Chapter 647 Seven sects
Chapter 647 Seven sects
"No rush, let's start with the two companies you've been in contact with."
First is the Xingyiquan school, which now has Song Zhiyuan as its martial arts master and Ye Dingjiang as its literary master.
Next is the Overlord Spear faction, currently led by Yang Feng's grandfather, Yang Tianhuang, as the martial arts master, and Yang Tianyu, the Minister of the Military Department, as the civil arts master.
Then there's the Bajiquan school, now led by Li Hongxu as the martial arts master and Xiao Jingming, the Minister of Finance, as the literary master.
Finally, there is the Shaolin Kung Fu school, now led by Abbot Kongheng as its martial arts master and Liu Shaoxun, the Minister of Propaganda, as its literary master.
Besides, the Kong family of Luzhou, whose leader is Kong Xuanzhe, and the one who uses supernatural abilities to deduce things is named Kong Xuanling.
This is roughly the current situation in the capital; none of the five forces actually belong to any one family.
Evolution is a relatively fair process; it doesn't concentrate power on whoever has the most power.
For example, in the Ye family, only the chief's grandson, Ye Bufan, is an evolved being, and his superpowers are more supportive, so he can only do odd jobs at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
The Yang family is quite lucky, having produced three evolved individuals: Yang Feng, Yang Tianhuang, the Overlord Spear of this generation, and Yang Tianhong, who is standing next to me.
The Kong family has many branches and leaves, but there are only five evolved beings, of whom only Kong Xuanling and Kong Xuanzhe are considered to be of high rank.
Ultimately, what forms these forces is not blood ties, but shared interests.
The shared ancient martial arts lineage was merely the bond that brought them together.
Professor Shen picked up a palm-leaf fan and gently fanned himself as he began his narration.
"I see……"
After listening, Cangnian suddenly understood.
He had been wondering why the forces in the capital were all, on the surface, former high-ranking officials from the Dragon Kingdom.
Moreover, these are all in charge of ordinary people who haven't evolved.
Wouldn't an evolved being with immense power seize power?
Would they willingly become bodyguards for those who were originally in high positions of power?
It now appears that this cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship between powerful figures from various sects and those in positions of authority has been going on for decades.
The high-ranking officials of the Dragon Kingdom need strong individuals to protect them closely to prevent them from being assassinated.
Even without the revival of spiritual energy, these ancient martial arts masters who have passed down truly deadly martial arts techniques possess overwhelming strength among ordinary people.
These powerful figures from various sects desire their lineage to be renowned throughout the world.
What could be more effective than collaborating with the government to allow one's family traditions to take root and flourish within the military?
In addition, as Professor Shen said, each of these four ancient martial arts schools has martial arts instructors who taught in the Chinese army in each generation, so their students and old friends are spread all over the world, and their disciples are all over the world.
The implicit power that arises from this process is unimaginable.
Therefore, even after the spiritual energy revived and those ancient martial arts masters gained absolute power, they still maintained this symbiotic relationship with the high-ranking officials of the Dragon Kingdom.
They only know how to kill, not how to manage the vast survivor base in the capital. It would be better to let the original high-ranking officials of the Dragon Kingdom handle these complicated matters.
These powerful individuals only need to cultivate and continue to grow stronger to maintain their leading position in the early stages of the spiritual energy revival.
It saves you the trouble and effort.
Thinking about it this way, Cang Nian felt that his relationship with the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom was similar to that of the forces in the capital.
My family has top-tier combat power and can protect the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom.
Qin Changyi, Liao Yongchun, and others had management skills and were put in charge of those trivial matters.
However, it appears that the original high-ranking officials of the Dragon Kingdom are still in power in the capital, and the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom is essentially a one-man show.
"So what are the general effects of their superpowers?"
After some thought, Cangnian asked the question he was most curious about.
However, Professor Shen simply smiled without saying a word and shook his head.
"Okay, I understand, this can't be said."
Seeing this, Cang Nian looked back and forth between Professor Shen and the five bodyguards, and then chuckled.
It seems that in the capital, unlike in the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom, the superpowers of all evolved individuals are not fully disclosed internally.
Moreover, all of them were entered into Noah's server, and then Noah calculated and matched them according to their evolution level, ability type, and strengths and weaknesses to create excellent teams.
Through long-term collaboration and refinement, a well-matched and effective combination can more easily unleash greater combat power.
But in the capital city, it might be more difficult to do that.
Perhaps the five major powers will share resources to some extent, but they will still be wary of each other.
"Let's not talk about that. Professor Shen, how have your conversations with Noah been these past few days?"
After thinking it through, Cangnian skipped the topic and chatted casually.
That would be absolutely fantastic!
The art of formations is a completely new field for me!
However, many of these rules also conform to the logic of the original scientific and technological theoretical system.
Therefore, it is not difficult to learn. With my ability to access supercomputing power, I will be able to master the most basic parts in a while!
When Noah and I join forces, we will be able to put the formation into practical application on a large scale!
In addition, I now have some ideas regarding low-latency remote control technology for pure array formations.
Once we've learned the basics of formation techniques, we can start working on putting them into practice!
"Then, we'll use array formations to create robots, powered by spiritual energy and controlled by the arrays. Without a single electronic component, they'll be able to withstand the high-intensity battles between high-level experts!"
Upon hearing Cang Nian mention the topic he was most interested in, Professor Shen's eyes lit up, and he spoke with fervor.
Seeing that Professor Shen was still going on and on, Cang Nian could only laugh it off and leave the research room.
"I should have known better than to bring this up..."
Leaving the research lab, Cangnian muttered to himself.
"The Strike skill chain has already evolved to the seventh tier, so there's no need to reinvent the wheel anymore."
Why not go to the New Territories surrounding the capital and see if we can find any Tier 5 savage beasts?
Even if things don't go well, leaving the capital will allow me to hone my skills to the fullest, like adding wings to a tiger...
Having satisfied his curiosity somewhat with Professor Shen, Cang Nian recalled what the fifth-tier expert from the capital had said earlier.
Survivor groups from several large states surrounding the capital either came to the capital on their own or were located and relocated to the capital by the capital's army.
All of this was accomplished before the second spiritual energy revival tide.
Therefore, the vast lands surrounding the capital, spanning several large states, as well as the newly added New Territories, remain undeveloped.
In that case, these regions, having lost humanity as a major competitor early on, might very well give rise to a number of fifth-order evolved creatures.
Moreover, in the vast new realm, those fifth-tier savage beasts are much less dangerous, and may still exist to this day.
These are all good food sources!
