128: Chapter 128 Don't blink, the next move is going to be awesome!
Upon hearing this, Regimental Commander Zhang didn't hesitate to dial the Regimental Headquarters' number, and he even turned on the speakerphone.
"Put Lin Yuan on the phone! Fast!"
Lin Yuan was originally cultivating, but his divine sense was roaming outside. Suddenly hearing Regimental Commander Zhang's call, his figure immediately disappeared from the room. When he reappeared, he had already reached the communications room.
Under the astonished gazes of everyone in the communications room, Lin Yuan took the phone from the operator's hand.
"Hello, this is Lin Yuan."
"Lin Yuan, head to Void Rift No. 2 immediately for rescue; a Rank 6 beast riot has broken out there!" Regimental Commander Zhang issued the command urgently.
"Received!" Lin Yuan's calm voice came through the phone.
On the large screen in the meeting room, the footage from Void Rift No. 2 was immediately projected.
Hundreds of Rank 6 ferocious beasts were charging toward the military formation a kilometer away. Everyone watching the big screen immediately grew tense.
But at that moment, a tall and handsome figure made a domineering entrance like a Heavenly God Descends, slowly landing in front of the military formation.
A smile played on his lips, and a silver ninth-tier magic cube in one of his hands was constantly spinning...
"Everyone, look! This person is Lin Yuan!"
Regimental Commander Zhang pointed excitedly at the big screen. He hadn't expected Lin Yuan to arrive in just a few breaths; it really did him proud.
Everyone immediately stared at the figure on the screen in shock, beginning to believe Regimental Commander Zhang's words a bit more.
After all, being able to reach the battlefield in just a few breaths—this move alone proved some of his strength.
"This person indeed has some skill. Regimental Commander Zhang, are you sure he can solve this alone?"
Looking at the increasingly close and terrifying beast tide, the Division Commander was still a bit worried. He truly couldn't imagine that the incredibly young soldier before him could fight a beast tide alone.
Hearing this, Regimental Commander Zhang immediately stood up, went to the big screen, picked up a laser pointer, and pointed a red dot at the ninth-tier magic cube-like energy body in Lin Yuan's hand.
"Everyone, please look at this silver energy body in Lin Yuan's hand. Don't think it's ordinary; this is his ultimate killing move! In a moment, he will throw this energy body out, and the scene will be absolutely shocking!" Regimental Commander Zhang explained.
Hearing this, everyone looked curiously at the spinning ninth-tier magic cube in Lin Yuan's hand.
Just then, the beast tide was already very close to the military formation. Lin Yuan directly threw out the silver ninth-tier magic cube in his hand.
"Everyone, look! This move is called... um... Boxing Them In!" Regimental Commander Zhang casually gave Lin Yuan's Martial Arts a name.
As Regimental Commander Zhang's voice fell, all the ferocious beasts were restricted in place by silver frames. The originally surging and stampeding beast tide seemed to have its pause button pressed at this moment, all stopping in their tracks.
*Hiss...*
*Hiss...*
...
The sound of collective gasps suddenly echoed throughout the meeting room.
Hearing the crowd's reaction, Regimental Commander Zhang's smile grew even wider, and he raised his head proudly.
"Everyone, pay attention. The next move is called... Lifting Them High! It will be even more shocking, so get ready!" Regimental Commander Zhang spoke up to explain again.
On the big screen, Lin Yuan raised his palm, and thousands of ferocious beasts were immediately stacked up layer by layer in the air.
*Hiss...*
*Hiss...*
...
Seeing the wide-eyed expressions of the crowd, Regimental Commander Zhang recalled his own reaction back then; it was exactly the same.
"Don't blink, because the next move will be very handsome! The next move is called... um, called Twisting the Ring. Look! He's about to twist!"
As Regimental Commander Zhang's explanation ended, the neatly stacked ferocious beasts in the air on the big screen suddenly twisted together, instantly turning into bloody remains.
A waterfall of blood poured from the sky, instantly drenching the entire earth.
After devouring all the soul bodies, Lin Yuan turned around coolly, stepped into the portal in one stride, and vanished without a trace.
In the meeting room, a flat voice sounded from Regimental Commander Zhang's communicator:
"Commander, mission accomplished."
Regimental Commander Zhang hurriedly returned to his seat, grabbed the communicator on the table, and said with feigned calmness:
"Mhm, you did a great job. Return to the base and rest."
"Received."
As Lin Yuan's flat voice faded, the crowd was still in a state of intense shock, with only Regimental Commander Zhang and his three battalion commanders staring at each other.
"First Battalion Commander Li, was my expression back then about the same as the Division Commander's and the others' right now?" Regimental Commander Zhang asked in a low voice.
"Commander, I don't know, because I had the same expression myself back then..." First Battalion Commander Li said helplessly.
"Alright..."
...
The first to react was the Division Commander, who was a Grandmaster. He muttered to himself:
"How is this possible? Too strong, a Teenage Grandmaster..."
Instantly killing a group of Rank 6 ferocious beasts—he couldn't think of any other possibility besides being a Grandmaster. Moreover, the level of that Martial Arts must be extremely high...
"That... Division Commander, about Comrade Lin Yuan's military rank, what do you think?" Regimental Commander Zhang asked.
"Military rank? With Lin Yuan's strength, the military headquarters will definitely take him very seriously. I must report this to the high-level command to determine his rank," the Division Commander said solemnly.
"No, Division Commander, you might not quite understand Comrade Lin Yuan. He once said that as martial artists of our generation, we should take saving the world's people as our duty. Therefore, he doesn't want a high rank; he only wishes to fight on the front lines, blocking the beasts' path for the people of Great Xia and saving the masses from fire and water!"
Regimental Commander Zhang's emotional voice immediately made Lin Yuan's image appear towering and noble.
That heroic spirit of facing danger with righteousness, fearing neither life nor death to save the people, immediately moved everyone present.
"Good! Comrade Lin Yuan's spirit is truly worth our vigorous study and promotion. Since he is willing to stay on the front line, then I will exceptionally appoint him as a temporary Special Grade Sergeant Major. Once I submit his deeds to the Military Commission, I believe a formal appointment will be given to him soon," the Division Commander decided on the spot.
"Yes, thank you, Division Commander!"
Regimental Commander Zhang immediately saluted to express his gratitude.
"No need to thank me; this is what he deserves. This is already doing Comrade Lin Yuan a disservice."
The Division Commander smiled and patted Regimental Commander Zhang's shoulder, clearly very satisfied that he had brought Lin Yuan under his command.
A First Class Sergeant Major is more commonly referred to as a 'Soldier King' among soldiers; only the truly strong can receive this honor.
And it was said that there were only a few Special Grade Sergeant Majors in the entire military, each of them being a top-tier powerhouse among soldiers.
The division had added another Soldier King, and this Soldier King was not just a king among soldiers—calling him a king of kings would be a severe understatement. The Division Commander was very happy.
This time, Lin Yuan's rapid rescue saved an entire regiment and resolved a Rank 6 beast riot. After reporting to the military headquarters, the rank would surely be approved quickly.
After the meeting ended, Regimental Commander Zhang and the three battalion commanders finally experienced what it felt like to hold their heads high and be the center of attention.
The commanders and battalion commanders of the other two regiments were incredibly warm toward them.
Although they knew these people were like this because of Lin Yuan, they still very much enjoyed the feeling.
After all, the Third Regiment ranked low, and its overall strength was inferior to the first two regiments; they usually didn't receive this kind of treatment.
After interacting with everyone for a while, Regimental Commander Zhang led his men back to the base.
The Third Regiment was going to hold a social gathering tonight to let the soldiers relax and to celebrate the emergence of an invincible Soldier King in the Third Regiment.
