Chapter 738: New Recruits

To enter the barracks, one first and foremost had to prove that they did indeed have Spiritual Ocean Tier cultivation. Those who had yet to reach this cultivation level would not even have the opportunity to undergo the test.
There were a total of four people. The oldest was an old man who looked to be in his sixties, with Spiritual Infant Tier cultivation, followed by a bulky middle-aged man, who had similarly reached the Spiritual Infant Tier. Then there was a young man who looked to be close to thirty years old, though his cultivation level was a bit weaker as he had only reached the Flower Blossom Tier, and the last was a beautiful young girl, similarly in the Flower Blossom Tier.
Compared to the others who were only in the Spiritual Ocean and the Spiritual Pedestal Tier, the four of them naturally appeared like swans amongst a flock of chickens, standing out against the norm.
Ling Han cultivated an ancient technique, so his cultivation level was not apparent. Zhu Xuan Er, on the other hand, was similarly obvious with her cultivation in the Flower Blossom Tier. Thankfully, she had disguised herself somewhat; although she was still very beautiful, she was not as fatally exquisite as she had been before. Otherwise, the people here would go into a frenzy for her.
Those that had achieved the requirement entered into the barracks. Ling Han slightly extended his aura and naturally entered as well. Hu Niu, meanwhile, was temporarily settled at the resting area, where she sat cross-legged together with Rabbit and began feasting merrily.
A middle-aged man walked out. He was in the Spiritual Infant Tier, his whole figure exuding a harsh, severe air; he had obviously experienced an unknown number of cruel battles. A mere look from him was enough to cause one’s heart to s.h.i.+ver and legs to weaken.
“Our Purple Moon Army has no desire for tras.h.!.+” he began. “I am Xiao Yong Nian, your military instructor. You all have two months to convince me why I should agree to allow you to become soldiers!
“The door to the barracks lies there, and those who do not qualify… I will immediately throw them out!
“Tell me, are you all trash?”
Everyone felt enraged. Although there were not many elites of the Flower Blossom Tier, the others were at least in the Spiritual Ocean and the Spiritual Pedestal Tier. If even they were considered trash, then there was really no limit to the height of the standards required.
“No!” everyone shouted, seemingly all at the same time.
“Very good, I hope that you all aren’t trash as well, because the thing I hate the most is tras.h.!.+” Xiao Yong Nian’s eyes swept over the crowd. “There is a total of 533 people here, but as far as I can see, only 50 people would be able to pa.s.s at most. From now onwards, I will use the strictest methods to train all of you. In my eyes, there is no difference between men and women, nor is there any difference between the elderly or youths. The only difference is: those who qualify and those who do not. Those who do not want to undergo the training, get out of here immediately!”
This time, those who had been thinking of leaving had their pride provoked. If they left now, wouldn’t they then become trash?
Not one person moved a single step.
“Very good, none of you want to be trash. However, it is not you who determine whether you’re trash or not, but me!” Xiao Yong Nian sneered. “As a soldier, the most important thing is to obey commands. Even if a burning mountain lies in front of you, if you are ordered to advance, then you must not retreat!
“Now, use the Horse Stance!”
Horse Stance?
That was a bit too elementary, right? Who amongst them had not advanced from the Body Refining Tier? Who had not practiced the Horse Stance and stood on stumps before?
The majority stood in the Horse Stance, but there were still a few that showed obvious disdain.
