After the Skin Remodeling was completed, it wasn’t just his basic strength that was enhanced; his five senses also saw a massive improvement. Within a two hundred meter radius, he could clearly perceive any slight movement.
Big brother’s strength has grown even more!
Xia Chuan thought that Xia Hong had once again refined his strength, and a look of admiration rose in his eyes. Then, he recalled the previous issue and said solemnly, "Big brother, the Great Xia talks about the Six Ministries, but the Hunting and Pioneer Departments are clearly the most important. The Hunting Department has already been given to Yuwen Dao. We can’t let the Pioneer Department also go to their people; we must keep it in our hands."
The people below have started to vie for power and profit.
This thought flashed through Xia Hong’s mind, and he sighed slightly.
To be fair, the Great Xia currently has less than five thousand people in total, which is actually quite small in scale. The positions of Minister and the Directors of the Six Departments, apart from the title and status, he didn’t give any tangible benefits.
But one can’t help it, that’s just human nature.
"If you all want to compete among yourselves, I won’t manage it. However, there’s one rule that everyone must abide by: do not attack your own people. Whoever dares to break this rule, I will not spare them!"
Xia Hong almost said the last sentence while staring directly into Xia Chuan’s eyes.
"Understood, Big Brother!"
Hearing Xia Hong’s stern tone for the first time, Xia Chuan naturally etched these words firmly into his mind.
"Go notify Yuwen Dao to come to see me; I have something to ask him."
Xia Chuan nodded and immediately retreated to carry out the order.
"Leader, Yuwen Dao requests an audience."
Soon, Yuwen Dao’s voice came from outside the door.
Seeing Yuwen Dao walk into the room, his aura was still somewhat unstable. Remembering that he spent the whole day at the Martial Arts Hall, Xia Hong asked with a smile:
"How’s the Martial Arts Hall?"
From the moment he walked into the room, Yuwen Dao looked at Xia Hong with a gaze full of reverence. Upon hearing the question, he didn’t even think before answering: "A marvelous treasure, no, ’marvelous treasure’ is inadequate to describe it; it should be called a divine object instead!"
Listening to the full-on awe in Yuwen Dao’s tone, Xia Hong smiled slightly.
Yuwen Dao’s reaction was normal. The people of Great Xia, having been with him for a long time, had grown accustomed to the marvels of the System’s structures, so their reactions weren’t as big.
"Did the leader call me about the Hunting Department issue, I..."
"No, no, no, for these matters, just discuss with Xia Chuan. I called you because I have some questions to ask you personally."
Xia Hong interrupted Yuwen Dao, then gestured for him to sit down and asked:
"How much do you know about the Superior Battle Body?"
While fighting the Deceitful Monster at the Mirror Immortal’s camp, Yuwen Dao had mentioned the Superior Battle Body. Xia Hong had heard it then.
Yuwen Dao was taken aback by the question. Seeing Xia Hong’s genuinely inquisitive expression, he realized that Xia Hong truly didn’t know about the Superior Battle Body, and his expression became a bit chaotic.
Unaware of the Superior Battle Body, yet he broke through the Cold Resistance Level?
"Leader, don’t you know you’re a Superior Battle Body? How did you control the amount when using Beast Blood for skin remodeling before?"
Hearing this question, Xia Hong arched an eyebrow and casually said, "I would use it up to my limit, increasing the amount as long as I could endure it."
Yuwen Dao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his expression towards Xia Hong changing instantly.
He also underwent skin remodeling and was well aware of how painful it was to use Beast Blood.
As long as I could endure it, I kept increasing the amount.
He couldn’t even imagine the price paid behind this statement.
"Leader, what’s the maximum amount of Beast Blood you’ve used in a single session? 10 jin, 15 jin, or 20 jin?"
Xia Hong’s expression was odd, and he didn’t answer the question.
Thinking he’d guessed correctly, Yuwen Dao continued to talk.
The Upper, Middle, Lower Three Battle Bodies were the same as what Gao Yu, He Yuanhun, mentioned when he came to Great Xia previously; only, Gao Yu didn’t mention the Superior Battle Body. After Yuwen Dao’s explanation, Xia Hong understood it too.
As the name suggests, the Superior Battle Body is one level higher than Upper. The distinction is that those with this level of Battle Body Talent will have their basic strength soar to a minimum of Three-maned, or three hundred thousand jin, when breaking through the Cold Resistance Level.
"My father once told me that the highest he’s seen is Six-maned Power."
Upon hearing this name, a look of hatred appeared in Yuwen Dao’s eyes, and he nodded.
He Yuanhun possesses more than just Six-maned Power!
Recalling the power He Yuanhun demonstrated after Mirror Immortal’s death, Xia Hong’s brows slightly furrowed.
At that time, He Yuanhun’s sword bore at least the Power of Eight Manes.
Clearly, Yuwen Hu and Yuwen Dao didn’t have a complete understanding of He Yuanhun.
Seeing Xia Hong lower his head in contemplation, Yuwen Dao didn’t interrupt but stood quietly by his side, waiting.
After a long while, Xia Hong finally raised his head and continued asking, "Do you know about the level of cultivation after Cold Resistance Level?"
Yuwen Dao’s expression became a bit solemn, and after a long pause, he finally spoke:
"I only heard He Yuanhun mention it once; it seems to be called the Xianyang Level."
Listening to his unsure tone, Xia Hong also gave up pursuing further questions, realizing that Yuwen Dao was likely only half-informed.
Does it mean to be completely exposed under the sunlight?
Xia Hong furrowed his brows and didn’t continue pondering. Instead, he looked at Yuwen Dao, his face showing a hint of a smile, and asked:
"The last question, what’s the story with Ningzhou Camp?"
Upon hearing the words Ningzhou, Yuwen Dao’s complexion immediately froze, subsequently changing several times before he directly knelt down and said, "Leader, has someone been spreading nonsense? Please inform me, and I will certainly punish this person severely."
This Yuwen Dao is indeed smart.
He hadn’t even said anything yet, merely mentioning Ningzhou Camp, and Yuwen Dao could guess so much.
"Don’t be nervous. I’m not accusing you of anything. I just heard it by coincidence and wanted to ask you about it. You are a smart person, and I trust you, which is why the Hunting Department is entrusted to you. Integrating over three thousand people into Great Xia won’t be easy. During this time, pay more attention and cooperate well with Xia Chuan to expedite the fusion of the two groups. Do you understand?"
Recognizing the weight in Xia Hong’s tone, Yuwen Dao’s expression also gradually turned serious. He knelt low and respectfully replied, "Rest assured, Leader, I understand."
"You can compete for the position of Pioneer Department Director, but don’t make it too ugly. And remember one rule; tell Hong Guang and the others when you return, no one is allowed to attack our own people. This is the bottom line, and whoever dares to break it, I won’t spare them."
"Yes, Leader, I will definitely convey the message!"
"Alright, go on with your work!"
Yuwen Dao respectfully stood up, saluted, and slowly withdrew.
Left alone in the room, Xia Hong took out a white mirror from behind and gazed into it thoughtfully.
