Compared to the head of the Star Alliance Wildfire Department, everyone is more familiar with his identity as the owner of the Wildfire Tavern.
Therefore, in terms of addressing him, they've continued their previous habit and call him "Boss".
"Of course, as the head of the Wildfire Department, I will personally participate in this expedition. But Anna and the others have other tasks, so this time it will only be me accompanying you."
Weiss said with a hint of regret on his face.
The Wildfire Department's tasks are busy, or rather, the entire Star Alliance has always lacked manpower.
His Wildfire Team has mostly been operating independently recently.
Each person is responsible for an area, and it's been a long time since they participated in a group mission.
"Alright, everyone quiet down, your final scores have been calculated, and the top three will each receive a bottle of Sun Essence and Hunter Points as a reward."
As he spoke, Weiss read out the names of three people.
They are: Morris Martin, Zlatko Trance, and Ashida Shouichi.
These three performed the best overall in this special training.
It wasn't just about combat skills, but also included much theoretical knowledge, which is how Ashida Shouichi managed to squeeze into the top three.
Looking at the time on his watch, it's now four in the afternoon, and in less than two hours, it will be dark.
"Since the training has ended, go relax, you have one day to rest properly, during which you are not allowed to leave the island, and anyway, you can't get out..."
"Hmm... don't go to places you're not supposed to go, I believe the guys from the Light Blue Department would have told you about the Star Alliance's rules..."
He paused suddenly, as if sensing something, looked up at the sky, and couldn't take his eyes off it.
"Who is that?"
Others also saw the scene in the sky and instinctively asked.
They saw a figure in a dark purple-black robe standing in mid-air, seemingly holding something in his hand.
Although it wasn't the first time they'd seen someone flying, whenever an Awakener from the Star Alliance flew overhead, everyone couldn't help but quietly watch.
Everyone longed for the ability to soar through the sky.
Originally, they thought, as before, Weiss wouldn't address such seemingly trivial questions.
But to their surprise, he answered earnestly.
"Did you previously ask me who is the strongest person in the entire Star Alliance?"
"Now, he stands before you..."
Upon hearing this, everyone held their breath involuntarily.
"Is... is he the Star Lord...?"
Someone murmured softly.
Even though they have been busy training, with no time for other things,
but over the seven days, they have heard many stories about the Star Lord.
Not to mention, just the giant incident that happened in Huaxia a few months ago had already left them shocked.
A thousand-meter tall giant that even an Angel couldn't manage, yet it was subdued by a mysterious individual with just one move.
This matter was no secret and had already spread across the world via the internet.
But everyone thought that the one who took down the giant might be the Sect Leader or an elder of the Immortal Mountain Tianyuan Sect.
It wasn't until Morris and the others came to Rebirth Island that they learned that the mysterious person who easily dealt with the giant was actually the Star Lord of the Star Alliance.
For days, they had only heard of his name but never seen him in person.
Now they finally had the chance, and even though separated by a hundred meters, it was enough to excite them.
Not only this group of Bounty Hunters, but all the members of the main base were also focusing their gaze on the figure in mid-air.
Even for those who had lived on the island for a long time, opportunities to see the Star Lord within the base were scarce.
"Star Lord, everything has been arranged, all the layouts have been prepared according to your instructions. To prevent accidents, I've also had all personnel temporarily evacuate from the underground, just waiting for your side."
On the ground, Inspector Su Changqing communicated with Zhang Xiaoman in the sky via sound transmission.
The latter nodded slightly at the words, then used the Qi Observation Technique to survey the layout below once more, and only after confirming it did he prepare to take action.
What he was about to do was very important, leaving no room for error.
If successful, it could lead to an unprecedented transformation of the Star Alliance's headquarters and all of Rebirth Island.
Yes, he was about to inject a Spirit Vein into the island.
A little over a month ago, Zhang Xiaoman obtained an incredibly precious Spiritual Origin from Ni Yang at the Tianyuan Sect on the Divine Ancient Continent.
According to the books, with a Spiritual Origin, one can inject it into the earth, thereby creating a Spirit Vein below the region.
The benefits of a Spirit Vein needn't be elaborated; this could be seen from the environment of Tianyuan Mountain.
Not only does human cultivation speed significantly increase, but the flora and fauna grow more robustly than elsewhere.
Furthermore, many demons and beasts were born because of it, showcasing its immense influence on living things.
Thus, Zhang Xiaoman decided without hesitation that he must inject the Spiritual Origin beneath the organization.
This way, members of the organization could enjoy the cultivation benefits of a Spirit Vein without needing to visit the Divine Ancient Star.
However, injecting the Spiritual Origin wasn't as simple as he first thought.
Although mentioned in the Tianyuan Sect's ancient texts, they were but scraps.
Because Spirit Veins are naturally nurtured by the world, cultivating one artificially is extremely difficult and rare.
Spiritual Origins were treasured even during the peak of Cultivation.
So, nurturing a Spirit Vein isn't as simple as burying the Spiritual Origin in the ground; several other steps are necessary.
Fortunately, Zhang Xiaoman had Ni Yang, who could directly create Spiritual Origins, to assist him.
With its help, he managed to prepare everything required before burying the Spirit Vein.
According to Ni Yang, to nurture a good Spirit Vein with a Spiritual Origin, the terrain must be adjusted first.
Every mountain and river, their layout and form are significant.
As Pei Laoliu put it, it's about one thing—'feng shui'.
For this, Zhang Xiaoman spent several days.
Under Ni Yang's guidance, he adjusted the terrain around the organization as best as he could to better suit the Spiritual Origin.
During this process, Divine Skills like Moving Mountains and Filling Seas were absolutely crucial.
However, even with his current strength, completing this project was challenging.
Luckily, with Su Changqing the Inspector sharing the burden, he saved some time.
As for other preparations, they were indispensable, such as the timing, position, and Five Elements associated with the Spiritual Origin.
But these were much simpler compared to the grand task of Moving Mountains and Filling Seas.
Now, everything was ready, just waiting for him to inject the Spiritual Origin underground.
It wouldn't take long before a new Spirit Vein sprouts here.
Soaring suddenly higher, Zhang Xiaoman flew into the sky over three thousand meters.
Here, his Field of View was broader, which aided his subsequent plans.
"Boy, it's time, quickly use the Magic Door I taught you to inject the Spiritual Origin!"
In his Divine Thought, the voice of the Green Little Dragon came through.
Golden Light flickered in Zhang Xiaoman's eyes as he concentrated completely, activating the surrounding Dark Energy, then injected it into the tiny water ball in his hand.
Inside the water ball, a stream glowed with bits of Golden Light, vividly alive, like a swimming dragon.
"Go!"
Raising his hand, Zhang Xiaoman released it, and the water ball shattered in mid-air, releasing the little golden dragon from within.
