After giving a few simple instructions, Chu Yi let the old men return to their respective homes.

Chu Yi also required them to complete the preparations within their sects within a day and then head to guard the void rifts they were responsible for.

Although the old men were still somewhat dazed and unable to accept their current situation, they still went back to their sects to make preparations.

It’s worth mentioning that no matter how much Chu Yi exerted his authority, Old Lu refused to leave North Hill High School.

He kept pestering Chu Yi to get the method for setting up the Two Elements Micro Dust Formation.

For such an old man obsessed with formations, Chu Yi simply had the Blood Demon knock him out and take him away.

After learning about the void rifts, the Blood Demon also agreed to take on the responsibility of managing the old men.

Thus, the farce with the old men came to an end.

After the old men left, Old Hua and Wang Jiang announced Chu Yi’s rank as Marshal to the public and then immediately left North Hill High School.

With Chu Yi’s assistance, the sects these old men belonged to would undoubtedly fully support China’s efforts.

As the leader of China, Old Hua had been extremely busy during this period.

Although he would be very busy in the coming days, Old Hua always had a smile on his face.

Old Hua and Wang Jiang’s departure was fine, but what gave Chu Yi the biggest headache was that Wang Jiang didn’t take the reporters and cameramen with him when he left!

Chu Yi had to put in a lot of effort to get rid of those reporters and cameramen…

Days passed by, and Chu Yi’s life remained as peaceful and leisurely as ever.

The concentration of spiritual energy grew higher and higher, and the students of North Hill High School were sent to other schools to teach by Chu Yi.

System Brother’s rewards never stopped, but unfortunately, Chu Yi’s luck hadn’t been great lately, and most of the rewards were things he couldn’t use.

So Chu Yi simply gave half of the system rewards to Old Hua and the other half to Chen Hao to use as rewards for other students.

Chu Yi’s strength also gradually increased as time went by.

He was quite satisfied with this kind of life, as someone who preferred to develop quietly, this was exactly the kind of life he wanted…

But this peaceful life didn’t last long.

Two weeks after the old men were subdued, the Free Nation’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs suddenly issued a statement.

And this statement was not a simple one; it contained the signatures of almost all the leaders of the Western countries!

After seeing the statement, Old Hua’s face immediately turned ashen, and he quickly had Wang Jiang take him to North Hill High School.

At that moment, Chu Yi was in his room, bored, watching TV.

It had to be said that ever since the resurgence of spiritual energy and the implementation of the national cultivation plan, the TV was filled with outdated, cliché dramas.

There were no words to describe those dramas other than “melodramatic”!

Just as Chu Yi was flipping through channels out of boredom, a strange spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared in the room.

Noticing the anomaly, Chu Yi just glanced lazily in the direction of the fluctuation and continued watching TV.

The strange spatial fluctuation lasted less than a second before Old Hua and Wang Jiang appeared in Chu Yi’s room.

Chu Yi greeted Old Hua and asked weakly, “Old Hua, what’s the matter? Why did you suddenly come here?”

Old Hua didn’t mind Chu Yi’s casual tone, but handed over the document in his hand with a serious expression.

Chu Yi glanced at Old Hua in surprise, took the document, and began to read it carefully.

The more he read, the more astonished he became, and his expression grew increasingly strange.

The document was the statement issued by the Free Nation’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In the document, the Free Nation expressed deep sorrow over the recent Alien Beast crisis and extended heartfelt sympathy and concern to the people of other countries.

Of course, given the Free Nation’s nature, it was unlikely they would issue such a statement solely out of concern for the world’s people.

After a brief expression of concern, the Free Nation directly stated the real purpose of the statement.

In the statement, the Free Nation severely criticized China.

The gist was that China had implemented a national cultivation plan, greatly enhancing the physical fitness of its citizens, resulting in minimal losses during the recent Alien Beast crisis, with casualties not even exceeding a thousand!

Then, they harshly condemned China for not sharing such a beneficial plan with other countries.

Finally, the Free Nation, representing almost all Western countries, hoped that China would share the national cultivation plan with other countries.

After reading the entire statement, Chu Yi didn’t show any special reaction.

After Chu Yi finished reading, Old Hua spoke worriedly, “Since the Free Nation issued this statement, almost all countries have made similar requests to us.”

“Everyone understands their ulterior motives. In my opinion, the national cultivation plan must not be shared with other countries, as it is the key to China’s rise!”

“Mr. Chu, what do you think about this matter?”

Chu Yi looked at the worried Old Hua and smiled faintly, “There’s no need to care about other countries’ opinions on this matter. After all, I proposed the national cultivation plan, and I have the right to choose which country to implement it in!”

“The Free Nation is just being hypocritical. Old Hua, you don’t need to pay attention to these rumors. Just continue implementing the national cultivation plan with peace of mind.”

Old Hua hesitated, but before he could speak, Wang Jiang’s phone rang.

With Old Hua and Chu Yi’s permission, Wang Jiang answered the call.

A man’s anxious voice came from the other end of the line, “It’s bad! Our country’s official website is about to be overwhelmed by people from other countries! Although we’re deleting comments, they’re posting too quickly!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Jiang didn’t seem too surprised and calmly replied, “I understand,” before hanging up.

After hanging up, Wang Jiang looked at Old Hua and said, “As you expected, the Free Nation is trying to use public opinion to force us to hand over the national cultivation plan!”
