34: Chapter 34: Training period over! Seventh Rank!

This kind of evolution was somewhat unexpected for Li Mo.

The boost from the boundless grade divine weapon was simply too powerful.

It was truly worthy of being the weapon of the former First Martial God!

Li Mo fell asleep satisfied, and after waking up the next day, The Military arranged for them to return immediately to their respective Recruit Camp.

The losses this time were actually quite severe; out of the thirty-two elite recruit teams from the thirty-two Recruit Camp, twenty had been slaughtered by the Black Death Group!

That meant only twelve recruit squads remained!

It was equivalent to The Military losing over sixty future high-ranking officers in one fell swoop!

If it hadn't been for Marshal Yue arriving in time, perhaps even this final spark would have been extinguished.

General Qin Fei took the lesson to heart, not only specifically instructing Li Mo and the others to be careful after returning to the Recruit Camp, but also ordering additional personnel to be stationed near the Recruit Camp to guard the safety of the recruits at all times.

The Black Death Group was an organization not to be trifled with; once targeted, it was like a sticky plaster that one couldn't shake off.

A perfectly good recruit trial had almost become a nightmare for all the recruits.

Fortunately, Moyu Squad had gained quite a bit from this trip; Li Mo had obtained a boundless grade divine weapon and the S-rank cultivation method, Xuanwu True Art, while Zheng Jiahao had also obtained a copy of the Black Death Assassination Technique.

Xu Feng, who had seemed to gain nothing, ultimately received fifty vitality potions as a reward from The Military.

The ending was, at least, safe despite the perils.

Having experienced this near-death encounter, the three of them began to intensify their training after returning to The Military camp.

Although they could be considered top-tier among the recruits, they were still as fragile as paper in front of those true powerhouses.

The Liangyi Realm assassin from the Black Death Group had been someone against whom they had absolutely no ability to resist at the time.

Other than calmly facing death, there was no other path.

Of course, more importantly, they had seen that former Huaxia First Martial God with their own eyes!

That was a Martial God who truly stood at the apex of the Great Xia!

That power had ignited a sense of yearning in the hearts of the three.

When would they be able to reach that realm? Only then could one truly be considered invincible under the heavens!

Therefore, in the time that followed, all the recruits in the Recruit Camp saw the members of Moyu Squad, who had returned from Winter City, training day and night.

They barely stopped for even a moment!

Soon, the three-month recruit training period passed.

Everyone welcomed the All-Army Assessment Assembly.

The so-called All-Army Assessment Assembly meant that after the recruit training period ended, The Military would gather all the recruits who finished their training at the same time into one place.

The purpose of holding this assembly was actually to test the results of everyone's recruit training.

To conduct a comprehensive test of everyone's strength.

The content of the test mainly consisted of realm, base attributes, and so on.

These results would be made public.

Those with outstanding results would be commended by The Military.

Those who ranked at the top might even receive a direct promotion in military rank.

For example, Zhang Ruxue; when her recruit training period ended, she had reached the ninth rank of the Hidden Edge Realm, and her attribute test had ranked ninth at the time.

Therefore, she was promoted directly from an ordinary private to a corporal.

Later, she was promoted step by step to her current rank of second lieutenant.

Although she was still at the ninth rank of the Foundation Establishment Realm now, in reality, she was already considered a cultivator of the Blood Transformation Realm.

The reason the Foundation Establishment Realm is called the Foundation Establishment Realm is because this realm has a very special cultivation method.

That is, if one accumulates enough power in the Foundation Establishment Realm, one will be stronger after entering the Blood Transformation Realm!

Breaking through from the ninth rank of the Foundation Establishment Realm to the Blood Transformation Realm is actually very easy, because after reaching the ninth rank of the Foundation Establishment Realm, every blood vessel in the human body is basically saturated with spiritual power.

As long as one begins to integrate this spiritual power into the cells of the whole body, one can be said to be in the Blood Transformation Realm.

However, the more spiritual power is infused into the blood vessels in the Foundation Establishment Realm, the more spiritual power can be absorbed in the Blood Transformation Realm.

This leads cultivators to accumulate as much spiritual power as possible in the Foundation Establishment Realm before stepping into the Blood Transformation Realm.

The reason Zhang Ruxue at the ninth rank of the Foundation Establishment Realm is stronger than Li Mo's homeroom teacher, Teacher Cao Yun, is for this same reason. Teacher Cao Yun entered the Blood Transformation Realm without accumulating any power after reaching the ninth rank of the Foundation Establishment Realm; he only tried to make his realm appear higher to apply for a teaching position at Starry Sky University.

Zhang Ruxue did not have this need, so of course, she had to accumulate sufficient power.

This morning, Li Mo sat on his bed frame, slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air, and then opened his eyes.

This was his third realm breakthrough this month.

"Foundation Establishment Realm, seventh rank!" Li Mo said slowly, having finally managed to reach the seventh rank of the Foundation Establishment Realm before the start of the All-Army Assessment Assembly.

In two months, he had gone from the first rank of the Foundation Establishment Realm to the seventh rank, spanning a full six ranks!

Looking back at the entire history of the New Era, this was unprecedented!

One must know that the Foundation Establishment Realm is not like the Hidden Edge Realm.

From the first rank to the ninth rank of the Hidden Edge Realm, most people, starting from Martial Arts University—that is, from the age of 18—could basically achieve it within a year.

But starting from the Foundation Establishment Realm, the average time to increase by one rank is about half a year!

If one is a genius, it might take three months!

Even those unparalleled prodigies with talents above S-rank can only manage to increase one rank in two months!

Yet Li Mo had increased by six ranks in two months!

In truth, although SSS-rank talent is rare, it cannot be said to be non-existent.

For example, at Starry Sky University, about one person with SSS-rank talent would appear every ten years or so.

But even such a genius did not have Li Mo's speed of breaking through realms!

It could only be said that Li Mo's Devouring Emperor Body was simply too overpowered; not only could it obtain devour points to strengthen and evolve other talents, mental cultivation methods, and combat techniques, but the talent itself could also evolve!

To be honest, if it weren't for the evolution of Li Mo's Devouring Emperor Body, even if he had trained tirelessly for these past two months, he would have reached at most the fourth rank of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and definitely would not have reached a height like the seventh rank.

At this moment, Li Mo looked at the other two in the dormitory; Zheng Jiahao and Xu Feng also opened their eyes at this time.

After these days of hard training, both of them had also gained significant improvements.

Among them, Zheng Jiahao had already broken through to the second rank of the Foundation Establishment Realm; don't look at his poor talent, which was only D-rank, but he couldn't handle his family being so powerful, with all kinds of heavenly treasures at his disposal, and he had been practicing high-level mental cultivation methods since childhood.

With such conditions, one could smash out a genius even by throwing money at it.

Xu Feng was slightly worse, but he originally possessed S-rank talent, so now he had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Xu Feng glanced at Li Mo and spoke first: "Li Mo, I feel like your strength has become stronger again. Did you break through again?"

"Truly heaven-defying! I remember you were at the sixth rank of the Foundation Establishment Realm ten days ago. If you broke through again, doesn't that make it the seventh rank?"

"Zheng Jiahao, tell me, does the rule of realm breakthroughs not apply to him at all? His breakthrough in the Foundation Establishment Realm is exactly the same as in the Hidden Edge Realm!"

Zheng Jiahao smiled indifferently. He had witnessed Li Mo at his lowest point, so he understood that any achievement Li Mo had attained today was something he deserved.

Suddenly, he stood up and straightened his clothes.

"Let's go! The All-Army Assessment Assembly is about to start! It's time to test the results of our training these past few days!"
