He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

Guard Xiao Chen calmly observed the pale green runes surrounding him.

The runes appeared to have form, but in reality, they were formless and intangible.

It cannot be touched by hand; it can only be vaguely perceived through the senses.

It caused almost no sensation, with no signs of discomfort whatsoever.

If he weren't so perceptive and highly focused, he might have even overlooked it.

Based on initial assessment, at least from a perceptual perspective,

Nothing seemed amiss.

He raised his head and looked at Lu Chen with a questioning gaze.

Lu Chen nodded to him, indicating that they could begin.

Xiao Chen's eyes remained unwavering as he silently drew his sword from its specially made sheath at his waist.

He drew a specially made military dagger that gleamed coldly and whose blade was etched with a dark blue light.

Without the slightest hesitation, he gripped the dagger in his right hand, reversed his grip.

Point the knife tip at your left chest, near your heart, and thrust it in forcefully!

"Pfft!"

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh was clearly audible.

Immediately afterwards, he twisted his wrist forcefully.

You can even hear the faint sounds of muscles and bones being stirred!

Blood gushed out instantly, soaking his dark green military uniform.

His movements were precise, calm, and even ruthless.

He remained expressionless throughout the entire process, without even frowning.

It was as if the heart that was pierced and torn apart was not his own.

It was an object that had nothing to do with me.

Lu Chen watched this scene, his pupils contracted slightly, and a strong sense of respect welled up in his heart!

Is this the steely will of a true soldier?

To verify capabilities, and to ensure the general's safety,

He could deliver a fatal blow to himself so calmly, without even a groan!

Such absolute obedience to orders and extreme endurance of pain are truly awe-inspiring!

However, just as Xiao Chen's heart was completely destroyed, a strange change occurred!

His internal energy suddenly surged for a moment.

Like a final burst of energy before death, it unleashed an even more formidable aura than usual!

That's a passive effect of a technique that involves burning the last of one's life potential before death, taking the enemy down with them!

Immediately afterwards, the explosive energy receded as quickly as the tide.

Xiao Chen's body swayed, the light in his eyes completely dimmed, and his life force was extinguished.

Just as his body was about to fall backward, Leng Shuang, who had been standing quietly to the side, made her move.

She raised her delicate hand, and a gentle, invisible force supported Xiao Chen's lifeless body.

He was kept standing.

Like a sentry standing guard until the very last moment.

I'd rather die standing than live kneeling!

This is dignity etched into the bones of soldiers.

Xiao Chen's suicidal act instantly attracted the attention of all the old heroes around the waterside pavilion.

They all put down their chess pieces and teacups and gathered around.

His face showed shock and confusion, but even more so, trust.

They believed in Shi Qianjun and Tieshanhe.

We would never allow this loyal guard to be sacrificed without a reason.

"Hey bro! Hey Stone! What are you guys doing?!"

"What happened to Xiao Chen?"

"What on earth are they up to?"

Each gaze was filled with worry.

They all hurled their arrows at Lu Chen, Shi Qianjun, and Tie Shanhe in the center of the arena.

Ultimately, most of the attention focused on Lu Chen, this unfamiliar young man.

This boy from out of town is the key!

Lu Chen felt as if he had become the center of attention, and his scalp tingled slightly.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

These are all heroic predecessors who made great contributions to the human race and deserve the respect of everyone.

We can't let them down.

We cannot let the guard who sacrificed himself go to waste.

He looked at Xiao Chen's body, his eyes hardening.

"resurrection!"

He silently recited the mantra while simultaneously activating his life-related abilities to the fullest extent.

[Ding! Chen Feng successfully revived, all attributes +1!]

As the notification tone sounded in my mind,

A soft green light suddenly shone on Xiao Chen!

The light, like a living liquid, quickly surged into the horrific wound on his chest!

Under everyone's unwavering gaze, a miracle occurred!

The flesh around the wound began to grow and heal at a visible rate!

A broken heart is reunited!

The broken ribs were reconnected and restored!

The shredded muscle tissue regenerates rapidly!

In just a few breaths,

That enormous, potentially fatal hole vanished completely!

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Chen's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened!

The sharp light in his eyes burst forth like a drawn sword, even brighter than before!

His face, which had been pale from excessive blood loss, quickly regained its rosy color.

The aura also seemed more refined than before!

"This effect... is amazing!"

"Hiss... He's really alive? His wounds are completely healed?"

"His aura... seems even stronger now?"

The old heroes around them watched with shining eyes.

His face was filled with unbelievable surprise.

They were very knowledgeable, but this was the first time they had ever witnessed such a perfect "resurrection"!

"Xiao Chen, how are you feeling? Is anything wrong?"

Tie Shanhe's voice rang out.

Xiao Chen didn't answer immediately; he first stretched his arms and legs.

Feeling the perfect state within my body,

Then immediately close your eyes, concentrate fully, and begin to look inward at yourself.

From the five internal organs to the four limbs and bones, from the meridians and acupoints to the mind and consciousness,

They didn't even miss the slightest fluctuations in the soul.

Again and again, with an almost obsessive attention to detail.

In ten minutes, he checked it ten times!

Finally, he slowly opened his eyes.

When those sharp eyes looked at Lu Chen, they were filled with a burning light called "hope".

He turned towards the bodies of Shi Qianjun and Tie Shanhe, his voice trembling slightly with emotion:

"Reporting to the General, reporting to the Sage of Literature!"

My subordinate has completed repeated checkups and his body has fully recovered to its peak condition, even better than before!

The soul is intact, consciousness is clear, and there are no unusual sensations.

No hidden side effects were found!

Everything... is perfect!

"Good! Good! Good!"

Shi Qianjun said "good" three times, a surprised smile on his face.

"Come on, come on! Hurry up, let me have a turn too!"

Tie Shanhe seemed impatient; he saw green runes also floating around his body.

He immediately hardened his heart and controlled his remaining strength.

Raise his only remaining left hand and slam it down on the top of his head!

"Bang!"

A muffled thud, and blood and flesh splattered everywhere!

This iron-willed general showed no mercy even to himself!

Shi Qianjun, standing nearby, seemed to have anticipated this, and with a gentle wave of his sleeve,

A gentle force gathered the splattered blood and flesh together.

The scene wasn't made too messy.

"This guy's still so impatient, he's really decisive..."

"Yes, if it weren't for his personality, he wouldn't have always been at the forefront, risking his life..."

The elderly people around were whispering among themselves.

His tone was filled with emotion.

"resurrection!"

Lu Chen dared not be negligent in the slightest.

They were afraid that if they were even a second too late, this legendary general would really be "dead."

He immediately activated his ability again.

[Ding! Tie Shanhe successfully revived, all attributes +1!]

The green light completely enveloped Tie Shanhe's broken body!

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, an even more breathtaking scene unfolded!
