“You can’t join the army.” Xu Zhongkai shook his head. “Soldiers need to be registered by going through the formal procedures. Also, you can’t enter when the quota is full. I can’t do anything about it.”
“I don’t want to join the army either…” Wang Ye thought.
The army spent a lot of time on special training, array formation rehearsals, battlefield drills, and actual combat sparring every day. How could he have time to cultivate?
He might as well join the Advisor Department.
“General Xu, I want to join your personal guard team, the Xu Wolf Guard.” Wang Ye’s gaze swept across the awe-inspiring personal guards in the tent.
In an instant, sharp gazes shot over, with a sense of hostility.
Joining the personal guards not only gave one high benefits but also a high status. One would have holidays and time to cultivate as well.
Furthermore, he could carry out more missions and obtain more information. Whether it was exploring the Milky Way or accumulating achievement points, it would be faster.
“Hahahaha!” Xu Zhongkai laughed out loud and looked at Wang Ye. “You can’t join the Xu Wolf Guard just because you want to. It’s useless for me to agree. You have to ask them if they agree!”
Swoosh!
In an instant, all the personal guards released their auras and were filled with killing intent.
It was as if he was on a battlefield, faced with weapons and steel horses.
Every personal guard was experienced and their hands were stained with the blood of demons and devils. Some had made great contributions to the army, and their positions were above that of a centurion. Some had outstanding combat prowess and stood out in the recruit training camp before being selected.
None of the Xu Wolf Guard were weak. The soldiers in the camp were elites who could easily kill cosmic-level humans, but the members of the Xu Wolf Guard were the elites in the military camp!
“The rules of the military camp are to see the real deal.” Wang Ye remained calm, fearless of the crowd’s pressure. “I’m willing to fight three rounds in a row. If I am lucky enough to win all of them, I hope General can make an exception and let me join.”
“Good, you have guts!” Xu Zhongkai looked straight at Wang Ye. “I’ll say this first. This is not a dojo. Actual combat is the priority in the military camp. Life and death are not a concern in a duel!”
“Of course.” Wang Ye smiled.
“Who is willing to fight?” Xu Zhongkai said loudly, his eyes sharp.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The personal guards of the Xu Wolf Guard showed their weapons without hesitation, expressing their attitude with their actions.
The tent was filled with a blood-boiling killing intent, and the air was scorching hot.
“I’ll give you a special treatment. Choose one yourself,” Xu Zhongkai raised his head and said to Wang Ye. “There’s no need for three rounds. As long as you can defeat any one of them and prove your strength, I’ll allow you to join the Xu
Wolf Guard!”
“Then let’s go with him.” Wang Ye pointed at Zhang Yi, who had just stepped out.
There was an uproar.
Zhang Yi furrowed his brows and looked at Wang Ye coldly.
“Think carefully.” Xu Zhongkai’s tiger eyes flashed. He reminded him, “Zhang Yi is a rising star among the Xu Wolf Guard. It is hard to find a match for him among the Dark Energy level. Few people below the captain level can defeat him.”
“Please,” Wang Ye said to Zhang Yi.
He couldn’t pick a weak one, but the strongest ones were not choices either.
He wouldn’t be confident if the other party was at the Super Star level, but he was sure if the opponent was at the Dark Energy level!
It was a good opportunity to understand his current strength level and his position in the military camp.
Zhang Yi glanced at General Xu. After getting his approval, he nodded.
“Go to the martial arts field!” Xu Zhongkai shouted.
The Xu Wolf Guard’s martial arts field.
The personal guards who were originally cultivating bowed when they saw General Xu. They curiously sized up Wang Ye, whom they had never met before, wondering what had happened.
“Disperse.” Xu Zhongkai roared.
The personal guards scattered and whispered to each other.
Only Wang Ye and Zhang Yi were left in the center of the huge martial arts field. Their auras were balanced, like a dragon and tiger fighting.
“Don’t underestimate the military camp!” Zhang Yi’s gaze was cold as he drew his saber.
With a roar, his battle domain was activated. Like a gust of strong wind, combat energy condensed and enveloped Wang Ye.
Wang Ye’s eyes lit up.
Good fellow! There were indeed crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the military camp.
A random personal guard of the Xu Wolf Guard could have a stage 5 battle domain?
This was much more powerful than the number one expert of a family that he had killed previously. The other party was at the Super Star level and had specialized in cultivating the path of the physical body, yet his battle domain was only stage 4. He had been crushed by his Space-lock Battle Domain.
Boom!
At the same time, Wang Ye released his Space-lock Battle Domain, a completely different type of battle domain. The Space-lock Saber was extremely bright.
Even though Wang Ye’s battle domain was weaker, the fusion with space and the release of energy were stronger than Zhang Yi’s!
“Humph!” Zhang Yi’s eyes were filled with disdain, and his figure instantly disappeared from where he was.
The saber tore through space and headed straight for Wang Ye in an imposing manner.
Cultivating the path of the physical body made him extremely tough. He was fast, and his movements were experienced. He had been honed on the battlefield for a long time. One could tell his strength from the moment he attacked.
Clang!
Weapons clashed.
The two crossed paths and exchanged blows.
Even though Wang Ye had the advantage in terms of battle domain and used dual sabers, Zhang Yi’s attacks were fiercer.
Zhang Yi’s body was as strong as steel, and it was full of explosive power. Dark substance was condensed layer by layer. Not only was his body strong, but his fighting spirit was also high.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every attack carried a strong fighting spirit and a decisive aura. The pressure of the Space-lock Battle Domain was practically ineffective against him.
“He is indeed powerful.” Wang Ye soon realized his shortcomings.
Relying too much on the white origin of thunder and the rapid growth of his strength had caused his saber technique cultivation to fall behind. Even though it was not bad at this level, it could not be compared to a true Dark Energy-level expert.
Zhang Yi’s saber technique was very powerful. If he didn’t have the Space-lock Saber, he would have been killed in an instant.
Energy Control Spell! Origin Core Spell!
After testing the waters, Wang Ye began his counterattack.
The dark energy in his white realm was released, and the Origin Core Spell gathered the origin of thunder. Combat energy stacked and combined layer by layer.
The power of the Thunder Fusion Technique was beginning to show.
The originally one-sided situation was instantly balanced.
Although Zhang Yi still had a slight advantage, that was only because his attacks were decisive and fast, and he was like a tiger.
Faced with Wang Ye’s impregnable defense and the counterattack of the origin of thunder, Zhang Yi, who didn’t have the advantage in the battle domain, was beginning to be restrained.
“This kid is not bad.”
“To be able to fight with Brother Yi to this point, he’s passable.”
“His Thunder Fusion Technique is alright, but his saber technique is too lousy!”
“It’s useless even if he’s good with saber techniques. Brother Yi hasn’t even used his real skills yet. Once he unleashes his Black Weir Bloodline, this kid will definitely lose.”
“Speaking of which, have you guys noticed that although this kid doesn’t have the temperament of someone who has been through many wars, his combat experience isn’t bad? He’s not much inferior to Brother Yi.”
The personal guards of the Xu Wolf Guard discussed animatedly.
Xu Zhongkai stood on the side with his arms crossed. He stared at the battlefield with a hint of joy.
Talent!
A talent he had always dreamed of!
How could a student from the Military Strategy Department have such attainments in actual combat?
It was quite amazing!
Of course, he could tell that Wang Ye had a lot of combat experience.
The other party’s combat energy, battle domain, and even his cultivation as an ability user were all extraordinary.
Although his saber techniques were not that good, no one was perfect. One was bound to have flaws.
The flaws did not obscure his strengths though.
It was already very rare that they could be evenly matched and Wang Ye even had the upper hand before Zhang Yi unleashed his bloodline.
With a little nurturing, he could become his right-hand man in the future!
However…
“I seem to have heard of the Space-lock Battle Domain somewhere recently.” Xu Zhongkai frowned and thought carefully.
He also seemed to have an impression of the name Wang Ye, though he couldn’t remember from where he heard it now…
All of a sudden, the situation in the martial arts field changed.
Zhang Yi, who had been injured by Wang Ye’s counterattack, was furious. He roared and his bloodline erupted.
A black flame surrounded him. Not only did his injured body recover, but a black dragon also appeared and broke through all defenses. Wherever it went, it was unstoppable!
The Black Weir Bloodline!
The Space-lock Battle Domain and Spatial Control were all broken by the black dragon’s flame.
Zhang Yi’s battle domain surged over and enveloped the battlefield.
Wang Ye’s Thunder Fusion Technique was instantly broken. His origin of thunder and combat energy was also instantly torn apart by the black dragon. It was difficult to resist the great killing weapon!
Along with Zhang Yi’s saber, the black dragon opened its bloody mouth and bit at Wang Ye’s head.
Xu Zhongkai’s eyes were sharp and he was ready to make a move at any time. He would not allow Wang Ye to be killed. This was a top-notch talent who was skilled in both martial arts and military strategy!
Suddenly-
Boom!
An even more terrifying power appeared.
White lightning spread out from Wang Ye’s saber.
The appearance of the high-dimensional energy devoured the black dragon’s flames.
It was a ray of white light that contained the energy of a weak thunderbolt. It lit up the martial arts field and made Xu Zhongkai’s eyes widen.
…
Wang Ye!
The White Lightning Yama!
