High Martial Arts: First day of dropping out of school, reward: Devouring the Emperor's Body

This is actually a C-level combat technique. With Li Mo's aunt's salary, it would probably take her at least fifty years to buy one.

Moreover, it's the kind that's priced but unavailable.

Li Mo has only chosen one weapon and yet he has already unlocked this combat skill.

Of course, this is also because the spear weapon is extremely compatible with his fire-type talent; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have such a benefit.

"It seems you and the spear are a good match! That's good!"

Zheng Jiahao stepped forward and continued, "Li Mo, I'm afraid we can compete for the recruit assessment tomorrow."

Zheng Jiahao's attitude was completely different from his previous idle demeanor at school.

It seems he genuinely enjoys fighting on the front lines, or rather, he enjoys the thrill of teetering between life and death.

Li Mo had seen this kind of person before, especially in today's world. True strongmen, besides having great talent, need to have gone through countless battles and accumulated practical experience.

Despite Zheng Jiahao's mere D-level talent, Li Mo believed that even based solely on his basic attributes and physical skills, the top students at Starry Sky University might not be his match.

A talent like danger perception is useless on its own, but when combined with anything else, it becomes a game-changer!

Li Mo nodded, and seeing that it was getting late, he prepared to go back to his dormitory to rest.

Originally, the dormitory in this military camp was supposed to be for three people to live in one room, but Li Mo had another roommate who hadn't arrived yet, so the two of them stayed there for one night.

……

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Li Mo heard a series of urgent whistles. Li Mo had practiced all day the day before and was still exhausted, but he was also awakened by the whistle.

I checked the clock and it was still 5 a.m.!

"The rules in this military camp seem to be much stricter than those in university," Li Mo said with a wry smile.

I have to get up at five in the morning and be fully dressed and ready to go within ten minutes.

There was nothing he could do; Li Mo was still a new recruit, so he could only quickly get dressed according to the rules and then assemble at the drill ground.

Before long, about two hundred new recruits dressed in green military uniforms gathered together.

These are all the new people who have joined the camp in the past few days.

In front of these new recruits were the examiners who conducted the enlistment assessment.

Besides Zhang Ruxue, there was also a woman and a man.

These three men looked to be around the same age, at most twenty-four or twenty-five, and should all be the backbone of the younger generation in the military.

Because their ranks were not low, Zhang Ruxue was a second lieutenant, and the other two were only one rank lower than her, namely sergeant major.

As for why there are so many women in the army, that's thanks to Marshal Chen Han, the figure depicted in the statue.

During Marshal Chen Han's tenure as commander of the army, he advocated that both men and women could join the army to defend their country, which led to a large number of women with high talents joining the army.

Although the overall strength of martial arts practitioners was still stronger than that of women, these women who joined the army did indeed play a role in protecting their homeland.

Even among the two hundred or so new recruits that Li Mo is currently in, there are about one-tenth who are women.

While most of the new recruits were still dazed, Zhang Ruxue and her two examiners were already full of energy.

"Lieutenant Zhang, it seems this batch of recruits is quite good. Two hundred and twenty-one people, and not a single one is late," the man next to Zhang Ruxue said jokingly.

Generally speaking, new recruits who have just entered the military camp will always encounter all sorts of situations. For example, when it comes to early morning assembly, it's considered good if half of them are not late most of the time.

This time, however, not only was no one late, but the outfits and formations were also basically in perfect order, which was an extremely rare occurrence.

Zhang Ruxue smiled enigmatically, knowing full well that among these two hundred-plus people were outstanding individuals like Li Mo, who was at the seventh rank of the Hidden Edge Realm.

"Guan Ji, don't worry, there's a surprise for you later."

Upon hearing this, the woman next to him chimed in, "Oh! Lieutenant Zhang, it seems you've found a promising recruit."

Zhang Ruxue smiled. She was at the seventh level of the Hidden Edge Realm, a level that many new recruits who had been in the army for two years might not be able to reach!

This can no longer be called a promising talent; he's absolutely outstanding!

After the three finished their conversation, the woman next to Zhang Ruxue stood up.

"Everyone, I am Su Xiaoxiao. If all goes well, I will be your head instructor for the next three months of recruit training. Without further ado, I hereby declare the recruit assessment officially open!"

After he finished speaking, several instructors carried up some real robots.

The part of the new recruits' assessment is to fight against these robots.

This type of robot is called a liquid alloy bionic robot.

Unlike AI robots, it has a physical form!

Training with AI robots will only result in a string of data on a computer screen.

However, fighting against a bionic robot could result in serious injury or even death.

The android has the same combat data as a regular martial artist, and only has mechanical combat thinking, never considering holding back or going easy on anyone.

In terms of basic attributes, they are equivalent to martial artists of the same level.

Of course, these robots also have their drawbacks. They are mechanical in nature and lack the ever-changing situations of real combat. If handled properly, they are slightly weaker than martial artists of the same level, but the difference is not significant.

The recruits' assessment scores are determined by the cultivation level set by the robot.

Only by defeating a fourth-grade Hidden Edge Realm bionic robot can one obtain the recruit medal and officially enlist; otherwise, they will be assigned to a sinecure.

Similarly, the higher the level of the bionic robot you defeat, the better your score will be.

The difficulty of this recruit assessment is considerable. The fourth rank of the Hidden Edge Realm is actually the level of most ordinary students in martial arts universities.

Of those who have the qualifications to enter the martial arts academy, how many would actually be willing to join the military?

Li Mo deduced that the front lines must be under considerable pressure, otherwise the military wouldn't have adopted this merit-based recruitment system.

At this point, Su Xiaoxiao began to announce the rewards for this enlistment assessment test.

The person who achieves the highest score will be awarded thirty bottles of specially made military-grade blood-nourishing medicine.

These words caused an uproar in the room!

Even Li Mo was startled.

Let alone thirty bottles of Qi and Blood potion, even just one bottle of Qi and Blood potion would be worth fighting tooth and nail for.

If Li Mo remembered correctly, the annual scholarship at Starry Sky University was only equivalent to three bottles of Qi and Blood Potions.

Almost simultaneously, all two hundred or so people present revealed greedy expressions.

"Thirty bottles of Qi and Blood Potions—the military is really going all out!"

"The military used to be so stingy, what's going on? Such a big reward for a new recruit's assessment!"

"I heard that our country recently fought a major battle with the White Gull Empire, and we lost many veterans. The military leadership urgently needs fresh blood! Otherwise, where would we get such a reward!"

"Besides that reason, another one is that we obtained a lot of good stuff from the White Gull Empire during this great war, which significantly increased our military budget. In short, we all need to step up our game! Thirty bottles of Qi and Blood Potions, who wouldn't want them?"
