Chapter 3: Krieg Death Korps

Tan Xiaotong looked in surprise at the somewhat thin young man before her; she remembered that not long ago, this guy had been pestering her constantly, yet now he didn't even intend to speak to her?

Although what he said was indeed reasonable, the person who should have been saying those words was clearly herself.

Just then, the loud voice of Captain Lu Yu came through.

"Everyone, assemble!"

89 students gathered together, looking at Captain Lu Yu with anticipation in their eyes, as a female researcher in a white lab coat stepped forward and began to speak.

"Congratulations to all students for awakening your Back Spirits. Now we will begin testing the abilities of your Back Spirits to record and classify them."

"Combat-type Back Spirits are generally divided into two kinds. One is where the Back Spirit can strengthen one's own physical constitution, allowing oneself to gain more powerful strength; most of the veterans in the Military District have Back Spirits that can strengthen themselves."

"The other type of combat-type Back Spirit is summoning the Back Spirit out to help oneself fight. This type of Back Spirit generally depends on the host's Spiritual Power level; the higher the Spiritual Power, the greater the power the Back Spirit exerts, and the longer it exists."

"Besides these two more common types of combat-type Back Spirits, there is another kind of combat-type Back Spirit where you randomly summon other people from that world. In this case, the helpers summoned are generally not very strong, but this situation is also relatively rare; so far, only three people have been found to have awakened this kind of Back Spirit."

The female researcher turned a page of the data in her hand and continued.

"Next is the auxiliary-type Back Spirit. There are many kinds of this type of Back Spirit, so our standard for defining them is any Back Spirit that is helpful to the production of the Human Alliance; Back Spirits that can heal the wounded are all counted as auxiliary-type."

"Below, we will begin testing the abilities of the Back Spirits for all students and classify them. When you go to the Lingnengzhe Xuexiao later, you can also choose the corresponding teacher according to your Back Spirit."

"The first one, Tan Xiaotong."

Tan Xiaotong walked to the prepared field, and following the researcher's instructions, flames soon appeared around her, circling her.

"Very good, you can retract your Back Spirit ability. Tan Xiaotong, belongs to the self-strengthening combat type."

"Helao Da, self-strengthening combat type."

"Bai Tao, self-strengthening combat type."

"Xu Kun, self-strengthening combat type."

"Xu Miaoyun, healing auxiliary type."

"The last one, Yingzhou."

Yingzhou came to the spacious field and, following the researcher's prompt, began to summon his Legion.

"System, summon five Krieg soldiers."

Subsequently, a Rift appeared behind Yingzhou, and the sound of synchronized footsteps came from within.

They wore black helmets and thick gas masks on their faces. They wore dark gray special coats made of high-tech materials that could effectively resist various attacks and the influence of harsh environments. They held laser carbines in their hands, weapons of immense power capable of easily piercing enemy defenses. At their waists were tucked razor-sharp Entrenching Tools. Each person carried a bulging backpack on their shoulders.

After the five Krieg soldiers walked out of the Rift, they saw the phantom of the Emperor behind Yingzhou.

The five Krieg soldiers slung their carbines over their right shoulders, crossed their hands over their chests, and saluted Yingzhou.

"This is... a randomly summoned Back Spirit." Upon seeing that the people Yingzhou summoned were not the same as a Back Spirit, the researcher realized that this child's future was already cut off.

Yingzhou did not pay attention to the researcher's words; he looked at the loyal Krieg soldiers before him and nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good, you will fight alongside me in this world, and I will witness your Loyalty and bravery! For now, you may stand down."

Upon hearing Yingzhou's words, the five Krieg soldiers stiffened suddenly, then quickly followed Yingzhou's command and returned into the Rift.

Although Yingzhou had seen on short videos that the survival rate of Krieg soldiers on the battlefield was not high, that was their world; this world might not necessarily be more dangerous than their original one.

Yingzhou returned to the ranks, and he saw that most people looked at him with pity; well, in their eyes, the Legion he summoned might just be some cannon fodder.

"Brother, look on the bright side," Bai Tao said comfortingly as he saw Yingzhou return to the team.

Yingzhou shook his head and gave a helpless, bitter smile. Returning to the ranks, the principal said to them.

"Go home today and pack your luggage; assemble at the school tomorrow, and the school will send you all to the Lingnengzhe Xuexiao together."

The team was dismissed, and everyone left the school. Yingzhou was full of anticipation for going to the Lingnengzhe Xuexiao tomorrow; only by increasing his Spiritual Power could he summon more Krieg soldiers.

"Yingzhou, let's go out for a bite to eat today. Once we go to the Lingnengzhe Xuexiao tomorrow, our chances of meeting will become fewer. Don't worry, my treat!" Bai Tao said beside Yingzhou.

"Hmm, alright, where shall we go for a bite?" Yingzhou thought for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.

"There is a fried chicken shop in the Production Zone; let's go there." Bai Tao clearly had already decided where to go, and seeing Yingzhou agree, he immediately stated the place.

The two soon arrived at the fried chicken shop Bai Tao mentioned; the customers here were all logistics personnel who had awakened auxiliary-type Back Spirits.

Just as the two approached the fried chicken shop, they saw their classmate Helao Da and several other classmates who had awakened Back Spirits sitting at a table eating fried chicken.

"Damn, talk about a narrow path," Bai Tao said, and seeing Helao Da and his group, he had to find a relatively secluded corner to sit down.

Even so, Helao Da still saw the two of them.

"Yo, isn't this Yingzhou, who awakened a trash Back Spirit? Your luck is truly terrible; counting it up, including you, there are only four of this Back Spirit in the entire Human Alliance. You hit the jackpot!"

Bai Tao wanted to retort, but was stopped by Yingzhou, "Would you bicker with a dog?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Tao felt relieved and laughed out loud, "Indeed, that would make us look pathetic."

Seeing that Yingzhou dared to talk back, Helao Da stood up with an unfriendly expression, but just at this moment, the door of the fried chicken shop was opened again.

Tan Xiaotong walked in with a girl, and seeing Helao Da waving at her, she walked over and sat at their table.

"Xiaotong, you finally came. We will definitely be assigned to the same class group today; we can exchange more questions about Spiritual Power in the future."

"Hmm, sure," Tan Xiaotong replied with a polite smile.

Yingfang sat down in a Meeting Room with other officers.

"Intelligence from the Human Alliance side indicates that there are traces of an Alien Race in the Xizhou District recently. We must find that guy in the shortest possible time and eliminate it," Lu Yu said calmly as he took out a file and spoke to everyone.

"An Alien Race again! Those guys are in a stalemate with us on the front lines and want to use these despicable means to cause division within us! How detestable!" an officer said, slamming the table in anger.

"Exactly! These damned Alien Races! They only know how to use some cheap tricks," another officer echoed.

"Enough! Let's not say these meaningless words anymore. Based on the intelligence, we infer that the Alien Race that infiltrated the Xizhou District this time is an Orc assassin, with a quantity of about a 10-man squad. They are good at creating chaos and have strong individual combat capabilities. You must start investigating in the Xizhou District in teams of two. Once discovered, send a signal immediately, and the others must provide full support to the signal source upon receiving it," Lu Yu signaled for everyone to be quiet and began to assign the Task.

"Wear plain clothes for this trip; do not miss any location."

"Yes!" The officers stood up and saluted Lu Yu.

The group left the Meeting Room and began to change clothes. Yingfang put his military uniform into the wardrobe and changed into the clothes Lu Yu had prepared for everyone. The group then headed to their respective search areas according to the teams Lu Yu had just assigned.

Yingfang and the other officers launched a carpet search in the Xizhou District; they carefully checked every corner, not letting go of any possible clues.

"Yingfang, I heard your brother also participated in the Awakening Ceremony today?" Yingfang's teammate Chenjie asked.

"Mm, that's the student who awakened the Random Summoning Behind-Spirit," Yingfang replied with a nod.

"Oh! Him. What a pity; to think he awakened that kind of Back Spirit, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for him to advance in the future," Chenjie said, sighing as he looked at the corners of the surroundings.

"This must be fate, though at least it's better than being in the Production Zone," Yingfang also said helplessly.

Just then, Yingfang saw Yingzhou walking out of a fried chicken shop with a student.
