Chapter 169 - Soldier (2/2)

“Wait, what did you say just now?” He gave his best friend a profound look. “Did you just say OUR Shao Jianqing?”

Chu Feixiong looked at him gloomily. “Will you pay attention to the main point? Is the main point my grudge with that woman? The main point is that having good grades during the national college examination is nothing. At most, you’re just a normal genius. The ones who don’t need to take part in the national college examination and have the universities offer them all sorts of great conditions to join them are the real geniuses!

“I heard that you did pretty well during the admission test of Agricultural University’s martial arts course and suppressed the Four Great Kings with brute force, right? That’s awesome, but I have to say, you don’t have the right to be called strong just because you scored high during your national college examination.

“Shao Jianqing, Wu Wu, the future star of the martial arts course’s gun fighting style, and the machine maniac from the University of Technology’s machine course are the real Four Great Kings of the alliance of five universities!”

“Are they?” Meng Chao asked with a frown. “Are Shao Jianqing and the rest really as good as Wu Wu?”

Chu Feixiong nodded. “I don’t know how strong the monster controller course’s Wu Wu is, but since they’re all specially recruited for the fighting courses, they should be about the same strength, right?”

“That’s good.” Meng Chao’s frown disappeared. “If they’re really powerful enemies who are about the same level as Wu Wu, I won’t be so lonely walking down my path of a superhuman.”

Chu Feixiong looked at him as if he had something to say. Then, he stood up and started walking outside.

Meng Chao was a little stunned. “Where are you going? Aren’t you going to eat?”

“I can’t eat while looking at you,” Chu Feixiong said. “It’s better if I use every single second I have to hunt Three-eyed Spirit Cats to prove to that Shao Jianqing that the Army Fist can kill nimble monsters.”

“Alright, give me your tactical communications number. We’ll meet up at night. Get a few more boys from the military school, and we can criticize the Ultimate Style together.”

Meng Chao and Chu Feixiong exchanged temporary contact information.

“Stupid Soldier, we’re leaving!” Chu Feixiong sighed and glanced at the faint green humanoid-shaped spirit floating dumbly behind him. “Forget about ‘becoming the strongest among those in the Spirit Tattoo Realm and suppressing the female squad leader’. We should just work hard and become stronger. Even if we become the second weakest heroic spirit and heroic spirit user, at least it won’t be as embarrassing as it was in the past, right?”

Xu Wanshan seemed to be able to understand his heroic spirit user’s words.

He did not seem to have any sort of displeasure toward being called Stupid Soldier. A matter-of-fact expression appeared on his rather blurry face, as if this was the name that he was supposed to have. He trailed behind Chu Feixiong quietly as if he was following his former squad leader in the past.

“Hang on,” Meng Chao said when they were about to disappear. “Is your heroic spirit really called Stupid Soldier?”

A heroic spirit born from fragments was a different thing compared to a powerful fighter when they were alive.

Heroic spirits were not ghosts, but neither were they people. They were powerful determination and a brand of will. They were like psychological pictures and videos.

A powerful fighter’s fragmented soul could be divided to form multiple heroic spirits.

And when countless fighters’ fragmented souls shared the same wish, mindset, and determination, they could gather together to form a heroic spirit.

Hence, heroic spirits were usually not known by their original name. Instead, they had a nickname that represented their characteristic, origin, or wish.

Shao Jianqing’s heroic spirit was not known as Su Jianqing, but Female Battle God.

“It’s fine,” Chu Feixiong said nonchalantly. “Xu Wanshan’s former squad leader and comrades called him this in the past.”

“Would you be the same as his former squad leader and comrades?” Meng Chao asked. “Even if he was just a logistics officer when he died, he still joined the army earlier than you, and based on the rules of the army, he’s your senior, right? Don’t go looking down on him because he’s weak. I think he’s pretty unlucky to get a heroic spirit user like you.

“Besides, once you start practicing the Ultimate Style and become stronger, you’ll be improving by leaps and bounds. When you become a war hero, the media and citizens will be cheering for you. Other heroic spirit users will say their heroic spirits are Thunder God, Female Battle God, Black Guardian God, and whatnot, which are awe-inspiring and grand names, but you will say Stupid Soldier? Who do you think will be embarrassing who at that time?”

“Makes sense. Looks like I should give him a proper name.” Chu Feixiong scratched his head and stared at his heroic spirit for a long time before he sighed. “Honestly, I’ve thought of it before. After I inherited the will of a powerful fighter, I would give it the name of Lightning General, Grand Marshal, Guardian Vanguard or something that sounds really domineering, but if I use them on him, it’ll be wrong, and people will laugh at him.

“You’ve only been a foot soldier your entire life, and I don’t think I’ll have the chance of becoming a general so… I’ll call you Soldier!”

Soldier was very satisfied with his new name.

The spirit flames gathered together to form a huge, honest, and pure smile.

It was as if he had just received the best name in the world.

Chu Feixiong could only smile in resignation. He clenched his fists tightly and stepped on the mysterious battlefield with Soldier.
