Chapter 1021: Chapter 1020: The Ordinary Tang Jun

After agreeing to attend the Deputy War God Ceremony with Gu Lingfei and Tang Han tomorrow, the three soon parted ways.

After parting, Tang Han turned to Gu Lingfei and said,

"Sister Lingfei, what should we do? If Zhao Kuo causes trouble for Brother Dongzi at tomorrow’s Deputy War God Inauguration Ceremony, what will we do?"

"It’s the War Department there, and if Brother Dongzi inadvertently does something wrong, it could be really troublesome."

Gu Lingfei was also somewhat worried, as the attendees tomorrow would include important figures from the War Department.

Gu Lingfei was not afraid of Zhao Kuo starting trouble directly because, without a good reason, his grandfather Zhao Feiying would not back him.

But she was afraid that he might engage in underhanded tactics.

If he did something in secret to embarrass Lin Dong and provoke Lin Dong into losing his temper, it could create problems.

"Tomorrow, let’s keep a close eye on Teacher Lin Dong. Make sure he doesn’t do anything that’s against the rules," Gu Lingfei said.

"Yes, yes, yes, just like today when he announced he was the proxy War God. We absolutely cannot let him say that tomorrow. Otherwise, it would be troublesome."

"Mhmm."

The two agreed that they must keep a close watch on Lin Dong tomorrow.

To ensure he doesn’t speak recklessly or act rashly.

After separating from them, Lin Dong went to the War Department.

The Azure Dragon Messenger summoned Lin Dong there to discuss the arrangements for his Deputy War God Inauguration Ceremony the following day.

Upon arriving at the War Department, he found that Zhao Feiying, the Overlord God General, and others were also present.

"War God Lin, this is the procedure for tomorrow’s Deputy War God Inauguration Ceremony. Please have a look," they said.

"Also, you might be called upon to give a speech tomorrow, to read a prepared statement..."

Lin Dong took the procedure book and began to read.

The Deputy War God Promotion Ceremony was to start at nine in the morning and involved many steps, as this was an appointment ceremony for a War God.

Even as a proxy, no detail could be overlooked.

The venue for the event would also be at the War Department.

In addition to all the soldiers from the Demon City War Department, other war departments would also send representatives.

Figures like Wang Xiaojiu, the King of Jiangnan from the Jiangnan War Department, and Murong Qingyun, the King of Jiangbei from the Jiangbei War Department, would be attending.

Beyond the people from the War Department, some members from big families would also be present.

As well as the Divine Generals from the Demon City War Department, who would also bring some of the younger generation with them.

This was also the reason why Tang Han, Gu Lingfei, Zhao Kuo, and others could attend tomorrow’s Deputy War God Promotion Ceremony.

After reviewing, Lin Dong nodded his head.

Having memorized the procedures, Lin Dong addressed everyone, "Regarding the speech, could it be given by someone else?"

He found the idea of reading from a script utterly uninteresting.

The Azure Dragon Messenger and others expressed their difficulty, "War God Lin, it’s part of the protocol. As a proxy War God, it’s something you must do."

"Well, okay," Lin Dong could only reluctantly agree.

At the moment, although he had not officially taken on the role of Deputy War God, he was already being addressed as War God by everyone.

However, these details were not important to him.

Lin Dong then remembered something else, a promise the Dragon King War God had made to him.

He needed to ask the Azure Dragon Messenger about it in private.

"Azure Dragon Messenger, I need to talk to you about something in private," Lin Dong said.

The Azure Dragon Messenger nodded and followed Lin Dong out of the meeting room.

Lin Dong asked, "Azure Dragon Messenger, the Dragon King War God promised me something before. It was about granting me some resources if I agreed to take on the role of proxy War God!"

"Resources such as Heavenly and Earthly treasures, about that matter..."

As he spoke, Lin Dong gestured as if rubbing his hands together.

He could disregard other things—money, benefits, and so on. But Lin Dong cared most about Heavenly and Earthly treasures.

Seeing this, the Azure Dragon Messenger laughingly said, "War God Lin, there’s no hurry with that. At your promotion ceremony, the Dragon King War God will come to offer his congratulations."

"At that time, he will bring the Heavenly and Earthly treasures and these resources over from the Capital City."

"Do you know how much there will be?" Lin Dong asked.

"At least two strains, five hundred units of Heavenly and Earthly treasures!" The Azure Dragon Messenger held up two fingers.

Lin Dong’s eyes lit up when he heard this.

Two strains of Heavenly and Earthly treasures, five hundred years old at that, counted as decent resources.

"Mm-hmm, then I have no problems. I’m off then, see you tomorrow." Lin Dong left satisfied.

The Azure Dragon Messenger watched Lin Dong’s departing figure and couldn’t help but laugh.

"This War God Lin doesn’t care about anything aside from Heavenly and Earthly treasures. But even for us in the War Department, these are quite rare."

When Lin Dong left the War Department, at the main gate, he actually bumped into Tang Jun.

Tang Jun was also a soldier from the War Department, but just an ordinary one, who wasn’t even a one-star Divine General.

And because his Martial Arts talent was only average, he hadn’t joined the Elite Battle Team either.

Lin Dong saw him competing with another soldier.

So he walked over there to watch.

In the War Department, it was common to see such fair contests between soldiers.

A soldier should indeed be warlike.

Of course, such competitions were not ruthless, they stopped at the right moment.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Lin Dong saw that Tang Jun’s strength was still considerable, and the punches he threw packed a punch as well.

Only he didn’t utilize technique, so every punch he threw was avoided by the opponent.

On the other hand, his opponent was better at using skill.

"Bang!"

Soon, Tang Jun was defeated by the opponent.

After being defeated, Tang Jun sat on the ground, disheartened and despondent.

As for his opponent, he had already moved on to challenge others.

In the War Department, no one paid extra attention to the psyche of a weakling.

Everything was decided by strength!

Tang Jun sat there disheartened, not even realizing Lin Dong had approached.

"What, given up hope already?" Lin Dong suddenly spoke, causing Tang Jun to subconsciously look up.

And discovered Lin Dong standing in front of him.

Tang Jun said with a wry smile, "Brother Dongzi, my talent isn’t enough. In this life, I can only be an ordinary soldier."

"I guess I’ll never even become a one-star Divine General in my lifetime."

Seeing this, Lin Dong couldn’t help but say, "If you lack talent, then make up for it with effort."

"Is effort useful? My limit is set." Tang Jun said helplessly.

Lin Dong lifted him up from the ground, "On the path of Martial Arts, talent matters, but so do effort and perseverance."

"You already know you lack talent, so if you give up even on effort, what will be left?"

Clutching his fist, Tang Jun muttered, "Right, no matter what, I shouldn’t lose hope."

Lin Dong nodded and took out a Resuscitating Pill, then asked, "Do you have paper and pen?"

Tang Jun was puzzled, but still went to find paper and pen for Lin Dong.

Lin Dong handed him the Resuscitating Pill while writing down a Body Refining Method.

The Body Refining Method comprised two parts, one was to soak in a Medicine Bath to improve one’s constitution.

The other part involved training. However, that method was extremely brutal and not something ordinary people could endure.

Yet, it was precisely created for ordinary people because only they could achieve rapid enhancement through this form of body refining.

Lin Dong handed both the Resuscitating Pill and the Body Refining Method to Tang Jun, admonishing,

"Take this Resuscitating Pill and then follow my prescription to refine your body!"

"You will make a breakthrough because of this!"
