The next morning.
More than two hundred members of the War Dragon Hall, clad in uniform battle armor and wielding sabers, formed a battle formation on the golf course serving as a training ground.
Xing Tian stood at the forefront of the formation, ready to impart martial arts techniques to the members.
Qin Xiaozhi stood not far away, observing.
To enable the War Dragon Hall members to grow quickly, Jiang Wuming decided to teach them the God-Slaying Saber Technique.
The God-Slaying Saber Technique was created by Jiang Zhan and was the most suitable martial art for the battlefield.
As Jiang Zhan's son, Jiang Wuming was the most qualified to inherit this martial art and had the right to promote it.
This was why Jiang Wuming chose to teach the God-Slaying Saber Technique.
However, he was only responsible for explaining the essence of the techniques, while Xing Tian was in charge of the specific execution and practice.
This was Qin Xiaozhi's suggestion.
Xing Tian had now cultivated to the ninth stage of a one-star War God and had grasped the first four forms of the God-Slaying Saber Technique: Shatter Stone, Split Mountain, Sever River, and Open Heaven.
Dongfang Xiaoyao had cultivated to the tenth stage of a one-star War God and had a deeper understanding of the God-Slaying Saber Technique than Xing Tian, but her cold disposition made her unsuitable for teaching.
As for Huangfu Weixia, she was currently only at the seventh stage of a one-star War God, and neither her strength nor her comprehension of the God-Slaying Saber Technique could compare to Xing Tian's.
Moreover, in the past few years, while Xing Tian had followed Jiang Wuming in battles in the dark world, he had served as the vanguard for the War Dragon Hall and was more familiar with its members.
"The Widows' Brigade is here."
A moment later, after Xing Tian had finished demonstrating the first four forms of the God-Slaying Saber Technique to the War Dragon Hall members, Dongfang Xiaoyao approached Qin Xiaozhi and spoke.
Now, in addition to continuing to act as Jiang Wuming's shadow as before, she was also responsible for the security of the entire estate.
She had just received a report from the guards at the estate's entrance.
"Let's go, we'll greet them."
Qin Xiaozhi's heart stirred upon hearing this.
Although he had heard from Jiang Wuming yesterday that Black Widow would be bringing the entire Widows' Brigade to join the War Dragon Hall, he hadn't expected them to arrive so quickly.
"They're already coming this way."
Dongfang Xiaoyao's gaze swept into the distance. Her strength was greater than Qin Xiaozhi's, and her range of sensing auras was wider, allowing her to detect the auras of Black Widow and others moving rapidly towards them.
"Xing Tian, have the brothers stop for a moment and welcome our new members."
Qin Xiaozhi, upon hearing this, abandoned the idea of going to greet them and shouted to Xing Tian.
"Got it!"
Xing Tian responded immediately and stopped the martial arts practice.
Swish, swish, swish…
The members of the War Dragon Hall turned their gazes towards the road leading to the golf course, their eyes filled with curiosity.
They didn't know that Black Widow was bringing people to join the War Dragon Hall. They were now curious as to who these new members were, that they had to stop their martial arts practice and welcome them collectively.
A few minutes later, the answer was revealed.
Black Widow, wearing a fiery red dress with her long hair fluttering in the wind, appeared in everyone's sight first, like a streak of red light.
Black Widow?
Upon seeing Black Widow, the members of the War Dragon Hall were all stunned into silence.
Before coming to the City of Sin, they had all researched information about the City of Sin and naturally knew of the renowned Black Widow.
However—
Before they could recover from their shock, their eyes widened again!
This was because eighteen women, pulling suitcases, were following behind Black Widow.
They were all members of the Widows' Brigade. The strongest possessed the strength of a three-star War God, and the weakest was a nine-star martial artist.
Due to their martial arts training, they had no excess fat. Each of them had a figure that could be described as devilish. Paired with their eye-catching attire, they looked like a group of models walking a runway.
"Holy shit!"
"God, are they all joining the War Dragon Hall to become our new companions?"
"Praise to the boss, I love these new companions to death!!"
…
After a brief moment of shock, the War Dragon Hall members on the golf course seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. Their eyes were shining, and they were roaring, feeling as if they wanted to rush forward immediately, grasp the tender white hands of the Widows' Brigade members, and warmly welcome them.
However—
Despite their excitement, none of them did so, nor did they even move a muscle.
The War Dragon Hall had always operated under military management. Without Xing Tian's command, they would not step half a foot away from the training ground.
This was also why Qin Xiaozhi had previously asked Xing Tian to inform them to stop their martial arts practice.
"A bunch of weaklings!"
"Are the legendary War Dragon Hall members this weak?"
"I feel like I can take on all of them by myself!"
"Remove the 'feel,' you can!"
…
At the same time, as the members of the Widows' Brigade walked quickly towards the golf course with Black Widow, they clearly felt the excited and restless gazes of the War Dragon Hall members, and they could also sense the strength of the War Dragon Hall members.
Very weak.
This was their assessment.
Because, apart from Xing Tian, Dongfang Xiaoyao, and Huangfu Weixia, there was only one other War Dragon Hall member present who was a one-star War God. The rest had not yet crossed the formidable barrier of the War God realm.
"Don't underestimate them. Some of them were members of the Dragon Country's War Dragon Team and have extensive combat experience. For example, that God of Guns, Xiaozhi, if kept at a certain distance, he can take all of you down by himself! Not to mention the Hall Master of the War Dragon Hall, who once swept through dozens of extraterrestrial enemies alone, including eight four-star War Gods and three at the tenth stage of a four-star War God!"
Black Widow stopped their discussions upon hearing the murmurs behind her.
Swish, swish, swish…
Upon hearing Black Widow's words, the eighteen women immediately stopped their discussions, their expressions changing.
They had all heard of Jiang Wuming's fame and felt a deep sense of admiration and curiosity towards him, but they were unaware of Jiang Wuming's achievements in the Mount Everest battlefield.
Subsequently, they invariably followed Black Widow's gaze and looked towards Qin Xiaozhi.
Ever since Qin Xiaozhi achieved deification in the battle at Putuo Temple, the title "God of Guns Xiaozhi" had spread throughout Dragon Country and even the global martial arts community.
The members of the Widows' Brigade naturally knew of Qin Xiaozhi.
At the same time, Qin Xiaozhi, along with Dongfang Xiaoyao, Xing Tian, and Huangfu Weixia, strode directly to meet Black Widow and her group.
"Hello, Master Jessica. I am Qin Xiaozhi. On behalf of the War Dragon Hall, I welcome you all! We are honored to be able to fight alongside you in the future!"
Soon, Qin Xiaozhi arrived in front of Black Widow and stopped, saying with a smile.
"Where is Wuming's brother? Why isn't he here? Does he not welcome our arrival?" Black Widow asked with a smile.
"Of course not. The boss is in closed-door cultivation. I'll report to him immediately," Qin Xiaozhi said quickly.
"Brother, I was just joking. There's no need to inform him. Just arrange for someone to take us to our accommodation," Black Widow said with a smile.
"I'll accompany you personally."
Qin Xiaozhi said this, thinking to himself: Shen Ge, you're awesome!
"Okay."
Black Widow nodded in agreement.
"Hey, brother, where's your custom sniper rifle?"
"That's right, why didn't you bring your custom sniper rifle?"
"Can you show us a long-distance sniper kill? That… the legendary absolute marksmanship?!"
As Black Widow finished speaking, several young women eagerly said to Qin Xiaozhi.
Originally, before coming, they were only interested in the legendary Jiang Wuming. After hearing Black Widow's reminder, they had also developed a strong interest in Qin Xiaozhi.
"From now on, we are comrades. You'll have plenty of opportunities to see me shoot," Qin Xiaozhi said with a smile.
"Shoot what?"
A young woman with blonde hair teased with a smile.
"???"
Qin Xiaozhi's face darkened. What kind of suggestive remarks were these?
Twenty minutes later, Qin Xiaozhi settled Black Widow and her group into their accommodations, then headed to Jiang Wuming's villa to report the arrival of Black Widow and her group to Jiang Wuming.
Besides that, he had another important matter to report to Jiang Wuming!
…
In the villa.
Jiang Wuming was not in closed-door cultivation as Qin Xiaozhi had said, but was video chatting with Li Lianyin.
Li Lianyin had already returned to the War God Pharmaceutical Research Institute and had just finished her day's work. The City of Sin was twelve hours ahead of Dragon Country, so it was evening there.
"I saw the post on the Divine Network forum about the War Dragon Hall recruiting new members."
On the video call, Li Lianyin, who had a busy day, looked slightly tired but had a rare smile on her lips.
For her, besides working tirelessly day and night to develop new qi and blood elixirs and healing medicines, her routine consisted of eating, sleeping, and video chatting with Jiang Wuming.
The latter was what made her happiest every day.
"Yes, I'm planning to expand the War Dragon Hall's scale," Jiang Wuming nodded.
"I see martial artists from all over the world are eagerly signing up."
Li Lianyin looked proud. She knew that the War Dragon Hall's influence and attractiveness largely stemmed from Jiang Wuming.
"Yes, many people want to join," Jiang Wuming said with a smile.
"Then what kind of benefits and treatment are you going to give them?" Li Lianyin asked.
"Besides financial and material benefits, we will teach them powerful martial arts techniques. For now, that's all," Jiang Wuming said.
"The new qi and blood elixirs and healing medicines are about to be successfully developed. Once the clinical trials are problem-free, the first batch produced will all be given to your War Dragon Hall. I'll deliver them to you personally!" Li Lianyin said after thinking.
"Is that appropriate?"
Jiang Wuming touched his nose with a wry smile.
He believed that with Li Lianyin's medical talent, the newly developed qi and blood elixirs would surely shock the world.
"I researched and produced the medicine, and I'm in charge of my medicine!" Li Lianyin said domineeringly.
"That's true."
Jiang Wuming smiled and nodded, then sensed Qin Xiaozhi's aura approaching and said, "Brother Zhi is coming to see me, he should have something to report. I'll pause this call and call you back later."
"You go ahead and busy yourself. I'll take a shower, read for a while, and then go to sleep. I have a particularly important experiment tomorrow morning," Li Lianyin said.
"Okay."
Jiang Wuming nodded, then ended the video call, got up, and left the study, heading to the hall on the first floor.
Qin Xiaozhi happened to push the door open, arriving at just the right time.
"Brother Zhi, have Black Widow and the others been settled?"
Jiang Wuming met Qin Xiaozhi and asked.
With his strength, he could naturally sense the arrival of Black Widow and her group at the estate.
Originally, he intended to greet them personally, but Li Lianyin called him for a video chat, and he also sensed that Black Widow and her group were heading towards the training ground, so he changed his mind.
"Yes, boss," Qin Xiaozhi nodded.
"Accompany me on another trip. I'll go and meet them," Jiang Wuming said.
"I had planned to do that, but I told Jessica earlier that you were in closed-door cultivation, and Jessica said not to disturb you. You can just show up at the welcome banquet tonight," Qin Xiaozhi said with a wry smile.
"Alright."
Jiang Wuming thought about it and felt that this was acceptable.
Tonight, the War Dragon Hall had prepared a banquet specifically to welcome the new members.
Besides Black Widow and her Widows' Brigade, there were also the uncle and nephew duo, Wu Zhengang and Xiao Wu.
As for the members outside the City of Sin who applied to join the War Dragon Hall, Qin Xiaozhi had to review them one by one, ensure they met the criteria, and had no issues before allowing the applicants to join and report.
"Boss, you probably haven't looked at the Divine Network forum these past two days, have you?" Qin Xiaozhi suddenly said again.
"No."
Jiang Wuming first shook his head, then said, "Are there any special messages on the Divine Network forum?"
"The War God Hall released extremely important information last night: when the extraterrestrial enemies descended in Europa yesterday, the descent time was significantly shortened, less than one-tenth of before!"
Qin Xiaozhi's expression was solemn.
Swish!
Jiang Wuming's expression instantly changed upon hearing this.
Since the extraterrestrial war began, extraterrestrial enemies descended through the great curtain, and the time taken was directly proportional to the strength and number of the descendents, being almost fixed.
Now, the descent time of extraterrestrial enemies had suddenly been greatly shortened, which made Jiang Wuming realize something was amiss!
Reason told him that this matter was extremely serious and could even change the direction of the extraterrestrial war!
