NOVEL NEXT Chapter 864: The Name of War God?
Qingyun saw Long Yawei's expression suddenly change and thought he didn't like people like Qin Feng who got into the Tiger Shark Team through money, feeling even more amused, he said: "Oh, there he is, speaking of..."
Unexpectedly.
He hadn't finished speaking.
He saw Long Yawei stand up at this moment, quickly walk over to Qin Feng, bow solemnly, and say, "Brother Qin, about what happened before, I apologize to you!"
"What's going on?"
Qingyun was taken aback.
He knew Long Yawei, as the captain of the Tiger Shark Team, to be quite proud, and not many people could make him bow his head, let alone a newcomer like Qin Feng.
Still puzzled.
The remaining members of the Tiger Shark Team and the few hundred Eastern Border Army soldiers hurriedly stood up despite their exhaustion, all bowed towards Qin Feng in unison, and shouted: "Brother Qin, we're sorry!! Thank you for saving us!!"
Their voices were loud and uniform!
Qingyun was completely befuddled.
Why are they all bowing to Qin Feng?
"Leader Long, what's going on..." he asked, perplexed, stepping forward.
Leader Long continued to bow to show sincerity and respect until Qin Feng casually waved his hand, allowing him to straighten his back and respond to Qingyun, "At the end of the Underwater World, it was all thanks to Brother Qin that we survived; he is everyone's benefactor. Yet, I had been misunderstanding Brother Qin, so I apologize to him."
Underwater, Elder Shi's words enlightened them.
Qin Feng's "love for showing off," "pretending," and "boasting" were because he was genuinely remarkable, and they hadn't believed it.
Now.
Brandishing the Spirit Talismans and coming out from the End of the World, seeing the piranha avoid them, they began to believe it.
After reaching the shore.
The demon monk, one of the Ghost Abyss Seven Martial Evils, who had been stationed there was also gone.
This further convinced them that Qin Feng was truly extraordinary!
So, they collectively apologized to him.
"What's going on? Is there something wrong?"
Long Yawei looked at Qingyun.
"Uh..."
Qingyun was choked, feeling chills in his heart.
He had initially wanted Leader Long to teach Qin Feng a lesson to curb his arrogance, but he never expected Qin Feng to "conquer" Leader Long as well.
Could it be that he misunderstood him again?
Is he really extraordinary?
At this moment.
General Shi, who was resting, saw Qin Feng "forgive" his subordinates, looked at the blue sky, and laughed heartily before speaking, "Qin Feng."
"Hm?"
Qin Feng was also resting.
"In the future, the Eastern Border Army will rely on you!"
General Shi continued.
As the words fell.
Everyone quieted down and looked at Qin Feng.
They all understood the meaning behind General Shi's words.
General Shi originally had old injuries, making him unsuitable for leading charges; he was approved for retirement, but there weren't other capable people to support the Eastern Border Army.
Commander Ling Yun was a great choice, regarded as the future leader of the Eastern Border Army.
But while his leadership skills were there, his combat strength was lacking.
Many times, various operations required a general capable of holding off thousands single-handedly, to sweep away the enemy forces.
Therefore, for this East Sea operation, Commander Ling Yun commanded from the rear, while General Shi continued to march onto the battlefield.
In other words.
The Eastern Border Army needs the next War God!
Was General Shi's earlier comment implying this?
No one could tell.
However.
It was clear to everyone that General Shi was genuinely pleased from the bottom of his heart and genuinely fond of Qin Feng.
Even Qingyun, who was not part of the Tiger Shark Team, could see that!
Qin Feng, a newcomer, a Half-step Master, was to become the future of General Shi's Eastern Border Army?
Unbelievable!
"Stop joking around."
Qin Feng didn't notice the strange looks from everyone, lazily waved his hand, and said, "Old General, don't forget we agreed that if the Eastern Border is in trouble, I'll help as a part of it, but I don't have time to stay in the Eastern Border; I have a lot of things to handle."
"..."
Everyone was speechless upon hearing this.
Ziyi anxiously reminded him, "Qin Feng, do you know what this means? I heard the Eastern Border Army is selecting a new War God! General Shi said that, couldn't you tell?"
"So what?" Qin Feng shrugged.
"So what??"
Everyone was bewildered.
That's the War God!
To receive the War God title is a colossal honor!
Yet he... isn't interested!
"Stop joking around."
Qin Feng once again lazily waved his hand and said, "Let's hurry and finish up; I have to go home. I'm not sure if my wife is back yet. If not, I have to find her; if she's back, we have to focus on the next generation, so I'm really busy."
"..."
Everyone was at a loss for words.
If it were them.
Even risking their lives, even giving up on women, they would definitely strive for the everlasting name of "War God"!
But he just outright refused for the sake of going back to his wife...
At this moment.
General Shi was also surprised by Qin Feng's words, was helped up by Brother Bing, looked at Qin Feng, and was about to speak when Qin Feng interrupted, "Old General, you can't go back on your word; you promised me freedom when I joined the Tiger Shark Team, which is why I joined."
"..."
General Shi was at a loss for words.
Initially thinking Qin Feng was young and not very mature.
But with the War God title in front of him, he stuck to his beliefs, it seems he had underestimated him by far; he was someone with his own opinions, not easily swayed by others...
With a long sigh, General Shi felt a bit of regret in his heart.
Killing the demon monk, destroying the Deuterium Emperor, having such astonishing strength was truly a big loss for the Eastern Border Army.
"Then you must promise me one thing," General Shi continued, "The other three armies, Northern Border Army, West Earth Army, Southern Domain Army, if they invite you to be their War God or general, you mustn't agree."
"..."
Everyone broke out in a sweat; it turned out General Shi had such concerns, which further highlighted how much he valued and appreciated Qin Feng.
It was as if the War God title, which others couldn't even covet, was readily available for Qin Feng to choose.
Qin Feng, too, lazily waved his hand and said, "Rest assured, I'm already too busy with my own affairs. This isn't the time to consider these things; we need to find the Dragon Seeking Plate."
As the words fell.
Everyone's heart sank.
Indeed!
Though they had destroyed the Deuterium Emperor, where was the Dragon Seeking Plate??
"It was taken by the mermaid next to the Deuterium Emperor," Qin Feng said.
Princess Nami of the Mermaid Country anxiously said, "Oh no! That person is my uncle; he's been looking for the Golden Spear for a long time; if he finds it, it'll be a disaster!"
"That's right!"
General Shi also became solemn at this moment, saying, "Rumor has it, the Golden Spear can open the 'Dark Gate'; once the 'Dark Gate' is opened, the entire East Sea will be plunged into chaos, affecting the safety of the entire world! This is why I came here to find the Golden Spear as well..."
