Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

133. Chapter 133 Tune The Tiger Away From The Mountain!

Chapter 133: Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain!

Jinmen City.

Inside a dilapidated residential building in the eastern part of the city.

Just as Yu Tian and Zhou Yan, who had just returned from outside the city, were catching their breath, they saw a humanoid sun suddenly rising in the direction of the eastern district. In the dim night sky, it bloomed with a dazzling yet reassuring golden light!

"Someone else has broken through to the Golden Body Realm!" Zhou Yan looked up and sighed with envy.

"Yeah, this should be the sixth Golden Body Realm cultivator in Jinmen City!" Yu Tian also sighed in admiration.

However, they quickly realized that something was wrong. Their eyes widened in surprise, and Yu Tian asked Zhou Yan in a raised voice, "Zhou, look at the location of this Golden Body Realm cultivator. Is it near the Military Affairs Department?"

Zhou Yan also became spirited and exclaimed, "It seems like it! I never expected that someone from the Military Affairs Department would also break through to the Golden Body Realm!"

"In that case, the rebellion you predicted in the city should be unlikely to happen, right?"

"Now that the Military Affairs Department has its own Golden Body Realm expert and their strength has greatly increased, Li Shengji and the others probably won't dare to have any evil intentions anymore."

Although they lived at the bottom of society and had to go outside the city every day to hunt demonic beasts for survival resources, both Yu Tian and Zhou Yan didn't want Jinmen City, which had just stabilized, to be thrown into turmoil again. After all, the demonic beasts outside the city were already enough to make them fearful.

If there were infighting between the military and local forces within the city, they, as ordinary people, would truly have no way out!

"It's hard to say!" Yu Tian said softly, "Having only one Golden Body Realm cultivator is still a bit lacking."

"Li Shengji and the others have a total of five Golden Body Realm cultivators. With just one Golden Body Realm cultivator, they won't be able to stop them if they are determined to rebel!"

Just as he finished speaking, two golden figures rose slowly in the sky to the east.

They floated side by side with the previous golden sun, forming a triangular pattern, creating a rare spectacle of three suns in the sky.

Yu Tian and Zhou Yan were both astonished, their mouths wide open, filled with disbelief.

Could it be true?

There were actually two more people who broke through to the Golden Body Realm?

What happened at the Military Affairs Department tonight? Were they blessed by the goddess of luck or something? How could three warriors break through to the Golden Body Realm at the same time?!

"With three Golden Body Realm cultivators, Tian Ge, the Military Affairs Department should be stable now, right?"

After the shock, Zhou Yan's mood instantly became beautiful.

Compared to the local forces led by Li Shengji, who only knew how to bully others, they, as ordinary people, naturally hoped that the Military Affairs Department could take the initiative and continue to manage the city.

However, the Military Affairs Department had not been very effective before. They were suppressed by the group of six led by Li Shengji to the point where they couldn't even lift their heads, and the residents of the city were also powerless and dared not speak up.

But now, the Military Affairs Department had suddenly produced three Golden Body Realm cultivators. They finally had the ability to compete with Li Shengji and the other six on equal footing. Zhou Yan and the other low-level cultivators naturally felt joy and were happy to see this happen.

"It should... work now!"

Yu Tian stared at the three figures floating in mid-air and said softly, "With three Golden Body Realm cultivators and the heavy artillery controlled by the Military Affairs Department, even if they can't suppress Li Shengji and the others, they can at least achieve a balance of power."

"Zhou, how do you think the Military Affairs Department suddenly had so many people breaking through to the Golden Body Realm?"

"Is it a coincidence, or did they encounter a benefactor that helped them turn their lives around?"

As he spoke, Yu Tian couldn't help but think of the three gentlemen who had saved them outside the city.

The drastic changes in the Military Affairs Department seemed to have occurred only after the three gentlemen entered the city.

Otherwise, why didn't they break through earlier or later, but instead started breaking through one after another after the three gentlemen entered the city?

Although there was no concrete evidence to support this thought, Yu Tian instinctively felt that it was not just a coincidence that three martial artists broke through their golden bodies at the same time in the Military Affairs Department.

And the three gentlemen who entered the city before nightfall were undoubtedly the biggest variable.

"It doesn't matter what the reason is, as long as the Military Affairs Department can continue to control the city!" Zhou Yan didn't think too much and asked Yu Tian, "Tian Ge, can we go join the military now?"

"As long as we are selected, the Military Affairs Department will be responsible for the safety of our relatives behind us. Even if we die in battle, our children won't end up on the streets..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Tian fell silent for a moment.

All six of his brothers and Old Sun had suffered accidents, and only the two of them remained alive in the entire Demon Hunting Squad.

With such a severe personnel shortage, it was no longer possible to continue hunting demons outside the city in the short term.

And behind them, there were several children and family members left by their brothers. Even if they didn't consider themselves, they had to find a way out for these children and family members.

And from the current situation, joining the Military Affairs Department was undoubtedly the best choice.

The military's reputation, whether before or after the catastrophe, was trustworthy.

Yu Tian had not brought his brothers to join the Military Affairs Department before, but had survived as a freelance martial artist hunting demons outside the city.

It was because he didn't think highly of the Military Affairs Department's situation inside the city and believed that joining the Military Affairs Department wouldn't be much better than hunting demons outside the city on their own.

But now, the situation had fundamentally changed, and perhaps it was really time to consider joining the military.

"Alright, tomorrow we can go to the Military Affairs Department to inquire about the situation. If the conditions are suitable, we can join directly." Yu Tian nodded slightly.

"But for now, let's focus on cultivation. In this post-apocalyptic world, regardless of which side we join, our own strength is fundamental and gives us confidence!"

Saying that, Yu Tian withdrew his gaze from the sky and sat cross-legged, focusing on cultivating the "Pingyang Breathing Technique" left to him by the benefactor.

Inhale!

Exhale!

Inhale!

Exhale!

Between each breath, Yu Tian continuously adjusted his breathing rhythm, slowly integrating the "Pingyang Breathing Technique" into it.

Soon, in the moment of grasping the basics of the "Pingyang Breathing Technique," Yu Tian felt a violent tremor in his lower abdomen's Qi Sea.

Boom!

A massive influx of spiritual energy rushed into his chest and Qi Sea. The speed at which he absorbed spiritual energy had increased tenfold between each breath!

What was even more amazing was that the spiritual energy absorbed into his chest did not dissipate like before, unable to be retained.

This time, with the assistance of the "Pingyang Breathing Technique," ninety percent of the spiritual energy he absorbed into his body was successfully retained, becoming his own blood energy and internal cultivation!

It was too powerful!

Yu Tian hadn't even had time to exclaim before he felt a movement in his Qi Sea. The breakthrough opportunity he had been waiting for had directly arrived.

"This is great! I'm finally going to break through!"

Yu Tian's spirit was uplifted. Without thinking too much, he quickly calmed his mind and focused on the breakthrough.

At the same time, while talking to Sun Zhan, Liu Zimo heard a prompt in his ear:

[Your good brother Yu Tian has practiced the "Pingyang Breathing Technique", gaining some insights. His Qi erupted, and his martial arts cultivation broke through to the Intermediate Iron Bone Realm.

Triggered the talent "Stealing Heaven", sharing half of the cultivation increase, martial arts cultivation +0, spiritual power +2, lifespan +10.]

He actually broke through so quickly?

Not bad!

Liu Zimo raised an eyebrow, quite satisfied with Yu Tian's diligent cultivation as his "good brother".

Having just experienced a life-and-death battle, instead of relaxing and enjoying himself after returning to the city, he immediately began practicing the newly acquired "Pingyang Breathing Technique".

Who wouldn't like an employee who enjoys working overtime and doesn't ask for extra pay?

"Instructor Liu, the elixir you gave us earlier, I wonder if we could exchange it for some at the military department..."

Sun Zhan felt a bit embarrassed asking Liu Zimo about the elixir's information.

If possible, he certainly hoped to obtain more from Liu Zimo, not for himself, but for the other brothers in the military who have already reached the peak of the Intermediate Iron Bone Realm.

"This is the formula for refining the 'Boundary Breaking Pill'. As long as you can find the main medicinal herbs for refining the 'Boundary Breaking Pill', you can refine it yourself!"

Liu Zimo didn't hold back and directly handed the already prepared formula for the 'Boundary Breaking Pill' and the specific refining steps to Sun Zhan.

The formula, improved by his nephew, was simply foolproof. Just follow the instructions, and even with an ordinary steamer, one could successfully refine the pill.

"In addition, this time I brought some martial arts techniques. I'll send them directly to the military arsenal later!"

"Remember, with the advent of the apocalypse, the power of the military department alone is no longer enough to save and protect ourselves. Only by encouraging the entire nation to practice martial arts can Da Xia have a future, and the human race can have hope!"

When he didn't have strength, Liu Zimo didn't have the leisure to consider the future and hope of Da Xia or even the human race. At that time, he was grateful just to be able to survive. The major issues concerning the future of the human race were not his concern.

But now, when he had reached the pinnacle of martial arts, with his spiritual power fully developed and possessing the ability to influence and even change the current situation and future destiny of the human race, Liu Zimo didn't mind playing the role of a savior.

After all, if the entire human race disappeared, even if he became invincible and unparalleled, who would he show off to?

A performance without an audience is destined to be a failure and boring!

Therefore, while going out to improve his own strength, Liu Zimo also consciously or unconsciously played the role of a firefighter.

Killing insects, searching for treasures, saving people, passing on techniques, and harvesting leeks, all in one go!

"There are martial arts techniques too?!"

Sun Zhan's eyes lit up. Instructor Liu was really thoughtful, wasn't he?

You see, martial arts techniques of various levels have always been the most scarce thing in their military department. If it weren't for the limitations of martial arts techniques, their military department would have more than a hundred Iron Bone Realm warriors, how could they not have enough?

Seeing Liu Zimo take out a stack of martial arts manuals, Sun Zhan, who was overjoyed, quickly reached out to receive them.

"The 'Pingyang Breathing Technique'?"

Seeing the martial arts technique placed on top, which turned out to be a breathing technique he had never heard of before, Sun Zhan shook his head slightly. He was about to flip it over when he suddenly saw the level of the martial arts technique indicated below the 'Pingyang Breathing Technique' in the directory.

"Divine Grade martial arts technique?"

Sun Zhan couldn't help but furrow his brow in confusion.

In his understanding,

in Da Xia, and even in the entire world, martial arts techniques were judged based on the levels of Heaven, Earth, Profound, Yellow, Human, and Mortal to determine their quality.

Heaven Grade was the highest, and Mortal Grade was the lowest.

But from beginning to end, there had never been a special grade called "Divine Grade" for martial arts techniques.

And now, among the martial arts techniques that Instructor Liu gave him, the one placed at the top and most prominent position was a breathing technique, and it was labeled as the unprecedented "Divine Grade"!

How could Sun Zhan not be curious about this?

Feeling a bit embarrassed to directly ask Liu Zimo, Sun Zhan curiously flipped through the "Pingyang Breathing Technique" and quietly tried adjusting his breathing rhythm to practice for a moment.

And then...

There was no "and then".

Sun Zhan actually stood there holding a stack of martial arts manuals, directly entering a state of meditation.

The surging spiritual energy around him quietly formed a small vortex-like whirlwind.

Sun Zhan had just broken through and hadn't had time to stabilize his internal energy cultivation, but in the blink of an eye, it rapidly stabilized and strengthened!

After a while, the two officers who successfully reached the Golden Body Realm in mid-air slowly descended and respectfully saluted Liu Zimo.

Then, under Liu Zimo's signal, the two of them also began to modify the "Pingyang Breathing Technique".

Like Sun Zhan, the two of them quickly entered a state of meditation, rapidly consolidating and improving their cultivation at the initial stage of the Golden Body Realm.

"Roar~!"

A few minutes later, outside Jinmen City, all the beasts suddenly roared together.

At some point, all the monsters within dozens of kilometers had gathered together and were madly attacking the city's defensive line.

"Enemy attack!!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Full city alert!"

The alarm in the city defense headquarters suddenly sounded, echoing throughout the entire city!

The soldiers defending the city simultaneously raised their guns and shot at the attacking monsters.

The heavy artillery, rarely used, directly exploded several shells at the beginning of the monster's attack, causing a huge roar that shook the entire city area.

The warriors in the city and the soldiers resting in the major camps all quickly got up and rushed to the nearest city defense line to support the battle.

Sun Zhan and the other two were awakened from their meditation. Hearing the urgent sounds of gunfire and calls for help outside the city, they didn't hesitate and immediately flew up, quickly rushing to the city defense headquarters to support!

Li Shengji and the others who had just registered for military service, even though their hands and feet hadn't fully recovered, also hurriedly took off and flew towards the city.

In the face of the possible crisis of the city being destroyed, everyone temporarily put aside their grievances and united against the common enemy.

"There is plenty of hot blood, but they are all too impulsive."

"Especially Sun Zhan, he really can't help but praise him!"

"Just when I praised him for being a smart person, he immediately fell for the monster's trick and was played without realizing it!"

Looking at the now somewhat empty military office in the blink of an eye, Liu Zimo couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Instead of moving, he slowly raised his head and looked towards the tallest commercial building in Jinmen City.
