After returning to Qingxu College, Ling Xiao began to use the valuable materials he bought from the Heavenly Dragon Auction House to refine armor, weapons, and magic treasures.
If others were to see the scene of him refining, they would be completely dumbfounded.
Dozens of things were floating above the Hellfire Furnace at the same time, and he could control the heat perfectly. This was simply unimaginable.
Three days later, Ling Xiao finished forging all the weapons and armor and personally handed them to Qin Huo.
This army of more than three hundred people would be the "Iron Mask Army" that would shake the world in the future.
This was because they all wore special metal masks on their faces. Not only did they look ferocious and fierce, but they also had a strong defensive effect.
They could defend against physical attacks as well as spiritual attacks.
They were not just for decoration.
After handing over the items to Qin Huo, Ling Xiao contacted Ji Ning and asked Ji Ning to integrate this army into the Northern Desert City's army.
However, Ling Xiao did not tell Feng Yinshan about this matter.
Ling Xiao still did not trust Feng Yinshan that much.
It was never wrong to be careful.
A day after Qin Huo and the others left, Di Jun issued an order for the Phoenix Academy and Qingxu College to send out disciples who had not participated in the border trial to Northern Desert City.
What was interesting was that Ling Xiao treated this as an opportunity to train himself.
However, there were many nobles from the Phoenix Academy who did not want to go because they were afraid of death. If it were not for Di Jun's threat, there would not be more than five people from the Phoenix Academy who dared to go to Northern Desert City.
Of course, not everyone from the Phoenix Academy was afraid of death. Ling Xiao also admitted this point.
Even among the nobles, there were some who hoped to go to the battlefield to obtain military merits and be conferred the title of king.
As for the Qingxu College, because the only new disciples were Ling Xiao, Hime Myung-kō, and a few others, this time, only these people and Feng Yanran would go to Northern Desert City.
Feng Yanran had never been on the battlefield. She also hoped to temper herself on the battlefield. Otherwise, she would be further and further away from Ling Xiao.
In the square where Ling Xiao had killed the Blood Skull, all the warriors who were going to the Northern Desert City had gathered.
There was going to be a general assembly here. This was also the usual practice.
Among the crowd, there was a group that seemed very special.
They didn't look like soldiers because they were all wearing civilian clothes. Moreover, they didn't look like soldiers. It was obvious that they were students from Phoenix Academy and Qingxu College.
At this time, Ling Xiao was in the group. Beside him were Cold Plum, Hime Myung-kō, Lan Yu 'er, Dai Yuling, Dai Yaoling, Long Chen, Ying Wuya, Zhao Zhi, Zhao Ci, and Feng Yanran.
Cold Plum had recovered much earlier than expected. However, her body was still very weak. Even though she was a half-step Yin Yang Realm cultivator, she could only display the strength of a Ten Directions Heaven Realm cultivator.
The more power she used, the greater the burden on her body. It might even be life-threatening.
This Ten Directions Heaven's cultivation was forcibly limited by Ling Xiao.
These people were going to the border trial together.
Although the future was uncertain and might be very dangerous, they couldn't hide in the academy.
However, if they were to hide in the academy, they would not be able to gain anything. This was also the reason why these people wanted to head to the border to participate in the border trial.
Perhaps it was because most of the people standing beside Ling Xiao were young and beautiful girls. Many people looked at him with jealousy.
Cold Plum, cold and handsome.
Hime Myung-kō, noble and proud.
Lan Yu 'er, generous and decent.
Dai Yuling, gentle and considerate.
Dai Yaoling, lively and lovely.
Zhao Ci, dignified and beautiful.
Feng Yanran, elegant and graceful.
If one looked carefully, these girls were all plum orchids and autumn chrysanthemums. They were all different.
Although their appearances and figures were different, they could be summed up with one word, "beautiful".
It was no wonder that those people were crazy with jealousy.
However, Ling Xiao didn't seem to be aware of this. He stood there and thought about his own things. He didn't flirt with the girls.
He hoped that these people beside him were not only friends, but also strength that could help him.
This border trial was the best time for them to improve their strength. Unless they were really going to die, Ling Xiao would never help them.
Only in this cruel trial could they improve by leaps and bounds and really grow up.
These people were all talented. They were all geniuses. The most important thing was whether they worked hard or not.
"Hehehe, you must be Ling Xiao. You have good luck with women."
These women, any one of them could attract bees and butterflies, not to mention several of them. On the side of Divine Phoenix Academy, there was finally someone who could not hold it in any longer, revealing a bewitching smile as he spoke to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao glanced at this person. He was a stranger, so he didn't pay attention to him.
With so many beautiful girls by his side, it was impossible not to attract attention. If he had to pay attention to every word they said, he would be exhausted to death.
"Ling Xiao, it's fine if you ignore me. When we're on the battlefield, I don't believe that you can protect each of them. Hehehe, you were able to kill the Blood Skeleton. Of course, your luck is also very good. However, on the battlefield, your mediocre skills are useless."
Ling Xiao ignored that person, but that person was a bit insatiable.
"It's not up to trash like you to say whether it's useful or not. If you don't believe me, you can try. If you dare to touch a single hair on their heads, I'll make you regret it!"
Faced with such insatiable words, Ling Xiao had no choice but to speak up. Otherwise, others would think that he was easy to bully.
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, that person suddenly released a cold killing intent. He actually grabbed Zhao Ci, who had the weakest cultivation among the ten people.
Although Zhao Ci's cultivation had broken through to the Heaven Realm, she was only at the late stage of the One-Line-Sky Realm.
Her strength was the weakest among the ten people, but she was still much stronger than the average soldier. The average strength of the soldiers on the Divine Phoenix Continent was the Transcendent Realm. They were much stronger than the Martial Vein Realm soldiers on the Heavenly Dragon Continent.
But after all, they were only soldiers. The cultivators from the two great academies were a bit worse.
Therefore, Zhao Ci was definitely qualified to go to the battlefield. At the very least, her survival rate was higher than those soldiers.
But here, there were no soldiers, only cultivators. So, the guy from the Phoenix Academy first targeted Zhao Ci.
"Remember this Young Master's name – Wan Qiufeng!"
While making his move, that person also introduced himself, as if he was afraid that Ling Xiao didn't know his name.
He didn't fear Ling Xiao at all. He wanted to embarrass Ling Xiao in public.
* Peng! *
Zhao Ci hurriedly dodged, but she was still sent flying by Wan Qiufeng's palm. She spat out blood and fell to the ground for a long time.
Ling Xiao didn't intervene.
He could help Zhao Ci, but he didn't.
This was the plan he had set before. If he wanted these people to fully mature, they couldn't always hide under his protection. They had to go through what they had to go through.
Ling Xiao knew that Wan Qiufeng's palm couldn't kill Zhao Ci, and that was enough.
As long as Zhao Ci didn't die, he could save Zhao Ci.
Zhao Ci had to bear this kind of pain.
