Chapter 221 Everyone's an actor, punish me instead!
But the next second, Su Chen suddenly realized what was happening and immediately said, "Well, there's nothing I can do about that!"
"The Nine-Turned Exquisite Fruit was stolen by a demon beast. I risked my life to get it back, and then more than a dozen demon kings attacked me!"
"I was afraid the monster would steal it, so I had no choice but to swallow it!"
"If this falls into the hands of a demonic beast, wouldn't it breed a terrifying being!"
Su Chen looked aggrieved, as if he was doing it all for the greater good.
Su Lin suppressed a smile and said, "You child... well... I don't know what to say about you!"
"Once this is over, your grandfather will come to your military camp in person. Then, he'll kick your ass!!"
After saying that, he patted Su Chen on the shoulder!
Only then did he speak, "Lead the team back to Area A first. I've already taken care of the Orochi Clan members along the way!"
After saying that, Su Lin headed straight for the top of Luoguan Ridge.
Su Chen suppressed the smile on his lips, then led his team back to Area A.
Sun Qingshan and the others followed closely behind, and no one dared to delay them along the way.
Back in Area A, Su Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He said, "Treat the wounded immediately!"
"Old Sun, count the number of people and give me a casualty report!"
In war, there will naturally be casualties; this is unavoidable.
Although Su Chen was somewhat prepared, he still felt a little uncomfortable seeing this scene with his own eyes.
At this moment, Shen Qingli walked over.
Upon learning that Su Chen and the others had returned, she rushed over immediately!
"Are you alright?!"
Shen Qingli asked with concern.
Su Chen nodded. Although he had already obtained the Nine-Turn Exquisite Fruit and successfully refined it!
But he felt no joy at all.
Shen Qingli stood silently beside Su Chen, her fingers gently touching Su Chen's palm.
She wanted to try to hold Su Chen's hand.
"War is this cruel!"
"People will always die, but it is because of the selfless sacrifices of those on the front lines, who hold their ground to the death, that the Great Xia enjoys peace!"
As she spoke, she secretly took Su Chen's hand.
Su Chen didn't speak, but just lowered his head and pondered.
After a long pause, he finally spoke: "Therefore, I will slaughter all the demonic beasts and end this scourge of demonic beasts!!"
Su Chen's eyes were sharp, gleaming with an unprecedented light.
Previously, he only wanted to prove that he was not a dog son of a tiger father.
He wanted to prove to the Great Xia and to the Blue Star that he was not a piece of trash.
But now, a month-long internship at the military headquarters, having experienced a major battle, has brought Su Chen many profound insights.
Then, he looked at Shen Qingli.
"If you hold my hand again, I'll kill you!!"
Shen Qingli: "..."
"I'm a girl, can't you be a little gentler with me, have some manners!"
Su Chen sneered, "I've never had any manners whatsoever!!"
At this moment, Commander Mu and his men returned.
They were smiling, and their expressions were joyful.
Upon seeing Su Chen, they immediately surrounded him.
"Hahaha, Su Chen, you really didn't disappoint me!!"
Commander Mu was the first to speak, pulling Su Chen aside to examine him.
"He's reached the sixth level of the Golden Body Realm!"
"Tsk tsk, at this rate of cultivation, he'll probably reach the King level by the end of the first semester!"
Commander Mu was genuinely surprised.
Their tone was tinged with envy.
This is outrageous! Do you think you can become the garrison commander in your first year of university?
Or do you want to become a war god?
Lu Yunxi smiled, because no matter what, Su Chen was her student.
The fact that she has nurtured such outstanding students is enough to ensure that her name will be remembered in history.
At this moment, Su Lin stepped forward and said, "You haven't disappointed me!"
"Although the Nine-Turn Exquisite Fruit didn't fall into the hands of a demon beast, you did manage to consume it!"
"I have already reported it and am awaiting the military's decision!"
"Even though you're my son, you can't be treated specially!!"
Upon hearing this, Commander Mu immediately said, "Commander Su, Su Chen had no choice but to do this!"
"Under those circumstances, if Su Chen hadn't swallowed the Nine-Turn Exquisite Fruit, it would likely have been snatched away by the demonic beast!!"
"We were held back by powerful demonic beasts, and it was only thanks to Su Chen that we were able to seize the Nine-Turn Exquisite Fruit!"
"But in the end, he's still just a student. We already feel guilty towards him, so how can we impose harsh conditions on him!"
"During this time, Su Chen has been leading from the front in the military camp, earning numerous merits. No matter what, he has managed to prevent the Nine-Turn Exquisite Fruit from falling into the hands of demonic beasts!"
"Please, Garrison Commander Su, do not punish Su Chen."
"If punishment is truly necessary, then please punish me, Garrison Commander Su!"
Commander Mu clasped his hands in a fist and spoke, appearing extremely sincere.
Su Chen was completely bewildered. What did this mean?
Immediately afterward, another expert at the Shackles Realm spoke up: "Commander Su, Commander Mu is right!"
"No matter how you look at it, Su Chen has done a great service this time, preventing the Nine-Turn Exquisite Fruit from falling into the hands of demonic beasts and the Orochi Clan!"
"This in itself is a great achievement!"
"Although he swallowed the Nine-Turn Exquisite Fruit, it was something he had no choice but to do in a critical situation."
"Besides, it's better for us to be devoured by our own people than by monsters!"
Listening to these guys pleading for mercy, Su Chen finally understood what was going on.
So it was all just acting!
Su Chen hesitated for a moment, then took out a bottle of tomato juice, took a big gulp, and spat it out.
His body fell backward, but Sun Qingshan caught him.
"Boss Su, what's wrong with you?"
"Boss Su, don't die!!"
Sun Qingshan was a shrewd man; how could he not know what was going on?
"It's nothing, just that forcibly refining the Nine-Turn Exquisite Fruit damaged my foundation!"
Su Chen could speak without hesitation.
Commander Mu's lips twitched. You've gone a bit too far, kid.
I'm still holding the tomato juice bottle in my hand.
But he quickly added, "Commander Su, if it weren't for a desperate, emergency situation, who would be willing to risk their life on the battlefield to refine such a precious treasure!"
"Everyone knows that cultivation requires a quiet and safe environment; otherwise, a slight mishap can lead to qi deviation and damage to one's foundation!!"
"We implore Garrison Commander Su to investigate this matter thoroughly!"
The whole cast is actors!
To Commander Mu, Su Lin was his superior, and he certainly knew Su Lin's exceptional talent.
Who knows, he might become a War God someday!
Once Su Lin becomes the God of War, will the position of the Garrison Commander become vacant?
If you can latch onto the coattails of a war god, how can you not rise to the top?
Furthermore, he was all too aware of Su Chen's performance in the military camp.
To be honest, he genuinely liked Su Chen, and it was perfect that Su Chen refined the Nine-Turn Exquisite Fruit.
But this was, after all, a task assigned by the military, and it should have been handed over in principle.
Su Chen swallowed it, so there has to be a plausible reason for that...
