Chapter 218: Return
The battle of the youth group of the world's No. 1 martial arts conference is over.
However, the battle in the senior division began immediately after the end of the youth division.
Compared with the strongest session in the history of the youth group, there are only five martial saints, among which Li Wei and Song Wuya still broke through, and the quality of the adult group is significantly higher.
The ten contestants, without exception, are all martial saints.
And at least they are all second-grade martial saints.
They can basically do it, even if what they do is against their martial will, they can still find excuses for themselves, and it will not affect their strength.
But even so, it is still difficult for these martial saints to compete for the top three.
Because above them, there are several third-rank martial saints, and as many as three extreme martial saints.
The confrontation of these extreme martial saints has vividly interpreted the word human weapon.
If it weren't for the fact that the world's No. 1 Martial Arts Club Martial Arts Platform was made of Zhenyan, which had an excellent effect of absorbing vibrations, the divine power that erupted from their every move would have cracked the floor.
Rock can be cracked with a single move.
The force of the full force of the collision and unloading is enough to cause the ground to collapse, forming a large crater of one meter or even several meters.
It is no exaggeration to say that the blow of a vigorous martial saint is not inferior to the detonation of a grenade.
Broken walls, broken rocks, and destroyed houses.
With a little time, they can even break the load-bearing walls of a tall building and collapse a building alive.
This is the reason why a martial saint can suppress a country with the power of a single person in the era when star refiners have not yet emerged.
Let alone......
The greatest advantage that humans have over animals is the ability to use tools.
When a martial saint with supplies behind him is armed with guns and heavy artillery, and then uses his flexible characteristics to fight guerrilla warfare, it is only a matter of time before he fights a thousand enemies and breaks ten thousand with one.
"Extreme Martial Saint."
Li Yi watched the confrontation between the two figures on the stage.
He knew that even on the road of Martial Saint, he still had a short way to go.
Especially when his spiritual attribute is still only 26, he is still a big step away from the 40 points of the Extreme Martial Saint.
……
Time passes.
The senior category also ushered in the championship.
A forty-two-year-old and thousand-year-old Extreme Martial Saint won the championship.
Wan Lichang was not surnamed Wan, but he was in the top three in the 10th World First Martial Arts Conference, and his amazing talent was quickly favored by the Tianyuan Imperial Family.
The royal family directly married a county lord and gave him ten thousand surnames, focusing on training.
He also did not live up to the high expectations of the royal family, and finally won the senior championship at this world's No. 1 martial arts conference, and won the honorific title - Tianyuan No. 1.
……
The senior group competition is over, and the world's first martial arts conference is really over.
This triennial, three-month-long martial arts event has also come to an end.
During this period, there were not a few forces that wanted to recruit and approach Li Ji.
But they were basically blocked back by Su Vein.
In this process, it inevitably chilled Li Wei's heart, and Su Mai also gave Li Yi a series of promises again.
Not to mention that he planned to go to Dashang to buy a rare star weapon for him, he also gave the Li family a series of canonizations.
Li Yi's deceased father has cultivated a talent like Li Yi because of his conscientious work for countless years, and he was rated as one of the top ten people who moved Taibai.
As for all kinds of monetary and material rewards, there are not a few.
Even the Qin family was stained with a lot of light.
Their company, which is faintly bottlenecked, has also ushered in a new period of development.
But that's not the point, the point is that the Taibai Kingdom gave Li Ji the title of Viscount.
An area of more than 1,000 square kilometers outside Jiangzhou City was directly classified as Li Yi's fiefdom.
The fief contained three townships with a total of 120,000 people.
This is not a position, nor a lease, but a real fiefdom.
All the output of this 1,033 square kilometers of land belonged to Li Wei, and 120,000 people were also under his jurisdiction.
As long as he doesn't commit some inhumane acts here, no one will interfere with even if he enacts his own laws.
This kind of fiefdom of real power, except for the large-scale division of the Taibai Kingdom at the beginning of its establishment, has hardly been seen in the long years that followed.
The last person to be canonized as a Count of Real Power was a star refiner who successfully stepped into the Great Star Refiner realm fourteen years ago.
His fiefdom also did not exceed 10,000 square kilometers.
This kind of treatment of Li Yan......
Many top star refiners don't have it.
……
At this time, on the way back, Su Mai was introducing the situation of his territory to Li Wei.
After the introduction, he also smiled and said: "At present, among the top star refiners who belong to our Taibai nationality, there are only twenty-six nobles who have obtained fiefs, and there are only thirteen high-level star refiners. ”
Li Yi nodded slightly.
In fact, he didn't pay much attention to the so-called fiefdom in his heart.
First, his viscount title is not inherited, in other words, once he encounters an accident and dies, his relatives and descendants do not have the right to inherit.
This is obviously a precautionary shot taken by the royal family in order to prevent him from failing to die when he is extremely sublimated and turned into a cultivator.
If he does fail, these rewards will be taken back.
And if he can succeed in the transfer......
In the future, it is reasonable for at least the achievements of top star refiners to enjoy a fief of more than 1,000 square kilometers.
Another point......
The land and population of this world are not as precious as imagined.
Before the turbulent times, there were 804 countries in the United Nations.
With the end of the turbulent era, the six-pole pattern of the world will be formed, and the human alliance will be established.
The demise and birth of a number of countries over the years has left one hundred and sixty-six countries, large and small, in the current League.
More than 600 countries were annexed, merged, and perished.
Under these circumstances, a large amount of land fell into the hands of fierce beasts and monsters, and humans were forced to shrink their territory drastically.
But those territories still theoretically belong to these countries.
Like the Taibai Kingdom, it obviously has a land area of more than 6 million square kilometers, but most of the population is concentrated in an area of less than 1 million square kilometers.
In addition, among the 166 countries, it can basically be divided into three grades.
The six poles of the world.
Developed country.
and third world countries......
The countries at the top of the third world are better, because of factors such as minerals, economy, population, resources, etc., the six poles of the world will give them some shelter, but those countries at the bottom of the ranking who can't even look down on the six poles of the world are completely living in precariousness.
For example, the 144th King Kong United Nations has a population of 310 million and a land area of more than 10 million square kilometers.
Of course, less than 2 million square kilometers of this 10 million square kilometers of land are actually controlled by them.
If any star refiner is willing to go, he can easily obtain a large number of territories and territories.
If you go to a high-level star refiner......
It is not a problem to directly draw out more than 100,000 square kilometers and a population of several million, and it is not a problem to build a country and claim the throne in it.
Not to mention the top star refiners.
This is the reason why Li said that the territory is not valuable.
Of course, there is still no comparison between the King Kong United Nations and the Taibai Kingdom.
The country's Great Star Refiner has fallen for thirteen years, and no new Great Star Refiner has been born in the past thirteen years.
While this country is threatened by fierce beasts and monsters, the top star refiners inside are also standing on their own hills, and the war is endless.
Obviously, it has tens of millions of square kilometers of territory and 310 million people, but the total GDP of the country is not comparable to that of a Jiangzhou city.
Not to mention the entire Jiangzhou.
It is estimated that a five-element gate is richer than their own province.
War, poverty, disease, and the threat of beasts and monsters pervade the land of this country, so much so that even though a high-level star refiner could be the king and supreme in the past, there was still no star refiner who would stay there for long.
After all, the high-level star refiners themselves can live well in any advanced and prosperous country and enjoy a high status, although they can't rule over more than 100,000 square kilometers of territory and millions of people alone, but ......
At least the safety of life is guaranteed.
Don't worry about waking up and getting involved in the chaos of a war between two top star refiners, or a high-level monster that has already been killed in front of the castle and uses him as a delicious tonic.
In these respects, many star refiners would rather live in a country like Taibai and be a billionaire with assets than go to the King Kong United Nations to rule over a territory of more than 100,000 square kilometers and millions of subjects.
Time passes in communication.
The train stopped in the royal capital for a day, and Li Jian met His Majesty the King of the Taibai Kingdom and carried out the canonization ceremony of the viscount.
However, he did not stay in the royal capital for long.
In just three days, he returned to Jiangzhou with Qin Rouran, Li Yunyao, Lin Xiaolu and others again.
I don't know where the news leaked.
When Li Ye drove out of the train station in a specially made car, there was a sea of cheers on both sides of the train station.
On both sides of the street, tens of thousands of Jiangzhou citizens spontaneously gathered on the side of the road, shouting to their heart's content, welcoming Li Yi's arrival.
At this moment, the entire Jiangzhou was calling his name - Li Ji.
……
"If you are going to run for governor of Jiangzhou this term, there will definitely be no suspense."
In the car, Su Feiyu, who accompanied Li Wei to Jiangzhou, said with a smile.
"Forget it, get into politics...... It's not my strength. ”
Li said.
"Sometimes governing a place is not as difficult as you think, you only need to use people, relying on your wisdom and strength to rule a state, because your existence is the best guarantee for the prosperity and stability of a state."
Su Feiyu smiled slightly: "And...... I believe that one day, you will become a star refiner, fighting at the forefront of fighting fierce beasts and monsters, and inspire everyone in Jiangzhou and Taibai with victories, because you have the imprint of Jiangzhou on your body, and when that day comes, even if you are in Jiangzhou and do not hold any position in Taibai, you will become the uncrowned king of Jiangzhou and become the spiritual symbol of everyone! ”
Li Ji did not answer, but took a car, escorted by the police car in front, to the villa area where he lived.
At this time, the entire villa area is newly decorated, with banners everywhere, balloons and flowers hung.
Countless neighbors who had rarely seen each other walked out of their residences and stood on the side of the road in costume, spontaneously welcoming Li Yan's arrival.
And outside Li Yan's villa......
A series of administrative officials in Jiangzhou, Qin You, Qin Guangming, Li Mu and others, were also waiting at the door.
This moment......
Li Yi really realized what it means to glorify the ancestors and return with honor.
