22: Chapter 22 Searching, Fighting, and Withdrawing from the Battlefield? Interesting.

You must know, there are fewer than twenty boundless grade divine weapons in existence in the world today.

They are even rarer than the number of martial gods!

Their value is self-evident.

The entire venue was silent at first, followed by a burst of frantic roars!

Even Zheng Jiahao, who comes from an excellent family background, sighed at this moment: "The Military is really going all out this time! A boundless grade divine weapon—even if I used my family's entire fortune to buy one, I might not be able to find it!"

The Zheng family of the capital is one of the top major families in the capital. If even Zheng Jiahao says so, it's no wonder this crowd is so crazy.

However, just as everyone was excited, Li Mo thought of a question.

Such a precious treasure—even if one gets their hands on it, can they keep it?

Even martial gods covet boundless grade divine weapons. They, these recruits, are only in the Hidden Edge Realm; the gap is like heaven and earth.

Even major families in the capital might not be able to hold onto a boundless grade divine weapon, let alone recruits like them.

Li Mo posed this question to Zheng Jiahao and the other, and both of them instantly calmed down.

"Being innocent is no crime, but possessing a treasure is."

Even if they really obtained this reward, whether they could keep it was still a question.

Just as General Qin Fei announced that the reward was a boundless grade divine weapon, he was also observing everyone's reactions.

Seeing that only Li Mo's Moyu Squad was relatively calm, he cast a look of approval.

Zhang Ruxue is part of the troops under his command, so he had long heard about Li Mo from her.

Although quite a few geniuses have indeed appeared among this batch of recruits, these geniuses would probably also have to call Li Mo a genius.

Admittedly, there are at least ten recruits in this batch who have reached the ninth grade of the Hidden Edge Realm, but not a single one has reached the Foundation Establishment Realm!

The ninth grade of the Hidden Edge Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm may seem to be only a small realm apart, but the difference is like heaven and earth!

Many ordinary people cannot even cross it in their entire lives!

It is one thing for Li Mo to have good talent, but what is rare is that his temperament is so steady. Facing the temptation of a boundless grade divine weapon, he was not carried away. This is the most important quality for a soldier.

However, the things Li Mo was considering had actually already been considered by The Military.

General Qin Fei then said: "Whoever wins first place in this competition will have this boundless grade divine weapon personally awarded to them! Everyone, rest assured, this boundless grade divine weapon will re-bind to its owner. Not only will others be unable to plunder it, but it also has a soul imprint engraved upon it. Anyone who dares to snatch it is going against The Military as a whole!"

Re-binding to the owner, plus the double insurance of the soul imprint, meant that whoever obtained this boundless grade divine weapon would truly possess it completely.

There is basically no need to worry about others snatching it!

Who would dare to go head-to-head with the state machinery of Great Xia?

At this moment, even Li Mo was tempted. Naturally, he would try every means to get his hands on such a divine weapon.

General Qin Fei stopped wasting words and, taking advantage of the fact that everyone's fighting spirit had been ignited by the boundless grade divine weapon, said: "Is everyone ready? If you're ready, let's set off! The battlefield is only twenty kilometers away from Winter City! We will arrive soon!"

"I'll say this beforehand: anyone who is afraid of death can choose to withdraw now! Although this is a test, it is, after all, a battlefield! Rescue might not be that timely!"

Everyone standing here is an elite among the recruits. While their strength may vary, there is not a single coward among them!

Seeing that no one proposed to withdraw, General Qin Fei had his subordinates take the recruits participating in the assessment to the battlefield.

On the way, Zhang Ruxue found the three of them—Li Mo, Zheng Jiahao, and Xu Feng—and explained the rules of the actual combat assessment to them.

First, the battlefield they were being deployed to is a place called the Desolate Valley Mountains. This place is twenty kilometers away from Winter City and is also the area with the most exotic beasts nearby.

When each person enters the battlefield, they will first be issued a points watch.

This points watch represents the score of each squad.

For example, killing an exotic beast of the third grade of the Hidden Edge Realm earns one point.

Killing an exotic beast of the sixth grade of the Hidden Edge Realm earns ten points, and so on.

Inside the exotic beasts, there is something called a Blood Core, which is the energy crystal of the exotic beast.

Placing this crystal on the watch allows the watch to automatically determine the grade of the exotic beast and award points.

In addition to gaining points by killing exotic beasts, The Military has also pre-placed various resources throughout the battlefield. Finding these resources can also earn a large number of points.

As for the final ranking, it will be determined by these points obtained.

The Military has given them three days. During these three days, they must stay within the Desolate Valley Mountains.

Of course, this is only an actual combat assessment, and The Military is afraid that these good seedlings, selected with such difficulty, might die. Therefore, they have given each squad a signal gun. When they feel they cannot hold on, they can immediately fire the signal gun, and The Military will send people to support them; the corresponding results will also be immediately settled.

The three of them had a general understanding of the rules. Xu Feng sighed: "Isn't this just search, attack, and withdraw?"

Upon hearing this, Li Mo smiled indifferently. The phrasing was crude but the principle was sound; this assessment by The Military really was a bit like the search, attack, and withdraw in games.

The only difference is that games can be replayed, but here, people really die!

This was also Li Mo's first time facing exotic beasts, and he felt slightly apprehensive.

Thirty-two squads boarded helicopters separately and were deployed to different locations in the Desolate Valley Mountains.

Before long, the three of them finally arrived at their destination. As far as the eye could see in the entire Desolate Valley Mountains, they could see a large number of exotic beasts. They looked terrifying, and from time to time, they let out terrifying roars.

"Go down! Good luck!"

Following Zhang Ruxue's encouragement, the three of them immediately leaped down and jumped straight onto the ground.

The three's special training had some results. As soon as they landed on the ground, Li Mo immediately began to command in his capacity as captain.

"Zheng Jiahao, jump into the trees to scout and report the types and numbers of exotic beasts to me."

"Yes!"

"Xu Feng, stay alert at all times. If you encounter an exotic beast ambush, you test the waters first."

"Yes!"

The next moment, Zheng Jiahao and Xu Feng took out their weapons and began their respective tasks.

Zheng Jiahao's weapon was still a dagger. He jumped directly to the highest tree nearby and began to observe the surrounding environment.

And Xu Feng, this big guy, also had a weapon to match—a mace weighing several hundred catties. What he had to do was very simple: stand guard around Li Mo, like Li Mo's bodyguard.

At the same time, Li Mo also took out his long spear. He was both the captain and the main force of the team. If they encountered any troublesome exotic beasts, it was obvious that they could only rely on him alone to deal with them.

Zheng Jiahao lived up to expectations and quickly provided the approximate distribution of the enemy situation nearby.

To their due east, there was a large area where exotic beasts were gathered, but they were basically relatively weak ones, generally below the fourth grade of the Hidden Edge Realm, and they would not actively attack people.

And to the southeast, there was a group of insect-type exotic beasts that were more difficult to deal with.

Before Zheng Jiahao could finish speaking, Li Mo sensed that the ground nearby seemed to be shaking, and bursts of wolf howls came from an unknown distance.

"Awoo! Awoo!"

Zheng Jiahao's expression changed on the tree, and he snorted coldly: "Li Mo, a pack of Nether Wolves is coming! Their target is not us; they seem to be hunting, but they are going to pass through where we are!"
