Cutting down Guanyin! Sakra raised his purple-vermillion, slender, swordlike eyebrows.
As a head of department from the Sacred Martial Hall, the news and information that he had access to far exceed normal masters. Especially regarding the news of those qualified to compete for the title of a divine beast.
Guanyin: someone second only to Tagatha and Jade Emperor in the Elysium. His identity is shrouded in mystery like the Emperor of Inferno. None had seen him, let alone know his real identity. However, none of them doubted his martial dao strength.
Earlier in Jupiter, Guanyin was already a fearsome name. If it wasn't for the sudden rise of Azure Dragon, Guanyin's name would even be more fearsome on Jupiter.
Xue Tian could clash with Guanyin and live to tell the tale. Ferrero had to look at him attentively to estimate the improvements the kid went through.
"Let's go, let's go! The car is ready for the two masters." Xue Tian quickly walked in front of the heads from the Sacred Martial Hall, not giving them any chance to test him.
Ferrero smiled faintly at Xue Tian's craftiness. Since the kid doesn't want others to know his strength, then there was no need to try to find out more about his strength.
Sakra did not forcibly test Xue Tian again. There will always be people in the world hiding their strengths for good reason. Xue Tian is obviously not a fool, and he must have his own reasons for hiding his strength. It wasn't a simple case of trying to look cool by hiding his strength.
At base, several metallurgy researchers were so excited it was almost as if they were getting married today; rushing happily and surrounding the popular, young martial artist in the Saturn military base.
"Major General Xue Tian, there is good news."
Major General? Qin Fen thought of Xue Tian's pin and smiled. Since the last battle in the stadium, the strength of Saturn's military's younger generation had exploded, shaking the entire Federation, and the military headquarters was inevitably subjected to a huge impact.
Whether in accordance with the provisions of the military or the petition of the people, this group of young men who shone brightly at the Flying Hearts concert was presented to the eyes of the entire Federation.
Raising ranks was something that couldn't just be decided by the military. They had to do it.
The rank of major general was the lowest rank given to the group of young men on the same day they displayed their power. The Snake King knew — even all the senior generals in the East Asian Military Region knew — that Qin Fen wouldn't care about his rank. The only reason he still wore the military uniform was to abide by the promise he made that day, nothing more.
As Qin Fen didn't care about his rank, naturally the same could be said for his friends — Xue Tian, Du Peng, Yang Lie, etc.
This was not because of Qin Fen's charm, but rather the shared experiences of toeing the line of life and death. Even if it was Du Peng who said "I do not care about ranks", Qin Fen, Xue Tian, and the others would also unequivocally say, "Du Peng's opinion is our opinion."
The deep friendship gained from countless near-death experiences was understood by Snake King, Du Hen, who was also a soldier.
Major General — that title emerged within a day for many people. Starting from Qin Fen to Du Peng, everyone became a major general overnight.
Qin Fen and the others had repeatedly played on Saturn, and without realizing, they conquered the Saturn military personnel who had a carefree attitude. They saw that Qin Fen and the others were promoted to the ranks of major generals, and they were not too surprised nor happy about it; they also didn't celebrate.
In their view, it didn't matter whether Qin Fen was a major general, major, or a second lieutenant. These young men were the true leaders of the Saturn Military Region! They were the soul of the Saturn Military Region! Even if the Federation sent someone with a general pin on their shoulder, the military personnel at Saturn would still only follow the orders of Qin Fen and the others, instead of the higher-ranking general.
"Success! It's a success, Major General Xue Tian!"
Several Dragon Hall researchers specializing in metallurgy expressed more excitement than those that won the lottery.
"Successful? Are you saying that the degree of hardness of the metal that I requested was a success?" Xue Tian suddenly became interested. With his martial dao strength growing to this point, swords with normal metals were unsuitable to him. At this point, to create a stronger weapon, it may be necessary to become a divine beast martial artist.
Vermillion Bird had her Vermillion Bird Spear, while Qilin had his own Qilin Blade! Xue Tian also wanted to have his own Blade of Fury. Although true energy could strengthen the blade, with Xue Tian's current power, it was not enough to just strengthen the blade with only the blade aura and the metal itself.
He had to! He needed to! He needed better materials for the weapon!
The new metal gave Xue Tian an easy way to meet his own requirements. They no longer need to have a divine beast martial artist divert resources to create weapons.
"Not just the hardness of the metal..."
"There is the elasticity you wanted..."
"There is no problem!"
"Even the elasticity..." Xue Tian laughed, "I was just joking at that time. If you increase the flexibility, wouldn't that make your job harder?"
"It really did, or else we wouldn't have taken this much time."
The faces of those researchers were full of excitement and pride. In this short period of time, the first layer of basic data given by Xue Tian has been reached. Although there was still a long way to go before reaching the ultimate level of data as required by Xue Tian, the current metal data was enough to create a blade for Xue Tian.
"This time we mixed one hundred and seventy-three metals in it, including several special chemical solutions..."
Xue Tian left Qin Fen and followed the group of metallurgy fanatics into the lab while listening to their complaints, "Major General Xue, we don't understand, why do you have to forge the blade by yourself? We can use the best scientific methods to create the best blade! Also, why do you need to put in your own blood? Because of your blood, we have to try out a variety of methods to meet your requirements regarding the hardness and elasticity of the blade."
Xue Tian turned back and waved at Qin Fen and once again looked at the scientific madmen around him, not knowing how to explain to the scientists that there was a 'soul' in martial dao. This was not any mythical soul, but a form of aura! After a long period of cultivation, the aura would be integrated into the human blood, deeply penetrating itself to the bone marrow.
It was precisely because of this 'soul' that was integrated into the weapon that gave the user a feeling of being connected to the weapon.
