Li An smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and left.After he was a distance away, Meng Chen, while having Li An complete his onboarding procedures, said, "Li Shaoshu came for the assessment a few months ago.""He lost badly that time."Li An looked down at his identity card and said, "Oh.""You have a lot of confidence in him?" Meng Chen asked in return."Yes," Li An said, "I've seen his strength, back in the Immortal Realm.""He definitely can."Li An looked serious.Meng Chen scoffed, "What good is it if he can?""Holding a high position but lacking the virtue to match it, he's actually a greater harm to humanity."Li An knew immediately who Meng Chen was alluding to.Li Wuce."Who knows?" Li An said calmly.Meng Chen chuckled at this, frowning. "You're not thinking of washing Li Wuce's hands, are you?""You've grown up and forgotten what he did to you before?"Li An shook his head. "No way.""Li Wuce's crimes are heinous, he deserves to die.""I know.""Bullshit." Meng Chen looked into Li An's eyes, which held no hatred, only indifference.But Li An didn't want to say anything more, so he could only snort coldly.A few minutes later, the formalities were completed.The two walked out of the War Strategist Building.Meng Chen said finally, "Scan your ID card on the Star Platform, and you can enter the War Strategist Alliance's internal forum.""This forum mostly discusses the situation in the heavens.""Take a look." Li An's mind raced upon hearing this."Okay, I'm going back to the Temple of Cultivation.""Okay." Meng Chen nodded.On his way back to the Temple of Cultivation, Li An entered the War Strategist internal forum.He quickly searched the history and immediately found a discussion thread from several months ago about Li Shaoshu's defeat.Soon, the reason for Li Shaoshu's loss became clear.Li Wuce simply didn't teach him.A senior strategist commented below: "In terms of winning battles alone, Li Wuce is actually very strong. His ceiling is at least a Grandmaster. His child has even greater talent than him. Logically, things shouldn't have turned out this way." The senior's words silenced the intermediate, junior, and apprentice strategists.Only another senior strategist replied: "Because he was distracted by hobbies.""We all know how good Li Wuce was back then.""But that was over two thousand years ago. What has he been doing for the past two thousand years? He probably forgot all about the profession of strategist. How could he teach?""No need to speak up for Li Shaoshu. The child is indeed not at fault, but unfortunately, his father is like this. In the end, things have come to this point, and it's their own fault."Finally, Li An closed the forum.He took out his Star Platform and found a number he thought he would never get through to."Beep beep beep." At the Li residence.Li Wuce looked at the number that appeared on the satellite display. Although he had never dialed it, he knew whose it was.Li Wuce, his face stern, asked indifferently, "What is it?"Li An sighed, "I came to comfort you. Hearing your voice so strong makes me sad.""Heh," Li Wuce smirked, "You should worry about yourself.""I don't need to go to the battlefield, but I might be the one burying my child."Li An laughed, "I know, I'll dye my hair white in a couple of days.""Damn it!" Li Wuce cursed, "Are you so free now? Have time to call me and act like a fool?"Li An chuckled, "I just wanted to ask about Li Shaoshu.""If you want to be a good-for-nothing, don't let your son be one too.""He's so talented, so ambitious, how come you, his father, are so disgruntled?"Li Wuce paused for a few seconds, then said indifferently, "What's the use of talent and ambition?""Going to the battlefield, leading troops into battle, people will die."Li An's eyes changed slightly upon hearing this.So that's how it is.“But, a wandering dragon must return to the sea.”Upon hearing this, Li Wuce’s temper flared: “A wandering dragon?”“Don’t think too highly of yourself!”“Have you been reading too many novels and watching too many TV dramas and your brain has been washed?”“Do you really think being a protagonist is so easy!?”Li An, however, remained unperturbed, calmly stating, “But can you stop him?”Li Wuce coldly replied, “If he were truly a wandering dragon, he would have joined the company five months ago.”Upon hearing this,both fell silent.Until a few seconds later, a message that both of them could receive broke the silence.On the internal forum for War Strategists.A new message.“Congratulations to Li Shaoshu for perfectly passing the assessment and becoming the 1413th War Strategist.”The two men reacted differently to this message.Li An leaned back in his spaceship chair and calmly said, "The sea doesn't welcome me, but I've come anyway."To this, Li Wuce cursed, "Welcome my ass!""Hang up."Also, don't contact me again unless it's absolutely necessary!""Beep beep beep..." Communication was lost.Li An thought to himself, "My Li family was born to lead the human world to victory."This was a belief etched in his blood, unstoppable.Then.He began recruiting.Qin Kuang, Qin Xiaoye, and Cao Tianlian were given to Li Shaoshu.Who should he recruit himself?Shuangxue.There were two other candidates, whom Li An had already decided on.Fan Guanyun, talent: Fusion of All Things, a natural mechanic, and currently Liu Dahu's last disciple.The second person, without a doubt, was his humanoid mount—Lin He.In the ever-changing battlefield, speed is everything.Speed brings more comprehensive strategic information, allows for faster movement, and enables the taking of generals.Lin He needed no further explanation; a simple text message would suffice.Fan Guanyun needed a private, in-depth conversation.After returning to the Temple of Cultivation.He personally visited the fair-skinned girl, a woman of high character and a somewhat shy personality.“Li…Li An.” Seeing Li An, Fan Guanyun was a little reserved.Li An sat down naturally in front of him and said earnestly, “A year from now, I’ll be doing an internship at the Temple of Cultivation, which, to put it bluntly, is going to the battlefield.”“Are you interested in being my head of logistics?”Upon hearing this, Fan Guanyun’s eyes widened slightly, he took a deep breath, and looked hesitant.Li An smiled confidently and said, “No need to be so excited.”“You are the perfect candidate for my head of logistics.”“No, no…” Fan Guanyun stammered, “Someone came to me three months ago.”“I already agreed.”“What!?” Li An’s eyes widened as she stood up; all her confidence and composure vanished! "Who? Tell me his name!" Fan Guanyun said cautiously, "Meng...Meng Chen." Li An cursed, "That old bastard!" He immediately took out his satellite dish and made a call."Meng Chen!"Meng Chen: "Hello, hello, hello, hello, did you speak? I can't hear you. No signal. I'm on the battlefield. Message me if you need anything. That's all, I'm hanging up now.""Beep beep beep..." At this moment, Li An felt the Gaia Soul within him awakening!!
