Chapter 972: Awards Ceremony

Chapter 972: Awards Ceremony


TL: GoldenLung


During the Blood Trial, Lan Xuanyu realized his own problems, but he didn"t expect to find a solution so quickly. Since he found it, of course, he worked hard and persevered.


His seclusion lasted until a notification from the academy arrived.


The Star Wars Experimental Cla.s.s was about to depart, with their destination set to the Seventh Fleet base of the Federation.


The Shrek City Aeros.p.a.ce Center.


After gathering the 33 Sky Wings, they were now standing in a row in the waiting hall, neatly arranged.


In front of them were a group of bigwigs.


From Shrek Academy, w.a.n.g Tianyu personally attended, while Tang Miao came on behalf of the Tang Sect. The military sent most people, including the Head War G.o.d of the War G.o.d"s Temple, Yu Muchen in person. Behind him, soldiers also stood in a row, each holding a tray in their hands.


At this moment, the 33 people of Lan Xuanyu’s team had already changed out of their Shrek Academy uniforms and replaced them with dark blue military uniforms. These were the standard military uniforms of the Federation fleet.


Before they set off, they were to undergo a commendation ceremony, where Admiral Yu Muchen would personally award them their military ranks.


"Jiayu, step forward for the awards ceremony!"


Jiayu, dressed in a sharp military uniform, strode forward and stood before Admiral Yu Muchen.


Admiral Yu Muchen solemnly saluted, and Jiayu quickly returned the salute. His face appeared somewhat pale, as he had slept for three full days after using Blood Sacrifice, Bloodthirsty Sea Spirits in battle. It was only thanks to the good resources provided by the School of Life and the careful treatment of healing-type soul masters that he was able to recover without causing permanent damage to his body and spirit.


Jiayu didn"t regret at all, he personally experienced the power of the Bloodthirsty Sea Spirits, which gave him a new understanding of his martial soul and found his own path. The direction of his future development had begun to change.


He was very clear that with his talent, if he wanted to keep up with his companions, he had to do things that ordinary people dared not do. He had to go crazy in order to constantly break through. As the saying goes, one cannot truly live without a touch of madness.


Therefore, Jiayu"s eyes now were much deeper than before, and even his pupils were slightly red, with an invisible killing intent permeating around his body.


When Yu Muchen conferred his rank, he even felt like he was facing a veteran of a hundred battles.


Two stripes, two stars, the rank of colonel.


This was the rank exchanged by the acc.u.mulated points of the Skyfighter mission. An 18-year-old colonel, which was absolutely the most outstanding talent that can be obtained in the military. It was also the reward that Skyfighters could receive for risking their lives for the Federation.


Not only him, since the whole Thirty-Three Sky Wings completed the team mission, everyone"s Skyfighter points were almost the same.


The deep blue military uniforms were sharp and profound, embodying the spirit and resilience of a soldier, leaving an indelible mark on these young men. The moment they bore ranks on their shoulders, the gleaming gold stars added a touch of unyielding strength to their character. From that moment on, they were true soldiers.


As the rank was awarded one by one, new colonels appear.


"Lan Xuanyu, come forward and receive your rank." Finally, it was the cla.s.s leader Lan Xuanyu"s turn.


Lan Xuanyu stepped forward and took the initiative to salute Yu Muchen.


Yu Muchen"s serious face finally showed a smile as he returned the salute to Lan Xuanyu,


"Lan Xuanyu, you achieved outstanding results during your missions in the Skyfighter Hall. You led your team to complete multiple difficult tasks. It has been confirmed that the special mission you completed on Proto Dragon Planet has made a great contribution to the Federation. As the leader, and the one who bore the greatest pressure afterwards, the Federation has decided to give you a special commendation. Considering that you graduated from the Shrek Academy, the medal may not hold much significance to you, so we have decided to convert the Federation Hero Medal into a military rank and award you…"


At this point, he paused for a moment and unveiled the red cloth on the tray held by a soldier beside him, picking up two military ranks.


"We award you the rank of Major General!"


As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room was filled with shock. If it weren"t for the solemn occasion, there would have been an uproar.


Even Tang Miao and w.a.n.g Tianyu looked surprised.


Major General? Are you kidding me? That was a general"s rank.


One should know that in the modern federal army, the requirements for promotion were extremely strict. The Skyfighter Hall was an exception, because every Skyfighter mission could potentially endanger their lives, and they had indeed made great contributions to the federation. Therefore, after completing missions, Skyfighters could exchange their points for military merit. But even so, becoming a general was not an easy task. Only a level five or even level six Skyfighter had the possibility to become one.


Lan Xuanyu"s Skyfighter points were the same as his comrades", but the federation directly gave him the rank of Major General with the reason being his Federation Hero medal.


What did Major General mean?


The commander of a wars.h.i.+p held the rank of Major General. Moving from a lieutenant officer to a general officer was often a step that many officers cannot cross in their lifetime without exceptional contributions. It was absolutely impossible to be promoted to Major General without outstanding contributions.


Just like the previous commander of Proto Dragon Planet, he had already been promoted to the rank of lieutenant general, but this time, due to the major issue with the Proto Dragon Crystals, he was directly demoted back to major general.


There was no doubt that this was the most direct form of bribe from the military and the federal government to Lan Xuanyu.


An 18-year-old major general was simply unheard of. Even Tang Wulin, who was known the Golden Dragon Moon Song back then, didn"t become a general at the age of 18!


Lan Xuanyu was also shocked and wanted to ask something, but General Yu Muchen had already put on the rank of Major General for him.


The Major General"s rank had no bars, and there was a big golden star on each shoulder. Three centimeters away from the big star, there was also an arc-shaped pattern formed by a string of branches and leaves, which was a shrunken version of the Eternal Tree"s branches and leaves.


"At the same time, you have been promoted to a level 6 Skyfighter. All your points have been reset." Yu Muchen said with a smile.


"Thank you, General." Lan Xuanyu saluted him again. Although he felt helpless, Lan Xuanyu naturally understood why this situation had arisen. It was not just because of his own talent and importance at Shrek Academy, but also had an inseparable connection with his parents.


Putting aside Tang Wulin"s previous contributions to the Federation, the fact that he was currently the only Super G.o.d level powerhouse in the entire Federation had greatly changed the Federation"s att.i.tude towards Lan Xuanyu.


While Tang Wulin was now in seclusion at Shrek Academy, Lan Xuanyu was entering the military. The Federation government would not let go of such a great opportunity!


Whether it was the academy, Tang Sect, the military, or the Federation, they all provided full support to Lan Xuanyu. For a while, it made Lan Xuanyu feel a little uncomfortable.


Of course, only the true high-level officials within the Federation knew about his situation. This was the most important secret of the Federation.


Lan Xunyu returned to his position, and compared to the colonel rank of his accompanying comrades, his Major General rank was quite prominent. The key was that he was too young!


Lan Xunyu himself was a bit helpless. With his age, wearing this Major General rank, he would probably be criticized when he arrived at the Seventh Fleet. However, since it was already like this, then let it be. Being a general, this feeling seemed really good.


His dream from childhood was to become a wars.h.i.+p commander, and now it seemed that his rank was almost enough!


"Prepare to board the s.h.i.+p," a Major General officer shouted loudly.


The next moment, military personnel were already clearing the way in front, leading Lan Xunyu and the others to board the transport s.h.i.+p from the Seventh Fleet.


At this moment, the Thirty-Three Sky Wings soldiers finally relaxed, and everyone looked at the military rank on their shoulders with a strange feeling.


The few people who followed closely behind Lan Xuanyu all had their gaze unconsciously fixed on the star on Lan Xuanyu"s shoulder, and they all clicked their tongues in amazement.
