Chapter 366
“You’re asking the right person,” the other replied excitedly. “From what I know, this General Lu’s exploits are truly legendary! He enlisted less than a month ago but was imdiately sent to the battlefield as soon as he reported to the military region. You know about that front line held by the 835th Battalion at the newly erged Class AA Catacomb, right?
“It was broken half a month ago, the battalion retreated and the battalion commander was killed in action. Guess what General Lu did? The absolute madman single-handedly went to defend that front line alone! Just one man with a rifle, yet he stubbornly held that line for half a month.
“I heard the entire battlefield was covered in piles of exotic beast corpses, mounds of flesh and blood … The brothers who went to reinforce the line were stunned. It took them two full days just to clear the battlefield. If you ask , over 3 million military rits are an understatent.
“A CPI of 12.5 Stars, how many people in the entire military can reach that level? Just wait, the Eastern Seven Luminaries will beco the Eastern Eight Luminaries … No, it’s already been done!”
As this person spoke, Qin Shaojun’s mouth gradually fell open wider and wider until it could almost fit a fist inside.
“Is … is this really the Lu Sheng we know?”
Qin Shaojun slowly turned his head, an expression of utter disbelief as he looked at Dong Qingxue.
Yet he was stunned to see that at this mont, an extraordinary radiance was blooming on Dong Qingxue’s face.
She stared unblinkingly at that na on the large screen, touched the silver pendant around her neck, and said softly to Qin Shaojun, “Let’s invite Lu Sheng out for dinner tonight. I’ll call him …”
Qin Shaojun blinked a few tis before nodding, “Okay!”
…
“1182nd Battalion Commander Yu Feiyi, reporting to the Marshal!”
Yu Feiyi stood at the entrance in his crisp military uniform, reporting loudly.
His expression was solemn, but his slightly trembling left hand and the beads of sweat on his temples revealed … Yu Feiyi was very nervous and excited right now.
Being received by the Marshal in person was an honor not every battalion commander could have.
Let alone being received in private audience.
Yu Feiyi had joined the Eastern Military Region decades ago on the battlefield, and the last ti he saw He Dingqing … was when he was promoted to Major General and appointed commander of the 1182nd Battalion. Eight years ago.
“Yu Feiyi!” He Dingqing stood up from his seat with a smile, “Co in, have a seat!”
“Yes, Marshal!”
Yu Feiyi strode into the office and sat down on the sofa.
But even so, he only let half his butt touch the seat, keeping his back ramrod straight and his limbs placed properly, not daring to move an inch.
“No need to be so tense.”
He Dingqing walked over, smiling as he poured Yu Feiyi a cup of water, “You did very well this ti.”
Yu Feiyi straightened up and said quickly, “It’s all thanks to the Marshal’s brilliant commands.”
He Dingqing chuckled and shook his head, “It has nothing to do with , it was your keen eye that made the right recomndation.”
“Huh?” Yu Feiyi was stunned, not understanding.
Was this private audience by the Marshal not because of his outstanding performance defending the front line in the Class AA Ruins campaign?
Keen eye? Right recomndation?
What was he talking about? Yu Feiyi had no idea.
***
“Feiyi doesn’t understand, please enlighten , Marshal.”
Yu Feiyi finally voiced his confusion.
He Dingqing didn’t find it strange, picking up a file folder beside him and handing it to Yu Feiyi.
“Take a look at this, you’ll understand after reading it.”
Yu Feiyi received the folder solemnly with both hands, opened it and read silently.
He Dingqing sat nearby, sipping his tea slowly.
When Yu Feiyi saw the first page of the file, his brows raised slightly.
The header on the first page simply said “Lu Sheng”.
Below was a brief introduction of Lu Sheng’s background – information Yu Feiyi was already familiar with.
Then the second page …
“As expected …” Yu Feiyi thought to himself.
The second page recorded Lu Sheng’s kills of exotic beasts on the battlefield.
These records ca from the black box surveillance footage of different battalions and front lines.
Yu Feiyi flipped through page after page, his eyelids twitching frantically from what he saw.
He counted at least fifty-seven Level 7 exotic beasts!
“This kid is truly a freak, no wonder even the Marshal personally comnded him …”
Yu Feiyi now understood what He Dingqing ant earlier and the reason for this private audience.
Such formidable accomplishnts from a newly enlisted soldier were indeed astonishing … As he thought this, Yu Feiyi turned to the next page.
A line of text leapt into his eyes:
[…Singlehandedly defended Front Line 23 for nine days, incomplete statistics show Lu Sheng killed over 350 Level 7 exotic beasts, 7,600 Level 6 exotic beasts …]
Shua!
Yu Feiyi abruptly stood up from the sofa.
He looked at the file in his hands, then at He Dingqing, stunned.
“Marshal …”
“Sit down first,” He Dingqing said calmly, as if expecting this reaction. He raised his hand to motion him to sit.
“There’s more, read it all before speaking.”
“Yes, Marshal.”
Yu Feiyi forcibly suppressed his inner shock and sat down slowly.
He stared at the words and numbers on the file describing the unbelievable feats, wondering if his eyes were playing tricks on him.
One man with one spear, singlehandedly defending a whole front line!
Good heavens, how insane must one be to even conceive such a thought.
But the most ludicrous part was…
He actually held it down!
Yu Feiyi finally understood where Lu Sheng went in those days after leaving their 1182nd Battalion. No wonder he didn’t return at night.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, he simply couldn’t leave.
“Just what level is this kid at … don’t tell he’s already beco a Grandmaster?”
Yu Feiyi muttered in awe.
As if sensing his doubts, the final page of the file gave him the answer he wanted.
[CPI of 12.5 Stars! Ranked 4th on the Overall General Star Rankings!]
Those few lines rapidly enlarged before Yu Feiyi’s eyes, smashing into his eye sockets one by one, battering his brain into a daze where he almost lost his ability to think.
“CPI of 12.5 Stars … 4th on the General Rankings …”
As an experienced battalion commander who had seen countless life-and-death situations, Yu Feiyi could no longer remain composed.
He could only stare fixatedly at the file in his hands, his eyes almost sinking into it.
Watching Yu Feiyi’s dazed state, He Dingqing smiled and gently patted his shoulder.
“Major General Yu Feiyi, you have distinguished yourself in identifying talent this ti, selecting such an extraordinarily gifted martial genius for our Eastern Military Region. It’s truly remarkable. From now on, you will be in command of the 1182nd, 835th and 794th Battalions. Your military rank will also be promoted, enjoying the treatnt of a Lieutenant General starting today …”
Yu Feiyi looked up in a daze towards the beaming He Dingqing and murmured, “Thank you, Marshal.”
But his mind kept flashing back to the various scenes of Lu Sheng’s abilities from his mory.
