"The ’Second Generation Soldier’ rcenary Team actually recruited a new mber? Who is this death-defying soul daring to join their team?" The rcenary responsible for tailing brought the news to the Five Saints rcenary Branch, and Li Rui couldn’t help but express his anger.
"No one knows where that person cos from. It’s said he’s the lover of the prostitute Dongdong from the tavern," the rcenary responsible for tailing didn’t dare get too close; he just relayed the information he had heard to Li Rui.
"Gather so people and teach them a lesson. That Yue Jinghua, I have found him disagreeable for a long ti," Li Rui had been itching for action, towards a small team that could not even secure their own rank, yet dared to strut around before them.
"Li Rui," Luo Lin called out with a serious expression to the eager Li Rui, "The Deacon Elders have issued an order that starting today, the ’Second Generation Soldier’ rcenary Team is not to be troubled."
"What? Those newbie rcenaries don’t follow the rules of the rcenary world, and they dare to encroach upon . Why should I accommodate them? Besides, didn’t you promise earlier that as long as I help the branch and the Divine Court facilitate connections, that broken team would be handled by ?" Li Rui was dissatisfied, as he had always had a good relationship with the rcenary Branch, and Luo Lin had always shown him great respect.
In the past, there were several unspectacular forces handled secretly by Li Rui, and the Five Saints Branch had always turned a blind eye to it.
"Soone has recomnded Yue Jinghua as a representative of the Five Saints Branch to participate in the selection for the ’rcenary Newcor Competition’. You know the rules; if he’s selected as a candidate, he will beco a key training subject of the branch. In order to ensure fairness and transparency before the selection starts, the branch is responsible for protecting his safety comprehensively," Luo Lin had only just received the news, and despite being surprised by it, as a competent receptionist and liaison officer, she enacted the upper managent’s intentions.
"Nominating Yue Jinghua, that rookie! To let an ordinary two-star rcenary participate in such a grand event, have you all gone mad? No, the rcenary Newcor King Competition is held every five years, the last ti being only three years ago," Li Rui was both shocked and anxious, as the rcenary Newcor King Competition is the top-tier event of the rcenary World.
Each rcenary has only one chance in their lifeti to participate in the newcor competition, which accepts entries from young rcenaries under twenty years of age. There are no restrictions on the manner of registration or gender; rcenaries can register individually, as a team, or be recomnded by the rcenary Branch or the public.
While individual and team registrations must pass a preliminary test to advance to the competition, those nominated by the rcenary Branch and the public directly enter the semifinals.
"This ti the circumstances are exceptional. After unanimous consultation between the rcenary Branch, Assassin Alliance, Divine Court, two major countries, and Danlu, to increase the selection and training of young Dark Practitioners, this session of the rcenary Newcor King Competition and the Xuyang Trial will be held jointly; the venue and ti will be notified separately," Luo Lin received the ssage just half a day ago, and the nomination of Yue Jinghua occurred just a quarter-hour earlier.
Only then did Li Rui realize the gravity of the situation, yet he was still sowhat unwilling: "Who recomnded him? Don’t the stewards have the right to veto? Even pulling a headstrong pig would be better than that foolish team captain."
The Five Saints rcenary Branch registers a significant number of rcenaries, but notably, due to the perilous nature of Xuan Beast Ridge, the area mostly comprises veteran rcenaries; there are not many young rcenaries here, and even fewer stand out among those under twenty.
The rcenary Newcor King Competition held every five years always causes much distress to the Five Saints Branch.
"The list hasn’t been finalized yet; everything is still subject to change. Before the stewards confirm the candidates, you temporarily cannot touch the ’Second Generation Soldier’ rcenary Team and Yue Jinghua. Li Rui, I’ve told you many tis to keep your cool. Even if you don’t act, if they can’t accumulate enough points by the end of the year, they won’t amount to much," Luo Lin rubbed her forehead, her head a complete ss as she thought of ways to persuade the branch’s old stewards.
Lately, a lot has indeed been happening in rcenary Town.
The issue of the Ancient Hero Treasure has stirred up storms in the town, the quiet arrival of the Divine Court, and the sudden surge of unfamiliar faces, all beca points of unease in the minds of Luo Lin and the branch stewards.
With so many factors at play, who would still care about the actions of the ’Second Generation Soldier’?
Li Rui’s eyes flickered as he thought to himself that it was impossible for the Second Generation Soldier to recruit the fifth rcenary anyway, so he might as well let them enjoy their mont of pride for a while.
Yue Jinghua naturally had no idea about what had transpired at the Five Saints Branch.
The unexpected appearance of Feng Buhui brought not only news about the tree monster tracking the Devil Crystal, but also a glimr of hope.
After reevaluating Feng Buhui’s transformation into the Demon Crossbow, Yue Jinghua concluded that it was related to her transcribing the Demon Mark from the Lianyun Great Sword onto the Zhuge Crossbow.
In order to prevent Feng Buhui’s condition from relapsing, Yue Jinghua first reinforced his body with diluted Green Liquid.
She then used the Prajnaparamita Needle to re-carve the Demon Mark on his body; with the help of the needle, her skills as a Tattoo Master had greatly advanced.
After her modifications and through his secret practices, Feng Buhui was finally able to shift between human and Demon Crossbow forms more freely.
Five days later, a revitalized Feng Buhui appeared before everyone.
Seeing the imposing Feng Buhui, Dongdong’s eyes widened in disbelief, but soon, her eyes filled with tears.
Feng Buhui had awakened, and now he no longer needed his tainted self; pondering this, Dongdong could no longer bear it and turned to leave.
Seeing Dongdong run away with her face covered, Feng Buhui was at a loss and didn’t know what to do.
"Go after her, you all are as stiff as wood," Yue Jinghua and Shalman urged anxiously from the side.
"Won need to be coaxed, and in this world, n who are rcenaries are the most boring," Helen muttered as she sipped her drink, whether referring to Feng Buhui or perhaps recalling soone from her past.
Feng Buhui scratched his head sheepishly and chased after her.
Yue Jinghua blew a whistle, but then rembered that the rcenary Group still hadn’t reached the legal number of mbers, and her heart sank with vexation.
The longer the delay, the more disadvantageous it beca for her and the rcenary Team. The treasure map had been publicized for quite a while, and once the hype around the map cooled down, those idle rcenary tasks would beco sought after again, making it harder to earn rcenary Points.
The usually reticent Qin Dongting saw her expression, opened his mouth, and blurted out, "I know a freelance rcenary who might be interested in joining our rcenary Group."
Upon hearing this, Yue Jinghua imdiately rolled her eyes, "If soone recomnded, why didn’t you say so sooner? Where is this person? Bring them here imdiately. At this point, I wouldn’t mind even if it were a sow; I’d have it fill in."
