Comprehension Ability: Creating the Five Thunders Technique in Reality-Chapter 274 - 144: Boarding the Destroyer, Who Dares Approach?_2
Chapter 274: Chapter 144: Boarding the Destroyer, Who Dares Approach?_2
This made Lin Beichen feel very unnatural, as if he was being interrogated like a criminal, but it was only for a brief moment.
The man sitting to the left of Song Xiangdong seemed to sense Lin Beichen’s discomfort, withdrew his earlier gaze, became much more amiable, and offered his hand to Lin Beichen for a handshake, introducing himself:
"The younger generation surpasses the older one, young man, your future is limitless!" frёewebηovel.cѳm
"I am Captain Guo Jian of this destroyer, the overall commander! You can call me Captain Guo!"
Then, Song Xiangdong, who was sitting beside them, also chimed in with some introductions, saying, "Don’t underestimate the single bar on his shoulder!"
"You know about five-star generals, right? He’s just one short of that, he’s a four-star!"
"This guy always likes to keep a low profile, his usual style of doing things is low-key in demeanor but high-profile in actions!"
"He has carried out several overseas evacuation missions, and even some wars initiated were not reported on."
"Originally, I was thinking about how to get you back to the country, and just happened to think of Captain Guo, contacted him..."
Before Song Xiangdong could finish his sentence, Guo Jian took over and continued, "Let me explain. Lao Dong and I are old comrades, and when I heard he needed to deploy a vessel to the high seas of the Divine Light Country to pick up a young man, he contacted me."
"I was very surprised at the time, what kind of young man needs a vessel to pick him up? Just so happened I was nearby on a routine patrol, close to Divine Light Country, so I pulled up your records!"
"Young man, you are incredible, I was shocked for a long time after seeing your records, your appearance could very well change the fate of the Great Xia Kingdom, even the world at large!"
"Beyond that, I cannot predict, so I didn’t hesitate, immediately turned the ship around and headed to Divine Light Country. Honestly, the ship’s cannons were already aimed at all defensive forces within the Divine Light Country!"
"If they dared to intercept, we would destroy them at all costs!"
"At all costs?!" Lin Beichen was shocked upon hearing this, uncertain if it would cause such a commotion.
It was only earlier on the helicopter that he learned from Xin Yu and the others that the Divine Light Country was in its highest state of alert!
They also received news that multiple intelligence agencies within the country suddenly became active, all to find that cultivating figure on the volcano, to figure out his origin.
Little did Xin Yu and his team know, that figure was Lin Beichen himself.
It was extremely dangerous; if Song Xiangdong hadn’t arranged for Shadow Squad 91 to preemptively extract him, he might have fallen into the hands of international intelligence agencies and the local military in Divine Light Country!
To protect himself!
"Exactly!"
"But it wasn’t as serious as you might think, even if it did happen, they wouldn’t dare make a fuss, they can only suffer in silence. After all, they’ve lost numerous reconnaissance planes to us, have you ever seen them report it in the news?"
Guo Jian’s explanation left Lin Beichen even more shocked; the old general before him was of a level comparable or even superior to Song Xiangdong, so there was no way he was exaggerating.
This meant that many military conflicts had not been exposed!
And looking at the heroic medal decorating all over the right side of Captain Guo’s uniform, it was clear that he had earned many accolades in battle!
As he said, even after shooting down a few planes... the Divine Light Country would have to consider Great Xia Kingdom’s power before deciding whether or not to make it public.
To not make it public would be to suffer in silence!
Guo Jian took a sip of tea and continued, "Actually, this time I have a favor to ask!"
"Please say so," Lin Beichen nodded in agreement.
"When I saw the detailed information Lao Song provided about you, I was shocked and stayed awake all night. Such a miracle had happened in history!
"A cultivator, you have opened up a whole new corner!"
"You have perfected traditional martial arts to the extreme, mastering the Lightning Element, capable even of remote killing, and created a cultivation method!"
"Would you mind teaching a few people on my ship to enhance my crew’s overall combat effectiveness?"
Song Xiangdong took this conversation further: "Captain Guo’s destroyer leads every mission our country undertakes. If you could train a few, it would greatly enhance Great Xia Kingdom’s naval combat capabilities!"
Lin Beichen thought for a moment and decided to agree, thinking about how different people could progress using his cultivation method.
"Sure, it’s a small matter. I am happy to contribute to the nation’s strength. However, their natural talents and enlightenment will determine their progress, and it would be best if they were chosen for extraordinary physical and mental qualities!"
"Ten in total! They are the cream of the crop, the ten chief instructors of the entire destroyer!"
Captain Guo excitedly showed ten fingers, his face beaming with happiness, and he felt a sense of relief.
Looking at Lin Beichen, who surpassed his predecessors and deeply cared about the nation’s strength, this kind of talent, who also possessed such good character without any arrogance, was extremely rare!
For Guo Jian, tonight was bound to be a sleepless night. After the conversation, he went alone to the deck to enjoy the sea breeze, silently planning for the future.
After the discussion, Lin Beichen was assigned to a small private room. Though not big, it had a bed, a desk, and a private bathroom, but no room for anything else.
On a vessel where space is precious, having a private room was extremely luxurious.
The recent experiences were thrilling, and although Lin Beichen felt unprecedented physical and mental fatigue, he had gained a lot.
His Fire Element had broken through to the Third Realm, taking advantage of the extremely rich Fire Element at the volcanic crater of Jingli Mountain, conditions impossible to find back home, where a breakthrough could take several times as long.
Thinking about this, he recalled Captain Guo’s request. He had to start organizing his thoughts for teaching a group of chief instructors martial arts and some of his initial comprehension of the way.
As for Song Xiangdong, after returning to his room, he used the destroyer’s satellite phone to call him. After all, he had taken Lin Beichen, and it was necessary to report back for peace of mind.

...
At this moment, within the Divine Light Country, in a simple conference room.
The lights were bright, Hao Jianhua sat in the center of the conference room, his face full of worry, looking at the large screen in front of him. The screen displayed a grid of nine sections, connecting the various levels of administrative leadership at Imperial Capital University within the Great Xia Kingdom.
An emergency academic exchange meeting concerning Lin Beichen’s disappearance at Divine Light Country was now underway, along with the near encounter of other students with volcanic eruption!
Parents of the students had complained to the university!
Especially since there had been no news of Lin Beichen, with internet rumors suggesting Lin Beichen might be that cultivator, demanding Imperial Capital University to respond.
Major media reporters had almost surrounded Imperial Capital University, and all the efforts of its public relations department had produced little effect, so Hao Jianhua had been pulled in for an international video conference.
The public relations department and administrative leadership at Imperial Capital University were all waiting for Hao Jianhua’s latest updates.
"Ring ring!"
"Ring ring!"
As Hao Jianhua was pondering countermeasures in distress, the phone on the conference table suddenly rang, interrupting his thoughts, inflaming his temper, considering the effort to gather an emergency meeting at 8 PM!
