CHAPTER 1000: CHAPTER 998: LEGEND OF THE SOLDIER KING

"Mr. Zhang, since you insist, we won’t stop you," seeing that persuasion was futile, Zorg and the others accepted Zhang Menglong’s decision. "But there’s one thing I must clarify in advance: the selection of warriors for the extraterritorial battlefield is not up to just us. We can register you, but there will be a rigorous selection process."

"Okay, I’ll wait for your notification!"

After this brief communication, Zhang Menglong temporarily returned to Earth with the people from the Super God Academy. Since this time he might be away for a significant period, he needed to arrange affairs on Earth in advance to prevent any chaos.

Lu Yiyao was the person who knew Zhang Menglong the best, and her understanding of the Super God Academy was second only to Zhang Menglong himself. So, she wasn’t worried about Zhang Menglong’s safety. She was the person Zhang Menglong trusted the most. Zhang Menglong entrusted her with all the Black Warriors and also had Makabaka assist her in handling any matters related to Earth.

With the strongest fleet, the strongest army, and a Level Nine life form like Makabaka around, Earth was unlikely to face any unexpected situations.

This time, he only planned to take students from the Super God Academy who had reached the level of Level Five peak life forms or above.

Although those students who were Level Four peak life forms had combat power comparable to ordinary Level Six life forms, Zorg had mentioned that even the mortality rate for Level Six life forms exceeded 95%. On the battlefield, Zhang Menglong couldn’t take care of everyone, so safety had to be the top priority.

The students who had reached the level of Level Five peak life forms had combat power very close to Level Seven life forms. With the various strange things they learned from the Super God Academy, survival shouldn’t be too difficult for them.

Coincidentally, after selecting the Level Five peak students, excluding himself, there were exactly 666 of them.

The students from the Super God Academy were also exceptionally excited about this operation because the Academy had provided various credit rewards based on their contributions. Those who hadn’t reached Level Five peak started training intensely, hoping to reach it soon and thus go to the extraterritorial battlefield.

Those who had qualified were working hard in the remaining time to enhance themselves and earn more credits.

To them, this extraterritorial battlefield seemed more like a place to earn credits.

After waiting for a whole month, Zhang Menglong and some students who enrolled earlier or had better gifts were already showing signs of advancing to Level Six life forms. At this time, they also received a recruitment notice from the extraterritorial battlefield.

This is a conscription campaign conducted by cosmic civilization every few hundred years, and it is also the most stringent conscription of the entire Universal Alliance:

If it’s a Level Five elementary civilization, each civilization must dispatch 1,000 Level Five life forms;

If it’s a Level Five intermediate civilization, then 10,000 Level Five life forms and one Level Six life form are needed;

For a Level Five high-grade civilization, 100,000 Level Five life forms and 10 Level Six life forms are required;

A Level Five peak civilization needs 1 million Level Five life forms, 100 Level Six life forms, and one Level Seven life form.

Of course, the purpose of conscription is not disclosed to the public because the collision of worlds is a very sensitive matter. If this spreads within the cosmic civilization, it could even cause widespread panic.

Even the kings of each Cosmic Empire don’t know where these conscripted warriors will serve. They might believe it’s the Empire Alliance’s peacekeeping forces used to maintain the stability of various Cosmic Empires?

Only those warriors who pass the tests and arrive at the extraterritorial battlefield will know what kind of enemies they will face. By that time, their escape routes will be cut off, and anyone who chooses to escape will be executed by the executioners of the extraterritorial battlefield.

They only have one path to choose: go to the battlefield, either to complete their service in 500 years and return home gloriously or to die in the extraterritorial battlefield.

If someone can survive here for 500 years, their life levels will improve rapidly through battlefield grinding. Some even experience consecutive breakthroughs, and some battle maniacs choose to stay on the battlefield after their service ends.

Of course, those who choose to leave the battlefield can receive a substantial retirement bonus. Even a Level Five life form can get 1 Star Cosmic Coin, which is equivalent to the entire wealth of a Level Five elementary civilization.

Zhang Menglong took 666 students from the Super God Academy and boarded a troop transport ship from the Empire Alliance. Aside from them, the remaining people were Level Five life forms selected from the Twin Whales Cosmic Empire. Most of these people had once entered the Zuda Civilization’s Treasure Hunting Space with them.

Compared to the calm Zhang Menglong and his group, they seemed very anxious because not even Otis knew where this conscription would take place.

However, they heard that as long as they were selected and completed the 500-year conscription, they would receive a reward of 1 Star Cosmic Coin, which made them incredibly excited. After all, if they were to accumulate such wealth on their own, not even in 500 million years might they manage to.

As for the danger of conscription, they’ve served before. The conscription of the Twin Whales Cosmic Empire involves joining the empire’s army, and this conscription could even last 1,000 cosmic years, with retirement pay amounting to a paltry few million Cosmic Coins, which no one really wants.

They got this opportunity, emerging from hundreds of thousands of Level Five life forms.

After three days of warp travel, they arrived near a desolate planet. This planet had been transformed by the Empire Alliance into a large testing base, where qualified real warrior candidates would be selected.

Across the entire universe’s recruitment campaign, countless such planets existed. According to the needs from the battlefield, this time they needed to supplement at least 10,000 Level Seven life forms, 100,000,000 Level Six life forms, and 1 trillion Level Five life forms.

But to the battlefield, quantity isn’t the priority; quality of warriors is what matters. Because resources on the extraterritorial battlefield are limited, they can’t waste resources on trash; they need the most elite warriors. Even for cannon fodder, they want the most elite cannon fodder.

The entire planet was filled with one machine after another. Judging by their appearance, they seemed to be instruments for testing strength and speed because, regardless of what martial dao secret skills a life form had learned, these two most fundamental indicators were the subsequent reflections.

On this planet, billions from various civilizations had gathered as Level Five life forms, unaware that this conscription, which excited them so greatly, was actually a huge trap. Perhaps for them, failure would be a blessing.

"Welcome everyone to Test Plaza No. 1732. I am Xinuoke, the person in charge of this selection," a Level Six life form appeared in the center of the plaza.

"What a strong smell of blood," Zhang Menglong sensed an aura of iron and blood from him, similar to that of Ozer from before. He must also be someone from the extraterritorial battlefield.

Xinuoke stood about 240cm tall, boasting powerful muscles, with a very noticeable scar on his face that seemed like a medal earned from the battlefield.

"Dean, this person’s life level is Level Six peak, but I reckon he could hang an ordinary Level Seven elementary life form out to dry!"

"Interesting," Zhang Menglong couldn’t help but become more eager for the extraterritorial battlefield. "Gou Dan, what do you think about creating a legend of the soldier king on this battlefield?"
