Chapter 170

Meng Anwen shook his head, "He probably wants to solve it himself, or he doesn't want to trouble you. He has some backbone, which is very good."

"Don't get involved; just act like you don't know. What I'm telling you is meant to keep you from making a scene and causing trouble for your own disciple."

Bai Yiyuan said loudly, "Do I look that stupid to you?"

Meng Anwen was noncommittal, "Pretty much!"

"What do you mean 'pretty much'!"

Meng Anwen stopped talking and continued to close his eyes and rest.

Chapter 168: Military Family, Heading to Nanhong City

Ning Yiyi went home to show off to her grandfather. She was a two-star second lieutenant; it was quite impressive.

After Lin Moyu left the White God Courtyard, he contacted Jiang Taotao to agree on the departure time for tomorrow.

He didn't return to the dormitory but instead took the teleportation array back to Fortress No. 1.

There were still many people in Fortress No. 1 discussing the [Battlefield Ghost King].

Lin Moyu listened as he walked and heard quite a bit of news.

"Did you hear? It's said that the guild master of the Dynasty Guild came over, and he is furious."

"I heard that too. It seems their team was looking for the [Battlefield Ghost King], but the team ended up getting wiped out."

"That's right. The [Battlefield Ghost King] was attacked by someone else, and the Dynasty Guild's team disappeared. What else could it be if they weren't wiped out?"

"The Dynasty Guild suffered significant losses this time. It's said that the young guild master who came for training died."

"Having lost his son, their guild master will definitely go crazy. I wonder who did it."

"No matter who did it, I have to say, well done. Who told them to act so arrogantly and bully us independent Professionals?"

The Dynasty Guild had a very poor reputation among Professionals.

Most Professionals were happy to see them suffer.

Lin Moyu knew this matter probably wouldn't end here.

If they want to investigate, let them. As long as he tried his best not to be exposed, it would be fine.

He had no regrets about killing Young Guild Master Wang Zihao.

Spending military merits for the official skill training grounds, Lin Moyu began summoning Skeleton Warriors.

100 Skeleton Mages were enough.

With 30 slots remaining, Lin Moyu planned to use them all to Summon Skeleton Warriors.

One round of 10 Skeleton Warriors, followed by meditation to restore his mental energy.

The military skill training grounds were far more effective than the academy's elementary skill training hall; each meditation session only took a little over an hour to fully restore his mental energy.

After just three hours, Lin Moyu left the military skill training grounds.

His Summoning Space was full.

170 Skeleton Warriors and 100 Skeleton Mages, looking like a massive army.

Each one of these elite fighters gave Lin Moyu strong confidence.

After finishing this, Lin Moyu returned to Xiajing Academy.

He had been in Battlefield No. 3 for these past few days and hadn't been able to rest well.

That night, he had a good sleep.

"Lin Moyu!" As soon as he walked to the dormitory area, he saw Xia Yang, Feng Xiu, and Zuo Mei walking side by side.

There were two others with them. One was dressed as a Knight, and the other as a Support.

Xia Xue asked, "Where did you go? We haven't seen you for several days."

Lin Moyu said indifferently, "I went to Battlefield No. 3."

Feng Xiu was shocked, his face filled with disbelief, "You actually went to Battlefield No. 3!"

Then he saw the military badge on Lin Moyu's shoulder, and he suddenly stood at attention and saluted Lin Moyu, "Private Feng Xiu, reporting to my superior."

At this moment, everyone looked at Feng Xiu strangely.

Xia Xue asked, confused, "What are you doing?"

Feng Xiu said, "He is a second lieutenant, and I am a private. When meeting a superior, one must perform a military salute."

Feng Xiu pointed to his own shoulder, which also had a military badge. It was white with no stars. The most ordinary private.

When Lin Moyu first met Feng Xiu, he felt that his aura was different from ordinary people.

"So you come from a military family."

Feng Xiu nodded, "Yes, the Sacred Sword Feng Family. My ancestors were all soldiers, and for generations, we have all been soldiers."

Lin Moyu asked, "What are you all going to do now?"

Xia Xue said, "We are going to Nanhong City tomorrow, so we plan to practice our tactics again to strive for good results."

"Who told you to level up so fast? Otherwise, we wouldn't need to go through so much trouble."

Lin Moyu smiled slightly, "Then good luck, you will definitely get good results."

After Lin Moyu left, Feng Xiu couldn't help but sigh, "I'm afraid he is the youngest second lieutenant in our Shenxia Empire."

Xia Xue didn't quite understand, "Is being a second lieutenant difficult?"

She knew nothing about military matters.

Feng Xiu sighed, "It's extremely difficult. Killing one ordinary demon below level 40 grants 100 military merits."

"A second lieutenant needs at least 10,000 military merits, and he is a two-star second lieutenant, so he has at least 20,000 military merits."

"Tell me, is it difficult or not?"

"Many level 40 Professionals haven't even reached the rank of second lieutenant."

The group gasped. From the education they received since childhood, they knew that demons were very powerful. Killing one was already very difficult, let alone hundreds. This wasn't just a little difficult.

Feng Xiu's eyes sparkled with hope, "How did he do it?"

The next day, Ning Yiyi came to find Lin Moyu for breakfast early in the morning.

She was hopping and skipping, and her mood was very good. Apparently, what happened after she went home yesterday was very pleasant.

"Yesterday, my grandfather was given a big fright by me."

Ning Tairan was indeed given a fright by Ning Yiyi. In just a few days, she went from a private to a two-star second lieutenant; it would be strange if he wasn't frightened.

Ning Yiyi wasn't a top-tier Professional who could wipe out a large area of demons with one skill. She was only level 26.

Lin Moyu smiled, "And then?"

Ning Yiyi stuffed food into her mouth, "After that, I told him about what happened these past few days, and then my grandfather got angry and said he was going to tear down God Bai's house."

What was that about? Why would he tear down God Bai's house? Lin Moyu couldn't understand at all. Was there any causal connection between these things?

Ning Yiyi explained, "He said God Bai sent you to such a dangerous place, and I followed, and he didn't even tell him."

So that was it. Lin Moyu couldn't help but chuckle.

"But it's okay; the two of them have been bickering for who knows how many years, and I'm already used to it."

"A few days ago, they even went to the Guluo Theocracy together, razed the Guluo Theocracy to the ground, and incidentally, completely killed that guy Logus."

Lin Moyu was speechless. Bai Yiyuan hadn't told him about this. Needless to say, it was all done for him.

Lin Moyu knew clearly that Bai Yiyuan was very good to him.

Ning Yiyi also mentioned the matter of killing Young Guild Master Wang Zihao and warned Ning Tairan not to spread it. Ning Tairan naturally agreed readily; otherwise, the consequences would be very serious.

After eating, Ning Yiyi bought a pile of food, giving the reason that if she couldn't get used to the food in Nanhong City, it was better to be prepared.

Lin Moyu smiled and let her be; this wasn't a big deal.

As one of the few super-large cities in the Shenxia Empire, Nanhong City was not much worse than the capital, Xiajing City.

Hundreds of teleportation arrays were lined up, and countless Professionals were constantly walking out of the teleportation arrays.

For this 100th Professionals Tournament, the Shenxia Empire was fully prepared. They built a large number of facilities to supply the Professionals who came from all over the world to participate.

Accommodation was sufficient, food was sufficient, and everything was the best. Moreover, all of this was free.

This demonstrated the powerful strength of the Shenxia Empire; a vast empire was by no means comparable to an ordinary small country.

"So many people!" Ning Yiyi opened her eyes wide with curiosity. She had never seen such a scene before; dense, countless heads, all of whom were Professionals.

Jiang Taotao smiled and said, "These are only Professionals below level 40. High-level Professionals after the second transfer are in another place, and there are no fewer people there than here."

For Professionals, leveling up to 70 and completing the third transfer might be difficult, but most Professionals could manage to complete the second transfer. It could be said that Professionals below level 70 accounted for more than 95% of all Professionals.

Therefore, when designing the level groupings for the Professionals Tournament, only Professionals below level 70 were considered. Professionals above level 70 would not come to participate.

Then, Professionals below level 70 were divided into groups of 10 levels for the competition. This appeared to be fairer.

The rules had been passed down for hundreds of years, and now it was the 100th tournament; no one had raised any objections for a long time.

Jiang Taotao had already understood the competition rules and accommodation. She was like a big sister, leading everyone to the Xiajing Academy base. Along the way, she explained the specific competition rules to everyone.

"This year's rules are unprecedentedly grand, exceeding any previous tournament. According to incomplete statistics, the number of teams coming to participate will exceed 100,000."

Hearing this, everyone showed expressions of shock.
