South VS East! (2)

"Soldiers! Come and get your induction process before we let you roam inside of the battlefield." the Battalion Commander said before everyone gathered before him in a bigger room within the Flying Ark.

"First of all, Everyone here shall obtain your own Southern Yang Soldier Plate. Keep this plate as the second most important thing after your life because this treasure will be the only thing to verify what you did in the war."

The Battalion Commander's word makes everyone inspecting the piece of Soldier Plate in their hand. It was made from a similar product like the Mountain Ore, and this plate is issued by the Imperial Forces.

"Based on the points given by your results, the merits from what you did will determine your position within the Army. Higher ranks equal to better treatment and rewards, but of course, it wasn't that easy to get."

"Everyone here will be assigned into the 9th Rank Platoon Soldier. With a hundred Merit Points you will get a raise in ranks. Those that reach the 1st Rank Platoon Soldier is known as Platoon Commander, where you will restart again as a 9th Rank Platoon Commander again."

"There is a 9 ranking Hierarchy, so do your best to at least earn the position of a 7th Rank Captain before you post back to your sect. And you'll have to remember that the rank you obtained will remain until you either dead, demoted, or moved."

"As for the points, its based on how the Soldier Plate recognize them. All you need is to kill as much as you could." the Battalion Commander explained to them as much he could before he has to dispatch them into the battlefield.

"As long the Soldier Plate is in your hand, you will have no problem to recognize fellow soldiers and enemies. I'll see each of you in General Yang's Camp!"

"Get ready for deployments!" the Battalion Commander shouts.

At the bottom of their feet, a circle of Formation Array flashed and transferred them into the battlefield. When all of them opened their eyes, everywhere surrounding them is a battlefield!

Army spreads all over the places without a proper leader in command, but the color of yellow and red determined their status. Like their situation now, the density and reach of their Yellow colored pillar wider than the others.

"ATTACK!" one of the disciples from Third Heaven Mountain charged and left the yellow pillar formed by all of them. But before he managed to step outside further than ten steps, a total if fifty-five arrows turned him into a corpse similar to a porcupine.

"Disperse! Everyone is on their own!" another group of disciples from Third Heaven Mountain charged from their position and fought as they enter farther into the battlefield.

"We should do it too! Head Disciple, are you going to lead us?" one of them from Second Heaven Mountain asked.

"You should look for your own glory, not helping mine. Go ahead with your planning." Zhang Wu Ji replied the disciple and left the Yellow Pillar. He took the same approach like disciple that turned into a porcupine, but when the same attack happened, the results are different.

Zhang Wu Ji's Qingyang Fortress Body is impenetrable by their worthless arrows! The moment he catches wind of their exact location, Zhang Wu Ji took his Baton Glaive out and attack with speed like flying arrows.

"Aargh! No!" shrieks can be heard from where he headed.

The moment this war begins, every great potential candidate charged into the battlefield to create a name on their own. With the battlefield is filled with 9th Rank Platoon Soldiers trying to make their name, this is the best battlefield for one to ascend from a snake into a dragon!

Furthermore, this is robbing and slaughtering Festival! With the dead having no more use on the treasures, the fate is only either left in the battlefield to rot, or taken by another person to use.

"Six points." Zhang Wu Ji looked at his Soldier Plate before continue to move forward. The six kills of cultivator close to his own strength are worth one point each.

And from the treasure he robbed, it was only a few pouches of lousy treasures like Basic Blood Nourishing Pill and some Qi Accumulating Pills.

By following the guidance from the hint of red light, Zhang Wu Ji turned into a hunter and slaughter the soldiers from the Eastern Imperial Kingdom. But no matter how smooth is his path, one is fated to face a worthy opponent on the battlefield.

"Senior Zhang An Yang. There's a strong fighter in front of us." his fellow disciples behind him reported.

"Hmm... Let's hunt him." the one name Zhang An Yang redirected his direction slightly right from where he's heading and approach their target. By looking at the pillar of red light, they can easily chase their target!

"Somebody is coming closer at the right side." Zhang Wu Ji stared at the four approaching red pillars and prepared himself for a good fight.

"Dogs from General Yang's troops! Go die!" two long spear users charged at both left and right when Zhang Wu Ji approach them, but with a swing of his Baton Glaive, Zhang Wu Ji throws his opponent back to where they came.

"Strong! I like that!" Zhang An Yang charged at Zhang Wu Ji with his great hammer. By borrowing the advantages from above, Zhang An Yang swings his great hammer downwards.

"Nine Meter Travelling Fist!" a single punch, a hundred fists. Attacked charged from all over the place to defend against his attack, but failed to force Zhang An Yang to retreat.

"Mountain Beast Mortal Body!" by activating his Martial Body's ability, Zhang An Yang's strength increased by two times stronger. With the Great Hammer's weight no longer bothers him, the attack of a hammer become terribly concentrated.

"Is this the power from the younger generation of the East Imperial Kingdom?" Zhang Wu Ji was surprised. A mere 17th Stage Inner Qi Warrior can perform this well under the threat and situation on this battlefield.

"Natural Springs!" Zhang Wu Ji retreated with two drops of liquid thrown at the same speed. The moment it touches each another, an explosion happened and separates them from the deadlock.

Zhang Wu Ji let go his Baton Glaive, and with quick speed, he sent four Silver Flying Stakes at his four opponent, with Zhang An Yang as his last target.

When Zhang An Yang looks at the attack aiming at him, he was enraged. In his mind, this is a form of disrespect!

"Gravity Tempering Hammer!" he executed a strong attack that hardly anyone in his generation can face without an injury.

"I'm sorry." Zhang Wu Ji delivered his bare fist on his opponent's hammer and sent his weapon into the path of destruction. His hammer's flat surface first received a dent on it before an internal crack destroyed the hammer.

"My weap..." four head left their bodies when it was cut by a swing from a glaive, but thick like a baton. The attack negates all the resistance from them with their death.

"Hmm? Not bad at all..." Zhang Wu Ji felt a hint of laugh when he looks at the word [114 Points] on his Soldier Plate. With the newfound motivation to go further, Zhang Wu Ji smiled and took a view surrounding him.

The light on his own pillar grows further, reaching the limit close to them when they're group together. If his hypothesis is right on its point, the size and density of the light pillar are determine based on the number of points in his hand.

But unfortunately, his current status also means that there will be no points for him to hunt for those cannon fodders.

"Its a hunt of bottom rankers to the top... We shall have a pretty good game." Zhang Wu Ji laughed and selected another direction to charge forward.

His next target is not far from where he was. Based on the size of his light, this is a good target.

"Senior brother, there's a light from the enemy coming from our left. It seems like the strength of this enemy is quite strong." his junior reported. And because this leader is calmer than the previous Zhang An Yang, he chose to retreat instead of charging forward.

"Oh? This group chooses to retreat instead of charging at me... They must have some top-ranked fighters in the team." Zhang Wu Ji noticed that their retreat is neither hurry or slow, just enough to keep him hooked.

"I'll guess we're going to have a proper cat and mouse chase then..." Zhang Wu Ji sped up a little, but maintain a distance to see what they're trying to do.

Meanwhile, in the 1st zone of the Platoons Battlefield.

"The Royal Family of Zhang will not forgive you! My brother will get the revenge for me!" a cultivator cursed as he breathes his last.

"Senior brother, are we going to keep hunting?"

"Yes. I want to become a Platoon Commander in one push. Everyone, please help me, I will not mistreat all of you in any way." the leader of this team replied his junior and senior brother with a respectful tone.

"Fellow Brothers, I'm sure everyone knows that following brother Chen Ming will give us the best results. So let all of us support him." a disciple mentioned his name.

It was Chen Ming, the one that promised to become his subordinate and comes from the Black City Armored Forces.

At the same time, Zone 2 of Platoon Battlefield.

"Help me!"

"NO!"

The soldiers were slaughtered easily like livestock. As for the cause, it is due to a deadly whip weapon that comes from the Ice Legacy Inheritance Realm.

"Senior Brother Yin Yuan, we lured another group here." a disciple reported.

"Good... Hehehe..." Yelu Yin Yuan smiled.

Similar to Zhang Wu Ji, each sector has a top contender that's fighting hard for the sake of getting a proper recognition within the Military.

"He entered the trap! Launch an attack in all direction!" the senior that chosen to retreat earlier shouts. Under his command, five teams attacked and charged into where Zhang Wu Ji located.

In the gap of five minutes, over forty cultivators appeared before Zhang Wu Ji from all direction and ready to attack, but Zhang Wu Ji's Nine Meter Traveling Fist is capable of controlling the situation.

Occasionally, Zhang Wu Ji will fire a few Flying Silver Stakes to defeat his opponents. But those are only for backup if the enemy is too close to his position.

When the attack turned into a stalemate, the opponent begins to become restless and attack with a ranged weapon.

"XIU!" a ballista fired its bolt at Zhang Wu Ji. As it was made from High-Grade Fool Silver, the attack can be said as deadly.

"Pong." But when the bold made its contact with Zhang Wu Ji, it was rebounded.

"Such a strong defense!" those from Eastern Imperial Kingdom exclaimed. Unfortunately, Zhang Wu Ji preparation completed before they attacked. With a swing full of water, Zhang Wu Ji spreads them to the designated location and ignites all the Natural Springs surrounding him.

"BOBOBOOM!!!" a chain reaction of explosives sent the opponents into disarray. Casualties are unaccounted, but from the number of points keep increasing on his Soldier Plate, Zhang Wu Ji knows that he did not enter their trap, but they do!

"I promise that my surname is not Zhang if I cannot kill you!" the strength of 18th Stage Inner Qi Warrior came forward and fully ignited to kill the enemies.

"Hehehe, come ahead and try!" Zhang Wu Ji replied to his taunts. With his own weapon in hand, Zhang Wu Ji swung his Baton Glaive at his opponent with the intention to kill!

"This is a battlefield, You kill or be killed!"

"And I, Zhang Wu Ji, will not be the one you kill!" the situation in the battlefield ignited his power. And because a bloodline strength can be only activated in extreme condition, Zhang Wu Ji's bloodline started to boil along with its owner!

At the same time, a piece of Golden Nameplate with an engraved word of "Zhang" flashed without notice, surprising the higher-ups in this South VS East battle!

[Author's Note]

I hope to clarify one matter. Let's say... They're Zhangs, but at the same time, they're not. The surname is born with, the bloodline is different. Let's assume that its a kingdom filled with harems and everyone either related or not related.
