Chapter 58: Raging Sword Qi

Chapter 58: Raging Sword Qi

The Martial Arts Department (MAD) of Lingzhou City .

Duan Tianhe only finished his work at two in the afternoon . Circulating his True Qi, he dispelled some fatigue off his body . He had neither rested nor slept for over ten days now .

After taking a moment to call for food delivery, he called his superior whist waiting and briefed him about the situation .

Carefree laughter echoed from the other end . “Didn’t you mention that there aren’t any suitable candidates for Director of Lingzhou City’s Martial Arts Academy (MAA)? I think Jiang He fits the bill . He’s young, competent, and driven to improve . Moreover, he has been to university, whereas us martial artists are ever uncivilized . You could have him try . ”

All fatigue promptly left Duan Tianhe’s body as he straightened up . “That’s not really acceptable… Jiang He… he… he’s too young!”

What nonsense was that?

Let Jiang He become a MAA director?

Once he remembered what Jiang He had been doing recently…

Duan Tianhe was afraid that he would spirit away the entire academy somewhere unknown when he wasn’t looking .

Although he did manage to come up with a suitable reason after stuttering for a while, a bellow echoed from the other end, “Duan Tianhe—”

Beep!

The call was cut off . Duan Tianhe, however, felt very relieved . That was fine .

Thud, thud, thud .

There was a knock on his door, and Bai Feifei entered with a dark look on her face .

“There has been a complication in the mission, Chief Duan,” she said .

“What’s up?” asked Duan Tianhe, frowning . “I’ve already sent some men to keep an eye on those three moles from the Sky Demon Cult . They are just one Awakened with D-class superstrength, one C-class water-type Awakened, and a rank-five novice martial artist . With Pudgy Jiang’s men helping us, how can there be complications?”

Bai Feifei showed him a pained smile . “The D-class superstrength was executed on the spot, whereas the rank-five novice martial artist took his own wife and child hostage, and leapt into the Yellow River with the water-type Awakened near Yellow River Park . ”

“Only the animals of the Sky Demon Cult could do something like taking their own family hostage!” growled Duan Tianhe, his eyes flashing . “Spread the word and start a widespread search . Those two animals must be found . You know how savage the Sky Demon cultists are . When they come back to infiltrate Linzhou City again, they could cause major trouble . ”

His orders were hence relayed .

“Oh, right . Where is Cheng Dongfeng?” asked Duan Tianhe .

“Master Cheng locked himself in the cultivation chamber since ten o’clock yesterday . He said that he is not coming out until he reaches rank-seven,” replied Bai Feifei .

Duan Tianhe laughed himself silly .

That old thing went into seclusion? Could he be afraid that Jiang He would nag at him, asking for another spar?

Still, this was a good thing . Cheng Dongfeng was one of their strongest and most talented rank-sixes, Lingzhou City would have a great addition to their strength if he could make a breakthrough .

Nonetheless, Duan Tianhe started to rub his temples, feeling bothered again .

“Old Cheng is a disciple of the Eight Trigrams School, even if he did join the MAD . He would probably be recalled to headquarters if he really ascended, so I have to come up with something to keep him here . ”

There were many concerns that surfaced with the establishment of the MAD, especially with the recent citizen migration projects implemented for citizens living deep in the mountains . It was in its last phase now, and the police, MAD, as well as the military had to work together .

In line with the higher-ups’ planning, every population must be centralized within thirty kilometers of all major cities . They could neither manage nor protect them if the population was exceedingly sparse, not to mention that there was a chance for some of the remote cities to be abandoned where possible .

In addition, the government had called for a press conference on the eighth of September to announce the Revival of Qi!

On that day, the monumental news was spread all over the globe .

“It has been confirmed that the island nation attacked by a monster from the ocean has completely fallen, and is now a playground for Ferals . ”

Soon, more news began to spread .

Likewise, the Hua Nation’s vast territory, abundant resources, and many untouched forests, lakes, and rivers led to the birth of many ferocious Ferals . Thus, incidents of Feral attacks on populated areas were on the rise .

To calm the public, a video was released on the afternoon of the ninth of September . The footage was captured at Jinghong City, which was close to the tropical ravine of the Yun Province . The city itself was in ruins, atop of which countless Ferals prowled .

One of them was an ape that stood over forty meters tall and was the size of a hill . Its fur was pitch-black, and its bellow left the world quaking in its wake . It was also using a tower as its weapon to devastating effect .

Nonetheless, a single figure stood before the ape .

The man was wearing a Chinese tunic suit . With a point of his finger, Sword Qi raged over heaven and earth before a single blade, over a thousand-meters in length, descended and promptly sliced through the black ape .

The video ended there . It was then followed by various articles about martial artists and superhumans .

Back at Jinyintan Village, Jiang He was left a little shocked in his own yard . He pocketed his phone, his mind filled with images of one blade…

So cool .

So powerful .

Eating a walnut whole with its shell and slightly improving his spirit, Jiang He looked inside himself at the luminous sword in his head…

“I don’t have to envy him . It’s not like I don’t have swords . After confining myself in my own house to earn farm points, I finally achieved my second and third mini objectives . ”

His Blind Princess’ Eight Practices was now at Second Practice, and he had mastered six out of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms .

Two mini objectives left: Grow an impressive blade for fighting, as well as a cool and powerful swordplay manual!

He then took a look at his phone to check the time…

“What the heck? I have transmigrated for two weeks, haven’t I? Why hasn’t the gift pack for the second week been awarded yet?”

But even as Jiang He complained…

“Ding!”

A System Notification jingled in his head .
