The Ancient City was divided into Soldier, Celestial Soldier, Celestial General, and Heavenly King. These were the ranks set by the Ancient City Hall. Only those who had been recognized by the Ancient City Hall were qualified to have these identities.
Even though Yang Wu's performance in the arena was amazing, killing many Celestial Soldiers and defeating Celestial General Yue Gou, he still couldn't obtain the Ancient City Hall's recognition.
Yang Wu didn't really care about this identity. He just wanted to know the whereabouts of the Mysterious Essence Qi. He wanted to know if it was in the Ancient City Hall and how much it was worth.
When the Ancient City Hall asked him to verify his identity, he agreed without hesitation.
The moment he agreed, the environment in the hall changed.
The three-faced head spoke again, "Defeat ten soldiers in the first round. You have the right to challenge the Celestial Soldiers."
These ten soldiers were puppets. They were all inanimate objects. They were clad in battle armor and wielded Saint Weapons as they charged towards Yang Wu.
Yang Wu thought that these ten puppets would fight with their lives on the line. Unexpectedly, they stood in different positions and formed a formation to attack him.
With ten people in a formation, the power of the battle would be even stronger.
The puppets had different attacks. They reached the power of the Holy Realm. In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of Yang Wu. They wanted to cut Yang Wu into pieces.
Their attacks weren't slow, but in Yang Wu's eyes, they were just so-so. He moved his body and attacked the ten puppets continuously.
Bang! Bang!
Yang Wu's strength was very strong. He continuously attacked with his palms and sent them flying.
Yang Wu thought that he had won, but they bounced back and attacked him again.
"They're so hard. Do I have to destroy them to pass?" Yang Wu wondered.
In the next moment, Yang Wu discovered the vital points of the puppets. There was a special energy fluctuating in their hearts and between their eyebrows. Perhaps as long as he hit those two places, he would be able to repel the puppets.
Thus, Yang Wu attacked again. He hit the puppets' hearts and between their eyebrows with his palms.
Bang! Bang!
A series of muffled sounds rang out as the puppets exploded one after another.
Their hearts and eyebrows were indeed their weaknesses.
After the ten puppets died, the voice of the three-faced giant head sounded again, "Do you want to pass the next stage?"
"Charge!" Yang Wu answered simply.
"Defeat a low-level Heavenly Soldier and you'll pass."
Another puppet appeared. It was no longer a human, but an alien. It was an alien that was good at speed. As soon as it appeared, it raised its hammer and smashed toward Yang Wu.
Its flying speed was extremely shocking, comparable to the speed of a third-level Starmark Realm. In the blink of an eye, it landed on top of Yang Wu's head and smashed its sharp hammer down on Yang Wu's head. The sharp aura exerted great pressure on people. Ordinary first-level Saints might not be its opponent.
Such a test could be used against ordinary Saints, but it was not difficult for Yang Wu.
Yang Wu didn't even try to dodge. Instead, he raised his fist and punched his opponent's hammer.
Its hammer was sent flying, and at the same time, a leg whipped towards the center of its eyebrows.
The puppet was easily destroyed by Yang Wu's kick.
"Pass. Do you want to continue taking the intermediate Heavenly Soldier test?"
"Accept."
Five low-level Heavenly Soldiers and an intermediate Heavenly Soldier puppet appeared. They formed a formation again and attacked Yang Wu.
Yang Wu easily passed.
These puppets weren't weak. Even the Heavenly Soldiers of the various battalions would have to put in a lot of effort to defeat them. Yang Wu could easily take them down. Yang Wu's physical strength was too strong, and his instincts were too strong. Even a peak Saint might not be his match now.
Once he had profound qi, he would be able to fight a God-level expert.
Yang Wu passed all the way and directly arrived at the low-level Heavenly General test.
Yang Wu asked, "If I stop the test, how long will it take before I can take the next test?"
"It will take a month," the voice replied.
"Alright, then let's continue the challenge," Yang Wu replied.
He didn't want to expose too many of his abilities. He was afraid that being noticed by the living beings here wouldn't be good for him.
However, the next test would take a month. This time was a little long for him. He had to raise his level as soon as possible and understand the whereabouts of the Mysterious Essence Qi.
Yang Wu rushed to the top-level Heavenly General Realm in one go and destroyed eight puppets that had reached the top-level Heavenly General Realm.
At this point, Yang Wu was a little afraid.
If he continued, would it cause a huge commotion? This made him feel a little uneasy. He decisively gave up on continuing.
"Bestowed with a top-level Heavenly General Token. You can obtain the second and third stages of the Void Tempering Technique." The voice sounded, and a power of inheritance flew towards his glabella.
Yang Wu didn't resist. He accepted the inheritance and the token that flew over.
If others wanted to obtain the Void Tempering Technique, they had to make sufficient contributions. However, they didn't expect to be rewarded directly by passing the test.
Perhaps the soldiers here were aware of this rule, but who would dare to challenge a puppet when they weren't strong enough?
Wasn't that courting death?
There were people like Yang Wu who could become a top-level Heavenly General the first time they came to the Ancient City Hall, but they were definitely existences that were rare.
Every one of them was a top-level monster. Basically, they all became Heavenly Kings and went to the God Realm in the end.
Yang Wu obtained the second and third stages of the Void Tempering Technique, but he wasn't surprised at all. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to act rashly. He was afraid that the living beings here would notice.
Yang Wu held the Heavenly General Token in his hand. It didn't look like a token. It looked more like a badge. The word "Void" was engraved on one side, and the word "General" was engraved on the other side. It looked like gold, but it wasn't gold. It looked like jade, but it wasn't jade. It was very strange.
"I want to see more of the list of items to exchange." Yang Wu said.
"Infuse your power into the Heavenly General Token, and you can find the items you want on the list." The voice replied.
Yang Wu did as he was told.
When Yang Wu infused his power into the Heavenly General Token, the names of tens of thousands of materials appeared in front of him.
These materials were herbs, pills, battle weapons, battle skills, strange items, and more. There were all kinds of things that Yang Wu wanted. It was an eye-opener.
"Level 1 Golden Godly Armor, both attack and defense. 10,000 Godly Contribution Points."
"Seven Wounds Godly Fist, 10,000 Godly Contribution Points."
"Jade Essence Pill, 30,000 Godly Contribution Points."
"Level 5 Soul Seal Technique, 50,000 Godly Contribution Points."
…
Yang Wu looked at these materials and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
These were basically all God-ranked materials, and the Contribution Points required to purchase them were also different. Sacred-ranked items basically had no status in this place. Or rather, they were equivalent to trash items. They could be found everywhere, and as long as one had enough Contribution Points, one could easily exchange for them.
Yang Wu finally found the whereabouts of the Mystic Essence Qi.
"Emperor Jade Essence Qi, 1,000,000 Godly Contribution Points."
"This is definitely the Emperor Jade Essence Qi. I can't be wrong." Yang Wu stared at these words and thought excitedly.
However, the Contribution Points required were not cheap. 1,000,000 Godly Contribution Points was equivalent to 1,000,000 high-grade Godly Stones.
High-grade Godly Stones weren't the same as mid-grade or low-grade Godly Stones. Even a Heavenly King wouldn't be able to easily gather such a price.
This price was equivalent to the price of leaving the Divine Firmament battlefield.
Although Yang Wu's martial strength was not bad, he didn't know how long it would take to gather 1,000,000 high-grade Godly Stones. He also didn't know how many Godly items he would need to contribute.
However, he wasn't too worried. After all, he was a god-apothecary. As long as he showed off his skill in pill concocting, he would be able to easily collect a million contribution points from the soldiers. That way, it wouldn't be difficult for him to acquire the imperial jade's profound energy.
After making up his mind, Yang Wu quickly left the ancient city hall. He didn't exchange for the items that would tempt him. Now wasn't the time to reveal more trump cards. He had to take things one step at a time.
After Yang Wu left the ancient city hall, he held the Celestial General Medallion in his hand. After hesitating for a while, he still hung it on his chest. Sometimes, when it was time to be high-profile, he had to be high-profile. It could save him a lot of trouble. If he kept being low-key, people would think he was easy to bully.
When Fei Qing and Fei Ya saw Yang Wu come out of the hall, they immediately walked over. When they saw the shiny medallion on Yang Wu's chest, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
It was a Celestial General Medallion, and a top-grade one at that.
This meant that Yang Wu's status in the ancient city had become one of the strongest people in the ancient city. He had the highest status.
Apart from the eight leaders and a few other people, there weren't many people who could compare with Yang Wu.
After all, after becoming a Heavenly King, they would leave very quickly. They wouldn't stay here for too long.
"Why are you in a daze? Go back." Yang Wu called out to them.
"Greetings, Lord Celestial General." After Fei Qing and Fei Ya came back to their senses, they bowed together.
"Why are you being so polite?" Yang Wu was a little uncomfortable.
Although he was their commander, he didn't feel that they were very respectful to him. Now, he could feel it.
"Congratulations on becoming a Celestial General. Our Empress Battalion finally has another Celestial General. This is great." Fei Qing smiled.
"Right, now Commander Mi will become the Third Commander, and you will be our Second Commander," Fei Ya said from the side.
"Don't say that. You will hurt Commander Mi's feelings." Yang Wu stopped them from continuing.
Fei Qing continued, "Commander Wu may not know this, but our ranking here will be based on Gu City's Palace. Your current rank is higher than Commander Mi's, so you will replace her. She will not have any objections, and neither will any of us."
"That's right. The recognition of the Ancient City's Palace has authority here. As a commander, it is enough to make the other leaders pay attention. There are no more than twenty people who can compare to you." Fei Ya said.
"There are so many people in the Ancient City's Palace. How can there be so few top-grade Celestial Generals?" Yang Wu asked, confused.
"There are many Celestial Generals, but there are very few top-grade Celestial Generals. After reaching this step, they will wholeheartedly break through to the Heavenly King level. Then, they will pay enough contribution points to leave for the God Realm."
"Tell me, how did you get here?"
