boom!
A powerful aura surged from within the martial arts department, attempting to counter the youth's aura.
But the energy collapsed instantly after colliding head-on with the youth, retreating step by step.
"presumptuous!"
As another angry voice rang out, a second surge of energy joined in, pushing the first surge forward.
However, even with the combined power of the two forces, they were still defeated.
Soon, a third stream of energy joined in, followed by a fourth, a fifth... nearly twenty streams of energy in total, finally managing to barely resist the energy.
The young man finally stopped.
At this moment, he was only a dozen meters away from the gate of the Martial Arts Department.
The ten martial arts masters who had been kneeling on the ground seemed to wake from a dream, and retreated back inside the door with faces full of shame.
The young man looked up and stared quietly at the building of the Martial Arts Department. Then, little by little, he moved the spear to his side and suddenly clenched his fist.
Clang!
"roar!"
The spear made a crisp sound, which then seemed to transform into the roar of a demon, and an invisible wave spread forward.
The aura formed by nearly twenty mountains and seas collapsed instantly.
Click!
The plaque that had stood for over a century, symbolizing the authority of the Martial Arts Department, had developed a crack.
"Jiang Huan!"
An incredibly terrifying aura instantly appeared, enveloping the heavens and earth, and shattering the youth's gunshot.
The voice was cold yet filled with terrifying rage.
"Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"
Jiang Huan paused for a moment, then pointed his spear forward, his previously emotionless eyes now radiating a burning light.
"Please enlighten me, Lord Tianning!"
As soon as the voice was uttered, thunderclouds surged between heaven and earth, as if shaken by Jiang Huan's arrogance.
On the rooftop of the Martial Arts Department, dozens of martial artists from the Mountain and Sea Realms gathered there, all dumbfounded.
"Has he gone mad?"
"How dare you point a gun at a king!"
"So arrogant, so incredibly arrogant..."
"What a mere mountain and sea! Where do you get the audacity to challenge kings and nobles!"
"This is a blatant challenge to the prestige of my Martial Arts Department!"
These people laughed angrily, trembling with rage, yet they lacked the courage to actually rush out and fight the young man to the death.
"Hahaha……"
Laughter filled the air, lasting for an unknown period of time before abruptly ceasing.
"As you wish."
A cold, indifferent voice rang out, each word carrying an overwhelming killing intent.
Clearly, the Duke of Tianning was truly enraged.
The sky darkened completely, and a division was faintly visible, with Jiang Huan and the ever-present Duke Tianning each occupying one side.
Just as the world was about to collapse, a person suddenly appeared in the crack, silently dissolving the murderous aura between the two.
"Jiang Huan, you mustn't do this."
The man was dressed in a navy blue suit, around forty years old, with his hair neatly combed. His resolute face was framed by a pair of piercing eyes that made it difficult to look directly at him.
"minister!"
Facing the newcomer, Jiang Huan slightly lowered the tip of his gun and nodded to show respect.
"Minister Wu!"
The martial arts practitioners on the rooftop temporarily suppressed their anger and bowed in respect.
The visitor was none other than Wu Wei, the Minister of Martial Arts of China, a true martial arts giant, known as "the first person after the first generation of the Nine Kings".
The terrifying aura of Tianning Gong, which overwhelmed heaven and earth, also subsided somewhat, as if he were greeting people in this way.
“Go back. Marquis Jingcheng won’t agree to you doing this.”
Wu Wei looked at Jiang Huan and spoke.
Jiang Huan remained silent.
Seeing this, Wu Wei shook his head and sighed softly, "What do you want?"
"Fairness," Jiang Huan finally spoke, uttering only two simple words.
"Okay." Wu Wei nodded in agreement readily.
But Jiang Huan didn't leave, as if she was waiting.
Wu Wei didn't care and turned around to face the Martial Arts Department.
"Tianning, starting today, the annual allowance for the Martial Arts Department will be reduced by another 30%. You don't need to raise any objections. This matter has already been voted on by the Royal Council, and I have already noted your dissenting vote."
Silence fell over the world. After a long while, the cold voice of the Duke of Tianning finally rang out again.
"Since it's already a done deal, why bother informing me?"
"We should at least let you know."
Wu Wei paused for a moment, then continued, "Furthermore, the Black List is abolished today and merged into the Red List, which will henceforth be the responsibility of the Police Armed Forces Division!"
The heavens and earth trembled, clearly indicating that this news had a greater impact on Duke Tianning.
"Minister Wu, you've really got some tricks up your sleeve. Are you trying to completely cut off my martial arts department's path to survival?"
The Duke of Tianning was so angry that he laughed instead.
"You are aware of my point of view."
Wu Wei's expression remained calm, but his tone was still firm: "For the sake of the bigger picture, this decision has been postponed for ten years. You should be content."
"Good, very good!"
Lord Tianning sneered repeatedly, "What a fine way of thinking about the big picture! Does my Martial Arts Department really think it's a cancer on the human race?"
Faced with the almost interrogative tone of the Duke of Tianning, Wu Wei remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "I still stand by what I said: if the light is bright enough, there will be no shadows."
"Is that so? I'll wait and see!"
After Lord Tianning coldly uttered those words, the terrifying aura between heaven and earth suddenly dissipated.
Only then did Wu Wei turn around and face Jiang Huan, who had been waiting quietly.
“Go back... Don’t be resentful. I know your ‘path’ is special, but there’s no need to be so radical. At least for now, you are no match for Lord Tianning.”
Jiang Huan remained silent, nodded slightly, turned around, and continued to stride away, still dragging his spear, disappearing at the end of the road in the blink of an eye.
Ignoring the distraught Mountain and Sea martial artists on the rooftop, who looked as if they had lost their parents, Wu Wei turned to look south, then shook his head and revealed a strange smile.
