Chapter 3118: My Choice Is Correct
Lin Moyu's eyes sparkled with clarity, increasingly understanding the rules of the battlefield.
In the Ancient Battle Secret Realm, advancing in military rank can be both difficult and easy.
Completing tasks repeatedly and earning rewards allows for rank advancement after several tasks.
This method is slow but suitable for most people.
If one wants to quickly advance in rank, they must over-fulfill tasks to earn extra rewards.
Like himself, after joining the Divine Rune Army, he directly advanced from soldier to ten-man commander with just one task.
Then with another task, he advanced from ten-man commander to hundred-man commander.
Compared to others, he advanced much faster.
But this method only suits himself and cannot be replicated.
Over-fulfilling tasks is very difficult and dangerous.
Executing tasks smoothly each time is relatively safe but wastes a lot of time; one opening of the Ancient Battle Secret Realm might only allow completion of one or two tasks.
Su Fengze does this, as do the others.
Lin Moyu murmured, "The rules in the secret realm are really about selecting the best; the more outstanding you are, the more benefits you gain."
"Just as each clan needs top powerhouses, so does the Divine Rune Army; they're also selecting the best."
"For the Divine Rune Army, there are many geniuses; only top geniuses can stand out."
Lin Moyu's gaze became clearer as he understood the meaning of the secret realm's rules.
As long as you perform excellently enough, rewards will not be lacking.
And tasks essentially require results; the process isn't that strict.
Although he didn't successfully turn the prehistoric powerhouse into a revived being earlier, a soul had already formed and flesh was regenerating.
In some sense, that being was already revived, at least temporarily revived.
The word "temporary" is magical; sometimes even a moment is temporary.
So he received rewards and because it was brief enough, he got extra rewards too.
The rule-setter of the secret realm seems to have some restrictions too, not wanting prehistoric matters known by others, at least not by ordinary people.
To know more, one must continuously advance in rank and prove their worthiness.
This situation is quite similar to reality. Those without ability can only know very little information.
The rosy light receded, and the seal slowly fell back into Lin Moyu's hand.
Besides stronger armor, a hundred-man commander could summon a hundred Divine Rune soldiers.
The summoned Divine Rune soldiers were still at Lin Moyu's realm level; only their number increased tenfold, which was of no use to Lin Moyu.
A broader map appeared with five light spots representing five tasks.
"The map expanded by about double, with three new tasks."
"Even if not over-fulfilling tasks, completing three will surely raise my rank to thousand-man commander."
"However, for ordinary cultivators to complete three tasks, one opening of the Ancient Battle Secret Realm is definitely not enough."
"But for me, if luck isn't bad, I only need one."
The Luck Dao emerged as Lin Moyu enhanced his luck before casually choosing a task.
Skeleton generals had explored large areas while he completed previous tasks; this task point was among them.
Comparing two maps clearly showed Lin Moyu the exact location.
...
In the distance, Su Fengze suddenly turned towards Lin Moyu's location.
"That's where Friend Lin is; Friend Lin's luck has become even stronger than before." In his eyes, Lin Moyu's luck transformed into purple dragons soaring skyward.
Luck transforming into dragons is luck at its peak.
But Su Fengze knew that even with luck transforming into dragons there were different levels.
Lin Moyu's luck had transformed into noble purple dragons spiraling in the sky.
And not just one but three.
Previously when seeing Lin Moyu his luck had also transformed into a purple dragon but only one—now there were three.
This indicated that Lin Moyu's luck had reached a new level.
Su Fengze felt reassured that his choice was correct.
His eyes shone brightly as he used a secret technique to look above his own head.
In his vision floated a cloud visible only to him.
In his eyes it appeared white and extremely dense.
Within dense white clouds something seemed gestating or hatching.
Seeing this scene brought joy to Su Fengze's face: "My luck transformation into a dragon is finally coming."
"Indeed my decision was right—befriending Friend Lin has strengthened my luck at least double."
"Once my luck transforms into a dragon my bloodline will grow stronger—I will surely reach ninth-level Dao Venerable becoming direct lineage!"
Su Fengze clenched his fist full of joy on his face.
At this moment he was more determined than ever to befriend Lin Moyu—never becoming enemies with him.
...
Lin Moyu crossed tens of thousands of li arriving at task point marked by seal.
Descending from sky this task point still appeared empty.
Having prior experience he knew needed find way trigger task himself
There were many ways trigger tasks no fixed pattern
First using Undead Eye searched surroundings found nothing
Then meticulously scanned every inch leaving no detail unchecked
Moments later withdrew gaze
Every inch within hundred meters thoroughly examined found nothing
"Task triggering tests both luck attentiveness."
"I lack neither so if still can't find then only other possibility testing strength!"
"To trigger task should use strength!"
With thought arose acted immediately
Lin Moyu decisively unleashed all power explosively
In sky appeared giant delivering punch where stood
This came from Great World—a punch from Mighty Force Heavenly Venerable
Covering thousand meters radius attack power far exceeded Mighty Force Heavenly Venerable given current strength
In Great World likely shattering several galaxies with single punch
Here on Origin Continent effect wasn't so astonishing
Thousand-meter range turned ruins
Ground cracked blood-red radiance shot forth four secret realm vortices emerged surrounding east south west north corners while standing central position
Where stood appeared battle blade at feet
Blade embedded ground only hilt remained above ground instinctively grasped hilt first moment
Next moment new task triggered
[Protect this blade fend off battle beast attacks until blade returns or beasts annihilated then task complete.]
[If task fails suffer military punishment.]
This time task changed failure resulted punishment
Specific punishment unspecified but military punishment implied likely reduction rank
Simultaneously realized how accomplish task as hundred-man commander summon hundred Divine Rune soldiers assist battle
Rationally utilizing officer status most reasonable method
Task began surrounding secret realm vortices suddenly lit up immense power surged forth
Then heard beast roars four distinct battle beasts emerged simultaneously from vortices
These four battle beasts all fourth-level Dao Venerable!
