Global Deities: Rising as Wood Elves' God

Chapter 551: Chapter 339: Accepting the Rank of Lieutenant from the Yanhuang Federation Military; Accepting the Subspace Origin

Zhang Yi also deserved some credit for Lu Mei receiving the rank of Sergeant First Class. However, her Sunbird Clan Army had, in fact, been the main force in the fight against Elias, the Candidate Saint Child from the White Eagle Federation. No one could deny her contribution.

“Cadet Xiao Chen…”

For the cadets who received their ranks afterward, the highest was Sergeant First Class, and the lowest was Corporal, with the rank of Sergeant in between. As for Tuoba Yu, he was only awarded the rank of Sergeant.

Tuoba Yu’s expression was visibly cold.

Zhang Yi figured this was likely related to Tuoba Yu’s insubordination during the third-round exchange match at the University Alliance Training Camp, where he had defied his orders. Otherwise, given Tuoba Yu’s outstanding performance in the first two rounds of the University Alliance Training Camp, there was no way he would have only received the rank of Sergeant. He should have been a Sergeant First Class.

When the rank conferment ceremony concluded, Vice Admiral Li Taoyun of the Third War Zone’s First Expeditionary Corps, representing the Yanhuang Federation Military, stepped forward to give the final address.

“The ranks you’ve been awarded today may not match what many of you expected. However, this is not a bad thing. It’s a good thing!” Vice Admiral Li Taoyun raised his voice. “It was your own hard work that allowed your team to triumph over the cadets from the other federations in the third-round exchange match of the University Alliance Training Camp. Without your contributions, you would not have the ranks you hold today.

“It was precisely because of your outstanding contributions during the third-round exchange match at the University Alliance Training Camp that the Yanhuang Federation Military was prompted to make this decision. Remember, the ranks you have received are not only your honor but also your responsibility! From this day forward, all of you will become reserve officers of the Yanhuang Federation.

“In the future, whether you’re accumulating merits on the battlefield during your final year of university or entering a military district after graduation, you will be grateful for the ranks bestowed upon you today, for they will make your future path much smoother!”

At this, Vice Admiral Li Taoyun paused.

“But most importantly, remember your identity as cadets of the Yanhuang Federation, and remember that you belong to the Blue Star Federation!”

“Yes, sir!” the fifty cadets of the Yanhuang Federation responded in unison.

“Zhang Yi, I have high hopes for you!” Vice Admiral Li Taoyun extended an invitation to Zhang Yi. “If you’re considering your future, you can come to my First Expeditionary Corps in the Third War Zone and serve as my adjutant. I would welcome you!”

However, he didn’t wait for Zhang Yi’s reply, nor did he press him to make a decision on the spot. After saying this, Vice Admiral Li Taoyun uttered one final word.

“Dismissed!”

Then, Vice Admiral Li Taoyun and the rest of the personnel from the Yanhuang Federation Military departed, leaving only Chief Instructor Yang and the other instructors from the University Alliance Training Camp.

Only after Vice Admiral Li Taoyun had left with all the military personnel did the Yanhuang Federation cadets behind Zhang Yi dare to speak in hushed voices. A sudden surprise, long-suppressed excitement, and various other emotions intertwined, instantly igniting a thrill among the cadets. They immediately began to discuss the military ranks the Yanhuang Federation Military had just awarded them.

“Brother Zhang! You’re amazing, Brother Zhang!” Hong Tianyi was the first to rush over, his face red with excitement. “That’s a Lieutenant rank! Of all the Yanhuang Federation cadets in our year at the University Alliance Training Camp, your rank is the highest, Brother Zhang! Even if you count all the previous years, no cadet from the Yanhuang Federation has ever received a rank as high as yours!”

Hong Tianyi exclaimed, his excitement becoming all the more indescribable the more he spoke. After all, Zhang Yi was his big brother, and he was proud of his success.

In the eyes of the other Yanhuang Federation cadets, Lu Mei was very reserved. But now, she couldn’t hide the joy in her heart. So much so that the other cadets actually saw the “Fire Witch” smile. Lu Mei was so happy, in part, because she had received the rank of Sergeant First Class. But she was also happy for Zhang Yi.

Generally speaking, in any normal relationship, when one person achieves something, the other can’t help but feel happy for them. If your partner is genuinely unhappy about it, then congratulations, you’ve found yourself a real piece of work!

This joy was shared by Gu Yun as well. Facing Zhang Yi, Gu Yun expressed his admiration. “Captain, with this Lieutenant rank, you’ve saved yourself decades in the military’s promotion system. Perhaps even close to a century.”

The Blue Star Federation was in its third era, a time of outward expansion and Pioneer Wars. Therefore, any Demigod or True God who wanted to climb the ranks would actively apply to join the Pioneer Corps. If you chose the Defender Army to guard the Blue Star Federation’s territory, you would only earn a handful of Points. When would you ever accumulate enough merits for a higher rank? A single Pioneer War could last for more than a decade, and merits and rewards were only handed out after the war was over. So Gu Yun really had a point.

And if Lu Mei and Hong Tianyi, with their Sergeant First Class ranks, and Gu Yun, with his Second Lieutenant rank, were all happy, then it went without saying for Lan Miao, who was second only to Zhang Yi and had also received the rank of Second Lieutenant.

To be honest, aside from the assessment round for the Golden Thrones upon entering the University Alliance Training Camp, where Lan Miao had made a name for himself by seizing one of the ten thrones…
