172: Situ Mingyue, an SSS-level talented professional!

The leading squadron leader was a steel knight, holding a nightmare difficulty Platinum Spear, and he sternly shouted to the crowd, "Who sent the distress signal?"

"Squadron Leader, I did!"

Cheng An put down his Dragonman Spear, not showing it off.

He walked up to the stationed soldiers and took out his identification for them to check.

After checking, the Squadron Leader couldn't help but take a few more glances at Cheng An.

Shengjing University, an SS-Rank Talent Knight; as long as such a person doesn't die, they will most likely achieve something significant in the future.

Thus, the Squadron Leader's tone became much better, "What's going on, tell me, was there an Advanced professional here just now?"

Hearing the Squadron Leader's inquiry, Cheng An didn't lie and recounted the entire process in detail.

Too many people witnessed it around, over a hundred pairs of eyes.

Xia Qi's massacre of Low-level demons couldn't be hidden at all; a casual inquiry would reveal everything.

After listening, the Squadron Leader turned in surprise to look at Xia Qi, who was slowly drinking medicinal wine by the campfire.

Xia Qi's Rank and profession were clear to him at a glance.

A Rank 29 professional?

He hadn't even completed his second advancement.

How could he have eliminated so many Low-level demons?

And there was even an Abyssal Devil.

Under normal circumstances, he wasn't even confident he could easily take down a Rank 40 Abyssal Devil.

Yet, in Cheng An's narration, Xia Qi killed the Abyssal Devil, which was a Rank 40 second advancement, within a few seconds.

And he killed over ninety-five percent of the Low-level demons present.

This was truly terrifying.

Having been in the military for so many years, this was the first time he had heard of such a powerful low-level professional.

It was simply unbelievable.

Taking a deep breath, the Squadron Leader coughed sternly, and after questioning Cheng An, he immediately questioned the other soldiers present.

After asking, the results were identical.

One person can lie, but these over a hundred people, who don't even know each other, couldn't possibly lie.

He turned and came before Xia Qi, and the first thing he saw was Xia Qi's military merit badge on his shoulder.

"One-star Sergeant?"

The one-star Sergeant badge required 1200 military merits to obtain.

Anything can deceive people, but military merit will not.

This indicated that Xia Qi was a legitimate officer.

"Junior Officer, you are very good!"

The Squadron Leader praised him unreservedly, his tone full of commendation.

He himself was an Intermediate Officer, five stars, and thus could address Xia Qi as a Junior Officer.

If Xia Qi's military Rank was higher than his, regardless of age or Rank, according to military rules, he would have to call him 'Sir'.

And the twenty stationed soldiers who came with him were all of the officer Rank, including some who were the same Rank as Xia Qi.

Their gazes toward Xia Qi were undoubtedly filled with respect.

Don't underestimate these 1200 military merits.

These were truly people who had made contributions to the Human Race.

They themselves had risen from Private, and they knew the difficulty of obtaining military merits.

Not once was it not a struggle for their lives, snatching military merits from the hands of demonic creatures.

During this time, they had seen too much...

Of the comrades who once fought side by side, almost none were still alive.

Those who could make it this far were all professionals with strong willpower and formidable strength.

Therefore, a one-star Sergeant badge could explain a lot.

What's more, Xia Qi had only reached Rank 29 and was already a one-star officer.

Many professionals, even at Rank 40, were only nine-star Privates, let alone one-star officers.

Facing these stationed soldiers, Xia Qi stood up and saluted.

"Sir, this is my duty."

"Good, what a duty!"

The Squadron Leader laughed heartily, then waved his hand, "Let's go, record the events here."

Since there was no danger, they only needed to record this small battle.

Although such small battles were not grand, they were an indispensable part of humanity's victory over the Abyssal Demon Race.

They could leave after recording the true information.

After the stationed soldiers left, Cheng An whispered to Xia Qi, "This is just the squadron that usually patrols the battlefield; as long as someone sends out a distress signal, they will rush over."

"However, you'll see, more people will come."

As Cheng An's words fell, sure enough, the surrounding mist churned violently again.

Teams of unfamiliar people rushed over from all directions.

It gave a sense of 'when one side is in trouble, all sides come to the rescue'.

"Brothers, are you alright?"

"What kind of demonic creatures? Watch us kill these disgusting demonic creatures clean."

"Wherever rescue is needed, we will appear there."

"Where are the demonic creatures? Where did they go?"

...

Listening to the shouts from the supporting teams, the soldiers present, including Xia Qi, felt a warmth in their hearts.

These were all Dragon Country people; no matter which country's soldiers sent out a distress signal, as long as they were nearby, they would rush to support.

"Sometimes, as a member of the Dragon Country, I really feel quite proud."

Xia Qi's lips curved slightly upward, speaking from the heart.

Cheng An said with a smile, "Indeed, Dragon Country people are known for their unity and camaraderie."

"No matter which country calls for help, they are all Human Race, treated equally."

"Very good."

Xia Qi sighed with emotion in his heart; he could truly feel a belief from these teams.

The belief in unity.

These people disregarded danger; during their rescue, they didn't even know what lay ahead.

But they came.

They came decisively!

Xia Qi also understood that if he saw a distress signal, he would certainly rush to support.

Only in this way can the Human Race survive under the invasion of so many Void Creatures.

Otherwise, if everyone were selfish and only cared for themselves, even without many races, a single Abyssal Demon Race could annihilate humanity.

The supporting teams found that everything was alright, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, simply resting at the Dragonkin Camp dungeon entrance.

Too many teams had come, and the number of people suddenly increased several times compared to before.

The area in front of the dungeon became extremely lively.

Xia Qi also saw a few individuals who were solo professionals among them.

In the Dragon Battlefield, professionals who can act alone have full confidence in their own strength.

A light illuminated the sky.

Pure white light streamed down through the mist, and a hazy moon seemed to appear in the sky.

Cheng An, who was chatting with Xia Qi, was stunned, "She came too?"

"Who?"

Xia Qi looked up, watching the rapidly approaching professional.

Before she even arrived, her Aura had already swept over.

He could feel that the person coming was very strong, somewhat similar to the feeling Sikong gave him.

"Her name is Sima Mingyue, the eldest daughter of the Situ family in the Capital. Don't let her Rank 40 second advancement fool you; she's very strong because she has SSS-Rank Talent."

"SSS-Rank Talent?"

Xia Qi was also slightly taken aback; this was probably the first SSS-Rank Talent holder he had ever met.
