CHAPTER 398: CHAPTER 229: SCORCHED EARTH PLAN, PUBLICLY SEEKING DEFEAT! (PART 2)

An extensive, comprehensive expansion movement consumes resources at a terrifying speed.

This action belongs to seeking blessings for future generations and is not conducive to one’s own merit assessment.

"The Council Court of the Imperial Capital has already proposed the revitalization plan for the Four Alliances Region. If Heng Province does not actively advance and seize the opportunity, how can it stand firm in New Dongxia and undertake the mission of the first line of defense in the future?"

The Tai Monarch’s tone was calm as he began to get to the main point:

"For this coordination of defense, the Sequence Army of the Seventh Battle Group will guard the western and eastern boundary lines, sweeping away the subsidiary creatures that could form a ’Black Tide.’"

Mo Zhenting readily agreed. The troop he commanded was precisely the Sequence Army of the Seventh Battle Group, named "Wind Sickle."

They are best at clearing battlefields using large-scale firepower coverage.

They are known as the Sequence Army with "minimal casualties and the worst rescue capabilities."

Because they prefer to burn hostages and bandits to ashes together.

"Moreover, the codename for this comprehensive expansion movement has already been determined."

The Tai Monarch lifted his head, directly facing Mo Zhenting:

"It’s personally designated by Lord Governor and called the ’Plow Court Plan.’

...

...

"I’m home."

Qin Shi stepped into the Tai’an Metropolitan Area, several days later.

This time he entered the station at night, avoiding many lively scenes that he found awkward.

"Senior Sister, you go to the Daoist School first. I want to go home for a while."

Qin Shi carried large and small bags and stuffed them into the trunk of the private car.

"Okay. Within Tai’an, no one can harm you."

Yu Weiwei smiled serenely:

"Even if the Master is not here, given your status, the Inspection Department would at least dispatch three Specialized Level Fifth Rank Senior Inspectors or frontline operatives for protection."

Qin Shi chuckled, having to admit that being a Scorching Sun level genius indeed felt quite exhilarating.

He used to read online literature where some third-rate authors would artistically embellish the experiences of the first ten outstanding talents of the era, often writing about being pursued by Esotericists from the Chaos Faction.

In reality, once someone reached the level of a Martial Arts Scorching Sun, they almost always had strong combat forces acting as security.

Unless they liked adventure or preferred solitude, it was hard to face life-threatening situations.

For example, now.

Qin Shi extended his spiritual power, his improved Spiritual Realm along with his Life Magnetic Field effortlessly capturing a few human figures.

All experts who had entered the Specialized Domain!

They wore plain clothes, some appearing as travelers, others as staff members.

"Deliver the things to the Talent Apartments."

Qin Shi said to the driver.

He habitually used his Life Magnetic Field to "scan."

He discovered that this middle-aged Mediterranean driver uncle was also a hidden expert at about Specialized Level Sixth Rank.

"Truly a full-range protection from head to toe."

Qin Shi leaned back in the rear seat; returning from the Central City to the Tai’an Metropolitan Area, he felt no discomfort.

Even though the countless sub-consciousnesses of the Tai Monarch could allow people to enjoy various convenient life services.

But he preferred his current life state, with the car windows down, letting cool breezes in, the roadside trees quickly retreating, the flowing traffic creating strips of light, and the high-rise buildings and billboards interweaving with lights.

The private car delivered Qin Shi to the Talent Apartments, and by standards, he should move to a single villa area with a better and more tranquil environment.

But from the Sword Grinding Action of the Inspection Department, to winning the first prize in the Heng Province Top 100 Contest, everything happened too quickly, so much so that the processes were not completed before Qin Shi already made a public appearance in Central City, becoming a Scorching Sun level genius.

"This is for the elder sister, this is for the youngest, and then Xiao Zhou, Brother Yuan, Brother Yu, all of them..."

Qin Shi sorted out the gifts in the large and small bags, with various items included.

From basic firepower unit configuration mechanical war dogs to nutrition liquid sets.

The total expenditure reached tens of thousands, but Holvren, a secretary from the Inspection Department, reminded him that these could be put on the public account.

After days of travel, Qin Shi did not feel tired, he freshened up, changed into loose clothes, went to the living room, took out several sealed cans of Energy Liquid from the fridge, using them as functional drinks, feeling his cells eagerly absorb, replenishing some of the consumed stamina.

Once his mind and body were adjusted to the optimal state, Qin Shi sat cross-legged on the mat, beginning to multitask, operating the Meditation Technique and Cultivation Furnace.

With repeated movements, his understanding of the Specialized Domain became even more profound, the intense radiance in his body surged like a sea, rising and flowing in rhythm with his breathing.

Meanwhile, the major limits within him also resonated, like a soft brass tube vibrating, refining both body and mind.

"Old Zhou stepped into the Specialized Level days ago, his Domain remains incomplete, staying around the First Rank. If I take that step, aided by continuous accumulation and understanding, I might directly ’jump ranks.’

Qin Shi vaguely captured that hint, realizing his body contained too many things, forming powerful numbers but also causing a serious problem not to be ignored.

That is the lack of integration!

"The difficulty of crossing two paths is indeed great. It’s not just about passing through but achieving penetration, accommodation, and control."

Qin Shi’s spirit entered the Inner Realm, finding the super little He who had returned from mining, questioning him.

In his situation, how should he solve this?

"Refine! Refine till death!"

The super little He replied grumpily:

"Your path has been too smooth, lacking strong opponents as grindstones. In battle with others, you often rely on numerical crushing, unable to force out your potential.

My advice is, either you find a powerful rival you cannot defeat and suffer more beatings, or, compete with the previous generation of masters to experience the feeling of being crushed."

Qin Shi’s eyes showed a hint of skepticism, he felt that the super little He had been a bit emotional lately, giving such advice purely to see him beaten up.

"He Lanchan did the same back then. Otherwise, why do you think he always liked being foul-mouthed in battle, provoking opponents?"

The super little He presented a serious face.

Mouthing off to receive a heavier beating?

Qin Shi half-believed and half-doubted, bowing down to ponder for a moment, finding some truth in super little He’s words.

Thanks to old Liang and old Zhang, he indeed never faced major setbacks.

Fighting peers posed no pressure, and chances to battle with the previous generation were few.

"Knowing this, I should have matched evenly with Yu Li, inspiring his fighting spirit."

Qin Shi felt a deep sense of regret, as Yu Li was considered a new generation Scorching Sun prodigy, whose talent surpassed his peers.

The others, like old Zhou, Zhang Hai, fell short.

"Otherwise, I should have gone head-to-head with Yu Li, igniting his fighting spirit."

Other peers, like old Zhou, Zhang Hai, were not quite there yet.

If finding a worthy Martial Arts Path sparring partner within the Nanhuang Daoist School teachers or brothers and sisters with heavy hands still lacks the right fit...

"Maybe I should use [Shalemed], and post a request also in the Dark Web application."

He clicked open [Kill It].

And posted an order.

[Urging to find an outstanding Specialized Level ’new blood’ at their prime and post details openly].

He is using a cracked version, allowing him to fabricate his identity at will.

This time, placing an order as a client with the back end, his identity was protected.

"Interesting. So, to break into the Specialized Level, you’ve started seeking abuse proactively."

Ying Huang in Central City opened the phone terminal, looking at the "Kill Me" app’s posting amusingly:

"Old Li, do you have any outstanding ’new blood’ in the prime of their Specialty Level?"

Old Li frowned, pondered for a bit, and replied:

"Many traveling traders dealing in illegal security business due to the blockade have stayed, and many rouge illegal smugglers are more, some of them being stranded."

After sending off the Tai Monarch, Mo Zhenting sat alone in the high building, immersing himself in cultivation. This senior inspector from the Seventh Battle Group, the one known as "Wind Sickle," radiated intense life energy while his spirit soared like a scorching sun patrolling the sky. The two intertwining released a terrifying and awe-inspiring energy.

"Did something happen at the back end of the Inspection Department?"

Mo Zhenting swept a glance with his eyes, not showing much emotion but saying only:

"Is there any ’new blood’ in Tai’an Metropolitan Area, among the young talents, who have achieved extraordinary performance among the Specialized Level?"

Hela seemed forever ready to serve, immediately appearing.

If both are active consciousnesses.

Affiliated with the Seventh Battle Group HQ, Hela was an active consciousness entity with formidable power, exuding an aura as overwhelming as a blazing sun.

"I shall continue to observe. Anyone who wants to move on the ’young sun’ of the period must be prepared for him to rise even higher and become truly outstanding. He is our hope, the future!"

With that said, Mo Zhenting stood up, gazed at the brilliance outside the window, and his eyes flickered with determination, "The chaos tide will not devour us. No one can afford that!"

He turned, shouting:

"Get ready now, we have no time to lose!"

Then with a flick of his sleeve, he added softly,

"My troops will show them what real firepower is this time."
