My beautiful CEO wife

Zhu Chanji discussed with Xiao Zheng and then returned, mainly to prepare to mobilize manpower, prepare the Southern Barbarian Vine Armor, and arrange to share intelligence from the Demon Shield Bureau with Sky Net, aiming to determine the location of the Demon Shield Bureau’s main base within these few days.

Xiao Zheng only knew that the main base of the Demon Shield Bureau was at the North Pole, but he wasn’t sure exactly where, so further investigation was necessary.

Xiao Zheng delegated this task to Gongsun Wuliang, who was responsible for intelligence, instructing him to pay attention to Futu’s provided information while gathering intelligence.

Long Qie was within Sky Net preparing troops and planning battle strategies. Titan’s injuries had mostly healed, so he and Long Qie prepared together, with him being Long Qie’s deputy.

The two had been collaborating for a long time and had great mutual understanding, so this preparation process went exceptionally smoothly.

Catherine also awoke at this time and had recovered well. She was like the head of operations within Sky Net, and after she woke up, the efficiency of Sky Net’s operations, material transportation, communication between various sections, etc., at least improved fivefold!

Xiao Zheng didn’t handle anything.

He had an agreement with Futu that once everything was ready and they found the location of the main base, they would immediately attack.

Therefore, during this period, Xiao Zheng went all out in cultivation, aiming to improve his strength during this time.

Xiao Zheng knew that the future decisive battle would certainly be very difficult, completely unsure of what terrifying methods the Demon Shield Bureau possessed. Only by further enhancing his strength would he have a greater chance of victory.

"Actually, both my realm and cultivation have long reached the level of a Martial Saint." In a secret chamber at Sky Net headquarters, Xiao Zheng was lost in thought, seeking a path to breakthrough.

"However, due to the presence of my heritage injury, every time I use power exceeding the quasi-Martial Saint level, I am countered by the heritage injury. So, to break through in a short time, I must focus on the heritage injury. As long as I can suppress it, I can exert greater strength."

Xiao Zheng’s eyes gleamed with a faint light.

He already had an idea in mind.

Some time ago, when he was in Zhonghai, Xiao Zheng had several encounters with the Demon Shield Bureau. Since he didn’t want to engage the Demon Shield Bureau head-on at that time, he found himself in very passive situations several times, having to use power exceeding the quasi-Martial Saint level, thus being countered by his heritage injury multiple times.

But after that, Xiao Zheng discovered that the heritage injury seemed to have vanished. For instance, when he entered the Nibelungen Secret Realm, he definitely used power beyond the quasi-Martial Saint level, yet the heritage injury did not react at all.

"This might indicate a problem." Xiao Zheng took a deep breath, thinking to himself, "The previous outbursts of the heritage injury were all suppressed by the power of the Golden Bone within me, which might have greatly depleted the power of the heritage injury."

"As long as I use force exceeding the limit again, letting the heritage injury see an opportunity to appear again, and then suppress it with the power of the golden bone, I might be able to completely suppress it! Thus, able to use more powerful forces at will thereafter."

However, after having this idea, Xiao Zheng did not act immediately; he was somewhat hesitant because this was only a hypothesis.

If this hypothesis was wrong, the consequences would be very dangerous. He would be completely consumed by the heritage injury, possibly dying in this secret chamber.

But if he did not do it, there would never be hope of breaking through to the Martial Saint realm!

Of course, if he found the Golden Bone, he could naturally and safely suppress the heritage injury, but the Golden Bone’s trace in this world was very hidden and not so easy to find, especially in such a short few days!

Therefore, after much consideration, the final method was to take a gamble.

Xiao Zheng took a deep breath, eyes showing determination, no longer hesitating, and with a low shout began to mobilize the power within himself.

He wanted to break through here!

Above the Grandmaster, is the Martial Saint.

At the Grandmaster Realm, the Gang Qi within was numerically much higher than that of someone at the Innate Realm.

If Innate Martial Artists’ Gang Qi within was like a small pond, then the Gang Qi within a Grandmaster was a lake, with a chasm-like gap between the two!

A Grandmaster, even a beginner Grandmaster, can crush the Innate without suspense because the Gang Qi within is abundant, and every movement is powerful and earth-shattering.

Another feature of Grandmasters is their exquisite control over Gang Qi!

For instance, an Innate Master is like an art student who just graduated, able to use tools in hand to create some brilliant works.

A Grandmaster is a master-level figure! Even with the same tools, they can easily create works sold for hundreds of thousands to millions.

The gap between a Martial Saint and a Grandmaster is even larger!

A Martial Saint is almost like an immortal on earth.

Once one breaks into this realm, even alone, any power must have fear.

For instance, when Xiao Zheng attacked the Huashan Sect, afterward, one of the reasons the Huashan Sect withdrew, besides being deeply afraid due to Xiao Zheng’s strength, was because a mysterious Martial Saint went up the mountain that day to intercede for Xiao Zheng.

One person’s words could make the large Huashan Sect buy face and comply obediently.

This is the terror of a Martial Saint, this is the might of a Martial Saint, this is the status of a Martial Saint!

And why such terror, might, status exists is because upon breaking through to the Martial Saint, one’s power experiences an earth-shattering transformation, completely reaching a new level!

At the Martial Saint Realm, the Gang Qi within a martial artist undergoes a peculiar change, from gas to liquid.

This counts as a qualitative change.

Once the Gang Qi within is liquefied, though its volume reduces, its power increases tenfold, a hundredfold.

It’s like the same weight of iron turned into a deadly long sword or left unshaped; the sword certainly poses a greater, more terrifying threat.

Xiao Zheng had long been able to convert his Gang Qi into liquid, but due to the heritage injury, he dared not do so.

Now, he decided to take a gamble!

"Win and live, lose and die!"

Xiao Zheng’s gaze was piercing!
