"Tell me about the military."
Seeing Xiao Xue looking at the distant Yanjing Assembly Site, seemingly lost in thought, Wen Yu couldnât help but ask.
Upon hearing Wen Yuâs request, Xiao Xue immediately shook her head.
"I canât do that. The rebirth plan has already been abandoned; I can tell you about that. But as for the internal situation of the military, unless youâre willing to join, I really canât disclose it."
Upon hearing Xiao Xueâs words, Wen Yu chuckled softly.
"Then if I join the military, what benefits can you offer me?"
Xiao Xue lightly covered her mouth, laughing as she spoke.
"A War God title and corresponding status, plus privileges within the military, as well as various material pleasures. Is that enough?"
"Beauty, power, everything you could wantâas long as you follow orders! Of course, you only need to follow Commander Linâs orders! I can assure you, with your strength, you will become a hero who attracts much attention! More noticeable than Lord Kuangliu! You will become a symbol of the military!"
Wen Yu shook his head helplessly and said half-jokingly, "You military folk are quite realistic. I havenât even stepped into the Yanjing Assembly Site, and youâre already planning for Kuangliu to make way."
Xiao Xue winked playfully at Wen Yu.
"I never said that the military only has one War God!!!"
"Alright, alright, letâs not talk about this anymore. Iâve already violated regulations by saying this much."
Seeing Wen Yu deep in thought, Xiao Xue playfully pushed him, interrupting his train of thought.
"So, Kuangliu is only one of the War Gods?"
Xiao Xue nodded and then spoke mysteriously to Wen Yu, "Kuangliu is just the War God known to the public. The other Lord War Gods, well, theyâre a bit special... But youâll be meeting them soon. Donât be surprised then."
Wen Yu clicked his tongue. "Tsk, tsk... Are they coming to pick me up? Or are you planning to give me a show of force? This is getting interesting."
"They are indeed coming to pick you up. To be precise, *that one* isnât coming for you. As for a show of force..."
Xiao Xue, seeing the thoughtful expression on Wen Yuâs face, couldnât help but burst into laughter.
In the distance, dust billowed as a military vehicle sped over from afar!
"Theyâre here," Xiao Xue said immediately, her expression turning serious as she saw the approaching military vehicle.
At the same time, a Spiritual Fluctuation transmitted to Wen Yuâs mind. It was Star.
"Boss, itâs the aura of our kindâLevel 4 strength!"
Level 4, our kind...
Wen Yu nodded.
There could only be one explanation for what Star meant by âour kindâ! The one arriving was also a divine beast!
Looking at the approaching military vehicle, Wen Yuâs Level 4 professionist eyesight allowed him to clearly see that there was only one human inside.
Kuangliu...
And standing on his shoulder was a small, crimson bird.
The bird wasnât large, only about half the size of Star in his miniature state. Its entire body was covered in crimson feathers that seemed like flickering flames, and its pair of crimson eyes shimmered with a faint spiritual light.
Before the military vehicle drew near, a voice, clear and crisp like a little girlâs, echoed in Wen Yuâs mind.
"Are you Sequence Number 2?"
Star had mastered this ability at the Third-level; it wasnât surprising that a Level 4 divine beast could use Spirit Telepathy.
Wen Yu nodded.
Then, the Soul sound transmission came again: "So, the fellow on your shoulder is one of my kind?"
"Of course! Canât you sense my powerful life fluctuations? If you didnât have the same scent as me, I wouldnât believe someone with your IQ could be a divine beast!" Before Wen Yu could respond, Star directly connected with the crimson birdâs consciousness, exclaiming loudly in Wen Yuâs mind.
"Itâs mainly your drab, dusty appearance. Itâs rather hard to believe! Itâs truly unimaginable that a magnificent being like myself would have such an ugly kinsman! Look at you, all covered in dust! Goodness, how long has it been since you bathed?"
The mocking tone in the Spiritual Fluctuation made Star jump in anger!
Before Star could say anything, a crimson light shot out from the military vehicle, boring a large hole through its roof, and landed on Wen Yuâs shoulder.
Wen Yu glanced at the small bird on his shoulder, instantly becoming wary.
This little thing is incredibly fast! Even with my physical abilities outside of a combat state, I almost didnât react in time!
Seeing the little bird land directly on Wen Yuâs shoulder, Xiao Xue saluted it and said with a hint of amusement in her tone, "Greetings, Lord Vermilion Bird."
The little bird glanced at Xiao Xue, its small head bobbing proudly twice to acknowledge her. Only then did it turn back to size up Star, who was perched on Wen Yuâs head.
After scrutinizing Star for a full minute, the little bird finally emitted this Spiritual Fluctuation: "The more I look, the uglier you seem..."
Starâs tail was the response to the little bird.
Watching the two divine beasts bickering on his shoulder and head, Wen Yu felt a headache coming on. He grabbed one in each hand and tossed them far away.
Fortunately, the two divine beasts were too busy trying to harm each other to pay attention to Wen Yuâs action.
A red light glowed around the little bird, and then it shot off at extreme speed.
Behind it, Star slowly spread its wings and followed closely. At the same time, a Spiritual Fluctuation entered Wen Yuâs mind: "Boss, you guys go on ahead. Iâll find you after I pluck this fellowâs feathers."
"Hehe, theyâre really amusing. Itâs been a long time since Iâve seen the Vermilion Bird War God this lively." Xiao Xue couldnât help but laugh as she watched the two divine beasts fly into the distance at high speed.
Wen Yu shrugged helplessly. Having been with Star for so long, he naturally understood that Starâs current mood was more joyful than angry. It was the joy of meeting one of its own kind.
"Arenât you going?" Wen Yu patted Cyclops, who was in his arms.
"WOOF WOOF..." Cyclops barked softly, then conveyed through their mental link, "Iâm afraid that crimson bird might eat me..."
"Then never mind," Wen Yu replied.
Because of their mental link, Cyclops didnât have any particular reaction when facing Star. However, it now seemed that the suppressive aura of a divine beast towards ordinary mutant beasts was quite formidable! Even if Cyclops was powerful, when facing a divine beast, it would be innately disadvantaged, both in terms of presence and actual strength.
Finally, the military vehicle pulled up in front of Wen Yu.
Kuangliu, sitting in the driverâs seat, smiled at Wen Yu and Xiao Xue. He straightened his collar, got out of the vehicle, and extended his right hand toward Wen Yu.
"Our first formal meeting. I am Lin Kuangliu, Sequence Number 3, currently holding the position of War God White Tiger in the military."
