Cultivation Online novel Chapter 2620

Chapter 2620: Growing In Reputation

Unlike Yuan’s first squad, the soldiers from his second mission made no attempt to keep quiet about his capabilities.

As soon as they saw their friends, they began spreading word of everything that had happened, revealing that Yuan had practically cleared an entire tunnel by himself—including its Void Guardian.

Of course, few people believed such an outrageous rumor. In their eyes, no matter how talented Yuan was, he had only recently joined the military and had spent most of his time completing cleanup missions. There was simply no way someone so inexperienced could already clear an entire tunnel and defeat its Void Guardian all by himself.

"Come on, man. You’d have to be insane to believe such a fairytale. Even the Ironwoman had only managed to defeat a Void Guardian by herself a year ago, and she’d been in the military for over a decade!"

"I know very well what Corporal Yuan is capable of, considering I’ve accompanied him on a cleanup mission before. As much credit as I’m willing to give him, there’s no way he has already reached a level where he can defeat a Void Guardian by himself."

"Who the hell is spreading these rumors? If a mere Corporal can defeat a Void Guardian by himself, I can defeat the Void Hunter by myself!"

However, even though the majority of soldiers did not believe the rumors, a few did.

"Where’s Corporal Yuan?" Sergeant Bing asked Sergeant Quang.

"I haven’t heard from him since his first mission in the Red Zone."

"Don’t tell me that he already went on another mission?"

"It’s very likely..."

A little over a week later, Yuan returned from his third mission. Once again, his squad members eagerly spread word of his achievements among their friends.

"What’s with that disappointed look?" one of the soldiers asked after noticing his friend’s reaction to the story.

"Do you have any idea how many times I’ve heard that rumor? It’s been spreading for over a week now! At this point, there’s probably nobody who hasn’t heard it already, so you can stop exaggerating," the soldier’s friend said, explaining his frustration.

"What are you talking about?"

Having been away on a mission the entire time, the soldier had no idea about the rumor, nor the fact that Yuan joined their mission literally right after his last one.

"How could it have been circulating for a week when we literally just returned from the mission?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

The soldier then explained that he had just completed a mission with Yuan and that everything he had said had happened during that very mission—not the one everyone had been talking about for the past week.

"What?! Are you serious?!"

"You don’t believe me? You can ask the others!"

Thus, the rumor began spreading once more. This time, with a second squad corroborating the story, it became far more credible.

Shortly afterward, a third squad came forward and revealed that they had actually been the first to witness Yuan defeat a Void Guardian by himself.

"G-General! Have you heard of the rumors about Corporal Yuan yet?"
