After the second wave of the Spiritual Qi resurgence, the Dragon Kingdom experienced a revival of spiritual energy.
To attract more Martial Dao talents back to serve the nation and prevent them from being lured away by foreign "sugar-coated bullets," the Dragon Kingdom organized a Martial Dao Assembly under the guise of a private initiative.
Winning the top prize in this assembly would naturally bring both fame and fortune, with limitless future prospects.
"I've got it!"
Liu Zhong nodded gravely and hurried away.
In less than an hour, Blue Star's internet was flooded with information about the Dragon Kingdom's Martial Dao Assembly.
"Holy crap... The national Martial Dao Assembly's first prize is ten billion?!"
"Hongmen is leading this? Holy shit, that's insane."
"Heh, Hongmen has hundreds of thousands of disciples worldwide. The first prize is probably going to their own guy anyway. The prize money is just a shell game—pure hype!"
"It's not just the first prize! The top 50 finishers get prizes too."
"This doesn't feel right..."
"Just one week left, bros! The chance to marry a rich beauty and reach the pinnacle of life is right here! I'm logging off, shutting down, and going to cultivate!"
"Ah! My husband is on the National Battlefield! If he returns, it'll be a guaranteed ten billion!"
"This must have official backing! Just the return of Hongmen's hundreds of thousands of disciples would significantly boost the country's Martial Dao strength."
"I agree. Even without Dragon Kingdom's incentives, they'd likely return anyway. The Spiritual Qi here is incomparably purer than abroad!"
"I need to cultivate! I want to become a Grandmaster!"
Using the Martial Dao Assembly as a catalyst, Dragon Kingdom not only attracted numerous martial arts talents but also established a tiered ranking system for practitioners based on their strength.
The Kimchi Kingdom's Dead Sticks with their Blue Belts and Black Belts were like a dye shop, churning them out indiscriminately.
Dragon Kingdom's system ranged from First to Seventh-Rank, with those surpassing Seventh-Rank honored as Martial Dao Grandmasters.
Thus, with the resurgence of Spiritual Qi, the golden age of martial artists had truly begun.
Simultaneously, all major sects like Hongmen, Shaolin, and Wudang, as well as lesser-known factions and traditional triads like the Green Gang, received an irresistible decree:
**Eliminate the traitors!**
Any organization with a Martial Dao background began strictly investigating its disciples and their descendants.
Those showing even the slightest inclination to betray the sect would be forced to retire with dignity.
If any unfilial descendants refused to accept this dignified retirement, the Master's Sect would help them achieve it for the sake of its reputation.
On the National Battlefield, Qin Feng flew north for a long time without any success.
"As expected, the Fog of War is entirely desert terrain!"
Qin Feng flew north out of the Fog of War, while Jarvis flew south out of it, also without any success.
The desert terrain couldn't support large monsters, let alone provide any resources.
Fortunately, after exiting the Fog of War in both directions, they entered mountainous and hilly terrain.
"There should be wild monsters here, right?" Qin Feng muttered, continuing his exploration northward.
Not long after, a Battlefield Notification changed his plans.
**Battlefield Notification: Congratulations to Meichuan Ku, Guardian of the Sakura Kingdom, for discovering a 400,000-ton C-Class resource point—an open-pit oilfield.
"The Sakura Kingdom got incredibly lucky! They discovered the first C-Class resource point."
Qin Feng was furious.
Not only him, but Dragon Kingdom citizens across Blue Star let out wails of anguish.
"Heaven is unfair! Those Little Devils actually found the oilfield—and an open-pit one at that, 400,000 tons!"
"Ugh, 400,000 tons x 100... how much is that?"
"Forty million tons! That's equivalent to the entire Daqing Oilfield!"
"Holy shit! Heaven is unfair!"
"Hahaha, Die, Kuwabara! You've discovered a massive oilfield for the Empire! No more being choked by oil from now on!"
"Exactly! Let those Chink Pigs seethe with jealousy!"
"Damn it, are there any Little Devils in the Dragon Kingdom's live chat? Brothers, attack! Spam them to death!"
"You damn Little Devils! I'll crawl through the internet and strangle you! Get lost now!"
"Yohoho, if you're a man, come over here."
"..."
While the Sakura Kingdom netizens were gloating, Meichuan Ku stood with his hands on his hips on the National Battlefield, raising his face to the sky and roaring with laughter.
"Hahaha, yes! Yes, I, Meichuan Ku, am truly the chosen one! I discovered the first C-grade resource point! Hahaha!"
"But where are the wild monsters guarding this resource point? I don't see any."
"It's a C-grade resource point, so it won't be easy. Should we call Matsushita over?"
While Meichuan Ku was still hesitating, the next National War Notification completely stunned him.
**National War Notification**: C-grade resource point discovered by Sakura Kingdom Guardian Meichuan Ku, coordinates (2334, 8733).
**Note**: Coordinates of C-grade and above resource points will be broadcast across the entire battlefield. Discoverers are urged to claim them as quickly as possible.
Meichuan Ku: *Pfft!*
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Baka! Why is this happening?!"
"Hahaha, this is hilarious! Look at the little Japanese guy's face, he looks just like Sima Yi!"
"Heh, all that joy turned to sorrow. Serves him right, doesn't it?"
"What were the coordinates again? Can Great God Qin Feng get there in time?"
"Great God Qin Feng has stopped. He might be calculating the distance."
"Ah, looks like it's pretty far."
"How far can it be? Even flying there wouldn't be enough time?"
Before this, no one had ever discovered a C-grade resource point.
Even D-grade points were rare; most were E-Class.
When guardians found these resource points, they would leisurely hunt the wild monsters and claim them.
Unexpectedly, Meichuan Ku had struck gold. He thought finding a C-grade resource point was lucky, but little did he know...
"No, we have to secure this quickly! Baka, where are the wild monsters guarding this resource?!"
Meichuan Ku scanned his surroundings anxiously, his toes nearly digging a hole in the ground.
But all he saw was the pitch-black, open-air oilfield, surrounded by thousands of meters of barren land with not a single blade of grass in sight.
"No more delays!"
Meichuan Ku made a swift decision and notified his teammates to come help.
Eagle Country - George: Meichuan Ku, don't panic! I'm coming to help!
Seeing this message in the chat, Meichuan Ku's heart sank.
But it wasn't over yet...
Bear Country - Andrei: Hahaha, a C-grade resource point! The warriors of Bear Country are here! Ura!
**Rotten Kingdom - Wilson:** Looking at the coordinates, it seems a bit far from us. But everyone, hold on! C-grade resources are treacherous; you won't be able to handle it! Let me handle this!
**Kimchi Kingdom - Park Jeonghwan:** As the strongest combatant among the Guardians, wielding the only D-Class weapon, the Spirit-Slaying Blade, our Kimchi Kingdom has an undeniable claim to this C-grade resource point!
**Guardians:** You're dreaming! Does the Spirit-Slaying Blade have a debuff that lowers your IQ?!
**...**
The Guardians, regardless of distance or ability to reach the location, were as excited as if it were New Year's.
Those too far away still cheered and howled in the chat, making Meichuan Ku, the discoverer, feel increasingly anxious.
Even his godfather was coming?
If the Eagle Country arrived, what would be left for his Sakura Kingdom?!
Meichuan Ku was burning with anxiety, praying for his teammates to arrive quickly.
Fortunately, the person he feared most, Qin Feng, remained silent.
"It's probably just too far away."
Qin Feng was indeed calculating the distance and time.
"We can make it if we hurry," he muttered.
