829 Rocketing Strength (1/2)
”How is the current situation? Are we making smooth progress?” Jun Mo Xie asked.
Solitary Falcon smirked, an unusually proud expression on his face. ”The progress has been rather smooth; the three hundred members of the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer have all reached the realm of Sky Xuan! Another five of them had already attained the peak level of a Sky Xuan. As long as they maintain a tranquil mind they will be able to breakthrough to Spirit Xuan any moment!”
”How can it be this fast?!” This unexpected good news left Jun Mo Xie astonished.
It really was too unexpected. To be honest, all these people making up the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer were all old, retired soldiers. These people had unserving determination and an unyielding fighting spirit that got stronger when they encountered stronger opponents. But none of them truly stood out in terms of their aptitude, and they had gone long past the ideal age range for cultivating Xuan Qi.
Aside from their unyielding will to fight, the main reason why they could achieve such great achievement lay in the great effects of the pills Jun Mo Xie had provided. The extremely difficult training they had undergone was also an extremely important segment!
Almost everyday was filled with exhausting training filled with the fear of death! Only under this sort of bloody training, where they had to constantly struggle on between the borders of life and death, could the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer attain their achievements today.
But even then, Jun Mo Xie never thought that they would be able to cultivate this rapidly!
”Looks like even you underestimated the effects of the Bone Tempering Pill.” Solitary Falcon glanced at him and continued. ”Although the heaven defying effects of the Bone Tempering Pill mainly have effect on the bone structure, but you must not forget that most of the meridians circulate around the skeleton; the more coordinated the bone structure becomes, the meridians will also adjust and change accordingly… They naturally complement each other!”
Even Feng Juan Yun's stoic face revealed a hint of smile. ”After everyone took the pill and underwent intense training that confronted death everyday, every single one of them was juicing out the greatest potential in their body. At the same time as they went through hardships, they completed rounds and rounds of thorough change in their meridians! This way, their bodies experienced metamorphic effects through a different method. Although the natural endowments that used to hinder them from advancing in the past were not completely eradicated, they have been greatly reduced! If you check on their current aptitude, most of them are mid-tier and above, and some have even achieved superior levels! Thus is it not by chance that they attained their current achievements!”
”Then that's great! They were originally restricted by their aptitudes, limiting the extent of their achievements. Now that they unexpectedly underwent a change in their bodies, allowing them to become more malleable, it really is good news, great news!” Jun Mo Xie was extremely elated. This sort of outcome was a surprise beyond his expectations.
”What about you guys? How is the progress?” Jun Mo Xie looked over to Baili Luo Yun and Leng Ao.
”Earlier, we had picked out a total of one thousand children! When we were back in Tian Xiang, we had eliminated three hundred of them. After going through this period of training, we eliminated a total of six hundred and ninety five people! Currently, there is only a total of five people who are worthy of becoming assassins! After including Tian Can and Di Que, there is a total of seven!”
Leng Ao paused for a while before adding. ”Asides, out of the few people Luo Yun selected from Tian Xiang, three of them were rendered useless during a mission, so they're also considered eliminated… There are three more, and after adding them and the two of us, there is only a total of twelve people who have completely fulfilled the basic requirements of becoming an assassin!”
Jun Mo Xie nodded his head and said, ”Twelve people, in other words, after excluding the two of you and Tian Can, Di Que, there are eight who were chosen. Not bad, not bad. To be able to pick out eight from one thousand, this sort of probability is already not bad! Looks like the two of you have a good hand at picking assassins! I am extremely satisfied with this sort of results!”
Baili Luo Yun and Leng Ao exchanged looks, clearly surprised.
The reason why Leng Ao had hesitated when reporting was precisely because the number of people was too little. The two of them were extremely strict and would rather have nothing than go for shoddy options; after a thorough search, only these few could make the cut. They had thought Jun Mo Xie would throw a fit because there was too little people. After all, the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer did not have a single elimination in their members, but they did not think that Young Master Jun would be pleased with this sort of outcome!
Although Baili Luo Yun and Leng Ao were prodigies of their generation, with exceptional talent and outstanding capabilities, and Leng Ao hailed as a disciple from the Supreme Assassin Chu Qi Hun, but they were still limited by their experience, and could not understand the logic of the ordinary impedition of life!
How many truly excellent assassins were there in the whole of Xuan Xuan Continent? Only big families who had undergone all the vicissitudes of life have and owned the method for the so-called nurturing of assassins would have one.
Regardless of family, nature, personality, habits, temperament, aptitude… to find someone who fulfilled the requirement of every single aspect was extremely rare! Not even one in hundreds!
One was not considered an assassin just because they knew how to kill! The requirements for becoming a qualified assassins was more difficult than picking top scholars in the imperial examinations!
Both Bali Luo Yun and Leng Ao were naturally gifted with exceptional cultivation and were even more sharp-eyed when it came to picking talents so they would be even more harsh in their judgement. But those young successors whom managed to catch their eye would definitely be outstanding and promising!
It was already a relatively high ratio to be able to get eight out of one thousand. Young Master Jun was an outstanding assassin himself, so he knew about the difficulty in finding people with the aptitude to become assassins. How could he not be satisfied with such results!
”These eight people… including the two of you, Tian Can, and Di Que will still need to go through another round of refining and elimination!” Jun Mo Xie slowly said. ”It is never an easy task to becoming an exceptional assassin!”
