Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 351 - 286: Becoming a General! (Double-Length) (Part 2)

Some half-demons belonging to the Human Race camp, and even those from the Demon Race, can establish illustrious battle achievements in the military and hold high positions.

However, this particular group requires special treatment. After a lengthy process of assessment and oversight, and upon confirming their loyalty, only then can heavy responsibilities be entrusted to them.

For instance, Chu Wantong, who Song Changming encountered previously.

He possesses half-demon bloodline and is now the top general under Meng Jianli’s command.

Song Changming ultimately did not uncover any demon bloodline, hence he did not require special treatment within the military.

Afterward, all newly recruited personnel who pass the assessment must spend a month in the Recruit Training Camp to learn military laws and regulations, and to familiarize themselves with the military lifestyle to find their position.

This is to prevent them from making foolish mistakes and being punished for ignorance later.

This Recruit Training Camp is something that Song Changming must attend as well.

However, Fu Yuan, who processed his procedures, had already informed the officers of the training camp in advance. Although Song Changming is a new recruit, considering he is Deputy General under Xing Tiexin, his status is different, and the officers in the training camp will treat him with respect.

"Younger Brother Song, I shall leave now. In a month, when we meet again, we shall be colleagues." At the entrance of the Recruit Training Camp, Fu Yuan patted Song Changming’s shoulder with a smile.

The two had once competed, acknowledging each other’s prowess.

Unlike Zhao Linxin’s hostility, Fu Yuan was obviously more warm-hearted, friendly, and took considerable care of Song Changming.

"Alright, Brother Fu, see you then." Song Changming cupped his hands in salute.

After Fu Yuan departed, Song Changming stepped into the Recruit Training Camp.

This training camp was set up in the northern part of the Fifth District, adjacent to the nearby City Defense Army and several large Military Arenas.

Upon entering, two officers approached him, their faces showing respect.

"General Song, I am Chu Feiyu, in charge of this training camp."

"I am Shi Dongsheng..."

Both are Centurions under Xing Tiexin’s command, in terms of military rank, inferior to the newly-appointed General Song Changming.

Therefore, seeing such a unique recruit, they had to be respectful and polite.

This scenario made Song Changming seem more like the highest authority of the training camp.

"There’s no need to be so courteous. Treat me as an ordinary recruit," Song Changming said.

Exchanging a glance, both officers were slightly relieved.

With Song Changming being reasonable, their work could proceed smoothly. Otherwise, they would have had to tiptoe around him.

Still, despite Song Changming’s words, they couldn’t truly treat him as an ordinary recruit.

"Let me take you to your accommodation..." Chu Feiyu offered.

"Thank you." Song Changming nodded.

On the way, Song Changming saw other new recruits who joined at the same time.

This included several Innate Martial Artists as well.

Song Changming was undoubtedly the most distinctive among all the recruits, personally received and guided by Centurions Chu Feiyu and Shi Dongsheng.

Song Changming’s performance that day left a lasting impression on them, as he instantly rose to the position of General as a recruit.

It’s impossible not to feel envious.

"What exactly is this young man’s background?!"

These days, many recruits speculated about Song Changming’s background.

Although they learned Song Changming’s name, they couldn’t discover his origin.

In the vast Cui Bai Main City, there were indeed Song Clans, more than one.

The most renowned of which resided in the Second District.

This Song Clan wasn’t considered a top elite family, but was a first-class noble family, situated in a second tier of power.

Many within the recruits initially believed Song Changming hailed from this Song Clan.

Until it was later proven that Song Changming had no ties to this Song Clan, making him even more mysterious.

Elsewhere.

Second District, 41st Cuiqi Army base.

"Old Xing, you’re remarkable. Your new recruit process caused quite a stir, even tearing down the Military Arena." A Flag General, red-faced from drinking, laughed.

"Come now, because of this, the Banner Master reprimanded me fiercely yesterday; don’t tease me anymore." Xing Tiexin pursed his lips.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Xing Tiexin’s dismay, several comrades laughed heartily, having already heard of the incident.

The Banner Master’s rebukes reverberated throughout the base.

"You can’t entirely blame Old Xing; he recruited an exceptional talent this time, causing quite a commotion. With a bit of grooming, they’re sure to become a valuable officer." Yang Zhen waved his hand, smiling.

"Really? Old Xing, that’s not fair. I suffered losses in the recent demon hunt, as you know, and I’m in dire need of talented reinforcements." Another Flag General protested loudly at Yang Zhen’s words.

"Next time, next time for sure. This one’s already appointed as my Deputy General, there’s no way I can give them to you." Xing Tiexin quickly replied.

"To be so highly regarded by Old Xing, directly appointed as Deputy General, it’s unprecedented; seems like this time you’ve truly lucked out."

"Next time it’s my turn to recruit; hopefully, I’ll have the same quality as Old Xing this year. Can’t always be left with the leftovers..."

"Come on Old Xing, share how this talent captured your interest," Yang Zhen smiled lightly.

"On that day..." Xing Tiexin downed a large bowl of strong alcohol before speaking.

Meanwhile, in a private room at an elegant pavilion in the Second District.
