Chapter 358: Chapter 346: Choice? Insufficient Strength Is the Original Sin! Power of Ad Hoc Decision Obtained, Prepare for Battle, Depart!
Lin Zhong spoke seriously, "Eat as much as your appetite allows; don’t just stick your neck out looking for trouble. Comrades from both armies are the most valuable resources on the battlefield, and you must learn to utilize them.
"If you need higher-level military power, report it to your superiors. Unless it affects the overall situation and is not suitable for rash actions, it will be approved for you."
He looked deeply into Chu Feng’s eyes, then transmitted his voice, "I know about your parents’ situation, but when it comes to rescue missions, haste makes waste.
The Soul Hosting Pot can summon a fragment of an Evil God, but it’s not guaranteed to summon the Fire Sacrifice Evil God specifically. Even if it does, its true self may not necessarily send a False God to the Divine Realm.
I’m worried that you might act recklessly out of impulsive ardor, rushing to confront a False God head-on and ending up obliterated."
His tone was so calm it was almost indifferent as he transmitted, "There’s a saying that’s quite utilitarian and cold-blooded, and you might not like to hear it, but I must tell you:
Your survival is countless times more important to Dragon Language than the lives of your parents!
In a situation where there’s no other choice, we would sacrifice them to save your life."
"..."
Chu Feng fell silent for a long while before saying, "I understand, Commander Lin."
At that moment, what he thought was that his strength was still insufficient.
Everyone was focused on his potential, evidently because his current combat power wasn’t enough to turn the tide.
If he could rescue his parents’ souls alone, without the need for intervention from the senior warriors of both armies, he wouldn’t have been forced to make choices.
Strength is the foundation of everything!
Suddenly, he felt an intense longing for the Demons on the battlefield.
They were walking Attribute Points, the nourishment that would allow him to continue getting stronger!
...
The convoy had been driving all night, and when daylight broke the next day, it stopped in the parking lot of the Demon Extermination Army’s Far East Defense Line military district.
"Brother Zou, it’s been hard on you on this journey! Everyone, please ensure your safety when you return."
After Zou Ping completed the handover with the clerk from the Demon Extermination Army, Chu Feng shook his hand to say goodbye.
’...When you’re not on the bus, that’s when we’re safest!’
Zou Ping muttered inwardly, but responded with a smile, "Don’t worry, little brother, I wish you a triumphant start and a great victory. May you return home soon!"
He also saluted Lin Zhong, "Commander Lin, we’re going to report back on our mission now."
At that moment, he didn’t know that their Prison Warden had already been slain without a trace by Chu Feng, and they couldn’t even find who to report the mission to.
Not only him, currently the only ones aware of Zhang Ming’s demise were Lin Zhong and Chu Feng.
Even they didn’t know that Zhang Ming got involved in intercepting Chu Feng purely for personal gain, and those from both armies and the Zhang Family were completely unaware.
Recently, Zhang Ming’s whereabouts had been secretive, and people had grown accustomed to his unexplained comings and goings, so a brief period of absence wouldn’t raise any suspicions.
In contrast, quite a few people knew that Lin Zonghong intended to intercept Chu Feng. If they couldn’t contact him after a while, it was likely to lead to complications.
Of course, Lin Zhong had already prepared himself mentally, whether people from the Lin Family or the Zhang Family would come knocking, he was ready to deal with them.
Meet the enemy head-on; cover earth with wood. It’s no big deal.
Those who attempt to ambush Lin Zhong dare to justify themselves?
This is my territory; no one holds sway here!
...
Lin Zhong returned the salute to Zou Ping, "You all have your duties, I won’t hold you up. Logistics, refill their fuel, and give them supplies!"
Then he grabbed Chu Feng, who was trying to sneak away, and scoffed, "Where do you think you’re going? Go to the warehouse and hunt for treasures properly. Otherwise, I’ll have you in solitary confinement, starving for three days with no meals!"
Chu Feng wailed, "Commander Lin, you’ve got to give us a chance to catch up on some sleep, right? After all that fighting and then a whole night on the train, I’m exhausted!"
"Military orders are absolute! Once you’re on the front lines, do you think those demons will let you catch up on sleep? Cut the crap and roll up your sleeves to work in the warehouse!"
"..."
...
"Commander Lin is so magnanimous, long live Commander Lin!"
Before Chu Feng was dragged into the warehouse, he had the dead-eyed look of a fish, with no motivation whatsoever, but when he came out, his arms were full of books, and he was smiling so wide he could hardly close his mouth.
Although he didn’t find another Ancient Taoist Device in the warehouse, he managed to discover a second Soul Hosting Device in a corner.
Lin Zhong was quite satisfied with this outcome and let Chu Feng make a request.
Chu Feng tentatively asked for a few Ultimate Skills, and Lin Zhong, with a grand gesture, generously gave him five Human Rank Ultimate Skills... photocopies.
With a good deal in hand, naturally, Chu Feng began to work with gusto, which is why there was a complete 180-degree turn in his attitude.
With this, excluding one that he had already used, he now had a total of nineteen compatible Human Rank Ultimate Skills, enough to raise his rank by one level!
"The Ultimate Skills are enough, but my Attribute Points have dropped to zero, it’s time to head out and give those demons some trouble."
Chu Feng stored the Ultimate Skills into his Grotto Heaven and went to find Lin Zhong.
...
"Hmm? In such a hurry? Not resting for a day?" Lin Zhong looked at Chu Feng in surprise. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
"No rest for me, every time I think about the demons lording over the lands of the Human Race, I can’t wait to head straight to the front lines and annihilate them to the last!"
Chu Feng declared righteously.
"Heh..." Lin Zhong tossed the pen in his hand on the desk and rolled his eyes, "Stop with your croaking here like a bloated toad.
"But since you want to go, then go. Whatever you need, go ask the logistics officer."
He tapped a few times on the information terminal and said, "I’ve given you access to resources including military maps; if you can’t read or use them, go learn. Once you’ve learned, then you can leave!
"Additionally, I’m assigning you a scouting battalion identity and granting you the Power of Ad Hoc Decision."
Chu Feng suddenly realized; that’s right, he was here to sweep the demon hordes. He couldn’t just rely on luck like last time; he needed to make good use of the Demon Elimination Army’s intelligence.
When it came to identifying maps, he seemed to recall only learning the basics in high school, so this was indeed something he needed to seriously brush up on!
Lin Zhong nodded and said sternly, "However, remember the three rules! Report to me daily, don’t cause a disaster, and don’t overestimate yourself!"
Chu Feng got up with a smile and saluted, "Please rest assured, Commander Lin, your subordinate vows not to return until the demons are broken!"
Lin Zhong’s eyelids twitched on hearing that, and he almost kicked Chu Feng out, swearing, "If you’re broken, you’d better crawl back to me!"
The rest of his sentence he swallowed back down: Otherwise the old fogeys of the Academy Alliance are going to tear me apart!
"Yes! I guarantee to complete the mission!" Chu Feng ran off in a panic.
...
Chu Feng found Commander Lin’s secretary, Xiao Wang, and pestered him to teach him common military knowledge for the rest of the afternoon.
This included how to read military maps, how to determine direction, how to identify friendlies, how to disseminate toxins at specific locations, and how to maximize the impact of the explosives at hand, among other things.
Thanks to his almost inhuman spiritual power and the resulting superhuman memory, Chu Feng was able to learn in one afternoon most of the things that soldiers would take a year to grasp.
"Everything’s ready, Attribute Points, here I come!"
After topping up his food and water supplies from the logistics department, and almost scaring the logistics officer silly with the mountain of secret weapons, Chu Feng, dressed in a dusty summer training uniform and alone, set off on the road.
