Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 693 - 390: Special Department: Tenglong_2

As for the Thunder Rules, Ye Feng didn’t plan to spend time intentionally comprehending them, partly because the importance of the Thunder Rules was not high, and partly because he really was too busy to have that much time.

Moreover, as his cultivation of the "Thunderbolt Divine Body" deepened, his compatibility with all Thunder Rules would naturally get stronger.

Once the "Thunderbolt Divine Body" reached Great Success, comprehending the Thunder Rules would be easy. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

After planning his cultivation path, Ye Feng started to practice step by step.

However, he didn’t practice for long, as the talent cultivation plan would officially start in the afternoon, and he had a meeting to attend.

So, after merely three hours of practice, and it being 1 o’clock in the afternoon, Ye Feng stopped.

"This Golden Crow Refining Spirit Method is really difficult to practice!" Ye Feng couldn’t help but complain.

With his spiritual power now fully reaching the intensity of the Late Stage of the Eighth Order, in theory, any Spirit Power Secret Technique should be easy to learn.

Although mastering them might be challenging, just getting started should definitely be easy.

However, the difficulty of just getting started with the Golden Crow Refining Spirit Method was extremely high.

"It’ll probably take at least one more day and night of practice to possibly reach the entry level," Ye Feng shook his somewhat swollen head, let out a light sigh, and stood up.

It’s worth noting that Ye Feng had a large supply of the Fruit of Life, which could continuously replenish his consumption of spiritual power, allowing him to practice without interruption.

Therefore, for him, one day and night would be the equivalent of least 10 days to half a month for others.

That is to say, under normal circumstances, a spiritual power expert in the Late Stage of the Eighth Order would need ten days to half a month just to get started with the Golden Crow Refining Spirit Method.

This could only be described as outrageous.

...

Ye Feng returned to the hotel, ordered a meal, finished lunch, and then took Ye Rou to the designated location according to the information sent to his phone.

This special department was located in the suburbs of the capital, and the reason for choosing such a remote location was naturally because there were fewer people, which meant the department could cover a much larger area.

Yes, upon arriving at this special department, Ye Feng’s first impression was of its vastness; its total area was on par with a university.

Perhaps because it was newly established, there weren’t many tall buildings, and some places were still under construction.

Even so, the security here was very strict. Ye Feng could feel that he was being watched by someone as soon as he entered a range of 1000 meters of this building, and after getting within 300 meters, he was directly intercepted.

Of course, after showing his identification, guards immediately came to guide them.

Before long, the two of them arrived at a huge conference room.

Ye Feng and his sister were among the later arrivals. By the time they got there, the rest of the contestants selected for the talent cultivation plan had mostly arrived.

Of course, there were supposed to be only 300 people, 50 from each Order from First to Sixth.

But at this moment, there were nearly 1000 people in the conference room, and it was evident that the additional 700 were those who were directly selected for the talent cultivation plan without going through the preliminaries.

And these people were at least Fourth Order or above, with the majority being Fifth and Sixth Order.

Ye Feng also saw many familiar faces, such as Chen Dalong, Bai Junheng, Wu Yuqin, Fang Ziyuan, and others.

However, it seemed that the contestants and those who were directly promoted didn’t see eye to eye.

This could be seen from the tense atmosphere between them, with neither side giving way to the other in the seating area.

Although the conference room had areas designated for each Order from First to Sixth, there was no clear seating arrangement, but each seat had a number on it.

And these people were very adamant about the order of the seats.

"Ye brother, you’ve finally arrived! I’ve specially reserved a front-row seat for you," Chen Dalong said with a smile as he greeted Ye Feng upon his entrance.

Ye Feng nodded, walking forward with Ye Rou, and casually asked, "Do these seat numbers mean anything? Why are they all fighting over them?"

"Because those numbers, in a sense, symbolize one’s status. They’re fighting for seats because they’re competing for future status," Chen Dalong replied.

"Is there such a saying?" Ye Feng was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, although it’s not explicitly stated, it’s a tradition left by the older members," said Chen Dalong, nodding toward Bai Junheng.

Ye Feng nodded thoughtfully.

At this moment, they had arrived at the very front row, where the seats represented ranking numbers 1 to 10.

The first and second seats were still vacant.

Clearly, the first seat was Ye Feng’s, and the second was Chen Dalong’s.

However, Ye Feng didn’t head over there but took Ye Rou to the area designated for the Second Stage contestants.

"Here, Xiao Rou, sit here!" Ye Feng pointed to the seat numbered three.

The seat had been previously occupied, but the member there very perceptively stood up and moved back a spot.

After all, Ye Rou had legitimately obtained the third rank in the previous contest, and with Ye Feng personally bringing her over, none of the Second Stage members dared to offend Ye Feng, thus tacitly acknowledging the arrangement.

After seating arrangements were made, Ye Feng returned to his place.

"How long before the meeting starts?" Ye Feng inquired.

Chen Dalong looked at his watch and replied, "It should start any moment now; it’s about time."

Ye Feng gave a silent nod, then closed his eyes and continued to practice the Golden Crow Refining Spirit Method.

Not much time passed, merely five minutes later, a group of guards appeared at the door, signaling for everyone to be quiet.

Then, Chen Yuejun, the head of the security department, walked up to the lectern at the front of the meeting room under everyone’s gaze.

"First, I want to congratulate all of you for making it here, which means you have been successfully selected for the genius training program. The department executing this plan is a special one called Longteng."

"Here you will have access to the best training resources, the finest teaching, and be equipped with the best gear."

Chen Yuejun paused here, noting the involuntary joy on the faces of those below.

He then spoke in a serious tone, "However, all this comes at a price."

"The singular goal of establishing the Longteng Department is to deal with the ’Forbidden Zone.’

"Within one month at the most, the fifth Spiritual Energy Resurgence will begin, and by then, you will be the pioneers in confronting the Forbidden Zone."

Upon hearing this, quite a few faces turned a shade paler, especially those of lower Realms.

But they had anticipated such a situation when they joined the program, so now they all just pursed their lips, waiting for Chen Yuejun to continue.

"Of course, it’s unrealistic to expect you to confront the Forbidden Zone at the start, which is why you need to train, to grow, to bring out your maximum potential."

"The objective is to forge you into a sharp blade, to be deployed in the most critical moments, at the most crucial locations," said Chen Yuejun.

Everyone silently nodded, untroubled by this arrangement.

"In fact, the Tenglong department has existed before, and a Special Combat Group has already been formed, led by Bai Junheng."

"Now with the increase in personnel, it’s definitely necessary to expand, so according to the decision of the higher-ups, there will be three additional special combat groups established."

"Bai Junheng will retain his position, continuing to serve as the captain of the first combat group."

"The second special combat group will be commanded by Chen Dalong, the third by Wu Yuqin, the fourth by Fang Ziyuan."

Hearing this, the audience had strange looks on their faces, and they couldn’t help but glance toward the front where Ye Feng was.

Logically, from any aspect, there should be a place for Ye Feng.

As they were wondering, Chen Yuejun continued, "Four special combat groups combined make up a Special Combat Group, and the group leader will be Ye Feng."
