Chapter 972: Chapter 972: 50,000 Troops Combined

The Gang Yuan vortex spun rapidly within Xiao Zheng’s body, spewing out streams of immensely strong airflow, surging into Xiao Zheng’s limbs, bones, and numerous acupuncture points, gradually causing Xiao Zheng’s body to swell up.

In just a moment, Xiao Zheng went from looking like a skeleton back to his original form, with strong muscles, rosy skin, and a mighty aura, his entire being like a supreme Divine crouching on the ground.

"Ah..."

Feeling the vigorous power coursing through him, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but let out a long howl to the sky, causing the entire secret room to tremble, with the walls suddenly cracking and then collapsing.

This secret room was created by Sky Net at great expense, with each wall made of extremely hard alloy. Xiao Zheng’s howl caused these walls to crack open, which was truly a terrifying feat.

Outside, the people of Sky Net heard the commotion from inside the secret room and were all alarmed, quickly rushing over. At the forefront were Long Qie, Titan, Catherine, and other senior members of Sky Net.

Upon arriving at the secret room, they saw a mess, with shattered metal pieces all over the ground, and billowing dust almost breaking through the ceiling.

Seeing this, they couldn’t help but worry, wondering if something had gone wrong with Xiao Zheng’s cultivation. They were immediately very anxious as they rushed into the secret room.

However, just after taking a few steps, they saw a figure rise from the ruins of the secret room, slowly walking out.

"Mr. Xiao!"

Long Qie shouted.

"Long Qie, catch my strike." Xiao Zheng smiled slightly and pressed a palm toward Long Qie from a distance. With a rumble, the void suddenly shook, and then a giant palm appeared, pressing down on Long Qie.

Long Qie felt a chill in his heart, instantly realizing that Xiao Zheng was testing him. He immediately concentrated, shouted loudly, and pushed upward with both hands.

Boom!

The golden palm in mid-air descended, directly smashing Long Qie into the ground.

"Amazing!" The crowd around, witnessing this scene, was all taken aback.

They were all senior members of Sky Net, and thus had some understanding of Xiao Zheng’s strength. They knew that although Xiao Zheng was powerful, there was no way he could defeat Long Qie so easily. However, the scene before them left them all shocked.

Could it be... Xiao Zheng had broken through?

With this thought surging in their minds, they were immediately filled with joy.

"Mr. Xiao, that was too harsh of a strike." At this moment, Long Qie, covered in dust, got up from the ground, smiled wryly, and said, "That palm of yours was really powerful!"

Everyone laughed heartily.

"Boss, have you... broken through?" Catherine asked.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Xiao Zheng with expectant expressions.

There was no doubt that if Xiao Zheng had truly broken through, their chances of victory in the upcoming battles would be significantly higher!

Xiao Zheng nodded and smiled, "I have broken through to the realm of the Martial Saint."

The sound of gasping echoed throughout the crowd.

Martial Saint?

Martial Saint!

For everyone present, those two words, Martial Saint, were even more weighty than Taishan; that was the realm all cultivators in the Martial Arts World dreamt of reaching. Generally, even the most talented cultivators would take at least forty to fifty years to break through.

Moreover, this process inevitably accompanied countless fortuitous encounters.

Yet Xiao Zheng broke through to this realm in his twenties, which, if spread, would cause an earth-shaking upheaval in the Martial Arts World, inciting an enormous sensation.

Even legendary cultivators like Dharma and Zhang Sanfeng probably couldn’t achieve such a feat at Xiao Zheng’s age.

Yet Xiao Zheng smiled faintly. Martial Saint? If it weren’t for the factor of his inherited injury, how could he possibly stop at Martial Saint? What he was showing was merely his lower limit.

"How long has it been?" Xiao Zheng collected his smile, expression turning sober as he asked.

It was a time of war, and he had to have an accurate grasp of time, but in his previous cultivation state, Xiao Zheng had been unable to sense the passage of time in the outside world.

"Three days," Catherine replied.

"What, it’s been three days already?" Xiao Zheng was startled; in his own perception, the cultivation earlier seemed to have lasted no more than a day.

"Time truly flies when cultivating." Xiao Zheng shook his head and then asked, "How is the preparation on various fronts?"

As he walked towards the control room of Sky Net, he instructed, "Inform me of all detailed situations."

"Yes."

Everyone nodded.

Then Catherine, following behind Xiao Zheng, explained in an organized manner, "Firstly, for intelligence, over the past few days, Gongsun Wuliang has collaborated with Futu’s intelligence department, doing a lot of work and has identified the exact location of Sky Net’s headquarters."

"Excellent, that’s a great accomplishment. Catherine, allocate military merits to Gongsun Wuliang and his team according to the military merit allocation rules," Xiao Zheng said with a smile at such good news.

"Secondly, in terms of military affairs, the three thousand people led by Dugu Baitian, sent by Futu, have arrived. Over the past few days, they have undergone integration with the Sky Net army led by Long Qie and Titan, and the progress has been quite good," Catherine continued.

Long Qie interjected at this moment, "Mr. Xiao, you wouldn’t believe how terrifying Dugu Baitian is. Titan and I could barely hold out for a few moves against him when combined."

Xiao Zheng smiled slightly. Dugu Baitian was akin to a young king of a similar level as him, whose domain had reached the quasi-Martial Saint tier. Long Qie and Titan, still being Grandmasters, naturally couldn’t contend with him.

But that didn’t mean Long Qie and Titan were weak. Firstly, they hadn’t received much from Sky Net’s resources for cultivation, and secondly, Dugu Baitian had already surpassed commonality, reaching around the same monstrous level as Xiao Zheng.

"How have you evaluated our military strength, the number of warriors, and combat capability?" Xiao Zheng then asked a very precise question.

Catherine replied, "Currently, the Sky Net warriors number fifty thousand. Of these fifty thousand, ten thousand are the core, and the remaining forty thousand are somewhat less proficient. The core ten thousand almost all have Peak Soldier King level strength, while the other forty thousand are at the level of special forces."

"And the three thousand men led by Dugu Baitian are all elite, with average strength extremely high, nearly every one of them can be considered a Peak Soldier King. Additionally, there are many Innate Masters among them!"
