The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

Zhang Daoxuan's tone was relaxed, even somewhat teasing.

But no one present dared to refute it.

Even Lei Batian, known for his fiery temper, was now as docile as a quail, scratching his head and chuckling sheepishly, "Um... Minister Zhang, what brings you here?"

"I heard there are a lot of good seedlings this year, so I came to take a look."

Zhang Daoxuan walked to the round table and casually pulled over a chair to sit down.

Twisting the walnuts in my hand.

"Tell me, which unlucky kid let you fight like this?"

Although he was the deputy minister of the Supreme Command, he rarely dealt with trivial matters such as specific student recruitment.

I just happened to be passing by today when I heard a lot of noise inside. I was afraid those old guys would tear the building down, so I went in to take a look.

"Minister Zhang, I didn't expect you to come."

Li Wen felt like he had seen a savior and quickly crawled out from the corner, holding the tablet and bringing it close to Zhang Daoxuan.

"He is a newly discovered genius named Gu Xu."

"Because his talent is so exceptional, the deans..."

"special?"

Zhang Daoxuan raised an eyebrow, somewhat casually: "How special can it be? We've had SS-level characters in recent years, and these old guys haven't lost their composure like this."

As he spoke, he casually took the tablet.

I didn't really take it too seriously.

In the eyes of someone at his level, the so-called S-class and SS-class are just a slightly higher starting point.

Whether they can grow stronger, whether they can survive in the cruel battlefield of the abyss.

It all depends on fate.

He looked down, his gaze casually sweeping across the screen.

"Calamity, Lord of the Old Ones... Hmm, that's quite an intimidating name."

"Summoning build? A bit weak in the early game, but if..."

His voice suddenly stopped.

The hand that was fiddling with the walnuts suddenly stopped.

His eyes, which had been half-closed, suddenly snapped open in that instant.

[Conceptual Level: Immune to All Damage]

[Conceptual Level: Infinite Resurrection]

"Snap!"

A crisp sound.

The two top-quality jade walnuts that Zhang Daoxuan had been handling for over a decade suddenly appeared at this moment.

He instinctively crushed it into powder!

Glistening powder dripped through his fingers.

But he was completely unaware.

At this moment, this Deputy Minister of the Imperial Supreme Command remained unfazed even if Mount Tai collapsed before him.

A look of shock appeared on his face.

"Conceptual level..."

"In this world... there really are people who can awaken to the Conceptual level?!"

Zhang Daoxuan rubbed the remaining jade walnut powder on his fingers.

As the second-in-command of the Empire's Supreme Command, he was not only a ninth-tier powerhouse.

It is also one of the brains of this massive war machine.

He understood better than anyone the weighty significance behind the words "conceptual level".

The deans of these colleges present may be seeing a peerless genius, a seeded player who can win the championship in the future All-College Job Change League, or a prodigy who can break dungeon records.

But in Zhang Daoxuan's eyes, Gu Xu's data represented strategic deterrence.

It represents an absolute force capable of disrupting the balance.

Immunity to all harm means that as long as the so-called "ghost bride" is present, Gu Xu is invincible.

In this chaotic and dangerous world, survival is the biggest challenge, but for Gu Xu, this challenge seems to be non-existent.

Not to mention the aura of "forced weakening".

This is practically a meat grinder-like bug in large-scale battles.

This level of capability would be a huge waste of resources, or even a security risk, in any university, even a university like Divine Revelation University.

Schools are places for teaching and nurturing students; they are like greenhouses.

Gu Xu's profession is inherently tinged with bloodshed and calamity.

He was born for destruction and war.

Zhang Daoxuan slowly raised his head, his eyes sweeping over the people around the round table.

Lei Batian, who had originally wanted to argue a bit, stopped when he met that gaze.

He swallowed the profanity that was on the tip of his tongue.

"Everyone,"

Zhang Daoxuan spoke calmly, his voice reaching everyone's ears: "I think you may not yet realize the seriousness of the matter."

"At the conceptual level, it involves the underlying logic of the rules."

"This cannot be cultivated by simply piling up resources and imparting theories. If such power gets out of control or goes astray, it will no longer be a blessing for the empire, but a disaster."

Murong Yun frowned, seemingly wanting to refute, but Zhang Daoxuan didn't give him the chance.

"Only an army, only the harshest battlefields, can bear such power."

"Only the Imperial Supreme Command has the qualifications and ability to guide the growth of an [Old Lord]."

Zhang Daoxuan stood up and made the final decision: "Our military will take Gu Xu."

The moment those words were spoken, the air in the conference room seemed to freeze instantly.

Lei Batian's face twitched a few times, clearly showing his great resentment.

Such a promising talent, one that you wouldn't find another like him even in the last few decades, was about to fall into someone else's hands; it felt like a piece of his heart had been ripped out.

He opened his mouth, trying to appeal to the war academy's combat traditions.

But seeing Zhang Daoxuan's expression...

In the end, he slumped back down and sat down dejectedly.

Gu Shanhe also sighed.

Despite his high position, he was not adept at making decisions at the national strategic level.

Even the University of Divine Revelation had to concede.

The Imperial Supreme Command, or Military Command for short, is not only the highest-level military institution, but also the strongest line of defense for the Empire against the Abyss and against alien races. They possess the highest authority to mobilize troops.

"Minister Zhang..."

Gu Shanhe put down his teacup, his tone somewhat bitter: "Since you've already spoken, what else can we old bones say? We just hope... we won't let this child perish in a too cruel place."

"Rest assured, the Supreme Command knows better than you how to hone a peerless sword."

Zhang Daoxuan replied calmly.

The other deans looked at each other, their faces filled with pain and regret, but none of them dared to say another word.

This is the ironclad rule of the Divine Xia Empire: everything for survival, everything for war.

When the machine of the Supreme Command begins to operate.

All educational institutions must cooperate unconditionally.

Zhang Daoxuan didn't glance at those dejected bigwigs again.

He straightened his collar, turned and walked out of the conference room.

Secretary Chen Yang, who had been waiting outside the door, immediately followed.

He is also a high-level professional who has handled countless confidential documents in his daily work.

But at that moment, he noticed that the minister's mood was a little off.

"Minister, is it settled then?"

Chen Yang quickened his pace, catching up to Zhang Daoxuan about half a body length to him, and asked in a low voice, "Will those deans agree?"

"They have no choice but to agree."

Zhang Daoxuan continued walking and casually handed the tablet to Chen Yang: "Take a look for yourself. Once you see it, you'll understand why I have to take him away."

Chen Yang took the tablet and his gaze fell on the screen.

At first, his expression was relatively calm. After all, as the secretary of the deputy minister of the Supreme Command, what kind of big scene hadn't he seen?

But as his finger slid across the screen, the expression on his face started to look a little off.

"This...this data..."

"Immune to damage? Infinite resurrections?"

"Minister, is there anything wrong with this data?"

"The principal of Tianqi No. 3 Middle School swears on his life, it can't be wrong."

Zhang Daoxuan stopped and turned around to look at his capable subordinate's flustered state. He smiled slightly and said, "Now you understand, right?"

"This kid is like a nuclear bomb without a fuse."

"Put him in a school? What can those old pedants teach him besides how to write papers?"

"If he gets upset in the school cafeteria one day and lets that strange bride out for a stroll, a few deaths are a minor matter. But if it causes panic or even leads to infiltration and subversion by alien races, that would be a huge disaster."

Chen Yang took a deep breath and caught up with Zhang Daoxuan's pace again, his brain starting to work at high speed.

"Indeed, this level of capability is only safe to be placed within our military."

But as soon as he finished speaking, his brows furrowed again, revealing a hint of difficulty: "But Minister, we've managed to secure the man, but he's a hot potato. Where should we assign him?"

This is indeed a big problem.

The Supreme Command comprises eighteen corps, each with its own characteristics and garrison area.

The legion names are as follows: Azure Dragon (1), Vermilion Bird (2), White Tiger (3), Black Tortoise (4), Taotie (5), Qiongqi (6), Zhulong (7), Yinglei (8), Baxia (9), Ziwei (10), Tianhe (11), Jiuxiao (12), Xuanyuan (13), Donghuang (14), Zhurong (15), Gonggong (16), War Soul (17), God Slayer (18)!

"The Azure Dragon Army?"

Chen Yang tentatively asked, "That's our trump card, with the most resources and a multitude of powerful individuals. It should be able to keep this kid in check."

Zhang Daoxuan shook his head: "No way. Those guys in the Azure Dragon Army are arrogant and conceited beyond measure."

"Gu Xu's profession is clearly that of a lone wolf. If he goes there, he will either be ostracized or cause chaos in the Azure Dragon Army."

"Moreover, the Azure Dragon Army is too orthodox and has too many rules, which may not be suitable for this kind of 'unorthodox' profession."

"Then... the White Tiger Army? They excel at positional warfare and are exactly lacking strong meat shields."

"That won't work either."

Zhang Daoxuan rejected the idea again: "The White Tiger Army is too conservative. This kid's summoned creature is extraordinary! Just from its name, you can tell it needs to be in chaos and slaughter to grow stronger quickly."

"To leave him in the field as target practice would be a terrible waste."
