Jiang Qing's prestige, supported by the masses!

The next day.

Jiang Qing sat cross-legged, his Martial Arts Qi boiling and surging.

The steaming vital energy was as thick as a sea, and Jiang Qing remained still within the sea of vital energy, his aura steadily increasing under the washing of infinite Spiritual Qi.

In the Void Realm above his head, the mansion enshrining the Martial Arts Divine Form emerged.

Jiang Qing's essence, Qi, and spirit converged upon the mansion, concentrating on engraving the profound patterns of Invincible Battle Intent onto the magnificent mansion.

During this process, Jiang Qing's aura grew rapidly, steadily climbing upward at an extremely stable pace.

Bang!

Time passed bit by bit, until the bright sun outside the window shone on Jiang Qing, and a sonic boom exploded.

The Martial Arts Divine Form had been completely inscribed with the unique patterns of Invincible Battle Intent, and its aura grew even stronger, filled with the immense power of Martial Arts Will.

Engraving the Martial Arts Battle Intent onto the Martial Arts Divine Form also signified Jiang Qing's Breakthrough to the intermediate stage of Martial Marquis.

Jiang Qing opened his eyes, clenched his fists, and a smile appeared on his face as he felt his strength increase once again.

"My Martial Arts has reached the intermediate Martial Marquis stage, and my Civilization Master path has reached the intermediate Wind Rider stage. The feeling of improving my Cultivation every day is truly exhilarating!"

Jiang Qing stood up, and his body, which had been silent all night, immediately let out crisp cracking sounds like popping beans.

After stretching his limbs, Jiang Qing changed into a new set of clothes and went to eat.

More than half an hour later, Jiang Qing, full and satisfied, rode his Crimson Cloud Demon Tiger, escorted by Guard Captain Su Xing and a group of personal guards, leaving the front-line defense and returning to West City, the military garrison city behind the Human Race defense line in the original Western Frontier Battlefield.

West City is the closest military garrison city to the Human Race defense line, with a continuous supply of alien corpses sent down from the front line in waves. Over the years, merchants traveling to and from various places would procure goods here before selling them elsewhere. After decades, it has become prosperous and flourishing, a first-tier major city.

From afar, one could see crowds of people at the city gate, and shops lined both sides of the street outside the city gate. Shouts of vendors and the voices of passersby intertwined, indicating its remarkable prosperity.

The Crimson Cloud Demon Tiger flew forward, gradually approaching the city gate.

"Champion Marquis is here!"

A sharp-eyed soldier on the city wall spotted Jiang Qing from afar and immediately let out an uncontrollable gasp of surprise.

As his words fell, it instantly caused a commotion among everyone at the city gate.

Everyone turned their heads to look, and at a glance, they saw Jiang Qing riding on the Crimson Cloud Demon Tiger. Immediately, their eyes lit up with excitement, and they shouted loudly, "Champion Marquis is here!"

From afar, even before Jiang Qing arrived, everyone, regardless of age, immediately prostrated themselves, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to Jiang Qing, "Greetings, Champion Marquis!"

"Elder, please rise quickly."

The Crimson Cloud Demon Tiger swiftly arrived at the city gate. Jiang Qing immediately dismounted to help an elderly man, but just as he was about to help him up, the old man said,

"Champion Marquis should accept this bow from a humble old man like me. Both of my sons died on the front line. They fought for the Federation and died defending our homeland, but they never saw the moment when the alien races were defeated before they died."

"It is you who led the Human Race army to this great victory, allowing a humble old man like me to see the day the alien races retreated. If I die and go to Yellow Springs, I can account for it to my two sons. You deserve this bow!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qing could only withdraw his hand and accept the bow.

After everyone had bowed, Jiang Qing extended his hand to help the elder up, and at the same time said, "Everyone, rise."

Only then did everyone excitedly stand up, crowding around Jiang Qing as they entered the city.

Upon hearing of Jiang Qing's arrival, crowds of people gathered on both sides of the street, looking out and surrounding Jiang Qing as if he were a mascot.

"Champion Marquis is here!"

People further away, hearing this news, also surged over frantically. They looked at Jiang Qing, their eyes filled with extreme fervor.

Amidst the surging crowd, Jiang Qing found it difficult to move forward and could only advance very slowly, step by step.

Helpless, Jiang Qing could only follow the slow-moving crowd, while smiling and responding to everyone who greeted him.

As he walked, Jiang Qing saw that the shops on both sides of the street, like the front-line defenses, had hung red lanterns. Everyone on the road was smiling joyfully, feeling happy from within.

With the great victory on the front line, West City, as one of the military supply cities, was naturally overjoyed, because many families in West City had people serving as soldiers in the front-line defenses. As one of the military garrison cities, many people's best choice after graduation or failing exams was to join the army.

Their family members achieving merits on the front line naturally brought them immense joy.

Even if they did not have family members serving as soldiers on the front line, the great victory of the Human Race and the strength of the Federation would benefit every one of them, and others would also be happy about it.

The shops on both sides of the street had all posted different notices, offering discounts voluntarily due to the great victory on the front line, to celebrate the end of this great victory.

In such an atmosphere, Jiang Qing, the Champion Marquis, the leader of the great victory and a rising new star of the Great Xia Federation, naturally received the adoration of everyone.

It is no exaggeration to say that his reputation has already resounded throughout the entire Great Xia Federation, becoming a role model for parents educating their children, especially in some border military cities where preparations are already underway to cast statues of him.

After three major battles, Jiang Qing is not far from leaving a Saint statue in the Human Clan Saint Hall.

To ascend to the Human Clan Saint Hall and become a Human Race Saint whose name is recorded in history, one essentially needs two things: one is to make great contributions to the Human Race, and the other is to achieve groundbreaking accomplishments in a certain Dao.

Jiang Qing has already accomplished the first point; he has reclaimed the land seized by the alien races for the Human Race, greatly increasing the Human Race's power.

The only thing lacking is not having made groundbreaking achievements in a certain Dao. Once this is done, Jiang Qing can leave a Saint statue in the Human Clan Saint Hall again, just like in the previous placement, becoming a Military Strategist Saint of the Human Race.

Crowded along the way, it took Jiang Qing more than an hour to reach the West City Civilization Teacher Association.

If he hadn't finally stated his intention and asked the crowd to make way, it would have taken several more hours to arrive if he had continued at a slow pace.

Civilization Teacher Association.

An official organization similar to the Martial Artist Alliance, every Civilization Master must register with the Civilization Teacher Association, which gathers all the powerful Civilization Masters of a city.

All kinds of facilities needed by Civilization Masters are also located here.

For example, the Cultivation Technique appraisal device that Jiang Qing needs to use this time can appraise improved Cultivation Techniques, Physical Body Body Tempering methods, Mental Meditation methods, and Martial Arts secret techniques, etc.

"Greetings, Champion Marquis!"

Upon entering the Civilization Teacher Association, all the Civilization Masters he encountered along the way respectfully saluted him.

Jiang Qing greeted each of them, showing his amiability.

He walked all the way to the depths of the association, to the room where the Cultivation Technique appraisal device was located.
