After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xing Jue and the others followed Yang Bin into the luxurious dragon carriage. As for a guide like Uncle Pang, he did not have the qualifications to ride the dragon carriage.
That was because he had already received his reward as a guide through the invitation. He stood in the distance and silently watched as Xing Jue and the others entered the dragon carriage. Then, they were escorted by the soldiers of the Secret Battalion. They swaggered off and gradually disappeared from the wide road.
"Xing Jue is really not simple."
"Who knows, he might really become the general of the Secret Battalion many years from now. Heh, if that day comes, I, Pang San, will have the right to brag."
"After all, a general is an existence that even the imperial family of the Starfall Dynasty does not dare to provoke."
Uncle Pang scratched his head excitedly as he watched the dragon carriage disappear into the distance. Then, he glanced at the low-grade storage bracelet in his hand and a joyful smile appeared on his aged face.
That was because the seemingly unremarkable storage bracelet contained enough resources for him and his family to live the rest of their lives in peace. All of that was given to him by Xing Jue.
The Secret Battalion was the strongest fighting force in the Starfall Dynasty. It had an army of several million soldiers. Such a huge army naturally needed someone to manage it, so there were different ranks in the Secret Battalion.
The soldiers were the most lowly existences in the Secret Battalion. They were also the main force of the Secret Battalion.
The captains were in charge of a thousand soldiers. Of course, depending on the individual's ability, there was no lack of captain-level talents in the Secret Battalion who commanded thousands of soldiers.
The head captains were in charge of several tens of thousands of soldiers. They were the leaders of the Secret Battalion. Not only did every head captains possess great strength, they also had the ability to command several tens of thousands of soldiers.
After the head captains were the titles of generals. However, the most powerful one was the ruler of the entire Secret Battalion, the Marshal. The Marshal of the Secret Battalion controlled the military power of a million soldiers. He was also the strongest person in the Starfall Dynasty and was known as a god-like man.
It was precisely because of such a special status that the marshal of the Divine Secret Battalion was the person with the greatest authority in the vast Starfall Empire, apart from the supreme emperor of the Imperial City. Similarly, apart from the emperor, no one else could order the marshal around. In other words, even if it was the emperor, the marshal might not necessarily have to listen to him.
Of course, there was no need to talk about the legendary commander of the Heavenly Secret Unit, the Marshal. Even generals were rarely seen in the Celestial Secret Unit, because they were located in the capital of the Starfall Empire, the Imperial City.
To the commoners of the Star Fall Empire, the Imperial City was simply a divine city. Every day, there was singing and dancing to celebrate peace and happiness. It was a strange place where beauties were as common as the clouds and wonderful things were happening everywhere. The people there lived lives that ordinary people could not imagine. All the people in the Imperial City were naturally existences like immortals. They were the true elites of the Star Fall Empire.
Because the officials above the rank of general lived deep in the Imperial City, apart from the headquarters of the Divine Secret Unit, the highest-ranking official in the branch was the commander. Normally, there would only be one commander in charge of each branch.
However, among the close to a hundred branches of the Divine Secret Battalion on the Starfall Continent, there was one branch that was an exception. Due to some special reasons, this branch had become a place specially used for people from the Mortal World to take the test. Of course, such a special branch didn't just have one chief captain, but three.
"So this is the Divine Secret Unit? It really is imposing. "
Walking down from the Dragon Horse carriage, even Xing Jue could not help but sigh as he looked at the towering city in front of him, as well as the soldiers and guards who were all wearing the same Spiritual Weapon and exuding an extraordinary aura. If he had to describe the soldiers and guards of the Divine Secret Unit, there could only be one word: well-trained.
"Xing Jue, Han Xu, Mei Xuan, although there is only one place for the champion, the longer you stand here, the more you will prove your worth. Although I only managed to reach the top ten back then, I believe that the three of you can do better." Yang Bin smiled as he spoke to Xing Jue and the other two in front of the Dragon Horse carriage.
"Captain Yang Bin, rest assured. The three of us will definitely do our best," Xing Jue and the other two replied in unison.
"Mhm, I believe in the three of you. I still have some matters that I need to deal with, but when the test starts, I will be cheering for the three of you below the stage."
Seeing that Xing Jue and the other two had an extraordinary aura, Yang Bin nodded his head in gratification. Then, he stepped onto the Dragon Horse carriage and entered the Divine Secret Unit.
Seeing this, Xing Jue and the other two looked at each other and smiled. Then, they walked towards the branch of the Divine Secret Unit. There were close to a hundred soldiers guarding the entrance of the Divine Secret Unit. When they saw that Xing Jue and the other two weren't soldiers of the Divine Secret Unit, they stopped them.
"Here, these are our invitations." Xing Jue and the other two took out their invitations.
"Go in."
But what surprised Xing Jue and the other two was that when the soldier saw their invitations, although there was a slight change in his expression, he didn't show any special flattery.
One must know that those who could receive the invitations, although they were only ordinary people, were trusted subordinates of the captains. Even if they were only soldiers in the future, they were far superior to soldiers like them.
Originally, they thought that the soldier would greet them with a smile and flatter them after learning their identities. But to their surprise, he didn't show any flattery. Instead, he treated them like ordinary mortals. It could be seen that the Divine Secret Unit wasn't a simple place.
But this made Xing Jue have a good impression of the Divine Secret Unit of the Starfall Dynasty. It could be seen that the atmosphere of the Divine Secret Unit was pretty good, and a place like this was worth Xing Jue fighting for. With a trace of excitement, Xing Jue and the other two followed the crowd into the Divine Secret Unit.
The Divine Secret Unit's branch was basically a huge city. Not only was it where several tens of thousands of soldiers were stationed, it was also the training ground for several tens of thousands of soldiers. Apart from the orderly rows of pavilions, there was also an extremely spacious field in the branch.
However, this place where the soldiers usually trained had become the testing ground for Xing Jue and the others. There were a hundred circular arenas that were thirty meters tall and a hundred meters wide in the vast field. The test for Xing Jue and the others was very simple. They just had to fight on the arenas, and the last one standing would be the champion of the test.
However, there was a huge platform that was several meters tall in the middle of the hundred arenas. Several hundred soldiers stood below the platform, while several gorgeous tables were placed on the platform. A dazzling array of snacks and fruits were placed on the tables. Several dozen men in spiritual armour sat in front of the tables, and Yang Bin was among them.
However, the most eye-catching people in this group were the three men in the middle. They were three white-haired old men, but the space between their brows gave off a heroic spirit that even young people had.
The three of them were the rulers of this branch, the three captains. Furthermore, they had special identities, which were mortals from the Ironblood Continent, the Thunder Continent, and the Misty Continent.
Apart from these high-ranking captains who held military power, many soldiers of the Divine Secret Unit who did not have any posts had also come to watch the test. After all, the remaining one thousand people had been selected from over ten thousand people, and none of them were ordinary people. Once the test ended, they would be able to obtain Saint Stones and start cultivating. It would not be impossible for one of them to become a supreme powerhouse.
Of course, apart from the soldiers of the Divine Secret Unit, many officials of the county had also come to watch the test. Most of them were here to pass the time. As for the people of the imperial city, they did not have the leisure to watch this kind of competition. As long as they wanted to, it would be a simple matter for captains to exchange pointers in front of them.
The weakest of the captains was an intermediate Battle-Saint, and many of them had even reached the advanced Battle-Saint level. Such a battle was naturally much more exciting than a competition between mortals.
"Oh ~ ~ ~ ~"
Amidst the waves of cheers, the test of the one thousand people finally began. Two people stood on each of the one hundred arenas. They were all mortals from the mortal world, but they had one thing in common, and that was that they were all people with extraordinary talent.
"Young master Xing, pay attention to that man in black armour."
"His name is Hao Yan. He came from the Ironblood Continent, but he rejected the invitation. Instead, he relied on his own strength to get here."
"Along the way, all the mortals who fought with him were either injured or in a miserable state. His attacks are ruthless, but his strength is also extremely strong. In this test, I'm afraid that he will be our greatest enemy. If we meet him on the arena, we must be careful and not be careless." After the first batch of mortals went up the stage, Li Meixuan, who came from the Misty Continent, pointed at a man on one of the arenas and said to Xing Jue.
This was a man in black armour. His eyes were like those of a wild beast, and his entire body was emitting a baleful aura. It was fine if one did not pay attention to him, but as long as one looked at him, he would form a sharp contrast with the mortals around him.
Because with just a glance, one could see the difference between him and ordinary people. Compared to others, he was more like a bloodthirsty beast. At this moment, the mortal who was competing with him on the same stage had already vomited blood and fell to the ground.
"En, thank you for the reminder. But in the future, don't call me Young Master Xing. I, Xing Jue, have never been a young master. Just call me Xing Jue."
Xing Jue was very grateful towards Li Meixuan's reminder. He could see that Hao Yan was indeed very strong, at least much stronger than Tie Fan, who also came from the Ironblood Continent. However, only such an expert was worthy of being Xing Jue's opponent.
"Ironblood Continent, Tie Fan. Sky Martial Continent, Xing Jue. Stage 3, begin the competition! "
Just at this moment, a powerful voice that resounded through the entire arena suddenly rang out. It was summoning the people who were quietly waiting for the test to enter the arena and compete. However, what Xing Jue did not expect was that his first opponent was actually Tie Fan, who he had quite a bit of conflict with, and the arena number 3 was the arena that Hao Yan was standing on.
