Chapter 198: The Illusory Cultivation World
After the first match ended, the second match began.
The second match was also between a martial arts family and a foreign team.
However, nothing was interesting about this match due to the disparity in strength between the two.
The martial arts family was the Wu family. Among the 36 martial arts families in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, they were in the top 10.
Martial Grandmasters were participating.
On the other hand, their opponent—Comsanta.
They were at the bottom of the rankings, even worse than Naipna.
Thus, the outcome of this match was already decided.
As expected, the match ended in less than five minutes.
The Grandmaster of the Wu family killed all six members of Comsanta instantly.
After this match, the prestige of the Wu family rose at once.
The martial arts world of Xia Country was also exceptionally happy. They had ruthlessly slapped the faces of those who wanted to challenge the martial artists of Xia Country.
On the other side.
After conversing with Qin Chuan, Lu Dewei returned to the capital.
After many days of waiting, the President finally had some free time.
It was past noon. He arrived at the President’s residence early.
The President was in charge of all affairs in the country and was the highest-ranking leader. Therefore, his residence was naturally heavily guarded.
After a series of strict inspections, Lu Dewei successfully entered the house.
A sergeant walked over from one end of the corridor.
Smiling, he greeted Lu Dewei, “Chief Lu!”
Lu Dewei responded with a smile and asked, “Is the President done with his work?”
The sergeant replied, “The President is having his meal. He has a very important conference later.
“Chief Lu, why don’t you wait in the tea room for a while?”
“Mm! Alright!” Lu Dewei did not question further and went to the tea room.
There were many exquisite tea sets in the tea room.
It was said that this President had excellent tea brewing skills and was even a master.
By the door, there was a shelf filled with magazines and newspapers.
Lu Dewei took a copy of the latest newspaper, went to the sofa, and sat down.
He opened the newspaper, almost all contents were related to the experimental subjects.
Various small countries had fallen to the experimental subjects.
The countries that were strong enough were naturally not afraid of these experimental subjects.
But with the experimental subjects coming over to harass them every other day, it was still quite a headache.
In today’s newspapers, the headlines wrote that the Western powers planned to use nuclear weapons to destroy these experimental subjects.
If it was in the past, all the people around the world would object to that.
But things were different now.
The experimental subjects were too rampant and had taken countless lives.
Now, countries were in ruin. Even the lands they lived in were gone.
There was no point in making nuclear weapons if not to use them now.
The people’s hatred for the experimental subjects was deeply ingrained in their bones.
However, the culprit, Yun Country, jumped out.
Yun Country said that the use of nuclear weapons would trigger mutations in the experimental subjects.
After all, they were the ones who had created the experimental subjects. So making such statements was not being alarmist.
However, their reputation could not get any worse.
It was fine if they didn’t say anything, but once they did, they incited public anger again.
Many people proposed to blow up the Yun Country along with the experimental subjects.
They were the culprit. They were the ones who caused the world to be in this state. They had to be severely punished.
As such, the Yun Country disappeared again, not daring to make an appearance anymore.
After all, they had achieved their goal.
They believed that the Western powers were not fools and would understand.
Lu Dewei read the newspaper and exhaled heavily.
“Only immortal cultivators can change the situation and save the world,” Lu Dewei sighed.
Although he hadn’t cultivated any cultivation techniques in the past few days, after the consecration at the gates and cleansing in the Spirit spring, he could clearly feel that his body had undergone a tremendous change.
He felt that his physical strength alone was no less than that of a first-rate martial artist.
From this, one could see how terrifying the power of cultivators was.
If the President acknowledges the existence of cultivation, then we don’t have to worry about the monster calamity in the future.
Half an hour had passed.
A middle-aged man arrived at the door of the tea room.
The man was wearing a white shirt. He was tall and appeared very lean.
The man had a well-defined square face and a pair of deep eyes under his dark eyebrows as if he could see through people’s hearts.
When Lu Dewei saw this man, he quickly stood up and respectfully greeted, “Sir.”
The President had a slight smile on his face as he said in a clear voice, “Dewei, what’s so urgent that you had to speak to me in person.
“You know how it is. There’s so much going on right now. I’m so busy I barely have time to rest.”
Lu Dewei said seriously, “Of course I know that you are extremely busy. But this matter of mine is very important. It concerns the fate of Xia Country.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the President’s face darkened, and he stared at Lu Dewei.
“Is it related to the monster calamity?” he asked.
“Yes!” Lu Dewei nodded.
“Then sit down and tell me slowly!”
The President then closed the door of the tea room and brought over his set to brew tea.
“Sir, what I’m about to say may seem unreal, but it’s true,” Lu Dewei said seriously.
The President smiled. “There are so many things that go against reality? Don’t be so wishy-washy, just say it!”
Lu Dewei nodded. After pondering for a moment, he said, “Sir, I’ve discovered immortal cultivators.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the President’s body froze. He stared at Lu Dewei in bewilderment.
“Immortal cultivators?”
“That’s right. Real immortal cultivators. Immortal cultivators really exist in this world.” Lu Dewei’s eyes brimmed with excitement.
When the President heard this, the shock on his face disappeared. He put down the teapot in his hand and stood up with his back facing Lu Dewei. He didn’t speak for a long time, as if he was deep in thought.
For a moment, the tea room became exceptionally quiet, so quiet that it was scary.
Lu Dewei’s heart raced, and sweat broke out on his face. He reached into his pocket and gripped the jade talisman tightly.
If the President would not allow the existence of cultivators, he would crush the jade talisman without any hesitation and pretend that nothing had happened.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
Sigh!
The President suddenly sighed.
Lu Dewei was stunned.
The President turned around, took off his glasses, and sat down again.
He resumed his tea-making.
Lu Dewei watched the President’s every movement, not understanding why the official had yet to express his stance.
A few minutes later, the tea was ready.
The President poured a cup and put it in front of Lu Dewei.
“Have a taste!” The President said coolly.
“Sir…” Lu Dewei was full of questions. He didn’t understand what the President was up to.
He knew the President very well. They had been friends for more than ten years.
Although the President gave off an easy-going and amiable look, he was very shrewd. No one could tell what he was thinking.
Moreover, the President seemed to have a mind-reading skill and knew what others were thinking.
That was terrifying.
For this reason, he did not dare to drink this cup of tea.
The President saw that Lu Dewei did not drink but said nothing.
He poured himself a cup of tea and blew on it a few times before savoring it.
“Dewei, do you know what tea this is?” The President suddenly asked.
Lu Dewei shook his head. He didn’t know much about tea, so he naturally wasn’t sure.
That’s not right. The President knows that I don’t know anything about tea. Why would he ask such a pointless question? He definitely has a motive.
Lu Dewei suddenly thought of this and couldn’t help but scrutinize the steaming cup of tea in front of him.
After smelling the hot steam, for some reason, his body felt light, and his brain felt refreshed.
There was indeed something wrong with the tea.
Lu Dewei’s pupils dilated slightly, and the veins on his hand that was holding onto the jade talisman bulged. He could crush it at any moment.
At this moment, the official said, “This tea is called the Enlightenment Tea.”
Enlightenment Tea?
Lu Dewei faltered. It sounded familiar.
“Oh, I remember now.” Something flashed through his mind.
He recalled some infrastructure in the sect.
Among them, there was a structure known as the Enlightenment Platform. Its purpose was to improve the comprehension ability of cultivators.
I was wondering why it was so familiar. They have the same description. Lu Dewei thought to himself.
But why did the President introduce tea to me? I’m not interested in tea. This is too unusual.
Lu Dewei was still wary.
At this moment, the President spoke again, “Do you know where the Enlightenment Tea comes from?”
Lu Dewei shook his head. He didn’t even know what tea it was, so of course, he didn’t know where it came from.
Sir, your question is too meaningless. Lu Dewei thought to himself. Of course, he wouldn’t say it out loud.
The President smiled faintly. “This Enlightenment Tea comes from that illusory cultivation world.”
