Devouring the Starry Sky begins with the battle of geniuses

Chapter 105: Fanatic Face, School Officer Position

Axis City, one of the southwestern branches of the Military Armed Forces, and the recruiting office.

Coinciding with the biannual recruitment day, a long queue stretched directly from inside the Armed Forces to outside the gate.

Hunzhen had just moved over from the phone booth when he saw such a scene. Looking at the enthusiastic faces in the team, his mood was indescribably weird.

"Hey, brother, my name is Lu Zheng. Are you here to sign up to join the army too?"

A young man with yellow hair happily greeted Hun Zhen.

It looked like it had just moved through the phone booth.

Lu Zheng noticed Hun Zhen's strange expression and explained in a very tactful way: "Don't be surprised. The Great Battle of Martial Arts Festival is approaching, and this period is the peak of military recruitment. But even if there is no Great Battle of Martial Arts Festival, every time someone comes to sign up The number of people will basically exceed the Ministry of Armed Forces’ quota.”

Hunzhen looked Lu Zheng up and down. He, like [-]% of the applicants, was at the ninth level of the universe level life. He couldn't help but ask: "So many people signed up, all with universe level strength, but in the end they were just cannon fodder." That’s all. Why are there so many people fighting to sign up?”

"Hey, you can't say this casually, friend!"

Lu Zheng's expression changed. After looking around and seeing that no one was paying attention, he quickly lowered his voice and warned Hunzhen. He downgraded Hunzhen from "brother" to "friend" and said, "You said this at the entrance of the registration office." , Aren’t you just looking for trouble?”

Hunzhen was noncommittal.

Seeing Hun Zhen's expressionless face, Lu Zheng thought he was disdainful, and immediately snorted: "Friend, let's not talk about how great the benefits of joining the army are. Being able to serve as a useful person to the nobles, and being able to work with those big shots Fighting, how glorious is this!? Those low-level people on the shallower level will never even see the nobles in their lives. Our ninth level of the abyss is much stronger. If we fight for a high position, we can occasionally see each other, but we can barely talk. It’s hard to even say a word.

But joining the army is different!Once we make some contributions, we can speak directly to those adults, even get rewards, and even call them brothers!As an inferior race, this is the most glorious moment in life.In the past, we were as ignored as ants to the nobles, but as long as we join the army, we can have the opportunity to gain temporary equality.Just imagining that scene makes me so happy that I want to go to heaven!For this honor, even if he died in battle, what would it matter? "

Hun Zhen looked at Lu Zheng, who was intoxicated by himself, and was speechless for a moment.

Selling one's life just for the appreciation or superficial recognition of the Abyss Royal Family.There should be no doubt about whether this kind of cheap and flimsy dignity can be called dignity, and whether it is more important than one's own life.

He couldn't understand it at all at first, but as he listened, he found that he could easily find the corresponding group in the history of his previous life.

In the long history, there are countless such people.

The secret world of the Abyss only relies on faith and absolute power to infinitely amplify this point.

People like Xing Luo who are "sober in the world" are alien.

"It seems that, my friend, you are a rare 'disbeliever', or a disbeliever who has never taken root here."

"Then it's no wonder you have an incomprehensible expression on your face."

Lu Zheng shook his head, not annoyed at all, but smiled and said: "For a guy like you, I need to use another way of saying it."

"Put it another way?" Hunzhen raised an eyebrow.

"Even if it's not for glory, we already have a blood feud with the Black Demon Familia across from us."

The Black Demon Familia are naturally the lower races that belong to the rule of the Black Demon Clan.

In contrast, people like Lu Zheng claimed to be the Silver Ghost Family.

Hearing this, Hunzhen was somewhat curious. Although she had roughly guessed the origin of the "blood feud", she still listened silently to Lu Zheng's complete explanation.

"In the beginning, people were just for glory, right? But as the river of time flows, hatred has long been rooted in our blood."

"Twenty years ago, my uncle died at the hands of the Black Demon Familia of the Black Demon Army."

"Thirty years ago, my classmate, the recognized number one genius in the neighborhood, and my childhood sweetheart died in the same battle. Also killed in that battle was my mentor."

"100 years ago, the father of the girl I liked died."

"Three hundred years ago, my grandfather was like this too."

"Continue to trace it back...then there will be no end."

"This is a war that will never stop, an endless waltz. As long as the two royal families do not have a complete truce and shake hands to make peace, this dance will continue. And as long as the dance of war continues, no matter for Hatred, for glory, or for ambition like your friend? Profit? There will always be someone who will succeed me."

Lu Zheng said, spreading his hands and seeing that the team had advanced a lot, he quickly walked forward and joined the queue.

Looking at the long queue, Hunzhen seemed to be seeing the dance that runs through the history of the lower races.

Yes, maybe this is why they are keen to join the war.

It is not difficult to imagine that perhaps a long time ago, the origin of this war, the so-called conscription was not as elegant and easy-going as it is now, but was full of obsessive ideas and death threats.

Regardless of whether the lower races are willing or not, as long as the abyss royal family has a need for war, they must satisfy it.

As for how it evolved into what it is today, and even formed beliefs and customs, it may be attributed to self-hypnosis at the genetic level for self-preservation and survival.

The disobedient races...are probably all extinct?

"Speaking of history..."

Hun Zhen suddenly remembered an innocuous thing.

According to the information obtained through his investigation, the abyssal layer is not only extremely short of resources, but also faces many dangers such as meteorites from the outside, fighting between royal families, and so on.

Combining these facts, the first layer of the abyss should have existed only as an abyssal battlefield, just like the tenth layer of the abyss.

Those resources for city construction can be invested in the second and third floors of the abyss.

The land development there is not yet saturated. In terms of land area income alone, there is no reason to develop the first level of the abyss.

In the historical documents, Hunzhen vaguely glimpsed that at the beginning, there did not seem to be a history of "inferior races living there".

Hunzhen shook his head silently in his heart.

He is here to carry out training tasks and complete the plan to seize the body, not to be a historian.

The Purgatory Abyss has existed since the beginning of the evolution of the original universe. Due to the battle between the two royal families, the resistance and surrender of the inferior races, etc., there may have been more than one historical fault.

There are definitely more than one speculations and secrets like this.

Just like many "unsolved mysteries" in previous lives, it is impossible for modern people to guess the truth. After digging out some ancient documents, we realized how ridiculous the cause of this mystery is.

Hunzhen doesn't intend to fall into it.

Dispelling these unnecessary thoughts, he strode towards the recruitment office.

"Ok?"

Lu Zheng, who was standing in the queue, turned his head and saw Hing Zhen's back.

"Jump in line?"

"No, no!"

He saw Qingzhen striding into another passage - "Special Recruitment Direct Entry Assessment".

"Hey, look, someone is trying to break into the special passage again!"

"Hey, another one who overestimates his capabilities. Be careful if you consume too much, you may not be able to pass the normal assessment test later." People in the queue exclaimed, and some people also made disdainful taunts.

As the name suggests, those who pass the assessment do not need to start as a top soldier. They start at the captain level and can directly become a captain of a thousand-man brigade at the highest level.

The first step in the assessment is to pass this special channel.

This road contains extremely terrifying legal power suppression and will pressure. If you don't pass within the time limit, you will be ejected directly.

Ordinary cosmic-level beings cannot even hold on for ten seconds.

This assessment is unmonitored and does not restrict any external force. As long as you can walk through it in an upright manner, you will be considered qualified.

In the eyes of the military, wealth and power can also be attributed as part of personal strength.

Of course, if you use a one-time treasure to help you pass, and you die on the battlefield because the treasure has been consumed, they will not care.

As for the other big soldiers who died as a result, they were also reasonable losses.

Lu Zheng instinctively didn't want to see Hunzhen pass the test.

First, the other party's previous indifferent attitude made him a little uncomfortable.

Second, a passer-by who just chatted with me will soon become someone who steps on me, which is a bit annoying.

However, when Hunzhen exuded a Domain Lord-level aura and competed with the power of law and the coercion of will in the passage, everyone shut their mouths.

The assessment channel can screen out the vast majority of cosmic-level ones, but it has basically no impact on the domain masters.

One of the main purposes of this assessment channel is to prevent those domain owners who come to sign up to join the army from queuing up like everyone else.

Even in the military department, Territory Lords are also rare. It is impossible for a Territory Lord to start from the rank of a large soldier, and at the worst he should be at the level of a hundred-man squadron leader.

Hunzhen stepped into the passage and did not rush straight through. Instead, he looked up and down curiously.

This passage is not long, only about ten meters long, and the gap is three meters long and wide, but it is not its maximum size.

Just because it is shaped like a fleshy drainage pipe, the bright red flesh wall is squirming, and there are dense pores and mucus adhesion.

If someone who is too tall enters, they should be able to force it open and pass through.

This passage looks like a part of an organ cut off from a giant creature.

But it is obviously a separate organ, but it is unknown what kind of treatment it has undergone. After being separated from the host, it can still retain the characteristics of being alive. It also has the power of law and the coercion of will, and is used by the military to select talents.

This level of coercion of will and power of law could be completely ignored when he was still at the cosmic level, let alone the period of the Lord of the Pure Realm.

After observing the passage, Hunzhen stepped out and reached the exit in an instant.

At the end of the road is an office as spacious as a basketball court.

Looking up, there were already five figures standing in front of Hunzhen, and they seemed to be signing up to join the army.

Hun Zhen glanced at them and saw three men and two women, all basically in human appearance.Among the five people, only one is at the ninth level of the universe level. The rest are all faintly exuding the domain lord level life aura, and each of them has a superb method of concealing the aura. They have not entered a combat state. From this distance, they can only roughly judge their approximate strength.

When Hunzhen observed them, these five people were also observing Hunzhen.

Seeing Hunzhen being stared at by five people at the same time, with the same calm look on his face, not a single trace of his emotions leaking out, the five of them couldn't help but regard him as a competitor they must be wary of.

Otherwise, the number of places for direct promotion to school officer is limited.Naturally, those with ability will live there.

As time passed, more than ten people entered the office through the assessment channel.

During this period, everyone was silent and no one spoke.

Finally, the sky turned dark and silent, and a silver figure suddenly appeared behind the desk.

"It looks like there are only 17 of you this time."

Seeing the silver figure, many of the people who passed the first test showed shock.

"noble!"

Their expressions were solemn, and they only exclaimed inwardly.

But there were also many people who looked calm and just bowed slightly to the noble old man to show their respect.

Hunzhen silently looked at the abyss noble and made an evaluation in his heart. Compared with all the abyss nobles he had seen before, this one was obviously much older.

Needless to say, his face is old, and he looks like he is almost exhausted. Especially compared with other Silver Ghost clan, the armor on his body has become dull, as if he has experienced the baptism of fierce war countless years ago. The old armor was sitting in a warehouse gathering dust, without sunlight and lack of polish.

But the old noble man's back was obviously a bit stooped, but according to his calculations, he straightened his back, but the actual height was eight meters high, which was the highest he had seen so far.

He has roughly deduced that the strength and height of the Abyss Royal Family should be positively correlated. From this point, he can roughly estimate the opponent's strength.

Compared to the young Territory Lord Silver Ghost whom I met before, he is definitely stronger than weak.

"After all, he is in charge of the military branch, and he also has to assess the domain master. It is not surprising to have such strength."

Hunzhen concluded secretly.

The old man squinted his eyes, quickly glanced at the 17 people, and said with a click of his tongue: "Not bad, not bad. The fifteen domain lords all belong to this stage of immersion and accumulation, and the two little guys at the universe level can also be cultivated."

But then he sighed again and shook his head: "Unfortunately, there are only three school officer quotas this time. Hahaha, it looks like the competition will be fierce~"

He let out a weird laugh, and suddenly grabbed an old wooden crutch that appeared out of thin air with his right hand. With a flash of light in his eyes, he suddenly thrust it forward.

In just a moment, the crutch turned into seventeen rays of sword light, flying towards the interviewer at the same time at an extremely terrifying speed.

Puff puff--.

Broken arms and legs flew across the sky.

In this unexpected attack, the two domain masters who had maintained a calm attitude before were killed directly.

Among the rest of the people, except for Hunzhen, there are more or less bad luck.

On the other hand, although the two cosmic-level warriors were severely injured, none of them was killed.

"You, you and you."

The old man casually grabbed it from the desk and threw a silver object that looked like a thumbtack at the three most injured Domain Lords, including Hunzhen, and said: "You three are the ones who directly won the title of Colonel in this assessment." Qualified person.”

As for Hunzhen, who had perfectly escaped his attack, the old man did not make any additional comments. He just silently took out other thumbtacks of different colors and threw them to the remaining 12 people.

From his few words, we can know that this pin is an additional plug-in for the identification watch. In addition to recording military achievements, it is also used to refer to different identities, dividing the group captain, squadron leader and squad leader.

"The 212th Battalion of the Western Theater Command, this is where you are going next. Before arriving at the camp, I suggest you recognize your subordinates."
