Wang Teng was brought to a meeting room in the military camp by the guard. Someone else was there to receive him.
The soldier who received him had already gone to inform the higher-ups and asked Wang Teng to wait there.
Wang Teng waited for about ten minutes before he heard hurried footsteps outside the door. From the sound of it, there was more than one person.
The next moment, the door opened.
"You said you encountered a dark apparition in the Dark Fog Forest?"
His voice was heard before he arrived!
An elegant figure in a military uniform strode in with an imposing aura.
Wang Teng couldn't help but look at him.
"This is the person in charge of our military region, General Shen!" said the soldier who was in charge of receiving Wang Teng.
"General Shen!" Wang Teng immediately stood up and said respectfully, "Yes, I encountered a dark apparition in the Dark Fog Forest with another team of warriors from the alternate universe."
Without waiting for the other party to ask, he recounted what happened in detail.
In the end, he took out the piece of flesh from the dark apparition and said, "This was taken from the dark apparition.
It's not convenient to carry around, so it's been burned. You can take it for testing. "
"You did the right thing. If the dark apparition's corpse isn't dealt with in time, it will infect other living creatures." General Shen nodded and said to the soldier beside him, "Xiao Li, take it for testing."
The soldier immediately took the piece of flesh and left.
"You said there was another team of warriors from the alternate universe?" General Shen asked.
"Yes, they were the ones who discovered it first and led it to my hiding place. Then, I was discovered by the dark apparition and had no choice but to take action," Wang Teng said.
"They have already reported to the army in the alternate universe, right?" General Shen asked.
"Yes, we separated after entering the city. They went to the army in the alternate universe, so I came to Earth Star's army." Wang Teng nodded.
Not long after, Xiao Li came back with a report in his hand. He handed it to General Shen.
"It's indeed a dark apparition." General Shen's expression was serious. Then, he said to Wang Teng, "Thank you for your timely report. This news is very important."
"You're too polite!" Wang Teng was flattered.
"Relax, I won't eat you." General Shen smiled and said, "Your name is Wang Teng, right? I heard from Old Fu that a genius ranked martial arts champion appeared in our Eastern Sea this year. It should be you."
"Old Fu?" Wang Teng was stunned.
"Fu Tiandao, the head of the East Sea Martial House of your Jixin Martial House," General Shen said.
"You know our Hall Master," Wang Teng said.
"Hahaha, we're old acquaintances." General Shen laughed.
"Are you also from Donghai?" Wang Teng asked again.
"Not bad."
…
The two of them chatted for a while. Wang Teng hesitated and asked, "General Shen, what exactly is this dark apparition?"
"You should know about the expansion of enrollment for this year's martial arts exam, right?" General Shen didn't ask about it directly. He looked at him meaningfully.
"Could it be …" Wang Teng's expression changed.
"That's right. It's exactly what you think. We're dealing with dark apparitions," General Shen said.
"Why? Even if we want to deal with dark apparitions, it's a matter for the other world. Why do we have to spend so much effort? Dark apparitions are so dangerous. Many martial artists must have died, right? "Wang Teng couldn't help but ask.
"It's because many martial artists have died that we have to expand enrollment. As for why …" General Shen glanced at him and continued, "I can only tell you that Earth Star isn't safe. If we don't take measures, we'll be harmed sooner or later. It'll be hard for us to escape."
"Earth Star isn't safe!"
In an instant, a white light flashed across Wang Teng's mind.
He understood!
He understood everything!
Why did the space crack have to be so heavily guarded? Why did the army have to be stationed in the other world? Why did they expand enrollment for the martial arts exam …
Many things that he couldn't figure out were finally answered.
"Otherwise, why do you think the identity of a martial artist is so extraordinary? The more privileges they enjoy, the greater the responsibility they have to bear, "General Shen said.
"I understand." Wang Teng's voice was a little hoarse.
He realized that he seemed to know a huge secret. Suddenly, his heart felt heavy.
"Don't worry too much. At least Earth Star is still safe now. With us martial artists suppressing the situation at the frontline, the situation is still under control." General Shen thought that he was worried about Earth Star's safety and comforted him.
"Do martial arts students like us have to go to the frontline to fight against dark apparitions?" Wang Teng asked.
"Not necessarily. Some martial arts students don't choose to take the path of actual combat. They will take up administrative jobs in the future. Naturally, they won't need to go to the frontline," General Shen explained patiently.
Wang Teng was silent for a while. Then, he asked, "What's the frontline like?"
"When you go to university, you'll have the chance to see it for yourself. The dark apparitions you encountered this time aren't like the ones you encountered this time. This is only the lowest level. There are higher-level dark apparitions. They are the truly terrifying existences," General Shen said.
"Can I ask one last question?"
"Go ahead."
"Where do the dark apparitions come from?" Wang Teng asked.
General Shen hesitated for a while. Then, he said, "Forget it. You'll find out about this sooner or later. They come from the abyss!"
"The abyss!" Wang Teng couldn't help but repeat.
General Shen didn't say anything else. Wang Teng understood the situation and didn't ask any more questions. He got up and left.
"We'll meet again if fate allows," General Shen said as he got up.
The soldier who received Wang Teng sent him to the entrance of the military zone.
"Thank you. You can stop here," Wang Teng said.
"This is the first time I've seen General Shen have so much free time to communicate with someone you don't know," the soldier said with a smile.
"Should I feel honored?" Wang Teng looked into the depths of the military camp and said.
The soldier looked at him meaningfully. Without saying anything else, he waved at him and turned to walk into the military camp.
…
Since Wang Teng had returned to Yong City, he decided to go back to Earth Star.
As for the dark apparitions, he would leave it to the military to worry about. Anyway, he couldn't interfere now.
If the sky fell, there would be someone tall to hold it up.
Space crack.
Wang Teng stayed outside the door of the space crack. He picked up a wave of space attributes before leaving with satisfaction.
[Space * 1.5]
He first returned to the rented house in the university town.
He had already taken off his uniform and was carrying the weapon carrier casket. He looked travel-worn.
After a while, it was already past eight in the morning.
The three girls next door were about to go to work when they saw Wang Teng opening the door.
"Wang Teng!"
Yan Xin called out uncertainly.
She hadn't seen Wang Teng for a month. Previously, she had knocked on his door a few times, wanting to ask him to go out and play.
In the end, Wang Teng wasn't at home. She thought that Wang Teng didn't want to talk to her and was very disappointed.
Looking at Wang Teng's appearance, it seemed that he really had just returned from outside.
