Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

125. Chapter 125 It Really Is A Big Deal!

Chapter 125: Truly a Grand Gesture!

The next day.

Early morning.

In a secluded courtyard at the easternmost part of the Military Affairs Department, a group of about ten warriors at the Iron Gold Body Realm and Iron Bone Realm Peak had gathered.

Two groups of people.

One group was dressed in military uniforms and came from the Military Affairs Department.

The other group was dressed in the attire of the Jade Honor Martial Hall, consisting of Hong Yuxun's personal disciples.

When Liu Zimo walked out of the inner room with his two disciples, seven military officers and six disciples from the Jade Honor Martial Hall either stood up and saluted or bowed with their fists, all greeting Liu Zimo.

"Greetings, Advisor Liu!"

"Greetings, Saint Liu!"

Indeed, all the disciples of the Jade Honor Martial Hall now referred to Liu Zimo as Saint Liu.

Clearly, this was a special instruction from Hong Yuxun.

Ever since learning that Liu Zimo was a cultivator at the Spirit Abyss Realm, Hong Yuxun had already recognized Liu Zimo's identity as a Saint-level powerhouse.

Even when he himself looked at Liu Zimo, he couldn't help but salute, and when speaking, he was even more polite.

Under these circumstances, he naturally wouldn't allow his disciples to casually address Liu Zimo as "Mr. Liu" or "Brother Liu" anymore.

In the world of martial arts, the strong were respected.

Regardless of whether Liu Zimo was younger than him or his disciples, as long as someone was stronger than you, you had to show enough respect to demonstrate your reverence.

"Good morning, everyone!"

Liu Zimo didn't mind the change in how these people addressed him and casually nodded and greeted them.

Then, his gaze swept over each of their heads.

Among the thirteen people, besides Zhao Jiajun, Sun Xincheng, Li Yan, and Qian Shunli from the Jade Honor Martial Hall, all the others were unfamiliar faces.

More importantly, among these nine new faces, one person had a purple lock shadow above their head, four people had a red lock shadow, and the remaining four all had golden lock shadows.

And the five people with purple and red locks were all military soldiers recommended by the Military Affairs Department!

That's right!

General Wu didn't disappoint him. Early in the morning, he sent him five "good brothers" who could be bound.

These people should be the true geniuses of the military, right?

Liu Zimo's gaze focused on the seven soldiers in military uniforms who were full of spirit.

Three at the Golden Body Realm and four at the Iron Bone Realm Peak, their cultivation levels were quite good.

At least in the military, being able to reach such cultivation levels within three months after the catastrophe was already considered outstanding!

Without much hesitation, Liu Zimo's mind moved, instantly binding all five people with purple and red locks!

[Binding successful! Your good brother Du Xuebing is now online, current number of bindable objects (77/100)]

[Binding successful! Your good brother Chen Dapeng is now online, current number of bindable objects (78/100)]

[...]

[Binding successful! Your good brother Wu Ze is now online, current number of bindable objects (81/100)]

Very well, Liu Zimo nodded in satisfaction and said softly to the thirteen people present:

"Now listen to my command. Those who have reached the Golden Body Realm stand on the left, and those who have reached the Iron Bone Realm Peak stand on the right."

Swish!

The originally distinct two groups of people quickly dispersed and began to stand in two rows, divided by their respective strengths.

Seven at the Golden Body Realm, six at the Iron Bone Realm Peak.

Because they were going on an adventure in the wilderness, whether it was Wu Songyang or Hong Yuxun, the people they selected all had at least reached the Iron Bone Realm Peak in cultivation.

Otherwise, if they went to the Eastern Sea with Liu Zimo, it wouldn't be an adventure, but rather a burden.

"I have six Spirit Pills here, each of you take one and swallow it!"

Facing the six Iron Bone Realm Peak warriors, Liu Zimo casually threw out six [Boundary Breaking Pills], which floated in front of each of them.

These were refined by him last night using the pill recipe given by his cousin Zhao Hongzhang, along with three mutated Spirit Reishi and some spiritual herbs obtained from the military's arsenal.

Although he wasn't a professional alchemist and didn't study pill recipes and spiritual herbs like his younger brother did every day, as a cultivator at the Spirit Abyss Realm, Liu Zimo found it easy to replicate his cousin Zhao Hongzhang's technique and rhythm when he refined the [Boundary Breaking Pills] back then.

Three strains of "mutated Lingzhi mushrooms," under his hands, a total of fifty-four top-quality "Boundary Breaking Pills" were refined.

The quantity and quality of the pills were no different from what Zhao Hongzhang had refined in the villa in Luozhou that day.

Round and full, crystal clear, with red pill patterns!

"Yes!"

The four soldiers of the Military Participation Department responded loudly, took the elixirs, and directly swallowed them without hesitation.

The other two disciples of the Yuxun Martial Hall hesitated after receiving the elixirs.

They glanced at the blood-red pills in their hands and occasionally looked up at the senior brother of the other team, Zhao Jiajun, as if seeking his opinion.

Seeing this, Liu Zimo couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

He deliberately didn't mention the effects of these six "Boundary Breaking Pills" just now, wanting to test the character of these people and see if they could fully trust him as the temporary leader.

Now it seems that the soldiers of the Military Participation Department are well-trained and have no problems.

But these two disciples of the Yuxun Martial Hall are somewhat disappointing!

If they were Martial Artists in the Golden Body Realm, it would be understandable to hesitate and question the leader's decision. At least they could protect themselves in the wilderness.

But you, a Martial Artist in the Iron Bone Realm, dare to be so disobedient and casually question the leader's decision. If you really go out, aren't you looking for death?

Swish!

Liu Zimo waved his hand and took back the "Boundary Breaking Pills" from the two of them, saying in a low voice, "Since you two don't trust me, then you don't need to take these two elixirs."

"Furthermore, in my team, I don't need Martial Artists who don't obey orders. You two can leave now!"

"I will personally explain to Senior Hong later!"

The two disciples of the Yuxun Martial Hall turned pale when they heard this.

They didn't expect that their subconscious actions just now would cost them their spots in the team.

Their master had repeatedly instructed them before they came.

He said that this adventure outside the city was a great opportunity and fortune that he had fought hard to obtain for them.

He repeatedly reminded them not to miss this opportunity and to establish a good relationship with Liu Zimo and his disciples.

But now...

If they were to return in such a dejected manner, wouldn't their master give them a slap?

"Senior Brother!"

"Senior Brother!"

The two of them turned their heads at the same time and looked at Zhao Jiajun, hoping that their senior brother could speak up for them.

Zhao Jiajun, who was reluctant, was about to step forward and speak, but was directly stopped by Sun Xinwan beside him.

"Senior Brother, they brought this upon themselves, no one else to blame!"

Sun Xinwan secretly transmitted his voice to Zhao Jiajun and advised, "Before we came, our master repeatedly instructed us that we should be extremely respectful in front of Liu Sheng. Joining Liu Sheng's adventure team means that we should respect Liu Sheng in everything!"

"If Senior Brother now stands up and pleads for these two idiots out of momentary softness, it will definitely anger Liu Sheng, and Senior Brother may not be able to stay either!"

"Moreover, Senior Brother, haven't you noticed that the four guards who swallowed the elixirs given by Liu Sheng just now have already changed a bit?"

After Sun Xinwan reminded him, Zhao Jiajun's gaze involuntarily turned to the four soldiers.

In just a few seconds, the four soldiers who had swallowed the elixirs were involuntarily emitting layers of golden light from their bodies, from the inside out!

And as time passed, this layer of golden light became more and more intense, brighter and dazzling.

Finally, when the golden light was as bright as the sun, completely enveloping the bodies of the four people, and lifting them up from the ground, slowly floating upwards.

Zhao Jiajun, Sun Xinwan, and the other Golden Body Realm experts all involuntarily opened their mouths.

"This is...this is..."

"I'm not mistaken, are they breaking through to the Golden Body Realm?!!"

Like the sun, radiating golden light, forming their own domain!

What else could this be if not a breakthrough to the Golden Body Realm?

As people who had gone through this themselves, Zhao Jiajun and Sun Xinwan knew exactly what these four soldiers were experiencing!

However, they never expected that these four peak Iron Bone Realm soldiers, after taking an unknown elixir given by Liu Sheng, would suddenly and simultaneously start breaking through and advancing!

Is it really so fantastical?!

Is it really so amazing?!

These people, when they broke through to the Golden Body stage, each of them experienced countless hardships, each of them spent several years, or even more than ten years, honing their skills at the peak of the Iron Bone stage before finally breaking through with the help of the baptism of spiritual power.

But these four people in front of us, almost all of them only broke through to the Iron Bone stage after the outbreak of the demonic calamity.

Under normal circumstances, if they wanted to break through to the Golden Body stage, even in today's highly concentrated spiritual power, they would still need to accumulate for at least three to five years before it would be possible!

Why is it that now, with just a small spiritual pill, Liu Sheng has allowed them to directly skip several years of arduous cultivation and directly break through to the Golden Body stage?!

What kind of pill is this? Its effect is too amazing!

Slap! Slap!

The two disciples of the Jade Xun Martial Hall who were just eliminated by Liu Zimo couldn't help but raise their hands and slap themselves in the face with regret.

They looked up at the four military participants who were already suspended in mid-air, shining like the sun, and a wave of unprecedented regret and unwillingness surged in their hearts.

Just now, they were given an opportunity to directly break through to the Golden Body stage, but they didn't know how to cherish it.

Now... even if they regret it, it's too damn late!

If they hadn't hesitated just now, and had swallowed the spiritual pill like the other four, maybe there would be six people flying in mid-air breaking through to the Golden Body stage now!

It was their own failure to seize the opportunity and wasted a great chance to directly break through to the Golden Body stage!

Slap! Slap!

Regret to the extreme, the two of them couldn't help but slap themselves again, their faces swollen.

But at this moment, no one paid attention to them anymore.

Everyone's gaze was already attracted by the four "suns" floating in mid-air at the same time.

Not only in this camp courtyard, but also in the entire military participation department, thousands of stationed soldiers were also attracted by the sudden appearance of the scene, looking up and watching.

This was not the first time they had seen someone breaking through to the Golden Body stage in public. They were already very familiar with this special scene of the sun shining in the sky and illuminating all directions.

However.

Like the scene in front of them, where four warriors were breaking through to the Golden Body stage at the same time, in the same day, and at the same time, they had never encountered it before!

When someone recognized that the four people breaking through were all members of the military participation department, the entire military participation camp erupted in cheers.

Four strong warriors in the Golden Body stage were born in the military participation department again. For all the soldiers in the camp, this was a sensational piece of news.

This meant that the high-end combat power in their camp had been greatly improved and strengthened, and it meant that the safety of all of them had gained a stronger guarantee!

As the end times progress, the ammunition in the major arsenals continues to be depleted.

Whether in the capital city or any other human city, the firearms in the hands of all soldiers are becoming increasingly ineffective and gradually being replaced by burning sticks.

In every camp, the sense of security among all officers and soldiers gradually shifts to their own strength and the abundance of high-end combat power in the camp.

And in this era, a Golden Body Realm warrior can be considered a top combat force in any city.

The Military Affairs Department has now added four Golden Body Realm warriors. How could the soldiers in the camp and the officers in the office not be happy?

At this moment, in the General Affairs Office.

Wu Songyang, who was also attracted by the aerial anomaly, stood at the window and looked into the distance.

When he recognized the person emitting golden light in the air, who was breaking through the realm and floating in mid-air, he realized it was one of the internal guards he had sent out to follow Liu Zimo on his adventure outside the city early in the morning.

Wu Songyang couldn't help but show a look of surprise and astonishment.

"What's going on?!"

"If I remember correctly, Chen Dapeng and Wu Ze, didn't they just break through to the peak of the Iron Bone Realm a week ago?"

"Why are they about to break through again so quickly?"

Wu Songyang muttered to himself.

Isn't it said that the Golden Body Realm is the first hurdle for all warriors to transcend? Many people even spend their whole lives stuck at this step, finding it difficult to make any progress.

Why are Chen Dapeng and Wu Ze starting to break through to the Golden Body Realm within a week of successfully reaching the peak of the Iron Bone Realm?

Could it be that all four of them are the kind of unparalleled geniuses that are one in a million?

"No, that's not possible!"

"If they were all unparalleled geniuses, how could they have just barely broken through to the peak of the Iron Bone Realm a week ago?"

Wu Songyang directly shook his head and denied it. He knew his soldiers very well.

Although these four individuals do have some talent, compared to true geniuses like Du Xuebing and Zhang Yawei, who had already broken through to the Golden Body Realm early on, they are not even close.

"Could this be the work of Advisor Liu?!"

Wu Songyang instantly had a guess in his mind.

Yesterday, when Liu Zimo proposed to take people on an adventure outside the city, he mentioned that the trip to the East Sea was a rare opportunity, and that everyone who went would greatly enhance their strength, even having the chance to directly break through and advance in their realm!

Furthermore, he specifically reminded him and Hong Lao to select some truly trustworthy Tianjiao warriors to accompany them, and assured them that they would not be disappointed.

Now it seems that this should be the first surprise Liu Zimo gave them, right?

Indeed, it is quite a grand gesture!

They haven't even left the city yet, and they have already been given four powerful warriors at the Golden Body Realm!

However, why did only the four guards from the Military Participation Department successfully break through to the Golden Body Realm, and why did the two peak Iron Bone Realm warriors from the Yu Xun Martial Hall not have any reaction?

"Xiao Wang, go personally to Liu Guwen's place to find out what happened over there?"

"Especially Chen Dapeng and Wu Ze, you must investigate the real reason why they were able to break through and advance at the same time."

"Yes."

Wang Shengli responded and quickly left.

As a peak Iron Bone Realm warrior himself, Wang Shengli was also very interested in the reason why Chen Dapeng and Wu Ze were able to break through to the Golden Body Realm at the same time.

If it weren't for the protection of the General Participation, he would have already been eager to go and find out what happened.

A moment later.

When Wang Shengli rushed to the small courtyard on the east side, he happened to see the Martial Arts Chief Advisor Hong Yuxun also flying over.

Obviously, the phenomenon of the four people breaking through to the Golden Body Realm at the same time in the sky also caught the attention of this martial arts master.

"Master!"

The two peak Iron Bone Realm disciples sent by the Yuxun Martial Hall earlier saw their master coming and immediately knelt down in front of Hong Yuxun with swollen faces, crying and begging for forgiveness.

After hearing the cause and effect of the matter, Hong Yuxun couldn't help but widen his eyes in anger.

Instead of speaking up for the two disciples in front of Liu Zimo, he kicked them both out of the gate of the Military Participation Department.

Wang Shengli stood aside and also understood the general situation. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It's really something!

To even doubt Liu Guwen's character, isn't that asking for trouble?

A good opportunity to break through to the Golden Body Realm was actually ruined by these two idiots, and they even offended Liu Guwen because of it. It's no wonder Hong Lao is so angry.

"However, what kind of pill is the elixir that Liu Guwen gave to Wu Ze and the others?"

Wang Shengli quickly shifted his attention back to the elixirs that Liu Zimo had given them before, and his mind was filled with thoughts.

"Can that elixir really allow any peak Iron Bone Realm warrior, regardless of their talent or comprehension, to successfully break through?"

"If that's the case, I wonder if I have a chance..."

As a peak Iron Bone Realm warrior himself, Wang Shengli naturally knew how difficult it was to break through to the Golden Body Realm.

In any case, with his current martial talent, let alone ten years, even twenty or thirty years, he might not be able to break through the bottleneck and enter the Golden Body Realm.

There was no doubt that he was the kind of ordinary warrior who was likely to be stuck at the peak of the Iron Bone Realm for the rest of his life!

Previously, being able to break through to the peak of the Iron Bone Realm with the help of an Innate treasure pill was already a stroke of luck.

As for breaking through to the Golden Body Realm, he could only dream about it.

He knew very well that compared to those true martial arts prodigies, he was not even close. Otherwise, when selecting the list for this trip to the East Sea, General Wu would not have simply overlooked him.

Because reaching the peak of the Iron Bone Realm was already his limit, and advancing further was as difficult as reaching the sky.

Therefore, Wang Shengli, who had a clear understanding of himself, had no complaints.

Giving the best resources to the most talented warriors was the basic rule in the military camp.

If he couldn't do it, then someone else would take his place. There was no reason to complain!

But now, the miraculous elixir that Liu Zimo suddenly brought out gave Wang Shengli a glimmer of hope.

"This is the 'Breakthrough Pill'!"

Liu Zimo's voice rang out leisurely.

He held the pill emitting a red light in the palm of his hand and glanced at Hong Yuxun, Wang Shengli, and other peak Iron Bone Realm soldiers who had arrived one after another. He loudly proclaimed:

"It can allow any peak Iron Bone Realm warrior to directly break through the bottleneck and advance to the Golden Body Realm!"

"There are no additional conditions, no adverse reactions or toxic side effects, and it will not deplete potential or foundation, nor will it affect future normal cultivation!"

"The specific pill formula and some finished pills have been sent to the military treasury for evaluation and identification."

"All warriors who have reached the peak of the Iron Bone Realm can go to the military treasury later to exchange for them!"

As Liu Zimo's voice fell, the surrounding soldiers who were watching instantly erupted in excitement and rushed towards the military treasury.
