It was exceedingly difficult to master a third rank martial skill, especially the first one.
Under normal circumstances, it would take at least thirty years for him to train his first third change martial art to completion. If it were someone else in the God Paradise, it would be a hundred years, or even three hundred years. However, he had stayed on the fourth floor of the martial skill tower for about three months. Calculating it by a hundred times, it would be more than three hundred months, which was exactly thirty years.
Of course, this was the first Third Revolution Martial Art. Before he created it, he didn't have any experience. Now that he had the experience, it should be easier for him to create a second Third Revolution Martial Art.
Clang Clang Clang!
On the tenth floor of War God Tower, Ye Chen finally exchanged blows with the Demons Sword King. He wasn't instantly killed.
This Demons Sword King's strength was frightening to the extreme. The huge black sword in his hand was like a huge cutting machine that could cut through the stars in the universe. With a flash of black light, anything would be cut apart. Most importantly, the opponent's eyes were closed, as if he wasn't going all out. Just like this, every time Ye Chen blocked, his body would shake and blood would spurt out.
The ninth move …
Puff!
Ye Chen was cleaved into two and shattered into nothingness.
"Powerful!"
Ye Chen couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. In terms of strength, the Demons Sword King was already a peak battle emperor, while he himself had entered the ranks of mid battle emperors.
Leaving the War God Tower, Ye Chen arrived at the Survival Tower.
After an hour, Ye Chen walked out.
This time, he passed the ninth floor and arrived at the tenth floor, earning him a whole hundred thousand shenbi.
"Huff! Let's go drink. "
In God Paradise, everyone would only occasionally enjoy delicacies. Eating or not eating was of no importance to them. Life and Death Kings no longer needed food to sustain their lives. However, everyone liked to drink wine. Ye Chen spent at least several thousand shenbi on wine every year, and occasionally, tens of thousands.
There weren't many people in the tavern, so Ye Chen happily drank.
"Ye Chen, you're here too!"
A voice was heard. It was Liu Di.
"Liu Di, sit."
Ye Chen pointed at the seat opposite him.
Liu Di sat down and took the magma wine that Ye Chen handed to him. He took a big gulp and said, "I haven't had this in a month. It feels good."
"Ye Chen, there's still ten months until the next hunt. Will you be fine after that?" Liu Di asked.
"Nothing much. What's wrong?"
The Sun Essence Extreme Transformation had already reached the large success stage, and Ye Chen was indeed fine. As for increasing his cultivation, it was not something that could be done in a day, nor was it something that could be done in a year or two.
"How about going to the Black Tortoise Galaxy with us?"
Liu Di said as he drank.
"Black Tortoise Galaxy?"
Ye Chen's eyebrows twitched.
"Right, the Black Tortoise Galaxy has the most experts. Led by the Demons, the evil races have invaded many planets in the Black Tortoise Galaxy. They often engage in wars with us humans. In order to motivate people to join the war, the human race has long since implemented the military strategy. The Demons are the same. The so-called military strategy is the military rank promotion system. There are nine ranks in total: low soldier, mid soldier, high soldier, centurion, minor commander, major commander, commander, general, and marshal."
"Unless one's cultivation base has reached the seventh sky of Life and Death Realm, anyone who joins the army starts from a low soldier. Kill ten low soldiers and you'll become a mid soldier. Kill twenty mid soldiers and you'll become a high soldier. Kill fifty high soldiers and you'll become a centurion. Kill one minor commander and ten centurions and you'll become a minor commander. Kill one major commander and five minor commanders and you'll become a major commander. As for becoming a commander, it's even more difficult. You'll have to kill two commanders and ten major commanders. As for general and marshal, that's a military rank for titled monarchs. No matter how strong we are, we can't become generals or marshals."
Liu Di continued to explain.
Ye Chen said, "Seems like military rank promotion is very difficult!"
"Isn't that so? The first three military ranks are still fine, but once you become a centurion, it will be difficult to get promoted to a minor lieutenant. To become a minor lieutenant, you will have to kill ten centurions. Most importantly, a centurion is not alone. He has a hundred and eighty soldiers by his side. Even if you are stronger than the enemy centurion, you may still be surrounded and killed."
Liu Di seemed to have experienced this as he nodded vigorously.
As he spoke, Liu Di took out a badge and said with a smile, "Look, this is a centurion badge. Don't look down on this badge. You can get a discount in the military store. Moreover, joining the army also gives you a salary. A centurion gets three thousand yuan stones a year. It's not much, but it's still quite a lot after accumulating. In short, there are many benefits."
"Do many people from the Paradise of Gods join the army?"
Ye Chen asked.
Liu Di nodded, "That's right. Basically, all the Martial Monarchs and Combat Emperors have joined the army. The one with the highest ranking is the Martial Monarch. He's already a commander-in-chief. Tsk, tsk, a commander-in-chief. Divine Saber Monarch and Vermilion Bird Monarch are commander-in-chiefs, and they can also lead a thousand men."
"When are we going to the Black Tortoise Galaxy?" Ye Chen felt that it was necessary for him to take a look. Every man had the dream of becoming a soldier, and he was no exception.
"Three days later!"
… …
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
The seven members of the Exorcist Troop gathered together.
To travel from the Paradise of Gods to the outer universe, one had to take the Ship of God, and it cost one hundred shenbi per person.
Hu ~
The Ship of God took off, flying towards the Black Tortoise Galaxy.
As they chatted, Ye Chen learned of the six's military ranks. The Myriad Arrow Monarch had the highest military rank, a minor commander-in-chief. Liu Di, Zhang Yinyin, Sima Fei, and Yuanhong were centurions. Lu Wenjie had only joined the army for two years, and he was a superior soldier.
Sima Fei drank his wine while confidently saying, "I've already killed ten centurions. As long as I kill one minor commander-in-chief, I can become a minor commander-in-chief."
"I'm still a long way off. I've only killed five centurions." Zhang Yinyin said helplessly.
"You're much better than me. I've only killed three centurions."
Yuanhong grinned.
The Myriad Arrow Monarch laughed, "Fighting a war requires not only martial strength, but also intelligence. You're not weak, but you only know how to kill indiscriminately. You don't know how to lead a troop to kill the enemy."
Yuanhong scratched his head, "Can't help it. This isn't my strong point."
Thousand Arrow King chuckled, then turned his head and said to Ye Chen, "This is your first time joining the army, so stay with us. Liu Di and the others are all centurions. You can choose any one of them to follow."
"En."
Ye Chen nodded. A centurion could lead one hundred soldiers at most, and Lu Wenjie was Sima Fei's subordinate.
The God Ship pierced through space, faster than any puppet battleship. In a short while, it arrived at Black Tortoise Galaxy and stopped on a huge planet.
"Let's go!"
The group of seven flew toward the nearest military planet.
Black Tortoise Galaxy had ten military planets, each guarded by one of the ten great marshals. The seven headed toward the Gold Armor Planet guarded by Marshal Golden Spear.
The Gold Armor Planet was a bit bigger than the Fire Bird Planet, having a diameter of thirty million li. There were countless experts there, and even a hundred Fire Bird Planets couldn't compare to it. It should be known that only Life and Death Kings could join the army. Sea of Soul realm warriors didn't even have the qualifications to join the army. Normally, a great marshal could lead five million soldiers, which meant five million Life and Death Kings. The Kings of Elysium couldn't even compare, having only a thousand Kings.
Of course, the reason why there were so few Kings in Elysium was mainly because the people inside couldn't come out. Life and Death Kings had a lifespan of a hundred thousand years, but in Elysium, it was only a thousand years. If Kings in Elysium also had a lifespan of a hundred thousand years, then there would be at least tens of thousands of Kings.
The four great life starfields had four to five thousand life planets, and the population of each planet was no less than that of Elysium. Four to five thousand life planets were equivalent to four to five thousand mid-grade worlds. The number of Kings could be easily imagined.
Soon, the seven arrived at the Gold Armor Planet.
There was only one city on the planet where one could join the army, and it was called the Armor City.
It was a palace on the west side of the city, where Life and Death Kings would enter from time to time.
"So many Kings!"
It was Ye Chen's first time seeing so many Life and Death Kings gathered in one place.
"Are you guys here to join the army?"
The nearest registrar asked.
Thousand Arrow King said, "We've already joined the army. This time, we're here to bring him." He pointed at Ye Chen.
"Alright!" The registrar looked at Ye Chen and said, "Do you want to be an off-staff soldier or an in-staff soldier?"
Ye Chen asked, "What's off-staff and what's in-staff?"
"Off-Staff soldiers can leave the army at any time without any notification. In-Staff soldiers have to stay in the army and obey orders. If they don't obey orders and leave without permission, they will be punished according to military law. Of course, in-staff soldiers enjoy better treatment, while off-staff soldiers are much worse. Their pay is also less."
"Ye Chen, you're an off-staff soldier."
Liu Di reminded.
"I'm an off-staff soldier." Although being an in-staff soldier was good, it didn't give him much freedom.
The registrar nodded, "You can start now. Remember, don't fill in any false information."
The registration was very simple: name, age, current cultivation base, and origin. Apart from that, one also had to leave an image in the recording crystal.
After the registration, the registrar gave Ye Chen a badge.
"This is a low-ranking soldier badge. It needs to be refined with blood." Pausing for a bit, the registrar continued, "There are a hundred camps in the Gold Armor Planet, eighty-two of which are in-staff, and eighteen are off-staff. You can only go to the off-staff camps. You can ask your friends which ones are off-staff. I don't need to tell you."
Outside the palace, seven people walked on the street.
Sima Fei said, "In-Staff soldiers pay particular attention to discipline and follow orders. Off-Staff soldiers are more free, and can choose any troop they want. Of course, everyone here is a Life and Death King, not an army composed of ordinary martial artists. At the crucial moment, there won't be any problems."
Ye Chen nodded. An army composed of ordinary martial artists required too much discipline, because they were closer to normal people and had all kinds of negative emotions. Once there was no discipline, it would be disastrous. However, an army composed of Life and Death King warriors would not have this problem, since they knew what to do at the right time.
In other words, a Life and Death King warrior was like a dragon, and a group of Life and Death King warriors were like a group of dragons.
