After the banquet, Zhou Yuan became much more familiar with the men of the Shenbi team.
Although we still don’t know each person’s true nature, at least we are no longer strangers and have introduced ourselves to each other’s names.
What’s interesting is that among the Shenbi team, which looks like a group of fighting men, there are actually people from noble families.
These people have different desires from the children of good families. The children of good families want official positions and salaries, while the children of aristocratic families want military merit and promotion, and strive for a place in the imperial court to open a spirit chamber.
Only then did Zhou Yuan realize that there was actually a path to great success in the Wei court.
Even though this road is very narrow, there is only one spiritual awakening test every four years, and the number of people selected each time ranges from a few to more than ten people.
But this extraordinary path does exist. This path alone makes the sons of noble families who are not selected by their families willing to work for the court.
In addition, a man from the Qingxi Ma family who was selected to join the army in the camp and was a master of the divine arm from the family revealed it.
In addition to participating in the imperial examination, some well-known Taoist temples and Buddhist temples would also open their doors to accept disciples.
They will select the disciples with the best character and moral character from among the many disciples, accept them into the true teachings, and enlighten their spirits.
Although Taoist temples and Buddhist monasteries each have their own secret realms, they are far from comparable to a powerful force like the Wei Dynasty that occupies a large number of secret realms and builds cities and forts.
Therefore, only the Wei court could hold the Kailing examination stably for a period of four years.
No matter whether it is a Taoist temple or a noble family, the number of places for opening spirits is limited, and one can only be filled when one dies.
"Thank you, Brother Ma, for speaking frankly. It has opened my eyes to the vastness of the world."
"Why thank me? You'll know all this sooner or later even if I don't tell you. If you're interested, just teach me some bow techniques later."
The men of the Shenbi team were interested in Zhou Yuan's archery skills and wanted him to be the coach of the camp.
Fortunately, the military commander Cai Cheng also had his eye on him, and informed him early the next morning to prepare to attack the secret realm.
"How is it? Has your arm fatigue recovered?"
"As stable as ever, shooting quickly is no problem."
"Okay, follow me to beat the drums and gather the troops. We'll finish this month's quota sooner so we can have a good rest for a few days."
Speed is of the essence in war, and the same applies to the soldiers with divine arms and black armor.
Military Commander Cai Cheng didn't want to give these soldiers time to think about gains and losses. What he wanted was to fight continuously and gather the total number of spiritual objects in one fell swoop.
Zhou Yuan certainly had no objection to this. He still had many skills waiting to be upgraded and was in urgent need of experience.
"Dong, Dong, Dong..."
The dull sound of drums echoed throughout the training grounds, and the soldiers in black armor and divine arms quickly went to the door of the warehouse and lined up to wait for orders.
Zhou Yuan was one of them yesterday, but today he stood next to the military commander Cai Cheng.
Many of the Xuanjia soldiers had not heard of his reputation as a sharpshooter and only thought that he was a member of a noble family who came to seek military merit.
"Divine Arm Team Four, Black Armor Team Five, step out! Brothers, follow me into battle."
A day later, when Zhou Yuan entered the Niutou Village dungeon again, his feelings were completely different.
He was somewhat nervous yesterday, but today he was confident and calm.
The full-level bow control skill, coupled with yesterday's detailed understanding of Niutou Village, gave him the ability to projectiles from a long distance.
Now he could just take a few quick glances and judge the landing point, and then use the projectile to nail the bandits on the village wall to death.
"Raise your shield and kill the archers first."
As soon as the military commander Cai Cheng gave the order, Zhou Yuan fired three arrows in a row and took away three bandit archers.
He did not want to eat alone, and left the other three bandit archers to the four sharp-armed warriors in the same team.
When he reached the wooden arrow tower, without the command of the military commander Cai Cheng, he shot four arrows through the arms of the four bandit archers, completely eliminating the threat of long-range arrows.
Since there were many bandits in the battles outside the village and at the village gate, Zhou Yuan did not hold back and quickly shot down 20 of them.
"Military Commander, the battle went very smoothly today, and most of our brothers were not injured.
Why don't we go out and change our equipment instead of changing people."
At this moment, a feeling of smoothness lingered in the soldiers' hearts.
They never thought that killing in the secret realm, which was full of dangers and could easily lead to injuries, would one day become so smooth.
The soldiers of the Black Armor Team only thought that today's Divine Arm Hand was more powerful.
Military commander Cai Cheng and several sharpshooters knew that a real sharpshooter had joined the team, and he was a very talented and swift shooter.
"The rules cannot be abolished, otherwise the Xuanjia warriors waiting behind will feel negligent.
If we use them in a fierce battle again, they will inevitably lack awareness and become fearful."
"promise."
After receiving the order, the Xuanjia team said no more and quickly exited the dungeon, allowing another team of Xuanjia warriors equipped with hook-and-sickle spears and iron tower shields to enter.
"Zhou Yuan, your sharpshooting skills are almost inhuman.
"You should be more restrained in the future and not let your soldiers develop a habit of dependence. Otherwise, when a bloody battle comes, their fighting spirit will easily collapse and they will become timid and fearful."
“Furthermore, the camp has a limit on the number of secret realm attacks it can conduct each month.
If we improve efficiency and increase output, the court will think we have room for improvement.
If a document were to come down at that time, the soldiers would not even have time to rest and would surely be engaged in bloody battles and suffer heavy casualties."
Military Sima Cai Cheng's meaning is very clear. In a life-threatening business, one cannot push oneself to the limit, otherwise, once one passes the peak state, one will inevitably suffer the consequences.
There is also the most important point that Cai Cheng did not mention, which is the issue of gratitude.
If he didn't injure a few soldiers every time he left the secret realm, how would Captain Jing'an, as a warrior, know that the soldiers were feeding him with bloody battles.
By then, will he still treat his soldiers well for a long time? I'm afraid not. How can he receive favors without blood loyalty?
"Thank you for your advice, Military Commander. I will pay attention to the frequency of my bows to avoid disrupting the original rhythm of the attack."
"As long as you understand, since I am your direct superior, I will seek good treatment for you.
Fighting bravely is just following orders, but stable treatment is the capital for a soldier's survival."
After the second team of black armor soldiers arrived, Zhou Yuan slowed down his bow shooting rhythm and did not look for opportunities to shoot a series of arrows to empty the boss's health bar.
Therefore, several soldiers in this team of black armor were still injured. When the boss of the bandit group fell, the soldiers who had won the bloody battle burst into cheers.
They are cheering for their own victory and value. They are brave warriors who fought bloody battles.
"That's right. If we don't bring back any blood, how can we get the name of Blood Battle Black Armor?"
Although Zhou Yuan did not go all out in this attack on the secret realm, he maintained the value of gratitude on which the soldiers of the Divine Arm and Black Armor depended for their survival.
Military Commander Cai Cheng thought he was a sensible young man, and he also took the opportunity to understand some of the rules of the camp.
But even so, his gains from this copy still surpassed the last time.
Last time he got a total of 520 experience points, 5 Golden Wound Medicines, 3 Jade True Powders, and some other items.
This time, I got 780 experience points, 9 Golden Wound Medicines, 3 Jade True Powders, and more other miscellaneous items than last time.
With this experience, he will be able to upgrade the level 3 【Big Bear Pile】 to the maximum level.
You can also get 1 point of Qi attribute added by the level 6 【Big Bear Stake】 and 1 point of God attribute added by the level 10 【Big Bear Stake】.
"The Qi attribute is crucial. Will the blue bar automatically appear after breaking a certain value, or do I need to learn a related skill?"
