Time slipped by, the years passing in the blink of an eye.
More than a year had gone by before anyone knew it.
A few years might have been an insignificant number to Sea-Guard Pass, which had guarded the Eastern Sea for centuries.
But for the newly advanced Starfire Realm experts who had come to serve, it was a magnificent new journey, full of surging waves.
Nearly two years of their three-year compulsory service had already passed.
Everyone had made tremendous progress.
People came and went within Sea-Guard Pass.
Veterans left after completing their three years of service, while new Starfire Realm experts were sent over. The stream never ceased, and the legacy continued unbroken.
That day, another batch of recruits arrived at Sea-Guard Pass. Led by the recruitment office's supervisor, they obediently lined up and waited to be assigned to squads.
"Hm?"
Upon seeing the centurions waiting there, the recruitment supervisor suddenly gave a soft exclamation, his gaze settling on a somewhat familiar young figure among them.
"To think you've already been promoted to centurion in less than two years!"
He sounded surprised and rather impressed.
Among the five centurions who had come to receive recruits, one stood out in particular. Not only was his face exceptionally handsome, but his bearing was also transcendent. His tall frame stood straight as a sword, and even a casual glance seemed to contain countless streams of Sword Qi, sharp beyond resistance.
Who else could it have been but Lin Yuan?
Lin Yuan smiled faintly.
"Brother Zhuge, long time no see."
This was none other than the Lord Zhuge who had escorted Lin Yuan and the others to Sea-Guard Pass.
Two years earlier, Lin Yuan had arrived here under his guidance as a recruit squad leader, waiting to be selected by the centurions.
