Chapter 696: Welcome to Battle G.o.d Palace!

It was like the gears in the machine had been knocked out, triggering a chain reaction.

Following a series of clanging noises, the fist strength tester spewed out dense spirit energy everywhere. Sparks flew out from places that should not have been smoking, while the parts that should have been crystal clear and shining dimmed down.

When a jet of black smoke started to spurt out of the fist strength tester, the machine that looked like a small steam locomotive collapsed. A few rivets and screws even fell on the ground.

With the exception of Meng Chao and Long Feijun, the Railway Gun¹, everyone else was dumbfounded.

The air in the training room had seemingly frozen into ice.

“When other people perform Divine Nine Drago Seals, they simply raised their destructive power. However, you raised your penetrative power with Divine Nine Dragon Seals.”

Long Feijun’s pupils contracted. “Not only did your power infiltrate the Super Heavy-Duty Fist Strength Tester¹, but you also utilized the vibration of spirit energy to trigger the resonance of the components inside the machine. Then, you used the resonance to find the metal components’ fatigue limit and destroyed them through extremely subtle vibration and bending!

“On the surface, you ‘merely’ delivered more than a hundred punches in one minute.

“In reality, with the help of penetration and resonance, you launched tens of thousands of attacks on the metal components in just one minute.

“If you had attacked a monster wearing a hard sh.e.l.l instead of a fist strength tester, I believe that the monster’s sh.e.l.l might have been intact, but its internal organs would have been crushed into the finest blood by you!”

After Long Feijun’s explanation, everyone finally understood the mystery behind Meng Chao’s fist.

They could not help but gasp again.

“That’s right, Senior Brother Long. I think this is the correct way to unleash Divine Nine Dragon Seals.”

Meng Chao’s tone was calm, but his words contained indisputable self-confidence. “Divine Nine Dragon Seals is indeed a very domineering instantaneous explosive technique. Master Lei has made all his cultivation methods public. Many martial arts cla.s.ses and universities in Dragon City have also established relevant professional courses.

“Nevertheless, in the entire Dragon City, there are very few superhumans who can master Divine Nine Dragon Seals to perfection. What is the reason for that?

“The difficulty of training Divine Nine Dragon Seals is naturally one of the reasons. More importantly, however, the ‘performance-to-price ratio’ of Divine Nine Dragon Seals is not high based on traditional combat concepts.

“This is due to the complicated nature of its training method. If one does not have enough spirit energy and combat experience, it will be very difficult to step past the threshold and comprehend the marvelous principles inside.

“However, spirit energy and combat experience are abundant. Superhuman individuals who reach the next level often possess extremely brutal strength. It doesn’t make much sense to increase their strength by several times, and their attack power might even overflow.

“Take you, for example, Senior Brother Long. Even if you don’t activate Divine Nine Dragon Seals, you will be able to unleash a force equivalent to the explosion of three to four hundred kilograms of standard crystal explosives. Activating Divine Nine Dragon Seals will certainly increase the destructive power to a terrifying five hundred kilograms, but there will still be a short period of charging up and cooling down.

“I believe that once a person’s strength reaches your level, increasing it by a few dozen percent won’t show any distinction. For ordinary monsters, a punch of three hundred kilograms will definitely blow their heads off. As for ferocious beasts that can’t be hammered to death by three hundred kilograms, even five hundred kilograms might not be effective.

“Instead of wasting a lot of time, energy, and resources to cultivate Divine Nine Dragon Seals, it’s better to invest the same amount of time, energy, and resources into other martial arts. For instance, the cold weapon combat technique where the bayonet becomes red, or the gun fighting technique where you can control bullets as you wish. Perhaps you can learn a few more ways to construct the spirit magnetic field so that there will be a few more deadly skills in your ‘armory.’

“This is the reason why everyone knows that Divine Nine Dragon Seals is Battle G.o.d Lei Zongchao’s ultimate skill, but they can’t make up their minds to cultivate it.

“I do think that penetrability is more important than destructive power.

“In the past, Master Lei didn’t mention it to everyone because Master Lei’s destructive power had already reached its peak. No matter how thick the enemy’s skin was or how tough their carapace was, Master Lei could still cut it open from the outside. There was no issue preventing it from being broken.

“With that said, for those of us who are currently not as destructive as Master Lei at his peak, if we slightly adjust the spirit energy circulation model of Divine Nine Dragon Seals, we will pay more attention to the ‘transmission’ of power instead of the ‘explosion’. If the power is transmitted into the enemy’s body and detonated violently like a time-delayed bomb, perhaps the cost-effectiveness ratio of Divine Nine Dragon Seals will greatly improve?”

In his memory of his previous life, Meng Chao’s words were truths regarding martial arts that had been proven through practice.

However, the current superhumans did not seem to have such a level of understanding.

Long Feijun and the people of Battle G.o.d Palace were deep in thought.

A moment later, the Red Dragon Army colonel, who was known as the Railway Gun, had a look of amazement in his eyes.

In the upper right corner of Meng Chao’s vision, a row of small golden words appeared.

[Under the Fire Relayer’s guidance, the heroic citizen, Long Feijun has comprehended a brand-new method to use Divine Nine Dragon Seals. His combat power has increased immensely. This will greatly enhance the strength of Battle G.o.d Palace, the Red Dragon Army, and even the entire Dragon City. Contribution Points + 1,015]

As expected, Long Feijun was also a heroic citizen!

The contribution points gained from instructing a heroic citizen were more than ten times that of instructing an ordinary citizen.

With just a few casual words of martial arts comprehension, the contribution points gained had broken through the one-thousand mark. It was much more cost-effective than going into the depths of the wilderness and capturing the Demonic Halberd Pig and Iron-Armored Rhinoceros.

Wait, it was not over yet!

[Under the Fire Relayer’s guidance, the heroic citizen, Zhuang Dayong has comprehended a brand-new method to use Divine Nine Dragon Seals…]

[Under the Fire Relayer’s guidance, the heroic citizen, Xie Changqing has comprehended a brand-new method to use Divine Nine Dragon Seals…]

A series of small golden words and the crisp sound of crystal coins clashing against each other burst out in Meng Chao’s mind.

He remained calm and collected as he smiled and sucked back the snot bubbles that were about to spurt out of his nose.

He never expected that almost one-third of the twenty to thirty people in Battle G.o.d Palace were legendary heroic citizens.

It was so great to be able to guide so many heroic citizens in one go!

It made sense when they thought about it. Every one of them had followed Lei Zongchao for many years. Even though they had not grasped the Battle G.o.d’s full power yet, they had all developed a heroic spirit of righteousness.

They were all brave men, and if necessary, they would willingly charge into the beast tide with bayonets in their hands.

If such brave men were not considered “heroic citizens”, who else could be considered as such?

After saving Dragon City, restoring order, and rebuilding the civilization, Lei Zongchao had retired from the scene and quietly nurtured so many heroic citizens. What kind of “citizen” was he?

For a moment, Lei Zongchao’s image took a lofty place in Meng Chao’s mind.

“As for how to convert the ‘destructive force’ into ‘penetrative force’, I’ve figured out some simple tricks. Senior Brother Long, Senior Brothers, shall we study it together?” Meng Chao said with a smile.

Long Feijun and the other members of Battle G.o.d Palace exchanged looks, and they saw the astonishment, as well as shock, in each other’s eyes.

When they looked at Meng Chao again, their eyes were completely different from before.

“Welcome to Battle G.o.d Palace.”

Long Feijun Strode forward and gave Meng Chao a fierce bear hug. He laughed and said, “I have a feeling that Uncle Lei will be proud of you one day.”

“Not me. Us.”

Meng Chao grimaced and said, “I believe that the Battle G.o.d, Lei Zongchao will be extremely proud of all of us one day!”

..

From that day on, Meng Chao had pretty much settled down in Battle G.o.d Palace.

Needless to say, it was hard work.

It was impossible for Battle G.o.d Lei Zongchao to let him enjoy the enlightening treatment every day. Otherwise, the probability of the old man’s death would increase to 100% in less than three days, leading to the death of a hero a few years earlier than in his previous life.

Most of the time, Lei Zongchao would talk about a series of abstruse and complicated theories or surging spirit energy. In the void, he would sketch out models of spirit energy and magnetic fields that were as delicate as dozens of cobwebs. That allowed Meng Chao to comprehend them with his heart.

If not that, like “Black Tortoise” Zong Yue, he would surge his brainwaves to the limit and implant spirit brands in Meng Chao’s brain, allowing Meng Chao to constantly engage in virtual battles during meditation.

However, “Black Tortoise” Zong Yue had implanted the image of an Apocalyptic Beast—a Black Tortoise Behemoth—into Meng Chao’s brain. In contrast, Lei Zongchao had implanted his own image.

To be honest, Meng Chao would rather face the ravages of ten Black Tortoise Behemoths at the same time than fight the Battle G.o.d, even if it was a virtual Battle G.o.d.

Although the former was tough and fierce, it was still huge. Hence, its movement speed was quite slow. Before Meng Chao was trampled to death by it, he could always strike back a few times. Whether or not it could break through the defense was another matter. At the very least, it would give Meng Chao a sense of partic.i.p.ation, right?

The latter, on the other hand, made Meng Chao realize the exaggerated gap between Heaven Realm and Deity Realm. It also made him realize what it was like to become a sandbag in deep meditation and be hung up as well as beaten repeatedly.

In any case, Meng Chao had fought with the image of Battle G.o.d Lei Zongchao plenty of times while he was in meditation. Except for the fact that each time he lasted longer than the last and he could withstand increasingly severe beatings, he could not believe that he never delivered an effective hit.

In addition to repeatedly tempering Meng Chao’s spirit, Lei Zongchao was certainly not letting go of Meng Chao’s body.

The “five-star intensive training program” that he had customized for Meng Chao turned all the training programs that Meng Chao had implemented in university into child’s play. Even a military man like Long Feijun, the Railway Gun, noticed it. He had to take a deep breath.

What of five times the gravity, zero oxygen, three hundred kilograms, ten kilometers, and five hundred punches… That was just an appetizer before breakfast!
