his vitality was several times that of a peak Dao Foundation stage martial artist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such powerful vitality, five clones sharing the damage together, and yet they were all blown to bits by one punch from Li Fei?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Chen Fei was frightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his remaining divine ability energy could allow all the clones to \"resurrect\" two more times using the [Regeneration] divine ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who knew how many more punches like that one Li Fei could throw?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Offense: he could not break through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Defense: he could not hold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His two strongest methods were both inferior to Li Fei; how was he supposed to fight this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fei lay silently in the pit for a while, then rose and left without a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Return to the camp?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't have the face to go back!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the camp, Li Fei glanced into the distance; he sensed that Chen Fei had already left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before unleashing Sword State: Light-Splitting Blood Shadow, he had not used any Blood Soul techniques, simply wanting to see if he could contend with a four-divine-ability Martial Arts Master by relying on the fusion of law and martial arts from his two divine abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he discovered that fighting in the air, he still fell short when dealing with Chen Fei, a top-tier Martial Arts Master among those with four divine abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could probably wear the other party down to death, but that was not the result Li Fei wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why he started using Blood Soul techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For that final punch, under the \"Blood Demon State,\" [Blood Rage] doubled his power, and then he used the Vajra Seal: Dragon-Elephant to continue doubling that power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was an amount of Blood Rage power equivalent to the conversion of 2,320 Blood Souls!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, Li Fei’s punch also combined the Dao Force [Infinite Brightness Fire], condensing all the scattered force into a single point, and then infused it with a massive amount of sword Qi in the Sword State, imitating the punch he saw the Martial Saint Tai Yu throw back at the Great Luo Sect, thereby delivering that punch which was \"like the sun at high noon\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this punch only consumed 580 Blood Souls to activate [Blood Rage], its power far exceeded the current endurance limit of Li Fei’s body, and the self-inflicted damage reached as high as over 400 Blood Souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, by throwing this punch, Li Fei used up over 1,000 Blood Souls in one go!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every subsequent punch would also require self-inflicted damage of over 400 Blood Souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei’s current total Blood Soul amount from his Ten Thousand Blood Beads + Blood Spring was 6,765, so he could at most throw a dozen or so such punches in a row.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The question was, how many Martial Arts Masters in this world could consecutively block a dozen or so punches like his?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A five-divine-ability Martial Arts Master? Or a six-divine-ability Martial Arts Master?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, Li Fei was also very curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could, of course, have used this move from the start, but that would not have achieved his goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not come here today to defeat just anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had finished off Chen Fei with one punch right from the start, the people in the camp would likely have thought he had only defeated an ordinary Martial Arts Master with a single divine ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let Chen Fei fully demonstrate his strength first, show all his divine abilities one by one; the more impressive he appeared at the beginning, the better!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Li Fei would settle it with one punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then would this \"prestige\" be truly established!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From today on, all of you are my soldiers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei stood on the high platform and said to the crowd below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are willing to follow you, my lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Chengyun, who was holding Li Fei’s clothes and blade, was the first to shout loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are willing to follow you, my lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following closely were the more than three thousand martial artists recommended from various places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to His Majesty’s decree, they were supposed to obey Li Fei’s orders anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, there were the more than three hundred military officers of various ranks who had been transferred over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the lowest Flag Commander to the highest Regional Military Commissioner, the lowest being at the Body-Breaking stage and the highest at the Dao Foundation stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people looked at each other, and one after another, they bowed their heads to the figure on the high platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were just following orders; they could not influence the infighting of the upper echelons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Li Fei had won, they would just follow Li Fei for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, having witnessed that battle just now, deep down, these officers were more than willing to follow Li Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Li Fei said at the beginning:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the battlefield, there is no new or old, only strong and weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are willing to follow you, my lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the night, the Barbarian-Slaughtering City was not bright, and there were very few pedestrians on the streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Barbarian-Slaughtering City had always enforced military control with a curfew every night, so the nightlife here could not compare to other large cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Military Department, inside the command post building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord, the Marquis of Jing'an has already settled into that camp; it looks like he might continue to lead people in training there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A subordinate reported to Luo Xu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about Chen Fei?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"General Chen has already returned to the Green Frost Army.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Report to me at any time if there is any movement at the camp.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the subordinate exited the room, Luo Xu picked up the receiver on the desk, dialed the rotary, and made a phone call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the call was connected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is Luo Xu, I’m looking for Deputy Commander Wei.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, please wait a moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, a steady voice came from the other end of the line:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is Wei Yihao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A signature smile appeared on Luo Xu’s face: \"Deputy Commander Wei, I am very sorry about the matter with Chen Fei.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Yihao was the Deputy Commander of the Green Frost Army, one person below, ten thousand above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he only commanded ten thousand troops, his rank was equivalent to that of Luo Xu, a Provincial Military Commander; both were level 17 military officers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Military Affairs Bureau had four Provincial Military Commanders, each stationed at one of the four defense lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition to this, the commanders of the three Imperial Guard armies—White Flame, Red Qilin, and Green Frost—all held ranks equivalent to Provincial Military Commanders, making them level 18 military officers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the strongest Sky-Blue Iron Cavalry, the commander was the Grand Marshal of Military Affairs, Wenren Zheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So strictly speaking, the Military Affairs Bureau actually had seven Provincial Military Commanders; four of them commanded over one hundred thousand troops, while the other three led the most formidable ten-thousand-strong Imperial Guard armies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that the former were more imposing and had more power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if both sides were to clash on the battlefield, the latter would win!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they would win without any suspense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, as fellow level 17 military officers, Luo Xu spoke very politely to Wei Yihao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have already understood the specific situation; Chen Fei’s skills were inferior to others, so he cannot blame anyone else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Yihao’s voice came from the receiver, showing no ripples of emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His Majesty has ordered the Marquis of Jing'an to command those three thousand-plus martial artists, so the Military Department can only follow orders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Xu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Yihao: \"I understand; since it is His Majesty’s will, the Green Frost Army naturally has no objections.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh, the Green Frost Army has rendered great service; even if the Marquis of Jing'an has the favor of His Majesty, he should still show at least the minimum respect to the Green Frost Army.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Xu said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exchanging a few more pleasantries with the other party, he hung up the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Green Frost City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the large city garrisoned by the Green Frost Army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Yihao, who had a tall build and a bald head, put down the phone, looked at Chen Fei sitting to the side, and sneered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luo Xu, that old fox, truly has ill intentions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fei turned his head to look over: \"What did he say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Yihao rubbed his bald head and sneered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He wants to provoke our Green Frost Army into taking the initiative to pull out this thorn, the Marquis of Jing'an.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fei subconsciously rubbed his chest, recalling once again the punch he faced today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just what is this Li Fei's strength exactly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Yihao asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fei gave a bitter smile: \"I cannot see through it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shattering Void Six-Phase Sound Kill\" could not break Li Fei's defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Same-Sound Six-Phase Qi Control\" could not block Li Fei's attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He truly could not see where Li Fei's upper limit of strength lay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be that he really relied on himself to block a strike from a True Person back then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Yihao looked incredulous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think it's possible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fei nodded suddenly and forcefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If even a True Person couldn't kill him, it wouldn't be shameful for me to lose, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Yihao glanced at him: \"You've made my hands itch a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fei's eyes lit up, and he looked at the other person with anticipation: \"Are you going to go find Li Fei for a fight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Yihao laughed and scolded: \"Damn, what kind of expression is that? Do you think I'll definitely lose?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a Martial Arts Master of five divine abilities; although he only had one more divine ability than Chen Fei, his strength was already on a different level from Chen Fei's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, although Chen Fei had lost, he did not believe that he himself would necessarily lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I believe you will definitely win, my lord! When are you going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fei asked with an expectant look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Yihao shook his head: \"I can't go now. If I go, I'll just be used as a blade by the military department.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Chen Fei straightened his mindset: \"Then what should we do next?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over three thousand martial artists—this \"pie\" was too tempting; the Green Frost Army would not give it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though His Majesty had already issued an imperial decree, this \"pie\" had indeed reached Li Fei's hands for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But whether he could truly swallow this \"pie\" in the end would depend on whether Li Fei's methods were tough enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His Majesty only ordered the Marquis of Jing'an to lead these martial artists to join the Barbarian-Slaying Army. Once the war ends in the future, there is no final conclusion on where these martial artists will go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Yihao said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In my opinion, rewards will still be based on merit when the time comes. As long as our Green Frost Army's contributions are sufficient, we won't have to worry about not being able to snatch the people!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fei was puzzled: \"But there is no one from our Green Frost Army in the Barbarian-Slaying Army. How are we supposed to build merit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Green Frost Army's evil-suppressing weapons were of the highest grade, capable of forming a ten-thousand-man army formation at most, and would not be easily split up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, there was no Green Frost Army among the Imperial Guard units in this Barbarian-Slaying Army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Yihao laughed: \"You kid only know how to fight with your head down; you don't understand how to analyze the situation. You'll only ever be a 'general' in this life, never a 'commander'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fei retorted unhappily: \"Then would you please analyze the situation for this subordinate, Commander Wei?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Yihao stood up directly, walked to a large sand table in the center of the room, and pointed to the area representing the Northern Barbarians on it:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Barbarian-Slaying Army's mission this time is to go deep behind enemy lines alone and behead the Northern Barbarian King, Bo'erhu. I ask you, which route do you think the Barbarian-Slaying Army must take to break in and have a chance at success?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fei also stood up and came to the sand table, staring at the flags planted on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These flags represented the current troop distribution of the seventeen Northern Barbarian tribes. In fact, he had pondered this question long ago when he learned that the imperial court would establish the Barbarian-Slaying Army—how would the Barbarian-Slaying Army break into the wilderness, pass through layers of defense lines, and carry out a decapitation strike against the Northern Barbarian King?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking hard for a long time, he had not come up with a good plan, only feeling that perhaps the imperial court had capable people who could solve this problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Wei Yihao had raised this question again, it made Chen Fei realize he might have thought of it too simply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If there is only the Barbarian-Slaying Army, no matter how they break through, the final outcome will surely be being surrounded by a large army and getting trapped inside!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Yihao said very firmly, \"So for this operation, the entire Northern Border Army will participate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fei suddenly realized; he understood it all at once:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are responsible for attracting the main force of the Northern Barbarians, tearing open the Northern Barbarian defense line for the Barbarian-Slaying Army, and creating an opportunity to assassinate the King?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Yihao nodded and smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It must be like that! So our Green Frost Army has plenty of opportunities to earn merit. That Marquis of Jing'an, a fledgling who has never been on a battlefield, leading three thousand new recruits who have also never been on a battlefield—how can he compare his military merit to ours?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fei felt that what Wei Yihao said made a lot of sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether the Barbarian-Slaying Army could succeed in the end would still depend on the Imperial Guard units and those few Grandmasters in the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Li Fei, he was truly powerful, but in a war of this level, even a Martial Saint might not be more useful than the Green Frost Army!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the training camp for the three thousand plus martial artists recommended by the Blue Patrol Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei lived in a simple wooden hut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was one other person in the room, from Datong Prefecture, a martial artist recommended by the Green-Faced Mountain Villa named Gong Ze, who counted as one of his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Those three hundred plus military officers all have their own factions; they are people sent from various strongholds of the Northern Border Army. Before you arrived, Marquis, these three thousand of us had likely already been 'carved up' by the Northern Border Army.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Ze was telling Li Fei about what he had seen and heard in the North:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...We have to train every day, and what we practice most is forced marches in the jungle. Besides that, there are courses on how to deal with various poisonous insects, poisonous miasmas, and the exotic beasts we might encounter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...The Northern Border Army is actually quite generous. When we first enlisted, everyone was issued a portion of the elixirs needed for our cultivation. After training for over a month, they issued another portion during that time. The previous chief instructor, the one you defeated, Marquis, said that as long as we perform well, we can receive extra cultivation elixirs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Most of us came to the North to take a gamble. Before setting out, our sects or gangs gave us a benefit, and after arriving at the border army, the Blue Patrol Pavilion also promised a benefit. Added to the benefits from the border army, that is why everyone was willing to come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Some are here for cultivation resources, others just to earn a sum. I know an older brother of forty-five, a Qi-Transformation stage martial master, whose four children are all at the local Martial Arts Hall. The cost of supporting four children in martial arts is too high, so this brother came to the North to risk his life just to earn money for his children to practice martial arts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening to Gong Ze's account, Li Fei successively called many people into his room to ask some questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides that, there were also some people who took the initiative to come find Li Fei to pledge their loyalty to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the entire night, Li Fei was chatting and questioning different people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't until the early hours of the next day that he stopped to organize the harvest of the whole night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he could be certain of one thing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Emperor handed these three thousand plus martial artists over to him to command, it was limited to this upcoming war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the war ends, whether these people can become his foundation in the army will depend on his actions from here on out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the next few days, Li Fei stayed in the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Chen Fei, the chief instructor, had left, the three hundred plus military officers were still there, so continuing to organize training was not a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei only needed to be responsible for supervising everyone's training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five days later, he encountered a new problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean there are no more elixirs?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei stared at a military officer in front of him and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party said hurriedly: \"Marquis, that is the answer we got from the military supplies department. They said the inventory is tight, the elixirs we need are temporarily out of stock, and we need to wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei narrowed his eyes: \"Did the military supplies department say how long we need to wait?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The military officer shook his head: \"They didn't say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether practicing or training, martial artists must stimulate their implants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And implants require a lot of energy to ingest; if one relies only on normal eating, absorption is slow and efficiency is low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, elixirs to replenish implant energy are indispensable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For over three thousand martial artists, training at high intensity and overload every day, the amount of elixirs consumed is not a small number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, every week, the military supplies department would send a batch of elixirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday, Li Fei was informed that the elixirs used for training in the camp were about to run out, but the military supplies department did not send the elixirs on time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So today, Li Fei sent someone to the Barbarian-Slaying City military supplies department to ask about this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final answer received was that the inventory was tight and the elixirs were temporarily out of stock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was fine when Chen Fei was here, but as soon as he arrived, the inventory became tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could guess with their feet that there was something fishy going on!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Li Fei did not get angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The imperial decree only said to let him command these three thousand plus martial artists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The extra three hundred plus military officers responsible for training and command, the elixirs currently used for training, including the weapons, firearms, ammunition, armor, and other things that would be needed in the future...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These all belonged to \"additional content.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How the Northern Border Army gives them, when they give them, how much they give, and the quality of what they give... these were all decided by the border army itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To put it bluntly, if Li Fei could not solve these problems, it meant he did not have the ability to command these three thousand plus people!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leading troops in battle was never just about considering the fighting itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor let him command over three thousand martial artists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a huge power, but it was also a major test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, considering that Li Fei had never had relevant experience before and had no foundation in the army, the Emperor specially had Feng Cheng send him a \"As If I Were Personally Present\" gold medal before he set out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This medal was the Emperor's extra care and favor toward Li Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei’s past experiences allowed him to see through the tricks of the trade here at a glance, and at the same time, he was very clear about the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with the current shortage of elixirs, he could indeed take out the \"As If His Majesty Were Here\" token to resolve it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believed that as long as the military supply department saw this token, they would absolutely not deliberately obstruct him regarding elixirs again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he could take out the token when encountering a problem this time, what about the next time he encountered other problems?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would he need to take out the token to resolve every little problem he encountered in the future?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Li Fei used the gold token in his hand to solve problems from beginning to end, then in this great examination, was the one \"solving the problem\" him or the Emperor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, this gold token was only temporary; the ability to solve problems, connections, foundations, prestige, and so on—these were what truly belonged to oneself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei smiled; it was just another form of cultivation, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where in life is there no cultivation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said to the military officer who had come to report:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, I understand. You may go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The military officer glanced at him, saluted, and withdrew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, everyone in the entire camp knew about this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the elixirs for replenishing energy had been exhausted, today's training had to be forced to a halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no training, everyone in the camp was discussing it, wanting to see how their immediate superior would resolve this problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaman City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Military Department, Command Post.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He only said one sentence—'I understand'—and then made no further moves?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Xu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, the Marquis of Jing'an has stayed in the camp all day without leaving, and has not taken any action.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The subordinate reported.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Xu smiled and waved his hand, signaling for the subordinate to withdraw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When it comes to martial cultivation, you are indeed more formidable, but in officialdom, you are still too green.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Xu shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, they were short on recovery elixirs; later, they would be short on weapons and ammunition, short on armor, and short on all kinds of supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as there were a few more such incidents, those three thousand-plus martial artists would understand who was truly in charge here in the Northern Frontier! And who they could truly rely on!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, when this battle ended in the future, Li Fei would have no way to gain a firm foothold and would only be able to leave the Northern Frontier and go back to being his honest Marquis of Jing'an.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the remaining three thousand-plus martial artists would naturally be absorbed by the Northern Frontier border army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Zhuang, do you think this move of sending Li Fei to the Northern Frontier is the Emperor's intention, or the intention of that Grand Secretary?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Xu suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, besides him, there was a middle-aged man in the room wearing white robes and a jade hairpin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person was wearing the standard robe of the Law Enforcement Pavilion, and judging by the grade of the robe, it was one specifically for a True Person!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that this Mr. Zhuang was a True Person of the current age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Chen picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said slowly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does my lord think there is any difference between the two?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Xu looked at him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it is the Grand Secretary's intention, the other party moved against the Daoists first, then the pugilistic world, and it seems the next step is to move against the border army.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it is the Emperor's intention... then Prince Cheng...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not finish his sentence, because he knew Zhuang Chen could understand his meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Chen shook his head: \"I am more inclined to believe this is another tacit cooperation between the monarch and his subject.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Xu narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That pair of rulers in the imperial court both checked and balanced each other while also cooperating; their relationship was truly complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result of their last tacit cooperation was the Mingxin Reform!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What would it be this time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, a figure, as if invisible, left the camp without alerting anyone and entered Shaman City in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",4451,"2026-06-25T10:09:35.514Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","535cf5c8dce15f7ea05dc21aa4c53c9372b8e94274808962c7f1819538cf17e9","this-martial-saint-has-too-much-hp-chapter-779","this-martial-saint-has-too-much-hp-chapter-777",895,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-martial-saint-has-too-much-hp-cover.jpg"]
