Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 744 - 422: The Animal Subordinate who Broke Through to the Seventh Order_3

At this moment, all cities across the nation had entered a first-level alert state, managing all citizens in a militarized manner and allocating all resources to defense efforts.

Furthermore, this state of affairs was set to last for at least a week or more until the crisis involving the mutated beings was resolved.

However, upon reviewing comments from netizens in various regions, Ye Feng noticed that their attitudes were fairly positive. After all, this wasn’t their first experience with such events, and they were mentally prepared.

Moreover, now that all citizens were trained in martial arts, even if some mutated insects did manage to enter the cities, they would not be completely defenseless.

Still, seeing the arrangements made nationwide, Ye Feng sent a message to the three camp leaders, Bai Junheng, Wu Yuqin, and Fang Ziyuan, asking them to be ready to rush to the aid of any city in need at a moment’s notice.

As for himself, he was no longer concerned with these matters.

If the special operations team, comprising the nation’s top fighters, couldn’t handle these mutated beings, there was no point in its existence; they might as well disband on the spot.

The only issue Ye Feng still needed to pay attention to was the major forbidden areas or to guard against foreign beings causing trouble.

Therefore, after quickly browsing through the domestic situation, he opened international news to catch up.

Compared to the domestic mix of excitement and nervousness, the international public was predominantly in panic, particularly those from small and medium-sized countries.

Unlike the nationwide martial arts training at home, other nations did send representatives to compete for the Land of Inheritance.

But only a very few ever reached Rule Mountain.

Of course, it wasn’t that the teams from other nations were lacking in strength, but reaching Rule Mountain was of no use to them.

Initially, millions of Forbidden Area Creatures had gathered there, and going there was akin to seeking death.

It wasn’t until Ye Feng himself arrived at Rule Mountain, leading Dragon Hall to battle the million-strong army and ultimately displaying strength that even the Forbidden Area Creatures feared, that the struggle concluded.

By then, the number of human teams remaining near Rule Mountain had drastically dwindled, with even fewer managing to seize the opportunity to receive protection from Ye Feng and others.

Thus, not every country had obtained cultivation methods.

Even those that did were lucky to have a few Cultivation Techniques; it was nothing like at home, with hundreds of Cultivation Methods to choose from, ensuring that everyone could find one suitable for themselves.

Naturally, because of this, some overseas organizations and forces would certainly entertain the notion of secretly learning martial arts.

This was inevitable and difficult to keep confidential, especially because there were too many individuals practicing each martial art.

But there was a method to cope with this situation. Initially, the distribution of Cultivation Techniques occurred in stages.

For instance, at the beginning, one could only obtain the first-level technique, and only after breaking through to the Second Stage could one apply to learn the second-level technique, and so on.

This meant that those organizations and forces that engaged in stealing techniques would always be trailing below their average level.

Of course, to address this issue, agreements for intellectual property licenses had already been reached with many countries.

But many other nations found the prices too high and were still negotiating the costs.

Now, with the fifth Spiritual Energy Resurgence underway, no matter how expensive the Cultivation Methods were, these countries had no choice but to grit their teeth and accept them.
