Crimson subtitles flashed into Wang Xuan's eyes.
Wang Xuan was stunned at first, then his eyes filled with unspeakable joy and excitement!
"Seventh-grade martial art!"
"Ten Sun Blazing Saber!"
"Good! Good! Good!"
"I didn't expect the Mountain Severing Saber Art to be strengthened into a seventh-grade martial art. It seems this is the real way to use attribute points!"
Wang Xuan murmured.
He had been using attribute points to strengthen his physical strength, but now it seemed the real use of attribute points should be to strengthen martial arts, or skill techniques!
"Since attribute points can strengthen martial arts, does that mean attribute points can also strengthen archery and the Tracking Art?"
"But there's no sign of strengthening yet. Is it because archery hasn't reached perfection?"
While pleasantly surprised, Wang Xuan also pondered other uses for attribute points.
"Don't think about it, there's always a way!"
"Attribute points are too important. It seems I can't waste them in the future. Besides breaking through realms, I have to save them for martial arts or techniques!"
Wang Xuan murmured.
He didn't choose to immediately practice the Ten Sun Blazing Saber. He had been in a state of tension all night fighting the Demon-Humans of the Pity Life Sect, and he needed rest.
Wang Xuan took a cold shower and fell into a deep sleep on the bed.
The next morning.
Led by Chen Feng, Wang Xuan arrived at the new recruit camp on time to report.
White Water County has a total of five Centurion garrisons.
But there is only one new recruit camp.
The new recruit training for all five Centurion garrisons takes place in one location. After the assessment, they will be automatically assigned to the five Centurion garrisons.
Wang Xuan came to the training ground of the new recruit camp alone. There were hundreds of people in the training ground, all of whom looked like new recruits.
To the left of the entrance, there was a camp set up, with two Banner Officers inside, responsible for distributing new recruit training items.
"Wang Xuan, reporting for duty."
Wang Xuan entered the camp and cupped his fist towards the two Banner Officers.
The two busy men raised their heads when they heard the sound. One of the burly men saw Wang Xuan, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled brightly.
"So it's Brother Wang."
"I was just saying why you hadn't come yet, but here you are. Here, this is your uniform, and the Frontier Army Basic Breathing Method!"
The man said with a smile, personally handing Wang Xuan a set of cloth armor for training, and the most basic breathing method practiced by soldiers in the army.
Although called cloth armor, it was mainly made of cotton, with a layer of rattan soaked in water wrapped around the outside, looking like armor.
Wang Xuan took the cloth armor, said thank you, and came to a corner of the training ground to change clothes.
After Wang Xuan left, the other person asked in confusion, "Sun Hong, do you know this guy?"
The Banner Officer called Sun Hong replied, "You don't know him?"
"Well, that's right, you're not a soldier under Centurion Yang, so you wouldn't know."
"This guy is someone Centurion Yang values. I heard that he cooperated with the army last night and killed more than a dozen Demon-Humans of the Pity Life Sect!"
Hearing this, the man was shocked!
"More than a dozen Demon-Humans of the Pity Life Sect?"
"Are you kidding me? That kid can kill more than a dozen Demon-Humans of the Pity Life Sect?"
Sun Hong replied, "How could I lie to you? Many people know about this, and they personally saw the corpses of those Pity Life Sect Demon-Humans!"
The man's expression changed again upon hearing this.
"Then according to what you said, this guy is at least a Martial Practitioner at the Iron Skin level, and he is valued by Centurion Yang. Why would he still come to the new recruit camp?"
He was a little puzzled.
Sun Hong sneered and said, "That goes without saying, of course it's for the reward of the special grade assessment!"
Hearing the words special grade assessment, the man fell silent and said nothing more.
Wang Xuan took the cloth armor and breathing method to one side of the training ground, changed into the cloth armor, and looked around the training ground.
Most of the new recruits in the training ground were young people around twenty years old, all of them sallow and thin, and it was obvious that they had come to join the army as a last resort.
In recent years, the demon disasters in the frontier have intensified, and I don't know how many bones have been piled up.
Ordinary people who join the army only become cannon fodder. Unless they have no other choice, people generally do not choose to enter the military camp.
"Hmm, there are also Martial Practitioners?"
Wang Xuan's gaze narrowed slightly at this moment.
Most of the people in the recruit camp were ordinary, but there was still a small portion who had already stepped onto the Martial Path and become Martial Practitioners!
These individuals were dressed lavishly, clearly from extraordinary backgrounds.
Especially three of them, their Martial Path cultivation was not weak, probably already at the Iron Skin level!
"These guys, could they be here for the special assessment?"
Wang Xuan couldn't help but speculate in his heart.
According to Chen Feng, the rewards would be greatly increased after passing the special assessment, and there would even be mysterious rewards!
These three Martial Practitioners at the Iron Skin level were dressed extraordinarily, with a proud and upright demeanor, clearly young masters from wealthy families.
Logically speaking, they wouldn't need to enter the military camp at all, but these young masters still came to the recruit camp.
The only possibility was that they were here for the rewards of the special assessment.
While Wang Xuan was sizing up the people on the training field, the others were also looking around, most of them with nervousness and curiosity in their eyes.
And while Wang Xuan was sizing up those three Martial Practitioners at the Iron Skin level, the three of them seemed to sense something and looked at Wang Xuan in unison.
But after seeing Wang Xuan in his cloth clothes, none of them took him to heart.
Soon, as a whistle sounded, everyone gathered in the center of the training field, while Wang Xuan stood at the back of the crowd.
A burly military officer with a wasp waist and wolf back walked in, leading several Chief Standard Bearers and more than a dozen Banner Officers.
The officer was tall and mighty. Although he didn't deliberately release his aura, Wang Xuan still noticed the majestic Blood Essence within his body!
It was likely that he had already surpassed the Dragon Serpent Realm!
"Silence!"
The officer suddenly shouted coldly.
The sound was like a resounding bell, echoing throughout the entire training field!
The originally noisy crowd instantly quieted down.
"I, this Company Commander, am called Xu Kui!"
"I am your chief instructor for the recruit camp!"
"I am responsible for teaching you the Frontier Army Basic Thirty-Six Form Fist, and the Frontier Army Basic Thirteen Saber Stance!"
"Now, I will demonstrate it to you once, watch carefully!"
As Xu Kui's voice fell, the people present immediately dispersed.
Xu Kui came to the middle of the training field, assumed a horse stance, and began to practice the Frontier Army Basic Thirty-Six Form Fist.
Xu Kui's Martial Path cultivation had already reached the Entangling Serpent Realm, even if he didn't deliberately release Blood Essence, the Blood Essence within his body rumbled like thunder between each punch!
The fist techniques were powerful, each punch like a thunderclap!
Seeing this, Wang Xuan's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Before long, Xu Kui finished practicing the Frontier Army Basic Thirty-Six Form Fist.
"Now, I will demonstrate the Frontier Army Basic Thirteen Saber Stance!"
Xu Kui picked up a Pudao and began to practice the Frontier Army Basic Thirteen Saber Stance.
Instantly.
Saber energy swept through the training field like surging spring thunder!
Leaving the recruits present dumbfounded.
In a few minutes, Xu Kui finished practicing the Frontier Army Basic Thirteen Saber Stance and threw the Pudao to the side.
"Now, I have finished demonstrating for you."
"The rest is up to your own efforts!"
The people present were dumbfounded.
This… this is it?
They only watched it once, didn't even memorize it, and it's over?
Wang Xuan was also stunned by this.
"Fortunately, I have the effect of Double Efficiency, and can achieve photographic memory, otherwise, who could remember after just one demonstration?"
Wang Xuan looked strange and thought to himself.
In recent years, the border wars have been tight, and there is a shortage of soldiers. Logically speaking, they should be vigorously cultivated, but the current situation is a bit strange.
The crowd instantly began to whisper.
Xu Kui ignored the discussions and shouted coldly, "Silence!"
"Now, I will tell you about the recruit assessment standards in seven days!"
"The recruit assessment standards have a total of four levels, A, B, C, and D, which will be judged based on your overall performance!"
"Only those who achieve a Grade C or higher can become Martial Soldiers; the rest are Cannon Fodder!"
"The standard for the assessment is the Frontier Army Basic Thirty-Six Form Fist and Thirteen Saber Stance that I just demonstrated."
"Those who can complete one full demonstration of the basic fist and saber forms will be considered Grade C!"
"The higher the proficiency, the higher the grade assessment!"
"And there are also requirements for the Frontier Army Basic Breathing Method."
"Those who open three acupoints within seven days will directly receive a Grade C assessment, seven acupoints will be Grade B, and fifteen acupoints will be Grade A."
"As for those who open more than twenty, that's a Special Grade!"
"You can directly enter the Special Grade assessment!"
"Of course, the content of the Special Grade assessment will naturally be known when someone meets the standard."
"And those who haven't opened a single acupoint, no matter how proficient they are in saber and fist techniques, will be considered failures and will directly become Cannon Fodder!"
After explaining the assessment standards, Xu Kui turned and left.
The crowd erupted into an uproar.
Opening three acupoints within seven days!
They had all taken a look at the Frontier Army Basic Breathing Method during their free time, and even getting started within seven days was difficult, let alone opening three acupoints!
It was simply a pipe dream!
As for the saber and fist techniques, they hadn't even seen them clearly!
Let alone master them proficiently!
Wang Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this.
He was currently a Martial Practitioner at the Iron Skin level.
Opening the three acupoints recorded in the Frontier Army Basic Breathing Method was not difficult.
But opening twenty acupoints would probably take some time.
Just then.
Wang Xuan saw someone step forward to ask the Banner Officer about the saber and fist techniques.
But upon asking, it cost money!
The Banner Officer directly quoted a price of fifty copper coins for one lesson.
And the Chief Standard Bearer's price was even higher, one hundred copper coins.
Hearing this price, everyone hesitated.
Most of those present were ordinary people; although they could afford fifty copper coins, they couldn't guarantee that they would learn it in one go.
Wang Xuan's expression changed slightly upon seeing this!
"This isn't a military camp; it's clearly a place that devours people!"
