Chapter 247 - - 245 Those who understand the times are outstanding_1

No grudge or enmity?

The director looked at the composed Duge across from him and almost burst out laughing in anger.

Digging out my subordinates, setting traps outside my door, severing my limbs, shaving off my hair, draining the spiritual power I painstakingly accumulated…

And you call this no grudge or enmity?

Go to hell with your ’no grudge or enmity'.

The director roared, “Wang Chong, I swear we can’t coexist under the same sky, today it’s either you or me…”

“…” Duge was momentarily stunned, shook his head, and said, “You or me, it seems the director has already made preparations to Sacrifice Oneself for Justice? Don’t you really want to see the Supervisory Academy grow and truly supervise the world?”

“…” The director.

“The director doesn’t seem to be the type to be stubbornly ignorant!” Duge’s brows furrowed slightly, “How come the director can’t understand something that all the supervisory envoys could see so clearly?”

“…” The director.

“Elder Zheng, how old is the director?” Duge turned to ask.

“According to Supervisory Academy’s records, the director has lived for twelve hundred years,” Zheng Tingwen answered respectfully.

“How long can someone in the Body Integration Realm live?” Duge continued to inquire.

“At least four thousand years,” Zheng Tingwen looked at the director and replied.

“To forsake over two thousand years of life for the convictions in one’s heart, I admire Director Wang.” Duge turned around and solemnly bowed to the director.

“…” The director’s eye twitched, and he suddenly froze.

“Elder Zheng, find a scribe, record the director’s brave and unwavering act in the history books of the supervisory envoys, clearly state why he died, what caused his death, and the process of his death,” Duge turned back and instructed Zheng Tingwen.

“…” Zheng Tingwen’s brow twitched, and glancing at the naked, mutilated director, he awkwardly responded, “Yes, Alliance Hierarch.”

“Zheng Tingwen, if you fucking go, I’ll kill you,” the director lost it, frantically struggling against the sealing enchantment and roared, “Even if I become a ghost, I won’t let you off…”

He was really going insane.

To die in such a manner, not only was his death disgraceful, but others at the Supervisory Academy might view his life as a joke in the future!

Being detested for eternity was far better than being a laughingstock!

Cruel!

Such ruthlessness from Wang Chong.

The director glared at Wang Chong with eyes that wished to devour his flesh and sleep on his skin.

…

Watching the hesitating Zheng Tingwen, Duge said, “Elder Zheng, find a scribe and summon all the cultivators of the Supervisory Academy, let us send off Dean Liu Xuanmin… Write on the gravestone of Dean Liu, ‘The last conservative, a stumbling block on the rise of Supervisory Academy’…”

Zheng Tingwen nodded, his gaze full of sympathy for the director, and he took a step forward once more.

The rest of the supervisory envoys all fell silent.

At this moment.

They suddenly felt that the way Wang Chong had subdued them was indeed merciful.

Watching Zheng Tingwen walking away, the director couldn’t keep his composure any longer and roared desperately, “Zheng Tingwen, stop, stay right there for me.” As he saw Zheng Tingwen not stopping, the director turned to Duge in a panic, “Wang Chong, I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender…”

“Old Zheng, come back!” Duge looked at the broken director, smiled and said, “He who understands the times is a wise man. The director is indeed a hero of this era.”

Fuck me!

Just a moment ago, you were calling me the last conservative!

The director’s face turned as black as ink, and he remained silent.

Duge shook his head and continued, “If the Director still won’t step down, I was even planning to invite the citizens of the capital to see you off on your journey!”

“You…” The Director glared at Duge furiously, took a deep breath, and said disdainfully, “If I say I’ll step down, I’ll step down; there’s no need to play these little schemes anymore.”

“In this world, what conspiracies are there? There’s nothing more than the suppression by strength, and cherishing talent,” said Duge, looking at the Director. He bowed again, paying his respects, “Director Liu, Mr. Wang truly can’t bear to see the Director’s towering cultivation go to waste, as light as a feather. This was the last resort, please forgive me.”

“…” The Director was stunned.

“Elder Zheng was just following orders; don’t blame him,” Duge stood up straight and said righteously, “If there’s any resentment in your heart, just remember it’s on Mr. Wang. Today, it was Wang Chong who offended the Director first. If one day, Mr. Wang dies at the hands of the Director, there will be no hard feelings.”

Nobility must be displayed when necessary.

Duge deeply understood that a true villain could not make it to the end; he always believed that only sincerity could exchange for sincerity.

“What do you want from me?” the Director asked.

“To borrow the Director’s spiritual power for Mr. Wang’s growth,” Duge looked at him and said, “Today I borrow ten percent; in the future, I shall return a hundred percent.”

As he spoke,

he reached his hand into the forbidden range again, touching the Director’s shoulder, and began to devour the Director’s spiritual power voraciously.

The Director’s body jerked violently, this time he did not resist, even dispersing the arm he had conjured from spiritual power.

Seeing the Director not resisting, Duge turned back and called to the many elders of the Supervisory Academy, “Who has an extra garment, drape one over the Director to prevent, in a moment, my hands from hurting the Director…”

First reaching out, then offering clothes, the Director was shaken again and suddenly came to an enlightenment. If he resisted now, perhaps Wang Chong really would make a deadly move!

He never believed in himself from start to finish!

It was Zheng Tingwen, who had just offended the Director, who took off his own coat, walked over, and personally draped it over the Director’s shoulders.

However, he did not leave but stood by and started explaining the matters of the Spirit Power Mutual Aid Alliance to the Director.

Only then did the Director understand why so many supervisory envoys, despite being tormented by Wang Chong, were still willing to stand by his side, and why Duge said that borrowing his spiritual power would be returned tenfold.

So the root of the matter was here…

However,

is he now at the Body Integration Realm?

To replenish his spiritual power, wouldn’t he need to find cultivators of an even higher realm, and cultivators of a higher realm?

He turned his head sharply, suddenly looking at Duge, “Wang Chong, are you really planning to go against the distinguished sects of the Heaven’s Path Institute?”

“What else? How can they be brought into the regulatory system without defeating them? Mr. Wang has always been a man of his word…” Duge smiled and said, “Director, don’t you want to see the day when the Supervisory Academy supervises all cultivators in the world? Don’t you want to witness those grand cultivators of the distinguished sects falling to the same fate as the Director? It’s quite exhilarating to share the joy with everyone!”

“Of course, I want to see it.” The Director’s old face darkened as he sighed and shook his head, “But Wang Chong, do you realize how profound the heritage of those distinguished sects is?”

“Director, Mr. Wang hails from Seven Star Gate, and two months ago, Seven Star Gate had only three people, three Qi Refinement Realm novices,” Duge spoke of his background with pride. “But now, Mr. Wang is about to possess the cultivation of the Body Integration Realm, with thirty at the Void Refinement Realm, over a hundred at the Divinity Transformation Realm, and countless at the Nascent Soul and Golden Core. Do you think I have the ability to lead the Supervisory Academy to glory…”

“Wang Chong, you’re talking about the force of the Supervisory Academy, right!” As he felt his spiritual power rapidly deplete, the Director’s face grew more bitter, “Even I, as the Director, do not dare to oppose them. With your unstable foundation, rising from Qi Refinement to Body Integration in two months, how can you dare to draw your sword against them?”

“To dare to draw a weapon against the Supervisory Academy is to dare to do the same against them,” Duge said confidently, smiling. “To me, there is no difference between the two. It only varies in how long it takes and how much effort it costs.”

As he spoke,

with the continuous influx of spiritual power, Duge’s Nascent Soul began to grow, gradually integrating with his body, and he felt his divine soul was likewise strengthening. He subconsciously opened his personal panel.

And sure enough,

the number for spiritual power, which was initially a little over six thousand, was like pressing a fast-forward button, continuously changing, six thousand five, six thousand six, six thousand seven…

When his Nascent Soul and body finally merged completely, the spiritual power number settled at twelve thousand.

That was probably the method of refining the divine soul that Nan Youlong had mentioned! No wonder he didn’t suggest taking over high-level cultivators at the start – these beings with several thousand to tens of thousands in spiritual power, even if they lacked the ability to see through divine souls, possessing them would indeed be tantamount to seeking death…
