Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7928

Chapter 7844: Participation in the War

Li Tianming certainly wouldn’t let this opportunity slip by.

His main purposes in coming to the Great Wall of the Corona Borealis were twofold.

First, to acquire the Entropy Source and incubate Xiao Shi.

Second, to gain opportunities for growth and become stronger.

As for reuniting with Li Qingyu and Ye Lingfeng at the Great Wall of the Corona Borealis, that was an unexpected bonus.

The Great Wall of the Corona Borealis possessed cultivation resources even surpassing those of the Republic of the Divine Heaven, with countless Star Palaces alone, making it a popular choice for those seeking higher realms.

Not to mention opportunities like the ‘Ascending the Heavenly Bridge,’ which were coveted by countless people, providing Li Tianming with the opportunity to achieve his second goal.

While the Republic of the Divine Heaven was slightly inferior in resources, it offered shortcuts for those with powerful backgrounds, allowing for easier access to concentrated resources.

Li Tianming didn’t have this opportunity, and even if he did, he wouldn’t choose it easily.

His path to imperial power started from the people; he had to be grounded and fight for it with his own abilities to ensure a stable path!

When Li Tianming first entered the Primordial God Realm, he experienced the problem of his Great Dao cracking due to using a large amount of Primordial Great Dao, a consequence of taking shortcuts.

Later, through practice, listening to the Dao, and learning from the experience of his predecessors, he repaired the cracks in his Great Dao.

Meanwhile, at the very center of the training grounds, after announcing the matter, Wang Zhenjiang looked around.

Facing everyone in the recruit town, he spoke loudly: “Next, each beacon school is responsible for the registration of their respective training grounds. Before the meeting adjourns, please hand over the lists to me. All soldiers of Recruit Town 1262, you may begin registration in an orderly manner!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the recruits in the various training grounds of the training grounds began to stir.

“Xuanqing Beacon School, I want to register!”

“Me too!”

“Jingzhen Beacon School…”

Various voices rose and fell in the various training grounds.

It seemed that these recruits were very enthusiastic and eager to participate.

Among them, a large number of the geniuses from the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War were also eager to try.

As a prominent figure in the recruit town, it would be surprising if Li Tianming didn’t sign up.

Furthermore, Hun Qing and several other geniuses also registered, writing their names in the booklet prepared for Wang Xuanqing.

Seeing these young faces, Wang Xuanqing earnestly advised,

“While your courage and enthusiasm are commendable, I must tell you a reality to avoid a significant disappointment later. With your current strength, you’ll likely only be eliminated in the first round of the recruit martial arts tournament; don’t even think about achieving any results.”

“Why? Our strength isn’t inferior to some of the senior recruits,” one genius said.

Wang Xuanqing smiled and shook his head, patiently explaining, “Don’t think that winning against the weaker recruits will qualify you for rewards. That only increases your chances of becoming a formal member of the Great Wall Immortal Army. This competition, after all, has no age limit; it’s not a genius battle like the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War you’re participating in.”

The geniuses exchanged glances, seemingly unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

After all, some less powerful warriors could indeed match them, which could lead to an inflated ego.

Of course, those who could achieve this level were basically among the top few in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War.

“Xuan Qingfeng, could you tell us about the approximate level of our opponents? We’d like to be mentally prepared,” Hun Qing said sincerely.

Wang Xuanqing sighed slightly, saying helplessly,

“Forget it, rather than damaging your confidence later, it’s better to let you experience the harshness beforehand.”

“In reality, many of these participants are over 500,000 years old, and they are completely different from the ordinary soldiers you’ve seen.”

“Based on previous years, roughly a hundred billion people signed up, and those who made it into the top 100 were basically all over 500,000 years old, and of very high birth.”

“These people are basically descendants of powerful figures from the Great Wall of Martial Immortals or other forces. With their top-tier talent, bloodline, and resources, plus their long cultivation time, they are simply not your match, at least not now.”

Li Tianming, upon hearing this, fell into deep thought, then looked at Wang Xuanqing, “Since they are all so powerful, do they still need to participate in the recruit competition?”

“Indeed, those who reach this level usually joined the military very early, became officers long ago, and were able to enter the Heavenly Bridge long ago, so there aren’t many of them.” Wang Xuanqing paused, then added, “However, there are at least tens of thousands of top-tier beings blocking your way, some of whom are already at the Great Ruins Realm, or even higher!”

“What?”

“Great Ruins Realm?”

His words caused a stir among the soldiers, and everyone’s pupils shrank.

“Great Ruins Realm beings are participating in the recruit competition?”

“Isn’t this a bit too much of a bullying?”

someone said indignantly.

“What bullying? There’s no age limit, and to correct you, the Great Ruins Realm is just the general level of the top group; there may actually be even stronger ones.” Wang Xuanqing said irritably.

“Great Ruins Realm… then aren’t they almost on par with Feng Xiao?” Li Tianming was somewhat surprised.

“More than that! There are actually many recruits stronger than Feng Xiao.” Wang Xuanqing leaned back in his chair, casually crossing his legs. “After all, you all know that the Great Wall of the Martial Immortal North Crown is promoted based on battle merits, seniority, and strength. Even if someone’s strength is heaven-defying, if their battle merits don’t increase, they’re still just a soldier, still in the recruit town.”

“That ruthless?” Li Tianming exclaimed in astonishment.

He was only at the sixth level of the Evolution Realm. Even if his combat strength was amazing, he would be lucky to reach the weakest batch of Eternal Realm cultivators. But his opponent in the recruit martial arts tournament might actually be a Great Ruins Realm cultivator!

A Great Ruins Realm cultivator with a Cosmic God’s body is at least ten light-years away. This was indeed a bit frightening for Li Tianming and other geniuses.

Seeing that everyone was extremely shocked, Wang Xuanqing smiled and said, “I know you all have great talent. Perhaps some of you will reach the age of 500,000 and your strength may be considerable, but it’s useless here. It doesn’t recognize that, it doesn’t recognize the future, it only recognizes the present.”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present looked worried.

“Sigh, these opponents are too strong.”

“The chances of getting the biggest reward are almost nonexistent.”

“If only we had grown a bit more, maybe we would have had the chance to compete.”

Most people felt unwilling and were lamenting.

Wang Xuanqing smiled and said, “Do you want to regret it? It’s not too late to cancel your registration. I haven’t submitted the list yet.”

“No!”

“Since we’ve signed up, there’s no reason to be cowards!” Instead

, everyone was even more eager for the recruit martial arts tournament, their eyes burning with anticipation.

“One round and it’s one round, it’s good to see the world.”

“If we don’t succeed this time, we’ll try next time. If that doesn’t work out, we can just watch others compete as spectators, what’s the big deal?”

The soldiers chattered amongst themselves, seemingly dispelling their previous disappointment.
