Chapter 203: You Are Too Awesome (1) (Part one)
– South Island –
At a research base, a 30-or-so man in a buzz-cut stood in front of the wall with a remote control in hand. On the wall was the projected screen of a man’s information and photos.
By the table sat 5 elders. They each had a folder in their hands, a portfolio to be exact.
After the buzz-cut man waited for them to finish reading, he opened his mouth, “I feel that this man can join the Dragon Division.”
One of the elders laid down the folder and said, “This Xu Cheng was supposed to come, but didn’t the dangerous genetic fluid that he was injected with cause his body to deteriorate? Yun Zheng, wasn’t this guy eliminated?”
The man with the buzz-cut was called Yun Zheng, and he said confidently, “Elders, please believe me. After those researchers checked his body and let him go, I was responsible for observing him. For the past 6 months, this man not only survived, but from his actions and judgment, it can be seen that this man is very smart and capable. I think he can be admitted into the Dragon Division for further training.”
One of the elders spoke, “Tell us more about this man.”
Yun Zheng nodded. “I’ve compiled a report of what happened after he went to Shangcheng. There’s a complete narrative on the fifth page.”
The five elders flipped to the fifth page and slightly frowned.
One of the elders directly asked Yun Zheng, “I don’t want to know anything else, I just want to ask, for the past 6 months that you have been following him, did he notice you?”
Yun Zheng paused for a moment, and then he shook his head. “No.”
The five elders exchanged a look, and then they all stood up impatiently and got ready to leave.
Yun Zheng got nervous right away. “Elders, please listen to me.”
An elder turned around and said to him, “He didn’t even notice you tailing him, I can only imagine how his comprehensive ability isn’t very strong. Besides, he’s already 25, right? This age isn’t within the range the Dragon Division trains at. His upper limits has already been determined.”
“Elder Zhang, I really think this Xu Cheng guy has great potential!”
“Alright.” Elder Zhang waved his hand. “You should know what kind of organization the Dragon Division is. Deciding on who to join can’t be based on emotions but a comprehensive examination. Now, you pulled someone out from a list of disqualified candidates, the organization has no choice but to suspect whether your emotions are getting in the way of your judgment.”
Yun Zheng: “It didn’t.”
“Yun Zheng, you know the Dragon Division’s positioning and what kind of organization we are. We need to have a scale in our heart, and if one day our aim is shaken, then the Dragon Division will be in great danger. So, we don’t tolerate any selfishness in our work, do you understand what I mean? You are the manager that’s responsible for finding and delivering the talents here, and you must take it seriously instead of just sending anyone here.”
Yun Zheng bitterly smiled. “I, of course, understand, and that’s why I waited for half a year to overthrow this list and recommend this person to join us.”
Elder Zhang: “Alright, Xu Cheng was already disqualified for not meeting the comprehensive ability examination. There’s no need to say anything more.”
Then, he was about to leave as well.

Yun Zheng looked at his back and begged, “We can’t even enlist him into the logistics team?”
Elder Zhang stopped and turned around to look at him and said, “No, he already got disqualified when we initially a.s.sessed him, and don’t you forget, he’s the son of the Ye Family’s princess. Our organization doesn’t take descendants of clans.”
Yun Zheng: “But it will be impossible for him to return to the Ye Clan. His father died because of the Ye Clan, so in principle, he won’t ever work for them. I feel that the five elders are all discriminating against him for his background. You all saw that his achievements in the past six months is very satisfactory, shouldn’t we give such a hardworking person a chance? We should also give our Dragon Division a chance, he might be the one that can save and extend the foundation of the Dragon Division.”
Elder Zhang: “Strictly speaking, there’s still clan blood inside his veins, and that’s something that can’t be changed. According to the rules, he’s outside the scope of consideration. You don’t need to say anymore. I see that you are in a rush to accomplish something. If you are too tired, you should rest for a period of time and not force yourself.”
Then, Elder Zhang left, leaving only Yun Zheng standing by the office door, holding a pile of information on Xu Cheng’s accomplishments over the past six months.
After the five elders completely disappeared, another man of similar age as Yun Zheng came over and asked, “Brother Yun Zheng, how was it? Did the five elders approve?”
Yun Zheng shook his head. He leaned against the wall and said, “The proposal was rejected, just because Xu Cheng’s related to the leader of the Ye Clan. Even though the Ye Clan’s responsible for the death of Xu Cheng’s father, they still won’t let him into the Dragon Division.”
The man sighed. He patted Yun Zheng’s shoulder and said, “Understand the five elders. The Dragon Division isn’t like before anymore, and if we were to recruit Xu Cheng recklessly and the Ye Clan finds out about it, there will bound to be conflicts. At a critical time like this, it’s best to not make new enemies.”
“The Dragon Division wasn’t like this before. When our division master was at his prime, who dared to argue to the Dragon Division?” Yun Zheng closed his eyes and said helplessly, “I also knew this would likely happen. But I just feel that if the Dragon Division doesn’t absorb enough talents to consolidate its foundation, this organization will lose its edge and be removed sooner or later. The division master doesn’t have much more time, and if he’s gone, I don’t think the five elders will be enough to suppress all the enemies we have. By then, I don’t know if the Dragon Division will be removed from history. I’m also doing this for the sake of the Dragon Division. Right now, inside the division, none of the 54 cards are capable of inheriting the division leader’s legacy. How can I not feel worried?”
“Then let’s try and find someone else. Isn’t there just a week left until the 36 Army Compet.i.tion? We will look over there.”
Yun Zheng nodded. “That will be the only way.”
