94: Chapter 94 A Shocking Change in the Cabin

He couldn't dump all the money on himself.

The Northern Territory Branch had been dismantled into ruins by Nether Dragon Venerable and Xue You.

Most of the outer walls had collapsed, the defensive arrays were completely shattered, and the logistics had been thoroughly wiped out.

Weapons were emptied, and potions were exhausted.

After calculating back and forth, keeping four billion as a safety net was about right. As for the remaining nearly six billion, he would go all in!

In the current world of Great Xia, money couldn't protect one's life; only strength could.

As a 1st-Grade Martial Venerable, he still had to activate Berserk to fight Xue You to the death. If he encountered those old-school Martial Venerable demon beasts or even stronger demon overlords, his chances of winning were questionable.

Li Zhengyang opened the system and brought up the top-up interface. He entered the amount: 6,000,000,000. He clicked confirm.

[Top-up complete] [Deducted 6,000,000,000 great xia currency] [Obtained 60,000,000 Qi and Blood points]

Sixty million Qi and Blood points. A massive amount of Qi and Blood was generated in his dantian, the total volume far exceeding any previous accumulation.

A crimson-gold light burst through his pores, instantly illuminating the entire cabin. The Qi and Blood surged up along his meridians, and his bones began to hum.

The Tyrannosaurus Bone devoured the Qi and Blood greedily, its bone structure becoming compact as its density soared crazily. The barrier of the 1st-Grade Martial Venerable was shattered on the spot.

[Realm Breakthrough: 1st-Grade Martial Venerable → 2nd-Grade Martial Venerable]

The flow of Qi and Blood did not stop. His meridians were forcibly widened, and the original pathways became incredibly vast.

[Realm Breakthrough: 2nd-Grade Martial Venerable → 3rd-Grade Martial Venerable]

The energy surge continued. The remaining Qi and Blood gathered in the center of his dantian. The Qi and Blood were forcefully compressed and purified, transforming into a viscous liquid state.

Crimson-gold blood surged through his blood vessels, emitting a thunderous roar.

[Realm Breakthrough: 3rd-Grade Martial Venerable → 4th-Grade Martial Venerable]

The notification sounds ended. Li Zhengyang opened his eyes. The crimson-gold light receded, retreating back into his body.

He opened his hand, then clenched it fiercely. "Bang!" The air in his palm was directly squeezed into a sonic boom by his grip strength.

4th-Grade Martial Venerable, mid-stage Martial Venerable. A threshold that others would struggle to cross even after decades of cultivation, he had achieved in less than a quarter of an hour. This money was well spent.

Now, if he were to encounter Nether Dragon Venerable and Xue You working together again, he could run them through with his physical strength alone.

...

Outside the aircraft. Two escort fighters were positioned on either side of pojun no. 1. Inside the cockpit of the left fighter.

Pilot Zhang Ming stared at the dashboard in front of him. The radar screen lit up brightly, and the alarm wailed.

A super-high-energy source appeared at the center of the radar, with coordinates located inside the pojun no. 1 ahead. The energy intensity far exceeded the upper limit of the military detector.

Zhang Ming pressed the intercom. "Captain, pojun no. 1 is showing a high-energy reaction."

The captain of the other fighter responded: "I see it. The anti-interference system is sounding an alarm..."

Before he could finish, the radar screen showed static lines, followed by a screen full of snow. It was completely paralyzed.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Zhang Ming's back. They were in the heart of Great Xia, ten thousand meters in the air. Had they been ambushed? Or had a spatial rift opened inside the cabin?

If it had been an ordinary transport plane, it would have disintegrated under such high-energy impact. Fortunately, pojun no. 1 was an S-grade profound iron fighter, with a sturdy outer shell that didn't fall apart.

Zhang Ming placed his hand on the weapon safety cover and switched to the internal frequency. "pojun no. 1, this is Dong Guai."

"Your radar is offline. Is there any situation inside the cabin? Have you encountered an attack? Please answer."

Inside the cabin of pojun no. 1. The loudspeaker transmitted Zhang Ming's call. Li Zhengyang glanced around.

There were several outward-bulging indentations on the bulletproof armor of the cabin walls. That was caused by the release of his Qi and Blood during his breakthrough just now.

He pressed the talk button. "Dong Guai, this is Minister Li Zhengyang."

Hearing this calm tone, Zhang Ming breathed a sigh of relief. "Minister, a super-high-energy reaction was detected in your cabin, and the military radar was paralyzed for ten seconds. Was there an enemy attack?"

"No enemy attack."

"Then what was that energy alarm just now?"

"Nothing, I was just bored and practicing for a while. I didn't hold back my Qi and Blood, so a little leaked out."

There was no reply on the radio for a long time, only static. Zhang Ming's hand gripping the joystick slipped.

Practicing and failing to hold back a little bit of leaked Qi and Blood burned out a military-grade anti-interference radar for a ten-second blind spot?

Zhang Ming suppressed the shock in his heart. "Understood, Dong Guai will continue to escort."

He turned off the external microphone and switched back to the wingman channel. "Captain, any abnormalities?"

"None."

"You believe it was just a little bit of Qi and Blood leaked from the Minister practicing?"

"That's not right, is it?" the wingman captain lowered his voice.

"In the documents sent from above, Minister Li just promoted to Martial Venerable. But with this kind of commotion, even when Venerable Lei passed through our defense zone, he didn't burn out the radar."

Zhang Ming looked at the pojun no. 1 in front. "It seems that in the future, when we fly his private plane, we must apply for a replacement of the airborne radar, using the top-tier deep-sea anti-interference model currently available in Great Xia."

Li Zhengyang ended the call. He glanced at his tactical watch. [Account Balance: 3,905,620,000 yuan]

After deducting the one hundred million for the Soaring Dragon Sky-Stepping Footwork, there was still 3.9 billion left. The foundations of the Northern Territory Branch had been wiped out. The surviving brothers were covered in wounds, and their weapons were notched. They needed new ones.

Furthermore, why should the equipment of the Northern Territory be worse than other war zones?

Li Zhengyang opened the high-level mall of the Pojun Division. He went straight to the elixir section.

[Nine-Turn Bone-Regenerating Pill: Can reshape bones and meridians, quickly recover from injuries. Price: 5,000,000/pill]

Assistant Chen Feng's arm was broken, and the condition of the seriously injured brothers was also critical. He clicked on the quantity box. Input: 100. Purchase.

[Deducted 500,000,000 great xia currency]

He continued to browse the weapon section. [Standard thunderstorm warblade: Comes with lightning-attribute armor penetration, the preferred choice for legion combat. Price: 200,000/blade]

There were still hundreds of personnel in the Pojun Division. Input: 500. [Deducted 100,000,000 great xia currency]

Armor section. [A-grade Black Scale Combat Suit: Lightweight, cut-resistant, can withstand attacks from Martial Kings, and comes with a temperature control system. Price: 500,000/set]

Input: 500. [Deducted 250,000,000 great xia currency]

Base facility category. The branch's defensive array was broken. He had to buy a hardcore one.

[Four Symbols Thunder Strike Array (S-grade): Defends against a full-power attack from an early-stage Martial Venerable, comes with lightning counterattack. Price: 1,000,000,000/set]

Purchase. [Deducted 1,000,000,000 great xia currency]

With this array, if someone like Xue You came again, the protective array alone would be enough to peel a layer of skin off him.

The logistics headquarters of the Great Xia Pojun Division. Deacon Chen Changshan, who was in charge of allocation, was holding a cup of wolfberry tea. He glanced at the clock on the wall, preparing to change shifts.

The backend transaction alarm beeped continuously, and a large number of pop-up windows covered half the screen. Chen Changshan put down his tea cup and grabbed the mouse to check.

Northern Territory Branch public account. Bone-Regenerating Pills, one hundred. thunderstorm warblade, five hundred. Black Scale Combat Suits, five hundred. Four Symbols Thunder Strike Array, one set. ... The transaction list was endless.

In just one minute, the settlement amount exceeded one billion. Chen Changshan rubbed his eyes. He opened the transaction details.

It was a genuine record of deduction in great xia currency, full payment in cash, without using military merit points for deduction.

"Did the Northern Territory Branch change its head?" Chen Changshan shouted, "Old Li, come over and verify the order."

Another deacon leaned over, shook his head after seeing the screen clearly.

"Buying so much S-grade and A-grade equipment, has Venerable Lei come out of seclusion? But that's not right, Venerable Lei never buys things like this."

"The payer is shown as the new Minister, Li Zhengyang, Minister Li."

Chen Changshan tapped on the keyboard to check the inventory.

"There are only one thousand S-grade Bone-Regenerating Pills in the total inventory, and he bought one-tenth in one breath. The warblade inventory was wiped out by more than half. Is this person going to stock up or go to war?" Old Li asked curiously.

"This isn't going to war, this is someone who struck it rich and is emptying out our warehouse."

Chen Changshan pressed the approval button. "Quickly contact the air transport brigade, dispatch two heavy transport planes, load them up, and send them to the Northern Territory. They paid in cash, if we delay, they'll be furious."

Inside the cabin. Li Zhengyang closed the mall page. He had spent over a billion, and there was still over two billion left in the account.

The equipment and medicine bought with money could save lives. He never mistreated the people who followed him.

The fighter began to descend. Li Zhengyang stood up and tidied his casual clothes. He turned his head.

Outside the porthole, the outline of the Northern Territory defense line appeared in his field of vision. That hundred-meter-high profound iron barrier lay across the land.

Behind the barrier, the ruined buildings of the Northern Territory Branch of the Pojun Division were still emitting black smoke. Wounded soldiers were waiting for treatment in the open space, and the brothers who had sacrificed themselves were waiting to be buried.

Deep in the Northern Territory, there were still those demons who had escaped. The matter was not over.

Looking at the more than two billion left in his pocket, Li Zhengyang looked outside the cabin: "Brothers of the Pojun Division, it's time to give you some benefits."
