The Strongest War God

46 Out From His Hands

Later on, some people said that it was because of the changes in the world.

Then, during the Qing Dynasty, martial arts practitioners retired completely and the inheritance of ancient martial arts declined to the lowest point.

In the modern era, ordinary people did not even know what a martial arts practitioner was. They even forgot about their ancestors. In the Xia and Shang dynasties, martial arts were the foundation of the country.

The rapid development of the industrial age caused a shocking amount of damage to the environment.

However, things such as spiritual herbs could not tolerate any pollution and needed to grow in places with the natural spirits of the world, so they were difficult to be found in modern times.

They were almost extinct!

Even a century old medicine became hard to find.

Zachariah said tentatively, “I’ll give you one spiritual stone every month if you become a dean at preston University. Is there a deal?”

“Do you have a lot of spiritual stones?” Braydon looked.

But Zachariah said, “I only have one but don’t worry, I can find you another one from other places!”

“Other places?”

Braydon caught the key point.

Zachariah felt a little guilty. He knew that the young man in front of him was not an ordinary person.

However, the information he revealed really attracted Braydon’s attention.

A spiritual stone like this could be used to cure all diseases if it was absorbed using a cultivation technique and used on an ordinary person!

This was not nonsense.

First of all, one need to understand that spiritual energy nourishes all living things, causing them to produce spirituality.

Most people were slow-witted in places with poor ecosystem and barren mountains.

In places with rich spiritual energy, you would find that the children born there were smart and very pleasant.

Spiritual energy could nourish the human body.

If one had cancer at the advanced stage, he only needed to guide the spiritual energy from this spiritual stone into his body and the spiritual energy would be able to repair his body and wipe out all the cancer cells in an instant.

This was a spiritual stone that could heal wounds and cure diseases!

Naturally, spirit herbs were even more precious.

These were all secrets that ancient martial art practitioners did not disclose. If word of this were to spread, the rich and powerful among the ordinary people would go crazy looking for these things.

Spiritual stones and spiritual herbs were hard to find all over the world.

If the rich joined in the fight, it would be of no benefit to all the ancient martial arts practitioners.

That was why no one said anything to the outside world and it would be their own fortune if ordinary people could come into contact with it.

Those who had not come into contact with them simply did not have enough opportunities!

Sometimes, martial arts practitioners also paid attention to leaving things to fate.

Braydon set out his condition. “Three spiritual stones every month and I will agree to it!”

“It’s settled then!” Zachariah agreed decisively.

This made Braydon laughed. “You really discovered a spiritual stone mine!”

Zachariah sneaked out of the room to find two more spiritual stones for Braydon.

A place that could produce spiritual stones must be a spiritual stone mine.

Braydon did not care about the spiritual stones. What he really cared about was the spiritual stone mine!

However, it was not Braydon’s style to do things by hook or by crook!

The Neal family’s swords would not be stained with the blood of innocent people!

This was an iron-clad rule!

Braydon did not bully the old, the weak, women, and children. This was his bottom line.

Zachariah was eighty years old, and it was his luck that he discovered the spiritual stone mine.

Braydon could not just kill him and force him to hand over the spiritual stone mine just because he wanted it.

The dignified Northern King would never do such a despicable thing.

Zachariah went out for a walk. When he came back, he had six or seven more followers with him. They had silver hair and wore high glasses.

This group of people were all professors at Preston University and they had their own research rooms in Preston University’s research building.

Along the way, Zachariah was beaming with joy and he praising Braydon endlessly.

Everyone entered the office.

The chubby old professor could not help but look at Braydon and asked, “Are you Braydon?”

“He is!” Heather nodded.

“What advice do you have for me?” Braydon asked with his hands behind his back.

“I can’t really say that I’m giving you advice but it’s just that i’m having a headache because Zachariah has been bragging the whole time!” The square-faced professor beside him was unhappy.

Zachariah glared at him. “Dawson, you’re really confused! Who said that I was bragging?”

“You were not bragging? Anyone can tell how old this kid is. It would already be questionable if you say that he will turn twenty in two years!” The square-faced professor was named Dawson Lablanc.

If Zachariah had not boasted so much, the professors from all the departments would not have had the time to come here.

The old man in the white suit frowned. “Zachariah, it’s fine if you want to joke around but I’m worried that Braydon would not be able to keep up with the progress of his studies if he entered the university at this age. What’s more, it’s too unbelievable to let him be a dean-level professor!”

...

Dawson rolled his eyes. “Stop bragging in the future and allocate more funds to my laboratory. Let’s go!”

“Let’s go. We’re really unlucky to have been fooled by this damned old man!”

The group of old men had decades of friendship. Although the way they addressed each other seemed out of place, they were all very close to each other.

“Stop right there!” Zachariah glared at them.

“Aren’t you done yet, you damned old man? You’re still so energetic!” The old man in the white suit, John Zahl, retorted.

Zachariah said angrily, “Who’s bragging? Let me tell you, even if all of us were to join forces, we still cannot be comapred to him alone!”

Even Heather rolled her eyes when she heard this.

John frowned. “Are you serious?”

“What do you think?!” Zachariah stared at him with a serious expression in his eyes.

A professor named Lionel White looked at Braydon carefully and found that the young man was calm and indifferent under their gazes.

He nodded approvingly. “You have a good heart and you are a good person. Braydon, would you like to be my student?”

...

“Damn it!”

Zachariah’s body staggered and he almost fainted from anger.

Braydon smiled and asked, “How are you comapred to Kiera and Walter?”

“We can’t compare to them. Their academic papers are all international level. It would already be great if we can publish an influential article in the domestic journal!” Lionel shook his head repeatedly as he did not dare to compare himself to them.

Braydon asked again, “How are you compared to Finstern and Yorker then?”

“Who?” Lionel could not react in time.

“Mr. Finstern and my teacher!” Zachariah said in a low voice.

“Ah, I dare not compare to them. We are all students in front of Mr. Finstern and Mr. Yorker!” Lionel was not being humble but he really respected them.

Braydon had a cold expression. “Finstern and Yorker treat me like their peers when they meet me. Who gave you the confidence to take me as your student?!”

Lionel was dumbfounded.

The other professors were shocked. They did not expect the young man they looked down on to had such a terrifying background.

One should know that Nathan Finstern was a big star in the life science community.

He was well-versed in both Hansworth and Western medicine and enjoyed a great reputation globally. He was even regarded as half a Hansworth medical doctor by Hansworth medicine!

This was a quasi-national medical level!

The Life Research Institute under Mr. Finstern’s direct management had long been classified as a state level secret and was guarded by armed police all year round.

There was also Lincoln Yorker, who had been selected as one of the twenty greatest scientists in the world in the Millennium.

Just this title alone was enough!

There were hundreds of thousands of scientists in the world, but only twenty people were selected, and Mr. Yorker was one of them!

One could see the prestige of these two.

Zachariah coughed lightly. “Mr. Yorker had been acquainted with him for three years and Mr. Finstern had been acquainted with him for five years. Dawson, do you remember the anti-gravity theory published by Mr. Yorker in the global academic journal?”

“Are you kidding me? That journal sold like hotcakes all over the world and caused a global uproar. That academic paper has promoted anti-gravity research ten years forward!”

Dawson took out a newspaper from his arms. The yellowed paper had no wrinkles, and it was well maintained.

The professors around him were used to it. They knew that Dawson carried this academic journal with him all day.

He was the one who focused on gravity studies!

Dawson opened the journal and said with obsession, “Look, i’m afriad that it would be difficult for even God to write this piece of academic theory!”

“No, Zachariah, what does this have to do with Braydon?” John had his own guesses but he was not sure.

It would be too scary if his guess was true.

“This academic paper was written by Braydon!” Zachariah sneered.
