When Meng Chao heard it, he could not help but frown and say, “Alright, the process might have some twists and turns, but the results are still pretty good . No matter how insignificant something is, it’s still worth something, right? Even if he’s the weakest heroic spirit, he’s still a heroic spirit . Many people want one, but don’t have it!

“I heard that heroic spirits can change to a lot of forms and have a lot of divine abilities . Even in dreams, they can teach their heroic spirit users a lot of skills . They can also use their heroic spirit users to strengthen their bones and bodies . They can also release them as killing moves .

“The speed of their attacks is even faster than that of martial artists’ creation of spirit energy magnetic fields . They can also seep into the heroic spirit users’ weapons and use the vibrations from the spirit energy magnetic fields to interfere with the sphere energy level in an atomic nucleus . They can change the atomic mass of a weapon so that they can maximize the quality, optimize the form, and maximize the power of the weapon .

“If you add a heroic spirit to a normal saber, it will turn into a dragon-slaying saber . If you add a heroic spirit to a normal rifle, it can oneshot a Nightmarish Beast .

“What sort of ability does your heroic spirit have?”

“Nothing! It has nothing!” Chu Feixiong said with a long face . “That’s the problem . Other people’s heroic spirits are made from the powerful vitality magnetic fields, memories, and determination of Heaven Realm or Deity Realm elites . They possess powerful divine abilities that allow them to split open the earth and destroy the world .

“Some heroic spirits are formed after Earth Realm elites die, and they absorb a lot of normal people’s dying wills and determination . After they gather their wills together, they turn into powerful entities and can be considered to be very powerful .

“But my heroic spirit is a normal, fragmented soul . With his stubbornness and obstinance, he was born alone in the field of the heroic spirit course . Xu Wanshan was a foot soldier when he was alive, so what sort of skills do you think he has?

“I often dream about being Xu Wanshan and training madly, but all he does is practice running, walk in goose steps, stand at attention, salute, practice push ups, rotations on the horizontal bar, throwing grenades, the most basic saber techniques and gun techniques, and Army Fist . No matter how skilled he was with these ‘skills’, at the end of the day, he’s still just a foot soldier . ”

Chu Feixiong suddenly stared straight ahead .

Before Meng Chao could say anything, he stood up, took one step back, and stood at attention . His eyes were wide open, his expression was honest and stern, and he flung his arms before he executed the most beautiful army salute Meng Chao had ever seen in his life .

If the generals saw him, they would definitely not be able to help but slap Chu Feixiong’s shoulder and praise him . “What a good soldier!”

His large movements naturally caught the attention of quite a number of the five thousand people in the cafeteria .

Some of the freshmen who had just arrived were very shocked .

But when the military school students saw that it was Chu Feixiong, they smiled kindly at him and turned away, as if they were used to this .

“What are you doing?”

Meng Chao was shocked . He quickly tugged at his best friend, but he stayed as still as a pine tree rooted to the ground . Even with his insane strength, Meng Chao could not make Chu Feixiong budge .

A few seconds later, Chu Feixiong returned to normal .

“This is a very common sight of new heroic spirit users losing control when their vitality magnetic fields and their heroic spirits’ magnetic fields interfere with each other,” Chu Feixiong said gloomily .

“But when other heroic spirit users lose control, they display beautiful and powerful skills in spite of themselves or execute the signature moves of their heroic spirits . When others see them, they know that they’re a successor, right?

“As for me, I salute, stand at attention, or march in goose steps, and I can’t control myself! When I march, I even march with the same arm and leg! Oh God, why? Can you imagine a heroic spirit marching with the same arm and leg?”

Meng Chao imagined it, and he could not help but snicker .

Chu Feixiong glared at him fiercely .

“I’m sorry, my mistake . ” Meng Chao raised his arms in surrender . “But look at the brighter side . We’re all in the same boat now . I’m a broken-star superhuman, so I have my difficulties too, right?”

“Bah, no matter how few main meridians a broken-star superhuman has, at the very least, they can execute a few skills . Didn’t you also get Principal Sun’s Demon Subduing Pole and even upgraded it to the powerful Demon Subduing Slash?” Chu Feixiong said gloomily .

“At least, you have one skill . I might be a superhuman, but I have nothing . I’m a blank piece of paper . The strongest skill I have is the Army Fist . I can use it to fight against normal monsters, but how am I supposed to use it against Nightmarish Beasts, Hell Beasts, or Apocalyptic Beasts?”

The Army Fist was similar to the One Hundred Saber Techniques . It was a basic skill everyone could learn, and many high schools set up extra-curricular classes to teach the Army Fist . Obviously then, it was not a killing move with great power .

Meng Chao thought about it . “Since you’ve already cleared some spirit meridians, you can practice other skills . No one said that you can’t practice martial arts just because you became a heroic spirit user, right?”

Chu Feixiong’s expression turned even more bitter . “Yeah . Usually, a heroic spirit won’t interfere with the heroic spirit user practising other skills . Instead, they’d help to a certain degree and fuse the skills they had while they were alive to blend with the heroic spirit user’s new technique . Once the fusion is complete, they can execute the moves with greater power .

“But remember what sort of person my heroic spirit is . He’s Stupid Xu, famous for being stubborn and obstinate . He believes that the Army Fist is the strongest martial art in the world, and if you mastered the Army Fist, it’d be even better than any amazing skill that can destroy the world .

“This is a belief carved into his soul, and after he bound himself to me once he turned into a heroic spirit, he carved that belief into my mind, as if he left a spirit mark in my brain .

“My current self logically knows that the Army Fist is just a technique taught to grassroots soldiers . It’s the most normal and basic martial art, and no matter how much I practice it, I won’t become invincible . In fact, it won’t even be enough for me to reach the ranks of third-class fighters, but whenever I want to practice other martial arts, my heart resists it fiercely, and as I practice, at some point in time, I shift back to practising the Army Fist!”

“How can this be?” Meng Chao was dumbfounded .

“I spoke a few times to Xu Wanshan’s former squad leader, and I learned that Xu Wanshan was really stupid in the past . Forget about any sort of amazing skill, even if it were just an intermediate martial art that was slightly harder to learn or some fusion fighting skill that combined the use of cold weapons or firearms, he just could not learn it . Only his Army Fist was pretty good,” Chu Feixiong said .

“The former squad leader could not bear watching him fail multiple times but keep gritting his teeth to continue persevering only to continue failing, so he lied and said that there was no martial art in the world that could be considered the strongest in the world . The strongest person could make even the most normal martial art, like the Army Fist, deliver destructive force once they mastered it .

“It could even become a divine art that can uproot mountains, and with Xu Wanshan’s potential, he was most suited to practice the Army Fist . As long as he could persevere, sooner or later, he would definitely make the Army Fist shine with glory and make it an invincible martial art .

“The former squad leader was kind . He didn’t want Xu Wanshan to continue experiencing pointless failures, and Xu Wanshan looked as if he had understood the truth of martial arts . From then on, he continued to practice the Army Fist even harder, and he was very happy doing it, but that’s a problem for me! I inherited his will and determination! I don’t want to practice the Army Fist! I won’t become a general if I just practice the Army Fist!”

Meng Chao scratched his head . “When you put it that way, it does seem like a huge trouble . ”

“It’s a major problem!” Chu Feixiong slapped his thigh and said, “Having this heroic spirit is even worse than not having any heroic spirit . When I didn’t have a heroic spirit, I could at least imagine myself getting some powerful heroic spirit’s favor and resonating with the mind of a Deity Realm elite . Then, I could easily inherit a divine art and command an army . I could march boldly in war and become a brave soldier of the Red Dragon Army!

“But when you resonate with a heroic spirit, it means that your soul is bound to them . Under normal circumstances, it’s impossible to get bound to another heroic spirit . It’s also impossible to kick aside a heroic spirit just because it’s too weak and look for a new one .

“But my heroic spirit is not just weak, it won’t even let me learn other martial arts aside from the Army Fist!

“Honestly speaking, even though I have the dream of becoming a mighty general, I know that it’s not good for me to reach for something beyond my grasp . I have to be down-to-earth . Even if I can’t become a general, I should be content with second best and become an ace soldier . It’s something I could somewhat accept .

“I wouldn’t mind becoming an ace soldier who can pretend to be a normal bodyguard after retiring from the army and mingle around beautiful socialites . I could even use my strength for things that I shouldn’t, like reaching out to beat up the rich men’s sons . That sort of life would be pretty good too .

“But now that I’ve been bound to Stupid Soldier Xu Wanshan, I can’t even think about becoming a general or an ace soldier! I’m going to stay as a normal foot soldier for the rest of my life!”

Meng Chao did not know how to comfort his best friend .

In his previous life, Chu Feixiong did not manage to make it into the military school and sacrificed his life quietly during the Monster War as a normal soldier .

In this life, even when he managed to get into the strongest undergraduate course in the military school with Meng Chao’s help, after all the twists and turns, was he still going to end up as a foot soldier?

Was this fate?

“It’s all Shao Jianqing’s fault! That harsh, mean, ruthless, and wicked woman!” The more Chu Feixiong spoke, the angrier he became . He punched the table fiercely . “If it weren’t for the bet with her, I wouldn’t have run a one hundred-kilometer obstacle course with a three hundred-kilogram load in the field, and I wouldn’t have resonated with Stupid Soldier Xu Wanshan . I wouldn’t be bound by this weak and stubborn heroic spirit, and now, my dream wouldn’t be completely ruined .

“Shao Jianqing, because of this, we’re mortal enemies . Just you wait, don’t let me find a chance to get back at you, or forget about Thunder God Shao Zhengyang, not even God himself will be able to save you . Hehehehe…”

When Meng Chao saw the savage grin on his best friend’s face, he quietly raised his hand . “One question . Does that Shao Jianqing you’re talking about has fair skin, a wicked figure, an oval face, looks rather coquettish, but has large, lively eyes resembling a tiger’s, which shreds all that coquettish air and makes her look so heroic and aggressive that no one would dare to look her in the face? Is that about it?”

“Huh, how did you know?” Chu Feixiong asked in shock .

“I saw her,” Meng Chao said .

“When did you see her? Where?” Chu Feixiong was curious .

“Now, behind you . ”
