Douluo Continent: I ushered in this era

The Temple of War gave Chu Ci's company a total of 120 slots, and the company members have already been assigned to Chu Ci.

"Captain, Chu Ci. Nine specially approved personnel: Bai Tianzhe, Wang Jinxi, Zhang Yangzi, Luo Guixing, Wu Siduo, Luo Hongchen, Xu Xinning, Gao Zhen, and Luan Xiaochuan. One hundred and ten outstanding soldiers specially trained by the War God Hall." Chu Ci read the list softly, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

Chu Ci held the list and pointed to Xu Xinning's name, saying, "How come she's on the company member list too?"

Guan Yue replied easily, "She joined the War God Temple after hearing that you were a member. As a genius with a Star Crown Martial Soul, the War God Temple had no reason to refuse."

"But she comes from a prestigious family in the Star Luo Empire," Chu Ci reminded her.

Guan Yue said calmly, "Hidden clans never swear allegiance to any country."

“Well, alright.” Chu Ci was speechless, then pointed to the other two names, “What’s the deal with Gao Zhen? And who is Luan Xiaochuan? I didn’t recruit them.”

Guan Yue explained, "Although Gao Zhen wasn't recruited by you, he has a close relationship with your small group. I asked for his opinion before arranging for him to join."

"As for Luan Xiaochuan," Guan Yue casually reminded her, "you should have met him in Donghai City."

Chu Ci frowned and pondered for a long time before finally finding Luan Xiaochuan's shadow in the depths of her memory.

Chapter 207 The Nineteenth Team of the Temple of War is Established

When Chu Ci first arrived at the Donghai City Military Region, the first person he met was Luan Xiaochuan. At the time, he felt that Luan Xiaochuan was not simple, but before Chu Ci could test him, he was transferred to another place.

Unexpectedly, he was assigned to Chu Ci's company again.

“Luan Xiaochuan is not only exceptionally talented, but also possesses remarkable military skills. Having him as your deputy will greatly help you manage the company,” Guan Yue said earnestly.

Chu Ci nodded secretly. Indeed, with so many things to do, he couldn't possibly keep an eye on the company's situation all the time. Having someone with high military skills to help him manage things would make him feel much more at ease.

"Yes, Lord Guan, I will appoint Luan Xiaochuan as the deputy captain."

Seeing that Chu Ci had taken it to heart, Guan Yue nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, take another look. If there are any other questions, please raise them as well."

After carefully reviewing the document, Chu Ci pointed out another place, "Lord Guan, do you think my company's training ground can be modified?"

Guan Yue looked at Chu Ci with a puzzled expression. "Is there something wrong with this training ground? Apart from being a little small, it's just as good as the Central Army Corps' training ground."

“Hehe, it’s not bad, but I have a better idea for this training ground,” Chu Ci said.

Guan Yue's eyes showed even greater doubt. "Tell me your better idea, I'd like to hear it."

Chu Ci tentatively asked, "Did the Temple of War conduct experiments on creating independent small worlds?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Guan Yue's eyes. She was surprised that she could notice that. She then admitted, "Yes!"

"So, Lord Guan, I'd like to ask if you could give me a discarded item from the process of building the small world?" Chu Ci asked.

After pondering for a long time, Guan Yue slowly said, "Chu Ci, the technology required to build a small world is extremely advanced, and the resources it consumes are astronomical. Even the Temple of War Gods has not achieved much in this regard."

"Besides, scrapped items have quite a few problems, so I don't think you need to waste your time and energy on this."

“But I want to try,” Chu Ci said with a firm look in his eyes and a resolute tone. “I am already a Soul Emperor, and with the power of the Scales of God, there are many things I can do. Now I am fully qualified to access the most cutting-edge technology in this world.”

"Even scrap has its value. Putting aside everything else, if used properly, it can reduce the consumption of a lot of resources and is a good practice subject."

Guan Yue remained silent, leaning back slightly in her office chair, resting her chin on her hand as she pondered.

After a long silence, Guan Yue sighed, "I will arrange this matter. You are right, some technologies need to be made available to you. Someone will come to negotiate with you in a couple of days."

Guan Yue gave a wry smile. Chu Ci's growth rate far exceeded the expectations of the War God Temple, to the point that they hadn't realized that there were some things Chu Ci should learn.

Finally, Guan Yue handed a team badge to Chu Ci.

Chu Ci took it and saw that the team emblem was similar to the emblem of the Temple of War, except that it had the number nineteen engraved on it.

"The number nineteen means that this is the nineteenth team established by the Temple of War. From now on, your company will be the nineteenth team of the Temple of War," Guan Yue said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Chu Ci asked in confusion, "Has the War God Temple only had eighteen teams in all its history?"

“Well, since the establishment of the Temple of War Gods, only eighteen officially recognized and organized battle teams have been established, corresponding to the eighteen War Gods of the Temple of War Gods. The other teams are all spontaneously formed within the eighteen battle teams. The treatment they enjoy is vastly different from that of the eighteen teams recognized by the Temple of War Gods,” Guan Yue said meaningfully.

Chu Ci immediately felt the badge in his hand getting hot. Needless to say, there must be many people within the War God Temple who have reservations about Chu Ci, a Soul Emperor, holding the 19th Battle Team. His every move in the future will probably be under scrutiny, and if things go wrong, he may be impeached by the War God Temple or even the council.

"The establishment of the 19th team was done by Lao Chen against all odds. If you make a mistake, both you and Lao Chen will be criticized."

"But as the saying goes, opportunity and risk go hand in hand. If you can lead the 19th team to make a name for yourself, you will have the opportunity to enter the upper echelons of the War God Temple ahead of schedule," Guan Yue said earnestly.

"I understand, Lord Guan."

After leaving the office, Chu Ci composed herself and told Bai Tianzhe and the others the good news about the establishment of the company.

That evening, everyone gathered together as planned to discuss the matter.

"Wow, Old Chu, you've already led your troops so quickly!" Chen Xuanyu exclaimed in astonishment. Having spent many years with his grandfather in the Sea God Legion, he naturally knew how difficult it was to command an army. Especially since this company was the nineteenth battle squad recognized by the Temple of War, which showed how highly his grandfather valued it!

Luo Guixing suddenly spoke up: "Wait a minute, boss, what will happen to this company after we go back to Shrek Academy!"

"The Temple of War will send an experienced person to be my deputy captain. When I'm not here, he will be in charge of this company," Chu Ci said.

"Don't worry, those of us in the Temple of War will help keep an eye on things," Zhang Yangzi assured him, patting his chest.

"Alright, I'll give you an official position then, so don't let me down," Chu Ci joked.

A day later, Chu Ci met Luan Xiaochuan again after a long time.

"Haha, Brother Luan, long time no see." Chu Ci laughed and gave Luan Xiaochuan a big hug.

Looking at the handsome and imposing Chu Ci, whose aura was unfathomable, Luan Xiaochuan's eyes were filled with nostalgia for the past. "Yes! Come to think of it, it's been almost ten years since I met you in Donghai City."

"I never imagined that you, the little guy I brought into the Temple of War back then, would now be my leader. Life is unpredictable!"

Yes! Who can predict the future? Chu Ci was filled with mixed emotions.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the two sat down to discuss matters concerning the 19th War God Temple team.

"Captain, the composition of your team is impressive! These 110 soldiers are all promising talents selected by the War God Temple from various military regions. Although their soul power levels are generally around level 35, they are all around 18 or 19 years old, with great potential for growth and significant training value." Luan Xiaochuan exclaimed in amazement. This battle was excellent, very rewarding.

"But what about the military equipment? Will it be distributed from above?" Luan Xiaochuan asked.

Upon hearing this, Chu Ci rolled her eyes. "You should know how much pressure there is behind the establishment of the 19th Team. If military equipment is just requested from above without any of its own characteristics, it won't be able to silence public opinion."

"If that's the case, then we need to establish our own military research institute. But do you have the necessary connections?" Luan Xiaochuan asked.

Chapter 208 The Chu Ci Establishes Authority in the Army

Chu Ci said calmly, "Is the Hongchen family enough?"

"The Red Dust Family of Mingdu? You were able to summon them?" Luan Xiaochuan asked in surprise.

"Of course, Luo Hongchen in my team is the young master of the Hongchen family," Chu Ci said proudly.

After learning that Chen Xinjie had defied public opinion to establish the 19th War God Hall team for Chu Ci, the Hongchen family, persuaded by Luo Hongchen, boarded Chu Ci's ship.

"That's great! With the soul tools made by the Hongchen family as our foundation, our team's strength will definitely take a qualitative leap." Luan Xiaochuan said happily. He was increasingly grateful that he was able to come here, and following Chu Ci, his future was truly bright.

"Is that so?" Chu Ci smiled mysteriously. "The true strength of the 19th Team doesn't lie with the Hongchen Family."

"What is that?" Luan Xiaochuan asked curiously.

Don't worry, you'll see later!

Chu Ci did not answer Luan Xiaochuan's question. Instead, he stood up, straightened his custom-made 19th Team combat uniform, and said calmly.

"Let's go see our team members."

Chu Ci got up and left the office, with Luan Xiaochuan following closely behind.

Bai Tianzhe and his eight companions were waiting outside the office when Chu Ci gave them a subtle signal. They immediately understood his meaning and followed closely behind him.

A group of people, full of vigor and with brisk steps, took the elevator directly to the temporary underground training ground of the 19th team.

The 110 soldiers of the 19th Squad stood tall and straight on the training ground.

But when the soldiers saw Chu Ci and the others' youthful faces, a look of surprise and doubt appeared in their eyes.

Chu Ci's powerful spiritual energy swept over them, keenly sensing the soldiers' questions.

He then smiled slightly, and six soul rings, one purple and one black, rose up from beneath his feet in succession. The vast and boundless aura pressed down on the hearts of every soldier like a giant boulder, making it difficult for them to breathe, and their eyes were filled with deep fear.

"Tap, tap, tap," the crisp footsteps sounded particularly loud in the silent training ground. With each footstep, Chu Ci got closer and closer to the soldiers, and the pressure emanating from him became heavier and heavier.

Sweat began to trickle down the foreheads of the soldiers, their legs started to tremble, and the pressure on their bodies grew heavier and heavier.

When Chu Ci stood in front of the soldiers, the pressure that had reached the soldiers' limit suddenly disappeared, and the soldiers breathed heavily as if they had been reborn.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Chu Ci's eyes. The pressure he had just released was partly to establish his authority, and partly to simply test the physical fitness of these soldiers.

The test results only show that Guan Yue was indeed honest, and the soldiers he arranged were all very good.

Chu Ci began to introduce himself, his voice imbued with soul power, clearly reaching everyone's ears, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Chu Ci, and I am the captain of the nineteenth battle team of the War God Hall."

"You are all outstanding soldiers selected from various places. Before you were transferred to the 19th Squadron, you should have had a basic understanding of my squadron, so I won't go into too much detail. I'll just briefly state my requirements."

“I don’t care what requirements your previous army had. There’s only one rule you must follow.”

Chu Ci's sharp gaze swept over all the soldiers, and he said, word by word, "You swear to obey my orders to the death."

This team will be Chu Ci's sharpest blade in the future. He will not allow this blade to have any disloyalty; it only needs to obey his orders.

"have you understood?"

One hundred and ten soldiers shouted in unison, "Understood!"

“Very good,” Chu Ci nodded slightly and took out a list. “Next, I will divide the team into five squads to adapt to future battles and training.”

"Zhang Zhongshu, Feng Wenguang... and thirty other mecha pilots form a squad. The squad leader is Luan Xiaochuan, and the deputy leader is Gao Zhen."

"Luan Xiaochuan also serves as the deputy captain of the 19th team of the War God Hall."

Luan Xiaochuan and Gao Zhen stepped forward slowly and introduced themselves to the soldiers.

"My name is Luan Xiaochuan, I am twenty-six years old today, a level sixty-six Power Attack Soul Emperor, and I come from the East Sea Navy Legion."

"Gao Zhen, twenty years old this year, is a level 58 offensive Soul King."

Chu Ci continued reading the list, "Song Hai... and others, a total of twenty people, form a team, with Wang Jinxi as the team leader and Zhang Yangzi as the deputy team leader."

When Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi heard their names called, they perked up and stepped forward to introduce themselves.

The next grouping was similar to Wang Jinxi's team, and they were divided into three smaller teams, each with twenty people.

Luo Guixing and Wu Siduo were assigned to the same team, with the former as the team leader and the latter as the deputy team leader.

In the mortal world, Xu Xinning was assigned to a small team, with the former as the captain and the latter as the vice-captain.
