Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7929

Chapter 7845: The Four-Light-Year Dragon Star Puppet

“Alright! Then we’ll see how you perform then, let others see the spirit of my soldiers!” Wang Xuanqing said with a smile. “Losing isn’t scary, what’s scary is being discouraged and losing the courage to keep going. You’ll have more opportunities in the future, so keep this positive attitude. If you don’t let down the present, the future won’t let you down.”

His words were met with enthusiastic responses from the young geniuses and many soldiers echoing his sentiments.

“Well said!”

“We understand, Xuanqing Fengxiao.”

“We can only say we’ll do our best in this competition, but we will never embarrass you like cowards!”

“Exactly!”

“…”

The little interlude ended, and everyone waited silently.

There were too many applicants, and registration took a considerable amount of time.

Time passed, and all the Fengxiao schools finally finished compiling their own registration lists and handed them over to Wang Zhenjiang.

Wang Zhenjiang announced the registration details at the last minute.

“Our entire 1262 recruit town has tens of thousands of people, of whom ten thousand have signed up.”

“And across all the recruit towns, totaling tens of millions, a staggering hundreds of billions have registered!”

This is an incredibly terrifying number!

Even the reserve troops who haven’t yet been officially enlisted number in the hundreds of billions, demonstrating the immense strength of the Great Wall of Martial Immortal North Crown.

Of these hundreds of billions who have registered, only the top hundred will have the opportunity to ascend the Heavenly Bridge.

This shows how precious the opportunity to ascend the Heavenly Bridge truly is.

After registration, the various training grounds and recruit towns are still buzzing with discussion about the recruit martial arts tournament.

It’s clear that this recruit martial arts tournament is extremely grand and attracts a great deal of attention.

Not only are the soldiers paying attention, but many important figures are also noticing this event.

After all, some of the participants might be their children.

Even if they don’t, they can still use this opportunity to select outstanding talents to cultivate as trusted confidants.

Therefore, this recruit martial arts tournament is not only a chance for soldiers to ascend the Heavenly Bridge, but also an opportunity for them to showcase their potential!

In this way, geniuses like Li Tianming had to give it their all and showcase their strength.

Talent wasn’t important here; geniuses wouldn’t receive special treatment, but strength was always the hard currency.

As long as they could make it, regardless of age, they would have a bright future.

This was the characteristic of the Martial Immortal Northern Crown Great Wall.

Having just registered, everyone remained in their respective training grounds.

Wang Xuanqing, hands behind his back, walked across the Xuanqing Training Ground and coldly addressed the crowd, “The list has been submitted. Soon, someone will be sent to conduct the first round of selection. For efficiency, this first round will likely eliminate 99% of the people; only the top 1% will actually compete for the rankings. Be prepared.”

“Top 1%?”

“Such a high requirement!”

“By the way, what kind of selection method will it be?”

The soldiers discussed amongst themselves.

“You’ll find out when the time comes,” Wang Xuanqing said calmly.

…

The next day.

Wang Xuanqing led everyone away from the Xuanqing Training Ground.

They arrived at a place called ‘Zhenhui Square’.

It was an extremely spacious area, very close to the very center of the recruit town. In

the 1262 recruit town, all the registered soldiers had gathered, a sea of people stretching as far as the eye could see.

Most of those who hadn’t registered had also come, drawn by the excitement and curious to see the selection process.

*Whoosh*

—Just as they arrived, a Sumeru starship swiftly flew in from afar!

“This must be the ‘New Martial Arts Pavilion’ that Xuan Qingfeng mentioned, specifically in charge of the recruit martial arts tournament,” Li Tianming remarked.

The New Martial Arts Pavilion was established specifically for the recruit martial arts tournament, almost solely for its purpose, and its leaders were specially selected.

*Whoosh!

* The Sumeru starship kicked up a cloud of starlight, finally landing steadily in the very center of the town’s square.

A man emerged from it.

Everyone looked on curiously.

He was a man with a silver beacon emblem on his shoulder. He had thin lips and long, narrow eyes; he was quite handsome, yet possessed a peculiar air.

This kind of appearance naturally gave off an impression of detachment.

And reality seemed to confirm this; he was indeed very indifferent.

Wang Zhenjiang was also in the center of the town square, and he immediately went to greet him.

“Feng Yunfeng, these are the new recruits who signed up for our 1262 recruit training camp,” Wang Zhenjiang said with a smile.

Qian Fengyun was this person from the New Martial Pavilion.

“Hmm,” he responded indifferently.

Despite being a rank lower, he showed no respect whatsoever to Wang Zhenjiang.

In a situation of rank difference, being too indifferent is tantamount to an offense, which was unusual.

However, Wang Zhenjiang seemed completely unconcerned, simply standing aside.

“Who is this guy? So arrogant? A mere Fengxiao doesn’t even respect a town general?” Li Tianming was somewhat surprised.

“His name is Qian Fengyun. He’s said to be the son of a martial immortal, with a very high status. A town general seems to mean nothing to him,” Aurora introduced from the side.

“Looks like a second-generation military officer, no wonder…” Li Tianming laughed.

Qian Fengyun’s gaze was cold as he swept his eyes over the approximately ten thousand people present.

Then, he spoke calmly:

“I will be in charge of the first round of selection for the recruit martial arts tournament.”

“Next, you will face the star puppets I brought for the selection, namely the ‘Dragon Star Puppets.’”

“Only those who can defeat them will pass the first round of the recruit martial arts tournament.”

Having said this, he reached out and summoned ten star puppets.

Star mist surged, revealing the appearance of these star puppets.

They were all dragon-human shaped! They

were mostly upright, with hands and feet, but also had dragon tails and heads, like a combination of humans and dragons.

Among them, the extremely profound Dao array and the body material resembling a Dao treasure revealed the extraordinary power of this thing.

Most importantly, however, was the sheer size of these Dragon Star Puppets.

“Four light-years!!!”

someone exclaimed.

“Using that for selection? No wonder they say 99% will be eliminated.”

“Those who haven’t even reached a light-year’s size, or those who have just reached that size, how can they possibly win against such a behemoth?”

Whether they were registered soldiers or just spectators, they all trembled with fear.

“However… with so many of us, after so many battles, these Dragon Star Puppets might be completely broken.” Someone clung to a sliver of hope.

However, Qian Fengyun seemed to know this was coming, and sneered, “You don’t need to be so optimistic, thinking you can wear down these Dragon Star Puppets. They all possess the ability to automatically repair themselves. Each person will be fighting against them at their most complete and powerful state. If you can’t win, you can’t win; there are no exceptions.”
