Chapter 102: Qin Ming’s Domain, Part Three

The fighter jet was still hovering above the villa. When Qin Ming came down, he noticed that while many of the neighbors who used to look at him with envy and jealousy now showed mostly admiration and respect.

"Good son!"

Qin Yicheng and Luo Xia came out at once. The old couple’s faces were filled with pride, as though they were saying: Look, this is our son, not only immensely powerful, but also a man of great righteousness.

Back inside, Qin Yicheng raised a thumb. "Amazing. Incredible. Those sword strikes of yours had my blood boiling just watching them!"

"Boiling, huh? Your face went white the moment you saw your son facing that king-level sea beast!" Luo Xia teased.

"And what about you? You were almost in tears!" Qin Yicheng shot back. "Who was it shouting that if our son died, I wouldn’t live either?"

Their laughter and banter made Qin Ming feel deeply warmed.

His life soon returned to peace, though he did not stop cultivating.

In truth, when he slew the Three-Headed Serpent, he had not even used a third of his strength.

If he were to unleash himself fully, just how far he could go was something even he could not easily guess.

The next day, Hong called.

"You brat. You’ve already officially stepped into the planetary level, and you still haven’t applied to become the Sixth Inspector. Do you want me to invite you personally?"

"Chief, is there really a need to go through all those formalities?"

"If you weren’t exposing yourself, then it wouldn’t matter. But now it absolutely does. Otherwise, people will think I’m suppressing you. Besides, once you become a councillor and an inspector of the Ultimate Dojo, your past will be thoroughly compiled, along with the people around you and so on. That is their honor as well, and your story can inspire even more young people to strive harder!"

"All right then. When would be convenient for you?"

"Three days from now, at the Dojo headquarters. Global live broadcast!"

"Understood."

Qin Ming agreed.

After setting the time, he continued cultivating.

His cultivation had already reached the third planetary rank.

He drank mid-grade spiritual liquid every day to cultivate; with unlimited supply, it would have been strange not to improve rapidly.

In that other world, mid-grade spiritual liquid was even highly effective for Earth Immortal experts. How much more so now?

With one swallow of spiritual liquid, his genetic primal energy grew stronger and his physical body intensified.

Genetic primal energy and physical strength supported each other, each nourishing the other.

Qin Ming also occasionally sat cross-legged, allowing his consciousness to descend into that other world, where he would sit upon the Enlightenment Platform, contemplate the domain, and perceive the fluctuations of space.

Once a person became absorbed in something, time always seemed to pass in the blink of an eye.

In the twinkling of an eye, three days had gone by.

"Mom, Dad, let’s go!" Qin Ming had the fighter jet descend.

Since he was becoming a councillor and the Sixth Inspector of the Ultimate Dojo, it was only natural that his parents would take part. Not only them, but also his primary school, middle school, and high school teachers, as well as Zhou Jing from the dojo in the residential district, Wu Tong from the branch hall, and even Zhou Zhengyong, the president of Jiangnan Base City, had all been invited. His neighbors, his friend Wang Lang, and many others had also received invitations and had already headed in advance to the Ultimate Dojo headquarters.

"Let’s go!" Qin Yicheng and Luo Xia were both extremely excited.

They had taken the Kunlun smart fighter jet before, but this time felt especially solemn.

Soon, the jet arrived at the Ultimate Dojo headquarters.

Outside the enormous conference hall, a red carpet had already been laid out, and the decorations were even more magnificent than those of a festival.

Below, inside and out, at least a thousand people had already gathered.

"He’s here!"

No one knew who said it, but everyone lifted their heads at once.

Cameras also turned upward in unison.

The global live broadcast began from this moment.

Qin Ming escorted his parents as he leapt down from the fighter jet and landed on the red carpet.

At once, a stir broke out on both sides, yet no one stepped forward.

They did not dare.

Hong came out personally to receive them. "Mr. Qin, Miss Luo, you have raised a wonderful son!"

"Chief!" Qin Yicheng was extremely moved.

After becoming a warrior, his idol had been Hong. Now that he stood so close to him, it would have been a lie to say he was not excited.

"Mr. Hong, I’ll have to trouble you to look after Ming in the future!" At this moment, Luo Xia was far calmer.

"Look after him?" Hong said oddly, then looked at Qin Ming and smiled. "I thought you would be late today."

"Even if I were more oblivious to etiquette, I still wouldn’t dare act recklessly today," Qin Ming said with a smile.

They did not speak long before heading inside.

The moment they entered the conference hall, all eyes turned toward them.

At this moment, Qin Ming’s brilliance even surpassed Hong’s.

There, Qin Ming saw many familiar faces.

Zhao Ruo and Shi Jiang from the Jiangnan Pavilion of the Elite Training Camp both waved at him, and Qin Ming smiled and nodded back.

There was also Chu Qiang.

He also saw William and Candice. Their gazes toward him were especially complicated.

Back when Qin Ming had first arrived at the Elite Training Camp, William had challenged him. Qin Ming had directly raised the wager to fifty billion, costing those two dearly and causing quite a sensation at the time.

Most of the world’s war gods had arrived, and even a large number of councillors had rushed over.

For the youngest ever appointment at councillor level, everyone wanted to befriend him.

Qin Ming looked around one by one before finally reaching the center.

Hong spoke from the side. "On the fifteenth day of the first month, a day when every household should have been reunited, the eastern seas of China were invaded by sea beasts, forming a first-level beast tide, with king-level sea beasts attacking. It was also on that day that Qin Ming went to provide support, slew a king-level sea beast in battle, and turned the tide of war all by himself. It was also on that day that we learned he had already stepped into the councillor level. Today, he becomes the Sixth Inspector of our Ultimate Dojo!"

His declaration settled everything in a single stroke.

Next, the host began recounting Qin Ming’s past achievements and invited relevant people one by one to speak, making his story richer and more complete.

Primary school teacher: Councillor Qin had been intelligent and well-behaved since childhood, with exceptional bearing.

Middle school teacher: Even back then, he already displayed peerless talent. One glance was enough to tell he was no ordinary man.

High school teacher: At the time, his academic performance was excellent, but he wanted to drop out. We were unwilling to agree, yet Councillor Qin revealed heaven-defying martial talent, and only then did we consent.

Neighbor...

Zhou Jing...

Wu Tong...

Wang Lang...

His parents...

One after another stood before the cameras, speaking with excitement as they praised Qin Ming into a near-perfect figure.

"He, at eighteen, created an unprecedented secret technique; he, at eighteen, became the richest man in the world; he, at eighteen, became the youngest invincible war god; he, at eighteen, was already capable of contending with king-level ferocious beasts; he, at eighteen, became the youngest inspector of the Ultimate Dojo; and now, before even reaching nineteen, he has already transcended the gods, stepped into the councillor level, and slain a king-level sea beast. He is Qin Ming!"

The host’s voice grew even more fervent.

Qin Ming kept a modest smile on his face throughout. In the end, he said a few official words, but his final sentence rang out with force: "Within at most three years, we will once again cage the ferocious beasts on land in zoos, and keep the sea beasts in ocean parks."

After spending most of the day on all this, Qin Ming finally got free and came to Hong’s living room.

Lei Shen was also there. Looking at Qin Ming, he smiled. "How does it feel?"

"One word: tiring. Two words: really tiring. Three words: exhausting," Qin Ming said helplessly.

"Hahaha!" Lei Shen laughed. "This is a ceremony. It can inspire hearts and stir up fighting spirit."

Qin Ming nodded, understanding the principle.

Hong pointed to the sofa beside him and told him to sit, then suddenly asked, "You’ve comprehended a domain, haven’t you?"

"Chief, how did you know?" Qin Ming asked in surprise.

"Guessing," Hong said with a smile. "From now on, call me Big Brother. We’ll cultivate together and seek higher realms together!"

"All right." Qin Ming nodded. "Greetings, Big Brother."

He understood that this was Hong’s recognition of him.

A domain: he could be considered the second person in the world to comprehend one.

Even Lei Shen had yet to reach that stage.

He did not care about revealing his domain.

"You brat, you really comprehended one!" Lei Shen cried out, then said excitedly, "Come on, show it to us. Let me feel what kind of domain it is and how powerful it is!"

Hong’s eyes also lit up.

"All right." Qin Ming smiled faintly. Without even standing up, the space around him began to distort.

The view before them blurred, bringing an almost dizzying sense of disorientation.

"Light? No, absolutely not light!" Lei Shen’s expression grew solemn. "I can feel my body being compressed, even twisted and folded, and this space itself seems like it’s about to collapse. Hiss—could it be a spatial domain?"

"A spatial domain!" Hong was also shocked.

Qin Ming withdrew the domain and nodded. "It is a spatial domain. I only comprehended it not long ago, and I haven’t yet developed all its mysteries."

"It really is a spatial domain. How is that possible?" Hong said in disbelief, then shook his head. "You really are a little monster; you can’t be judged by ordinary standards. Still, this is perfect. With your spatial domain, we have even more confidence."

"Big Brother, could it be that..." Qin Ming spread out his palm and clenched it hard.

"Yes." Hong nodded. "We’ve waited long enough for this day!"

"First sweep the land clean and remove all future trouble, then deal with those two emperor-level sea beasts. That way, we won’t be attacked from both front and back!" Lei Shen said. "Third Brother, do you want to go?"

"My battle blade has long been thirsting for blood!"

How could Qin Ming possibly refuse?
