Protect Our Patriarch-Chapter 803 Book 6: 77: Open! Advanced General Officer Training Academy
……
"Are you two... disciples of Yunpeng Holy Sovereign?" Baiyu Chao Lu's expression was somewhat complex.
"Miss, don't be afraid." Wang Baoguang thought she was worried about being targeted and immediately patted his chest to reassure her, "Even if it's our master, we won't cover for him just for sales. If he has wronged you in any way, public opinion will stand up for you."
"That's right." Senior Brother Bai Tao added with a hum, "If you have any grievances, we might not be able to help, but the Dao Master can."
"Well..." Baiyu Chao Lu showed an awkward yet polite smile, "Actually, I don't know Yunpeng Holy Sovereign at all..."
To avoid further misunderstandings, she quickly explained how Ancestor Lici recommended her to work for the Wang's Clan.
She really didn't want to stay in this place any longer; it felt like a trap everywhere, as if she'd become a public enemy with one wrong step.
"So it was Ancestor Lici who introduced you to work at our place..."
Wang Baoguang was immediately disappointed.
"Is it Master Wang Shouzhe?" Baiyu Chao Lu asked, her green eyes blinking.
"That's right, that's right. You don't mind if I interview you, do you?" Wang Baoguang's eyes sparkled, "Don't worry, the interview will be quick, and in return, I'll reimburse your tickets to the Tianrui Holy Dynasty."
Honestly, Baiyu Chao Lu didn't want to be interviewed at all, but thinking about the ticket prices... she gritted her teeth and agreed.
A few days later.
Baiyu Chao Lu finally boarded the cargo ship heading to the Tianrui Holy Dynasty.
Thanks to Wang Baoguang's arrangements, the cabin assigned to her was specially isolated, quite spacious, and the interior was very luxurious, much better than the small compartment she came in. Yet, even so, recalling Wang Baoguang's interview still sent shivers down her spine.
That guy's interview angles were so tricky it was terrifying, as if he wanted to dig out her inner thoughts. Just a few questions, and it felt like he had seen through all her thoughts...
Too scary!
That guy seemed to be Lici's younger sister's junior. Lici's sister was so honest, so kind, so good, how could her family junior be so frightening?
As the cloud ship left the port, slowly heading towards the Tianrui Holy Dynasty, Baiyu Chao Lu's heart began to churn with mixed emotions, filled with hope yet anxious.
Could the Wang's Clan that Lici's sister introduced be a pirate ship?
Fortunately, the journey was long, and it would take many years to sail there~
She had plenty of time to be anxious slowly.
******
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, another ten years had passed.
In the summer of Longchang Calendar 3594.
During these ten years, the Shenwu World continued to develop steadily and rapidly, without much upheaval.
The only major event was the Shenwu human race achieving a comprehensive victory in the battle against the three major Demon Gods, including Yincha. The three major Demon Gods were utterly defeated and had no choice but to lead their remaining forces to seek refuge with the Nine Prison Demon God.
Faced with the defection of the three major Demon Gods, the Nine Prison Demon God was naturally overjoyed.
While appeasing the newly defected Yincha, Dragonblood, and Nether Fiend Demon Gods, it activated war mode, deploying troops at the border to prevent further human expansion.
The Shenwu human race, seeing the opportunity, began to build a large number of defensive checkpoints and other military facilities along the border, ready to quietly digest the large piece of territory they had gained.
When everyone thought the Nine Prison Demon God would unite with the three major Demon Gods to launch an attack and reclaim the lost demon territory, the vast demon army under the Nine Prison Demon God remained stationed in place, seemingly intent on a standoff with the human race until the end of time.
The Dragonblood Demon God and the other two major Demon Gods, of course, "wouldn't have it," and they jointly rushed to the Nine Prison Demon God Hall to question the Nine Prison Demon God's decision to "do nothing."
The Nine Prison Demon God wasn't angry but instead took the three major Demon Gods to the void sea outside the demon realm to show them the hyperspace signal tower, with Mo Yu Demon God reporting the situation.
"Your Majesty, fellow colleagues," Mo Yu Demon God spoke eloquently, with a proud expression on his face, "Eight years ago, we repaired this hyperspace signal tower inherited from over a hundred thousand years ago and established contact with our demon race's main base."
"This connection received immense attention from the demon race's main base, even being reported layer by layer, alarming the great [Overlord of Destruction]."
"Under the wise and great overlord's instructions, the Asura Great Demon Lord took over, fully supporting our side's defense and invasion work."
With every word, Mo Yu Demon God's expression grew prouder, his gaze unconsciously glancing at the Dragonblood, Yincha, and Nether Fiend Demon Gods, with a strong sense of showing off in his words: "Next, as long as we follow the Asura Great Demon Lord's instructions and continue to repair the [Hyperspace Corridor], completely opening the space channel between the two sides, our reinforcements can swiftly arrive through the hyperspace corridor."
"Currently, we have obtained the complete repair blueprints, related technology, and the first batch of repair materials barely transmitted through the remaining energy of the hyperspace corridor, and have already begun repairs."
Demon race's main base? Hyperspace corridor? Asura Great Demon Lord? Overlord of Destruction?
The Yincha Demon God and Nether Fiend Demon God were terrified, feeling their hearts sink to the bottom, cold and desolate.
Isn't this damn it, just after defecting to the enemy, our reinforcements are about to arrive?
Dragonblood Demon God Yuntai An's face also turned serious, his heart surging with waves, unable to help but worry for the Shenwu human race. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
He never expected that just after infiltrating the Nine Prison Demon God's group according to plan, he would learn such shocking news.
No wonder, no wonder the Nine Prison Demon God, after suffering such a big loss, didn't think of retaliating but instead willingly lay dormant for so long, waiting for this moment~!
The Nine Prison Demon God, unaware of the thoughts of the three Demon Gods, only thought they were stunned by the great news.
In high spirits, it laughed heartily: "So, you three, be patient. In as little as a few decades, or as long as a century, our reinforcements will arrive. By then, what is the mere human race? Annihilating them will be as easy as turning over a hand. Moreover, the Overlord of Destruction has already assured us that once we reclaim the demon realm and Shenwu World, the ruling rights will still belong to us."
"Dragonblood, Yincha, Nether Fiend, dawn is near, and our most important task now is to conserve our living forces and welcome the arrival of reinforcements. Why fight to the death with the human race at this dawn?"
With the Nine Prison Demon God's endless words, Yuntai An finally snapped out of his shock.
"Your Majesty Nine Prison is wise." He grinned with a sinister dragon face, putting on a look of ecstasy, "I never expected Your Majesty Nine Prison to accomplish such a great thing in silence; this is truly wonderful! With the main base's continuous support, the human race is doomed."
As he said this, he had already made up his mind.
As soon as he left here, he would immediately find an opportunity to notify Shouzhe of this crucial information.
This hyperspace corridor is a massive threat to the human race; we must find a way to blow it up!
Fortunately, he had already placed various restrictions on the demonic souls of the Yincha Demon God and Nether Fiend Demon God when he had the advantage before. If they dared to rebel, they would be reduced to ashes, so there was no worry about them defecting again.
Otherwise, with this news out, those two Demon Gods would definitely rebel immediately, and he would be in danger~
That was close, really close~
******
Almost at the same time.
In the void sea on the outskirts of the Shenwu World.
After ten years of exploration, Wang Baosheng and Di Xiu finally discovered their target in a hidden spatial fold of the void sea—the Nine Heavens Meteorite.
Its location was so concealed, wedged in the crevice of a spatial fold, that if Di Xiu hadn't explored a bit deeper while "picking up trash" and searched more carefully, they might have missed it.
Moreover, perhaps due to the impact of the Chaos Annihilation Pearl explosion, or the energy storms it had endured over the past hundred thousand years in the void sea, its appearance had changed quite a bit from before, and its size had shrunk considerably, almost unrecognizable to Wang Baosheng.
Fortunately, after some identification and testing, Wang Baosheng finally confirmed that this was indeed the "host" of the academy cave heaven he had personally developed in his previous life.
The Advanced Military Academy was within this cave heaven.
To facilitate future exploration, Di Xiu directly unfolded his true form, using his immensely thick roots to coil around the Nine Heavens Meteorite, dragging it out of the spatial fold bit by bit.
After finishing the task, he returned to the small flying boat, unable to help but feel emotional: "Ten years, it's been a whole ten years, and we've finally found the Nine Heavens Meteorite. It wasn't easy."
"Indeed, it wasn't easy." Wang Baosheng was also filled with satisfaction, finally not letting down Ancestor Grandfather's trust.
"If it were Young Master Anye, he probably would have found it in a month, at most three months..." Di Xiu Immortal Monarch couldn't help but complain again.
"..."
The smile on Wang Baosheng's face froze.
He couldn't help but shout in his heart: Senior Di Xiu, could you please stop mentioning my great-grandfather?
Over the past ten years, Wang Baosheng had heard "if Young Master Anye were here" from Di Xiu's mouth no less than a hundred times... Searching for the Nine Heavens Meteorite isn't just about luck, right?
"Senior Di Xiu, let's quickly notify the clan~" Wang Baosheng said, feeling both frustrated and helpless, trying to change the subject, "My Ancestor Grandfather has been waiting for this instance for a long time."
Influenced by Wang Shouzhe and the various small copies he read from a young age, everyone in the Wang's Clan had gotten used to calling various relics and cave heavens "instances," and referring to exploring relics as "running instances."
Although Wang Baosheng didn't have the habit of reading small copies, he had gotten used to this way of speaking through constant exposure.
……
Some time later.
At the main residence of the Wang's Clan.
In Shouzhe's courtyard.
The courtyard was filled with blooming flowers, like spring all year round, with rich spiritual energy flowing in the air, looking from afar, it was full of spiritual charm, like a fairyland.
In the pavilion within the courtyard.
Wang Shouzhe was lying on a grandmaster chair, basking in the sun, drinking fruit juice, and flipping through a palm-sized crystal screen, reviewing the latest intelligence reports to stay updated on the latest developments in various areas.
Meanwhile, under the stone table in the pavilion, Wang Zongzhu was struggling with his homework, burying his bamboo head.
Over the years, the Taiyi Golden Thunder Bamboo Wang Zongzhu, catalyzed by Wang Shouzhe, was no longer the little bamboo shoot he once was, but had grown into a... slightly larger bamboo shoot, though his bamboo rhizome had grown much longer.
However, Wang Zongzhu would rather not have grown up.
Being a Taiyi Golden Thunder Bamboo, his bamboo life mode was too difficult.
The difficulty of the clan school was far beyond his imagination, especially after advancing to the elementary class, where various knowledge points bombarded him relentlessly.
He used his bamboo rhizome to roll the pen, rubbing it on his bamboo tip, unable to figure out this travel problem. What with A running and B chasing, B turning back and A chasing... it made his bamboo shell ache.
He really wanted to summon a piece of Taiyi Golden Thunder to turn all this homework into ashes.
Compared to Wang Zongzhu's misery, Wang Shouzhe was quite happy.
The intelligence reports he received were mostly good news.
First was the good news from the Wang's Alchemy Directorate.
Thanks to the "import" of a large number of low-cost spirit medicines and the continuously expanding assembly line production, the production of Cultivation Pills had reached new heights! The annual output had now exceeded 30 billion pills, with an annual total output value of around fifteen to sixteen Immortal Spirit Stones.
Thinking back to the days when the family's children had to be humble for a single Cultivation Pill, the Wang's Clan had truly undergone a tremendous transformation.
However, even so, it was still far from meeting the consumption needs of the entire Shenwu, let alone exporting to earn foreign exchange.
In the coming years, the Wang's Alchemy Directorate would need to continue expanding production!
Wang Shouzhe casually picked up a nearby stylus and quickly wrote his approval: continue to expand production.
In addition, Seventh Brother Wang Shouye had made another breakthrough in alchemy technology.
Now, he could produce five ninth-grade Boundless Pills per batch, reaching a break-even point. In terms of Boundless Pill refining skills, Wang Shouye was undoubtedly the "first in Shenwu."
"Wife, Old Seven's alchemy talent is quite good." Wang Shouzhe said, holding a spirit melon washed and brought by Liu Ruolan, while eating and praising, "As he gets older, he becomes more stable and refined."
If Shouye heard this, he would probably spit out a mouthful of old blood.
Fourth Brother, is this talent? I'm being forced! Have you ever experienced the feeling of losing money with every batch you refine?
This isn't burning pills; it's burning the heart!
"I heard from my sister-in-law that Seventh Uncle is working hard to master the ninth-grade Boundless Pill." Liu Ruolan said, "He has no other requirements, just wants to earn back the money lost in alchemy before you ask him to refine tenth-grade pills."
"Before he reaches the Void Realm, refining tenth-grade pills is too strenuous." Wang Shouzhe pondered, "Since he wants to make money, let him continue refining ninth-grade pills. This pill has a great market in the Holy Domain as well. Let the Holy Domain Development Corporation purchase materials to help him improve his proficiency."
Saying this, he put down the spirit melon and quickly wrote his approval.
After finishing, Wang Shouzhe looked at the next message.
Hmm~ This one was good news from the research institute.
The first small void sea laboratory had been completed, ready to be sent near the Lingxu in the void sea to study those Lingxu garbage dumps and attempt to establish a smelting factory in the void sea.
This was good news~ representing another small step forward for the Shenwu human race's civilization.
"Huh? Hyperspace signal tower? Demon race's main base, Overlord of Destruction, Asura Great Demon Lord..."
Suddenly, Wang Shouzhe came across an urgent report from Yuntai An, and his previously relaxed expression became serious.
After a moment, he finished reading the report, his expression returning to a relaxed state, and he smiled: "I had already guessed that the Nine Prison Demon God, by just standing off with our human army, was definitely holding back some big move, and it turns out they contacted the demon race's main base. Fortunately, the reinforcements aren't arriving immediately, we still have time to prepare."
Wang Shouzhe picked up the stylus, thought for a rare moment, and then wrote his approval.
This time, he wrote a lot.
Clearly, this matter was much more complicated than the previous ones.
However, even so, by the time he finished chewing a spirit melon, he had almost completed his writing.
After approving this message, the next two messages were from the Tianrui Holy Dynasty, sent by Jiang Muxian and Wang Youping respectively.
Both messages were about the same thing—a girl from the Baiyu's Clan named [Baiyu Chao Lu] had come with her elite clan members to work for the Wang's Clan! It was said that she was strongly recommended by Lici.
This made Wang Shouzhe smile.
That girl Lici had gone so far away, yet she hadn't forgotten to introduce workers to the clan~ Last time it was Cai Youdao, and this time it's the Winged People Baiyu's Clan... she really knows how to pick people.
Immediately, he issued instructions for Wang Youping to arrange work properly and not to mistreat them.
As the saying goes, spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones, the better the workers develop in the Wang's Clan, the more positive the impact on the Wang's Clan's reputation, attracting a continuous flow of talent in the future.
As for letting them into the Shenwu World? That would require extensive evaluation. Only those who passed various assessments and were deemed to have good character and integrity would be invited to work in the Shenwu World.
Wang Shouzhe was very efficient, usually reviewing a message and immediately making a decision, only occasionally needing detailed consideration for one or two messages.
These messages included those about the refining industry, agriculture, the Zhenmo Protectorate, and even Wang Fugui from the front line would occasionally send messages to report the situation.
This was the most important duty of a family head, not to do everything personally, but to lead and urge the family to continually move in the needed direction.
Why have so many clan members? Why vigorously develop the clan school? Naturally, it was to cultivate more talents to fill the ever-growing framework of the Wang's Clan.
And Wang Shouzhe was merely the guide, the navigator of the family.
Suddenly.
Another urgent report was delivered by a family guard.
This time, the message was an emergency transmission from the communication base station.
Wang Shouzhe opened it and saw it was another piece of good news, Baosheng had sent a message saying they had found the Nine Heavens Meteorite.
Seeing this message, his expression was somewhat emotional.
Ten years~
Even he hadn't expected that it would take Baosheng ten years to find the Nine Heavens Meteorite. And to think he was the reincarnation of the Holy Emperor of Shenwu, taking so long to find a cave heaven he had created himself.
For this soon-to-be-opened [Advanced Military Academy], Wang Shouzhe was quite looking forward to it.
This should also be the last legacy left by the Holy Emperor for the descendants of the human race.
To be honest, the reason the Wang's Clan could reach its current state was inseparable from the Shenwu Legacy. However, taking on the Shenwu Legacy also meant bearing the unfinished business of the Holy Emperor of Shenwu.
This wasn't just an honor and benefit, but a heavy responsibility.
However, no one in the Wang's Clan would shirk this heavy responsibility, especially now that even the Holy Emperor had reincarnated into the Wang's Clan.
Immediately.
Wang Shouzhe issued a family head order, initiating the long-prepared [Advanced Military Academy Instance Plan].
Once the order was issued, he stretched lazily, put down the crystal screen to take a break, then got up to urge Wang Zongzhu's homework while drinking the nourishing soup handed by his wife.
Speaking of which, the content of the Wang's Clan School was becoming increasingly profound, even the content of the middle-level clan school was comparable to university content from his previous life.
And the content of the advanced clan school often left Wang Shouzhe feeling lost.
"Father."
Seeing Wang Shouzhe approaching, a young man sitting beside Wang Zongzhu stood up and respectfully saluted Wang Shouzhe.
This young man had a tall and upright figure, with an elegant and noble demeanor, like a graceful young man.
He was the World Tree [Wang Zongshi], the most intelligent and steady of the Wang's Clan celestial plants. Although he was born late, his learning progress was fast, and he had already joined the research institute.
His performance often made Wang Shouzhe feel that this wasn't a World Tree, but a Wisdom Tree!
"Zongshi is back?"
Wang Shouzhe had been busy with approvals and hadn't noticed when he arrived.
He looked at Wang Zongzhu, then at Wang Zongshi, and smiled kindly: "Helping your brother with his homework?"
"There's nothing much at the research institute today, so I came to visit Father and Mother." Wang Zongshi said, "After looking at my brother's homework, I helped him sort out his knowledge system. Honestly, Zhu'er's knowledge is a bit scattered, and he only has a superficial understanding of many knowledge points. How about this, I'll come back every day for a while to give him some extra lessons. Then I'll print more test papers for him..."
Thank you very much~
Wang Zongzhu's bamboo shell face drooped.
Among all the brothers and sisters, he dreaded Wang Zongshi the most. Every time he saw him, it was about homework, knowledge, and practice papers...
Unlike Sister Lilong, Sister Lixian, and Sister Lixuan, who always brought him all sorts of delicious and fun things, and even secretly took him to watch the Great Projection, sob sob~ the Great Projection was so good to watch~~
"Alright, then I'll leave Zhu'er to Zongshi for tutoring." Wang Shouzhe was very pleased with the unity among the siblings.
Then, it was Wang Zongzhu's miserable life.
In the calm yet tense life, another whole year passed.
During this year, the most important thing for the Wang's Clan was preparing for the upcoming opening of the Advanced Military Academy.
For this instance, the Wang's Clan had been preparing for many years, and everything that needed to be prepared was almost ready, so the preparations naturally proceeded quickly.
After a year, the preparations were finally complete, and next, it was time to officially open the instance.
Two medium-sized Domain-Crossing Flying Boats were dispatched, picking up people, breaking through the Shenwu World's Yunhai Tian Gang, entering the void sea, and heading rapidly towards the coordinates.
In less than half a month, they successfully rendezvoused with Wang Baosheng and Di Xiu in the void sea.
Thanks to Di Xiu's efforts, the Nine Heavens Meteorite had been dragged back into the energy field range of the Shenwu World. Under the constraints of the energy field, it wouldn't drift randomly but would keep circling the world.
And this was its original position.
"Ancestor Grandfather." Wang Baosheng boarded the medium-sized Domain-Crossing Flying Boat and reported the situation to Wang Shouzhe, who led the team, "The Advanced Military Academy has been activated, and students with a recommendation letter can enroll at any time. After passing the test, they can become academy students."
While reporting, a white-bearded old man also approached: "Baosheng, it's been a while, I've missed you."
This old man was naturally the Reincarnation Tree [Wang Chenlun].
At this moment, his face was glowing, clearly having recovered well in the Wang's Clan.
"Ancestor Chenlun." Wang Baosheng greeted helplessly.
In the family, seniority is paramount. Even if it's his own life-bound sacred plant, it's still his ancestor.
Moreover, he felt that Ancestor Chenlun didn't really miss him; he had been living comfortably by Ancestor Grandfather's side all these years and hadn't visited him once.
Wang Shouzhe didn't waste words and directly had Baosheng activate the portal spirit artifact of the academy cave heaven.
On the Nine Heavens Meteorite, an energy portal appeared out of thin air.
At the same time.
A clear and ethereal, very pleasant female voice also sounded: "Welcome to the Shenwu Advanced Military Academy, please present your enrollment recommendation letter, accompanying family members, please step aside and wait for the prospective students to complete their enrollment procedures before handling the accompanying procedures."
The composed and steady Wang Zong'an stepped forward to command: "Everyone, listen up, proceed with enrollment according to seniority, from youngest to oldest, and maintain order, don't let the academy's spirit artifact look down on our Wang's Clan."
"Uh..." The academy's spirit artifact, seeing the bustling crowd, couldn't help but remind again, "You have too many accompanying family members, each student can only have one or two family members accompany them."
"Family members?" Wang Zong'an replied, "Senior Spirit Artifact, we don't have family members here, they're all prospective students."
"?"
The academy's spirit artifact's voice suddenly froze.
It was stunned for a long time, feeling that the situation before it was beyond its understanding, as if it had crashed.
The scene was quite awkward for a moment.
"Ahem!"
Seeing this scene, the Reincarnation Tree Wang Chenlun finally couldn't stand it, lightly coughed, and spoke: "Spirit Artifact Jiuxiao, do you still recognize this deity?"
"So it's the Reincarnation Holy Sovereign." Spirit Artifact Jiuxiao immediately snapped back to reality, its tone becoming enthusiastic and respectful, "Welcome home, Holy Sovereign, could the onlookers please disperse a bit and let the Holy Sovereign go home first."
"Ahem~ I'm not in a hurry." Wang Chenlun introduced, "These aren't onlookers, they are indeed all prospective students."
"All, all prospective students?" Spirit Artifact Jiuxiao's voice trembled.
"All of them!"
Wang Chenlun nodded affirmatively, but his heart was also stirred with intense waves.
Back when he and the Holy Emperor developed the cave heaven and established this military academy, they intended to implement elite education. At that time, in their expectations, the number of students enrolling in the academy at the same time would definitely not exceed five!
After all, those who could come here for advanced studies were all prodigies, the worst of whom would be at the level of a legion commander in the future. And there were only nine group armies in the Divine Dynasty, with at most a hundred or so legion commanders, all of whom were active officers, so how many young people would need to come to the academy for advanced studies at the same time?
Having one or two students per session was normal, and if the number of students in the academy reached five, it would already indicate a talent boom and great fortune.
Yet, he never expected that the Wang's Clan would bring over two medium-sized flying boats full of prospective students at once.
Wang Chenlun, seeing this "grand occasion" for the first time, couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.
Master Wang Shouzhe, is this an attempt to strip the Advanced Military Academy bare?
