Upon hearing this, Jiang Wuyuan paused slightly in his action of putting food into his mouth.
The underlings were still echoing him, but Jiang Wuyuan had lost all interest in listening.
Huo Ling was inferior in skill, so he wouldn't say much.
But this kind of sweeping generalization is always disliked.
Moreover, Jiang Wuyuan was in his prime, a young and impetuous age.
Jiang Wuyuan hadn't flaunted his strength before because it wasn't necessary, but now that someone was attacking a freshman, he wasn't so shameless as to lose even that much pride.
Martial Arts Stage.
A look of determination flashed in Jiang Wuyuan's eyes.
——
Although he had decided on his goals for the next period of time, Jiang Wuyuan was not in a hurry.
After all, what Huo Ling said was true—the Zhan Tian Academy has many outstanding talents.
Thinking of the rewards Professor Wu Zhihuai had promised him and the military merit points allocated by the military, Jiang Wuyuan decided to improve his strength and then go to the martial arts arena to compete for rankings.
Thinking this, Jiang Wuyuan walked towards the direction of the cultivation technique pavilion after finishing his lunch.
This time, he didn't ask the sword spirit for help, but instead searched for the skill scrolls himself.
When Jiang Wuyuan came here for the second time, he was no longer as confused as he had been the first time.
Soon, a scroll caught Jiang Wuyuan's attention.
High-grade Earth-rank sword skill - Azure Sea Overlapping Waves Slash.
Summon sword energy to form waves. There are nine layers of sword waves, with a huge range, and each layer deals more damage than the last.
This is a true area-of-effect sword technique, and it's a skill that Jiang Wuyuan feels he lacks.
To put it bluntly, his only area-of-effect attack skill is the Sword Control Technique. As for One Leaf Breeze, although it can leave sword marks on many enemies, with his current strength, doing so would actually lead to damage sharing, making the damage received by each enemy extremely limited.
Jiang Wuyuan did not hesitate for long before accepting the scroll.
When Jiang Wuyuan took out his student card to pay for the credits, he saw the word "free" on the machine, which meant that Professor Wu Zhihuai had already spoken to the higher-ups.
Jiang Wuyuan was satisfied with the efficiency of the Battle Heaven Academy.
He carefully put away the copy of the scroll, left the cultivation technique pavilion, summoned his flying sword, and rode it away from the Battle Heaven Academy.
Next stop, the military headquarters.
The military headquarters of Zhantian City is located in the southeast corner of the city.
There are few residential areas nearby, making it very quiet and deserted.
Jiang Wuyuan leaped off his flying sword and landed at the entrance of the camp, without forcing his way in.
The sentry standing guard at the gate saw him and asked, "Who goes there?"
“I am a student of Zhan Tian Academy,” Jiang Wuyuan replied.
The sentry's stern and wary expression softened somewhat.
He was certainly aware of the Battle Heaven Academy's support for the Abyss front lines. They had already been informed of the rewards and were instructed not to interfere with students who had military merit points.
"Give me your student ID."
Jiang Wuyuan took out his student card and handed it to him.
The sentry swiped on the machine next to him to confirm that Jiang Wuyuan had indeed been to the Abyss Battlefield and that his name was on the reward list. Only then did he feel relieved: "It's alright, you can go in now. Someone will guide you once you're inside."
"Thank you." Jiang Wuyuan nodded to the sentry, pushed open the door, and went inside.
The buildings at the military headquarters are simple yet grand, and everything exudes cleanliness.
As soon as Jiang Wuyuan entered the hall, he saw a woman wearing the rank of second lieutenant walking towards him.
The woman had an ordinary appearance, short hair that reached her ears, and looked very young. Every move she made exuded a heroic and capable air.
"Hello, classmate." Zhu Shaoting stopped in front of Jiang Wuyuan. "Are you here to collect your military merit points?"
"Yes, Second Lieutenant." Jiang Wuyuan nodded.
"Okay, come with me." Zhu Shaoting turned and led the way.
He led Jiang Wuyuan to a registration room and displayed a blue screen in front of him.
“Military merit points will be stored in a special card. In the military, this card is usually a soldier's ID or officer's ID. But as a student, you are not yet a member of the military, so you need to apply for a certificate for non-military personnel. At that time, the military merit points will be directly deposited into this card.”
As Zhu Shaoting spoke, she gestured for Jiang Wuyuan to carefully examine the screen in front of him. "These are some rules and regulations that need to be followed when joining the military as an unofficial member. If you have no objections after reading them, you can put your handprint on them directly."
Once your handprint is recorded, it means you agree to these rules.
If you violate this rule, the military also has the right to take military law against you.
But don't worry, the requirements are quite lenient. For example, the rule against changing nationality is something that almost no one will violate.
Jiang Wuyuan nodded, carefully read through all the rules and regulations on the screen, and memorized them.
After confirming that there were no problems, he raised his hand and pressed a fingerprint on the screen.
Zhu Shaoting put away the screen, operated the machine for a while, took out a card and handed it to him: "This is your temporary staff card. It is used in the same way as your student card. Keep it safe."
Jiang Wuyuan accepted the gift with both hands: "Can I exchange it for items now?"
“Of course,” Zhu Shaoting replied. “The exchange items are in another place, so I won’t go in with you.”
Once you enter, you will see many machines.
You can use any machine. Simply place your ID in the machine's recognition area, and then the machine will search for and redeem what you need.
Zhu Shaoting glanced at Jiang Wuyuan and said, "Don't spend recklessly. You can first take a look at what you can exchange for with your current privileges. If there are any good items you need, you can wait until you accumulate more military merit points before exchanging for them."
Although military merit points are hard to come by, they are relatively easy for students at Zhan Tian Academy to obtain.
