"Take it easy!"
Ning Chuan out of his mech, pressed his hands together, and laughed, "The rewards for the finals have been distributed: 3500 victory points. Now, let's begin the allocation."
After a moment of contemplation, Ning Chuan said, " Xu Shanyi will take 1200 victory points, while Zhao Xiujia, Li Xiang, and Xu Bo will each take 400 victory points."
"This..."
The four of them were taken aback upon hearing this.
It's not that I think it's too little.
On the contrary, I felt it was too much.
The Divine Weapon Squad's total victory points in the Mech Debate are still a bit short of 10,000.
Based on the previous allocation ratio, the total points they receive will not exceed 2000.
"Take it, don't be polite with me."
Ning Chuan said with a faint smile.
He has a cold personality, but he is not heartless; he clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment.
Xu Shanyi and the others were willing to let him use his winning points, which helped him a great deal.
"Thank you, Colonel Ning!"
"Hehe, this can be exchanged for four Sea Dragon Blood. Many five-star and six-star high-level mech pilots don't even have this much to show for it!"
Just then, the roar of engines filled the air, and several SUVs sped over.
The car door opened, and soldiers stepped out.
Bai Xiuxiu was among them, her figure graceful, leading the way towards Ning Chuan.
Ning Chuan glanced at her and smiled, "Come over here and announce that I'm the best player?"
He single-handedly led his team to victory in the mech battle.
No one performed better than him.
Unless there was something fishy going on in the selection committee.
Otherwise, he would undoubtedly be the best player.
"That's quite confident!"
Bai Xiuxiu raised her delicate eyebrows and smiled, "However, you're right, the best player is indeed you. It was decided two days ago."
After a pause, Bai Xiuxiu said, "This isn't urgent, you should get promoted first."
She turned to the side.
"Um?"
Ning Chuan was somewhat confused.
"Greetings, Colonel Ning Chuan!"
Several officers stepped forward, their feet firmly planted on the ground, their bodies tense, and gave a standard military salute.
The leader produced a certificate, his expression solemn, and said in a deep voice, "Colonel Ning Chuan, because of your outstanding contributions to martial arts, the Federation Central Military Commission, after deliberation, unanimously agrees to promote you one rank and confer upon you the title of Major General!"
Ning Chuan's eyes flickered.
General-level officers, who are already at the top of the military, have always been the most difficult to promote.
It's not uncommon for the Knight to be blocked by Garnett for decades.
Even a nominal title carries enormous power.
It's no exaggeration to say that a single order could seal off a large city.
Ning Chuan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Have I made any contributions?"
Of course!
Luo Qin spoke first, her face beaming with smiles, saying, "Breaking the Federation's record for combat strength is a milestone in martial arts!"
"This matter has spread throughout the entire Federation, and it's the top trending topic in every administrative region!"
Luo Qin smiled brightly, "The phone in the 27th Group Army's reception room hasn't stopped ringing for three days straight; it's all reporters wanting to interview you!"
Beside her, Bai Xiuxiu nodded and said, "You're too young, and that's a disadvantage of your age. Otherwise, you might have been promoted two levels in a row!"
"Such a large influence?"
Ning Chuan blinked.
He hadn't expected this.
Afterwards, Ning Chuan composed himself and completed the conferment ceremony.
The process was quite simple.
Salute, take the oath, and change to the major general's shoulder insignia.
Ning Chuan looked at Bai Xiuxiu and asked, "When can I bathe in the Dragon Blood Hot Spring?"
He values practicality more than reputation.
"No rush, let's go in a few days."
Bai Xiuxiu said this, and then explained the reason to Ning Chuan.
Dragon Blood Hot Spring is located in a volcanic crater. The magma below contains the remains of the Dragon King, which continuously generates dragon blood factors.
The longer the time, the more dragon blood factors accumulate in the hot spring.
It provides a better bathing experience.
"It'd better hurry."
At this moment, a bald, burly man stepped forward, glanced at Ning Chuan, and grinned, saying, "The deadline for testing the Sky Mecha is August 25th. If it's over by then, it will be considered a forfeit!"
Bai Xiuxiu snorted coldly and scolded, " Mu Kai, you're a colonel, how can you treat a major general like this!"
"Excuse me, greetings, Major General Ning!"
Mu Kai immediately saluted.
However, a smile still lingered on his face.
Lowering his arm, Mu Kai said, "Major General Ning, let me say one more thing."
To pilot Sky Mecha, one's martial arts power must reach at least 70%!
If you feel you're not quite there yet, I don't recommend you go to the 53rd Group Army for testing. It's unlikely you'll succeed; you'll just be wasting your time!
Ning Chuan's gaze was indifferent as he said, "My affairs are none of anyone else's business."
"It's just a suggestion, don't get so worked up."
Mu Kai shrugged, smiled, and left.
Ning Chuan turned to look at Bai Xiuxiu and asked, "Does he have a conflict with you?"
"No."
Bai Xiuxiu shook her head, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's mainly a contest between the two army groups, but personally, they don't really see eye to eye with each other."
"Coincidentally, your military rank is with the 27th Group Army."
"It doesn't matter, as long as they don't cheat."
The group walked and chatted as they returned to the competition venue.
After the awards ceremony, the teams and spectators left one after another.
Several days passed quickly.
August 20th.
Ning Chuan, Bai Xiuxiu, and Luo Qin boarded a transport helicopter and headed to Dragon Blood Hot Spring.
It is located in Fallen Dragon Mountain.
An active volcano.
It is also the seventh highest peak in the Ten Thousand Li of Green Mountains, at 45,000 meters, piercing straight into the clouds!
From a distance, Fallen Dragon Mountain appears to be composed of three distinct colors.
Green, white, and black.
The foot of the mountain is lush and green, with trees flourishing in the height of summer.
The mountainside was covered in snow.
At the summit, the temperature is extremely high due to the lava, causing the ice and snow to melt and revealing black rocks.
The entire Fallen Dragon Mountain is a military restricted area with tight security.
After all, there is a perfectly preserved skeleton of a dragon king inside the mountain.
"Arrive!"
After passing through layers of security checks, Ning Chuan and his two companions arrived at the mountaintop and saw the Dragon Blood Hot Spring in the crater.
It's more accurate to call it boiling water than a hot spring.
The spring water was all at boiling point, bubbling and gurgling.
It's not surprising that Ning Chuan knew there was magma beneath the hot spring.
Bai Xiuxiu tapped on a tablet, glanced at it, and laughed, "You're lucky! No one has bathed in Dragon Blood Hot Spring for 109 days!"
As she spoke, she added, "Under normal circumstances, the Dragon Blood Hot Spring can only accumulate enough for one person to bathe in for one day in a month."
Then, the human body will have difficulty absorbing the dragon's blood factor because the concentration is too low.
Ning Chuan frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Although his Vajra Body is highly efficient at absorbing dragon blood factors, if the total amount is limited, he cannot obtain more.
"Of course, the low concentration here only applies to the average person."
Bai Xiuxiu pondered for a moment and said, "Dragon-like physiques are sensitive to dragon blood factors, and can absorb them even at low concentrations."
The military had conducted tests before.
A typical dragon can absorb the equivalent of three or four days' worth of dragon blood factors in one day!
Bai Xiuxiu then informed Ning Chuan.
The entire Dragon Blood Hot Spring covers an area of over a thousand meters, and the total amount of dragon blood factors within it is actually quite large.
However, due to concentration limitations, ordinary people can only absorb one percent before they can no longer continue.
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan's eyes lit up.
Luo Qin stood on the shore and laughed, "You are the first Dragon King Physique to bathe in the Dragon Blood Hot Spring. It's a good opportunity to help the military calculate just how strong the Dragon King Physique's absorption capacity is."
