Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 559 Aquaria and Chen Xinjie

Tianhai City, the headquarters of the East Sea Army.

"..."

Ye Xinglan sat cross-legged in the quiet room, her eyes closed. Although she was in a meditative state, she exuded an indescribable sharp aura.

She wore a navy blue uniform, representing her naval unit. The two bars and two stars of her lieutenant colonel rank on her shoulders gleamed brightly under the lights.

The East Navy Legion ranks fifth among the eight major legions of the Federation and second among the three major navies of the Federation, making it stronger than the North Navy Legion.

In terms of troop numbers, the East Sea Fleet did not have a significant advantage over the North Sea Fleet. However, in terms of manpower and equipment, the North Sea Fleet was far inferior, making the East Sea Fleet the elite of the elite.

The East Sea Legion is backed by the Federal War God Temple, whose power structure is extremely pure and controlled by the Federal Council.

Legion Commander Aquaria, holding the rank of General, is a true military bigwig. Rumors circulate that Legion Commander Aquaria is a member of the Sea God family and has some mysterious connection with the Vast Ocean Douluo, Chen Xinjie.

Although Ye Xinglan couldn't verify the authenticity of these messages, they undoubtedly added to the mystery surrounding the East Sea Legion.

The Eastern Navy's military regulations are simple: meritocracy. Anyone with ability is most likely to be promoted without regard to seniority. No one dares to engage in favoritism or corruption under the supervision of the Temple of War. Furthermore, the Eastern Navy is the most focused on individual combat prowess among all the Federation's armies.

Thanks to Nan Fusheng's connections, even though she and Xu Lizhi arrived almost a month late, the East Sea Fleet didn't make things too difficult for them. Of course, the difficulty of the assessment was inevitably increased a bit.

However, for the two who came from Shrek Academy's inner court, those difficulties were nothing.

Nan Fusheng kept his promise to Xu Lizhi. After Xu Lizhi signed up to join the army, he was immediately taken seriously, even more so than Ye Xinglan.

After all, the Navy was in dire need of a food-type Soul Master, so Xu Lizhi was directly awarded the rank of Major after enlisting.

Although Nan Fusheng had promised that he would be guaranteed a lieutenant position after enlisting, Xu Lizhi was still a little uneasy. However, things went more smoothly than he had expected.

Even Ye Xinglan was somewhat incredulous when she saw Xu Lizhi's military rank. The relationship between Nan Fusheng and the legion commander here might truly be extraordinary.

Xu Lizhi is considered to be the one among the Shrek Seven Devils who received the highest military rank after enlisting.

Xu Lizhi is now a lieutenant colonel in the logistics department of the East Sea Fleet.

The East China Sea Fleet really values ​​him highly. Even the instructor in charge of their tests privately told Xu Lizhi that the East China Sea Fleet hopes to mold him into a food-type Title Douluo in the future.

There are only two food-type titled Douluo on record across the entire continent, and both are over eighty years old, making it impossible for them to serve in the military.

Therefore, the East China Sea Fleet also intended to cultivate him, which moved Xu Lizhi deeply. It was the first time he had been so directly shown that he was valued.

Therefore, Xu Lizhi was even more grateful to Nan Fusheng. It was this mentor who discovered him and recommended him to the commander of the East China Sea Fleet; otherwise, he didn't know when he would have been able to make it big.

Therefore, after joining the East China Sea Fleet, Xu Lizhi trained even harder, all so as not to embarrass Nan Fusheng.

Not long ago, he performed exceptionally well in an exercise, providing his own warships with a significant boost thanks to his steamed bun martial spirit. He received the Legion's highest commendation and will be promoted to colonel in at most three months.

After that internship, Xu Lizhi became a sought-after officer by various main warships. This is why his rank rose so quickly, and he is now hailed as a rising star in the logistics department of the East China Sea Fleet.

Once Xu Lizhi's cultivation breaks through to the Soul Saint realm, he will be given even more important responsibilities.

Compared to Xu Lizhi, Ye Xinglan's path was completely different.

As a Soul Master, a seven-ring Soul Saint can already be considered a true high-level Soul Master. If she were willing to go to a small unit outside the eight major legions, it wouldn't be impossible for her to obtain the rank of Major.

But that doesn't work in the East China Sea Fleet. The East China Sea Fleet has strict requirements and already possesses a large number of strong individuals. Strength alone is not enough; sufficient combat power is also required. These two are not equivalent.

Many academically trained Soul Masters find that they can't fully utilize their skills after joining the army.

Therefore, even though she passed the assessment, the instructors only gave her the rank of lieutenant. This was only because Ye Xinglan was a Soul Saint; otherwise, they would have given her more experience.

However, after Xu Lizhi secretly handed Nan Fusheng's note to the instructor, the instructor's expression changed, and he hurriedly left. He returned a while later, and his gaze towards Ye Xinglan softened considerably.

Then he directly said that the legion commander also thought highly of Ye Xinglan, so he was willing to make an exception and appoint her as a major.

Although she didn't know exactly what had happened, Ye Xinglan was very clear that the instructor's attitude would change, obviously because he had seen the contents of that note.

"What a bastard."

Ye Xinglan opened her eyes, ending her cultivation. She had seen Nan Fusheng secretly pass the note to Xu Lizhi earlier, but she chose not to say anything.

Ye Xinglan's feelings for Nan Fusheng became increasingly complicated after those two accidents. She understood that she had actively forced Nan Fusheng into those accidents, and although Nan Fusheng had resisted, he ultimately failed.

Even so, Nan Fusheng still took away her most precious thing, so for a moment, Ye Xinglan really didn't know how to face Nan Fusheng.

"Phew, I can't think about that bastard anymore. I should think about how to increase my merits and become a colonel."

Ye Xinglan shook her head, no longer wanting to think about Nan Fusheng, because every time she thought of Nan Fusheng's face, the scenes of those two fierce battles would uncontrollably float into her mind.

Ye Xinglan is now a lieutenant colonel, a rank she earned through her own hard work.

The East Sea Legion values ​​individual martial prowess, and various competitions are held frequently within the legion. Ye Xinglan, relying on his exceptional individual strength, quickly swept three individual competitions, winning the championship consecutively, thus attracting the attention of higher-ups.

She was an exceptionally beautiful young woman, and her extraordinary combat prowess drew much more attention from the legion's higher-ups.

Not long ago, relying on her unstoppable and powerful sword intent, she defeated a Soul Douluo-level two-word Battle Armor Master, thus being promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel.

Given the Federation's delicate attitude towards Oukser, Ye Xinglan never used the power of the Tyrant Worm in the East China Sea Fleet, relying solely on his own strength to fight.

Therefore, Ye Xinglan herself was also seriously injured in that battle, but she defeated her opponent by fighting to the death. The two-word battle armor master with the rank of colonel at the Soul Douluo level actually became cowardly in the face of her final, tragic sword intent.

From that day on, Ye Xinglan also earned the nickname of Goddess of War!

"Beep beep beep".

At this moment, a device in Ye Xinglan's room suddenly went off, followed by a female voice coming from the loudspeaker, "Please come to the command room now, Lieutenant Colonel Ye Xinglan. I repeat, please come to the command room now."

"It's Major General Lucy's voice. Is there something she wants?" Ye Xinglan naturally heard the broadcast and recognized the owner of the voice.

Major General Lucy is a direct subordinate of Legion Commander Aquaria, and has been taking good care of her since she joined the East Sea Fleet.

Ye Xinglan's rapid promotion within the legion was also inseparable from the other party's guidance.

Although Ye Xinglan understood perfectly well that Major General Lucy was taking good care of her, it was probably because of the relationship between Legion Commander Aquaria and Nan Fusheng.

Even so, Ye Xinglan still held Major General Lucy in high esteem.

"I wonder what it could be?" Ye Xinglan thought to herself as she stood up. She straightened her military uniform and strode confidently toward the command room.

……

East Sea Fleet Joint Command.

The joint command was established less than half a year ago, after the North Sea Fleet, the East Sea Fleet, and the Poseidon Fleet, which ranked first in the Federation, were assembled in the East Sea.

The joint command's jurisdiction includes the three fleets and the army groups to which they belong. The total number of personnel exceeds 400,000.

The entire Douluo Federation boasts a million-strong army, including a navy of 300,000, and more than half of that navy is gathered here.

Arriving at the command room door, Ye Xinglan took a deep breath and gently knocked. Hearing a "Come in" from inside, she pushed the door open and went in.

"Nonsense! In these extraordinary times, the three navies are conducting military exercises, and their warships are undergoing continuous training and integration. How can you, as the commander of the East China Sea Fleet, abandon your post and go on vacation with a man?"

"Believe it or not, this alone is enough for me to convict you. Even if you are the commander of the East Sea Fleet, I have the right to arrest you."

As Ye Xinglan pushed open the door, a quarrel reached her ears, which surprised her.

Who dares to make such a racket here? Ye Xinglan couldn't help but look curiously toward the source of the sound.

In the command room, besides Major General Lucy who had summoned her, there were actually three other people.

One woman and two men. The woman was pure and beautiful, with long, smooth blue hair and even her pupils were azure blue. She was Aquaria, the commander of the East Navy Legion.

The remaining two men were an elderly man and a middle-aged man. They were wearing uniforms that were different from those of the East Sea Army Corps. Ye Xinglan recognized them at a glance as uniforms belonging to the Sea God Legion.

After the three major navies assembled, they would occasionally hold friendly sparring matches, so Ye Xinglan was quite familiar with the uniforms of the other two navies.

Of course, what Ye Xinglan cared about even more was the military rank on the two men. The middle-aged man had two general stars on his uniform, which meant that he was a lieutenant general.

The old man's military uniform actually had three general stars, making him a Federation general!

Chen Xinjie, the Douluo of the Vast Ocean!

Upon seeing the three generals, Ye Xinglan immediately recognized their identities.

There was no other reason than that there was only one general in the Sea God Legion, and that was Chen Xinjie, the Vast Ocean Douluo.

At this moment, the Vast Ocean Douluo seemed to be in a bad mood, as if he was angry? His aura was as deep and unfathomable as a bottomless abyss, and most of the oppressive atmosphere in the command room came from him.

Legion Commander Aquia slammed his hand on the table impatiently and sneered, "Chen Xinjie, what right do you have to interfere in my affairs? Who do you think you are? Go ahead and arrest me if you dare."

"You..." Chen Xinjie's face suddenly turned gloomy.

"Father, calm down. My sister was just saying that out of anger." At this moment, the middle-aged man next to Chen Xinjie noticed that the atmosphere seemed a bit off and immediately tried to persuade him.

After comforting his father, the middle-aged man Chen Zeyu turned to Aquia and said, "Sister, Father is getting old. I hope you can be more understanding of him sometimes."

Aquia sneered, "Ha, getting old? This old man is old in years but young in spirit. He's already quite old, and he's still thinking about his lover."

"Chen Zeyu, don't forget that when our mother died, this old man was busy with his so-called military affairs and wouldn't even let her see him one last time."

"And not long ago, when his lover died in the massive explosion in Shrek City, what kind of madness did this old man go through? I believe you, being in the Sea God Legion, should know better than I do."

"He can abandon all his so-called military duties in a heartbeat and run to Shrek City to weep and wail. How can you expect me to understand such a heartless and ungrateful person!"

"Sister..." Chen Zeyu fell silent. He knew very well that his mother's death was the reason for the estrangement between his sister and father.

On one hand is his own sister, and on the other hand is his own father. Both of them are the most important people in his life, so he is caught in the middle and can only be described as having a dilemma.

Back then, their mother and father's marriage was nothing more than a political alliance, and Chen Zeyu was well aware that his father didn't actually like his mother that much.

After his mother gave birth to his sister and him, his father chose to leave home and would only return once in a long while.

This wouldn't have been a big deal, since my sister and I both admired our father when we were little and were proud of his work.

Even though their father was unable to see their mother one last time due to work commitments when she died, neither he nor his sister held a grudge against him, since his work was indeed very important.

But after an accident, the older sister discovered that her father had always been in love with a certain woman, and that's when the rift began!

Father? Sister? Legion Commander Aquila and the Vast Ocean Douluo are actually father and daughter?!

Ye Xinglan's pupils widened rapidly, and she felt even more strongly that she shouldn't be here at this moment.

It turns out the rumors were true; Captain Aquaria really is related to the Vast Ocean Douluo. I just never expected they would be father and daughter!
