Chapter 25 - Chapter 25: Shockwaves Among the High Command

"Alright, alright, I got it. I'll verify it right away."

The adjutant hung up the phone and ran to the temporary office of the 319th Corps, knocking on the door before entering.

"Raymond, you're here too, just in time."

The adjutant glanced at Raymond, who was beside Dai Xianghe, and said, "I just got a notification from the Special Warfare Management Office. A clone in our 319th Legion successfully awakened spiritual energy, and we're required to verify this individual's identity."

Surprised, Dai Xianghe paused for a moment and then said in astonishment,

"A clone awakening spiritual energy? Are you sure they didn't make a mistake? I don't think any clones from our corps have been selected to leave, right?"

"It's not anyone who's been selected; that person is still in our 319th Corps. His name is..."

As the adjutant was about to mention the name, Raymond suddenly interjected, "Isn't it Qin Tian from the Earth Dragon Team?"

"That's right, it's Qin Tian."

The adjutant raised an eyebrow, "Raymond, you're the instructor of the Clone Legion, so you must be the most familiar with Qin Tian's situation. Tell us about it; what's his situation?"

Recruits number 89757, I never thought you could come this far.

Raymond showed a complicated expression and slowly said,

"Qin Tian is from the last batch of our legion's cloned soldiers, having just come out of the incubation chamber a few days ago."

"Wait a minute!"

Dai Xianghe raised his hand, disbelief in his eyes. "You mean he just came out of the chamber a few days ago? And within a few days, this cloned soldier named Qin Tian was able to awaken spiritual energy?"

"Yes, I didn't expect it either."

Raymond said with a wry smile, "After the last batch of cloned soldiers came out of the chamber, I took them for shooting training as usual. During the first training, Qin Tian stood out with exceptional shooting talent. After a few attempts, he passed the Spirit Bird test with nearly perfect scores."

Spirit Bird Test!

Dai Xianghe and the adjutant were shocked. As military officers, they were well aware of how intense the Spirit Bird Test was. Across Alpha 7 Star, fewer than a handful of people had passed it.

For a newly released cloned soldier to pass the Spirit Bird Test after just a few attempts was a terrifying shooting talent.

"Considering Qin Tian's uniqueness, I immediately placed him in the Earth Dragon Team to replace the previous sharpshooter, Huang Xun," Raymond continued.

Dai Xianghe and the adjutant knew Huang Xun. After all, he was the best sharpshooter in the 319th Corps, but unfortunately, he died unexpectedly.

Raymond's decision to have Qin Tian replace Huang Xun in the Earth Dragon Team was a fitting arrangement both emotionally and logically.

Raymond: "After that, I kept a close eye on Qin Tian's movements. In the last battle for the Golan Heights, Qin Tian successfully sniped over 200 beastmen, a skyborne dromabeast, and a Tier Two Spirit Cat."

Hearing this, both Dai Xianghe and the adjutant were amazed at Qin Tian's shooting skills. However, the most shocking part was yet to come.

"During the later beastman night raid, Qin Tian once again shot down over two hundred Shadow Cats, more than a dozen Spirit Cats, and two Shadow Feline people. One of these Shadow Feline people was a Tier Four Beast Spirit Warrior who had killed Yang Ling, and Qin Tian avenged Yang Ling."

"I remember now."

Dai Xianghe suddenly realized, "Someone did report this to me, but I was busy accompanying Su Yunyi and never got to meet this hero. I didn't expect it to be Qin Tian."

Raymond nodded, "That's right, it's Qin Tian."

At this point, Raymond seemed to think of something, and a smile played at the corners of his eyes, "Here's something amusing, the captain of the Earth Dragon Team is named Qin Dadi."

"The captain is named Qin Dadi, and he's called... Qin Tian."

Dai Xianghe chuckled, "I bet Qin Dadi didn't give him that name. Haha, this young man is quite the character."

"Indeed."

Raymond smiled, "He's the most unique cloned soldier I've ever seen, so when the Special Warfare Management Office mentioned that our corps had a cloned soldier awaken spiritual energy, he was the first one I thought of."

"It must have been the Earth Dragon Team members who taught him the Spirit Awakening Technique. It seems they have a strong bond. They've only been together for a few days, and they're already willing to teach him the Spirit Awakening Technique."

"After all, they've gone through two battles together."

The adjutant remarked, "The battlefield is the easiest place to forge bonds."

"Yes, indeed."

Dai Xianghe and Raymond both understood this well.

Soldiers don't mess around with fancy tactics; once you've carried a gun together, you're the closest comrades. In the heat of the moment, you might even take a bullet for each other.

"Since Qin Tian's identity checks out, just go ahead and inform the Special Warfare Management Office,"

Dai Xianghe instructed, "I recall that when a cloned soldier awakens spiritual energy, it activates a special talent management regulation allowing them to enter the military academy for high-level military training."

"The war is nearing an end. I hope all the soldiers in our corps can have a good future."

"Yes!"

The adjutant left the office and immediately called back the Special Warfare Management Office.

...…

"He's actually a recruit who's been out of the chamber for less than ten days?"

Jia Xiu hung up the phone, a look of surprise in his eyes.

Awakening spiritual energy within ten days, he must be the fastest among all the clones triggering the management regulation.

To think I would handle such a unique case.

Interesting~

Jia Xiu instructed his subordinates to compile Qin Tian's information and send it to another department.

His Special Warfare Management Office was only responsible for registering information. Qin Tian's future training plan and placement would be handled by another special department.

And the highest superior of this department was none other than Marshal Lin himself.

...…

Leaving the gate of the Special Warfare Management Office, Xiao Yunlong glanced back and said, "I hope they can expedite the process and get Qin Tian's ID done quickly."

"They said the ID will be issued in a week at the latest, and as soon as three days,"

Liu Zhaozhao looked at Qin Tian and smiled, "Qin Tian, then you'll find out how many military points you've earned."

"Definitely a lot."

Xiao Yunlong chuckled, "I've already gotten over 200 military points from Qin Tian. I estimate his military points won't be less than 2000, maybe even higher."

"Hmm, I also think it'll be between 2,000 and 2,500."

Qin Dadi estimated based on past experience and then added, "With these military points, you can exchange for a pretty good rune spear."

"Qin Tian, at that time, we'll help you pick the most suitable one,"

Xiao Yunlong's eyes lit up, "Once you get the rune spear, let me try it out too."

"Sure."

Qin Tian nodded, a look of anticipation in his eyes.

He was eager to see what differences the rune spear had from ordinary firearms.

"Thanks."

Xiao Yunlong grinned and said,

"It's still early. Shall we head to the training ground? I promised Qin Tian to teach him some martial arts and sword techniques; otherwise, he might keep jumping around and headbutting enemies, embarrassing our Earth Dragon Team."

Hearing this, Qin Dadi and Liu Zhaozhao immediately recalled the battle for the Golan Heights when Qin Tian used his agile and unusual body technique to tussle with a Tier Two Spirit Cat for a long time, eventually winning with a headbutt.

It was rather impressive at the time, but thinking back now, the scene was quite humorous.

Seeing the others smiling, Qin Tian felt both speechless and helpless.

However, Xiao Yunlong was right. He did need to improve his melee skills.

His numerous talents were most suited for close combat.

"To the training ground, let's go!"
