General Jiang looked to be in his forties or fifties. He was tall, strong, and had a rough beard.

Chen Feng had heard of his name.

He was the commander of the Ning City Battlefront and also the commander of the Ning City military.

As one of the most powerful people in Ning City, General Jiang led the entire army of Ning City.

Although he was the commander, he seemed to prefer people to call him “General”.

He didn’t expect that he would personally come to pick up this batch of new lords.

General Jiang approached the crowd, his tall figure expressing a strong sense of oppression.

He glanced around the room, especially at Lin Yao, and nodded with satisfaction.

“Good, good.”

“Your Fifth Academy has produced quite a few good seedlings this year.”

The principal smiled apologetically.

“Haha, this is all thanks to General Jiang!”

“Especially student Lin Yao, who has awakened as an S-class Elemental Lord. I think she can do more for the country and Ning City!”

Hearing this, General Jiang nodded in relief.

“Not bad.”

“Including you guys, we expect to have 12 S-Class awakened in Ning City this year!”

“There’s hope for revival…”

“However, you don’t have to say such words in the future.”

After patting the principal’s shoulder, General Jiang turned around and entered the military vehicle.

“Come on up, let’s go!”

All the students stood in a row and nodded in unison.

“Yes, sir!”

The principal was left standing awkwardly in the cold wind.

..

There were ten Overlord Academies in Ning City.

There were also dozens of military vehicles following behind General Jiang.

They were going to the military camp to meet up with the new lords from the other academies.

The people from the Fifth Academy got into the military vehicle.

Chen Feng was surprised to find that he was in the same military vehicle as the S-Class Overlord, the goddess in everyone’s eyes, Lin Yao.

The back seat of a car could only seat two people. After Chen Feng sized her up, he closed his eyes to rest.

He didn’t expect Lin Yao to speak at this time.

“Chen Feng?”

Chen Feng raised his head and looked at her in confusion.

The two of them weren’t very close, but they were in the same class in junior high.

Later on, they were selected and assigned to the Fifth Academy because of their talent.

It could be considered fate.

But that was all.

What did Lin Yao call him for?

“What’s the matter?”

His attitude wasn’t too distant, but he didn’t know why Lin Yao was looking for him.

“It’s like this,”

At this time, Lin Yao didn’t have much of the arrogance she usually had in front of others.

Her exquisite face changed, revealing a rather sincere expression.

“In the foreign Warzone _, people from the same Academy will be grouped together.”

“When the time comes, we would probably be neighbors too.”

“We’re classmates, so if you have any difficulties… You can look for me when the time comes.”

Chen Feng’s face was filled with shock.

Did goddess Lin Yao take the wrong medicine?

She ran over to show concern for him… And she even said so much in one breath?

This wasn’t her style!

And this meant… that she wants to look out for me?

Although he was surprised, he still nodded in response to the other party’s good intentions.

“Thank you, I’ll be careful.”

From the looks of it, Lin Yao still remembered their relationship in junior high?

Or was she simply trying to help his classmates?

However, Chen Feng couldn’t get an answer for the time being.

After that, Lin Yao returned to her cold goddess appearance and didn’t say a word.

Chen Feng’s heart was a mess as he pondered over all sorts of questions. He was too embarrassed to continue.

They fell into an awkward silence.

Fortunately, the military vehicle stopped not long after.

This was a military camp. It was not big, but dark green tent buildings and soldiers with loaded guns surrounded it.

The solemn atmosphere made people straighten their backs subconsciously.

Chen Feng followed the crowd and arrived at the square. He noticed that there were many people there.

At a glance, there were at least two to three hundred people, all of whom had young and inexperienced faces. They must be all the new overlords of Ning City this year.

At this moment, General Jiang was standing in front of the crowd.

Seeing that everyone was here, he cleared his throat.

“Congratulations to all of you, this year’s new lords.”

“As one in a million geniuses, to be able to stand in this place, there is no doubt that you are the pride of the entire Ning City, and even the Fire Country!”

“You are about to head to the most dangerous place. You are about to become the most outstanding warrior!”

“I hope you can grow step by step and become the guardians of mankind!”

Following General Jiang’s rhythmical speech, all the newly promoted Lords became excited.

Today’s awakening was a success, and there was no doubt that they were the lucky ones.

But at the same time, they were also the guardians of humanity in the future!

It was only now that this feeling truly came to them.

A sense of responsibility was born!

Everyone couldn’t help but raise their heads and chests, their spirits high.

Seeing the reaction below, General Jiang was very satisfied.

He continued, “the alien beast horde in the newly developed war zone this year is much more turbulent than in previous years.”

“It’s also much more dangerous than in previous years.”

“Therefore, we’ve deliberately brought forward the time of departure. It’s three days earlier than in previous years, so you have ten days!”

“In ten days, do you have the confidence to build the territory?”

The crowd below the stage nodded in excitement.

“Yes!”

“We must!”

Chen Feng furrowed his brows.

He was different from the others who were excited when they heard that they had three more days.

He smelled something not quite right.

In the past, the new lords would be given three days off to bid farewell to their families.

After that, they would head to the newly developed war zone to build their territory.

Seven days later, the alien beast horde would attack the territories of all the new overlords.

This was a test that new lords had to go through every year.

But this year, they were given ten days to prepare?

He only had that night left to say goodbye to his family.

It was really as General Jiang had said, because the alien beast horde must have been more serious.

Or was there some other reason?

However, no matter what, this was an answer that he, a new Lord with an ordinary family background, could not know.

After the speech ended, all the new lords received their respective Lord badges.

As long as one entered a parallel world, which was a foreign war zone, the badge would be automatically activated.

Next, the military vehicle sent them home.

The rest of the day would be for them to say goodbye to their families.

The next morning, they were going to the dangerous foreign war zone.

..

After the speech, General Jiang returned to the command post.

As he walked, a smile appeared on his bearded face.

“The quality of the Lords today is really not bad. ”

“12 S-Class. Even if the difficulty of this mission is increased, many of us should be able to survive.”

“Perhaps, there will be a few future stars who will bring our Ning City’s reputation to greater heights!”

The adjutant beside him nodded.

“However, General, there is a student who is different this year.”

“It’s this student called Chen Feng. He has awakened an F-Class Lord of wonders, which has never appeared in the historical data.”

“Lord of wonders?”

General Jiang waved his hand nonchalantly.
