The King of the Gods
Chapter 69: The Killer Squad
"What do you think the discussion is?"
"I heard that Lord Guanjun will be out of secluded meditation next month, could this be related to this?"
Some smart young man had already guessed.
The Sky Guard Battalion was a special force in Guanjun Palace and had two objectives: One was to awaken the geniuses and the other was to supply new blood to the Guanjun Corps.
The creator of this organization was Lord Guanjun himself.
“Everyone is here.” An emotionless cold voice resounded in the building.
Shua!
The youths only felt a sense of obscurity before someone appeared.
"Third Guard." The Ten Sky Guards lowered their heads, including Feng Hanyue.
The Third Guard is just a nickname and represents this person. Everyone knew that Lord Guanjun had eighteen Guanjun Corps and they were helping him in the dark. One of them was a Martial Master and their strength was much stronger than a normal Martial Master.
The guard who appeared at the peak that day was at the seventeenth rank, but he had defeated the Qiu family elder in two steps. The Third Guards in front of them even had stronger strength.
"You should all know that Lord Guanjun will be out of secluded meditation in one month." The voice of the guard was simple, straightforward.
Of course they know!
The young man's gift nodded his head in hope. Lord Guanjun was a legend in the Cloud Country and he had received the title of "Undefeated", his fame even spreading to neighboring countries.
"There is one news I want to announce: When Lord Guanjun comes out, he will take one or several disciples from all of you." Jealousy appeared in his eyes as he said this.
Lord Guanjun received a disciple?
As soon as he finished his words, the young men blushed with excitement. Many would die without regret just to see Lord Guanjun and if they could receive a hint from him, it would be their dream.
But to become his disciple was something they never even dreamed of. After all, Lord Guanjun had high authority in the country and he seemed to have reached the Sacred Martial Path …
Excitement radiated on Zhao Feng's face, it seemed like it was a good decision to come here. Here, he could interact with geniuses all over the country and he had the chance to see the legendary Lord Guanjun.
“There is still one month! The Sky Guards Battalion gave you a chance at an actual battle.” As he spoke, a smile appeared on his lips.
The real fight?
The ten people were all curious and hopeful at the same time. Being in the Sky Guards Battalion, they had plenty of opportunities to argue and fight. But they did not experience many life and death situations.
“There have been some bandits lately with all of them ranked fourth or higher. There is also suspicion that they were sent by our neighboring country "The Maple Fire Nation". Your mission is to eliminate these bandits, while protecting nearby villages at the same time. The Third Guard spoke.
A bandit? Sent by a neighboring country?
Although they were curious, most of them were excited.
"Third Guards Master, why didn't Guanjun Palace just send their troops and destroy them?" Lei Cong asked his suspicions.
"Good question!" The man explained: “The bandits are very cunning because they do not always appear in the same place at all times, the chances of eliminating them by sending our troops are very low. Therefore, Guanjun Palace has decided to give this opportunity to you young men.”.
Hearing this, Zhao Feng immediately understood.
Guanjun Palace gave this mission to them because they had no combat experience.
“I hope through this, your potential will be more revealed. Guanjun Palace had arranged this so that for every bandit of the fourth rank you kill, you receive 1 battle point, for every fifth rank you kill, you receive 2 battle points…. If you can kill the leader, you get 20 battle points! Those who are ranked highest get extra prizes. ” Third Guard continues.
"May I ask what is the point of battle point?" One of the young men asked.
“You can spend battle points in the Treasury Hall where you can exchange them for Martial Arts, resources, and weapons … for example 1 battle point can be exchanged for a 1,500 year old blood plant, 10 battle points can give you a peak rank.Smartial arts, 50 battle points can give you half-Saint martial arts. ” The man replied.
Hearing this, the young man's blood boiled.
A top ranked martial art! Half Sacred Martial Arts!
Although there was an incomplete Sacred martial art in Zhao Feng's left eye, its actual use was no better than Half Sacred martial arts.
Furthermore, battle points could be exchanged for weapons and resources.
“It looks like Guanjun Palace has decided to raise these geniuses properly. Just killing a few bandits alone could give you battle points that could be exchanged for such a valuable resource.” Zhao Feng thought in his heart.
He was looking forward to this mission. The fact that he had a mysterious left eye gave him a better survival rate.
"The mission starts 5 days from now, go and get ready!" The Third Guard then explained the details more deeply, then he gave the order of dissolution.
After the discussion was over, news spread among the Sky Guards Battalion.
The mission was not limited to just the Ten Sky Guards, but the Ten Sky Guards leading the squads. Over the next few days, the members of the Sky Guards Battalion began to form teams according to the distribution of rewards.
Some of the strongest teams included Lei Cong and Lu Xiaoyu where everyone was ranked fourth or higher.
Clearly, there were still people doing solos like Feng Hanyue, the number one of the Ten Sky Guards.
Feng Hanyue was the only Martial Master, therefore his own strength defeated the strength of the team.
Since Zhao Feng had just arrived, he formed a team with Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi, but the strength of his team could not compare to Lei Cong and Lu Xiayu. However, Zhao Feng had confidence that his battle points would still be one of the top ones.
Since his mission stayed a few more days, Zhao Feng ate one of the other thousand-year-old plants.
Three days later.
The green ray of light in the dimension of his left eye had reached six feet nine.
At this moment, Zhao Feng still had one more factory, but he did not use it because:
First, the continuous use of resources means that the effect will be reduced. Second, Zhao Feng preferred to keep it for the critical moments when he would try to reach the seventh rank.
“My cultivation is at the final stage of the sixth rank, but there is still a bit of distance to the top.” Zhao Feng thought in his heart.
Hence, he became more expecting missions because one's potential would be fully unleashed through life and death battles. In the blink of an eye, the five days given for preparation passed.
Another shocking thing was that Zhao Yufei had broken through to the sixth rank two days ago with the help of Zhao Fengs resources.
Morning time.
All the youths of the fourth rank or higher were divided into small teams and left Guanjun Palace. The group of three formed by Zhao Feng, Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi were also in it.
"Brother Feng, is your actual cultivation only at the fifth rank peak?" Zhao Yufei asked his suspicions.
Returning to the Zhao family, he clearly knew how fast Zhao Feng's progress was, but he had already reached the sixth rank. So how could Zhao Feng still be at the peak of the fifth rank?
Hearing this, Huang Qi was also interested.
"You're right, this isn't my actual cultivation." Zhao Feng also did not hide it and released his original aura.
Top of sixth rank!
Both Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi felt pressure towards them. Zhao Fengs aura was extremely dense and heavy, it carried more pressure than the other peak sixth rank.
After he unleashed his aura, Zhao Feng hid it once more, suppressing it to the beginning of the sixth rank, just like Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi.
Zhao Feng showed his teammates his true strength to gain more trust. Now that he was hiding it, he could carry out a sneak attack in an upcoming battle. The three left Guanjun Province City and they arrived at its border after a few days of travel. The area is complicated with many trees, rivers, rivers, cliffs and several villages around it, but this place is also the only road to the Maple Fire Country, so that the bandits can be sent by them.
“Once we leave this village, we will enter the danger area where the bandits are lurking.” Zhao Feng opened his map and discussed with Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi.
"Hehe, Miss Yufei, are you interested in joining my team?" A clear arrogant laugh sounded.
Zhao Feng and the other two turned around and found Lu Xiaoyu leading a team of seven to eight passers-by.
