Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 433: Chapter 326: Army Formation, Top Talent! (Double Chapter)

He had recited these words many times before, and this time he repeated them word for word.

”Of course, I accept!” Li Wang couldn’t believe his luck and was overjoyed, no longer contemplating rejection.

For Song Changming, accepting this person was merely a matter of a word, and soon he put it out of his mind, focusing on the other people in the martial arts arena.

As for the future trajectory of this young man, when he is worthy of attention, he will naturally appear in Song Changming’s field of vision, and for now, it’s unnecessary to pay too much attention.

As the examination reached the latter stages, a hubbub suddenly erupted in the arena.

”This person is so strong!”

”Such a massive Sea Stabilizing Stone, it must weigh tens of thousands of pounds, yet he can lift it directly, and it seems he hasn’t even used his full strength!”

”My heavens, that’s Innate Qi Aura!”

”...”

Song Changming and a group of soldiers also turned to look, seeing in the corner of the martial arts arena where the Sea Stabilizing Stone was placed, someone had picked up a stone several times larger than a millstone.

His breath was steady, and his entire body was surrounded by a violent Innate Qi Aura, holding up the massive Sea Stabilizing Stone above his head with apparent ease.

”This person...” Feng Xingzhuo’s face also showed a few serious expressions as he carefully scrutinized the martial artist participating in the examination.

”General, a capable person has arrived!”

”It seems fortune is on our side this time,” Song Changming said with a faint smile.

In a typical recruitment, encountering Innate Martial Artists is a rarity, especially with such frequent monthly conscriptions, the best quality recruits are naturally fewer than before.

Moreover, the number of powerful wanderers from the civilian world is pitifully few, most martial artists who can step into the Innate Realm are inevitably nurtured by the sect behind them.

Otherwise, ordinary martial artists couldn’t obtain even a piece of the necessary Martial Arts Inheritance for cultivation.

Additionally, the children of those illustrious Noble Families in the city, although possessing strong Innate Power, have direct arrangements from their families when they want to join the military, without needing to undergo this new soldier examination.

They enter the army often through direct placement.

All these reasons combined make it rare to encounter exceptional figures in ordinary recruitment examinations.

But today, here is one!

”How about it?” Xia Mu looked at the evaluating soldiers nearby and asked plainly.

”Pass, passed!” The soldier, looking at the enormous Sea Stabilizing Stone being held high, immediately said.

In all his times overseeing the examination grounds, this is definitely the heaviest Sea Stabilizing Stone he’s seen lifted by someone other than Feng Xingzhuo.

This Sea Stabilizing Stone weighs about ninety thousand pounds, and in the army, even regular Centurions might not be able to lift it.

Yet, this person does it with ease, clearly not reaching his limit in lifting this Sea Stabilizing Stone.

”If this person passes the examination, he might become a Centurion directly in the troop!” The soldier, astonished, also concluded in his heart.

Xia Mu nodded, put down the Sea Stabilizing Stone, and was about to proceed to other examination points.

Suddenly, a voice came.

”Why not try out the other Sea Stabilizing Stones as well? The better you perform, the higher your starting position in the military will be.”

”Hmm?” Xia Mu turned and looked at the approaching Song Changming, pausing briefly his gaze on the steadfast Flowing Cloud Armor worn by the Commander.

”General!” The soldier greeted as Song Changming entered the arena.

Song Changming waved his hand, his gaze still on the man whose turbulent Innate Qi Aura had gradually calmed down.

The man appeared as if he had not groomed himself for a long time, his beard growing wildly like weeds, looking inexplicably desolate and weathered.

But upon closer inspection, one could see that the man’s features were actually quite handsome.

Wearing simple clothes, he carried a big saber sheathed diagonally behind him, which was quite conspicuous.

The long blade and its handle were almost the same length, together measuring more than two meters, exuding a metallic coldness and sharpness.

”Good.” Xia Mu responded softly and without hesitation, and proceeded towards the heaviest Sea Stabilizing Stone.

This Sea Stabilizing Stone was the size of a house; Song Changming himself had lifted it during his examination, knowing its weight to be roughly two hundred and fifty thousand pounds!

Even with Innate Qi Aura as support, lifting it was certainly no easy task.

Xia Mu approached, directly unleashing a tempestuous Innate Qi Aura, enveloping the entire Sea Stabilizing Stone, before clenching his hands and finding a leverage point to exert force.

This time, he clearly got serious, even his eyes seemed to be erupting with Innate Qi Aura.

With a low growl, the Sea Stabilizing Stone trembled, causing the entire martial arts field to seem as if it were shaking.

The Sea Stabilizing Stone gradually lifted bit by bit, eventually being held high above Xia Mu’s head!

This scene incited even more fervent discussion inside and outside the arena.

It’s been a long time since such a mighty warrior appeared in the new recruit examination!

Even previously Feng Xingzhuo had not shown such extreme display.

”Three Earth Martial Veins, his Qi Refining Cultivation is almost comparable to Feng Xingzhuo, indeed he has strength.” Song Changming assessed the man’s ability and nodded silently.

Actually, further examinations weren’t necessary.

However, after thinking about it, Song Changming did not interrupt his demonstration, continuing to watch from the sidelines.

After making a notable impression by lifting the Sea Stabilizing Stone, Xia Mu proceeded to the subsequent tests.

His comprehensive performance was nearly perfect, even his Martial Arts and Swordsmanship skills were profoundly advanced, far from resembling a typical Martial Arts Wanderer without background.

Soon, only one practical combat examination remained.

”General, an ordinary Centurion might not be able to handle him, let me be the assessment officer for this round.” Feng Xingzhuo volunteered to Song Changming.

”Alright then.” Song Changming nodded.
