The battle of the youth group of the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Conference is over.
But the battle of the adult group started right after the battle of the youth group.
Compared to the strongest group in the history of the youth group, which only had five great martial arts saints, among which Li Mi and Song Wuya were able to make breakthroughs on the spot, the quality of the adult group is obviously much higher.
Without exception, the ten contestants are all martial saints.
And they are all at least second-level Martial Saints.
Basically, they can do it even if what they do goes against their own martial arts will, they can still find excuses for themselves and it will not affect the performance of their strength.
But even so, it is still difficult for these martial saints to compete for the top three.
Because there are several third-level Martial Saints above them, and as many as three Ultimate Martial Saints.
It is the confrontation between these extreme martial saints that fully interprets the term "human weapons".
If it weren't for the fact that the competition stage of the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Association was made of vibrating rock with excellent vibration-absorbing effect, the divine power they erupted from every move could crack the floor.
You can break rocks with just a gesture of your hand.
The force of a full-force collision is enough to cause the ground to collapse, forming a large crater of one meter or even several meters.
It is no exaggeration to say that a blow delivered by a powerful martial artist is no less powerful than a grenade detonating.
Breaking walls, breaking rocks, and destroying houses are all a matter of course.
As long as you give them a little time, they can even break the load-bearing walls of a tall building and bring it down.
This is the reason why a martial saint could suppress a country with one person in the era before the rise of star refiners.
What's more...
The biggest advantage of humans over animals is their ability to use tools.
When a martial saint with supplies behind him holds a firearm and a heavy artillery, and uses his flexibility to engage in guerrilla warfare, it is only a matter of time before one can defeat a thousand or defeat ten thousand with one.
"Ultimate Martial Saint."
Li Mu watched the confrontation between the two figures on the stage.
He knew that even on the road to Martial Saint, he still had a short distance to go.
Especially when his mental attribute is only 26, which is still a long way from the 40 points of the Ultimate Martial Saint.
…
Time passes.
The adult category also welcomed a champion.
An extreme martial artist who was only forty-two years old and had a name thousands of miles long won the championship.
Wan Li Chang's surname is not Wan, but he ranked among the top three in the 10th World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament, and his amazing talent was quickly spotted by the Tianyuan royal family.
The royal family directly married a princess, gave him the surname Wan, and focused on training him.
He also lived up to the royal family's high expectations, and finally won the championship of the adult category at the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Conference, and received the title of Tian Yuan No. 1.
…
The adult competition is over, and the world's best martial arts tournament is truly over.
This triennial martial arts event that lasted for three months has also come to an end.
During this period, there were many forces approaching Li Mu who wanted to recruit her.
But it was basically blocked by the Su pulse.
In this process, Li Ma's heart was chilled, and Su Mai once again gave Li Ma a series of promises.
Not only did he plan to go to Dashang to buy a rare star weapon for him, he also gave the Li family a series of canonizations.
Li Mina's deceased father was named one of the top ten people who moved Taibai because of his hard work for countless years and the cultivation of talents like Li Mina.
As for various monetary and material rewards, there are not a few.
Even the Qin family got a lot of light.
Their company, which was faintly stuck in a bottleneck, also ushered in a new period of development.
But this is not the point. The point is that the Taibai Kingdom conferred the title of Viscount Li Shiquan.
An area of more than 1,000 square kilometers outside Jiangzhou City was directly designated as Li Mu's fiefdom.
The fief included three villages and towns, with a total of 120,000 people.
This is not a position or a lease, but an actual fiefdom.
All the output of this 1,033 square kilometers of land belongs to Li Ming, and 120,000 people are also under his jurisdiction.
As long as he doesn't commit some inhumane behavior here, no one will interfere even if he makes his own laws.
Except for the large-scale enfeoffment of fiefdoms at the beginning of its establishment, the Taibai Kingdom almost never had this kind of real power fiefdom in the long years that followed.
The last person to be canonized as an actual Earl was a star refiner who successfully entered the field of great star refiner fourteen years ago.
His fiefdom did not exceed 10,000 square kilometers.
This kind of treatment from Li Mu...
Many top star refiners don't have it.
…
At this time, on the way back, Su Mai was introducing the situation of his territory to Li Ma.
After the introduction, he also smiled and said: "Currently, among the top star refiners belonging to our Taibai family, there are only twenty-six nobles who have obtained fiefdoms, and there are only thirteen high-level star refiners. Your Majesty is willing to directly
Allocating 1,033 square kilometers south of the Liusha River to you fully reflects the importance His Majesty attaches to Li Wusheng."
Li Mu nodded slightly.
In fact, he didn't care too much about the so-called fiefdom.
First, his title of Viscount is not inheritable. In other words, once he encounters an accident and dies, his relatives and descendants will not have the right to inherit.
This is obviously a precaution taken by the royal family to prevent him from failing and dying when he reaches the ultimate level of sublimation and transforms into a star cultivator.
If he really fails to convert, all these rewards will be withdrawn.
And if he can successfully transfer to other majors...
It is reasonable for at least the top star refiners in the future to enjoy a fiefdom of more than a thousand square kilometers.
another point……
The land and population in this world are not as precious as imagined.
Before the Turbulent Era, the United Nations had a total of 804 countries.
With the end of the turbulent era, the six-pole pattern of the world was formed, and the Human Alliance was established.
The demise and birth of some countries over the years has left 166 countries, large and small, in the Alliance.
More than 600 countries were annexed, integrated, and destroyed.
Under this situation, a large amount of land fell into the hands of ferocious beasts and monsters, and humans were forced to significantly shrink their territory.
But those territories theoretically still belong to these countries.
The Taibai Kingdom obviously has a land area of more than six million square kilometers, but most of the population is concentrated in an area of less than one million square kilometers.
In addition, among the 166 countries, they can basically be divided into three levels.
Six poles of the world.
developed country.
and third world countries…
The countries at the top of the ranking of third world countries are better off. Because of minerals, economy, population, resources and other factors, the six poles of the world will give them some protection. However, those countries at the bottom of the ranking that even the six poles of the world look down upon,
Living completely in precarious conditions.
Take the 144th-ranked King Kong United Nations as an example, with a population of 310 million and a land area of more than 10 million square kilometers.
Of course, of the 10 million square kilometers of land, less than 2 million square kilometers are actually controlled by them.
If any star refiner is willing to go, he can easily obtain a large area of people and territory.
If you go to a high-level star refiner...
It would not be a problem to directly draw out more than 100,000 square kilometers and millions of people to establish a country and become a king in it.
Not to mention top star refiners.
This is why Li Fei said that the territory is worthless.
Of course, there is still no comparison between the King Kong United Nations and the Taibaek Kingdom.
It has been thirteen years since the great star refiner of this country fell, and no new great star refiner has been born in these thirteen years.
While this country is being threatened by ferocious beasts and monsters, top star refiners within the country are also standing on their own, and the war is endless.
Although there are tens of millions of square kilometers of territory and 310 million people, the total national GDP is still less than that of Jiangzhou City.
Not to mention the entire Jiangzhou.
It is estimated that each of the Five Elements Sect is richer than one of them.
War, poverty, disease, and threats from ferocious beasts and monsters are all over the land of this country, so much so that even though a high-level star refiner could dominate the country in the past, there are still no star refiners who will stay there for a long time.
After all, high-level star refiners can live a good life and enjoy a high status in any advanced and prosperous country. Although there is no way for one person to rule hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of territory and millions of people, but...
At least life safety is guaranteed.
Don't worry that when you wake up, you will be involved in a war between two top star refiners, or that a high-level monster has already arrived in front of the castle and uses him as a delicious tonic.
From these aspects, many Star Refiners would rather live in a country like Taibai and be a rich man with assets worth billions than go to the Vajra United Nations to govern hundreds of thousands of square kilometers and millions of subjects.
Time passes in communication.
The train stopped in the royal capital for a day, and Li Ma finally met His Majesty the King of the Taibai Kingdom and performed the canonization ceremony of Viscount.
However, he did not stay in the royal capital for long.
In just three days, he returned to Jiangzhou with Qin Rouran, Li Yunyao, Lin Xiaolu and others.
I don't know where the news was leaked.
When Ms. Li drove out of the train station in a special car, there was an overwhelming cheer from both sides of the train station.
On both sides of the street, tens of thousands of Jiangzhou citizens gathered spontaneously on the roadside, shouting heartily to welcome Li Mu's arrival.
At this moment, the entire Jiangzhou was calling his name - Li Ming.
…
"If you run for governor of Jiangzhou this term, there will definitely be no suspense."
In the car, Su Feiyu, who accompanied Li Mu to Jiangzhou, smiled and said.
"Forget it, politics...is not my strength."
Li Midao.
"Sometimes governing a place is not as difficult as you think. You only need to know how to use people and rely on your wisdom and strength to rule a state, because your existence is the best for the prosperity and stability of a state.
Assure."
Su Feiyu smiled slightly: "And... I believe that one day, you will become a star refiner and fight at the forefront of fighting ferocious beasts and monsters. With each victory, you will inspire everyone in Jiangzhou and Taibai, because you have left a mark on your body.
With the imprint of Jiangzhou, on that day, even if you are in Jiangzhou or do not hold any position in Taibai, you will become the uncrowned king of Jiangzhou and a spiritual symbol for everyone!"
Li Ma did not answer the call, but took a car and was escorted by the police car in front of her to the villa area where she lived.
At this time, the entire villa area was decorated, with banners, balloons and flowers hanging everywhere.
Countless neighbors who had rarely met each other walked out of their homes, stood by the road in costumes, and spontaneously welcomed Ms. Li's arrival.
And outside Li Mu's villa...
A series of Jiangzhou administrative officials, Qin You, Qin Guangming, Li Mu and others, were also waiting at the door.
this moment……
Only then did Li Ma truly realize what it means to honor one's ancestors and return home with great honor.
