From twenty miles away, Zhao Feng could see the outline of Guanjun Province City.
In the eyes of others, including Ye Linyun, who was at the ninth rank of the Martial Path, Guanjun Province City was just a small black dot. At most, it was a big black dot.
In the dimension of his left eye, the faint green light had extended to six feet three and a half.
This was also a measure of Zhao Feng's cultivation.
For some reason, ever since he had reached the sixth rank of the Martial Path, Zhao Feng found that his cultivation had slowed down, unlike other martial arts.
According to Ye Linyun, the ninth rank of the Martial Path was the limit of the human body, and the further one went, the slower the cultivation would progress.
The carriage soon entered the bustling city.
On the way, there was a lot of people and carriages.
Zhao Feng found that most of the youths in the city were Martial Disciples, and there were also Martial Cultivators.
This was not like the Green Leaf Village, where most of the adults were just normal people who hadn't reached the ninth rank of the Martial Path yet.
The buildings and market in the city were far from what Sun Feather City could compare with. On the way, Zhao Feng also learned a lot.
The carriage entered the depths of the city and finally stopped in front of a luxurious mansion.
Compared to this mansion, the Zhao Clan's mansion was like an old wooden hut, not even worth mentioning.
Just the gate alone could fit a few carriages at the same time.
What was more shocking was that the eight guards at the gate were all at least of the fourth rank of the Martial Path.
"Martial Cultivators of the fourth rank of the Martial Path are only guards here?"
Zhao Feng's eyes were dazed for a moment.
Coming from a small town, he had cultivated step by step until now, so he naturally knew how hard it was to become a Martial Cultivator.
Even in Sun Feather City, any Martial Cultivator was someone worthy of respect.
"This is the 'Guanjun Palace', the most powerful place in the city. Later, I will transfer you to the 'Sky Guards Battalion', that is where the geniuses are trained. "
Ye Linyun reminded.
Guanjun Palace! Sky Guards Battalion!
Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei were slightly nervous.
After the carriage entered the Guanjun Palace, most of the figures they met were martial artists. Along the way, Zhao Feng had already seen two or three Martial Masters above the seventh stage of the Martial Path.
Not long after, Ye Linyun brought the two to a wasteland full of potholes in the depths of the mansion.
For such a piece of barren land to appear in the luxurious Guang Jun Residence was very out of place, and it was even in the depths of the residence.
On this wasteland, there were many open-air tents and a few wooden houses.
Only the centermost area had a decent looking pavilion.
"This is the forbidden area 'Sky Guards Battalion', created by Lord Guanjun himself to raise geniuses. At the same time, this is the reserve camp for the Guanjun Corps. "
Ye Linyun led the two of them inside.
Heavenly Guards Battalion?
Are we going to stay in a place like this?
Zhao Feng looked at the wasteland. It was full of potholes and there were ten scattered wooden houses, most of which were tents.
This kind of environment couldn't even be compared to Green Leaf Town, let alone the Zhao family's private courtyard.
"Hehe, Master Ye, are these the two geniuses you brought this time?"
A white bearded old man walked over from the other side with a black clothed youth following behind him.
"Master Hu."
Ye Linyun smiled as he greeted the white bearded old man.
As they spoke, the white bearded old man's eyes casually glanced at Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei.
Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei instantly felt as if their bodies had been pierced through.
His heart skipped a beat, the white bearded old man's cultivation was probably no weaker than Ye Linyun's.
The Guang Jun Palace was indeed extraordinary. The chances of seeing two masters of the ninth rank at the same time was extremely small.
"He's called 'Huang Qi', a genius I found in Pearl Forest City. He's already reached the sixth rank at fifteen."
The white bearded old man smiled as he introduced the black clothed youth behind him.
Reaching the sixth rank at fifteen was considered a great talent even in the prefecture city.
The youth called Huang Qi glanced at Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei, but when his eyes landed on Zhao Yufei, he was slightly stunned.
The white bearded old man and Ye Linyun were both responsible for handing over the geniuses.
After sending the three to the Sky Guards Battalion, the two masters stopped their steps.
"Okay, Zhao Feng, I'll bring you here. Lord Guang Jun will come out of seclusion next month, when that time comes, you have to perform well … "
Ye Linyun said a few words before leaving.
As a master of the ninth rank, his time was extremely precious.
The white bearded old man also said to Huang Qi: "Lord Guang Jun is famous for his love of geniuses, especially young geniuses. You have to take this chance to change your fate."
"Yes, Master Hu."
Huang Qi took a deep breath, his expression solemn.
In this Country, Lord Guanjun was a legend of martial arts.
The Sky Guards Battalion was created by him, and if he cultivated here, not only would he receive the support of the Guanjun Palace, he would also have the chance to meet the legendary "Lord Guang Jun".
Zhao Feng and Huang Qi entered the Sky Guards Battalion's barren land.
On the way, they saw many youths of the same age.
Most of these youths were between the ages of twelve and eighteen. Most of them were under sixteen.
This meant that there were many youths of the same age as them.
"Twelve years old, third rank of the Martial Path …"
Zhao Feng was speechless.
The two youths that walked past him were only twelve years old, but they had both reached the third rank of the Martial Path.
One had to know that when Zhao Feng was twelve, he hadn't even stepped into the Martial Path yet.
Apart from that, there were some youths around fourteen who had reached the fourth rank, and there were even some who had reached the fifth or sixth rank.
This scene caused the originally arrogant Huang Qi's expression to turn serious.
"Are these three newcomers?"
The youths of the Sky Guards Battalion looked at the three curiously.
Most of their gazes landed on Zhao Yufei.
Zhao Yufei was a natural beauty. Her beauty was breathtaking and elegant. She was the center of attention no matter where she went.
"Look, there's a genius beauty."
Many youths appeared in the Sky Guards Battalion.
Looking at these new faces, some of them had a playful and playful look in their eyes.
Entering the Sky Guards Battalion, Zhao Feng and the other two felt immense pressure. It was obvious that the youths here were all elites.
"This should be the place."
Zhao Feng and the other two arrived at the building at the center of the Sky Guards Battalion.
They had just arrived at the Sky Guards Battalion, and they were here to report.
Entering the building, Zhao Feng found that it was completely empty. There was not a single person in sight.
"Are the three of you new here?"
A lazy voice sounded from behind them.
What!?
Zhao Feng felt a chill down his spine as he turned around to see a youth wearing a dark silver robe.
The three of them jumped in fright. How did he appear behind them?
Zhao Feng soon realised that this person's clothes were familiar.
He suddenly remembered that at the Genius Summit, he had seen a similar figure in dark silver fighting with an elder of the Qiu family. In an instant, the Qiu family's Grandmaster of the seventh rank of the Martial Path was beaten to the point of vomiting blood.
"I'm Third Guard, the person in charge of the Sky Guards Battalion. From today onwards, you are members of the Sky Guards Battalion. Now, I will announce the rules … "
The wooden youth was a man of few words. His words were simple.
The rules of the Sky Guards Battalion were strict.
Firstly, each member could only go out once a month.
Secondly, different people were treated differently.
Thirdly, you could fight here as long as you didn't kill or cripple anyone.
The first and third rules weren't hard to understand.
But what did the second rule mean?
That afternoon, Zhao Feng understood the reason.
Apart from the building in the middle, there were only ten wooden houses and tens of tents in the Sky Guards Battalion.
When Zhao Feng's group of three arrived, they were each given a tattered tent that was just big enough for one person to sleep in. It was very inconvenient for them to live and travel.
"We're going to sleep in a place like this?"
Huang Qi's eyes were filled with rage.
A tattered tent was barely enough to block the wind and rain, but it wasn't convenient to do anything else.
To think that he, the top genius of Pearl Forest City, was treated like this, how angry was he?
Zhao Feng's eyebrows also furrowed. It was fine if it was him, but Zhao Yufei was a girl, and a beautiful one at that. She was a bit of a clean freak. This tattered tent wasn't even enough for privacy, not to mention bathing.
Zhao Yufei bit her lips. Her eyes flickered, but she did not complain.
"It's easy for the newcomers to live in the wooden houses, you just have to defeat the original owner."
A skinny youth of the fifth rank of the Martial Path smiled as he walked over, giving them a 'friendly' reminder.
With this reminder, Zhao Feng and the other two turned their gazes toward the only ten wooden houses on the barren land.
Those wooden houses were numbered from one to ten.
They could imagine that the youths living in the wooden houses were the elites of the Sky Guards Battalion.
"Good, good! As long as I defeat the original owner, I'll be able to enjoy special treatment. "
Huang Qi couldn't help but rub his palms together.
His cultivation of the sixth rank of the Martial Path was considered high in the Sky Guards Battalion. Adding on the fact that he was the top genius of Pearl Forest City, he was extremely confident.
Evening.
A few guards of the Guanjun Palace brought food to the youths in the tents.
"Ptui! What kind of food is this? It's like feeding pigs. "
Huang Qi spat it out after taking a few bites.
It was too disgusting.
Zhao Feng also almost spat it out after chewing a few bites.
It turned out that the guards brought fresh food, and some of it was even rancid.
However, the three of them quickly noticed that the guards heading to the wooden house were all carrying plates of fine wine and delicacies.
"Fuck! This works too! "
Huang Qi cursed and stood up abruptly.
It was obvious that the youths that lived in the wooden houses all received special treatment.
"The youths that live in the wooden houses are called the 'Ten Sky Guards'. Normal youths get to eat fresh food, and they even have servants to serve them. Normal youths are given one thousand silver and blood pills a month, but the Ten Sky Guards get at least ten thousand silver, as well as all sorts of spiritual pills and resources. It's said that those that become the Ten Sky Guards have the chance to receive pointers from Lord Guanjun … "
The skinny youth from before had an unhappy expression as he described the difference between normal youths and the Ten Sky Guards.
Until now.
Zhao Feng finally understood the meaning of the second rule of the Sky Guards Battalion.
Different people had different treatment.
Here, only with strength could one obtain their own dignity and treatment.
"I want to challenge them!"
Huang Qi roared as he kicked the tent open, throwing away the food and ran towards the wooden houses of the Ten Sky Guards.
