**Chapter 1150: Military Compensation: Honorary Title**

Meng Gang's heart skipped a beat. He realized that today he had indeed encountered a tough opponent. Lin

Ordinary people, when faced with a military inspection, would be scared out of their wits and answer every question timidly.

But the person in front of him was clearly confronting him head-on, and every word was reasonable, leaving him with no room to refute.

At this point, Meng Gang could only grit his teeth and press on, "Do you think we would deceive you?"

Lin Moyu smiled, "Whether you would deceive or not, that's for you to answer."

Suddenly, Lin Moyu raised his voice, "You can also ask everyone here, has the military ever given you any explanation?"

As soon as he said this, the crowd erupted.

"No, not even an apology."

"How could there be any explanation? More like tape!"

"Hahaha, we wouldn't dare ask them for an explanation!"

"Yes, they must make it clear, don't be so vague."

Lin Moyu shrugged, "It seems everyone doesn't believe you."

Meng Gang's face turned extremely ugly. As a God King, sweat appeared on his forehead.

Even in the face of extreme heat, he wouldn't sweat.

But now...

Meng Gang felt he had found the wrong person. The young man in front of him was not an ordinary person at all.

His smile was like that of a devil.

Meng Gang turned his head and glared at his subordinate, as if to say, "Look at the trouble you've caused me."

Lin Moyu said, "Officer Meng, let's not waste everyone's time here. Wasting time is wasting life, and it might even cause someone to miss an opportunity."

Meng Gang said in a low voice, "Wait a moment."

Lin Moyu felt a wave of soul power. Meng Gang was clearly communicating with someone else.

Lin Moyu guessed that Meng Gang was probably consulting his superiors.

There were some things he likely didn't have the authority to decide.

"I hope they come up with something practical," Lin Moyu thought to himself.

His words were carefully crafted, forcing the military to give him adequate compensation. If they wanted to investigate him, he would cooperate.

But at the same time, the compensation must be substantial.

It had to be practical compensation, not just empty words.

If they said there would be an explanation but didn't provide one, that would be meaningless.

Under Lin Moyu's watchful gaze, Meng Gang finally received a response from his superiors.

Meng Gang said, "If you can prove your combat power, we will grant you an honorary title."

Hiss!

Gasps of surprise echoed around, and many people widened their eyes in disbelief.

Lin Moyu had seen the explanation of the honorary title in the records.

An honorary title is a special designation given by the military to non-military personnel.

With an honorary title, one doesn't need to join the military but can enjoy the same treatment and rights as regular soldiers. The rank is no longer just a rank.

One can be assigned a team, or even lead an army, just like an ordinary officer.

Moreover, the person remains a free individual. They can join organizations like the War God Hall without any impact.

Therefore, the military rarely grants honorary titles.

Over the years, very few people have received an honorary title.

Lin Moyu understood that the military had made a smart move.

If he were farming military merits, this compensation would be invalid, and he would still be affected.

If he could prove he had enough combat power, the military wouldn't lose anything by granting an honorary title.

After all, his combat power was evident, capable of fighting across realms.

Not just a peak True God fighting a God King, but a second-stage True God reversing the situation against a God King.

Such cross-realm combat ability defied common sense.

It had already surpassed the realm of genius. For someone like him, granting an honorary title wouldn't be a loss for the military.

Lin Moyu's thoughts raced, instantly understanding the military's upper echelons' intentions.

But the conditions offered by the military were already very good, and he could only accept them.

He did want the honorary title.

Maintaining his freedom while enjoying all the rights of a soldier was truly excellent!

Lin Moyu said, "I believe the military will keep its word."

"Alright, how should I prove it?"

Lin Moyu's attitude shifted, and he didn't make any more excessive demands.

He understood the principle of knowing when to stop.

Seeing Lin Moyu agree, Meng Gang breathed a sigh of relief, "Recently, a second-stage God King star beast arrived at Fortress No. 7. If you can kill it, it will be enough to prove your strength."

Lin Moyu nodded, "Alright."

Seeing Lin Moyu agree so readily, Meng Gang's heart skipped a beat again.

The more readily Lin Moyu agreed, the more Meng Gang felt that Lin Moyu truly had the strength.

But Meng Gang immediately added, "We will arrange for the military's combat arena. The arena has formations that will seal all items, tools, and treasures. You can only rely on your own spells."

Meng Gang's implication was that he feared Lin Moyu might not rely on his own strength but on some external force, which the military didn't need.

Lin Moyu nodded, "Understood."

A second-stage God King star beast was nothing to him.

"Then please follow me." Meng Gang led Lin Moyu away from the military merit office to the military combat arena.

In the fortress, there was a large area designated as the combat arena.

Its function was similar to the Human Emperor Arena, used to resolve conflicts between cultivators.

Sometimes, it also served other purposes.

For example, the military occasionally conducted exercises to showcase their combat power to cultivators.

Through this, the military also recruited fresh blood.

Lin Moyu arrived at the combat arena. Meng Gang had already informed the military's upper echelons, who had prepared the arena.

Meng Gang said, "The combat arena is ready. Once you enter, the battle will begin. Please be prepared."

"We will do our best to ensure your safety, but we can't guarantee it 100%. After all, accidents can happen during combat."

"Your opponent is a God King star beast named Prison Lion. It can temporarily unleash the combat power of a third-stage God King."

Meng Gang gave a final reminder.

Lin Moyu saw that the arena's formations were already activated.

The sky above the arena was filled with people.

The combat arena usually had spectators, and news of Lin Moyu's situation with the military had spread, attracting many onlookers.

Lin Moyu didn't mind and turned to Meng Gang, "Officer Meng, you don't usually check the Vermilion Bird Star Region rankings, do you?"

Meng Gang was slightly taken aback, then nodded, "Not often."

Lin Moyu said, "Then you can check the potential and combat power rankings. My name should soon appear on the combat power ranking."

After saying this, Lin Moyu flew into the arena.

Meng Gang was slightly stunned. He knew Lin Moyu's name from the battlefield token records.

As a military officer, he didn't pay much attention to the Vermilion Bird Star Region's potential and combat power rankings.

Those rankings were based on cultivation levels and had nothing to do with the military.

He opened the potential ranking and immediately saw the top name.

"Top: Lin Moyu!"

Meng Gang instinctively called out Lin Moyu's name, and even his God King body trembled slightly.

Those who made it onto the potential ranking were all prodigies.

Especially the top name.

Would such a person farm military merits?

What a joke.

Meng Gang realized he had made a mistake and glared at his subordinate.

The fifth-rank warrior who had reported Lin Moyu cowered, not daring to speak.
