That day, due to Dawson's appearance, Jiang Wuming did not kill the four people at Saint West Mountain Villa.
This was Jiang Wuming's way of returning Dawson's favor.
Regal and the other three were also sensible. They immediately declared their intention to lead their subordinates to join the Battle Dragon Hall, stating that they would do their utmost to defend the City of Sin, bravely fight enemies, and uphold the glory of the Battle Dragon Hall!
The people of the Saint West Gang were directly incorporated into the Battle Dragon Hall.
Thus, the task of defending against the invasion of extraterrestrial enemies in the east and west districts of the City of Sin was entirely handed over to the Battle Dragon Hall.
The Battle Dragon Hall also became the most powerful force in the City of Sin!
For the next month and more, Jiang Wuming remained in seclusion and cultivation at the mountain villa.
During this period, the City of Sin encountered two attacks from extraterrestrial enemies.
The first time, extraterrestrial enemies descended upon the northern district and were eliminated by Master Pool and his men, who were in the northern district. No major casualties occurred.
The second time, extraterrestrial enemies descended upon the western district.
Regal, Hobbit, Midas, and Maguire led their subordinates to resist fiercely, engaging in a bloody battle with the enemies. Ultimately, at the cost of some casualties, they achieved victory.
Jiang Wuming was unaware of these two battles, and Qin Xiaozhi did not report them to him.
This was because Qin Xiaozhi knew that Jiang Wuming was aiming to break through to the ninth stage of the Four-star Battle God realm and also to elevate his mental power cultivation.
Under such circumstances, unless it was an exceptionally urgent situation, Qin Xiaozhi would not disturb Jiang Wuming.
"My martial cultivation has reached the ninth stage of the Four-star Battle God. It's time to focus on mental cultivation and strive to break through my mental power domain to the sixth stage of the Three-star Battle God!"
On this day, Jiang Wuming ended his martial cultivation within the mysterious space.
More than a month in the real world equated to nearly a year of cultivation for Jiang Wuming in the mysterious space.
In one year, he had cultivated his martial arts to the ninth stage of the Four-star Battle God, and his mastery of the Yin-Yang True Intent was already perfect.
"Dao begets one, one begets two, two is Yin and Yang, and from them all things are born."
As the most profound True Intent in this world, the Yin-Yang True Intent essentially encompassed all True Intents. Jiang Wuming achieved complete mastery, and based on the Yin-Yang True Intent, he comprehended several True Intents related to his martial arts techniques, such as the Thunder True Intent, the Saber Intent, and so on.
During the process of comprehending True Intents, Jiang Wuming's spiritual will and mental power were tempered to varying degrees, showing subtle signs of breaking through the Three-star Battle God realm.
Therefore, Jiang Wuming decided to set aside his martial cultivation for the time being and focus entirely on breaking through his spiritual cultivation.
Throughout this period, Jiang Wuming's mental power cultivation had always progressed slower than his martial cultivation, but he had never given up on mental cultivation.
"Grasp both hands, and make both hands strong!"
This was Jiang Wuming's requirement for himself!
"Boss!"
However, just as Jiang Wuming was collecting his thoughts and preparing to continue his cultivation, Qin Xiaozhi's voice was heard from the hall downstairs.
Jiang Wuming's heart stirred. He stopped cultivating, left the mysterious space, and then went downstairs.
"Boss, a special guest wishes to see you."
Upon seeing Jiang Wuming descend, Qin Xiaozhi proactively stated his purpose.
"Who is it?" Jiang Wuming asked.
"She didn't want me to say." Qin Xiaozhi replied mysteriously.
Jiang Wuming's heart moved, and a figure immediately appeared in his mind. He said with slight excitement, "I know. Ask her to wait a moment. I'll take a shower and change my clothes."
"Okay."
Qin Xiaozhi said with a smile. He could tell that Jiang Wuming had guessed the identity of the mysterious visitor.
As the saying goes, a man's speed in showering depends on the woman waiting.
Just ten minutes later, Jiang Wuming had finished his shower, changed his clothes, and arrived at the main building of the mountain villa.
The main building of the mountain villa was a three-story structure designed for hospitality, containing reception rooms, a multi-functional conference hall, and a dining room.
After arriving at the main building, Jiang Wuming clearly sensed three presences within the reception room of the main building. Besides Qin Xiaozhi, there was the presence of a Four-star Battle God, and the last presence was that of an ordinary person.
That presence was extremely familiar to Jiang Wuming!
Li Lianyi!
And the owner of the Four-star Battle God presence was the Li family's head butler – Zhu Mo!
"Lianyi, why are you here?"
Jiang Wuming pushed open the door to the reception room and saw Li Lianyi sitting inside, drinking tea.
Whoosh!
Before Li Lianyi could reply, Zhu Mo and Qin Xiaozhi rose and left the room, departing without even bidding Jiang Wuming farewell.
"You don't welcome my visit?"
Li Lianyi asked with a smile.
Today, her hair was tied up. She wore a white qipao adorned with ink wash paintings. Her fair, straight legs were bare, exuding beauty and sexiness. She wore a pair of cloth shoes. Combined with her noble and elegant demeanor, she looked like a Chinese fairy descending from a painting.
"I meant, why didn't you inform me before you came," Jiang Wuming said with a wry smile.
"I wanted to surprise you."
Li Lianyi stood up, walked in front of Jiang Wuming, and said with a smile.
"I remember you were busy conquering the latest drug research not long ago. Did you succeed?"
Jiang Wuming gazed into the girl's beautiful eyes and asked.
"I succeeded the day you broke through to the sixth stage of the Four-star Battle God. It's named Gene No. 1. Gene No. 1's medicinal effect is ten times that of the best gene drugs before. In other words, it can stimulate a cultivator's potential ten times over."
Li Lianyi spoke of her latest work achievement without any pride or arrogance, simply sharing it with Jiang Wuming.
"That high?!"
Jiang Wuming was surprised. He knew very well what this meant – it would change China and the global martial arts world!
"Mm."
Li Lianyi first nodded, then explained the reason. "In addition to the experts' full dedication, the greatest thanks for this success go to your master."
"My master?" Jiang Wuming was puzzled.
"Grandpa Tianlong killed several top powerhouses from the extraterrestrial world in the battle at Mount Everest, including a true Heavenly God realm expert! We obtained the flesh and blood of those powerhouses, extracted their genes, and conducted analysis and research. This is the key to our successful development of Gene No. 1!" Li Lianyi explained the reason.
"So that's how it is!"
Jiang Wuming suddenly understood.
He had asked Tianlong Daoist more than once why the extraterrestrial world was more suitable for cultivation than Earth, and why extraterrestrial enemies even called Earth a desert for martial arts.
Tianlong Daoist had given two reasons: first, the environment of the extraterrestrial world was more conducive to martial arts cultivation, and second, the people of the extraterrestrial world were inherently more suited for martial arts cultivation.
After the extraterrestrial war began, a large number of researchers on Earth conducted research in this area, eventually reaching similar conclusions and proceeding with gene drug development.
It was impossible to change Earth's cultivation environment – this was not something that could be changed by human efforts. However, Earthlings' genetic constitution could be changed!
"In one month, we produced ten thousand capsules of Gene No. 1, and I brought them all to you."
Li Lianyi blinked her eyes with a smile.
"Uh..."
Jiang Wuming was stunned on the spot.
He remembered the girl saying before that if the new drug was successfully developed, she would deliver it to Jiang Wuming as soon as possible to help Jiang Wuming develop and strengthen the Battle Dragon Hall.
As a result, not long after, the girl had fulfilled her promise and personally delivered it!
"Thank you..."
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Jiang Wuming instinctively started to say thank you.
The girl glared at him.
Jiang Wuming immediately swallowed the rest of his words and then pulled the girl into his embrace.
The girl also reached out to hug the young man's waist, resting her head against his chest. Feeling the young man's familiar presence and listening to his strong heartbeat, she felt that everything around her gradually faded away, leaving only the two of them in the entire world.
For a moment, she wished for eternity.
...
In Europa, within the ancient castle known as the forbidden zone for warriors,
Anthony @ Roman, the owner of the castle, appeared in the main hall and met his father, Saint Louis @ Roman.
"That Bak from the City of Sin, was that your arrangement?"
Saint Louis @ Roman, upon seeing Anthony @ Roman, could not help but ask.
This question had been weighing on his mind for a long time, but he had not asked Anthony @ Roman until this meeting.
"Yes, unfortunately, that trash was useless."
Anthony @ Roman nodded.
"I have carefully reviewed the entire sequence of events. That Bak was very cautious, even using forbidden techniques and fighting desperately. I didn't expect that worm to break through to the Four-star Battle God realm during the battle."
Saint Louis @ Roman shared his opinion. In his view, Bak had come very close to killing Jiang Wuming in that battle!
Anthony @ Roman remained silent.
He had chosen Bak for various reasons, one of which was that Bak was a schemer, acting cautiously and carefully. Such people usually gave their all even when facing a weak opponent!
"That worm broke through to the Four-star Battle God realm, but you haven't made a move in the past month. Were you waiting for someone from the extraterrestrial world to kill him?" Saint Louis @ Roman asked again.
"No."
Anthony @ Roman shook his head and said, "If the extraterrestrial world wanted to send someone to kill him, they would have done so long ago and wouldn't have waited until now."
"What do you mean?"
Saint Louis @ Roman was confused.
"The extraterrestrial world is wary of Old Daoist Tianlong. They believe that Old Daoist Tianlong has recovered his injuries and combat power. At this stage, the extraterrestrial world is not confident that anyone can descend to this world and kill Old Daoist Tianlong. Moreover, they are worried that that worm is a bait, and Old Daoist Tianlong is hidden in the City of Sin."
Anthony @ Roman said slowly.
"Is that so."
Saint Louis @ Roman looked thoughtfully at Anthony @ Roman, suspecting that the extraterrestrial world's intelligence spies might be under Anthony @ Roman's control.
"I didn't make a move in the past month because I didn't have the opportunity. Now, the opportunity has arrived."
Anthony @ Roman smiled slightly. "Dear Father, you need to take a trip to the American continent."
