A battlefield report from the Military Council arrived, prompting Dean Xander Xuanyuan to summon the five vice deans to his thatched hut late at night.
"Old Xander, nothing's really happened lately. Why'd you call everyone over?" Tanner Nangong asked casually.
Xander Xuanyuan smiled and directly handed the battlefield report from the Military Council to Tanner Nangong.
Tanner Nangong took the report and read it with indifference, but his expression quickly shifted—surprise, shock, suspicion, disbelief.
The other five, seeing his dramatic reaction, grew even more curious. What could be in this report to make Tanner's face so animated?
"Tanner, what does it say?"
Venerable Dragon Sword couldn't help but ask.
"See for yourself."
Tanner Nangong passed the report to Venerable Dragon Sword.
Next, Venerable Dragon Sword put on his own show of changing expressions.
"Let me see!"
Harvey Huangpu couldn't wait—he snatched the report and scanned it with his ten eyes. By the time he finished, he was completely stunned.
Then Melody Empress and Adrian Zhuge each read through the report. Their reactions were nearly identical: shock, surprise, and awe.
"Old Xander, are you sure this report is real?" Tanner Nangong asked skeptically.
"The report was delivered by the Military Council. What do you think?" Xander Xuanyuan countered.
Adrian Zhuge said seriously, "Since it came from the Military Council, it's probably legit. But it's really unbelievable—Leon Huang has only been at the Blood River Battlefield for a little over a month, and he's already made this much noise? Four Martial Saints, nearly six hundred thousand Strongarm Bull Devils, all taken out by him! Heh, if he were a soldier, just this merit would make him a commander!"
"Who says otherwise!" Xander Xuanyuan sighed. "That kid's not just a cultivation genius—his military talent is off the charts. I fear our Sanctum Martial Academy won't be able to keep this dragon!"
"What do you mean? Is the military trying to poach him from us?" Adrian Zhuge frowned.
Xander Xuanyuan nodded. "This report was personally delivered by Elder Wu's deputy from the Military Council, and he made a request—he hopes our Sanctum Martial Academy will let Leon Huang join the military."
"Why should we? I don't agree!" Harvey Huangpu slammed the table and shouted.
