Countless patches of space around Xiao Shen shattered instantly. He, together with the young man, seemed like a cracked mirror, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Regardless of whether it was their action or speed, they had become many times more skilled than before. Clearly, he had gotten a better grasp on the ability to shatter void space. This allowed him to traverse across 1,000 lis with a single thought, which was similar to using the Spatial Translocation ability.

In the weapon factory in the Divine Capital, Fang Xingjian completed the weapon modifications for the Sharp Swords soldiers after continuous tests and modifications. Therefore, he decided to immediately expand the size of his army by increasing the number of members for the Sharp Swords troop.

A major selection process was progressing within the imperial court’s troops. 1,000 of the most outstanding, most courageous, and most loyal Xiantian Realm cultivations were being selected.

As for the higher-tiered Disha Realm cultivators, Fang Xingjian’s plan was to select some of them to use the Universe Knight Systems with the higher specifications and lower specifications respectively.

Amongst these 1,000 people who had been selected from the entire army, there was also Fang Yong who came from the Beiyuan Region.

Fang Yong, Prince Xin’s commoner son, did not have the right to join the selection at first. After all, Prince Xin had rebelled. Although Fang Yong had led a team to seize Fang Tao, the team had been wiped out completely, and most people did not trust him.

However, after certain members of the upper echelon gave their approval, Fang Yong was given the exception to join.

At this moment, Fang Yong felt his vision blur, and he was pulled into the underground weapon factory by Fang Xingjian using Spatial Translocation.

Fang Yong stood on a public square made of metal, watching as more and more soldiers appeared with flashes. In the blink of an eye, over 1,000 people had filled up the place.

Although they had been pulled over abruptly via Spatial Translocation, most of them appeared very calm. After appearing in the square, they were all quietly on their guard, observing the surroundings. They did not do anything that overstepped their boundaries, displaying their excellent qualities.

Fang Yong thought, ‘To think that so many people can be brought over here from so many different places. This amazing ability… it seems to be a little similar to that person from the legends.’

After everyone arrived, Fang Xingjian’s voice rang out in their minds.

“Everyone, from today onward, you have been selected to join the Sharp Swords troop. There will be a new commanding officer here to give you orders. As for your previous troops and positions, they will no longer be of any relations to you from today onward.”

Hearing that, everyone’s gaze was first that of astonishment, followed by the elation of being selected.

This selection process had spanned many rounds, screening through the entire army. These young cultivators were naturally brimming with confidence and filled with all sorts of anticipation at being selected into an ace troop.

It was the same for Fang Yong. He clenched his fists, and a hint of excitement flashed past his eyes. Then he touched his chest, and Fang Tao’s appearance once again appeared in his mind.

Just then, heavy footsteps rang out, and Wang Tian and the others stepped into the metallic square while wearing exoskeleton armors.

Seeing the sudden appearance of 20 metal mounds, the countenances of Fang Yong and the others changed. Very soon, someone shouted, “You guys are the black armored troops that have taken the Middle-earth by storm recently, killing over 10,000 people?”

Wang Tian nodded, and their masks suddenly opened up. Their gazes scanned the Xiantian Realm cultivators in front of them, and Wang Tian said, “A total of 11,054 people and two Disha Realm experts were all killed by our group of 20.”

Right now, Wang Tian’s gaze was cold, with a very imposing disposition. Compared to one month ago, he had clearly become several times capable. The long duration of massacres had also made him look more and more like a warrior.
