Chapter 10: Going Out

Long Yang was called to the principal's office by Ma Fengtian. After entering the room, Ma Fengtian gestured for Long Yang to sit down.

"Come, come, Long Yang, sit here." Ma Fengtian poured a cup of water, placed it in front of Long Yang, and sat opposite him.

Long Yang took the water handed over by Ma Fengtian and asked, "Principal, is there something you need me for?"

"Hahaha, nothing urgent, just asking how Instructor Long Yang is doing here, and if you've discovered any good seedlings?" Ma Fengtian laughed heartily as he questioned Long Yang.

"Good seedlings? Most of the students in my class have quite good talent, and their training is relatively diligent. If I had to choose good seedlings from among them, Yingzhou would certainly count as one." Long Yang took a sip of water and pondered.

A look of interest appeared on Ma Fengtian's face. "Oh? Why would you choose Yingzhou? His Awakened Back Spirit is only E-Grade."

Long Yang raised his eyes to look at Ma Fengtian. "Principal Ma, you should know that an Awakened Back Spirit is just a starting point; it does not determine a person's upper limit. In our military, there are quite a few C-Grade and D-Grade Psionics whose performance on the battlefield is not necessarily inferior to those A-Grade Psionics."

Pausing, Long Yang continued, "Although Yingzhou's Awakened Back Spirit hasn't provided him with substantial combat assistance, I believe you saw it during the entrance test. The soldiers he summoned actually had quite high combat quality, and after enrolling, Yingzhou has persisted in all his training; his physical improvement is the greatest among everyone."

"To tell you the truth, I have never seen someone whose physical fitness could change so much in such a short time; Yingzhou is the first."

After hearing Long Yang's words, a glimmer of approval flashed in Ma Fengtian's eyes. He knew that Long Yang was a person with unique insight; being able to receive such a high evaluation from him showed that Yingzhou indeed possessed extraordinary potential.

"Long Yang, your observation and judgment are things I have always admired." Ma Fengtian smiled slightly. "As for this child Yingzhou, I had already noticed him during the entrance test. Although his Awakened Back Spirit is E-Grade, the tenacity and unyielding nature he displayed, as well as that spirit of not admitting defeat, are indeed impressive."

Long Yang nodded in agreement: "Yes, Principal. Yingzhou's progress is not just in his physical fitness; his control and application of Spiritual Power have also improved greatly. I believe that as long as he is given enough time and opportunity, it is entirely possible for him to surpass those so-called A-Grade Psionics."

Ma Fengtian pondered for a while, then said: "Since your evaluation of him is so high, then I think we should give him more attention and support. It just so happens that the Military District has a simple Task recently, being executed near our school, and they gave us five spots for students to observe the battle at close range. I think I'll give you two of these spots, and the other three spots to other classes."

"I understand. When exactly will they participate?" Long Yang asked with a nod.

"Two days from now, people from the Military District will come to pick you up."

After finishing his evening Gathering Spiritual Power training, Yingzhou opened the System Panel.

【Host: Yingzhou.】

【Currently Owned Legion: Death Korps of Krieg.】

【Legion Limit: 100 people.】

【Summonable Legion Personnel: 68 people.】

【Available Legion Type Extraction Attempts: 0 times.】

"Phew... I increased my Spiritual Power limit at the academy, and now it's already over half of the Legion limit. Before I graduate, I estimate the Legion limit will probably only be 100 people. By the way, System, if my Spiritual Power limit exceeds the Legion limit, how should I view my actual summonable number?"

"Of course, it displays the actual number of Legion personnel you can summon at the back, Host. Can't you think through such a simple question yourself?"

Yingzhou was just about to retort to the System when a knock sounded at the door.

Yingzhou checked the camera and discovered it was Instructor Long Yang, so he immediately closed the System Panel and got up to open the door.

"Instructor Long Yang, is there something you need?" Yingzhou opened the door and asked politely.

Long Yang walked into the room with a satisfied smile on his face: "Yingzhou, I came to tell you some good news. Due to your outstanding performance in training, the principal and I have decided to give you a special opportunity."

Yingzhou's eyes lit up, and he asked curiously: "What kind of opportunity?"

"The Military District will be executing a Task near our school in two days, and they gave us five spots for students to observe at close range. The principal gave our class two spots, and I decided to let you and Su Miao go feel that atmosphere on the battlefield. Don't worry, this Task is relatively simple." Long Yang explained.

Upon hearing this news, Yingzhou felt a surge of excitement. Since it was an executed Task, he might be able to scrape together some points to increase his Legion limit.

"Okay, thank you, Instructor!" Yingzhou said gratefully.

Long Yang nodded: "Very good, you must seize this opportunity. It can be of great help to your future improvement. Prepare yourself over these two days."

Two days later, when Yingzhou and Su Miao arrived at the meeting destination, they found that the other three were already waiting there.

Among them, Yingzhou also saw an acquaintance, Helao Da.

As long as his Back Spirit performed normally, he should also be able to enter the top twenty like Bai Tao, though that had nothing to do with him.

Helao Da looked somewhat disappointed when he saw that the person he wanted to see was not among those who had arrived.

"The people from the Military District will be here soon. I am the team leader for your outing this time—Xun Zhe. You must obey my orders during the subsequent actions, understand?"

A middle-aged, scholarly-looking man wearing a white tracksuit and glasses appeared before everyone, looked around, and spoke.

"Understood!" The five stood straight and said in unison.

"You must be Yingzhou? You've changed a lot since you first arrived!" Xun Zhe walked up to Yingzhou and asked, looking slightly up.

"Yes, Teacher Xun, hehe, the food here is good." Yingzhou rubbed the back of his head and answered with a smile.

Hearing Yingzhou's answer, the corners of Xun Zhe's mouth revealed a faint smile: "Good food is one aspect, but I see your changes are not just in weight gain; your temperament and mental state have both improved greatly. This shows that your training and efforts during this period have been effective."

Yingzhou smiled modestly: "Thank you for the compliment, Teacher Xun, I will continue to work hard."

Xun Zhe nodded, then turned to everyone and said: "This observation opportunity is extremely rare. I hope you can all take it seriously and learn useful things from it; such opportunities are few and far between."

The five students answered in unison: "Yes!"
