"For example, assign him to handle several cases that other forces find difficult. The cases should be big, able to demonstrate his strength, and more importantly, demonstrate his stance on the side of the 'company'."
"Or, in certain appropriate circumstances, let him 'just happen' to defeat one or two old-school masters who are quite influential in the martial arts world."
"Afterwards, the company will manipulate public opinion behind the scenes to portray him as a grassroots hero who is not afraid of powerful figures and serves the country and its people."
"In this way, you'll have prestige, capital, and achievements, won't you?"
Zhao Fangxu's breathing became somewhat rapid without him realizing it.
Zhang Yunyuan's words were like a key, instantly unlocking the tightly locked door in his mind.
He had always been thinking about how to get Ru Hu to "accumulate" seniority, but he never thought that seniority could actually be "created".
Yes, isn't history always written by the victors?
Looking at the composed Taoist priest before him, his sense of awe deepened.
This "Master Yun" is not only unfathomably powerful, but his grasp of human nature and the current situation is also chilling.
"A single conversation with the Taoist priest is worth more than ten years of study. Fang Xu, I have learned a great deal."
Zhao Fangxu stood up and solemnly bowed to Zhang Yunyuan.
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
In the years that followed, a legend called "Na Ruhu" began to circulate in the community of extraordinary people in Tianjin and even the entire North China region.
On the northeastern border, a cult supported by foreign forces is causing trouble with cruel methods. Several local minor sects have joined forces to suppress them, but all have suffered heavy losses and are helpless.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Ru Hu rode alone into the cult's lair and, amidst the army, personally killed the cult leader who had cultivated evil external skills and was invulnerable to swords and spears, before escaping unscathed.
When this incident happened, the whole world was shocked.
In the capital, at an internal exchange meeting hosted by a reclusive tycoon, a renowned Bajiquan master with a fiery temper publicly challenged Ruhu due to a disagreement.
That tiger was neither humble nor arrogant, and calmly accepted the challenge.
The two engaged in an earth-shattering duel, which ultimately ended with the tiger-like force withstanding the opponent's unparalleled "Eight Extremes Spear" and the tiger-like force knocking the opponent back three steps with a seemingly ordinary punch.
Although it was a draw, it was clear to anyone with eyes that the winner had already been decided.
That name, Ruhu, became well-known among the older generation of masters.
There are even rumors that during a secret official operation, Naruhu once single-handedly intercepted and killed a Western alien who was attempting to defect with important intelligence, saving the country from a huge loss.
One pile, one piece.
With the company's resources being secretly allocated and public opinion being deliberately shaped, that tiger-like image was gradually elevated to a divine status.
He was no longer just a labor foreman with a small reputation at the Tianjin docks, but had become a rising force that could not be ignored in the entire North China region.
A young hero who came from humble beginnings but was capable of fighting against a grandmaster, had his country in his heart, and acted with integrity and uprightness.
He was like a rising star, shining brightly and injecting unprecedented vitality into the stagnant world of supernatural beings.
This laid the final and most solid foundation for him to later join the ranks of the Ten Elders.
Chapter 137 The Alliance of the World
The night was deep, like thick ink splashed over the capital city.
The chairman's office on the top floor of the Tianxia Group headquarters was still brightly lit.
Feng Zhenghao was lying behind a huge mahogany desk, intently reviewing a document about the group's strategic plan for the next few years.
He rubbed his throbbing temples, picked up the coffee that had long since gone cold from the table, and drank it all in one gulp.
Just then, alarm bells rang in his mind.
An indescribable chill, originating from instinct, rose from his spine without warning and instantly spread throughout his body.
He raised his head suddenly and his pupils contracted suddenly.
Before he knew it, there was another person in his office.
The man stood just three steps away from his desk, watching him quietly, as if he had been standing there for a long time.
Feng Zhenghao was so shocked that the hairs on his body stood on end; he hadn't even noticed!
What made him even more uneasy was that the Qi of Spirit Binding and Commanding that had long been integrated into his body spontaneously began to circulate, forming an invisible protective barrier.
This barrier, strong enough to withstand the full force of an ordinary hero, was like a thin sheet of paper in front of the opponent, not even causing a ripple.
It was as if the other party was not a "being" at all, but a wisp of empty air.
As the leader of the World Alliance and one of the inheritors of the Spirit Binding Technique, Feng Zhenghao's cultivation level is already among the top of the heroes.
Even if they saw Lu Ci from the Lu family, Wang Ai from the Wang family, or Lu Jin from the Lu family, these masters who had been famous for decades would not be able to detect their presence at all.
Could this be a being as terrifying as the Old Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain?!
Feng Zhenghao slowly shifted his gaze over, and he was surprised to find that the person who came was actually a boy who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old. He was wearing a faded gray Taoist robe, with a handsome face and eyes as calm as an ancient well without any ripples.
"I'd like to try out your Eight Extraordinary Skills."
The boy's voice was calm, as if he were talking about something very ordinary.
Feng Zhenghao's heart sank to the bottom.
He suppressed the turmoil in his heart and, without the slightest hesitation, pushed his cultivation to its limit.
Several incredibly condensed Yin spirits emerged from his body, accompanied by shrill screams, and transformed into several black streaks of light, rushing towards the boy from all directions!
However, a strange scene happened.
Those malevolent spirits, powerful enough to tear steel apart, melted and disintegrated silently the moment they approached the boy, like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, turning into the most primitive energy particles and dissipating into the air.
Not even the slightest resistance.
"It seems I was right."
The boy shook his head, a hint of regret in his voice.
"It's a real pity that the Feng family, as the creators of the Spirit Binding and Commanding Technique, could only obtain an incomplete method in the end."
The color drained from Feng Zhenghao's face at a visible speed, turning him deathly pale.
Not only could his attacks be easily neutralized, but his opponent could also see through the foundation of his skills at a glance!
This isn't a friendly exchange; it's a complete rout!
It was like a cat playing with a mouse... a trial!
"President Feng, there's no need to panic."
The young man spoke slowly, "I have come here not as an enemy, but as a friend."
Feng Zhenghao remained calm and composed, squeezing out a few words through gritted teeth.
"Who are you? What brings you here?"
"This humble Taoist is Yunyuanzi."
The boy looked at him, and a hint of worldly wisdom flashed in his calm eyes.
"Perhaps Chairman Feng has heard of another name—Zhang Yunyuan."
These three words struck Feng Zhenghao's heart like a bolt of lightning from the heavens.
He suddenly stood up from his chair, and because of the sudden movement, he knocked over the pen holder next to him, scattering his expensive fountain pen all over the floor without even noticing.
"Longhu Mountain...that legendary...Junior Martial Uncle?!"
Feng Zhenghao's voice was dry and trembling, filled with disbelief and horror.
"You...you disappeared after the Jia Shen Rebellion, I thought..."
According to his intelligence, this junior uncle from Longhu Mountain either had already gone into seclusion, or... had already passed away.
How could a figure who only existed in legends sixty years ago, a contemporary of Zhang Zhiwei and Lu Jin, appear alive and well before me in such a youthful state?!
"Since the Jia Shen Rebellion, I have been cultivating my mind in the mortal world for decades."
"Let alone you, even among the new generation of disciples on Longhu Mountain, few know of my existence."
Zhang Yunyuan waved his hand. "Enough of the small talk. I'm here to ask Chairman Feng a question—what are your thoughts on the Wang family?"
Mentioning the Wang family ignited a raging fire in Feng Zhenghao's eyes, a hatred that almost materialized.
He said through gritted teeth, "To be honest, the Wang family ambushed and killed my grandfather, taking away the complete Spirit Binding and Commanding Manual, and only gave our Feng family a fragment."
"I will avenge this sooner or later!"
Zhang Yunyuan nodded slightly.
"In that case, I can help you out."
"I have two things to discuss with you today."
"First, let's see how skilled you are at controlling spirits and commanding generals."
His gaze was like lightning, as if it could pierce through Feng Zhenghao's eyes and strike straight at his soul.
Feng Zhenghao is considered a pillar of the superhuman world, but under Zhang Yunyuan's gaze, he began to tremble.
"The second thing is to pass on the complete Spirit Control and Command system to you."
As he spoke, he pointed his fingers like a sword and slowly stepped forward.
Feng Zhenghao instinctively tried to back away, but found that his legs felt like they were filled with lead, and he couldn't move them an inch no matter what he did.
He could only watch helplessly as that slender, white finger gently touched his brow.
A powerful and pure torrent of information instantly flooded into his mind.
The information contained all the methods and key points of spirit control from beginner to mastery, as well as the insights and experiences of practitioners throughout history, making it incredibly complete.
Feng Zhenghao only needed a little insight to realize that it was true!
He trembled violently, so excited that he almost couldn't stand up.
The complete version of Spirit Binding and Commanding!
This is a priceless treasure that the Feng family has dreamed of for generations, but has never been able to obtain!
"The Eight Extraordinary Techniques are the most mysterious skills in the world of supernatural beings, and they have never been passed down in secret. How...how do you have the complete version?"
