36: Chapter 36 Sergeant First Class! Rookie King!

Is there any justice left in this world? Is there any humanity left?

Li Mo's base strength and base speed stats had both exceeded 3,000.

Even his base blood energy, the hardest base attribute to improve, had reached a terrifying level of over 2,000.

You have to realize that most martial artists in the early stage of the Blood Transformation Realm are only at around this attribute level.

Doesn't this mean that even though Li Mo is currently only at the seventh grade of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he can already go toe-to-toe with martial artists in the Blood Transformation Realm based on his base attributes?

You must understand that most martial artists in the Blood Transformation Realm need to accumulate experience for a long time in the Foundation Establishment Realm before breaking through.

This way, once they reach the Blood Transformation Realm, their life cultivation will be more solid, meaning their base attribute panels will be even higher!

Take Zhang Ruxue for example; she was dumbfounded when she heard Li Mo's base values.

She has currently been stuck at the Foundation Establishment Realm for two years, yet her base attributes are only a few hundred points higher than Li Mo's on average.

In other words, Li Mo had established the same base attributes in just three months that took her nearly four full years to build!

Comparing people is infuriating!

Most of the officers present probably didn't have base attributes as high as Li Mo's, let alone the recruits in the arena.

Not a single one of them had even one base attribute exceeding 1,000!

The corners of Li Mo's mouth curled up slightly; his bitter training these past few days hadn't been in vain.

He trained his physical fitness during the day and used the Starry Sky Meditation Chart to practice his mental cultivation method at night, essentially rotating twenty-four hours a day without rest.

Through his efforts, he had basically cultivated his two mental methods, the Weituo Heavenly Patrol Sutra and the Xuanwu True Art, to the Great Success stage.

Coupled with the terrifying five-fold bonus after the evolution of his Devouring Emperor Body, he had achieved these current results!

Li Mo could feel his own obvious improvement.

Now, even if he were to face that killer from the Black Death Group in the Liangyi Realm again, he would definitely not be completely powerless to fight back.

At the very least, he would have a chance to escape!

If he were to improve a little more and raise his base attribute panel to over 5,000, he might even have the strength to fight the killer!

The people around him all looked toward where Li Mo was standing.

"Oh my god! What kind of stats are these?"

"Even our instructors aren't this strong, right! Three months—this is truly formidable!"

"This guy is definitely going to be in first place! And he's leading by a huge margin!"

The crowd discussed it heatedly, with most people beating their chests and stamping their feet in frustration.

With Li Mo around, no matter what kind of genius one was, they could only sigh in defeat.

Even the high-level military leaders who were monitoring the recruits' progress had taken action at this moment.

Inside the various high-level buildings of Iron Blood City, it was also bustling with noise.

"In one hour, get me all the information on Li Mo!"

"This guy must join our Fourth Legion; go prepare quickly!"

"I didn't expect our The Military to have such a once-in-a-century genius; find a way to recruit him!"

Of course, no matter how much these officers argued, it ultimately required a nod from the person in the Marshals Mansion.

Inside the Marshals Mansion, a middle-aged, sturdy man wearing a marshal's cloak was drinking tea while watching the direction where Li Mo was.

"This Li Mo really is quite unexpected."

As soon as he said this, the secretary beside him hurriedly and respectfully said, "Congratulations, Marshal Zhao! You are about to gain another capable general."

This marshal was the person currently commanding the entire Daxia The Military, named Zhao Zhenyuan.

Zhao Zhenyuan smiled faintly and then said, "What do you mean by 'capable general'? Isn't it all for the service of Daxia?"

Although he said that, anyone with a discerning eye could see the joy on Zhao Zhenyuan's face.

The secretary's flattery was perfectly timed.

Then the secretary asked, "I wonder how the Marshal intends to arrange for this young comrade, Li Mo?"

Zhao Zhenyuan thought for a while; he could already roughly guess that the generals below were probably about to fight over Li Mo.

Therefore, the best distribution plan was to keep Li Mo as he was.

It was best to assign him to Zhang Ruxue's Huben Company according to the original rules!

This would avoid discord among the generals and prevent anyone from showing favoritism.

But for a person like Li Mo, the reward could not be too low.

A golden dragon is not a creature of the pond; in Zhao Zhenyuan's view, Li Mo's promotion speed would definitely be extremely fast in the future, so he needed to train his management skills now.

After thinking for a long while, Zhao Zhenyuan finally had a rough idea.

That was to promote Li Mo's rank directly to Staff Sergeant!

Secondly, although Li Mo was organizationally assigned to the Huben Company, an additional squad exclusively led by Li Mo could be registered.

This squad could bypass Zhang Ruxue's arrangements and act only under the command of officers at the general level or above!

The secretary gasped after hearing this.

"Marshal, I have never seen a recruit who has just finished the recruit period have such great power! Won't this reward be a bit too much? I'm afraid he might become an arrogant and unruly soldier in the future!"

"Too much?" Zhao Zhenyuan smiled lightly. "You think it's too much, but I think it's too little! Actually, in my opinion, there is no such thing as an arrogant and unruly soldier; as long as they have real ability, isn't it only right to be a bit arrogant?"

"Currently, the entire The Military has suffered significant losses after the last great war! We are in urgent need of such fresh blood! Just go and do as I arranged!"

"Yes!" The secretary immediately took Zhao Zhenyuan's plan and rushed to the All-Army Assessment Assembly venue.

Meanwhile, after the shock, the All-Army Assessment Assembly continued to proceed with orderly queue testing.

But all the spotlight of this assessment assembly was destined to be overshadowed by Li Mo.

In fact, the potential of this batch of recruits was not low. Many of them had base attributes reaching around seven or eight hundred.

This was not low at all! Generally, one could only have such attributes upon reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm.

After Li Mo, the only one who could be considered to have caused a stir was Zheng Jiahao's attributes.

Zheng Jiahao was severely lopsided; his realm was the second grade of the Foundation Establishment Realm, his strength was a pitiful 500, but his speed was as high as 3,000!

You must know that Li Mo had to combine the Devouring Emperor Body with bonuses like the Weituo Heavenly Patrol Sutra to exceed 3,000 in speed, yet Zheng Jiahao only had a D-grade talent.

Li Mo had once thought that Zheng Jiahao practiced an S-grade mental method, but now it seemed he had been a bit conservative. It might require at least an SS-grade mental method to achieve this! And not just one.

"The foundation of a big family is indeed profound," Li Mo sighed slightly.

Just at this moment, the assessment assembly was almost over.

After the various recorders tallied all the scores from the entire venue, they ranked the recorded attributes and finally handed them to Zhang Ruxue.

After getting the ranking and the rewards set by the Marshal, Zhang Ruxue began to read them out in front of the whole audience.

"Everyone, I announce that this All-Army Assessment Assembly has come to an end. Now, I will read the rankings. First place, Li Mo! Both his realm and the sum of his base attributes are first!"

No one was surprised that Li Mo was first.

With the sum of his three attributes approaching ten thousand, it would be absurd if he didn't take first place; The Military never engaged in cheating.

What truly shocked everyone was the reward Li Mo received.

"Recruit Li Mo, promoted to Staff Sergeant, entitled to first-class soldier subsidies, come up to receive the conferment!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole crowd was in an uproar again!

Staff Sergeant! For many in The Military, it was the end of a lifetime, but for Li Mo, it was merely a starting point!
