Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lu Shu walked slowly towards the flag podium. He knew that after the episode in the salt lake remains, he would definitely be promoted in rank, and also receive new awards. However, he did not expect it to be so fast. They actually held the award ceremony just three days after the return to Luo Cheng, and it was a ceremony specially for him alone.

This feeling… so great!

As he ascended the podium, Lu Shu suddenly turned around and saw Cao Qingci looking hard at him. However, Lu Shu could not tell his emotions from his face. Cao Qingci seemed calm.

Lu Shu stood beside Li Yixiao. Li Yixiao continued, “The events that happened during the opening of the salt lake remains in Qingzhou, I’m sure all of you already knew about it. Today we are not only announcing Lu Shu’s ascension to Class C, this is also an official title-conferring ceremony. Lu Shu performed outstanding merits in the remains and the Heavenly Network had decided, in accordance to Lu Shu’s achievements and his capabilities and Class, to confer him the position of major!”

Everyone could no longer hold their shock. The rank of major! A freaking 17-year-old major?!

What’s everyone’s level only at? Isn’t the gap a little too wide!

For example, what is the rank of Xi Fei and the others? Captain!

This was saying, at Lu Shu’s rocket speed, not only in terms of capabilities, but also rank wise, he had already surpassed the class form teachers of the Heavenly Network.

This would be a joke. Xi Fei saying “Good morning Sir!” to Lu Shu and him saying “Good morning teacher” back?

But no matter how funny, it was now the reality.

Even though Lu Shu had joked to Chen Baili that he had the qualities of a major, he merely expected to hold the same rank as Xi Fei and the rest. And he really gave him the rank of major!

In actual fact, most Class C experts held the rank of major. In general, to attain Class C cultivation technique, the experts must have performed meritorious acts to acquire the cultivation technique and break through Class C.

In the Heavenly Network, as long as one is a Class C expert, he or she would definitely have achieved great merit, hence it was not much of a problem in logic.

Heavenly Network seniors such as Zhong Yutang who ruled an area were lieutenant colonels, and above them were various Heavenly Kings such as Nie Ting.

It was not at all wrong tosay that Lu Shu had become highly proficient. He certainly was that capable.

As cultivation time increases, the number of practitioners in each class would gradually increase. Not just Class C or B, but A too.

The problem was, Lu Shu was now having a head start at the starting line.

The most shocking thing was that among Lu Shu’s classmates, everyone was subconsciously thinking that Lu Shu, a competitor relying on Awakening, could be having a glorious time now. However, the rest would continue their enhancement of strength and Lu Shu would surely be left at the back. Who asked him to be the last of the fourth aptitude class.

In the end, what the heck, not only did Lu Shu broke through Class D, he had then went on directly to Class C and they now had to look up to him!

Liu Li was totally stunned. He had sacrificed his hair and in the end, still could not catch up with Lu Shu? Thinking back at what he had said, he had put himself in such an awkward position!

“Class C…”

“When can we cultivate and reach Class C?”

For aptitude class of Two and below, most whom wished to reach Class C, even if endowed with great fortune, people like Liu Li with Class Two aptitude would need half a year; the rest, one year…

And this was only if the person concerned had great merits and was smooth-sailing in terms of the receiving of cultivation technique. historical

If without any merit, one may even be stuck in Class E forever. This was the unbending rule of the Heavenly Network.

The rank conferring ceremony had begun. Initially, Lu Shu had thought that he would receive one meta-longsword. Surprisingly, Li Yixiao handed him two spears, and they were the skeletal cavalry spears seized at the Beimang remains previously.

Not only that, he had given him not one, but two at one go. It seemed to be provided according to Lu Shu’s tossing capability. Special treatment!

Even though Lu Shu still had twelve of the weapons in the Seal of Lands, he still accepted the two in gratitude upon seeing Li Yixiao’s special treatment. After all, Lu Shu would still not say anything even if he had only been given a normal long sword.

Li Yixiao chuckled softly, “All the best with Awakening. I really want to see how far can you go through Awakening. If you are really that good and ascend to Class B, I will give my Black Dragon Spear to you… Oh no, I can’t really part with it. Let’s talk about it again when you really reach Class B…”

Lu Shu’s face darkened immediately. If you are not giving, then why say? What about becoming a laughing stock?

Still, Lu Shu was really hoping to own the Black Dragon Spear. If he were to have it, it will be a great day all powerful metahuman. That was truly a weapon that comes with special powers!

He was jolted back to reality by Li Yixiao’s words, “Now that Nie Ting isn’t in the capital, you don’t have to rush over to make your progress report. I will inform you once he returns. You will go to the capital along with Cao Qingci.”

Lu Shu tensed up. He really had to go according to procedure and report his progress. In that case, he had much preparation work to do.

The only thing is, even Cao Qingci is going to report progress? Has he reached the peak of Class D so quickly? One must know that Jiang Shuyi was only at mid-Class D. He heard that the place where Cao Qingci lived was very dilapidated, not exactly a blessed environment.

Cao Qingci, he was the true genius.

“Come, say a few words?” Li Yixiao grinned from ear to ear across his pudgy face.

“Erm…” Lu Shu was stunned for a moment. He lowered his voice and said, “I don’t know how to give speeches. I shan’t.”

Competitors like him, could go into conflict with others. To ask him give an official speech, that would really be too tall an order.

Since young, Lu Shu had been excelling academically. However, the class form teachers knew clearly his character and therefore, had never asked him to give any moving yet empty speeches. The teachers were all worried that the situation may get out of control…

Now, after so many years, finally Li Yixiao was giving him the opportunity to make a speech. However, Lu Shu chose this moment to be stunned. He really did not know what to say!

Li Yixiao was unhappy. Even a poor orator like me have already spoke so many times. You cannot let me be the only one making a fool. At this point, Li Yixiao encouraged, “You’re already a major, be more confident, be braver!”

Lu Shu gave a deep sigh after hearing Li Yixiao’s words. His voice rose slightly, “I can’t!”

“From Li Yixiao’s distress, +666!”

Li Yixiao’s face darkened instantly. Am I here to let you display your bravery like this? Or is it that you think just because you have Li Xianyi and Chen Baili protecting you, so you can…

Am I unable to beat Lu Shu? Yes, I am.

Heh heh, so furious, but I must maintain my smile.

Ultimately, Lu Shu made no speech. He really hoped to reap a great deal in such occasions, but still, it was a solemn rank conferring ceremony…
