In today's Blue Star, if the martial saint is the most powerful strategic weapon in the hands of the major powers, then the martial arts master is the most powerful tactical weapon.
Therefore, any slight change in the list of the top 500 martial arts masters will attract close attention from the intelligence agencies of various countries.
Soon, the changes in the list attracted the attention of all parties.
"The top 500 list has changed!"
"The data shows that eighty quasi-silver level experts have fallen down the rankings, and the last one has fallen off the list directly."
"The newly promoted martial artist does not have a combat record of the same level, but he parachuted directly to the 421st place. It can be determined that this is a master who has just been successfully promoted."
"The other party's intelligence data has confirmed that he is a member of the East Ji Kingdom, a freshman at Imperial University, and is eighteen years old."
"Ye Qingzhou! The youngest martial arts master in the history of Blue Star!"
After it was confirmed that the new person on the list was Ye Qingzhou, the intelligence officers of the world's major intelligence agencies all went crazy. This was an eighteen-year-old martial arts master!
As long as he doesn't die midway, the possibility of being promoted to the Martial Saint realm in the future is more than 90%!
The Judgment Sanctuary of the Scarlet Temple, the Excalibur Bureau of the Department of Homeland Strategic Security and Defense of the West Pole Kingdom, the 13th Section Film Agency of the European Union Secret Service in Europa...
One after another, the intelligence forces across Blue Star all operated at high speed. Through the world intelligence monitoring network they built, they quickly compiled all the information about Ye Qingzhou.
The inconspicuous primary school and junior high school stages...
My father disappeared and my mother remarried...
The high school years when I started to stand out...
Champion of Qinglan Sword Fighting Competition...
Fengchu Cup Competition Champion...
Won the Dongji Kingdom's "Quan Gaowu" championship for two consecutive years...
Special recruitment from the Martial Arts Department of the Imperial University of East China...
This is information that can be accessed publicly. Although for ordinary martial arts geniuses, Ye Qingzhou's resume is enough to be regarded as dazzling.
But in the eyes of a truly strong person, these are just children's games and are not worthy of attention at all.
But then, one piece after another of secret information began to be placed on the desk.
Ye Qingzhou is suspected of possessing the divine weapon Emperor Wu...
He was once ordered to guard Jiuli Cave Heaven and fight head-on with silver-level alien beasts. Although he was once defeated and fled in all directions, when he returned again, the alien beasts disappeared without a trace, and Ye Qingzhou himself was only slightly injured...
< br>
In addition, there is also the conflict between Ye Qingzhou and the Origin Blood Society, and the mysterious strongman ‘Jue Sword’ who appears inexplicably later to retaliate against the peripheral organizations of the Origin Blood Society...
Not long ago, in the large-scale blood sacrifice incident in Europe, Ye Qingzhou's junior high school classmates were kidnapped by the vampires, and then there were attacks on the Red Moon Order and the Louis family involved...
The originally scattered intelligence and information, now one by one, all point to Ye Qingzhou in a unified manner, and the answer is self-evident.
"Danger! Danger! This person is extremely hostile to the Western world and must be killed!"
"Gavin, the wise knight of the Origin Blood Society, died in battle, and the Red Moon Order was almost completely destroyed. Both major incidents are suspected to be related to this person. What does the intelligence department of the Shadow Agency do? Why didn't they notice it in advance? How could they let this happen? The martial arts geniuses of Dongji Kingdom have grown up, and you are the sinners of the Western countries!”
In the intelligence alliance formed by the West Pole Kingdom and the European countries, the representative of the West Pole Country yelled.
Not to be outdone, the person in charge of Lesson 13 retorted on the spot: "Who asked you to come to France to hold a large-scale blood sacrifice without saying hello, and you chose the fashion capital? I haven't even asked you about the West Pole Kingdom. What does it mean! ”
"Hmph! If Knight Gavin doesn't become a god, who will deal with Zhang Xinwu? Do you rely on you old stubborn Europa who are about to rot and stink? What's more, the people who die most in the fashion capital are Ni and Yue people. We in the West Pole Kingdom This is helping you clean up the garbage population. It’s okay for you to be ungrateful. What the hell are you still doing here?”
"It's so funny, don't you think there are too many Nis in Xinxiang in your West Country? Why don't you hold a blood sacrifice in Xinxiang?"
"Shit, I won't allow you to insult the great Xinxiang!"
"Enough!"
Seeing the quarrel among the people below, One-Eyed Nick, the director of the Sky Sword Bureau, shouted loudly to stop the quarrel between the two parties. At this moment, his face was darker than the bottom of the pot.
Well, in a physical sense, he has a dark face because he is a Nigerian.
"Do you want to give me a blood sacrifice?"
One-eyed Nick looked at the two noisy parties with an unkind look on his face. His sharp eyes seemed to penetrate the screen, turn into a sharp sword, and pierce the hearts of these idiots.
The people he glared at didn't dare to argue at this moment. They lowered their heads and stopped talking.
"Arguing can't solve the problem. The most important thing now is how to deal with this 'trouble'."
The 'trouble' in One-Eyed Nick's mouth naturally refers to Ye Qingzhou.
Since the establishment of the Divine Sword Bureau, its style of conduct has always been simple and crude. There are only two things it is best at - bribery and assassination.
When you encounter outstanding talents, try to buy them first.
If bribery fails, then assassination will be carried out directly.
It's a pity that Ye Qingzhou grew up too fast. He was an ordinary high school student two years ago, and now he has become a martial arts master.
Unless a powerful person at the level of a Golden Martial Saint is used, how can the Divine Sword Bureau assassinate a grandmaster? Use a Gatling gun to scrape, or use a Tomahawk missile to give Ye Qingzhou a bubble bath?
The powerful life energy level and spiritual energy level of the grandmaster level have already destined that ordinary assassination methods will not work at all, not to mention that on the territory of Dongji Kingdom, the difficulty of doing things has increased exponentially.
"Which of you can do something?"
Nick looked around the audience. In the virtual conference room, all the heads of the intelligence departments present looked at each other. It was obvious that no one had anything to do.
"I'm afraid it's difficult."
"Yes, the Origin Blood Society, which was originally deeply involved in the East Ji Country, has now suffered heavy losses. The wise knight Gavin died in the battle, and many peripheral organizations were also wiped out by Ye Qingzhou. A lot of information about the East Ji Country is now difficult to pass on."
"Where is the person in charge of the Origin Blood Society?"
"This..."
"Smith also died in the fashion capital, and now the entire Origin Blood Society is facing disintegration."
It is obvious that almost all the top leaders of the Origin Blood Society have been wiped out. The remaining people are either not qualified enough or do not have enough prestige to integrate the huge multinational organization of the Origin Blood Society. The entire organization has fallen into chaos.
Nick had a headache after hearing this, and even his blind left eye began to hurt.
And just when everyone was frowning, a new communication request was received in the virtual conference room, and in the seat originally vacated due to the absence of the Origin Blood Society, there was an additional figure.
This man was wearing a cloak and his body was covered with bandages. The deformed flesh and blood was exposed at the small seams, and the scarlet flesh buds were constantly squirming like tiny tentacles, which made people sick.
"The power of the Origin Blood Society will be taken over by our Kabbalah in the future."
The hoarse voice spreads through the Internet, piercing everyone's eardrums like a sharp cone, reaching the depths of the soul, carving deep fear and uneasiness.
"Kabbalah!"
"The Divine Tree of Life!"
"Damn it, it's the Plaguebringer!"
Even across the screen, everyone was trying to avoid him. Even the one-eyed Nick, the director of the Excalibur Bureau who pretended to be calm, had a solemn expression on his face at this moment: "What do you want to do?"
Kabbalah, the tree of life in the Garden of Eden in myths and legends, was picked by God himself and represents the only way to the kingdom of God - the evolutionary path of life.
However, the being in charge of this tree is a terrifying being - the Plague Knight among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in the Book of Revelation!
"Why are you afraid of plagues and distortions? Humanity itself is the result of the plague and brain distortion caused by the ancient human race after eating the fruit of wisdom. This is a glorious path of evolution, even if it involves a small sacrifice, It’s a price worth paying.”
Plaguebringer grinned.
Two rows of shark-like sharp teeth were exposed, and snake-like Nobuko licked back and forth between the teeth.
"A small sacrifice? Is the price you're talking about exterminating 99% of the Blue Star population?" Upon hearing this, Nick's already dark face turned even darker, and his only single eye was exposed. He stared at the Plaguebringer with vigilant eyes.
The other party smiled nonchalantly and said: "Don't worry, we won't take action until the horn of doom blows. We are here just to help you solve your troubles."
"Do you have a way to deal with Ye Qingzhou?"
Nick does not trust the Plaguebringer. Within the seemingly huge camp in the Western World, all parties actually have their own agendas and cannot be completely united.
Even the Divine Sword Bureau and Judgment Sanctuary, which have always acted in extreme ways, believe that the ideas of these lunatics who follow the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are too extreme.
For the sake of their beliefs, they can even destroy the world.
But this time, the plague messenger did not come to spread the doomsday virus. His target, like Nick and others, was Ye Qingzhou.
"This World Martial Arts Competition will be held in Japan. At that time, we in Kabala will personally deal with Ye Qingzhou. And you only need to provide necessary assistance in terms of intelligence."
Nick knows very well that the Plague Cult under the Plague Knight is a group of lunatics, and the 'capture operation' they call will definitely be very crazy and even hurt innocent people.
But since the location is Japan, Nick naturally has no objection: "Yes, but if something happens, you must inform us in advance and let us arrange for the evacuation of the local garrison."
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
"Quack~"
The hoarse laughter of the Plaguebringer echoed in the conference room: "Don't worry, there won't be too much trouble."
"Humph, I hope so."
Nick didn't even believe the punctuation mark of Plaguebringer's promise.
This group of lunatics regard human life as nothing, and they don’t know what terrible things they will do in Japan this time. Even Nick is a little worried about whether the local West Pole garrison will be affected.
…………
Domestically, the changes in the Top 500 list also caused a major earthquake.
The martial arts world in Dongji Kingdom was in a state of excitement, and the ‘Tianxia Lunwu’ program immediately ‘kicked’ Ye Qingzhou off the Qianlong Ranking.
After all, calling a martial arts master a 'hidden dragon' is somewhat disrespectful.
In Linjiang City, Zheng Zhiguang, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, smiled from ear to ear all day long after seeing the news. The initial investment in Ye Qingzhou has now yielded unimaginable excess returns!
With a grand master as his escort, Linjiang Chamber of Commerce's business is obviously enough to go beyond Hunan Province and enter the national market!
What's more, Ye Qingzhou is still so young.
For an eighteen-year-old Grandmaster, with such outstanding talent, it is probably only a matter of time before he becomes a Martial Saint.
In the office, Zheng Shuyi looked annoyed, thinking that if she had worked harder, she might have been able to fly up a branch and become a phoenix.
Zheng Zhiguang's nephew Yunyuan was also lamenting at this moment.
Now, he already knows that Ye Qingzhou is the 'Absolute Sword', so he understands better than the outside world how terrifying Ye Qingzhou's martial arts qualifications are.
Before becoming a martial arts master, Ye Qingzhou had already possessed the combat power of a martial arts master. It can be seen that the level rules of martial arts are used to measure ordinary martial arts masters, and they cannot restrict a peerless genius like Ye Qingzhou.
"No, I have to go to the Imperial Capital in person."
Zheng Zhiguang was happy, but then he thought that with Ye Qingzhou's current identity and status, there were many large capitals who wanted to cooperate with him. Although he made his bet early, he could not leave things like emotional contact behind.
Zheng Shuyi was puzzled: "Uncle, don't you have a very important business to discuss in Star City?"
"Just send someone else to discuss business matters. For things like connecting relationships, I have to go there in person to show my sincerity."
In Zheng Zhiguang's view, no matter how big the business is now, it is not as important as consolidating the previous friendly relationship with Ye Qingzhou. What is more important, a smart person like him can naturally figure it out.
Teito University, second floor of the cafeteria.
The phone in his pocket rang. Ye Qingzhou took it out and took a look. He found that it was an unfamiliar number and hung up immediately.
Xu Yuebing, who was across the table, saw this and asked curiously: "Who is calling, won't you answer the call?"
"I don't know. Recently, people call me every day to discuss cooperation. It's really annoying."
Ye Qingzhou was busy preparing for the Tianjian Cup to qualify for the World Martial Arts Competition. How could he bother to listen to investment advice from a group of tigers, leopards and wolves playing in financial capital?
Xu Yuebing smiled upon hearing this: "I guess your previous number was leaked. Now you can be said to be a hot commodity in the financial market."
"Financial markets?"
Ye Qingzhou looked confused: "I am a martial artist, so I have nothing to do with finance, right?"
"Why can't I hit you?"
Xu Yuebing was born in a martial arts family, so naturally he knows the inside story better than Ye Qingzhou about the twists and turns in this area: "Don't you know that martial arts families can also be packaged and listed on the market? Finance and stocks, to put it bluntly, are just expectations, especially in A civilian martial artist like you who has no power at all is the most valuable potential stock in their eyes.”
With Xu Yuebing's patient explanation, Ye Qingzhou finally figured out the twists and turns.
To put it bluntly, the common martial arts family is poor, but the martial arts practitioner is a gold-swallowing giant beast.
Just to advance to the professional level, the cost is more than 10 million. It is a pity to know how high the cost of practicing at the master level and grand master level is. For ordinary civilians, it is absolutely an astronomical sum.
What should civilian martial artists do if they can't come up with this money?
You can’t wait until you have enough money to start practicing, right?
From this, a special investment model was born.
Some well-known professional ninth-level martial arts masters, in order to raise the cost of upgrading, will use financial means to package themselves and go public and raise funds from the stock market.
Once the impact on the master realm is successful, the income will be enough to cover the previous investment costs, and even a lot of extra money can be given back to shareholders as dividends.
In the same way, master-level and grandmaster-level martial artists can also do this. Even some strong men from martial arts families will use this method to cut leeks in the stock market.
After all, the landlords don’t have any surplus food, so it’s good to save whatever they can.
Win, everyone is happy.
If you lose, the price will be borne by the investor.
After Ye Qingzhou heard this, he was stunned: "These people in finance really know how to play."
But thinking about it carefully, Ye Qingzhou felt something was wrong: "Wait a minute, how come financial institutions account for the majority of the dividends? Doesn't this mean that they sold me and want to share the money from my prostitution with me?" < br>
Xu Yuebing smiled and rolled her eyes at Ye Qingzhou: "Do you think financial institutions are doing charity? And for civilian martial artists, such a price is acceptable. After all, without this financing, it would be too difficult for them to advance."< br>
Then Xu Yuebing asked with a smile: "If you really want to package yourself as a financial product and go public for financing, I can help."
Obviously, the Linjiang Xu family has the connections in this area.
In fact, the martial arts family keeps pace with the times when it comes to profitable things. Many of the martial arts even passed down from family to family are poorly practiced, but the packaging and hype of going public and raising money are just a slippery slope.
Why organize a private competition by yourself, then manipulate the rankings and results of the competition through fake matches, and then hype it in the media to make money from the stock market and make a lot of money?
Ye Qingzhou waved his hand: "Forget it, I am not short of money myself, and it is easy to be promoted to Martial Saint. There is no need to share dividends with others."
More importantly, Ye Qingzhou did not intend to make such easy money, so he fell deeply into a state of indulgence, unable to extricate himself, and even lost his will to forge ahead.
As a martial artist, martial arts practice is always the first priority.
Ye Qingzhou's determination and persistence made Xu Yuebing even more kind to him. His shining eyes were completely filled with his figure: "Now you only need to actively prepare for the Tianjian Cup. I will take care of other things." Let your family handle it for you.”
"Yeah."
Ye Qingzhou nodded, he was determined to win the Tianjian Cup championship.
In the following days, Xu Wanqing and Xu Yinchuan came to the imperial capital in person and purchased a property. In order to allow Ye Qingzhou to concentrate on his cultivation, the couple directly stopped everyone who wanted to get close to Ye Qingzhou.
Except for Zheng Zhiguang and other people who invested in Ye Qingzhou early, it is obviously too late to get on the bus now. (End of chapter)
