Chapter 135 Military Ranks
The sword stopped less than five centimeters from Song Xinglan.
Ye Chuxue raised her hand, and the sword blade disappeared. Similarly, Song Xinglan felt the force that had been binding her also disappear.
"How was it? Xiaoxue is alright, isn't she?" Song Wanning said proudly.
"What's going on?" Song Xinglan asked, somewhat puzzled.
"This power is too strange; it doesn't feel like the effect of a skill or a domain," Song Xinglan said.
"What kind of power is that?" Song Wanyin asked curiously.
"I can't quite put my finger on it; it's unlike any other power I've ever seen before," Song Xinglan deduced.
“That’s Xiaoxue’s unique skill, the Boundary,” Song Wanning said.
"Boundary?" The crowd was puzzled.
So Song Wanning told everyone about Ye Chuxue obtaining the power of the realm.
"So this is a field we've never been exposed to before," the Human Emperor remarked with some emotion after hearing the news.
"But based on what Xiaoxue said, will there be other people who can obtain the power of the 'realm'?" Song Xinglan asked, voicing her doubts.
"It probably will, but we don't know for sure; it's all unknown," the Emperor said.
“However, given the current situation, we can head to the Abyss now,” the Human Emperor said.
“No, Father, I still want to break through to the God King realm before going to the Abyss,” Song Wanning said earnestly.
"Alright, then let's go to the abyss together after you break through to the God King realm."
……
During the time that Song Wanning broke through to the God King realm, Ye Chuxue also focused all her energy on the Nine Yang Heavenly Dragon, ensuring that she could break through to the God King realm before heading to the abyss.
"Xiao Ning, Xiao Xue, are you ready? Going to the abyss is no small matter; one wrong move and you could lose your life."
In front of a teleportation array, the Human Emperor spoke solemnly to Song Wanning and Ye Chuxue.
“We know,” the two nodded and said.
"Yes, you will be training there for six months, or maybe a year. We will send someone to pick you up when the time comes."
Su Yaqin stepped forward, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the end she didn't, only saying, "Be sure to be careful."
Song Wanning and Ye Chuxue exchanged a glance and nodded slightly. Then they stepped forward to follow Song Xinglan and the other two, standing steadily on the mysterious and ancient teleportation array.
Just as they had steadied themselves, the teleportation array suddenly shone with a dazzling light, completely enveloping the five of them.
The light was like dazzling fireworks, mesmerizing and captivating.
As the light gradually faded, in the blink of an eye, the five figures had completely disappeared from the teleportation array, as if they had been taken into another dimension of space and time by an invisible force.
The destination this time was much farther away than before, and the time required was also much longer.
More than a minute later, the teleportation array lit up again, and then everyone slowly emerged, returning to the solid ground.
The feeling of being grounded made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, but they were soon drawn to the unfamiliar scene before them.
"Is this the abyss?" Ye Chuxue looked up curiously and looked around.
To her surprise, she found herself in a bustling, vibrant city.
The wide streets are bustling with traffic and pedestrians, and the various noises intertwine to form a unique urban symphony.
The streets are lined with shops, displaying a dazzling array of goods; in the alleys and alleys, many vendors loudly hawk their own specialties, attracting passersby to stop and watch.
The entire city is full of vitality and shows a prosperous scene.
"This is our Great Xia territory, or more precisely, the territory that our Great Xia fought and conquered," Song Xinglan said.
“Here, everything is based on military rank. The higher the rank, the more prestigious one’s status and position,” Song Xinglan explained solemnly.
She paused slightly, then explained in detail: "Military ranks are divided into five levels, namely Private, Sergeant, Captain, Colonel, and General, with the highest level being Commander."
These five military ranks each correspond to a different color. Specifically, privates are represented by pure white; sergeants by vibrant green; captains by deep, mysterious blue; colonels by noble, elegant purple; and the supreme gold represents the revered status of generals and commanders.
At this point, Song Xinglan glanced at everyone and continued explaining, "Not only that, each military rank is further subdivided into ten star levels."
Once a soldier has accumulated ten stars, he can be promoted to the next rank.
However, advancing in rank is by no means easy; the only way is either to bravely slay terrifying creatures from the abyss or to complete certain extremely difficult and dangerous special missions…
As Song Xinglan was speaking eloquently, the group unknowingly arrived in front of a towering, massive building located in the center of the city.
The building is magnificent, solemn, and awe-inspiring.
Just then, two fully armed guards suddenly appeared and blocked the five people's way.
One of them looked at Song Xinglan expressionlessly and said in a stiff tone, "Please show your identification."
Faced with the guard's request, Song Xinglan didn't say much, but calmly reached into her pocket and rummaged around for a moment.
Then, she slowly took out an item and gently pressed it against her chest.
In an instant, a dazzling light flashed.
As the light faded, everyone looked closely and saw a beautiful and exquisite purple badge prominently displayed on Song Xinglan's chest.
This badge is decorated with seven dazzling golden stars arranged in a neat row!
Upon seeing this, the two guards' tense expressions instantly became extremely solemn.
Without hesitation, they straightened their backs, gave Song Xinglan a respectful military salute, and shouted in unison, "Greetings, General!"
After returning the greetings to the two, Song Xinglan led the four of them into the building.
"My eldest brother is a divine general, so what are the ranks of my second sister and third brother?" Song Wanning asked curiously.
“I am a two-star Divine General, and Ling Fei is a four-star Divine General,” Song Wanyin said.
"My second sister is clearly stronger than my third brother, so why is her military rank lower than his?" Song Wanning asked in confusion.
“I’ve always been in charge of urban construction and planning within the city, while your third brother has always followed your eldest brother outside the city, so his military rank is naturally higher,” Song Wanyin said.
“Well, it takes 1000 points to go from Private to One Star, and 2000 points to go from One Star to Two Star, and so on. Killing an ordinary Abyss creature only gives 10 points, so it’s very difficult to advance in rank,” Song Lingfei said with a shrug.
