Chapter 133: Chapter 133

Even General Deng said he needed to select soldiers, no one stepped forward.

Everyone wanted to try their luck; with good luck, not being selected meant they wouldn't have to risk their lives on the frontier. With bad luck, they could only resign themselves to their fate.

"In that case, I can only..." General Deng began to announce names.

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly resounded.

Followed by a rolling black mist that descended upon the plaza, the light from it retracted, revealing a young man with pale skin and a cold expression. He had a tall and lean figure dressed entirely in black, with jet-black hair, pitch-black eyes, a black robe, and a curved black blade on his side, his body shrouded in a black fog emitting a chilling aura of death.

"Demon Dao Technique? Unexpectedly, someone in this remote area knows the Demon Dao Technique," General Deng's pupils contracted as he took a deep look at the black-robed youth who had suddenly appeared. Tеxt асquirеd frоm М|V|LЕМР&YR.

"It's Li'er, the top genius of the Galaxy Sect!"

The crowd immediately burst into murmurs.

"That's Li'er?" Zhao Letian's expression became solemn as he was visibly moved.

Li'er's fame in Galaxy Sect was greater than both his and Xiao Feng's, truly deserving of the title as Sect Master Chu Yunshan's direct disciple, the number one genius of the sect.

Additionally, Zhao Letian hadn't expected that the legendary top genius of the sect, practiced the Demon Dao Technique, listed as a forbidden technique in Dajin Country, revealing his Martial Arts Heart must be invincible since many people's wills are not firm and cannot withstand the invasion of Demonic Qi. Before mastering the technique, they already become irrational demons that only know slaughter. Yet, Li'er appeared unharmed, obviously, his Martial Arts Heart was much firmer than ordinary martial artists.

"Sect Master Chu, your Galaxy Sect actually has such a genius. Why didn't you bring him out earlier? Let him accompany me to the battlefield to properly refine his Demon Dao Technique, wouldn't that be great?" General Deng looked towards Chu Yunshan and said.

"This is my young disciple, who has been recently preparing for a breakthrough to the Sect Martial Realm. That is why I haven't called upon him," Chu Yunshan looked at Li'er, his brow furrowing slightly. He hadn't expected Li'er to voluntarily come forward to join the army. It seemed Li'er's attempt to break through to the Sect Martial Realm was not going smoothly.

"Although the Demon Dao Technique is powerful, it is even more difficult to cultivate, and breaking through to the Sect Martial Realm is tougher. He needs an opportunity, perhaps on the frontier battlefield, through endless slaughter, he might find that opportunity," General Deng looked at Li'er, his eyes showing his admiration for talent.

"Li'er, are you sure you want to join the army?" Chu Yunshan asked Li'er. As his proud disciple, Li'er could choose not to go if Chu Yunshan did not wish to send him, and General Deng would still respect that decision.

"Master, what the general said is correct. I indeed need an opportunity for a breakthrough. Let your disciple go onto that battlefield and slaughter to my heart's content. Wandering between life and death is the easiest way to stimulate potential. Perhaps when I return next time, I will have already broken through to the Sect Martial Realm," Li'er replied, his voice remaining cold even facing his master Chu Yunshan.

"Alright, as you wish," Chu Yunshan nodded, no longer saying anything more.

At this moment, Xiao Feng suddenly furrowed his brows, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind to join the army, stepping forward and standing out.

Originally, like other disciples, he did not wish to venture into the battlefield under tight border conflicts. However, after hearing Li'er's words, he realized that he might be overly cautious and lacked boldness. Unlike Li'er who dared to think and act without concerns, this might be why he always fell a step behind Li'er. To surpass Li'er and become the top figure in Galaxy Sect, he knew he had to make a change. Starting today, with joining the military, he would face anything Li'er dared to, fearlessly.

"Since you're going, what am I afraid of? Count me in." Wang Zhen, once the second-ranking disciple of the Inner Sect, shook his head with a smile and also stepped forward. Li'er was the target Xiao Feng aimed to surpass, and Xiao Feng was the one he always strived to catch up with. With both Li'er and Xiao Feng joining the army, he naturally could not fall behind.

Seeing the three of them stepping forward one after another, the disciples of Galaxy Sect at the square began to waver. Li'er, Xiao Feng, and Wang Zhen were the top talents of Galaxy Sect, radiant and influential. Their every action had a celebrity effect, causing others to unwittingly want to follow suit. Since the three of them were going, it suggested that joining the military in War King City might be a good thing. Otherwise, it might feel like missing out on something important.

However, the other disciples did not immediately step forward but instead turned their gazes towards Zhao Letian.

Apart from the three who stepped out, Zhao Letian might be the next most famous person in Galaxy Sect. If he too took the lead, then everyone else would have more confidence in making a decision.

"Who is this kid, and what's so special about him?" General Deng, following the gazes of the crowd, looked towards Zhao Letian, his eyebrows slightly knitting. He was surprised as he saw Zhao Letian having only the cultivation of the second level of the True Martial Realm. He really didn't understand why these disciples were all looking towards Zhao Letian.

"This disciple is also a talent of our Galaxy Sect. His decision might influence the choices of others," said Chu Yunshan.

"I see." General Deng nodded, unconcerned, and withdrew his gaze. He had seen many talents; a mere kid at the second level of True Martial Realm wasn't enough to hold his attention.

Feeling the focus of everyone converging on him, Zhao Letian furrowed his brows slightly, feeling a bit irritated. Whether or not to go should be his personal decision; was there a need to look at his choice? Now, probably even the General had noticed him. Even if he didn't want to go, he might very likely be singled out later.

"Zhao Letian, are you going or not?"

After a while, with Zhao Letian still staying silent, someone impatiently asked.

"Whether I go or not, what does it have to do with you? Do I need to report to you?" Zhao Letian coldly glanced at the man, indifferently retorted.

The man was at a loss for words, that's true, how Zhao Letian made his decision had nothing to do with him, nor was there any need to report to him.

"Tch! If you're scared of going to the battlefield, just say it directly, don't waste our time."

"Exactly, who would have thought Zhao Letian's courage is so small, he really doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Li'er and Xiao Feng."

The crowd disdainfully said, some of them, to demonstrate their bravery over Zhao Letian, hardened their hearts and stood out.

In contrast, Zhao Letian still did not move, clearly not intending to voluntarily join the army. To him, the actions of those people seemed childish to the point of being laughable. The path of cultivation was fraught with dangers and uncertainties; it should not be dealt with impulsively. Galaxy Sect had everything he needed for cultivation. He saw no need to go through trials in War King City yet. If there was no choice, then so be it, but if he could stay, he definitely wouldn't risk his life adventurously.
