Gao Wu: A centenarian old man, many children and good fortune! Chapter 027

Xiao Yan himself hadn’t expected his ultimate strength to exceed 21, 000 kilograms!

It should be known that the recognized standards in the Alliance Martial Arts World were: Transcendent First Grade was 12, 000 kilograms, Second Grade was 15, 000 kilograms, and Third Grade was 18, 000 kilograms. And breaking through 21, 000 kilograms in basic fist force meant he had firmly stepped into the threshold of Transcendent Mid-rank—Transcendent Fourth Grade!

This terrifying increase was largely due to the growth of his daughter, Xiao Xiuyun, which brought continuous and stable strength feedback. And Li Xiuying and Chen Yuyao, who were passively pregnant, were like two inexhaustible energy sources. Through their bloodline connection, the most fundamental and purest life energy from the fetal development process was continuously infused into him with a hundredfold amplification!

Just the hundredfold amplification alone caused his basic strength to surge by over 6, 000 kilograms!

This was the Multi-Child, Multi-Blessing System!

Terrifying, indeed!

…

On the City Defense Army side, his appointment had long been issued. The position of captain could not remain vacant indefinitely. It was time for him to report, familiarize himself with his troops and defense zone, and truly begin to fulfill the duties of a general.

Adding the time spent recovering from injuries and the two wedding delays, Xiao Yan had rested for nearly a month.

It was time to head to the City Defense Army camp.

This morning, Xiao Yan changed into a brand new, specially made black combat uniform, representing the status of a City Defense Army general, with the corresponding star rank on his epaulets. His posture appeared even more tall and heroic.

Li Xiuying and Chen Yuyao together carefully straightened his collar and cuffs, their eyes filled with a hint of reluctance and worry.

“Husband, be careful once you reach the camp,” Li Xiuying gently reminded him.

“Husband, safety above all else,” Chen Yuyao softly echoed, her eyes full of reliance on her husband.

Xiao Yan looked at his two wives, who cared for him, and felt warmth in his heart.

He kissed each of their foreheads, then kissed his gurgling daughter who was reaching out her small hands, before turning and striding out of the manor.

At the entrance, a black heavy-duty hovering off-road vehicle, belonging to the City Defense Army and bearing the Special Operations Brigade’s insignia, had long been waiting.

Xiao Yan got into the car, and the vehicle silently started, speeding towards the City Defense Army’s Third Division camp, located in the south of the city.

…

The City Defense Army’s Third Division Special Operations Brigade camp was located in the heart of the entire southern city camp area, covering a vast area with advanced facilities and strict security.

As the black hovering off-road vehicle carrying Xiao Yan slowly drove through the camp gate, a group of people already waiting at the entrance immediately caught his attention.

Leading them was his deputy, General Lin Wei.

She was also dressed in a crisp black special operations general’s uniform, outlining a tall and powerful figure. Her neat short hair, coupled with her sharp and slightly cold face, gave her an imposing aura that suggested “do not approach.” At this moment, her hands were clasped behind her back, her eyes calmly watching the approaching vehicle, showing no discernible emotion.

Behind her, ten burly, composed warriors stood in neat formation. Each of them had eyes as sharp as knives and powerful auras. The weakest among them was at the peak of Eighth Grade, and several had already reached the peak of Ninth Grade! These ten individuals were the captains of the ten small teams under the Special Operations Brigade, forming the backbone of the entire brigade.

Their gazes towards Xiao Yan were filled with curiosity, scrutiny, and a hint of an undeniable complex emotion.

The car door opened, and Xiao Yan calmly stepped out.

He calmly scanned the people before him. The profound aura of one who had experienced many battles and years, perfectly blended with the surging vitality that blossomed after breaking through to Transcendent, forming a unique, heart-pounding pressure. With just this one glance, the eyes of the ten elite captains behind Lin Wei involuntarily grew a few shades more serious.

Lin Wei stepped forward, giving a standard military salute, her voice clear and crisp: “Reporting, Captain! Lin Wei, Deputy Captain of the Special Operations Brigade, leads all small team captains, awaiting your instructions here!”

Her voice was neither high nor low, and her tone was impeccable, but deep within her sharp eyes, there was a subtle hint of scrutiny and coolness.

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, returned the salute, and said in a calm voice: “No need for formalities. Deputy Captain Lin, you’ve worked hard.”

After the brief opening remarks, Lin Wei gestured with a slight turn of her body: “Captain, please follow me. I will introduce you to the brigade’s camp and the captains.”

The group walked towards the Special Operations Brigade’s exclusive training ground deep within the camp.

Along the way, Lin Wei concisely introduced the camp’s layout, personnel structure, and daily tasks. The ten small team captains silently followed behind, their steps neat and discipline strict, but the atmosphere carried a subtle sense of distance.

Finally, they arrived at the spacious outdoor training ground.

The ground was paved with high-strength composite materials, and various heavy training equipment and simulated combat devices were placed around. At this moment, the training ground was empty, appearing somewhat vast.

Lin Wei stopped and turned to face Xiao Yan: “Captain, this is where our brigade conducts daily physical and combat skills training.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than a burly, tall man behind her, with a hideous scar on his face and an aura significantly stronger than the other Ninth Grade captains, suddenly stepped forward!

This man’s aura was powerful, faintly exuding Transcendent fluctuations, clearly a Transcendent Second Grade expert!

He cupped his fist towards Xiao Yan, his voice like a clanging bell, making the air hum:

“Reporting, Captain! I am the captain of the First Team, Zhou Kui! I heard that the Captain broke through to Transcendent at the venerable age of a hundred, and even turned the tide in the battle at the Social Security Bureau. Your strength is unfathomable, and I, Zhou Kui, admire you!”

His tone then shifted, his eyes carrying a hint of undeniable unwillingness and provocation: “However, I, Zhou Kui, am untalented, but by chance, I have also stepped into the threshold of Transcendent, only suffering from a lack of guidance, leading to slow progress! I humbly ask the Captain for some pointers, so that my brothers and I can be convinced and know how to follow the Captain in the future!”

Zhou Kui was originally a hot candidate for the deputy captain position of this Special Operations Brigade. For this position, he had used many family connections and paid a huge price to smooth things over. He was so close to getting it!

Who would have thought that Xiao Yan would suddenly appear, not only directly parachuting in and snatching the captain’s position, but also causing Lin Wei, who had been aiming for the captain’s position, to inadvertently take the deputy position that Zhou Kui had been working so hard for!

Zhou Kui had schemed and calculated meticulously, only to end up with nothing!

Zhou Kui naturally couldn’t afford to provoke Lin Wei. The Lin family’s influence was deeply entrenched in the City Defense Army, and he wasn’t foolish enough to touch that nerve. But this old man in front of him, who supposedly only broke through by luck at a hundred years old and was clearly at the end of his cultivation path…

Hmph! An old man who only stepped into the Transcendent threshold by luck, how dare he come here and ride over him?!

Although Lin Wei hadn’t explicitly said it, her subtle hints in daily conversations made him increasingly believe that this new captain was just lucky, with an unstable foundation, and perhaps not as powerful as the rumors suggested about the battle at the Social Security Bureau. This further ignited the resentment and defiance in Zhou Kui’s heart!

Today, he was going to publicly give this parachuting old man a taste of his own medicine in front of everyone!

Even if he couldn’t do anything to him, he would at least make him lose face, let everyone see what this old man was made of! Let him know that this Special Operations Brigade was not a place he could easily command!

At that time, if Lin Wei could ultimately rise to power through the Lin family’s manipulations, Zhou Kui, as the first to “lead the charge,” the Lin family and Lin Wei should at least remember his favor and not forget his contributions!

This investment was worth the gamble!
