126: Chapter 156 A Triumph

The mission this time is considered over at this point!

Although there are still some remaining members of the God Worship Cult, the main force has already entered, and they can be wiped out one by one.

Of the seven Military Region squads, only the two squads including Jiang Ling's reached the lair of the God Worship Cult members.

Since Jiang Ling and his team contributed the most, it was practically a certainty that their Southeast Military Region would take first place in this Military Region grand competition.

Jin Dashan, the Commander of the Southeast Military Region, was very happy.

For many consecutive years, their Southeast Military Region had been the last place in the grand competition.

This time, they could finally hold their heads high.

Jin Dashan also had a very deep impression of Jiang Ling.

Although Medusa helped many times, Jiang Ling's own strength indeed played a huge role.

Without Jiang Ling, they would definitely not have taken first place in this grand competition.

Not long after, the various squads came out of the Secret Realm one after another.

Many squads were not lightly injured and rushed to receive treatment.

Their wristbands were taken off, placed into a box, and verified by AI to calculate their points.

After Jiang Ling and his team came out, they put their wristbands into the box and were then taken back to the previous camp.

Once they arrived at the camp, everyone rested well.

They were indeed very exhausted from eradicating the God Worship Cult this time.

Jiang Ling lay on the bed and checked his Rank interface.

Cultivation Technique: Black Tortoise Breathing Technique (Level 81)

Through continuous fighting inside, Jiang Ling's Rank had reached Level 34.

At Level 34, all of his basic attributes had almost doubled.

This made his overall strength more than ten times stronger.

Coupled with the improvement in Medusa's strength this time, Jiang Ling could be said to have gained a huge profit.

If there were no accidents, they should achieve first place in this Military Region grand competition.

After returning, there would definitely be rewards.

Jiang Ling's Rushing Thunder Hand and Seven Absolute Blades of the Thunder Prison had both reached Major Achievement, so he could get another Martial Skill to enhance his strength.

A few days later, the results of the grand competition were out.

As everyone expected, the Southeast Military Region took first place in this grand competition.

The Commanders of the various Military Regions congratulated Jin Dashan, and they all felt very jealous that the Southeast Military Region had produced such a super talented sapling like Jiang Ling.

Such a good sapling could become someone who could stand alone in a Military Region in the future.

Jin Dashan was also very happy.

His Southeast Military Region was truly going to rise this time.

For first place in the Military Region competition, everyone in the squad received an SS Rank resource as a reward.

After returning, they could exchange them.

That afternoon, they took a plane back to the Southeast Military Region.

Jiang Ling now had an SS Rank resource and an S Rank resource in his hands, just enough to make an exchange.

The resources controlled by the military were by no means inferior to those of the major universities, and were even stronger.

Therefore, Jiang Ling could make a good selection this time.

Upon returning to the 178 Special Operations Battalion, Jiang Ling discovered that, except for some janitorial staff, the original soldiers of the 178 Special Operations Battalion were all absent.

After asking around, Jiang Ling learned that they had gone to carry out a mission.

A Secret Realm along the southeast coast had suddenly ruptured, and a large number of exotic beasts and exotic races surged out, causing massive damage.

All the soldiers of the 178 Special Operations Battalion had gone there to carry out the mission.

With no comrades around, Jiang Ling felt a bit empty living in the barracks.

He planned to head to the coast to rendezvous with the 178 Special Operations Battalion after exchanging his resources.

Just as he was preparing to exchange his resources, Jiang Ling received an order.

Commander Jin Dashan wanted to summon him.

Jiang Ling was stunned, not knowing why Jin Dashan was looking for him.

So, he drove an off-road vehicle from the 178 Special Operations Battalion to the Military Region headquarters.

After verifying his identity, the sentry soldiers let him in smoothly.

"Report!"

Jiang Ling arrived outside the Commander's office and shouted loudly.

"Come in!"

Jin Dashan's voice came from inside.

"Commander!"

Jiang Ling gave a military salute.

"Come, Jiang Ling, sit down!"

Jin Dashan was a very burly man with a very powerful Aura; he was like an ancient primordial beast. Sitting there, even though he did not display his strength, he felt like a mountain that made people look up to him.

"Martial Saint!"

Jiang Ling immediately determined Jin Dashan's strength.

After Zhao Kailai was promoted to Martial Saint, he also had this kind of Aura.

"Yes, Commander!"

Jiang Ling sat down on a chair and asked, "I wonder why the Commander is looking for me?"

"It's like this!"

Jin Dashan's tone was very kind, "I called you here to learn about your pet, Medusa."

"It is recorded in our history that Medusa was an ancient deity."

"I wonder how you managed to tame her as your pet?"

"Rest assured, we are not trying to seize your pet; we just want to learn more about deities through Medusa."

...

Hearing this, Jiang Ling suddenly realized that it was all for Medusa.

This was also normal.

As a deity, Medusa suddenly becoming his pet would definitely arouse the interest of many people.

Even the military had never encountered such a thing before.

So it was inevitable that they would want to learn about it.

"It was an accident."

Jiang Ling roughly explained the process of how Medusa was summoned by the God Worship Cult and then how, by a stroke of luck, he managed to tame her.

Of course, he concealed the matter of the System and only said that Medusa had accidentally trapped herself and signed a Soul contract with him.

"So that's how it is!"

A look of surprise appeared on Jin Dashan's face.

"Then you really have good luck!"

"Can you call her out?"

"I want to ask her about other planes."

"You should also know that these Secret Realms are actually different planes, and the plane where deities reside might not be too far from us."

"We must make more preparations!"

Jiang Ling nodded, took Medusa off his neck, and placed her on the ground.

A flash of red light flickered, and Medusa slowly grew larger, returning to her original form.

In front of Jiang Ling, Medusa was docile, but in front of others, she was aloof, with a face full of arrogance, unprofanable.

Even in front of Jin Dashan, her Aura did not restrain itself in the slightest.
