“This is the Southern Cross Army’s recruit training camp.” Bing’s voice was not so stiff anymore, and he had some emotions in his speech: “Every recruit would come here to receive three years of training, and the people who pass are then able to enlist into the army.”

“Three years!….” Tang Tian’s eyes opened wide: “What do you all train that requires three years?”

“It is split into personal martial techniques and basic essences of war tactics.” Bing calmly explained: “Every individual has to reach the eighth level of True Power, and has to have gained enlightenment on at least three killing techniques of their rank eight martial techniques. There are twelve subjects for the basic essences of war tactics.”

“Eighth level?” Tang Tian thought he heard wrongly.

“En.” Bing calmly replied.

“Eight… eighth level is just a recruit?!” Tang Tian stammered, his gaze frozen. Level eight, wherever that person was, he would definitely be an expert, an actual and true expert! Even in Heaven’s road, he would be a prestigious and famous expert! These kind of experts, in the Southern Cross Formation, were barely just recruits meeting the lowest requirements?!

What is this Southern Cross Army that actually holds such power!

Even the recruits are at the eighth level….

“En.” Bing continued: “The army has rules: Those who do not reach the eighth level of True Power, will not be able to pass the recruit test. Officers require the tenth level and above of True Power, while the Captains require the twelfth level.”

Tang Tian who was listening already had a headache: “Then aren’t you all invincible?”

“Invincible?” BIng shook his head: “If we were invincible then how could we fail to defend our encampment?”

Tang Tian opened his mouth wide, after a long time, he managed to speak: “Don’t tell me there are armies stronger than yours?”

“There aren’t.” Bing calmly said: “The Southern Cross Army was one of the strongest three armies, the other two were the Scorpio Army, and the Snake Army.”

Tang Tian pulled his finger: “Scorpio Formation is Scorpio Constellation right? I have heard of that. Snake formation? Is it the Hydrus Constellation or the Serpens Constellation?”

Bing shook his head: “It is the Ophiuchus Constellation.”

“Ophiuchus Constellation? Eh, I have not heard of that constellation before!” Tang Tian gasped.

“Never heard before!?” Bing’s voice once again had some undulations: “Ophiuchus Constellation is the top constellation of the thirteen constellations of the Ecliptic Plane.”

Tang Tian shook his head: “The Ecliptic Plane only has twelve constellations, the Leo Constellation, Sagittarius Constellation and the Aries Constellation are the current three strongest constellations, but the twelve constellations are not overpowered. I heard that the Scorpio Constellation is very ordinary. But never before have I heard of a thirteenth.”

“Seems like the Snake Army was destroyed too.” Bing said: “The Ophiuchus Constellation was the strongest constellation back then, it was the only superpower constellation across the equator, the Ecliptic and Galactic Equator. The Snake Army was the true, most powerful army out of the three huge armies.”

“Sounds amazingly powerful! Bing, were you very strong then too?” Tang Tian had stars in his eyes, thoughts in a faraway place.

Bing ignored him, and continued by himself: “You have to think carefully, once you open this door, you are compelled to complete the recruit training. If you are unable to reach the eighth level criteria within three years, you will not be able to enter the Cross Door anymore.”

“Within three years, the eighth level?” Tang Tian’s emotions froze on his face, shook his head: “Bing, that is impossible. Although I do not know how you all completed it in the past, I am sure no one in this era can do it.”

“There are still people who can do it.” Bing sounded stiff again: “There are strong martial artists who protect the constellations, and would release even brighter and stronger light auras. I can feel them, there are so many constellations, with so many people with astonishing light auras, in this era, there are also many strong martial artists.”

“So there are people who can do it?” Tang TIan looked at Bing.

“Yes.” Bing replied stiffly without a bit of change in his tone.

“Good, I’ll do it!” Tang Tian did not hesitate at all and nodded his head.

“Are you sure?” Bing looked at him.

“Yes!” Tang Tian looked serious and he clenched his fists tightly: “Since other people can do it, then I can do it too!”

“I have the duty to remind you.” Bing said: “The recruit training program is very cruel, more cruel than you can ever imagine. Southern Cross Constellation is the smallest constellation, yet it was able to thrive and survive due to its army, and because of its strictness and cruelty. Southern Cross Constellation’s recruit training program is the world’s most cruel recruit training program, none can compare. In our time, the odds of passing the exam, was only nine percent. While the mortality rate, was as high as twenty six percent.”

“It can make me become stronger right?” Tang Tian was calm and not scared, and raised his head to ask.

“Yes, the recruit training program, although it is the most cruel training, when you complete it, is definitely the world’s most effective training method.” Bing said stiffly.

“Then let’s do it! This godlike young man will never retreat!” Tang Tian raised his fist with high fighting spirits.

Bing could feel Tang Tian’s tenacity and became silent for a while: “The best level of selection for recruits was at the sixth level, but because of that, the chance of passing becomes nine percent, and mortality rate of twenty six percent. Now you are not even at the fourth level, the chances of passing are so minute, and the chances of dying are so huge. Once you start, I cannot give you any preferential treatment, have you thought about it?”

“I have thought about it!” Tang Tian’s face showed a level of maturity and determination unseen for people of his age group: “Bring it!”

Tang Tian raised up his palms, exhaled air, and used his strength to push open the big doors.

The big door was not as heavy as what Tang Tian expected and slowly opened.

It was pitch black, with many lights floating around, looking like stars, floating across the night sky. It was unspeakably beautiful.

“It is so pretty!” Tang Tian gasped, shocked.
