“At that time, they will definitely be obstructed.

“Our mechanical limb modification project is essentially competing with the military supplies department for business. You know what this means, so we have to speed up.

“Do you understand?”

Wei Yanping immediately bowed his head. “Understood, my lord. I will first secretly set up the mechanical limb modification shop in the 17 mercenary markets in Norse City. The personnel and training workshop will be ready. Then, I will push the agreement to the school committee for voting.

“The entire process will not take more than three days.

“Even if the military supplies department has objections, they will at most cause trouble in the dark. Everyone will make money with their own abilities.”

Ning Shi said, “Very good. Try your best to befriend Morris. Now that Liang Wenli has fallen, the Norse Republic Academy has lost its greatest reliance. In the eyes of outsiders, the academy is now completely weak.

“The administrative department should be able to regain balance and rope in the academy’s power to balance the military supplies department.

“You can give Morris some hints that the academy is willing to listen to Morris and the administrative department’s instructions, and use Morris’s strength to resist the difficulties of the military supplies department.”

The academy relied on the financial allocation of the administrative department and the weapons support of the military supplies department. It only relied on education and training to accumulate a huge network and influence, which made it one of the three forces within the Norse Republic.

This time, Liang Wenli’s scandal had been exposed and she had completely retired. This was a huge blow to the prestige of the academy.

Wei Yanping was also the new principal who had just taken office. His qualifications and prestige were not enough, so relying on Morris was the best choice.

Ning Shi knew that Morris definitely did not want the academy to be completely financially independent. He hoped that the academy would remain weak and rely on the administrative department.

This would depend on Wei Yanping’s ability to adapt to the situation. Ning Shi could not help him do everything. As an ambitious political figure, Wei Yanping had to learn to balance the various forces.

After the cooperation was finalized, Tong Baiming relaxed a lot. He smiled and said, “Mr. Ning Shi, I told you before that I would give you a surprise. I don’t know if you still remember.”

When Tong Baiming mentioned surprise, he glanced at Wei Yanping intentionally or unintentionally. Ning Shi immediately understood and said to Wei Yanping, “Principal Wei, you can excuse yourself. I still have some personal matters to discuss with Mr. Tong.”

Wei Yanping immediately cupped his hands and left.

“Ning Shi, have you heard of the Celestial Sect?” Tong Baiming asked.

Ning Shi’s expression changed. He replied, “I’ve never heard of it. From the name, could it be related to traditional fighters?”

Tong Baiming laughed and said in a clear voice, “Master Li Yidao didn’t tell you this. It seems that he has completely withdrawn from the traditional fighters’ world.

“You guessed right. The Celestial Sect is a traditional fighter organization. They only have one purpose in their establishment, which is to nurture traditional fighters who can break through the boundaries of the Great Grandmaster Realm and reach the Celestial Realm.

“It’s a long story. There’s a limit to the development of traditional fighters. At most…”

Tong Baiming saw that Ning Shi did not know about the Celestial Sect and thought that he did not know about the ceiling of traditional fighters. He was about to explain when Ning Shi waved his hand and interrupted him.

“Mr. Tong, I know about the bottleneck of traditional fighters. You don’t have to explain. Just tell me about the so-called surprise.”

Tong Baiming had dealt with Ning Shi many times and knew Ning Shi’s straightforward style. He didn’t get angry when he was interrupted. Instead, he said with a smile.

“The Celestial Sect’s selection for the leader of the organization, which is held once every five years, will begin in a weeks time. The location will be New Star City. I can see that you’re able to decompose the meat essence of high-level radioactive creatures. Your strength must have reached the Master Realm at the very least, and you’re qualified to participate in the selection.

“As an elder of the Celestial Sect, I have a recommendation spot for the person in charge. I’ll give this spot to you. I wonder if you’re interested?’

‘What’s the organizational structure of the Celestial Sect?’ Ning Shi thought for a moment and asked. ‘What’s the benefit of being the person in charge? What responsibilities do you have to bear?”

Tong Baiming introduced, “The Celestial Sect is an alliance organization that is respected by the traditional fighters on the origin planet. On the origin planet, all the traditional fighters with status have joined the Celestial Sect. This includes the One Blade Butcher. Although there are few of you, you are still part of the Celestial Sect.

“The Celestial Sect had two most powerful departments. One is the Sect

Alliance. The Sect Alliance has the right to let all the sects that join the Celestial Sect do things. The subordinate forces or sects cannot refuse.

“The other is the Hermit Pavilion. The Hermit Pavilion gathers the big shots of various sects who have retired from the martial world. Only those who have become Grandmasters and announced their withdrawal from sect disputes can

join the Hermit Pavilion.

“Once one became the person in charge of the Celestial Sect, they would be the leader of the Sect Alliance. As long as they used the right methods, it would be equivalent to controlling the power of all the traditional fighter gangs on the origin planet.

“At the same time, the person in charge has three chances to ask the big shots of the Hermit Pavilion to come out and help solve the problem.”

“Only three chances?” Ning Shi frowned and asked. “Can’t the person in charge directly lead the Hermit Pavilion?”

Tong Baiming shook his head with a smile and sighed, “That’s impossible. The

Hermit Pavilion is filled with Grandmaster-level big shots. If they were to be singled out, they would all be big shots who could face beginner mecha head-on.

“These big shots joined the Hermit Pavilion mainly to read the secret manuals and cultivation insights of their predecessors. They can also gather together to exchange their cultivation insights and fight for the opportunity to break through that might not even exist.

“Many of these big shots are over 100 years old. Although traditional fighters have a longer lifespan and can live for about 200 years after breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm, these people cherish their time very much. It’s already very respectful of them to be willing to come out and help three times..”
