23: At least he's a rookie champion! The seventh entry!

Seeing Camp Leader Xu Feng's unusual expression, Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping's face changed drastically:

"Something really happened?"

He had rushed over as soon as he received Liu Boyan's message, but had he still arrived too late?

Camp Leader Xu Feng was at a loss for words.

He could only say, "Please come and see for yourself first."

With that, he led Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping back into the monitoring department.

As they passed the identity registration personnel, Camp Leader Xu Feng spoke:

"There's no need to investigate Ye Ze's background; I've found it."

Hearing this, Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping frowned tightly.

Investigate background?

Isn't that a procedure only followed when a Warrior dies and their family needs to be contacted?

Could it be that...

Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping, who had been full of imposing aura, suddenly sighed with self-reproach.

As he was thinking, Camp Leader Xu Feng led him to the monitoring ceremony and had a clerk pull up Ye Ze's information:

"Ye Ze, Summoner, Level 7."

"..."

Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand at Camp Leader Xu Feng and said:

"Not this one."

"The one I'm looking for is Level 4..."

"..."

Camp Leader Xu Feng fully understood his reaction.

Gaining 3 levels in less than half a day—no one would believe it!

He confirmed very seriously, "Regimental Commander, it's him!"

"Three hours ago, he was Level 4, a third-year student at War College..."

"..." Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping fell silent, looking at him wordlessly for a long time.

Pollution Land, soloing, gaining 3 levels in three hours?

Would such a genius need me to look after him?

"That's not right, he's only Level 4, how could he defeat the Fiends in the Pollution Land? Did he team up?"

The clerk reported truthfully, "He soloed for most of the time; he only just teamed up with another person."

Camp Leader Xu Feng became excited: "It's true, Regimental Commander! He's simply a genius among geniuses!"

"Quickly tell me, who is that comrade of yours who can nurture such a genius?"

Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping was a bit bewildered.

His former comrade, Liu Boyan, had been teaching at a high school after retiring due to injury, and his position hadn't risen much.

How could he have quietly cultivated such a divine being?

"Old Liu, this..."

Camp Leader Xu Feng remembered something else and showed him the map sandbox:

"Regimental Commander, look, Ye Ze's solo pioneering speed far surpasses everyone else's!"

"He's already pushed deep into the 19th Contaminated Land... This is a top-tier vanguard Scout!"

As the Regimental Commander of the East China Army, Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping naturally knew how terrifying this pioneering speed was!

In the army, becoming a Rookie King would be effortless!

Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping's eyes suddenly lit up, and he excitedly clapped his hands, saying:

"I understand!"

"This isn't Old Liu asking me to look after a student?"

"This is Old Liu sending talent to my East China Army!!"

"Aiya!" Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping paced back and forth excitedly, "How did Old Liu know our regiment was short on talent..."

"It has to be Old Liu; he really does care about me!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Camp Leader Xu Feng whispered, "Regimental Commander, this is the talent our Scout Camp discovered..."

Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping instantly became serious: "What nonsense!"

"Never mind which camp or which regiment, the most important thing is..."

"This child, our East China Army must not let him go!"

"Right!" Camp Leader Xu Feng was very supportive.

But in his heart, Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping secretly thought: Luckily I came today!

Otherwise, where would I snatch this talent?

I owe Old Liu a favor...

...

At the same time, Ye Ze, who had just leveled up, looked at his experience bar with a joyful expression.

"Level: 7 (1080/4300)"

That batch of Fiends was not only enough for him to level up, but even gave him an extra quarter of the experience!

At the same time, the Squirrel picked up the dropped items.

It turned out to be a rare-grade skill book.

"Reinforced Bones: Warrior skill book, usable at Level 15."

It greatly increases defense, and theoretically, the Panda can learn it once it reaches Level 15.

But the level difference was still very far.

By the time he actually reached Level 15, Ye Ze was confident he wouldn't be lacking rare-grade skills.

So he still fed the skill book to the Panda.

Although the skill book is usable at Level 15, if it's not Level 15... it can still be eaten!

The Panda opened its large bear mouth, chewed, and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Eat What You Eat—Consumed 'Reinforced Bones', gained: Constitution +4, damage taken from bladed weapons reduced by 15%!"

Noticing that the Panda seemed to find the food a bit bland, Ye Ze gave it a few more bamboo shoots.

Afterward, Ye Ze began to draw the Level 7 entry.

Two or three breaths later, a golden shimmering entry box stopped in front of him.

And this time, the entry actually made Ye Ze a little troubled...

"You have drawn the Golden Legendary entry: Void Creatures!"

"Void Creatures: Living in the Endless Void, possessing adaptability and uniqueness beyond all things, capable of traversing the Void."

(Note: Void Creatures possess uncertainty, and the differences produced when bestowed upon different targets are significant.)

"Void..."

Even in the most detailed textbooks, the description of the Void was only a few sparse sentences.

The most frequent mention was:

The Endless Void, originating from beyond the world, is as mysterious and powerful as the Eternal Abyss...

But humans had never seen true Void life.

This made Ye Ze hesitate for a moment, wondering who to give the entry to?

Coupled with the note that uncertain results might occur, it made Ye Ze a bit hesitant.

The Panda, its positioning was already very clear: Warrior, main melee force!

The Squirrel could develop into an Assassin, or focus on support, reconnaissance, treasure hunting, etc.

These two Summoned Beasts were already very good; it seemed unnecessary to gamble on an uncertainty.

Then finally...

Ye Ze looked at the only remaining slot: Summoned Beast Space (2/3).

"I can still contract one more Summoned Beast."

Where to contract one?

Ye Ze pondered for a long time and finally settled on: the Demon Suppressing Army Treasury!

For every 1000 additional military merits, one could go to a higher-level Demon Suppressing Army Treasury to select items.

Since it was a military treasure vault, there must be many good Summoned Beasts!

If he accumulated enough military merits, perhaps he could directly choose a suitable third Summoned Beast!

With this thought, Ye Ze temporarily put aside the 'Void Creatures' entry.

He began to think about ways to earn military merits...

"But the most urgent task is to clear this Fiend stronghold first."

After thinking it over, Ye Ze decided to go to the left courtyard first to help Ruan Xiaoyou deal with the Fiends there.

Hmm... he could also get some more experience!

...

In another courtyard, Ruan Xiaoyou had already killed half of the Fiends.

This speed was already very fast, but she wanted to be even faster.

"I wonder how Ye Ze is doing..."

"He'd better be faster, to prevent him from being overwhelmed and having problems."

The biggest drawback of Assassins was their lack of area-of-effect skills.

Facing the encirclement of Corpse Demons and the attacks of Demon Elite, she could only try to kill one with each strike.

At this moment, her peripheral vision suddenly caught a Squirrel!

That Shadow Squirrel was rapidly twitching its nose nearby, seemingly sniffing for some scent.

Ruan Xiaoyou: "?"

"Isn't that Ye Ze's Summoned Beast?"

"Why isn't it fully engaged in killing monsters now, what is it doing here?"

Wait... Ruan Xiaoyou's delicate brows furrowed, "Could it be that Ye Ze can't hold on anymore and sent the Squirrel to ask for help?"

She couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

But again, to her surprise, the Squirrel ignored her completely and ran straight into the depths of the temple.

Ruan Xiaoyou: "???"

She had no idea that this Shadow Squirrel, which she considered Ye Ze's 'strongest' Summoned Beast,

was merely sent out by Ye Ze to search for treasure...
