CHAPTER 58: CHAPTER 58: CONFERMENT OF MEDALS, QI BLOOD TRANSFERENCE METHOD! (THIRD UPDATE!)

Under the gaze of everyone.

Fang Qingyu walked to a corner by himself, waiting for the start of the ceremonial gathering.

Captain Lin went to speak with the Martial Arts Grandmaster.

It was a coincidence.

In his past life, Fang Qingyu had been a soldier, though only for two years as a conscript.

When he was discharged, he had two chevrons.

For an upper-class soldier.

He did not know what the military ranks were like here at the Federal Divine Management Bureau.

In the crowd, everyone was whispering to one another.

The atmosphere was quite interesting.

Everyone spontaneously divided into two groups.

The Divine Cultists collectively stood on the left, while Fang Qingyu and the other Martial Arts Apprentices stood on the right.

Most people recognized a few attendees, forming small groups.

Only Fang Qingyu and a few Martial Arts Apprentices were isolated in separate corners.

Thankfully, soon another batch of people entered from the entrance.

Among them were two people dressed in military uniforms.

Following them...

Was a group of red names!!!

Martial Artists and other various Believers and Professions.

The crowd went to the side of the Martial Arts Grandmaster and whispered a few words.

"Cough, cough..."

A cough exploded in everyone’s ears, forcing them to focus their attention forward.

"Next, we will begin the ceremonial assembly."

The Martial Arts Grandmaster, looked to be speaking quietly, but his voice was exceptionally loud and resounding.

A military officer behind him stepped forward.

"Hello, I am Zhuang Ye."

"I am honored to host your ceremonial gathering today."

The crowd responded with applause.

To most people, this scene was quite significant.

After all, the majority of this group were in their teens.

Especially on the Divine Cultist side.

With uniformly youthful faces.

Among this group, Fang Qingyu was probably considered older.

"I will talk about three things today."

"First, Life Ghosts and Alien God believers are eternal adversaries of humanity, this fact remains unchanged through times, I hope you can keep this in mind!"

"Second, the Federation will never interfere with your paths. Whether you seek the peak of the extraordinary or the pinnacle of martial arts, as long as your blade remains pointed at humanity’s enemies, the Federation is always your strongest support."

"Third..."

"Please remember."

"The Power you possess is a sharp blade tearing through the darkness and a shield protecting civilization; I hope you use it wisely!"

The crowd was thunderstruck with applause after listening.

These concise yet passionate words were the most capable of stirring the blood of these young people.

Fang Qingyu also caught a new term among them.

Alien God believers.

It sounds quite similar to Divine Cultists.

"Now, I will award your medals."

Zhuang Ye waited for the applause to end, and had the people behind him bring up a stack of medals.

"As some of you may already know, your military ranks as Transcendents differ from ordinary ranks, divided into 9 tiers, now let me award you the First Tier medal."

"Starfire Medal!"

"Come forward when your name is called."

Fang Qingyu stood at the back, watching as each person stepped up to be awarded.

It was obvious.

Everyone’s face seemed to carry a sense of mission and honor.

No young person doesn’t want to be a hero.

Fang Qingyu had dreamt of it too.

As a child in his past life, he imagined monsters appearing in the world while swinging a stick in the vegetable patch.

Himself descending from the sky.

Becoming the savior.

It’s quite normal.

And now, when fantasy becomes reality.

Beneath the calm and prosperous city life.

Those monsters really do exist.

If you were to say Fang Qingyu across two lifetimes, getting close to fifty years old, still had dreams of being a hero.

Yes, certainly, he still did.

Though rarely.

However, just as Zhuang Ye said.

Whether for the extraordinary peak or martial arts pinnacle.

The Life Ghost is an obstacle that can’t be ignored in front.

Perhaps, in pursuit of extreme Power.

And incidentally being a hero might be a nice experience?

"Fang Qingyu!"

His thoughts paused as Zhuang Ye called out his name.

Fang Qingyu walked through the crowd and stepped forward.

Along the way, both sides, whether they were Believers or Martial Arts Apprentices, kept examining him.

Perhaps his facial features had some recognition.

But Fang Qingyu’s name, it was so famous now.

Savagely killing Blood Smashes, beating Yuanze.

Most Martial Arts Apprentices were curious about who was so fierce.

As for the other side of Believers...

Most had hostile gazes.

However, Fang Qingyu didn’t care, such childish animosity didn’t matter to him in the slightest.

Came up to Zhuang Ye.

The other personally pinned the Starfire Medal on Fang Qingyu’s chest.

And said with a smile in a quiet voice.

"Well done, bringing honor to us martial artists."

Fang Qingyu froze listening but said nothing, exchanged a smile and salute before stepping down.

That Starfire Medal was quite attractive.

Bronze gear base, a single-edged sword and flame pattern in the center.

Disregarding the surrounding glances.

The ceremonial gathering quickly concluded.

"Now that the medals have been awarded, let’s talk about the function of the medal."

Zhuang Ye sent the last person down the stage.

His demeanor no longer as stern as before, he picked up the microphone and smiled as he spoke.

"With the Starfire Medal, Martial Arts Apprentices can receive a Qi Blood Crystal each week, and Believers can receive a Meditation Flower, as for how to advance the medal, your trainers will explain that to you."

"The ceremonial gathering is now concluded!!"

Fang Qingyu looked bewildered as he clapped along with others.

My goodness...

What exactly are Qi Blood Crystals and Meditation Flowers!?

Why does it feel like he knows nothing about the Extraordinary World.

Soon, Zhuang Ye left with another officer.

Leaving only the group of red names on stage, staring at the crowd like staring at wolf cubs without saying a word.

Until everyone quieted down again.

"Now, Believers stand on the left, Martial Arts Apprentices stand on the right."

The Martial Arts Grandmaster stood at the top, re-organizing the crowd.

Making the dividing line clearer.

"As per the old rule, the special training class is divided into two ranking systems, first, individual ranking, where those ranked highest weekly receive more rewards in terms of resources."

"Second, class ranking, which pits Believers Class against Martial Arts Apprentice Class, where the winning class enjoys extra resources each week."

"The rest will be explained by your trainers."

As soon as the voice fell, the Martial Arts Grandmaster headed straight towards the training hall’s door.

From start to finish, he didn’t even introduce his name.

"Alright, Martial Arts Apprentice Class, follow me."

After the middle-aged man left, the trainer for the Martial Arts Apprentice Class called everyone to move to the other side.

The numbers in both classes were about the same.

Just a difference of a few people at most.

Therefore, no one dared to raise any objections.

Arriving at another corner of the training hall.

The leading man among the three trainers spoke to the gathered crowd.

"Allow me to introduce myself, I’m Ji Yang, and for the coming period, I’ll be akin to the head teacher for the Martial Arts Apprentice Class, mainly teaching the Qi Blood Transport Technique."

"This is Coach Zhao Jun, who teaches Hand Martial Technique, and Coach Wen Xu, who specializes in Weapon Martial Technique."

After the self-introduction, someone raised their hand to ask.

"Coach Ji, what is the Qi Blood Transport Technique?"

Ji Yang listened without being upset, instead smiling as he looked at the crowd.

"Everyone here should have already begun the Observation Method, right."

"Yes..."

The crowd nodded one after another.

Ji Yang, seeing this, raised his right hand to his face height.

A streak of red light suddenly shone on his face.

"Between Martial Arts Apprentices and Martial Artists, aside from the strength of the body, the most significant difference is that the Qi Force cultivated through the Observation Method cannot be projected!"

"Where the Qi Blood Transport Technique."

"Is the key Dharma Gate for projection!"
