Jiang Kai had just finished speaking when a man in light blue armor stepped forward, glaring coldly at Jiang Kai and sternly said, "Watch your tone. Who do you think you are, addressing General Wei like that?"

  The man also had a War God Temple emblem on his chest, but it was silver, indicating he was a city-level member of the War God Temple.

  Jiang Kai frowned at the man. Didn't Old Wei usually like to have Xiao Hei with him? Why wasn't Xiao Hei here today?

  Just as the man was about to say more, Wei Ying raised a hand, "Bing, it's fine. I've said before that in informal settings, he can address me like that."

  Bing frowned at General Wei, surprised that General Wei was speaking up for Jiang Kai...

  Wei Ying smiled and walked up to Jiang Kai, "Xiao Kai, can we put the guild points matter aside for now? Is this the place with the Connection Teleportation Array?"

  Jiang Kai thought for a moment. He trusted Wei Ying, so he nodded.

  Wei Ying squinted slightly, surveying the surroundings, then nodded knowingly, "No wonder it couldn't be found. There's an illusion here! Even if you've passed by countless times, who would think there's a path here?"

  "Everyone, step aside."

  The soldiers around them moved to either side.

  Wei Ying approached the mountainside, raised his right arm, gently rotated his wrist, and placed his palm upright.

  After a brief moment of gathering energy, Wei Ying shouted, "Control the Universe!"

  With a boom, a fierce gust of air blasted from Wei Ying's palm, striking the mountainside, causing it to tremble!

  Immediately, a chaotic stream of air dispersed outward, transforming into colorful mist, which dissipated moments later.

  When Jiang Kai looked back at the mountainside, he was astonished to see a narrow path only he could see.

  "The illusion is gone! This... is..." Jiang Kai was shocked.

  Wei Ying had dispelled the illusionary mist with a single strike!

  "This is a True Qi attack," Wei Ying said, retracting his hand with a smile. "Only among our martial apprentices in China is there a chance to gain True Qi talents and skills, allowing mastery of such power."

  "Internationally, martial apprentices have fallen to sixth place in the profession rankings, but I've never believed in those rankings." Wei Ying's tone carried confidence, "China's heritage spans millennia, with deep roots. How can rankings based solely on data grasp the essence of martial arts?"

  "When True Qi is unleashed, the top five professions have to make way!"

  Jiang Kai's eyes widened. He could feel Wei Ying's pride in being a martial apprentice from China, and as a Chinese himself, he also trusted Wei Ying's judgment!

  Zhu's talent also included the ability to harness True Qi, but this was the first time Jiang Kai had seen someone use True Qi in actual combat!

  It turned out, Old Wei wasn't just some old man; being called the Guardian of River City, he possessed immense strength!

  After dispersing the mist, Wei Ying immediately led people inside to investigate.

  A few minutes later, Wei Ying came out, brimming with excitement.

  "Great, we finally found it! Bing, log off now and report this to the higher-ups!" After giving instructions, Wei Ying walked over to Jiang Kai, smiling, "Good job, kid! How did you find this place?"

  How did he find it? Jiang Kai didn't know how to answer, so he pointed at Hu Yan, "It was him who discovered it."

  "Oh? You're Hu Yan, right? I've heard about you. As a Feng Shui Master, you've paved a unique path, which is quite rare."

  "You, you know me..." Hu Yan was flattered, quickly saying, "Actually, you're giving me too much credit. It's all thanks to Jiang Kai that my seemingly useless profession could play a small role."

  "I remember Kai's team telling me never to underestimate any profession, never to underestimate any skill!"

  Wei Ying frowned slightly, then relaxed, "No wonder, no matter who it is, following Jiang Kai, they always manage to shine! Xiao Kai, I'll remember what you said."

  "Hu Yan, you haven't told us how you discovered this place."

  "Uh..." Hu Yan stammered, facing his idol, he wanted to be truthful, but after thinking about it, he couldn't say something like "I got the information by selling my charm."

  In the end, he vaguely said, "I, uh, when I was casually deducing Feng Shui, I thought this place was a treasure land..."

  Wei Ying frowned, "So that's how it is. It seems we don't know enough about Feng Shui Masters..."

  Regardless, China had finally found the Connection Teleportation Array.

  Next naturally came the rewards and recognition.

  "Jiang Kai, guild points cannot be bought or sold. This has been a consistent rule since the establishment of guilds in China, and I hope you understand," Wei Ying said.

  "Moreover, many guilds have been trying every means to acquire more guild points. Your 2000 points are a significant fortune!"

  Jiang Kai frowned. He had never paid much attention to the guild, nor did he understand its mechanisms.

  "What else can guild points be used for?"

  Wei Ying smiled slightly, "One is related to guild rankings. The higher the ranking, the more well-known it becomes, attracting more people to join. The more people, the more points can be earned, allowing the guild to enter a phase of rapid development."

  Jiang Kai shook his head. He never intended to develop the Main God Guild or seek fame.

  "Another use is to exchange points with the military for rewards. Rewards include rare high-grade materials, advanced equipment, skill books, information, and even professional training guidance, important information resources, etc. The development of Ghost Star is now a national endeavor, and we naturally reward organizations that contribute to its development."

  The military was the first to enter Ghost Star, having done so twenty years before civilians, and nearly every map BOSS and Guardian Lord required military assistance or direct intervention.

  Undoubtedly, the resources the military possessed, whether material or in terms of experience, training, and information, were unmatched by any guild.

  Hearing Wei Ying's explanation, Jiang Kai suddenly realized that keeping the guild points seemed more advantageous than cashing them out...

  Seeing those guild leaders, their eyes green with envy, Jiang Kai thought keeping the points wouldn't be a loss!

  "Alright, points it is..."

  Wei Ying nodded with a smile. He looked at Jiang Kai, Hu Yan, and Ruan Yu, saying, "The military won't interfere with the internal management of guilds, but from my personal perspective, honestly, I do hope your Main God Guild grows stronger."

  "Alright, Jiang Kai, although I'd love to visit your Main God Guild for some tea and chat, China has just discovered the Connection Teleportation Array, and I have a lot of work to do, so I might not have time to chat with you."

  Jiang Kai nodded, "Alright."

  ...

  China confirmed a piece of news: China had discovered the Connection Teleportation Array, becoming the 59th country globally to do so.

  Although China made a breakthrough, being the 59th country to discover it was still not an optimistic result.

  The Chinese military didn't even have time to celebrate and immediately moved to the second phase.

  Breaking through other countries' blockades and entering the Public Area!

  Currently, research on the Connection Teleportation Array is quite thorough globally.

  The Connection Teleportation Array has several characteristics: First, only those below the third tier can enter.

  Second, each person can only enter the Connection Teleportation Array once. Once they die or leave, they cannot enter again.

  Third, the teleportation array operates in a team mode, allowing a maximum of five people to log in at once. Each teleportation array can log in three groups a day, totaling 15 people, with a minimum interval of 3 seconds between each group.

  Fourth, there are only four login gates in the Public Area!

  This means that all countries globally, regardless of which teleportation array they use to log in, will ultimately log in through these four gates into the Public Area.

  This makes blocking the Public Area feasible, and for countries newly discovering teleportation arrays, entering the Public Area has become even more challenging!

  Given the current situation, a day later, China immediately dispatched three teams to cross the Connection Login Gate.

  These three teams were composed entirely of elite military personnel, all at second tier level 20, equipped with excellent talents, skills, and gear, logging into the Public Area for the first time.

  However, within an hour of the four teams logging in, all 15 members of these three teams were killed and logged off!

  They hadn't even left the login area of the Public Area before being ambushed by multiple teams!

  For half a month, China dispatched 45 five-person teams, all of which were killed and logged off!

  Fifteen days later, the number of countries discovering the Connection Login Gate rose to 69, leaving only 11 countries before reaching the limit of 80!

  Meanwhile, the War God Temple training camps in various Chinese cities officially began their selection process!
