Chapter 570 Xiao Zhantian, Li An

A few days after the Allied Forces' interdimensional war.The Human Realm's new year's military recruitment began."Name?" A stern voice rang out as he paced back and forth in the office, his mechanical prosthetic limbs creaking under his footsteps.Then, a slightly shy voice responded."Xiao Zhantian." The limping officer paused, startled.Xiao Zhantian?What kind of name is that? Isn't it a bit too arrogant?Officer: "Ahem, age."Xiao Zhantian: "Seventeen." The officer frowned. "You were recommended by Gaotian Academy.""Seventeen years old, not even graduated high school yet?""Why would your teacher send you here?"The officer said, pulling out Xiao Zhantian's resume."Seventeen years old, SSS-level talent, Crimson Flame, possessing powerful amplification effects and fire attribute damage.""Sixth-realm Martial Master.""Seventeen years old!""First place in the second year of high school at Gaotian Academy last semester!"The officer's eyes widened, his seriousness vanished, and he said earnestly, "You kid.""With this talent, with this ability, what are you doing here as a soldier?""Go back to your studies!"Xiao Zhantian looked up, serious, and said, "There's not much difference between attending military academy and university, is there?""Unless there's going to be a war!"The officer looked at the boy's determined eyes, his heart moved.His expression softened from its initial seriousness.No wonder he's a genius who's reached the sixth realm at seventeen. While he was still chasing girls at that age, this guy was already studying the affairs of the heavens.It can only be said that some people are born to be great.The army commander was named Li Tang, and had just been transferred back to headquarters from the Seventh War Zone.He had a student named Li An."Knowing there's going to be war, you still enlisted.""Looks like you're only here for the war." Li Tang sat down opposite Xiao Zhantian, patted his prosthetic arm, and said, "War is no joke.""You're only seventeen, you have a long life ahead of you, a wealth of untapped potential. If you really want to achieve something great, come back after you graduate from university."With that, Li Tang turned away, as if to see him off.At this moment, Xiao Zhantian revealed his true colors.He stated firmly, "Li An went to the battlefield at fifteen, became a key striker on the 67th front of the Seventh War Zone at sixteen, and was under eighteen when he fought for humanity at the Bright Sword Tournament!""You know all this better than anyone!""Because you were Li An's mentor, you lived in the same city, the same war zone as Li An!"Upon hearing this, Li Tang turned and said, "You even found this out?""Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated," Xiao Zhantian replied in a deep voice.Li Tang sighed, "So this is your secret to convincing your teacher to release you, isn't it?""What?""Do you want to be like Li An?"Xiao Zhantian replied earnestly, "Li An is my idol, and also my senior.""But seniors are meant to be surpassed!"Li Tang snorted coldly upon hearing this, saying, "Your ambitions are sky-high!""How will you know if you don't try?" Xiao Zhantian replied."I've predicted it; the war won't start anytime soon.""I should still have at most a year to grow.""Let me stay in the army for a year, then I'll be eighteen. Consider it a one-year probationary period.""I want to stand on the front lines, charging and fighting!"Li Tang stared into the other's eyes.The shrewdness was real, the intelligence was real.But what was most real was the lofty will in the boy's eyes."Where are your parents?" Li Tang asked.Xiao Zhantian breathed a sigh of relief; this was the final hurdle.Coincidentally, he could pass this hurdle with his eyes closed."I'm an orphan, from childhood to adulthood."...Li An finally woke up.The dim light illuminated his tired face.Beside him were Liu Dahu, Luo Chitian, and Shuangxue.They all looked at him with worry.He scratched his head and sat down, staring blankly for a while, trying to recall what had happened.Then, they greeted each other, and Li An nodded, saying he was alright.They got straight to the point.Li An looked at Luo Chitian and asked, "Is there any way to increase the toxicity and strength of the Azure Sky Poison?"He himself was almost able to withstand the poison.Even the Underworld Emperor could use it.Such a good weapon must be strengthened so that it can be used in the future.Luo Chitian told him..."The data is incorrect.""After the eighth realm, the toxicity of the Azure Heaven Poison in your body has increased.""It's been detected. As your realm increases, the toxicity and amplification intensity also increase.""Currently, your body's average strength needs to reach over 550 points to stably use this power."Li An nodded and said, "That's good." Before, he worried the poison was too potent; now he worried it wasn't enough.Luo Chitian continued, "What are you happy about?""What does 550 points mean?""You only have 448 points now, a full 100 points short!""When you reach the ninth realm, this condition will only become more stringent.""If you continue cultivating like this, you'll never fully master the unity of the three realms!"Li An nodded and said, "Unless I achieve physical sainthood, I understand that."Luo Chitian shook his head in silence.Achieving physical sainthood isn't that easy.Li An joked, "Go ahead and practice. We're about to overturn the Heavenly Realm, what's there to be afraid of in achieving sainthood through physical means?""It's good that you know what you're doing." Luo Chitian patted his behind, stood up, and left the ward.Liu Dahu finally spoke, saying, "I've taken the storage ring you stole.""I took the Ancient God Leather Armor and the Luck Bead back to study.""Now I finally understand why Saint Liu values ​​me so much.""We can't replicate the Ancient God Leather Armor, but we can replicate the Luck Bead.""I've figured it out. It's actually a formula, very complex.""I feel that every use of Luck is a formula.""Everything is difficult at the beginning.""Now that we've made a breakthrough, and know it's a formula, the Starfire Domain immediately established a research institute codenamed White Dove, filled with old scholars, to see if we can expand this area and find other formulas.""Before that, the most important thing is to collect Luck."Li An listened attentively and nodded.Liu Dahu continued, "How to use luck is a blank slate for us, but how to create luck is something we've studied extensively.""Sorcerers can see luck, and after conducting complex experiments, we'll know what can increase luck—long-term, short-term, and so on.""Your next task is to increase luck in the short term.""This method is called war." Li An raised an eyebrow.Liu Dahu then produced an invitation.The invitation was signed—The War Strategist Alliance.Liu Dahu looked at Li An with a complex expression and said, "You probably have about a year to recuperate.""A year from now, many realms will invade.""I know you don't want to become a strategist, but your current status is too special. Charging into battle is inappropriate. Besides, becoming a strategist would greatly benefit your talents and dreams. A powerful strategist's influence on the battle is definitely greater than that of a main attacker...""No need to say more." Li An raised his hand, decisively accepting the invitation from the Strategist Alliance, and calmly said, "As long as we can win, I'll do anything."PS: You guys are about to go on vacation, so I'll go on vacation too. I'll take a few days off and think more about the subsequent plot. It should revolve around 'war' and 'luck.' I'm studying military strategy books, and I feel that it will be more interesting than the main plot of a typical high-martial arts novel.
