Pursued by the Heavenly Dao, first level up in the courtyard.

Inside the bookstore, Yan Bugui stared at the class background assessment form, his knuckles turning white. The words "small business owner" weighed heavily on his heart. Gazing at the neatly stacked books in the bookstore, his face twitched, his mind filled with regret.

"If I had known earlier, I would have sold the bookstore last year and wouldn't be stuck with being a small business owner."

Yan Bugui felt increasingly regretful. He remembered that someone had offered to buy the bookstore before, but he couldn't bear to part with the books, let alone the business he had run for so many years. Now that the ownership structure had been finalized, he was filled with remorse.

Yi Zhonghai looked at his ingredient list with a broad smile on his face.

Liu Haizhong, holding his own family composition report, couldn't hide his excitement: "Old Yi, you're a worker too, right? Look at our family composition report, it clearly says 'worker'!"

Liu Haizhong waved the order form in his hand, his tone full of pride, as if he had obtained some rare treasure.

Xu Fugui was also overjoyed; he, who worked as a projectionist at the factory, was also assigned to be a worker.

He Yuzhu was overjoyed when he saw his class background.

For three generations, his family had been cooks, without any means of production, thus earning the status of three generations of hired farmers. Even though his grandfather and father had both cooked Tan family cuisine, the cooks were still cooks, and a cook who cooked Tan family cuisine was still a cook.

He Yuzhu cried out in his heart: "I! He Yuzhu! A third-generation farmer! With impeccable revolutionary credentials!"

When Liu Haizhong got home, he posted the family composition report on the wall of the main room, deliberately choosing a conspicuous spot. He stood in front of the report, looking at it again and again, the smile on his face never fading.

Liu Haizhong's wife, Chen Rong, laughed and said, "Husband, look how happy you are. You're just a worker, aren't you?"

Liu Haizhong said irritably, "You don't understand. This worker status is extremely important to our family. If I work hard at the factory, not only will I get a raise, but I won't have to put up with other people's bad temper anymore. The key is that worker status is beneficial for getting promoted."

As night fell, the snow in the northern part of the city gradually subsided, and scattered lights lit up in the alleys, radiating a touch of warmth.

Back in the courtyard house, Yan Bugui was still regretting his status as a small business owner. Looking at the lights outside the window, he was filled with envy. He envied Yi Zhonghai and the others for being workers, and He Yuzhu for having been a farmer for three generations.

The class distinctions in the city, like a mark, were etched into everyone's heart. They changed people's mindsets and their destinies. Some rushed towards the future with joy, while others strived hard with excitement...

10:00 AM, command center.

"Commander, Qi Bing has come to report for duty."

"Comrade Qi Bing, please sit down."

"Commander, it's been a long time."

"Yes, it's been a few months. How's the Special Operations Brigade doing lately?"

"Aside from fighting the enemy, we spend all our time training."

"I heard that the officers and soldiers of your special operations brigade are all practicing the Five Elements Breathing Technique?"

"Sir, you all know about this?"

"How could we not know? How did the Five Elements Breathing Technique come about?"

"I figured it out from medical books, practiced it for a while, and found it beneficial, so I promoted it in the special operations brigade."

"Can the Five Elements Breathing Technique be practiced by more officers and soldiers?"

"Yes, with someone to teach you, you can learn it quickly."

There are many versions of the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic. The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic that he obtained in the Human Dao Xuanhuang Pagoda is the most original version.

If it weren't for the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic and the Green Bag Book from the Human Dao Xuanhuang Pagoda, Qi Bing wouldn't have been able to create the Five Elements Breathing Technique.

Of course, his ability to create the Five Elements Breathing Technique is also largely due to his exceptionally high intelligence.

Perhaps the creation of the Five Elements Breathing Technique is also due to the human race system.

"Qi Bing, if I gave you a division, could you improve its combat effectiveness?"

"Sir, I am too young."

"On the battlefield, there is no distinction between age, height, or gender when it comes to killing the enemy."

"I'll do whatever the leader says."

"We've discussed transferring two-thirds of the special operations brigade's officers and soldiers... The special operations brigade will be upgraded to a special operations division, and you'll be in charge. You must lead it well; if anything happens to the special operations division, I won't let you off the hook!"

"Mission accomplished!"

In a similar war in the previous life, the Dragon Kingdom did not have a brigade-level organization. From highest to lowest, the ranks were headquarters, corps, army, division, regiment, battalion, company, platoon, and squad.

The world Qi Bing lives in is a film and television world dominated by courtyard houses, and the Xia army's organizational structure originally did not include a brigade level.

His special operations brigade was roughly equivalent to a reinforced regiment.

The three regiments' flexible and varied tactics have enabled them to repeatedly achieve victories against stronger opponents and achieve great success with limited resources. Their special operations concept has been further enhanced, and their special operations brigade, which is similar in size to a reinforced regiment, is an experimental special operations force.

During major battles, advancement is primarily based on battle merits, while the influence of other factors diminishes significantly.

Judging solely by their military achievements, Qi Bing should have been promoted long ago.

The Five Elements Breathing Technique has a significant impact. Two-thirds of the officers and soldiers of the Special Operations Brigade were transferred to various parts of the Xia Army to popularize the Five Elements Breathing Technique and teach special operations, which is conducive to enhancing overall strength.

Upgrading a special operations brigade to a special operations division is both an act of trust and a reward.

In less than a week, two-thirds of the officers and soldiers were transferred to various parts of the Xia army.

A few days later, the special operations division was reinforced with many officers and soldiers, bringing its total number to 12,000.

Special operations divisions employ a mentorship system to train newly recruited officers and soldiers.

The quality of weapons and equipment has declined? After eliminating some enemies, the weapons and equipment are upgraded.

Insufficient supplies? The enemy has plenty of supplies; just kill them and seize them.

Through constant training and combat, the special operations division has become increasingly powerful.

The coalition forces, led by the United States, have once again requested negotiations due to heavy casualties.

Large-scale confrontations have temporarily ceased, while meetings and negotiations continue, and sniper shots are fired.

Two weeks later, the negotiations failed to reach an agreement, and the war resumed.

The special operations division focuses on training, but Qi Bing, who can't stay idle, requests permission from his superiors to take action independently once again.

Having reached the Dan Jin realm in martial arts, his combat power increased many times over.

An average person can only dive for two or three minutes at most, but he can dive for more than an hour.

The diving potential of a level 10 human is ten times that of a level 1 human.

As one's own cultivation level improves, one's diving ability will also improve.

Qi Bing, who once single-handedly challenged an aircraft carrier, has decided to challenge it once again.

Acting alone without any burdens, and being active at night, he moved very quickly.

At midnight that night, Qi Bing used his dismantling skills to quietly board an aircraft carrier.

Repeating what he had done before, Qi Bing left quietly at around 4 a.m.

With a deafening explosion, an enemy aircraft carrier sank rapidly to the bottom of the sea.

Ordinary bombs are unlikely to sink an aircraft carrier. However, disassembling the hull of an aircraft carrier and then sinking it is not difficult.

Over several days, Qi Bing destroyed a total of four enemy aircraft carriers. Including the Ryder aircraft carrier he had previously taken down, he had destroyed five enemy aircraft carriers.

Siheyuan Film and Television World, 2 PM, Command Room.

"The Qi army probably killed more than 50,000 enemies."

"If nothing unexpected happens, it has already exceeded 50,000."

"Five aircraft carriers, three airports, two ports..."

"My personal suggestion is to raise the secrecy level of the Qi army to the highest level."

"I agree."

"I agree."

Qi Bing returned to the Special Operations Division and continued leading and training troops.

In his spare time, he would enter the Xuanhuang World, explore the Southern Jambudvipa, and transplant various fruits, vegetables, and grains to the area around the mountain villa.

Every morning and evening, unless he had nothing else to do, he would practice Dragon Roar Iron Shirt, Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover, and Xingyi Five Elements Fist.

After Qi Bing passed on techniques like Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) and elbow strikes to his officers and soldiers, he himself didn't practice them much.

Newspapers throughout the Xia Kingdom featured one heroic officer after another.

Because of the numerous and significant things Qi Bing had done, the level of secrecy was constantly being raised, and he never appeared in the newspapers.

The U.S. military, which had suffered heavy losses, wanted to use a large-scale firework display, but was threatened by the Red Sands and had no choice but to give up.

Qin and Chu, far away in the port city, received some information about the Qi army and felt gratified and proud.
