The Heavenly Jewel Change
Chapter 80: The Determining Arrow (4)

After these few months of practice, Zhou Weiqing's Heavenly Energy had reached the fourth level of the Heavenly Jing Energy. However, to try to break through Yongquan's Death Acupuncture Point, it was still not enough. He had tried it a few days ago, but before his Heavenly Energy circulated to his knees, the energy had already been exhausted. For him to even try to break through the Yongquan Acupuncture Point, he needed to at least reach Zhu San Li Acupuncture Point first, and utilize it to speed up the circulation speed towards San Ying Jiao, he needed to at least reach Zhu San Li Acupuncture Point, before using it once again to accelerate towards the Yongquan Acupuncture Point. Clearly, this process required a large amount of accumulated Heavenly Energy.

Fifth Regiment, headquarters.

"What's? you want to resign from the post of Third Battalion Commander? Viscount Shangguan, are you kidding me? ”The commander of the Fifth Regiment stood up in surprise as he looked at Shangguan Binger, who was staring at his face firmly.

Shangguan Binger said solemnly, "Regiment Commander, I'm obviously not kidding. I realized that I don't have the ability to command troops properly, let alone an entire battalion of soldiers. In terms of directing an army, I am very lacking. I do not want to have a high rank just because I am a Celestial Gem Master. It was extremely unfair to the people and officers of the Third Battalion. Directing an army was a profound skill, and after much self-examination, I felt my abilities were inadequate. If I continue to direct the Third Battalion, I fear that bigger problems will arise. For the sake of the soldiers and officers of the Third Battalion, please obey my request.I would rather remain in the military command as a normal soldier to join the battle, than become an incompetent Battalion Commander. "

At this moment, there were three people at the Fifth Regiment headquarters. In addition to Shangguan Binger and the Regiment Commander, Gao Shen, who also had the same rank of Viscount, the Fifth Regiment's Deputy Commander Qian Zhantian who simultaneously held the post of First Battalion Battalion Commander, was also the first, it's there too. They looked at each other anxiously, feeling a great headache from his request.

Gao Shen said: "Viscount Shangguan, you have just managed to kill six enemy Physical Gem Masters, and capture two alive. I was just about to report this to the military headquarters to get you your military achievements, why go through all this trouble? You can slowly learn how to direct the troops. ”

Shangguan Binger shook his head once more, saying, "That's largely the hallmark of Company Leader Xiao. If not for his good direction, maybe not only would I be killed by the enemy, the losses from our troops would also be much higher. I cannot allow my own commando training to be done at the expense of the blood of our Third Battalion people. Please obey my request. "

The nearby Qian Zhantian said: "Shangguan Battalion Commander, you should know that the reassignment of military officers of the rank of Battalion Commander and above is not something we can decide on our own. Why don't we hand over your resignation to the military headquarters when we make a report, and we can let the superiors decide. "

Shangguan Binger said: "Then, Regiment Commander, please have Company Leader Xiao become the acting Battalion Commander, I will no longer participate in commanding the Third Battalion."

Gao Shen saw that he was absolutely resolute and said helplessly: "Alright, as Viscount Shangguan wishes."

"Thank you, Regiment Commander." Shangguan Binger said with military respect, before leaving.

The two officers exchanged looks anxiously once again, and Qian Zhantian said in a low voice: "That girl, she's soft outside, but inside of her she's very strong-willed. Still, it was a hasty decision by the headquarters to give him the rank of Battalion Commander as soon as possible. After all, he had yet to undergo the training of the original military academy. ”

Gao Shen said: "It is the will of the Supreme Commander. In fact, his plan was to let him feel the atmosphere of war on the frontlines, having a personal feeling before entering training again slowly. However, he was completely unsuitable for continuing to stay in the military camp on the front lines. The ambush today was clearly pre-planned by the Kalise Empire. I was horrified to think of what would happen if something happened to him here, how could I face the Supreme Commander? I will write this report to the military headquarters instantly, the courier eagle can deliver the message quickly and back, and I believe we should have the answer within ten days. Lao Qian, move the First Battalion and position yourself next to the Third Battalion, strengthen the defense, and ensure the safety of Viscount Shangguan. ”

"i understand.I sincerely hope that Viscount Shangguan will grow into his strength before. Unfortunately, she is a girl, I don't know if it's right to put a heavy burden onto her shoulders in the future, having to take over from Marshal Zhou … "

……

"Little Fatty, are you inside?" Zhou Weiqing was cultivating in his tent, when Shangguan Binger's voice sounded from outside.

"I'm here." Stopping his cultivation, Zhou Weiqing leaped down from his bed, and raised the tent. Shangguan Binger walked in from the outside, and Zhou Weiqing immediately realized that his mood was a bit bad, and he looked rather lonely, silent and sad. It was really strange from her usual self. Moreover, this was also the first time he had called out his name directly.

"Binger, what's wrong?" Zhou Weiqing pulled out a chair for him.

Seeing the sudden agitation, Zhou Weiqing was given a fright. "Binger, how can you say that? What happened today is not your fault. Furthermore, thanks to you, we managed to deliver a heavy blow to the enemy. "

Shangguan Binger shook his head and said, "I'm not a qualified commander, Little Fatty, you know? Actually, I have absolutely no idea how to direct an army, to deploy troops and formations. Before today, I had always believed that as a Celestial Gem Master, even if my commanding ability was not up to speed, I could still overcome it through my own personal strength. Today, I finally understood how stupid that thought was. Heavenly Jewel Master and troop commander are two completely different concepts, no wonder Company Leader Xiao always refused to accept me. He was right; by comparison, he was much more suited than me to become a Battalion Commander.I had already handed my resignation to the Regiment Commander, and I hoped that the order should be delivered immediately. "

Zhou Weiqing patted his own shoulder, saying: "i'll lend this to you?"

Shangguan Binger looked at the concerned Zhou Weiqing for a moment, and after hesitating for a moment, he walked forward towards him, laying his head gently on his shoulder. However, he actually kept the rest of his body away from him.

Zhou Weiqing's mind was filled with a gentle and protective feeling, and he raised his hand to hug her. However, she was stopped by him as she said: "Don't move."

Zhou Weiqing immediately stopped his hand, saying: "Alright, I'm not moving."

He stood there, gently laying his head on his shoulders, as he closed his eyes slowly, saying in a low voice: "Little Fatty, you know? Actually, I'm very tired, my heart is always very tired. "

"i understand.you are all only 16 years old, and as the only other Celestial Gem Master in the empire other than Admiral Zhou, so much has befallen you. The responsibilities and expectations that you bear are so high.you not only have to continue cultivating and increasing your strength, you are also trying to adapt to the troops, it is also too difficult for you. ”

"I'm not afraid of hard work, Little Fatty, you know? No matter how difficult it was, no matter how tired I was, I could still hang on and move on. But today, seeing so many of my soldiers die before my eyes, if more than half of them can continue the army, it would be considered good already …

Before this, they had never let me join the battlefield .. Before today, I had never done anything as a true Battalion Commander. Today ... is the first time I killed a human ..the first time I saw so many people die before me. I felt so uncomfortable in my heart, so agitated.

I don't think I can continue being a Battalion Commander anymore.I can't bear to imagine having another day where more soldiers will perish due to my inadequate briefing. I really don't want to see them die in front of me. ”

Zhou Weiqing's heart moved, he did not expect that this was the first time Shangguan Binger had killed someone or seen death.

No wonder the response was so great. Seeing so many people die to protect him, how could his heart hold him back. Sensing his body trembling lethargicly, Zhou Weiqing said solemnly, "Binger, let me hold all that for you."

Shangguan Bing's body stiffened. He fully understood what he meant. With his talent, if he were to reveal his identity as the Celestial Gem Master, without a doubt, a lot of pressure on the woman would shift to him.

If in Shangguan Binger's heart, his feelings towards Zhou Weiqing were very conflicted, and in the many conflicting emotions, anger constituted the majority of it. In that case when he said those words, it felt as if all dissatisfaction and anger disappeared. At this moment when he was at his weakest state, when he was in dire need of consolation, Zhou Weiqing's calm and urgent words touched his heart for the first time, moving him deeply. Before this, even if his arrow had saved his life, he had no such feeling, but only at this moment did he really feel that this shoulder belonged to a man he could rely on.

The arms hanging on both sides of his body were raised slowly, as he held Zhou Weiqing gently. The distance between them finally disappeared as he hugged her voluntarily for the first time. 1
