148: It turned out that the principal was behind the plot

Old Wu's words immediately made everyone present look solemn; they understood the gravity of the situation, as their Families had reached a stage of life and death.

A slight misstep would lead to the annihilation of their Family.

"Old Wu, if we also offer all our Family assets, can our Family disciples truly get the chance to join the Qilin Battle Team?"

Those present were not fools.

They clearly understood what a Battle Team meant, especially one formed by a strong individual with the strength of a Martial King.

Coupled with Old Wu's earlier words,

the higher-ups intended to support Yu Xiu as Marshal.

If this was true,

then Yu Xiu would have a place in the No Mans Land in the future.

And if their Family disciples could successfully join the Qilin Battle Team, then they themselves would also have the Opportunity to settle in the No Mans Land.

"I cannot be certain, nor can I give you any guarantees."

Old Wu shook his head and said, "However, where there's a will, there's a way. Regardless of whether there's an Opportunity, you must first act. If you don't act, then don't even talk about Opportunity. We will only be waiting for death."

Everyone fell silent for a moment, then someone immediately spoke up, "Old Wu, I am also willing to offer all my Family assets and gamble on this Opportunity."

"I am also willing to take a gamble."

"We are also willing."

As everyone present spoke one after another, Old Wu nodded and said, "In that case, once Yu Xiu returns to the Capital, I will represent all of you and make a trip to Huaxia University to talk with Yu Xiu."

"Thank you, Old Wu!"

"We appreciate your efforts, Old Wu!"

Everyone stood up to express their gratitude, and Old Wu also got up and left the manor.

It wasn't until Old Wu got into a black luxury car that the others dispersed.

"Hey, Shen!"

As the car started, Old Wu took out his communicator and made a call.

A few seconds later, Old Wu immediately burst into hearty laughter, "You old fox, you're truly cunning. Using the relic assessment on the full moon night, those people were indeed scared."

"It has been implemented as planned. More than half of the third-rate and above Families in the Capital are willing to dedicate all their Family assets to Yu Xiu."

"You old fox, you promised me that my boys could join the Qilin Battle Team."

"If you dare to break your word, I will definitely fight you to the death, even if the higher-ups blame me, I won't be done with you."

"Alright, I'll go to Huaxia University tomorrow. You can arrange the specific matters from now on."

After hanging up the communicator, in the President's office of Huaxia University, the Dean of the Martial Arts Academy asked, "Did this really succeed?"

The President of Huaxia University said disdainfully, "You don't even look at who I am. Under my planning, they are like trapped beasts fighting for survival; they have no choice but to agree."

"Old Wu said that more than half of the third-rate and above Families in the Capital have already expressed their willingness to dedicate all their Family assets to Yu Xiu."

"This time, not only can we complete the task from the higher-ups, but we can also help Yu Xiu make a fortune. It's simply perfect!"

The Dean of the Martial Arts Academy frowned and said, "This is a task from the higher-ups. We are helping Yu Xiu accumulate wealth; won't the higher-ups have an opinion?"

"Opinion?"

The President of Huaxia University snorted coldly, "Do they expect Yu Xiu to help for free?"

"Yu Xiu is providing the people for the Qilin Battle Team, and Yu Xiu is doing the work in the relic. If they don't offer benefits, we'll take the benefits ourselves."

"Do you really think we're fools, letting them take the benefits while we put in all the effort for nothing?"

The Dean of the Martial Arts Academy sighed, "Is this really good? Won't it affect Yu Xiu?"

The President of Huaxia University snorted coldly, "What kind of effect could it have? They are merely leaders in China, executing orders from their superiors. In the end, Yu Xiu puts in all the effort, and they take all the credit without wanting to contribute anything?"

"Effect? Yu Xiu is a Martial King, no, Yu Xiu is now a Martial Emperor. Let them try to find trouble with Yu Xiu if they have the guts."

"Do you think they have the courage?"

"These people have no ability whatsoever. If it weren't for a few high-ranking officials in the Cabinet making arrangements in China before they left, with their capabilities, China would have probably become the territory of those wealthy Families long ago."

The Dean of the Martial Arts Academy nodded, "I understand what you mean. I'm just worried that the Cabinet might be dissatisfied with Yu Xiu."

"Even though Yu Xiu now says he only wants to protect his relatives and Family, with his personality, if he wants to Breakthrough to a higher Realm, he will eventually go to the No Mans Land."

"Once the Cabinet is dissatisfied with Yu Xiu, he will find it difficult to move an inch in the No Mans Land."

The President of Huaxia University chuckled, "You, Old Jiang, do you really think I wouldn't consider these things?"

"I'll tell you secretly, the Cabinet intends to support Yu Xiu. If Yu Xiu performs well in the future, he might be conferred the title of Marshal."

"Currently, Yu Xiu is a hot commodity in the eyes of the Cabinet. Will they blame Yu Xiu?"

"Let me put it this way, the Cabinet has now placed all their guilt towards Chu Crazy onto Yu Xiu, do you understand?"

"Yu Xiu now shares both prosperity and adversity with Chu Crazy. The Cabinet's help to Yu Xiu is, firstly, because they see his potential, and secondly, it is an indirect way to compensate Chu Crazy."

"Marshal?"

The Dean of the Martial Arts Academy was immediately shocked.

An expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

"Yu Xiu now has his own Battle Team! If he is also conferred the title of Marshal, with the dual status, this means Yu Xiu can command an independent army of 100,000 men."

"Moreover, this independent army of 100,000 men is not subject to the Cabinet's deployment."

"Hiss—this power is immense!"

"It is indeed immense!"

The President of Huaxia University nodded with a solemn expression, "Immense power also means there will be many people who are envious and jealous."

"Although Chu Crazy is now confined to Qin Province, he still has many enemies."

"Now Yu Xiu and Chu Crazy are in the same boat; once Yu Xiu's power becomes immense, there will be a lot of trouble."

"Of course, Opportunity and danger coexist. You wouldn't not understand this principle, would you?"

"If Yu Xiu's strength increases rapidly, when he enters the No Mans Land with the strength of a Martial Saint or Martial God, I believe the crisis will not pose much of a threat to him."

"If coupled with this immense power, Yu Xiu will certainly be a regional lord."

"At that time, it wouldn't be impossible for Yu Xiu to occupy a domain in the No Mans Land."

Domain?

The Dean of the Martial Arts Academy gasped.

A domain is a Small World.

People speak of Martial Gods.

But one of the conditions for a Martial God's Breakthrough is the Fusion of a World Heart.

The God of a Realm.

That is the origin of a Martial God.

At that time, with a domain as the Foundation, developing his forces, the members of the Qilin Battle Team would also improve more and more rapidly.

A hundred thousand independent troops?

If Chu Tianjiao and these people could Breakthrough to Martial Saint or Martial God, how immense would Yu Xiu's power be?

The Dean of the Martial Arts Academy no longer dared to imagine.

"You have a point."

The Dean of the Martial Arts Academy composed himself and sighed, "Yu Xiu is deeply hidden; perhaps Martial Emperor is not his true strength."

"Although the higher-ups intend to use Yu Xiu as a tool, Yu Xiu's strength is the fundamental source for obtaining Opportunity."

"When the tool rises and becomes a behemoth, that will be interesting."

The President of Huaxia University said, "The Cabinet also has this intention; they also hope that Yu Xiu can become a behemoth. In fact, the Cabinet is also gambling on Yu Xiu's future potential."
