Chapter 3212: Chapter 3232: The Imposing Jiang Yunfeng
“Jiang, how did the team leader do it?”
Master Floating Cloud chuckled, “It is said that after Team Leader Jiang and everyone had spoken their turns, he stood up, pointed at Second Legion Commander Chen Qing, who opposed the loudest and was the most fierce, and said, ‘Don’t talk nonsense, co on, let’s fight. If I win, I will rebuild the First Corps. If I lose, the First Corps will be disbanded right here, and anyone from the Third Squad can take it away.'”
Lin Chen blinked, “Did they start fighting?”
“They did!”
Master Floating Cloud said with a laugh, “The First Corps has always been pressing down on the Second Corps. Even though the Second Corps was displeased, they couldn’t really do anything about the First Corps, so they had no choice but to swallow their pride. Now that the First Corps has disbanded, it’s the Second Corps’ chance to shine, why would they miss this opportunity?”
“If Team Leader Jiang rebuilds the First Corps, no matter the strength of the new corps, in terms of ranking, it would still be the First Corps, positioned ahead of the Second Corps.”
“Chen Qing agreed to Team Leader Jiang’s challenge because, in his view, even if Team Leader Jiang regained so strength, he wouldn’t recover much, not enough to be his match.”
“Team Leader Jiang and Chen Qing had a fight, and it is said that Chen Qing lost miserably. Team Leader Jiang even taunted Chen Qing with a phrase, causing Chen Qing to lose all face.”
Lin Chen asked with interest, “What was that?”
Master Floating Cloud, with undisguised admiration in his eyes, posed in a very bold and arrogant manner, imitating Jiang Yunfeng, “I know you’ve always wanted to take over the First Corps, but as long as I’m here, you can only ever be the second!”
Lin Chen’s eyes lit up, praising, “So dominant!”
Master Floating Cloud agreed, “Yes, extrely dominant. After Team Leader Jiang defeated Chen Qing, other legion commanders also cald down. The Hall Master imdiately approved the rebuilding of the First Corps and granted Jiang the power to select any non-active corps mber.”
Lin Chen inquired, “Does this an if a person is not an active corps mber, Team Leader Jiang can recruit them to join the First Corps?”
“Yes.”
Master Floating Cloud said with a laugh, “This power is considerable. Besides the Ten Great Corps, there are countless immortals currently participating in the war, including top-notch powerhouses. With the power to draw them in, he can recruit a sufficient number of powerful soldiers. After training them, the combat power of the First Corps will quickly recover, and regaining its glory will be easy.”
Lin Chen nodded, “It’s been a while now. How is the situation?”
Master Floating Cloud chuckled, “Team Leader Jiang has turned us, the Third Squad, into the role models for heroes, heavily promoted us and announced that the rebuilding of the First Corps will recruit soldiers who are skilled, ambitious, and brave, specifically ntioning you…”
Lin Chen couldn’t help but chuckle, “Using for publicity, huh? Did it work?”
“The effect is excellent!”
Master Floating Cloud was exhilarated, “Who coming here to the Immortal-Demon Battlefield to fight the enemies is a coward? Who doesn’t want to earn military exploits, who doesn’t want to join a more powerful corps for better treatnt?”
“As the First Corps is being rebuilt, from squadron leaders, to team leaders, down to the many deputy positions under them, everything is currently vacant. If anyone has the abilities, they can skip many steps of earning military exploits and promotions, and directly beco an officer!”
“Where else would one find such a good thing? With the news spreading, every day countless people co to sign up to join the First Corps. Even the news has spread back to various Immortal Domains; many strong individuals who had not enlisted before have now co running. It’s said that nearly 50,000 people have already been recruited.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen understood imdiately. Rebuilding the nearly dissolved First Corps provided a perfect opportunity for many capable powerhouses.
Many positions, many arrangents, as long as one is capable, one could beco an officer upon arriving—what an opportunity not to be missed!
“50,000 people, still half to go, huh.”
Master Floating Cloud replied, “Team Leader Jiang has raised the selection standards even higher, so now, fewer and fewer people are able to pass the selection criteria.”
Lin Chen understood right away. When there were no recruits, to set an example, those who first ca to participate might have been accepted and even beco officers despite lower skills.
When everyone learned of this news, and their eyes turned red as they sward from all directions, the standards could be raised, thus able to recruit stronger and better soldiers, ensuring the formidable combat power of the First Corps.
As one could imagine, as spots in the First Corps beca fewer, the standards might get higher and higher, but as long as they were not yet fully recruited, those with skills would still want to give it a try!
How could the selected soldiers’ basic combat power be poor?
Upon understanding the basic situation, Lin Chen smiled, “Now that I’ve returned, I’ll go et the commander and see what I’ll do next.”
Master Floating Cloud laughed, “You are the deputy commander. That has already been announced.”
Lin Chen wasn’t surprised, “What about the Third Squad? Will it be disbanded?”
Master Floating Cloud shook his head, “It won’t be disbanded, but temporarily, the people of the Third Squad will serve as a training team, conducting combat training for all other teams.”
Lin Chen laughed, “That’s a solution.”
Under Master Floating Cloud’s lead, Lin Chen returned to the First Corps camp located below Lion Soul Mountain.
Inside the vast camp, Lin Chen t Jiang Yunfeng.
Jiang Yunfeng was reviewing the training reports of the teams. Seeing Lin Chen coming in, a warm smile imdiately appeared on his face. He put down the Jade Slip and stood up.
“Ha ha, our hero from the First Corps is back!”
Lin Chen bowed respectfully, “Lin Chen pays respect to the team leader!”
Jiang Yunfeng ca over, patted Lin Chen, and laughed heartily, “Have you sorted out your personal matters?”
Lin Chen said with a smile, “They’re settled, though it took quite so ti. I hope the team leader will forgive .”
Jiang Yunfeng waved his hand, “You notified ahead of ti, so what fault is there? Besides, if it weren’t for you, the First Corps would have been gone. You are the great benefactor who revived the First Corps from its ashes.”
Lin Chen observed Jiang Yunfeng lively and powerfully vibrant, already restored to the imposing Mad Scholar commander Lin Chen rembered, no longer the pale and frail figure seen before.
“I heard the team leader defeated the Second Legion Commander and shook the army camp. It appears that the team leader has fully recovered. Congratulations are in order!”
Jiang Yunfeng turned his head, instructing the guards at the entrance, “You all leave, guard the door, and allow no one to enter.”
The guards all exited, leaving just the two of them in the room.
Jiang Yunfeng proceeded to the inner room and quickly reappeared with a box in his hand, the sa Soul Nourishing Vessel that Lin Chen had handed to Jiang Yunfeng before.
Jiang Yunfeng handed the Soul Nourishing Vessel to Lin Chen, saying solemnly, “Lin Chen, you saved , and even more so, saved the First Corps. I owe you a great favor.”
