Chapter 354 Secret Technique
He looked himself over, puzzled, and asked, "Really? I don't feel anything at all?"
Chao Bufan shook his head and smiled, saying, "Cultivation is something that you can't improve just because you want to. It comes from your own careful cultivation. External things only serve as a bridge. The key is still yourself. As the president of the country, you are busy with countless affairs every day and don't have much time to calm down and cultivate. Naturally, your cultivation will improve more slowly."
He sighed slightly and said, "The lifeline of the entire country is in my hands, no wonder I'm busy. I'm so envious of Old Tang and the others. They've put aside their work and are focusing on cultivation. If I want to catch up with them, I don't know when I'll be able to."
Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "Boss, if you are not satisfied with your current cultivation level, I can help you improve it by another level. However, I am afraid it will not be of much use. After all, it is a waste of time to do something imposed on someone if there is no time to consolidate it."
He said, "As long as I can improve, I will make time to cultivate, no matter how busy I am."
Chao Bufan nodded and said, "Alright, I'll help you improve your cultivation now. But I have to make this clear first. You are currently only at the peak of the Heaven Realm. I can only help you improve to the mid-Earth Realm at most. If I improve you any further, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it. If things go wrong, you might explode and die."
He nodded and said, "Yes, I know that."
Chao Bufan reached out and said, "Then give me your hand."
Without hesitation, the leader reached out and grasped the chairman's hand. With a thought, he released the hand and said, "It's ready. How does it feel?"
He was overjoyed and said, "I feel like I have inexhaustible energy in my body!"
Chao Bufan laughed and said, "Remember to put more effort into your cultivation, otherwise your cultivation level will regress."
He nodded heavily and said, "Yes, I know."
Chao Bufan smiled again, then looked at Lao Tang and the others. Seeing that they were all staring at him as if they wanted to eat him alive, he laughed and said, "Don't look at me like that. I will definitely help you if I can."
Upon hearing this, Old Tang and the others quickly looked away and smiled in unison. The old leader's expression turned serious, and he said, "Bufan, now it's time to talk about serious business."
Chao Bufan nodded, and the old chief asked again, "Bufan, when do you plan to go to Ancient L Country?"
Chao Bufan thought for a moment and said, "In the next few days, why?"
The old commander glanced at Lao Tang, as if seeking his opinion. Seeing Lao Tang nod, he said, "It's like this, in this international drug trafficking gang we took down, wasn't there a guy named Charlie in it?"
Chao Bufan nodded and said, "There is such a person. What's wrong?"
The head of the group said, "The heads of the embassies of several countries, including M, Y, H, R, and F, caused trouble in our country yesterday, saying that their people had been arrested by our HX police and that we should release them within 72 hours! They also said that if we do not release them, they will join other countries to impose comprehensive economic sanctions on HX."
Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "Then what did our police say?"
The chairman gave a bitter smile and said, "They're all dead. What else can we say? Would they believe us if we said they were drug dealers?"
Chao Bufan nodded and said, "If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext. Boss, what do you plan to do?"
He smiled slightly and said frankly, "What else can we do? If we want to sanction HX's economy, we'll have to see what price they have to pay."
Old Tang continued, "This is extraordinary; it's not as simple as economic sanctions."
Chao Bufan nodded and said, "I know that. They're just looking for a plausible excuse."
He said, “These countries wouldn’t dare to act recklessly openly, but we should also prepare for the worst. I plan to visit a few countries that are friendly with HX to see if they can lend a helping hand. If we can get them involved, that would be much easier; if they are unwilling to help, then we will have to face it alone. As the saying goes, when soldiers come, we will block them; when water comes, we will dam it.”
Chao Bufan nodded and said "Mm," then continued, "We're not afraid of open attacks, but we are afraid of them using covert ones. I have strengthened our defenses on land, sea, and air, and we are ready for a level one battle. No matter which country it is, if they dare to fire the first shot, we will immediately retaliate with an atomic bomb. There is no doubt about that."
Chao Bufan said, "When the country is in trouble, every citizen has a responsibility. Boss, please rest assured, I will not hesitate to do my part. Any cultivator from their country who dares to set foot in our HX's pure land and cause trouble, I will kill him without hesitation."
He smiled slightly and said, "With your words, I can rest assured."
Afterwards, Chao Bufan chatted with the leader and others for a while. Then, Chao Bufan stood up and asked, "Boss, is there anything else?"
He shook his head and said, "No more."
Old Tang asked, "Bufan, where's Qianqian?"
Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "Qianqian and her group of sisters have gone out to play. Boss, old chief, I have something to do, so I won't keep them company."
He said, "Go ahead and do what you need to do. I'm going back to the capital soon."
……
In the Dillon Bar, Su Haijun sat alone in his office, his expression serious, as if he were making a difficult decision. After a long while, Su Haijun gritted his teeth and said, "Senior, I've made up my mind. As long as I can possess supreme power, I'm willing to offer my soul as collateral."
"Are you really sure?" the evil one asked.
Su Haijun nodded heavily and replied decisively, "Yes, I've thought it through."
The evil one gave a bitter laugh and said, "Boy, I still advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible, because the price to pay for it is too high. If you pawn your own soul, what can you use to redeem it? What can compare to your own soul?"
Upon hearing this, Su Haijun said fiercely, "Every man for himself, or the world will destroy him. At worst, I can just use the lives of my loved ones to redeem them. Besides, once I possess this mysterious and powerful force, I can also bring my dead relatives back to life, can't I?"
"That's true, but have you thought about what would happen if you couldn't redeem it?"
"When one attains enlightenment, even one's chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. If I cannot redeem myself, I believe my family will understand me, and I also believe they will not blame me."
"Sigh... Alright then, since you insist, I won't say any more. But before I impart this secret technique to you, I must personally tell you its origin..." The evil one paused, then continued, "This secret technique is exceptionally domineering. If one successfully cultivates it, one can stand above all others and dominate the Divine Wilderness. It was created by my master. My master had four disciples, and my master was one of them. After teaching each of them a different set of martial arts, my master disappeared. However, before leaving, he mentioned this supreme technique he created to my master and the others. To prevent my master and the others from secretly practicing it, he added a restriction to this technique. Any cultivator must exchange their soul or life for this supreme technique. Of course, exchanging one's life is unrealistic; without life, how can one cultivate?"
