Lightning Spike
The fighting arena that was originally bustling with noise and excitement suddenly quieted down.
"Hahaha, Luo Zheng, you were simply too awe-inspiring just now. Zhou Qi was like a stray dog. It felt so good!"
Wang Nian rushed up to the arena, extremely excited. "You're now an official Martial Soldier. With you protecting me from now on, let's see who dares to bully me!"
"Let's go back!"
Luo Zheng grinned and patted Fatty's shoulder.
Defeating Zhou Qi was nothing. Zhou Qi was not even ranked in the Blue Wolf Battalion, not to mention the thousands of talented youths in the entire Five Beast Army.
Luo Zheng's biggest wish was to join the Five Saints Army, make contributions, and get a Sovereign Golden Talisman to clear his father's name.
However, it was extremely difficult to enter the Five Saints Army. Only those who were ranked in the top 100 of the Five Beasts Army would have the opportunity to participate in the Five Saints Army's assessment.
"Brat, this is a reward from Crown Prince Rong Hao …"
Just as he was about to leave, a young man wearing a mammoth costume suddenly walked over and threw a small bottle into Luo Zheng's hand before turning around and leaving.
"I'm from the Giant Elephant Battalion. How did Crown Prince Rong Hao know me?"
Luo Zheng had a puzzled look on his face. He opened the small porcelain bottle and was surprised to see that there were actually two Blood Nourishing Pills inside.
Wang Nian was also shocked. "Crown Prince Rong Hao is Duke Rong's son and a genius of the Giant Elephant Battalion. It's said that he reached the Blood Tempering Realm at the age of fifteen and was already set to join the Five Saints Army. Just now, he brought a little girl to watch your match with Zhou Qi. "
"Little girl …"
Luo Zheng's heart jolted as he thought of something.
At this time, the young man who gave Luo Zheng the small porcelain bottle also returned to his companions.
"That kid surnamed Luo was actually able to practice the Galloping Horse to the point of perfection and even received the recognition of the Crown Prince. He is not simple."
The young man said indifferently.
"From the beginning to the end, he only knew how to use the Galloping Horse Strength. Obviously, he only practiced one martial art. If I was like him, I would definitely be able to do it. However, I'm afraid that this Blood Nourishing Pill wasn't a gift from the Heir. Just now, when this brat won, the Princess seemed to be very happy. Obviously, she had a good impression of him. After that, the Princess whispered in the Heir's ear for a while, which led to this matter of the Blood Nourishing Pill. "
As a youth spoke, he intentionally glanced at the proud Zhao Feng and spoke with deep meaning.
Zhao Feng, the youngest son of the Zhenyuan Marquis.
Yue Shi and Rong Wang and Rong Lun were old friends and Zhao Feng had been using the relationship between the two families to pursue Rong Yue, but Rong Yue had always been cold.
"Hmph, Luo Zheng, you're from a lowly and humble family, yet you've gained the favor of the princess!"
Zhao Feng's expression was grim as he looked in the direction Luo Zheng had left, his eyes full of hatred.
At this moment, the news that Luo Zheng had defeated Zhou Qi and was promoted to an official martial soldier slowly spread throughout the Five Beast Army. His name also appeared on the Blue Wolf Battalion's ranking list, ranking 100th, pushing Zhou Qi below him.
In the Five Beast Army's tent, the middle-aged instructor who had presided over this battle stood below.
"Oh, you're saying that Luo Zheng has mastered the Stampeding Horse Strength, a low-class Human-level martial art, to the point of perfection and defeated Zhou Qi?"
Above him was an extremely handsome young man with sword-like eyebrows that reached his temples. He wore black battle armor and had a cold expression. A powerful aura emanated from his body, indicating that his cultivation was profound.
"That's right!"
The middle-aged instructor nodded. "Luo Zheng's cultivation talent and battle talent are both above average. It's a pity that he's from a humble family."
"Our duty is to select talents for the War Emperor, regardless of whether they're from a wealthy or humble family. No matter how wealthy or humble a family is, ten thousand years ago, they were just barbarians who drank raw meat and drank blood."
The young man was expressionless. "As long as he's a youth with potential, you don't know if he'll be able to establish a wealthy family for our War Emperor. Who knows, he might even become a Holy Martial King!"
"I understand." The middle-aged instructor left.
At that moment, Luo Zheng had also arrived at the Five Beast Army's Military Affairs Hall.
"Luo Zheng defeated Zhou Qi, a mid-class martial soldier. He's here to collect his uniform."
Walking into the Military Affairs Hall, Luo Zheng found an instructor and took out his identity card.
"Okay."
The instructor checked the identity card and confirmed that it was correct. He took out two sets of two-headed Blue Wolf uniforms and handed them to Luo Zheng. He said, "After advancing to a mid-class martial soldier, you'll receive a mid-class Human-level martial arts technique. In the future, you'll be able to adopt a Blood Nourishing Pill every month. This is the certificate to select a martial arts technique from the Martial Proclamation Hall. "
Then, the instructor took out a black wooden plaque and handed it to Luo Zheng.
"Great!"
Luo Zheng took it. His face was expressionless, but he was secretly delighted.
In the past, Luo Zheng came from a poor family. It was already extremely lucky for him to be able to obtain the Galloping Horse Strength martial arts technique. In terms of elixirs, he couldn't even afford the lowest grade Qi Nourishing Pill.
But in these two days, he had first obtained the Falling Star Fist, and now he could go to the Martial Proclamation Hall to select a martial arts technique. This change was like heaven and earth!
Trainee martial soldiers could receive two low-class mortal level Qi Nourishing Pills every month. Official martial soldiers could receive one mid-class mortal level Blood Nourishing Pill every month. The medicinal power of one Blood Nourishing Pill was equivalent to ten Qi Nourishing Pills. The treatment was five times better.
In the Hundred Battles Dynasty's army, elixirs were equivalent to rations and salaries. The more outstanding one's cultivation was, the higher the military rank, and the more cultivation resources one would receive.
After leaving the Military Affairs Hall, Luo Zheng went straight to the Martial Proclamation Hall and chose a sword technique martial arts technique, Lightning Ray Pierce. Then, he went to the Weapon Hall and received a longsword made of Hundred Refinement Fine Steel before returning to his residence.
The weapons in the Hundred Battles Dynasty's army were divided into Hundred Refinement Fine Steel, Thousand Refinement Fine Steel, and Ten Thousand Refinement Fine Steel. However, these weapons were all mortal level weapons and were only meant for ordinary martial artists to use.
True divine weapons needed to enter the official army and contribute greatly to the dynasty before they could be rewarded by the War Emperor.
At this moment, Luo Zheng's room was in a mess. It was the aftereffects of practicing the Falling Star Fist yesterday and had yet to be cleaned up.
He didn't mind and sat on the floor with his legs crossed.
"This time, I was able to defeat Zhou Qi because of the Heavenly Sword Formation. However, in order to unleash the true power of the Heavenly Sword Formation, I need to reforge the Heavenly Sword Formation."
