Chapter 316 Departure: Exploring the Ruins of the Northern Continent
Chapter 316 Departure: Exploring the Ruins of the Northern Continent
The selection of disciples is divided into two rounds: a martial arts competition and a cultural examination.
When the disciples went out to explore ruins, they would certainly describe the ruins in writing and record their locations.
Therefore, the disciples had to be literate.
After two rounds of competition, only fifteen people passed.
Most people are only good at certain subjects; the slaves are powerful and fierce in battle, but most of them don't know many words.
The fighting strength of nobles and commoners is average, but their academic performance is generally good.
The two groups had roughly the same level of understanding of martial arts.
Lin Feng felt that these people should be mixed and matched to complement each other's strengths and weaknesses.
Finally, the golden light must be used for screening.
Those who lack the mental fortitude to pass will either be eliminated or relegated to support staff.
After the competition ended, Lin Feng began to bestow blessings upon each of them one by one.
Start with the most difficult Flying Dragon Skill, then the Water Dragon Skill, and finally the Earth Dragon Skill and Lightness Skill.
The fifteen who passed the assessment easily passed the initiation ceremony and were divided into three groups by Lin Feng, each leading one of the three branches of the armed forces: air, sea, and land.
Of the remaining disciples, only 321 passed the initiation.
The increase in mental strength from the second initiation was significantly greater than that from the first initiation.
These 320 people increased Lin Feng's mental power coverage range by 32 meters.
All the other people's second initiation attempts failed, and they did not increase Lin Feng's spiritual power.
Lin Feng selected nearly 300 disciples who failed the initiation ceremony as reserve forces, and dismissed the remaining 1,200 as external forces.
These people were directly recruited by Princess Chuchu and incorporated into the army as officers to strengthen the defenses of Tikal City.
After finishing the disciple assessment, Lin Feng accepted a thousand new disciples and initiated them with the highest level of enlightenment.
With the initiation complete, Lin Feng's mental energy coverage increased to 55 meters.
With the formation of the air, sea, and land forces complete, Lin Feng ordered each of the three armies to send out a team of ten men to search for the ruins.
This was mainly an experiment, so not many people were sent.
......
The next morning.
Lin Feng and the princess stood on the city wall for the first time.
Lin Feng, holding a map of the ruins, looked into the distance and said, "If everything goes smoothly this time, I'll be back in three days."
Princess Chuchu patted the newly installed cannons on the city wall and said, "Master, you can explore the holy land with peace of mind. With these cannons and the disciples you left behind, you will be safe."
Even if the White Demons attack today, we can hold out for at least three days.
Lin Feng nodded.
This is our vital rear area; we cannot afford to lose it.
During his three years in the Northern Continent, he would work in a mutually beneficial relationship with the Naga Empire, which was initially led by the princess, and he certainly did not want Tikal City to be captured.
He also planned to use Tikal as the center and expand the Temple of War to all cities in the Naga Empire.
Princess Chuchu couldn't help but warn, "I've heard that the sacred land is extremely dangerous. Anyone who enters its territory may be hunted down by the Iron Warriors."
Moreover, those steel warriors have a wide variety of offensive methods, and no one has ever been able to escape their pursuit in the past.
However, the Iron Warriors will not leave the Holy Land's boundaries.
Teacher, you must be careful.
Those steel warriors are impervious to swords and blades, indestructible; encountering them means nothing but flight.
"Don't worry, Master knows what he's doing."
Lin Feng felt that his sword might not necessarily be unable to cut through the steel warrior.
The Demon Spirit Blood-Drinking Sword is far more powerful than the Naga's bronze weapons.
Even if I really can't win, I can still fly into the sky.
The Naga people's records about that ruin never mention that the steel warriors inside could fly.
Lin Feng was filled with anticipation as he explored the ruins on the Northern Continent for the first time.
He patted Princess Chuchu on the shoulder and said, "I'm leaving. I'll be back in three days at most."
After saying that, Lin Feng soared into the sky and transformed into a golden streak of light, flying westward.
Princess Chu Chu watched Lin Feng depart until he disappeared into the sea of clouds before she turned her head away.
At that moment, an alpaca rider came running towards the city gate from the east of the city.
The man shouted, "The White Demon army is attacking! The White Demon army is attacking!"
The princess felt as if her heart had been suddenly squeezed, making a thud.
Princess Chuchu reached out and covered her chest, spitting twice in disapproval. Her jinx was too accurate!
