Chapter 128
These are military regulations; on the battlefield, one must follow military regulations.
The badge stopped after turning silver, with not a single star on it.
Out of the 3,500 merit points, 500 were used to raise Lin Moyu's rank to a ten-star Private.
After adding the remaining 3,000 merit points, he went from a ten-star Private to a second lieutenant.
Once reaching second lieutenant, every additional star requires 10,000 merit points.
The difference was a full 100-fold.
Raising one's military rank was extremely difficult; relying solely on killing things like Abyssal Demon Dogs was completely insufficient.
If one truly wanted to obtain major merit points, they had to go deep into the Yuan Battlefield, or even enter the Abyss to hunt genuine Abyssal Demons.
Ning Yiyi looked at the sergeant badge on Lin Moyu's shoulder. "Wow, you've become a second lieutenant. Hello, Officer!"
She playfully saluted Lin Moyu, leaving him caught between laughter and tears.
Ning Yiyi said happily, "You might be the youngest second lieutenant ever."
Lin Moyu was only 18 years old.
He had just finished The Great Exam.
At this time, Professionals either went to higher education institutions or dropped out to wander the world.
Who could be like him, reaching level 20-something, coming to the Yuan Battlefield, and killing so many Abyssal Monsters?
A second lieutenant of this age was indeed unique.
Many people were very happy to see their military ranks rise.
This continued until the light completely faded away.
Legion Commander General Ni Xiong continued, "Lin Moyu, 18 years old, the youngest second lieutenant in our country. By approval, he is specially awarded the title: Star of Shenxia."
As his voice fell, Lin Moyu's sergeant badge erupted with brilliant light once more, completely enveloping him.
[Obtained Title: Star of Shenxia]
[Star of Shenxia: All attributes +300, skill consumption reduced by 20%, damage reduction 10%.]
Lin Moyu glanced at the title's attributes; they were much worse than his dragon war king title.
Furthermore, two titles could not coexist; he could only choose one to use.
Needless to say, he would definitely choose the dragon war king title.
General Ni Xiong showed a strange expression. "You already have a title?"
His words drew everyone's attention.
No one expected that Lin Moyu already possessed a title.
Titles were not easily obtained, as the various conditions were incredibly harsh.
Only one person could hold the same title at a time.
It was unclear who had previously held the Star of Shenxia title.
But since Lin Moyu had become the youngest second lieutenant of the Shenxia Empire, this title had passed to him.
Lin Moyu nodded. "Yes, I have a title."
General Ni Xiong asked, "Where did it come from?"
"Dragon Clan Frontline Outpost Dungeon, Hell Difficulty." Lin Moyu did not hide it.
There was nothing to hide; others couldn't take it away anyway.
Whoosh!
Lin Moyu's words caused a wave of exclamations.
Every single person present was in disbelief, shocked to the point of numbness.
Even the habitually proud Mo Yun looked at Lin Moyu with some disbelief at this moment.
Back then, she had also tried to solo it, but the result was a pathetic retreat.
"So the legends are true, the Hell Difficulty Outpost Dungeon really has a title."
"He actually soloed the Hell Difficulty Outpost Dungeon, my god!"
"How is this possible? Is this really something a human can do?"
"I thought that title was just some deceptive rumor, but it's actually real."
"Perhaps only he could do it. Who else could have so many summons, and each one so powerful?"
The sounds of discussion grew louder and louder.
General Ni Xiong barked, "Silence."
—Requesting flowers
Everyone immediately shut their mouths.
The legion hadn't been disbanded yet; right now, General Ni Xiong was the supreme commander.
With a flash of light, Lin Moyu was teleported to General Ni Xiong's side. "Could you tell me about the title's effects and the method of acquisition? The Empire's database needs to record it."
At this moment, he was no longer commanding, but inquiring.
The title was Lin Moyu's private information, which he could not see.
However, the Empire's database required this information.
He could only discuss it with Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu did not hide it.
"Obtained by soloing the Hell Difficulty [Dragon Clan Frontline Outpost] Dungeon. The effects are All Attributes +500 and all skill consumption reduced by 50%."
General Ni Xiong's eyes held admiration. "A very good title, especially the 50% reduction in skill consumption. It's extremely important for mage-type classes."
"You are quite remarkable. In exchange, I specially authorize you to use the military facilities in the fortress."
Lin Moyu was slightly surprised.
Some facilities in the fortress were military facilities, and ordinary people were not qualified to enter them.
…
Merit points were the pass; to enter, one had to at least reach three-star second lieutenant.
Lin Moyu wasn't even a one-star second lieutenant yet, so he originally had no qualification.
He didn't expect General Ni Xiong to have this authority.
Only then did Lin Moyu notice the badge on General Ni Xiong's shoulder.
A purple badge—he was actually a General.
The three stars on the badge appeared so dazzling.
General Ni Xiong said, "Using military facilities is fine, but it also costs merit points. You don't have much merit, so spend it sparingly."
Lin Moyu gave an 'en' in response. "Thank you, Senior."
After Lin Moyu returned, General Ni Xiong finally issued the last command: "This battle is over. The legion is disbanded."
A sudden battle thus came to an end.
Everyone could go back to their own business.
Although it had lasted less than an hour from start to finish, everyone had gone through an extraordinary experience.
Lin Moyu's tyrannical skills had opened their eyes.
Especially after learning that Lin Moyu had the ability to solo the Hell Difficulty Outpost Dungeon, they were even more shocked and couldn't recover.
At this time, the teleportation array lit up, and squads of people teleported back.
They were all high-level Professionals and soldiers.
They wore uniform clothing and had a magnificent aura.
After coming out of the teleportation array, they left quickly, without saying a single word to the Professionals present.
They didn't even spare them a glance.
Lin Moyu recognized one of them—the one guarding the city gate who had kindly reminded him to be careful.
He wasn't there during the great battle just now.
It should be said that all the high-level Professionals were absent.
He didn't know where they had gone.
Many people's communicators began to ring.
During the battle just now, the communicators were in a shielded state, and communication had only just been restored.
As soon as the communicators were connected, all sorts of voices came from within.
"Did you know? Just now, the Abyssal Monsters launched attacks on all countries."
"Our Shenxia Empire's Fortress No. 7 was attacked by high-level monsters. It's said the fighting was very intense."
"How is Fortress No. 1? That side is furthest from the Abyss; is it safer?"
Shi Xingan walked up to Lin Moyu, his expression slightly solemn. "Just now, the Abyss didn't only launch an attack on us here."
Chapter 131: Ning Tairan's Nemesis
From Shi Xingan's narration, Lin Moyu learned the specific situation.
The Abyss had launched a large-scale attack, and the target locations were more than one.
In the Shenxia Empire, besides Fortress No. 1 where they were, Fortress No. 7 and No. 8 Fortress were also attacked simultaneously.
All those high-level Professionals in the army had gone to Fortress No. 7 and No. 8 Fortress to provide support.
It was said that the fighting over there was even more intense, with even third-turn Professionals participating in the battle.
It wasn't just the Shenxia Empire.
Sakura Country, the Stick Country, and Eagle Country were all attacked, and the intensity was not low.
Shi Xingan said, "Our Shenxia Empire is doing okay, with no casualties. It's said Sakura Country and the Stick Country are quite miserable; they've lost many Professionals."
Professionals aren't afraid of being injured, nor of losing limbs.
As long as their lives can be saved, even the most severe injuries can be healed.
But if their life is gone, there is nothing that can be done.
War is cruel, especially the war between the human race and the Abyss.
That is a life-and-death struggle between races; there are no survivors, no prisoners, and no such thing as surrender.
There are only two possibilities: death or living.
Shi Xingan said, "Our Fortress No. 1 is furthest from the Abyss. There are nine other fortresses on the way blocking the power of the Abyss for us, so we are the least affected here."
"Plus, with the layers of defense set up by the top experts in the Empire, the power of the Abyss cannot teleport demons that are too powerful over here."
"However, this is not foolproof. Although they can't teleport, some demons are good at stealth; they might sneak over to assassinate you."
"If you are active in the Yuan Battlefield, you must be careful."
Lin Moyu's performance this time was too outstanding.
The Abyssal Demons had already taken note of him.
If they had the chance, they would definitely kill him at any cost.
A mere level 24 Lin Moyu could casually slaughter level 30-something Abyssal Monsters.
Once Lin Moyu grew up, he might become a huge trouble for the Abyss.
In the past, genius figures had also appeared in the human race, but some were assassinated by the Abyss and failed to grow up.
Lin Moyu also became vigilant. "I will be careful."
