Even if the transformation into a soldier wasn’t 100% guaranteed, it still filled them with immense excitement.
After all, the number of soldiers prepared by the Heavenly General Tower was not small.
“Soldiers, get up.”
Mei Changge’s gaze landed on these people and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. These people should be the elites among the reserve soldiers.
All of them had reached the Innate realm. Compared to when Xu Chu and the others became soldiers, they had already cultivated cultivation techniques and laid some foundations.
This increased their chances of transforming into soldiers.
“Zhong Wen.”
Observing the 5,000 reserve soldiers stand upright, each one exuded a hint of iron-blooded aura. Even though they hadn’t engaged in battle with the foreign races on the battlefield, they had been trained by Yue Fei and others, which had tempered them.
This was because the generals would return to the Heavenly General Tower every once in a while to train these reserve soldiers for a short period. It could be seven days or 10 days.
Based on this, they benefited a lot.
“Your Majesty! ”
When Zhong Wen heard Mei Changge call him, he took a step forward.
“Generals, this time the soldiers are different from before.’
“This is the pharmaceutical department head of the Creation Workshop. He’s in charge of developing potions.”
Mei Changge’s tone was serious. He pointed at Zhong Wen and told the five thousand people in front of him his identity.
“That’s right. The newly established soldiers this time are special. As for their strength, everyone in the Golden Crow Guards should have heard of them!”
Mei Changge looked at everyone’s curious gazes and mentioned the Golden Crow Guards.
“Golden Crow Guards? Aren’t they the king’s guards?”
“That’s right, they are guards. I heard that their strength is completely above other soldiers. General Xu Chu was the first to follow the king!”
“Is it possible that the new soldiers can rival the Golden Crow Guards?!”
“How is that possible? You’ve never seen the power of the Golden Crow Guards. I’ve seen it before!”
For a moment, murmurs spread among the 5,000 men. Mei Changge mentioning the Golden Crow Guards piqued their curiosity even more.
After all, everyone in the Green Lotus Dynasty had heard of the Golden Crow Guards’ reputation.
“That’s right, the new soldiers are called the Mandrill Guards. They are as powerful as the Golden Crow Guards.”
Mei Changge said to everyone present with a serious expression.
“Zhong Wen, take out the Mandrill Bloodline Potions.”
Mei Changge looked at Zhong Wen and gestured to him.
Zhong Wen nodded and took out bottles of medicine with his left hand.
With a wave of Mei Changge’s hand, many Mandrill Bloodline Potions floated up and flew towards the 5,000 soldiers.
It slowly landed in everyone’s hands.
“This is called the Mandrill Bloodline Potion. I believe you’ve all heard of the Mandrill race. It does originate from the foreign race in the past.”
“After consuming this Bloodline Potion, you will be able to condense the Mandrill bloodline in your bodies. This will also allow you to become Mandrill Guards.”
Mei Changge looked over and said curiously to the people holding the Bloodline Potion.
“Of course, the Bloodline Potion will not change you. It will only allow you to have the power of the Mandrill race.”
“If you’re willing to become a Mandrill Guard, drink this Bloodline Potion.” Mei Changge said again.
As soon as he finished speaking, none of the five thousand people hesitated. They opened the Bloodline Potion and drank it in one gulp.
Immediately, everyone finished them.
After all, this was a soldier comparable to the Golden Crow Guards. Naturally, they didn’t think too much about it. Having been summoned to become reserve soldiers, their aspirations naturally inclined towards becoming soldiers, especially powerful ones.
When Mei Changge saw this, he did not speak again. His gaze landed on everyone.
A moment later.
Bam!
Voices sounded again, but this time, it was the sound of the potion bottle in their hands falling to the ground and shattering.
Then, low roars of pain sounded. Mei Changge was helpless when he saw this scene.
Before he could finish speaking, they consumed the Bloodline Potions and had to endure the pain of the Mandrill bloodline fusing into their bodies.
“Don’t resist it. Sit cross-legged and circulate your cultivation technique. Use the Innate pure qi in your body to cleanse your body.”
Mei Changge’s voice was calm, but it fell into everyone’s ears. After hearing his words, the 5,000 reserve soldiers all sat on the spot and began to cultivate.
Mei Changge took out some Blessed Stones and crushed them all. He used spiritual energy to condense the spiritual energy emitted from the Blessed Stones into a dark cloud that enveloped everyone.
In the next second.
Cool raindrops fell from the sky and landed on everyone.
Zhong Wen stared intently at the 5,000 people before him. After all, he was the one who refined the Bloodline Potion. While he had conducted experiments, having 5,000 people take it simultaneously would significantly enhance his data.
Under Mei Changge’s influence, spiritual energy transformed into rain, infusing the surroundings with vitality. Even half of the grass on the ground sprouted and grew, reaching up to their knees.
As time passed, the pain on some people’s faces gradually disappeared. Instead, they revealed comfortable expressions.
It seemed like the power of the Mandrill Bloodline Potion had fused into their bodies.
After everyone absorbed the Bloodline Potion, they got up from the ground and looked at their palms and bodies with excitement in their eyes.
Even Mei Changge and Zhong Wen looked surprised.
Before consuming the Bloodline Potion, these 5,000 people stood at around 5-9 feet tall. However, after assimilating the entirety of the Bloodline Potion, their bodies had surpassed 6.5 feet in height. “Is this a rebirth?”
Zhong Wen’s eyes lit up when he saw this.
There was nothing strange about them. However, their bodies were a little larger and they were still human.
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
After everyone sensed the changes in their bodies, their eyes were filled with respect and excitement as they bowed to Mei Changge.
“Soldiers, this is only the first step to becoming a Mandrill Guard.”
Mei Changge also revealed a satisfied smile. Although his body was a little taller, it did not affect him much. On the contrary, he could unleash the true power of the Mandrill bloodline in their bodies.
“Go. That’s the soldier pool of the Mandrill Guards. Line up and enter. Once you come out, you will inherit the legacy of the Mandrill Guards and become genuine Mandrill Guards.”
Mei Changge pointed at the black pool not far away. Above the pool was a strange stone that seemed to have four limbs.
This was the soldier pool of the Mandrill Guards, and also the place where they obtained the inheritance.
At that moment, Qing Feng walked out and began to arrange for everyone to enter the pool to receive the inheritance.
“Zhong Wen, there are no side effects to this Bloodline Potion, right?”
Mei Changge looked at Zhong Wen, who was deep in thought. After all, these people’s bodies were changing. He had to ask.
“Don’t worry, Your Majesty. There are no side effects. On the contrary, their fusion is perfect.”
Zhong Wen assured Mei Changge.
“That’s good.”
Mei Changge nodded.
“By the way, have you started to study other Bloodline Potions?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. The Bloodline Potion is a unique power. I’ve been trying to refine other Bloodline Potions recently and have some clues.”
Zhong Wen nodded. After the Mandrill Bloodline Potion was made, he saw its hidden power and wanted to develop some potions with the bloodline of other foreign races.
“Alright, let me know immediately if there are any results.”
Mei Changge nodded.
“I’ll also obtain some Shrimp Soldiers, Crab Generals, and other foreign races to further develop the Bloodline Potions.”
Mei Changge suddenly thought of the Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals Pool in his hand and instructed Zhong Wen.
Currently, the soldiers in the Green Lotus Dynasty still lacked soldiers who could fight in the water or air.
There were very few soldiers who could engage in combat underwater. As for those capable of aerial combat, as long as they reached the Transcendent realm, they could fight in the air. Since it wasn’t particularly extraordinary, Mei Changge wasn’t in a rush to initiate aerial combat.
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Although Zhong Wen was puzzled, he did not ask further..
