Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Shockwaves Among the High Command

“Okay, okay, I got it. I’ll verify it right away.”

The adjutant hung up the phone, ran to the temporary office of the 319th Corps, knocked on the door, and walked in.

“Raymond, you’re here too, perfect.”

The adjutant glanced at Raymond beside Dai Xianghe and said, “The Special Warfare Management Office just informed me that someone in our 319th Corps, a clone, has successfully awakened psychic abilities, and they require us to verify this person’s identity.”

Upon hearing this, Dai Xianghe paused for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise:

“A clone awakening psychic abilities? Are you sure they haven’t made a mistake? As far as I know, our corps hasn’t had any clones selected out, right?”

“Not a selected person, that individual is still in our 319th Corps, his name is…”

The adjutant was about to mention the name when Raymond suddenly interrupted, “Is it Qin Tian, from the Earth Dragon Team?”

“That’s right, it’s Qin Tian.”

The adjutant raised an eyebrow, “Raymond, you’re an instructor of the Clone Legion, you must know Qin Tian’s situation better than anyone, tell us, what’s his story?”

Recruit No. 89757, who would have thought you could come this far.

Raymond wore a complex expression on his face and slowly said:

“Qin Tian is one of the last batch of cloned soldiers our corps produced, having just emerged from the incubation chamber a few days ago.”

“Wait a minute!”

Dai Xianghe raised his hand, eyes filled with disbelief: “Are you saying he has just come out of the chamber a few days ago? Within a few days, this cloned soldier named Qin Tian managed to awaken psychic abilities?”

“Yes, I couldn’t believe it myself either.”

Raymond gave a bitter smile: “After the last batch of cloned soldiers emerged from the chamber, I led them on shooting training as usual. In the first training, Qin Tian stood out with an extremely excellent shooting talent, and after a few attempts, he passed the Spirit Bird test with nearly perfect scores.”

The Spirit Bird test!

Dai Xianghe and the adjutant displayed looks of shock. As military leaders, they knew very well how challenging the Spirit Bird test was. Across Alpha 7 Star, fewer than two handfuls of individuals had ever passed it.

A newly emerged cloned soldier managing to pass the Spirit Bird test after just a few attempts demonstrated an insane level of shooting talent.

“Considering Qin Tian’s uniqueness, I directly assigned him to the Earth Dragon Team to replace the previous sharpshooter, Huang Xun,” Raymond continued.

Dai Xianghe and the adjutant both knew Huang Xun, as he was the most formidable sharpshooter in the 319th Corps, unfortunately sacrificing himself in an accident.

Positioning Qin Tian as Huang Xun’s replacement in the Earth Dragon Team was appropriate both logically and emotionally.

Raymond: “Afterward, I kept an eye on Qin Tian’s movements. In the final assault on the Golan Heights, Qin Tian sniped over 200 beastmen, one skyborne dromabeast, and one Tier Two Spirit Cat.”

At this point, Dai Xianghe and the adjutant couldn’t help but be amazed by Qin Tian’s shooting skills. However, what was even more astonishing was yet to come.

“During the subsequent beastmen night raid, Qin Tian once again shot over 200 Shadow Cats, dozens of Spirit Cats, and two Shadow Feline people. Among these Shadow Feline people, one was a Tier Four Beast Spirit Warrior, the one who killed Yang Ling, and Qin Tian avenged Yang Ling.”

“I recall now.”

Dai Xianghe suddenly realized: “Indeed, someone reported this incident to me at the time, but I had to accompany Su Yunyi, so I never got the chance to meet this hero. It turns out he is Qin Tian.”

Raymond nodded: “Yes, that’s Qin Tian.”

Speaking to this point, Raymond seemed to recall something, a smirk appearing at the corner of his eyes: “Here’s a fun fact: the captain of the Earth Dragon Team is named Qin Dadi.”

“The captain is called Qin Dadi, while he’s… Qin Tian.”

Dai Xianghe chuckled, “I guess that name wasn’t given to him by Qin Dadi, huh? This kid has quite the personality.”

“Indeed.”

Raymond smiled: “He is the most unique cloned soldier I’ve ever seen, so when the Special Warfare Management Office mentioned someone in our corps having awakened psychic abilities, he was the first person I thought of.”

“It must have been the members of the Earth Dragon Team who taught him the Spirit Awakening Technique. It seems they have a good relationship, agreeing to teach him the Spirit Awakening Technique after just a few days together.”

“They did go through two battles together, after all.”

The adjutant sighed: “The battlefield is the fastest place to foster deep bonds.”

“Yes, indeed.”

Dai Xianghe and Raymond echoed this sentiment with deep understanding.

Soldiers don’t play mind games; after sharing guns in battle, they become the closest comrades, and in the heat of the moment, they might even take a bullet for each other.

“Since Qin Tian’s identity checks out, you should inform the Special Warfare Management Office directly.”

Dai Xianghe said: “I recall that once a cloned soldier awakens psychic abilities, a special talent management regulation can be triggered, allowing them to enter military academy for high-level military training.”

“With the war nearing its end, I hope all our corps’ soldiers can find a good future.”

“Yes!”

The adjutant walked out of the office and immediately returned the call to the Special Warfare Management Office.

……

“He’s actually a new recruit who emerged less than ten days ago.”

Jia Xiu hung up the phone, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Awakening psychic abilities within ten days must be the fastest among all cloned soldiers who’ve triggered management regulations, right?

Who would have thought I could handle such a unique case?

Interesting~

Jia Xiu arranged for his subordinates to compile Qin Tian’s data and send it to another department.

His office, the Special Warfare Management Office, was only responsible for information registration. As for Qin Tian’s future training plans and arrangements, that would be handled by another special department.

And the top superior of that department was Marshal Lin himself.

……

Exiting the Special Warfare Management Office, Xiao Yunlong glanced back and said, “I hope they can expedite things and get Qin Tian’s identity card done soon.”

“They said it will take a maximum of one week or as quick as three days for the identity card to be processed.”

Liu Zhaozhao looked at Qin Tian and smiled, “By then, Qin Tian, you’ll be able to see how many military points you’ve earned.”

“Definitely a lot.”

Xiao Yunlong chuckled, “I racked up over 200 military points just tagging along with Qin Tian; I estimate his military points are no less than 2000, maybe even higher.”

“Yes, I also think it might be between 2000 and 2500.”

Qin Dadi made a rough estimate based on past experience and added: “Those military points are enough to exchange for a good Rune Spear.”

“Qin Tian, we’ll help you choose one that’s most suitable for you then.”

Xiao Yunlong’s eyes lit up, “Once you get the Rune Spear, let me try it out too.”

“Sure.”

Qin Tian nodded, a gleam of anticipation in his eyes.

He was eager to see the differences between a Rune Spear and regular firearms.

“Thanks.”

Xiao Yunlong chuckled: “It’s still early. How about we hit the training ground? I promised to teach Qin Tian some hand-to-hand combat and swordsmanship; otherwise, he’ll keep hopping around, using his head to butt people, and that would be embarrassing for our Earth Dragon Team.”

At this mention, Qin Dadi and Liu Zhaozhao recalled the assault on the Golan Heights, where Qin Tian, with his agile yet bizarre and twisted body technique, battled a Tier Two Spirit Cat for a long time, finally winning with a headbutt.

It was quite a shocking sight at the time, but thinking back, it was indeed rather amusing.

Seeing them snicker, Qin Tian felt both speechless and helpless.

However, Xiao Yunlong was right; he indeed needed to improve his close-combat skills.

All of his numerous talents were best suited for close combat.

“Training ground, let’s go!”
