If Heaven hadn't given birth to me, I would be arrogant.

Just as Zongze said this, Qi Daier was surprised to find that the bleeding from Zongze's severed finger had stopped.

This situation didn't seem unusual to Froth, but Qi Daier, who had served in the military and risen from a lowly soldier to the commander of a large army corps, knew that this phenomenon was too strange!

It's important to know that human fingers are connected to many blood vessels. While cutting them off like that might not be fatal, it can still be dangerous if the bleeding isn't stopped in time.

But in the short time it took Zong Ze to say just one sentence, the bleeding actually stopped on its own!

Zong Ze naturally noticed Qi Dai'er's observation, and he smiled: "General, have you discovered something?"

Before Qi Dai'er could reply, Zong Ze continued, "Everything you two heard and saw today is only for the two of you. I hope you will keep it a secret from me outside!"

After saying that, Zong Ze seemed to consider it for a moment before continuing, "When I saw the general outside the capital a month ago, the general was only a first-level Martial Saint. Today, the general has already become a second-level Martial Saint. It must be because the general was emotionally agitated after personally killing his son that his strength increased!"

When Zong Ze mentioned his son again, perhaps because he had witnessed Zong Ze cutting off his own finger, Qi Dai'er was no longer furious!

"Hey!"

Qi Daier sighed deeply, and after a long while, he said with a bitter smile, "I would rather have my strength greatly diminished, as long as..."

Zong Ze seemed oblivious to Qi Dai'er's dejection and continued to ask, "Then may I ask if the general knows the strength of those who have passed the Martial Saint realm, and if the general knows my current level?"

"Of course I know!"

Qi Dai'er nodded, perhaps thinking of his son, and answered the question somewhat absentmindedly: "After the Martial Saint comes the Martial God, and after the Martial God comes the Martial Venerable. Since I cannot fathom the Marshal's strength, he must already be at the Martial God realm!"

"what?"

Qi Dai'er answered absentmindedly, but Flott, standing to the side, was overjoyed: "Xiao Ze, you really broke through?"

Since Zong Ze's return, the capital has undergone a dramatic change. Everyone forgot to inquire about Zong Ze's current strength. Now, upon learning from Qi Dai'er that Zong Ze had broken through to the Martial God realm, how could Floret not be excited?

What is a God of War? He is the pillar of an empire. As long as an empire has a God of War, no other empire will dare to have any improper thoughts.

Originally, Zong Xiaozhang was the pillar of the Rune Empire, but after Zong Xiaozhang left, everyone placed their hopes on Zong Kuang, who was the most promising candidate. However, Zong Kuang was killed by Lan Te.

Everyone had assumed the empire would be without the protection of a Martial God for at least several decades, but who would have thought that Zong Ze would actually break through to the Martial God realm? A Martial God at less than twenty years old! The empire has hope!

"Ok!"

Zong Ze nodded: "Uncle Flotte, I have broken through, but General, you guessed wrong. I am not a God of War, but..."

"Martial Lord!"

"Martial Lord?"

Even the dazed Qi Dai'er snapped back to reality: "Marshal, what did you say? You've advanced to Martial Venerable? This...this...how is this possible? Didn't the old marshal say that Martial Venerables couldn't possibly appear on the Holy Word Continent?"

"That was before!"

Zong Ze smiled calmly: "Times have changed. I can also tell you that I am not only a Martial Venerable, but also a peak Martial Venerable. I estimate that I will break through again soon. The realm above Martial Venerable is called Divine Sect Realm!"

"This this……"

The two of them suddenly didn't know what to say; Zongze's news was just too shocking!

"Hehe, actually I'm telling you two about my true strength not to show off, but because I want to show General Qi Dai'er something!"

After saying that, Zongze extended his left index finger!

Then, Zidane and Flot were completely stunned. For a moment, they felt their mouths were dry and they couldn't produce a single drop of saliva.

What did they see?

He watched in disbelief as Zong Ze's finger, which had just been cut off, began to grow back at a visible speed, just like a sprouting bean seedling.

In just a few minutes, Zongze's left hand grew a new finger.

Looking at the severed finger lying on the ground, and then at Zong Ze's perfectly intact left hand, the two suddenly felt as if the world had been turned upside down!

This is Zongze's ability, the ability of the Heart Sutra of Nature. It is Zongze's ability to challenge those of higher levels.

Ordinary cultivators would need to reach the Divine Sect Realm to repair their damaged bodies. But Zong Ze, at the peak of Martial Venerable, is already capable of doing so!

"This is called body repair!"

Zongze seemed to have anticipated their feelings, so he wasn't surprised by their shock at all. He simply said, "As long as you reach my level of ability, you can achieve self-repair!"

After saying that, Zong Ze looked at Qi Dai'er again: "Think about the questions I asked the general just now. Can you think of anything?"

Upon hearing Zong Ze's words, Flot and Qi Dai Er finally came to their senses.

Suddenly, Qi Dai'er seemed to become extremely excited. His face turned bright red, and his voice trembled and became indistinct: "Marshal, you mean, I...my...my...!"

"Not bad!"

Zong Ze nodded and smiled, "That's the question I asked you: if you had another child, how would you raise him?"

Qi Daier was truly excited this time. The most painful thing in his life was losing his manhood in the war. If he could really repair himself like Zong Ze, wouldn't that mean he could regain his virility?

However, Qi Dai'er quickly thought of another problem, and upon thinking of it, his initial excitement plummeted: "Alas, I can only dream about it. The Marshal is a chosen one of heaven, a genius that comes along only once in ten thousand years, which is why he became a Martial Venerable level expert. As for me..."

Flot had also considered this issue, and he was right. Zong Ze had just said that to recover, one would need to reach at least the peak of the Martial Venerable realm, just like him. At his current age, Qi Dai'er probably couldn't do that!

"Hehe, General Qi Dai'er, do you know the wolf-headed man who brought you here just now?"

"Know!"

Qi Dai'er replied, "I've heard about it. Those are the marshal's personal guards whom he recruited from the foreign tribes!"

"That's right!"

Zong Ze nodded: "The guards I've subdued, if classified by human age, are ranging from their early twenties to nearly seventy! But they all have one thing in common: they are all at the peak of the Martial Venerable realm!"

"and!"

Zong Ze suddenly laughed, a sly laugh: "Before they met me, they were nothing more than martial arts fanatics!"
