High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 613 - 422: The General Star Appears, the Martial Drill Begins! (Part 2)

From a distance, one could feel an immense sense of oppression, as if an unparalleled Fierce Beast was approaching.

Watching the man who stirred up giant waves, someone secretly nodded in admiration on the largest mothership’s deck, right in the center of the warship formation.

"Impressive, this man is the leader of the new generation of General Stars in the Northern War Zone, Yan Wu."

"Yan Wu? Ranked third on the General Star List, I heard your Northern War Zone is already preparing... the Battle Zone Commander candidate assessment for him. Truly impressive."

An elderly man with white hair, but full of Spirit, responded. Under the sunlight, the row of Golden Stars on his shoulder sparkled, far exceeding the number of fingers on one hand.

Among the three chiefs of Huaxia Military Department, two were present today, with nearly all the high-ranking officers of the Five Major War Zones gathered on one ship.

Standing beside the two veteran leaders of the Military Department were five generals wearing the uniforms of the Five Major War Zones, the highest-ranking generals of the Five Major War Zones.

Behind the seven were more than twenty people accompanying them, all of whom were top-ranking generals within the Five Major War Zones.

Behind these people were numerous General Stars, who, although could shake multiple provinces with a stomp on any other day, were now just sideshows to the military exercise.

"Marshal Lin, Yan Wu’s Martial Arts Talent is indeed good. Our Northern War Zone indeed plans to initiate the commander candidate assessment for him, but it’ll take a few more years; Yan Wu still needs a few more years of experience."

"Hm, a good seedling should go through more training. Only through hundreds of refinements does steel become truly strong."

Hundreds of refined steels!

Upon hearing the elder’s words, the generals and General Stars of the Northern War Zone all smiled, with many General Stars even glancing at their counterparts from other War Zones.

Although the Five Major War Zones are part of the Huaxia Military Department, each zone—East, West, South, North, and Central—are distinct. There’s always a subtle competition among them.

The Military Department encourages this competitiveness, as only fierce competition can maintain the strong combat capacity of the War Zones, being Huaxia’s most stalwart line of defense.

With the once-in-a-decade military exercise, it’s even more crucial to determine who’s superior. The better the General Stars perform, the brighter their respective War Zones shine.

"We won’t compete with the Central War Zone for first place in the exercises, but this time, we’ll fight for the second position!" was the shared thought among the Northern War Zone’s high-ranking officers.

Last time, the Northern War Zone ranked third, losing to the Eastern frontline.

Soon after the appearance of the Northern General Star, thunder roared unexpectedly from the east, and lightning flickered instantly.

"It’s the Eastern people!"

Almost simultaneously, both the Northern and Eastern War Zone personnel recognized the newcomer.

Amidst the distant dancing silver serpents and roaring thunder, a well-built, long-haired woman in a uniform appeared, with a calm expression. Lightning surrounded her body, appearing like the incarnation of thunder.

"The first of the new generation of Eastern General Stars, ranking second on the General Star List, Ancient You!"

As Ancient You appeared, she immediately looked across the sea at Yan Wu, creating a pervasive aura of gunpowder in the air, drawing cheers as strong as mountains and seas from the soldiers across the bay.

The Military Department has always revered martial power, with the earliest batches of Martial Saints nearly all coming from the Military Department.

The Northeast faces off, and the West is equally unwilling to be overshadowed.

Rumble ————

Frost appeared high in the sky, then instantly transformed into a sky full of hail, as a silhouette descended from above. The hailstones fell into the sea like meteors, and a short-haired, brawny man wielding a frost-covered Long Saber emerged.

With the third party’s entry, the invisible momentum between the three on the field resulted in another surge, their auras colliding to create towering waves like a tsunami.

The cheers grew even louder, just as everyone was anticipating the three to determine the outcome.

A domineering, confident, and formidable aura shot up to the sky, spreading in an instant, causing space to emit a series of rapid tremors.

At that moment, the surrounding air seemed to instantly Annihilate into a vacuum; frost, giant waves, and lightning twisted in that instant.

Witnessing this, the leaders of the Northern, Eastern, and Western War Zones had their expressions slightly change, with a hint of envy and helplessness in their eyes.

They all clearly understood that this was an anomaly only a Martial Artist who reached a very high level of Martial Momentum could manifest.

This indicated that the newcomer was hugely confident, confident to this extent!

As this aura swept across, ordinary General Stars on some warships couldn’t help but take several steps back, all activating their Qi and Blood.

After another spatial tremor, a crisp snapping sound echoed.

Then this powerful aura instantly suppressed the waves stirred up by the three earlier, appearing from a distance as if an invisible giant bowl was inverted over the sea, the sea’s center surface sinking instantly while the surrounding sea surface surged.

Afterwards, as the aftermath spread, the sea surface became turbulent, even the massive warships swayed.

In the storm’s center, a proud figure stepped out, suspended above the three people.

This was a man nearly two meters tall, with an exceptionally strong build, eyes filled with disdain, as if he intended to suppress the three with his own power.

Seeing this man appear, many General Stars on the mothership showed helplessness.

Meanwhile, the soldiers on the warships became frenzied at this moment, each like they were on stimulant, cheering and shouting.

Eventually, the shouts converged, leaving only one sound across the entire bay.

"Ling Jue!"

The number one of the Central War Zone, ranked number one among the new generation of General Stars of the Five Major War Zones, champion of the last Military Department contest, the uncrowned king of the new generation of Five Major War Zones!

"No wonder it’s Ling Jue!"
