Chapter 1046: You Have a War Soul

"As long as one is chosen by them, they either become an invincible War God in the military or a special agent possessing unique skills."

"You are a good prospect. With my recommendation, you can skip the selection process and be directly admitted into Tianyuan Pavilion," Chen Yu said indifferently.

"But... such a situation has occurred here. If I leave now, it would be cowardice. Besides, there aren't many of us at this border station; if I leave, our strength will be even more diminished." Liu Zhong hesitated, then shook his head.

"You're overthinking it. This matter wasn't meant for you to handle in the first place; I will deal with it. Furthermore, if you serve the country, you must first make yourself an invincible existence; otherwise, you will only be going to your death," Chen Yu said. "My name is Chen Yu. I have already given you my contact information. Whether you go or not is up to you."

"Thank you. Even if I go, I must finish dealing with matters here. Please take me with you for whatever you are going to do next. At the very least, I need to know why my comrades died. I cannot let them die without knowing the reason." Liu Zhong picked up the military saber that had fallen on the ground and wiped it off.

"That thing just now came from Asura Hell and belongs to a type of Third-Tier Monster from the A-San Divine Sect. Don't even mention your platoon; even a reinforced company equipped with heavy weapons would be in trouble if they encountered it."

Chen Yu said, "Although you have been trained, you are still just an ordinary person. You would only have a dead end if you faced that thing. Are you really not afraid at all?"

"I'm not afraid. I cannot let my comrades die without knowing why. If I encounter that thing again, I will risk my Life to kill one of them." A sharp glint erupted from Liu Zhong's eyes, his fighting spirit intense.

"Good, give me the blade." Chen Yu was highly appreciative and reached out his hand toward Liu Zhong.

Liu Zhong handed the blade in his hand to Chen Yu. Chen Yu's right hand wiped across the edge of the military saber, and a streak of yellow light swept across the blade. Then, this ordinary military saber possessed a layer of different power.

"If you encounter that thing again, just take the blade and go for it. It can directly break its defense; ordinary weapons cannot harm those things," Chen Yu said.

"Thank you." Liu Zhong took the blade, reached out to wipe it, and then tucked it back into his waist.

"Brother Chen, there is the power of Asura in that direction. It's the very center of the village." Yu Sichen suddenly felt something and looked toward the center of the village.

"Let's go, let's go take a look." Chen Yu turned and walked toward the middle of the village.

It was now completely dark, and the power in the village was out, leaving it in pitch blackness. Chen Yu and Yu Sichen were fine; even in the dark, they could see things clearly.

As for Liu Zhong, he was born to be a soldier. Although he had never entered a special department for training, relying on his keen senses and agility, he moved freely in the dark.

Suddenly, with a 'whoosh', a tall figure lunged toward them. In the darkness, one could vaguely see that this thing was three meters tall and held an iron fork; it was exactly the Yaksha they had just encountered.

Yu Sichen moved her hand, and two azure ice blades formed. Just as she was about to attack, she was stopped by Chen Yu.

"Let him handle it." Chen Yu glanced at Liu Zhong on the side.

From the moment the Yaksha appeared, Liu Zhong had been filled with rage. His fighting spirit was fierce, and his eyes sprayed rays of hatred.

The six comrades he brought were all people as close as brothers, yet now his kin had all died at the hands of this ugly monster. How could he not be angry?

Yu Sichen bent her right hand, and the several ice blades in her hand emitted an azure light. Then, they split into six, forming a hexagonal formation, surrounding the three of them in the center.

These ice blades emitted a ghostly blue radiance, illuminating the area of several dozen meters.

The Yaksha seemed to have just crawled out of a Space Rift and was very curious about this world.

Fond of meat, he looked at the three people before him with excited eyes. His pupils, like those of a cold-blooded animal, shrank into slits, and then he raised the fork in his hand and let out a loud howl.

He was expressing his excitement. At this moment, Liu Zhong gripped the blade in his hand tightly, then dashed forward. With a loud roar, he attacked the Yaksha with the blade in his hand.

A look of mockery appeared on the Yaksha's face. He stretched out his right hand, claws spread, and lunged fiercely at Liu Zhong. However, Liu Zhong's body slid across the ground, dodging the opponent's claw, and then his sliding body slashed toward one of the Yaksha's legs.

With a 'pfft', Liu Zhong slashed down, and the Yaksha's leg was cut deep to the bone.

The Yaksha roared, the sound filled with anger and unwillingness. He turned abruptly, and the iron fork in his hand stabbed toward Liu Zhong's body.

Liu Zhong quickly got up, dodged, dashed, and attacked—a series of movements as smooth as flowing water—then circled behind the Yaksha and stabbed his blade toward the Yaksha's back heart.

The Yaksha screamed, and a burst of black gas surged out from his back. He turned around in anger and swung violently, throwing Liu Zhong away.

Liu Zhong hit the ground with a 'thud'. The Yaksha's swing had thrown him, and he felt as if the bones in his body were almost broken.

The Yaksha stared at Liu Zhong in anger, then let out a roar and lunged fiercely toward Liu Zhong. His tall figure stepped down, and his massive foot could have crushed Liu Zhong's skull to pieces.

Just at this moment, Chen Yu pointed his right hand into the void. The Yaksha's figure stiffened, pausing for a moment in mid-air.

This was the moment. Liu Zhong gritted his teeth, climbed up from the ground, grabbed the blade on the ground, and leaped up, heading toward the Yaksha.

'Ssh...' This blade nearly sliced off more than half of the Yaksha's head. The Yaksha's tall body fell to the ground with a 'thud'. Black gas rose from his body; this was a sign of the Dark Power dissipating.

Liu Zhong pounced on him, waving the blade in his hand and hacking wildly. The blade, which had been imbued with Divine Power by Chen Yu, was extremely powerful. With every slash, a golden-glowing wound appeared on the Yaksha's body.

After more than a dozen slashes, the thing finally stopped moving. Immediately after, a light breeze blew by, and his figure vanished into nothingness.

Liu Zhong sat down on the ground and panted heavily. He knew that if Chen Yu hadn't stepped in to help him in time just now, he would have been food in the Yaksha's belly.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen." Liu Zhong panted for a moment, stood up, and cupped his hands toward Chen Yu.

"Your strength is not bad, but your power is still too weak. If you go to Tianyuan Pavilion for some training, and with the power I gave you, you will have the strength to fight when you encounter such things in the future," Chen Yu said.

"I understand. I will go to Tianyuan Pavilion." Liu Zhong nodded. He had already made up his mind; after resolving the matters here, he would go to Tianyuan Pavilion.

In fact, he had heard of this place. After all, it was the country's special department. Those who could be selected were all elites of the military; countless people broke their heads trying to get in. Now that Chen Yu could arrange for him to enter with just a word, Chen Yu's status was naturally not simple.
