After handing it over to the system, the three brothers knelt down and begged for forgiveness

However, what made him feel extremely disappointed was that Nan Qiao seemed to be deliberately avoiding him and didn't even look at him.

Her eyes kept wandering over the other soldiers, as if Lan Jingcheng didn't exist at all.

Lan Jingcheng's face turned red, his eyes burning with anger. He gritted his teeth and unconsciously clenched his hands into fists. He felt that he had suffered great injustice!

He believed that Nan Qiao was deliberately targeting him!

Why? He possessed the three spiritual roots of earth, water, and fire, and was considered a leader among the many soldiers. How could she ignore him like this?

At this time, Lin Yue looked at the recorded list and gently reminded Nan Qiao: "Miss Nan Qiao, the number of people has reached 1,000."

Nan Qiao nodded slightly and said calmly, "Just right."

The faces of the soldiers who were not selected were full of regret, and their eyes revealed loss and unwillingness.

Nan Qiao turned around and was about to leave when Lan Jingcheng suddenly shouted angrily, "This is not fair!"

His voice was particularly abrupt in the quiet training ground.

Everyone looked at him in unison, their eyes filled with surprise and confusion.

Several leaders also looked at him in surprise. When Zhao Gang saw him, his eyes narrowed in displeasure. It was this brat again!

General Li next to him frowned slightly and asked seriously, "Why do you feel it's unfair? The people who were chosen were all approved by Miss Nan Qiao. She is an authority in this area."

Lan Jingcheng's face flushed crimson, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness, "Nan Qiao and I have a grudge against each other, she deliberately didn't want me to be chosen!"

His voice, filled with strong emotional fluctuations, echoed over the training ground.

As he spoke, he glared at Nan Qiao and loudly demanded, "Nan Qiao, you've hurt me like this, and you still want to cut off my last chance of escape? How can you be so heartless!"

His words were full of accusations and resentment, as if all the injustices he had suffered were deliberately inflicted by Nan Qiao.

Nan Qiao raised her eyebrows slightly, a cold look in her eyes. Her voice was low, but it carried clearly throughout the training grounds: "I don't think I've ever provoked you. First it was Lan Xuxue who started the trouble with me, and then you spread rumors about me online."

"You are being punished because of your own fault."

Zhao Gang snorted coldly, his eyes full of contempt, "Lan Jingcheng, you think too much of yourself and the Lan family's reputation!"

"With Miss Nan Qiao's status, if they wanted to target you, the Lan family would have fallen long ago." His voice was stern and cold, as if he was scolding a child who didn't know his place.

Colonel Zhang on the side also said disdainfully: "If Miss Nan Qiao wanted to target you, do you think you still have a chance to join the army? Are you still qualified to be selected here today?"

"Miss Nan Qiao can blacklist you and the Lan family with just one sentence!"

His words were full of sarcasm, making Lan Jingcheng's face turn even paler in an instant.

The others couldn't help but shake their heads. Someone whispered, "Miss Nan Qiao is too kind-hearted. If she makes a move, it will be a king bomb."

Lan Jingcheng stood there, his body trembling slightly, his heart filled with regret and fear.

Is Nan Qiao's status so high? He finally understood why Zhao Gang would do everything he could to protect her...

Nan Qiao raised her eyes slightly and looked at Lan Jingcheng with a cold gaze. "Today's selection was not intentionally targeting you."

"Most of the 1,000 people I selected have single spiritual roots or mutated single spiritual roots, and the worst have mutated dual spiritual roots. They are all extremely talented cultivators."

"But you have three spiritual roots, and they are mutually restraining. Your aptitude is too poor. Even if I want to choose you, I can't."

Her words were calm and objective, but like a sharp blade, they pierced Lan Jingcheng's heart.

There was no mercy in her eyes, only a statement of fact.

After hearing Nan Qiao's words, the soldiers around him all showed expressions of sudden enlightenment.

There was a hint of schadenfreude in their eyes as they looked at Lan Jingcheng, but at the same time they were glad that they did not question him out loud.

Several leaders also nodded slightly, expressing their approval of Nan Qiao's explanation.

Lan Jingcheng stood there, his face flushed, feeling ashamed and embarrassed.

He finally understood how ridiculous and stupid his anger and accusations were. He was so proud of the spiritual roots that he thought could enable him to turn the tables, but they turned out to be "very poor"!

Lan Jingcheng lowered his head, not daring to look at Nan Qiao and the others.

Nan Qiao and the other leaders no longer paid any attention to Lan Jingcheng and turned away.

Their figures gradually walked away, leaving Lan Jingcheng alone there, full of regret and loss.

After Nan Qiao went to the Ministry of National Defense to select another thousand people, everyone began to prepare for the next step.

After making some plans, they headed to Lingyu Mountain.

Lingyu Mountain is located in a remote area and is a place specially allocated by the country for them to practice.

In the deep mountains and old forests with no human habitation for hundreds of kilometers, the country has long ago carefully built a training base so that these selected talents can have a quiet and suitable training environment.

Nan Qiao will stay there for a month, guiding them in drawing qi into the body and practicing.

Nan Qiao followed the convoy slowly into Lingyu Mountain. When the mysterious training base came into view, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

This training base seems to have been moved directly from the world of immortal cultivation, full of ancient charm and flavor.

The tall vermilion gate is solemn and majestic, and the golden characters on the plaque above the gate are vigorous and powerful, as if containing endless mysterious power.

Walking into the base, you will see unique bamboo houses of all sizes scattered throughout the mountain.

The entire training base is filled with a strong atmosphere of immortal heroes, making people feel as if they are in a dreamlike world.

Nan Qiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the country has really put a lot of effort into cultivating talents in cultivating immortals.

Every blade of grass, every brick and tile here embodies the hard work and expectations of countless people.

After getting off the car, Colonel Zhang asked, "Miss Nan Qiao, what do you think of the construction of our training base?"

Nan Qiao nodded slightly, his eyes filled with admiration, and said, "Very good. The architecture here is ancient and charming, and it really has the charm of a sect in the world of immortal cultivation. It's obvious that the country has put a lot of thought into it."

She paused, then continued, "However, although this training base currently looks ethereal, it actually lacks a single trace of spiritual energy."

"But it doesn't matter. I brought back a lot of spiritual herbs and medicines. After planting them around, the spiritual energy of the training base will soon become rich."

There was a glint of confidence in Nan Qiao's eyes, as if he had already seen the scene of the future training base filled with abundant spiritual energy and everyone concentrating on training.

Colonel Zhang was delighted when he heard Nan Qiao's words. He quickly said, "That's great! With Miss Nan Qiao here, we'll have more confidence in cultivating talented cultivators."
