Lin Chen, the newly appointed Vice Corps Commander, has taken up his post.

His main responsibility is the training of the various troops, and this task is not complicated—it's just about assessing combat power, identifying weaknesses, and providing guidance.

What's the most effective way to test?

Pull the teams out for a sparring match!

Lin Chen ordered Chen Shuihe to bring out the Third Squad and engage in real combat with other teams.

Yes, real combat, not a drill!

Although the Third Squad will surely hold back in the sparring, it's inevitable that other teams might have injured members, or even deaths.

After receiving the orders, Chen Shuihe promptly agreed, but then expressed concern: "These new recruits, although they are all powerhouses, are not yet skilled in battlefield formation. There might be casualties..."

Lin Chen decisively said: "Have they been taught everything they should be?"

Chen Shuihe promptly replied: "Of course, everything has been taught without any reservations."

Lin Chen then asked again: "Have they been given time to practice?"

Chen Shuihe responded: "Since the formation of these teams, with the exception of a few newly established ones, most have trained for a substantial amount of time."

Lin Chen firmly replied: "The teachings have been imparted, and training time has been provided. As long as they've seriously practiced their formations, even if they lose against you, they'll, at most, only be injured and not die. If there are deaths, it means they haven't properly practiced coordinating their formations. Such individuals, if they die, it's on them. It's better to die at the hands of our own through foolishness than to die on the battlefield due to stupidity, and risk dragging down their comrades!"

Chen Shuihe put his worries aside: "Yes, I understand."

Lin Chen said gravely: "The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war! Whoever thinks they can slack off just because they joined the First Corps is sorely mistaken. Training through combat as if it's real battle; those who perform well will be rewarded, while those who perform poorly or even stupidly will be expelled!"

"The First Corps is neither a place of comfort nor a retirement home. We will face the toughest battles and the most formidable opponents. The stricter we are with them now, the more of them will survive on the battlefield. Therefore, do not hesitate to be harsh on them. Beat them mercilessly, so they feel the pain and realize they are not as strong as they think. Only then will they train diligently and coordinate properly!"

The Third Squad began a series of rotational battles. Lin Chen attended every battle, reviewing and commenting on each one, rewarding outstanding soldiers and punishing many who performed poorly, and even discharging some.

The strength of the Third Squad thoroughly shattered the complacency of those who originally considered themselves superior.

All belonging to similar teams; why is the Third Squad's combat power so formidable?

They're not on the same level at all!

Once the Third Squad launched their assault, it was as if they merged into one, transforming into an indestructible sword that no divine spirit or ghost could withstand!

The whole Third Squad, consisting of thousands, acted as one on the battlefield, showcasing their immense strength.

Is this the power of a unified battle formation?

The strength of the Third Squad was not just due to their highly synergized formation, but also because it comprised top powerhouses from four major forces. How could their combat power be lacking?

Regardless, using the Third Squad to sharpen the others was the perfect decision.

The teams that were crushed by the Third Squad spent their following days engulfed in their team leader's raging reprimands, undergoing intense additional training, and their combat power increased significantly.

At the same time, a rumor began to circulate throughout the entire First Corps, and even spread quickly to the surrounding areas.

The newly appointed Vice Corps Commander of the First Corps, the hero returned from the Demon World, the benchmark of the War God Mansion—Lin Chen, it was said that his several fairy-like personal guards are all his wives, and among them are even two Quasi-Saints!

People were in awe, feeling that it was just too cool.

Quasi-Saints!

Each Quasi-Saint possessed an extraordinary status; to have a Quasi-Saint in a force meant the rise and rapid expansion of that power.

Lin Chen, a Daluo Immortal, actually had two Quasi-Saint wives!

The two Quasi-Saints shared one husband!

No, to be precise, it was the two of them and three other Daluo Female Immortals serving one husband!

Where was the dignity of a Quasi-Saint?

Flipping it around, Lin Chen was incredibly impressive; he achieved what every man dreamed of, no, not even daring to dream about marrying two Quasi-Saints and having them live in harmony!

Lin Chen was simply an idol for men!

Lin Chen returning from the Demon World was indeed something everyone admired, since it was unprecedented, but what truly made all men revere him was marrying several stunning Daluo Female Immortals, including two Quasi-Saints, while he himself was merely an Upper Grade Daluo Immortal.

A winner in life, indeed!

Lin Chen also heard the rumors and was rather speechless about them.

Yes, I married two Quasi-Saints, but when they were with me, they were not Quasi-Saints!

It's fair to say that because of me, they had the opportunity to grow and eventually became Quasi-Saints!

Don't you pay any attention to these facts at all?

But this was something Lin Chen couldn't explain; the more he explained, the guiltier he seemed, so let them say what they wanted, he didn't care.

Time passed, and in a blink, a year went by.

During this year, the First Corps didn't go to the battlefield; they were busy rebuilding and training. There weren't any large-scale conflicts at the front lines, although occasional skirmishes happened, both sides restrained themselves and didn't go all out.

It was uncertain whether the Immortal Emperor had given any instructions, but the War God Mansion's task over the past year was to maintain the current battle line, with no plan to counterattack the Demon Race.

The Demon Race's massive subsequent forces entered the Crimson Immortal Domain, occupying half the territory and even diverted quite some power to exert actual control in the occupied areas, blatantly plundering cultivation resources.

One day, while Lin Chen was on patrol, suddenly a figure in white came from afar, with just a flash, appearing above Lin Chen.

"Haha, Lin Chen, it's really you, you've got some tough luck..."

Lin Chen looked up and smiled.

Saint of Thieves, Sun Yixiao.

Lin Chen waved his hand and said with a laugh, "Senior, long time no see!"

Sun Yixiao appeared in front of Lin Chen, sizing him up and down, his gaze sweeping past Lin Chen's several trusted aides, especially lingering on Chu Jiaxue and Nalan Wushuang, his expression becoming quite peculiar.

"Now, kid, you're living large, causing a stir in the Demon World, and even made it back to the Immortal Realm, with two additional Quasi-Saints by your side..."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "As soon as I got back, I looked for the Senior, but I heard you were away on business, which I truly regretted. That task of yours sure took quite some time, huh!"

Sun Yixiao revealed a bitter smile and said, "I'm just happy to be back; if not for some good luck, I was nearly done for..."
