Special Warfare Management Office Supplies Room
An urgent knocking sounded on the door outside.
Director Jia Xiu put down the teacup, frowned slightly, and said:
The door was pushed open.
Jia Xiu’s voice deepened slightly:
"Xiaomeng, what’s the matter?"
Meng Feng noticed a hint of displeasure in the director’s tone and quickly explained, "Director, there’s a clone downstairs who claims to have just awakened his spiritual energy."
Jia Xiu was taken aback and immediately asked, "Are you sure? Which unit is he from? Can you confirm his clone identity?"
Meng Feng: "Director, his name is Qin Tian, from the 319th Corps’ special ops team called the Earth Dragon. I can’t completely confirm his clone identity, but he said he doesn’t have an Empire ID card."
Jia Xiu’s eyes twitched slightly. A normal person wouldn’t claim to be a clone, as clones are seen by the public as the lowest class, a war weapon without thoughts but indoctrinated with partial memories.
Moreover, without an Empire ID card, it pretty much confirms his clone identity.
"Director, does he fall under the special management regulations for clones?" Meng Feng asked.
Jia Xiu nodded, "If his clone and spiritualist identity can be confirmed, then he indeed falls under this regulation, but..."
Jia Xiu had a doubt in his mind; actually, every year, a small number of clones meet this regulation, but their situations are completely different from Qin Tian’s.
Those clones have endured several battles and shown outstanding performance before the military department recognizes them as clones with special talents.
Afterward, they are gathered together for unified spiritual energy education.
Those who successfully awaken will trigger the special management regulation and proceed to the next stage of training.
Those who fail will be thrown back into the battlefield to continue their cannon fodder mission.
But a wild spiritualist like Qin Tian, it was the first time he encountered one.
"You said he’s from the 319th Corps’ special ops team?" Jia Xiu asked.
"That’s right." Meng Feng nodded.
Jia Xiu’s eyes narrowed slightly; it seemed that this special ops team helped him awaken his spiritual energy.
This clone is not simple at all, managing to have others willingly teach him the Spirit Awakening Technique.
"Xiaomeng, bring him up for a spiritual energy test in the room next door. I’ll call the 319th Corps to verify his identity."
Meng Feng quickly ran downstairs.
Jia Xiu picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, this is Jia Xiu."
A few minutes later ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽
"This is the Spiritual Ability Detection Stone."
Meng Feng picked up a silvery white stone, with a couple of patches connected to a black machine.
"In a moment, inject your spiritual energy into this. The machine will analyze the elemental composition of your spiritual energy. The higher the element content, the higher is your affinity for that element. You should choose a cultivation technique in that direction in the future."
Qin Tian nodded, taking the detection stone from Meng Feng’s hand.
"Are you ready? If so, I’ll start."
Meng Feng placed his hand on a button.
Qin Tian gripped the stone, controlling his spiritual energy with his mind, slowly channeling it to his palm.
Meng Feng pressed the button.
The display suddenly lit up; Qin Tian immediately mobilized his spiritual energy, directing it along his arm, to his palm, then into the detection stone.
As viewed, the silvery white stone emitted a faint light, like a stream of stardust flowing inside.
Shortly afterward, the display showed pillars of various colors, some rising slowly, some rapidly, and after a dozen seconds, they stopped changing.
The other people of the Earth Dragon Team immediately gathered to look.
On the bar chart, the blue-purple pillar stood out, the tallest, while the black pillar next to it was slightly shorter but still much higher than the others.
"Thunder element content 42%, dark element content 37%."
Meng Feng read out the test results.
"Wow, Qin Tian, you’re actually a dual-element spiritualist, and with such high affinity," Xiao Yunlong exclaimed in surprise.
Qin Tian looked at him and asked, "Dual-element, is that a good or bad thing?"
Xiao Yunlong explained, "Single-element, dual-element, and multi-element each have their pros and cons. Single-element is more focused, possibly leading to faster cultivation speed in a particular element, while dual-element and multi-element spiritualists have more varied attack methods, offering more choices in martial techniques and magic."
"Generally, though, spiritualists focus only on cultivating two elemental domains, as more would slow down the cultivation progress."
"Your advantage is clear; the thunder and dark element contents add up to nearly 80%. Your affinity is very high, unlike me, even though I’m skilled in the wind element, the wind element content in my spiritual energy is only 25%."
"When your military merit points come through, I suggest choosing a cultivation technique that combines thunder and dark elements. Don’t worry, the Empire is well-founded, with all kinds of techniques, there’s bound to be one that suits you."
"No need to rush on the cultivation technique just yet."
Meng Feng suddenly spoke up, "If your clone identity is confirmed, then you can trigger a special management regulation. I remember it states that a clone can freely choose one Bronze Level Technique from the military technique library."
"What, Bronze Level?"
Xiao Yunlong’s jaw dropped, looking incredulous: "Are you sure it’s Bronze Level?"
Meng Feng nodded: "Yes, I shouldn’t be mistaken."
"Ahhhhh, Qin Tian, you’re so lucky!"
Xiao Yunlong grabbed Qin Tian’s shoulders, gritting his teeth, "A Bronze Level Technique, that’s a Bronze Level Technique, worth at least 5000 military merit points."
What, 5000 military merit points!
Qin Dadi and Liu Zhaozhao exchanged glances; the two of them, not being spiritualists, hadn’t realized how expensive a spiritual cultivation technique could be.
military merit points, it’s a number they dared not even imagine.
Qin Tian’s brows raised slightly; to get a Bronze Level Technique for free, without any effort, was, of course, a huge boon for him, enabling him to use his military merit points to exchange for a rune spear instead.
At this moment, Qin Tian suddenly felt very grateful to the Marshal Lin, whom he had never met. It was precisely because of this legendary marshal’s extraordinary example that following clones had the chance to escape their tragic fate and embark on a different life path.
"Bro, Qin Tian has already proven he’s a spiritualist, so can the processing speed for his Empire ID card be accelerated?"
Xiao Yunlong said, "The sooner his military merit points arrive, the sooner we can convert them into combat power. Otherwise, if another war breaks out before his military merit points are finalized, wouldn’t that be too frustrating?"
"I know you’re anxious, but no need to worry just yet."
Meng Feng calmly assured, "As I’ve said, once he triggers that management regulation, all processes will be expedited. Also, your worry is unnecessary; big battles are unlikely to occur shortly. You’ll all stay safely at the base, waiting for the war to end and go home."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunlong, Qin Dadi, and Liu Zhaozhao exchanged looks, their eyes gleaming with excitement and joy.
No more upcoming wars
We can return home safely!
