"Zhuge, put aside your current work and focus all your efforts on this handover ceremony!"
Zhou Zhengyong stated solemnly, "With Jiang Li's cultivation speed, I dare not say he'll surpass the Gym Master, but he will become the third strongest person in the world sooner or later!"
"Don't worry, Chairman!"
Zhuge Tao nodded heavily. Jiang Li becoming an Inspector, he, Zhuge Tao, also felt honored.
And this night was destined to be extraordinary.
Outer space.
Vast and mysterious, with meteors occasionally streaking across, as if bearing witness to the fall of a certain civilization.
Whoosh!
A streak of golden light pierced through the boundless starry sky, moving at nearly the speed of light, and directly headed towards the planet where Jiang Li was!
This golden light, like other meteorites from outer space, passed through the atmosphere and plunged straight into the vast ocean.
What was strange was that the nearly light-speed descent didn't cause any special changes on the sea surface.
This sea area still had waves rippling, vast and magnificent, and it didn't even attract the attention of the surrounding monsters.
Even more peculiar was that this streak of light crossed the sky and fell into the sea, yet the human satellites and monitoring equipment didn't react at all, as if this golden light had never appeared.
However!
Deep under the sea!
At a depth of three thousand meters, the golden light had dissipated, leaving only a black, oval-shaped giant egg with a diameter of about twelve meters.
Its eggshell had strange golden markings, flowing with a bizarre golden light.
At this moment.
People were asleep as usual, unaware that a nightmare had arrived.
Early the next day.
"Jiang Li!"
Outside the Jiangnan Pavilion, Yang Hui pushed open the courtyard door and shouted.
Because the trainees had gone for the trials, most of the teachers at the Elite Training Camp were on vacation. Yang Hui happened to be on duty, and at the moment, he seemed more like Jiang Li's caretaker.
"Teacher Yang, you came at the right time."
Jiang Li saw Yang Hui approaching and gestured for him to enter his loft. "I have ninety-nine SS-Grade Blood Shadow Battle Swords here. Can you help me handle them?"
Yang Hui: "(O▼O)?!"
What does Jiang Li think I am?
I'm a special envoy of the Limit Martial Arts Gym, for crying out loud!
And a teacher at the Elite Training Camp!
A proper Intermediate War God!
"I'll make sure you get a good runner's fee this time."
Jiang Li added.
"Alright."
Yang Hui looked at the alloy case of the Blood Shadow Battle Swords and nodded helplessly, "The Hanxia high-level officials have arrived. They're waiting in the meeting room, hoping to meet you!"
"High-level officials?"
Jiang Li was taken aback, then understood.
Although his appointment as Inspector hadn't been made public, his battle on the Australia Continent against Far couldn't be concealed.
As a Hanxia citizen, it was normal for the high-level officials of Hanxia to come and invite him.
"Okay."
Jiang Li nodded and followed Yang Hui to the meeting room of the Elite Training Camp.
After that.
Yang Hui dialed Inspector Liu's communicator, took a deep breath, and said, "Inspector Liu, I have a batch of SS-Grade weapons here, all Blood Shadow Battle Swords, a total of ninety-nine..."
"Get lost!"
In the meeting room.
As soon as Jiang Li entered the meeting room, he saw the two people inside. One was a middle-aged man whose temples were already streaked with white. He sat upright, and even though his cultivation was low, his eyes were extremely sharp.
The other was a middle-aged man in casual clothes who seemed ordinary, but gave off an unfathomable feeling. Obviously, he was also an existence beyond the God of War level.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang Li!"
The middle-aged man stood up and smiled. "Let me introduce myself. I am Zhu Wei, and this is Councillor Jia Yi."
"Old Zhu, you should call him Councillor Jiang now."
Jia Yi sighed with emotion. "When we received the news before, Councillor Jiang was still an Invincible God of War. I never expected him to surpass the God of War so soon. Truly, a hero emerges from the youth!"
"You flatter me," Jiang Li said modestly. "May I ask what brings you here?"
"Haha, I didn't expect Councillor Jiang to be so direct..."
Zhu Wei laughed first, then his expression turned serious. He said solemnly, "Originally, we hoped to invite Councillor Jiang to join Hanxia. But it seems Councillor Jiang has already been appointed as an Inspector for Limit Martial Arts Gym."
"Therefore, on behalf of Hanxia, I hope Councillor Jiang will lend a hand when our motherland is in danger!"
After saying this, Zhu Wei was about to bow to Jiang Li, but was surprised to find he couldn't bend his waist.
"I can't accept this!"
Jiang Li raised his hand slightly, without any hesitation, and said, "Contact me if you need anything."
If it weren't for these fearless soldiers and martial artists protecting the peace of Hanxia, he might not have grown to where he was today.
"Councilor Jiang!"
Zhu Wei and Jia Yi looked excited, and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you!"
An existence beyond the War God level, his weight was enough to equal a military district, and moreover, Jiang Li was a Spiritual Reader!
At their level, a promise was more effective than any contract.
Europa Region, Paris Base City.
"Li Wei, I must avenge you!"
"I must!"
"Spirit, Will!"
"My spirit is vengeance!"
"Vengeance is my will!"
Li Yao, having gained insights on breaking through from Yan Hai, was in an almost frenzied state every day. He couldn't find peace day or night. Whenever he closed his eyes, he seemed to see Li Wei's headless corpse swaying before him.
Endless hatred accumulated, causing the shackles on Li Yao's life to loosen bit by bit.
Hatred solidified the darkness, and revenge became the last ray of light in his heart.
Sizzle!
This light will finally tear through the darkness!
"Jiang Li, I want you dead!!!"
"I must have you dead!!!"
"Hahahaha!!!"
A violent vortex of energy exploded from the basement, and the entire ancient building collapsed instantly, as if struck by a magnitude-10 earthquake.
"Yao! Did you succeed?!"
A voice filled with surprise came from the ruins.
"Vinina, check…"
Li Yao's face was contorted, his nostrils flaring as he gasped for breath. He stood on the ruins, his body swirling with energy, faintly glowing: "Immediately find out where Jiang Li is!"
"Yao!!!"
Seeing Li Yao's manic state, Vinina couldn't help but advise, "Even if you can kill him, what then? Hong won't let you off!"
"If he doesn't die, I'd rather be dead myself!"
At this moment, Li Yao and Vinina didn't know that, in front of Jiang Li, they, the ones who were proud to be beyond God of War, were still utterly vulnerable.
The next afternoon.
Hongning Base City, a dark blue fighter jet departed from the Limit Martial Arts Gym headquarters, heading towards the Australia Continent.
"The work isn't complicated…"
On the fighter jet, Jiang Li was reviewing the duties of his posting on the Australia Continent. He had five War God level experts under his command who were permanently stationed there on rotation.
He, however, didn't need to stay there constantly. He only needed to solve any problems that the five War Gods couldn't handle.
"I wonder what those two will look like when they see me?"
Jiang Li looked at the list, a strange smile playing on his lips.
Australia Continent, Mist Island Base.
Since Hong had taken away the Cloud Vine, the surrounding mist had dissipated, leaving only a barren island and an inland lake surrounding it.
"Damn it."
Li Kan supported his arm, clearly having suffered a minor injury: "This HR Alliance is going too far!"
With the excavation of Mist Island, several factions had been attacked by Domain Lord monsters in the water. Li Kan was injured while fighting fiercely against a Lord monster.
But the problem was, they had dealt with the monsters.
Yet, the Spirit of the Wood had been dug up by the people of the HR Alliance.
