Huang Ying came over immediately when she learned that Lin Yan and Lan Yue were back.
She was really surprised that the Xingyao Tribe could solve it so quickly. At the beginning, they took strict precautions against Venus and were prepared to endure it for a long time.
Who would have thought that Lin Yan and Lan Yue would be able to capture him easily.
She looked at the two of them and praised with a smile on her face: "You are really powerful. When the news came, everyone was shocked. You have added another city to the alliance without spending a single soldier. You have made outstanding contributions."
"Huang Ying, I can't tell, when did your mouth become so sweet? You don't need money to say good things." Lin Yan interrupted with a smile, "Don't be poor. If you can catch Venus, Lan Yue is enough. I don't care." There was no time to take action.”
Lan Yue doesn't think so: "Just standing there is your credit."
If she hadn't been there, Jin Xing would not have been able to capture him without mercy.
Huang Ying smiled and said: "You are all heroes. We brought Venus back, where are you?"
She heard that he was extraordinary and she wanted to meet him.
Lin Yan said, "Don't be in a hurry to meet. Let's share the information I got from him first."
She thought for a second and said, "Call Shui Sheng too, so I won't have to say it again."
Lan Yue's mobility was amazing. She immediately got up and went out, and came back with Shui Sheng in less than three minutes.
Lin Yan repeated what Jin Xing said.
Shui Sheng and Huang Ying looked solemn. This was the first time they heard detailed news from the west of Tianduan Mountain.
"The situation over there is complicated. What if you notice us?" Huang Ying looked worried. "There is a Venus. Are there others we don't know about?"
Lin Yan: "There should not be a Venusian who acts so openly. The so-called envoys there have contempt for the wasteland and feel that they are superior. If there is, it will not be so quiet."
Shui Sheng: "Being born in the wasteland is the original sin. Those people are too narrow-minded. Once they find out about the alliance, they will definitely plunder, so we must be prepared. When you fight against Venus, how do you judge the strength of the God Envoy?"
The unknown is the scariest thing. Through Venus, you can find out the details of the envoy so that you can deal with it better.
Lan Yue said: "In this fight with Jin Xing, he lost. If he didn't lie that he was a god, then we can use this standard to make a judgment."
Lin Yan: "You'll know after I have a fight with Jin Xing."
Although she and Lan Yue are both A-level mystics, there is a gap in their mental strength and they can make better judgments.
Huang Ying: "It's better to let Shi Zhiye have a fight with Jin Xing, and then select a few talented people from Xuanhui to compare. The more you fight, the better you can figure it out."
"Okay." Lin Yan agreed, "Tomorrow I will go to Xuanhui to find someone. Jinxing happens to be imprisoned in Xuanhui, so it is convenient for us to discuss things."
After the matter was finalized, Shui Sheng turned to him and said, "What do you think of the nine major forces? I'm quite curious about the so-called dynasties and empires. They have a long heritage. Maybe I can broaden my horizons."
Seeing the light in his eyes, Lin Yan felt blessed and said, "You want to go there."
The two looked at each other and saw a similar light in each other's eyes, which was eager to try.
Huang Ying was also moved, but she still had to take reality into account, "Don't even think about it. They are all gone. Who will be left to do the work?"
None of these three people wanted to stay.
Lin Yan and Lan Yue have always been like this, Huang Ying is not surprised at all, but Shui Sheng has always been calm, but he is the first to show it, which is really unexpected.
The three of them all looked at Huang Ying, staring at her with numb scalp, "What are you doing? What I'm telling you is the truth. Don't even think about giving up."
Lin Yan pursed his lips, "Some words are boring to say, so just pretend you don't know."
"Then, you all ran away, leaving me alone to clean up the mess?" Huang Ying is not stupid. These people have learned from past mistakes, so they should always pay attention.
Seeing that they were going on, Shui Sheng changed the subject, "Okay, that's all for the future, let's talk about the present first. There was a letter from Ning Cheng, and a spy from neighboring Fengcheng was arrested. After interrogation, it was found that Fengcheng had the intention to attack Ningcheng. . Fengcheng is a big city, and Ningcheng may not have enough troops. The garrison office will ask for instructions on whether to defend passively or attack proactively, and the Arbitration Court will give instructions."
"Judging from last year's report, the situation in Ningcheng, Yuncheng, Pingcheng, and Ancheng is not ideal. They have large populations but far insufficient food production. The industry and commerce there are even more backward, and the fiscal balance is seriously imbalanced. I think It will take several years to get better. It cannot support a war."
Shui Sheng's attitude is clear, it's better not to fight if you can, I really can't hold on.
In the past few years, the Sun Alliance has invested heavily in the four cities, and the resources have been skewed, but it cannot provide enough food for everyone. If we fight again, it will only make matters worse.
Moreover, all alliance tax revenue cannot be used to improve the four cities. This would be unfair to other cities in the alliance.
There is no reason why all the hard-earned money should be used to help others.
Human nature is selfish. In the final analysis, the people over at Tianduan Mountain are none of their business. Shuisheng has heard the discussions from people in the city more than once.
Huang Ying hesitated for a moment, then said: "People in the city are talking about this, some support it, and some oppose it. I secretly tested it, and there are also different voices among the members. The peace faction has more people. After all, most people don't I understand that people thousands of miles away have nothing to do with me, and it is not cost-effective to go to all the trouble of supporting them."
In recent years, life has become increasingly affluent, and more and more people no longer only care about food and clothing, but have begun to focus on other things.
In Lin Yan's words, people's ideological consciousness has improved. With the popularization of education, people are becoming smarter and know how to pay attention to the general trend of the alliance.
"So, you two don't agree with the fight?" Lin Yan asked directly. She also knew that Tianduan Mountain invested a lot of resources, which caused dissatisfaction among some people.
As Shui Sheng and Huang Ying said, the vast majority of people only see immediate gains and losses and cannot see the long-term future.
Lin Yan could understand this, but she didn't believe that Shui Sheng and Huang Ying were short-sighted.
After being silent for a while, Shui Sheng said: "I understand your intention. In the long run, fighting is necessary. But the actual situation does not allow it. It is not a bad idea to delay the fighting for a few years."
Shui Sheng looks at the financial statistics every year very carefully. He knows the situation of every city in the league very well, and he really can't support it anymore.
At present, the four cities of Nanhai Port City, Wuhe City and Tianduan Mountain have huge investments and low output. It can be said that they rely on the support of other cities in the alliance.
What's more, this year there is another Star City, the infrastructure is extremely poor, and there is another hole to be filled.
In recent years, the pace of expansion has been too fast and the stalls have become too big. It needs to slow down.
Huang Ying muttered: "It's not that we can't fight, it's that the timing is wrong. Wait a few years, take your time, and take your time. If nothing else, if we add another star city, the food output will be difficult to supply, and there will be no spare power to support Tianduan Mountain. We can’t let our own people go hungry to support others.”
Lin Yan remained silent.
Lan Yue: "They are right, the time is not right and we cannot start a war." She understood Lin Yan's dilemma and the purpose of her insistence, but the reality had to be taken into account.
Three to one, Lin Yan understood that it was not impossible if she insisted on going her own way, but she could not do this and let everyone in the alliance bear the consequences of her choice.
The national treasury is tight and the fiscal imbalance is serious. These are major problems that need to be solved at present.
She said: "In this case, we will not fight. But we cannot give up even an inch of the land that belongs to the alliance."
It cannot expand, but it must not lose its existing territory.
The three of them all said yes. How could they give up the territory they had worked so hard to build and spend resources on building and managing to others? Protecting the territorial integrity of the alliance is their bottom line.
The people watching in secret at the Arbitration Court saw that Lin Yan and Lan Yue had not held a meeting to discuss Ningcheng matters for several days after their return, so they started to inquire around.
This is not their style. Both of them are resolute and resolute people. When it comes to war, they will definitely not be able to sit still.
The undercurrent was surging, but Lin Yan didn't seem to notice it at all. He went to Xuanhui every day and competed with Jin Xing.
As expected, Jinxing is her defeat, but he also has redeeming qualities. Close combat is a bit more fun.
The people of Xuanhui practice the unified system and are all groping forward, almost all in the same way.
But Jin Xing is different. His fighting method and source of power are all completely new. Fighting against him is a real fight, and his fighting experience increases steadily.
Lan Yue also rubs her fists together, and spars with Jin Xing from time to time.
Gradually, Xuanhui's character came to light, and Jin Xing was really miserable.
Every day there are people lining up waiting to fight him. If they are weaker than him, he can crush them. If they were equally powerful, they would have to fight with wits and courage. He couldn't make a killing move yet, it could be said that he was exhausted mentally and physically.
The most terrifying thing is that when he meets someone who is stronger than him, he tries his best and gets beaten up and his nose is bruised and his face is swollen. He is miserable.
He has no doubt that he is the most miserable divine envoy. He is a human punching bag and can be punched by anyone.
At this moment, there was a circle of people surrounding the Xuanhui Arena.
Jin Xing looked at the person opposite and wondered whether he was stronger or weaker than herself.
Shi Zhi was also looking at Venus, taking a break from his busy schedule. When he heard about such a person, he reluctantly gave up his favorite research and came here, wanting to have a discussion with the divine envoy in person.
Everyone onlookers were excited. Everyone knew how powerful Shi Zhi was. Since he came back from Tianduan Mountain, his reputation has become even greater.
In the past few years, he fell silent. Appearing again will inevitably become the center of attention.
Lin Yan was also present. When she heard that Shi Zhi was taking action, she couldn't sit still anymore.
To be honest, Jin Xing's strength is pretty good, and if it weren't for his different stance, he would still be a respectable opponent.
There were more and more onlookers, and Jin Xing couldn't figure out his opponent, waiting for Shi Zhi to make the first move.
Shi Zhi also had the same thought, and the two waited for a few minutes, still looking at each other.
The crowd of onlookers couldn't wait any longer, and someone shouted, "Should we fight again? If not, we should have told you earlier. It's a waste of time."
Immediately afterwards, each other's voices continued to sound.
"Shi Zhi, do it quickly and beat him to pieces. See how arrogant he can be."
"Let's do it. Are you comparing whose eyes are bigger? Or whose concentration is better?"
"Fight, hide and tuck in, do it if you have the strength."
…
The two people fighting were in a noisy commotion, but it was not what they saw.
In fact, Shi Zhi had already tried several waves with his mental power, but was blocked back calmly. He continued to increase the intensity of the test, trying to see how the other party could resist.
Venus has played countless games, is experienced, and can handle it calmly. He was also curious about the difference between what a mysterious person calls spiritual power and divine power.
The two of them went back and forth and competed secretly, which lasted for more than ten minutes.
It ended with Jin Xing turning pale and voluntarily admitting defeat.
The onlookers were dumbfounded and unbelievable.
"Is this the end?"
"What the hell, we didn't even do anything, we just stood there staring at each other, who wouldn't do that?"
"I thought it was an earth-shattering fight, but I didn't expect it to be so sloppy and uninteresting. It's a waste of time."
"It shouldn't be like this. I've heard of Shi Zhi's reputation. How can he be so glaring at others?"
No matter how puzzled the onlookers were, the fight that attracted much attention did end without a fight.
Lin Yan didn't expect such a result. She walked to Shi Zhi and couldn't laugh or cry, "Are you here to crush Venus with your mental power?"
"We are discussing." Shi Zhi rolled his eyes at her, "Don't pretend to be stupid. Why don't you understand if others can't?"
"I can tell, you just use your mental power to crush Venus." Lin Yan innocently spread his hands, "What did you find out?"
"The divine power contains spiritual power, otherwise it would be impossible to block the spiritual power." Shi Zhi said with certainty.
The mystics compete with each other and compete with each other in terms of mental power. Whoever has stronger mental power will win. Divine power can resist spiritual power, which shows that it has this attribute.
"I'm curious, what kind of power is divine power?"
Lin Yan was also curious, "According to my research, divine power is the potential of the human body, which is somewhat different from ordinary force. It is more like a combination of physical instinct and mental power, what do you think?"
To put it simply, general force is the power of a person's body. On this basis, divine power stimulates more potential, including the potential mental power of the brain, which is a mixed power. That's why it's so special.
Mystics practice spiritual power to drive and promote the improvement of physical functions. They seem to be different, but in fact they lead to the same goal through different paths. They are all manifestations of the human body's potential.
Shi Zhi also thought the same way, "Have you discovered it a long time ago?"
"It doesn't count. I just saw the confrontation between you and Jin Xing and it suddenly occurred to me."
Lin Yan told the truth. In the previous competition with Venus, no one only competed in mental strength, so everyone ignored this point.
Seeing what Shi Zhi did, she suddenly understood what Shi Zhi wanted to do. Lin Yan could only think of this based on the experience of fighting against Venus.
Shi Zhi nodded, "It's just a subtle difference, but the essence is that we reach the same goal through different paths. A mysterious person can also fight against a divine envoy."
The unknown makes people fearful. The mysterious person knows too little about the divine envoy, and coupled with the deep contempt of the divine envoy, it is inevitable that he will feel timid. This is very detrimental to the mysterious person, as he loses his momentum before he even fights.
But after analysis and understanding, it is different.
Even if the people of the alliance stay in the wasteland, they can't stop people from outside from coming in, and they will encounter them sooner or later.
Lin Yan patted Shi Zhi on the shoulder, "You still think long-term. It's hard for you to concentrate on studying and pay attention to what's going on outside."
Shi Zhi waved her hand, "Don't wear high hats randomly, I can't stand it."
On that day, the battle between Shi Zhi and Jin Xing spread throughout Sun City. For this reason, benevolent people have different opinions, but Shi Zhi ignored it and immersed himself in his experiment again. (End of chapter)
