Chapter 45: Rising to Fame, Soul Inner Vision

Instantly defeating an Intermediate Lord Level Monster was something few could accomplish even within the War God Palace.

And after defeating it, he could even enslave it.

Not a single one!

"Who is this person? How could the Military have such a terrifying War God, yet we have no information about him at all?"

Only after the mysterious Military War God left surrounded by Monsters did the two come to their senses, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

"He looked at me earlier. He must have noticed me."

"From such a distance, he could detect us watching him. And he instantly severely wounded and enslaved an Intermediate Lord Level Tiger Howl Dog. His strength must have reached High-Level War God, perhaps even Invincible War God!"

The burly War God spoke in a low voice.

"Report this to the higher-ups. The Military has produced such an expert, yet we knew nothing."

The two of them were both War Gods from Thunderbolt Martial Arts and normally had a very good relationship, which was why they had come out hunting together.

"Alright, report it!"

They immediately uploaded what they had witnessed, along with the battle footage captured by their portable recording devices.

Almost simultaneously, in other areas of the city, Martial Warriors from the Limit Martial Arts School, the HR Alliance, and even forces from other nations also uploaded the footage they had recorded to their respective organizations.

City 003 gathered War God experts from nearly every top force in the world to hunt Monsters.

And the battle that had erupted among multiple Lords was simply too astonishing. Even dozens of miles away, it could be heard.

Such continuous fighting naturally drew a large number of experts to watch.

Lord Level Monsters were different from Beast General Level Monsters. Every one of them was accounted for.

Kyoto Base City.

Inside an ancient building, Jia Yi, dressed in military uniform, sat in his office. With a grave expression, he opened the battle footage and watched it closely.

This was clearly battle footage taken from the sky, from a first-person perspective.

Below, the Intermediate Lord Level Bloodthirsty Tank was instantly forced into a desperate situation under the siege of more than ten Lord Level Monsters.

It fell beneath the claws of an Intermediate Lord Level Tiger Howl Dog, its body drenched in blood.

Then the camera in the sky suddenly swooped down and settled before the Bloodthirsty Tank. A hand completely encased in black armor reached out and pressed against the Bloodthirsty Tank's head.

The Bloodthirsty Tank's eyes abruptly widened, its pupils losing focus as a heart-rending wail tore from its mouth.

The wailing lasted for nearly fifteen minutes.

In the end, the Bloodthirsty Tank fell silent, its enormous body going limp as though it were dead.

Yet after a while, the Bloodthirsty Tank opened its eyes again. Its gaze had turned blood-red, filled with savagery and bloodlust, but it could only lower its head helplessly.

As though it had submitted, it struggled to rise to its feet.

"Young people are truly formidable. He can even forcibly enslave an Intermediate Lord Level Bloodthirsty Tank! Huaxia has finally produced a top-tier Spiritual Force User expert."

With satisfaction and gratification, Jia Yi carefully watched the video once more before picking up a document from beside him.

No!

It should be called a Secret Art!

Spiritual Force User Secret ArtBinding Heart Cone!

Binding Heart Cone: Transform Mental Force into invisible shackles and drive a heart cone into the Sea of Consciousness. It has a certain bewitching effect on Monsters and can issue commands to their subconscious, such as making them acknowledge oneself as their master.

Furthermore, when the Binding Heart Cone enters the opponent's Sea of Consciousness, it can inflict immense pain upon their soul. Detonating the Binding Heart Cone at a critical moment can severely damage their mental power or even kill them outright.

"This Secret Art combines numerous traits from Spiritual Force User Basics, such as Spiritual Spike, Illusion Demon Eye, and bewitchment, but it is far more profound.

"It has only been such a short time, yet Qin Ming has created such a powerful Secret Art. He can even forcibly control Intermediate Lord Level Monsters."

Even Jia Yi was shocked inwardly.

Of course, this Secret Art was not without flaws.

If used purely in battle, it was only somewhat stronger than other Secret Arts.

To enslave other Monsters as Qin Ming had done, one had to completely defeat them, leaving them without the strength to resist, before carrying out extremely precise operations within their Sea of Consciousness.

Moreover, controlling Monsters placed no small burden on one's own Mental Force.

It was like constantly controlling a Flying Knife.

"It is nearly impossible for other Spiritual Force Users to achieve what Qin Ming has done. But they should still be able to control one or two Monsters of the same level.

"This would also be no small boost to the Military's strength."

With satisfaction, Jia Yi solemnly put away the Secret Art, then dialed a number and said in a deep voice.

"Raise the security level for Qin Ming's family by another tier. He absolutely cannot be allowed to have any worries behind him!"

Hongning Base City.

Limit Martial Arts School Global Headquarters.

Inside a palace built in the style of ancient Huaxia architecture, a man and woman wearing golden masks watched the image projected before them.

Endless city ruins stretched into the distance, filled with smoke.

More than ten Lord Level Monsters were fighting madly within them. Their roars shook the heavens, and building after building collapsed in their wake.

Whoosh!

A lightning-like figure suddenly shot out from the sky.

The body of the besieged Intermediate Lord Level Crimson Scale Mystic Python suddenly stiffened, and the other Monsters surrounding it instantly seized the opening and severely wounded it on the spot.

The Thunderclap Eagle descending from the sky crouched on the ground. A figure strolled leisurely toward the Crimson Scale Mystic Python, which had been firmly restrained by the other Lord Level Monsters, and pressed a hand against its house-sized head.

Fifteen minutes later, the hand withdrew.

The Crimson Scale Mystic Python submitted.

"Report this to the Chief Hall Master. To forcibly enslave an Intermediate Lord with Mental Force, his strength has to be at least High-Level War God, perhaps even Invincible War God.

"More importantly, this method is far too strange."

After a moment of silence, the cold-tempered man in the golden mask spoke.

This footage had been recorded from afar using a War God Palace wrist communication device. Although it had been filmed from a great distance, it was extremely clear and captured every detail of the battle.

"Yes. This should be some top-tier War God hidden by the Huaxia Military, someone who has not even joined the War God Palace."

Beside him, the woman spoke as well. Even with half her face hidden behind a golden mask, her exposed features and seductive figure showed that she was a peerless beauty.

The two immediately contacted Chief Hall Master Hong!

Moments later, an order was issued.

Investigate this person's identity thoroughly!

Similar scenes were playing out at Thunderbolt Martial Arts.

Even Hong and Thunder God had personally taken notice. The virtual palace within the War God Palace had become even more chaotic.

Some rejoiced, while others worried.

Without exception, everyone began investigating, hoping to obtain firsthand information on this mysterious War God—whether to recruit him, oppose him, or even kill him.

"This should be enough. I've enslaved eighteen Lord Level Monsters, including six Intermediate Lords."

Under the protection of the Lord Level Monsters, Qin Ming retreated to the outskirts.

"Flesh Puppets and Monster souls are ultimately external forces. Only becoming powerful myself is the foundation."

Sitting cross-legged amid the ruins of a relatively intact apartment building, Qin Ming closed his eyes. The crimson currents formed from Blood Essence circulated through his body, while his Soul Aura trembled within his Sea of Consciousness.

With the Lord Level Monsters he now controlled, along with the Soul Attack of the Myriad Souls Banner, he had more than enough strength to hunt High-Level Lords.

But Qin Ming did not do so.

Hunting low-level Lords was one thing, but once he began attacking High-Level Lord Monsters on a large scale, he might draw the pursuit of King Level Monsters. He was not prepared for that yet.

"When refining Flesh Puppets, I could see the Monsters' muscle tissue and even their cellular structures with perfect clarity. My control over them reached an astonishing degree.

"If I could do that with Flesh Puppets, then naturally I could do the same with my own body.

"So-called force techniques and Body Technique are all forms of control over the body.

"If I could precisely control every single cell, then improving my force techniques and Body Technique would be effortless.

"After refining and experimenting these past few days, I've finally managed to do this with my own body."
