Story Role / Major Arcs

Recruit Selection

Qin Jue initially laments the apparent lack of exceptional recruits under his command while being mocked by Mu Zijun, whose contingent includes Xiao Longcheng. He also discusses the Red Flame Army's mounting casualties and the threat posed by the Demon God Society. 15

After Lu Yun enters the Hidden Dragon Ranking, Qin Jue summons him and offers personal backing within the army. He further promises 1,000 origin stones if Lu Yun claims first place in the Centurion selection, though he estimates Lu Yun's chance against Xiao Longcheng at less than ten percent. 18

During the selection, Qin Jue joins the other officers in allowing Lu Yun and Xiao Longcheng to advance directly to the finals rather than participate in the general points matches. He is delighted when Lu Yun proves able to contend evenly with Xiao Longcheng. 23 24
