Chapter 129: Direction of New Skills
“Without a doubt, cultivating Spirit Consciousness stage talents is our top priority!”
Finally, Marshal Iron Blood tapped the table.
“We must approach this with a dual strategy. On one hand, we will increase recruitment efforts. Any Spirit Consciousness stage talent who joins the military will start as a Lieutenant. For those at the eighth and ninth levels of Spirit Law, they will start as Second Lieutenants.”
“On the other hand, we will focus on those soldiers who have a chance to break through to Spirit Consciousness stage within a year and provide them with intensive training.”
“According to the data and what Yi Chen mentioned in passing, to break through from the pinnacle of Spirit Release at the ninth level to the first level of Spirit Consciousness stage, one needs to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth to a certain extent.”
“So, we must also assign some Spirit Consciousness stage talents to summarize the laws of heaven and earth. When they breakthrough, they must teach by example.”
The two Eight-Star Generals and twelve Seven-Star Generals nodded wryly.
This meant that the available Spirit Consciousness stage talents would be further reduced.
However, they could not argue against it.
It was for the sake of developing more Spirit Consciousness stage practitioners.
Seeing that no one opposed, Marshal Iron Blood continued, “We must balance the top fierce beast army and the Large Battleships. Right now, there is a serious shortage of Spirit Consciousness stage talents, making it difficult to put together a substantial plan.”
“In this regard, we will wait for the analysts and think tank to devise a relevant plan based on the training speed of Spirit Consciousness stage practitioners and the recruitment rate before we study and discuss it further.”
“For now, we can have a portion of the think tank work on plans for building and training the top fierce beast army and for training in operating the Large Battleships, and we should prepare for the relevant personnel and equipment dispatch.”
Everyone nodded again. From the standpoint of the entire human military, there were no disagreements on these major directions.
The real contention lay in how to allocate the Spirit Consciousness stage talents and who would command the top fierce beast army and hold the command authority.
The two Eight-Star Generals and twelve Seven-Star Generals represented the fourteen major military districts of humanity.
They had to consider the interests of the entire human military while also fighting for the maximum benefit for their respective districts.
Of course, the cohesion among the Senior Military Officials was much stronger than at any other time.
The struggle for interests was not intense.
To ensure the pace of development, these debatable details could be compromised to reach a consensus.
The root of the issue was that Yi Chen’s new skills provided the military with opportunities for leaps in progress.
The military’s strength surging was the most important benefit for all military districts.
Only in this way could the cake continue to grow, allowing all military districts to gain more benefits.
Because of this, the recent military meetings among Senior Military Officials had almost unanimously approved major directions.
Especially after the emergence of Yi Chen’s Heaven-Slashing Technique, there was no controversy whatsoever.
The fifteen military giants had reached a tacit agreement.
That was to make the skills created by Yi Chen the absolute core of military development.
All plans and development strategies would revolve around this absolute core for formulation and revision.
“Lastly!”
Marshal Iron Blood said with a stern expression, “After the great defeat a century ago, the council members began to behave ominously like ghosts, making decisions that left everyone bewildered.”
“But regardless of their attitude or thoughts on that side, the military needs time. I plan to visit the various races soon!”
The fourteen military leaders furrowed their brows slightly.
But in the end, no one spoke up, choosing to remain silent.
Deep down, they preferred to face threats head-on, even taking the initiative to strike the Angelic Beings first.
Especially with the emergence of divine consciousness and the Beast Taming Technique, the military now felt emboldened to take on the alliance of eight races without fear.
If they refuse to comply, they could just fight back; this was the proud attitude of humanity in past conflicts.
But as Marshal Iron Blood said, the military now needed time. The longer the great war dragged on, the stronger the military would become.
Ding ding ding!
Just as Marshal Iron Blood was about to announce the end of the meeting, the communicator on the table suddenly rang with a clear sound.
Only urgent messages come through at this time.
He picked it up and saw that it was a request for a video communication from his secretary.
He immediately stood up and went to the hidden chamber next door.
When he came out, half an hour had passed.
A powerful and indescribable aura of fury surrounded Iron Blood.
His eyes sparkled with sharp intent.
“The council has finally made some personnel decisions. Everyone can discuss when we will send troops to the Angelic Beings and which of you will assume command!”
Buzz!
The fourteen military leaders immediately stood up.
No one expected that just a moment ago, Marshal Iron Blood had decided to personally visit the various races, but his attitude had suddenly done a complete turnaround.
Marshal Iron Blood looked intensely at them:
“The council has secretly formed a defensive alliance with the Ten-Armed Tribe, the Frenzied Tribe, and the Duke of the Undying Race!”
“Gentlemen, the first interspecies war in this star cluster is about to arrive!”
The fourteen military leaders were left dumbfounded.
……
“Chief, you called for me?”
In the valley, the high priest ran over to Yi Chen.
He knelt down, feeling anxious.
“Get up!”
Yi Chen asked, “How is the collection of spirit mines coming along?”
The high priest prepared to rise, but when he saw Yi Chen still sitting on the stone, he had to kneel down again, pretending he hadn’t heard the previous remark.
“Return, Chief. So far, including the spirit stone mine, we have discovered a total of four types of spirit mine deposits.”
“The other three types of spirit mines have only been partially mined, and we are still primarily focused on extracting from the spirit stone mine.”
"Besides this, there are about fifty other spirit mines, but most are only discovered by the soldiers of the four armies occasionally."
"There are only a little over a hundred pieces in total, with the smallest being the size of a fist."
Yi Chen pondered for a moment and instructed, "You at the Political Council should find a way to prepare a team dedicated to searching for and detecting underground deposits."
"Understood!"
The high priest quickly nodded.
"At the end of the valley, right next to my stone house, build a larger stone house."
Yi Chen continued directing, "Move all the lesser spirit mines there, and send a batch of the larger ones as well. Make a list that clearly details the quantities of each type of spirit mine."
His next new skill had long been decided.
That would be the weapon refining technique.
He wanted to see if he could create spiritual artifacts or treasures based on the existing materials.
Originally, the potion making technique would have better suited the current development of the Flame Mountain Tribe.
Whether for temporarily boosting power, increasing speed, or healing injuries and accelerating spirit power recovery, spirit pills could significantly enhance the strength of the four armies.
If luck was on their side, finding suitable materials could yield spirit pills that speed up training or greatly enhance one’s realm.
This would massively boost the average realm of the Flame Mountain Tribe.
But for now, conditions did not permit that.
Spirit materials are difficult to preserve, and many cannot even be transplanted with their soil.
To collect a variety of spirit materials, they would need to wait until later when they can use the weapon refining technique to create some suitable tools or treasures for preserving these materials.
Fortunately, the weapon refining technique is also promising.
Various spiritual artifacts and treasures could similarly increase the average strength of the tribe members.
In fact, they often have more comprehensive functions and wider applications.
Compared to the potion making technique, they just can’t directly or quickly elevate the realm of the tribe members.
"Understood!"
The high priest nodded.
"Go on!"
Yi Chen waved his hand and flew toward his stone house.
The high priest felt like he had been granted a reprieve, and his uneasy feelings immediately dissipated.
