"Xiao Chu, as a cultivator, you should also have some understanding of this field."
"Such people exist not only in our country, but in every country in the world."
"The West has great mages and holy knights, India has ascetics, and Japan has high-ranking ninjas."
"It is said that the United States is secretly researching genetically modified super soldiers."
At this point, Zhang Qidao looked at Chu Mo with a solemn expression and said with concern:
"This world is not peaceful. Countless comrades have died fighting against foreign enemies in order to protect the stability of our borders."
"Our country has a long history and ancient civilization, which makes them covet it."
"Coveting? What does that have to do with history and civilization?"
Chu Mo looked surprised.
Zhang Qidao, however, did not answer but asked a question instead.
Do you think there's a big difference between us and the gods in myths and legends?
Chu Mo nodded without hesitation:
"It's a bit big."
"It's not just a little big, it's extremely big; it's like night and day."
Zhang Qidao nodded, without refuting, and then asked:
"So do you think the difference between zero and one is bigger, or the difference between one and one hundred?"
"Of course, it's the former!"
One is going from nothing to something, which is the essential difference and the most difficult breakthrough.
The other is a tangible distance, which can be reached with effort.
Zhang Qidao stared straight at him, his tone extremely serious.
"Therefore, our existence, which transcends mortals, indirectly proves that ancient myths may be true."
"Not only do we think so, but others do as well, and some people have already discovered what appear to be relics left by ancient gods at two ancient civilization sites."
"Everyone believes that whoever can unlock the secrets there will be able to wield power far exceeding that of this world."
"Unfortunately, that place has worn down everyone's patience over the past hundred years, and no one has been able to crack the code to enter."
"Therefore, extraordinary individuals around the world have turned their attention to other countries of origin of civilization."
"And our country naturally became one of their key targets, and they frequently visited it."
"A frequent customer?"
Upon hearing this word, Chu Mo immediately abandoned his curiosity about those two places, and a surge of anger rose within him.
"Doesn't the government care?"
Hearing Zhang Qidao's indignant expression, Lu Fangzhou also looked grief-stricken.
"Of course not!"
"As a result, since the founding of the nation, we have lost no fewer than twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators, not to mention countless Qi Refining cultivators and martial arts masters."
"So many?" Chu Mo was shocked.
If nothing unexpected happens, a Foundation Establishment cultivator can live to be two or three hundred years old.
Even so, he estimated that the entire Dragon Kingdom, including the military, only had thirty or forty people.
But now, the country has only been established for a hundred years, yet no fewer than twenty people have died?
If they hadn't died, most of them would probably still be alive today, right?
Zhang Qidao shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"The enemy we face has never been one country, but the whole world."
"Therefore, I have been entrusted by the nation to come here and earnestly request that you impart the art of thunder to enhance the nation's foundation and reduce the number of deaths among its people."
As they continued, Zhang Qidao and Lu Fangzhou stood up solemnly.
He solemnly saluted Chu Mo, his hand lingering there for a long time.
The Way should not be lightly transmitted, and the Law should not be sold cheaply.
Moreover, this is a lightning technique, which is said to be the most powerful offensive technique.
Even with other Five Elements Daoist techniques, no one has ever been seen in thousands of years able to perform them without relying on sacred artifacts.
Its preciousness and importance are unprecedented and have epoch-making significance.
Once mastered, it can absolutely increase the strength of a Foundation Establishment cultivator by more than 50% out of thin air.
Imagine that the two sides were originally evenly matched, or even slightly inferior.
But with that extra 50%, you can easily turn the tables and defeat your opponent.
What could have been a lose-lose situation, or even a fight to the death, has instantly turned into a fight to the death.
The actual effect it brings is not just an increase in strength, but a hope for survival.
This would be a priceless treasure for any sect or family.
Nobody wants to share with others.
Therefore, they themselves felt uncertain about this proposal.
To everyone's surprise, Chu Mo simply nodded.
"good!"
"Huh? You... agreed?"
Zhang Qidao looked at him in disbelief, then his face lit up with excitement and elation, his voice rapid and trembling.
"Good! Good! Little Chu, the Dragon Kingdom is truly blessed to have you!"
"On behalf of the nation, on behalf of the Dragon Soul Guard, and on behalf of all the people, I thank you!"
Zhang Qidao excitedly slammed his fist on the table, and Lu Fangzhou couldn't help but burst into wild laughter:
"I told you, Brother Chu would definitely agree, but those old men didn't believe me? Haha... Let's see what they have to say when we get back."
His face was filled with pride, as if Chu Mo's decision had brought him unparalleled glory.
Seeing their excited and frenzied appearance, Chu Mo couldn't help but be moved.
He knew that the two men were not excited and happy for themselves.
It was for countless comrades-in-arms, and for the people behind them who needed protection.
"Xiao Chu, don't worry, the country will remember your contributions, but you will also receive all the rewards you deserve."
Zhang Qidao looked at Chu Mo and liked him more and more, feeling more and more gratified.
"Mr. Zhang, you flatter me. Don't forget that I am also a member of the Dragon Kingdom."
"When you have the ability, it is a citizen's duty to contribute to the country."
Chu Mo chuckled and said frankly:
"No need for any reward, you know I'm not short of money now."
