Chapter 222 The Great Battle of Prodigies, Star Pivot Nine Palaces Tower!
Seeing this, Su Lin also looked quite troubled.
He looked at Su Chen, and then at Commander Mu.
His worried expression seemed genuinely one of helplessness and inner turmoil.
After a long pause, he finally spoke, saying, "The Nine-Turn Exquisite Fruit is an important strategic resource for our military!!"
"This matter is of paramount importance, even concerning the future destiny of our Great Xia Dynasty!"
"If Su Chen just eats this, wouldn't people think that I, Su Lin, did it on purpose!"
Su Chen's lips twitched as he looked at his father. How come he never noticed before that this old man was such a good actor!
Good heavens, really good heavens!
Commander Mu quickly said, "But Garrison Commander Su, if it weren't for Su Chen, this Nine-Turn Exquisite Fruit would already be in the hands of a demon beast!"
"This is definitely not the scene the military wants to see!"
"As I said before, everyone knows that cultivation requires a quiet and safe environment, let alone refining such a treasure."
"Su Chen swallowed the Nine-Turn Exquisite Fruit under those circumstances, clearly indicating he was prepared to die!"
"Look, his very foundation is damaged!!"
Commander Mu's eyes were filled with tears, and his words were incredibly moving.
The other two Shackled Realm experts also spoke up to defend Su Chen.
Lu Yunxi didn't say anything, she just stood aside and watched quietly.
Then, Su Chen let out a helpless sigh.
"Fine, I can only report this matter and await the military's decision!"
"The military should handle this according to the rules; they must not show any favoritism simply because Su Chen is my son!!"
After saying that, Su Lin reported the matter again.
Su Chen lay on the ground, utterly speechless. He was putting on quite a show.
Then, Commander Mu stood up and said, "Take Su Chen to the infirmary first!"
Team Leader Zhao then quickly picked up Su Chen and headed straight for the infirmary.
Upon arriving at the infirmary, Captain Zhao finally spoke: "Master Su, this isn't over yet. You'd better stick to your story, or things will get complicated!"
He knew all too well that many people had their eyes on the Nine-Turned Exquisite Fruit.
Once it reaches the military headquarters, it's no longer up to them to make a decision.
I fear that some sleeping old monsters will emerge to fight for their descendants.
Su Chen naturally knew this, and he nodded, not caring.
Not happy? Go tell my guardian father and my war god grandfather!
Soon, Su Lin also arrived at the infirmary.
He slapped Su Chen.
"Alright, there are no outsiders here, stop pretending!"
Su Chen then sat up and said, "Old Deng, you arranged this all along, didn't you?!"
Upon hearing this, Su Lin frowned slightly and said, "Nonsense! I, Su Lin, have lived an upright life; how could I possibly do such a despicable thing?!"
He paused for a moment before looking at Su Chen: "Of course, you're the exception!!"
Su Chen was stunned, not expecting Su Lin to say such a thing!
Then, Su Lin continued, "Of course, the military doesn't want such a priceless treasure to be taken away by someone else without any explanation!"
"This item is of great importance. The military wants it to be used on someone who is truly willing to go to the battlefield and shed blood for the Great Xia."
"In today's Great Xia, too many people have forgotten the cruelty of the battlefield, habitually taking from others..."
At this point, Su Lin paused and did not continue.
Su Chen seemed to be deep in thought, but did not speak.
Immediately afterwards, Su Lin grabbed his hand, and a force entered Su Chen's body, carefully examining him.
He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Su Chen was alright.
"There's no problem at all. I was worried that if you forced yourself to refine it, it would damage your foundation!"
"Looks like you're much more capable than I imagined!!"
Su Lin was clearly pleased when she said this.
Su Chen's progress in such a short period of time is truly astounding!
He's only a freshman, yet he's already reached the sixth level of the Golden Body Realm.
At this rate, by the time Su Chen graduates from university, he will probably have already reached the level of a War God, or even more terrifying!
Thinking of this, Su Lin patted Su Chen on the shoulder and laughed, "You really don't disappoint!"
"Have you thought about what to do next?"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen said, "I originally wanted to stay on the front lines to continue my internship, but I don't know what the Imperial Academy's intentions are!"
Upon hearing Su Chen's idea, Su Lin simply nodded.
After a brief silence, he said, "The great battle of geniuses is about to begin!"
"With your current cultivation level, you are fully capable of participating in the Great Battle of Prodigies."
"So, my idea is that after your internship ends, you should go back to the Imperial Academy and participate in the Battle of the Prodigies!"
At this point, Su Lin paused for a moment before continuing, "The top thirty from this battle of prodigies will be selected to represent Divine Xia and enter the Star Pivot Nine Palaces Tower!!"
"The Nine Palaces Tower of the Star Hub?"
Su Chen was curious, as it was the first time he had heard this name.
Su Lin nodded and said, "That's right, the Star Pivot Nine Palaces Tower!"
"That was a pagoda that fell from the stars along with the invading monsters!"
"The tower is fraught with danger, but it also holds immense opportunities!!"
"Human martial arts are closely related to it to a large extent."
"The opportunities gained from entering this realm, to a certain extent, also concern the future of our Sherlock!"
"So... I want you to come in!!"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen looked at Su Lin, seemingly still processing the news.
"There are also rumors that this Star Hub Nine Palaces Tower connects to the starry sky!"
"But no one has been able to prove this from the beginning!"
Su Lin spoke again.
Upon hearing this, Su Chen replied, "So, you mean you want me to participate in the Heavenly Pride Battle and win a spot in the top thirty?"
"Then enter the Star Nexus Nine Palaces Tower!!"
Su Lin nodded, his expression slightly serious: "With your talent and strength, securing a top-thirty position shouldn't be difficult!"
"As long as you can enter the Star Nexus Nine Palaces Tower and successfully return..."
"The military can then grant you the position of commander!"
"Once your cultivation reaches a certain level, you will be granted the position of Garrison Commander!"
"In short, as long as you come back, you'll receive protection from the military!!"
Su Chen understood what Su Lin meant.
So he nodded and said, "That's fine!"
"But... Old Deng, you need to drop some gold coins! I've been working hard to improve my cultivation level lately!"
"The sixth level of the Golden Body Realm is still not enough!"
Upon hearing this, Su Lin smiled and offered Su Chen a large amount of valuable resources.
Su Chen couldn't stop smiling!
At this moment, Su Lin continued, "By the way... your internship is about to end!"
"Your grandfather will make time to come over, probably in the next day or two!"
"Get ready, and give the old man a real shock!"
"As for the Nine-Turn Exquisite Fruit, you don't need to worry about it. Just remember what I told you!"
"If anyone really wants to mess with you, the Su family isn't someone to be trifled with!!"
