The Commissioning Ceremony
"No need to rush. Just head to the Military Training Office to get the stamps by noon tomorrow. I can wait for you," she said. Ji Lingxuan replied, "No need. We only have a little bit of our task left in Cloud River Province. If we go to the Military Training Ground an hour early tomorrow, the eight of us at the Qi Blood-Qi Extreme Realm can probably finish the rest of the task in less than an hour."
Shen Miaowei nodded in agreement, "That's right, Mr. Chen Lie. Twenty-eight Exotic Beast. We currently have eight people at the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm, divided into four groups. If each person hunts an average of seven, that's enough. Just tell us the time, and we'll definitely be there before you set off."
"Then let's meet at the Drill Ground outside the Shelter at nine o'clock tomorrow," Chen Liedao.
"Okay, we'll definitely be on time," Ji Lingxuan said.
Chen Lie asked, "I remember the Three Provinces of Chuanzhong signed an agreement to support each other. Now that our two provinces have completed their tasks, what about West River Province?"
Ji Lingxuan said, "Yesterday I saw that our Cloud River Province mission was about to be completed, so I sent Han Yiran and Zhao Yuan, two Blood-Qi Extreme Realm from our province, to help West River Province."
It seems that one of your classmates from East River Province also went to help West River Province.
Two students who returned yesterday said that West River Province has successfully hunted 280 Exotic Beast. There are only 350 people participating in this military training, so they only need to hunt 70 more Exotic Beast to complete the training mission.
It's only been six days. Even without the help of our two provinces' Special Enrollment Student, West River Province will definitely be able to complete the military training mission.
"Okay, let's say that then!" Chen Lie nodded.
After leaving the Shelter, Chen Lie had all the Special Enrollment Student from East River Province go to the Shelter's canteen for a meal, thus consuming all their Military Merit merit points.
When I returned to the Dormitory Building, the Shelter's loudspeaker blared.
"Hello to all the Special Enrollment Student from provinces around the world."
News is breaking: Tier 7 Exotic Beast suddenly broke in, resulting in casualties among 353 Special Enrollment Student. The detailed list of casualties will be released later.
Upon hearing the broadcast, Chen Lie gathered the thirty members of the Genius Group together, randomly pointed at one of them, and instructed, "Take a few people and go do a survey to see if there are any casualties in East River Province, and if so, how many."
"Yes!"
The Genius Group member pointed to by Chen Lie was Xu Yuanhao. After a moment of stunned silence, Xu Yuanhao immediately responded and led more than a dozen Genius Group members to conduct the statistics.
Looking at Chen Lie surrounded by many members of the Genius Group, Lu Qingchan couldn't help but sigh.
Chen Lie has changed so much; he's completely different from before.
Xu Yuanhao is her cousin, and she has always greatly admired his talent in martial arts. However, Chen Lie is now powerful enough to command her cousin, Chaoqun martial arts aptitude.
Lu Qingchan felt that Chen Lie was getting further and further away from her. She hadn't felt it much when they were in East River Province, but during military training, this feeling became particularly obvious.
Not long after, Xu Yuanhao returned with the members of the Genius Group and reported the statistical results to Chen Lie.
"Captain Chen, the statistics are in. In this attack by the Tier 7 Exotic Beast, three Special Enrollment Student from East River Province were injured or killed. They were all students from the Genius Training Camp: Wang Liming, Zhao Hu, and Li Yanan."
Upon hearing this, Luo Zhixun shook her head and sighed, "What a pity. If it weren't for this attack by the Tier 7 Exotic Beast, we would definitely have gotten through military training with zero casualties."
"It's a real pity, but a surprise attack by Tier 7 Exotic Beast is something no one could have predicted," Tang Jiu'er chimed in.
Chen Liedao, "Notify everyone that we should all gather in front of the Dormitory Building at 8:30 tomorrow morning, and bring your Blue Star University Special Enrollment Letter."
After saying that, Chen Lie went back to his Dormitory to rest.
The following day, more than 300 students admitted through Special Enrollment Student from East River Province gathered downstairs at the Dormitory Building. Led by Chen Lie, they left the Shelter and headed to the Drill Ground outside the Second Military Training Zone.
Drill Ground the Drill Ground, about a thousand Special Enrollment Student from Yunchuan Province stood in a neat row.
Upon seeing Chen Lie, Ji Lingxuan, who was leading the group, immediately stepped forward and said, "Chen Lie, classmate."
"Have you completed your military training?" Chen Lie asked.
"Yes, we entered the Military Training Ground to hunt Exotic Beast at six o'clock today, and finished the training mission before eight o'clock," Ji Lingxuan said.
"Okay, let's go to the Military Training Office to get it stamped."
Chen Lie spoke, he left the Drill Ground and went to the Military Training Office, following the directions on the front-line map.
The Military Training Office is a temporary office formed by the Blue Star University Academic Affairs Office and the Northwest Frontline Army, as well as the Blue Star Martial Artist Association Headquarters. It is specifically responsible for the military training of Blue Star University's Special Enrollment Student.
The Military Training Office was bustling with people. The ten-day period for Special Enrollment Student from the top twenty provinces of Blue Star Blue Star ended, and many of them were here to get their Special Enrollment Student stamped.
As soon as Chen Lie arrived at the square, he and Ji Lingxuan went to the consultation room of the Military Training Office Military Training Office, where they were questioned by the staff.
Which province are you from?
"From East River Province and Yunchuan Province!"
The staff member grunted and, operating the Optical Computer, said, "I'll check the province information—"
After a while, the staff member said, "The military training tasks of East River Province and Yunchuan Province have indeed been completed, but you have only completed seven days of military training. The ten-day period has not been completed, so you cannot come to get your documents stamped."
Didn't your province's Martial Artist Association inform you before you came?
Chen Lie dialed Liu Donghai's number and had Liu Donghai speak directly with the staff member.
The staff member who received the Communicator from Chen Lie initially didn't think much of it, but after hearing the voice from the Communicator, his expression immediately became solemn.
After exchanging a few words, the staff member returned the Communicator to Chen Lie and asked, "Do you know Commander Liu Donghai?"
"We have some acquaintance." Chen Lie nodded.
The staff member didn't say anything more, but directly gave Chen Lie a note, saying, "Collect all the Special Enrollment Student Special Enrollment Letter from your province and give them to me. I will handle it for you."
Ji Lingxuan, who was standing next to me, asked, "I see everyone else is queuing, don't we have to queue?"
"You don't need to," the staff member said.
Ji Lingxuan gave Chen Lie a deep look. How could Chen Lie have such connections within the Northwest Army?
You should know that many Blue Star through Special Enrollment Student from the top twenty provinces on Earth are already lining up outside.
After leaving the consultation room, Chen Lie said to Ji Lingxuan, "Collect all the Special Enrollment Letter from Cloud River Province."
"Um!"
Ji Lingxuan nodded and went to the special admissions office in Yunchuan to collect her special admission letter.
Soon, Chen Lie collected all the Special Enrollment Letter from East River Province.
Holding the Special Enrollment Letter from East River Province and Cloud River Province provinces, Chen Lie went back into the consultation room, found the staff member inside, and handed him the Special Enrollment Letter.
The staff member said, "The stamping process will take an hour. Come back here in an hour and a half to pick up your Special Enrollment Letter."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lie nodded and went outside.
He received a message as soon as he stepped out of the consultation room.
He picked it up and saw that it was from an official communication number, so he answered immediately.
A voice came through the Communicator.
"Is this Chen Lie?"
"I am Chen Lie!"
"Hello Chen Lie, I am the Director of the Admissions Office of Blue Star University. The Superbrain has detected that you have 1206 personal Military Merit merit points for hunting Exotic Beast, ranking seventh on the Special Enrollment Student Personal Points Ranking Board, and have been awarded the title of Northwest General Star."
Please arrive at the Central Military Camp before 11:00 AM today to attend the Northwest General Star Award Ceremony and register your personal information for the purpose of receiving your Northwest General Star Award.
"The Central Military Camp, is that right? Okay, I understand!"
After hanging up the call, Chen Lie glanced at the time and realized it was not yet ten o'clock.
Ji Lingxuan, standing beside Chen Lie, glanced at him in surprise and said, "Chen Lie, you've won the Northwest General Star title?"
The Northwest General Star are almost all the Martial Leader from the top ten provinces of Blue Star, and they can only achieve this with the assistance of powerful Genius Group from each province. Provinces like theirs with weak overall strength can forget about it.
Even if one's own strength is sufficient, without a supportive partner of sufficient strength, one cannot seize the Northwest General Star.
"Yes, there just happens to be a method to subdue Exotic Beast," Chen Liedao.
"Oh."
Ji Lingxuan nodded, seemingly lost in thought.
When Chen Lie returned to the team in East River Province, he told Luo Zhixun, Wang Dongting, and other top members of the Genius Group about what had happened, and they were immediately shocked.
"Chen Lie, have you really succeeded in winning the Northwest General Star?"
Luo Zhixun couldn't help but ask.
She had thought Chen Lie was just joking when he said he would seize the Northwest General Star, but she never expected that he would actually succeed.
This honor is reserved for the top twenty provinces on Blue Star; how could it ever be bestowed upon East River Province, a province ranked near the bottom of the Blue Star?
"Of course, I'm going to the Northwest Army's Central Military Camp camp to register my information now. In an hour and a half, you can go directly to the consultation room to pick up your Special Enrollment Letter."
"Are you going alone?" Luo Zhixun asked.
"Can more people go?"
Luo Zhixun said, "To win Individual General Star, one must be accompanied by people from the same province, but generally no more than ten people."
I heard about the Northwest General Star Conferment Ceremony from others when I was at Blue Star University with my father.
Going alone is definitely not suitable, because it's impossible to seize the Northwest General Star by oneself; at least two assistants should be brought along.
As she spoke, Luo Zhixun suddenly realized that Chen Lie seemed to always act alone, probably without anyone to assist him in hunting the Exotic Beast, and added, "Anyway, going alone would indeed attract some attention."
"In that case, you'll come with me." Chen Lie looked at Luo Zhixun.
"I?"
Luo Zhixun pointed to herself.
"Hmm, let's pick one more person, then the three of us can go together," Chen Liedao.
"Alright then, I'll bring the wine too, the three of us can go together."
"Then, after Wang Dongting and the others receive their Special Enrollment Letter, they can go directly to the Drill Ground and meet us, okay?"
"Okay!" Chen Lie nodded.
Soon after, Luo Zhixun made arrangements for the others, then called Tang Jiu'er, and together they went to the Central Military Camp.
The Central Military Camp was located behind the Military Training Office and was the place where the front-line generals of the Northwest Army usually held meetings.
Inside the Base Camp, six teenagers gathered on a high platform. Behind them were signs with their names written on them: Shao Keyu, Yan Zheng, Yan Zheng, Xu Zhou Yang, Xu Wanqing Zheng Zhongming, and Wang Tian'en.
The last space is an empty space with the words "Chen Lie" written on it.
The six individuals, who had been awarded the title of Northwest General Star Blue Star, were surrounded by Special Enrollment Student from the top twenty provinces of Earth.
"Yan Zheng, Shao Keyu, does either of you know this Chen Lie?"
Zheng Zhongming of the six, asked.
Yan Zheng and Shao Keyu both shook their heads. "We don't know him."
"Could it be someone from the provinces of Lanjing, Jingji, or Longhai?" Zheng Zhongming wondered.
"No, I just heard from Director Wu of Blue Star University that this Chen Lie is from East River Province." Yan Zheng shook his head.
East River Province?
Is this province among the top twenty provinces on Blue Star?
Among the crowd below the stage, a pretty young girl secretly clenched her fist.
Why hasn't Chen Lie shown up yet?
Could it be that he knew in advance that I was going to settle scores with him?
This beautiful young woman is none other than Han Keke, the Martial Leader of Nanjiang Province.
"That makes sense. Sneaking into someone's base on the last day—such opportunistic people are naturally very guilty; they can easily guess they've offended someone."
Han Keke calmed herself down and waited quietly.
Just then, the only girl among the seven Northwest General Star stepped down from the stage.
She approached Han Keke and said with a hint of mockery, "Oh? Isn't this Han Keke, the Martial Leader of Nanjiang Province, the famous martial arts genius ranked on the Blue Star Blood-Qi Realm martial Martial Artist list?"
What's going on? How come we can't even capture a mere Northwest General Star?
Han Keke took a deep breath and said calmly, "Xu Wanqing, please get lost."
I'm in a bad mood right now, I don't have time to waste with you!
Xu Wanqing chuckled and said, "Han Keke, you're really something. The top three provinces on Blue Star all skipped this military training, and you, the Martial Leader of the seventh province on Blue Star, actually managed to mess up at this stage. You're such a waste!"
"I'm warning you Xu Wanqing, don't force me to take action."
Xu Wanqing sneered, "Come on if you dare. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Han Keke was instantly enraged and wanted to make a move, but was stopped by the Special Enrollment Student from Nanjiang Province.
Upon seeing this, Xu Wanqing scoffed and returned to the stage.
Just then, Chen Lie walked into the Base Camp and immediately saw the seven positions in the middle of the Base Camp.
"You two wait here for me!"
After saying a few words to Luo Zhixun and Tang Jiu'er, Chen Lie quickly walked up to the stage in the middle and went to the seats with his name on them.
"That's Chen Lie? One of the seven Northwest General Star?"
"Which province is this Chen Lie from? I've never seen him before."
"I searched online, and it seems to be the Martial Leader of East River Province?"
East River Province? The province in Chuanzhong with the lowest ranking on the Blue Star chart?
That's strange. When did a province that ranks near the bottom of the Blue Star become a contender for the Northwest General Star?
"Shouldn't it be difficult for people in provinces like this to even get through military training?"
Chen Lie walked onto the stage, and the other six people on stage glanced at him before quickly looking away.
Below the stage, Han Keke narrowed her eyes, staring intently at Chen Lie.
This is the person who, on the last day of military training, pushed himself down the rankings, causing himself to miss out on 100,000 Star-Origin Galactic Coins?
