After awakening, the female supporting character in the abused novel only wants to ascend to immorta

Chapter 456 Left Vice-Chancellor Kong Hui

In the Ancestral Dragon Plane, during the Qin Dynasty, near the dividing line between the Southwest Region and the Demon Realm.

The regular army of the Western District Corps is conducting routine drills, awaiting the completion of the private selection process and the influx of fresh blood.

After a tiring but fulfilling day of training, the soldiers of the Western District Corps would often gather together at night to discuss which privates were most likely to be recruited into the regular army.

"I estimate that after those two private squads from the capital who received black-level missions complete their missions, about 60-70% of their members should be able to join the legion."

"Hey, you forgot about the three Black-level missions and the team?"

"Haha, that amateur team? They wouldn't even know how they died if we gave them the worst white-level missions, let alone a black-level one! How about we guess how many of them will come back alive?"

Amidst the laughter and joking, everyone treated Lin Zhao's squad, a private from a small town who had received a black-level mission, as if they were already dead.

"That captain is a fool who doesn't know what's good for her. She actually accepted the mission and went into the Demon Realm. Why would a woman like her fight for that pride? She's just being stubborn and suffering for it."

"Hey, the way you're saying it makes it sound like Lord Kong isn't a woman."

"How can a wild pheasant from the countryside compare to Lord Kong Hui? Lord Kong Hui is not even fifty years old and has already broken through to the early stage of the Heartbeat Realm. What is that woman? A mere nineteen-year-old at the Enlightenment Realm? What amazing talent! Lord Kong Hui was already a pseudo-Golden Core cultivator at nineteen!"

"I can't stand you praising that woman Kong Hui like that. If you really want to compare, why don't you compare Kong Hui with that newly succeeded Ancestral Phoenix Emperor?"

"You're really going too far, Lao Gao. A woman who can defeat a monster like Ji Wantang is something that even the Fifth Master didn't have when he was young, let alone Lord Kong Hui."

Seeing that the crowd below was getting more and more engrossed in their conversation, the head of the West District issued a divine decree: "There's movement at the exit; soldiers are about to come out."

A drunken man staggered to his feet and walked over, puzzled. "So fast? They've only been in there a few days? Are they planning to abandon their mission and desert?"

After walking a few steps, he managed to shake off the slight intoxication with his cultivation technique. A cold wind blew, and the man's eyes widened as he watched the dozen or so people walking out of the exit intact.

"How dare you! Have you finished your mission? Come out now."

To the surprise of the regular army soldiers in charge of the rescue, none of the dozen or so men responded to his words. Instead, they automatically made way for a slender girl who appeared in his field of vision, carrying a monster's head whose blood had dried.

"The third squad of Ping'an Town has completed its black-level mission, eliminating more than 9,000 demons in the Demon Realm of Kuisang City and killing the Golden Core stage Hellhound, a demonic creature of the Kuisang City Lord level."

That sentence completely dispelled his dizziness.

After confirming that it was indeed the head of a demon in the Golden Core stage, his gaze sharpened, and he threw a punch at Lin Zhao.

Faced with his attack, Lin Zhao calmly cast a level-three spirit talisman to immobilize him.

The soldiers who had initially tested the waters now truly believed that this small-town team might actually be capable of slaying a Golden Core stage demon: "Tear it off quickly, tear it off! I'll fill out your military merit book and report it to Chief Kong!"

Lin Zhao pondered that the Left Grand Master should be a fourth-level military merit title in the Great Qin Dynasty, a position that one's cultivation level must reach to be able to attain.

The highest rank in a regional legion is the sixth-level Grand General, a position that only cultivators who have reached the Nascent Soul stage and have sufficient military merits can attain. The Western Legion only has one Grand General as its Commander-in-Chief.

Below that, a divisional army can have two Right Generals, then four Left Generals, twelve Officials, thirty-six Officials, and one hundred and eight Gentlemen. As for ordinary soldiers, there is no limit; as long as they are qualified, they can become soldiers with titles. These soldiers are in charge of various affairs within the army.

It seems that this Left Vice-Chancellor Kong is in charge of recording military merits. However, it's somewhat surprising that their troop's mission could attract the attention of a fourth-rank Left Vice-Chancellor.

When Lin Zhao was taken to the registration area, he finally understood why they had alarmed the fourth-rank Left Vice Minister.

The reason is simple: they were the first private unit to complete the mission, and it was a Black-level mission.

Upon hearing this news, the soldiers, recalling their conversation from the previous night, began to look at Lin Zhao and the others with strange expressions.

Not everyone can accept that someone they once looked down upon has become someone they are far inferior to.

Before the soldier in charge of recording military merits could finish writing, the soldier who had previously questioned Lin Zhao's team spoke up: "How could a Great Perfection of the Enlightenment Stage kill a Golden Core Stage demon? Could there be a trick?"

Then, someone said sourly, "Who knows? Not only did they complete the mission, but they also returned so quickly without a single casualty. Could it be that they had a Golden Core stage expert protecting them?"

Before Lin Zhao could speak, a hoarse yet gentle female voice came from not far away: "You worthless bastards! Is this how you train? You gossip like long-tongued women and this is the result of your military service? Go back and each of you take thirty strokes of the cane, and tomorrow's workload will be tripled!"

Those who had previously mocked Lin Zhao turned pale and were reluctantly dragged away by the soldiers of their own team.

Lin Zhao looked at the woman who had appeared. She was dressed in red soft armor, with striking features and a gentle, feminine face that made it clear that she was a female general. However, her imposing presence and aura were stronger than anyone else present.

Upon seeing Lin Zhao and the others, she walked over slowly and said, "These people are newly recruited and haven't been properly trained yet. This kind of thing will not happen again in our Western District Legion."

What they discuss in private is their own business, but bringing such remarks into the open is to undermine the morale of their Western District Legion, which Kong Hui absolutely cannot allow.

Lin Zhao smiled and said, "It's alright, sir. Just please check if we've completed the mission, how many points we've earned, and whether that's enough for us brothers to join the regular army?"

Kong Hui glanced at Lin Zhao, then slowly frowned.

For some reason, she was able to detect that the girl in front of her was only at the Great Perfection of the Enlightenment Stage.

However, her intuition gave her the feeling that the girl in front of her was even more terrifying than the Grand Chancellor.

But how is this possible?

The Grand Master is a Nascent Soul level cultivator.

The girl in front of me is only about twenty years old. How could she possibly be more dangerous than a Nascent Soul stage expert?

"Of course, Cheng Nuo, begin tallying the points of the first and third squads of Ping'an Town."

As the soldiers responsible for counting the points read out the scores one by one, the expressions on everyone's faces became increasingly varied.

When they finally learned that after excluding Lin Zhao, Zheng Qinghong, and the vice-captain's points, the other team members each had 5,000 points, everyone was on the verge of losing their composure.

"The entire team joined the army? This has only happened a handful of times since the establishment of any major legion, right?" The adjutant behind Kong Hui couldn't help but mutter.

Kong Hui looked at Cheng Nuo expressionlessly: "You said that Zheng Qinghong and Xu Yunxuan (Lin Zhao's vice captain) have enough points to take up the position of first-class rank, then what about Zhao Lin?"

Cheng Nuo said, "Although she only has one head, the ten thousand points plus the points of the mission commander are enough to get her a position as an official doctor. However, Zhao Lin's cultivation level is only at the Enlightenment stage, so she can only be given a position as a Level Two Doctor."
