The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast-Chapter 562 - 454: Under the Gaze of Great Xia’s Four Divisions, the Provincial Tournament Concludes
On the peaks of the Floating Immortal Island, ten towering beams of light connecting to the manifested star tracks still hadn't fallen, as if holding open a grand gateway within the star tracks.
Under the watchful eyes of the astonished people of Fenghai Province, the sky suddenly transformed.
In the sky, there appeared a gigantic, unquenchable, fiercely burning crimson flame, brimming with boundless fighting spirit and a resolute will to battle, its fiery glow illuminating the firmament.
Its brilliance began to cast upon the promising youths below, each with different expressions.
In an instant.
Many contestants from the ten teams were seen with different colored flames lighting up on their bodies, merging into their Sea of Spirit.
"The gaze of the [Fire Division] has arrived."
"Although there were speculations before, but..."
A young True Man mumbled, "It truly has drawn the attention of multiple Giants, just like the national competition."
—The Four Divisions of Great Xia.
Strictly speaking, beyond the modern functional department divisions of a typical nation-state and the Great Xia Spirit Master Association's division method, there's an even more ancient division system that has been in use since before the founding of the nation, dating back to the time of the initial Four Celestial Kings.
That is the division of the [Four Divisions].
The Fire Division, the Thunder Division, the Plague Division, and the Dou Division.
Each of the Great Xia Four Divisions has at least two Giants, and the leaders of the four divisions are directly held by the Four Celestial Kings.
The Fire Division, another name for the military.
Fire, the origin of most civilizations.
The Fire Division, fiery and ever-burning, is the pillar of outer battlefronts, and within, the guardian of the people, united by one heart, the seed of civilization.
The Head of the Fire Division, the Commander-in-Chief of the Great Xia military, Jiang Hengyu, known to all as the Nine-Star Supreme Being—
[Heavenly King Heng]!
Strictly speaking, anyone who enlists in the military, whether they are from a noble family, a high disciple of a sect, or a commoner, is considered a member of the Fire Division, so broadly speaking, the number of Spirit Masters in the Fire Division can even be estimated in billions.
Even someone with a mere white talent, as long as they are willing to fight for Great Xia, can join the Fire Division.
However, the gaze cast by the Fire Division at this moment is certainly not so cheap.
Because only Giants of Eight-Star, Tier Eight and above, are qualified to cast their gaze down the star tracks of Great Xia in such a setting.
This also means that the provincial competition this year holds exceedingly high value, with its accumulated fortune beginning to reinforce the Boundary Wall, simultaneously attracting the attention of the strong stationed at the Outer Battlefield.
Contestants who performed outstandingly on the field had their Sea of Spirit condensed with marks resembling flames as the fire burned.
Standing beside Du Qing, Leng Shengnan felt the single-colored flame in her Sea of Spirit, momentarily dazed: "Do I also have one?"
Information was transmitted from the crimson single-colored flame.
—Due to her impressive performance in the competition, after graduating from university, if she were to join the military, she could directly enjoy the rank of a Major without accumulating any Merits.
Her situation was not an exception, at least twenty people present received an invitation from the Fire Division. But most of them had single-colored crimson flames, fewer than half had two-colored flames.
Zhao Yue, Du Qing, Heaven-slaying Demon, and Liu Shuwen received three-colored flames.
The color of the flames represents the military rank.
This signifies that if they join the military in the future, they can directly enjoy the rank of a Colonel.
While Zuo Qingtian and Jiang Nalan had four-colored flames representing the rank of a Senior Colonel.
For the average True Man, if they hadn't made significant contributions, joining the Fire Division would only grant them this rank.
However, at present, no one was paying them much attention. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Because there were two people present adorned with the light marks of five-colored flames.
Yin Long and Lin Guang.
The gazes of the True Men present were filled with deep disbelief and admiration as they looked at them.
Those familiar with insider information among the audience were even more stunned.
Although this attention in Great Xia isn't exactly a secret, five-colored flames are extremely rare even in the national competition—not to mention this is a provincial competition.
Because the five-colored flame represents the rank of Junior General.
Junior General, generally not assumed by anyone other than seasoned True Men, who usually have to accumulate merits over many years to gain promotion, and the best among them might even serve as Deputy Corps Commander of rear corps.
The Deputy Corps Commander of the Eleventh Army, Tianmu, who is on friendly terms with Lin Guang, is such a person.
He spent a hundred years striving, and he remains just a Junior General.
But these two peerless disciples on the field can soar to the top upon graduating naturally.
No one offered any objection or doubt.
This is not just the decision of the Giants but a testament to the talent and power they themselves have shown.
Now, they are already unafraid of newly-broken True Men, so in four years, how much more will they grow?
And even four years later, it's just the beginning.
Even the harshest critics must concede that they deserve such treatment.
The next moment, however, the mark of the Fire Division abruptly vanished in the sky.
Replaced by the unruly, seemingly capable of judging all evils, a mark full of the might of heavenly punishment—a blue lightning trace appeared in the sky.
"Oh?"
Bai Wu revealed a smile, "The Thunder Division has also arrived indeed."
The Thunder Division also symbolizes various meanings.
Apart from the well-known heavenly punishment and judgment, lightning moves with the speed of light, the utmost speed in the world, yet it's challenging to tame, like a stag's antler, leaving no trace, much like the unfathomable thought processes of geniuses, difficult for mortals to grasp.
