"Time's up. The individual battle is over."
A loud and clear voice rang out above the valley. Immediately after, everyone felt the strange power that enveloped them disappear in an instant. The consumption of energy also stopped instantly.
"It's over." Chu Mu exhaled. He could not help but feel a little disappointed.
His Divine Wilderness Sword Essence had not been used up. It was equivalent to the First Sky of Creation realm. He had more physical strength left, and he still had a lot of Divine Sense power. If he distributed it properly, it was not impossible for him to continue fighting for half a day.
However, his opponents were all very strong. Chu Mu's biggest disadvantage was that his cultivation was too weak. The gap was too obvious.
It was over. The remaining people left the valley one after another. There were a total of 28 people.
The top three were born from these 28 people.
These 28 people did not fall into a coma. They seemed to be in good condition. Therefore, they did not rest and went straight to the headquarters.
The Battalion Commander, Deputy Battalion Commander, and the other Battalion Commanders and Deputy Battalion Commanders all left the headquarters and came to a huge open space outside. There was a stage there.
Chu Mu and the other twenty seven elite soldiers walked up the stage one after the other. The large captains, medium captains, and small captains of each team were all summoned.
The reason why they did not summon the new recruits was that there were millions of new recruits. This open space was not enough to accommodate them all. Moreover, it would take more time to summon all of them.
Even if they only summoned the Squad Leaders, there were more than 10,000 people.
The Main Battalion Commander was a large man with a face full of sideburns. His eyes were wide open and radiant. He swept his eyes over the twenty eight people and paused slightly on Chu Mu's face. Chu Mu didn't know if it was an illusion, but the Main Battalion Commander seemed to have faintly nodded at him.
"Take out your Soldier Qi." The Battalion Commander said. There was an unquestionable power in his voice.
The 28 of them used their minds to activate their Soldier Qi. Streams of Soldier Qi rose from their bodies and slithered around like spiritual snakes.
While activating the Soldier Qi, the 28 elite recruits also looked at the others.
With a glance, Chu Mu knew that he had no chance to be in the top three.
He had thirty-eight wisps of Weapon Aura. Most of the other twenty-seven people had lesser Weapon Aura than him, but a few of them had more Weapon Aura than him.
There were only three medals, and only three spots, so … …
He felt a bit sad. No matter what the reason was, one of his goals in participating in the individual battle was to obtain those three medals. However, since he was unable to obtain them, then so be it. At least compared to the others who did not obtain them, his gains could be said to be much greater.
He had entered that strange state by chance. After several days of recovery, his essence, energy, and spirit had broken through their original limits and reached a new height. His control over his body had also increased to a new level.
To put it simply, under the same physical strength, Chu Mu's Earthquake Force was much more powerful than before. This was a direct increase in strength.
Such a harvest was already very great.
After calming himself down, Chu Mu's gaze also regained its indifference.
"Now, award the medals to the top three." The battalion commander announced. The deputy battalion commander stood up and walked to one of the top three.
"Congratulations, Wei Shijie, with forty-six wisps of Weapon Aura, you won the third place in the individual battle. This Star Brilliance Medal is yours." A light golden medal in the shape of a quadrangular star appeared in the deputy battalion commander's hand. He put it in Wei Shijie's hand and patted him on the shoulder. "Continue to work hard and become the backbone of our Human Clan Regiment."
"Yes, deputy battalion commander." Wei Shijie straightened up and responded loudly, his blood boiling.
The deputy battalion commander nodded with a smile and walked to another person.
"Zhang Wufeng, with fifty-nine wisps of Weapon Aura, congratulations on winning the second place in the individual battle. This Bright Moon Medal is yours." The deputy battalion commander took out a bright silver medal in the shape of a crescent moon and handed it to Zhang Wufeng. Then, he patted him on the shoulder. "Keep up the good work and strengthen yourself."
"Yes, deputy battalion commander." Zhang Wufeng straightened his body and a strong aura rose. His voice was like thunder.
The last person was named Tang Ru, a very elegant name. His appearance was also as elegant as his name. His white robe fluttered in the wind, and there was a faint smile on his face.
Chu Mu recognized him because he had fought with Tang Ru not long ago. Although his strength had been greatly consumed, Tang Ru was still very powerful. Chu Mu couldn't gain any advantage. Instead, he was suppressed and put in a disadvantageous position. However, Tang Ru couldn't defeat Chu Mu, so he stopped in the end.
Tang Ru got a golden-red medal, which looked like a burning sun.
The Star Brilliance Medal, the Bright Moon Medal, and the Blazing Sun Medal.
Countless eyes were fixed on the three medals. Those captains were all envious.
On the other hand, the squad leaders of the new recruits who had received the medals were grinning from ear to ear. People around them were constantly congratulating them. In their military career, this was also a meritorious achievement.
"Recruits, don't be complacent. This is just the beginning." A loud voice suddenly sounded. It was the battalion commander. "Make good use of all the skills you have learned here. It will allow you to survive better."
After saying that, the battalion commander suddenly stood up and strode towards the twenty-eight recruits. He paced back and forth in front of the recruits with a strange smile on his face.
"Newbies, do you know that other than the three medals of Star, Bright Moon, and Blazing Sun, there is actually a fourth medal?" The Chief Battalion Commander had a strange smile on his face. His words startled everyone.
The deputy battalion commander and the other battalion commanders were also startled. Their bodies trembled and they straightened their backs. They thought of something and each one of them showed a face of surprise.
"So the battalion commander already had this plan …" The deputy battalion commander muttered to himself in a low voice. He had a look of enlightenment on his face.
"The fourth medal …" The eyes of Chu Mu and the other twenty-five elite soldiers who didn't get the medals lit up. The battalion commander mentioned the fourth medal. Did this mean that they still had a chance to get the so-called fourth medal?
"If the battalion commander didn't mention it, I would have forgotten about the existence of the medal." A battalion commander whispered.
"That's right. It's been several decades since that medal appeared."
"Only the battalion commander has the right to decide who gets the medal. In the past, he probably felt that no one deserved it. This time, someone's performance has made the battalion commander appreciate it."
"Who do you think it will be?"
The battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders whispered. Although their voices weren't loud, they were still heard by Chu Mu and the others. They all looked at the battalion commander.
"They are right. Whether the fourth medal is awarded or not is up to me. It is my sole right." The battalion commander admitted bluntly. "This medal has nothing to do with the amount of soldier aura gained. If you want to get this medal, you have to get my approval."
"This medal is called the Best Recruit Medal." The battalion commander smiled. "The recruit who can get this medal is the one with the most potential among the recruits."
"Now, I announce that the recruit who got the Best Recruit Medal is …" The battalion commander paused and his eyes slowly swept across the faces of the twenty-five people. Suddenly, everyone became nervous because they all wanted to get this medal. Among the captains below, more than twenty of them also became nervous. That was their team member who got the Best Recruit Medal. They also had the same honor.
"… The Best Recruit Medal is …"
A name came out from the battalion commander's mouth. His loud voice resounded in the surroundings and clearly fell into everyone's ears.
"… Chu Mu …"
Hearing his name, Chu Mu's heart suddenly jumped. There was an indescribable feeling that spread throughout his body.
When the others heard that it wasn't their name, their hearts suddenly fell. There was an indescribable sense of loss.
The Best Recruit Medal!
A dark gold medal appeared in the hands of the battalion commander. It was in the shape of a sword, about the size of a pinky finger. It was thick and had a texture, and it emitted a unique aura.
"Chu Mu, I think highly of you. Don't let down this honor." The battalion commander said to Chu Mu with a serious face.
"Yes, Battalion Commander." Chu Mu seemed to be affected. His face also became serious. He put his feet together and straightened his body. He received the Best Recruit Medal with both hands. At that moment, it was as if he was carrying something.
After handing the Best Recruit Medal to Chu Mu, the battalion commander seemed to have completed something entrusted to him. His expression relaxed, but it was also a little complicated.
After that, it was nothing more than a few words of encouragement, and then he announced the end of the individual battle.
Everyone got up and left.
"Chu Mu, congratulations." Han Guang smiled sincerely. "I never thought that you would be able to get the Best Recruit Medal."
"Captain Han, if it weren't for your wholehearted teaching, I wouldn't have been able to get this medal." Chu Mu smiled slightly.
"It's the same teaching, but you're the only one to get the Best Recruit Medal. This is your talent." Han Guang said. He didn't take credit, because that was the truth.
Chu Mu didn't push the credit back and forth. Instead, he asked about the Best Recruit Medal. "Captain Han, what's the difference between the Best Recruit Medal and the Starlight, Bright Moon, and Blazing Sun Medals?"
"It's hard for me to say. The Starlight, Bright Moon, and Blazing Sun medals are given out in every recruit training. As for the Best Recruit Medal, it's decided by the battalion commander. It's based on a recruit's potential. This is the first Best Recruit Medal in the past 40 years." Han Guang said. "If the Starlight, Bright Moon, and Blazing Sun Medals represent the results of training, then the Best Recruit Medal represents potential. The battalion commander gave you the Best Recruit Medal, which means that he thinks you have the most potential among the recruits. I'm also looking forward to seeing how far you can go in the future."
