If I made you a special forces soldier, would you become a terrestrial god?

Meanwhile, in another heavily guarded military compound in Beijing...

The Gao family's dinner resembled a tactical meeting.

At the dining table, Gao Cheng stood ramrod straight, and even the way he ate his rice exuded a standard military rhythm.

Sitting opposite him was his father, Gao Aiguo, commander of the 84th Group Army of the Beijing Military Region. The gleaming stars on his shoulders complemented his imposing and dignified appearance.

"Are you getting used to things in the army?" Gao Aiguo put a piece of braised pork into his son's bowl, his tone flat and revealing no emotion.

"Reporting, sir! Everything is fine!" Gao Cheng replied instinctively, straightening his chest.

"Don't do this at home." Gao Aiguo put down his chopsticks, looking at his son who had shed his youthful naiveté and become increasingly composed, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes. "I heard you got into Kunlun?"

"Yes!" Mentioning Kunlun, Gao Cheng straightened his back even more, and his face finally showed some of the youthful vigor. "Dad, I passed all the tests, and I'm now a member of the Kunlun Brigade's core combat unit!"

"Good! Excellent!" Gao Aiguo rarely smiled, clapping his hands. "He truly is my son! He's got potential!"

Despite this, he wasn't particularly moved. In his view, no matter how mysterious Kunlun was, it was ultimately just a special unit. His son getting in was an honor, but nothing more.

However, Gao Cheng's next words dropped a bombshell into his calm mind.

"Dad, you have no idea what Kunlun is." A fanatical light gleamed in Gao Cheng's eyes. "That's not the military, it's paradise! And what we practice isn't some killing technique, it's a true divine martial arts manual!"

He began to speak at length, recounting his experiences in Kunlun, selecting some less confidential but still mind-blowing things.

From miraculous medicinal baths that cleanse the marrow and rejuvenate the meridians, to elixirs that aid rapid progress, and then to martial arts techniques capable of destroying the heavens and the earth...

Finally, he described in detail the terrifying scene of Su Chen transforming into a divine dragon and confronting the heavenly lightning during his tribulation.

Gao Aiguo initially smiled, taking it all as his son bragging.

But as he listened, his expression changed.

Looking at his son's fervent and earnest expression, and at the genuine adoration in his eyes, his heart sank deeper and deeper.

crazy.

This kid has been in that place called Kunlun for half a year. I'm afraid he's under too much pressure and has developed mental problems.

"Chengcheng..." Gao Aiguo's tone was tinged with worry, "Have you been training too hard lately? How about Dad approves a long leave for you so you can go out and relax?"

"Dad! I'm not crazy!" Gao Cheng instantly understood his father's implication and stood up anxiously. "I'm telling the truth! Kunlun's power has long exceeded your imagination!"

"Enough!" Gao Aiguo slammed his hand on the table, the sound not loud, but it made the bowls and chopsticks tremble. His face was full of disappointment and heartache. "Nonsense! What divine martial arts manual! What transformation into a dragon! I think you've read too many martial arts novels and gone mad! How could my son, Gao Aiguo's son, believe in this kind of superstitious stuff!"

"I didn't!" Gao Cheng retorted stubbornly, his neck stiffening and his face turning bright red. "If you don't believe me, I'll prove it to you right now!"

After saying that, he ignored his father's ashen face and strode into the courtyard.

In the center of the courtyard stands a four-ton Taishan stone, which his grandfather moved here to ward off evil spirits. Several strong men couldn't move it an inch.

"Dad! Look carefully!"

Gao Cheng walked to the boulder, took a deep breath, and his late-stage acquired internal energy surged into his body. The terrifying power of the seventh level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique instantly poured into his arms!

"drink!"

With a low growl, veins bulged from his neck, spreading like small snakes to his temples! His arms were muscular and knotted, like coiled dragons and crouching pythons!

"rise!"

With a roar, he pulled the four-ton boulder inch by inch from the deep mud! The ground cracked and groaned under the weight!

In the end, he managed to lift the boulder over his head! He even walked a couple of steps in the yard without changing his expression, as if he were holding a piece of foam board instead of a four-ton boulder!

Gao Aiguo had originally come out to reprimand him, but the scene before him made him swallow all his words.

He was completely frozen in place, as if he had been frozen in place by a spell.

His tiger-like eyes, which had been used to seeing thousands of troops, were now filled with nothing but endless horror!

This...this is fucking impossible?!

He knew his son's limitations best. His physical attributes were good, but his strength was definitely not top-tier. Where did this inhuman strength come from?!

"Boom!"

Gao Cheng slammed the boulder back into the ground, the entire courtyard shaking. He caught his breath, a smug smile on his face: "Dad, now, do you believe me?"

Gao Aiguo did not answer.

He walked dejectedly to the boulder, stretched out his slightly trembling hand, and touched the cold, hard stone surface again and again. He then looked down at the deep imprint on the ground, as if to confirm that this was not an absurd dream.

for a long time.

He slowly turned around, looking at his son with an incredibly complex expression, his Adam's apple bobbing as he uttered a few words with difficulty.

"Kunlun... Su Chen..."

He knew that from this moment on, his understanding of the world, of the young man named Su Chen, and of the unit called "Kunlun" would be completely overturned.

……

On the other hand, He Chenguang's life became much warmer.

Instead of going straight home, he first went to the university town to pick up his girlfriend, Lin Xiaoxiao, whom he had been longing for.

When Lin Xiaoxiao saw her boyfriend, dressed in a crisp military uniform, his figure becoming increasingly upright, and his demeanor as steady as a mountain, her beautiful eyes instantly sparkled with countless little stars.

"Chenguang! You're back!" She flew into He Chenguang's arms like a happy butterfly.

He Chenguang held the soft, warm body in his arms tightly, smelling the familiar fragrance. He felt that all the hardships he had endured over the past six months were worth it at this moment.

However, the two had barely been cuddling for five minutes when a frantic phone call came in.

He is He Chenguang's grandfather, He Baoguo.

Although the former commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region has now retired, his voice is still strong and resonant.

"You brat! You think you're all grown up now! You've gone back to the capital and don't even bother to visit your grandma first! Have you forgotten your own surname?"

"Grandpa, I was wrong, I was wrong! I just... wanted to give you and Grandma a surprise." He Chenguang quickly apologized with a smile.

"Surprised my foot! I don't care what surprise you have, right now, immediately! Take Xiaoxiao and get back here! If you don't show up within half an hour, I'll personally go to the army to pick her up, and while I'm at it, I'll break your legs!"

The phone was abruptly disconnected.

He Chenguang shrugged helplessly and gave Lin Xiaoxiao a wry smile.

Half an hour later, at the He family compound.

He Baoguo and his wife beamed with joy as they looked at their precious grandson, who was full of vigor and had brought home a beautiful granddaughter-in-law.

"Good, good! My grandson has made something of himself!" He Baoguo held He Chenguang's hand and patted it again and again, feeling very gratified.

"Grandpa, Grandma." He Chenguang took out an exquisite jade bottle from his pocket and handed it over. "This is a local specialty I brought back for you two from the army."

He opened the jade bottle and poured out two emerald green pills. A refreshing herbal fragrance instantly filled the air, invigorating anyone who smelled it.

This is precisely the simplified version of "Changchun Dan" that Su Chen specially prepared for the families of Kunlun's high-ranking officials.

"What are these?" He Baoguo looked at the two crystal-clear pills, which were obviously not ordinary, with a face full of doubt.

"This is... a health supplement specially made for our unit." He Chenguang thought for a long time before coming up with this lame excuse.

However, just as He Baoguo was about to reach out to take it, his movement suddenly stopped.

He didn't look at the pill; instead, he grabbed He Chenguang's wrist and skillfully placed two fingers on his pulse point.

Upon hearing this, the old man's smile instantly froze.

That steady, vast, surging pulse... this is definitely not the vitality an ordinary soldier should have!

He suddenly looked up, a terrifying glint flashing in his cloudy old eyes. He stared intently at his grandson, his voice low but trembling uncontrollably.

"Chenguang, tell Grandpa the truth, you...you didn't...go to that...legendary...Kunlun?"

He Chenguang was shocked. He hadn't expected his grandfather to be so well-informed.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally met his grandfather's gaze and nodded heavily.

"Okay! Okay! Okay!"

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, He Baoguo could no longer control his emotions. He suddenly stood up, looked up at the sky, and laughed loudly, his laughter filled with boundless relief and ecstasy!

"As expected of someone from the He family! Hahahaha!"

He grabbed He Chenguang, so excited he was almost incoherent, "Chenguang! This is your destiny! An incredible destiny! When you get there, you must do your best! Listen to your brigade commander's orders!"

He paused, his expression becoming more serious than ever before.

"Remember, that Su Chen... he's not just your brigade commander. At our level, there's a top-secret file about him."

The old man looked around, lowered his voice, and said, word by word.

"His code name in the file... is 'The Divine Dragon Guarding the Nation'!"

The Divine Dragon that Protects the Nation?

He Chenguang and Lin Xiaoxiao were completely stunned by their grandfather's earth-shattering words.
