1365 Their Spirit Will Live on! The Pillar of the Empire! (4)

“I came here today to present the National Military Medal.

“Colonel Wang Teng, please come on stage.”

General Fu Xinglan was straightforward. His gaze landed on Wang Teng.

Instantly, all eyes were on the latter.

!!

As expected, it’s him!

Their inner speculations were confirmed at the moment. Envy and admiration appeared on their faces as they trained their eyes on Wang Teng.

Wang Teng stepped on the stage, calm and composed.

General Fu Xinglan looked at the young man in front of his in satisfaction as he spoke in a low voice. “Colonel Wang Teng, your exploits during this war were outstanding. On behalf of the military and the Great Qian Empire, I award you with the National Military Medal.

“This medal represents the pillar of the empire. I hope you’ll stay true to your principles and never forget your battle spirit.

“May you flourish, may all martial arts flourish.”

“Yes!” Wang Teng saluted and replied loudly.

The next instant, an exquisite jade box appeared in General Fu Xinglan’s hand. He opened it, revealing a gold medal to all the people present.

Everyone had their eyes peeled to see the medal. It felt like a rare treasure.

The great general took out the gold medal and pinned it on Wang Teng’s chest. Then, he firmly patted the young man’s shoulder and saluted.

No words were exchanged, but the former could feel the general’s expectation. An additional burden landed on his shoulders.

He lowered his head to look at the gold medal shining gently as it hung over his chest. It was eye-catching and extraordinary.

So this is the National Military Medal!

This recognition was like a death-exemption token.

It represented the backing of the military and the protection of the Great Qian Empire.

However, Wang Teng realized that he wasn’t as excited as originally thought he would be. After rounds and rounds of battles, he knew that his own ability was the foundation of everything. If he managed to reach the eternal stage, no one in the entire Great Qian Empire would be able to threaten him.

General Fu Xinglan said all of a sudden, “Colonel Wang Teng, I look forward to your performance in the League of Talents.”

Wang Teng blinked. The general actually knew he was going to participate. It seemed that General Cameron had told the higher ups about his plan.

“I will work hard,” Wang Teng replied.

General Fu Xinglan continued, “Good. You’re representing the military, so all of the military is there to back you up. You have nothing to fear.”

“Yes!” Wang Teng’s eyes shimmered.

He suddenly had people supporting him!

Most of the talents participating in the League of Talents hailed from powerful backgrounds; dirty tricks could be expected. However, he wouldn’t have to worry since the military would be supporting him.

Of course, he wasn’t really worried, but having less trouble was always a good thing.

“Go ahead.” General Fu Xinglan nodded. He faded gradually until he disappeared in silence.

Many among the warriors wished they could see the latter for a few more seconds.

“Colonel Wang Teng, congratulations!” General Cameron smiled.

“Thank you for taking care of me,” Wang Teng replied gratefully.

He knew that without the general and his faction’s help, he would have never received the medal that easily.

“All right, no need to be so polite.” General Cameron waved his hands and smiled. “Go ahead and bask in this glory.”

Wang Teng shook his head with a smile. The general had learned how to tease him.

The ceremony was over, but none of the martial warriors attending were in a hurry to leave. All of them wanted to take a closer look at the medal.

The instant the young hero walked down—Di Qi and the others crowded around him, intently staring at his chest.

Wang Teng was speechless. What’s wrong with them? Shouldn’t they be looking at me? Am I not much better-looking than the medal?

“Tsk tsk, so this is the National Military Medal!”

“It’s gold and shiny. Beautiful.”

“I want to touch it…”

“Bastard, who dares to touch my chest!” Wang Teng fumed.
