“It’s a bit similar to the Mastery Realm Technique, but at a higher and more comprehensive level …” Lu Sheng could not accurately estimate how much stronger he had become in this state.
He only knew that he had become a lot stronger … A lot stronger.
“Interesting!” Lu Sheng smiled faintly and gently twisted his neck. The joints in his body made cracking sounds, indicating that he was about to wake up.
“Looks like the potential of the Absolute Martial Path is even more terrifying than I thought …” Lu Sheng’s body swayed.
His body instantly disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already dozens of meters away. The second exotic beast appeared with a roar.
This time, it was an exotic beast that looked like a leopard. Its body was covered in dense scales, reflecting a dense colourful light under the snow-white mane.
The leopard was stronger than the Black-toothed Sabre Boar, more powerful, and faster.
It was almost comparable to a Level 3 Exotic Beast.
Half a minute later.
Lu Sheng calmly tossed aside the ugly leopard head in his hand and slowly walked forward.
“Next.”
…
In a huge conference hall.
A huge curved display screen took up almost half of the hall.
In the middle were individual seats.
Colonels in dark blue military uniforms sat down one by one. Dong Qingxue and Qin Shaojun were among them.
“Dong Qingxue.” Shangguan Ling stood beside a seat and greeted the two of them from afar.
Dong Qingxue ignored him and sat down with Qin Shaojun in Dongning Province’s seats.
A victorious smile appeared on Shangguan Ling’s face as he sat down without a care.
Not long after, a middle-aged man of medium build strode into the conference hall.
After the middle-aged man entered, all the colonels in the hall immediately stood up. Their expressions were solemn and respectful.
“Instructor Yu.”
The middle-aged man nodded slightly at everyone and said calmly, “Sit.”
The colonels sat down in an orderly and silent manner.
Even Qin Shaojun, who had always been sloppy, was now standing upright with a solemn expression.
This was because this person’s name was Yu Feiyi, and he had a golden star on his shoulder.
It represented his rank as a major general in the Eastern Military Region. At the same time, he was also a serious … Level 7 Master!
“Are all the genius representatives from the provinces here?”
Yu Feiyi sat in the highest and most central position in the conference hall. The rest of the people’s seats formed a half-moon shape, surrounding him.
From this position, they could clearly see every corner of the huge curved display screen in front of them. It was as if they could see the entire situation.
“They’re all here. They’re waiting for you to announce the start of the selection.”
A young officer stood up and turned on the display screen above him. Immediately, dozens of surveillance images appeared on the screen.
In each image, there was a young man or woman standing there, waiting quietly.
The colonels below the stage immediately looked for the genius representatives they had brought. Occasionally, they would look at other images.
Yu Feiyi glanced at the images and said, “Have you checked all the exotic beasts for the selection?”
The young officer reported, “All of them have been checked. There are no injuries, no weakening, and no special types … Each selection path has five Level 2 Exotic Beasts, three Level 3 Exotic Beasts, and one Level 4 Exotic Beast. At the top is a quasi-Level 5 Exotic Beast, the Golden-Eyed Demonic Ape …”
Soft murmurs rang out from the colonels below. Someone couldn’t help but say, “A quasi-Level 5 Exotic Beast, and the Golden-Eyed Demonic Ape at that. We’ll need at least two Level 5 Martial Artists to fight it head-on. Isn’t this selection a little too difficult for a group of students whose average age is no more than eighteen?”
The young officer looked at the speaker and said expressionlessly, “For this selection, we’ve arranged for more than fifty Level 5 Martial Artists and ten Level 6 Martial Artists to guard it. Theoretically speaking, we’ve already minimized the possibility of casualties.”
Yu Feiyi said indifferently, “If we can’t even deal with a quasi-Level 5 Exotic Beast after gathering all the top martial artists in the East, then the Dragon Nation has no future to speak of.”
The colonels all shut up and didn’t dare to raise any objections.
The young officer added, “Actually, this quasi-Level 5 Golden-Eyed Demonic Ape is a common goal we’ve set for all the genius representatives who can make it to the final stage.
“If they can’t kill this Golden-Eyed Demonic Ape despite working together, then the final reward for this selection will only be given out according to the standards of the previous selection.”
The young officer paused for a moment, then said in a firm voice, “The military’s resources will only be used on the most valuable martial artists.”
Only then did the colonels understand that the selection, which was said to have the most generous rewards in history, also had its requirements that needed to be met to be qualified for the promised rewards.
Yu Feiyi also said coldly, “The Eastern Military Region guards the second most important and also the second most dangerous battlefront in the entire Ancient Dragon Kingdom, yet it’s been ranked last in the national military tournament for several years. If we continue to hold the selection like a game, then in a few years, I don’t think there will be any talents left in the entire East!”
The colonels all felt a chill run down their spines.
Yu Feiyi glanced at everyone’s expressions, then said, “Then, let’s commence the selection.”
“Yes, sir.” The young officer nodded and gave the order through the communicator.
Soon, the metal door in the dozens of surveillance images on the screen started to open.
Dozens of young men and women, who represented the most outstanding martial artists in the East this year, walked into the passage one after another.
The selection for the Qiming Star General officially began.
Yu Feiyi looked at the surveillance images and said calmly, “First, zoom in on the images of the most important candidates, then adjust the proportion of the images according to the current ranking.”
“Yes, sir.” The three surveillance images on the screen were quickly zoomed in.
The proportion of the images was twice that of the other images.
As a Master Martial Artist, Yu Feiyi could easily observe the situation and movements of everyone in the images.
The real-time image proportion adjustment mode was just to make it easier for the colonels below to watch, and also to show the selection process more directly.
In the three huge screens on the display, three boys and girls with different styles came into everyone’s view. The one on the far left was a tall and beautiful girl with picturesque features and waist-length hair.
The difference being that the ends of the girl’s long hair were slightly upturned, and the strands of her hair trembled slightly like a living thing.
“Genius representative of Dongze Province, Kong Qing, 17 years and 8 months old, Level 3 Martial Artist, Element-type talent. Elemental control: electricity, Proficiency (Element): Level 1 …” The young officer reported loudly to everyone at the right time.
In fact, the data was present in front of everyone, and what everyone paid attention to was not what was recorded in the data, but the ability displayed in the actual combat process.
Then there is the middle screen.
The screen showed an image of a handsome young man wearing a snow-white casual shirt. Next to the young man, objects like nails were floating about quietly, which painted quite a strange picture.
“Genius Representative of the Jiangzhou Province, Jia Haoran, eighteen years and three months old, Level 3 Martial Artist, spiritually gifted. He has cleared the Level 2 Spiritual Master assessment …”
The appearance of the boy in the third screen was extremely striking.
Nearly two meters tall, taller than many adults, with dark skin and a ferocious appearance, like a brown bear walking upright.
“Genius representative of Shilin Province, Xing Zhi, eighteen years and nine months old, Level 4 Martial Artist, defensive-type talent. Proficiency (Defence): Iron Skin …” hen the young officer mentioned the brown bear boy, many of the officers’ cheeks couldn’t help but up turn.
Eighteen years old, Level 4 Martial Artist. This was already a very exaggerated result, what was the average strength of those gathered?
