At night, Xie Tian went to Ascension? He left quietly and returned not long after.
He did not hunt for merit, not because he wanted to conserve his strength, but because Xu Mang and the other three were not around.
"Looks like they know, too. They want me to prepare for battle …"
Xie Tian felt warmth in his heart. Although he only had a mutual relationship with the four of them, and their help was built on countless military contributions, he couldn't deny that Wang Tao would still be an unshakable mountain to him without the help of Xu Mang and the others.
"I still have two more manuals to learn …"
Not daring to waste any more time, Xie Tian began to study the manuals Xu Mang had sold him.
Although his cultivation was at Magical Power Realm Level 9, Xue Yan had described Wang Tao as terrifying. He would not underestimate his enemy, no matter how strong or weak they were.
Especially after his battle with Li Jian, he realized one thing: the stronger a person was, the more trump cards they had.
As the number one person in the matriculation camp, Wang Tao would become an enemy many times more terrifying than Li Jian, even if he exchanged his military merits for it.
While Xie Tian was immersed in his cultivation, Wang Tao was also frantically preparing for battle.
He had millions of military merits in his badge, and in just four to six hours, he had spent half of it in exchange for countless weapons and treasures from the skinny old man.
Wang Tao was currently sitting cross-legged, his body trembling violently and his forehead drenched in sweat. Not long after, the roar of a dragon and tiger could be heard from his body, and the veins on his exposed upper body suddenly bulged, showing off the strength of his body.
"Congratulations, boss, your body has broken through to Magical Power Realm Level 9!"
"As expected of the Dragon Blood Pill that's worth 200,000 military merits. Boss's body is definitely no worse than that Scheming Demon!"
…
Wang Tao was also somewhat satisfied with his body, but he shook his head. "Be it body tempering warriors or cultivators, before reaching Magical Power Realm, the body is divided according to the same realm, but once you break through to the Connate Realm, it's different."
His subordinates were puzzled.
"After the Connate Realm, body tempering warriors enter the Force Realm. The body of a Force Realm body tempering warrior far surpasses cultivators of the same realm."
"Boss, then your current body strength …"
Wang Tao assessed for a moment and said with a proud smile, "Even if he can't compare to Xie Tian, he's not far off!"
"Boss is mighty!"
"Hmph, a mere Xie Tian only knows how to play tricks!" Wang Tao released his aura, pressuring his subordinates to the point that they could not breathe. "In the battle tomorrow, I will let you see that my current status was not bestowed by my brother, but fought for with my own hands!"
At the same time, Luo Xiao received a report from his subordinates.
"What did you say?" Luo Xiao stood up in shock. "The Military Law Commission doesn't care about this?"
"Reporting to the Grand Commander, the people from the Military Law Commission said that the people from the Military Discipline Commission have been patrolling the Military Law Commission recently. They don't dare to do anything against the rules!"
When Luo Xiao heard that, he almost fainted from anger. He cursed in his heart, "I asked you to investigate Xie Tian. How did it become a violation of the rules? Damn it, what kind of person do you think I, Luo Xiao, am! "
At this moment, Tian Shang and the other three were walking out of the Military Law Commission. Behind them was the military supervisor of the Heaven Expansion Army, Tian Wucheng.
"Uncle Wucheng, there's no need to send us off. Let's go back." Tian Shang turned around and smiled.
Tian Wucheng nodded with a smile and returned to the Military Law Commission. As soon as he stepped through the gates, a bitter smile appeared on his face as he muttered to himself, "Sigh, when immortals fight, mortals suffer … Luckily, I'm going to be promoted in half a year. Who cares about the turbulent times …"
"Tian Shang, is that really your uncle?" Xu Mang and the other two clearly didn't believe him.
Tian Shang was speechless. "If he's not my uncle, would he listen to me?"
"Of course he listens to you. He's not your uncle!"
"He's from a branch of the Tian family, and I'm from the main branch. How can we be compared?" Tian Shang explained faintly, explaining the essence of the Central Plains' super aristocratic families. "I call him uncle because it's the glory of his family."
Chu Ming sighed. "You've guessed correctly. Luo Xiao really wants to use the Military Law Commission to deal with Xie Tian."
"He's really unscrupulous!" Zhang Jie shook his head in disdain.
Xu Mang gnashed his teeth. "If it were me, I would've charged into the Ninth Battalion and dragged Luo Xiao out to give him a good beating! A grand commander actually resorting to such methods to deal with a reserve sergeant? What a disgrace! "
Tian Shang sneered. "You could've easily disgust him without making a sound, but you insisted on making both sides suffer. Old Xu, if you want to enter the Seventh Battalion, you'd better put more effort into your strategy."
"Hmph, we're both the same, alright?" Xu Mang retorted. "If you want to enter the Seventh Battalion, you'd better put more effort into killing!"
Watching Xu Mang leave in a huff, Tian Shang shook his head with a bitter smile. "How many dogs did Old Xu step on to meet my little darling, Xie Tian …"
Chu Ming and Zhang Jie looked at each other and burst into laughter.
The sky gradually brightened, but the noisy matriculation camp was still as noisy as ever.
Everyone was still savoring Xie Tian's forty-third kill. It would've made them nauseous, but the forty-fourth kill had completely changed their views.
"As expected of the Demon King of Schemes!"
"Exactly! This kid is really sinister enough. He swindled Brother Tao without saying anything. Didn't you see Brother Tao vomiting blood at that time? "
"Nonsense. He spent nearly a million military merits on a defective spiritual weapon, and in the end, he made himself a terrifying enemy after forty-three kills. No one could accept that …"
"Tsk tsk, Wu Jing, the well-deserved number one in our matriculation camp, was killed in an instant. Not only is this kid scheming, but his strength is also terrifying …"
…
Although everyone still addressed Wang Tao as Brother Tao, there was less respect in their expressions and tone, and more mockery.
The reason they dared to mock Wang Tao was that Xie Tian had done it so well that even those who did not have a good impression of Xie Tian could not help but laugh at Wang Tao.
Time passed by in the anticipation of the crowd, and soon, it was time for the 45th match to take place.
Today, there was no battle on the battlefront.
This was because Xu Mang had forgotten to lure the monster, and because no one wanted to miss this kill even if they had to deduct ten military merits.
The area outside the kill ring was overcrowded.
In addition to the reserve soldiers, even the skinny old man had appeared. The reason for his appearance was simple. This kill was a selling point, and he wanted to earn some military merits.
As someone who dared to earn military merits from someone with a purple-gold military token, he would not let go of this opportunity. The old man slowly rose into the air and shouted, "Wang Tao will pay ten to one, and Xie Tian will pay ten to one. I will not cheat anyone or renege on my debt!"
"Five hundred military merits on Brother Tao!"
"It has to be Brother Tao!"
"I-I want to gamble. One thousand to buy a scheme … to buy Xie Tian …"
…
"Only reserve soldiers!" At a certain moment, the wizened old man slowly shouted in a certain direction.
"Damn it, this old man!"
Xu Mang unwillingly put down his token. He had wanted to buy Xie Tian for two million military merits, but the moment he took out his token and wanted to send a voice transmission, the old man wretchedly cut off Xu Mang's path to wealth.
"Haha, Dad is still as wretched as ever."
Tian Shang and the other two looked at the old man with smiles on their faces, but beneath their smiles was respect.
This respect was something they had gained after being promoted to the eighth battalion. The people of the ninth battalion did not have the qualifications.
"Brother Tao is here!"
The people around the kill ring immediately fell silent. In the next moment, those who had wanted to bet on Xie Tian changed their minds.
"Ten thousand military merits! I support Brother Tao with everything I have!"
"Yes! Win or lose, please support Brother Tao! "
…
"Good! As expected of my brother! "
Wang Tao laughed heartily, slightly restraining his aura. He then swept his cold eyes across the crowd and smiled proudly. "I, Wang Tao, will not let you down! Ten moves! Within ten moves, there will no longer be a person like Xie Tian in the matriculation camp! "
"Ten moves?"
A whisper with a hint of surprise sounded before the excited cheers of the crowd could be heard.
