"Please tell me, Master Lei," Meng Chao said.
"As long as it's within my abilities, I will definitely do my best."
"I have gathered quite a few practitioners of psionic martial arts here. They are either the mainstays of their respective professions or talented seedlings. In the past, I always liked to instruct them personally — it was not just to help them improve their combat ability, it was also a very enjoyable experience for myself."
Lei Zongchao sighed softly and looked at his slightly abnormal left pinky. "Unfortunately, as my death rate keeps increasing, I no longer have the energy to guide them one by one. Otherwise, I would have been reduced to ashes at any moment.
"I'm not afraid of death. After going through such a long and difficult life, death is a form of release.
But the monster civilization hasn't been destroyed yet, and the situation in the Other World beyond Monster Mountain Range isn't clear either. I still want to live a few more days and protect Dragon City for a period of time.
"So, Meng Chao, can you be my temporary teaching assistant? Over the next few months, can you help me teach Divine Nine Dragon Seals and more of the secrets of martial arts to the people outside?"
"This is …"
Meng Chao was stunned.
Of course, it was not because Lei Zongchao's offer was too harsh.
Instead, it was because he was being treated too well.
No, this was not a deal at all. It was a great benefit.
Even elementary school students knew that the best way to learn a subject was to memorize it before they tried to teach it to other elementary school students.
During the process of teaching, their brain cells were repeatedly refined, and they could continuously gain a deeper understanding of the subject and use it flexibly.
Besides, if he became Lei Zongchao's teaching assistant, Meng Chao could follow this legendary martial arts legend day and night and learn all of his amazing martial arts.
Lei Zongchao taught everyone regardless of background and had long since uploaded all the secrets of martial arts and cultivation videos to the internet.
He had also authorized the martial arts courses and life science majors of various universities to set up corresponding courses.
But the effect of learning from the Battle God was not something that could be compared to online livestreams.
Besides, Meng Chao was not an ordinary person. Lei Zongchao's suggestion provided him with an additional benefit.
It has to be known that when he taught martial arts and guided Dragon Citizens, he could get contribution points.
The more profound the martial arts he taught were, the more contribution points he could get.
For example, when he first taught high school students the future version of Reckless Bull Technique, each student could get around one to two contribution points per lesson.
If it was the Battle God's personal disciple and the original Divine Nine Dragon Seals, how many contribution points could he get?
The more Meng Chao thought about it, the more excited he became.
The sound of an astronomical number of Contribution Points turning into Crystal Coins rang out in his mind.
"Master Lei, if you really think that I'm qualified to inherit your Martial Way Profoundness, then I will definitely not decline or retreat!"
Meng Chao clenched his fists. He felt as if there was a burning line of fire surging through his stomach, chest, and throat, causing each of his words to be as powerful as burning steel needles. "I will do my best so that more people can practice your martial arts. One of these days, the name of the Battle God will ring through the entire Other World!"
"The entire … Other World?"
Lei Zongchao grinned and did not comment on it. He changed the topic. "By the way, I can't help you with the investment project, because a few days ago, I completed something that countless people have dreamed of doing. Before I died, I spent all my savings!
"Haha! Right now, I'm really empty. I can't bring out a single cent. I even have to rely on the kids outside to pay for the medical fees I have to soak in gene concentrate every day. That's why you're looking for the wrong person.
"But ever since the Survival Committee was formed, I've taken in quite a number of orphans. I've also dug out quite a number of talented kids from the slums and the grass-roots squads of the Red Dragon Army. At that time, I still had money, and I didn't have any hobbies like eating, drinking, or playing, so I could only spend my money on these kids. They're all very hardworking, and after years of hard work, they have some achievements in their respective fields.
"I think you can talk to them about your project. I don't understand what business opportunities are hidden in the so-called 'tobacco' that looks like green foxtail grass, but it's possible that young people like you might have a common language."
Meng Chao was delighted.
The meaning behind Lei Zongchao's words was even better than directly investing in his project.
This meant that Lei Zongchao had brought him into a brand new circle — the circle of Battle God Palace.
This circle might not be as big as the Broken Star Club and Blue Home.
But the number and quality of the elites in the circle was definitely above the Broken Star Club and Blue Home.
Among the Battle God Palace members Meng Chao knew, there were some who held important positions in the Survival Committee, some who were worth billions, and some who were high-ranking officers in the Red Dragon Army.
They might not be Lei Zongchao's disciples, but they were indebted to him for teaching them, answering their questions, and even changing their fates.
Meng Chao obtained Lei Zongchao's endorsement.
Naturally, it was not difficult for him to obtain their acknowledgment.
His circle of connections instantly expanded by ten times.
Not only could he get a lot of investments and orders for his project, it would also be very beneficial for him.
It would also be very beneficial for him to lead Dragon City forward in the future.
"I understand, Master Lei. Thank you."
Meng Chao sucked in a deep breath and said in a low but firm voice, "Trust me, before long, these projects will bear fruit, and Dragon City's civilization will definitely advance by leaps and bounds. We'll change the Other World!"
"Then, I'll be waiting for you."
Lei Zongchao smiled and waved his hand laboriously. "Go. An Ran is still waiting for you outside. Have her bring you to greet the others. At this time tomorrow, come and find me here. I'll tell you more about the principles behind Divine Nine Dragon Seals and my personal experiences when I cultivate it."
His eyelids slowly drooped.
The water inlets around the cultivation cabin gushed out thick, black gene concentrate that was as black as ink. Gradually, it enveloped the old man whose skin was loose and who spoke feebly.
Lei Zongchao looked as if he had just soaked in a hot bath. He moaned in comfort and dozed off.
But in his daze, he started talking in his sleep. "I really want … to personally see all of you grow up. I want to see just how exciting the New Dragon City will become at that time …"
'You'll definitely have the chance!'
Meng Chao swore in his heart.
The path ahead of him was already very clear.
He would do everything he could to learn the secrets of the Battle God and train himself madly with the people in Battle God Palace.
Then, he would enter the ancient ruins to see whether he could find clues about his rebirth and curses or understand something that belonged solely to him as a Fire Relayer.
Next, he would naturally have to get rid of the monster civilization's mastermind.
In his previous life, Battle God Lei Zongchao had died during the final battle of the Monster War.
This time, since he had returned from the apocalypse, there was no need for the Battle God to take action.
Hence, Lei Zongchao would definitely have the chance to live for a long time and see Dragon City's civilization stand at the top of the Other World races and trample on all the monsters and monsters!
…
Meng Chao moved through the long tunnel and returned to the meditation hall in Battle God Palace. His blood was still boiling, and he was incredibly excited.
Even the employee of Battle God Palace, An Ran, was slightly stunned when she saw him. She said that compared to an hour ago, he had become a completely different person.
An Ran also said that over the past five years, it had been a long time since Lei Zongchao had talked to someone alone for more than two hours. By the looks of it, he really had high hopes for Meng Chao.
"I didn't lie to you, did I? Senior Brother Meng, Mr. Lei is really easy to talk to. Welcome to Battle God Palace!" An Ran said with a grin.
She told Meng Chao that the people in Battle God Palace did not care about their cultivation realms, positions, wealth, or fighting strength. They addressed each other as senior brothers and junior sisters. They were a united and loving family, and everyone was eagerly waiting for Meng Chao's arrival.
Meng Chao was a little stunned. 'Am I a member of Battle God Palace now?'
An Ran could see his puzzlement, so she shrugged and explained. Lei Zongchao did not like forming cliques, and he did not have any intention of building his own force of power. Battle God Palace was not an official organization either. It was just a name that everyone called it for fun.
But since the Battle God had taken a liking to them and they had inherited part of the Battle God's strength and spirit, they were naturally like-minded and wanted to fight for the rest of their lives to protect Dragon City. Then, wouldn't it be easier for everyone to fight together if they had a name?
"Teacher Lei doesn't like to use one's realm, power, and wealth to differentiate one's status. In his opinion, we only have one identity, which is to be an Earthling where everyone is equal. If you think the same way, I believe that you will definitely like the Martial God Palace," An Ran said with a smile.
Meng Chao scratched his head and nodded. "Mr. Lei is indeed different from the all-powerful Battle God I imagined him to be. I'm still a little dizzy right now. I can't believe that he gave me a gift."
"That's because you're the youngest person to receive a blood medal in Dragon City. You've made outstanding contributions to our city!"
An Ran snickered and whispered, "Mr. Lei doesn't just have one face. He treats people like you, who risk your life and give up everything for Dragon City without asking for anything in return, and he treats you as well as he can. He doesn't just give you whatever you ask for. He even cries and asks for cultivation techniques and resources to be shoved into your hands.
"When he treats people who view their cultivation realms and the interests of their companies as more important than Dragon City, he puts on a stern face and does things according to the rules. He's just exchanging things with equal value!
"As for the people who severely harm Dragon City's interests for their own selfish desires and commit heinous crimes … Hmph, it's only because Mr. Lei is old now. If it was around twenty years ago, these people would rather jump into the mouths of Apocalyptic Beasts than fall into Mr. Lei's hands!"
Her words made Meng Chao's face turn red.
'So, my persona is to risk my life and give up everything for Dragon City without asking for anything in return?'
Of course, he knew that he was not that kind of person.
He only worked so hard to make contributions because he wanted to get rid of the shadow of the apocalypse and because he had the contribution point system to help him.
But …
Since his persona was already set up, he could only grit his teeth and persevere. Even if he did not fit his persona perfectly, he could not let his persona crumble too much!
