Chapter 195: My Sword is Still There, I Fear No Dragon (Anthem of the Leader's Fall)

Leaving Xie Ruoxi with Instructor Qi and asking him to arrange for someone to take the pretty loser to have his spiritual roots checked, Yan Yu was called to the principal's office again.

To be honest, I haven't attended classes for a few days since I entered the Zhendong National Defense College. I have been running to the training ground and the principal's office all the time. If you don't know me, you would think I am the chief instructor.

When I arrived at the principal's office, Chen Tianming was no longer there. I guess he had finally returned to Jianghai Mansion to do some business.

Li Weiguo smiled when he saw him coming. Just as he was about to say "sit down", he saw Yan Yu directly pull over a chair and sit down, then showed an undisguised inquiring expression of "What do you want from me again?"

After a moment of silence, Li Weiguo put away his smile and said:
"Did you hear that?"

"What did you hear?" Yan Yu asked.

"What happened with Siam?" Li Weiguo asked in surprise. "Haven't you read the recent news?"

"Isn't all the news about me recently?" Yan Yu asked in surprise.

Li Weiguo:…………

"Ahem." He forced a smile and said, "Then you can take a look now."

Yan Yu picked up his phone and searched for international news.

Oh, change of leadership, that’s it?

"What's the big deal?" Yan Yu put away his phone. "I remember that over there, the military and civil officials frequently switched power, forcing each other out of office."

"Yeah." Li Weiguo said calmly, "The new one is a transcendent."

Yan Yu was silent for a moment, then asked tentatively:

"A military extraordinary person, right?"

Li Weiguo showed an expression of noncommittal, but not answering was an answer in itself, so Yan Yu immediately guessed the answer.

At first glance, it was identified as a lone walker.

Don't be surprised. In the next few decades, everyone will become a vassal of Wei Bo. It is recommended that we collectively review the history of the late Tang and Five Dynasties.

Yan Yu looked at Li Weiguo carefully, but he didn't realize that Li Weiguo was also looking at him. The two of them stared at each other for a long time, and then Yan Yu suddenly said:
"Mr. Li, you know me well. I am loyal to the heavens and the sun, the moon, and the sky as witnesses..."

"Stop!" Li Weiguo couldn't stand it anymore and quickly stopped. "I'm not doubting you, I mean you need to understand the seriousness of this matter!"

How could Yan Yu not understand? He had come from that era in his previous life! To quote Ouyang Xiu, "The ancestral temples, the imperial court, the people and the ghosts have all lost their order." I won't elaborate on what that means.

"I understand. This incident has set a bad precedent for the entire world." Yan Yu said seriously, "What will the extraordinary people from other countries think when they find out?"

This isn't an exaggeration; there's a classic example from ancient times: In July of the second year of Emperor Muzong's Changqing reign, the newly appointed Xuanwu Jiedushi, Li Yuan, was overthrown by his subordinates in a rebellion because his rewards were lower than those of his predecessor. When news reached Runzhou, Dou Yizhi, the governor of western Zhejiang, worried his subordinates would follow suit, planned to use official funds to reward his subordinates. He was dissuaded, saying it was "illegible and unreasonable." Soon after, Wang Guoqing, a general under the Runzhou governor, incited the state's troops to revolt... It's clear that in times of unrest, rebellion is a surefire way to inspire others to follow suit.

Not to mention, with the internet now connecting the world, news spreads incredibly quickly. If a certain country's superhumans successfully rebel, and the superhumans of neighboring countries see "there's such a good thing happening," is there any need to guess what will likely happen next?
Li Zhaojiang's rebellion in his previous life was certainly triggered by his sister's sacrifice, but if the overall environment and atmosphere had not become very bad at that time, other cultivators would not have gathered to follow him, even if he was the number one cultivator of the Annan Army.

Damn this evil trend. In this life, I, Yan, will clear up the world for our country and bring peace to the people!

Li Weiguo certainly hadn't missed what Yan Yu could think of. However, with countries around the world relaxing their control over supernatural powers, Lu Guo was already a lone wolf going against the tide and truly didn't have the energy to interfere in foreign affairs. Therefore, he stopped there and turned to business:

"The Privy Council has arranged for you to play a match against the Flying Dragon Team next Tuesday."

"Flying Dragon Team?"

"The second team of the Zhenbei Army, led by Cai Qianlong, you can ask Liu Longtao."

"Oh." Yan Yu immediately remembered the name as soon as Li Weiguo mentioned it.

Isn't that the guy who challenged Liu Longtao for the top cultivator position and was defeated by his chatter? Since Elder Li specifically asked me to ask Master Jing, I guess this has already happened.

In my memory, Cai Qianlong’s ability as a sword immortal is actually quite strong, but I don’t know why he has to confront Jing Ye, otherwise his social evaluation would be even higher.

"I understand." Yan Yu asked tentatively, "A show of force, huh?"

Considering that the newly formed Shenxing Team was severely punished by Zhou Hongyu's Huofeng Team, the answer is obvious.

"It's more than just a show of force," Li Weiguo said calmly. "We've already acquired Chaoying's live broadcast technology. Your simulated confrontation will be broadcast live throughout. This will also be the first official public appearance of a Lu cultivator on social media. You must not only win beautifully, but also establish your authority. Do you understand?"

To establish prestige, of course, he didn't mean to establish the prestige of the Dingbei Army. Otherwise, he should have sent Jing Ye's Longxiong team, and then Yan Yu would have defeated them, guaranteeing that the entire Dingbei Army would be furious. Combined with the foreshadowing of the international news, Yan Yu certainly understood that this was a show of strength, to let the surrounding countries see the quality of Lu Kingdom's cultivators.

After all, although the monks from the Lu Kingdom appeared in the Three Islands Treasure Ship Secret Realm last time, it was ultimately from the perspective of a superhero. In addition, the dragon consumed a wave of the coalition forces' strength in advance, so the international propaganda generally believed that the monks from the Lu Kingdom had picked up the leak.

Although this is nonsense, if China is despised by the international community for a long time in terms of public opinion, it will sooner or later cause greater chaos.

Judging from the experience of past lives, the civilian cultivators outside are actually no different from nomadic peoples. When they can no longer contain them domestically, they will overflow to the mainland to snatch secret realms and resources... This has nothing to do with military strength, and most of the time it falls into the category of public security warfare. For example, the mainland's military strength completely crushes the Indochina Peninsula, but every year there are still drug dealers sneaking in on the southwestern border. This year you kill a batch, and next year another batch comes. Can you completely stop this by using barbed wire, mines and drones?
Not to mention the various magical methods possessed by transcendental beings. For example, a tattooist possesses a skin-changing technique, capable of peeling the skin of a person they've killed and applying it to their own skin, even passing facial recognition. If someone like this were to infiltrate Lu Country and cause trouble, how would you prevent them? How about arranging a daily code for the entire population, and then just become a Chaoyang Mass?

"Of course I understand." Yan Yu nodded and said, "Aircraft carriers don't need to open fire, cruising is the deterrent. What I want to do is to become our Lu country's aircraft carrier formation, so that they will be afraid when they see it and run away."

"Well, that's quite right," Li Weiguo said sternly. "Don't say it in front of me next time. If you want to show off, do it on the battlefield or in front of the media."

"Okay." Yan Yu nodded. "Anything else?"

"It's okay. It's just videos like Yan Zhanlong's. You can make more of them in the future." Li Weiguo said solemnly, "If the publicity is good, it can be equivalent to several border garrison divisions."

Yan Yu laughed loudly upon hearing this, and stood up, saying proudly:
"My sword is still sharp, but I'm afraid there's no dragon left to slay!"

He said goodbye to Li Weiguo and left. Li Weiguo watched him leave the office, his face serious for a long time, and finally couldn't help laughing.

"This brat!"

When Yan Yu arrived at the training ground, he saw Zhao Yuanzhen waiting for him outside alone.

"What?" Yan Yu frowned, worried that this demonic woman was going to cause trouble again. "Li Minghu and I are just friends, and Xie Ruoxi and I are just employees. Stop suspecting me all the time. If you keep saying stupid things, I'll give you extra training!"

Zhao Yuanzhen was immediately furious and argued:

"What Li Minghu and Xie Ruoxi? I hadn't even thought about that, and yet you brought it up yourself. Aren't you guilty of something?"

"Who knows what you're thinking!" Yan Yu scoffed. "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"Haha." Zhao Yuanzhen immediately crossed his arms and sneered, "Remember when I told you I found something great in the Three Islands Treasure Ship Secret Realm?"

"remember."

"If you admit your mistake now and beg me, I will tell you." Zhao Yuanzhen was very proud.

"Please? You're not worthy!" Yan Yu sneered and threatened, "During practice later, I'll let you steal the show in front of Xie Ruoxi and let her see your strength."

Zhao Yuanzhen was shocked when he heard this. What if Yan Yu really focused on me and went easy on the other sisters? Wouldn't that make me look weak and incompetent? How would Xie Ruoxi still respect me as her sister?
She was so angry that she almost gritted her teeth and could only hastily write down this account:

"The little thief threatened to use me to establish his authority today, and out of consideration for our sisterly love, I had to temporarily accede, but this vengeance must not go unresolved! One day, when I am in power, I will avenge this great vengeance in front of my sisters, and make the little thief pay back a hundredfold for the humiliation he inflicted on me!"

Record the account, seal it, and then put it aside. Zhao Yuanzhen calmed down his anger and said coldly:
"Have you heard of the Shenlong Wood?"

"Divine Dragon Wood?" Yan Yu was startled at first, then said, "This is the Divine Dragon Wood that possesses the essence of Jiamu wood. It remains unbroken by thunder and inextinguishable by fire. It's said to repel all evil. Oh, I should have thought of it. It's the main material for the keel of the Sanyu Treasure Ship. So, which cabin did you find it in?"

"That's right!" Zhao Yuanzhen said proudly, arms folded and chest puffed out. "How about using the divine dragon wood to make the limbs and skeleton?"

"Of course it is indestructible and cannot be invaded by water or fire." Yan Yu finally smiled.

Among the natural treasures, there are many materials that are hard enough, but most of them are made of gold and iron. If they are used to make limbs and bones, the metal content of the puppet's body will be too large, making it easier to be restrained by Taoist magic weapons such as Yuanci... Shenlong wood is indeed the best choice.

"You did a great job!" It was rare to see a demon girl from the Demon Sect make such a great contribution. Yan Yu was more pleased with her and handed her his puppet secret pill. "When will it be ready?"

"If you're happy, twenty days will be enough." Zhao Yuanzhen snorted, "If you make me unhappy, you might not be able to refine it in half a year or a year!"

"Hmm." Yan Yu asked thoughtfully, "Then I'll treat you to a meal. You choose the restaurant?"

"Ten meals!" The demonic woman was also vicious. She raised the price by ten. "No matter what I want to eat, you have to obey me!"

"Deal!" Yan Yu high-fived.

Zhao Yuanzhen:………………

Why do I feel like I offered too low a price?
