"This was a really good start. The defense held firm the whole time, and we didn't even have to use our prepared backup plan."

"Even so, we must not be careless, the beast tide has only just begun."

Lu Xingchuan sat in the head seat, looking at the battle report, a smile appearing in his eyes.

To wipe out the enemy's vanguard with extremely low casualties is a very good start.

"We'll have an extra meal tonight! Everyone should have a good meal!" Lu Xingchuan waved his hand, then turned his gaze to someone beside him, "How's the main force of the beast tide doing?"

"It will arrive in about a day and a half."

This timing was still within Lu Xingchuan's expectations. He looked up and glanced around at the generals, who were all very pleased with their initial success: "Did you all hear that? Our test will only begin a day and a half from now. During this time, there must be no slackening! Anyone found violating military discipline will be severely punished!"

This was mainly to prevent his soldiers from becoming complacent and overconfident.

"Yes!" The generals quickly straightened up and replied.

——

News of the victory reached the border even faster than Jiang Wuyuan's army.

When Jiang Wuyuan and his group returned to their tent, they saw many students looking at them with admiration.

"Amazing! Dawnbreaker and Shadow Hunting Group!"

"Yes, we won the first battle!"

"Look at Ye Lang, the leader of the Shadow Hunting Group. He looks so handsome."

"Ruan Kongyin is also very handsome. He is one of the people who have been on the list of the most handsome students in our Zhantian Academy for many years."

"Hey, did you guys notice that guy behind Ruan? I've never seen such a handsome junior before!"

"Huh? This classmate? I think I've seen him before... at the Blood Burning Tower."

"Hey, you must have met a lot of people."

"You'll never forget someone this handsome after just one meeting!"

The students who come here are basically people who are keen to go to war.

Because it was only a small battle, not many people were sent from above, and most students were not assigned to this mission.

Now that Ruan Kongyin and his group have returned victorious, they will naturally attract everyone's attention.

Jiang Wuyuan completely ignored the stares and walked back to his bed.

He also suffered some minor injuries, but repeatedly exhausting his own vital energy made Jiang Wuyuan feel even more tired.

Although the power accumulated within his body showed signs of breaking through again.

"Go and rest for a while. We'll call you when it's time to eat." Ruan Kongyin patted Jiang Wuyuan on the back.

Xu Angran also pushed Jiang Wuyuan to the bedside: "Go to sleep, we'll keep an eye on them and make sure they keep quiet."

Jiang Wuyuan did not refuse their kindness and lay down with their help, saying, "Call me if you need anything."

"What could possibly happen? Go to sleep." Qin Tianan curled his lip.

Fang Miao smiled gently at Jiang Wuyuan.

They had all witnessed Jiang Wuyuan's strength. He was truly exhausted this time. With his early-stage Grand Martial Master cultivation, he had been traveling with them all the way, always at the forefront of the battle. It was indeed hard work.

Seeing that the person had closed their eyes, Ruan Kongyin and the others quietly packed their things around them.

"I wonder if our achievements this time will be converted into military points or academic credits," Si Kai whispered. "I wish it were academic credits. I'm just a little short of academic credits to exchange for that Tier 5 shield I've always wanted to buy!"

"Don't put on that short-sighted act." Qin Tianan rolled his eyes. "Do you know how hard it is to obtain military merit points? People like us who aren't in the military basically only have the opportunity to get them during wartime. And the things you can exchange for with military merit points are definitely of a higher grade than what you can exchange for at Zhan Tian Academy."

Si Kai clicked his tongue, but didn't say anything more.

“Tianan is right,” Ruan Kongyin smiled. “Military merit points are very valuable to us, so it’s good to gain some.”

"So, once we have military merit points, can we use them to exchange for things?" Fang Miao asked softly.

“We don’t have enough permissions, but exchanging some ordinary items shouldn’t be a problem. Only by continuously improving our permissions can we access the truly core things,” Ruan Kongyin said, a glint of light flashing in his eyes that went unnoticed by anyone.

He learned about many secrets that ordinary people could never access, only by chance mentioning them to his elders.

Some extremely rare natural treasures are controlled by the state and can only be accessed by people who have made significant contributions or hold extremely high positions.

"Whatever it is, this battle is definitely not something we fought for nothing." Xu Angran said coldly, his expression stern. "As long as we fight well, we will definitely be rewarded."

Everyone nodded.

Although the purpose of fighting this battle is not for the rewards later, who would complain about having too many good things?

——

In the military camp, the message that was relayed was indeed well received and implemented.

They said they'd add extra food, and they did it right away, without any pretense.

So the soldiers ate a meal that made them feel exceptionally full.

Waste is strictly prohibited in military camps, so even when the quantity is increased, it is only enough to ensure that the food can be completely consumed.

Jiang Wuyuan was too full to sleep, and since he had just woken up, he went out of the tent to take a walk outside to digest his food.

Not far from the camp, I saw Ling Hua and a group of teachers leading the team gathered together, seemingly chatting about something.

These teachers leading the teams were also among the personnel sent by Zhantian Academy to support the battlefield.

Ling Hua clearly saw Jiang Wuyuan as well. She exchanged a few words with the other teachers and quickly walked up to Jiang Wuyuan.

"Are you adjusting well?" Ling Hua was Jiang Wuyuan's homeroom teacher, and Jiang Wuyuan was the only one who came to fight in his freshman year, so she was particularly concerned. "If anything happens, you can contact me anytime. Vice Principal Ruan told me not to bother you, but you must also remember not to overexert yourself."
