Grian's Rapid Growth
Compared to the various troubles of postwar recovery, Zhang Xuezhou preferred to participate in the competition for the order of succession once again.
Conquering a country is not easy; maintaining it is even harder.
The restoration of order in the New Aomeijia Alliance has taken far too long, so long that Zhang Xuezhou feels as if he is enduring an agonizing period of time.
Zhang Xuezhou has always been a person who likes to get things done quickly, but other people and things won't speed up because of him.
He observed Grien daily, constantly monitoring his growth.
Like a water tank, the fortune on Grion's body continued to increase. Grion, who had not cultivated any fortune-gathering techniques, began to improve continuously the moment the fortune-gathering array was formed.
In just three days, Zhang Xuezhou felt that Grean had successfully condensed his body.
The New Aomeijia Alliance is recovering slowly, but the speed at which Grean is gathering strength is very fast, even increasing every day and every hour.
The fortune gathered around Grean also changed from a trickle to a babbling brook.
As the country continues to recover, the amount of fortune that Grean receives is also constantly increasing.
As a cultivation aid, the art of Qi Luck does not require years of arduous practice. Furthermore, the body can continuously grow and even undergo transformation simply by taking advantage of opportunities to gather Qi Luck.
Zhang Xuezhou found it hard to imagine how concentrated the luck would be on Grean once everything returned to normal, and what kind of things he would gain.
But this was destined to be a difficult time, as the normalcy of social order was not subject to Zhang Xuezhou's will.
He planned to spend three months gaining Aomeijia Alliance, but Zhang Xuezhou felt that the observation period would be longer.
He could choose to overthrow Grion right now and use him as a sacrifice, but raising Grion is like raising a ginseng root. A young ginseng root has one value, while an old ginseng root has another. If given the opportunity, Zhang Xuezhou really hopes to raise him for a while longer and see what surprises a mature Grion root will bring.
What Zhang Xuezhou needs is not just a little bit of luck, but real luck that allows him to achieve what he needs and gain something from it.
This requires the fortune accumulated within Grean to reach a stable stage where it no longer grows, until there is nothing left to grow, before Zhang Xuezhou will choose to reap the rewards.
Zhang Xuezhou, who had just finished his battle, was also finding it difficult to get back into his usual rhythmic state, so he had to wait.
"Committee Member Zhang, is there something on my face?"
Grean was not as happy as he had imagined about becoming the Speaker of the Grand Council.
He knew very well that a large group of rebels in the parliament were about to flee. If Zhang Xuezhou and others hadn't been still in Blanpeda, they would have already left in their private jets.
Of course, Grean himself wanted to leave, after all, his position as Grand Council Speaker was very unstable.
Putting aside those empty promises that are difficult to fulfill, he also has to face Badun's future comeback. What can Sequence Holder is at the bottom of the Sixth Sequence do to stop him?
Badun has long held great power and guides the Sequence Holder of the Aomeijia Alliance upwards like a teacher. He is not only the supreme ruler but also a teacher to many Sequence Holder ahead of him.
Without Badun needing to lift a finger, Grian found it difficult to muster the courage to confront him.
A living Badun and a dead Badun are two completely different things. The death of the other party can cause people to have different thoughts, while the living one means that no one dares to rebel.
These past few days, Grian has been pondering how to change his fickle nature in order to live a healthy and happy life.
He was filled with worry, and his slightly overweight body lost more than ten pounds in just a few days, and his hair gradually turned gray.
As Zhang Xuezhou scrutinized his entire body, he couldn't help but quickly touch his head, then his face, and finally his hands, where the veins were beginning to bulge.
After checking without finding anything, Grian was still worried that he might be prematurely aging in some way.
"Work hard, we'll provide after-sales service!"
Zhang Xuezhou patted Grian on the shoulder, a seemingly joking remark that made Grian feel much more at ease.
"When will His Excellency Badun return home?" Grean asked anxiously.
"It doesn't matter when he returns to China," Zhang Xuezhou said. "As long as communications in Blanpeda are restored, we will notify Professor Ren Yisheng, and he will lead a team to oversee operations in Blanpeda!"
"That's great!" Grian exclaimed happily.
Grean did not go to the Alliance Island, but his information was not obstructed; he was well aware that the world had also changed in the Scarlet Alliance State.
"You should treat them well," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Even if Badun recovers and returns, he will communicate with us calmly and won't take his anger out on you!"
"I will certainly do everything in my Aomeijia Alliance to treat Professor Ren with the utmost hospitality," Grian nodded repeatedly.
"If you work hard, you might even get some extra rewards!"
"There are extra rewards for working hard?"
Grean speculated about his fate, feeling that he would be lucky if he wasn't beaten to death.
The Grand Council Speaker wielded supreme power, but the position was far too tempting. Within just a few days, Grian realized he was utterly incapable of the role, finding it difficult even to serve as a puppet.
Zhang Xuezhou and others' assurances put him at ease.
Only after receiving Zhang Xuezhou's assurance did he touch his face and leave the house.
"This Grean is far too incompetent; we really should have chosen someone more useful!"
Once Grian had left and was out of sight, Ren Anran had been keeping quiet about Zhang Xuezhou's arrangements, finally couldn't help but speak up.
"Useful people don't last long," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"But this opportunist wants to kneel down after only three days," Ren Anran said with dissatisfaction.
"When the professor comes to Brampada, he'll stand up straighter!"
"You're more intimidating than your father!"
"I'm useless against Badun, but the professor can keep things calm!"
Zhang Xuezhou's arrangements always involved calculating all possible escape routes, even blocking out any future changes.
As long as Zhang Xuezhou doesn't back down, Badun will face a difficult situation after returning to Brampeda. Even if he has a backup plan, he will have no choice but to sit down and negotiate.
In the present city of Brampeda, Zhang Xuezhou wields immense power over many Sequence Holder the Aomeijia Alliance, forcing even figures like Clark to yield to him.
This includes the lingering effects of deterrence and suppression, as well as Zhang Xuezhou's undeniable achievements.
To be honest, if Ren Anran Ren Anran wouldn't have dared to charge in, but Zhang Xuezhou did, and even managed to get into position.
That's why everyone fears Zhang Xuezhou, but not so much Ren Anran from the Seventh Sequence.
Zhang Xuezhou made a further move by mentioning the Scarlet Alliance State's medical care for high- Sequence Holder and releasing information about the treatment of Badun's body. This left many rebel members with no other choice and prevented them from harboring any hostility towards Zhang Xuezhou.
Everything has been arranged, so even if Zhang Xuezhou falls into a coma again in the future, Ren Anran can take over and prevent any mistakes.
"How much longer are we going to raise this Grian?" Ren Anran asked. "Does he meet Xuanming's requirements?"
"The longer the better, until he reaches his limit. Grean should be able to meet the conditions mentioned by Xuanming!"
Zhang Xuezhou nodded.
The New Aomeijia Alliance of Grien is a relatively new nation, but it is already enormous.
The vast territory has countless mountains and rivers, and also supports a huge population.
This is something no small country can compare to. In such a short time, it has even enabled someone like Grien, who has no connection to cultivation techniques, to achieve success in cultivation techniques. Zhang Xuezhou finds it hard to imagine what it would be like for an emperor of such a vast country to cultivate cultivation techniques.
Through Grien, Zhang Xuezhou also distinguished the differences between the cultivation techniques of emperors and fortune thieves.
One is the orthodox path of steady progress, while the other is the Evil Dao of stealing a sip of water; the differences between the two are incomparable.
If Zhang Xuezhou hadn't enjoyed several opportunities for cultivation and experienced various battles, his situation might have been even worse than Han Yan's.
"If we can push it up one more wave, I should have more confidence!"
Luck in real life is very useful, but Zhang Xuezhou grew up in a different world.
With the help of the Feng Shui technique, Zhang Xuezhou gained a great deal at the Centennial Ceremony, and was only one step away from the Realm of the Sole Self Realm. He may also further enhance his spiritual power.
But before he can truly establish himself in the True Self Realm and challenge the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, he will need to leverage another force to make another upward breakthrough.
