Military Shockwaves

Military Shockwaves

Beep! Beep! Beep!

A moment later, two signals connected in succession to Qin Ming and Lu Haochuan's video call, turning it into a multi-person conference.

Two familiar figures appeared on the screen.

Liu Xu! Li Dawei!

"Qin Ming, you've already broken through to the God of War Level?" Li Dawei's hair was somewhat gray, but his gaze remained exceptionally sharp.

At the beginning of the month, because of Qin Ming, the entire Military high command had held discussions and unanimously decided to give him the highest level of support.

Qin Ming himself had even boldly promised before him that he would become a War God by the end of the month.

But how long had it been?

"Chief! That's right. I only just broke through as well."

Qin Ming turned serious. Without wasting words, he flipped the camera around and filmed the Giant Rock Black Bear beneath his feet, along with more than twenty Advanced Beast Generals, before giving a simple explanation.

A Martial Warrior's strength certification did not have an absolute relationship with raw power and speed alone.

It was not as though a punching strength of 64 tons and supersonic speed automatically qualified someone as a War God.

Becoming a War God depended on strength certification!

If one could kill a Lord Level Monster, one was God of War Level.

For example, the certification assessment for joining the War God Palace required killing two Lord Level Monsters. Killing an Elementary Lord Level Monster qualified one as an Elementary War God, while killing a Middle Lord Level Monster qualified one as an Intermediate War God.

Everything was decided through actual combat.

"I understand. But you said your enslavement of these Monsters isn't yet proficient. What exactly is going on?"

Li Dawei took a deep breath and steadied the excitement in his heart.

It had been a long time since he had felt this excited.

"I improved a Secret Art from Spiritual Force User Basics, changing the Mind Communication Method into Forced Enslavement.

"The principle behind this Secret Art is simple. It uses Mental Force to condense spiritual spikes and bombs within a Monster's Sea of Consciousness.

"By controlling them, I can make it fall into extreme pain or even kill it!

"However, this is only a technique I came up with myself, so it still isn't very stable.

"Once it becomes more stable, I'll bring them back to the base."

Qin Ming aimed the video feed at the Giant Rock Black Bear beneath his feet, whose eyes were filled with savagery and killing intent.

Qin Ming was not lying about this.

He had no intention of concealing the Flesh Puppet ability.

But he needed a plausible explanation for it.

This was a technique he had created by combining the Spiritual Force User techniques he had mastered, such as Spiritual Spike, Illusion Demon Eye, and Dream Maze, with his familiarity and control over the Myriad Souls Banner and his manipulation of Flesh Puppet souls.

The world of Swallowed Star already had methods of Soul Enslavement. Earth simply did not.

Now that he knew the direction, and with the Myriad Souls Banner constantly strengthening souls, Qin Ming's Talent in Mental Force far surpassed anyone's imagination.

Creating such a crude Secret Art was not something incomprehensible.

But just as he had said, this Secret Art was still not proficient enough.

If Qin Ming acted personally, he could only Forcefully Enslave one or two Advanced Beast Generals, and it consumed a great deal of Mental Force. The gains did not outweigh the losses.

With further improvements, perhaps he would be able to control Lord Level Monsters of the same rank.

Only then could it truly be considered a Secret Art.

"Forced Enslavement?" The three people listening through the video all perked up.

Earth's existing Beast Tamers all relied on the Mind Communication Method to befriend Monsters. There was no such thing as control.

But Qin Ming was different. He directly seized control by force!

No wonder the Giant Rock Black Bear's gaze was so savage.

"Yes, it's actually quite simple! Beat it! Beat it until it submits, then leave a restriction in its Sea of Consciousness."

Qin Ming explained with a smile.

"I understand. Is it possible for others to learn this Secret Art of yours? If we can control some powerful Monsters, that would be extremely good news for us."

Li Dawei stared intensely at Qin Ming. In just thirteen days, Qin Ming had not only broken through to become an Elementary War God Spiritual Force User, but had also defeated the Giant Rock Black Bear and even created a Spiritual Force User Enslavement Secret Art!

What kind of genius was this?

How long would it take for him to become an Intermediate War God or a High-Level War God?

One month?

Half a year?

And then surpass a War God?

"Theoretically, it should be possible. However, I haven't fully mastered this Secret Art myself yet, and I still need some time to refine it.

"Once I've perfected it, I can teach it to others.

"However, this Secret Art may be somewhat difficult. I can't guarantee whether they'll be able to learn it."

Qin Ming answered without hesitation. This had been a small gift he had intended to give the Military.

"Excellent! As long as it can be learned, that's enough. Your strength has already reached the God of War Level, and you have successfully enslaved the Black Rock Giant Bear. You can fully pass the War God Palace assessment.

"Joining the War God Palace would also bring you quite a few benefits."

Li Dawei's tense mood relaxed somewhat.

"The War God Palace? There's no rush. It isn't important to me. I'd rather focus on improving my strength first. We can discuss joining the War God Palace later."

Qin Ming shook his head. Joining the War God Palace also required certification.

Where did he have the time for that?

He could deal with it when he had time in the future.

The War God Palace was not important to him. Joining would merely raise his status somewhat and provide discounts on weapons and similar purchases.

But for Qin Ming, the Military directly custom-made all his weapons and equipment for free.

For defense, he had the Black God Suit.

Money?

That meant nothing to Qin Ming, at least not Earth's money.

To put it exaggeratedly, the Military had even prepared underwear for him.

Whatever he wanted, they gave him.

Even if he wanted money, he had nowhere to spend it!

The ten billion in operational funds provided by the Military was still sitting untouched in his account.

The only things in the War God Palace that might be useful to him were items like Dragon Blood that improved physical fitness.

But to someone with Blood Essence and Soul Crystals, those were practically worthless.

Dragon Blood only improved physical fitness.

But Flesh Crystals and Soul Crystals could improve his physical fitness while also enhancing his Talent and potential!

Using Dragon Blood and similar items would be a complete loss for Qin Ming.

Because his strength had risen too quickly, what he lacked most now was training—raising his Force Multiplier as much as possible and improving his Body Technique.

The eightfold force exertion of the first level of Breaking Army Halberd, as well as his Micro-level Body Technique, were truly lacking.

This caused him to rely mainly on Mental Force in battle.

With the Myriad Souls Banner nourishing him, as well as the impact of the Monster souls and Evil Spirit Aura within it, his soul was growing rapidly. He was only a hair away from perfectly controlling the eighth Flying Knife.

That was equivalent to an eightfold Spiritual Force Amplitude.

"Then fine, there truly is no rush! Just focus your energy on improving your strength. You don't need to worry about anything else," Li Dawei said with a smile.

A Martial Warrior's rights and status came from strength!

With sufficient strength, power and status would come seeking you on their own.

As they spoke, Qin Ming suddenly raised his head and looked toward the sky. A blood-red disc-shaped Fighter Jet appeared among the clouds before rapidly descending.

Whoosh!

A black-clad figure leaped from the Fighter Jet and landed before Qin Ming.

"Chief!"

Qin Ming raised his hand in salute. The newcomer was none other than War God Liu Xu.

No wonder Liu Xu had remained silent during the video call. He had directly flown the Fighter Jet over.

"Haha, you're already a War God, so there's no need for such formalities. Before long, your military rank will be major general.

"Perhaps after some time, I'll be the one saluting you."

Liu Xu laughed as he looked at the Giant Rock Black Bear beneath Qin Ming's feet, radiating a terrifying aura, then glanced at the other Advanced Beast Generals nearby.

The impact of seeing it through a video feed was completely different from seeing it in person.

"You've truly given us a surprise. Even Council Member Jia Yi has been alerted. I came over to see whether you need any help."

With a trace of curiosity, Liu Xu walked up to the Giant Rock Black Bear. There were still injuries on its body, with blood around its armpit and neck. It had clearly just experienced a battle.

For him, this was an extraordinarily novel experience.

It was not as though he had never encountered Lord Level Monsters at close range before, but those encounters had always been life-or-death battles.

"Help? No need. Right now, I only want to remain in City 003 to fight and train. It's only an Elementary Lord Level Monster. That can't satisfy my appetite.

"There are several more Lord Level Monsters over there. I plan to go take a look."

Qin Ming smiled and shook his head as he looked into the distance, toward the urban district of City 003.

"I'm still thinking about the Spiritual Force User treasure in those Ruins."
