BXBX NOVEL Chapter 351 General Xu, You Were Wrong
It assembled the elite forces from nearly one-third of the cosmic nations in the Taishi Starfield.
The exploration and colonization of the Ancient Battlefield Milky Way were not limited to the Azure Mountain Milky Way Army alone.
There were the Red River Milky Way Army, Queshan Milky Way Army, Daming Milky Way Army, Silver Lake Galaxy Milky Way Army, and many more...
Dozens of cosmic nations formed the Taishi Milky Way Army, led by the admiral of the military camp, commanding tribune from various cosmic nations, totaling over a million.
If the Netherblue Team, Azure Team, and Deep Blue Team, the three special forces, were considered the elite within the Azure Mountain Milky Way Army...
Then the Milky Way Ace Team gathered the best of the best from all Milky Way Armies!
"Why this sudden idea?" Ju Bairuo looked at Wang Ye.
"Because I meet the registration criteria," Wang Ye replied without hesitation.
Ju Bairuo was momentarily speechless.
The Milky Way Ace Team could only register if they secured the first position in a mission that involved over a hundred teams.
But what did that have to do with meeting the registration criteria?
He was also eligible to register!
"Not to mention whether one can pass the assessment, but the Milky Way Ace Team must explore the deepest regions, advance to the forefront, and face the highest level of crises in the Taishi Milky Way Army. It is the most challenging and carries an extremely high mortality rate."
"We're still relatively new," Orange White Glyph spoke seriously. "Our focus should be on accumulating experience and enhancing our strength. Is it wise to join the Milky Way Ace Team now?"
"Let me correct you, it's you, not me," Wang Ye stated. "I don't agree with being a leader without achieving great success. I won't settle for a lesser role."
"The environment, the presence of strong individuals around us, and the encountered threats are all on a completely different level."
"Remaining in the Xu Wolf Guard may offer a higher lower limit, but joining the Milky Way Ace Team undoubtedly raises the upper limit."
"For me, joining the Milky Way Ace Team is the optimal choice."
This decision was carefully considered.
Indeed, as Ju Bairuo had pointed out, the dangers faced by the Milky Way Ace Team were beyond imagination.
However, the potential achievements in battle credits far exceeded the risks.
Risk and reward were proportional.
Moreover, joining the Milky Way Ace Team meant obtaining firsthand information.
Furthermore, being among the first to reach the center of the Ancient Battlefield Milky Way!
Time was of the essence.
A delay might result in missed opportunities.
Whether it was the guidance provided by Xia Yu, the things left behind, the supreme treasure components in the center of the Milky Way, as mentioned by Senior Wu Yuan, or the treasures perceived through my bloodline while treasure hunting.
All of them required me to enter the depths of the Ancient Battlefield in the Milky Way in the shortest possible time and at the fastest speed.
Instead of wasting time here struggling with the demon race, it was essential to gain battlefield experience.
The military camp was a dream and a goal for Xia Yu.
For him, the military camp was a step and a catapult.
His aspirations lay elsewhere.
Staying in the Azure Mountain Milky Way Army, whether entering the Advisor Department or accumulating battle credits on the battlefield, would be too slow.
He needed to act swiftly!
Ju Bairuo fell into silence.
As someone from a prestigious background, he was accustomed to meticulous planning, step by step.
Wang Ye was correct. He had been too presumptuous and rigid in his thinking.
The notion of defeating the Azure Mountain Milky Way Army's special forces in his first major mission and claiming first place in both categories had made him somewhat arrogant, altering his mindset.
However, upon closer reflection, he realized that this achievement was not solely due to his abilities!
Without Wang Ye, how could he have amassed so many battle credits? How could he have become an ensign leading troops?
Sometimes, a more daring and adventurous approach might be warranted.
"Join the Silver Road Team? Silver Search Team?" Ju Bairuo murmured to himself.
Like the Azure Mountain Milky Way Army, the Milky Way Ace Team was also divided into three special forces, each with its responsibilities.
The Silver Road Team was responsible for scouting, the Silver Search Team for exploration, and the Silver Warband for combat.
The roles were clearly defined, all aimed at reaching the deepest parts of the Milky Way Ancient Battlefield.
"No, I plan to join the Silver Warband," Wang Ye declared.
Ju Bairuo was somewhat surprised. "Considering the tasks we've accomplished, joining the Silver Road Team or Silver Search Team could slightly reduce the difficulty. The previous large-scale missions didn't contribute any bonuses to the assessment of the Silver Warband."
"Exactly, what I want is to enter based on merit, without any unnecessary requirements," Wang Ye confidently stated.
The routes were previously planned by Ju Bairuo when exploring.
Finding the New Hetuo Planet was also a great injustice in guiding the way, driven by luck.
Even though the Silver Road Team and Silver Search Team had mission bonuses, their professional competence wasn't up to par!
On the contrary, the Silver Warband was indeed a measure of combat prowess, friendly to oneself.
"This is the spirit of the military camp!" Yan Sanqi's eyes flashed with admiration as she looked at Wang Ye. She praised, "Ju Bairuo, you don't understand. We, who come from a colony planet, possess an arrogance that fears no one, ready to confront any challenge head-on!"
"How crude..." Wang Ye silently complained.
"Can you fight head-on?" Wang Ye thought.
Ju Bairuo sighed lightly.
Challenge difficulties challenge personal limits!
Perhaps, this was where Wang Ye excelled over him.
Never settling, always greedy, always climbing higher.
"If that's the case, I'll also apply for the Milky Way Ace Team," Ju Bairuo resolved.
He also wanted to step out of his comfort zone and test his limits.
Most importantly, he didn't want to be outshone by Wang Ye.
"And count me in!" Yan Sanqi was full of enthusiasm. "At worst, I'll come back if I fail. I won't be content without trying."
"You want to be with Wang Ye, don't you?" Ju Bairuo thought and speculated.
Women will always be women.
Yan Sanqi had long been won over by Wang Ye and molded into his likeness.
Huh?
Ju Bairuo's heart suddenly tightened, his expression changing.
It seemed... he was the same.
...
The application was approved.
Joining the Milky Way Ace Team wasn't a complex process.
Anyone with the rank of ensign or higher, who had secured the first place in a large-scale mission, was eligible to register.
The Silver Road and Silver Search Teams required completion of an online test and meeting specific professional standards. Joining the Silver Warband was simpler.
They saw your strength and let you engage in direct combat!
After seeing off Lingling and Yu Min, who were headed to the Red River Cosmic Nation, Wang Ye returned to the camp.
As expected, Captain Brother Tu had been waiting for him.
"Have you made a decision?" Tu Youfang looked at Wang Ye.
"Yes," Wang Ye replied without much elaboration.
"Ambition is a good thing," Tu Youfang said to Wang Ye. "But in the military camp, the greater your ambition, the quicker you often fall. The Milky Way Ace Team is much more dangerous than you think, and the Silver Warband is the most perilous and fiercely competitive place."
"I know." Wang Ye nodded.
The Silver Warband gathered the most potent group of cosmic humans in the Milky Way Army.
"Commander Ke attempted to join the Silver Warband when he was at the ninth level of Dark Energy but failed," Tu Youfang revealed.
Ke Yuanzhen?
He had such a tragic past.
"And what about now?" Wang Ye inquired.
"His strength now is undoubtedly not an issue, but... he no longer wishes to go," Tu Youfang explained.
"Why?" Wang Ye was puzzled.
"Because the current captain of the Silver Warband, Azure Mountain Squad, is his sister, Ke Yuanqi," Tu Youfang explained.
"Does she also have a younger sister named Ke Senlin?" Wang Ye asked.
"What?" Tu Youfang was confused by his words.
"It's nothing," Wang Ye said, understanding the situation.
With the younger sister as the captain, he, as the older brother, could only take a back seat. Where else could he face...
It might be better to stay in the Deep Blue Team, inheriting the mantle of Senior General Ke.
Speaking of which, the daughter of Senior General Ke...
She should be just like Senior General Ke, sturdy and majestic, with well-developed chest muscles!

"Now that you've decided, as the captain, I'll respect your decision," Tu Youfang remarked. "But with your current combat prowess, only slightly stronger than Zhang Yi, you'll struggle to pass the assessment."
"Zhang Yi? Who's that?" Wang Ye recalled.
"Oh, right. When I first entered the military camp, that small fry," Wang Ye thought.
Brother Tu had aged.
This had happened ages ago.
Over 150 cosmic days had passed!
His strength had increased several times...
Indeed.
For Brother Tu, stuck in a cultivation bottleneck, 150 cosmic days passed in the blink of an eye.
"General Xu handed you over to me initially and asked me to teach you saber techniques. As your captain, I didn't have the time to properly instruct you before you embarked on a mission," Tu Youfang shared with Wang Ye. "While there's still time before you leave, let me impart some knowledge."
"What does real military camp saber technique look like?"
Wang Ye nodded. "Brother Tu, how does your strength compare to the Silver Warband assessment?"
Tu Youfang laughed heartily. "Your Brother Tu has been through a lot. I'm the captain of the third team of the Xu Wolf Guards, a second lieutenant. Though I may not surpass Commander Yu, comparing the Silver Warband assessment with mine is underestimating me!"
Wang Ye's eyes gleamed. "That's even better."
"Ambition! But, young man, don't overestimate yourself. You might end up at a disadvantage," Tu Youfang warned, squinting. Battle intent erupted, and the mystical engraving on his blade materialized. "Before you leave, let Brother Tu give you a good lesson!"
Boom! n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
...
"Thank you for the guidance, Brother Tu," Wang Ye said, bending over to sheathe his dual blades before leaving.
Tu Youfang was left stunned, his right hand holding the sharp blade trembling uncontrollably. His arm armor was damaged, and blood flowed steadily.
Although it was just a minor injury, the mental trauma was immense...
He had lost!
In a one-on-one battle, he was defeated by Wang Ye.
Saber techniques?
Not only was Wang Ye's saber technique not inferior, it was even superior!
He had mastered the essence, merging it seamlessly with his body. Combined with the Space-lock Battle Domain and Thunder Fusion Technique, he was practically invincible!
Even a Super Star Level cultivator wouldn't withstand such a terrifying power!
Too strong!
Compared to when he first entered the military camp, Wang Ye was like a different person.
"General Xu, you were wrong," Tu Youfang muttered.
It turned out Wang Ye's most outstanding quality wasn't his aptitude as a student of military strategy or mission execution, but rather...
Combat prowess!
He possessed unimaginable potential, quickly transforming into combat strength!
His progress was too rapid.
Even Ke Yuanqi, once a proud genius and now the captain of the Azure Mountain Squad, couldn't match Wang Ye.
He was right.
With such potential, staying in the Xu Wolf Guard was a waste.
The universe was his limit.
"Looks like I've aged." Tu Youfang sighed, a hint of age appearing on his forehead.
Aging wasn't just in the body but also in the heart.
He no longer had the unwavering willpower.
He lacked the fearless aura Wang Ye had when entering the military camp.
