Chapter 143 He’s the Chief Commander!

In the training ground of the South Mountain Base, a man and a woman were practicing.

Both of them erupted with Astral Power, and every move contained immense power. However, the woman seemed to have gone insane as she attacked in a frenzy, seemingly tireless.

After a long time, both of them were sweating profusely and very tired. However, the woman still had no intention of stopping to rest.

“Stop, stop now. Xiaoxue, let’s rest first.”

The man was also exhausted and could no longer hold out. There was barely any Astral Power left in his body.

“No, Lu Wei, have you forgotten how Brother Zhou died?”

Chen Xue shook her head and gestured for Lu Wei to continue.

Lu Wei smiled bitterly and shook his head. “Xiaoxue, of course I haven’t forgotten about avenging Chief Commander. However, training insanely the way you do is useless. Our talent is limited. We were lucky to be able to break the genetic lock. At most, we can reach the Second or Third Level of the Metamorphic Realm in the future, but what’s the use of that? The Chief Commander was killed by a demon general. We can’t avenge him at all.”

Lu Wei looked a little agitated. Chen Xue was simply too insane. Zhou Yun was the former Chief Commander of the South Mountain Base. He was kind and valiant in battle, and led the South Mountain Base to successive victories.

However, in a great battle, Zhou Yun was killed by a demon general. If Legate Shangguan Zhennan had not arrived in time, the entire South Mountain Base would have been annihilated.

Lu Wei knew that Chen Xue had always been in love with Zhou Yun, so she could not let this matter go. But what could they do? Only Divine Realm experts could deal with demon generals.

Seeing Chen Xue’s stubborn expression, Lu Wei sighed and said, “Xiaoxue, you should apply to transfer. This is a sad place.”

“No, I’m not transferring. I’ll stay here forever. I won’t leave until I avenge Brother Zhou.”

Seeing Chen Xue in this state, Lu Wei could do nothing.

In that battle back then, he had tried his best, and was even almost killed. It was Zhou Yun who had saved him. But so what? The South Mountain Base could only guard the frontline and stick here like a nail to hold off the Pangolin Beasts. However, destroying the Pangolin Beasts or even killing that demon general was completely impossible. It was impossible even if all the forces in the South Mountain Base were amassed.

“By the way, didn’t we apply to the higher-ups to transfer a powerful martial artist over to be the Chief Commander? I wonder where the new Chief Commander is now. Perhaps the new Chief Commander is very strong and can lead our South Mountain Base to defeat the Pangolin Beasts, and ultimately kill that demon general.”

Lu Wei was just saying it casually. If one wanted to kill a general-level demon, they had to be a Divine Realm expert. However, how could there be so many Divine Realm experts in the academic faction?

Almost every Divine Realm expert guarded a region and could not be mobilized easily. As for transferring a Divine State expert to be the Chief Commander of the South Mountain Base?

That was even more impossible. It was just a fantasy.

Moreover, that demon general was not weak. Shangguan Zhennan had fought with it a few times, but was still unable to kill that greater demon. From this, its formidable power was evident. How could it be killed so easily?

Lu Wei knew very well that revenge for Zhou Yun was destined to be impossible.

“That’s right, there’s still the new Chief Commander. He will definitely be able to avenge Brother Zhou!”

Chen Xue believed the words of comfort Lu Wei had casually offered. There was even a trace of anticipation on her face.

Boom.

Suddenly, there was a slight tremor in the South Mountain Base, like an earthquake.

“What’s going on? Are the Pangolin Beasts here?”

Lu Wei immediately became nervous. Although the Pangolin Beasts had attacked the South Mountain Base before, the number of times they had attacked could be counted on one hand.

“Captain Chen, Captain Lu, there’s a… a giant dragon outside!”

Suddenly, a martial artist rushed in from outside with a slightly thrilled expression.

“A dragon?”

Lu Wei thought that there weren’t any giant dragons nearby. After all, that was a famous great demon in the Outland. However, a thought struck him. He immediately blurted out, “Is the Chief Commander here?”

“That’s right. The Chief Commander is coming on a giant dragon!”

The martial artist seemed very excited. This was not surprising. How could any martial artist who could come on a giant dragon be an ordinary martial artist?

The giant dragon was a demon general, stronger than many Divine Realm experts. A martial artist who could tame a giant dragon must at least be a Divine State expert. Could it be that the higher-ups had really sent a Divine State expert to be the Chief Commander of the South Mountain Base?

Lu Wei and Chen Xue looked at each other. They could see the excitement in each other’s eyes. Hence, they immediately rushed out of the training room and towards the square at the base.

As expected, they saw a massive dragon in the square from afar. This dragon was standing on the ground. A slight sneeze from it seemed to be enough to raise a storm. Even the inhuman experts in the base did not dare to approach it lightly.

“It’s real. It really is a giant dragon!”

Lu Wei could not believe his eyes. Even though he found it unbelievable that the higher-ups would really send a Divine State expert, the truth was right before his eyes. He had to believe it.

“Brother Zhou, you can be avenged. Someone who can tame a giant dragon must be one of the best martial artists in the Divine Realm. He will definitely be able to avenge you!”

Lu Xue could not help but shed tears. She had waited for this day for too long.

“Come on, let’s hurry up and welcome the new Chief Commander.”

Seeing Chen Xue’s tears, Lu Wei naturally knew what Chen Xue was thinking.

Thus, the two of them rushed to the square.

At this moment, the square was already packed with people. Almost all the martial artists from the South Mountain Base had rushed to the square. They surrounded the giant dragon densely, but did not dare to approach it.

After Lu Wei and Chen Xue arrived, they joined some other inhuman experts in the base.

“That must be the new Chief Commander, right?”

“Riding a giant dragon… Why do I find that a little familiar?”

“Doesn’t our academic faction have a famous Divine State expert who rides a giant dragon?”

“Are you talking about Lord Dragon Rider Hao Shiyi?”

“That’s right, it’s Lord Dragon Rider Hao Shiyi. He’s a famous top entity even among Divine Realm experts!”

Someone finally recognized Hao Shiyi, or rather, speculated. After all, Hao Shiyi was the only martial artist who could ride a giant dragon!

Roar.

Feeling everyone’s eyes on it, the giant dragon seemed to be somewhat discontent. Hence, it gave a loud roar towards the sky. The loud dragon roar also gave everyone a huge shock.

“Who’s the person in charge of South Mountain Base?”

Dragon Rider Hao Shiyi asked coldly.

Lu Wei immediately stepped forward and replied, “Lord Dragon Rider, I am the Acting Chief Commander of the South Mountain Base. Since Lord Dragon Rider has arrived, Lord Dragon Rider is naturally the Chief Commander of the South Mountain Base!”

“Greetings, Chief Commander!”

All the martial artists were excited from the bottom of their hearts. How could they not be happy that the reputed Dragon Rider was the Chief Commander of the base?

“Uh…”

Lin Feng was a little embarrassed, while Hao Shiyi frowned. These people seemed to be mistaken.

Hence, he pointed at Lin Feng, who was almost ignored beside him. “You must be mistaken. I’m not your Chief Commander. He’s your new Chief Commander!”

“What?”

Everyone was stunned. The square gradually fell silent, and the atmosphere became somewhat oppressive.
