"Secret technique?"
Luo Feng's heart leaped with joy, his eyes shining as he looked at Jiang Li, filled with deep gratitude."Th—Thank you, Brother Jiang!"
"You've earned it."
Jiang Li smiled faintly and waved his hand, his gaze lifting toward the endless starlit sky."Luo Feng, work hard. Our future lies up there."
"The universe…?"
Luo Feng froze for a moment, dazed.
"I'll head back first."
Jiang Li didn't answer him directly. His figure flickered, and in the next moment, he vanished from the second-floor balcony in a streak of flowing light, disappearing from the HR Alliance Mall.
Jiang Li immediately sent a message to Ling Ling.
"My dear wife, I've returned from the Australian continent. Meet me at the Mingyue Community Plaza in half an hour — I have something important to discuss with you.—Your loving husband."
Once he sent the message, Jiang Li took off toward Mingyue Community.
He knew that once Ling Ling saw the message, she would definitely come.
Half an hour later—
At the Mingyue Community Citizen Plaza, a young woman in a flowing purple gown stood there, smiling softly at Jiang Li.
Since Jiang Li left the Elite Training Camp, Ling Ling had also completed her special training and returned to Jiangnan District—Just to wait for his return.
More than half a year apart.For the two of them, it had been far, far too long.
"Jiang Li, what's so important that you had to meet me here to talk about it?"
Jiang Li took a deep breath, steadying himself.Then he strode forward until he was half a meter in front of her.
"Ling Ling, marry me."
"I'll protect you for the rest of my life."
Ling Ling froze in surprise.
When Jiang Li had asked her to meet at the community plaza, she hadn't expected this at all.
But then, a tender smile blossomed on her enchanting face.
She murmured softly, almost to herself, "You're finally willing to marry me."
Then she leaned closer, her breath warm against his ear, voice as soft as orchid fragrance."Alright then… when shall we hold the wedding?"
For a heartbeat—
Warmth washed over Jiang Li. His mind went blank.
She agreed?Just like that?
No flowers.No ring.No grand romance.
So simple…Yet so warm.
Jiang Li took a deep breath in her gentle embrace, then couldn't resist lowering his head—and kissing the cherry-pink lips he had longed for so long.
Ling Ling blinked in surprise at first, then closed her eyes and responded with passionate tenderness.
The two of them embraced and kissed, lost in each other, oblivious to the world around them.
Passersby glanced over, shook their heads, and moved on.Public displays of affection weren't exactly rare these days.
After a long while, Ling Ling finally pushed him away gently.
"Hubby, let's go home. Don't disturb everyone here."
Jiang Li licked his lips, reluctant to stop."Alright… then we'll continue at home."
That night—Clouds turned, dragons dove, and the phoenix cried to the heavens!
Two days before New Year's Eve — only three days until the Spring Festival.
For the people of Hanxia, even after the Great Nirvana, the traditions and celebrations of the New Year remained as joyous as ever.
But this year, the Jiangnan Base City was especially lively.
In the early hours before dawn—
A blood-red triangular fighter jet streaked across half of Hanxia.It was none other than Hong's personal Hyper-Intelligent Warship, the Honghuang.
The moment news spread of his arrival, the martial world, political circles, military officers, business magnates, and major families of Jiangnan all made their way to the Extreme Dojo Grand Hall to welcome him.
At the same time, over a dozen sleek, cobalt-blue HR Alliance warships from across the globe were flying toward the same destination—
Because—
Today marked the Inauguration Ceremony of the Sixth Global Inspector of the Extreme Dojo.
And on the same day—It was also his wedding ceremony.
At dawn, in Yangzhou City's Mingyue Community, as the first sunlight spilled across the horizon, Jiang Li arrived dressed in full ceremonial attire at the Extreme Dojo's landing field.
"Greetings, Inspector Jiang!"
"Inspector, sir!"
"Salutations to Inspector Jiang!"
The martial artists and their families in the community all bowed respectfully as he passed, eyes full of admiration.
In their hearts, they couldn't help but wonder—Who could be so important that even an Inspector would personally come to welcome them?
Moments later—
A gleaming silver-white triangular warship cut through the sky above the community and descended slowly.
"A triangular fighter?!"
"It's even more beautiful than Inspector Jiang's!"
"Wait—that's the Thunder Dojo's emblem!"
The residents murmured, and the more experienced martial artists immediately recognized the markings.
With a hiss of hydraulics, the hatch opened—
From within stepped Hong and Lei Shen (Thunder God), side by side.
At 10:00 AM, the Jiangnan Grand Hall of the Extreme Dojo was filled to capacity. The grand ceremony officially began.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Inauguration Ceremony for the new Global Inspector of the Extreme Dojo.
Attending today's ceremony are:— The Global Head of the Extreme Dojo, Hong!— The Global Head of the Thunder Dojo, Thunder God!— The Fourth Speaker of the War God Palace, Mohanderson!— Representatives from the HR Alliance…"
When the host mentioned Mohanderson's title, a ripple of surprise spread across the hall.
Fourth Speaker?Wasn't he the Third before?
No one believed the host could make such a mistake on an occasion this important.
There was only one explanation—A new powerhouse had surpassed Mohanderson!
As the host continued reading names, the spotlights finally converged on a young man in a pristine white formal suit, sitting in the front row.On his left was Hong.On his right was Thunder God.
That seating arrangement alone made even the veteran Warlords and legislators draw sharp breaths—They had never seen anything like it.
"I now introduce the man who will officially assume the position of Global Inspector of the Extreme Dojo—Legislator Jiang Li!"
Immediately, the massive screen behind the stage displayed a virtual projection—Jiang Li, clad in white, black hair fluttering, a long sword named Zhuxian in hand, standing proudly in the air.
"You brat even went to City 003?"
Thunder God chuckled when he saw the background image.That was unmistakably the Changhe Battle Base.
"When the nation is in peril, as a son of Hanxia, how could I turn away?"
Jiang Li replied calmly.
"Next, let's welcome the instructor from the Jiangnan Base City's Yangzhou Yi'an District Extreme Dojo—'Jiang Nian,' the mentor who guided Legislator Jiang Li through his martial examination!"
The host's loud announcement was followed by triumphant music.
Jiang Nian, trembling slightly, rose from his seat and walked up the stage.He was only a Junior Warlord, and before him sat countless powerhouses beyond even the rank of War God, along with the two greatest martial masters on Earth…It was all he could do just to stay on his feet.
"Master Hong, are they really going to… tell my whole life story up there?"
Jiang Li turned his head toward Hong, half-joking.
"Jiang Li, you're no longer just an Inspector."
Hong smiled faintly, nodding."The path of a martial artist is like ten thousand soldiers crossing a single-log bridge. Those who reach the Planetary level are exceedingly few. That's why each Inspector's inauguration ceremony highlights their journey and achievements."
"Partly to honor their contributions to humanity—"
"And partly to inspire future generations to fight onward!"
Soon, Jiang Nian began recounting how he first met Jiang Li, who had been twenty-two years old — considered "late" for martial awakening — yet passed the combat exam on his first try.
Then came Wu Tong and Zhuge Tao, who shared how Jiang Li trained relentlessly despite his age, breaking through to the War General level within just one month.
Next were the members of the Firehammer Squad, who told of their battles in the wilderness, of facing the Japanese War God head-on, and Jiang Li's fearless strike that ended the fight.
After that, even Elite Training Camp students like Shi Jiang and Zhao Ruo took the stage—
The entire presentation lasted over an hour, painting Jiang Li as a flawless figure of talent, diligence, courage, and compassion—A perfect hero.
Finally—
Hong stood up, walked to the stage, and solemnly announced:
"I hereby declare that Legislator Jiang Li officially assumes the position of the Sixth Global Inspector of the Extreme Dojo!"
"And furthermore—"
"He shall also serve as the First Speaker of the War God Palace!"
"That's right—at this very moment, Legislator Jiang Li's strength has surpassed both Thunder God and myself…"
"He is, without a doubt—the strongest man in the world!"
The hall erupted in gasps and applause that thundered like a storm.
