Chapter 280: Zi Jiao's Challange - Part 9
The queue was walking slowly, the appraiser wore a crystal ball that he had on a table to see the level of the participants, it was not necessary to see the statistics since this was something personal.
Although some reviewers looked at those who had a high level, this worked only if the person had a level above 80 or 90 depending on the appraiser.
The appraiser of the Zi Jiao's queue was a middle-aged man, he had a fierce appearance and wore a set of refined steel armor. He just looked at the information on the crystal ball and then gave the person a nameplate.
When it came to Zi Jiao's turn, the man just pointed to the crystal ball, information on the level began to appear. The man just jotted down the level, she was level 67.
After receiving the nameplate, Zi Jiao went to the location she was assigned to. According to the nameplate, she was a conscript of the fourth battalion of the imperial army, everyone in that battalion had levels between 60-80.
The place was common with several training camps for archers, wizards and warriors. There were already several training groups in the area, and the new recruits were sitting in one place.
By the time Zi Jiao appeared, she attracted a lot of attention, despite wearing a mask that covered half of her face, her leather clothes revealed their curves. The men had warm eyes when they looked at her, and ordinary women were envious and jealous of her beauty.
Zi Jiao sat on one of the vacant chairs and closed the eyes, all on the spot were waiting for the instructor. She wanted to be alone and not be disturbed, but that would not always happen.
While Zi Jiao was closed-eyed, she did not know what was going on around her, not until someone yelled at her. When she opened her eyes Zi Jiao realized that there was a group of people at the site of the new recruits, they had arrogant auras and disdain as they looked at the group of new recruits.
She did not want to cause any trouble and also did not feel like getting involved with these people, so Zi Jiao just ignored them. The group became angry because of this, one of the young men advanced and tried to attack Zi Jiao.
But a cry is heard, looking toward the voice, they saw a middle-aged man who had a scar on his face, he was the chief instructor of the fourth battalion. The instructor had a wild look on his face when he saw the young man try to attack a new recruit.
The group immediately recoiled when they saw that they would have problems, but before they left, they had a cold and venomous look when they looked at Zi Jiao.
In her mind, when they gave this look, Zi Jiao already considered them people dead, if she found them again outside the city.
The instructor began to give presentations on what the new recruits would have to do and the benefits of enlisting in the military. The tasks of the recruits were to go in the forest to hunt wild animals and bring back the body and watch over the territory of the city, in exchange, they will receive points of merit.
The stronger the beast, the more points of merit the person will receive. These points can be exchanged for items like equipment, weapon, elixir and other things.
Hearing about it, Liu Yang envisioned the daily and repetitive quests of the games in his previous life. To earn as much as possible, one had to do these quests every day and as efficiently as possible to get more points of merit.
Zi Jiao felt motivated when she heard about it, she could level and get points to trade for things she needed.
After the introductions, the instructor asked each to show what kind of skills they had. This was to do the division of daily tasks, as who would be the people who would hunt and who would be those who would go to the city to do security.
The instructor led the new recruits to a training camp, there were dozens of straw puppets in there, each had to show their ability. Some used weapons to attack, while others used magic.
As there were a few hundred new recruits, it took some time until Zi Jiao's turn came, she did not pull out her steel ruler from the space bag. She wore a common sword that was for those who were at level 60, with a single casual cut, Zi Jiao cut the doll in two.
This scene stunned everyone at the scene, for all those who attacked before Zi Jiao, no one had enough power to break the strawman, but now, there appeared someone who managed to destroy with only a casual hit.
The chief instructor had bright eyes, he knew he had found a rare gem. The others were a little jealous of Zi Jiao, although they were at similar levels, their power was totally different.
The instructor asked Zi Jiao to show off her weapon, this was to show others that the weapon could change a lot in a fight. But sword information was something he had not expected.
When the instructor read the sword information, he was stunned, since it was just an ordinary sword. This meant that the power that destroyed the strawman was not from the sword, but from Zi Jiao, even the other recruits were shocked at what they were seeing.
Many were curious to know what Zi Jiao's background was, as only ordinary people would choose to enlist in the army or minor sects of little influence, it was rare for a person with no background to enter a large sect, only those who came from influential backgrounds they would go to the great sects without any problem.
The instructor knew that the personal information was private secrets of each, so he did not ask Zi Jiao about her background. After reviewing all, the instructor began to distribute the tasks.
Zi Jiao was in the hunting party, she had to tour the city only five days a month. This made her extremely happy, the others were envious of her, for they knew that the instructor favored Zi Jiao because of her power.
The chief instructor dismissed everyone, each had received a small room to use. All new recruits live in a large building, men and women had separate buildings.
The room was small, had only one bed and a small chair and a table, only those three items already occupied ninety percent of the room. Zi Jiao just locked the door and lay on the bed, she was anxious to train tomorrow, her beautiful eyes closed slowly as the image of her young master appeared in her mind.
...
A few months later
Several months have passed since Zi Jiao joined the army, after the first day of hunting, she became the focus of the instructors since she had defeated several beasts that were twenty levels above her. Many instructors from the highest ranking battalions wanted to take it, but the fourth battalion instructor did not allow it.
To help Zi Jiao develop faster, the chief instructor asked one of his superiors, who was a woman, to train her. This was to improve her combat techniques, the instructor saw that Zi Jiao knew only the most common movements.
The commander was a middle-aged woman and wore thin steel armor, she looked elegant and heroic. Despite her age, there were no wrinkles on the face, and the skin was smooth and soft.
Zi Jiao was surprised at the commander's power, she managed to reach level 93 after a few months fighting over creatures stronger than she. Her leveling was very fast and as she always killed dozens of creatures of higher levels, Zi Jiao received many more points of merit.
She spent some of these merit points with basic skills, one of which was the Eye of Truth, which allowed her to see the statistics of people or creatures that were up to 15 levels above her own.
The commander was pleased with Zi Jiao's achievements, she immediately took her to a better training center. Just out of curiosity, she looked at Zi Jiao's statistics and was frightened when she saw it, but soon became extremely excited.
Zi Jiao had supernatural strength and a class she had never heard of. But that did not stop the commander from pulling Zi Jiao to her side.
The future talent training center was a special place that had better weapons and equipment than the ordinary battalions. The arrival of the commander and Zi Jiao caught the attention of everyone in the place because it was rare to see someone new.
The young people on the scene had warm eyes and full of lust when they looked at Zi Jiao, they looked at every part of her body that was protected by steel armor, they were trying to imagine her naked body.
