Chapter 395 Seven Martial Veins, Fight for the Position of Commander! (Two in One)

"Well, I'll remember it." Hu Zong said, and agreed to the recommendation without much hesitation.

He certainly knew how strong Song Changming was, after all, he had personally taught Song Changming swordsmanship before.

However, he did not make this public, so no one knew about it.

Song Changming has the potential to become the top combat force in the military, and is also qualified to be the commander-in-chief of the army. He is very sure of this.

Originally, he wanted to wait a little longer, let Song Changming have more military experience, and have a stronger sense of belonging to the military before making a decision to support this kid to the position.

But now, since the time has come.

This opportunity is in front of him, and he himself is a little unreasonable if he doesn't give Song Changming a push.

Of course, whether he can finally break through the siege and stand out depends on Song Changming's personal performance.

"I think it should be no problem." He has full confidence in Song Changming.

On the other hand, Song Changming didn't know that he had been included in the list of commanders.

At this moment, he was in the house, studying the drop of earth core fire milk given to him by Su Fengye.

After checking and verifying from many sources during this period of time, Song Changming has a better understanding of this Earth Core Fire Milk and understands its true value.

Such a small drop can help to break through the Grandmaster Realm. Even if it only increases the success rate of the breakthrough by one percent, it is a priceless treasure.

After all, there are only so many Grandmasters in the world. Looking at the entire ancient Yuan people, with such a large population base, only a small number of martial arts Grandmasters can be born.

It can be said that this thing is as precious as the Grandmaster.

If the news of this drop of Earth Core Fire Milk in his hand is released, I think there will be countless martial artists in the Innate Perfection Realm visiting.

It will even cause a lot of trouble and meet those blind people.

"It's really extravagant." Song Changming looked at the Earth Core Fire Milk in his hand, which was wrapped in his Gangqi energy.

With his current Innate Realm cultivation, it is indeed a waste to use this Earth Core Fire Milk.

But it is not his character to keep good things hidden until the future.

He is a person who focuses on the present, and if this treasure is kept for a long time, it will inevitably dissipate its essence and lose its effectiveness, which will be counterproductive.

He must use it, and he will use it today.

Although it cannot help him break through the Grandmaster Realm, it can open up the first Tianwu Meridian for him at the moment, which is also very good.

Without thinking too much, Song Changming opened his mouth and swallowed the drop of earth core fire milk wrapped by his aura, and began to operate the Xiantian Jue.

Boom!

A huge heat burst out from his body in an instant, rushing straight to the top of his head.

Immediately afterwards, Song Changming felt numb all over his body, and his meridians seemed to be reforged in a furnace under this huge and surging heat.

Song Changming had to concentrate and release more mental power to guide this heat with the Xiantian Jue to impact the Tianwu Meridian in his body that was still in a closed state.

Soon, his Tianwu Meridian was loosened, and the effect was remarkable.

Every loosening of the Tianwu Meridian and every opening of a point are huge achievements that can only be gradually achieved through his long-term practice.

It may take three, five, or even seven or eight years for him to finally open such a Tianwu Meridian.

For other warriors, if they are not talented enough, this drop of Earth Core Fire Milk is a life-changing thing!

I don’t know how long it took, until a certain moment, the surrounding spiritual energy was suddenly aroused, and an invisible spiritual energy vortex was formed in the room where Song Changming was.

Then Song Changming’s innate energy rioted, and under the effect of the innate secret, it turned into a purple gold fire, which completely enveloped him.

His breath began to rise and become unstable, and the burning purple gold fire also began to transform.

All signs indicate that Song Changming opened his first Tianwu Meridian without any accident this time.

In the innate realm, the nine martial veins are like nine shackles, which weigh him down.

Only when all nine shackles are removed can he fly freely between heaven and earth without any sense of restraint.

Now he has removed seven layers of shackles, and has taken another big step towards the innate perfection realm!

The heat in his body receded, and the drop of earth core fire milk in his abdomen had long disappeared.

After stabilizing his breath and realm, Song Changming opened his eyes and looked at the surrounding qi swirling around him, which was much stronger than yesterday.

No wonder, the six earth martial veins and the remaining three heaven martial veins are the biggest watershed in the innate realm.

Without considering other factors, judging from the strength of the innate qi, ten warriors who have opened up six earth martial veins may not be able to defeat a warrior who has opened up one heaven martial vein!

The transformation of qi brought about by opening up the heaven martial vein is undoubtedly huge.

Even though Song Changming's physical body is strong and he has long been able to kill top demon generals and warriors who should be in the innate perfection realm, the improvement in strength brought by the qi is still visible to the naked eye!

Qi training and body training are two completely different training systems. When combined, they always add up to each other. There is no such thing as getting weaker the more you practice.

Song Changming clenched his right fist fiercely. The terrifying power was hidden inside, and the surface of the fist was covered with a layer of high-density purple-gold flames. At first glance, it looked like a pair of boxing gloves.

"With my current physical strength, combined with this innate qi, there should be no rivals under the big monsters."

At this moment, his confidence was high.

Even when facing big monsters, he didn't seem to be so afraid.

The continuous improvement of his strength made him feel at ease. Even in this period of darkness when monsters were raging, he could be more at ease.

The next day, the defense line was stationed on a towering black stone fortress.

Song Changming, Yang Zhen, and Xing Tiexin were sitting on the wall, blowing the dim cold wind, drinking non-intoxicating sake with each other.

"Have you heard the news that Donghua City was captured?" Yang Zhen looked at Song Changming and asked.

"When did it happen?" Song Changming was a little surprised. He had just come out of seclusion and didn't pay attention to the news.

The fall of the great city was no small matter, it was enough to alarm King Cui in the palace.

"Just yesterday." Yang Zhen said.

"Moreover, basically all the Nineteenth Army died, including the commander-in-chief of the Zhao family." Xing Tiexin, who was on the side, also heard about it in the army and answered.

"Zhao Jingtian?" Song Changming blurted out.

He had little contact with the 19th Army and the commander himself, and he didn't have a deep impression.

It's just that this commander came from the Zhao family, and his attitude towards him was naturally that of an enemy. Considering this, he had only deliberately gotten to know this military commander in the past, just for precaution.

But he didn't expect that life and death were so unpredictable that the Zhao family's commander-in-chief would just disappear.

"This is the second one." Yang Zhen said.

The second one naturally refers to the number of commanders who have died during the Black Glory period.

Xing Tiexin was silent on the side, and his mood was also complicated.

On the one hand, it was the commander-in-chief of the Zhao family who died, making him unable to sympathize with him.

On the other hand, the seriousness and solemnity of destroying a large army of soldiers made him unable to applaud and feel comfortable, so he simply stayed silent on this matter and did not say too much.

"I don't know who in the army will take over the vacant position of commander. I think both Chang Ming and Brother Yang are qualified." Xing Tiexin said suddenly after taking a few sips of wine.

When Song Changming heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Brother Yang really has a chance. He should meet the requirements in all aspects. I am far behind."

Theoretically, as small flag leaders, he and Yang Zhen do have this possibility.

But Song Changming had been in the army for so many years, and he had a certain understanding of the military's standards for selecting generals. Except for his personal bravery and military exploits, he was superior in almost no other aspect.

Comparing him with the other small flag masters in the army, he was immediately inferior to others, so he had no chance.

In comparison, Yang Zhen's decades of military career and all aspects accumulated really gave him greater opportunities.

But if you really want to compare with other talented and beautiful people in the army, to be honest, in Song Changming's heart, it is difficult for Yang Zhen to really stand out and win the only commander position.

After all, Yang Zhen, like him, has no big power behind him to help him. Otherwise, even Yang Zhen's personal cultivation and strength should be more than this.

"I don't have a chance either. How can this handsome man be so competitive?" Yang Zhen shook his head and also had no expectations.

At this time, a general suddenly flew up from below the fortress and appeared in front of the three people.

"Master Yang Banner, Master Song Banner, the commander-in-chief has something to ask of you." The general said with cupped hands.

"Okay, I understand." Yang Zhen nodded in agreement.

The drinking party between the three of them during their free time was also interrupted.

More than ten kilometers away from the defense line, a larger military camp was stationed here, with soldiers and officials entering and exiting it.

Normally, Marshal Wang Tianshuang would sit here if nothing happened.

At this moment, Wang Tianshuang was talking to an official from the military department.

Seeing Song Changming and the others arriving, he couldn't help but nodded and asked them to sit in the barracks.

"It's a good thing to tell you that I called you here today." Wang Tianshuang got straight to the point and got to the point.

"Have you heard about the Nineteenth Army?"

Song Changming and Yang Zhen looked at each other, and an idea came to their minds.

Could it be.

"The commander-in-chief is talking about the destruction of the Nineteenth Army." Yang Zhen replied.

"Well, during the current war, the military department is discussing to rebuild the 19th Army as soon as possible and plans to select some candidates to compete for this position. Among our 41st Army, both of you are on the recruitment list."

Wang Tianshuang said and glanced at the military officials on the side.

The official understood, took out two books, and handed them to Song Changming and Song Changming in person according to the regulations. They were not allowed to pass them on to others.

The book is not big, and when you open it there are only a few sentences and the seal of the military department, which proves that this matter is true.

Indeed, they are the chosen ones.

Song Changming didn't expect that he, who was just talking about this matter and even asserted that he had no chance, would be on this list.

In other words, now he is really qualified to compete for the coaching position!

“What an unexpected development”

Anyone who is a commander in the military has a military career that spans decades or even hundreds of years.

In contrast, Song Changming, a "new man" who had only been in the army for ten years, was actually qualified to become the commander-in-chief of the army.

He was not sure if there was any precedent for a new competitor like him in the past.

"This matter is over, Commander, I will take my leave now." The official saluted and hurried back to resume his duties.

"Commander, this..." Yang Zhen took the military department's brochure and looked at Wang Tianshuang.

"Having such an opportunity means that you two are outstanding enough and have been recognized by the military. As for whether you can win the final command position, just try your best."

Wang Tianshuang said with a smile, but he didn't say too many encouraging words.

After all, he was not very clear about the details of the matter. The council convened by Hu Zhong did not allow too many people to attend.

If we follow the past experience of the election for the position of general, the two people under his command have little chance and are the type of runners-up.

Although Song Changming is extremely strong, he also has flaws in other aspects of the selection and is not a perfect candidate.

As for Yang Zhen, although he does not have any major flaws, he is not as absolutely strong as Song Changming.

Although Yang Zhen is very good, in this process of selecting the best from the best, he is not good enough to make him stand out among many brilliant generals.

"Okay."

Yang Zhen and Song Changming did not stay for long, and left Wang Tianshuang's barracks with the notice from the military.

"I really didn't expect it." Yang Zhen sighed.

The surrounding soldiers and horses galloped back and forth, and the soldiers saw the two and stood still and saluted respectfully.

Yang Zhen waved his hand, and the soldiers left.

But the smile on Yang Zhen's face gradually became stronger.

"To be honest, this is really great news. Even if I can't get the position of commander this time, I will always be able to get it in the future!"

Yang Zhen has been practicing for two things in his life.

One is to become a master, and the other is the position of commander!

The first goal is more difficult to achieve, but the second one is now close!

"Let's go to Sanxianlou tonight and have a drink!" Yang Zhen said with a smile, and his smile was more high-spirited.

"Okay." Song Changming nodded. It can be seen that Yang Zhen is in a good mood this time, and he doesn't want to spoil his mood.

As for the competition for the commander position, Song Changming himself does not have Yang Zhen's obsession.

Of course, if there is a chance to be promoted to commander and command an army, he will not give up such an opportunity.

Being in a high position can not only expand one's own horizons, but also obtain more resources and benefits to make oneself practice better.

His ultimate goal is unchanged, everything is for becoming stronger.

However, he is not completely sure that he can get the commander position this time.

If it was just a competition of personal cultivation strength or demon-killing ability, he was not afraid of anyone.

But if there were other considerations, it would be hard to say.

As Wang Tianshuang said, for this battle for the position of commander, just do your best.

That night, several people drank happily and returned home.

In the courtyard, Su Qingqing was feeding several small beasts at home.

She returned from the Yuanzhou demon world, and brought many good things with her.

Some strange and strange food even made the picky little yellow chicken willing to eat a few more bites.

And Da Huang ate happily, regardless of meat or vegetables, and liked it very much.

After all, they are all beasts, and it is normal that their favorite things are more inclined to the characteristics of the demon world.

Suddenly, Su Qingqing keenly heard the familiar footsteps coming from outside the courtyard, and immediately stopped teasing and ran to open the door happily.

"Young Master is back."
