Chapter 473 - Setting a Precedent! Meeting That Girl Again! (1/2)

Colonel! In today’s Federation system, one only needed to advance one rank further and he or she would be a major general, a general!

God knows how many soldiers had toiled until their hair turned white on this rank, and how many more could only get to the rank of colonel right before they retired.

Generals, especially if they had risen from the ranks of real military attaches, could only get to this rank in the Federation by the age of forty, even if it was a very outstanding soldier.

Qin Fen looked at the young colonel who was coming over. Judging by the aura radiating from his body, Qin Fen conferred him to be about the age of twenty-five. A faint smell of iron and blood was wafting from his body, meaning he was a true military attache; he had gone through the test of blood and fire on the battlefield. He hadn’t risen through the ranks through some military’s art and literature system; even a civilian who had sung two popular songs could casually rise to the ranks of a major general.

Looking at the entire Federation army, only a few people could become a colonel at such a young age.

An unfamiliar name that he had once heard through some soldier crossed Qin Fen’s mind. Zuo Lin! According to the rumors, Zuo Lin possesses a decent martial strength, but the most outstanding part about him is his intellectual talent, as well as his schemes.

Zuo Lin got to observe Qin Fen from up-close for the first time. Immediately, his evaluation of Qin Fen improved a bit. Not only does he have a strong and robust body, but more importantly, he is calm.

Zuo Lin, observing Qin Fen, nodded his head. Even when he encountered Koreans during the assessment interview who came to protest, he was so calm. This kind of mentality doesn’t match his age.

Similarly, Qin Fen was observing Zuo Lin. Fourteen-star level, level two true energy oscillations. Apart from extremely few heaven-defying monsters, with such martial strength at his young age, along with his outstanding commanding ability as well as his long military career, he really deserves to be a colonel and the regimental commander of the main force today.

Qin Fen, staring at Zuo Lin, nodded slightly and cast a few approving glances in light of his calculated evaluation.

However, Qin Fen’s approving glances only brought a lot of dissatisfaction in Zuo Lin’s heart immediately. It’s not admiration but approval!

Admiration and approval might seem the same but they were two different things. Peers could admire each other. A junior could admire his elders’ style. Similarly, a subordinate could admire his commanding officer’s style.

However, approval! This was always seen in the eyes of elders when they looked at juniors. Only when the superiors were looking at lower ranks could they have this expression.

A young lieutenant colonel, who had not been in the army for more than two years, dares to look at me with approval? The dissatisfaction in Zuo Lin’s heart continued to rise. Only I, Zuo Lin, can assume a higher position and look down at you, Qin Fen! Why are you, Qin Fen, looking at me, Zuo Lin, with that kind of gaze?

Zuo Lin’s disdainful cold snort broke the silence of the quiet promenade. He took not another glance at Qin Fen and made his way to the assessment room.

This wasn’t a thoughtless expression from a playboy but rather, Zuo Lin dared to express his dissatisfaction directly because he had absolute confidence in himself.

Qin Fen withdrew his attention from Zuo Lin and came to a spacious room bearing the ‘wait’ word, under the guidance of the captain.

Rows after rows of wooden chairs were lying quietly inside. The hundreds of seats looked more like the seatings in the auditorium for elementary students to attend the general assembly.

A total of thirteen soldiers sat quietly in the spacious room. Judging by their ranks, the lowest among them was the rank of colonel. There were also two generals.

Most of these people were in their forties. Only, one or two among them were in their thirties. And except from one woman, all others were male.

A faint bloody smell of blood and iron was lingering around them. They had a stronger military spirit than Qin Fen.

Everyone in the room was astounded when they saw Qin Fen walking into the room. Almost everyone’s gaze was locked on his military rank; everyone’s first reaction was of surprise and shock.

Lieutenant colonel! What are military heads thinking? For a planet as large as Saturn, even a lieutenant colonel can submit the application…

Very soon, everyone’s attention shifted to Qin Fen, which drew everyone’s repeated gasps or hisses of surprise.

A lieutenant colonel at this age? Immediately, a name flashed in everyone’s mind together: Qin Fen!

Immediately afterward, a series of data flashed quickly in everyone’s mind. Swept through the elite recruits of several continents almost alone like a super versatile ace soldier in the recruit tournament. Finished several special anti-terrorist missions in a row. Once entered the Sacred Martial Hall to cultivate martial dao and killed the martial god of State of Korea, Bae Seong-Joon, and new karate master of State of Japan, Kyokushin Kouten on Hallasan just after exiting the Sacred Martial Hall.

Such extraordinary strength at his young age! Shock, dread, admiration, and approval were visible in the eyes of everyone. Two colonels even considered backing out.

In short two years, Qin Fen had already made a name for himself with his own hands. Everyone in the room knew that Qin Fen might be young but the number of people who had lost their lives in his hand was no less than theirs, he might even have killed more than anyone else present.

Qin Fen took a seat and sat down calmly, staring at the door leading to the promenade. There was a slight bit of doubt on his face. He could clearly hear the sound of footsteps that was quieter than ant’s, but he was unable to sense the strength of the person coming in!

Slowly, the door was pushed open by someone. A smile appeared on Qin Fen’s face as he saw the person standing by the entrance. He lightly raised his hand to the person standing by the door. Lin Ling, who he had not seen for a long while, was still just as beautiful and was still always wearing a calm and cold expression.

In the recruit tournament, Qin Fen had steamrolled through his opponents in all the events he had partaken like a speeding tank. The only competition he lost was the sniper tournament and that was to the hands of Lin Ling.

Lin Ling’s appearance that day broke Qin Fen’s legend of dominating all the competitions.

The rank of captain stupified all the people sitting here even more so. Monster-like Qin Fen, a lieutenant colonel coming to sign up is already a mishap. How can a captain be here as well? This girl is beautiful and perfect, like a porcelain doll. She is more like a movie star than a soldier. But does that have anything to do with this?

Lin Ling raised her head slightly, looking at Qin Fen’s greeting gesture. Nevertheless, she still kept an absolute quiet expression. Not even half a bit of surprise could be found in her eyes. Maintaining the same expression and a steady gait, she walked to Qin Fen and sat beside him slowly.

As usual, Lin Ling didn’t speak a word after she sat down. She was like a fairy tale princess who couldn’t speak or show emotions because she was caught in witch magic.
