　　His battle was as revolutionary as Lin Zhan's in the original plot. After the a.s.sessment had ended, Sui Yuan's reputation rapidly rose to a whole new level.

　　At present, he was no longer the "lucky guy" who had been taken under the wing of Adonis and the military instructors. His own strength had also gained the approval of the vast majority of people.

　　At the training camp, it was those with great might who were given a voice. It didn't matter if this was a result of their own hard work or someone else's help. Although there were still quite a number of people who were still dissatisfied with Sui Yuan, they all tried to push down their discontent. They did not attempt to bring it up again. At the same time, their veneration and fantasies regarding General Adonis grew even more profound.

　　Aside from the change that had occured from the people within the training camp, the name "Zheng Yu" also gradually spread amongst the common people, who looked to him with antic.i.p.ation.

　　During his free time, Sui Yuan overheard many of Adonis' close subordinates teasingly mention Zheng Yu's name after work had finished. They congratulated Adonis on finding a successor so quickly.

　　Yes, to find a good successor, this was the real reason for why Adonis had been dispatched to the training camps during these peaceful times.

　　Adonis' strength was undeniable. Although he was still at the peak of his career as a soldier, there were still people who were worried that he would be incapacitated. They were even worried about what would happen after his death.

　　Adonis' name was already the glue that held the soldiers together and raised their spirits. The soldiers all firmly believed that as long as Adonis was there, victory was imminent. This was both a good and bad thing.

　　Adonis brought victory. As long as Adonis was leading them, the soldiers would excitedly muster up all of their courage and perform exceedingly well. However, no one wanted to imagine what would happen if Adonis was no longer with them.

　　War was ruthless. No one could predict who would survive—-It was only Adonis, who always stood at the front lines, who was special. He was always dancing on the line between life and death.

　　But, what if by chance Adonis met with some sort of mishap? If that pillar of support were to crumble, then would the soldiers still be able to attain victory? Just the thought of it made everyone feel as if they were facing the end of the world.

　　This was why just one Adonis wasn't sufficient. At the very least, the soldiers needed one other Adonis-like existence.

　　And so, the Marshal a.s.signed Adonis to the training camp, hoping that he would use his keen eyes to discover a successor to replace him. The military instructors were also aware of this, which was why they let him take Sui Yuan away. This was also why they gave Sui Yuan so much freedom, so as to avoid obstructing Adonis' training.

　　Previously, the instructors had thought that Adonis would observe for quite a while before deciding who he would want to cultivate. What they had never considered was that he would take a s.h.i.+ne to Sui Yuan who had displayed a mediocre performance.

　　Although they could not refute Adonis' decision,it had to be said that during that time, the instructors had felt disappointed. The genius that they desired was not Sui Yuan —- Sui Yuan was not an Alpha. Furthermore, he wasn't even as good as an average Beta.

　　However , the facts had proven that Adonis' decision are always correct.

　　Sui Yuan's shocking progress had been seen by the instructors. They then recorded it and relayed it back to the upper bra.s.s.

　　Everyone watched as he transformed from a bottom-ranking Beta into an existence that could stand above all Alphas in just the span of a few short weeks. Compared to Adonis, Sui Yuan stood out even more from the ma.s.ses. He had high apt.i.tude, and was also looked upon as a legendary figure.

　　Thinking back now, the instructors could not pinpoint just what it was about Sui Yuan that made him stick out from the rest. They could only chock it up to him being a magnetic force that drew fellow geniuses to one another. They could only sigh at how General Adonis' eye for people was so frighteningly accurate.

　　At present, Sui Yuan's rapid growth let a great number of people within the military division exhale a sigh of relief. Even though he was just a little trainee at the moment, everyone believed that with Adonis' tutelage, the day where he would show his brilliance was imminent. As such, the Marshal also warned Adonis to guide Sui Yuan well. He must do his best to ensure that this heaven-sent talent wouldn't suffer a premature death.

　　—–Although it was a bit of a shame that he wasn't an Alpha, but a Beta who wouldn't be affected by pheromones was much more stable. To some degree, they were even more suitable to be on a battlefield than Alphas.

　　Thus, Sui Yuan became Adonis' successor in an extremely messy way. He took the place of Lin Zhan who had held this position in the original plot—-After all, in the original plotline, it was because Lin Zhan had made a name for himself during the a.s.sessment that he had gotten noticed by Adonis and had become his successor.

　　Consequently, when Lin Zhan had been exposed as an Omega, even though Adonis had discovered this, he helped him conceal this fact. Not only was it because he had a favourable opinion of Lin Zhan, but also because he had never found a more suitable successor.

　　—-In fact, after this a.s.sessment, shouldn't Lin Zhan discover that he was actually an Omega?

　　Sui Yuan split his attention. On one side, he searched for all the important details for training. On the other, he observed 5237 who had kept silent this whole time. At the same time, he absent-mindedly thought about this matter.

　　Indeed, without 5237's constant reminders, he had practically forgotten all about the plot……

　　While Sui Yuan silently mocked himself, the communication device by his hand, rang. Sui Yuan swept a glance at the name and then picked up the call. His tone was lively, "Ah Zhan, it's so late. What's the matter?"

　　No sound came out from the other side of the communication device for a good while. There was only the sound of heavy breathing, indicating that the situation of the other party wasn't too good.

　　Indeed, speak of the devil and he shall appear. Sui Yuan's voice immediately became filled with worry, "Ah Zhan? Ah Zhan! Is everything okay?! What's happened?! ….Are you ok?!"

　　"Ah Yu……" Lin Zhan sounded like he was struggling, as if he was enduring something in silence, "I'm currently at the dorms……I……..I seem to have encountered a problem. Besides you, I couldn't find anyone else who could help me…"

　　"What's wrong! You're at the dorms? I'll come look for you right away!" Sui Yuan suddenly stood up and shouted.

　　"W-wait a minute. Don't come!" Lin Zhan refused him at once, "You…Do you know of any place near the dorms that would be empty? It'd be best if it was an airtight s.p.a.ce…"

　　"Close to the dorms…..empty?……airtight?…" Sui Yuan understood that this was not the time to insist on inquiring about what had happened. He muttered these few requirements on repeat a few times. Suddenly, it came to him, "There is one! There happens to be one! I have the keys to training room four. I had previously borrowed them from the General. Let's go there?"
