“Ah~” Zhao Zijiang also lay back, no longer sad or depressed. He finally smiled happily, although clear tears were still flowing down his face. Jiang Xiao could clearly see that his expression was so happy...

“Hahahaha!”

“Oh ho~ Pi God is mighty!”

“I’m dying of laughter, who brought a phone? Quick, take a picture!”

At this moment, a group of Reclamation Phase II students passed by on the track...

Song Chunxi raised her eyebrows and shouted, “Run! Aren’t you tired enough!? Accelerate!”

Jiang Xiao also felt that Song Chunxi was being too nice to these kids, although... well, these kids were all a year or two older than Jiang Xiao.

Back then, when Qin Wangchuan was training Jiang Xiao and Gu Shian, who had the strength to laugh? Who had the strength to take pictures? They were lucky if they didn't run themselves to death!

Seeing Song Chunxi get angry, Jiang Xiao immediately waved his hand, *shua!*

A beam of Blessing fell on the end of the line.

The running team was startled. What was going on?

Who was Pi God going to heal? How did he miss?

Jiang Xiao shouted, “Run! The last one eats poison! Run, run!”

As Jiang Xiao spoke, he waved his hands continuously, beams of Blessing falling one after another onto the rubber track.

The running formation immediately sped up a lot.

These students, who could only be called awakened ones for the time being, might not take physical punishment seriously, but they didn’t want to embarrass themselves in public. They were all young people, all prideful, who would want to be humiliated?

Song Chunxi crossed her arms in front of her chest, watching the team speed up. She nodded in satisfaction and said, “I should hire you as a teaching assistant.”

Jiang Xiao said with a smile, “You just got promoted and you already want a deputy? You’re officer material, Sister Chunxi.”

“Go.” Song Chunxi scolded Jiang Xiao with a smile, adding a gentle eye roll. Then, realizing she had revealed her personality, she quickly straightened her face and said, “You can go back now.”

Jiang Xiao chuckled, looking at the two students who had sat up on the lawn in front of him. “It’s good that you two are competing, but you’ve got the wrong goal. If you want to take my place on the team, what’s the best way to impress Qin Wangchuan?”

Zhao Zijiang and Hu Xiankang looked at each other, speechless.

Jiang Xiao said, “Defeat me! Prove that you’re more capable than me, that’s the most effective way! Then I wouldn’t be able to refuse to yield my position.”

As he spoke, Jiang Xiao’s body flickered and disappeared without a trace.

Leaving behind Zhao Zijiang and Hu Xiankang cursing under their breaths.

Defeat the World Cup one-on-one champion?

Those great Dharma Gods and War Gods were all world-class, and you beat them all until they couldn’t take care of themselves. How could two Nebula Peak support players defeat you?

Song Chunxi’s expression was annoyed. “If you curse again!”

Zhao Zijiang and Hu Kangxian quickly shut up, scrambling to their feet and catching up with the running team.

Jiang Xiao flashed back to the duty room in the administration building, only to see Qin Wangchuan’s figure.

At this time, half of Qin Wangchuan’s butt was sitting on Xia Yan’s desk, looking down at Xia Yan playing with the Zhuxiong (Bamboo Bear).

Although Qin Wangchuan was a respected reclamation soldier, it was his first time seeing a Zhuxiong in person.

After all, the bamboo forest Other Dimension Spaces were rare, and they had only been open for the past two years. Qin Wangchuan was quite interested in the Zhuxiong and had always wanted to touch it, but Xia Yan guarded it closely, and he hadn’t found an opportunity.

Han Jiangxue said, “Solved?”

“Ah, a small conflict.” Jiang Xiao said with a smile, “Instructor Qin, this appointment of yours has made some other students unhappy.”

Qin Wangchuan stood up, turned around, and looked at Jiang Xiao. “Then they should compete, that’s what they should do.”

As he spoke, Qin Wangchuan brushed past Jiang Xiao, placed a hand on Jiang Xiao’s shoulder, and gently pulled him backwards.

Jiang Xiao was puzzled. He turned around and followed him out of the duty room.

The two came to the corridor. Qin Wangchuan closed the door behind him and gestured towards the side door of the administration building. This duty room was on the westernmost side of the administration building. There was a small door there that led to a tree-lined path, which was rarely used.

Jiang Xiao frowned slightly. What was going on? Was there something that couldn’t be said in front of the Reclamation Squad that had to be communicated separately?

The two climbed over the waist-high green plant barrier and came to the tree-lined path. Qin Wangchuan stood firm, lowered his head slightly, and looked at Jiang Xiao with a serious expression.

Jiang Xiao’s heart thumped. He didn’t know what such an expression meant. He had never seen Qin Wangchuan look so solemn.

Qin Wangchuan said softly, “I have a mission for you, a rather difficult one.”

Jiang Xiao nodded gently.

Qin Wangchuan continued, “You know, since your class, the team has been very satisfied with my coaching record and is very optimistic about our experimental point. I am now the chief instructor of the Beijing Star Warrior Reclamation Apprentices, specifically responsible for delivering fresh blood to the Reclamation Army.”

Jiang Xiao’s eyes lit up. “Strong, Wangchuan.”

Qin Wangchuan glared at Jiang Xiao unhappily. Now he was calling him Wangchuan again? What was he trying to get close for?

However, Qin Wangchuan couldn’t deny that his ability to hold such a position was inseparable from Jiang Xiao, Han Jiangxue, and others.

The first batch of Reclamation Apprentices in the Beijing Star Warrior experimental point could really be described as “outstanding.” Which of these Beijing Star Warrior kids wasn’t arrogant and proud?

But even with such high-quality students, Qin Wangchuan managed to bring a bunch of influential students to the Reclamation Army. Apart from Jiang Xiao, who was half a Reclamation Army member, the other students were all genuine Reclamation Army members.

Qin Wangchuan said, “It doesn’t have as much power as you think. Those who have already graduated, like Song Chunxi, are not within my jurisdiction. I can only try to get her to be an instructor.

What I manage are these ten Reclamation Apprentice squads, as well as your first three Apprentice squads that haven’t graduated yet. Once they graduate, they are no longer my responsibility.

Your squad’s situation is a bit special. You know why you were given your certificates first, but you haven’t really graduated. You are still my soldiers.”

Jiang Xiao nodded. “That’s still very strong. The chief instructor of Beijing Star Warrior? You must continue to work hard and strive to become the head of the eight hundred thousand Imperial Guards in the future, and then your wife and children will... um... never mind, you go on.”

Qin Wangchuan suddenly felt a little dizzy, his hands trembling with anger...

Qin Wangchuan took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, and said, “Last time, when the Beijing Reclamation Army held a combat meeting, I was fortunate enough to participate. Although my rank was very low among the participants, I was, after all, in this position.”

Jiang Xiao nodded. “And then?”

Qin Wangchuan: “You are a Light Chaser, you know the situation in the Northwest, and you also know the situation in the countries bordering our country.”

Jiang Xiao’s expression became serious. “This mission isn’t in the Northwest, is it? Are you sending me to my doom? If I go to the Northwest, it won’t be three days before I’m captured by the Night Watchers. The only reason I can stand in Beijing Star Warrior now is because I’m a student, and I had an agreement with them before.”

Jiang Xiao looked troubled and said, “Even if there is an agreement, it’s useless. They can still summon me, and one phone call will get me back in the team.”

Qin Wangchuan waved his hand and said, “You know the situation in the Northwest, but you don’t know the situation in the Northeast.”

Jiang Xiao: ???

What the... I’m doing fine here at the chicken neck, and now they want me to go to the chicken butt, and now they want me to go to the chicken head?

Qin Wangchuan said seriously, “I could have been a bystander, but I know that’s not the right thing to do. I hope you can represent the Reclamation Apprentice Army and participate in this mission.”

Jiang Xiao grinned. The Reclamation Apprentice Army?

What kind of godly title was that?

It sounded like a little brother!

Could you change it to something more powerful?

Qin Wangchuan continued, “But you are, after all, a Night Watcher, and a special one at that. You are a Light Chaser. And… although you are my soldier, your ultimate positioning is in the volunteer corps. Combining these two points makes it difficult for me to give you a direct order.

As a soldier, I must be responsible for both of us. I must seek your opinion.”

Jiang Xiao scratched his head and, after a long time, squeezed out a sentence: “Upright, Wangchuan!”

Qin Wangchuan: “……”

Did he need Jiang Xiao to praise him? He was stating the ugly truth first!

Qin Wangchuan said, “If you accept this mission, you are absolutely not allowed to leave until the mission is completed. I’m not saying you’re the type to desert, I mean, if the Night Watchers summon you, you absolutely can’t abandon this mission and leave.”

Jiang Xiao nodded and said, “I can give them a heads-up, no problem.”

Qin Wangchuan was stunned for a moment and said, “No problem?”

He really didn’t expect Jiang Xiao to have so much face with the Night Watchers.

As a soldier, executing orders was his duty. If Jiang Xiao could really guarantee it, then that was the purest show of influence.

To sum it up in one sentence: I, Jiang Xiao, have people above me!

Jiang Xiao nodded and said, “If I promise you, I will definitely do it, there’s absolutely no problem with that. But I haven’t promised you yet, you haven’t said what the mission is.”

Qin Wangchuan: “The Jindalai Republic and the Kimchi Republic have divided the peninsula. There is a 38th parallel demarcation line between the two countries.”

Jiang Xiao: “Mm.”

Qin Wangchuan: “Even without war, you can imagine what the situation is like there.”

Jiang Xiao nodded as a matter of course. The grievances and entanglements between these two countries couldn’t be explained in three days and three nights.

Qin Wangchuan: “The Jindalai Republic has requested our assistance. In the area of their territory near the 38th parallel, a large number of Other Dimension Spaces are opening.”

Jiang Xiao asked, “Are they Other Dimension Space Doors, or Sacred Ruins?”

This had to be clarified, as there was a qualitative difference between the two.

Qin Wangchuan replied, “70/30, most are Space Doors, the Immortal Flower Other Dimension Space, and a small number are Sacred Ruins.”

“Mm?” Jiang Xiao’s eyes lit up. The Immortal Flower Space? The Di Jin Zhe's (Ground Rose User’s) space?

Jiang Xiao asked uncertainly, “Although our relationship with the Jindalai Republic seems good, are they the type of country to ask for help? I always thought they were especially tough.”

Qin Wangchuan continued, “Because they can’t hold on anymore. The Jindalai Republic also requires that the troops executing this mission be limited to 20 teams, and everyone must be registered. The country has assigned this task to the most elite teams, namely the Northern Reclamation Army and the Beijing Reclamation Army.”

Jiang Xiao curled his lips in disdain. “They’re spoiled, aren’t they? Asking for help and making demands? Let them fend for themselves.”

Qin Wangchuan said solemnly, “That’s the problem. We can’t let them fend for themselves. We can’t even allow any problems to occur in this country. You can think about the specifics yourself, I won’t elaborate. Let’s talk about the main points now.”

Jiang Xiao nodded. “Go ahead.”

Qin Wangchuan spat out one word at a time: “Two countries, two armies, a military demarcation line.

The people on that peninsula are of the same race, and their appearances are difficult to distinguish.

The language system is the same, and the accents are easy to imitate, do you understand what I mean?

As these Other Dimension Spaces open in large numbers, there may be many humans with disguise-type Star Techniques.”

Jiang Xiao understood in his heart. It had been hinted at enough, he had to understand.

Qin Wangchuan continued, “On the most critical demarcation line, a large number of special Space Doors and Sacred Ruins have also opened, including two very special creatures.”

Jiang Xiao: “Mm.”

Qin Wangchuan held up one finger: “The Di Jin Zhe, it can transform into the appearance of a human.”

Qin Wangchuan held up a second finger: “The Ling Lan Zhe (Lily of the Valley User), it can cause anyone to hallucinate and enter an illusion.”

Jiang Xiao nodded.

Qin Wangchuan said softly, “Accepting this mission is equivalent to stepping into an extremely chaotic battlefield, but as long as you grasp the key points, you are there to close the Space Doors and destroy the Sacred Ruins. The disputes between the two countries are none of your business until you receive clear instructions.”

Jiang Xiao realized the seriousness of this mission and asked, “Are you sure you want me to go?”

Qin Wangchuan replied, “There’s no problem with your strength, whether the military recognizes it or the world recognizes it, there’s no doubt about that. As for why I want you to go, it’s because you represent the Reclamation Apprentice Army.”

“Mm?” Jiang Xiao seemed to hear other meanings.

Qin Wangchuan, as always, went straight to the point: “Beijing Star Warrior University is just a pilot program, and the results have been very good. The Reclamation Apprentice Army will enter one university after another in the future. I need you to represent the Reclamation Apprentice Army, make a name for yourself, and advance the progress of this project.”

Jiang Xiao said, “You became the Reclamation Instructor of Beijing Star Warrior, and now you want to be the head instructor of all Star Warrior Universities in the country?”

Qin Wangchuan didn’t hide it and said, “Whether it’s for the Reclamation Army or for the country, this project is extremely meaningful. And it is closely linked to my personal development, which is good.”

“Wangchuan, I understand.” Jiang Xiao said with a smile, “You don’t want me alone, you want me to lead a team, a pure Reclamation Apprentice team.”

Qin Wangchuan nodded and said, “The Northern Reclamation Army has 12 slots, the Beijing Reclamation Army has 8 slots, and I asked for 1 of them.”

Jiang Xiao smiled slightly, biting his lips, with an unspeakable roguishness and dash, and tilted his head towards the side door to the west: “Those few inside?”

Qin Wangchuan said, “You can pick any of the apprentices under me.”

Jiang Xiao shrugged.

Qin Wangchuan placed a hand on Jiang Xiao’s shoulder: “Little Pi, officially, this is what you and I should do, there’s nothing to say. But privately, I owe you one.”

Jiang Xiao smiled and said, “Wangchuan, pay me back now.”

Qin Wangchuan was overjoyed, Jiang Xiao had accepted the mission!

Qin Wangchuan: “How do I pay you back?”

Jiang Xiao: “Change the team name, the Reclamation Apprentice Army? That’s too weak…”

Qin Wangchuan: ???

Jiang Xiao said, “I’m killing it on the field, admired by thousands, and when people ask for my name, what am I supposed to say?”

Jiang Xiao curled his lips in disgust and said, “I, Jiang Xiao, Reclamation Apprentice?”

Qin Wangchuan: “……”

“Eh?” Jiang Xiao scratched his head, suddenly stunned, and said, “Never mind, don’t change it, it actually sounds pretty cool, huh?”
