Martial arts realms, nine stages are perfection.
Ten stages, equivalent to surpassing limits!
Eleven stages, belong to legend!
Due to the impact of the Su Cheng ancient city massacre, Jiang Wuming's heart was filled with killing intent. During the battle, he fell into a state of madness, continuously using killing moves. Whether it was the use of true qi or the burden on his physical body, he repeatedly surpassed his limits.
After the battle, the terrifying killing intent affected Jiang Wuming's state of mind. He resisted with his spiritual will, on the verge of going berserk. Fortunately, under Qin Xiaozhi's guidance, he successfully eliminated the influence of the killing intent and, by misfortune, his martial arts realm broke through to the eleventh stage of Three-Star War God!
"Boss, you've broken through to the eleventh stage of Three-Star War God. Do you need to consolidate? If so, I'll inform everyone to not disturb you."
Qin Xiaozhi, upon sensing Jiang Wuming's breakthrough to the eleventh stage of Three-Star War God, was first overjoyed, then offered.
"Okay."
Jiang Wuming nodded.
Having just broken through, he indeed needed to stabilize and consolidate his realm, and also seriously summarize the battle that had just concluded.
In this battle, he had fallen into a state of madness, fighting entirely on combat instinct, unleashing power beyond his limits. Even without burning true qi, he had swept aside nine Four-Star War God realm extraterrestrial enemies, but he himself had nearly gone berserk, a truly perilous situation!
From now on, he must avoid such situations!
Jiang Wuming sat cross-legged on the spot, spending a full two hours to complete this.
During this time, Gaide, following Dawson's instructions, uploaded the video of Jiang Wuming's battle at the villa to the internet.
Soon, the battle video went viral in Sin City, then spread across the Divine Net forum and the global martial arts world, and finally became a massive hit on secular world online media!
Just as Dawson had predicted, some martial artists spontaneously shared combat videos of Jiang Wuming from his time in the Dragon Country's War Dragon Team, and publicized Jiang Wuming's heroic deeds.
Hanshan Temple, Putuo Temple, War God Pharmaceutical Research Institute, Donghai Martial Arts Academy...
Jiang Wuming's heroic deeds of repeatedly leading the War Dragon Team to defeat extraterrestrial enemies entered the public's view for the first time.
...
Dragon Country, Hanghu, War God Pharmaceutical Research Institute.
Li Lianyi, after taking a bath, had been reading ancient medical books for two hours and was about to go to sleep when her phone rang.
She reached for the phone on her bedside table and saw it was a call from her cousin, Li Xiaoman, so she answered.
"Lianyi, I bet you're not asleep yet!" Li Xiaoman said as soon as the call connected.
"Cousin, I was just about to sleep," Li Lianyi replied.
"Ah... you can sleep?" Li Xiaoman sounded surprised.
"Why wouldn't I be able to sleep?" Li Lianyi asked, confused.
"Jiang Wuming just finished a world-shattering battle, and it's gone viral online. How can you sleep at a time like this?!"
Li Xiaoman's surprise deepened. She had just seen the combat video of Jiang Wuming in Sin City on Dragon Country's largest video platform, and also saw his past videos.
There were also content creators who had gathered information about Jiang Wuming online and made videos about him, narrating his legendary life.
Currently, Jiang Wuming's combat videos ranked first on major online platforms, with tens of millions of views and over a million comments!
Hearing Li Xiaoman's words again, Li Lianyi forgot to reply and immediately got up, still in her pajamas, walked out of the bedroom, entered the study, and quickly turned on her computer.
She first logged into the Divine Net and saw the pinned, highlighted post containing Jiang Wuming's combat video from the Sin City villa. Then, she exited the Divine Net and logged into Dragon Country's largest short video platform.
As a result, the platform directly recommended Jiang Wuming's combat video and the content creator's summary video about Jiang Wuming.
Li Lianyi opened the summary video about Jiang Wuming. From the beginning, the screen was filled with bullet comments.
"War God, Wuming!"
"If it weren't for this video, I wouldn't have known there was such an unsung hero!"
"Salute to the hero, thank you for your protection!!"
...
Li Lianyi didn't turn off the bullet comments from the beginning to the end of the video.
To be precise, she was captivated by the bullet comments the entire time.
As for the content of the video itself, she had barely watched it.
Because she had already seen it all.
Every battle of Jiang Wuming, she had accompanied him in her own special way.
When the video ended, Li Lianyi's eyes were slightly red.
Although she knew that the boy she deeply loved didn't care about worldly fame, she had once felt indignant about the Dragon Country's Ministry of War and the War God Palace for suppressing Jiang Wuming's deeds, and felt wronged for him.
Now, Jiang Wuming had become a sensation all over the internet, and his deeds were known to everyone.
The formerly unsung hero was now vindicated!
This made her cry tears of joy!
It took her several minutes to calm her emotions, despite her usual composure, before she took out her phone and sent Jiang Wuming a message: I just watched your combat video in Sin City. Next time, remember to tell me immediately after a battle.
"Okay. I'm fine, don't worry, go to sleep. Goodnight."
Very soon, Jiang Wuming replied.
Li Lianyi smiled slightly, then closed her computer, returned to her bedroom, and snuggled into her covers, drifting off to sleep with a smile.
The next day, Li Lianyi woke up half an hour earlier than usual. However, instead of getting up, washing, and going to the cafeteria for breakfast as she normally would, she stayed in bed, took out her phone, and opened Dragon Country's largest short video platform.
She wanted to see how many views, likes, and comments Jiang Wuming's combat video and the video narrating his deeds had garnered overnight.
The result shocked and angered her!
Because, any videos related to Jiang Wuming had already disappeared from the short video platform.
Li Lianyi sat up in shock, then checked several other well-known online platforms, and the results were the same.
Across the entire Dragon Country's internet, no videos about Jiang Wuming could be found, not even any information.
Everything about Jiang Wuming had vanished from the Dragon Country's internet overnight, as if he had never appeared!
This made Li Lianyi realize something. She unwillingly opened online platforms in other countries, only to find that nothing about Jiang Wuming could be found there either.
Even the Divine Net forum had deleted the combat video of Jiang Wuming in Sin City, leaving only posts from countless martial artists expressing angry doubts.
"Why was Jiang Wuming's combat video deleted?"
"Although Jiang Wuming has withdrawn from Dragon Country's Ministry of War and the War God Palace, he is still a part of the global martial arts community and continues to fight extraterrestrial enemies. His combat deeds should be known to the world, and his combat videos should be released to everyone!"
"The deletion of information and combat videos about Jiang Wuming by the Divine Net forum and secular networks, making a true hero unsung, is the greatest tragedy of this era!"
"Brothers, the Divine Net forum deleted Jiang Wuming's combat video, but the dark web forum has it. We can follow Jiang Wuming on the dark web forum from now on!"
"Let's go, brothers, let's all move our base of operations to the dark web forum. The Divine Net forum has changed its nature, F***!!"
Li Lianyi watched the posts about Jiang Wuming's combat video being deleted. The anger in her heart gradually subsided, and she slowly regained her composure.
Having calmed down, she understood the reasons behind it and abandoned the idea of calling her grandfather, Li Guyi.
Reason told her that even if she called Li Guyi and asked him to intervene, it would not change the situation of Jiang Wuming being blacklisted.
...
Two hours later.
Yanjing, Ye Family Compound.
Ye Zheng was just about to start his day's work when his secretary reported that Ye Feng requested an audience with him.
In response, Ye Zheng temporarily set aside his work and met Ye Feng in the study.
After greetings, Ye Feng sat opposite Ye Zheng, his back straight and posture correct, exuding an air of integrity.
Ye Zheng was very satisfied with this and proactively asked, "Xiao Feng, you're here to see me about Jiang Wuming's matter, aren't you?"
"Yes, Grandpa," Ye Feng replied.
"Xiao Feng, although the combat videos of Jiang Wuming were spread online last night, even some of his past deeds, which might have a certain impact on you, the impact is very limited. This is because he is no longer a member of Dragon Country's Ministry of War and has left Dragon Country. He cannot replace you as the spokesperson for Dragon Country's extraterrestrial wars! Moreover, as far as I know, all information about Jiang Wuming has been deleted, whether in Dragon Country, abroad, or even on the Divine Net forum where martial artists gather!"
Ye Zheng smiled faintly.
He knew about Jiang Wuming's involvement in the Mount Everest battlefield and considered Jiang Wuming too impulsive. He had also regretted Jiang Wuming's departure.
However, after his regret, he had initiated a series of operations that made Ye Feng the biggest beneficiary of this matter.
"Grandpa, you've misunderstood my intention," Ye Feng said seriously.
"Oh? Didn't you just say you came about Jiang Wuming's matter?" Ye Zheng asked, looking at Ye Feng with a hint of confusion.
"Grandpa, I did come about Jiang Wuming's matter, but not because his combat videos and heroic deeds have gone viral globally and will affect me..."
"Then what is it about?"
Ye Zheng interrupted Ye Feng.
"I wish to implore Grandpa to use all his energy and resources to change the current situation of Jiang Wuming being blacklisted!"
Ye Feng's words were astonishing.
Swish!
Ye Zheng's expression changed, and he looked at his grandson in surprise: "Xiao Feng, are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes, Grandpa," Ye Feng nodded firmly.
"Xiao Feng, let's not discuss the possibility of this matter for now. If all information about Jiang Wuming is indeed restored online, he will completely overshadow you, replace you as the banner of Dragon Country's extraterrestrial wars for the younger generation, and it will have a negative impact on you, affecting your future development!"
Ye Zheng explained the pros and cons with a serious expression.
The current Ye Feng was not only the spokesperson for Dragon Country's extraterrestrial wars but had also replaced Jiang Wuming to become the most popular candidate for the future Marshal of the Ministry of War!
"Grandpa, I know."
Ye Feng nodded calmly, as if he didn't care at all about the impact this would have on him.
"Then why do you still want to do this?"
Ye Zheng gazed at Ye Feng, feeling for the first time that he could not fully comprehend his eldest grandson, whom he had placed so much hope on since childhood.
"Grandpa, I know that your hard work and the family's hard work are behind my becoming the spokesperson for Dragon Country's extraterrestrial wars. Knowing all this, I chose to accept your and the family's arrangements, but... I am resistant in my heart."
Ye Feng paused here and said, "Because, my virtue does not match my position! I am not worthy!!"
"Xiao Feng..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zheng's expression changed.
However—
This time, before Ye Zheng could finish speaking,
His eldest grandson, whom he had placed so much hope on, the former sharp blade of the army, and now a rising star in the Ministry of War, interrupted him for the first time in his life.
"Grandpa, you once told me that Jiang Wuming was the darling of the era. At that time, he was at the peak of his career in the Ministry of War, and you told me to let go of grudges, cast aside prejudices, and befriend him.
Now, he has become an outcast of the Ministry of War, far from home, and can only hide in Sin City. But in my heart, he is the hero of this era!"
Amidst Ye Zheng's astonished expression, the sharp blade of the army, exuding an air of integrity, stood up and saluted:
"Heroes should not be nameless!!"
