Chapter 506: Chapter 372: Special Commander-in-Chief Candidate, Comprehending the Source, Thunder God Questions His Life!

Qian Xuemin took the list from the table and left the office. Shortly after, the internal phone on the desk rang.

"Chief!"

On the other end was Hong Lie’s voice, sounding urgent.

"Speak."

Immediately, Hong Lie reported the situation, Yue Jun’s eyes narrowed slightly, "Alright, I got it."

"Proceed with the first plan for treatment... Have the hospital do everything they can to save him."

After hanging up the phone, a hint of fatigue and desolation appeared on Yue Jun’s face.

"The Martial Saint Tower brimming with Soul Power?"

Indeed, every Martial Saint Tower contains a mighty force, enough for a person to break through to Martial Saint, but the mighty force each tower contains is different, so the conditions to gain recognition from the Martial Saint Tower also vary.

For example, the Qingfeng Martial Saint of South China, the Martial Saint Tower contains the supreme Wind Rule. To gain recognition from this tower, at least one must be a Martial Artist who has comprehended the Wind Rule.

"If it were any other Martial Saint, it would be easier..."

"But it’s precisely because it’s brimming with Soul Power."

Currently, Huaxia has seven contemporary Martial Saints, and the Martial Saint Tower containing Soul Power is located in the Northwest Desert.

The Martial Saint in charge is...

Overlord Blade Martial Saint.

After the battle at Celestial Cloud Mountain, a grudge developed between Su Mu and the Overlord Blade Martial Saint. Inviting the Overlord Blade Martial Saint to take action again would certainly come at a high cost.

Also, to invite a Martial Saint to take action, it is impossible to bypass the Military Department; permission from the department is needed. Right now, with Su Mu’s life or death uncertain, the Military Department may not go to such lengths for Su Mu’s family.

"The best solution now is only one."

"Su Mu returns from the Giant Beast Cave, then achieves a good result in the Military Competition, thus earning a chance to comprehend a Martial Saint Tower. Additionally, I will put aside my pride to exchange with the Military Department for the Overlord Blade Martial Saint to take action."

"But by doing so, Su Mu must give up the opportunity to comprehend the Martial Saint Tower..."

"Will he really choose to give it up?"

The opportunity to comprehend the Martial Saint Tower, even in Yue Jun’s life, was available only a few times. On the surface, it’s a comprehension opportunity, but it’s actually a qualification test to see if one can resonate with the Martial Saint Tower. This relates to whether one can become a future Martial Saint candidate.

The opportunity to reach the Pinnacle of Martial Arts is right in front of him. Will Su Mu really choose to use it to save his family?

Faced with this choice, Yue Jun believes that most people in the world would instantly choose the former.

In the High Martial World.

Martial Arts reign supreme, and fists are everything.

Yue Jun tried to put himself in such a situation and immediately fell into a contradiction. He hoped Su Mu would seize this opportunity because he is the hope of the Southern War Zone.

However...

If this hope is a person who abandons family to pursue the Pinnacle of Martial Arts, is this really the hope he and even the war zone, the Military Department have awaited for so many years?

A moment later, Yue Jun shook his head.

"The list for the Military Competition has already been submitted; Su Mu has already lost the qualification to participate in the competition. Even if Su Mu returns now..."

"He can only take the second path to participate... which is as a Special Commander Candidate."

The Special Commander Candidate is not used for the Military Competition; as the name suggests, it is used to select and train successors for war zone commanders.

Once someone triggers this special path,

Each war zone will select an examiner, and this examiner will be selected from the headquarters of the Five Major War Zones. Only by defeating more than half of the five examiners from the Five Major War Zones, namely at least three examiners, can one be considered qualified.

After completing this stage, one must go to the Military Department for the final assessment. Only after passing can one become a commander of the Five Major War Zones, or even the Military Department.

However, the competition does not require the latter half of the assessment; only passing the initial assessment by three examiners from the war zone is necessary.

"Even if Su Mu has already stepped into the Path of the Grandmaster in the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool... this is definitely not something a Martial Artist who has just entered the realm of the Martial Arts Grandmaster can accomplish."

Yue Jun’s eyes showed solemness, because once the Commander Candidate is triggered, it’s the selection of future war zone commanders, even their Southern War Zone won’t hold back.

The Military Department values martial prowess, and the examiners sent by each war zone will at least be of the Five-Star level. Their strength will have a title, and they will not be newly titled; they will be strong individuals who have held the title for decades.

The cultivation time for these people often far exceeds Su Mu’s age!

Moreover, because it concerns the reputation of each war zone, this path is like challenging, and it challenges the sites of all five war zones at once, even sending out the strongest person in the war zone is possible.

Because this path is not a normal route for commander promotion in the Military Department, to be special, one must achieve what ordinary people cannot, possess absolute strength to break the norm, thus suppressing any voices of dissent!

However...

"In the thousand years since the Huaxia Military Department was established... only that one person has accomplished it."

"The Human Great Sage."

Yue Jun’s eyes showed deep respect, for if the Human Great Sage had not demonstrated the strength of the strongest, how could he have convinced a group of strong individuals? Many Martial Saints were born among them initially!

A moment later, only a long sigh was left in the office.

...

"Power of Origin Rules... Perhaps I have already grasped one."

Su Mu silently meditated, his deep-set eyes flashing with silver radiance, instantly entering the Crystal Transformation state, staring intently at the mass of purple Thunder Power in the Thunder God’s hand.

Previously, even in the Martial God State, Su Mu had no spare strength to slack off, just because the Thunder God was too strong.

Even a momentary distraction was enough to let Su Mu’s soul scatter.

But at this moment, as both parties had reached three agreements, Su Mu had the spare strength to carefully observe the Thunder God’s Power of Thunder.

Upon observing, a huge wave surged in Su Mu’s heart.

He quickly discovered.

The difference between the two Thunders is...

The first Thunder, when cast, relies more on borrowing the Power of Heaven and Earth, meaning it requires Spiritual Power and Power of Rules to drive the free Thunder power between heaven and earth.

The second one seems the same at first glance, but now in a calmer observation, it can be seen that the Thunder flowing within it comes more from the Thunder God himself.

Although when the second Thunder is activated, the Thunder between heaven and earth surges from all directions, seemingly relying more on the Power of Heaven and Earth than the first Thunder.

But in reality, this is just an illusion, only because the rules contained in this second Thunder are far stronger than the first, so there’s no need to deliberately drive it, and the Thunder elements between heaven and earth will spontaneously surge forth.

"The core of this second Thunder is not the Thunder elements between heaven and earth... but stems from within you, Thunder God senior?" Su Mu murmured.

Upon hearing this, the Thunder God’s eyes burst with essence and disbelief. Initially, his intention was to casually fool Su Mu, if after five times it still wasn’t grasped, he would just make up an excuse that Su Mu’s comprehension is too poor.

How could he have imagined that this enigmatic kid would just glance at it and see through the essence!

Thinking of this, the Thunder God was shocked. He recalled his own experience of comprehending the Power of Origin. Even with the racial memory legacy, it took him twenty-five years to initially understand the origin.

He then spent several more years to truly get into the Power of Origin Rules. Even so, succeeding in less than thirty years was already considered outstanding in the Thunder God’s inherited memory. At the time, the Thunder God was very proud.

Considering that with the great changes in heaven and earth, it is now the era of Martial Arts waning, such an environment makes comprehending the Power of Origin far more difficult than before.

Now comparing, the Thunder God almost spat blood, and his proud talent was fiercely trampled by Su Mu.

"You, how did you figure it out?"

Thunder God shouted in disbelief and fell into self-doubt, questioning if he was just a failure.

Seeing this scene, Su Mu was overjoyed, now it seemed he hadn’t made a mistake in his observation.

"Rule of Force... is indeed the Power of Origin, no wonder it’s so hard to improve!"

"And the Golden Egg formed by the condensation of the Rule of Force, could it be the prototype of the Origin World spoken by the Thunder God... the key to advancing to True Saint Realm?"

Thinking this in his heart, Su Mu feigned innocence and spoke.

"Thunder God senior, it was just a lucky guess on my part."

"You brat, don’t call me senior, the Power of Origin being seen through at a glance by you, and you’re calling it luck?" Regaining his senses, the Thunder God’s big dragon eyes showed shock and anger, "As expected, humans are deceitful."

"Thunder God..." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

As Su Mu was about to continue asking more, the Thunder God took the initiative to challenge this time.

"Enough said, today’s theoretical guidance ends here, you enigmatic brat..."

"You brat are called Su Mu, right? Come, today I will properly guide you on the practical use of the Power of Origin."

Instantly.

The thunder roared between heaven and earth, and the Thunder God displayed a fierce expression.
