Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

131. Chapter 131 The Jinmen Incident, If You Don't Teach, You Will Be Punished!

Chapter 131: The Incident at Jinmen, No Teaching, Only Execution!

When they arrived at the military office, apart from Li Shengji, who had successfully repaired all four limbs and returned to a normal human form due to his profound cultivation, the other five were either just growing a leg or just growing two arms, none of them were complete.

Especially the awakened superpower user who had awakened the ability to fly, because he hadn't even reached the Golden Body Realm, he could only maintain the state of a "human stick" and fly with the others, it was a pitiful sight.

As soon as the group of nine people arrived, they immediately attracted great attention at the military office. The guards on duty, the soldiers training at night, and many officers who had not yet rested, all looked at Li Shengji, Zhu Fang, and the others who landed in the center of the camp with disbelief.

Liu Zimo and his two disciples, who looked unfamiliar, were not recognized by anyone. But Li Shengji, Zhu Fang, and the other six were the only six in Jinmen City who possessed the ability to fly. These people were usually high and mighty, not putting the military office in their eyes at all.

But now, look at what they all look like? Zhu Fang, Qi Shengyun, Zhang Ya, and Yang Wei, either missing an arm or a leg, covered in bloodstains, they were extremely miserable. And Zhao Sanxian, the only awakened superpower user in the city, had lost both arms and legs! His whole body had turned into a "human stick," floating in the air, it was terrifying to look at.

It was nighttime now, and most of the citizens were hiding in their houses and dared not go out. Otherwise, if they saw his state, they would definitely be scared out of their wits.

Among the six familiar faces, the only one with a healthy body was Li Shengji, the owner of the Yulin Martial Arts Hall. However, even though Li Shengji had all four limbs intact, his shoulder and thigh were visibly marked by the tears in his clothes. If it weren't for the fact that he was wearing a suit and trousers, one would think that this powerful Golden Body Realm expert was wearing short sleeves and shorts! His white arms and thighs were all exposed, it was incredibly strange!

Seeing the six of them in such a miserable state, the soldiers and officers at the military office couldn't help but feel a sense of schadenfreude after the initial panic and confusion.

Liu Zimo noticed the change in the emotions on the faces and in the eyes of the military officers, and instantly understood what was going on. Judging from Li Shengji, Zhu Fang, and the others' attitude towards him as a martial arts consultant at the military office, it was not difficult for Liu Zimo to guess how arrogant and domineering these six people were in Jinmen.

It was similar to the situation they encountered in Sansource City. When the firearms and weapons in the hands of the military gradually lost their power and deterrence, those martial artists who considered themselves powerful couldn't help but come out and challenge the authority of the military office.

Li Shengji and the others were almost all in the Golden Body Realm. Not only did they have the ability to fly, but their bodies were also like copper and iron, even heavy artillery couldn't hurt them.

In this situation, it was not surprising that they didn't put the military office in their eyes and even provocatively challenged it.

"Oh my, what happened to you guys? Were you robbed or attacked? Why do you look so miserable?" Sun Zhan, the director of the Jinmen military office, who hurriedly arrived after hearing the report from his subordinates, began to shout loudly from a distance, with a look of concern.

As if he didn't see the embarrassed and blushing expressions on Li Shengji, Zhu Fang, and the others' faces as he shouted, "Oh my, I feel so sorry for you guys!" "Li Shengji, please tell me, did the demonic beasts attack the city, or did you finally catch that Golden Body Realm demonic beast?"

"It's really hard for you guys. For the safety of the millions of citizens in Jinmen, you guys have really suffered!" Sun Zhan even enthusiastically reached out to shake hands with Li Shengji, expressing his gratitude.

When he deliberately reached out to the front of Zhu Fang, Qi Shengyun, and the others, who hadn't had time to grow their arms, he even patted their severed arm wounds, causing them to gasp in pain.

This person was too cruel! Just because he had lost face a few times before, did he have to retaliate so openly at this time?

Seeing all six of them gritting their teeth and glaring at him, but none of them answering his question, Sun Zhan didn't mind and turned his head to look at Liu Zimo and his two disciples.

He wasn't stupid, seeing these six guys who were usually arrogant and now not only were they all in a sorry state, but they also humbly followed behind three young people who looked unfamiliar. Even if he used his heel to think, Sun Zhan could imagine that they had kicked an iron plate and had been taught a lesson.

And these three young people who looked unfamiliar were undoubtedly the main characters.

"I am Sun Zhan, the current director of the Jinmen Military Participation Department. May I ask who you all are..."

Sun Zhan introduced himself and at the same time asked Liu Zimo about their identities and backgrounds.

However, before he could finish speaking, he suddenly noticed the unique golden badge on Liu Zimo's chest.

Snap!

Sun Zhan decisively closed his mouth, stood up straight, and saluted Liu Zimo in a standard and impeccable manner.

"Director of the Jinmen Military Participation Department, former captain of the Internal Guard Battalion, Sun Zhan, I have seen the instructor!"

Upon hearing Sun Zhan's self-identification and learning that he had been a captain of the Internal Guard Battalion, Liu Zimo couldn't help but understand.

No wonder he could recognize the advisor badge at a glance and address him as an instructor directly.

Like Hong Yuxun, since Liu Zimo became the martial arts advisor of the Military Participation Department, he automatically obtained the position of an instructor in the Internal Guard Battalion.

However, this position was honorary and had no mandatory attributes.

Whether he joined or not, whether he taught the Internal Guard techniques or not, it was voluntary and up to him. Even if Liu Zimo didn't join for a day, his position as an instructor would always remain.

Liu Zimo looked up and down at Sun Zhan.

Around forty years old, with fierce eyes and eyebrows, a restrained heroic spirit, and a red lock on his head, his cultivation was at the peak of the Iron Bone Realm.

Potential for a grandmaster?

Not bad!

Liu Zimo nodded slightly, and with a thought, he locked onto the red lock on Sun Zhan's head.

【Binding successful! Your good brother Sun Zhan is now online. Currently available binding targets (84/100).】

"So it's Captain Sun, nice to meet you!"

"My surname is Liu, Liu Zimo!"

Knowing that the other party had been in the Internal Guard, a true comrade, Liu Zimo's expression became slightly gentler. He nodded lightly at Sun Zhan and introduced himself.

Then, Liu Zimo raised his hand and waved the identification card in his hand, casually asking Sun Zhan:

"Captain Sun, no, now I should call you Director Sun. Do you still need to verify my identification?"

"Just now, these few doubted the authenticity of my identity, which led to some conflicts and a few cuts. If you don't verify the authenticity of this card, I'm afraid they will be convinced in their hearts but not in their mouths!"

The people lying next to them, such as Li Shengji, who had been shot, quickly shook their heads and waved their hands, claiming it was a misunderstanding.

Seeing this, Sun Zhan instantly understood the cause and effect of the matter.

Glancing at Li Shengji, Zhu Fang, and others who were scared out of their wits, he thought to himself, they deserved it.

A bunch of idiots who only look at the sky and ignore the ground!

Do they really think that anyone can qualify to be the martial arts advisor of the Military Participation Department?

If it weren't for being strong enough and having stunning qualifications, as well as the recognition of General Wu and Elder Hong, how could such an important advisor badge be given away?

You see...

This advisor badge represents more than just the identity of an advisor.

With it, not only can you gain the obedience and recognition of all the Internal Guards in the Military Participation Department.

It also represents a position at least equivalent to a high-ranking officer. Even outside the capital city, it grants the right to act with convenience.

If it were in the feudal dynasties of the past, this badge would be on par with the Imperial Sword.

However, judging from Advisor Liu's appearance, he himself seems to be unaware of the importance of this advisor badge.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone through the trouble of verifying his identification.

"Could it be that because Advisor Liu is too young, General Wu and Elder Hong want to let him gain more experience before telling him the truth?"

Sun Zhan speculated in his mind and did not take the initiative to mention the implied meaning of the advisor badge to Liu Zimo.

"There is absolutely no need for that!" Sun Zhan decisively said, "The advisor badge of the Military Participation Department is not something that anyone can qualify for!"

"Moreover, we in the Internal Guard Battalion have a rule of recognizing the badge, not the person. As long as you have the ability to take the badge from a true advisor, then you are the true martial arts advisor!"

"Therefore, since you revealed this badge, your identity can no longer be questioned by anyone!"

After finishing speaking, Sun Zhan turned around and looked at Li Shengji and the others with a faint smile. He jokingly said, "Li Lao, Manager Zhu, you wanted to verify the authenticity of Advisor Liu's identity, right? If you have the ability to snatch the Advisor badge from Advisor Liu, then you can also become the martial arts advisor of the Military Participation Department!"

"In that case, the Jinmen Military Participation Department will naturally be at your disposal!"

Li Shengji and Zhu Fang's faces instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and they felt the urge to tear Sun Zhan apart.

How could he play tricks on them at a time like this? Does he have no sympathy at all?

"Oh?"

Liu Zimo heard the implied meaning in Sun Zhan's words and turned his head to look at Li Shengji and the others, asking softly, "What? Do you all still want to control the Military Participation Department and replace Director Sun?"

"Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"

"Advisor Liu, we never had such intentions. Director Sun is just overthinking!"

They all shook their heads repeatedly.

Joking aside, admitting in front of the special envoy of the Military Participation Department that they wanted to control the department was like seeking death.

In their hearts, this Advisor Liu in front of them was no better than the thick-faced and sinister Sun Zhan.

They had just met, and because of a misunderstanding, their arms and legs were almost broken off.

If he found an excuse and a reason, they would have no chance of survival.

"I hope so!"

Liu Zimo warned them with a glance and said in a calm voice, "Jinmen is only over a hundred kilometers away from the capital. If anything happens, there are plenty of grandmasters in the capital who can come and investigate at any time!"

Li Shengji and the others couldn't help but tremble at his words.

Is it true?

Besides Hong Yuxun, who else in the capital is qualified to reach the realm of grandmaster?

However.

When they saw Liu Zimo and the two little girls beside him, everyone fell silent.

Even a five or six-year-old girl had reached the realm of grandmaster. What in this world was impossible?

Perhaps something extraordinary had really happened in the capital?

"Director Sun!"

Liu Zimo turned his gaze to Sun Zhan again and said softly, "To forge iron, one must be strong. Even if the capital supports you, if you can't stand on your own, everything will be in vain."

Sun Zhan's face turned bitter, and he familiarly approached Liu Zimo, complaining, "To be honest, we all understand the reason, but the progress in martial arts strength is really beyond our control!"

"In these past few months, both I and the soldiers in each camp have spent almost all of our time practicing martial arts, aside from maintaining daily order!"

"But, no matter the martial arts resources or techniques in our Military Participation Department, they are all limited. Even if we work hard, we are far behind those martial arts halls and aristocratic families that have completed the inheritance of martial arts techniques!"

"Now you've seen the situation. Just a few Golden Body realm warriors in the city have suppressed the entire Military Participation Department."

"To be honest with you, ever since these old bastards broke through to the Golden Body realm, I haven't been able to sleep well at night, fearing that one day they will go crazy and rush in to slaughter the Military Participation Department and establish their own kingdom!"

Sun Zhan said these words in front of Li Shengji and the others without any concealment, causing them to feel a chill in their hearts.

They cursed Sun Zhan for being too malicious, unloading the millstone and harboring evil intentions!

By saying this, isn't he clearly inciting Advisor Liu to solve their worries?

He's really not a good person!

"Advisor Liu, we have always been law-abiding citizens. When the demonic calamity broke out, which one of us didn't actively step forward to kill the demons and protect the city and its people?"

"Director Sun, let's speak and act with a clear conscience!"

"You tell me, if it weren't for us, with just a few guns from your Military Participation Department, could you defend Jinmen City? Could you survive the second demonic calamity?!"

"Yes, we have indeed been arrogant and conceited during this period. But I swear on my conscience, we have never thought of slaughtering the Military Participation Department or betraying Da Xia to establish our own kingdom!"

Upon hearing the roars and refutations of several people, Sun Zhan sneered and ignored them.

Liu Zimo was the same.

On the surface, it seemed that Sun Zhan was using some people and not using others, stirring up trouble here and killing the donkey after grinding its hooves.

But Liu Zimo, who knew the history of Jinmen well, knew very well that Sun Zhan's previous ideas and concerns were not wrong at all.

In the previous life, the famous "Jinmen Incident" was even recorded in the federal history books. Who didn't know about it?

These people, a year after the disaster struck, boldly brought in a mid-level monster into the Jinmen military camp and slaughtered all the officers stationed there.

Then, they appeared as saviors and successfully killed the mid-level monster. After that, they took over and controlled all the remaining camps in the military camp.

At this point, the entire Jinmen fell into their hands.

All the resources in Jinmen City were under their control and consumption, and they became like emperors who could control the life and death of the entire city.

This matter was originally well covered up. Li Shengji, because of his contributions to disaster relief, successfully advanced to the realm of Grandmaster afterwards.

In addition, they saw the rise of the federation and wisely surrendered the entire city, receiving praise from the federal government and being named one of the top ten Grandmasters of the federation, gaining great fame.

If it weren't for Li Shengji's son revealing the truth of this matter during a drunken episode ten years later, successfully arousing suspicion from the federal government and initiating an investigation mechanism, the truth of Sun Zhan and others' deaths would probably never see the light of day.

The reason why Liu Zimo immediately took action and cut off the hands and feet of Li Shengji and others when he saw them was precisely because of this.

He wanted to kill their arrogance before they made any mistakes, to restrain their increasingly inflated mentality, and give them a chance to reshape their character.

Otherwise, if they continued to fear nothing and show no respect for anyone or anything, their actions would only become more and more reckless.

After all, they were all Martial Artists in the Golden Body Realm, and Li Shengji had even greater potential as a Grandmaster. It would be a pity to kill them without teaching them a lesson.

Of course.

If they really couldn't be "taught," Liu Zimo wouldn't mind having another batch of "leeks" and sending them off early.

Swish!

Feeling the cold killing intent emanating from Liu Zimo, Li Shengji and the others shivered at the same time, filled with fear in their hearts.

Could this Advisor Liu really want to kill them?!

"For the current Jinmen City, they are more useful alive than dead."

Liu Zimo said calmly,

"So, let's keep them for now. When the day comes that they truly have evil intentions, it won't be too late to kill them!"

Phew!

Li Shengji and the others all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Their legs were so weak that they felt like they were about to collapse. They had a strong sense of surviving a disaster.

"As for the problem mentioned by Director Sun, it's actually easy to solve." Liu Zimo looked at Sun Zhan and said, "As long as Director Sun breaks through to the Golden Body Realm now and possesses the strength of the Golden Body Realm, everything will be easily resolved!"

A Military Advisor in the Golden Body Realm, although still not a match for Li Shengji and the others, would have a certain deterrent effect, making Li Shengji and the others feel fear and not dare to act recklessly.

"But..." Sun Zhan's face darkened, and he whispered, "I also want to, but..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a flash of red light appeared before his eyes, and a pill with a faint red glow floated in front of him.

"Eat it, and you should be almost there!"

Liu Zimo's voice came leisurely.

Sun Zhan's mind moved, and out of trust in the Martial Arts Advisor, he directly swallowed the pill without hesitation.

In an instant, golden light shone, and the sun rose!

The entire military camp, and even the entire Jinmen, were illuminated by the sudden intense golden light in the dark night!

"He actually... really broke through to the Golden Body Realm?!"

Below.

Li Shengji, Zhu Fang, and the others looked up at Sun Zhan, who was floating in mid-air like the sun, dumbfounded on the spot.

And all the soldiers and guards in the military camp, seeing their Director Sun also transforming into a sun and breaking through to the Golden Body Realm, couldn't help but cheer loudly!
