Chapter 305: Chief Instructor
Yang Yijian exchanged a few pleasantries with Meng Yifan, then went straight to the purpose of his visit.
"True Person Meng, I represent the Shenzhou military in inviting you to become the Chief Instructor of the Canglong Special Forces. I wonder if you would be willing?" Yang Yijian said.
"Chief Instructor of the Canglong Special Forces?" Meng Yifan pondered for a moment; he had been a mercenary for many years in the past and knew that Shenzhou possessed such a mysterious special forces unit.
During one mission in the past, Meng Yifan had even been fortunate enough to see the Canglong Special Operations Team in combat. Those special forces soldiers were all supermen with off-the-charts combat power; a ten-man team easily crushed a hundred-man Meili Country Navy SEAL team, completing the mission perfectly with zero casualties.
At that time, Meng Yifan had also fantasized about how great it would be if he could join the Canglong Special Forces. He never expected that now, Yang Yijian would suddenly invite him to be the Chief Instructor of the Canglong Special Forces.
"True Person Yang, I am usually very busy and don't have much time to stay with the special forces," Meng Yifan considered for a moment, still preparing to decline the position of Chief Instructor.
Meng Yifan's focus for future development was still in the Great Martial Heavenly Dynasty World, and he was unwilling to waste too much energy on Earth.
Yang Yijian sensed that Meng Yifan was preparing to refuse and hurriedly said, "True Person Meng, you don't need to stay with the Canglong Special Forces all the time. You only need to spare some time to come over and provide guidance on the special forces' training when you are available."
"The Canglong Special Forces are composed of Core Disciples from our Shenzhou Cultivation World. Every one of them is at least a First Grade Martial Artist. This unit bears the responsibility of guarding the land of Shenzhou and often has to fight against cultivators from other countries."
"If they encounter experts they cannot resolve, they also need our Shenzhou cultivators to step in and help."
"However, rest assured, under normal circumstances, our Shenzhou cultivators can handle it. But if we encounter experts of the Fourth Grade or above coming to cause trouble, it becomes very troublesome for us to deal with. In such situations, we hope True Person Meng can lend a helping hand."
"True Person Meng, with great power comes great responsibility. For the sake of all living beings under Heaven, and so that our Shenzhou is not bullied by foreign races, please agree," Yang Yijian pleaded with a sincere tone.
Meng Yifan hesitated for a moment. Thinking of the Shenzhou military providing him protection and launching those three interceptor missiles, they had a life-saving grace toward him. In the end, he nodded and said, "Alright, if you encounter trouble you cannot resolve, you can call me."
"Haha, that is truly wonderful." Yang Yijian was overjoyed. With a top-tier expert like Meng Yifan joining, the Canglong Special Forces finally had a powerful backer, and they could let go and fight a great battle when clashing with cultivators from other countries.
"True Person Meng, I am the Deputy Instructor of the Canglong Special Forces and can be considered one of your subordinates. Please provide more guidance in the future. Whenever you are free, let's go visit the base of the Canglong Special Forces and let those brats get to know the Chief Instructor," Yang Yijian said.
Meng Yifan said, "I have been a bit busy lately, so I won't go to the Canglong Special Forces just yet. Once I finish this busy spell and have time, I will go over to take a look."
Meng Yifan was indeed quite busy lately; he had to be busy dealing with Mushroom Bombs to counter the offensive of Lang Batian, and he also had to set about helping Zhang Sanfeng exterminate the demons in the Earth Cave.
Furthermore, Meng Yifan was preparing to seek revenge against Dongying. Those little devils had launched a Tomahawk Missile at the critical moment of his tribulation; it was too hateful. If this could be endured, what could not? Meng Yifan had to make them pay a heavy price, otherwise, his state of mind would not be clear.
"Alright, then let's exchange phone numbers so we can stay in touch if anything comes up. By the way, True Person Meng, once you become the Chief Instructor of the Canglong Special Forces, you will hold the rank of Major General."
"Not only that, but you can also legally carry a firearm. If you encounter someone endangering national security, you can directly shoot and kill them, though you will need to explain the situation to the organization afterward," Yang Yijian said.
Meng Yifan felt a bit tempted upon hearing this. His original identity was that of a mercenary, and on the land of Shenzhou, he was someone who could not be seen in the light.
Now, after becoming the Chief Instructor of the Canglong Special Forces, he would have a legitimate identity and could legally carry a gun and directly shoot those who endangered the country.
These privileges were once things the former Meng Yifan could only hope for but never obtain, but Meng Yifan was now a Fifth-grade Cultivator, so whether he held a gun or not had no impact on his combat power.
If Meng Yifan wanted to kill someone now, he wouldn't need to fire a gun at all. With just a thought, he could unleash a Spiritual Power shock to destroy the enemy's Consciousness Sea, causing instant brain death. Even if the body were still alive, they would become a vegetable.
"True Person Yang, I wonder if you could provide me with some Immortal Cultivation Techniques for the seven elements of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, and Thunder?" Meng Yifan asked.
Meng Yifan had learned the Yin-Yang Cultivation Method from Zhang Sanfeng, and during his tribulation, he had absorbed some Lightning Spirit Qi. He had used his Yin-Yang Spirit Power to envelop it and perform a full-body circulation, forcibly converting some Lightning Spirit Power, but he still did not understand the methods of application and could not fully unleash the power of the Lightning Spirit Power.
"Immortal Cultivation Techniques?" Yang Yijian hesitated for a moment. By rights, true Immortal Cultivation Techniques were the closely guarded secrets of every major sect; if one stole the techniques, they would be irreconcilable enemies.
Even now, the sect leaders of the major sects still held to the old rules and were unwilling to easily pass on their own Immortal Cultivation Techniques.
However, because Earth had entered the End of Dharma Era, cultivation was becoming increasingly difficult. Some sects did not even have a single disciple who had cultivated Spirit Power, and some sects had even closed their doors for good.
Some Immortal Cultivation Techniques had leaked out, and the Canglong Special Forces had still collected a few types of Immortal Cultivation Techniques over so many years.
But regarding Immortal Cultivation Techniques, it was not the case that the more one cultivated, the more powerful one became.
A cultivator's energy was limited, and cultivation resources were also limited. Under normal circumstances, a cultivator would only cultivate one Immortal Cultivation Technique. Even if they wanted to learn by analogy, they would choose other techniques within the same element.
Meng Yifan mainly cultivated the Yin-Yang Cultivation Method, and now he wanted Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, and Thunder. What did he want to do? Could he possibly want Nine-System Cultivation? That was impossible, right?
"True Person Meng, the organization has collected some Immortal Cultivation Techniques, which are stored in the Scripture Depository. As the Chief Instructor of the Canglong Special Forces, you have the authority to enter and choose techniques."
"However, this Daoist still wants to advise you: the more techniques you cultivate, the slower your cultivation speed will be. It is truly not worth the loss; it is better to specialize in one or two techniques to go further," Yang Yijian said.
Meng Yifan was overjoyed. He had only asked casually and never expected that the Canglong Special Forces would actually have techniques; this solved his urgent need.
As for Yang Yijian's worry that cultivating too many techniques would slow down his cultivation speed, Meng Yifan was not worried at all. With the Game Panel in hand, he could level up just by killing monsters.
In the Great Martial Heavenly Dynasty World, there were Monster Armies everywhere and experience-giving monsters everywhere; there was simply no need to worry about the problem of slow leveling.
