Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 708 Heavenly Soldiers Promoted to Regular Positions, Five Military Camps! (Two Chapters Combined)

“Brother Song already mastered this method last year, I’m afraid he will be able to do it this year…” Wei Xuanlang observed, making his own assessment.

Meanwhile, the halberd in Song Changming's hand was already moving.

This movement caused thunder and fire to boil over the heavens and the earth, and wind and clouds to surge from all directions.

With each step Song Changming took, his imposing presence grew, and he appeared before everyone like a colossal god.

With each step, the halberd's power increased, its weight seemingly capable of splitting this sacred mountain and earth!
All the heavenly soldiers were deeply immersed in Song Changming's battle tactics and power, and they all subconsciously held their breath, their eyelids twitched, and their heartstrings were taut.

Such a terrifying deterrent force makes their previous tactics seem like child's play in comparison.

Is this the true face of combat tactics?!
All the heavenly soldiers were greatly shocked, and many of them had the same thought in their minds.

If Song Changming's halberd were to fall on their heads, could they withstand it?

Everyone felt uneasy, secretly relieved that it was just a hypothetical situation and that Song Changming's halberd was not aimed at them.

After a short while, Song Changming felt that he had demonstrated enough, so he stopped and withdrew his battle tactics.

"You've already achieved so much in just two years, impressive!" Tian Leizi said solemnly, his eyes flashing with lightning.

"There have been new recruits with the eighth level of immortal talent in the past, but none of them have performed as well as you!"

Song Changming cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and said a few words of humility.

Tian Leizi wasn't wrong; his battle tactics had indeed achieved some success.

The panel shows that it has already reached the Lesser Stage of Mastery.

It would be virtually impossible for the other recruits to catch up with him; the gap between him and these recruits would only widen.

After the test was over, Tian Leizi announced the disbandment of the group and then drifted away.

"You're truly amazing, Brother Song! Your battle tactics are simply divine!"

"Brother Song truly has a bright future ahead of him."

"."

Praise from the heavenly soldiers poured in from all directions, and this time there were many more heavenly soldiers surrounding Song Changming than last year.

"Let's go, it's time to collect our Heavenly Blessings," Song Changming said, too lazy to go through the formalities with everyone.

"Brother Song reminded me, let's go together."

"Go together, go together."

the other side.

After the examination, the instructor, Tian Leizi, did not return to his own Lei Pavilion, nor did he rush to the reward platform to collect his heavenly reward.

Instead, they went straight to the military headquarters and met a man there.

"Hey, Tian Leizi, weren't you training your troops? What brings you here?" Qingquan said with a surprised smile.

"Perfect timing! Come and take a look at my newly acquired Twin Firearms."

In his hand, a fire-tipped spear radiated extreme heat, with flames swirling around it, as if two fire dragons were intertwined, creating a dazzling effect reminiscent of exquisite special effects.

"A top-grade magic weapon, a fine treasure." Tian Leizi recognized the extraordinary nature of the musket at a glance and nodded in approval, then asked with some confusion.

"But isn't your practice the Limitless Water Essence Mystic Method? How can you use this firearm?"

"Look at this again." Qingquan flipped his hand, which was adorned with silver armor and wrist guards, revealing a fist-sized piece of warm, smooth jade.

"Top-grade Heavenly Water Jade?" Tian Leizi raised his eyebrows, and a look of surprise finally appeared on his face.

"Qingquan, you've struck it rich!"

Qingquan's smile deepened. "It's only because it's you. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't show off like this."

Both of them were well aware of the value of the top-grade Heavenly Water Jade, which was no less than that of the superior-grade magic weapon, the firearm!

"Tell me, where did you get this from?" Tian Leizi couldn't contain his curiosity and asked directly.

The two were very close, so there was no need for them to be shy or reserved.

"I took it from a sea beast while I was with the army in the northern war against demons," Qingquan confessed without hiding anything.

A hint of smugness appeared on his face.

"I plan to forge this top-grade Heavenly Water Jade into this musket. In this way, the water and fire will be reversed, and I may be able to obtain a top-grade magic weapon, the Yin-Yang Water Dragon Spear!" Qingquan also revealed his plan.

In the mortal realm, finding such a blacksmith would be extremely difficult, but in the Celestial Court, there are countless immortals and gods.

This included many immortal masters who knew the art of forging, and Qingquan had already selected suitable candidates based on his own financial resources.

“This is quite difficult. If we fail to forge it, it would be a waste to give away such a top-quality material,” Tian Leizi said.

"It's alright. Even if the forging is subpar, it will only fall short of the top-grade spear. Compared to the original Fire-Tipped Spear, it's no weaker!"

Qingquan's statement clearly showed his great confidence in the immortal master who created the artifact.

Seeing that Qingquan had already made his plans, Tian Leizi stopped talking.

"Oh right, I haven't told you why you've come all this way?" Qingquan suddenly remembered and asked.

"Oh, it's nothing serious. Didn't you say before that your Heavenly Soldiers suffered heavy losses in the battle in the North and asked me to find some talent for you?" Tian Lei Zi then remembered the purpose of his visit.

Qingquan nodded and smiled, "For you to make a special trip here, it seems this person is no ordinary talent."

"Of course." Tian Leizi didn't keep his friends in suspense and readily told them about Song Changming's situation.

"A talent at the eighth level of immortality, with mastery of combat techniques, and yet only a new recruit who has been in heaven for two years?" Qingquan was increasingly astonished as he listened.

"And his Immortal Realm is almost complete," Tian Leizi added.

"Are you kidding me?"

"You know me."

Qingquan's eyes lit up, and he stood up immediately, saying, "You didn't reveal him to the other heavenly generals, did you?"

Tian Leizi simply smiled slightly.

"Good brother, hide him well for me, I'll go find Qu Jiang to demand him back." Qingquan laughed and went out.

Throughout the year, reserve celestial soldiers were frequently added to the celestial army.

The war against demons in the north has been raging for a long time and even shows signs of escalating. Several battles between immortals and demons have already taken place.

This is absolutely the largest and most intense battlefield between immortals and demons in the last five hundred years.

This also greatly increases the chances of the Heavenly Soldiers being promoted to regular positions.

On this day, a celestial official dressed in yellow armor and a red floral robe flew down to the barracks. After checking around, he finally locked onto the room where Song Changming was.

Clearing his throat, the celestial official read aloud.

"Summon, Heavenly Soldiers Song Changming."

Inside the barracks, Song Changming, who was still in the midst of his cultivation, was interrupted by the summons and walked out of the door with some surprise.

Upon seeing the celestial official's attire, it became immediately clear that he was a messenger from the celestial court.

Those wearing red robes are also known as "auspicious officials," who are responsible for announcing good news and are the kind of messengers that all celestial officials and soldiers are most happy to see.

Song Changming roughly understood the good news the other party wanted to tell him.

It's actually not hard to guess.

After all, for these reserve celestial soldiers, the only good news was their official entry into the Celestial Army. "This humble servant greets the Celestial Official," Song Changming said, raising his hand in a salute.

"You must be Song Changming." The messenger was broad-shouldered and had a kind face. His voice was also gentle and approachable, which was in line with his job of delivering good news.

Song Changming agreed.

"I have come here on orders to summon the Heavenly Soldier Song Changming to the Northern Celestial Army and transfer him to the Fifth Division, Ninth Melody, Tenth Branch, and Sixth Team of Heavenly Soldiers. Report there immediately and do not miss the appointed time."

The messenger shook the fat hanging from his face and read out the transfer order word by word.

As the transfer order was implemented, a ray of light fell on the jade pendant hanging at Song Changming's waist.

The identity information that appeared on it also officially changed from Northern Immortal Army Reserve to the specific subordinate unit.

In short, this celestial soldier, who had only served as a reserve officer in heaven for two years, has now been officially promoted.

The messenger's voice was clear and loud, startling the other heavenly soldiers living nearby.

Among these heavenly soldiers, there were those still in the reserve and those who had been officially appointed.

The reserve heavenly soldiers were mostly envious of this scene, while those who were officially appointed were mostly surprised.

Since Song Changming single-handedly seized the immortal energy within a radius of dozens of miles, many heavenly soldiers in the surrounding area have investigated Song Changming as a result.

They also learned that Song Changming was just a guy who had only been in the sky for two years.

Despite his extraordinary performance, they never expected that he would be promoted to a permanent position in just two years.

"Could the messenger have made a mistake?" a few veterans huddled together and whispered.

"A mistake? That's a serious crime, potentially leading to the stripping of one's celestial rank. How could there be a mistake? This kid must have powerful connections; some important figure has pulled him back!"

"Damn, I'm so envious. I spent thirty-five years in the reserves."

"Who isn't? I've lived for sixty years."

"."

"Stop talking. If this kid really has a powerful figure protecting him in the Celestial Court, we should be careful not to say anything that might cause trouble."

Upon hearing this, the heavenly soldiers fell silent.

It may be sour, but nobody wants to create trouble for themselves unnecessarily.

After finishing his business, the messenger smiled and gave Song Changming a few more glances.

"I have never seen a heavenly soldier as young as you before. When we meet again, you will probably be promoted to a general."

"Then I will take your kind words, Your Excellency," Song Changming said politely, without showing any arrogance despite his newfound official position.

"This is incredible, truly incredible!" The messenger had seen far too many celestial officials and clerks, as well as heavenly soldiers and generals like this.

Therefore, his insight was actually quite sharp.

He had high hopes for Song Changming, believing that Song Changming was no ordinary heavenly soldier and would surely become famous throughout the celestial court in the future.

The messenger exclaimed in disbelief as he rode away on a cloud.

After the messenger left, the alarmed heavenly soldiers stepped forward to offer their congratulations.

Becoming a full member of the Heavenly Soldiers was the most important thing for them at the beginning, just like finally landing on land, which was something to be congratulated on.

After returning the greeting briefly, Song Changming did not linger and went straight to the military camp.

Unlike the remote reserve camps, the real Immortal Army camps are located around the Northern Military Prefecture, totaling twenty, corresponding to the twenty military departments of the Immortal Army.

The place Song Changming was going to report to was the Fifth Military Department of the Immortal Army.

Upon first seeing the military camp where the Ministry of War was located, it was like a small square city, housing 50,000 heavenly soldiers and generals!
"Halt! What brings you here!" Outside the Ministry of War, two Heavenly Soldiers guarding the camp gate stopped Song Changming as he approached and asked him questions.

Their expressions were serious, their eyes sharp as knives, and they exuded a powerful killing intent. They were clearly seasoned veterans, and this killing intent was accumulated on the battlefield.

To avoid misunderstanding, Song Changming stated his purpose directly.

The new recruits reported for duty and showed their identification jade tokens to dispel any doubts the other party might have.

Upon seeing that their identities were correct, the two 'veterans' immediately lost all their murderous aura.

One of the gatekeepers, who appeared to be middle-aged, looked Song Changming over and over again, clearly more interested in him.

"Under Captain Li's command? That's quite a coincidence." Si Yanqing looked at the jade token, then at Song Changming, and couldn't help but think to himself, "What a coincidence."

"May I ask?" Song Changming looked at him upon hearing this.

"I am also a Heavenly Soldier under Captain Li. Just call me Si Yanqing." Si Yanqing didn't beat around the bush and stated it directly.

Si Yanqing looked relatively young, though his skin was somewhat dark and thin. He didn't act like a veteran and was quite easy to talk to.

"Brother Si, please take care of me in the future." Song Changming was quite polite to his future teammate.

"Don't worry, Captain Li is easy to talk to. Go ahead." Si Yanqing said, making way for Song Changming and pointing out the direction to the military camp.

"Thank you." Song Changming stepped into the military camp.

"He looks so young, it seems he hasn't even lived a thousand years," a gatekeeper remarked as he watched Song Changming leave.

"Hmm, he should be a talented person." Si Yanqing nodded, his eyes flickering slightly, his thoughts unreadable.

Within the five military camps, there are ten sections, each with over five thousand heavenly soldiers and a celestial general!
The army was further divided into ten divisions, each with five hundred soldiers and a commander.

The army was further divided into ten squads of heavenly soldiers, each squad consisting of fifty heavenly soldiers, with one squad leader in charge.

The team leader is considered to be the lowest-ranking celestial general in the Celestial Army.

In the military camp, Song Changming quickly found the Ninth Song he needed to report on.

It looked like a small town within a city, with a self-defined area and two heavenly soldiers guarding the gate.

Song Changming identified himself and successfully entered.

Then they found the location of the tenth army.

Outside a camp, the words "Ten Armies" are clearly visible on the tall, wide stone gate.

Inside, the immortal power surged, and Song Changming could vaguely see several groups of heavenly soldiers fighting and attacking each other, as if they were training troops. The commotion was quite significant.

However, no matter how powerful the immortal energy was, it would instantly vanish upon touching this stone gate.

Clearly, this stone gate was not only the facade of these ten armies, but also served to suppress the divine might, allowing the heavenly soldiers to train freely without affecting the camp itself.

There were also two heavenly soldiers guarding the stone gate. This time, before they could ask any questions, Song Changming took the initiative to explain.

"Sixth team, wait a moment." One of the heavenly soldiers said, and walked into the camp of the ten armies.

Soon, he brought out a celestial soldier.

This person has slightly yellowish skin and somewhat thick hair, which can be seen through the heavenly soldier armor he wears.

"My name is Tian Du. Brother Song, please come with me." The newcomer beckoned to Song Changming and said in a somewhat indifferent tone.

"Thank you for your trouble." Song Changming nodded, followed the man, and stepped through the stone gate.

The next moment, shockwaves from numerous surging immortal powers mingled and collided, crashing down in a chaotic and disorderly manner.

Tian Du glanced at Song Changming, who was following behind, out of the corner of his eye.

New recruits are usually caught off guard and injured by the magical energy emanating from this place.

However, Song Changming remained calm. Even though he needed to circulate his immortal power to protect himself, Song Changming simply withstood the shockwaves with his physical body, remaining unmoved and unfazed.
