... The charged power of the Way of the Jinche was certainly strong enough and could be unleashed instantly, but this was meant to be kept as a trump card against Heavenly Perception cultivators. Neither option was perfect. But the heavens favored Lu Ding. A compromise came in the form of the [Tiger Qi Death Beam Cannon] - powerful, instantaneous, and requiring no gradual buildup. Just aim and fire. Absolutely perfect. People only study military tactics and strategies when they lack sufficient strength. When you're powerful enough, why not just blast through everything? Ancient sages had proposed similar ideas: ["The skilled warrior's victories bring no fame of brilliant success. The expert strategist's plans contain no strokes of genius. The master physician's treatments leave no trace of heroic remedy..."] Overwhelm all techniques with sheer force! Who cares about trivialities! Thought must lead to action. One must learn to adapt with the times and adjust according to circumstances. Now, Lu Ding decided to make such an adjustment. Best case scenario - Tanaka Hirota gets obliterated by the blast. If not... well, Lu Ding could always hunt him down after leveling up. Did this bastard really think he could escape mid-battle? As these thoughts crossed his mind, an eerie smile crept onto Lu Ding's face. The kneeling Qi Refiner from Hetu Country mistook this for improved mood and hurriedly declared: "Grand Guardian Lu!! Your Excellency!! I wish to join Great Han's nationality and become a Qi Refiner of Great Han! I also—" Lu Ding didn't need to hear more. Just the phrase "become a Qi Refiner of Great Han" already made him physically nauseous. This motherfucker actually dared to dream? If you don't have a mirror, at least check your piss! Why not take a leak and see what you're worth? Waving his hand dismissively: "Disgusting to even hear. Drag him away for disassembly." "Right away!!" The waiting unorthodox Qi Refiners immediately moved in. One wielded a skeletal claw weapon that pierced straight through the man's collarbone, dragging him out upside down. His companions swarmed in with various bizarre artifacts and pills, stabbing and force-feeding the prisoner. Instantly, this powerful cultivator from Hetu Country lost most resistance—not that he dared fight back, which would only hasten death. Only his mouth remained functional. "Grand Guardian Lu!! Grand Guardian Lu!!! I'm at the Earth Observation realm! When Heavenly Perception cultivators can't intervene in lower battlefields, every Earth Observation cultivator is invaluable combat strength!!" "You need me!!! YOU NEED ME!!!" Fearing Lu Ding might be swayed, the unorthodox cultivators accelerated their work, even shoving medicine bottles into his mouth: "Shut the hell up, chatterbox!" After the man was hauled away, the command center finally quieted down. Just as Lu Ding was about to take out his phone and remove his bodycam to record a video, he saw a message from Qiu Fu on his screen: [Lu Ding don't act rashly. Night raids and surprise attacks work once but not twice. Moreover, Tai Island is a high-level nation now preparing countermeasures specifically for you.] [Your battlefield dominance is too overwhelming.] [Let's rest, even if just for tonight. We'll discuss tactics and plan our next moves...] [I've already dispatched personnel. Hand over command when they arrive and return for face-to-face discussions. The area isn't safe now...] Blah blah blah. After reading, Lu Ding contemplated briefly... then exited the chat interface, leaving it on read again. This time, he'd have to beg forgiveness for his rudeness. He could explain his motivations and plans, but that would be troublesome and time-consuming. Better to act first and explain later—speed is essential in warfare. Turning on video recording and activating his bodycam, Lu Ding addressed the lens: "My name is Lu Ding, currently at the Si Ming realm. I will single-handedly bomb East Kang Island without relying on anyone else." "This is the technique I'll be using." As he spoke, Lu Ding raised his hand and clenched his fist. Mysterious runes coiled around his arm like living creatures, emitting distorting energy waves. A tiger's roar exploded forth as the warped space revealed glimpses of murderous aura, bulging as if something struggled to break through. With a tearing sound, a blood-red furred claw emerged and grasped Lu Ding's hand. He yanked hard— A ferocious spectral tiger burst from the distorted space, bringing terrifying visions: The beast straddled the boundary between realms, exhaling deadly miasma where tormented spirits wailed amidst desolation. Its roar shook mountains and blotted out stars. The scene froze at this moment—the snarling tiger coiled around Lu Ding's entire arm, its gaping maw leaking crimson light as drops of lethal aura sizzled against the ground. Lu Ding displayed his [Tiger Qi Death Beam Cannon] for the camera: "This is it. I'll record the entire operation to prove I acted alone." The 749 Bureau certainly had the capability to clean up after him. But there was no need to rely on them every time. For matters he could handle himself—like making a simple recording—he'd take responsibility. Lu Ding had already considered: Tonight he intended to expend all his spiritual energy. Given this technique's massive destructive power, Tai Island would inevitably protest—"You must have deployed Heavenly Perception cultivators against lower battlefields! No Earth Observation cultivator could possess such power!" "If you've broken the rules, so will we!!" Great Han wasn't afraid of Heavenly Perception confrontations, but such battles would inevitably affect lower-level Qi Refiners on their side, causing unnecessary casualties. Lu Ding's approach eliminated any excuses for enemy escalation. If they complained? Well, they could always send their own equivalent powerhouse to retaliate. After all, Great Han wasn't using Heavenly Perception cultivators. International legitimacy mattered—many nations maintained friendly relations beyond just hostile ones. After preparations, Lu Ding reattached his bodycam and called out: "Feifan." Yan Feifan rushed in immediately, phasing through walls in his haste. "Brother Lu, you called?" His eyes remained glued to the [Tiger Qi Death Beam Cannon] in Lu Ding's grasp. So damn cool!! The vivid crimson spectral tiger coiling around it looked exactly like some biotech weapon from movies, yet the glowing talismans and swirling spiritual energy confirmed its mystical nature. Sometimes gazes convey more than words. Like driving a supercar that draws everyone's attention—you might pretend not to care, but that admiration feels incredible. Right now, Lu Ding basked in similar satisfaction. Without uttering another word, their exchanged look filled him with the pride of the legendary warrior Lü Bu.
