Chapter 124 - 111: Getting Rich_3
“Yan Lei, three-star normal innate talent.”
“Fang Tian, two-star peak innate talent.”
“Jiang Yingyu, one-star innate talent.”
“Yun Bufan, four-star normal innate talent.”
“Lin Yang, no innate talent.”
Five voices rang out almost simultaneously from different directions.
“Just started, and there is already a good sign. It seems like the final results won’t be too bad.”
Lu Yun’s gaze fell on Yun Bufan, whose innate talent was four-star normal, and a hint of a barely noticeable smile appeared on his face.
“Junior Brother Lu, what do you think of these youngsters?”
At this moment, Wang Yuhao, who was beside him, suddenly smiled and asked.
“They are the future forces of the Martial Academy and the backbone of our resistance against the Demon Beasts.” Lu Yun casually responded, his attention once again returning to the youngsters who were testing their innate talent.
Seeing Lu Yun’s absent-minded appearance, Wang Yuhao couldn’t help but guess a few things, and the smile on his face grew even more.
“Junior Brother Lu, are you in dire need of Contribution Points or, to be more precise, cultivation resources?”
Lu Yun replied without hesitation, “Of course 1 am, and I’m in great need.”
“Haha, since Junior Brother Lu is so in need, 1’11 be happy to recommend you a good place.”
Lu Yun’s eyes flashed as he asked, “Where?”
“Monster Extermination Army.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yun’s eyes narrowed.
In addition to the provincial magistrates guarding the borders and the ordinary army suppressing the Thirteen Provinces, the Morigin Empire had two more special armies.
These two armies were the Demon Suppression Army and the Monster Extermination Army!
The Demon Suppression Army was responsible for dealing with sects that had been expelled from the Morigin Empire.
More than eight hundred years ago, there were conflicts between aristocratic families and various sects in the Nine Provinces.
After the founding of the Morigin Empire, all sects were expelled from the Nine Provinces and established their schools in the depths of the wilderness. After hundreds of years of development, they gradually grew in strength.
To prevent these sects from growing and counterattacking the Nine Provinces, the Demon Suppression Army was established to sweep and suppress the power of the sects.
As for the Monster Extermination Army, it was another special army, even larger and more powerful than the Demon Suppression Army.
The duty of the Monster Extermination Army was to continue driving out Demon Beasts and expanding the wilderness.
“To tell you the truth, after General Zhuang breaks through to the Rune Seed Realm, he will be transferred to the Monster Extermination Army to take up an important position, and 1 will also follow General Zhuang to the wilderness to expand the territory. If Junior Brother Lu is willing, you can join us and 1 can guarantee you a position as a commander.”
“Senior Brother Wang, you must be joking. I am only in the True Qi Realm, how am I qualified to hold the position of commander?”
A deep and mysterious smile appeared on Wang Yuhao’s face as he said, “A Heavenly Pride who can comprehend conceptions in the True Qi Realm is indeed qualified to be a commander, especially since Junior Brother Lu has comprehended the Slaughter Conception, an existence born for war.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yun’s eyes slightly narrowed.
“Haha, Senior Brother Wang, you have discerning eyes, but 1 have no plans to join the Monster Extermination Army for the time being.”
Wang Yuhao did not get discouraged but continued, “Junior Brother Lu, do you know how much reward you can get for killing a third-rank Demon Beast in the Monster Extermination Army, or how much for killing a fourth-rank Demon Beast?”
Lu Yun shook his head.
Wang Yuhao continued, “Nearly a third of the resources in the Morigin Empire are invested in the Monster Extermination Army. Pills, spirit crystals, cultivation techniques, weapons, armor, etc., are all given priority. In the future, you can not only make meritorious deeds but also become kings and nobles!”
Lu Yun remained unmoved.
As he was now, dealing with a single fourth-rank Demon Beast was already difficult enough. If he were to join the Monster Extermination Army, he would face not just one such beast, but dozens, even hundreds of them, as well as fifth-rank, sixth-rank, and even higher-ranked Demon Beasts.
When he thought back to the frightening Green-Scaled Giant Eagle, Breeze Grey Wolf, and other fifth-rank Demon Beasts from half a month ago, he still felt a lingering fear.
The terrifying Black-pupiled Demon Bull and Green Pupil Demon Ape made his heart tremble even more.
Therefore, he would not join the Monster Extermination Army until he had grown stronger.
Seeing Lu Yun’s demeanor, Wang Yuhao knew the outcome and couldn’t help but sigh lightly.
It was disappointing that he couldn’t persuade such a genius who had comprehended the Slaughter Conception at such a young age and with such cultivation, especially since Lu Yun had once saved his life.
Lu Yun didn’t directly refuse but tactfully said, “Senior Brother, if I achieve success in Martial Arts in the future, I will definitely join the Monster Extermination Army under your command.”
“Alright, just having Junior Brother’s promise is enough.” Wang Yuhao heavily patted Lu Yun’s shoulder.
“Baili Yi, five-star peak innate talent.”
Suddenly, a high-spirited voice rang out, instantly attracting Lu Yun’s attention.
This was a youth in black clothing, with bright eyes. Facing the envious, jealous, and other complicated gazes, he always maintained a calm demeanor, neither arrogant nor impatient, just looking back at the bustling crowd outside the square.
In the bustling crowd, a Martial Artist with a full face of beard had tears in his eyes.
“Baili Yi?”
Among the group of youngsters, Gu Yuan, who was dressed in a tiger skin beast robe, was quite eye-catching, and various unusual gazes fell on him.
However, he didn’t pay any attention to the gazes of others, just staring at Baili Yi for a while.
“Seeing the reactions of these people, it seems that a five-star peak innate talent is quite amazing. I wonder what my innate talent is?” Gu Yuan pondered.
Soon, it was his turn to test.
Coming to the table, Gu Yuan curiously looked at the human-head-sized, semi-transparent Innate Talent Stone in front of him.
Following the actions of the others earlier, he stretched out his right hand and slowly pressed it against the Innate Talent Stone.
The moment his palm touched the stone, a dazzling blue light burst forth, and the light gradually intensified, illuminating the entire square..
