With Ma Shan's strength, it came as a surprise to Tang Wulin that he had lost in the group stages . He was a two-word battle armor master with an eight-ring Soul Douluo's rank . The only thing stopping him from becoming a three-word battle armor master was the completion of his battle armor . However, Ma Shan lost two of the group matches . Hence, he was unable to proceed to the final top sixteen .
Tang Wulin's group was relatively weaker in their overall strength . The abilities he displayed were unique which led to him being listed as one of the hottest picks . Nobody knew the rank of his cultivation base . With the concealing ability he learned from the Demon Island, he was able to conceal his true cultivation base with ease .
That was why the number of soul rings he released in every match seemed different . Their color combinations were odd as well . It was one of the highlights of this year's competition .
Nevertheless, there were a few familiar faces in the finals . There were two that he was most familiar with…
…
Ye Xinglan sat cross-legged with closed eyes in the silent room . Although she was meditating, her body still unleashed a distinctive aura that was difficult to describe .
Her navy blue military uniform meant that she was in the navy . On her shoulders were two golden bars and two golden stars, the rank of a commander .
Selected from the new recruits, she and Xu Lizhi had relied on their own strengths to get into the navy . It was the federal Eastsea Fleet which was known as an invincible fleet . It was also the most powerful fleet of the Federation .
In terms of troop numbers, there was not much of a difference between the Eastsea Army Corps and the Northsea Army Corps . However, in terms of the soldiers' strengths and equipment, the Northsea Army Corps was beyond compare . They were the elite among the elites .
Behind the Eastsea Army Corps, stood the federal Battle God Hall . The supreme force here was the federal parliament .
The commanding officer of the Eastsea Army Corps was an admiral, a true high-ranking official in the army .
The Eastsea Army Corps' military rules were straightforward . Only the strong would be recruited . As long as one had martial strength, it would be quite easy to get promoted . No one dared display favoritism or commit any infractions under the supervision of the Battle God Hall . Besides, the Eastsea Army Corps strongly advocated personal martial strength among all the armies in the Federation .
Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi disguised themselves to join the army and took part in the exams .
Undoubtedly, a food-type Soul Emperor instantly caught everyone's attention . When he first arrived, Xu Lizhi received more attention than Ye Xinglan . The reason was simple . A Soul Emperor-ranked food-type soul master could supply all the food needed for a battleship when they were at war . As long as the soul masters on the battleship were being fed, it could virtually keep battling at sea .
After they had enlisted, Xu Lizhi was directly commissioned as a lieutenant commander . Among the Shrek Seven Monsters, he was conferred the highest military rank after enlistment .
Xu Lizhi was an effective commander in the Eastsea Army Corps' logistics department . He had shown outstanding performance during one of the drills . With his bun martial soul, he gave his battleship a great enhancement and was rewarded with the highest compliments from the army . He only had to wait three months before he was promoted to a captain .
A month had passed since the combat drill . It was still fondly remembered by everyone . Xu Lizhi was at the peak of his career . As he made various buns, he hid them at a few crucial battle posts using the Tang Sect's hidden weapon techniques . In fact, the ones that had the most impact were not the Recovery Pork Buns, but the Agility Soup Buns . The soup buns greatly increased the efficiency of all the battle units . The mecha troops on the battleship were also enhanced by his Bloodthirst Bean Buns . When they battled against another battleship's mechas, they defeated their opponents despite being evenly-matched .
It could be said that Xu Lizhi's strength alone was the deciding factor in the battle .
This was the advantage of having a high-ranked food-type soul master . After the drill, he became the most sought after soul master by all the main battleships . It got him a promotion fairly quick . He was known as the new rising star of the Eastsea Fleet's logistics department . Once he broke through the Soul Saint's realm, he held more important positions .
As far as the Eastsea Fleet was concerned, they hoped that he could dedicate his efforts to become a food-type Title Douluo in the future . In the entire continent, there were only two existing food-type Title Douluos . They were over eighty years old and could not possibly serve in the army anymore . Once a fleet had a Title Douluo food-type soul master, the fleet could even be called an eternal fleet .
Hence, Xu Lizhi was a strategic talent in the fleet .
Compared to Xu Lizhi, the path Ye Xinglan took was starkly different . As a six-ring Soul Emperor, she could have been commissioned as a lieutenant commander . However, it was not the case for the Eastsea Fleet . The Eastsea Fleet had strict requirements . Besides, they had a large number of experts to begin with . Plain old strength was not enough, it had to be combat strength . These two strengths were not the same . Many soul masters recommended by the academy could hardly demonstrate their cultivation bases after they joined the army .
There were well-set rules in the Eastsea Army Corps which stipulated the highest rank a true battle soul master could receive was a lieutenant . Hence, Ye Xinglan joined as a lieutenant .
The reason why she was able to become a commander in such a short period of time was completely due to her own efforts!
The Eastsea Army Corps advocated personal martial strength the most . There were various competitions within the army . Ye Xinglan had relied on her super powerful personal strength to win three solo competitions . Her achievements had caught the attention of the higher-ups .
She was a very beautiful young lady . At the same time, she displayed super powerful combat strength . This made the army's top-ranking officials focus on her even more .
Not long ago, she had relied on her powerful Sword's Consciousness with an indomitable will to defeat a Soul Douluo-ranked two-word battle armor master . Following that, she was promoted to a commander . Ye Xinglan was also seriously wounded during the battle . Not to mention, she had risked her life to defeat her opponent . The Soul Douluo-ranked two-word battle armor master, who was also a senior colonel was fearful in the face of her terrifying Sword's Consciousness .
From that day onward, Ye Xinglan had the moniker of the Battle Goddess!
Everyone knew the Starlight Battle Goddess . Ye Xinglan had registered her martial soul as the Starlight Sword, not the Stargod Sword .
After joining the army, she was not in the same department as Xu Lizhi . They had the same goals, though the paths they took were different . Both of them had taken Tang Wulin's advice and begun to practice operating the mecha . They had already mastered the basic controls of the mechas .
Xu Lizhi had worked especially hard in this regard . In addition, the army had given him ample support in terms of resources . Hence, he made vast improvements in his mecha operating skills .
Ye Xinglan was silently meditating . She currently had a fervent battle will . Not far from her, there was a Star Dou Cabin being sold at a high price in the market .
She represented the Eastsea Army Corps in the competition . She was the only one left from the army who made it to the top sixteen of the solo matches . The army's top officials had promised her that if she made it into the quarter-finals, they would bend the rules and promote her to a captain . In the event she turned out to be the winner for the finals, they would make her a senior colonel .
…
On the mountain peak, a small figure slowly hurled a punch . Suddenly a gale broke out on the mountain-top . Far away, a giant imprint of a fist was slowly etched onto a cluster of clouds by the shockwaves . Although it only lasted for a while, the fist's imprint was a splendid sight indeed .
The figure spun again and threw another punch . Her movements were relatively quiet, but the mountain-top was once again battered by a strong wind . She appeared to be a vicious beast that could create a wind and disperse the clouds!
Her actions were excruciatingly slow . However, she silently warped the space around her . A vortex formed by the clouds and the mist slowly appeared in the sky . Her movements began to pick up speed . With each punch she threw, the air would shake violently and the vortex would enlarge slightly .
Circles of soul rings rose from under her feet . There were as many as six rings . Two purples and four blacks . It was definitely a combination of high-ranking soul rings .
Suddenly, she let out a skyward roar . Her roar was consistent and did not scatter . The clouds in the sky were suddenly sucked into her fists . When she threw her punches again, the vortex-shaped clouds shot out of her fists . Each punch was more powerful than the previous one . The air shook violently . Even the faraway mountain peaks seemed to convulse .
This went on for a quarter of an hour before she finally stopped her exercise . She then pressed her palms down to relax . Afterward, when a mountain gale blew, large swathes of rock powder were scattered through the air . The height of the mountain was lowered by a foot . The rocks were pulverized by the force from her punches, but they had remained in place and maintained their form until the wind blew . In terms of soul power utilization, her control was extremely precise .
