Probably just because I don’t understand the gang’s organizational structure well enough—I should ask for clarification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo thought for a moment, reluctant to ask Wang Fuhai and the others; if he asked, it would make him look utterly ignorant—not even knowing the powers of a gang leader, what kind of leader was he? How could he command respect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced left and right; Gan Lei was the first to join him—he’d ask Gan Lei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo whispered, “Brother Gan, the Internal Affairs Vice Leader handles supplies, the Daily Affairs Vice Leader handles daily operations—what does the Gang Leader do? What powers does he have?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gan Lei gave Cang Luo a strange look but didn’t overthink it, immediately whispering back, “The Gang Leader can manage everything—or nothing at all. His greatest power is the authority to appoint or dismiss gang members.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo instantly relaxed—he had personnel authority, that was fine; but what did “manage everything or nothing” even mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gan Lei explained again: “Because the Gang Leader is the strongest member of the gang, his personal strength directly determines the gang’s overall strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stronger the Gang Leader, the stronger the gang becomes, allowing it to grow and attract a constant stream of new members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the Gang Leader basically has no time to manage trivial matters—improving his own strength is the most important thing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo understood: the Gang Leader wasn’t powerless or neglectful—he simply had no time, unless he had the energy and willingness to interfere in the Vice Leaders’ duties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, the Gang Leader is the gang’s top combatant: if you’re strong, the Vice Leaders obey you; if you’re weak, they might sideline you—or even replace you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, this was a world ruled by strength, where everything was decided by power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After understanding his authority, Cang Luo began considering candidates for Daily Affairs Vice Leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo scanned the group, glancing at Gan Lei and others—impossible to appoint them; that would raise suspicions of nepotism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long look, he decided only Zang Feng and Zhao Renwu were suitable for the Daily Affairs Vice Leader position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though their cultivation bases weren’t the highest—Wang Fuhai had a man named Cheng Datong at Warrior Seventh Layer—since Wang Fuhai was already Vice Leader, there was no reason to let his subordinate become another Vice Leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo wouldn’t be so foolish as to let power slip away, allowing any faction to grow too strong and overshadow him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he had to choose between Zang Feng and Zhao Renwu; both held considerable influence among the three dormitories, especially Zhao Renwu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, he had gathered sixteen or seventeen followers; after Cang Luo defeated Long Zhantian and poached his men, Zhao still had eight who followed him—clearly he had some ability, or why would anyone stick with him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Make him Daily Affairs Vice Leader?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No—he had too many followers, nearly a third of the gang’s total; if he became Vice Leader, he’d definitely form cliques, undermining Cang Luo’s control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then make Zang Feng Daily Affairs Vice Leader?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zang Feng had treated him well, and his faction was the smallest—counting Liu Xuande and Li Zhanxing, including himself, only five people total—no threat to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he appointed Zang Feng, Zhao Renwu’s faction would surely resent it; they’d pretend obedience while secretly resisting, and the gang might collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo’s head ached—he didn’t know who to pick, so he looked at the group and asked, “Any suggestions or candidates?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Renwu, seeing Cang Luo hadn’t chosen anyone else—or himself—relaxed slightly but grew deeply dissatisfied; he gave a subtle glance to his cousin Zhao Renli.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Renli instantly understood and said at once, “Senior Brother Wang provided the gang’s startup funds and made a huge contribution; his family runs a trading house, so he’s the perfect candidate for Internal Affairs Vice Leader to manage supplies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He praised Wang Fuhai first; seeing Wang smile, he continued, “The Daily Affairs Vice Leader handles the gang’s daily operations—exhausting work, requiring someone responsible and willing to serve the gang selflessly...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Zhao Renwu and said, “Senior Brother Zhao frequently leads us on missions, works tirelessly without seeking reward—I recommend Zhao Renwu as Daily Affairs Vice Leader.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he finished, the other seven disciples in Zhao Renwu’s faction loudly agreed, supporting Zhao Renwu; even He Cheng and Gan Lei—those who had once received Zhao’s favors—nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Renwu saw no opposition, even He Cheng backing him—he immediately protested, “I can’t possibly accept! I’m unworthy!”—his reaction mirroring Cang Luo’s when accepting the Gang Leader position: outwardly humble, inwardly ecstatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he secretly gloated, Liu Xuande suddenly stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, “Senior Brother Zang Feng is also highly suitable for Daily Affairs Vice Leader; he has profound understanding of martial techniques and often guides fellow disciples in cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also possesses deep knowledge of beast beasts and spirit herbs, helping many of us—his reputation is well known; who in the Xin Dormitory hasn’t heard of Senior Brother Zang Feng?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Liu Xuande finished, Li Zhanxing and others chimed in, listing Zang Feng’s many strengths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zang Feng himself remained silent, drinking wine and eating meat, utterly indifferent to whether he’d become Daily Affairs Vice Leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Renwu’s group immediately countered, claiming Zang Feng’s cultivation was only Warrior Fifth Layer—insufficient for such a vital role.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhanxing’s group didn’t back down, arguing that although Zang Feng’s cultivation was lower than Zhao Renwu’s, his actual combat strength was no weaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither side yielded; they erupted into a heated argument—but Zhao Renwu’s faction held the upper hand, outnumbering Zang Feng’s nearly two-to-one, drowning them out with volume.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Renwu glanced at Zang Feng, sneering inwardly—he disliked Zang Feng intensely; over half a year ago, when he tried recruiting Liu Xuande and Li Zhanxing, Zang Feng had sabotaged it...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo saw the chaos and flew into a rage, shouting, “Stop!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone fell silent. Cang Luo continued, “A lone wolf dies, a pack survives! Have you forgotten what I just said?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gang isn’t even officially formed, and you’re already fighting over power—what will happen later?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, everyone lowered their heads in shame; Wang Fuhai said, “Let the Gang Leader decide. Whoever you appoint as Daily Affairs Vice Leader, we’ll accept it—right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Vice Leader is right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone murmured agreement, but their voices were weak and insincere; Cang Luo knew whichever side he chose, the other would never accept it—he needed a compromise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a moment, Cang Luo said, “Alright, I’ll take time to consider the Daily Affairs Vice Leader position and the roles of Left and Right Protectors—we’ll hold another meeting in a few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the meantime, try recruiting more people; thirty members is too few for a gang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, no more gang business—let’s talk of wine, food, and leisure...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky had darkened; it was dinnertime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they were warriors, they were only lowly Warrior-class—unable to survive without food or water; their stomachs still growled, and cultivation made them hungrier faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they temporarily forgot their earlier tensions and began eating meat heartily and drinking large bowls of wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo ate and drank with them for a while, then excused himself, claiming his right arm fracture hadn’t healed, and returned to his dorm to heal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in his dorm, Cang Luo washed up briefly, then lay on his bed, healing while pulling out his phone to edit a video.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo edited the afternoon match video against the Kong Sheng Academy—mainly cutting out the verbal sparring—and uploaded it to the World Meeting WeChat group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earth, China, Fenglin Huoshan Headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already past nine at night; most Fenglin Huoshan staff should have gone home, leaving only dozens on duty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, over two hundred staff were all present—no one wanted to leave, waiting for several videos being transmitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The video was sent by Cang Luo, the lowly youth who’d been summoned to Yuanwu Continent; it showed combat between warriors of Yuanwu Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Cang Luo, the two warriors were low-rank disciples from two Imperial Sects of the Chu Kingdom: one from Xuantian Gate, the other from Kong Sheng Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d seen many videos of human warriors fighting beast beasts—Cang Luo had sent over twenty, all from his battles with First-Rank beast beasts in the beast forests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they’d never seen videos of human versus human combat—so they were eager, even past quitting time; everyone wanted to witness how warriors from another world fought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a staff member reported: “Report, Director Li—the video transmission is complete. There are four videos.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Weiguo glanced at the video filenames—they had numbers and noted the combatants’ cultivation levels, but no names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Play them in order on the main screen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Li Weiguo quickly walked to the big screen and sat down, and the secretary immediately brought him a cup of strong tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some staff with no immediate tasks pulled up chairs to watch; the higher the rank, the closer to the front—first row included Li Weiguo and two others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Li Weiguo’s left sat a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit, Zhang Baojia, newly appointed Deputy Director of Fenglin Huoshan, replacing Chen Jun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Baojia oversaw the Combat Group “Fire” and Intelligence Group “Wind”; Li Weiguo oversaw the Logistics Group “Mountain” and R&D Group “Forest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Li Weiguo’s right sat a young man in Fenglin Huoshan combat uniform; though his rank was only Colonel, he enjoyed Major General benefits, hence his seat beside Li Weiguo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew his real name—only his codename: “Cold Sword.” He was the elite among elites, selected from hundreds of thousands of Chinese soldiers, now the top Wangpai  of Fenglin Huoshan’s Combat Group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo’s military boxing was taught by Cold Sword; Li Weiguo had specifically invited him to watch the alien warrior videos and analyze their combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group sat in neat rows before the screen, turning Fenglin Huoshan Headquarters into a cinema; Li Weiguo found it absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wondering if Cang Luo was even in the video—if he was, he’d be China’s biggest movie star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look at the audience:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>China’s Deputy Director and Director, a Colonel with Major General privileges, everyone else at least Section Chief level—didn’t even Jackie Chan’s movies get this treatment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the screen flickered—the video began playing...\u003C\u002Fp>",1737,"2026-06-21T06:04:04.528Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e7032a3a32e663b0c86700c58abee35390eeb472c7d590fe8dc48700e6450957","high-martial-arts-across-two-worlds-chapter-71","high-martial-arts-across-two-worlds-chapter-69",157,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhigh-martial-arts-across-two-worlds-cover.jpg"]
