu Wei's family has already sent reinforcements. The military region knows we have help, so although they haven't sent anyone, the war zone staff headquarters has issued orders. Tianjing Air-to-Ground Guidance Base will maintain open communication with us, and if necessary, we can even call upon air-to-ground missiles for support."

"Tianjing Air-to-Ground Guidance Base?"

This was the Tianjing Military Region's trump card in wartime, as well as a major research base for military weapons.

The GTOE-43 missile he had simulated in the Mind Palace had been developed and deployed by Tianjing Air-to-Ground Guidance Base. More than thirty years ago, the chief designer of humanity's strongest weapon, the Ultra-High Frequency Laser Cannon, had served as director of the base's R&D department.

He was genuinely surprised that the military region had issued such an order.

Generally speaking, since humanity had yet to amass the strength needed to counterattack the Wilderness Area, air-to-ground guidance bases would not fire missile weapons into it, lest they trigger even more serious consequences.

Liu Mingxuan was not surprised by Lin Yan's reaction. In fact, he had been just as shocked when he first heard the news.

Lin Yan asked curiously, "Brother Wei, who's coming from your family?"

Chu Wei answered, "My uncle originally planned to come. He was Promoted to War God at the start of this year, and he's very formidable. Later, when my father learned about this, he was worried, so he decided to come rescue us himself."

"Although he isn't in the country right now, it'll be even faster for him to come directly in a King-level Intelligent Fighter."

Lin Yan exclaimed, "Brother Wei, what kind of family do you have? Your whole family is made up of War Gods!"

King-level Intelligent Fighters were extraordinarily precious. Not just any War God could own one!

Liu Mingxuan knew quite a bit about this. "The Chu Family is one of the HR Alliance's Twelve Great Families within the country. The Twelve Great Families are scattered across the major base cities, and Tianjing Base City, as Huaxia's capital, has four of them. They are also the strongest, so they are separately known as the 'Four Great Families.'"

"They are the Wang, Song, Chu, and Shi families. Though these great families belong to the HR Alliance, the HR Alliance's sphere of influence is mainly overseas. Having developed to this point, these families have descendants in both major martial arts schools, as well as in our government and military. When you encounter them in Tianjing in the future, try to be careful and don't provoke them too badly."

Hearing Liu Mingxuan's words, Chu Wei smiled bitterly. "Boss, you're worried this monster might provoke us? I'm more afraid that someone in my family who doesn't know any better might provoke him!"

This was no joke. After spending the past few days together, he truly felt that Lin Yan's potential was limitless. His temperament, talent, and comprehension were all exceptional. Once he grew up, he would surely become another Invincible War God!

He might even touch the realm above War God!

The Chu Family might be powerful, but there would inevitably be some spoiled and useless members within it. If one of them flaunted the Chu Family name and got into a conflict with him, Chu Wei would not know what to do.

Lin Yan merely took it as a joke and grinned. "Brother Wei, if you have any beautiful eighteen-year-old sisters, you can introduce them to me. Then we'll be family!"

Lin Yan had already written the script for becoming a live-in son-in-law of a wealthy family.

At the family banquet, eight thousand soldiers outside the door shouted in unison, "Please, War God, return to the world!"

His mother-in-law asked, "Who is the War God?"

The useless son-in-law Lin Yan silently rose to his feet and walked out the door.

Before long, all eight thousand and one people outside shouted loudly, "Please, War God, return to the world!"

Damn it, even your crossover got crossed up!

Chu Wei actually gave the question some serious thought, only to realize something was wrong with his family's genes.

He did not have a single pretty younger sister!

Pah!

It was 2056 already! Times had changed! This sort of behavior that violated free love was a backward custom!

Liu Mingxuan shook his head with a smile. "Stop messing around. I'm considering meeting up with Xiang Yang and Chen Lian tomorrow. They aren't strong enough. If anything happens and they're discovered by monsters, it'll be difficult for them to escape."

Lin Yan nodded. That was indeed true. "All right."

"I'm going to study the Po Jun Sword. I already have an idea. I'll probably master this SS-rank Sword Skill tonight."

He was brimming with confidence.

With the Mind Palace, it really was difficult not to be confident.

Chu Wei said in surprise, "Are you serious? It's an SS-rank sword technique. You've only had it for a few days! Besides, how much energy have you had to spare for it these past few days?"

Lin Yan said coolly, "Of course I'm serious."

"Awesome!" That was the only word Chu Wei could force out.

It had taken him over four months just to get started with the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade, and he had been proud of that for quite a long time. After all, the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade was famous for its difficulty.

But after meeting Lin Yan today, he finally understood the difference between heaven and earth.

Pah!

Chu Wei consoled himself inwardly. Four months was nothing. Round it off, and it was practically no time at all. He hadn't spent any time, and neither had I. We both have bright futures!

Watching Lin Yan sit in meditation with his battle sword in his hands, Liu Mingxuan said softly, "As expected... it's Lin Yan."

His narrow eyes gazed past the windowsill toward the bright moon in the distant sky.

Jia Yan recalled every word spoken by that young man on the first underground floor yesterday. He had done it. Even when surrounded on all sides, he had used a great fire to carve out a path of survival.

"That's why a guy like him is a genuine freak!"

Chu Wei laughed heartily. "Compared with that Gray Gorilla, he's the real monster we've never seen before!"

Liu Mingxuan smiled. He rarely smiled, because there were rarely interesting people and rarely interesting things. "Fighting shoulder to shoulder with such a monster is truly a fortunate thing."

He recalled that day, when a young student Second Lieutenant had asked him for guidance in swordsmanship. Yet he had never expected that from that day onward, the young student would become a martial artist, leaping through the Dragon Gate and taking on the bearing of a true dragon!

But Lin Yan knew nothing of their discussion. He had long since devoted all his energy to the Mind Palace.

He manifested within the Virtual Hall, holding a sword in his hand.

Another set of lines flowed forth, transforming into the manual for the Po Jun Sword. He had only memorized its contents; the original manual itself was stored in a designated confidential room within the military region.

But he could still manifest it using his memories.

The contents of the silver USB drive that came with the manual were also playing on a screen constructed within the Mind Palace.

Thus, he began his arduous training in the Mind Palace.

In his judgment, there was indeed an enormous gap between the two A-rank sword skills, All Things Severed and Thunderclap Sword, and the Po Jun Sword.

His entire consciousness was devoted to studying this sword technique.

At times, he danced through sword forms in the Virtual Hall; at others, he closed the manual and pondered. His mental power and computational ability had both reached an inhuman level, so his efficiency was naturally beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

In the end.

The screen shattered, and the manual turned to drifting ash.

He held his battle sword horizontally and began practicing the sword forms in the hall. Each level of the Po Jun Sword had thirty-six sword forms, and every three levels contained one secret sword technique. Only through mastery could they be wielded at will.

Every sword technique had its own sword forms. The Thunderclap Sword had seventeen forms, but whenever Lin Yan faced Beast Soldiers, he killed with a single strike. In his hands, the Thunderclap Sword had already been refined from complexity into simplicity, revealing its true essence.

Po Jun Sword (SS-rank) appeared in the skill list.

Po Jun Sword had generated the trait "Destruction"!
