It was a message on an encrypted channel, from High Command.
"Martial Artist Xu, please report to Conference Room 7 in the military headquarters building at 1500 hours today."
There was no signature, but it had been sent with the highest level of clearance.

At 2:50 PM, Xu Wuyi walked into the military headquarters building.
The corridors were bustling with people. Many officers would stop in their tracks upon seeing him, either nodding in acknowledgment or casting looks of admiration.
News of his two major achievements—the battle in the Tianshui Star Realm and the cleanup mission in the X-24 Star Domain—had already spread. Within the military, Xu Wuyi was now a bona fide celebrity Martial Artist.
Conference Room 7 was on the top floor and required special clearance to enter.
After Xu Wuyi verified his identity, a metal door slid open soundlessly.
