Chapter 465: Chapter 464 Conflict
Time passed extremely fast.
Especially the Chi Yu mysterious clan, having experienced the battle of倾国, was greatly defeated and likely requires several years to recover their Primordial Qi.
During this period, the engineers continued to improve the defense works. The longer the delay, the stronger the defense power of the Qisha Military District became.
In the blink of an eye...
A month passed.
During this month, it was almost a time of ecstasy for the Baoyan Army Legion, or rather, the soldiers of the Qisha Military District.
Despite their great reputation across the Polar Star Battlefield and even on Blue Star,
that was primarily due to their unity and solidarity.
However, if taken individually...
their individual combat power was indeed inferior to those martial artists with higher education.
But with the arrival of Xu Lingjun, who generously provided them with numerous Extraordinary Legendary Level martial skills to study,
the higher one’s military achievements, the higher the martial skills one could cultivate.
It is said that among them, Thunder Roar, due to his outstanding military achievements, was exceptionally taught the Ultimate Level martial skill Cuowu Martial Celestial Thunder Fist by the Commander, and was even appointed as the Deputy Commander!
Ultimate Level martial skills are martial skills that even people from the Sect have little chance to encounter...
Everyone thought this was because of the camaraderie he shared with the commander...
Little did they know that after Xu Lingjun issued this order, he couldn’t help but secretly admire his own impartiality.
This Thunder Roar ruined my plans, yet I didn’t punish him. On the contrary, I gave him a title.
I am so wise.
The direct consequence of this was that everyone began calculating exactly how much military merit they had and what kind of martial skills they could exchange for.
A wave of martial arts practice surged through the Qisha Military District...
And the name Xu Lingjun quickly resonated throughout the vast military district, among the hundred thousand soldiers, who almost revered Xu Lingjun as a god.
It’s a pity...
This isn’t the type of fanatical followers I wanted.
During this period, Xu Lingjun almost daily took out the small interceptor factory to have a look...
Unfortunately, although it’s a weapon of tremendous power, it couldn’t be imbued with a Talent Source.
It was evident that Thunder Roar and others had indeed passed on his words...
But Xu Lingjun only mentioned it casually and they didn’t really pay attention, since he said it’s almost ready for research, it evidently wasn’t, so they just waited.
They didn’t have any expectations about it, so there was no question of belief.
It seems a catalyst is needed.
Xu Lingjun closed his eyes and went to cultivate.
He needed to settle himself too.
In the blink of an eye... another month passed.
During this month, students from Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion were transported by special ships from the other nine major military regions, arriving one after another at the Qisha Military District.
The number of students from Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion was quite large, adding up to nearly twenty thousand when counting both graduates and undergraduates.
Although still far from the numbers of the Baoyan Army Legion...
But these are true elites.
They truly earned their way into Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion through their abilities, and after undergoing trials, they arrived at the Polar Star Battlefield.
Each of them was impressive enough to be considered a prodigy outside.
And among them were some familiar faces.
Like Gu Xi...
She was now a martial artist at the Sixth Layer of the Profound Realm, just one level lower than Xu Lingjun in terms of realm...
Her strength among many Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion students was also at the forefront.
Especially the title of New Student Terminator she held, which was evidently very effective.
She had considerable prestige among these students...
Xu Lingjun directly appointed Gu Xi as one of the three Deputy Commanders, specifically overseeing the many students of Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion.
And managing these students didn’t pose much of a problem... since they all had truly shed blood and tears on the Polar Star Battlefield, they were indeed genuine Iron Warriors.
Knowing that Xu Lingjun brought many martial skills, they eagerly exchanged them for the martial skills they needed and immersed themselves in the frenzy of martial skills cultivation.
Since joining the Polar Star Battlefield, they had constant patrols, drills, and numerous tasks every day...
Opportunities to settle down and cultivate like now were rare.
They obviously understood it benefited from the Qisha Military District’s grand victory over the Chi Yu mysterious clan, so they cherished this opportunity.
Especially with the arrival of those researchers from Zhanzheng Academy.
Zhang Zhiheng was generous toward Xu Lingjun.
The personnel dispatched were all highly experienced researchers...
For the moment, Xu Lingjun hadn’t assigned them tasks, as there wasn’t much for them to do yet, just familiarizing themselves with the surroundings.
Everything was moving in a positive direction.
With everyone’s efforts, the overall strength of the Qisha Military District was continuously rising, and the mecha and various mechanical weapons brought by those researchers filled the shortcomings of the Qisha Military District.
Only under the calm surface...
the hidden undercurrents never ceased.
Especially with the arrival of three thousand disciples from the Cuowu Sect, their number was far fewer compared to Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion...
They might only be just over a tenth in number.
But, the fewer the number, the more elite they were.
The strength of the three thousand, the weakest were in the True Transformation Realm, and many of the strong ones were already eligible to duel with the Deputy Commander.
There were quite a few at the Profound Realm...
The Baoyan Army Legion, with the largest base and the weakest strength!
The Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion with moderate numbers and decent powers.
And the Cuowu Sect with the least number yet strongest power...
All three revered Xu Lingjun immensely, but among the three, there were quite a few intense hidden undercurrents.
And on this day, these undercurrents finally erupted completely.
"What? Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion and Cuowu Sect had a conflict? A life-and-death battle broke out?!"
Xu Lingjun was almost stunned when he heard the news from Deputy Commander Thunder Roar...
The three thousand disciples of the Cuowu Sect, with the strongest individual power but the most unruly personality, while they obeyed Xu Lingjun, it was solely because Xu Lingjun was their Supreme Elder and had elevated the martial skills they practiced to a very profound level.
Especially upon their arrival, discovering nearly the entire Baoyan Army Legion practicing Cuowu Sect martial skills...
And clearly only just beginning to learn.
This made these elite and proud disciples disdain the mud-legs of the Baoyan Army Legion...
In daily conversations, there was a tone of contempt, thinking the paths they had walked over a dozen years ago, others were only starting now.
Wouldn’t this mean a gap of over ten years between us?
However, those in the Baoyan Army Legion, having practiced Cuowu Sect martial skills, felt some gratitude towards the Cuowu Sect, plus they were accustomed to such haughty people. Though arrogant, they weren’t inherently bad.
Everyone put up with them when they could... sometimes even graciously greeting them, making the contemptuous Cuowu Sect disciples feel ashamed and embarrassed to insult further.
Although not friendly, there was still harmony.
But somehow...
The Baoyan Army Legion and Cuowu Sect didn’t have a conflict, instead, the Cuowu Sect and Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion clashed?
"Let’s go, quickly, let’s check it out!"
Xu Lingjun strode towards the drill ground.
