With a full burst of power, Lin Xuan easily kicked his opponent flying, sending him out of the arena and even leaving him seriously injured, coughing up blood.
Then, as if he had done something insignificant, he floated back gracefully to General Chen’s side.
At this moment, both General Chen and General Wang were stunned.
A newly ascended True Immortal had actually defeated a Late True Immortal Realm cultivator, who was also wielding a Middle-Grade Post-Heaven Spirit Treasure!
And, the process of Lin Xuan’s victory was so casual and effortless. He hadn’t gone through a fierce battle, and he didn’t even have a single injury on his body. Not even his hairstyle was messed up.
“What a talent! What a talent! It seems I’ve encountered a genius. A genius of the Body Refinement lineage!”
After his shock subsided, General Chen was overjoyed. He hadn’t expected Lin Xuan to bring him such a huge surprise.
He had initially thought that if Lin Xuan could barely avoid serious injury and walk off the field, it would already be a good outcome. Who would have thought he could actually win, and with a crushing victory at that!
Even in the entire True Immortal realm, there were very few who could achieve such a feat. Not even he could do it when he was at the Initial True Immortal Realm.
“It seems Lin Xuan’s physique is quite extraordinary. His strength and speed far surpass those of his peers.”
“Such a genius, his physical potential must be very high. He should have no problem advancing to the Xuan Immortal Realm…”
General Chen was delighted. He had a genius under his command. Once he became a Heavenly General, they would naturally be connected by mutual interests and could support each other, obtaining more resources in the Heavenly Court!
By then, even Giant Spirit God would be pleased.
Furthermore, Lin Xuan’s unexpected victory made him feel vindicated. Thinking about this, he glanced at General Wang opposite him. General Wang’s face was ashen, and his astonishment was evident.
This was understandable. After all, there were only a very small number of Heavenly Soldiers who could achieve cross-realm combat. When they emerged, they would usually ascend soon after!
“He’s lucky to have such a genius under him. A True Immortal Initial Realm with such battle strength.”
General Wang’s expression was gloomy. He couldn’t help feeling envious and jealous. Why were all the soldiers under his command such useless fools!
A Late True Immortal Realm cultivator with a Fire Cloud Mace, a Spirit Treasure. His strength was even more terrifying than a Peak True Immortal. It was very difficult for cultivators at the same realm to face him head-on. Unfortunately, the Heavenly Soldier Captain under his command had a significant flaw. He lacked speed and was caught off guard by Lin Xuan, instantly defeated!
Of course, Lin Xuan’s strength was also formidable. He managed to withstand the Fire Cloud Mace for a brief moment, giving him the opportunity to achieve victory.
“Cough… Heavenly General…”
At General Wang’s feet, the Heavenly Soldier Captain who had been kicked away by Lin Xuan was horrified. The kick had injured him, and he was coughing up blood. He spoke weakly, pleading for forgiveness.
“You useless fool. You even hold a Middle-Grade Post-Heaven Spirit Treasure given by me, yet you can’t even beat a True Immortal Initial Realm.”
General Wang spat out a few words through gritted teeth. The anger in his heart was burning fiercely. This time, he had come here to mock his rival, but instead, his face was slapped repeatedly. In the future, he would probably not even be able to look General Chen in the eye!
“Hahaha, General Wang, I’ll gladly accept the 20,000 Merit Points and ten Dragon Blood Pills!”
General Chen’s joyful laughter rang out, further darkening General Wang’s face.
Once this matter got out, he would probably become a laughingstock among the other Heavenly Generals!
“Hmph, I don’t need those measly Merit Points and pills.”
General Wang’s expression was stiff. He threw over a gourd of pills and transferred the Merit Points directly through his Identity Token.
“Lin Xuan, these are your winnings. Take them.”
“This time, you’ve brought honor to me and shamed that fellow. I’ll give you another 10,000 Merit Points. Train hard and quickly improve your cultivation.”
General Chen was a straightforward person. After taking the gourd of pills, he immediately handed it to Lin Xuan and took out his Identity Token, directly transferring 30,000 Merit Points to Lin Xuan, adding another 10,000 out of his own pocket!
Most Body Refiners have straightforward personalities. He was happy this time and also intended to cultivate Lin Xuan, this promising talent, so he simply gave all the rewards to Lin Xuan.
“Thank you, Heavenly General.”
Lin Xuan thanked him with a beaming smile. Of course, he wouldn’t refuse. He had gone into battle for those ten Dragon Blood Pills. Adding those to the 30,000 Merit Points, it was a huge reward. It would be foolish to decline.
He would repay General Chen in kind when his cultivation and strength had improved.
Suddenly, he keenly noticed a cold gaze falling upon him. Looking up, he saw that it was General Wang.
“It seems this guy remembers me.”
Lin Xuan’s expression remained calm, and he didn’t care about it.
In the Primordial World, ultimately, the strong ruled. If the other party didn’t come looking for trouble, then that was fine. But if he insisted on starting something, Lin Xuan wouldn’t hesitate to show his skills. At least he was able to defend himself. Once he also became a Heavenly General, he could always get revenge.
Afterwards, General Chen led Lin Xuan to the Heavenly Soldier Academy and assigned him a battalion of 400 Heavenly Soldiers. From then on, these Heavenly Soldiers were under Lin Xuan’s command.
Perhaps because of the Heavenly General’s favor, Lin Xuan noticed that most of his soldiers were veterans. They were slightly better than most other Heavenly Soldiers.
“This is the Basic Formation. Go back and practice it as soon as possible. You may need it when you descend to the Lower Realms to fight demons.”
General Chen also handed him a jade token, containing the Heavenly Soldier Formation. This formation was centered on the Heavenly Soldier Captain and gathered the power of numerous Heavenly Soldiers. Although it wouldn’t create any qualitative change in their strength, it was still better than nothing.
Following that, Lin Xuan led his battalion of 400 Heavenly Soldiers to the training ground for a period of time. They primarily practiced the Heavenly Soldier Formation, which was very simple and could be deployed quickly.
Afterwards, the Heavenly Soldiers dispersed, and he also prepared to go back into seclusion to improve his cultivation.
After all, his cultivation was the most important. Everything else was secondary.
First, he went to the Heavenly Soldier Hall’s Resource Vault and used his newly obtained 30,000 Merit Points to exchange for a batch of celestial treasures. Then, he returned to his residence and began to cultivate in seclusion.
“Let’s refine these Dragon Blood Pills first.”
Lin Xuan poured out the ten Dragon Blood Pills from the gourd. He had gone into battle for these pills. Each one shimmered with dragon patterns, containing powerful essence. Without hesitation, he swallowed one, then activated the True Dragon Nine Transformations and began refining it.
Within his body, a faint and vast dragon roar echoed, his blood became increasingly powerful, his bones grew more robust. With each Dragon Blood Pill refined, his physique grew significantly stronger.
Once all ten Dragon Blood Pills were refined, his physical aura suddenly surged, breaking through to the Middle True Immortal Realm!
“Good! Next, let’s cultivate my Primordial Spirit!”
Lin Xuan didn’t stop cultivating. He immediately started to refine the large quantity of celestial treasures he had just exchanged for, activating the Heavenly Soldier Scripture to strengthen his Primordial Spirit.
Ultimately, after refining them all, his Primordial Spirit also successfully broke through, reaching the Middle True Immortal Realm!
