On the ancient path across the wasteland, three figures were making their way forward.

"Boss, how is your strength so formidable?"

"Boss, what was that finger technique you used just now, it could even crush an upper grade Earth Artifact with just a pinch, it's truly impressive."

"Boss, are you some old monster hiding your cultivation, pretending to be weak to take advantage of others?"

"Boss, where are you from?"

"Boss, why aren't you speaking?"

"Boss..."

A figure as fat as a ball seemed to roll forward on the ground, continuously chattering beside the young man's ear, spitting as he spoke.

"Can you shut up?"

Wang Ruoxie glared at him and said.

He never expected that after he saved this guy named Qian Duoduo, he would stick to him like glue, unwilling to let go. The most unacceptable thing was that the guy was a chatterbox.

All along the way, Qian Duoduo's mouth never stopped, continuously asking him strange and bizarre questions.

No matter how he tried to drive him away, the guy shamelessly followed him, even insisting on calling him 'boss'.

"Okay, boss, I promise not to speak anymore."

Qian Duoduo glanced at the blackened face of Wang Ruoxie, hurriedly nodding in agreement.

Wang Ruoxie gave Qian Duoduo a speechless look. This was the umpteenth time the guy had promised, at most he would stay quiet for a while, before continuing to ask various questions.

On the side, Xiao Ningyue couldn't help but smile when she saw Wang Ruoxie's helpless expression.

That smile was like a hundred flowers blooming, making the entire world seem much brighter.

"So beautiful!"

Qian Duoduo's gaze was fixed on Xiao Ningyue's stunning face, murmuring.

Even though it wasn't his first time seeing Xiao Ningyue smile, he couldn't help but be captivated.

"Wipe your drool."

Wang Ruoxie rolled his eyes at Qian Duoduo. Staring at Xiao Ningyue in a daze was one thing, but he was drooling. If he hadn't seen no lecherous look in his eyes, Wang Ruoxie might have hit him.

"Ahem ahem..."

Qian Duoduo coughed dryly a few times, then wiped his drool, his face unusually showing a blush of shame, which made Wang Ruoxie's heart tremble, inwardly calling him a fiend.

"Boss, are you heading to the Imperial Capital to join the Black Dragon Guards?"

Qian Duoduo asked Wang Ruoxie in a rare moment of seriousness.

"Yeah, Ningyue and I both plan to join the Black Dragon Guards."

Wang Ruoxie nodded in response.

"Great, I'm also planning to join the Black Dragon Guards. We can go together."

Qian Duoduo cheered, saying.

"You want to join the Black Dragon Guards too?"

Wang Ruoxie looked at Qian Duoduo with suspicion.

It wasn't that he looked down on Qian Duoduo, but this guy, although he had the cultivation of the Third Layer of the Acupoint Condensation Realm and wasn't weak, obviously looked like a pampered family young master, not to mention his body weighing several hundred pounds, he really didn't look like someone intending to join the Black Dragon Guards.

It's known that the Black Dragon Guards are the most powerful military force of the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty, each one a carefully selected elite, including many true genius powerhouses.

More importantly, once joining the Black Dragon Guards, one must go to the Outer Battlefield to battle with the evil demons of the Evil Land.

"Boss, you're making me sad. Although I'm fat and not very brave, I'm still a man of seven feet tall, and joining the Black Dragon Guards has been my dream since childhood."

With a look of grievance, Qian Duoduo said to Wang Ruoxie.

"Alright then, let's head to the Imperial Capital together, but you must promise me one condition: don't ask me those weird questions anymore, or we'll part ways right now."

Wang Ruoxie raised goosebumps at Qian Duoduo's pitiful gaze, reluctantly nodding in agreement.

"Boss, I swear I won't ask any more questions. If I don't keep my word, let me be stuffed to death by food, let me be crushed to death by countless beauties."

Qian Duoduo immediately extended three pudgy fingers, solemnly swearing.

Seeing Qian Duoduo's clownish behavior, Xiao Ningyue couldn't help but chuckle, leaving the guy dumbfounded again.

With a faint smile on his lips, Wang Ruoxie realized that with Qian Duoduo around, the journey might be extraordinarily lively, but at least it wouldn't be too boring.

The three of them traveled day and night, finally reaching the outskirts of the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty's Imperial Capital after twenty days.

Gazing at the vast ancient giant city before him, Wang Ruoxie couldn't help but marvel. The Imperial Capital of the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty was likely more expansive than the entire East Victory Kingdom.

The city walls of the Imperial Capital stood hundreds of feet high, entirely forged from black Profound Iron Gold Stone, as hard as an upper grade Earth Artifact. Numerous defense arrays were inscribed upon them, probably even a Martial Cultivator in the Purple Mansion Realm couldn't breach its defenses in a short time.

Moreover, Wang Ruoxie could feel that a Forbidden Sky Array seemed to be set within the Imperial Capital, forbidding flight inside the city.

He also saw, atop the city walls, rows of inscribed cannons emitting a terrifying aura, giving a tremendous sense of oppression.

These inscribed cannons, though not as powerful as the Annihilation Cannon fitted on his Soul Boat, if bombarded together, could likely threaten Martial Cultivators in the Purple Mansion Realm.

This towering ancient giant city stood there, as if it were an ancient fierce beast lying on the ground, ready to launch a deadly attack at any moment.

Raising their footsteps, Wang Ruoxie and the two others headed toward the city gate, where dozens of soldiers in silver battle armor stood solemnly by each side of the gate.

These soldiers had at least the early stage of the Acupoint Condensation Realm, the weakest at the First Layer, the strongest at the Third Layer, each exuding an intense murderous aura.

Clearly, they were all battle-hardened elite soldiers, undoubtedly possessing not insignificant strength.

"As expected of the Imperial Capital of the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty, even the gate guards have such formidable cultivation power."

Xiao Ningyue muttered with a gleam of surprise in her eyes.

"Sister Yue, these are just ordinary Silver Armor Guards. If it were the Black Dragon Guards, with their age, they wouldn't even qualify to join."

Qian Duoduo said with a flattering smile to Xiao Ningyue.

This guy shamelessly insisted on calling Xiao Ningyue 'Sister Yue', despite being a year older than her.

And after Xiao Ningyue's repeated but fruitless corrections, she could only let him be.

Upon hearing Qian Duoduo's words, Wang Ruoxie nodded inwardly. Although his cultivation was indeed inferior to these Silver Armor Guards, his strength far surpassed those of the same realm.

Most importantly, he was only twenty, much younger than these Silver Armor Guards, hence making him eligible to join the Black Dragon Guards, unlike these guards.

This also signifies that in terms of personnel selection, the Black Dragon Guard is quite similar to a sect.

"Who are you people? What business do you have in the Imperial Capital?"

Upon reaching the city gate, a soldier stepped forward to inquire.

"We're here to join the Black Dragon Guards."

Qian Duoduo promptly replied.
