Chapter 1270 Chang Jie
"Pardon?" Zhang Mengyao blinked her eyes. She knew that Tang Shaoyang would do something crazy upon his return, but forming a small squad to attack the World Government's force was just too much even for him, "Are you planning to attack their force in Europe with just three people?" She had not touched the vial on the table yet.
Tang Shaoyang nodded, "What's the problem? I thought they only had Legend Rank?"
"Yu Shun is just recently ranked up to Ancient Rank, and you…." Zhang Mengyao trailed off as she realized that she did not know Tang Shaoyang's rank, "What's your rank?"
"I am Legend Rank," Tang Shaoyang cracked into a smile, "The plan is simple. Before the God Rank arrived on Earth. We need to wipe out their force, so I can focus on the God Rank without worrying about you guys. We need to reduce their numbers as much as possible while they are waiting for their God Ranks. I will attack the force in Europe. When they lose many people, they will send reinforcements, reducing their number in Nepal and Burma's border. Then it's the time for you to launch the attack on these two territories."
"Yu Shun might be just Ancient Rank, but if he had Myth or even Primordial Rank Zombie, he would be stronger than most people in the same rank. And I want someone loyal and high potential to receive this," Tang Shaoyang tapped the vial once more against the table, pulling her attention to the vial.
Zhang Mengyao was curious about the vial and took the vial. The frown turned into a surprise as she immediately turned toward Tang Shaoyang once more. This was the most valuable item the Tang Empire had right now for sure, a dragon bloodline, "You want to give this to someone else? Don't you want to save it?"
"We are in a war, and we need to use anything we have to end this war. I need someone who is loyal to us. Unless you want to change your Vampire bloodline. You can take it if you want to change your bloodline," Tang Shaoyang explained. There was no reason for him to save it when they might lose the war. If they lost the war, then saving the bloodline was pointless.
Zhang Mengyao was tempted to take the bloodline. She had witnessed how strong Tang Shaoyang was with his dragon bloodline. However, she was reluctant to do so because she liked her current bloodline. She planned to upgrade the bloodline when she reached the Legend Rank or Demi-God Rank. She put the vial back on the table and shook her head, "Nah, let's someone else take it. I intend to upgrade my bloodline once I reach Legend Rank."
"Do you have someone in mind suitable for the bloodline? Someone with potential and loyalty to the empire preferably," At this point, Zhang Mengyao knew more about the empire than him. Giving the bloodline to someone who was already strong was kinda of wasted.
She furrowed her brow for a moment, thinking about the suitable person for the bloodline, "I actually have someone in mind. He just reached Epic Rank, and we don't need to doubt his loyalty. Do you remember Chang Jie?"
"Chang Jie?" Tang Shaoyang muttered in a low voice. The name was familiar, but he did not remember the face.
"Do you remember the young man saved by Gan Shuo with his life? Changxing Island's zombie incident," Zhang Mengyao added the details.
"Ah, him?" Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow, "Does he have the potential?"
"What potential are you talking about? Everyone could become strong with the System and proper support. There's no potential or talent with the System, everyone has the same start. He just recently finished the Trial of Epic and finished twenty-eight waves. That's a decent finish for someone with no bloodline and good talent. If you are talking about his resolve, then he got what you want. He took Artifact instead of the bloodline or second talent for the reward. He wants to maximize the trial's reward by taking the toughest route. We don't need to question his loyalty."
Chang Jie was the person who stayed in the village in Changxing Island, the island that got attacked by a high-ranking zombie which ended up almost wiping out the Expansion Team led by Gan Shuo. Captain Gan Shuo sacrificed his life to save the other members of his team and also Chang Jie. The young man knelt to Tang Shaoyang, begging to train him to be stronger in order to avenge Gan Shuo.
"What's his class? What about his talent rank? Has he taken the one million re-roll yet?" Tang Shaoyang needed to know the details before giving the bloodline. If Chang Jie only had Grade C or even D after using the reroll talent, then the bloodline would be wasted on Chang Jie. The class was much easier to fix, but if Chang Jie wanted to be a mage or Elementalist, the bloodline was not suitable for him. The bonus attributes from the dragon bloodline would be wasted on Chang Jie if that was the case.
"He has a normal class, Warrior. He hasn't used the re-roll for the talent, but because he has a decent B-Tier Talent, Courage. The talent gives a bonus to Strength and Vitality. He does not want to take the risk with the re-roll," Zhang Mengyao remembered the details about Chang Jie. She had been observing Chang Jie because she saw potential in the young man. With a little guidance and achievement, Chang Jie could easily get to Captain rank.
"Let's meet him first. I want him to be aware of the responsibility for taking the bloodline. Is he here?"
"He is not in the capital, but it's not hard for him to get back with the portal if you want to meet him. He has been following Pride after Zaneos entered the Dimensional Tower. I will call him right away," Zhang Mengyao asked Origin to summon Chang Jie back to the capital.
Chang Jie did not join the main army yet, but he followed Pride to take over the territories in Southeast Asia. He was currently in Malaysia with the expansion team under Pride.
summon a soldier without rank like him unless it was something serious. That was why he was so nervous, thinking if he made any *** ***
Chang Jie returned to the main base. He could not hide his emotion, how nervous he was after receiving the summon from Zhang Mengyao. It was a very rare occurrence for the Supreme General to summon a soldier without rank like him unless it was something serious. That was why he was so nervous, thinking if he made any mistakes.
"Calm down," Someone tapped his back, his best friend, Duan Ya. She was Chang Jie's childhood friend. Both rarely separated even in the army. She stuck to Chang Jie, protecting him from being taken advantage of by the others. This was the reason she followed him even though it was just Chang Jie who got summoned, "Maybe Supreme General Zhang just wants to talk about your promotion. It's about time for you to receive a promotion."
"Really? A promotion in the middle of war? Not likely," Chang Jie shook his head, following Origin's instruction to take the VIP's elevator. This was Chang Jie's first time to go above the fifteenth floor. Above the fifteenth floor was no longer a public area, but a private area for the high-ranking officials. He never stepped above the fifteenth floor even once.
Arriving at the 20th floor, he followed Origin's voice until he arrived in front of the door with a sign "Emperor Office,". He knocked on the door three times, and he heard a voice from inside, "Come in." He recognized the voice; it was Supreme General Zhang's voice.
Chang Jie opened the door and entered the room. He was about to close the door after Duan Ya entered the room, but his body and hand froze. He thought he would be meeting Supreme General Zhang, and he did not expect The Emperor to be inside with Supreme General Zhang. Even though he only met the Emperor once, he kept hearing people mention the Emperor in the Tarrior. He heard a lot of tales about the Emperor, the thing he remembered the most about was that the Emperor was the strongest individual in the Tang Empire; stronger than Marshal Alton and Legion Commander Moonsong, the two people with the highest rank in the Tang Empire.
"Who is she?" Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow at the sight of the girl and asked Zhang Mengyao. The girl had custom leather armor and a sword on her waist with her face covered in a mask. He only asked to meet Chang Jie, not the girl.
"She is Duan Ya, Chang Jie's childhood friend. Both are inseparable, no surprise she follows him here," Zhang Mengyao was not surprised as the rumor about both was known to all ranks.
"I greet Your Majesty," Duan Ya was more clear-headed and calm. She bowed toward Tang Shaoyang and greeted him. Chang Jie snapped out of his daze and followed Duan Ya, greeting Tang Shaoyang.
"Can you leave Chang Jie? We need to talk with him for a moment," Tang Shaoyang nodded at the greeting.
"May I know why I must leave?" Duan Ya did not just accept it as the order but asked the reason Tang Shaoyang wanted her to leave.
"Because I want to talk with Chang Jie, not you. You are not invited, so can you please leave?" Tang Shaoyang did not snap at Duan Yu even though she talked back. He was quite patient since Duan Ya was Chang Jie's childhood friend.
Chang Jie wanted to say something, but Duan Ya spoke first, "Chang Jie needs my help, and I am here to make sure he will not get tricked by your sweet promises."
