Chapter 325: Great Thunder and Fire Sword Technique, Demon Slayer! (Two in One)

"A year of slaying demons and eliminating evil?" Song Changming looked at the latest annual evaluation.

That's true.

Last year, a demon disaster was enough to represent the major event of the whole year.

Song Changming even killed hundreds of demons of all sizes by himself, and this evaluation summary is not an exaggeration at all.

It is precisely because of his outstanding performance in the demon disaster that all the content evaluations in his annual evaluation are quite positive.

In terms of martial arts cultivation, he just broke through the third earth martial vein not long ago, and his innate cultivation increased greatly, which also raised his evaluation points.

In addition to mastering the third-grade wind and thunder god movement art, he also exchanged a desired second-grade sword art in the military arsenal with outstanding achievements, and also mastered it.

Second-grade Thunder Fire Sword Art!

As the name suggests, it is a rare thunder and fire dual-system martial art.

In terms of lethality, as long as you can control this sword art, there is absolutely nothing to say.

The reason for choosing this sword art is naturally to give full play to his own advantages and characteristics.

His Fire-near Dao Body and Thunder Dao Body, two major physical characteristics!

It can be said that this sword technique is perfectly matched, making the already powerful sword technique two levels stronger!

This is what he had imagined from the beginning.

With this high-grade sword technique, he can also make up for his shortcomings in swordsmanship.

The annual reward afterwards is still to choose two out of four options.

He doesn't need to think too much about the first reward.

It must be the 6,000+ life reward.

Only by choosing this reward can he have extra life to choose the second reward while keeping one life as a minimum.

His eyes stayed on the second and third reward items on the panel.

Whether it is to obtain a new physique or upgrade the old characteristics, he wants both opportunities.

The blue new characteristic of "Demon Killer" is not difficult to judge literally. After obtaining it, he will get extra help when he kills demons in the future.

For him, it is naturally very useful.

Whether it is the duties in the army or the practice of witch refining, it is destined that he will frequently fight with the demons in the future.

Upgrading the original characteristics can only upgrade his Qi Refiner, which is his last green-grade characteristic.

The other blue-grade characteristics are not within the scope of this upgrade reward.

In fact, this "Qi Refiner" is also a characteristic he wanted to upgrade a long time ago.

Qi Refiner can speed up the efficiency of his Qi Refining practice in the Xiantian Realm, which is equivalent to speeding up the process of opening his Xiantian Wumai.

Now, Song Changming's physical practice has made great progress. When facing powerful opponents, it is often his Xiantian Realm that drags him down.

Therefore, from a long-term perspective, it is necessary to upgrade the Qi Refiner characteristic.

"But it's a pity to give up the new characteristic." Song Changming weighed it repeatedly.

Perhaps this year's summary evaluation is a year of slaying demons and eliminating monsters, so this new characteristic is available.

If he gives up, he may not be able to get this characteristic reward in the future.

If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it.

However, the reward for upgrading the characteristics has appeared more than once.

"After all, the life span is too short," Song Changming sighed.

If he could squander his lifespan, he wouldn't have such troubles.

But the accumulation of lifespan can only be increased slowly over time.

The longer he lives, the longer his lifespan will be.

After thinking for a while, Song Changming still chose this year's limited reward.

Demon Killer (Blue): A natural demon killer with a special attack physique for demon killing. Any attack has an additional increase in the lethality of demons.

After each demon killing, there is a certain probability of entering a state of blood boiling, and the combat power can be continuously improved.

Looking at the new blue feature on the panel, the specific effect is similar to what he expected, a characteristic physique specially provided for demon killing.

However, the specific characteristic effect can only be exerted when he kills a demon again, and it is of little use on weekdays.

After choosing his annual reward, Song Changming looked at his remaining lifespan.

More than 38,600 days.

Not bad, this year's annual reward deducted the consumption of obtaining the new characteristic reward item, and there was still a thousand in the account, which was more than the lifespan he accumulated in a year.

"Come to think of it, when did I participate in this incident?" Song Changming finally said, his eyes fell back on the information in the annual summary.

There was nothing wrong with everything else, but among the major events he participated in, the Tianfeng Nirvana event made him a little confused.

Before, he only remembered that the spreading demon disaster was caused by a secret treasure of Tianfeng Feather.

But he had experienced the entire demon disaster, and he had never touched Tianfeng Feather from beginning to end, let alone what Tianfeng Nirvana meant.

He didn't understand why he was recorded in the annual summary as having participated in this event.

"Could it be because I had contact with that big demon buzzard?" Song Changming thought in his heart.

There is indeed a saying that it was the buzzard that took the Tianfeng Feather and then entered the ranks of big demons.

But just touching the buzzard, even if he participated in this inexplicable event, it seems a bit far-fetched.

This event is too easy to trigger.

Song Changming couldn't figure it out, so he simply closed the panel and stopped thinking about it for the time being.

After all, the demon disaster happened a year ago, so there is no point in thinking about it now.

Seeing that the little yellow chicken on the stone table had passed out drunk, with its legs up and belly turned up, Song Changming picked up one of the chicken's paws and carried it into the house to rest.

The next morning, Song Changming walked out of the courtyard wearing the Liuyun armor that represented the identity of the commander, without a helmet.

On the street outside the courtyard, a soldier who was also wearing military armor was leading two horses and waiting quietly.

Seeing Song Changming coming out, the soldiers immediately stepped forward and saluted.

"General!"

"Let's go to the fifth district." Song Changming nodded and jumped on the horse directly.

"Yes!" The soldiers followed immediately.

The soldier's name was Rong Jiang. He looked ordinary and looked young. He had a bit of heroic spirit, but he was actually over 40 years old.

Of course, among the innate warriors, being in his 40s is really nothing, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is young.

At present, this person is beside Song Changming, serving as a personal guard.

Riding all the way, he soon came from the third district to the outermost fifth district.

A martial arts field, the morning dew has not yet dissipated, and this place is already crowded with people.

Today, the Cuiqi Army is recruiting again. The news has been spread a long time ago.

Since the demon disaster, the Cuiqi Army has been recruiting soldiers almost every month in the past year or so, and the frequency is the highest in the past few decades!

In order to respond to the instructions of the Cui King, restore the military strength as soon as possible, and expand the number of troops.

"General!"

"General!"

"."

With the arrival of Song Changming, the soldiers in charge of the martial arts field saluted Song Changming one after another.

This immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers who gathered here.

"Who is he? He looks so young, how can he make all these soldiers salute?"

"You are from another place, right? This general armor can only be worn by the commander in the army. Who do you think he is?"

"Master, commander, my God, he looks about the same age as my child."

"Innate warriors always age slowly, what's the matter with this."

"Yes, yes."

Song Changming walked all the way to the martial arts field as if no one was around. This martial arts field was not unfamiliar to him.

When he was assessed for military service, he took part in it here. In the end, he was recognized by Xing Tiexin for his outstanding strength and potential.

Now he is back, and he is already a general in the army, on par with Xing Tiexin!

"General."

A burly man with a face full of flesh and a black eye mask covering his left eye strode over and saluted Song Changming.

His figure was at least 2.23 meters tall, like a black bear, and his bloody energy was extremely intimidating.

This man was named Feng Xingzhuo, and he was once a disciple of the Demon Slaying Pavilion in the Jiuyou area, on the border of Yunzhou.

But a year ago, the Demon Slaying Pavilion was attacked by a demon tribe led by a big demon because of a big grudge, and 99% of the disciples in the pavilion died.

Feng Xingzhuo happened to be not in the pavilion at that time and escaped, but he was also chased by the demon tribe all the way, and he almost lost his life again when he wandered to the Cuibai Road in Yunzhou.

When his life was hanging by a thread, he was rescued by Song Changming who was out killing monsters, and he survived.

After that, Feng Xingzhuo recuperated alone in the main city of Cuibai for three months. The rest of his injuries recovered, but his left eye was eaten by the monster, and there was no possibility of recovery.

After recovering from his injuries, he accidentally learned that the Cuiqi Army where Song Changming was was recruiting soldiers. With nowhere to go, he had the idea of ​​surrendering to his savior.

In the end, although he lost his left eye, he was easily selected by virtue of his Xiantian realm cultivation of opening three earth martial veins, and joined the recruits formed by Song Changming as he wished.

He started as a centurion, and then it took only half a year for Song Changming to promote him to deputy general.

And he was also Song Changming's first deputy general, and won Song Changming's initial trust with his performance.

To this day, Feng Xingzhuo is Song Changming's top capable general.

For Song Changming's new recruits, which had just started and were formed from scratch, it was not easy to get talents of Feng Xingzhuo's level.

Even Xing Tiexin, when he met Feng Xingzhuo, said that Song Changming was really lucky to have found such a fierce general in less than a year.

You know, it took him more than ten years to train Fu Yuan from the head of the army to the deputy general!

Excellent talents in the army are not so easy to find, nor are they so easy to train.

Therefore, after Song Changming took office as the new commander, he was happy for Song Changming on the one hand, but he was reluctant to let Song Changming leave on the other hand.

After all, he was afraid that he would never have such an excellent deputy general like Song Changming in his life.

And without Song Changming, the combat effectiveness of his troops almost plummeted instantly.

Back to the martial arts field.

"It's almost ready, let's start." Song Changming glanced at the equipment and props that had been prepared in the martial arts field and nodded.

"Okay." Feng Xingzhuo agreed, turned around and waved his hand.

The soldiers all understood and began to control the situation and conduct today's recruitment assessment.

One by one, civilian warriors began to enter the venue.

As in previous sessions, rounds of project screening began, and only those with outstanding performance could stay.

"Ruan Shan, your strength is not up to standard, go back."

"Jiang Biqing, failed to dodge the arrow."

"Li Wang, your weapon attainment is not up to standard."

"Next."

As the soldiers announced the test results one by one, there were those who passed, but of course, there were still more people who failed.

Song Changming's selection criteria were stricter than most of the troops in the army, so even fewer people passed his selection.

Ordinary physical training warriors had basically no chance unless they reached the extreme realm, and even those at the extreme realm had a high elimination rate.

Of course, this was not absolute.

If they are young and have good potential, Song Changming will also make an exception to accept them. This is why he will take time to be present every time he recruits new soldiers.

To ensure that no fish slips through his net.

Some fish may be small, but as long as they are given a development platform and opportunity, they are expected to grow into whale sharks in the future.

"Let that one stay." Song Changming pointed to a young man who was about to be eliminated in the examination room and said to Feng Xingzhuo on the side.

Feng Xingzhuo swept his one eye and fell on the young man who failed to pass the weapon attainment.

"Is there anything special about him?" Feng Xingzhuo asked puzzledly.

"This person's root bone talent is pretty good. He is not good at martial arts and swordsmanship because he is young and lacks the guidance and inheritance of famous teachers. Of course, it is not ruled out that his comprehension qualifications are not up to standard.

However, just based on this potential root bone talent, it is enough to give him a chance to start as a soldier." Song Changming said.

Feng Xingzhuo nodded and went to lead people.

Song Changming rarely made exceptions to recruit people before, but it was not without experience.

Those recruits who were recruited as an exception had a low starting point and were usually ranked at the bottom of the army.

But as time went by, these people had a direction and soon gradually showed an extraordinary growth rate in the army, climbing up little by little, proving that Song Changming's vision was not wrong.

Therefore, Feng Xingzhuo was very convinced of Song Changming's vision and just did it.

Li Wang, dressed in cloth, shook his head and sighed, very disappointed that he could not join the army this time.

"I thought that even if I couldn't become a captain, it shouldn't be a big problem to be a soldier. It seems that I thought this army was simple."

Just as he was about to go back, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, shrouding him firmly in shadow.

"Uh, this..." Li Wang was startled by the huge figure in front of him like a wall.

He took a step back to see the person coming, who was the general in charge of this conscription.

Feng Xingzhuo's size and aura were extremely oppressive and aggressive. Li Wang's throat moved slightly, but he found that even the small action of swallowing saliva became extremely difficult.

Feng Xingzhuo frowned subconsciously when he saw the other party's embarrassed appearance.

He didn't have a good first impression of this young man.

He always felt that not only was his strength weak, but even his mental will was still lacking.

Such a person, in his eyes, would not be the talent he wanted no matter how he looked at it.

But Song Changming had a sharp vision and a unique vision.

Moreover, Song Changming was the commander of the army, and his position as deputy commander was only used to assist Song Changming. How could he have other different opinions?

He just obeyed the order.

"You have passed for the time being, but your strength defects are still obvious, so the army needs to further examine you. When you fully meet the assessment standards in the future, you can officially become a soldier in the army.

Do you accept this?"
