Chapter 55: q[ranobes-net]i master

Su Menqi followed Long Tao into the nearby room. After they were alone, Long Tao closed the doors and asked Su Menqi to have a seat." Tell me the general situation of the squad.". Su Menqi told Long Tao about the details of the working of the squads in the military. Then she stated upon the situation of the Blackbuck squad." This squad is currently ranked the lowest among the squad rankings in the north-eastern military zone. The main reason, behind is the people in here. The core members of the squad are all outcast of great families. Their families have pressured the military to continuously give us meagre jobs and hence, our rankings never rise above the level. Also, since we don't have backing, the sergeant behaves rudely to us and oppress us every time they get the chance. Also, we get multiple shit jobs to do every time, not allowing us to increase our strength, hence the scenario." Just as she was reciting the condition, there was an announcement outside, stating that the sergeant has come to visit the group. This was one of the lead oppressors of the black-buck squad. His name was Lin Zhao. Long Tao looked at Su Menqi and ordered the members to not let them disturb the conversation. Su Menqi was shocked. Long Tao wanted to make the sergeant wait until they finish the conversation. Whatever may be the reason, he was still a superior. This was insulting him directly on face. Long Tao looked at her and said" Did I ask you to stop?". Su Menqi continued with the description.

Lin Zhao was waiting for Su Menqi to appear before him, when suddenly one of the members of the Black-buck squad appeared and reported that the sergeant is to wait till the conversation of the Squad leader and the new vice-leader ends. This blew Lin Zhao's mind. She dared to insult him and make him wait for her. This was slap on his face. He directly slapped the members away, and barged into the discussion room. Breaking apart the door, he saw Long Tao sitting, while Su Menqi described something to him. Long Tao looked at him and then turning around shouted for the servant to come "How did he enter?". The servant, injured due to he earlier attack described the actions of the sergeant. Lin Zhao was ignored the whole time. This fanned the flames of anger in him. He looked towards Su Menqi" How dare you defy a superior of yours. If you don't provide me with an explanation today, I will level up this building of yours." Su Menqi had a difficult expression her face and was about to say something when Long Tao interrupted." Did he attack you?". The servant nervously nodded. Long Tao turned to Lin Zhao then and walked towards him. "Who gave you the permission to interrupt the conversation>" Lin Zhao was about to spout something angrily when his face was slapped so hard, that he flew away, breaking the wall, and fell outside of the building. Lin Zhao was shocked by the attack. His jaw was dislocated and his teeth were gone. Blood was flowing from his mouth. Long Tao appeared before him. "I will ask again. Who gave you the permission of interrupting my discussion with the squad leader."? Lin Zhao was unable to speak due to the injury. Long Tao kicked him in the stomach, which made Lin Zhao spew even more blood and then kicked him in the head. Lin Zhao's body flew away again. This time his face was totally messed up. What he couldn't comprehend until now was, how could a vice-leader do something like this. Never had he expected that a Qi child realm expert would be powerful enough to crush a mid-level Qi master like him. Long Tao picked him up by the hair and then pulled him towards the military hall. The on-lookers were shocked by the scene. Soon they recognized the figure of Lin Zhao and identified Long Tao as the new Vice-leader of the black-buck squad. This scene surprised and shocked them How could this situation be possible. The receptionist was also

The news of the incident caused huge uproar in the whole military. Bu8t soon enough another piece of news circulated. Many group were delivered with heads, shaved of human body to their doorsteps, with what looked like a note attached. It is to be noted that the leaders of the groups instantly closed up after reading the notes. Looking closely these were heads of the members of Black-buck squad. But no ne could understand who had did that, and why deliver it to the groups rather than the squad itself. "This Long Tao is just too much. How dare he insult us." This was one of the sergeants who also oppressed upon the black-buck squad. The reason black-buck squad was targeted so much was because of the wing-commander who was above them. The wing-commander had taken a liking to Su Menqi and because she didn't respond to his advances, he decided to force her this way. But Su Menqi was a stubborn lady and did not give up because of this. Various Lieutenants and sergeants often harassed the members of the black-buck squad. The current discussion was held between the various lieutenants to plan the action ahead. But none of them even tried to support the idea of directly attacking and oppression in public. Because a message had arrived to their doorstep this evening. Not just one, but each of their dwelling were delivered to by a head, which belonged to the spy they had stationed in the Black-buck squad. This just exemplified how ruthless Long Tao was. Also, he had the power to be arrogant. All of them had seen the status of Lin Zhao after Long Tao did a work on him. The doctor reported of uncertainty when asked about whether or not Lin Zhao could heal up. "We should keep our tabs to ourselves. Lin Zhao is the younger brother of the Wing-commander. Naturally when he returns, the wing-commander will take care of it himself. We will accompany him to crush that Long Tao. Also these heads belong to people who we don't know, Am I clear?". The meeting was adjourned.

In another space, two old men were having tea together." Are you one of the backers of Long Tao?" One of them asked." OH, brother Long is just a fellow cultivator who cultivate in the same path that I do. Hence it is natural to have some familiarity with each other." The other old man laughed" That brat is quite daring to directly challenge the authority of my son. ". The other old man was the vice-commander who invited and deputed Long Tao himself. It was his idea to station Long Tao in the black-buck squad. "I just hope you won't interfere, otherwise you know the consequences." He said with a casual tone. The face of the man smiling changed to seriousness." So, you do support him. I will not interfere, but I hope you won't. That brat is going to have short day in this world.". The man laughed and said "we will see about that.".Long Tao returned back to the dwelling and sealed the entrance of the black-buck squad. "You people are going to start cultivation and each one of you should have raised by two levels when I come out of seclusion. The consequence of not fulfilling the criteria is death. As per the resources, the treasury is filled up with the treasure I seized. Fasten your cultivation. I don't care if you don't rest these days. 2 levels or death remember." He looked at Su Menqi "The same goes for you. 2 levels." Each member was handed a set of resources that was enough for them to train in. "After I come out, the black-buck squad is going to go on a long set of mission. I have already picked up the aim this time. The brief will be given after I end my training and break-through the Qi master realm. My aim is to push my squad to the top of the food chain. Also, I will not be in these pitiful regions forever. By the time I leave, all of you should have broken through QI general. I will give my full support. Train like you stake your life on it. Your hell had just begun. Are we clear?" Each member was shocked and sweating. Raising two levels was no joke and the time period was indefinite. It means that they have to break-through ASAP, otherwise they die. "Do you feel miserable. This is what happens when you are weak. Your life is in the hands of someone who is stronger than you. IF you want to be free of the shackles, be stronger than you are." Long Tao retired.

Back in the training room, Long Tao started the process of Liquification. The max. Qi absorption was reached. Now was the time to liquify the Qi. The process, started and after a long time, and spending a lot of efforts, finally drops of Qi began to originate and started forming a liquid body in Long Tao's. The one which Liquified the fastest was the normal QI. Then came the Crimson World elemental Qi and after that came the Hell-Heaven Q mixture. Long Tao saw three sets of bodies of Qi Sea. One was ethereal and bright in colour. The other was a mixture of colour and rainbowed in appearance. The last one was mixture of Maron-gold colour. These signified the three Qi groups Long Tao practiced. Soon enough Long Tao's body was shining brightly as he began the circulation of the three Qi liquids. The body began to change as the rotations continued. It flowed throughout the body, into the meridians and acupoints and dantian area. Long Tao continued the cycles as more and more Qi was absorbed from the surroundings. Finally, Long Tao's body shook as a burst of energy got radiated from his body. He opened his eyes, which were having a special glow at the moment. "So, this is Qi master realm." Finally, the break-through was complete.
