I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything

Chapter 398: Wool Gathering



"What? They started fighting?"

In the Commander in Chief's office.

Hao Yuntun licked the tip of his pen and continued scribbling something crooked on the paper...

The Polar Star Battlefield is the place where one can undergo the fastest transformation.

Thinking back, Hao Yuntun was once an illiterate who couldn't recognize a single word, but now, he could write reports. In his many years on the Polar Star Battlefield, his greatest pride wasn't achieving the status of an Upper Realm Grandmaster on the battlefield.

But rather the fact that he could now wield a pen, which was simply amazing, wasn't it? He really wanted to show that teacher who once scolded him for being as clueless as a gorilla his current writing skills. He could spout platitudes with ease, wasn't that neat?

And what he was writing about were the intricate details of the Kaiyang Military District's voluntary initiation of war, since war is never the matter of a single military district, and it couldn't be separated from the support of the surrounding two districts.

However, just as his war report was halfway finished, he received a report from his subordinate, Lin Tao.

"So, you guys couldn't stand Xu Lingjun, so you wanted to drag him out and teach him a lesson?"

Hao Yuntun rolled his eyes and said, "You're like eunuchs worrying about the emperor's problems. Can't you see that Xiao Cheng genuinely has a connection with Xu Lingjun? You don't understand Xiao Cheng... the man is very practical. Since he's willing to be friends with Xu Lingjun, it shows that Xu Lingjun is genuinely capable. If you want to teach him a lesson, you'll probably end up being taught by him instead, right?"

Lin Tao nodded with embarrassment.

"How many people were taken down?"

"Ninety-two."

Hao Yuntun exclaimed, "A series of battles? When did you all become so shameless?"

Lin Tao angrily said, "It's not that we wanted to bully anyone, it's mainly because he is too infuriating... fighting our people while saying he's not satisfied, what does he take us for? A functional drink to replenish his power?"

"So this kid has some impressive skills, huh? That's a good thing, since his future tasks are quite significant."

He pondered for a while and said, "But we can't lose face as Kaiyang Military District; let's do this, I'll contact Zhou Meng to stop it."

Lin Tao said bitterly, "The first person taken down was Vice Commander Zhou!"

Hao Yuntun exclaimed, "What? Old Zhou lost too?!"

"One... one move, or maybe two?"

Lin Tao said with a wry smile, "This incident also alerted Vice Commander Lei and Vice Commander Sun, they also intervened... they held on a bit more, and then lost too."

Hao Yuntun: "So the reason you called me is..."

"All the people from our Kaiyang Military District were defeated; only you, Commander in Chief, are left."

"If I step in, it would be bullying the weak, you may not care about face, but I do. Get out, get out, if I don't step in, our district still has some face left, but if I do, there'd be none left."

Hao Yuntun rolled his eyes and said, "We're all on the same side, winning or losing isn't important. If this kid is really so impressive, I'll find a way to get him to join our Kaiyang Military District... then he would be one of us, right? Losing to one of our own isn't embarrassing."

"Yes."

Lin Tao retreated in shame.

Leaving Hao Yuntun with a puzzled look, thinking, is this kid really that formidable?

If so, then he might just have to find a way to keep this talent here.

Half an hour later.

When Lin Tao came back.

"Really, Commander Hao doesn't want to step in? What a pity."

If Zhou Tong knew that Lin Tao's plea for help was actually at Xu Lingjun's request, he might have already run over with his sleeves rolled up.

Xu Lingjun sighed with regret, his gaze sweeping over the numerous soldiers he had already pounded, then closed his eyes and carefully sensed his current power.

As expected, closed-door cultivation is a crooked path.

Only fighting is the best technique to enhance combat power.

First, he pummeled a deputy commander, then went through all those warriors… their combat abilities weren't weak, six or seven out of ten were martial artists of the Huichuan Realm, Transforming Truth was considered the lowest.

Though still vastly different from him.

Couldn't resist the accumulation of numbers, after fighting dozens, particularly the latter two deputy commanders, Remington and Sun Yuanxiao, this time Xu Lingjun did not treat them as roughly as he did Zhou Meng, he was very careful in dealing with them.

Exchanging three hundred moves each, and only then, after ascertaining there was no more benefit to gain, he managed to narrowly defeat them.

This astonished the warriors, thinking they had underestimated the difference in strength among the three vice commanders...

Vice Commander Zhou, usually so arrogant, ended up unable to withstand even a single move from Vice Commander Xu, while Vice Commander Lei, who usually kept silent, and Sun Vice Commander managed to hold out for hundreds of rounds before narrowly losing.

Calculating, it seems it would only take two or three moves for the two vice commanders to defeat Vice Commander Zhou...

Thus, Zhou Meng, who previously had the greatest reputation amongst the three vice commanders, saw his standing fall in the soldiers' minds.

But no one noticed...

When the battle ended, the other two vice commanders' arms could barely be lifted. Their True Qi depleted by seventy to eighty percent, with their arm meridians blocked, swelling painfully, yet they still felt grateful towards Xu Lingjun.

After all, he could have won long before, but gave them so much face. Hmm, this young man is not only skilled but also has excellent character.

This one fight, taking on over a hundred people, was almost equivalent to Xu Lingjun personally undergoing three months of intensive training.

He had just recently borrowed True Essence from 'Tomorrow' to break through to the Third Layer of the Profound Realm not long ago, but now, feeling slightly short of some consolidation, he might break through to the Fourth Layer of the Profound Realm.

This speed of progress, Xu Lingjun couldn't be more satisfied with it.

"Is there anyone else willing to come?"

He cracked his neck and asked the warriors scattered around him.

No one answered, everyone lay weakly on the ground, not daring to get up, afraid of showing even a hint of defiance, lest this scoundrel haul them up for another round.

They weren't afraid of losing, but encountering a monster like Xu Lingjun...

Unable to defeat him is one thing, but hitting him with a punch was even more damaging than taking one from him due to the backlash.

A hedgehog you can't beat, touch, or take a hit from, how do you fight that?

Look, even Zhou Meng was playing dead on the ground.

"Alright then, seems today's session ends here, we'll train again tomorrow."

Xu Lingjun's eyes landed on Zhou Meng, and he smiled, saying, "Vice Commander Zhou, today's battle with you was tremendously beneficial for me. I feel like some bottlenecks that haven't moved for years loosened a bit. Please take a good rest, in a few days I'll come to seek more advice from you."

He was very polite.

After all, Zhou Meng was arguably the strongest among everyone present.

He alone contributed almost a quarter of today's gains, and naturally, to pluck the sheep, you pluck the biggest one...

Can't be helped, it's a pity Commander Hao Yuntun didn't join the fight; if he had, Xu Lingjun might have broken through a Realm just with him.

Losing is losing, the advancement of Realm is what's most important... never mind the face.

For now, he could only make do with Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong lay on the ground, almost crying.

Really... I admit that finding trouble with you was my idea, but I already knelt, there's no need to keep coming after me, is there?

Hoping that's just some harsh words he's spouting before leaving.

Zhou Meng could only comfort himself like that.

But then, three days later.

Zhou Meng finally got discharged from the hospital and saw Xu Lingjun already waiting at the hospital entrance.

With a bright smile on his face, he said, "Vice Commander Zhou, you're finally out of the hospital, I've been waiting for you for a long time. I have so much to learn from you in Martial Tao."

Zhou Tong: ".............."
