Zhou Chen finally understood why Smoggy looked at him with hostility. This guy must have liked Tina, so when he saw that Tina was attracted to him, he refused to admit defeat and wanted to attract Tina's attention.
Zhou Chen chuckled. Smogg looked to be around twenty years old, but his mind was not mature, which was why he would do such a thing. However, this also meant that Smogg was not a shrewd person.
"Don't call me mister. My name is Zhou Chen. I'm only a few years older than you. You can just call me by my name.”
Tina still asked in admiration,""Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen, you're not much older than us. Why are you so powerful?”
Smogg did not argue and looked at Zhou Chen curiously. He had just witnessed Zhou Chen's strength, so he also wanted to know why Zhou Chen was so powerful. After all, Zhou Chen looked about the same age as him.
"It's not as powerful as you say. I've wandered the sea for so many years to have my current strength. Your background is much better than mine, and your future achievements will definitely be very bright, so you don't have to envy me."”
In Zhou Chen's opinion, Smog and Tina would have good achievements in the future. The reason why they were so weak now was that they were all flowers in a greenhouse and had never ventured outside. Therefore, they were panicking when faced with such a situation and could not display much of their strength.
As the three of them spoke, Major General Sizeyas was cleaning up the ship. More than half of the navy personnel on the ship had died in this battle, but most of them were navy soldiers. Fresh graduates like Smoggy and Tina were protected by other navy soldiers, so the casualties were relatively low, but they still lost about one-third of their lives.
On the warship, every navy member looked dejected. After all, their comrades who had fought side by side a moment ago were now separated from each other. This was a huge blow to anyone, let alone these young people who had just graduated.
After more than an hour, the ship was finally cleaned up. However, due to the previous battle, many places had been destroyed. The corpses of the soldiers who had died in battle were also preserved. This was the difference between the navy and the pirates. As long as the conditions allowed, they would collect the corpses of their own people. Most pirates would not care about the corpses of their companions.
It was also at this moment that a warship much larger than this warship flew over from afar.
"They are our reinforcements."
Seeing the warships speeding over, Sizyas and the others immediately revealed happy and relaxed expressions. When they encountered the enemy previously, they had already sent out a distress signal. However, because they were too far away, they were unable to provide timely support. They only rushed over now.
The warship quickly arrived nearby. Then, the two warships joined together and a group of people boarded the warship. The leader was a tall old man. The old man walked like a dragon and tiger, and there was a shocking aura as he walked.
"Teacher Zefa."
Upon seeing this old man, all the navy soldiers on the warship rushed forward to welcome him. Smoggy and Tina even walked up to the old man and cried out in joy.
Sizyas walked up to Zefa with a nervous and guilty expression. He lowered his head and said,"Teacher Zefa, I'm sorry."
"Alright."
Zefa interrupted Sizyas 'guilt. He looked at the remaining people on the warship with an ugly expression. These were the students he had taught, the future of the navy. He did not expect to lose one-third of them in just one trial.
Zefa only took a glance before his gaze landed on Zhou Chen and strode to him.
"You were the one who saved my student?”
Zhou Chen already knew Zefa's identity. He was a big shot. He was a former admiral and the current chief instructor of the navy. He was one of the most experienced navies in the navy and had an extremely high status in the navy. Even the current three admirals were once his students.
However, although Zefa was famous, Zhou Chen was not afraid. He calmly nodded and said,"It's just on the way. I can't say I saved him."
Zefa said loudly," Saving is saving. I am Zefa. These are all my students. You saved my students, and this is a great favor. I am very grateful. Tell me, what do you want? I will try my best to satisfy you."”
Zhou Chen looked at Zefa in surprise. He did not expect Zefa to be so direct, but his reaction was also very fast.
"I'm afraid there's no one on the ocean who doesn't know of Senior Zefa's name, and I'm no exception.”
Although he knew it was a compliment, Zefa still felt comfortable after hearing it. He nodded and said in a gentle tone,"Repaying kindness is the way our navy does things. If you have any requests, feel free to ask.”
"In that case,"
"To be honest, I do have something to do, and it happens to be related to the navy headquarters.”
"Oh."
Zefa was also a little surprised, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He asked,"Tell me about it. This old man should have some face when it comes to matters related to the navy headquarters. Don't tell me you want to join our navy?”
The reason why he said this was because Zhou Chen was not famous on the sea. He was definitely a newcomer. It was really possible for such a person to join a large faction like the navy headquarters.
"Although it's not completely correct, it's actually about the same. I want to become the seventh martial sea.”
Zefa's expression changed when he heard that. He asked in surprise,"You want to become the Seventh Martial Sea? Do you know what this Sea of Seven Martial Arts represents?”
"Of course I know. This was jointly launched by the world government and the navy headquarters to suppress the flourishing pirate forces.”
Zefa did not expect Zhou Chen to expose him. He frowned and said,"Our navy headquarters is prepared to choose from the pirate forces in the Seven Martial Seas, but you don't seem to be a pirate, right? Instead of becoming a member of the Sea of Seven Martial Arts, you might as well join the navy. With my recommendation, I can guarantee that you won't start from the bottom and will definitely have a suitable position.”
