"But the Dragon Whale Clan in the Zhenhai region has been stirring up trouble frequently lately, and their offensives have been far fiercer than in previous years.
The elite military forces stationed at the Zhenhai Defense Line are under immense pressure and have already redeployed considerable manpower from coastal defense zones as reinforcements.
However, according to the latest battle reports, there is still a substantial shortage of Fourth-Rank Martial Artists at the core level."
He paused and looked at another mentor responsible for liaising with the military. "Has the military sent us another request for reinforcements?"
The mentor immediately nodded, his expression grave. "Yes, Dean. The military has requested that Magic Capital Martial University dispatch another group of students or mentors at the Fourth-Rank realm with relatively extensive combat experience to the Zhenhai Defense Line for rotational duty and live-combat training, to make up for the shortage of mid-level combat strength at the front lines."
As soon as those words were spoken, the mentors in the conference room began murmuring among themselves.
"Fourth-Rank Martial Artists... At this point, we really don't have many Fourth-Rank students still enrolled."
A senior mentor frowned.
"That's right. This year's graduation season has just ended, and a large number of outstanding Fourth-Rank graduates have left the school. Some joined the military, the Martial Arts Association, or major organizations, while others continued their studies.
The Fourth-Rank students remaining at the school are either exceptional fourth-years who only recently broke through, or top-tier prodigies in their third year. Their numbers are limited."
Another mentor added.
As a top-tier institution, Magic Capital Martial University naturally had students of exceptional quality.
Those with extraordinary talent could generally reach Fifth Rank by the time they graduated.
Even at Demon Capital University, Fourth-Rank Martial Artists were already considered outstanding graduates.
