Chapter 296: Complete success

Chapter 296: Complete success

When the lights in the theater lit up again, everyone was filled with excitement. That plot had been too splendid and that super intense visual stimulus, those dry plays could not compare to it at all.

No matter whose mind or sense it was, everyone had experienced an unprecedented baptism!

After watching the entire story, everyone felt very satisfied as if they had personally gone on this terrifying adventure. They had also felt a bit empty because they had not had enough yet.

"It ended like this?"

"I haven't seen enough yet!"

"Did the brave hero and princess live together in the end?"

"This is a movie? It truly is too satisfying!"

"The Wang Family is so hateful. I will break ties with the Wang Family!"

"That's right. There is also the Nangong Family….."

"Pei! Shut up. Do you not want your life anymore!"

"..."

How could these spiritually impoverished people have experienced this kind of beautiful entertainment before? It was like a drug, they would not be able to stop once they had a taste!

These movies would also have a slight influence on people. For example, the main character was based off of Chu Tian and he was portrayed as a determined, strong, and responsible soldier. Now that the true Chu Tian was standing in front of them, people couldn't help comparing to the main character in the movie, so their view of him was a lot better.

Following the same line of thought, Wang Tu and Zuo Yan, they weren't the final enemy in the movie, but they were portrayed as selfish and insensitive. They had even attacked the main character several times. This filled people with rage and several people couldn't help swearing at them. There were even a few who did so in a not so soft voice.

Everyone was deeply infatuated with the theater!

They began to worry.

What if they couldn't see movies anymore? After all, a movie had a high investment and it seemed like it was impossible to recover this in profits in a short period of time.

Chu Tian had a faint smile as he walked onto the stage to talk to everyone, "Various guests, the show has already ended. I wonder, is everyone satisfied with this show?"

"Chu Tian is too handsome!" A beautiful aristocrat girl called out, "You are now my idol!"

A young master then shouted, "Are you making more movies? Just this one is not satisfy me! I like to see more of the princess!"

"If you're willing to continue, this old man is willing to help!" A white bearded old man stood up and said, "I will invest ten million gold coins!"

"I will invest five million!"

"I will also invest..."

The enthusiasm these people had surpassed Chu Tian's expectations and was the result Chu Tian wanted to see. Chu Tian used a speaker to say, "Everyone, no need to be anxious. Miracle Commerce is a company with a sense of responsibility. Since we've decided to start this project, of course we will do it well and continue doing it. So, there is no need to worry. We will continue making movies to satisfy the entertainment needs of the Southern Summer Country citizens!"

"Good!"

"You really are a good man!"

The aristocrats were very satisfied with Chu Tian's answers and were full of praise towards Chu Tian. They finally bid farewell to the Southern Summer King with satisfied hearts and left.

The Southern Summer King looked pensive, "What do you three think?"

"Miracle Commerce grasping this technique, I'm afraid they now possess a terrifying method of generating revenue. From the current situation, the ticket price of twenty gold coins each time is not much, but everyone has forgotten a single question. With Miracle Commerce's ambition, would they promote this only in Imperial City? If they were to build one-two theaters in the Main Cities of the eight states, then their profit would increase by four-five times instantly. If they were to build one in each city….." The Refined Ruler said this and then looked at the source energy canned food in front of him, "Not to mention the other expenses in the theater. The profit that comes from this would be hard to imagine."

The Calm Martial Ruler gave a light appraisal, "This image storing technique has prospects, it can be used for more than just entertainment."

"You're right." The Refined Ruler said in a sinister voice, "Chu Tian uses the movies to brainwash people, molding a glorious figure for himself and painting people that have grudges against him black. Today he targeted the Wang Family and the Nangong Family's minister, tomorrow he might even target us, or he might finally even target the Southern Summer King….."

The Calm Martial Ruler revealed a frown, "I'm not talking about this."

"But, he really does have this ability!" The Refined Ruler said this and did not continue, "Burning Sun Ruler, what do you think?"

The Refined Ruler was thinking.

The Burning Sun Ruler must be filled with rage at this moment.

With his violent temper, how could he endure this kind of thing?

"Eh….." Who would have thought that the Burning Sun Ruler would be in a daze. He reacted after a while and said two words in a row, "Good, good. Not bad, these movies are quite interesting. Even this old man was a bit fascinated watching them."

The Refined Ruler looked at him, "Did you not see that Chu Tian used this chance to insult your Nangong Family?"

"Zuo Yan does not represent my Nangong Family." The Burning Sun Ruler became very magnanimous at this moment, "These movies has its originality. This ruler also thinks it should be promoted."

"Humph! The Southern Summer Country's north side is being oppressed by the War Hounds Tribe, how could the people think about entertainment?" The Refined Ruler was feeling very dissatisfied, "Once these movies spread, my Southern Summer Country's citizens will be enraptured by this and will pursue a life of entertainment. If this continues, the country will become weak and how will we stop the War Hounds Tribe?"

"The Refined Ruler is wrong on this." The Calm Martial Ruler spoke out, "If these movies are used correctly, they will not install a life of pleasure, but rather implant bravery and loyalty to one's countries in our citizens."

"Don't quarrel." The Southern Summer King impatiently said, "No matter what, the story is good. Since it appeared, then it has value in existing. However, there must be a bottom line. This king will be implementing a set of rules that will not allow them to discredit any real life people or families."

The Refined Ruler could not understand what the Southern Summer King was thinking.

The king did not hate Chu Tian, but with the current Chu Tian's influence, was he going to watch him grow like this? Was he going to remain indifferent to this? This was not like the Southern Summer King's personality.

"This king will make a decision after considering it. You three rulers can head back first." The Southern Summer King sent off the Three Rulers and then said to his guards, "Have Gaoran come to the palace to see me!"

"Ah?" This guard said in a shocked voice, "The prince is in closed door cultivation!"

"Closed door, closed door, only knowing how to cultivate. His brain has gone rotten from cultivating, what use does a high cultivation have? The Calm Martial Ruler has a higher cultivation than this king, but didn't this king become the king in the end?" The Southern Summer King was a bit dissatisfied, "Have him come out!"

"Yes!"

The Southern Summer King softly stroked his beard while his eyes were filled with thoughts.

After the first showing ended, the people in the four theaters were filled with joy. When the left the theater, the entire Imperial City was seething with excitement. This type of fire quickly spread, affecting all of the people in Imperial City. People were very curious and they all liked following trends.

Especially after the news spread that the Southern Summer King had led the Three Rulers and other peak characters to watch a show at Miracle Commerce. This celebrity effect caused a stir, like a flame falling into a barrel of oil!

The Southern Summer King even said it was good after watching, so how could it be bad?

The Three Rulers had all come together to watch it, so would you not watch it?

Miracle Commerce's broadcast station sent out the news and caused a stir among the citizens. Now tickets were even hard to obtain with the auctions for reserved seats reaching speculations of several tens of thousands of gold coins!

The theater ended business late at night.

In a single day, there was not a single empty seat.

At night, Miracle Commerce held an urgent meeting. Meng Yingying read out today's reports with a smile that almost made her mouth turn crooked, "The tickets we sold today reached five-six hundred gold coins and there was over two million spent on consumption inside the theaters. The total sales for a single day is at least two and half million gold coins. My god, this is over ten times my estimates!"

"The king reserved a theater for ten times the price and brought all the aristocrats, consuming products in large quantities, so of course it is higher than normal." Meng Qingwu did not care about this small profit. Now that Miracle Commerce had abundant funds, she was not anxious to recoup their losses, "There are not enough theaters right now, I'm waiting for when we have more theaters. We need to build many more theaters right now!"

Chu Tian expressed his support.

Actually it wasn't important how much money was made. The most important thing was that Chu Tian wanted to see what kind of effect this method of entertainment would have on the Southern Summer Country after it was popularized.

"How about this, we'll manufacture some special souvenirs!" Chu Tian thought about it and said, "We'll put the video disk, magnetic sound plate, phonograph, and light image mirror into a single package, made specially for showing movies." Chu Tian closed his eyes and thought it over for a few seconds, "We'll call this item a video player!"

The video disk recovered the image and the light image mirror referred to the mirror that played those images.

Chu Tian wanted to make an item that could play back sounds like the phonograph, but also had the ability to play images. This equipment just required one to put in the video disk and the magnetic sound plate, and they would be able to watch a broadcast like normal.

With how popular «Scarlet Blood War» was, there were many aristocrats that didn't get enough, so they would surely buy one to take home with them. Those smart merchants would buy them and ship them to far off cities, helping Miracle Commerce expand their influence!

This would also be a large source of income for the movie theaters!

After they confirmed their ideas, they immediately told Gu Qianqiu, letting the research team develop one immediately. The four technologies were all very well understood, so it was fine to combine them together. With Imperial City research institute's capabilities, this was not a hard thing to do!

"Chairman, there is someone outside asking for you!"

"Who is it?"

"I don't know, but that person came with the king's token. It might be someone the Southern Summer King sent."

"Southern Summer King's people? Then let them come in!"

Chu Tian was very busy and did not meet with normal people. Since this was someone sent by the Southern Summer King, he had to give the Southern Summer King some face.

A person wearing a black cloak came in. When he saw Chu Tian, he took off the cloak, revealing a chiseled, resolute face. His eyes shined like stars and he had a dignified appearance, with slightly dark skin that was bronze in colour. He had a small beard that wasn't well trimmed at the side. He looked to be very young, being around twenty seven-twenty eight years old.

"You are his excellency Chu Tian?" The black robed youth looked at Chu Tian, "I am Dongfang Haoran!"

"You are Dongfang Haoran?"

Everyone else was shocked.

Chu Tian did not know any Dongfang Haoran, but since he was surnamed Dongfang, he was certainly from the Dongfang Family. Was this Dongfang Haoran famous in the Dongfang Family?

Actually Chu Tian did not know that Dongfang Haoran was not famous, but rather very infamous. He was a prince and was the son the Southern Summer King had the highest regards of, with the highest possibility of inheriting the throne. Other than that, Dongfang Haoran had a ston innate talent, reaching the 9th Awakened Soul Layer before reaching thirty years old.

This Dongfang Haoran and the Wang Family big young master were considered the twin prides of Imperial City!

This nickname was no different from the Central State's Four Young Masters and also explained these two people's position in the Imperial City's younger generation. No one thought that Dongfang Haoran would personally come here. What was he here to do?

Chapter 297: Prince

Chapter 297: Prince

Dongfang Haoran was the prince the Dongfang Family had the highest regards for, growing up with a silver spoon since he was young and destiny had given him outstanding talents. Even compared to Chu Xinghe, he was not inferior. With the Dongfang Family's large background, Dongfang Haoran was one of the people receiving focused training.

Dongfang Haoran was only a few years older than Chu Xinghe, but his cultivation base far surpassed his, reaching the 9th Awakened Soul Layer!

Being so young and having this kind of power, it made those seniors who reached this level at seventy-eighty years old feel ashamed! With the Dongfang Family's full support, it was hard to estimate how far he would grow. It was certain that he would reach the True Spirit Realm and become the one supporting the next Dongfang Family generation!

Dongfang Haoran was not only an outstanding talent, the people of Imperial City all knew he was a cultivation maniac!

"I am Chu Tian."

Chu Tian did not care who the other side was!

Meng Qingwu knew how strong the prince was and was afraid Chu Tian would anger him with his large mouth, so she took the initiative to say, "We did not know of the prince's arrival and did not prepare a reception. We hope you are not offended and ask you to come in."

"You don't have the qualification to speak to me." Dongfang Haoran coldly spoke to Meng Qingwu. His eagle like eyes were staring at Chu Tian, "I can't understand, how did Chu Xinghe lose to someone like you?"

Meng Qingwu revealed a slightly awkward expression.

Coming in contact with many people, especially those arrogant young masters, they all had different expressions in front of her. No matter what status those people had, in front of Meng Qingwu, they all revealed a look of greed her.

Only this Dongfang Haoran completely ignored Meng Qingwu. It was like Meng Qingwu was made of wood and did not have any attraction on him at all.

Dongfang Haoran softly said, "Since you can defeat Chu Xinghe, it means you're not an ordinary person. Why do you focus your attention on this kind of place, wasting your natural talent, doing all these meaningless things!"

Fuck.

His manner was too forceful!

Chu Tian looked at the straightforward prince in front of him. He saw a serious face without any other expressions, looking at Chu Tian with a gaze of disdain and companionship.

Dongfang Haoran already knew of Central State's Chu Xinghe and he felt that Chu Xinghe's talent was not inferior to his. However, in comparison, he was four-five years older and his family was stronger, so his cultivation far surpassed Chu Xinghe's. If Chu Xinghe came to Imperial City in the future, he would surely be entrusted with a heavy responsibility and receive focused training, allowing Chu Xinghe to quickly catch up to him!

This had a large significance to Dongfang Haoran!

Other than the Wang Family's Wang Tianlong, Dongfang Haoran could not find anyone who could match him in the same generation. He had high hopes for Chu Xinghe, but who would have thought that Chu Xinghe would be defeated by this sudden upstart? How could Dongfang Haoran not be depressed after losing an anticipated enemy?

Dongfang Haoran did not like Chu Tian's personality.

This fellow clearly had a very strong innate talent, but he started a company to make money. He could have become a bright cultivator, but he chose to become a merchant catering to the masses.

"I say, your highness." Chu Tian felt very strange, "We have no grudges between us, so why are you causing trouble for this Chu?"

"I'm causing trouble to warn you that a cultivator should not head onto the wrong path. Rather than living this way, you should let go of these useless things and make use of your talent and age."

"This prince seems to be someone who doesn't understand the real world!" Chu Tian laughed coldly, "I want to ask, when the prince began your cultivation, how many precious pills and resources did the Dongfang Family give you?"

Dongfang Haoran still said in a straightforward manner, "What are you asking this for!"

"Do you think everyone lives in the royal family like you? Do pills not cost money? Do resources not require money? Do cultivation techniques not require money? You treat your family giving you everything is natural. Is everyone nurtured and protected by elders just like you? Flowers that were grown in a greenhouse, they can only bloom bright in a vase. What qualifications do you have to mock the weeds grown in the wild?"

Dongfang Haoran's face sunk.

This was the first time someone called him a flower grown in a greenhouse.

Dongfang Haoran gave a cold laugh, "Do you think I don't know about you?"

Chu Tian shrugged, "I did not say this. If the prince thinks this, then it's not wrong."

Meng Qingwu felt her brows jump up.

This is bad, the prince was clearly someone with a brain made of muscles and now was being provoked by Chu Tian, it would be strange if he wasn't angry.

"Good, very good. The reputation of the Dongfang Family cannot be easily insulted." Dongfang Haoran's eyes revealed a look of anger, "Since you've said this, you should think about the consequences!"

"This is Miracle Commerce's headquarters!" Meng Qingwu anxiously said, "Is the prince thinking of bullying the weak with your strength?"

"No, I want to issue a fair challenge." Dongfang Haoran coldly said, "I will suppress my cultivation to the same level to fight with you. I want to see how strong a weed grown in a crevice is! Of course, you can choose not to accept, I will not make it hard for a coward!"

"Who dares to challenge boss!"

Before Chu Tian could speak, a reprimanding voice came from the distance.

Two people quickly came out, it was no one else but Meng Yingying and Nangong Yun. Nangong Yun had two exaggerated giant hammers in her hands, looking like a rogue.

"If you want to challenge our boss, then first defeat me!"

"You are Nangong Yun?" Dongfang Haoran had already forgotten about coming to find Chu Tian. Once he heard the word fight, he was strangely excited, "I heard that you have some skills, I hope you don't disappoint me!"

Nangong Yun looked over for confirmation, and Chu Tian nodded to show his support.

"Then have a taste of how strong your grandmother is!" Nangong Yun jumped out. With her second step, the ground was smashed to pieces and she shot out at full speed, "First have a taste of my hammer!"

Such quick and explosive power!

Such strong destructive might!

Dongfang Haoran had already suppressed his cultivation base to the same level, but did not dare be negligent in this situation. A purple energy was released from his body and condensed within his hands.

Dong!

Nangong Yun's heavy hammer slammed down.

The purple energy in Dongfang Haoran's hands condensed into a giant hammer, completely made of energy that instantly blocked Nangong Yun's hammer strike. The burning heat melted the ground around them.

The two hammers clashed again!

Another explosive sound rang out.

A large part of the ground was shattered and they both took several steps back.

Nangong Yun suffered a greater loss, but Nangong Yun had the Diamond Body Starlight Immortal Body, so she charged forward without any hesitation.

Dongfang Haoran's face sunk.

Nangong Yun did not have any reputation in Imperial City, but she had this kind of strength?

Although Dongfang Haoran had suppressed his cultivation, he was confident in fighting people of the same level. Even if he was skipping levels, it was not certain he would lose. Nangong Yun had a low position in the Nangong Family, so her attainment in «Burning the Heavens Art» should not be high. Dongfang Haoran was the exact opposite, having a high position in the Dongfang Clan, so his «Grand Spirit Art» had already reached the perfection realm.

They were equal?

Although Dongfang Haoran's attack was stronger, Nangong Yun had cultivated a protection cultivation technique, so neither side had received any substantial damage.

"Your strength is considered alright." Dongfang Haoran coldly said, "But it's only so-so!"

Nangong Yun was filled with anger, wildly slamming down with her giant hammers. Dongfang Haoran was very quick as the purple hammer turned into spear, swiftly moving to Nangong Yun's side. That spear was like a venomous snake as it coldly sent a bite forward.

"If you have skills, then don't dodge!"

The flames around the giant hammer turned into golden flames. This flame was not the same as before and when Nangong Yun turned, it transformed into an image of a golden phoenix.

"Watch my Falling Phoenix Strikes!"

Under Nangong Yun's full strength, the golden phoenix fell like a meteor.

This was the flame of the divine phoenix, Nangong Yun had improved in the «Great Nirvana Scripture»!

Dongfang Haoran understood just how strong these golden flames were and that they could not be easily blocked. The spear bounced off the ground and he quickly retreated.

"Hundred Birds Rising Sun!"

The Golden Phoenix landed and turned into a hundred golden little birds, all attacking at Dongfang Haoran.

"Grand Spirit come from the east!"

Dongfang Haoran swung his spear and it flew from his hand, turning into purple clouds in midair and blocking the golden birds. At this time, a person burst through the purple clouds raising two giant hammers high up. There were flame birds that flew over, condensing into flames at the head of the hammer.

In just a short period of time.

Nangong Yun's hammer turned into hammers of flames!

"This old lady does not believe I can't beat you to death!"

When Nangong Yun was about to attack, Chu Tian noticed something, "Stop!"

Purple light was released from Dongfang Haoran's body, enveloping his body and forming an armour. In the blink of an eye, Dongfang Haoran released an imposing aura with a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand.

Was this the Dongfang Family's source spirit?

It actually had a body transformation effect!

When the giant hammer fell down, it slammed into the shield and shattered it to pieces, but a part of the energy was reflected back onto Nangong Yun. That energy sent Nangong Yun flying and Dongfang Haoran's sword also came out at the same time, hitting Nangong Yun in the air.

"This is bad!"

Meng Yingying and Meng Qingwu's faces fell, preparing to go save her.

In the end, Nangong Yun's body was covered in golden flames as she fell to the ground like a phoenix, setting the surrounding area on fire. When she stood up, her wound was strangely burning. Especially where she had been stabbed by the sword, it continuously released golden flames.

What was even stranger was that the wound was quickly healing!

Dongfang Haoran was completely shocked. What kind of cultivation technique is this, how could it be this strong?

"I was too careless!"

"Let's go again!"

Nangong Yun knit her brows because she had consumed most of her spirit energy. The «Great Nirvana Scripture» was not only for fighting. It could also be used to heal oneself, but it consumed a lot of spirit energy.

"Alright, Nangong, you can come back now."

Chu Tian personally came forward, "I'll play with you next."

Chapter 298: Flame Demon Transformation!

Chapter 298: Flame Demon Transformation!

The Weapon Transformation Source Spirit of the Dongfang Family was a rare and special source spirit. It did not have a set shape and could turn into various armours, weapons, etc. This also meant that the soldiers of the Dongfang Family could adapt to any situation in battle.

Spears, swords, and sabers, they could all be used flexibly. Although the amplification could not compare to simple sword and saber cultivation, it was very flexible, so it was very hard to deal with.

When Dongfang Haoran was faced with Nangong Yun's wild attacks, he turned his source spirit into a defensive form. He had also cultivated a high class shield skill that could form an energy layer over his defenses, reflecting the strength back to hurt his enemies.

A defensive technique that could reflect like this was a high class cultivation technique.

A soldier's defense was the lowest, it would be when they were launching a full force attack. If this attack were blocked and a portion of it were reflected, it would be able to achieve unexpected results.

The Starlight Immortal was this kind of cultivation technique.

However, the Starlight Immortal Body's reflection skill had a limit that was increased with the cultivation technique. At the current stage, other than Meng Yingying using her "Mirror Source Spirit's" amplification and her special item's amplification, she could not reflect as much as Dongfang Haoran's move.

Nangong Yun's hammers slamming down was like slamming into her own body.

This rebound strength was over 80%, so it was a very terrifying defensive skill.

Dongfang Haoran did not stop and used this chance to launch a counterattack, taking down Nangong Yun in one fell swoop. However, Dongfang Haoran was not much better off. Nangong Yun's fierce strike had actually shattered the shield formed from his Weapon Transformation Source Spirit and a part of the energy had entered his body, causing damage to him.

This woman was very strong.

If she had the same strength as Chu Xinghe and had enough training, she would have become a very powerful rival for Dongfang Haoran.

Dongfang Haoran was filled with excitement.

He was filled with joy seeing prey. When he met an opponent, he would want to fight them.

Nangong Yun was an opponent worth anticipating, he hoped that she would become stronger!

With a "cheng" sound.

That aloof white clothed youth took out a cold as ice treasure sword from his back. He walked out from behind the women, moving towards Dongfang Haoran as straight as a javelin.

"Do you want to rest first before fighting?"

Dongfang Haoran disdainfully said, "This kind of battle does not count for anything to me, why do we need to waste time?"

Meng Qingwu quickly pulled Nangong Yun who was about to explode back. Dongfang Haoran's personality did make people hate him a bit, but he was generally very honest. Just based on the few moves that Nangong Yun used, Dongfang Haoran certainly was not affected that much.

Dongfang Haoran's real cultivation was in the 9th Awakened Soul Layer, if he used all his strength, it didn't matter whether it was Chu Tian or Nangong Yun, they wouldn't even be able to block one-two moves. Although Dongfang Haoran suppressed his cultivation, his base was still there. The amount of spirit energy he had was something Chu Tian and Nangong Yun could not compare to.

"Then this little one will accompany the prince to play a bit!" Chu Tian stretched his neck and arms, "I haven't fought anyone since coming to the Imperial City. After suppressing myself for half a month, I have a craving to fight!"

"Only a fight of two-three moves will not satisfy you."

"Perhaps!"

Chu Tian was disinclined to keep speaking, instantly using his sword art to disappear. Several streaks of flaming sword glow was released, so fast that it could not be differentiated from which one was sent out first.

"Good sword art!"

Dongfang Haoran was quite shocked. This sword art was not only powerful, it gave the enemy no time to prepare, instantly sending out a strong attack to assassinate the enemy. The most commendable part was that this sword art did not just contain great strength, it also had high endurance, being able to send a storm of attacks, wearing down the enemy's defenses.

Dongfang Haoran had no hesitation. He had faced all kinds of fights and developed a kind of instinct. Large amounts of his source spirit were released and the purple energy formed around his body, creating a firm set of armour.

Dang! Dang!

Chu Tian sent two continuous slashes, creating several sword marks, but it did not break the armour. It was impossible for this attack to break Dongfang Haoran's reflective cultivation technique.

This fellow was arrogant, but he had the qualification to be so.

Since Chu Tian arrived in this era, this was the strongest defense he had ever seen. It was not even inferior to the Starlight Immortal Body's Diamond Body. Even if Dongfang Haoran only had this strong defense and his other aspects were ordinary, he would still be invincible among masters of the same level!

"Just so-so!"

Dongfang Haoran's source spirit released energy again and this energy gathered in his hands, finally turning into a magnificent wide bladed saber. It was formed purely of energy, but the saber's blade was like purple crystal, releasing an unending amount of flames on the blade's edge.

Releasing the Mind's Eye!

Locking onto his position!

The purple blade released a fierce storm of attacks, with the saber qi slashing out horizontally at Chu Tian. Because Chu Tian had been locked onto by Dongfang Haoran's divine sense, no matter how Chu Tian dodged, the attack would still land on him.

The Meng sisters and Nangong Yun's faces changed a bit.

Dongfang Haoran did not use his full strength, but the strength used in this attack was enough that geniuses of the same level would find it hard to defend against it.

When Chu Tian was faced with this attack, he was very calm, not avoiding it or defending against it. He released his sword source spirit and the Netherworld Sword in his hand received the power of the Demon God's Sword, increasing its strength by ten times. A sword qi soared into the air and Netherworld Flames condensed around him, as he prepared to release a Raging Flame Slash!

With a single slash sent out.

The saber qi was completely shattered!

That purple crystal blade formed from his source spirit also shattered.

Dongfang Haoran was forced back several steps. Although a large part of the fragmented saber qi landed on Chu Tian, with Chu Tian's defenses, it caused him no damage at all.

Dongfang Haoran never thought Chu Tian's sword art would be this sharp. This person being able to defeat Chu Xinghe was not an accident.

Actually, Dongfang Haoran had made a mistake with this matter. Chu Tian had defeated Chu Xinghe, but there was a very important piece of news he did not know about.

That was that Chu Tian had not just defeated Chu Xinghe, he had done so with a lower cultivation. It was not as simple as defeating him, but rather crushing him! In a situation where there was a difference in cultivation, Chu Tian could still defeat Chu Xinghe. If they had the same amount of spirit energy, how could Chu Xinghe have the qualification to go against Chu Tian?

Dongfang Haoran did not know this, so he issued this kind of challenge. He thought that defeating Chu Tian at the same level would be equal to defeating Chu Xinghe!

"The prince can't hold on already?" Chu Tian began to laugh, "I didn't even have time to display my stronger attacks!"

Dongfang Haoran saw a giant sword mark on the armour formed from his source spirit. There was also blue, white flames burning on the sword mark, and his source spirit armour was not restoring itself. That flame was rather slowly swallowing up even more areas.

The Dongfang Family's Weapon Transformation Source Spirit had a special characteristic where the energy of the source spirit would constantly change. If there was a focus on defense, their attack would become weaker and if there was a focus on attack, their defense would become weaker. Because of this, when Dongfang Haoran transformed his spirit energy into armour, his defense was comparable to the Starlight Immortal Body, even winning against it. When Dongfang Haoran used a part of his armour to form the blade, his defense was a bit weaker.

This change between defense and attack which could be changed at will was the Dongfang Family's greatest strength, but also their limit.

Dongfang Haoran felt a bit of surprise.

The Dongfang Family's source spirit's specialty was not a secret, but Dongfang Haoran was clearer on the strength of his source spirit compared to anyone else. If Chu Tian used a bit more strength, he could have seized this opportunity and beaten Dongfang Haoran in one fell swoop.

"If you have skills then display them!" Dongfang Haoran released his attack and prepared to defend, silently standing there, "I want to see how you destroy my defenses!"

"Alright, I'll do as you wish!"

The Netherworld Sword released the sharp cries of ghosts, like ten thousand ghosts calling out in grief. It filled the entire Miracle Commerce headquarters and made everyone feel restless as illusions formed from their fear.

This time he was using the third Netherworld Sword Art slash – Netherworld Ghost Slash!

This move used the power of the weapon spirit to send a dual layered attack, which was also Netherworld's strongest move. But each move had two sides to it and after using this "Netherworld Ghost Slash", it would use all of Netherworld's weapon spirit power. So after this move was used, the Netherworld Sword would be weakened for a period of time and its future battle strength would be affected.

It could either not be used or it could used for a certain kill!

Meng Qingwu could see something and said in a serious voice, "This move will determine the fight!"

Dongfang Haoran could feel the strong energy being released by Chu Tian and could sense just how terrifying it was. He immediately released his source spirit and formed an incomparably large purple shield.

"It's this move again!" Nangong Yun had just suffered from this, so how could she not recognize it, "This is not good, with how strong boss' attack is, it'll become even stronger after it is reflected. This fellow wants to just defend and reflect boss' attack to defeat boss!"

Wasn't Chu Tian a smart person?

How could he not see through such obvious intentions?

Chu Tian was still using all his strength, no holding anything back. What was he thinking here?

Dongfang Haoran was also very curious and could not help being expectant and interested, "Come! Let me see your strongest move!"

"As you wish!" Chu Tian's body was burning as he crashed down like a meteor, "Netherworld Ghost Slash!"

When the Netherworld Sword slashed out, the air was distorted by the powerful energy.

A jet black sword glow slammed into the shield.

Hong!

A powerful energy was reflected by the shield and attacked the other side. Finally, the shield was forced down by the powerful sword strike and began to shatter into pieces, causing the terrifying power to pass through the shield, falling onto Dongfang Haoran. It made Dongfang Haoran spit out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying, crashing into the distance like a kite with its strings cut.

This Dongfang Haoran truly did have a brain made of wood.

He did not use his full strength at this time and allowed the sword qi to inflict serious injuries on him!

However, most of the Netherworld Ghost Slash's power was reflected. When Chu Tian smashed the shield, was he also blown to pieces?

"Ah!"

The girls called out in surprise.

Dongfang Haoran had a streak of blood flowing from his lips, but he also had a look of disbelief.

Was Chu Tian a maniac? Did he want both side to perish with this attack? This was just an ordinary competition, so did he need to go all out like this?

But the following scene made everyone stunned once again. Once Chu Tian was exploded, his flesh did not fly everywhere, rather he had turned into a large amount of flames. Those flames gathered together and it formed a tall flame demon.

This was the weapon spirit – Netherworld!

While Chu Tian was cultivating the Netherworld Flame Sword, he had also continuously made changes to it, even being able to independently summon the weapon spirit. When he used the "Netherworld Ghost Slash", there were fundamental differences from the first time!

With the original «Netherworld Flame Sword», this slash overdrew on the Netherworld Sword's strength. Once this power was exhausted, the Netherworld Sword would become weak.

After Chu Tian changed it, he released the weapon spirit with all its strength, letting the weapon spirit hold the Netherworld Sword to release the Netherworld Ghost Slash. The weapon spirit could also recycle most of the energy to allow itself to have a real form outside of the sword.

The strength was mostly rebounded onto the Netherworld Flame Demon and this flame demon was had a spiritual body, so its power could not hurt it. This rebounded energy was useless against Netherworld, rather it took all the energy it released and made it a part of itself.

"What cultivation technique is this..."

Dongfang Haoran was completely shocked.

"It's too early to be surprised!" Chu Tian put his hands together, "Netherworld, use the Flame Demon Transformation!"

"Understood, master!"

Netherworld suddenly surrounded Chu Tian and the two of them became one, forming an incomparably tall demon. An evil aura filled the entire Miracle Commerce headquarters. This strength almost made Dongfang Haoran collapse.

This already far exceeded the Illustrious Soul Realm!

"Prince, you were right!" Chu Tian transformed into the incomparably large flame demon and looked down on Dongfang Haoran, "A fight that ends in two-three hits, truly cannot let me enjoy myself!"

Chapter 299: Severely wounded prince

Chapter 299: Severely wounded prince

When Dongfang Haoran and Chu Tian were fighting, the Southern Summer King was inside the palace with anxious ministers, currently discussing the redeployment issue with the battle troops.

He was feeling assured in his son.

Dongfang Haoran had a simple minded personality, but he could reach the 9th Awakened Soul Layer at the age of twenty seven, being the only person in the Southern Summer Country that could compare to Wang Tianlong. If he could take this chance to teach Chu Tian a lesson, that would be the best ending.

Who didn't know Dongfang Haoran's personality?

The Calm Martial Ruler and the great scholar could say nothing.

The Calm Martial Ruler reported to the Southern Summer King, "The War Hound Plains has been strange lately."

This news was already known two-three days ago, so the Southern Summer King did not mind it at all. He was more focused on the matter of Chu Tian, so he casually asked, "After fighting for all these years, when have they ever been normal?"

The Calm Martial Ruler replied, "Amongst the War Hound Plains tribes, there has been a Hell Song Tribe that has a lot of influence in the War Hound Plains, so this ruler has always paid attention to them. However, in these last few months, all of this ruler's informants have gone missing. Doesn't this seem strange at all?!"

The Refined Ruler said in a voice filled with slight contempt, "The War Hounds Tribe has strong reconnaissance skills, so it isn't strange to lose a few scouts. My people are frequently in contact with the members of the Hell Song Tribe, secretly contacting a few middle level members to engage in secret trades. If something special does happen, naturally I will receive some news of it. The Calm Martial Ruler is thinking too much."

"Although losing a few troops isn't strange, losing all of them at once is indeed strange! The news from your channels are based on profits, so it's unclear whether they are real or not. It could also be fake information they are giving us." The Calm Martial Ruler asked the Southern Summer King, "This monarch is willing to lead a reconnaissance team into the War Hound Plains."

"The War Hound Plains has very strong internal friction and the Calm Martial Ruler has a strong effect on them. If he enters the War Hound Plains, it might cause them to work together, creating danger for the Southern Summer Country, so we'll let them keep fighting each other! On the Southern Summer Country line, the Battle Dragon Army is the closest. We should let them head in and not allow the Calm Martial Ruler personally make a move."

This was correct.

The Calm Martial Ruler's status was very sensitive, so it might cause the War Hounds Tribe to be vigilant.

The other people had not given any opinion before a royal knight quickly came in, "Your majesty, this is bad, there has been an accident at Miracle Commerce. His highness the prince has begun fighting with Chu Tian!!"

"Fight?" The Southern Summer King revealed a joking expression, but he quickly hid it and spoke in a surprised voice, "How did the two of them begin fighting? What are the damages?"

This royal knight had a strange expression as he said, "The damages are not light, it cannot be healed in a short period of time. I'm afraid….."

"Alright, it's fine if no one died. Youths are very compulsive and will fight if they don't agree, isn't this a normal thing? The Southern Summer Country is one that focuses on martial arts, otherwise how could we have fought the War Hounds Tribe for all these years?" The Southern Summer King did not seem to care, but his heart was secretly laughing, "You can leave now. This king will take care of this matter later."

This is what happens when one is too famous!

This time he had used Haoran to give a little warning. If he did not become smarter in the future, then it wouldn't be as simple as a little warning.

The royal knight had a face filled with shock, "But your majesty, will it be finished with this?"

"Does this king need to act to mediate a fight between juniors?" The Southern Summer King gave a cold laugh, "What a joke! The ones defeated were not strong enough, so why did they fight? Everyone knows of Dongfang Haoran's personality. Although he is obsessed with martial arts, he would not force anyone to duel with him. Since it is a fair duel, then they should consider the fact they might be injured!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Dongfang Haoran's personality was well known in Imperial City.

This fellow was addicted to martial arts, finding people to fight everyday. Although he was like this, his personality was not bad and he did not force anyone to fight him. Since Dongfang Haoran fought with Chu Tian, Chu Tian must have agreed to the fight.

The customs of the Southern Summer Country stated that during duels, injuries were up to the heavens and no one was allowed to interfere.

That royal knight's expression became even stranger, "Although it is like this, I ask your majesty to prepare a doctor as soon as possible, otherwise….."

The Southern Summer King impatiently waved his hand, "Miracle Commerce has money, why does this king have to prepare anything. Let them settle it themselves."

The royal knight's eyes opened wide, "Your majesty is wrong, the one heavily injured is his highness, the prince!"

Pa!

The Southern Summer King crushed the rail of his throne. His eyes turned into circles as he roared out, "What did you say? Haoran was injured? How could that be!"

The royal knight quickly kneeled down, "The prince ran to Miracle Commerce to challenge Chu Tian and during their fight, he was beaten down by Chu Tian, suffering heavy injuries. It was also seen by many people. If your majesty does not go soon, the prince will be in danger!"

"Dirty thing!"

The Southern Summer King's hair almost stood up. How could this be? His important son was actually heavily injured in front of many people by Chu Tian. Once this matter spread, the royal family's face would be thrown to the ground!

"Chu Tian, this….."

"My king, please calm your anger." He only said half of what he wanted to say before Gu Qianqiu stood up with a forced smile, "My Southern Summer Country is based on martial arts. During a fair duel, injuries are up to the heavens, so you can't vent your anger on Chu Tian just because he injured the prince."

Zhao Pu seriously said, "This subordinate supports this, I ask the king to maintain his image!"

The Southern Summer King's face was filled with anger from shame, but it was hard for him to back down. He had just said these words and if he went against them, where would his face as a king go? If this was spread to the citizens tomorrow, there would be people dissatisfied with his conduct. He could only suck it up for now. Now that matters had reached this point, he could do nothing. He could not punish Chu Tian, so he could only save his reputation.

"What are you two thinking? This king is not blaming Chu Tian. Haoran has acted very arrogant over these years, so this lesson is a good thing for him. Not only am I not punishing him, I want to thank Chu Tian! We'll end today's discussions here." The Southern Summer King waved his hand, "Prepare the cart, I want to take a trip to Miracle Commerce!"

The Southern Summer King rode the beast cart quickly to Miracle Commerce's headquarters.

Dongfang Haoran was not considered injured, but when he saw Chu Tian's Flame Demon Transformation, Dongfang Haoran was not satisfied in losing, so he raised his cultivation to the 7th Awakened Soul Layer, using strength in the True Soul Realm to fight Chu Tian.

He did not believe it.

Could Chu Tian skip levels to fight people?

This was not a normal step. The difference between the 6th and 7th Awakened Soul Layer was a large step!

What made Dongfang Haoran feel despair was that after the Flame Demon Transformation was displayed, Chu Tian's battle strength reached the True Soul Realm, but he still easily defeated Dongfang Haoran!

Dongfang Haoran had natural talent since he was young.

It had always been him skipping levels to fight enemies, when had he ever experienced this kind of fight? The person who beat him was the same Chu Tian that he had scolded!

Dongfang Haoran did not believe it.

Chu Tian was really this strong?

Dongfang Haoran dragged his injure body up and fought with Chu Tian again. He was in the 8th Awakened Soul Layer this time and could finally fight evenly with Chu Tian.

However.

At this time.

From some place in Miracle Commerce's headquarters, a cold current quickly soared into the sky and a black figure fell down from the sky. It was no one else but Chu Tian's bodyguard – Chen Bingyu!

Chen Bingyu had entered closed door cultivation since she came to Imperial City.

This time she had a sudden breakthrough and her strength increased to the next level. From her aura, she had reached the peak 9th Awakened Soul Layer! Chen Bingyu's cultivation had actually caught up to the experts of the Southern Summer Eight Marquises level!

Dongfang Haoran almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Chen Bingyu's age was also around thirty years old!

This woman who was around the same age and did not have as many resources as him had actually reached the peak 9th Awakened Soul Layer? How could Dongfang Haoran not feel depressed?

"Who's causing trouble here!"

"Aunt Chen, it's him!"

Chen Bingyu released a storm of snowflakes, instantly shattering Dongfang Haoran's armour, sending him flying once again. Dongfang Haoran did not stand up this time and on his arrogant face was actually a look filled with despair.

This group of people were too abnormal.

From Nangong Yun, to Chu Tian, to Chen Bingyu, not a single one of them was normal!

Chu Tian's strength was close to being exhausted and he released the Flame Demon Transformation. With a smile, he looked at Dongfang Haoran, "How does the prince feel?"

"It is my loss!" Dongfang Haoran struggled to stand up, "But, don't be too proud. I will take this loss back."

Chu Tian gave a laugh, "Then I'll be waiting!"

A voice came from the door at this time, "The Southern Summer King is here!"

The Meng sisters, Chen Bingyu, the Miracle Commerce Staff, and the group of people here to watch the fun all revealed shocked expressions. They all kneeled down and loudly shouted, "We greet the king!"

A man wearing the royal robes walked through the crowd, entering Miracle Commerce with a calm expression.

First he saw the heavily injured Dongfang Haoran and his face sunk, "I had you come here to do something and how did you do it? Did you even listen to this king's words?"

Dongfang Haoran quickly lowered his head, "Your son knows his wrongs!"

But then he said, "This duel was initiated by your son and I am convinced of my loss. I ask father not to blame Chu Tian."

"Why aren't you leaving yet!" The Southern Summer King glared at him, letting his servants support the heavily injured Dongfang Haoran out. Then he took a deep look at Chu Tian, "Scholar Chu is truly powerful. In all these years, this king has not seen anyone of the younger generation who can make Haoran suffer a loss."

This was not just a compliment.

He truly did hold Chu Tian in high esteem.

This person was not just a genius, his natural battle strength was also hard to imagine. It was hard to think what he would become when he matured!

Chu Tian gave a laugh, "The Southern Summer King overpraises me, it was the prince that allowed this little one to win."

"Since you know this, why did you heavily injure him?"

"The prince is so strong and has an explosive temper, so this little one did not dare hold back and accidentally injured him!" Chu Tian helplessly gave a shrug, "Since the Southern Summer King has graced my home, I ask you to come in. This one will pay for one's crimes with some wine."

The Southern Summer King also knew.

This matter could not be a reason to deal with Chu Tian and he did have a matter to cooperate with Chu Tian on, so he could only suffer this loss for now, "Alright, then this king will have see what's different about Miracle Commerce's wine."

Chapter 300: Series

Chapter 300: Series

The Southern Summer King had to admit that he had truly underestimated Chu Tian.

This person could be used by the Southern Summer Country and could become a pillar of the country. However, if he couldn't be controlled, he could be the center of unrest.

He had two choices right now.

The first was to suppress Chu Tian before he developed.

The second was to give Chu Tian a helping hand before he developed.

The Southern Summer King's personality leaned towards the first option. The Southern Summer King liked to have control and did not wish to have anything he could not control. It was better to destroy the tree that could become a pillar which could also grow too much and topple the house.

The fact was that Chu Tian was not just a person!

Miracle Commerce was already a large power that was already beginning to affect the citizens. Not to mention the fact that Chen Bingyu was an expert at the peak 9th Awakened Soul Layer and there was also a large power like the Giant Shark Gang. In the center there was also the Calm Martial Ruler, the great scholar, and further away were the Divine Wind Marquis and the Golden Arrow Marquis. They had too many supporters, pulling them all around themselves.

The most important thing was that the Southern Summer Country required Chu Tian's genius!

Now that the Source Energy Weapon was being secretly developed, the Southern Summer King knew that once the Source Energy Weapons were popularized in the army, the Southern Summer Country fighting back against the War Hounds was just around the corner. The Southern Summer King would accomplish the hopes of all the previous kings and become immortal in the Dongfang Family.

For all kinds of reasons.

Chu Tian could not be touched.

At least he couldn't be touched for now.

The Southern Summer King was not an outstanding king, but he could sit on the throne for decades so he was not an ordinary person. He knew how to control his emotions and control his disdain for things, looking at the larger picture.

Chu Tian pretended to provide wine as a punishment.

"Does this king care about a martial arts competition between you juniors?" The Southern Summer King seemed to not care about what just happened, "As long as no one loses their lives, this competition will help stimulate your progress. Not only does this king not reject this, rather this king supports this behaviour. Scholar Chu is the pillar of the country, although your personality is a bit frank, this kind of personality is trustworthy. This king will be depending on you in the future, how could I bear a grudge over these small matters!"

When the Meng sisters heard this, they let out a sigh of relief.

Whether this was sincere or an act, since he said these words, the Southern Summer King would not use this to cause trouble for Chu Tian.

"Good wine, good wine!" The Southern Summer King tried the honey wine and began to give out praises, "Not only is Scholar Chu a true talent, I never thought you would be so skilled in making wine. This king has an useless prince, if he had half your talent, the Dongfang Family would have a worthy successor."

Chu Tiang laughed and said, "The prince has heaven given talent. What would my king like to talk about?"

"Oh? Yes!" The Southern Summer King put down the wine cup and looked at Chu TIan with a series expression, "This king wants to know, what is your evaluation of Haoran?"

This question was one that was hard to answer.

But Chu Tian did not think much about it and honestly replied, "The prince has talent and can become a pillar of the country!"

The Southern Summer King pondered it and said, "Your meaning is that Haoran is suited to be the next Calm Martial Ruler and is not suited to be the Southern Summer King?"

This was the truth.

Dongfang Haoran's disposition was more like the Calm Martial Ruler's.

"Forget it, it's fine not to mention this topic." No one would have guessed that the Southern Summer King was thinking this. He did not mind Chu Tian's evaluation and changed the topic, "Miracle Commerce's movies are not bad and this king likes them, so this one wants to cooperate with Miracle Commerce to make a movie. The material cost will be taken from the state treasury and you will be paid a satisfactory production cost. Miracle Commerce and the Dongfang Family will equally split the profits. Do you have any opinions on this?"

Was there such a good matter!

These people could not understand this move.

Not only did the Southern Summer King cover the cost of the materials, he would also pay a production fee, and he would only take 50% of the profits. This was giving Miracle Commerce all the benefits, so what did he hope to accomplish with this?

Chu Tian calmly asked, "What is the Southern Summer King's request?"

"One single request. The movie's characters and storyline will all be provided by us. Miracle Commerce will be in charge of producing it and distributing it."

They understood!

After seeing the effects of the Miracle Commerce movie theater, they could see the influence the movies had. So, he wanted to take this chance to produce a movie about the royal family, consolidating the position of his own family and his own status.

They had already expected for this kind of movie to be requested.

They never thought the first person to ask for a cooperation would actually be the Southern Summer King.

But of course this also showed that the Southern Summer King had a strong insight. He knew the value of the movie, so he was the first one to try benefiting for it.

"About this…..The business has just begun, so naturally we're focusing on quality first."

"What is there to worry about? If Miracle Commerce can do it, this king can do it. Even during the production process, this king can allow the people of Miracle Commerce to be involved."

"What movie does my king wish to make?"

"It will be about the rise of the kingdom as well as the brave deeds of the Dongfang Family going against the War Hounds Tribe. The story of the founding of the nation to this day will all be made into a series of movies. I suggest it be divided into ten different segments, letting the glory of the Dongfang Family be forever remembered in the minds of the people."

Fuck.

He wanted to make a series.

This large amount of propaganda, the Dongfang Family's ambitions were not small!

Chu Tian looked at Meng Qingwu with a questioning glance because in terms of management, Meng Qingwu was more insightful than Chu Tian. Whether this matter can be accomplished all depended on Meng Qingwu.

Meng Qingwu nodded to Chu Tian before saying to the Southern Summer King, "We can make this promotional movie in cooperation with the royal family, this would be Miracle Commerce's honour."

"Good!" The Southern Summer King was very satisfied, "This movie should be named the «Great Summer Beacon». This king wants to see a soul stirring historical masterpiece that can be passed down for tens of thousands of years, letting the future generation of the Dongfang Family see the efforts of their ancestors!"

The intent to cooperate was set.

"This matter is decided." The Southern Summer King did not intend to stay, "This king should see my good for nothing son, so I'll leave first!"

"We bid farewell, my king!"

Several people cupped their hands as the Southern Summer King left.

Meng Yingying, Nangong Yun, and the others looked at each other in blank dismay.

This was one of the Imperial City's Pride, Dongfang Haoran?

This was the Southern Summer King with the highest position in the Southern Summer Country?

Meng Yingying was very curious, "Why are they completely different from the rumours? That prince seemed like a blockhead and the king was not as overbearing as the rumours, he even seemed like an amiable person."

Nangong Yun was also very curious.

Meng Qingwu shook her head, "The Southern Summer Country is a small country, but to become the king, he has to be special. Even the Three Rulers are respectful to him, so he is not as simple as you think he is."

Perhaps.

Another two days passed.

The four theaters were filled with people every day. These people had been attracted by this suspenseful, moving, and exciting story which quickly became the topic everyone talked about.

Miracle Commerce's movie, «Scarlet Blood War» became even more popular because the lead was Chu Tian. A storm had currently been set off in Imperial City.

Especially after Chu Tian had defeated one of the prides, Dongfang Haoran recently. This created a large stir and made Chu Tian's fame in Imperial City rise again. His past in Central State had been quickly dug up and the people of Imperial City were shocked once again.

There was no doubt.

Chu Tian became the brightest star in Imperial City.

Countless people had already taken Chu Tian as their idol.

Even Meng Yingying was now considered the "country's princess" by the Imperial City citizens. Her image was just like a princess, pure and fine beauty, attracting the wild praise of countless people.

This was not just the influence from the movies. When the «Scarlet Blood War» began showing, a series of interesting events occurred in Imperial City.

The once powerful minister Zuo Yan of the Nangong Family could not take the gossip and left Imperial City on his own accord, going somewhere else for the storm to blow over.

The Wang Family was not as lucky.

The beautiful manor of the Wang Family was decorated with feces and rotten eggs by people. The juniors of the Wang Family did not dare take to the streets, being afraid of being attacked and getting beaten.

In short, the Wang Family who were the prosperity of the previous royal family had received deep hostility from the world in just a few short days.

Even bringing a group of bodyguards was no use.

The look of disdain from bystanders made them feel nervous and uneasy. This was not a method of continuing on!

"We ask the king to take action for our Wang Family!"

Wang Tu knelt in his audience with the king, speaking with an aggrieved expression.

"Although this subordinate was wrong, the Wang Family is innocent. Our several hundred years reputation was destroyed by that brat Chu Tian! My Wang Family's Battle Dragon Army has bled for the country, achieving many merits in battle, but faced with the disdain of the citizens, it makes the hearts of the soldiers bleed! This subordinate asks for the closure of the Imperial City theaters and ask Miracle Commerce to account for their actions!"

Perhaps Wang Tu did not know.

The Southern Summer King had already came to an agreement with Chu Tian and now the movie was already being produced. So, Wang Tu's request to close the theaters was an impossible matter.

"The theater's effects have exceeded expectations, but these theaters are already popular in the city and if they are closed for this reason, then the citizens will be filled with rage. At that time, the Wang Family will not be able to wash off this stain and this king will incur the wrath of the citizens."

Wang Tu righteously said, "Once these movies appear, they will ruin the country's nature. Once the citizens are enchanted by these stories, they will fail to pay attention to the northern battlefront. It will also affect the martial spirit of the Southern Summer Country, so how will we repel the War Hounds Tribe then?"

"General, no need to be anxious." The Southern Summer King had already prepared for this, "Chu Tian's current spotlight is indeed too strong, this king wanted to suppress him as well, otherwise his success will go to his head."

Wang Tu was filled with joy when he heard this, "My king is truly wise!"

Wang Tu entering the palace to complain was within the Southern Summer King's expectations.

Actually when he had left Miracle Commerce that night, the Southern Summer King had already thought of a plan. He would avoid offending Chu Tian and would be able to frustrate him.

The Southern Summer King wrote royal proclamation and stamped it with the royal seal before taking out a royal token, "Take it!"

Wang Tu looked over the royal proclamation and felt his brain fill with blood. He kneeled down the ground and shouted with an excited expression, "Thank you my king for your grace!"

"Don't let this matter spread and finish it as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

Wang Tu was filled with joy as he left the royal palace.

The Southern Summer King revealed a strange smile.

Chapter 301: Additional income

Chapter 301: Additional income

Miracle Commerce instantly turned into a large company with power in Imperial City.

In these few days since the theaters appeared, there were many movie fans that appeared in Imperial City. But Miracle Commerce did not just achieve breakthroughs in business, they had also made many internal breakthroughs.

The largest pleasant surprise was Chen Bingyu's breakthrough!

Even Chu Tian did not think that Chen Bingyu would break through this quickly!

This meant that Chu Tian had a bodyguard comparable to the Southern Summer Eight Marquises. Adding in the eighteen Divine Blood Yin Corpses, the amount of people that could move against Chu Tian could be counted by his fingers.

In order to celebrate this large matter, Chu Tian personally hosted a celebration for Chen Bingyu.

Meng Qingwu was sitting in her office as sunlight shined in from the window, illuminating that beautiful body covered in a white robe. With hair neatly tied back, a beautiful face that contained no flaws, and a noble temperament and style, even the harshest eyes could not find a single flaw with this woman.

She was simply the reincarnation of a perfect goddess.

Meng Qingwu was the person truly in charge of the company and couldn't be as free as Chu Tian. She was looking over their recent finances and statistics, planning out her next moves to develop the company.

Recently they spent a lot of money to make theaters and various other accommodations, spending at least two-three hundred million gold coins.

But, Miracle Commerce's financial situation was still very relaxed!

Whether it was the talismans, pills, canned food, or common goods, they were all growing at a rapid pace. Even Miracle Broadcasting and QIlin Hall all had increased revenue.

The services Miracle Commerce provided, other than the loss from the theaters, they were all growing at a rapid pace. They far exceeded their cost each month and was the reason why Miracle Commerce could develop so quickly.

Meng Qingwu was a very discrete and meticulous woman.

Although Miracle Commerce was very rich, Meng Qingwu was not satisfied with this situation. The several hundred million gold coins they had stockpiled was all her ammunition. How to use this money to earn more benefits, that was Meng Qingwu's responsibility and also her way of showing off her worth.

Chu Tian was so powerful and if she didn't show a similar display, how could she feel relieved sitting in the vice chairman position?

Meng Qingwu was always filled with gratitude towards Chu Tian.

If there was no Chu Tian, not to mention today's glory, she would have found it hard to maintain her position in South Sky City.

Chu Tian had helped promote these two sisters. Meng Qingwu could only work hard to repay him, otherwise what else could she do? Could she repay him with her body! Pei, pei, what was she thinking!

Meng Qingwu considered it a bit and then thought of a large plan. She prepared to split the reserves into three parts and began to write up her plan.

The first sum of money was to be invested into the research department to continue improving Miracle Commerce's technology.

The second sum of money was to be used for expansion. Other than the movie theaters, they would recruit talented people from the citizens to expand the retainer organization, the "Chu Sect". This was to have more talents and experts in Miracle Commerce.

The third sum of money was to be invested in strength. Meng Qingwu would use Miracle Commerce's channels to collect heaven and earth treasures from all over the kingdom. Especially items with the power of the stars to be used in cultivating Miracle Commerce's high level cultivation technique, the Starlight Immortal Body.

Meng Qingwu thought over the details before sending out the plan.

Meng Qingwu then looked over some more documents and sent further information to each department. The income from Miracle Radio's advertising was being managed by Meng Qingwu as well and Meng Yingying was in charge of Miracle Commerce Canned Food. The most surprising thing to Meng Qingwu was that a shocking matter happened to the Qilin Hall managed by Nangong Yun.

The prince was publicly announcing he was joining Qilin Hall?

This Dongfang Haoran was a very open minded person. He had just been heavily injured a few days ago, but not only did he not want revenge, he even joined their dojo to improve himself. Amongst the younger generation of the big families, there were few people like Dongfang Haoran.

This was a chance!

Meng Qingwu used this chance to create hype.

Dongfang Haoran's position was not low and if he joined Qilin Hall, this was a good chance for Miracle Commerce. They could bring him in through Qilin Hall and absorb him into the company.

Could Qilin Hall fail to keep Dongfang Haoran?

This was not a problem at all!

Qilin Hall's knowledge was personally organized by Chu Tian. For a martial arts maniac like Dongfang Haoran, once he had a taste, he would be addicted like taking drugs. Wasn't it the same as with Chen Bingyu?

Dongfang Haoran joining Qilin Hall created a buzz and then there was also the matter of the royal family working on a movie with Miracle Commerce. At that time, people will be speculating the relation between the royal clan and Miracle Commerce.

This was a large advantage to Miracle Commerce!

Speaking of the movie in collaboration with the Southern Summer King, Meng Yingying had already led her group to prepare filming it. The materials required all came from the national treasury, so this was a business that had no downsides.

Meng Qingwu was not satisfied with this.

At this time, a voice came from outside, "The Flame Rose Commerce's chairman Han is here for a meeting!"

Finally here?

Meng Qingwu's lips curled into a smile.

The Flame Rose Commerce was an Imperial City company that mainly focused on producing weapons and armours. It was them that mainly provided the equipment for the Storm Cavalry, with a profit of several billions per year. They were a truly large company.

When Meng Qingwu arrived in the meeting hall, she saw the Flame Rose Commerce's chairman.

She was a forty year old woman with fair skin and a plump body, looking to be a young girl at about twenty eight. Because she was surnamed Han, everyone called her Madame Han.

"For Madame Han to come personally, this is truly a rare guest!" Meng Qingwu personally poured a cup of elven green tea.

Madame Han looked over Meng Qingwu and then gave a heartfelt sigh as he praised, "Young miss Meng even more beautiful than I imagined, you truly are young and promising. Your performance in the two months you've been in Imperial City is truly shocking."

"What is Madame Han saying? With Flame Rose Commerce's fifty years of history, how could Miracle Commerce be considered big in front of you!"

"The old and decayed cannot compare to the promising youths!"

Meng Qingwu did not beat around the bush and directly asked, "Madame Han is too polite, your trip here is for….."

"I have a beneficial plan, I wonder if little sister Qingwu is interested."

"You might as well say it."

"I personally watched the movie today and found that the movie's charm cannot be compared by anything, it will surely be a hit in Imperial City and the Southern Summer Country. I think that with the high value of these movies, why not fully develop it? I have an idea. In the next movie, most of the leads should wear the colours of my Flame Rose Commerce and have some symbols shown here and there..."

Meng Qingwu knit her brows like she was in an awkward position.

"Be assured, we won't interfere with the creative process. The warriors and soldiers in the story all need equipment, right?" Madame Han raised her chip by saying, "As long as you use our Han Family's weapons and armours, we will give a production fee of twenty million!"

Meng Qingwu suddenly smiled, "Madame Han, although this is not difficult, this fee of twenty million is too little."

Twenty million was not enough?

Madame Han stared at her, "It's just adding in a few armours and weapons with a mark on them, this should be as easy as flipping your hand."

"Although it's like this, this will have an advertising effect on your company. Since Madame Han has thought of this, the other businessmen will also think of this sooner or later. Do you think just twenty million is competitive enough?"

"How much do you want?"

"At least a hundred million!"

Madame Fu was shocked!

This truly was the lion opening its mouth!

Twenty million was already quite a bit, but Meng Qingwu actually said one hundred million. Just adding a few logos in for half the price of producing the movie, this was earning money too easily!

"One hundred million is too much!" Madame Han revealed a bitter look, "This is a new product and we don't know what effects it will have. If we give this high of a price and there is no effect, we would suffer a large loss. At most we can do fifty million, not a bit more."

Meng Qingwu calmly said with a smile, "Actually, I was prepared to call a meeting and talk to other businesses that want to cooperate. Miracle Commerce is planning to construct theaters in other cities and this will have a strong advertising effect, so I'm sure many other people will be interested. If Madame Han feels the price is too high, naturally someone else will pay for it."

Madame Han wanted to cry but had no tears, "Eighty million? This is already the limit!"

Meng Qingwu took a sip of tea and calmly said, "I can give you a bit of secret information. Miracle Commerce will cooperated with the Southern Summer King to create a movie about the rise and fall of the kingdom, there will be a battle of thousands of soldiers. Moreover, these movies will be collected by the Southern Summer King and could be established as a masterpiece in the Southern Summer Country, so do you think one hundred million is too expensive? I should tell Madame Han that this is just the current price. As more theaters are built and it gains more influence, the price will also change."

"I respect the younger generation!" Madame Han finally gave up, "One hundred million then. You better fully display our equipment, it would be best if you gave an introduction and praised it."

"No problem!"

The two women reached an agreement and immediately signed the contract.

Meng Qingwu revealed faint smile. This «Great Summer Beacon» had not even been made yet and they received one hundred million from Flame Rose Commerce, as well as the production fee from the king. There was also the price of admission that came later on. This was earning money too easily!

Not long after Madame Han left.

Many other merchants came to look for meetings.

Some wanted to cooperate and some wanted to enter the movies. From implanting logos, to advertisements, to roles in the movie, to even custom stories, everything was proposed.

Meng Qingwu was right, there was no need for Miracle Commerce to make a lot of money from admission tickets.

From the potential that could be seen, these movies had not even been made and they had already earned two-three hundred million gold coins in fees! Who dared to say movies did not earn money? Not only could it earn money, it was a beast in earning money!

Meng Qingwu was filled with expectations towards movies in the future.

Because not long from now, most of the main cities in the Southern Summer Country would have theaters. That would be the time for Miracle Commerce to be drowned in wealth.

Chapter 302: Elven gues

Chapter 302: Elven guest

The theater had been opened for seven-eight days and its popularity in Imperial City had not diminished, rather it became even more popular. Now all the nobles, rich people, merchants, and admirers came from the surrounding cities to Imperial City just to personally witness these movies!

There were no vacancies in the Imperial City theaters, being filled with people every day. Just the admission fee was already pretty big, not to mention the consumption fees inside the four theaters. Based on this trend, after a month or so, Miracle Commerce could not earn back their investment in full, but they would be able to earn back most of it.

Four theaters!

There were only four theaters right now!

Miracle Commerce only had four theaters and they had this kind of success. If they were to have, eight, or sixteen, or thirty two…..or even a hundred?

Who said theaters did not earn money?

Their prospects looked to be very good!

This didn't count the other fees it generated!

A tall and slender man appeared in Imperial City with a dark green cloak covering him and a large hood hiding his beautiful face. His dark green hair fell down, smooth and beautiful. The wrist revealed from his sleeve was white as jade, making many women stunned.

Aubersen looked at the Imperial City theater with an interested gaze.

If anyone could see his true appearance, they would certainly be shocked. This man was not just a man that was more beautiful than women, with ears that were sharp and pointy, he was different from humans. There was no doubt that…..this was an Elf!

The Elven Era was even older than the Spirit Beast Era. Elves were not only beautiful, their lives were at least eight times longer than humans!

As beings that had long lives, they knew how to enjoy life and liked art. Every Elf was a scholar with profound knowledge and most of them mastered many art forms. There were no Elven Countries around the Southern Summer Country and this Elf had entered the Southern Summer Country by chance. After hearing many interesting things, he came to have a look.

Movies?

Interesting!

These humans who fought with each other and were blinded with greed actually had people that understood the arts. This was a truly surprising thing!

Aubersen had gone to many human countries, but only a small kingdom like the Southern Summer Country could give him a special feeling. Although it was only a small kingdom, there were things that even large kingdoms would find strange. For example the electric light, the source energy pots, those loudspeaker things, and even those radio stations. He really did not understand what they were!

Although the admission tickets over these days had been sold out, there was still a way for Aubersen. There were reserved seats for sale and most of them had already reached up to ten hundred thousand gold coins, with the cutoff time being three hours before the show.

The closest one to Aubersen was only ten minutes before reaching the deadline.

"I want a reserved movie seat!" Aubersen spoke in the standard human language with a slight intonation to his voice, giving him a noble feel. His white hand put several source stones onto the table, "Are these enough?"

Source stones?

The Miracle Commerce staff were shocked.

The source stone sparkled. Not only was the energy pure, it was also very strong, meaning this should be a medium grade source stone. This single piece of source stone was equal to a hundred low grade source stone and a single low grade source stone was equal to ten thousand gold coins.

This meant that.

The ones here were worth several million gold coins!

"Enough, enough!" The Miracle Commerce staff did not dare be negligent. This was because anyone that used source stones was an out of country cultivator. Not to mention the fact he was so generous, "We ask this mister to wait a minute."

The reserved movie seats were different.

Not only were the positions very good, they also had separate rooms so they wouldn't be disturbed by others. There was also special service staff waiting on the side.

Aubersen entered the theater and ordered several source energy stir fry dishes. He threw out some middle grade source stones and told them to take the extra as a tip. This almost made the service staff faint from happiness because this tip was equal to fifty years worth of their wages!

"You can leave, don't disturb me."

"Yes, yes!"

These service staff with faces filled with happiness immediately left.

Aubersen used the chopsticks to put a piece of meat into his mouth and his eyes lit up. He was very pleasantly surprised, how could humans make this kind of amazing food? It was not inferior to the food made by the Elven gourmets!

The Southern Summer Small Kingdom was truly a place filled with pleasant surprises!

Light was released from the screen at this time and the movie began. First the sound of an eagle's cry came from the loudspeakers, filling the entire hall. Being synchronized with the beautiful images, it gave people a feeling like they were on the scene!

Interesting, interesting!

Aubersen was instantly attracted by this.

No matter what the content was about, there was nothing to say about the image and effects!

The movie's plot slowly presented itself, with different elements interlocking with each other. The male lead was quick witted, the demon king was cruel, and there was simple and pure love. The story was filled with twist and turns, ups and downs, and in the end, the male and female lead led a happy life together.

"Good!"

"Too good!"

Everyone began to give their applause.

Aubersen was feeling very excited. He had travelled to many places, but this was his first time seeing this kind of interesting and fresh idea. He really did not come to the Southern Summer Small Kingdom in vain!

When everyone was prepared to leave, the extinguished giant screen suddenly lit up again. A beautiful and pure girl appeared in the center of the screen with a faint smile, looking at everyone.

"Ah!"

"Isn't this the princess."

"Idiot, the princess identity is fake. This is Miracle Commerce's high executive, young miss Meng Yingying!"

The Elf was shocked by this. He never thought that there would be a kind of technology that could let people communicate over long distances!

"Hello everyone, I am Meng Yingying. The theater has been open for a week now and we would like to thank everyone for supporting Miracle Commerce."

The audience broke out in warm applause.

This kind of good thing that was so cheap, how could everyone not support them?

Miracle Commerce was a company with a conscience!

Meng Yingying then said to everyone, "To thank everyone for your support, Miracle Commerce has released a new product, the video disk player!" After saying this, Meng Yingying moved to the side and presented a strange thing in front of everyone.

This item had a very large screen that was a two meter wide and one meter tall image transfer mirror. There were honeycomb speakers to to the left and right and a black box sticking out the back that looked very high scale.

"This is Miracle Commerce's newest product, the video disk player. With this video disk player, one can watch Miracle Commerce's movies. There are limited amounts currently and only ten will be sold each day, which will be sold through auctions, but we will mass produce these in the future. We will be hosting a public sale, so we welcome everyone to come and try buying one!"

It was an advertisement.

This video disk player made people very excited.

But only ten a day was truly too little.

Imperial City did not lack rich people. The normal people did not even dare think about it until they were being publicly sold.

Aubersen was very excited and immediately headed off to the auction. These ten video disk players were being auctioned off, but each one came with a disk of «Scarlet Blood War», letting people watch this movie wherever they wanted. Moreover, with the video disk player, when more works were distributed in the future, they could purchase a disk after the showings to watch it at home.

People filled up the auction and began to give their bids.

"Five hundred thousand!"

"One million!"

"...."

"I'll give five million!"

While the aristocrats were red faced from competing with each other, a soft voice came from the crowd, "One hundred million!"

Everyone almost spat out blood!

Who the fuck was this!

Did he even treat money as money?

Even in a place like Imperial City, one hundred million gold coins was not a small number.

The Miracle Commerce staff were shocked. When did such a crazy person appear in this world?

Aubersen did not understand these human's surprise because the so called one hundred million was not that expensive for him. He walked onto the stage and a light flashed on his white finger. A large amount of source stones fell down like rain, forming a small hill in just a short while.

"Can I take it now?"

"Ye….yes!"

The Miracle Commerce staff were almost blinded by these source stones. Aubersen walked in front of the video disk player and raised his right hand. The video disk player continued to shrink until it went into the ring on his finger.

"Storage Ring!"

"This is the legendary Storage Ring?"

"This item is worth at least several tens of billions of gold coins!"

These people could not help gasping in shock.

A Storage Tool was already a priceless treasure, not to mention an easy to use Storage Ring.

This mysterious fellow not only had a shocking amount of money, he even had a Storage Tool, so he had to be someone from a large kingdom or higher. This was enough to make these Southern Summer Small Kingdom people fell awed.

This person could not be offended. No matter how strong a family was in the Southern Summer Country, if they offended a person from a large kingdom or empire, even a single breath was enough to sweep them away!

Aubersen did not like attracting human attention.

If he did not like this video disk player, he would not have caused this fuss!

Aubersen himself did not think that from this trip, he would actually receive this pleasantly surprising harvest. Aubersen was not in a rush to leave and bought several dozen Magnetic Sound Machines, phonographs, and several Magnetic Sound Discs from the various markets, spending several hundred million gold coins.

What was this bit of money considered to him?

Of course there was a reason why Aubersen was bringing these items back.

Before he left, the little princess had demanded that he bring a gift back. This was a large headache for Aubersen because what treasure hadn't the little princess seen before? He couldn't just buy a dragon for her!

He could not make the little princess sad. If he didn't bring anything she liked back, Aubersen did not dare imagine the consequences.

Now he could finally let out a sigh of relief.

With these new and strange toys, the little princess would surely be happy!

However, Aubersen never could have imagined that after bringing the video disk player to the little princess that it would bring him and the Elven Forest countless troubles...

Chapter 303: Northern attack plan

Chapter 303: Northern attack plan

"Elder sister!" Meng Yingying came in the door while being filled with joy. Those two slender and delicate legs quickly walked over, "The ten video disk players were all sold and each one sold for over a million gold coins. Do you know how much the most expensive one sold for?"

Meng Qingwu was a bit stunned and thought about it for a bit. Meng Yingying was now a person that had experienced the world, so she wouldn't freak out over nothing. If it was a trivial million to ten million, she would just be a bit surprised and wouldn't be this excited.

"Could it be over a hundred million?"

"Wa, elder sister really dared to guess, but you guessed right!" Meng Yingying's little face revealed a look of shock and disbelief, "I simply cannot believe that a person would spend over a hundred million to buy a video disk player. After they go on sale, each one would only be worth several hundred to up to a thousand gold coins! This is someone who truly has too much money!"

"It can't be, it really is over a hundred million?" Meng Qingwu was first surprised and then realized this matter was not simple, "Did you investigate the other side's identity!"

"I did, but we couldn't find anything. He came from abroad and used source stones to pay. It seems like he has already left Imperial City."

Meng Qingwu slightly knit her brows as she pondered this, "Miracle Commerce's influence is beginning to seep into other countries, I wonder if this is a good or bad thing. I hope it doesn't bring us any troubles."

Miracle Commerce had already established itself in the Southern Summer Country.

Although it wasn't the richest or the largest company, it was the one with the most potential. With the current developmental trend, it was a sure thing that they would become the number one company eventually.

The Southern Summer Country was just a small kingdom.

Miracle Commerce's growth in a small kingdom will reach a limit. Although Meng Qingwu had already made plans to expand into other countries, it was still too early for that. If they were targeted by a giant monster, the Southern Summer Country would not have the power to protect them!

However, since this was inevitable, instead of worrying about the future, they should increase their speed of development. It seemed like all factors needed to be increased, especially the rate of obtaining materials. Only when everyone was stronger would they be able to create a base on the continent!

"Where is Chu Tian?"

"He just left." How could Meng Qingwu not understand her little sister's thoughts. She had accidentally obtained these large spoils, the first thing she thought of was bragging to Chu Tian, "The great scholar came to find him. A situation occurred at the weapon factory and he wanted him to go solve it."

Meng Yingying revealed a disappointed look.

Meng Qingwu gave a few laughs, "What are you anxious for? There is a royal banquet in the palace tonight and all the nobles will be invited. Several of us were also invited. You are already a star, so you better prepare yourself and not let Miracle Commerce lose any face."

There was a royal banquet to attend?

Meng Yingying naturally did not dare be negligent, "Alright, I'll go prepare!"

Chu Tian arrived at the Imperial City weapon factory which was in a position the Calm Martial Ruler personally picked. It was twenty kilometers away from Imperial City and placed deep in the mountain. The surrounding forest was patrolled by the experts of the Dongfang Family and not even a single bird could fly in.

"This Calm Martial Ruler is too cautious. This is just an ordinary Source Energy Weapon factory, there is no need to waste all this effort."

Gu Qianqiu followed Chu Tian without saying a word.

This brat said it very casually, but doesn't he understand what this Source Energy Weapon Factory meant for the Southern Summer Country?

The Southern Summer Country had been suppressed by the War Hounds Tribes for many years, these Source Energy Weapons could be their only opportunity to make a comeback! The Southern Summer King was this courteous to Chu Tian now, most of it was because Chu Tian had the Source Energy Weapon technology schematics!

Chu Tian first confirmed his identity and then walked into the facility. He passed through a cave in the mountain and finally arrived inside the factory. There were around five-six hundred mechanical presses and several dozen three dimensional printing machines that were currently rumbling away as they turned. Each person that was working inside were all wearing the same uniform with the Dongfang Family's symbol on it.

Of course, the defenses of this factory was very strict. There were many Dongfang Family's Blood Clothed Generals patrolling around, leading giant demon beast dogs around with them.

"The factory has already reached this degree?"

Chu Tian wasn't surprised for no reason. The Imperial City Weapon Factory had been established one-two months after the Central State factory. He never thought that it had already reached this stage, it had already caught up to Central State.

It had already started working, producing parts one after the other, sending them into a secret assembling room. There should have been several hundred array masters that were engraving runes.

Miracle Commerce also had half the stock of this weapon factory.

The bigger the Dongfang Family made it, the more profit Miracle Commerce obtained!

"Great scholar Gu, scholar Chu!" A sophisticated Dongfang Family high position elder greeted the two of them with eyes that were filled with respect, "Many thanks for coming to our Imperial City factory. The ruler has waited for a long time, please come with me."

The Calm Martial Ruler wasn't wearing armour and was just wearing a simple robe. However, like an unsheathed sword or an eagle looking down from atop its mountain, people could not ignore the Calm Martial Ruler's existence.

The Calm Martial Ruler simply explained everything.

Chu Tian instantly understood what was going on.

In the end, when the Source Energy Weapon's blueprints were given to the Dongfang Family, the Calm Martial Ruler and the Southern Summer King had their entire family's research department to begin research. In the end, the Calm Martial Ruler realized Chu Tian's trap.

The blueprint did not include the energy magazine blueprint.

Southern Summer's only source of energy magazines was from Central State.

In other words, even if Imperial City makes Source Energy Weapons, if they didn't buy energy magazines from Miracle Commerce, they could not form a force. The Southern Summer King was enraged when he learned of this and even wanted to forcefully take the energy magazine blueprint from Chu Tian.

But he was stopped by the Calm Martial Ruler because the Calm Martial Ruler had already dealt with Chu Tian before and he knew how hard to deal with Chu Tian was. Now that Chu Tian had a lot of influence, he was not easy to move again. The most important thing was that the Calm Martial Ruler already knew that the main material for the energy magazines was crystal oil. Most of the crystal oil in the Southern Summer Country was in Central State.

When Miracle Commerce was just established, they had already began to create the battery factory. Their production line had been completed and they had controlled most of the crystal oil reserves.

If they wanted to make the energy magazines they needed the blueprint, the blueprint for the Source Energy Batteries, and they needed to take back control of Miracle Commerce's crystal oil mines.

This was Chu Tian life blood.

All the products of Miracle Commerce depended on this energy.

Not to mention that different weapons had different magazines. Imperial City did not have the ability to produce them, so if they offended Chu Tian, they would receive a slap in the face.

"After two months of research, our Dongfang Family laboratories have found a method to offset the lack of energy magazines." The Calm Martial Ruler put a very complex source energy array in front of Chu Tian, "When the energy magazine is exhausted, the user can instill their spirit energy into the gun, replacing the energy magazine. They can use their spirit energy to continue firing!"

Gu Qianqiu was shocked, "You completed this design in secret?"

He was a Dongfang Family minister, so Gu Qianqiu was very clear on just how strong the Dongfang Family was.

However, the Dongfang Family developing such a large design behind Miracle Commerce and Gu Qianqiu's backs, this was a very incredible matter.

"If you completed it, you wouldn't need to find me!" Chu Tian rolled his eyes, "Throwing that much manpower and finances into this project, and reaching a dead end. You have no choice but to ask for my help!"

The Calm Martial Ruler felt a bit awkward.

The Dongfang Family wished that they could own a weapon that was more complete than the one from Miracle Commerce. They did not know that this tiny matter was something Chu Tian could make in a few minutes and it was much better than their design!

Gu Qianqiu looked at the blueprint, "This design has a lot of worked placed into it and all the links seem very perfect. This old man cannot find a single flaw with this."

"It's actually very simple." Chu Tian looked over it, "They used the wrong key runes, causing that array to be unable to function. This modification makes the weapon very unstable and each shot will cause the barrel to explode." Saying this, he took a pen and changed several places, "It should be fine now, take it and test it out."

That simple?

The Dongfang Family researchers looked on with wide eyes.

The Calm Martial Ruler personally tested the modified Source Energy Weapon and after shooting a bullet, it did not explode this time. Like this, the Source Energy Weapon had been further improved. Even if there were no energy magazines, they could still be shot with a soldier's spirit energy.

Of course, in this situation, the power of the bullet depended on the strength of the gun wielder.

The Calm Martial Ruler was very depressed. The Dongfang Family had invited a famous array master for this.

This was a talent that was invited from another country for a large amount of money, but in the end, he had been confused by this problem for several days which was solved by Chu Tian in the blink of an eye. Were the difference between the two of them that big?

If they wanted to improve the Source Energy Weapon, they couldn't exclude Chu Tian!

"There are already five hundred Source Energy Pistols and our production speed has been increased, making two-three hundred per day." The Calm Martial Ruler explained the situation of the factory to Chu Tian, "But we have only begun making the Source Energy Submachine Guns."

"It's actually this fast!"

"It's not fast enough!" The Calm Martial Ruler's eyes began to burn, "When the daily production of the Source Energy Pistols reach over a thousand and the Source Energy Submachine Guns reach over three hundred, then the conditions will be met. This ruler will personally lead an army to march into the north!"

What?

The Calm Martial Ruler was prepared to go against the War Hound Plains?

This was an explosive piece of news!

"The War Hounds Tribe is filled with internal strife, letting the Southern Summer Country gather our forces for over twenty years and now we have an army of over a million people. With the Source Energy Weapons, do we need to worry about losing to the War Hounds Tribe?" The Calm Martial Ruler said this and suddenly looked at Chu Tian, "This is a good opportunity to earn merits, are you interested?"

"What are you asking me for? I will not lead the troops!"

"This ruler will promote you to vice director and you won't need to do anything. After this fight is over, based on your merit of manufacturing and designing these Source Energy Weapons, you will have enough merit to become a marquis when we return to Imperial City!" The Calm Martial Ruler then said to Chu Tian, "You are still young, so it isn't impossible for you to become a ruler in the future. This is a very good chance for you!"

Chu Tian gave a laugh, "Forget it, I'm not interested in the battle and even less interested in titles."

This was a good chance that fell from the skies.

Chu Tian did not need to do anything and as long as he followed the Calm Martial Ruler to the frontlines, he would be able to obtain a marquis title. If Chu Tian was a Southern Summer Marquis, naturally he would have a state assigned to him. Was there an even more stable position?

The War Hounds Tribe were vulnerable and could not stop the humans. If the Southern Summer Country launched a sneak attack and destroyed several tribes in one fell swoop, they would have a large chance of winning this war.

Chu Tian did not want this easy job, it was unknown what he was truly thinking.

The Calm Martial Ruler said with deep eyes, "You better carefully consider the pros and cons of this chance, this is not something that comes easily. Being given a marquis title is like reaching the sky. The Southern Summer King will have to give you some face and Miracle Commerce's backing will become even stronger!"
