Speaking of this, Li Hu paused slightly, his pupils revealing a look of astonishnt: "The last ti I submitted prey to the Camp Supply Departnt, I heard that when Director Yuwen Sizheng broke through, his basic strength approached six Manes, enough to crush ordinary late-stage Cold Resistance level masters; and Minister is even more terrifying, with a basic strength exceeding six Manes upon breakthrough. Even if we trained to death, we might not compare."
Yang Zhong’s expression froze upon hearing this, then he shook his head with a bitter smile.
Speaking like this, Li Hu’s talent in Xia City is really nothing special.
He suddenly thought of sothing and whispered to Li Hu: "Hu Zi, do you know what our lord’s basic strength was when he broke through to Cold Resistance level?"
Upon hearing this question, Li Hu furrowed his brows in thought and recalled the night when Long Mountain was breached, rembering Xia Hong’s divine posture as he bent the Iron Stake Wall with a single kick, his eyes still filled with involuntary amazent.
"I don’t know, but it must be beyond our imagination!"
Both of them fell silent for a mont, finally tacitly skipping the topic.
Li Hu thought of sothing and suddenly asked: "By the way, we’re setting off for East Ridge tomorrow night. Have you inford all the team mbers?"
"All eighteen mbers have been notified."
After Yang Zhong answered, a hint of curiosity appeared on his face: "Hanqiong was suddenly demoted to an ordinary outpost, and the original seven departnts are moving to East Ridge. Why didn’t Lord Lu bring people from Hanqiong directly but returned to Xia City to select five hundred people? Did you hear the reasons, Hu Zi?"
Upon hearing this, Li Hu’s brow furrowed slightly, his face full of confusion, but he quickly shook his head with a smile: "Whatever the reason, it must be a good thing that our Zhaoyuan Squad was selected to go to the new outpost with Lord Lu. Three days ago, when I went to the Camp Supply Departnt to receive the notice, I saw the list. Among the five hundred people going, ours is the only low-level team. The remaining four hundred eighty people, eighty are mbers of the East Sun and Steel Mane two Advanced Teams, and the remaining four hundred are full mbers of eight Interdiate Hunting Teams.
And I heard from Lord Hong Tian that this opportunity to go to East Ridge is extrely rare, with a high probability of earning military rit. Many Interdiate Squads in the East Second District are desperate to go, but were all eliminated by Lord Lu, who instead called out the na of our Zhaoyuan Squad."
Hong Tian is the Defender of the East Second District, evidently the one responsible for recruitnt this ti.
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhong was montarily stunned, his face instantly showing a look of surprise.
Opportunities to earn military rit indeed make many people eager to go.
Obtaining a noble title grants the qualification to ascend the hall and et the lord, along with various treatnts associated with the title. Not to ntion the transcendent status after gaining the title, just the annual noble salary is enough to drive everyone in Xia City insane.
They are no exception!
But only one low-level team among five hundred people.
And many Interdiate Squads were eliminated, while Zhaoyuan Squad’s na was called?
Yang Zhong pondered for a long ti without finding a reason, so he continued:
"I’ve never heard of the place na East Ridge, and it’s not marked on the Map of the Great Xia in the Camp Supply Departnt, so it should be a newly discovered territory that can connect with other camps, thus providing opportunities for military rit!"
Li Hu nodded heavily, his expression excited: "Both of us have currently accumulated 300 military rit points. If we are moved to East Ridge this ti, and can acquire another 200 military rit points, then we can obtain a noble title and ascend the hall!"
A noble title and ascending the hall!
Upon hearing these four words, Yang Zhong’s face was full of shock.
Yet this ti, he was unexpectedly a bit more clear-headed than Li Hu.
"But such a precious opportunity, how could it fall to us? Even if Lord Lu truly needed a low-level hunting team, there are at least a dozen low-level teams in the East Second District stronger than us!"
In response to this, Li Hu’s eyes clearly flashed with so conjecture but he said nothing.
"Could it be..."
Yang Zhong reacted at this mont, but his words were cut off by an aged voice.
"What else could it be?
The newly discovered East Ridge outpost has imnse strategic value. Anyone with insight can see that going there ans military rit, so not only do people from your East Second District want to go, but there are also many people from the Inner City looking for Lu Yang. Were it not for Lu Yang’s prior explanation that no other Advanced Teams would be taken besides him and Zhao Hu, his doorstep would probably be trampled down.
Madam explained in advance, and coupled with the old man’s brazen request for his help, this opportunity was sought for you Zhaoyuan Squad!"
As the voice fell, Li Tiancheng, dressed in white, also stood in front of them. Li Tiancheng’s mood was evidently good lately, and despite his grandson and grandson-in-law glaring angrily at him, he showed no anger, maintaining a gentle smile as he looked at them.
The hot-tempered Yang Zhong stood right up, not treating Li Tiancheng as an elder at all, and said in fury: "Article 18 of Xia Law states no one shall trespass residences in the city; you..."
"Article 19 of Xia Law states the Prison Departnt, when investigating cases, has the authority to enter any residence in Xia City temporarily;
Since you’re so familiar with Xia Law, you must also be familiar with Xia Li.
The ’Ritual Chapter’ of Xia Li also specifies that any civilian eting a noble must perform the subordinate ritual; Furthermore, the courtesy of filial piety in the ’Ritual Chapter’ states one must perform a bowing ritual to blood relatives of elder generation. Since you revere Xia Law and Xia Li so, it stands to reason you will not defy it, co on! This old man is waiting for your ritual."
But unfortunately, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Tiancheng.
What followed from Li Tiancheng stifled his expression imdiately.
