"What a powerful Metal Force." Shui Xiu was a little surprised by the energy bursting out of Tian Chen's body, but then it disappeared without a trace. She only said to Tian Chen lightly,"With your current strength, you still can't beat me."”
After saying that, he heard her say,"Water moistens heaven and earth, flowers in the fog."”
After Shui Xiu finished her sentence, Tian Chen, who was rushing toward Shui Xiu, was gradually surrounded by fog. Tian Chen could only see Shui Xiu's shadows all around him in the fog. He couldn't tell which was real and which was fake.
"Can you still see me? I'll give you ten minutes. If you can't break my spell in ten minutes, I'll start attacking.”Shui Xiu jumped onto a tree after saying that. She wanted to see how powerful Tian Chen was.
At first, Tian Chen wanted to rush out of the fog, but after running for a few minutes, he realized that he could not rush out of the fog no matter what. Tian Chen forced himself to calm down. He simply sat cross-legged on the spot, thinking about the five elements spells in his mind to see if there was any way to dispel this fog.
"According to the principle of the five elements, metal produces water. It seems that I can't use the power of metal. However, even though earth suppresses water, my power of earth has yet to transform. I can't use the power to resist this spell. What should I do?”
The more Tian Chen thought about it, the more anxious he became. Just when he could not think of any way, he suddenly had an idea."Right, since the five elements are mutually reinforcing, why don't I use the power of fire to increase the power of earth?”
Thinking of this, Tian Chen began to continuously input the Power of Fire into the Earth Spiritual Seed. After the Earth Spiritual Seed was stimulated by the power of fire, its energy increased greatly and finally reached a balance with Elegant Water's power.
Tian Chen shouted,"The world is covered in dust."”
Countless yellow sand appeared in the surroundings and revolved around Tian Chen. The yellow sand gradually absorbed all the water in the mist and fell to the ground. Shui Xiu looked at Tian Chen in surprise. She didn't expect Tian Chen to be able to use the power of both earth and metal attributes. This was a rare thing in her sect. This made Shui Xiu value Tian Chen even more.
Shui Xiu saw that Tian Chen was looking at her, so she jumped down from the tree and said,""I didn't expect you to be able to use the power of metal and earth. I underestimated you, but you still can't beat me. I still say the same thing. Come with me. I don't want to hurt you.”
"Miss, the surprise is yet to come.”As he spoke, he cast the simplest spell of the Metal Element, Golden Axe Metal Horse, and a horse with a metallic luster instantly rushed towards Elegant Water.
"Hmph, you want to defeat me with this kind of spell?”Shui Xiu said disdainfully.
"Of course, it's not just that. Now, I'll show you the benefits of having multiple types of five elements.”
As he spoke, Tian Chen cast the Earth Element spell," Bearing the Heavens and Earth ", on the horse. As the horse was infused with the Power of Earth, it suddenly expanded by two times. It charged at Graceful Water at an even faster speed.
Shui Xiu, who had many years of fighting experience, did not panic. She took out a transparent ribbon and threw it at the horse. The ribbon floated down on the horse's head, and then Shui Xiu recited the incantation to drive the magic treasure,""Icebound the world."
The ribbon emitted a strong light, forming a transparent cover around the horse. The horse was struggling at first, but it slowly stopped moving. It was completely frozen in an ice ball.
"Break!" The horse and the ice ball shattered into countless pieces and scattered on the ground.
Shui Xiu looked at Tian Chen provocatively and said,""It's impolite not to reciprocate. Please take my move, little brother.”
" Water moistens heaven and earth, ice rain " large pieces of ice fell from the sky. These ice pieces were very sharp. If one was not careful, they would be cut open.
Tian Chen was not in a hurry. He quickly made a few hand gestures and said,"" A Thousand Stripes of Vigor." The power of metal transformed into countless golden rays of light that rushed towards the ice that fell from the sky. With a rumbling sound, the ice and the light perished together.
Seeing that their spells were equally matched, Shui Xiu and Tian Chen gave up on attacking with spells at the same time. They each condensed a sword in their hands and began to compete in martial arts.
Shui Xiu was indeed the eldest disciple of the Water Sect. Every move was full of beauty. Although the sword moves seemed gentle and powerless, every move that attacked Tian Chen was so tricky. Looking at Tian Chen again, the sword condensed from the power of metal was shining with golden light, and the sword reflected boundless sharpness. However, Tian Chen hadn't practiced any formal sword techniques before. He had to rely on his innate senses to block Shui Xiu's attacks one by one. More and more wounds appeared on his body.
Tian Chen knew that if this continued, he would lose to Shui Xiu. He had to think of a way to stop Shui Xiu's movements.
After exchanging a few more moves with Shui Xiu, Tian Chen finally thought of a solution. He took advantage of the opportunity when Graceful Water attacked again and threw the sword in his hand at her. The sword turned into four sharp throwing knives as it flew toward Graceful Water.
Shui Xiu didn't even slow down. She used her sword to send the four swords flying. She walked to Tian Chen and said,""Do you think you can defeat me with this method? Now that you don't even have a sword in your hand, you still don't want to admit defeat.”
Tian Chen was leaning against a tree and said to Shui Xiu with a smile,""Throwing away the sword doesn't mean I've lost. However, if he couldn't move, would he lose? Look at your feet."
Shui Xiu heard Tian Chen's words and looked down. A ball of water surrounded her feet and gradually froze them.
"I didn't expect you to be able to use the Power of Water. This is something that only happens once in a thousand years. If you were in our Five Elements Union, it would definitely cause the five great sects to go crazy for you. However, you think that freezing my feet with the power of water in front of me, a pure user of the power of water, is a little like showing off your skills in front of an expert.”As she spoke, the ice beneath her feet melted at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"That's right, I don't expect this bit of water power to be able to restrain you. My trump card is here. Earth Vines!"
It turned out that Tian Chen had used the throwing knife to distract Shui Xiu, and then used the power of water to freeze Shui Xiu's feet. These steps were all to distract Elegant Water. The real killer move was the Earth Vine. According to the principle of the five elements restraining each other, it was impossible for Elegant Water to undo the Earth Vine so quickly.
Shui Xiu didn't expect Tian Chen to be so cunning. The ice under her feet had not completely melted yet, so she could only struggle a few times before being wrapped tightly by the vines.
Tian Chen condensed another sword and placed it on Shui Xiu's neck.""Who lost this time?"
Shui Xiu couldn't move now. She could only look at Tian Chen angrily and say,""You're so despicable."
"What despicable? This is what it means to be able to flexibly use the various powers of the five elements. Oh, right, people like you who only have the power of water won't be able to understand, hahaha!!!”
Shui Xiu almost fainted. The only thing she wanted to do now was to kill Tian Chen.
After laughing for a while, Tian Chen asked Shui Xiu,""What is your identity? How did you find me? How did you know about the pentagram?”
Shui Xiu remained silent to Tian Chen's question. She tilted her head and did not even look at Tian Chen, treating his words as if they were wind in one ear.
Seeing that Shui Xiu didn't say anything, Tian Chen knew that she wouldn't give in until he gave her a hard time. He deliberately circled around Shui Xiu and said,""You're not going to tell me, right? I never use violence against women, but I want to know about you. After thinking about it, this was the only way. If such a beautiful woman was photographed and spread on the Internet, what would happen?”
Shui Xiu's face turned red when she heard Tian Chen's words.""If you do this to me, I won't let you off. I'll definitely kill you!!!”
"Will you let me go now? If you don't say it, I'm going to start.”As he spoke, Tian Chen grabbed Shui Xiu's clothes.
Shui Xiu was ashamed and hateful. She struggled and shouted desperately. However, Tian Chen still took off Shui Xiu's first layer of clothing. Looking at Shui Xiu's fair skin, Tian Chen instantly lost his mind.
After a while, Tian Chen woke up. He said to Shui Xiu,"Are you still not going to tell me? Next time, I'll start with your underwear."”As he spoke, he really looked at Shui Xiu's lower body.
Shui Xiu couldn't hold on any longer. She blushed and told Tian Chen everything.
Tian Chen was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Shui Xiu to be working for the country. If I don't cooperate with the country, won't it be even more difficult for me to recover my memories?
After thinking for a long time, Tian Chen decided to cooperate with the country. After letting Shui Xiu go, Tian Chen told Shui Xiu that he was willing to cooperate with the country. However, Tian Chen didn't tell her his real identity. He only told Shui Xiu that he had accidentally entered a strange array and obtained power. He also told Shui Xiu that the strange energy that the dean had collected was revealed in the array. He didn't know how to do it at all. The three powers of the five elements that he was currently cultivating had some hidden dangers, so he still wanted to stay in the army for now. He wanted to train his body to be able to withstand these three powers before serving the country.
Although Shui Xiu hated Tian Chen for treating her like this, the country's affairs were more important than her personal affairs. After hearing Tian Chen's request, she said to Tian Chen angrily,""I won't let you off." He spread his wings and flew away.
Tian Chen shook his head as he watched Shui Xiu fly away."If you offend her, you'll definitely suffer in the future.”
After casting a spell to restore the ground that had been damaged during the fight, Tian Chen quietly returned to the division headquarters. Xu Sanduo woke up the next morning. Tian Chen didn't tell him about it. He only told him that Tian Chen had already dealt with the ghost that appeared last night. After Xu Sanduo heard this, he calmed down and continued to complete the demonstration task in the division headquarters. Tian Chen also continued to cultivate.
The Same Fate of Gang Qi Lian and Shi Jin

"Stand up." In a conference room that could accommodate dozens of people, the regiment commanders of the various regiments stood there nervously. They all knew that they would receive orders from the higher-ups to reduce their troops today, but they did not know which regiment would be cut.
An expressionless man walked in from the door. He saluted everyone and said,"I'm very grateful to everyone for their support in my work, which has made me more confident. Thank you, please sit. Everyone knows the topic of today's meeting, right? The reform is imperative. We've been changing, we've been touching our bones. From motorization to semi-mechanized, from semi-mechanized to mechanized. Now, it had gone from being mechanized to being information based. In just two short years, I think most of you here have experienced this process. Frankly speaking, it was not easy. However, the most difficult thing was to leave and stay. We sent away many glorious old troops. From an emotional point of view, we really can't bear to let them leave. However, from the perspective of the future development of the army, this must be done, Regiment Commander Wang.”
"Yes." When the regiment commander of Steel Seven Company heard his name being called, his heart skipped a beat. He knew that this time, his regiment would definitely be targeted.
"As long as it's not Steel Seven Company, I can give up any other company.”Commander Wang stood up as he thought about this.
"The general trend is that the division party committee has decided to use the 702nd regiment as a pilot unit.”
Commander Wang listened to his superior's words. Although he was very sad, the will of a soldier immediately cheered him up."It's my duty."
"If you have any difficulties, just say it."
"You've already mentioned the biggest difficulty.”
Just as the commander was asking Regiment Commander Wang to make a request, Gao Cheng of the Seventh Steel Company said the same thing to Shi Jin.
"Do you have any requests?" Although Gao Cheng didn't show any sadness on his face, his heart ached as if a piece of flesh had been cut out. The soldiers he had led for nine years were about to be discharged. Shi Jin had contributed his youth to the army. All Gao Cheng could do now was to try his best to make Shi Jin's life better after he was discharged.
"What? I don't have any requests." Shi Jin said with a smile.
"How can you not have any requests? You, tell me more, be specific. Your working relationship, your household registration. Now that you're back, you don't have to wear a military uniform anymore. You have to consider reality.”
"That's right, we have to consider reality.”
"Tell me."
"It's really nothing. Ah, I have a request."
"Speak."
"I keep saying that we're guarding the capital, but I've never seen what the capital looks like. For example, Tian 'anmen, Wangfujing, Xidan, and Roast Duck.”As he said this, Shi Jin seemed to feel embarrassed and laughed out loud.
Gao Cheng patted Shi Jin's shoulder and kicked him out as if he was angry. In fact, Gao Cheng knew that Shi Jin was hiding the pain in his heart. It was said that soldiers shed blood but not tears, but Gao Cheng's eyes unconsciously blurred as he looked at Shi Jin's back.

He turned around and saw that Commander Wang was already at the end of his speech. The officer told Regiment Commander Wang that the company that would be removed this time was Steel Seventh Company. When Commander Wang heard the news, he was stunned on the spot. This was the Seventh Steel Company, a company that had built up countless merit points. Why did the higher-ups decide to disband the Steel Seventh Company and not the other companies? Commander Wang did not understand this order.
"We are disbanding the Steel Seventh Company to improve the quality of the entire army. First, we will demobilize the soldiers with insufficient abilities in the Steel Seventh Company, and then put the soldiers with strong abilities in other companies to hold important positions. Even though this was very unreasonable, for the sake of the long-term plans of the army, for the grand goal of our army, we must do this.”
Commander Wang fell silent after hearing this. Although he was reluctant to disband Steel Seven Company, the duty of a soldier was to obey orders. Thinking of this, Commander Wang could only say to the officer with tears in his eyes,"I obey the orders of my superiors."
The officer also knew that it was very difficult for him to do so, so he walked up to him and said,"I know there are many difficulties in doing this. Can you overcome them?”
"I can overcome it."
"Alright."
"I hope that the 702nd Regiment will come up with a plan to reorganize the troops as soon as possible.”
"This plan isn't just for me alone, nor is it for a group of people. It's for an army, and I need time.”
After hearing Regiment Commander Wang's words, the officer was afraid that he would delay the plan of the higher-ups, so he said to everyone,"I would like to remind everyone, all the officers present, to have a sense of time. What we lack the most right now is time.”
Commander Wang knew that the officer was forcing him to make a statement. He thought for a moment and said to the officer,"One month. Give me one month."”
"It has to be specific to the individual." the officer reminded.
"Yes, it has to be specific to the individual."
Hearing Regiment Commander Wang's difficult words, the officer could only salute him to express his apology. At the same time, he also told Regiment Commander Wang that this was his duty as a soldier.
Just like that, the fate of Gang Qi Company was decided. However, Gao Cheng and Shi Jin, who were far away in the military camp, did not know about this painful news. However, even if they knew, it would be useless because they were currently experiencing a painful experience.
Gao Cheng arranged for a military vehicle to take Shi Jin to Wangfujing and Xidan for a walk at night. Then, he took Shi Jin to have a delicious meal at Quanjude.
Shi Jin didn't show any sadness during this process. He just looked at things he had never seen before with great interest.
The last stop was Tian 'an Gate. Gao Cheng asked the driver to walk around Tian' an Gate so that Shi Jin could have a good look at it. The car finally arrived at Tianamen. Gao Cheng asked the driver to drive slowly so that Shi Jin could see what Tianamen looked like.
Shi Jin looked at Tianamen through the window. He felt that Tianamen was so tall and magnificent, so bright. He really didn't want to leave the army. He still wanted to use his hands to protect the country.
Gao Cheng looked at Shi Jin's excited expression and took out two milk candies from his pocket. He stuffed one into Shi Jin's mouth and the other into his own.
Shi Jin looked at Gao Cheng and finally couldn't help but burst into tears. Gao Cheng didn't say anything. He just held Shi Jin tightly in his arms, letting Shi Jin's hot tears drip on their military uniforms. Just like that, the car drove all the way, and Shi Jin cried all the way until he returned to the military camp.
That night was destined to be a sleepless night for Gao Cheng, Shi Jin, and Commander Wang. Just as Shi Jin was crying, Commander Wang was using his laptop to draft a plan to reorganize the troops. Every stroke he made felt like a drop of blood was dripping from his heart. However, in order to complete the mission, he could only continue writing.
The next morning, Regiment Commander Wang was about to take a ride back to the camp. He suddenly saw Xu Sanduo standing at the door as if waiting for something. He pressed the horn and let Xu Sanduo come over.
Xu Sanduo walked up to Commander Wang and saluted him happily.""Hello, Guild Leader."
"Xu Sanduo, hahaha. You've only been teaching here for a month. I'm so annoyed by the phone calls praising you.”
Xu Sanduo was also smiling with the leader. The leader looked at the bag in Xu Sanduo's hand and asked,""What are you doing?"
"I'm fine here. I'm waiting for the car to go back.”
"But there's only a bus to Regiment 702 tomorrow.”
"I'll try my luck."
"You're quite lucky, kid. There's a car going to Regiment 702 today.”
"Where?" Xu Sanduo looked around. There was no other car except the regiment commander's car.
"Here." As he spoke, the regiment commander patted his car.
Xu Sanduo was overjoyed when he heard that the regiment commander wanted to give him a ride, but after thinking about it, he still refused the regiment commander's kindness.
The regiment commander saw that Xu Sanduo was worried that this was the regiment commander's car, so he advised Xu Sanduo,""Sigh, you might not be willing to waste a day here. Besides, you can still chat with me on the way, right? Let's go, get in the car."
Xu Sanduo got into the car under the persuasion of the regiment commander. This was the first time Xu Sanduo had sat in such a high-class car. From the moment he got in the car, he had not stopped looking around for a moment.
Seeing Xu Sanduo like this, the commander asked him to relax a little, then asked,""Xu Sanduo, are you still memorizing those technical materials?”
"I'm not going to."
"Why?"
"There are still many meaningful things to do.”
The regiment commander was very interested after hearing this. He smiled and asked Xu Sanduo,"Then tell me, what meaningful thing are you doing now?”
"It's that book. From our library's catalog, from A to Z. I just saw D. I don't have time to look at it."
"Hahaha, this is how you read books, from A to Z.”
"I'm just a stupid person. I don't know how to read, so I can only read one book at a time.”
"That's because you have to work hard."
"Yes."
"What do you think of Steel Seventh Company?”The regiment commander looked at the best soldiers of Steel Seven Company and couldn't help but probe Xu Sanduo about the disbandment of Steel Seven Company.
"I'm trying."
"Hey, I'm not asking about you personally, I'm asking about your impression of Gang Qi Lian.”
"Alright."
"How is it good?"
"Good, good means very good."
"If one day, Steel Seventh Company no longer exists, what would you do?”
"Why?"
"I'm just making an analogy."
"How could that be?"
"I was just joking with you. Let me tell you, I used to be like this too. In my heart, I was looking forward to the modification of the new main battle tank, but once it was really going to be modified, I was afraid. This was because the old tank had four members, while the new tank only had three. Do you know why I'm afraid?”
"Understood, because if there are three people, one has to leave.”
"Xu Sanduo, have you ever been separated from your comrades?”
"Separated."
"Can you hold on?"
"I can hold on. I've been separated from them for a month now. It's fine. I'll be able to see them soon when I go back.”
"Hahaha, you." The regiment commander was amused by Xu Sanduo's cheerfulness. Although he was still sad that Steel Seven Company was about to disband, he felt better after hearing Xu Sanduo's words.
Xu Sanduo followed the regiment commander's car and quickly returned to Steel Seven Company. He looked at the familiar door and thought that he could finally see his comrades again. Unfortunately, what Xu Sanduo didn't know was that Gao Cheng didn't want Xu Sanduo to be too sad when he returned to send Shi Jin away, so he hid the matter of Shi Jin's departure from Xu Sanduo. The day of Shi Jin's retirement was today.

I really don't know how to write this part of Shi Jin's story because I cry every time I watch a series. I think this scene can only be seen on TV to truly feel the deep camaraderie. The original intention of writing this novel was to make up for the regret of Shi Jin and Wu Liuyi leaving the army. Everyone, watch how I make Shi Jin stay in the army tomorrow.
