Boom’

The grand and colossal five Mysterious Ships slowly rose into the sky, breaking through the clouds and flying in different directions.

On the No.5 Mysterious Ship.

Lu Yun stood on the deck, watching the scenery constantly whiz by beneath his feet, feeling quite emotional.

A year ago, he was a new disciple, taking a Mysterious Ship from Cloud Water County to Flying Spirit Martial Academy.

Now, he was an examiner, raking a Mysterious Ship to East Field County, responsible for recruiting and assessing new disciples.

Time had only passed by a year.

It was something he had never expected, nor could anyone else have predicted.

Xiao Chen was in the same situation.

But Xiao Chen didn’t have much of an emotional response; he was focused on completing the task well to obtain a substantial amount of Contribution Points.

If he was lucky and recruited a few Level 5 or Level 6 Innate Talent disciples, he could exchange them for a few more sword techniques to study when he returned to the academy, gradually perfecting his swordsmanship.

Along the way, the Mysterious Ship stopped nine times. The other disciples left the ship one after another, leaving only Xiao Chen and Lu Yun on deck.

Both of their missions were in the final battle.

Of course, there were more than just the two of them on the Mysterious Ship.

Although the Mysterious Ship was a Mysterious instrument, it could not fly without someone controlling it.

Lu Yun learned from others that controlling the No.5 Mysterious Ship was an elder in the Golden Body Realm.

As a large-scale Mysterious Instrument, the Mysterious Ship could not be controlled by ordinary martial artists, and it consumed a significant amount of spirit crystals.

Lu Yun stood on the edge of the Mysterious Ship’s deck and saw a blurry city appear on the horizon, his eyes filled with astonishment.

Even from a distance, the enormity and grandeur of the gigantic city could still be felt.

As the Mysterious Ship approached, the city became even more spectacular and majestic, like an unparalleled ferocious beast standing on the land.

Especially for Lu Yun, who had reached the First Rank Slaughter Conception, he could faintly sense the heavy, vast, and terrifying slaughter aura emanating from the city.

This is the border city of Spirit Martial Prefecture, one of the defense lines that has long resisted invasion by Demon Beasts?” Standing on the Mysterious Ship that slowly docked, Lu Yun sighed in his heart.

Outside the city, the endless wilderness and mountain ranges were faintly visible, filled with a wild and vicious aura.

It is rumored that East Field County is the number one county of Spirit Martial Prefecture. 1 originally thought it was just an exaggeration, but now it seems that East Field County is not only the first county, but also the first fortress!”

Seeing such a peerless fortress towering above the earth, even the always calm Xiao Chen was filled with shock at this moment.

Indeed, it is deserving of being called the number one fortress of Spirit Martial Prefecture, capable of serving as one of the defense lines against the invasion of Demon Beasts. And judging by this, we may have a significant harvest on this trip,” Lu Yun laughed.

in an area that was in constant contact with Demon Beasts, the local people were bound to be strong and have a high chance of producing talented individuals with good innate talent. Moreover, the Martial Academy only recruited disciples here once every five years, meaning there was an accumulation of more talents over time.

That might be difficult to say.” Xiao Chen also understood Lu Yun’s thoughts, but he didn’t hold high expectations; he just hoped the results wouldn’t be too bad.

Are you two here to help East Field City defend against the invasion of the Demon Beasts?”

Suddenly, a general clad in armor appeared with a troop of soldiers below the Mysterious Ship.

The general wore black armor, had a formidable aura, and emitted intense energy; he was at least a five-time True Qi refiner. His sharp gaze fixed on the two of them, Lu Yun and Xiao Chen, on the Mysterious Ship.

Defend against the invasion of Demon Beasts?” Lu Yun and Xiao Chen looked at each other in confusion.

Just then, another young general appeared.

Bu Fan, you rely on brute force all the time and don’t use your brain.”

Bu Fan, the previous formidable black-armored general, immediately bowed, “Greetings, Commander!”

Alright, stand aside.

At this point, Lu Yun and Xiao Chen had already jumped to the ground, and the Mysterious Ship had disappeared into the void.

Upon seeing Lu Yun and Xiao Chen up close, the commander was momentarily surprised, but soon recovered and greeted them with a smile.

Are you two from the Flying Spirit Martial Academy?”

I am Lu Yun, and this is Xiao Chen. We come from the Flying Spirit Martial Academy, responsible for the once-every-five-years recruitment examination in East Field County.”

Lu Yun explained the purpose of their visit.

Haha, my name is Wang Yuhao. 1 also graduated from the Flying Spirit Martial Academy, so I am your senior brother.” Wang Yuhao laughed, “Junior Brother Xiao and Junior Brother Lu, you are so young yet entrusted with such a heavy responsibility. Your talents and strength must be among the top in the Academy, which is astonishing.”

Senior Brother Wang’s praise is too kind; both of us are unworthy.

After Lu Yun spoke humbly, he changed the subject.

However, since we are all from Flying Spirit Martial Academy, 1 hope Senior Brother Wang will help us in the upcoming examination. The two of us would be eternally grateful.”

Of course, after all, I am also a part of the Martial Academy. However, you twro have come at a bad time. With the imminent attack of the Demon Beasts, East Field City is unable to attend to anything else. The examination will have to wait for some time until the crisis is resolved.”

Hearing this, Lu Yun and Xiao Chen’s brows furrowed simultaneously.

Lu Yun glanced at Bu Fan, who was standing to the side, and then swept his gaze around.

One troop after another of black-armored soldiers advanced in an orderly manner, with powerful heavy crossbows set up on the huge city walls and soldiers silently standing guard—all in a war-ready state.

Seeing these scenes, Lu Yun knew that the other party was not lying. In fact, they were only able to stand in front of him now because of their Flying Spirit Martial Academy connection.

Lu Yun asked, “Senior Brother Wang, how long will this beast tide last?

Wang Yuhao shook his head: “It’s uncertain. It depends on the size and level of the beast tide.”

What do you mean?” A cold voice came from Xiao Chen’s mouth.

Glancing at Xiao Chen, Wang Yuhao felt a sharp and extreme aura from him, and couldn’t help but regard him with higher esteem as he explained:

Beast tides are divided into five levels: low, ordinary, terrifying, catastrophic, and nightmarish. East Field City’s defensive line is often attacked by low and ordinary beast tides, and the worst one even involved a terrifying beast tide.”

A terrifying beast tide?” Lu Yun’s body shuddered involuntarily, his face full of shock, “Doesn’t a terrifying beast tide involve the arrival of Level 7 Demon Beasts?”

Level 7 Demon Beasts were absolutely terrifying. Their emergence guaranteed the destruction of the city and its inhabitants.

Wang Yuhao nodded, still uneasy, “Indeed, a Level 7 Demon Beast did appear. If it weren’t for the aid of several experts from the Golden Body Realm and the use of powerful talismans, this defensive line of East Field Giant City would have been completely lost.”

Level 7 Demon Beast!” Xiao Chen muttered under his breath, a killing intent flashing through his eyes momentarily.

At the same time, his sword-wielding right hand couldn’t help but tremble, the sword shaking furiously, as if ready to leave the scabbard at any moment.

Noticing Xiao Chen’s unusual behavior, Lu Yun wondered, “Is he really just ruthless, or does he hold a grudge against evil as well?”

Last time during their mission, Xiao Chen had shown no mercy to the White Lotus Sect members, even lulling beautiful women without batting an eye.

At that time, he had thought Xiao Chen had a grudge against evil cults.

Looking at it now, it wasn’t that simple.

This guy not only harbored hatred for evil cults but also had a strong killing intent for Demon Beasts.

Quickly regaining his composure, Lu Yun looked at Wang Yuhao, asking, “How long do low and ordinary beast tides usually last?”

A low beast tide ends in about three to five days, while an ordinary beast tide takes at least ten days to half a month.”

Lu Yun nodded slightly, thinking that they would be delayed for no more than half a month at most.

Wang Yuhao said, “I’m quite busy at the moment, so 1’11 have Officer Bu Fan take you to settle down first. 1’11 catch up with you guys later when there’s more time.”

Lu Yun readily agreed, “Alright, Senior Brother Wang, you can go ahead and take care of your business.”

These two are prodigies from Flying Spirit Martial Academy, please treat them well.” Wang Yuhao ordered Bu Fan, who stood beside him, before hurrying away.

I shall follow Commander’s orders!

Immediately, Bu Fan led Lu Yun and Xiao Chen into rhe city.

Along the way, Bu Fan remained silent and cold, a complete contrast from the bustling atmosphere of the city.

As a Captain, he should have been busier managing the city’s defenses, but now he found himself ordered by his Commander to lead two untested youngsters around. His displeasure was palpable, but as a soldier, refusing orders was out of the question. No matter how unwilling he felt, he had no choice but to obey.

Once inside the city, the atmosphere of a military stronghold became even more pronounced.

There were no street vendors or civilians on the streets, only soldiers clad in armor and constantly barking orders from their positions as Captains and Commanders.

As they proceeded, Bu Fan spoke plainly, “All the inns and taverns in the city are filled with civilians and refugees from other regions who have fled here. As such, you two will have to make do with quarters within our army camp.”

u

We don’t have many requirements. A place to rest is enough.”

With the current situation in East Field City being very tense, Lu Yun naturally wouldn’t make any unreasonable demands.

Xiao Chen was not the kind of spoiled aristocrat either. He had no concept of what accommodations should be like and remained silent, keeping an eye on their surroundings.

Due to the arrival of the beast tide, the army camp had been temporarily moved from outside the city to within its confines.

Under Bu Fan’s guidance, they arrived at an empty space to the west of the city, which was the temporary location of the army camp.

The numerous tents covered an area of about ten square miles, indicating that at least a hundred thousand troops were stationed here.

In the midst of the army camp, there was a huge square where groups of soldiers formed themselves into square formations, using the limited time remaining to practice their drills, their battle cries ringing out towards the heavens.

Upon surveying the training soldiers, Lu Yun noticed the majority of them to be martial artists at the Enter Martial Realm or higher. Their eyes were sharp during the drills, and they were all enveloped in a faint aura of Evil Qi.

As for the soldiers in the far corners of the square who had yet to become martial artists, their vitality was incredibly strong and they were very close to becoming practitioners.

Following Lu Yun’s line of sight, Bu Fan said, “Those are the new recruits. If they can survive this beast tide, they can become elite soldiers who are worth two or even three times their number.”

Lu Yun did not disagree, but simply sighed, “Yes, they are good seedlings, but their Innate Talent is a bit lacking.”

Recruits with slightly better Innate Talent would certainly not be sent to the battlefield without first becoming martial artists.

These recruits, although their Innate Talent was insufficient, had an exceptional quality: their spirits were filled with fearlessness and bravery.

In short, they possessed a resolute will to die.

Fearlessness and bravery were essential qualities for becoming elite soldiers.

However, even with an unwavering belief in the face of death, it was likely that only three to four out of ten would survive.

After all, even the weakest Demon Beasts were equivalent to Enter Martial Realm practitioners.

Under such a disparity, it would be considered lucky for three out of ten to survive.

The recruits were aware of this.

But they still made the choice resolutely.

Since they had low Innate Talent, they could only rely on the battlefield as nourishment, compensating for their lack of talent with blood and combat.

As long as they could survive, they would have a chance to break their limits and widen their world..
