Countless patches of space around Xiao Shen shattered instantly. He, together with the young man, seemed like a cracked mirror, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Regardless of whether it was their action or speed, they had become many times more skilled than before. Clearly, he had gotten a better grasp on the ability to shatter void space. This allowed him to traverse across 1,000 lis with a single thought, which was similar to using the Spatial Translocation ability.
In the weapon factory in the Divine Capital, Fang Xingjian completed the weapon modifications for the Sharp Swords soldiers after continuous tests and modifications. Therefore, he decided to immediately expand the size of his army by increasing the number of members for the Sharp Swords troop.
A major selection process was progressing within the imperial court’s troops. 1,000 of the most outstanding, most courageous, and most loyal Xiantian Realm cultivations were being selected.
As for the higher-tiered Disha Realm cultivators, Fang Xingjian’s plan was to select some of them to use the Universe Knight Systems with the higher specifications and lower specifications respectively.
Amongst these 1,000 people who had been selected from the entire army, there was also Fang Yong who came from the Beiyuan Region.
Fang Yong, Prince Xin’s commoner son, did not have the right to join the selection at first. After all, Prince Xin had rebelled. Although Fang Yong had led a team to seize Fang Tao, the team had been wiped out completely, and most people did not trust him.
However, after certain members of the upper echelon gave their approval, Fang Yong was given the exception to join.
At this moment, Fang Yong felt his vision blur, and he was pulled into the underground weapon factory by Fang Xingjian using Spatial Translocation.
Fang Yong stood on a public square made of metal, watching as more and more soldiers appeared with flashes. In the blink of an eye, over 1,000 people had filled up the place.
Although they had been pulled over abruptly via Spatial Translocation, most of them appeared very calm. After appearing in the square, they were all quietly on their guard, observing the surroundings. They did not do anything that overstepped their boundaries, displaying their excellent qualities.
Fang Yong thought, ‘To think that so many people can be brought over here from so many different places. This amazing ability… it seems to be a little similar to that person from the legends.’
After everyone arrived, Fang Xingjian’s voice rang out in their minds.
“Everyone, from today onward, you have been selected to join the Sharp Swords troop. There will be a new commanding officer here to give you orders. As for your previous troops and positions, they will no longer be of any relations to you from today onward.”
Hearing that, everyone’s gaze was first that of astonishment, followed by the elation of being selected.
This selection process had spanned many rounds, screening through the entire army. These young cultivators were naturally brimming with confidence and filled with all sorts of anticipation at being selected into an ace troop.
It was the same for Fang Yong. He clenched his fists, and a hint of excitement flashed past his eyes. Then he touched his chest, and Fang Tao’s appearance once again appeared in his mind.
Just then, heavy footsteps rang out, and Wang Tian and the others stepped into the metallic square while wearing exoskeleton armors.
Seeing the sudden appearance of 20 metal mounds, the countenances of Fang Yong and the others changed. Very soon, someone shouted, “You guys are the black armored troops that have taken the Middle-earth by storm recently, killing over 10,000 people?”
Wang Tian nodded, and their masks suddenly opened up. Their gazes scanned the Xiantian Realm cultivators in front of them, and Wang Tian said, “A total of 11,054 people and two Disha Realm experts were all killed by our group of 20.”
Right now, Wang Tian’s gaze was cold, with a very imposing disposition. Compared to one month ago, he had clearly become several times capable. The long duration of massacres had also made him look more and more like a warrior.
Hearing his words, everyone present immediately broke into a commotion.
A man stepped forth and said, “What kind of joke is that? If I’m not mistaken, all of you are only at Xiantian Realm, right? How are you able to kill over 10,000 people and two Disha Realm experts?”
There were many rumors about the elusive troop who had wiped out enemy armies everywhere. Some people said that they were an elite team consisting of Disha Realm experts from the imperial court, while others said that the troop consisted of Demon Sect’s experts. There were even people who said that this troop was led by a Tiangang Realm expert.
Seeing the intense look of disbelief in the others’ eyes, Wang Tian grinned like a mocking demon.
At the next moment, he turned his rifle and aimed at where the man was. Thenpffft pffft sounds rang out, and several tens streams of sparks exploded at the man’s feet.
Almost at the very instant he was aimed by the rifle, the man had already sensed an intense malevolent intent gushing toward him. However, before he did anything, streams of gales had already come surging and boom boom boom boom explosive sounds kept on ringing out. A series of smoke, dust, and explosions kept occurring right before him.
It was only then that the man and the soldiers around him reacted, retreating immediately.
Simultaneously, the smoke and dust scattered, revealing the ground that had been hit by the armor-piercing shells.
Under everyone’s astonished gazes, the spot in front of where the man had been earlier was now filled with craters. There were over ten small craters which were over one meter deep. Even parts of the metal showed signs of melting.
The man stomped down on the metal platform and could not help but gulp. Even if he were to use all of his strength, he probably would not be able to leave any traces on it. The destructive prowess of being able to strike out ten or more one-meter deep small craters was something that only Disha Realm experts could achieve.
The few people nearby were clearly also frightened by this destructive prowess. Thinking of what would have happened if the bullets had hit their bodies, their countenances immediately turned pale.
Wang Tian broke into a brutal smile. “See it? Country bumpkins, if these shots were to hit you, you guys would probably be turned into a pile of minced meat.”
Fang Yong stepped forth. He looked at the electromagnetic rifle in Wang Tian’s hand with a scorching gaze and asked, “Is this the prowess of the weapon that you’re holding? It can allow even Xiantian Realm cultivators to possess the destructive prowess of a Disha Realm cultivator?”
When the others heard this, they immediately understood. With scorching gazes, all of them looked at the electromagnetic rifles that Wang Tian and the others were holding.
Wang Tian was too familiar with the gaze that these people had. When he and his troop first realized the prowess of these weapons, they had the very same gleam in their eyes.
“In the future, you guys will be assigned to the Sharp Swords troop. We’re His Majesty’s sharpest swords, slashing and wiping out all of His Majesty’s enemies.
“We’re equipped with the world’s strongest and most advanced weapons. As long as we’re willing to do so, we can even kill Disha Realm cultivators. No army that is a match for us!” Wang Tian shouted in a loud voice. “But before you become a real member of the Sharp Swords, you’ll still need to go through hard work to train and undergo selection…”
As Wang Tian said these, everyone’s gaze lit up, and their eyes were filled with excitement and passion.
The Crown Princess, who was in void space, scanned the over 1,000 people below and asked, “What about the other weapons? Can I take a look?”
Fang Xingjian said, “Don’t worry, it won’t take too long before you find out.” His gaze swept out toward Fang Yong and asked, “You left ether particles in his body?”
“That’s right,” the Crown Princess said. “It has been over half a year since we came to this world. In order to clear the trial, it’s a necessity to let the people here start cultivating our martial arts. It’s time to start somewhere.”
Fang Xingjian did not have any objections to that. He merely continued, “With regard to the heaven-blessed cultivators…”
