  Meng Chao said, “Please, go ahead, Master Lei. As long as it’s within my abilities, I will definitely do it with all my strength.”


  “I have quite a number of cultivators studying the way of spirit energy martial arts here, and they are the pillars of different industries. All of them are good, talented people, and I usually like to personally teach them. Not only is it to help them increase their fighting strength, but it is also an enjoyment for me.”


  Lei Zongchao sighed softly and looked at his slightly deformed left pinky. “Unfortunately, as the probability of my death keeps rising, I no longer have the strength to guide them one by one. Otherwise, I’ll die at any moment.

  “I’m not afraid of death. After living such a long and hard life, death is a form of release.

  “But the monster civilization isn’t destroyed yet, and the situation of the world beyond Monster Mountain Range isn’t really bright either. I still want to live a bit longer to protect Dragon City.

  “So, Meng Chao, can you be my temporary assistant? For the next few months, help me teach Divine Nine Dragon Seals and more secrets of martial arts to the people outside, will you?”


  “That’s……”


  Meng Chao was stunned.

  Naturally, it was not because Lei Zongchao had placed conditions that were too harsh.

  Instead, the trade was too good for Meng Chao.

  No, it was not a trade at all, it was a huge benefit.

  Even elementary school students knew that the best way to learn a subject was to try teaching it to other students after learning it fully.

  During the process of teaching, his brain cells would be trained repeatedly, and he would understand the material further, thus allowing him to use the knowledge he had learned flexibly.

  Also, if he became Lei Zongchao’s assistant, Meng Chao could stay beside this martial arts legend and learn all of his martial arts.

  Even though Lei Zongchao taught everyone equally, he had long since uploaded all his martial arts secrets and cultivation videos online.

  He had also given the copyright to various martial arts courses and life science courses in universities so that they could set up classes related to his martial arts.

  However, learning from online streams just could not compare to learning from the Battle God himself.

  Besides, Meng Chao was not like anyone else. Lei Zongchao’s suggestion provided an extra benefit to him.

  It must be mentioned that once he taught other Dragon Citizens the secrets of martial arts, he could get contribution points.

  The harder the secrets of the martial arts he taught, the more contribution points he could get.

  For example, when he taught his high school classmates the future Reckless Bull Force, he could get around one to two contribution points from a single student in a single class.

  If the Battle God personally taught him the original Divine Nine Dragon Seals and he taught it to the others, how many contribution points could he obtain?

  The more Meng Chao taught about it, the more excited he became.

  He felt as if he could hear an astronomical number of contribution points turning into crystal coins, and they were making clunking noises in his head.

  Meng Chao clenched his fists and felt a burning heat spread from his stomach to his neck. That made him feel as if each word he said was a burning steel needle.

  “Master Lei, if you think that I really have the right to inherit your martial arts secrets, then I definitely won’t reject or back down from this task!

  “I will do my best so that more people can practice your martial arts, and one day, the Battle God’s name will spread throughout the entire Other World!”


  “The entire…… Other World?” Lei Zongchao just grinned and said nothing about that. Then, he changed the topic. “By the way, I can’t do anything about your investments. A few days ago, I just did something that countless people dream of doing since ancient times, and that’s spending all of my fortune before my death!

  “Haha! Right now, my pockets are truly empty, and I can’t bring out a single penny. Even the medical fees for the gene concentrate I soak in every day are sponsored by the children outside. That’s why you’ve really come to the wrong person.

  “Anyway, after I built the Survival Committee, I took in quite a number of orphans, and I also discovered plenty of talented people from the slums and grassroot units in the Red Dragon Army. Back then, I had money, but I didn’t like eating, drinking, and being merry. I could only spend my money on these children. They worked hard, and they didn’t disappoint either. After years of diligence, they gained some success in their respective fields.

  “I believe that you can go to them and talk about your projects. I don’t understand what kind of major business opportunity is contained in those foxtails you call tobacco. But, you might find a common language with youngsters like yourself.”


  Meng Chao was delighted more than he was disappointed.

  The meaning behind Lei Zongchao’s words was even better than directly investing in his projects.

  It meant that Lei Zongchao had led him into a brand new circle—Battle God Palace’s circle.

  The scale of this circle might not be as big as Broken Star Club and Blue Home, but the number and quality of powerful fighters in this circle were definitely higher than the ones in Broken Star Club and Blue Home.

  The Battle God Palace members whom Meng Chao knew had important positions in the Survival Committee, had a net worth of billions, or held positions as high-ranking officers in the Red Dragon Army.

  They were not Lei Zongchao’s disciples, but they had received his kindness by being taught by him. Their fates had even been changed by him.

  He was endorsed by Lei Zongchao, so it was only par for the course that they would acknowledge him.

  His connections instantly grew by ten times.

  Not only would it be able to help him get a large number of investments and business deals for his projects, but it would also provide great benefits for him when it came to guiding Dragon City forward into the future.

  “I understand, Master Lei, thank you.” Meng Chao took a deep breath and said with a grave but firm voice, “Trust me. Before long, these projects will produce results. Then, Dragon City will definitely march forward boldly and change the entire Other World!”


  “In that case, I look forward to it.” Lei Zongchao smiled and waved his hand with some difficulty.

  “Go on. An Ran is waiting for you outside. Let her bring you around to greet everyone. Come here at the same time tomorrow. I’ll tell you more about the principles in Divine Nine Dragon Seals and my personal experience when I practiced this skill.”


  His eyelids slowly fell.

  The water inlets around the cultivation cabin released sticky, ink-like gene concentrate again, and it gradually enveloped the old man who had sagging skin and could only speak weakly.

  Lei Zongchao looked like he was soaking in hot water. He let out a comfortable moan and nodded as he fell asleep.

  However, he mumbled in his sleep. “I really…… want to see you youngsters grow up…… and see how exciting the new Dragon City will be……”


  ‘You’ll definitely have the chance!’ Meng Chao swore in his heart.

  The path ahead was already clear.

  He would do everything he could to learn the secrets from the Battle God and also train hard with the people in Battle God Palace.

  Then, he would enter deep into the ancient ruins and see whether he could find clues about his return as well as the curse. Perhaps he could also understand this thing that belonged solely to him, the Fire Relayer.

  Following that would definitely be to kill the mastermind of the monster civilization.

  In his previous life, Battle God Lei Zongchao had died during the final battle in the Monster War.

  This time, since Meng Chao had returned from the apocalypse, there was no longer any need for the Battle God to do anything.

  So, Lei Zongchao definitely had a chance to live longer and see Dragon City’s civilization stand above all the races in the Other World.

  Therefore, every living being and monster would be stomped under their feet!……

  Even after he had passed through the long tunnel and returned to the meditation hall in Battle God Palace, Meng Chao remained excited, and his blood still raced.

  When An Ran saw him, she was stunned for a moment, and she pointed out that he had completely changed from the way he was a little more than two hours ago. He was now entirely different.

  An Ran also mentioned that over the past five years, Lei Zongchao had seldom spoken to someone alone for more than two hours, just like he had done today. By the looks of it, he really held Meng Chao with high regard.

  “I didn’t lie to you, Senior Brother Meng. Mr. Lei is a really easy-going man. Welcome to Battle God Palace!” An Ran said with a smile.

  She told Meng Chao that the people in Battle God Palace were not distinguished by their cultivation realms, statuses, wealth, and fighting strength. Everyone treated each other as brothers and sisters, hence it was a really united and warm family. Everyone was already eagerly awaiting Meng Chao’s arrival.

  Meng Chao was stunned. Was he considered a member of Battle God Palace so soon?

  An Ran could see his puzzlement, and she shrugged. Lei Zongchao himself did not like forming factions, and he had no intention of creating his own force of power. Battle God Palace was not an official organization, and everyone just called it by that name for fun.

  That aside, since they had been picked by the Battle God and they inherited some of his strength, as well as spirit, they were definitely people who shared the same ideals. They wanted to protect and fight for Dragon City for the rest of their lives. As such, having a name for their group would make it easier for them to fight side by side, right?

  “Mr. Lei doesn’t like classifying people into different social classes based on their cultivation realms, strength, and wealth. To him, we only have one status, and that is Earthling. Everyone is born equal. If you think the same way, I believe that you will definitely love Battle God Palace,” An Ran stated with a smile.

  Meng Chao scratched his head and nodded before he said, “Master Lei is indeed different from the mighty Battle God I imagined. I’m still feeling a little overwhelmed. I can’t believe that he’d give me such a present.”


  An Ran snickered and whispered, “That’s because you’re the youngest blood medal bearer in Dragon City, and you got outstanding achievements for the whole city!

  “Mr. Lei doesn’t merely have one face. He’s very good to people like you who risk their lives for Dragon City and would give up everything for it without asking for anything back. He will satisfy all of your requests and even push his martial arts and resources to you while he cries for you to take them.

  “But for people who care about their cultivation realms and business interests more than Dragon City, he will put on a stern face and do things formally. He will ask for a fair exchange with them!

  “As for those who severely harm Dragon City’s interests for their selfish desires and commit heinous crimes? Heh. He can’t do anything now because he’s old, but if it were around twenty years ago, these people would rather jump into the mouths of those Apocalyptic Beasts instead of ending up in Mr. Lei’s hands!”


  Those words caused Meng Chao’s face to turn red.

  ‘So, the image I’ve set for myself is someone who will risk my life and everything that I have for Dragon City while asking for nothing in return?’


  Obviously, he knew that he was not such a person.

  He only risked his life to contribute to the city because he wanted to get rid of the apocalypse that loomed over their heads. Also, the contribution point system was helping him……

  However, since his image had already been fixed, he could only grit his teeth and carry on with it. He might not fit it completely, but at the very least, he could not allow his image to crumble too much!

  Chapter 695 - The Human-Shaped Self-Propelled Cannon With Unlimited Ammunition!

  In Battle God Palace’s meditation hall, more than twenty people had finished their training, and they were watching Meng Chao curiously.

  Meng Chao finally saw their faces clearly and recognized a few that often appeared on TV.

  They were all heroes who had performed meritorious deeds and saved Dragon City.

  There were also a couple of faces that matched his memories of martyrs who had been sacrificed in the Monster War from his previous life.

  It all made Meng Chao naturally have a good impression of the “Battle God Palace” group.

  The people in Battle God Palace also knew that Lei Zongchao viewed Meng Chao in a different light.

  However, they were all from humble backgrounds and had similar upbringings as well as experiences. Those who could be chosen by Lei Zongchao were not narrow-minded and jealous of others people’s abilities. Moreover, Meng Chao’s blood medal was also genuine. It had been obtained through hard work and diligence.

  Therefore, no one was unconvinced and insistent on challenging Meng Chao.

  However, it was inevitable for them to urge him to show his skills.

  After all, everyone wanted to know the kind of amazing strength that was possessed by this junior brother, who was known as the fastest in Dragon City!

  Meng Chao knew that although he had received Lei Zongchao’s approval, he still needed to rely on himself to win the trust of the people Battle God Palace.

  He could not let Lei Zongchao down, and he also could not let others think that the legendary Battle God was not practical!

  “Senior Brothers and Sisters, I have been following Master Lei for at least three to five years. I have just received Master Lei’s teachings, hence I won’t be so bold to say that I have a deep understanding of the Battle God’s profound meaning. However, I am very happy to have the opportunity to learn Divine Nine Dragon Seals with you, and one day, I will be able to carry forward the Battle God’s legacy!”


  Meng Chao’s eyes were bright and full of confidence. He turned his head and asked An Ran, “Are there any cultivation equipment here?”


  Since it was known as Battle God Palace, it naturally had all the necessary cultivation equipment.

  An Ran clapped her hands lightly. Then, at the center of the meditation hall, the floor that was inlaid with Black Stars sank slightly. It rotated in all directions and shrank inward, revealing a wide staircase.

  Below was a super-large training room the size of half a football field.

  Super-high-speed treadmills, super heavy-duty fist strength testing machines, various models of training cabins, 10 times gravity generators, deep-sea simulators, and various training machines that used electric currents to stimulate muscles. They could be heated to a high temperature of 500°C or quickly frozen to – 80°C. There was also a ring that simulated various combat environments—some Meng Chao could think of, but some he could not think of. There was a dazzling array of training machines, and everything was available.

  Even though the training room had a 24-hour ventilation system, the training equipment was still filled with the smell of hard work and struggle.

  The smell made Meng Chao’s blood boil.

  After pondering for a moment, he walked to the Super Heavy-Duty Fist Strength Tester.

  Divine Nine Dragon Seals was not a combat skill, but a technique to increase the efficiency of spirit energy bursts.

  To test the instantaneous burst of spirit energy, the fist strength tester was undoubtedly the most suitable.

  The fist strength tester in Battle God Palace was different from the fist strength tester used by Meng Chao in high school.

  The latter was a purely mechanical structure, and the maximum test limit was a mere two to three thousand kilograms. It could only be used by ordinary people and low-level superhumans. No matter how light the fist strength was, it would destroy the device’s internal structure and cause it to malfunction.

  However, the Super Heavy-Duty Fist Strength Tester was like a smaller steam locomotive with a large number of crystal-clear spirit energy tubes attached to it. As a result, it could withstand a full-strength blow from a peak Heaven Realm expert.

  An Ran told Meng Chao that the record holder for the Super Heavy-Duty Fist Strength Tester was Colonel Long Feijun of the Red Dragon Army.

  It was the fierce man, who had just killed several Level Six Hell Beasts in the battle outside Dragon City. He was now standing next to Meng Chao with a smile.

  However, the fierce man looked gentle and benign. He did not look like a tough warrior who had survived hundreds of battles. Instead, he looked like a scholar who played with words.

  During their small talk earlier, Meng Chao had learned that he was an orphan who had been raised by Lei Zongchao for more than ten years. After he joined the Red Dragon Army, he was selected to be in the most dangerous reconnaissance unit. His daily mission was to go deep into the wilderness where the fog was the thickest. There, he would search for traces of the Apocalyptic Beasts to ensure that the beasts did not launch a sudden attack on Dragon City.

  His ultimate fist strength had actually reached a shocking five hundred kilograms!

  No, no, no, the five hundred kilograms here was completely different from the five-hundred-kilogram fist strength Meng Chao had when he was in high school.

  His five-hundred-kilogram fist strength in high school was equivalent to the destructive force of a five-hundred-kilogram heavy object hitting a punching target at high speed.

  The five hundred kilograms in the circle of superhumans was all the energy produced by the explosion of five hundred kilograms of standard crystal explosives.

  It must be known that the energy contained in standard crystal explosives was much higher than TNT—yellow explosives from the Earth era.

  Five hundred kilograms of standard crystal explosives that were placed in the right position could definitely blow up a skyscraper.

  After Meng Chao cultivated in the wilderness and before he comprehended Divine Nine Dragon Seals, his ultimate fist strength was roughly equivalent to the explosive power of seventy kilograms of standard crystal explosives.

  From that, it could be seen how terrifying the fierce military man, Long Feijun’s strength was.

  As for the current Meng Chao……

  While he stared at the fist target that was fused with super alloy and high-level crystals, as well as wrapped in the fur of a monster, the densely packed fist prints on the fist target made him feel something. It was as if he was seeing the people of Battle God Temple doing their best there, unleashing their passion and fervor.

  His fighting spirit was also at its limit.

  Everyone around him could smell the aura of a ferocious beast from Hell seeping out of his pores.

  They even noticed visible wisps of spirit energy lingering around him and forming a storm.

  Meng Chao took a deep breath and began to test the power of his fist.

  Everyone had their own speculations as to how strong his destructive power would be.

  Five hundred kilograms was naturally impossible.

  Long Feijun was the secret weapon that Battle God Lei Zongchao and the Red Dragon Army had jointly trained for many years. He was at the peak of Heaven Realm and was famous for his heavy punches. He even had a nickname, Railway Gun.

  Meng Chao had only broken through to Heaven Realm half a year ago. It would be bullying him too much to compare him to Long Feijun.

  Everyone agreed that if Meng Chao’s ultimate fist strength could pass the two-hundred-kilogram mark, it would already be quite powerful. At least, in the four-star Heaven Realm, he should be the best.

  Boom!

  Before dozens of expectant gazes, Meng Chao punched out.

  Prior to touching the fist target, the tip of his fist compressed the air with a deafening thunderous sound.

  However, the sound of compressed air was soon followed by other sounds. They were the sounds of Meng Chao’s bones exploding, blood rolling in his blood vessels, and highly compressed spirit energy. A sharp whistling sound then shot out from 36,000 of his pores.

  “Yes!”


  The crowd’s eyes lit up and they could not help but cheer.

  All of them knew what was good for them and had followed Lei Zongchao in cultivating Divine Nine Dragon Seals for a long time. Naturally, they could see that the moment Meng Chao exerted his strength, he had activated the power of the dragon meridians and used the spirit magnetic field to apply a second pressure on the muscles all over his body. He had released a force that solely relied on muscles and bones, generating the force of an impossible blast.

  What a beautiful Divine Nine Dragon Seals!

  His fist hit the target like a cannonball, unleashing the full effect of a heavy tank’s firepower. The huge Super Heavy-Duty Fist Strength Tester trembled violently, and a string of flashing numbers popped up on the display screen: 213 kg!

  As expected, the extreme strength of Meng Chao’s fist had already far surpassed that of an ordinary four-star Spirit Wielding superhuman.

  Only Long Feijun, the fierce military man known as Railway Gun, remained silent.

  He narrowed his eyes. The image of Meng Chao swinging his fist remained on his retina. His face was full of suspicion as if he did not understand what Meng Chao was doing.

  Meng Chao’s performance was not over yet.

  As the eldest senior brother of the Ultimate Style, the trait that he was most proud of was his ability to last long enough.

  Crack, crack, crack, crack!

  His leg bones, ankle joints, spinal joints, spinal ligaments, shoulder blades, shoulder joints, arm bones, elbow joints, and wrist joints…… His bones and joints all created a series of explosive sounds. Meanwhile, his body expanded another once more on the basis of one round of expansion. His high bulging muscles were still twitching, and it was as if three giant dragons were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws in the deep crevices between his muscles.

  Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

  Meng Chao unleashed more than a hundred punches in one breath.

  The destructive power of each punch was at least equivalent to the power released by two hundred kilograms of standard crystal explosives in an instant.

  Everyone was dumbfounded.

  The so-called “Ultimate Fist” naturally could not be maintained for a long time.

  It was the same as how the average speed of a ten-thousand-meter long run could not reach the standard of a hundred-meter sprint.

  Moreover, two hundred kilograms of standard crystal explosives were already terrifying. Many large-caliber cannons with fixed turrets could not even load so many explosives with the shells they used!

  This man was simply a human-shaped self-propelled cannon with unlimited ammunition and long-range endurance!

  When Meng Chao delivered his last punch, his fist was already as hot as a newly forged war hammer.

  Sweat dripped onto his fist, releasing a “chi chi” sound and emitting white smoke.

  The deep dent at the center of the target was like an armor-piercing bullet. It could only be produced when hundreds of punches hit the same spot accurately.

  Everyone gasped in amazement.

  Only “Railway Gun” Long Feijun was still frowning and deep in thought.

  Everyone thought that he, who had an ultimate fist strength of more than five hundred kilograms, did not care about Meng Chao’s two hundred kilograms.

  Unexpectedly, Long Feijun’s eyes suddenly lit up. He stared straight at Meng Chao and suddenly said, “Your ultimate fist strength is definitely more than two hundred kilograms. It should be close to three hundred kilograms!”


  When he said that, everyone went into an uproar.

  The power of the explosion was equivalent to three hundred kilograms of standard crystal explosives. Many five-star Spirit Gaze Realm superhumans might not be able to release that much power.

  Since Meng Chao had such astonishing strength, why did he not use his full strength just now?

  “That’s right. Senior Brother Long has a good eye!”


  Meng Chao turned around and smiled. “I just feel that it is meaningless to put all of our strength on the enemy’s surface. After all, many of the enemies we are facing have thick fur, shells, exoskeletons, and extraordinary equipment.

  “The most important thing is how to defeat the enemy from a distance and penetrate the enemy’s armor and exoskeleton. We have to focus mostly on how to destroy the softest organs and brain directly—”


  Before he finished his sentence, a weird sound erupted from the Super Heavy-Duty Fist Strength Tester behind Meng Chao.
