Looting the life force of demons to forge a golden body Martial God-Chapter 391 - 379: Not a single idea? Equal treatment for all? Three questions

Chapter 391: Chapter 379: Not a single idea? Equal treatment for all? Three questions

Once again being fought over, Chu Feng was almost getting used to it and couldn’t be bothered to speak.

From what Zhong Kedi meant, the military merits he gained from sweeping through the Demon Clan camps at the Far East Defense Line helped lock in a military honor for Lin Zhong this year, making all three army commanders somewhat envious.

When it comes to matters of interest, spoken words hold little weight, and no one would listen to him anyway.

Moreover, since Lin Zhong hadn’t instructed him on whom to seek out before he came, he simply relaxed and waited for the commanders to reach a consensus on their own.

Watching the three commanders go back and forth in a fierce battle of words, he actually found it quite amusing.

Unfortunately, his leisure was immediately noticed by the commanders. Li Zhong directly asked, "Captain Chu, what are your thoughts? Let’s hear them!"

Chu Feng: "..."

No, not a single thought.

You three deities have your own battles—just don’t drag me into it. My small frame can’t withstand it.

He replied, "The first duty of a soldier is to obey orders. I will follow the commands of my superiors."

Lu Jin, dissatisfied, slapped the table and said, "Young man, how can you have no thoughts? Come to me, I’ll give you full support!"

Zhong Kedi also said, "Come to my side. Whatever Lin can give you, I can too. I don’t care about the process, just the results. How about that?"

"..."

Chu Feng, smiling, eyes on his nose and nose on his heart, stayed mute.

Li Zhong, getting a headache from the other two arguing, suddenly had a stroke of insight. He knocked on the table, drawing everyone’s gaze.

He simple stated, "Stop fighting. How about this: we give Captain Chu two months, each of our armies 20 days. That should suffice, right?"

Lu Jin pondered, "Sharing equally? That’s not a bad idea... Captain Chu, in 20 days, how many camps can you sweep?"

Chu Feng thought for a moment, and replied, "The actual speed would depend on the accuracy of the intelligence and the speed of travel.

"During my time at the Far East Defense Line, about half of the time was spent exploring.

"Besides, I’ve heard that the scale of camps here in the Eastern War Zone is bigger, and that they have formed mature military camps with stronger Demon Clan members stationed within.

"These would all pose obstacles for me... My pace might be slower than it was at the Far East Defense Line."

The three commanders calculated silently, their eyes lighting up.

Zhong Kedi spoke gravely, "So you’re saying, with accurate intelligence, ample supplies, and swift action, being a bit aggressive, you could level a camp in two days?"

Chu Feng thought it over and nodded.

Zhong Kedi’s eyes sparkled, as he exclaimed, "That’s very efficient!"

Immediately, Chu Feng added, "It would require a large amount of targeted poison and a detailed battle plan, and sometimes the help of warriors and even top experts from the army to distract the Demon Clan’s attention for me."

Li Zhong instantly decided, laughing, "As long as we plan ahead, the 20 days will be enough to sweep through nearly ten camps!

"So it’s decided—Captain Chu Feng will for the next two months guide work for 20 days each in my Second Army, Third Army, and Fifth Army!

"Captain Chu, any objections to this?"

Chu Feng raised his hand and asked, "I have three small questions!

"Firstly, Commander Li, I would like to ask if staying here for two months complies with the military orders. The orders are issued by the headquarters, and I dare not defy them! freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"Besides, what should we do if the Central War Zone and the Western War Zone ask about it?"

The meaning of his words was clear—he couldn’t afford the cost of disobeying military orders.

To have him stay here for an extended period, we’ll have to shoulder the questioning from headquarters and handle the demands from the Central War Zone and the Western War Zone.

The only reason he could make such a request is that he’s tremendously skilled and courageous, brimming with confidence, and shares no close ties with the military leaders of the three armies.

If you’re not willing to bear the brunt for him, even if he strictly follows military orders and leaves after a month, no one could fault him for anything.

Upon hearing this, Li Zhong laughed and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll speak to headquarters. As for the Central and Western War Zones, with a directive from headquarters, they won’t have much to say!"

Chu Feng nodded slightly reassured and then spoke again, "Commanders, I still have another concern.

"Due to the nature of my combat style, I need a great deal of autonomy and the authority to command the rescue of experts in emergency situations.

"Can you satisfy these needs of mine?"

"..."

The three commanders exchanged glances, and Zhong Kedi was the first to say bluntly, "I have no issues on my end, you have the autonomy; I only want results!"

Li Zhong and Lu Jin pondered for a moment, then each gave their assent.

A smile appeared on Chu Feng’s face as he said, "That’s great, thank you for your trust, Commanders!"

At this point, Lu Jin asked in a serious tone, "Captain Chu, there’s one issue, can this unique combat style of yours be popularized within the army?"

He added, "It’s not that I’m coveting your martial technique, but our military has regulations. You can disclose your martial techniques for a fee, and if other warriors want to learn, they must exchange military merits for it."

Chu Feng’s combat achievements were so astonishing that he naturally wanted to replicate this miracle.

Not just him, Li Zhong and Zhong Kedi also perked up their ears.

But Chu Feng’s response disappointed them.

Chu Feng shook his head and said, "I’ve explained this to Commander Lin Zhong and Commander Xu Tianci of the Demon Annihilation Army after the first extermination of the camp.

"The core of my tactics is actually based on something akin to Sword Qi that I’ve realized from the Martial Technique ’Rapid Wind Steps’; I call it a ’trait’.

"The commanders should understand how Sword Qi comes about. If someone can practice the Gale Step to such a level, naturally, they can master the corresponding trait!"

"..."

The three commanders fell silent.

Sword Qi, of course they knew about it. It was a miraculous method, comprehensible only when a practitioner of a sword-related martial technique reached an amazing realm of unity between the swordsman and the sword.

The most difficult aspect is that Sword Qi involves the profound power of the spirit, unbound by one’s realm and more elusive than the Martial Dao True Meaning.

Moreover, its formation conditions are incredibly stringent; a cultivator must dedicate themselves to a single swordsmanship method, aligning perfectly with the swordsmanship’s state of mind, to have a chance of realization.

Being dedicated to a single martial technique is unrealistic in the ever-evolving world of Martial Arts because dedication also implies specialization, leading to weaknesses.

Whether soldiers survive on the battlefield depends not on how many strengths they have, but if they have vulnerabilities in their abilities.

To cover these weaknesses, one must learn multiple martial techniques, which runs counter to the path of realizing Sword Qi.

The only exceptions nowadays are the "Sword Masters" among civilians who don’t need to join the battlefield and have spent decades single-mindedly studying one form of swordsmanship.

Otherwise, only those high-level practitioners who, according to their conditions, craft a unique sword technique from a loftier perspective, stand a chance to master Sword Qi.

Thus, the three commanders had no choice but to abandon the idea with regret.

With a chuckle, Li Zhong asked, "There’s another question, Captain Chu, please go ahead."

Without any hesitation, Chu Feng asked directly, "My third question is about the distribution of military merits..."
