High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 308 - 260: Two Exceptional Cases, Entering General Star, the Might of the Crystal Human Form!
Humans have an instinct to seek luck and avoid danger, which becomes increasingly accurate as their strength grows.
At the same time, in South China, in a Taoist temple deep within the clouds.
Li Qingfeng put down the teacup in his hand and looked towards the northwest, a hint of astonishment flickering in his bright eyes, as he too saw the figure within that black mist.
"Three kinds of Power of Rules..."
"That golden one I cannot fathom, but the remaining red and blue... should it be Water and Fire, or Ice and Fire?"
"But why just these two?"
"Within Huaxia, currently there should not be a Titled Grandmaster who possesses two completely opposing Powers of Rules, nor does such an individual exist on the Grandmaster List..."
A crisp sound of a Silver Bell came from behind, followed by a slightly immature voice. A young girl had brewed a fresh pot of tea, and she looked up with a quizzical expression. The scenery of the temple seemed unchanged for a decade in her eyes, utterly boring.
"Grandfather, what are you looking at?"
"Our Huaxia will soon give rise to a remarkable figure." Li Qingfeng stroked his beard and smiled, sensing vaguely that the silhouette within the mist was not particularly friendly towards him.
But Li Qingfeng was not much concerned; since he could see this silhouette, it must mean he was destined to have a connection with this future ’great figure.’ If there is destiny, then there is a possibility of resolving it, perhaps it could be an opportunity.
If it cannot be resolved, then it is fate, and there must be a tribulation.
"Remarkable... great figure?" The young girl tilted her head.
In her understanding, her grandfather, who took her in, is already a great figure, though he never mentioned his true identity to her; yet everyone who came to the mountain showed him deep respect.
Li Qingfeng turned around, spotting the question in the girl’s face, but he did not answer, only laughed and asked, "Xiaojin, how many years have you been here at the temple?"
"Thirteen years." The girl rested her chin in her palm, gazing at the unchanged sea of clouds outside the temple.
"Do you want to go down the mountain?"
...
The beast tide in Yun Province came suddenly and ended just as abruptly, the suppression operations reached its final stages.
The clearing missions for the seven Beast Caves were also basically completed.
The battle merits from various divisions have all been submitted to the Yun Province Command. These merits will undergo a series of compilations, then be presented to the Southern War Zone, and a final copy will be sent to the Huaxia Military Department for archiving.
After a battle, many new faces appeared as new soldiers replaced old ones within the divisions. Soldiers that had once been new faces themselves were now seasoned by war, shedding their immaturity and gaining some steadiness.
The clearing mission for Beast Cave 007 was completed, and the 1198th Division received the War Order yesterday to return to the War Zone.
"Kid, you’re still a bit short of promotion to a lieutenant this time, but it’s enough for sergeant. When you bring in new recruits later, watch yourself, otherwise don’t say you came from me, also don’t say you’re from the 1198th Division," said the leader of the 4th Regiment, patting the shoulder of a nearby soldier.
The soldier looked rather embarrassed, a burst of cheerful laughter erupted around him.
This soldier was none other than the recruit who hit the Grandmaster Level Red Ape with a rocket launcher; back then, the Regiment Leader had given him a hard slap. Thinking back, his face flushed red.
"Regiment Leader, I won’t embarrass you, I promise you!"
"Let’s not talk about this, come on, let’s assemble quickly and go give our division a send-off."
Zhen Yue scanned the faces of all his comrades in the 1198th Division, feeling a bit reluctant, having been in this division for nearly twenty years, believing this stage of life to be reaching its end.
"This time, I’m being promoted with a Golden Star, transferred to an elite division, all thanks to Su Mu."
Zhen Yue was quite clear in his understanding, knowing that this time Su Mu was the key; had it been someone else, then perhaps they would have been promoted instead. It was just his luck this time as Zhen Yue.
"Why all the long faces? I’m being promoted, not meeting my end, so give me a smile!"
Zhen Yue was quite looking forward to the announcement of Su Mu’s battle merits; he guessed it was unlikely for Su Mu to directly become a General Star, as there had never been a non-Grandmaster becoming one; likely they would wait until Su Mu advanced to Grandmaster.
As for the General Level, it’s definitely assured, just awaiting how many Golden Stars.
...
At noon, across the Huaxia Land, everyone in each province and region received a commendation message.
[The Huaxia Military Department is exceptionally awarding Su Mu from the Southern War Zone the titles "Southern Dawn" and "Light of the General Star," and exceptionally granting Su Mu the Three-Star General Level rank, to honor Su Mu for standing alone against formidable enemies and achieving outstanding battle merits during the Yun Province beast tide. It calls upon soldiers in every War Zone and Huaxia Martial Artists to learn from Su Mu.]
Southern Dawn, Light of the General Star?!
Three-Star General Level?!
This time, it’s not just a commendation message for South China, but a nationwide commendation message for Huaxia’s populace, making particular note of the exceptional awarding terms.
Outsiders watch the excitement, insiders see the depth.
Soon enough, many eyes were fixed on the title ’Light of the General Star.’
"This time, there’s even an exceptional awarding of Light of the General Star, is Su Mu preparing to enter the ranks of General Star in the Southern War Zone?"
"Not likely, right? Doesn’t the lowest requirement for General Star have to be a Grandmaster? Isn’t Su Mu still not a Grandmaster? His name is still first on the Celestial Pride List."
"And hasn’t he only been part of the Southern War Zone for less than a year?"
"General Star? What’s that? Wasn’t Su Mu already a General Star?"
"That’s different. That was not real. You don’t know about General Star? Those who enter the General Star List are those who have achieved outstanding battle merits in various War Zones and are the rank of General Level among General Level members. There is a saying that those on the General Star List are candidates for command within each War Zone’s headquarters."
