Chapter 168 The Shattered Crown of Legend, Death is Imminent

Seeing Lu Hu's thoughtful expression, Su Tiankuo continued earnestly, "A wise man keeps his talents hidden until the right time to act!"

Taking on tasks that are beyond one's capabilities when one lacks the necessary strength is not the act of a wise person.

This time, promoting Fangzhou directly to the rank of sergeant was just right.

Let him calm down a bit more.

A genius like him has a much wider scope for growth; we must not rush things.

Upon hearing this, Lu Hu couldn't help but recall the fierce battles on the battlefield between humans and demons, and his expression immediately turned serious.

In fact, for the students of Haicheng Military Academy, Fang Zhou was promoted to the rank of sergeant as a mere first-year student.

This is an unprecedented record, truly a one-of-a-kind instance of a scorpion defecating!

According to the four-year training program of Haicheng Military Academy and the general training speed of military academy students, first-year students are in the lower rank of apprentice when they first awaken, and are granted the rank of corporal and F-level privileges.

On average, it takes four to five months for trainees to advance to the intermediate apprentice level.

By the time the first year is over and students move up to the second year, the vast majority of them are able to advance to the apprentice level.

In the second year, most students will be stuck at the apprentice level.

It will take about a year to break through the bottleneck and achieve widespread advancement to Iron rank.

Only a small number of talented individuals, like Senior Sister Butterfly Dance, who take an early lead and maintain it at every step, can rely on their talent and hard work to succeed.

Students will be promoted to Iron grade before reaching the third grade.

For all military academy cadets, as long as they can be promoted to Black Iron rank, they will be automatically granted the rank of Sergeant and promoted to E-level authority.

After two years of military academy study, once they become Iron-level professionals, the trainees are able to master a number of professional skills, build a basic combat system, and possess good combat qualities and practical abilities.

Therefore, in the third and fourth years, the military academy will arrange a large number of combat missions, such as underground hunting, eliminating demon worshippers, clearing out ferocious beasts, and exploring space fragments.

In the third and fourth years, under the tempering of real combat on the front lines of life and death, the combat capabilities and tactical skills of military academy students will be rapidly improved.

Compared to the relatively peaceful cultivation period during the apprenticeship phase in the first two years, the cultivation speed of the senior students will naturally increase accordingly.

Most students reach the mid-Iron or high-Iron rank upon graduation.

The rank can be promoted to sergeant first class, and one can grow into an excellent junior officer.

Only a very small number of exceptionally talented students can break through the bottleneck and advance to the Bronze-level professional level before graduation.

These bronze-level trainees will be awarded the rank of second lieutenant and promoted to D-level authority. Of course, this is the normal training process.

Each cohort of military academy prospective students has a unique training path. These prospective students are generally far above average in talent and enjoy significant resource allocation from the military academy.

For example, for ordinary students, only by advancing to the Iron rank can they be granted E-level privileges.

However, these first-year military academy students, like Fang Zhou, can enjoy this kind of treatment as early as their apprenticeship stage.

With favorable timing, location, and human factors, the training progress and growth rate of elite military academy cadets will far exceed that of ordinary cadets.

As for Fang Zhou, an unprecedented genius, both Lu Hu and Su Tiankuo were prepared to let him skip grades and graduate early.

After a moment of silence, Su Tiankuo stood up, about to say something, when suddenly a surge of black energy rose from his face.

For a moment, his strong and burly body swayed slightly.

Upon seeing this, Lu Hu rushed over and helped the swaying Su Tiankuo.

He asked anxiously, "Commander, has the demonic energy corruption reached this level?"

After breathing heavily for a while and suppressing the restless demonic energy surging within his body, Su Tiankuo finally managed to recover.

He pushed Lu Hu away, his face ashen, and said, "You still have a few years before you die, what are you so nervous about?"

Maintain composure in the face of great events.

I taught you this phrase when you were just a greenhorn: "How come you're still so pathetic!"

Lu Hu turned his head, his throat bobbed twice, and his voice was somewhat dry.

"Commander, is there really no hope?"

Su Tiankuo chuckled and said calmly, "In the decades of the Mythical Era, I have never seen a legendary professional whose crown was shattered by an abyss demon live for more than 10 years."

I can hold on for a while longer, which is already much better than the other old guys.

Life and death are bearish, if you don't agree, just do it!

I, Su Tiankuo, have never been a scholar.

Spend a few more years with Xinyan, train several new recruits, and hopefully discover more rising stars like Fangzhou.

"When I'm about to die, I'll become strong. I'll condense the Royal Crown, charge into the Mythical Battlefield, and see if I can take a few down with me!"

Veterans like Su Tiankuo and Lu Hu, who were seriously injured and forced to withdraw from the front lines, had long been accustomed to life and death.

Therefore, looking at Su Tiankuo's old face, with its bristling beard and hair, exuding an imposing aura even without anger, Lu Hu felt more hatred than grief.

Hatred for the demons of the abyss.

Thinking of how he had been tortured into a cripple by the Soul Demon's [Soul-Slaying Poison Arrow], Lu Hu couldn't help but say, "Commander, I'll be with you then!"

Snapped!

Su Tiankuo slapped Lu Hu on the head, making Lu Hu's burly body bounce slightly, and then said irritably, "Stop talking nonsense!"

"I'm definitely going to die, but you're still young, you might still have a chance to recover."

Lu Hu curled his lip indifferently, assuming that Su Tiankuo was comforting him.

He was about to speak when Su Tiankuo, who knew him inside and out, waved him off.

"Xinyan told me today that during the process of purifying the core of the Blasphemous Torch, Fangzhou has also comprehended a skill called [Soul Vision], which allows him to subtly perceive the surrounding soul fluctuations."

Although I have some knowledge of the physical body, I know nothing about the soul.

But I have a feeling that, given time, Ark's talent, it might be able to deduce an even more powerful and complete soul skill tree from this brand-new [Soul Vision] skill.

Although the Soul Judges are experts at manipulating souls, I believe the Ark has a real chance of breaking the vicious curse they left behind.

At that time, you will have the opportunity to go even further.

There's absolutely no need for him to accompany this old man to his death.

Upon hearing this, Lu Hu, despite still feeling somewhat down, couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement: "Soul-based skill?"

Goodness, I really don't know how Fangzhou's brain works!

If the necromancer class has five units of luck, I think Ark alone has eight of them!

The rest of the necromancers combined still owe three bushels!

"cough!"

Su Tiankuo twitched his beard, rolled his eyes, and glared at Lu Hu.

"How dare you talk like that? I don't think even Fang Zhou is as arrogant as you!"

Mingming Xinyan is not much worse than Fangzhou!
