Hearing the system prompt, Lin Xuan saw the two blue word bars flashing on the ground. Without hesitation, he chose to fuse them.
……………………
【Shen Su (Blue): Your speed is unparalleled. Your movements are extremely agile and swift. As your physical body strengthens, your speed and agility will also continue to improve.】
【Qi Xue Bao Fa (Blue): You can unleash several times your physical strength for a short time!】
……………………
After viewing the information of these two blue word bar talents, Lin Xuan felt the changes of the two new talents merging with his body. He nodded in satisfaction.
These two talent word bars were the snake demon's innate talents. Although their ranks were not high, they were both quite practical battle-type talents. One enhanced speed, and the other was an explosive technique. Both were enhancements for the physical body!
The importance of speed need not be said. From the previous battle, it was clear that if one was fast and agile, one could inevitably seize every opportunity. Lin Xuan relied on the power of the innate spiritual treasure, and only then decisively and cleanly killed the snake demon.
Whether in battle, traveling, or escaping, speed is a very important factor. Even if you can't defeat the enemy, you can escape easily by relying on speed!
As for the Blood Qi Explosion talent word bar, it is also very useful. At a critical moment, it can serve as a trump card to turn the tide.
The snake demon was unable to exert a significant effect mainly because Lin Xuan's physical strength was too strong, while the snake demon's strength was insufficient. After all, the snake demon was not a dedicated physical cultivator. Even if its strength exploded several times, it still couldn't break through Lin Xuan's physical defenses.
"But if I use my strength and then use Blood Qi Explosion, I can unleash even stronger power for a short time."
"Combined with the speed talent word bar, even without the Chixiao Sword, my combat strength would be among the rare strong ones in the True Immortal Realm."
Lin Xuan was very happy. It wasn't easy to encounter a few useful talent word bars. His strength had increased again this time, which was valuable accumulation for him.
Then, he took out the snake demon's demon core as proof of completing the task. Immediately afterward, he returned to the Heavenly Court.
After flying back to the Heavenly Court and passing the South Heavenly Gate, he didn't hesitate and went directly to the Heavenly Soldier Hall to hand in the proof of completion and receive the task reward. Three thousand war merit points were in hand.
Then, he reported to the Heavenly Soldier Hall steward and displayed his True Immortal Realm cultivation!
"True Immortal Realm, you can be promoted to Heavenly Soldier Captain."
Lin Xuan successfully rose in rank. He didn't have any plans to conceal his cultivation.
In the Heavenly Court, the higher the official position, the more allowance and cultivation resources one could receive. He didn't want to waste time.
Only by promptly displaying his strength and sufficient potential could he obtain more resources as soon as possible and raise his strength at the fastest pace. Only then could he better survive in the dangerous Hong Huang world!
In the Hong Huang world, pretending to be weak was impossible.
After being promoted to Heavenly Soldier Captain, Lin Xuan was assigned a new set of standard equipment. Whether it was armor or weapons, it was much stronger than before. It was also beneficial to him.
At the same time, his allowance also increased significantly. Every hundred years, he could obtain a large amount of spirit crystals and a small amount of pills. If all of them were refined, the cultivation enhancement wouldn't be small.
"Indeed, it's better to get promoted early. If I can be promoted to Heavenly General, my treatment will be even better."
Lin Xuan learned a bit. If he could be promoted to Heavenly General, not only would his allowance and equipment improve, but he could also directly receive better cultivation techniques and even have an independent residence with abundant spiritual energy, which would greatly enhance cultivation!
Reaching the level of Heavenly General is considered to be someone who can hold a position. Every Heavenly Soldier Captain dreams of becoming a Heavenly General, but only a few succeed. The probability is even lower than one in ten thousand.
"I am currently at the early stage of the True Immortal Realm. I can command approximately four hundred Heavenly Soldiers, but I need to find the corresponding Heavenly General to report to."
"However, I just got some resources. Let's digest them first."
Lin Xuan didn't rush to report. He always valued his own cultivation strength the most. After his promotion, he had obtained some resources, and he had also received three thousand war merit points for killing the True Immortal snake demon before. He planned to immediately convert them into his own strength.
After exchanging some resources, he immediately returned to his residence and began refining the numerous spirit crystals and heavenly materials he had exchanged.
With full force, he soon finished cultivating, digesting all the resources. His cultivation became a bit deeper, but he didn't advance in realm.
The amount of spirit energy resources required to advance to the next realm in the True Immortal Realm is far higher than that of the Earth Immortal and Heavenly Immortal realms. It is not easy to advance. It depends on gradual accumulation and a breakthrough with time.
After finishing cultivation, Lin Xuan left the Heavenly Soldier Court and went to find his direct superior, General Chen.
Without reporting to the Heavenly General, the Heavenly Soldiers under his command wouldn't just appear out of thin air. He needed to be assigned by the Heavenly General.
"I wonder what General Chen's personality is like. I don't expect him to give me some elite veteran soldiers. I just hope he doesn't give me a hard time."
Lin Xuan muttered silently in his heart. If his superior was difficult to get along with and clashed with his temperament, then it would be unpleasant. This could only be left to fate.
Next, guided by the aura imprint on his identity jade token, he quickly found General Chen not far from the Heavenly Soldier Court.
To his surprise, this General Chen was a familiar face, the Heavenly General under the command of the Giant Spirit God who led them to conquer the lower realms last time!
"Huh? I was wondering who was coming to report to me. It's you, kid. Your promotion is pretty fast."
General Chen was also somewhat surprised when he saw Lin Xuan. Obviously, he still remembered Lin Xuan.
Not long ago, during the conquest of the lower realms, they fought the Xuan Immortal vicious Jiao demon king. When the vicious Jiao was at the end of its rope, it released its aura to sweep through the numerous Heavenly Soldiers, causing heavy casualties. Only Lin Xuan, with his strong physical body, survived in that area. This was something General Chen had some impression of.
He didn't expect Lin Xuan to improve so quickly. Only a few years had passed, and he had become a True Immortal Realm Heavenly Soldier Captain.
However, on second thought, he felt it was normal. After all, Lin Xuan's physical body was probably very strong to begin with, and was considered top-notch among the Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators. He could withstand the aura impact of the Xuan Immortal vicious Jiao. Now, he had taken another step forward and advanced to the True Immortal Realm, so perhaps it was only natural.
"I have some physical body talent. Before, when I was at death's door, I seized the opportunity to break through, so I managed to advance to True Immortal. In the future, I will rely on Heavenly General's guidance. Just give me any orders."
Lin Xuan said modestly, secretly relieved in his heart.
He felt that this powerful Heavenly General, who he had met once before, seemed to be quite enthusiastic towards him. This was obviously a good thing, as it could avoid a lot of trouble.
"Haha, kid, you're with the right person. We physical body cultivators are few in number, and sometimes we might have conflicts with Yuan Shen cultivators. You're under my command, and I can take care of you a bit."
"Resources that help with physical body cultivation are easier to obtain for me."
"Work hard on your cultivation. If you are promoted to Heavenly General in the future, I will directly introduce you to Giant Spirit God."
General Chen patted Lin Xuan's shoulder and spoke in a carefree manner!
