Douluo Dragon King: Nine-Colored Lotus, Incinerating All Things

There are three ranks of sergeant in between: lower, middle, and upper.

Lin Jin accepted it calmly.

"very good."

Chapter 142 I will prove myself, but not to you.

Boom!

With his back to the group of high-ranking military officers below the stage, Long Tianwu patted Lin Jin's shoulder forcefully, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Lin Jin returned the smile and gave a military salute.

With that, the conferment ceremony was considered over, and the senior officers rose and left.

finally.

Only Lin Jin and Mu Xi remained in the small auditorium, along with...

Cao Dezhi and Zhang Huanyun.

"You have no complaints?"

Cao Dezhi quietly scrutinized Lin Jin, seemingly trying to find anger in him.

Lin Jin remained calm, while Mu Xi beside him showed a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.

However, he did not show it.

But Cao Dezhi and Zhang Huanyun, being at such a level, naturally saw all of this clearly.

But none of them held it against Mu Xi, pretending not to see it.

No complaints.

Lin Jin's voice was indifferent.

Faced with suppression, he will only make himself stronger, and then slap the other party in the face hard.

Instead of displaying the most useless emotion called "anger".

Originally, although he was still planning for the position of major general, he had some reservations.

The current situation has completely extinguished all his concerns.

He had already sensed from Long Tianwu's words that there was no consensus within the legion regarding the conferment of the rank of private first class.

It's just that the brick flies because of the force.

Long Tianwu was clearly on Zhang Huanyun's side.

It's quite obvious who's behind this.

Lin Jin asked himself a question.

Before joining the Blood God Legion, he had considered the current situation, but he thought it was unlikely.

Because in his heart, the Blood God Legion was indeed special, and its contributions to humanity were real.

Even if there are some underhanded dealings, they are not too obvious.

But clearly, he was still a bit naive.

The fact that Liehuo Xingjiao and Shu Huohuo were taken away by him was of great significance to the Tang Clan.

Cao Dezhi stared at Lin Jin with cold eyes for a long time.

Then he turned and left, leaving behind only a cold voice:

"If you have any grievances, keep them to yourself."

"It's not too late to complain when you've proven yourself worthy."

“I also look forward to you proving to me that you deserve what you take away.”

Obviously, the last sentence is a rehash of the fiery passion of the apricot blossoms.

Lin Jin remained calm and responded indifferently.

"I will prove myself."

"But not to you."

Cao Dezhi paused for a moment, then disappeared.

Zhang Huanyun watched all of this quietly, yet it was as if she hadn't seen anything at all.

He walked up with a smile and patted Lin Jin on the shoulder.

"As expected of someone chosen by the Palace Master, he has backbone."

Lin Jin smiled slightly.

"I am deeply grateful for Elder Chen's high regard, and I will certainly not disgrace him."

Zhang Huanyun was even more satisfied, patted Lin Jin on the shoulder again, and then said:

"That dead fish eye is just like that. This time, he's not deliberately targeting you. On the contrary, he values ​​you highly."

"It's just that we express it in different ways..."

"I've reviewed your assessment process. With your current abilities, the standard assignments for privates are indeed not suitable for you."

"So, my compromise has resulted in this outcome: you can act alone, but you need to ensure your own safety."

"Furthermore, since the Palace Master recommended you, you must already know some information about the Blood God Legion."

"Well, it's okay if you don't know. Just ask Yuxue."

"At the same time, and even more importantly..."

"Although you are not a prospective member of the Blood God Battalion, once you reach the rank of major, you will have the opportunity to challenge the Blood God."

After saying that, Zhang Huanyun left with a meaningful look in her eyes.

Lin Jin's eyes flickered.

Previously, I had been so focused on scheming for the position of Blood God, a shortcut to becoming a general, that I completely forgot about this point.

The Blood God is indeed not someone anyone can challenge!

But now, this forgotten point has been made up for.

Major...

There is a full seven ranks between him and a private first class.

It's very far away.

But in reality, it's not that far away.

At least relative to his abilities, that's the case.

As for Zhang Huanyun's statement that Cao Dezhi admired him, but only expressed it in different ways, he just gave a faint sneer.

Whether it's admiration for him or pity for the celestial-grade ferocious beast, it's obvious at a glance.

However, their forms of expression are different...

Why was Tang Wulin, whose performance was clearly inferior to his in the original timeline, able to directly obtain the position of "Second Lieutenant Staff Officer"?

Isn't it just because of his status as a disciple of the Tang Clan?

He's already at the very top, yet he still has to hide his likes and dislikes like this, which only makes him feel exhausted.

At that moment, Lin Jin suddenly felt a warmth in his palm.

Turning her head, she saw Mu Xi's slightly angry expression, which was rather adorable.

Lin Jin chuckled and teased:

"Sir, wouldn't you call this seducing a subordinate?"

"What are you saying!"

Mu Xi was taken aback, then kicked Lin Jin with a hint of embarrassment.

Lin Jin said solemnly:

"A higher rank can crush a lower rank. You're four ranks higher than me now, which means you can crush me four times over."

"Who's going to press you down!"

"Shall we switch?"

"Is this something that can be exchanged? And you're trying to put me in my place like this?!"

"Uh……"

Lin Jin suddenly realized that something was amiss with what he was saying and ended the conversation.

Of course, it was also because someone walked in.

What are you two standing there for?

Long Yuxue looked at the two of them strangely.

He then added:

"Lin Jin, your situation is special. Although you are from the same Special Operations Department as me, I cannot transfer you."

"As for Xi'er, the arrangements for you from above have already been made, which is to first accumulate experience in the rear."

"What they mean is that you should break through to the Soul King level as soon as possible, and then transfer to the front line after your cultivation has stabilized."

"In addition, military merits earned through training in the logistics department can also lead to promotions, so you don't need to worry about promotions."

Long Yuxue talked to the two of them for a long time.

After dinner, the two went back to work, leaving Lin Jin alone.

"Hey, you've been promoted to private first class right away, not bad!"

"But compared to your little girlfriend, she's not quite up to par."

Jiang Wuyue leaned closer and spoke in a cheeky tone.
