Returning to Base, Entering Seclusion for Cultivation

Returning to Base, Entering Seclusion for Cultivation

"No problem! We made preparations long ago.

Hahaha, you've been cultivating these past few days, so you don't know that every faction across the entire Earth has been thrown into an uproar!

They're all investigating your background. Some have even come looking for me."

Liu Xu's eyes lit up as he laughed loudly.

In less than a month, Qin Ming had brought him far too many shocks.

Before setting out into the wilderness, he had only been an Elementary General Martial Warrior and a High-Level General Spiritual Force User.

When he learned that Qin Ming had broken through and personally saw him enslave a Giant Rock Black Bear, he had been utterly stunned. But after seeing so much more, he had gone numb.

Eighteen Lord Level Monsters!

Six of them were Intermediate Lord Level.

He himself was only an Intermediate War God!

There was the Tiger Cat, skilled in assassination and sneak attacks; the Purple Lightning Python, capable of long-range attacks and control; the Thunderclap Eagle, adept at high-speed flight; the Bloodthirsty Tank, with its incredibly powerful defense; and more.

When they worked together, even a High-Level War God would have to flee in a sorry state.

The physical strength of an Intermediate War God and a High-Level War God differed by only twice as much, while Monsters far surpassed humans of the same rank in physical strength!

Take the Bloodthirsty Tank, for example. It stood six or seven meters tall and was over ten meters long, weighing several hundred tons.

If such a colossal creature charged, even a High-Level War God would not dare take it head-on, much less an Intermediate War God.

That was also why human Martial Warriors placed such importance on Body Technique.

Not to mention Qin Ming, whose spiritual force was absurdly powerful!

"Looking for me? Let them do as they please."

Qin Ming frowned slightly before relaxing again.

While controlling the Flesh Puppets to hunt, he had noticed quite a few War God experts watching from the shadows. He simply could not be bothered with them.

Even while he had been cultivating these past few days, War God experts had come forward to identify themselves and try to recruit him.

But how could Qin Ming, completely immersed in the cultivation state of Soul Inner Vision, have any interest in dealing with them?

The thrill of his strength rising at such terrifying speed was simply too intoxicating.

If he had not discovered that the force-exertion methods in Breaking Army Halberd contained far too many mistakes, he would not even have wanted to return to the base. He would have waited until he had cultivated the Secret Art to its peak.

"Mm, don't worry. We'll handle all of that. Just focus on your cultivation."

Liu Xu assured him.

After notifying the Military, Qin Ming swept his gaze around before leaping onto the head of an Intermediate Lord Level Frostwing White Tiger.

Behind him, the remaining Lord Level Monsters followed closely through the sky, rampaging through City 003 as they sped toward the base.

Lord Level Monsters were incredibly fast.

Even the relatively slow Black Rock Giant Bear could break the sound barrier. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the ruins outside the base.

From afar, Qin Ming saw Liu Xu, the War God, waiting by the base gates with a group of senior officers.

"They're here! They're here! Attention, do not open fire! Those Lord Level Monsters have been enslaved by War God experts from our Military!"

An officer shouted through the broadcast system atop the base walls.

The base radar had detected the fluctuations of the Lord Level Monsters long ago. If Qin Ming had not notified them in advance and had simply charged over, what awaited him now would have been a concentrated barrage from the Laser Cannon array.

"My God, is that an Intermediate Lord Level Crimson Scale Mystic Python? It must be seventy or eighty meters long!"

"Look at the sky! There are two flying Lord Level Monsters up there too—a Thunderclap Eagle and a Black Crowned Golden Eagle!"

"Haha, more than a dozen Lord Level Monsters! The beast tide is about to erupt. With these Lord Level Monsters helping us, we'll be much safer."

"..."

Nearly every officer and soldier in the entire base was drawn by this grand spectacle.

More than a dozen Lord Level Monsters advancing in formation—though they were used to beast tide attacks, the sight still shook them to the core.

They were on their side!

The entire base did not even have eighteen War Gods.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Qin Ming jumped down from the Monster's back, quickly walked up to Liu Xu, and raised his hand in salute.

"Sorry for causing everyone trouble."

Qin Ming said with a smile.

"Hehe, this isn't trouble. The Sea Monsters gathering in the ocean have already reached Level Two. Your Lord Level Monsters have arrived at just the right time!

They can join the battle, right?"

Liu Xu grinned so broadly that his mouth was nearly crooked.

"Of course! Let them take on any dangerous work. If they die, I'll just catch more in the wilderness.

Mm, have the Technical Department install Communication Devices on them later.

Lord Level Monsters are quite intelligent. They just can't speak, so any instructions can be given directly through voice commands.

I've already trained them.

They're also carrying some Monster materials. Have someone sort them out. They should be worth a bit of money."

Qin Ming replied without hesitation, then pointed at the huge bundles piled like small mountains on several Lord Level Monster bodies.

He had casually collected these while hunting Monsters. At the very least, they were materials from High-Level Beast Generals.

"We can command them directly too? Xiao Zhang, hurry! Have the Technical Department take care of it!"

Liu Xu's eyes lit up. He did not even glance at the Monster materials as he hurriedly spoke to a bespectacled Young Officer behind him.

"No problem!"

The Young Officer immediately answered excitedly, then looked at Qin Ming with a trace of hesitation.

"Chief, aside from Communication Devices, should we install anything else on them?

Armor, for example. The base has materials ready to use.

If you allow it, I can fit that Giant Rock Black Bear with a set of armor to protect its vital areas. We can even add weapons to its Bear Paws...

The other Lord Level Monsters can be equipped as well!"

Qin Ming glanced at him in surprise and found that not only he, but the dozen or so officers behind him were also filled with excitement, as though they were eager to make something big happen.

"Sure. Anything that can increase their combat power is fine."

"We guarantee that we'll complete the mission!"

At once, all the Technical Officers became excited. Some even ran toward the rear on the spot, apparently to prepare tools and the like.

Watching this, Qin Ming smiled. He was even somewhat curious to see what tricks these technical personnel could come up with.

"I'll leave this to you. I'm going back to rest up first."

After directing all the Lord Level Monsters to line up and enter a plaza within the War Base, Qin Ming spoke to Liu Xu and several of the base's high-ranking officers.

"Go on!"

After returning to the small building in the base, Qin Ming happily washed up, then collapsed onto the bed.

He felt incomparably comfortable, his heart completely relaxing.

Although he had the Black God Suit and would not have any blood left on him even after fighting Monsters, not washing for nearly a month still left him feeling extremely uncomfortable.

The intense battles, Soul Inner Vision, and practice with bodily force exertion had long since exhausted Qin Ming.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already the next morning.

After sleeping for an entire day and night, his biological clock habitually roused Qin Ming from his slumber.

Since the Sea Monster tide could erupt at any moment, the captain and the others were naturally all in the base. After sharing a meal with everyone amid their numb, stunned gazes, Qin Ming threw himself completely into cultivation.

The Military had already delivered all the manuals he required.

This included more than a dozen ultimate Secret Arts, such as Ninefold Thunderblade, World Destruction, Phantom Blade Art, and Overlord Spear, all packaged and delivered to him.

Inside the Training Hall, Qin Ming first picked up Ninefold Thunderblade and opened to the first page.

"Fast!"

The most eye-catching word on the title page made Qin Ming feel as though a blade's light was rushing straight at him.

But Qin Ming was no longer the same as when he had first broken through to become a Martial Warrior. He felt nothing at all and simply flipped through it quickly.

Only by embracing all rivers could one create a Secret Art that truly belonged to oneself!
