The inner secrets were certainly not something that could be formed within a day . They were the fruits from the accumulation of countless generations of seniors . That was how the inner secrets came to be .
Behind the huge office desk sat an old man . Although his hair and mustache appeared white, his back was still as straight as a rod . On his shoulders shone three dazzling stars of a general, a federal general!
On the wall behind him hung a large painting . The painting depicted a man covered in golden armor from head to toe . The man wielded a huge sword, and three pairs of clean, white wings extended behind him . Every feather was drawn with absolute attention to detail, and they appeared real .
The man who sat behind the desk engaged in his tasks was the Southern Army Corps' army commander, the Holy Angel Clan's current clan elder . He held a high position and great powers in the entire Federation . He was the Holy Angel Douluo Yue Zhengen .
Yue Zhengen had controlled the Southern Army Corps for more than forty years . The Southern Army Corps was like a piece of iron . In a certain sense, it could be regarded as a special force among the federal armies .
The Southern Army Corps itself had the support of many great clans, be it in terms of manpower or financial resources . That was the reason the Southern Army Corps depended the least on the army among all the army corps . It was also difficult for the army to assign any personnel to the Southern Army Corps because they would face retaliation from the great southern clans .
In the whole of the Douluo Federation, the southern region adhered to tradition the most . In terms of technological advancement, they were not as advanced as the central region nor the western region . However, they were the strongest in financial power . In the federal parliament, the great southern clans and various political aristocratic families had more than one-fifth of the seats .
On the Federation's side, they had attempted to wrest control of the Southern Army Corps' more than once . However, they did not succeed because nobody dared to go against the southern conservative wing . They were a force to be reckoned with in the parliament . In other words, these great clans also needed the support of an army behind them .
That was the reason behind the Southern Army Corps' rich inner secrets . Even the army could not do anything about them .
The leader of the Southern Army Corps had always been someone from the Holy Angel Clan . The primary reason was because the Holy Angel Clan was the strongest among all the traditional clans . Almost every generation of the Holy Angel Clan produced a Hyper Douluo or even a higher-rank Douluo . A Hyper Douluo with the Holy Angel martial soul was more powerful than the ordinary Holy Angel Douluo . Furthermore, the Holy Angel Clan had produced a Limit Douluo before .
The other reason being the Holy Angel Clan's impartiality . They had always been fair and just to everyone . It was dictated by their martial soul . If they did not measure up, they would not be able to cultivate the Holy Angel martial soul to a higher level .
Over the four decades since Yue Zhengen gained control of the Southern Army Corps, he strived to build a strong army . He reduced the number of soldiers but greatly improved their individual strengths . The combat strength of the Southern Army Corps was formidable . They were well-equipped and were not inferior to the Central Army Corps which was under the Battle God Hall's jurisdiction .
However, these great southern clans were not an unruly bunch . With the existence of the Southern Army Corps, the disciples of these great clans would only enlist in the Southern Army Corps . They did not spread their influence to other places . It was how the balance was maintained between them and the parliament .
"Reporting!" came a loud voice from outside the door .
The edge of Yue Zhengen's lips twitched . He did not have to ask to know who it was . There was only one person who dared shout "reporting" with such a loud voice at his door .
"Come in . "
The door opened, and a majestic figure appeared in his office . This person walked with a majestic gait and reached Yue Zhengyu's desk in a few steps . He stood still and did a military salute .
"General!"
Yue Zhengen lifted his head and looked at the person before him . He could not help but flashed a helpless expression . The person was a senior colonel with two bars and four stars on his shoulders . He was more than two hundred and ten centimeters in height . His shoulders were extremely broad, and he resembled a mountain as he stood there .
His facial features were rough and wild but were resolute at the same time . There seemed to be flames dancing in his eyes . If ever there was an apt description, he would be considered savage .
At least, it was the case in the Southern Army Corps .
"Jinchi, has the competition ended? Are you in the finals?" asked Yue Zhengen . Regarding Sima Jinchi, Yue Zhengen was also at a loss . With Sima Jinchi's abilities, he was supposed to be a general long ago . However, this person was not made out to be an officer . He had undergone the most transfers in the Southern Army Corps . From his initial post as the commander of the Imperial Guard to the posts of instructing officer, division commander, and others, he seemed to shirk every given responsibility .
The reasons were simple . This person was a martial fanatic who knew not how to restrain himself . It was common for him to injure someone . As was the case, the high-ranking officials in the Southern Army Corps were mostly from the great southern clans . Hence, the reports against him were relentless .
Yue Zhengen admired his valor . No one knew the blame he had to shoulder for his sake .
After the Star Dou Battle Network simulation system was established, the ones who were most excited about it were none other than the warriors from the Southern Army Corps . Finally, there was a venue for the Gale Saber Demon to indulge his passion for battle . They could finally be free from his harassment .
As expected, Sima Jinchi had made his way to the semifinals in the competition . For a time, the Southern Army Corps cheered for him .
In truth, Sima Jinchi had contributed many merits to the army corps . However, his faults were more than his contributions . Under heavy opposition, he did not become a general . He ended up being a senior colonel, but he did not wield any influence at all .
"No, I lost," said Sima Jinchi .
Yue Zhengen's brows were raised . He could not help but show shock on his face, "You lost? Who beat you?"
Sima Jinchi found it difficult to hide his excitement . "It's Zhengyu's captain . General, I want to go look for him . I've finally found the person that I've been looking for all this time . The purpose of my visit today is to bid you farewell . "
"The person that you've been looking for? You're saying?" Yue Zhengen's eyes beamed, but he could barely hide the shock he felt inwardly .
Nobody knew Sima Jinchi as well as he did .
Sima Jinchi was already a rank-89 Soul Douluo . Besides, he had been at rank-89 for almost ten years now . He was thirty-nine years old today, but he already possessed the strength to become a Title Douluo when he was twenty-nine . With his natural talents, there was no reason why he was not already a Title Douluo .
Anyway, after his soul power was raised to rank-89, he made no further improvements . It was the reason Sima Jinchi cultivated and fought with a frenzy . He had hoped to find an opportunity to achieve a breakthrough in battle!
Unfortunately, things did not proceed as he had wished . Throughout the past decade, he was unable to find a breakthrough no matter how hard he worked . It was only after his Sabersoul was awakened that he experienced intriguing events in his spiritual world . These events seemed to be guiding him onward .
Yue Zhengen knew very well that Sima Jinchi's Dragon Slaying Saber martial soul was definitely not inferior to the Holy Angel martial soul in terms of its quality . Moreover, under the diligent cultivation of this martial fanatic, he even awakened his Sabersoul . Once he attained the rank of a Title Douluo, his strength would definitely improve by leaps and bounds . The possibilities for his future would be endless .
Currently, when Sima Jinchi said that he had found the person whom he had been looking for, it undoubtedly meant that he had discovered the way to achieve a breakthrough . How could this not make Yue Zhengen happy? Once he achieved a breakthrough, Sima Jinchi would most definitely be a peerless expert in the future!
"When are you leaving?" asked Yue Zhengen . He did not attempt to make Sima Jinchi stay . For one, he did not have such intentions in the first place . On the other hand, if this person had made up his mind, nobody could deter him from doing what he wanted to do .
"I'm leaving immediately . So, I've come to ask you . Where's he at? I'm sure you know, sir . " Sima Jinchi asked anxiously .
