Chapter 871 - 459: Canglan Ghost, You’re About to Become a Knight, Aren’t You?
After discreetly taking down the Carmenians’ nuclear submarine, the Dragon Submarine No. 1 did not remain but continued its journey toward the coast of the Azik Alliance.
The captain, Major Ma, brought up another topic: "Major Zhuang, I heard you have awakened a second superpower trait?"
Zhuang Jun nodded slightly: "Yes."
He casually did a small demonstration, raising a finger, and a wisp of blue flame ignited at the tip.
Zhuang Jun explained: "This is considered a variant of the Supernatural Flame."
Major Ma watched with great envy: "Brother, your future is limitless!"
This wasn’t flattery, but a heartfelt compliment.
According to the Superpower Secret Scripture, awakening a second superpower trait before becoming a warrior almost ensures that one will awaken a second superpower after becoming a warrior.
And warriors with two superpowers, known as "Second Awakenings," have a probability of advancing to knight that’s at least twenty times higher than that of ordinary warriors.
It is precisely because of this that the Jiuzhou Legion values Zhuang Jun so highly.
As for the so-called "variant flame," it is a flame with special effects. Its power is not necessarily greater, but it always possesses amazing effects.
Zhuang Jun suddenly became emotional: "The first superpower I awakened is called ’Secret Listening,’ which belongs to the auditory superpowered perception.
"Among many superpowers, Secret Listening is considered very inconspicuous. Not to mention combat-focused powers, even compared to many auxiliary superpowers, Secret Listening is one of the weaker kinds.
"After I initially underwent the superpower test, the Jiuzhou Legion directly told me to return to school and focus on my studies.
"This was certainly well-intentioned, hoping I would complete my education first, but on the other hand, it also indicated that the Jiuzhou Legion did not value Secret Listening.
"Once I realized this, I actually gave up on the idea of achieving something in the supernatural domain and just wanted to get by and earn a living.
"If Mr. Ghost hadn’t had the insight to see my potential and help me recognize it, I would most likely have been just a weak superpower user waiting to die, never awakening a second superpower trait."
Zhuang Jun paused and sincerely said: "Meeting Mr. Ghost was the greatest fortune of my life."
Major Ma was hearing about this for the first time and was quite moved.
The captain recalled an old saying and couldn’t help but say: "There are often thousand-mile horses, but Bole is not often available; I never expected to encounter a living example today."
Zhuang Jun deeply agreed: "Superpowers are closely linked to self-perception. A Bole like Mr. Ghost is undoubtedly the most valuable asset of Great Xia."
He immediately recounted an interesting fact: "Many people always call us Ghost Disciples, but in reality, I’ve only met Mr. Ghost once."
Major Ma smiled and said: "Brother, the purpose of Great Xia’s calling you Ghost Disciples is to hope one day you will become towering pillars like Mr. Ghost, supporting a piece of the sky for Great Xia in the Primordial World."
Zhuang Jun spoke with vigor: "Mr. Ghost is our role model. Wherever there is danger, there you will find the presence of Mr. Ghost, which is why I actively volunteered to come to the Azik Alliance to fight the demons."
Major Ma immediately raised a thumb: "Brother, you’re doing great!"
The so-called "demons," essentially refer to the Divine Mountain.
In the Carmenia Army’s invasion of the Azik Alliance, the Divine Mountain played the role of a vanguard.
The day before the battle started, the Divine Mountain used a decapitation strategy, sending out a large number of superpower users and modified weapons to eliminate many high-ranking officials and senior officers of the Azik Alliance.
Were it not for Yang Fan leading a group of Great Xia Superpower Users into the Azik Alliance to stabilize the situation in time, this country would not have been able to mount a decent resistance.
Because the battles in the supernatural domain have been very intense, there is an urgent need for superpower users, giving Zhuang Jun the opportunity to come over.

An hour passed quickly.
Zhuang Jun’s feet stepped onto the land, meeting with his team members.
He had been appointed as the team leader and had five superpower users under his command, making a six-member team.
Due to the nature of superpower user battles, which fall under the category of special operations, they usually take on the form of team engagements.
Besides Zhuang Jun, the team had one Great Xia superpower user, two Pioneer Alliance superpower users, and two Azik superpower users.
Great Xia is the "Alliance Hierarch" of the Pioneer Alliance, and even the hierarch has personally stepped in, so naturally, the followers are willing to contribute both effort and resources.
Zhuang Jun glanced around and immediately noticed a hint of doubt in the eyes of the four foreign superpower users.
This was not surprising.
He was only 20 years old this year, and he looked very young, making it hard not to question his ability to be a competent team leader.
Especially here, on a dangerous battlefield, encountering a poorly commanding leader could cost the entire team their lives.
It was only because Zhuang Jun had the face of a Xia person, a face of nobility, that the four foreign superpower users dared only to mumble in their hearts.
Zhuang Jun straightforwardly introduced himself: "I am a Ghost Disciple!"
The four significant words, "Ghost Disciple," instantly dispelled most of the skepticism in the eyes of the four foreign superpower users.
The reason for the remaining doubt was because he looked so clean and fair, very much like a student.
However, what Zhuang Jun said was nothing student-like: "The demons are very rampant, and my purpose in applying to come here is to fiercely wipe out the demons."
He waved his hand with a decisive demeanor: "The mission has arrived, so let’s get moving now!"
Half an hour later.
Zhuang Jun, wearing the Tianfu Craft No. 3 Exoskeleton, stood inside a Canglan Eagle fully invisible helicopter, overlooking a small town several kilometers away.
