...

On the deserted island, Wang Shihao had long been waiting.

Seeing the impressive Yuan Water Azure Dragon in the sky from afar, he immediately flew over. At this moment, as Wang Shouzhe and the others got off the vehicle, he promptly greeted them, bowing to Wang Shouzhe.

"Grandfather."

"Ninth Uncle/Ninth Great Uncle/Ninth Great Great Uncle." Wang Anye, Wang Ningxi, and Wang Fugui also bowed when they saw him.

Although Wang Shihao spent most of his time floating at sea and rarely stayed at the Wang family's main residence, his son Wang Anru was close to them, spending time together often. Moreover, Wang Shihao was generous in nature; each time he returned from the sea, he would bring bags full of gifts for them.

Thus, they were quite close to this elder.

After exchanging greetings and pleasantries, everyone temporarily moved to the camp that Wang Shihao had set up.

Tea, snacks, and unique delicacies from the Tianji Continent's waters were already prepared within the camp. Once everyone sat down, Wang Shihao respectfully began to report the situation.

"Grandfather. This group of islands belongs to the nearby Hailong Gang's deserted islands, lacking resources, so usually only a few fishermen occasionally stop by. Now, we have spent money to buy them all."

"According to my initial exploration, although there are traces of ancient buildings nearby and remnants of the Changxing Memorial Stele, we have yet to find a precise space entrance. But rest assured, I have already allocated more personnel for a thorough search. We'll surely find it eventually."

"No need for such trouble." Wang Shouzhe waved his hand and said to Wang Anye, "Anye, I'll leave it to you next."

"Yes, great grandfather."

Following his orders, Wang Anye lightly brushed the Xirang Bracelet, and instantly, a green sapling taller than a person with slender branches and leaves appeared in the camp.

This sapling, naturally, was the Tree of Fortune "King Baofu."

Affectionately, it brushed against Wang Anye with its branches, acting coy, and "yee-ya-ya" indicating that its body was much better now and could become a Lifeline Spirit Tree.

"Alright, once we find the entrance to the Divine Martial Officer Training Academy this time, I'll make you my life-bound spirit plant." Wang Anye rubbed its tree branch and then took out an eight-sided die, "Let's throw it together."

"Yee-ya~"

King Baofu happily extended a branch to wrap around Wang Anye's hand, and together they tossed the eight-sided die.

The die landed, rolled twice, and then slowly stopped.

The upward-facing side showed "southeast."

"Let's go, southeast direction."

The Wang family members evidently were accustomed to this mode and promptly set out, heading southeast together.

After walking for a while, Wang Anye and King Baofu threw the die again, which this time showed a direction due east.

They continued this way, walking and stopping, and before half a day passed, the group found themselves circling a small area.

Clearly, this was the location of the space entrance to the Divine Martial Officer Training Academy.

This area was overgrown with weeds and covered in rugged stones, seemingly no different from its surroundings, with no visible sign of an entrance.

However, everyone was well-prepared, and thus remained calm.

Wang Shouzhe immediately brushed his Storage Ring and took out the recommendation letter acquired from the Divine Martial Fifth New Soldier Training Camp, as well as his identification token.

The so-called recommendation letter wasn't paper but rather a piece of token-like artifact, appearing jade-like.

Seemingly sensing something, the recommendation letter suddenly emitted a gentle glow, and there was a corresponding distortion in the surrounding space fluctuations.

"Buzz~"

With a low buzzing sound, a water-ripple-like space portal appeared before everyone.

At the same time.

A gentle female voice sounded: "Greetings new student, welcome to the Number Three Intermediate and Advanced Military Officer Training Academy. I am the academy artifact spirit, Ai Pan. Next, I will guide you through the enrollment process. Please hold the recommendation letter and step into the space gate..."

"Hello, artifact spirit Ai Pan." Wang Shouzhe didn't immediately step in, instead probing first, "Can I choose not to enter right now?"

"Do you have some preparation work yet to complete?" The voice of artifact spirit Ai Pan carried a tone of confusion, "Rest assured, our academy is well-stocked, and once you enroll, you can apply for leave based on your situation. You can handle matters later as needed."

"Enrollment equals admission, then may I ask, what are the graduation requirements?" Wang Shouzhe asked further.

"The standard training duration at the Intermediate and Advanced Military Officer Training Academy is one hundred years. After enrollment, within a hundred years, you can apply for a graduation exam at any time. If none is applied for after a hundred years, the academy will arrange a graduation exam accordingly. During this process, if a student advances to the Purple Abode Realm early, a graduation exam must be completed within a year of advancing to the Purple Abode Realm."

"Failure to pass the graduation exam after a hundred years will be seen as training inadequacy, and the student will be expelled. Passing the exam grants the rank of Quasi-Colonel in the Divine Martial Military, allowing eligibility to serve as a camp chief. Exceptionally outstanding graduates may be awarded the rank of Brigadier General, directly serving as vice legion commander." Artifact spirit Ai Pan continued introducing.

Indeed.

This point aligned with Wang Shouzhe's speculation regarding the Intermediate and Advanced Military Officer Training Academy.

"Artifact spirit Ai Pan, here's the situation." Having experience once before, Wang Shouzhe adeptly started persuading Ai Pan, "We were recommended from the New Soldier Training Camp, so we're not really familiar with the academy's rules. Is it the same as the training camp where excellent graduation exam performance brings additional rewards? And if one breaks a historical record, what rewards are given?"
