High Martial Arts: First day of dropping out of school, reward: Devouring the Emperor's Body

Huang Zhongze's words were truly thought-provoking.

Even someone from an enemy country like him could understand Li Mo's value, but many snobbish people within the country have wasted a lot of talent because of it.

Li Mo is not the only one who has been expelled from Starry Sky University over the years.

"Let's drag it out."

Xiao Se waved his hand, signaling his men to take Huang Zhongze and Sun Yunan, who were frozen into ice sculptures, away.

Then he walked up to Li Mo and offered him a cigarette.

"Want to smoke?"

Li Mo shook his head, initially refusing Xiao Se, then smiled and said, "Commander Xiao, with your status, you probably don't need to flatter me like this, even offering me cigarettes?"

It should be noted that although Xiao Se is nominally only a regimental commander, the position of the commander of the Beijing Garrison Regiment is equivalent to the deputy commander level in the military region.

Basically, they received the same treatment as a general.

Theoretically speaking, Li Mo is still just a nobody in front of Xiao Se, but for some reason Xiao Se is giving him such high regard.

At this moment, Xiao Se laughed and said, "I like talented people. How about it? Want to join my capital garrison? If you agree, I'll have someone transfer you over immediately!"

Li Mo's lips twitched. So this guy wanted him to join the capital garrison!

Although the capital city garrison is known as the elite of the elite, and Li Mo would surely rise rapidly if he joined, Li Mo had no desire to stay in the capital.

This place is too complicated, filled with all sorts of power struggles, and is far less pure than the frontier.

"I currently have no intention of joining the capital garrison, but could I ask you for a favor?"

Xiao Se chuckled upon hearing this: "Good lad, you refuse me and still expect me to help you? You really dare to ask!"

At this point, Xiao Se showed a helpless expression: "There's nothing I can do, I'm just a naturally kind person. You're asking for your aunt and sister's safety, right? Fine! I'll take care of it!"

Before Li Mo could even speak, Xiao Se guessed that Li Mo wanted him to protect his family.

With this verbal promise from the commander of the capital's garrison, there would probably be very few people in the entire capital who would dare to provoke my aunt and sister.

"I won't thank you enough," Li Mo nodded and said, "Let me know if you need anything in the future."

"Give my regards to the Marshal!" Xiao Se waved his hand, then led Huang Zhongze and the other man away.

……

With the two captured, the mission was considered a complete success. Li Mo did not delay and, after thoroughly settling his aunt and sister, returned to the border with Xu Feng and Zheng Jiahao.

However, as soon as Li Mo returned to the military camp, he heard some shocking news from Zhang Ruxue.

That is, the current Marshal of the Great Xia Dynasty, Zhao Zhenyuan, wants to personally receive him!

Li Mo, Xu Feng, and Zheng Jiahao all felt flattered.

They did a good job on this mission, but it wasn't enough to warrant a personal commendation from the marshal, was it?

Li Mo knew the resume of the current Marshal Zhao Zhenyuan like the back of his hand.

In the three hundred years of the Gregorian calendar, the Great Xia Dynasty has had more than sixty marshals. Apart from Yue Wuyun, who is recognized by everyone as the first marshal, there are still many different opinions and no consensus on the position of the second marshal.

However, most arguments now support the view that the current Marshal Zhao Zhenyuan is very likely to become Yue Wuyun's successor and lead the Great Xia to new glory.

He was a top genius from Fengyun University, the number one martial arts university in the country. When he first joined the army, he already had the strength of the Three Harmony Realm.

Originally, the higher-ups were going to give him a division commander position directly, but he started from the grassroots level and worked his way up step by step from platoon leader. In less than fifteen years, he rose to his current position as marshal!

Of course, he is respected because of his abilities.

First of all, he is exceptionally strong. He is only about sixty years old, yet he has already reached the Martial God Realm!

It should be noted that the minimum age to reach the Martial God Realm is eighty years old!

But he did it a full twenty years ahead of schedule!

This means that he has extraordinary potential and a huge room for improvement in the future.

But even more impressive than his personal bravery was his first-rate military skills!

To date, he has never lost a battle personally commanded, and once annihilated 200,000 troops of the White European Empire.

He was even given the nickname "Iron-Blooded Reaper" by his enemies.

He had been a marshal for less than a year, but during that year, no battles had taken place on the border.

Previously, the White European Empire and the Black Earth Tribe frequently harassed the borders of the Great Xia, with at least dozens of incidents every year. However, this year has been peaceful, not because they have become peace-loving, but because Zhao Zhenyuan has put too much pressure on them!

Zhao Zhenyuan's greatest strength lies in surprise attacks and winning with fewer troops. His style is completely different from the steady and large-scale troop operations of the previous marshals. If they want to harass the border of the Great Xia, the White Europe Empire and the Black Earth Tribe will have to pay a price several times greater than the benefits they gain.

It is no exaggeration to say that this marshal should be the idol of all soldiers in the military today.

It would be a lie to say they weren't nervous about being personally received by this person. Li Mo and the other two dressed neatly and then nervously knocked on the door of the marshal's office.

"Enter."

Li Mo led Xu Feng and Zheng Jiahao inside. This iron-blooded grim reaper was completely different from what Li Mo had imagined. He had a kind face and a generous temperament. If he hadn't been wearing a marshal's cloak, Li Mo probably would have mistaken him for an old man at a roadside stall.

"Li Mo, captain of the Silent Whisper Squad of the Tiger Legion, salutes the Marshal!" Li Mo's voice was firm and powerful as he gave Zhao Zhenyuan a perfectly standard military salute.

Zhao Zhenyuan pointed to the sofa next to him: "Don't be so reserved. I'm not some monster. Please sit down."

Seeing Zhao Zhenyuan's kind demeanor, Li Mo finally felt relieved.

Then Zhao Zhenyuan laughed and said, "You three are quite good. Li Mo, you are indeed amazing! You managed to overcome such a tough challenge as Starry Sky University. I heard that old monster Zhang Shizong even gave you the Chaos Star Technique!"

"That's a treasure! I've asked him for it so many times, but that old monster just won't give it to me! It's an SSS-level cultivation technique! How many of those are there in the entire Great Xia Dynasty?"

Upon hearing this, Li Mo's expression stiffened, and he hesitated before asking, "Does Marshal also want the Chaos Star Technique?"

Li Mo had only casually mentioned asking Zhang Shizong for the Chaos Star Technique, but he never expected that Zhang Shizong would actually give it to him.

Cultivation techniques are different from weapons; everyone can cultivate them. "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." This Chaos Star Manual is now a hot potato for Li Mo.

Zhao Zhenyuan's expression froze for a moment, then he gave Li Mo a strange look: "What are you thinking? At the Martial God realm, everyone's path is different. That old guy's Chaos Star Technique only strengthens the divine soul. I only took a look at it for reference. It doesn't matter whether I have it or not!"

Hearing that Zhao Zhenyuan didn't intend to take the Chaos Star Technique, Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

But then Zhao Zhenyuan suddenly changed the subject, and his words startled Li Mo.

"However, there's one thing I really want to see: the Twelve Demon Blades should be in your hands by now, right?"
