Chapter 2596: First Mission in the Military

"Don’t worry, I will definitely come out before then," Yuan assured them before entering the training room.

Inside was another hallway with multiple rooms.

A notification popped up the moment Yuan entered one of the available rooms.

<You will be teleported to the Simulated Training Area in 3 seconds>

<3>

<2>

<1>

After being teleported, Yuan found himself in a familiar area that resembled the waiting room in Gaia’s Sanctum.

<Reading Player’s Status>

<Transferring Player Status from Gaia’s Sanctum>

<Transfer Successful>

<You can now challenge up to level 46>

Without hesitation, Yuan immediately challenged level 46.

<You will be teleported in 3 seconds>

Three seconds later, Yuan was teleported to the arena, where he reunited with the faceless entity that had dominated him during his time in Gaia’s Sanctum.

"I’m back, you bastard," Yuan announced to the entity with a cold smile on his face.

"Foolish mortal!"

Just like it did in Gaia’s Sanctum, the faceless entity spoke the same two words.

After acquiring his weapon of choice, a sword, Yuan immediately started fighting his opponent.

<Your restriction on Eternal Essence has been temporarily lifted>

However, to nobody’s surprise, he died shortly afterward.

Yet, Yuan did not stop there and continued fighting it over and over again, just as he did in Gaia’s Sanctum.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was almost the start of a new week.

After hundreds of deaths and no progress, Yuan left the training room.

"You’re finally out," Sergeant Quang sighed in relief the moment he saw Yuan coming out.

"Am I late?"

"Not if we leave right now."

Without waiting for Yuan’s response, Sergeant Quang and Sergeant Bing started walking toward the exit of the training facility.

Seeing this, Yuan quickly followed them.

"What level were you training on?" Sergeant Quang asked him as they moved.

"46."

"..."

Both Sergeant Quang and Sergeant Bing abruptly stopped moving and turned to look at him with widened eyes.

Yuan chuckled at their reaction and continued, "I’m joking. I was training on level 25."

"I-Is that so... You nearly gave me a heart attack," Sergeant Bing sighed.

"Still, level 25 is quite impressive," said Sergeant Quang. "My record is level 29."

As they continued moving a moment later, Yuan asked, "Do you know what the mission entails?"

"General Mei didn’t tell you?"

"She said something about clearing trash outside the city, and that I’d understand it once I get there."

"..."

The room immediately became awkwardly quiet.

"Are you really worried about me?" Yuan suddenly said, breaking the silence.

"How cute."

"What?" Shi Fa frowned.

"Now that I am in the military, you can stop pretending not to know me."

"What is he talking about?" Sergeant Bing inquired with a curious yet puzzled face.

"This isn’t our first time meeting," Yuan explained. "We met a few months ago at Gaia’s Sanctum, and they even lost to me... in a two-versus-one."

"What?!" Sergeant Quang and Sergeant Bing exclaimed in shock.

Wu Wang rubbed his eyes and sighed out loud, "Did you really have to bring that up? It’s not like we actually fought. We simply played a game of tag."

"Whether it was a real fight or not, both of you know what I am capable of better than anyone in the military right now, including General Mei." Yuan shrugged.

"Is that true?" Sergeant Bing asked the two.

"It’s true..." Shi Fa sighed. "I won’t go into details, but if anything happens out there, he’ll likely be the safest out of all of us."

"However..." Wu Wang then spoke, "Just being able to survive won’t be enough out there since our mission requires actual combat."

"So what? Do you want me to prove myself through a real fight with one of you or something?" Yuan asked.

"..."

Wu Wang and Shi Fa exchanged glances with each other.

After a moment of silence, Shi Fa said, "No... You can come with us. Even if you can’t fight on the front lines, you can still support us from the rear with your shooting skills."

"You make it sound like we’re going to be fighting dangerous monsters or something out there. Now I really cannot wait to go out there," Yuan remarked with an excited smile on his face.
