Global Martial Arts: Slaughter to Become Emperor

Chapter 296 Encyclopedia - Lu Hao

Chapter 297 Encyclopedia - Lu Hao

Wang Qinghai didn't say much and went down to prepare. Since Lu Hao could afford to exchange for these things...

Based on his understanding of Zhang Tao, Lu Hao would likely put in even more effort.

"You only have a total of 750 billion, and six tons of energy stones are worth about 6 trillion. The rest—" Zhang Tao said with a smile.

"Consider the rest as my donation to the Ministry of Education, and give a larger share to the soldiers fighting on the front lines."

Lu Hao said that if they were to exchange six trillion in resources, it would probably deplete all the reserves of the three ministries and four government offices.

"On behalf of the soldiers fighting on the front lines, I thank you—"

Zhang Tao's smile vanished, and he spoke seriously.

He had originally planned to write a note to Lu Hao or offer something else as payment, but Lu Hao directly stated that it was for the Ministry of Education.

Support for soldiers on the front lines.

He really did judge a gentleman by his own petty standards.

Those are energy stones worth over five trillion. Even the most powerful cultivators combined don't have that much wealth. Lu Hao just gave them away like that. "Forget about the rest. If you really want to thank me, don't hoard these resources. Distribute them to the warriors below as soon as possible. Time waits for no one."

Lu Hao said.

"Alright, the government's war reserves are hard to move, but I will distribute these energy stones to you as quickly as possible to ensure that every soldier fighting in the underground dungeon, the Wu'an Army, has energy stones to use."

Zhang Tao immediately assured him, "I believe Minister Zhang." Lu Hao said.

"Alright, I'll have to thank you for the energy stone. Since you're here, are you familiar with the situation in the Boundary Land?"

Zhang Tao asked while skillfully setting up a mental barrier around him.

Ever since Lu Hao returned last time, he had been speculating about which supreme expert had invested in Lu Hao. After much thought, the most likely candidate was an ancient relic from the Boundary Realm. Although the Boundary Realm was countless years old, those old monsters might not be dead. After all, the supreme expert from the Yang family had died in the Boundary Realm.

The water there is probably quite deep. If we can get information about the Boundary Land from Lu Hao, it will be easier to deal with it later.

Lu Hao had a headache. Sure enough, the aftereffects of his honesty had arrived. Now he had become Zhang Tao's encyclopedia. If he didn't know something, he could ask the encyclopedia, Lu Hao.

"I do know some things, but Minister Zhang, let me tell you, you can't act impulsively," Lu Hao sighed. "It's better to tell Zhang Tao less, otherwise he might cause some big trouble if he goes looking for things without thinking."

"Okay, that's enough for now. We'll have to pay them a visit when we have time later," Zhang Tao said with a smile.

"The Boundary Realm does indeed contain people. The ancient beings inside are likely in a period of revival, but don't think they're without any tricks up their sleeves. If you go in, your life or death is uncertain. Most of the beings sleeping in the Boundary Realm are remnants from the sect era, and some are from even earlier periods. Ancient books record them to varying degrees, such as the Thirty-Three Heavens, the Ten Great Grotto-Heavens, and the Thirty-Six Lesser Grotto-Heavens—"

These are not unfounded rumors, but rather a record passed down from some people from the ancient sectarian era, when human cultivation was divided into two schools: the Southern School cultivated spiritual power, and the Northern School cultivated the physical body.

The specifics are unknown, but it was a major battle between two factions that resulted in many deaths, countless others hiding, and ultimately, a few survivors.

After calming down, they hid in the Boundary Land, and the King's Battleground in the Forbidden Zone of the Underground Cave was the result of this battle. "King's Battleground? Wait, how did the King's Battleground come about?" Zhang Tao interrupted Lu Hao and asked.

He had studied the battlefield of the king for a long time, looking at various materials and records from Zhenxing City.

Even the True Kings of the Underground Caves didn't know the reason for the formation of the Battleground of Kings.

"Pretty much. That battle created a battleground for kings, where all sorts of fallen powerhouses are residing."

That place must pose a considerable threat to you, especially after those old relics have fallen. If you were still alive—"

Lu Hao didn't continue speaking, but instead gave Zhang Tao a look that let him figure it out himself.

"There is indeed danger."

Zhang Tao's eyes flickered as he said that the chaotic origin of the King's Battleground was indeed a significant threat to him.

Lu Hao really knows a lot. Where did that old relic behind him come from? How does he know so much?

Hearing Lu Hao explain so clearly, Zhang Tao became even more interested in the old fogies behind Lu Hao.

What's the situation with the two kings at the Battleground?

Legend has it that this was a forbidden area created when the two kings fought their last battle, leading their powerful warriors in a fierce battle.

"Were the two founders and emperors of the Demon Fate and the Heavenly Plant Royal Court also involved in the North-South War?"

"There is indeed a connection, and a significant one at that. The two kings might be alive, and within the power of the King's War, they could be living a normal life inside."

They are not afraid of those chaotic origin paths, so I don't need to say more about their strength.

"—So, are they lying in wait or healing their wounds?" Zhang Tao asked after a moment of silence.

"They're likely lying in wait. The situation hasn't fully unfolded yet, so all the powerful figures are lying in wait, waiting for the right opportunity. That opportunity will likely be within the next two or three years."

"These old fogies will all be mobilized then, which is why I had you burn resources. They've lived for who knows how many years. Although living a long time doesn't necessarily mean being strong, surviving such a cruel era means their strength is considerable. Don't think you're strong enough to test them," Lu Hao said. After all, Tianzhi and Tianming are two top-tier Saint-level experts. If Zhang Tao were to test them, he would definitely die.

Lu Hao didn't know Zhang Tao's current strength, but he could deduce it from the current state of the human race. At most, Zhang Tao was at the Emperor level, or even lower. Against a Saint, he would be a one-hit wonder.

"Is it really as scary as you make it sound?" Zhang Tao muttered.

After all, Lu Hao spoke with such conviction, as if he would definitely die if he went. Could it really be that much worse?

Zhang Tao had originally planned to test the waters later, since he figured even if he couldn't win, he could always escape.

Now that Lu Hao is speaking so confidently, he's starting to doubt himself.

"Really, Minister Zhang, I'm telling you this because I'm afraid you won't know and might make a wrong decision, not because I want you to go and court disaster."

Lu Hao said that if Zhang Tao really fell because of him, he would truly become a sinner.

Seeing that Zhang Tao still didn't care and was eager to try, Lu Hao regretted telling him all this.

"Minister Zhang, you should know how much vital energy is needed to break through the void in the underground cave, right?" Lu Hao said.

He wanted to subtly make Zhang Tao realize that he wasn't capable enough.
