Xiao Tian recognized that man, he was the one who had given him the military uniform. He had heard directly from that man that he was the vice General of the Hundun Realm. However, he had thought it was just nonsense, and if it were true, he assumed it was only a small vice General who only handled the Star Lineup soldiers. It turned out his assumption was wrong, that position was the second highest position, and he was the one who controlled all soldiers from the three divisions. The Star Division, Cloud Division, Cosmos Division, all were under his command. Realizing that, only then could Xiao Tian connect the man’s calm demeanor with his true position, a position that made millions of soldiers worthy of focusing their attention on him. Jiang Zhenlie looked at the people in the grandstand, then shifted toward the Cosmos Lineup soldiers who were lined up in the air. Then his eyes swept across the tens of millions of Star Lineup and Cloud Lineup soldiers standing on the field. His

Everyone immediately looked at Jiang Zhenlie, especially the Cloud Lineup soldiers. That reaction appeared simultaneously, as if one collective awareness jolted at the same time. Everyone in the Longyuan Realm was under his command, he was always at the main headquarters, so how could their commander possibly be dead? In the hearts of each Cloud Lineup soldier, an image of their commander who always oversaw their movements from behind suddenly collapsed with the single word that had just been spoken. The silence that followed was not only because of shock, but also because a sudden sense of loss surged without warning. Some soldiers swallowed hard, trying to accept a reality that felt far too abrupt. Their shoulders stiffened, their eyes remained fixed on the main stage, yet their minds were spinning, recalling old orders, missions they had once carried out with that commander, and now all of it ended with one word. Jiang Zhenlie understood their thoughts. “He died killed by Puyangh

All soldiers immediately became uproarious, none of them believed even for a moment that the one who made the report was only a small soldier from the Star Lineup. The ripple of commotion did not appear through messy formations, but through eyes meeting one another and the rising surge of emotion within them. For the Cloud Lineup soldiers who already knew Xiao Tian’s strength, there was not much debate, but for those who did not, they could not accept this decision. According to them, if anyone deserved to replace the position of Cloud Lineup commander, it was Lingzhen, the previous vice commander. Not Xiao Tian, who was only a soldier of the Star Lineup. Even if he received a promotion, it would only be suitable for him to become the commander of the Star Lineup, not to directly leap into becoming the commander of the Cloud Lineup. That comparison continued spinning in their minds, making the chests of most Cloud Lineup soldiers feel tight with rejection. The shock spread like a

Jiang Zhenlie’s gaze sweeping across the entire field made every soldier feel a pressure that was difficult to describe. There was no aura intentionally released, but the knowledge that a single sentence of objection could end in death made even the strongest knees feel weak. Some soldiers lowered their heads deeper, while others tightened their fingers on the handles of their weapons, not to prepare for an attack, but to restrain the subtle tremor beginning to appear in their hands. “You dare object to the decision of the Ruler of the Hundun Realm? Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to oppose the decision of the Realm Ruler? What qualifications?!” Hearing Jiang Zhenlie’s question, everyone was already trembling from fear. The question did not seek an answer, but it was enough to shatter the remaining courage of anyone whose mind had momentarily wandered toward resisting the decision. His words struck like a whip, not at their bodies, but at the hearts and m

Jiang Zhenlie snorted coldly. “How is it? Is this not enough to make him the commander of the Cloud Lineup? Xiao Tian killed thirty one million two hundred thousand people when helping the troops under Huixing’s command. Added to that, he killed more than forty million in the main headquarters of the Quemo Realm’s army. With that many enemies killed, who could match his achievement? If any of you have killed more enemies than Xiao Tian, you may step forward and show the proof. I will appoint you immediately as the commander of the Cloud Lineup without needing to discuss it with the Ruler of the Hundun Realm.” Those words were not spoken hastily, yet each one came out like the final closure for anyone who wished to object to the decision of the Ruler of the Hundun Realm. The formation fell silent, not a single person moved. The silence that descended was not ordinary quiet, but the collective understanding that there was no room left for protest. Their feet remained rooted to the g

Hearing Xiao Tian’s question, almost everyone looked at him in confusion. They had never seen anyone who was not enthusiastic about receiving that position. People usually competed fiercely to obtain such a position, but the young man in front of them actually proposed a negotiation. They did not know what Xiao Tian truly wanted. For some of them, Xiao Tian’s attitude seemed like something that went beyond the mindset of most soldiers. However, not a single one of them dared to speak, they only glanced at one another with confused expressions, trying to understand the reason behind the firmness that sounded very calculated. “What do you want?” Jiang Zhenlie asked, he was curious as well. His eyes narrowed slightly, assessing Xiao Tian from head to toe, as if he wanted to see whether the request that would be made was equal to the courage to speak like that in front of him. The other commanders not far from him also paid attention, waiting for something that could explain t

Silence filled the tribunes and the entire military field area, because anything related to cultivation improvement within such a short time was not something normally spoken in front of city rulers and high commanders. Many city rulers kept staring at Xiao Tian. “That child was truly reckless. Maybe he could be like that, but that did not mean others could do the same as him.” The words flowed softly, yet contained an assessment that came from long experience watching young generations who too often measured others using the standard of themselves. Some of them furrowed their brows, understanding that such a massive improvement promise usually could only happen in legends or in historical records that served as references from the past. “Yes, he thought cultivation could be conjured at will. It sounded impressive at a glance, but it was too bold.” On the tribunes, some city rulers exchanged brief glances with one another, as if wanting to make sure that their doubts were no

Inside the restaurant, it was not only Xiao Tian’s members who were present, but many others as well, because they wanted to build a good relationship with Xiao Tian. Several groups of soldiers chose to sit not too far from Xiao Tian’s table, deliberately arranging their positions so that one day there would be a chance to speak or at least offer a greeting. Shangguan Yueyu, who hated Xiao Tian the most, was also in the room, she even intentionally searched for a table that was not too far from Xiao Tian’s table. The arrogant woman kept staring at Xiao Tian with mixed feelings, she still could not accept this reality. Xiao Tian, who had always been called a ‘clinging fly’, apparently could achieve something that high. In her heart, the words she had spoken to Xiao Tian resurfaced one by one, and the more she remembered them, the heavier the reality she had to swallow now. When Shangguan Yueyu stared at Xiao Tian, Lin Yin beside her grinned. She lightly nudged Shangguan Yueyu to w

Several other members who sat near them also glanced briefly, understanding that such good relations rarely appeared among troops who were under military pressure. “Thank you, senior Lin Yin,” Xiao Tian replied in a friendly tone. “May I sit here?” Lin Yin asked. Her eyes swept quickly toward the empty chairs around them, as if merely making sure her presence would not disturb the seating formation that had already been set. She moved with confidence, yet still maintained a politeness that was not excessive. “Senior, of course. Please sit, we could eat together,” Xiao Tian said kindly. Lin Yin did not hesitate, she immediately took a stool and sat beside Situ Yu. She was not shy, she directly took the food on the table and ate it enthusiastically. Her movements were smooth, not stiff at all, as if she had already been part of the group from the very beginning. Even though it was her first time blending with Xiao Tian and his members, she treated them like her close friends, the

“Of course I was serious! Now, which woman would not want to be your wife? You had the second greatest achievement after Xiao Tian, even the Cloud Formation Army could not be compared to you. With that achievement, I was sure there was no woman who would not want to be your wife. So how was it, did you accept my proposal,” Lin Yin said, she even blinked her eyes several times. The answer was spoken casually, yet each word drew the attention of almost the entire table in the room. Several members of Xiao Tian’s troops who sat around them held their breath, waiting for Situ Yu’s answer, as if witnessing something more interesting than the food in front of them. The woman acted as if she had no burden when saying that, it could even be said she was speaking carelessly. Yet because of that, the atmosphere at their table became far livelier than any other table. Suppressed laughter, confused expressions, and curiosity from the surrounding people made the conversation the center of the ro
