Chapter 1244: Chapter 1254: Is This Enough? Task completion? Strength? Tang Zhong heard this and didn’t want to say more! Who knew that Chen Mu saw Tang Zhong wasn’t saying anything at the moment and thought he was cowering, and immediately said, “Junior Brother Tang, this Inner Sect assessment requires real talents. Your current strength is insufficient. I’ve heard of your heroic deeds, but just based on those, entering the Inner Guards will still be challenging!” Liu Tiansheng also smiled and said, “Yes, Tang Zhong, everyone has seen your strength, but the higher-ups have stated that this time the task quantity must meet the standard, and the strength must reach Planet Level Fifth Rank!” “Task quantity? I think I’ve met the standard!” Tang Zhong said. “Met the standard?” Chen Mu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, “Junior Brother Tang, I’m afraid you misspoke!” Liu Tiansheng also said, “Tang Zhong, you shouldn’t joke about this!” It’s not that Liu Tiansheng didn’t believe Tang Zhong, but because he personally saw Tang Zhong enter the Galactic Guard just three months ago. The experiences during this time were witnessed, so there’s no way he could have completed so many tasks! “I really met the standard!” Tang Zhong continued. Chen Mu was convinced that Tang Zhong hadn’t completed the tasks, and directly said, “Junior Brother Tang, a person needs to place themselves in a suitable position!” The instructive tone in his words was exceptionally clear! ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel⸺fire.net How could Tang Zhong not hear it! “Then what do you think I should do now?” Tang Zhong asked. “Naturally, you should progress step by step. After all, you can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry!” Chen Mu advised again, “Your talent is good, destined to become strong in the future. Just focus on cultivating.” “Oh!” Tang Zhong smiled! “You should leave here!” Chen Mu continued. “Senior Brother, I don’t know what your status is to educate me ?” Tang Zhong asked. Upon hearing this, Chen Mu was furious. He already knew a genius from Earth Guard had come, and he wasn’t an easy character. Today it seemed this wasn’t an easy character. Young people need some discipline! He immediately said, “Then listen well, I’ve been with the Galactic Guard Earth Guard for ten years, my name is Chen Mu, and my cultivation level is Planet Level Sixth Rank. More importantly, I’ve completed almost 60 tasks in the Mission Hall over these ten years, understand?” Just as Chen Mu spoke, the other four attending the Inner Guard assessment looked over with admiring expressions, obviously envious of Chen Mu’s achievements! “Senior Brother Chen is indeed amazing!” “Exactly, I’ve been here for eleven years, and I’ve only completed over fifty tasks!” an older soldier said. Chen Mu heard this and proudly smiled, then looked at Tang Zhong. Tang Zhong, upon hearing this, directly laughed, “Over sixty tasks in more than ten years, that’s truly impressive!” “That’s right. When you reach my level, naturally you can participate in the Inner Guard assessment. You’re not qualified now, so go back!” Chen Mu said. He did this to give Tang Zhong a wake-up call. After all, seniors are seniors! Tang Zhong smiled and said, “When I said impressive, that’s impressive to you. To me, it’s just a drop in the ocean!” Hearing this, Chen Mu squinted his eyes immediately. A drop in the ocean? Saying this without shame, except for those true geniuses, his achievement was rare, yet it got called a drop in the ocean. How amusing! “Then what do you mean by impressive, Junior Brother Tang?” Having been lectured by a newcomer, Chen Mu couldn’t feel good. Before Tang Zhong could speak further, Chen Mu directly said, “I wonder how many tasks Junior Brother Tang completed in these three months, probably several dozen, right?” Then Chen Mu started checking the task system immediately. “I’ll check, so everyone can have a look!” Chen Mu secretly laughed, this Tang Zhong could really brag. If he found not a single task was completed, wouldn’t that be embarrassing? “Yes, we also want to see!” The other four were all on Chen Mu’s side. Liu Tiansheng wanted to stop them but reconsidered. He might as well see what Tang Zhong had been up to! One can check what tasks someone completed, of course, but no one usually bothers with it! Soon, Chen Mu swept a light screen in front of him, accessing the interface showing task completions by someone. Simply enter the name to be queried in the input box! He then input Tang Zhong’s name. The light screen immediately began retrieving information! Chen Mu looked back at Tang Zhong and said, “Junior Brother Tang, you should understand, I mean no other intention, just to see how many tasks you’ve completed. I know you surely didn’t meet the standard!” Words appeared on the light screen. It was Tang Zhong’s name, task completion quantity: 108, followed by specifics of the completed tasks! The others didn’t see much; it wasn’t useful. Only one person read it aloud: “Junior Brother Tang’s task completion quantity is…” The next second, the eyes of the person who saw it nearly popped out! They were so shocked they couldn’t speak. Chen Mu didn’t look; he listened. But why did that person stop halfway: “Continue reading, how many exactly?” He was waiting for the announcement to satisfy himself. He wanted Tang Zhong to know that despite his talent, in the face of seniors, he’d better humble himself. But Chen Mu found that person wasn’t speaking, and immediately laughed, “Is the task number too few? If it’s too few, don’t read. After all, Junior Brother Tang is just a newcomer, just arrived at Earth Guard. Making him complete so many tasks is indeed a huge challenge for him!” Then he turned back to see the large light screen, and the next second, his face turned extremely unsightly. He was smiling, but now his smile froze, replaced by deep shock! “This… how is this possible?” “Am I seeing things?” Someone rubbed their eyes several times, thinking they were mistaken, but no matter how they rubbed, the result stayed the same. By this time, almost everyone present saw Tang Zhong’s task completion quantity, and now they didn’t know what to say. Even Liu Tiansheng was speechless. He’d never thought such a soldier from Earth Guard could complete over 100 tasks. At this moment, Tang Zhong calmly smiled, “I think if I want to participate in the Inner Guard assessment, the task quantity should be sufficient by now, right?”
