The mirrors shrank, faded, and disappeared one after another.
Figures appeared in the hall one after another, surrounded by a strong murderous aura.
They had just left the small space of the Demonic Territory and had just escaped from the massacre.
"Unfortunately, 15 of you have died." The voice of the first general of the Hidden Dragon Tribe was as cold as the winter snow. "You must remember that demons are cruel. There is no chance of survival when facing them."
Everyone was shocked. 15 of them had died.
For 245 people, 15 might not be a big proportion, but this was only a test. Even the test was so dangerous. What would happen if they really entered the Earth Demon Abyss?
Then, they were asked to release the black light spots they obtained after killing the demons. They were ranked according to the size of the light spots.
A black light spot for a first rank demon was one point.
A black light spot for a second rank demon was five points.
That was a five times increase.
Soon, the ranking of the top 10 was out.
"Number 10 … Wang Wenqi, 1000 merit points, one Essence Demon Elemental Elixir."
"Number 9 … Zhan Honghu, 2000 merit points, two Essence Demon Elemental Elixirs."
"Number 8 … Bian Wuxie, 3000 merit points, three Essence Demon Elemental Elixirs."
"Number 7 … Fu Qingling, 4000 merit points, four Essence Demon Elemental Elixirs."
"Number 6 … Lin Chao, 5000 merit points, five Essence Demon Elemental Elixirs."
"Number 5 … Chen Zong, 6000 merit points, six Essence Demon Elemental Elixirs."
Many people were surprised to hear that Chen Zong was number 5.
The test of killing demons in the small space of the Demonic Territory had nothing to do with talent. The most important thing was one's strength.
Chen Zong's cultivation was not high. He was the lowest among all the candidates, only at the Fourth Tier of the Mortal Realm. Although he was not weak, there was still a gap between him and those who were at the Eighth or Ninth Tier of the Mortal Realm.
Among the 200 candidates, there were more than 10 who were at the Eighth or Ninth Tier of the Mortal Realm.
But Chen Zong was number 5, which was shocking.
"Number 4 … Yuan Hanzhong, 7000 merit points, seven Essence Demon Elemental Elixirs."
"Third place … Mei Luoxiang. Reward: 8,000 contribution points, eight Essence Devil Elemental Pills, and rank two soldier."
Everyone was shocked again. Other than the merit points and Essence Demon Energy Pill, the third place also had an additional reward of a second-grade soldier. This meant that Mei Luoxiang's military rank was directly promoted from first-grade to second-grade.
"Second place … Xiao Jinglong. Reward: 9000 contribution points, nine Essence Devil Elemental Pills, second grade soldier."
"First place … Yan Jingming. Reward: 10,000 contribution points, 10 Essence Devil Elemental Pills, second grade soldier."
"The reward will be given to you after you join the five armies."
One thousand or even ten thousand merit points were nothing to most people. After all, they were all experienced Demon Hunters. However, the Essence Demon Energy Core was not bad. The biggest reward was the top three, rank 2 Sergeant.
To be promoted from a first grade sergeant to a second grade sergeant required five ninth grade military merits, which usually required several years of hard work.
Then, it was time to decide where these people would belong to. Whether they would join the First Army, Second Army, Third Army, Fourth Army, or even Fifth Army, and which department they would belong to after joining. Would they belong to the War Dragon Tribe, the Thorn Dragon Tribe, or the Hidden Dragon Tribe, etc.
The others were easy to arrange, and there was no need to ask for their opinions. They could only agree. However, the top ten were more popular and fought over.
"The War Dragon Tribe of the First Army only wants Chen Zong. You can have the rest," a high-grade war-general from the War Dragon Tribe of the First Army said again.
"The Thorn Dragon Tribe also only wants Chen Zong."
One person spoke, and the others followed suit. A new round of fighting began.
For a moment, many people's eyes fell on Chen Zong. Chen Zong also felt helpless.
Some of these people were envious, while others were jealous. Why wasn't he the one being fought over?
"Our army can give Chen Zong, a third-grade soldier, a chance to enter the Devil Refining Platform."
"Hmph, he's only a third-grade soldier. Our army can also give him two chances to enter the Devil Refining Platform."
In the end, there were signs of a big fight.
"That's enough, everyone." The number one war-general of the Hidden Dragon Tribe had to speak up to suppress the voices of the crowd. However, no one paid attention to him. He had no choice but to shout again, "The number one general has given an order."
The moment the words "number one general" rang out, everyone fell silent. It was as if everyone was being strangled.
These four words seemed to have an indescribable magical power.
"Chen Zong will enter the Devil Slaying Division." The number one war-general of the Hidden Dragon Tribe announced the order. Immediately, all the war-generals trembled. Their pupils contracted and widened in shock.
The Devil Slaying Division!
Chen Zong and the others didn't know what was going on because they had never heard of the Devil Slaying Division.
"The Devil Slaying Division …" Tang Guao's lips trembled. He had overestimated his junior brother's ability, but he didn't expect that he would be chosen by the Devil Slaying Division.
However, when he thought about it carefully, Chen Zong's various abilities and talents had long surpassed the other Demon Suppression Sergeants. Only a place like the Devil Slaying Division, where monsters gathered, was suitable for him.
For a moment, besides being shocked, the war-generals also felt relieved.
The Devil Slaying Division!
The war-generals gave up on fighting for Chen Zong and turned to fighting for Xiao Jinglong and Bian Wuxie.
Although they weren't ranked first, their potential and talents were unquestionable.
As for Yan Jingming, he was ranked first because his cultivation had reached the peak of the Ninth Level of the Extreme Mortal Realm. He wasn't young either, so he had sufficient strength.
Excluding Chen Zong, even if the others fought for him, it wouldn't be so intense. It would be easier to arrange. Before long, everything was settled.
"Senior brother, what kind of place is the Devil Slaying Division?" Chen Zong couldn't help but ask.
"I didn't tell you before because for a long time in the future, it would be difficult for you to come into contact with the Devil Slaying Division." Tang Guao sighed. "I just didn't expect your performance to be so shocking."
"The Devil Slaying Division has a joking name: Monster Concentration Camp." When Tang Guao said this, he didn't sound amused at all. Instead, he sounded serious. "There aren't many people in the Devil Slaying Division, but each one of them has abilities that others don't have. They far surpass the other Demon Suppression Sergeants. In this world, there are thousands of creatures. It's hard to say if there are some with unique abilities.
"The Devil Slaying Division is controlled by the First Titled General. The First Titled General is an Emperor. It's said that he's not inferior to the Five Great Generals."
Following Tang Guao's explanation, Chen Zong gained a deeper understanding of the Demon Slaying Department, and his curiosity grew.
Before long, someone came to take Chen Zong away. They were going to enter the Devil Slaying Division.
The Devil Slaying Division was also located in the Demon Suppression Barracks, but it was underground.
"You're Chen Zong, right? What kind of special abilities do you have?" The person who led Chen Zong was a skinny young man. His eyes were dark and bright, as if he was curious about everything. He started talking as if they were close. Without waiting for Chen Zong to reply, he said, "I'm Xiang Liang. I entered the Devil Slaying Division a year earlier than you. I have the ability to create a True Replica."
"True Replica …" Chen Zong muttered to himself. It seemed easy to understand from the name alone, but he couldn't really explain it without seeing it with his own eyes. "I don't have any special abilities. I just have a good comprehension ability."
"You're chosen just because of your comprehension ability …" Xiang Liang's curious eyes narrowed slightly. Then he smiled. "Chen Zong, it seems that your comprehension ability is very shocking."
"It's not bad," Chen Zong said with a smile.
This was the first time they met. Even though Xiang Liang acted friendly and even told him what his abilities were, Chen Zong didn't believe him so easily. Thus, he told him everything.
However, Chen Zong didn't lie. He really didn't have any special abilities.
Since Xiang Liang was so friendly, Chen Zong took the opportunity to ask about the Devil Slaying Division.
"The Devil Slaying Division is different from the Demon Suppression Army. There are only four ranks: Lower Division, Middle Division, Senior Division, and Head Division." Xiang Liang didn't intend to hide anything. He explained to Chen Zong one by one. "If we compare the ranks of the Demon Suppression Army, a Lower Division is equivalent to a low-grade war-general, a Middle Division is equivalent to a mid-grade war-general, a Senior Division is equivalent to a high-grade war-general, and a Head Division is higher than all titled generals and is on par with a general."
Hearing this, Chen Zong was shocked.
The ranks of the Demon Suppression Army were sixth-grade sergeants and third-grade war-generals. Above them were titled generals.
Under normal circumstances, it would take at least 50 years for a Demon Suppression Army Sergeant to advance from first-grade to sixth-grade. It was hard to say how long it would take to advance to a low-grade war-general, but it would take at least 100 years.
But now, as long as one entered the Devil Slaying Division, they would become a Lower Division, which was equivalent to a low-grade war-general.
"The Devil Slaying Division is different from the Demon Suppression Army. It doesn't give out a fixed amount of merit points, but there is a fixed amount of merit points allocated each year."
"A Lower Division's merit points allocated each year is 100,000 merit points, which can be accumulated."
"A Middle Division's merit points allocated each year is 1,000,000 merit points, which can be accumulated."
"A Senior Division's merit points allocated each year is 5,000,000 merit points, which can also be accumulated."
"In addition, a Lower Division's merit points allocated in advance for two years, a Middle Division's merit points allocated in advance for five years, and a Senior Division's merit points allocated in advance for ten years."
"A Lower Division's merit points allocated to enter the Devil Refining Platform once a year, a Middle Division's merit points allocated to enter the Devil Refining Platform twice a year, and a Senior Division's merit points allocated to enter the Devil Refining Platform three times a year."
Chen Zong listened carefully, memorizing every word Xiang Liang said. He was shocked. He had heard clearly that the Second War-General of the First Army had given him a chance to enter the Devil Refining Platform to cultivate as a third-grade sergeant. This opportunity was precious.
"Oh, right. After entering the Devil Slaying Division, you have to make a choice. Do you want to fight or defend?"
"If you fight, you have to go out on missions. If you defend, you have to stay in the Devil Slaying Division to study, such as improving the Third Seal or other secret and forbidden techniques."
"If you have a high level of comprehension, I suggest you choose to defend. It's quite safe."
"We'll talk about it later." Chen Zong smiled.
"Oh, right. What's your cultivation level?" Xiang Liang suddenly asked because he couldn't see through Chen Zong's cultivation level. He couldn't even feel the fluctuations of his aura.
"Fourth-grade." Chen Zong released the fluctuations of his spiritual power.
"I'm higher than you." As he spoke, Xiang Liang also released the fluctuations of his aura. He was at the seventh-grade, which was indeed higher than Chen Zong's. Moreover, his aura was very pure. If they fought, Chen Zong didn't know if he could defeat him.
