NOVEL NEXT Chapter 264: We're Still Good Friends As Long As We Don't Mention Lu Lin
"Elder Chen, are you talking about that matter?"
Cha Yuan asked in a deep voice.
Chen Danqing nodded, his tone heavy: "Yes."
"Slave Soldier Selection."
"Recently, someone from Ji Gu Ming Jin came to find me, telling me that the once-in-a-hundred-year Slave Soldier Selection is about to start, and that we must select no fewer than thirty thousand Level 6 Martial Artists to participate within half a year."
Slave Soldier Selection?
Thirty thousand Level 6?
Lu Lin was stunned for a moment, not knowing what these big shots were talking about.
Ji Gu Ming Jin, he had heard this name before.
The rules on the Exotic Battlefield were all established by them.
Even the powerful Alien Race's Ten Gods had to obediently follow their instructions.
But what does the Slave Soldier Selection have to do with thirty thousand Level 6s?
Lu Lin is currently at Level 6, would these big shots send him to participate in this Slave Soldier Selection?
As soon as Lu Lin made a move, the eyes of everyone there turned towards him.
Chen Danqing laughed heartily, "Perfect, Lu Lin, you are also a Level 6 Martial Artist, so listen up."
Chen Danqing explained the meaning of Slave Soldier Selection to Lu Lin.
Every hundred years, Ji Gu Ming Jin picks thirty thousand people and beasts from three races to participate in their Slave Soldier Selection.
These people will enter the "Army Tents" of Ji Gu Ming Jin and undergo a three-year selection competition, and only the outstanding ones can pass and successfully become Slave Soldiers, leaving the Exotic Battlefield.
The requirements for selection are very simple.
Kill.
Participants can choose to withdraw or choose to continue.
Ji Gu Ming Jin will not force these participants to fight, but they will tempt them.
Star General Pill, Thunder Array Division, Spiritual Seed.
If these participants want to break through to higher levels, conflict is inevitable.
Every hundred years, Ji Gu Ming Jin selects a few dozen to a few hundred people to pass, representing Tianyuan Continent in a higher-level world.
That place is called — Longyuan.
Previously, when the Human Federation had not yet developed on the Exotic Battlefield, Ji Gu Ming Jin did not invite humans to join.
In the last century, after the Human Federation had eight Titled Kings, Ji Gu Ming Jin sent an invitation.
At that time, humans thought this was a good way to escape the troubles of alien and exotic beasts and immediately sent many geniuses as requested.
But the result.
Three years passed, and those once geniuses have all died, with the occasional survivor being maimed, and more severely, some even lost their motivation after witnessing the true strength of the alien races and exotic beasts, their hearts were ashen, blending in with the crowd.
A hundred years ago, not a single human was chosen to become a Slave Soldier.
After losing Heaven's Gift to escape the alien and exotic beast threats, humans began to learn from their mistakes and continuously expanded the annual enrollment numbers, building more advanced Awakening Bases.
They even proactively merged some run-of-the-mill universities together.
Hoping to enhance the fundamental strength of the Human Race.
The senior-level hoped that by leaving the Exotic Battlefield, the human Slave Soldiers could find suitable allies in the higher-level world and lead human rapid development, eliminating threats from alien races and exotic beasts.
Though this was not the only way for the Human Federation to develop, it indeed changed many people's destinies.
Like Lu Lin.
If not for the Blue Star School expanding its enrollment scale and Starry Sky Bank responding to the federation's call to open Student Loan Services, families like Lu Lin's might never have had the opportunity to head to Blue Star.
"So Lu Lin, do you want to see the world?"
"I do."
Lu Lin replied straightforwardly.
Previously, while at Bu Ming Villa, he vaguely heard Chen Buming mentioning the word "Longyuan."
He originally thought he had to wait until he broke through to Star General to enter there and find Xiao Ru.
But unexpectedly, now Heaven's Gift has arrived.
Within three years, as long as he passes the selection, he can enter the Longyuan World and find Xiao Ru.
This is much shorter than the time required to become a Star General.
Though Lu Lin is confident, he wouldn't be arrogant enough to believe he can break through over and over again within three years.
"I want to go, haha, but wanting doesn't mean you can go, you're a treasure of our Human Federation, how can you risk yourself?"
"With you around, in less than ten years, our Human Federation will have five hundred more Titled Kings."
"By then, such power would sweep across the Exotic Battlefield, what need is there to take this risk?"
"You, just stay obediently at Iron Blood University."
"In the future, thirty percent of the ninth-level Martial Artists from Titled King Division will come to Iron Blood University to serve as professors, as long as you don't encounter a sudden attack from Star General experts, there won't be any security issues."
Last time when Lu Lin was forced to enter the Black Hole, Mu Xiaolian brought the highest instruction from the federation, stressing the importance of Lu Lin, and the federation wouldn't allow such an excellent talent to be neglected.
If the Four Major Investigation Departments couldn't produce a reliable plan to protect Lu Lin, they would invite him to hold a position within the federation for protection.
Thus, the Four Major Investigation Departments, along with the Federal Education Department and Medical Department, jointly formulated a protection plan for Lu Lin.
The Titled King Division practically resides at Iron Blood University, responsible for guarding the hundred ninth-level Martial Artists protecting Lu Lin, rotating annually.
During Lu Lin's university years, he's absolutely not allowed to go outside, even when strolling in Chongnuo City, he must have two ninth-level Martial Artists protecting him, with a Titled King monitoring at all times.
