Chapter 650 The Military Enlistment Examination
The command center’s door opened, and Lu Yu followed the strange woman ahead of him down a corridor.
“The command center is ahead of you. Many professionals are present to monitor the surrounding area and the movements of ferocious beasts.”
“The commanders’ meeting room is upstairs, and the general in charge of the stronghold is there.”
!!
Lu Yu gave a slight nod. “Will you accompany us to the general?”
“The general is out of town for the time being. You’ll be meeting the brigadier general.”
“There is a distinction between brigadier general and general. Is that fine?”
The woman made an odd expression at Lu Yu. Typically, if an average person knew they would meet the brigadier general of base one, they would be so excited that they couldn’t express their emotions properly. Why did this man named Lu Yu appear to dislike the notion?
“Shouldn’t you have witnessed Jiang Lengyue’s strength? She’s as strong as a brigadier general in the army.”
The woman’s words enlightened Lu Yu. “He’s sure strong. For the time being, it remains at a level I can only admire but not achieve.”
“Okay, now open the door in front of you. After entering, you can speak with the brigadier general.”
She left and returned to her work after that.
“Hello, my name is Lu Yu,” Lu Yu said as he knocked on the door.
Xu Yuan, who was standing off to the side, was so ecstatic that his entire body trembled. He looked around like a curious baby as if everything was new.
“Enter. It’s not locked.”
Lu Yu entered by pushing the door open. The meeting room was small, with only a round table, five or six chairs, and three wall-mounted monitors.
When Lu Yu entered, only one person was inside.
“My name is Wang Wei, and I’m a brigadier general stationed at base one. When my superiors are away on business, I am in charge of this stronghold under normal circumstances.”
“Please take a seat.”
He motioned with his hand for Lu Yu to sit down.
Lu Yu sat down as Xu Yuan sat beside him.
“Lu Yu, right?”
He took out a document and asked while reading it.
“I’ve already introduced myself earlier,” Lu Yu replied weirdly.
“I was simply asking. I noticed from your information file that you revealed a significant event concerning the ancient ruins, which we are currently verifying.”
“This is a serious matter, so we must verify its authenticity.”
“Of course, we’ll eliminate the Truth Department in the ancient ruins. Whatever their final plan is, we’ll find a way to deal with it.”
Lu Yu gave a slight nod. “That’s great to hear. However, I must remind you that the Truth Department’s abilities in the ancient ruins have already surpassed my imagination.”
“They’ve tamed the Death Spirit Dragon, which power is unrivaled. There must be many other powerhouses among their ranks.”
“That’s true,” Wang Wei sighed, scratching his chin. “We will be exercising caution. I remember that Jiang Lengyue had fought with the Death Spirit Dragon before. She was completely powerless against it when it was just a mere soul. Their combined strength would be formidable if both body and soul joined.”
“In a nutshell, I’m not strong enough, and you’re even weaker.”
“For now, let us ignore the Truth Department, the Ember Empire, and the ancient ruins. I want to focus on your military service and subsequent visit to the ancient dragon tomb.”
Lu Yu focused when this was mentioned. This was his last chance to find his parents.
“If you join the military, you must take the standard military entrance exams to demonstrate your strength.”
“You don’t have to worry about the military department’s affairs once you join, and you can proceed to the ancient dragon tomb. I’ll unlock the teleportation gate for you. Military personnel are on the premises, and you’ll be welcomed there.”
Lu Yu gave a slight nod. “I understand. But is it really necessary for me to take this entrance exam?”
“Going to the ancient dragon tomb is not a pressing matter. Furthermore, by specifically recruiting you, we have broken many rules. Many people are already dissatisfied with this, so the least you can do is show your capabilities.”
“General Wang, wasn’t it Wan Guliu who specifically recruited Lu Yu?” Xu Yuan raised his hand and asked.
“So what if he’s Wan Guliu? He is not the emperor, and his position as Commander-in-Chief of the three armies isn’t permanent.”
“So, Commander Wan can greatly assist you, but that doesn’t mean he can do whatever he wants.”
Lu Yu gave a slight nod. “I understand. The military houses the strong, after all.”
“Very good. Following that, you should prepare for the entrance exam, as they differ between military bases. You are taking part in the base one entrance exam, so you must exercise caution around the geniuses and specialists here.”
“Does this test require us to compete on the same stage?” Lu Yu asked.
“Of course, this is the only way to see who is superior.”
“You can leave now if there is nothing else. My secretary will assist you in arranging your lodging.”
Lu Yu was about to stand up before sitting back down.
“I’ve brought along three more people. What about them…”
“They are not eligible to join the army, and being here is a privilege for you. They will be deemed new recruits if they want to join and can’t get into the base one anyway.”
Lu Yu stood up after Wang Wei finished speaking and said softly, “I understand; we’ll take our leave.”
Xu Yuan and Lu Yu exited the meeting room and stood near the door. Lu Yu turned to face Xu Yuan and asked, “Let’s start by looking for a place to stay. I don’t think the entrance exam is that immediate, right?”
Xu Yuan looked down at his phone and replied, “There are about three days left—not much time left. We should make plans.”
“Plans? Why do I need to get ready for this? This is not the first time I’ve taken part in a test like this.”
“The entrance exam for the military is different, as the tests are more brutal and bloody here. If the difference in strength is too great, no one will care if you die.”
“So, when it comes to sparring, you have to get serious. This differs from the academy, where you can simply surrender if you encounter a formidable foe.”
Lu Yu leaned against the wall momentarily, thinking before asking, “So, what do I need to do to get ready? Observe the strength of others?”
Xu Yuan took his phone from his pocket and handed it to Lu Yu.
“I’ve already discovered that this person is the strongest of the new recruits. He stands out the most, so you must exercise extreme caution when facing him.”
Lu Yu took Xu Yuan’s phone and carefully examined it. “Wang Tao, a son of a wealthy Ixdale family. He is backed by a powerful force and not business-related.”
“I have a general understanding now. This guy’s background is strong, and so is his strength. Let’s see how it goes if I run into him.”
