CHAPTER 7

"Taotie Camp, why don't you all come at me together?" Xu Mo's words once again caused an uproar in the entire audience!

Everyone stared at Xu Mo with wide eyes and disbelief!

This is too crazy! He just defeated the Qiongqi Camp.

Now he wants to face off against two battalions? That's incredibly bold!

When the contestants from the Taotie Camp and the Yingzhu Camp heard this, they immediately became furious and sought to take the stage.

But at that moment, two voices rang out one after the other.

"Stand down, Yingzhu Camp concedes!"

"Taotie Camp surrenders!"

A collective "Wow" echoed through the arena, and everyone turned their attention to the commanders' seating area.

The commanders of the Yingzhu Camp and the Taotie Camp stood at their respective positions, their faces flush with anger and frustration. They were well aware of the strength of their new recruits.

Wang Qiang's powerful nine-star golden bloodline had been bested by the opponent. Even if their battalions joined forces, would the outcome be any different?

Admitting defeat together would save them from the humiliation of being crushed as a unit.

"Chaos Camp recruits, why don't you express your gratitude to the three commanders for their generosity? This year, we finally have some meat to feast on!"

With a playful smile, Wan Jun stood up and loudly called out towards the Chaos Camp's direction.

The Chaos Camp recruits were momentarily surprised, but they soon caught on. They burst into laughter, rising from their seats and bowing in unison towards the commanders.

"Thank you to the three commanders!"

Chang Liwei, Li Dan, and Luan Hua's faces turned pale!

Complete defeat and humiliation - nothing more and nothing less!

When Xu Mo saw his opponents concede, he descended from the stage. At that moment, a system prompt echoed in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for defeating the three battalions of opponents and obtaining the reward: Divine Beast Bloodline Fusion +20%!]

Xu Mo's heart raced, and he instinctively opened his personal attributes panel.

[Host: Xu Mo]

[Bloodline: Chongming Bird]

[Fusion degree: 30%]

[Ability: Power to lift the sky]

Looking at his personal attributes, Xu Mo felt an undercurrent of excitement. The system prompt had already triggered a surge of majestic energy entering his body. It was evident that with improved blood fusion, his strength had grown significantly.

What would his capabilities be when bloodline fusion reached its full potential? He couldn't help but wonder.

"Wanjun, where is the outstanding new recruit from your camp?" Just as Xu Mo left the stage, a commanding voice boomed from behind the crowd.

All eyes turned in the direction of the voice. A middle-aged man clad in an admiral's military uniform strode into the martial arts arena.

Seeing the Admiral arrive in person, all the commanders of the new regiments organized their troops.

"All of you, salute!"

"Alright, let's get this straight. Wan Jun, where is the person?" Admiral Zeng Rong grasped Wan Jun.

"Admiral, this is the recruit I mentioned earlier, Xu Mo!" Wan Jun promptly called Xu Mo over and introduced him to Zeng Rong.

Zeng Rong nodded and scrutinized Xu Mo from head to toe, his eyes gleaming with eagerness.

With the Xingyao Nine Star bloodline in his new regiment, Xu Mo would undoubtedly contribute significantly to future endeavors.

"Good job, well done, hahaha..." Zeng Rong slapped Xu Mo on the shoulder, his smile so wide that it nearly reached behind his ears.

This scene filled the three commanders, Chang Liwei, Li Dan, and Luan Hua, with disgust.

However, in the military, strength was paramount. If their camp produced a Nine Stars inheritor, this moment would be their glory.

"Young man, prepare yourself. This new regiment isn't suitable for your future development," Zeng Rong declared to Xu Mo. Wan Jun concurred.

Indeed, there was no room for the genuine talent Xu Mo in the new regiment. Staying would only curtail his potential. This was why he came to Zeng Rong!

Upon hearing Zeng Rong's words, the three commanders Chang Liwei, Li Dan, and Luan Hua wore even darker expressions.

"Yes!" Xu Mo readily agreed without hesitation. Wan Jun had already sent him numerous signals. If he dared to say no, Wan Jun would definitely make him regret it.

Xu Mo shared this perspective. With Zeng Rong's guidance, he would undoubtedly achieve far greater feats than he could within the new regiment.

"Alright, make the necessary preparations, Wan Jun. I'll pick you up in two days!"

"Yes, Lord Admiral!"

The troops snapped to attention and saluted as a collective, while everyone looked at Xu Mo with a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

This young man had absorbed all the glory of the new regiment for this year!

After Zeng Rong gave his orders, he and Wan Jun departed immediately, leaving Xu Mo alone in Wan Jun's office.

"Xu Mo, this is your reward for today's victory. Once you join the Admiral in two days, your training resources will far surpass what's available here!" Wan Jun handed a wooden box to Xu Mo and shared some important information.

"You mentioned the Admiral...," Xu Mo picked up on a hidden message in Wan Jun's words.

"The Admiral not only oversees our new regiment but also holds the main responsibility of defending Yanjing Fortress."

"When you're with the Admiral, you won't just be training; you'll be directly involved in battles."

"You'll witness the actual battlefield and face the legions of monsters you'll battle against throughout your life."

Wan Jun elaborated on what Xu Mo would encounter next, his voice tinged with melancholy, as if he were recalling past battles.

But soon, Wan Jun shook off his emotions and addressed Xu Mo with gravity.

"Xu Mo, remember that you must make the most of your bloodline and mature rapidly. Your future extends far beyond this point!"

"Yes, Lord Commander!" Xu Mo responded emphatically, saluting solemnly.

"Go on; you don't need to participate in the next two days of training. Focus on your personal practice!"

"Understood!" Xu Mo affirmed and took his leave.

Back at the military camp, it was devoid of personnel. After the inheritance ceremony, the new recruits commenced basic training.

Xu Mo was entitled to relish the rewards of his victory without partaking in the training.

Upon opening the wooden box, he discovered three differently colored monster crystal nuclei nestled inside, radiating powerful energy fluctuations.

Through his predecessor's memories, Xu Mo knew that consuming these crystal nuclei was the way to utilize them.

Without hesitation, he swallowed all three crystal nuclei. They melted in his mouth.

In an instant, a surge of robust energy coursed through Xu Mo's limbs. The energy contained in these crystal nuclei maximized the inheritor's physical strength, facilitating advancements.

As the energy flowed through his body, Xu Mo's strength began to surge at an astonishing rate.

Bronze one star, bronze two stars...

Bronze three stars...

Bronze five stars...

Bronze nine stars...
