However, the blade didn't manage to chop down. Just as the Pan Shan Blade was about to fall, the woman stretched out two fingers and accurately pinched the blade. Her strength was so strong that the Pan Shan Blade that was moving like lightning suddenly stopped.
She looked at Lu Ye with a pair of bright eyes and revealed a satisfied expression. She kept nodding and said, "Very good. You are indeed qualified. I didn't make a mistake coming here."
Lu Ye frowned. The long blade in his hand shook and broke free from her grip. He drifted back and asked, "What do you mean?"
"What do I mean?" The woman smiled. Then, her smile disappeared. She took out a token and waved it at Lu Ye from afar. She shouted, "I am the captain of the Thunder Battle Fort's Hunting Camp, Team A3, Du Qingsha. I am now recruiting you to join my team to kill the enemy!"
Lu Ye's eyes couldn't help but twitch.
In fact, he had already vaguely thought of this just now.
The Hunting Camp was a special existence in the Thunder Battle Fort. At the same time, it was the backbone of the Thunder Battle Fort's resistance against the outsiders from the Star Abyss. This was because if one wanted to join the Hunting Camp, the minimum requirement was to cast the Dao Foundation and enter the Dao Realm. Cultivators without the Dao Foundation didn't have this qualification.
The Hunting Camp gathered almost eighty percent of the Thunder Battle Fort's high-end forces. They were divided into small teams and hunted the enemies on the frontline.
This Du Qingsha was clearly not an ordinary Dao Realm cultivator since she could be the captain of a small team. Judging from the might of her attack just now, this woman was at least a Fourth Dao Realm cultivator. Of course, such a person was qualified to be a captain.
The two people who had been fighting fiercely earlier, but were now standing not far away to watch the show, were undoubtedly her teammates. She had obviously heard some rumors, so she deliberately came here to test Lu Ye's strength, and then wanted to recruit her.
This was troublesome!
During this period of time, Lu Ye had taken action many times. Although he saved the lives of some Thunder Battle Fort cultivators, he didn't have any interactions with them because he had to protect Jiuyan.
But he didn't expect that he would still attract Du Qingsha.
As the captain of the Hunting Camp, she had the right to recruit people. According to the rules of the Thunder Battle Fort, Lu Ye couldn't refuse her recruitment.
In the case of refusal, that would be avoiding a fight. In the current Starry Sky environment, consciously avoiding a fight was intolerable to all cultivators. At that time, Du Qingsha would only need to report back to the Thunder Battle Fort, and that Lu Ye would become the target of all Starry Sky Cultivators.
If he was really alone, then so be it. If he was wanted, then so be it. When the time came, he could just find a secluded corner to hide, and no one would be able to do anything to him.
However, Jiuyan still needed to cultivate on the battlefield. If Lu Yeye took her to a remote place to hide, Jiuyan would never be able to cast her Taoist foundation.
Should he kill the three of them? Lu Ye dismissed the thought as soon as it appeared. He was confident that he could take care of the other two cultivators in armor who were watching the show nearby, but this Du Qingsha … he was somewhat unable to see through her.
"Interesting, you want to kill me?" Du Qingsha suddenly raised her eyebrows and looked at Lu Ye with interest.
"There's no such thing. Senior Du, you've misunderstood," Lu Ye replied calmly.
This woman … her perception was very strong. His killing intent had only flashed by for a moment, and it wasn't strong, but she had actually sensed it.
"There's no such thing as a misunderstanding. You have two options now!" Du Qingsha raised a finger. "One, join my team, and I'll lead you to kill enemies. Two, refuse my recruitment, and then I'll kill you. You can try and see if you can escape."
When she said this, Du Qingsha's face was filled with eagerness, as if she couldn't wait for Lu Ye to say no.
Lu Ye cupped his fists. "It's my honor to be chosen by Senior Du and specially recruited. I'm willing to join Senior Du's team and live and die with you." Since he couldn't refuse, then he could only join.
"At least you know your place!" Du Qingsha nodded in satisfaction.
"But …"
"You can state your conditions. Be my team member, and I can give you anything you want as long as you're obedient!"
Lu Ye originally wanted to state other conditions, but since she said this, then …
"I want the right to enter the Enlightenment Pond!"
Du Qingsha blinked and then cursed. "You're dreaming. Enlightenment Pond, do you know the price you have to pay to enter the Enlightenment Pond? If you want to enter the Enlightenment Pond, you have to kill enemies with me. If you kill enough, you'll naturally have enough battle merits! "
Lu Ye was just casually mentioning it. Of course, he knew that Du Qingsha wouldn't agree to such a condition.
He took a step back and said, "Then I hope to be recommended by Senior Du!"
Du Qingsha was a leader of the Hunting Camp. Her strength wasn't bad, and her status wasn't bad either. People like her had the right to be recommended. With her recommendation, not only would they have the right to enter the Enlightenment Pond first, but the amount of battle merits they needed would also be greatly reduced.
Du Qingsha frowned and sized him up. "You've already entered the Dao, so you don't need the Enlightenment Pond. Is this prepared for someone else?"
"Yes!" Lu Ye nodded.
Du Qingsha thought for a while, then suddenly raised her hand. "Get over here!"
With a command, the two cultivators who were watching the show from afar quickly flew over.
The three of them gathered together and communicated with their divine senses. Lu Ye didn't know what they were talking about, so he quietly waited on the side.
After a while, Du Qingsha said, "I can give you the recommendation. Also, I just calculated that with the battle merits of the three of us, we should be able to enter the Enlightenment Pond once. If you need it, you can use it! But first, I'll say that the battle merits are borrowed from you. You have to return it to them later. "
Lu Ye couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't have a good impression of Du Qingsha at first because she wasted a few strands of his Dao Energy. At this stage, Dao Energy was the foundation of one's cultivation. It wasn't easy to cultivate it.
Moreover, Du Qingsha's way of doing things was very overbearing. He didn't like it.
But since she was willing to do this, what else could Lu Ye say?
"Why me?" He couldn't help but ask.
Du Qingsha couldn't help but snort. "Don't think too highly of yourself. The main thing is that there are too few cultivators from the Three Dao on the battlefield. You just happen to meet my requirements. My A3 team is the most elite team. It's better to have nothing than to have something substandard. Do you understand?"
"Alright." Lu Ye touched his nose and bowed solemnly. "No matter what, I have to thank you first, Senior Sister and Senior Brothers!"
With the battle merits of the three of them and Du Qingsha's recommendation, Jiu Yan would be able to get a chance to enter the Enlightenment Pond. It would solve his urgent need.
After a while, Lu Ye led the three of them to Jiu Yan and explained the situation to her.
Jiu Yan naturally knew that she couldn't refuse the invitation of the Hunting Camp's captain. Also, she wasn't suitable to act with Lu Ye at the moment. She was just surprised that Lu Ye was invited by the Hunting Camp. As far as she knew, Lu Ye's strength was inferior to hers. She had been cultivating all this time and didn't know that Lu Ye's strength had changed so much.
It wasn't until Lu Ye displayed his own Dao power that Jiu Yan realized that Lu Ye was already one step ahead of him in terms of Dao cultivation. For a moment, he had mixed feelings. He was happy for Lu Ye but also ashamed of his own incompetence.
Jiu Yan wasn't a wishy-washy person. At this point, the only thing she could do was to accept Lu Ye's kindness and build her Dao foundation as soon as possible.
The group headed back to the Thunder Battle Fort without stopping for a rest.
In just a few days, they arrived at the Thunder Battle Fort and entered.
Lu Ye didn't need to be involved in the following matters. Du Qingsha would take care of it. Her status here was much higher than Lu Ye's.
Half a day later, Du Qingsha found Lu Ye, who was waiting somewhere. "It's all arranged. However, your woman will have to wait for two months before she can enter the Enlightenment Pond."
There were too many people who wanted to enter the Enlightenment Pond. Even with Du Qingsha's recommendation, they still had to wait for a while. It wasn't as if they could enter right away.
Of course, Lu Ye could understand and thanked her again.
"Is there anything you need to prepare? If so, hurry up!" Du Qingsha looked at the other two.
These two were the ones who had put on a show to lure Lu Ye out. They were a man and a woman. The man was called Xu Rong, the owner of the human-shaped armor. The woman was called Snake Lady, and she was wearing the snake-shaped armor. She was just like her name, with an enchanting figure, soft as if boneless, and a gorgeous face. Only her tongue was like a snake's forked tongue. She was a snake demon of the Demon Clan.
After a few days, although Lu Ye didn't get to know them well, at least he had some understanding of them.
Including Lu Ye, the four of them made up the entire Team A3.
Originally, there was another one. However, he died in the battlefield not long ago. Therefore, Du Qingsha wanted to recruit a new member. Coincidentally, she heard about Lu Ye's existence and went to try. In the end, Lu Ye's performance really met her requirements.
No matter Xu Rong or Snake Lady, they were both cultivators of the Three Daos. As for Du Qingsha, she was a cultivator of the Five Daos. In terms of strength, she was much stronger than Xu Rong and Snake Lady.
Facing Du Qingsha's question, Xu Rong smiled. "There's nothing to prepare. My head is on my belt. There's nothing but my life!"
"Then let's go!" Du Qingsha waved her hand and took the lead to fly out.
Xu Rong and Snake Lady followed closely behind. Lu Ye looked back one last time and followed closely behind.
He hoped that the next time he came back, Jiuyan could enter the Dao Realm.
The four of them quickly left the Thunder Battle Fortress and entered the battlefield.
Lu Ye keenly noticed that compared to when he entered half a year ago, the edge of the battlefield had obviously expanded. This was undoubtedly the result of the erosion of the Star Abyss's aura.
And there were many such battlefields in this part of the starry sky.
In the long run, sooner or later, the entire starry sky would be flooded by the Star Abyss's aura. By then, there would be no more peaceful places.
Suddenly, something flew in front of him. Lu Ye stretched out his hand and caught it.
Du Qingsha's voice sounded beside his ear. "Previously, you lost your Dao power. This should be able to make up for it. Refine it along the way."
Lu Ye looked down and saw a chopstick-length white bone in his hand. Looking at its shape, it should be the upper arm bone of an arm.
"Dao foundation?" Lu Ye raised his eyebrows.
Whether it was a cultivator of the starry sky or an outsider of the Star Abyss, after entering the Dao Realm, they would choose a part of their body as their dao foundation. It could be their internal organs, bones, or even a piece of flesh. This would be the most important part of their body. This was because the dao foundation would carry the Dao power obtained from cultivation. Once it was lost, the dao foundation would be destroyed.
Generally speaking, everyone would choose a piece of bone because the bone was the hardest. The bone in Lu Ye's hand should be the carrier of some outsider's dao foundation. It was also known as the dao bone. (End of Chapter)
