Chapter 245. Assigned to the Divine Battle Division, All the New Recruits Are Green with Envy
The rumors online about Huaxia’s sixth Martial God did not affect Jiang Yichen in the slightest.
He continued enjoying life as usual, training his future wife a little, and his days remained relaxed and pleasant.
The vacation also ended happily, and the day to announce the new recruits’ assignments arrived.
After Jiang Yichen and Su Linyu finished breakfast, they walked unhurriedly to the training field of the New Recruit Training Camp.
As usual, they arrived right on time. By the time they got there, all the new recruits participating in the military district internship had already assembled neatly under the instructors’ command.
“Sigh! Who exactly do you think Huaxia’s sixth Martial God is?”
“Who knows? All the major media outlets are digging into it, but a whole day has passed, and they still haven’t found any useful information. This sixth Martial God is far too mysterious.”
“I think he should be a clan elder from some family. The Jiang Family is the most likely. Look at the resources the Jiang Family gives Young Master Jiang. Only a family like that could possibly nurture another Martial God.”
“...”
As soon as he entered the formation, Jiang Yichen heard everyone in the formation quietly discussing Huaxia’s sixth Martial God.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly. For some reason, he felt an inexplicable secret satisfaction.
“Brother Yichen, did you see the news? Huaxia’s sixth Martial God has been born! Damn! The whole internet is cheering.”
Tang Long leaned over, curiosity mixed in his eyes. “Brother Yichen, which clan elder from your Jiang Family is it?”
Chu Xingchen also looked over. To nurture a Martial God, a family’s foundation had to be incredibly deep.
Yet Jiang Yichen had endless resources, and some of them were things even they had never seen before. This clearly showed how profound the Jiang Family’s foundation was.
Only if a family like that nurtured a second Martial God would it make sense.
Jiang Yichen smiled faintly. “Are you talking about me? Actually, it’s nothing that special.”
“...” The corner of Tang Long’s mouth twitched. “Brother Yichen, stop joking. We’re brothers, aren’t we? Just reveal it to us. Which clan elder from the Jiang Family is it?”
Chu Xingchen also nodded. Although Jiang Yichen had already reached the Eighth-Realm Martial Emperor Realm, and a Martial Emperor in his twenties was indeed shocking, according to the Divine Battle Division’s analysis, Jiang Yichen had only been at the early stage of the Eighth Realm two months ago. It was absolutely impossible for him to reach the Martial God Realm in just two months.
His father, Chu Ningfeng, had spent nearly twenty years breaking through from the peak of the Eighth Realm to the Martial God Realm.
Jiang Yichen’s face twitched. I told them, but they don’t believe me. What else am I supposed to say? I’ll just slack off and let them believe whatever they want.
“I don’t know either. Only my mom knows about the family’s affairs,” he said with a somewhat speechless expression.
But he could understand it. After all, who would believe in a Martial God in his twenties?
Tang Long and Chu Xingchen both looked disappointed. As juniors, they truly wanted to see the bearing of Huaxia’s sixth Martial God.
Su Linyu, on the other hand, was secretly delighted. If Huaxia’s sixth Martial God truly belonged to the Jiang Family, then once she married into it, it would practically be like marrying into a heavenly household.
Jiang Yichen’s family was simply far too powerful.
She smiled sweetly and occasionally stole glances at Brother Yichen beside her.
Jiang Yichen continued listening to their discussion with a helpless expression. But at that moment, the system’s voice rang out.
【Ding! Slacking Choice triggered.】
【Choice One: Faced with everyone’s guesses about Huaxia’s sixth Martial God, you do not intend to hide it and tell everyone the truth. However, everyone shows doubt, so you choose to rack your brains explaining. Reward: “Mr. Explainer.”
Choice Two: You admit that Huaxia’s sixth Martial God is you, but everyone refuses to believe you and doubts it inwardly. You directly slack off and ignore them. Rather than wasting effort explaining, it is better to enjoy yourself. As long as you are happy, that is enough. Reward: “Intermediate Slacking Gift Pack.”】
【Ding! Congratulations, Host, for making a slacking choice. You have obtained “Intermediate Slacking Gift Pack.” Open it?】
Jiang Yichen was stunned. Another free Intermediate Gift Pack. Not bad, not bad.
He would keep it for now. Once he obtained an Advanced Gift Pack, he could open them together. Perhaps he might get a Supreme-grade reward.
There was no fun without gambling. He would save it!
A smile rose at the corners of Jiang Yichen’s mouth, and the helpless look disappeared from his face.
“Silence!”
At that moment, Instructor Huang walked onto the Reviewing Stand and shouted loudly.
The new recruits below immediately stopped whispering to one another. They stood at attention and faced the Reviewing Stand.
Instructor Huang nodded slightly. Ever since Zhou Yu had been arrested, he had taken over the position of Chief Instructor of the New Recruit Training Camp.
“First, congratulations on completing the two-month New Recruit Training. During this period, I witnessed your growth, and I also saw new recruits who truly shocked me.”
“Now, I can change how I address you. With pride and confidence, I can say this: you are the best batch of new recruits I have ever led.”
Instructor Huang’s gaze swept over Jiang Yichen and the others, appreciation appearing on his face.
The new recruits below also cast envious looks at them. Young Master Jiang and the others’ deeds had spread throughout the entire East China Military District.
In normal times, Instructor Huang had often bragged to them that Young Master Jiang had once been a soldier he trained.
Although it sounded a little sour, they had to admit that they had no way to refute it.
Young Master Jiang and the others were simply too dazzling, so dazzling that they could not even open their eyes.
“However.” Instructor Huang changed the direction of his speech. “The New Recruit Training Camp is only your beginning. As for whether you can continue going further in the future, that is no longer something I can control.”
“Next, Commander Xu of our East China Military District will announce your assignment list.”
Instructor Huang slowly stepped back. Xu Lin, dressed neatly, walked onto the Reviewing Stand with a smile and looked at the new recruits below.
The new recruits could not help showing surprise.
After recruit training ended, assigning new recruits to various units was usually handled by the instructors of the New Recruit Training Camp.
For the military district commander to personally announce their assignment list was something that had never happened in any previous batch.
This was simply too prestigious.
On the stage, Xu Lin swept his gaze over the new recruits and nodded in satisfaction. “Congratulations on completing two months of training. Looking at you, I seem to see the future of Huaxia...”
After a round of official remarks, Xu Lin got to the main point.
He picked up the list and said, “Wu Tao, Chen Wei, Zhou Shanghua... You will enter the East China Battle Division and complete a one-and-a-half-year internship.”
Sounds of surprise immediately came from the new recruits. The East China Battle Division was the best unit in all of East China.
Anyone who entered it would at least become a lieutenant after completing the internship.
The new recruits could not help revealing envious looks.
“Chen Dapao, Yue Wenlong... You will enter the Frontline Corpse-Carrying Camp and continue your internship.”
The training field immediately erupted with sighs and laughter.
Chen Dapao’s group and the others sighed. There was no way around it. Their results in the New Recruit Assessment were poor, so they could only be assigned to inferior units.
When Jiang Yichen heard “Corpse-Carrying Camp,” he could not help looking at Chen Dapao a few more times, as though he had seen his former self from his previous life.
That version of himself had only been greeted by ridicule. But now...
“Jiang Yichen, Su Linyu, Tang Long, and Chu Xingchen will enter the Divine Battle Division and complete a one-and-a-half-year internship,” Xu Lin announced from the stage in a sonorous voice.
The Divine Battle Division!?
All the new recruits looked in Young Master Jiang’s direction at the same time, their faces full of shock and envy.
Ever since the Divine Battle Division had challenged their new recruits last time, Instructor Qin had spoken about how special the Divine Battle Division was.
The Divine Battle Division’s rank was second only to the Commander-in-Chief of Huaxia.
In Instructor Qin’s words, being able to enter the Divine Battle Division meant one’s ancestors’ graves were giving off auspicious smoke.
Everyone revealed envious looks.
The corners of Jiang Yichen’s mouth rose. Now... he had already changed from the clown mocked by everyone in his previous life into someone everyone admired and envied.
