The Ten Sky Guards appeared one by one and the geniuses started to discuss.
"Why did the manager of the Sky Guards Unit call us here?"
"I heard that Lord Guanjun will be coming out of seclusion in a month, I wonder if it has anything to do with this."
Some of the smart youths already had their guesses.
The Sky Guards Unit had always been an independent organization in the Guanjun Palace. There were two purposes for this organization: to nurture geniuses and to provide new blood for the Guanjun Guards.
The founder of this organization was Lord Guanjun himself.
"Everyone is here."
A calm voice rang out in the pavilion.
Shua!
The eyes of the youths blurred and a young man appeared at the head of the table.
"Greetings Lord Third Guard."
The youths of the Ten Sky Guards all bowed, including Feng Hanyue. Their eyes were filled with respect.
Third Guard was a code name that represented the dull youth. It was also the code name of the Guang Jun Guards.
Everyone knew that Lord Guanjun had eighteen Guanjun Guards under him. They were hidden in the shadows and helped Lord Guanjun. They were also sent to various places to gather information.
Any one of the Guanjun Guards was a Martial Dao Master and even the weakest of the eighteen guards were stronger than normal Martial Dao Masters.
The Guanjun Guard that had appeared at the Sun Feather Summit was ranked seventeen and had beaten the Qiu Family Elder to a pulp.
Third Guard was ranked third in the Guanjun Guards and his strength was unfathomable.
"You should all know that Lord Guanjun will be coming out of seclusion in a month."
The young man spoke succinctly and went straight to the point.
We know! Of course we know!
The youths nodded with anticipation in their eyes.
Lord Guanjun was a legendary figure in the Cloud Country. He had been unrivalled in the world for tens of years and his name had even spread to the neighboring countries.
"I have news to announce: Lord Guanjun will be taking in core disciples and he might choose one or a few of you."
The young man revealed a rare look of envy.
Lord Guanjun is taking in core disciples?
As soon as he finished speaking, all the youths present exclaimed in excitement. Their faces were flushed with excitement and yearning.
If a normal cultivator could see Lord Guanjun, they would die with no regrets.
If he could get Lord Guanjun's guidance, that would be a dream come true.
Becoming a direct disciple of Lord Guanjun was something that he didn't even dare to dream of.
After all, Lord Guanjun was the most powerful person in this land and it was said that he had touched upon the Martial Saint realm …
Zhao Feng's face also revealed a look of excitement. Looks like coming to the Guanjun Palace this time was indeed the right choice.
Here, he could interact with elites from all over the world and make friends with those at the peak of the Martial Path. Now, he even had the chance to meet the legendary Lord Guanjun.
"There's still one month left! In this one month, you must make ample preparations. For this reason, the Sky Guards Battalion will provide you with a chance to experience actual combat. "
The corners of the young man's mouth curled into a smile as he spoke.
Experience?
What kind of experience was that?
Everyone was puzzled, but they were also filled with anticipation.
Being in the Sky Guards Battalion, they had plenty of opportunities to spar and learn from one another, but they had very little experience in actual combat.
"Recently, there has been a group of bandits roaming around the borders of Guanjun City. They are all at least Martial Warrior level and are extremely fierce. They are suspected to be scouts from the neighboring 'Maple Fire Country'. Your mission is to exterminate this group of bandits and protect the safety of the nearby villages. "
The young man explained.
Bandits? Enemy country scouts?
The youths present were all puzzled, but most of them had an eager look in their eyes.
"Third Guard, why didn't the Guanjun Palace send troops and martial artists to eliminate these bandits?"
Lei Cong asked with a calm expression.
"Good question!"
The young man explained: "These bandits are very cunning and they roam around everywhere. Some even disguise themselves as normal citizens. If we send troops, it will be very difficult to eliminate them and the efficiency will be very low … Therefore, the Guanjun Palace has given this opportunity to you youths."
Hearing this, Zhao Feng couldn't help but have a look of understanding.
The Guanjun Palace gave this mission to the youths of the Sky Guards Battalion to give them a chance to experience actual combat.
"I hope that through this battle, you will be able to unleash more of your potential. The Guanjun Palace has set up a reward. Every time you kill a Martial Path Fourth Rank bandit, you will get 1 battle point, killing a Martial Path Fifth Rank bandit will give 2 battle points … Killing the bandit leader will give 20 battle points! Those who are at the top of the rankings will get extra rewards! "
The young man continued.
"May I ask, what is the use of battle points?"
One of the youths asked.
"With the battle points, you can go to the Treasure Hall and exchange them for martial arts manuals, treasures and even weapons … For example, 1 battle point can be exchanged for a five hundred year old blood ginseng, 10 battle points can be exchanged for a top tier martial arts manual. 50 battle points can be exchanged for a half Holy martial arts manual. "
The young man replied.
At the end, the group of youths felt their blood boil. They were extremely excited, and they rubbed their fists.
Top tier martial arts manual! Half Holy martial arts manual!
All the youths present were captivated.
All of the youths present more or less knew a top tier martial arts manual, but it was limited to attack, movement or mental cultivation methods.
Therefore, top tier martial arts were very tempting to all of them.
As for half Holy martial arts, that was even more so.
Although a Half Saint Martial Technique was not a true Saint Martial Technique, it was a complete set of Martial Techniques that surpassed the peak.
There was an incomplete Holy martial art in the dimension of Zhao Feng's left eye, but it wasn't even as useful as a peak ranked martial art, let alone a half-Holy martial art.
Moreover, he could exchange for other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Divine Weapons, and Sharp Weapons with many uses.
"Killing a few bandits will give us battle points to exchange for something so precious. Looks like the Guanjun Palace is determined to nurture the youths of the Sky Guards Camp. "
Zhao Feng thought to himself.
He was naturally looking forward to this mission.
Especially with the existence of his left eye, it would definitely increase his chances of survival in battle.
"The mission will begin in five days, you should all prepare yourselves!"
The young man explained a few more details before announcing the end of the meeting.
After the meeting, the news spread throughout the Sky Guards Camp.
This mission was targeted at the entire Sky Guards Camp, not just the ten Sky Guards.
Of course, the ten Sky Guards would be the leaders in this mission.
In the next few days, the members of the Sky Guards Unit started to meet up with each other, forming small teams to share the spoils of the mission.
The stronger teams included Lei Cong's team and Lu Xiaoyu's team. Each team had seven to eight people and all of them were Martial Artists.
Of course, there were also lone wolves, such as the number one of the ten Sky Guards, Feng Hanyue.
Feng Hanyue was the only Martial Dao Master among the youths. His strength alone was greater than an entire team.
Zhao Feng had just joined the Sky Guards Camp and was considered a newcomer, so he formed a team with Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi.
Zhao Feng's team naturally couldn't compare to Lei Cong and Lu Xiaoyu's team.
But Zhao Feng was confident that his battle points would be among the best.
A few days before the mission, Zhao Feng went into seclusion to cultivate.
After absorbing the energy of the thousand year blood ginseng, Zhao Feng ate a thousand year blood lingzhi.
Three days later.
The Inner Strength in Zhao Feng's body had increased by almost half. His cultivation had reached a new peak.
In the dimension of his left eye, the light green spiral had extended to six feet and ninety-five inches.
At this time, Zhao Feng only had one thousand year blood bamboo left, but he didn't eat it rashly.
First, if he ate too many treasures, the effect would be reduced, not to mention that he hadn't fully absorbed the energy of the thousand year blood lingzhi.
Second, Zhao Feng wanted to use the remaining thousand year blood bamboo at a critical time. If it could help him break through to the seventh rank of the Martial Path, that would be the best.
"My cultivation has reached the peak of the sixth rank, but I'm still a bit away from the peak."
Zhao Feng calculated in his heart.
Thus, he was looking forward to the upcoming mission.
Through actual combat, especially life and death battles, one could greatly stimulate one's potential.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
The pleasant surprise was that Zhao Yufei had broken through to the sixth rank two days ago. Of course, Zhao Feng's five hundred year blood ginseng and Blood Accumulating Pill played a role, but Zhao Yufei's talent also played a key role.
That morning.
The geniuses of the Sky Guards Battalion that had reached the fourth rank and above split into small groups and left the Guanjun Palace.
Zhao Feng, Zhao Yufei, and Huang Qi's group were also among them.
"Brother Zhao Feng, is your true cultivation only at the peak of the fifth rank?"
Zhao Yufei questioned.
She was very clear about Zhao Feng's cultivation speed when they were in the Zhao Clan.
Now that she had broken through to the sixth rank, how could Zhao Feng still be at the peak of the fifth rank?
Hearing this, Huang Qi's expression also changed.
"That's right, this isn't my true cultivation."
Zhao Feng didn't hide it, and a dense aura spread out from his body.
Peak of the sixth rank!
Huang Qi and Zhao Yufei both felt a trace of pressure.
Zhao Feng's aura was extremely dense, and gave off even more pressure than a normal peak of the sixth rank.
After releasing his aura, Zhao Feng activated his [Withered Tree Breathing Technique], controlling it to be at the initial sixth rank, keeping the same level as Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi.
Zhao Feng revealed his true cultivation aura to let his teammates have a general understanding of his true strength, so that they could trust and cooperate better.
Now that he was hiding part of his aura, it was to hide his leading position in the team, so that he could catch them off guard during the mission.
Five days later, everything was ready.
Zhao Feng and the other two left the Guanjun Palace, and after travelling for a few days, they finally reached the buffer zone at the border of the Guanjun Palace.
This was a complicated area, bordered by the Sky Cloud Forest, and there were rivers, mountains, and a few small towns in between.
However, this area was also accessible to the neighbouring "Maple Fire Country", so it was difficult to distinguish between bandits and scouts.
"Once we leave this town, we will enter the dangerous area where the bandits and scouts roam."
Zhao Feng opened the map and started to discuss with Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi.
"Hehe, Miss Yufei, are you interested in joining my team?"
A clear laughter sounded.
Zhao Feng and the other two looked over, only to see Lu Xiaoyu leading a team of seven to eight people, passing by.
