Chapter 240 Name Change

to shreds with one claw, its tail whipping another lizard creature that had attempted to ambush it. With a roar, it continued to attack with its claws.Those shattered monsters hadn't escaped yet whe..."The First Military Academy of the United Empire is not only about mecha and ancient martial arts. There are also other majors, such as interstellar networks, security defense, and mecha design research. These are all good choices for previous students of Lian One who weren't exceptionally talented."

General Du explained in detail.

"The initiative is now on Lian Yi's side, but based on my understanding of Wu Yishan, he will definitely go over Lian Yi and directly give the recommendation quota to Wu Lianbo."

Du Zifeng said disdainfully.

"That's why I say this is a chance. I'll contact Wu Yishan myself and tell him that after consideration, we've decided to let Lian Yi enter the First Military Academy to study mecha design and development. It just so happens that your nephew can look after Lian Yi, and he'll have a good place to go after graduation. Do you think Wu Yishan will agree"

General Du, known for his shrewdness and deep calculations, spoke.

“He definitely wouldn’t agree. The recommendation quota in his hands is for that illegitimate son. We can use this as leverage, making him agree to change his surname. That way, the recommendation quota from the Du family will be used, and it won't hinder his beloved illegitimate son. He would definitely agree.”

Du Zi Feng replied with a sarcastic smile.

The ripples also understood and immediately nodded with a smile:

"Even my grandfather was thoughtful. Even if my talent was revealed later, he would have been speechless like someone eating bitter Chinese herb. "

As long as Wu Yishan can be tricked, Lian Yi would wholeheartedly approve.

After things were settled, Lian Ri started to peacefully focus on increasing his ancient martial arts level. Now that he had the blessing of Divine Sense, his cultivation of mental techniques was effortless. Coupled with the enhancement from body refinement techniques, his ancient martial arts level was steadily improving.

Liri's daily schedule was very regular, with six hours of sleep every day and the rest of the time spent training her body. But she still felt that it was too slow.

But in the eyes of the two elderly people, their grandson was already very studious, even a little too studious. The old lady could only go to Lian Yi to talk about it.

"Child, I know you don't want to lose to that illegitimate child, but you also need to take care of your own body. Sometimes haste makes waste. According to recent data, your progress in ancient martial arts is already very fast."

"Grandma, please rest assured. I know my own physical limits and wouldn't treat my body as a joke."

Ripples calmed immediately.

"Well then, you can have a day off today. Whether you want to sleep, eat delicious food, or play games, it's all up to you."

Okay, I'll listen to my grandmother.

Ripples smiled and agreed.

Then, under the old woman's watchful gaze, he left the training room and went to his own room, starting to tidy up the things in the space. These were all left by his mother.

She sorted everything into categories and then chose some ornaments to put in her room. Finally, ripples focused her gaze on the unfinished ornament shaped like a ink dragon.

Prior to this, this item couldn't be placed in the smart brain's built-in storage space. It was directly carried out of the box in a small container.

At this time, her divine sense was available, so she covered it on the unfinished ink dragon, wanting to see what it was. The next second, Lian Ri felt a strand of her divine sense being swallowed, and then her divine sense pierced through the entire unfinished ink dragon. She saw that in the place where it hadn't been carved, there was a black nucleus the size of a pigeon egg embedded within it.

"With a crash," the sculpture shattered, revealing the black orb within. It was now held in Ripple's hand.

Her divine sense probed into it, and to her astonishment, it revealed a space within. It wasn't a living space, but a place designed solely for storing the dead. It was filled with spirit stones, leaving her utterly amazed. She immediately contacted Stone Mortar.

"Nineteen, are you there"

"Here!"

This time the millstone responded very quickly because he's been online recently to monitor that system.

How could spirit stones appear here

"If there's ancient martial arts here, why couldn't there be spirit stones"

Shiju asked rhetorically, always feeling that when the tasker called his name, they were saying a number.

"You mean this place once went through a cultivation era, but later declined due to certain reasons. In pursuit of strength, you took a different path and began to walk the technological way."

The ripples reacted immediately.

"Yes, it's because of the depletion of spiritual power that they chose another path. The original body was indeed lucky. This space has a meridian of spiritual marrow, which allows you to raise your cultivation level to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage."

"It seems like all of those things should have been cheaper for that system!"

Ripples raised an eyebrow and asked.

“That’s not it at all! Wu Lianbo was a fool. The system gave him things that could be retrieved, and if he had used those spirit stones well, perhaps he could have turned the tables. Unfortunately, he picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelons, ultimately becoming a pawn for the system to enhance its power. The system devoured him first.”

The stone mill grumbled.

"Now all of this belongs to me."

Ripples said delightfully.

With the energy provided by Ling Stone, she could at least reach the Golden Core stage before entering the First Military Academy. In terms of ancient martial arts rankings here, that would be the seventh level. When she reaches the Nascent Soul stage, it would be the ninth level of ancient martial arts, and if she successfully achieves the Divine Transformation stage, she would become a Saint-level warrior.

Next, Lian Ri's cultivation ground was directly moved to the meditation chamber, and his cultivation level continued to climb. The spiritual energy accumulated in his dantian also grew increasingly abundant.

Three months later, General Du contacted Wu Yishan. After the video call connected, the old general spoke first:

"Lian Yi has been working very hard lately, consistently attending online courses. Last month, Zi Feng came back for a visit and had a conversation with Lian Yi. He thinks that given his current situation, he could choose to study mecha design and research. After graduation, with Zi Feng's support, entering the institute as a researcher would be a good option. What do you think"

Wu Yishan was taken aback, as if he had just remembered that he still had a son. He said casually:

"As long as it's something Lian likes, I'll definitely support it. Besides, with all of you taking care of me, I naturally feel at ease."

"That's good then, after all Lianyi is your son. Then use your recommendation quota to send Lianyi to the First Military Academy! Only after graduating from here can he smoothly enter the Military Academy."

This time Wu Yishan hesitated. He had never considered recommending Wu Lianyi, but General Du's words were reasonable. He wanted to refuse but couldn't find a valid excuse for the moment.

It was in this moment of hesitation that General Du, his face darkening with displeasure, spoke.

"Wu Yishan, don't you want to"

"Even if it's not Lianbo, one must enter the first military academy."

Wu Yishan saw the displeasure on General Du's face and could only awkwardly explain.

Remember, Lianbo is only with you by your side. Under the laws of the United Empire, he is not yet your son. Your nomination quota can only be used for direct relatives.

General Du laid out the facts directly.

"This was something I was originally going to discuss with Lian Yi. He could go to the Second Engineering Institute."

"Humph! You want to mistreat your own son so badly, I don't want my grandson to suffer. Since you've done such a terrible thing, I'll just grant your wish!"

You will have to send over a statement agreeing to Lian Yi's name change. He used my Du family's recommendation quota, hoping that your illegitimate child will not disappoint you for all your hard work.

After General Du finished speaking, he hung up the video call.accepted the other master's address, after all, her embroidery skills were there for all to see."Master Luo, please come in!"The young man went straight to the office with ripples.Upon entering the of...
