"Sister Yue, your strength is incredible."

Qian Duoduo found himself slightly lost in the mesmerizing scene before him and could not help but smack his lips as he spoke.

Wang Ruoxie and Dugu Mo also showed a hint of amazement in their eyes.

Although Xiao Ningyue, with the Cultivation of the Third Layer of the Acupoint Condensation Realm, had passed the Second Layer of the Nine-layered Tower, proving her strong capabilities, witnessing it firsthand left them all deeply shocked.

One must understand, the Guardian Puppets in the Nine-layered Tower are merely Puppet Beasts and in many aspects, cannot compare to a Martial Cultivator.

Moreover, Xiao Ningyue's recent attack had simultaneously wiped out nearly ten Martial Cultivators, including three at the Fourth Layer, one at the Fifth Layer, and one at the Sixth Layer of the Acupoint Condensation Realm.

Clearly, Xiao Ningyue's true strength has far surpassed a typical Sixth Layer Acupoint Condensation Realm cultivator. Even if she still can't compare to a Seventh Layer, the gap isn't significant.

Wang Ruoxie admitted that with his current strength, he couldn't achieve such feats.

Dugu Mo also understood that even if he were at the Third Layer of the Acupoint Condensation Realm, he would still not be able to kill those individuals as effortlessly as Xiao Ningyue did.

"It seems that by fighting the Guardian Puppets in the Nine-layered Tower, Ningyue has increased her control over the Nine Yin Profound Body by another level."

Wang Ruoxie thought to himself.

The power of the Nine Yin Profound Body was something he understood very well. The former Profound Lady, at the age of sixteen, had perfectly controlled the Nine Yin Profound Body.

In no time, the Profound Lady had raised her Cultivation to the Celestial Monarch Realm, and her real strength was comparable to an ordinary Celestial Emperor Realm.

He believed that if Xiao Ningyue were given enough time, her future achievements would undoubtedly rival those of the Profound Lady.

"Brother Wang, Fatty, Miss Ningyue, let us part ways here."

At this moment, Dugu Mo spoke to the three.

"Brother Dugu, are you planning to head directly to the Outer Battlefield?"

Wang Ruoxie asked, looking toward Dugu Mo.

"Yes, only by continually battling those Evil Demons from the Evil Land can I swiftly master the sword in my hand."

Dugu Mo nodded in response.

"In that case, we'll see you at the Outer Battlefield."

Wang Ruoxie chuckled lightly and said.

He knew that once they joined the Black Dragon Guard, it wouldn't be long before they would be dispatched to the Outer Battlefield to fight those Evil Demons.

"Very well, see you at the Outer Battlefield."

For once, a faint smile appeared on the usually aloof face of Dugu Mo, and he nodded.

"Ice Face, wait for us at the Outer Battlefield, and make sure you don't die."

Qian Duoduo also spoke, with a hint of reluctance in his voice.

"Fatty, don't worry, I doubt anyone capable of killing me, Dugu Mo, has been born yet."

Dugu Mo gave Qian Duoduo a faint smile and replied.

"Take care."

Xiao Ningyue also bid farewell to Dugu Mo.

"Mm, you all take care as well."

Dugu Mo nodded slightly, and with a tremble of his form, he soared into the sky and soon vanished from sight.

Afterwards, Wang Ruoxie and the other two didn't delay further and returned to the Dragon Guard Camp.

Once Xiao Ningyue registered her information, she officially became a Black Dragon Guard. By passing the Second Layer of the Nine-layered Tower, she received the Two Dragon Order, naturally promoting her to a Centurion.

Wang Ruoxie, Xiao Ningyue, and Qian Duoduo are now Black Dragon Guard leaders. Even though Wang Ruoxie's rank as a Chiliarch is considered low-tier, the treatment is still much better than that of an ordinary soldier.

Not only do they receive a monthly reward of Pure Yang Pills, but they also have their own accommodations.

It's well known that each room in the Black Dragon Guard is equipped with a high-tier Spirit Gathering Array, ensuring training there is twice as effective with half the effort.

Ordinary Black Dragon Guard soldiers, however, must live in shared tents, a far cry from the leaders' quarters.

After a brief conversation, the three returned to their respective residences.

"Tomorrow, Deputy Commander Lei Xing will arrive, and he will likely lead us directly to the Outer Battlefield."

Wang Ruoxie contemplated inwardly. With his current strength, unless he used a Soul Boat, he would likely find it hard to protect himself upon arriving at the Outer Battlefield.

After all, his opponents wouldn't merely be one or two enemies but thousands of Evil Demon armies, which might also include powerful Acupoint Condensation Realm demons and even those at the Purple Mansion's level.

It seems he must break through to the Acupoint Condensation Realm as soon as possible. Even having the Cultivation of the First Layer would give him the confidence to exit the Outer Battlefield unscathed.

Immediately, Wang Ruoxie sat cross-legged on his bed, operating the Nine Transformation Primordial Scripture to begin cultivating.

Though he knew he couldn't advance to the Acupoint Condensation Realm overnight, cultivation is a process of accumulation. Without sufficient treasure resources, it requires years of painstaking effort to naturally break through one's Cultivation Realm eventually.

...

The next day, at dawn.

Wang Ruoxie, Xiao Ningyue, and Qian Duoduo, along with other Black Dragon Guard soldiers, gathered on an immense training ground.

Soon, thousands of people congregated on the square, most of whom were ordinary soldiers, while others were Decurions, Centurions, and Chiliarchs, classified as low-tier leaders.

"Leader, those guys are here too."

At this moment, Qian Duoduo quietly mentioned to Wang Ruoxie.

Following Qian Duoduo's gaze, Wang Ruoxie saw Zhuge Ming, Feng Yangyu, and others glaring at them coldly.

He couldn't care less about them, unless they bothered him, in which case, he wouldn't be lenient.

He noticed that aside from Feng Yangyu, the others who had made it into the top one hundred at the trial weren't present.

They must have joined the Black Dragon Guard earlier and gone to the Outer Battlefield to fight against the Evil Demon armies.

Moments later, a middle-aged man clad in black battle armor approached.

The black battle armor on this middle-aged man bore the insignia of four black dragons on the chest, indicating his position as Deputy Commander.

Evidently, he was Deputy Commander Lei Xing.

"Greetings, Lord Lei Xing."

Once Lei Xing reached the center of the square, everyone saluted him.

"No need for formalities."

Lei Xing's somewhat stern face softened with a smile, and he addressed them, "Ladies and gentlemen, you are all elites from various regions, true genius powerhouses. On behalf of Lord Commander, I welcome you to join our Black Dragon Guard."

After a pause, he continued, "I believe you all know the Black Dragon Guard's mission and understand what we will face."

"I can give you a chance to opt out because I don't want you to become cowards scorned by all on the Outer Battlefield, nor do I wish for your lives to be lost in vain out of fear."

After speaking, Lei Xing scanned the crowd, seemingly waiting for anyone to step forward and withdraw.

However, having decided to join the Black Dragon Guard, everyone had already prepared themselves mentally and naturally wouldn't opt out now.

Moreover, even if fear lingered in their hearts, they wouldn't show it publicly.
