The weakest martial artist? One punch and he's leveled up a whole realm!

After leaving the command post.

After Ye Xiao's number, a new name was added.

Red Cliff-0037

Ye Zhenghe and Ye Xiao.

Fatty Wang, standing to the side, was also playing with the numbered tag in his hand with great interest.

Ye Xiao asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Fatty, you don't seem surprised or resistant to any of this?"

Fatty Wang asked with a smile, "Resist what?"

"One of my childhood dreams was to join the army. If it weren't for you, I might not have the chance to be here now."

"Because of me?" Ye Xiao looked puzzled. "What does this have to do with me?"

Fatty Wang gave a mysterious smile.

"Brother Xiao, there are some things that involve my family's secrets, and I'm sorry I can't tell you."

Ye Xiao nodded in understanding and didn't ask any further questions.

And just then...

A young soldier led Ye Xiao and Fatty Wang around the camp.

The soldier was called Xiao Ma. He was in his early twenties, had a round face, loved to laugh, and was very talkative.

He walked and introduced things as he went, like a tour guide.

"That's the cafeteria over there. The food is free, and you can eat as much as you want three times a day. The food isn't very good, but it's enough to keep you alive."

"That's the dormitory over there, eight-person rooms with bunk beds. You can find a bed to stay in after you come back from Chiyuan. The beds here are flexible; basically, everyone rests for one night and then leaves. The beds are washed and dried every day, so you don't have to worry about hygiene."

"That's an ammunition depot, don't go in there. There are spirit grenades and rune mines inside, which are all controlled items. If you want to take these controlled items, you'll have to write an application report in advance, and the process is quite lengthy. Most people wouldn't do that."

"That's the medical room over there. There's a military doctor there, surnamed Liu. She has a bad temper, but her medical skills are decent. If you get injured, go see her. Don't try to tough it out. However, many people would rather be injured than go to her because she's a woman. Men, you know, don't want to show their vulnerable side to women."

Finally, they stopped in front of a tin shack on the north side of the camp.

There was a sign hanging on the door.

"Quarterly Department".

"This is it. You can exchange some controlled items here. It'll probably be a place you'll frequent in the future." Xiao Ma pushed open the door. "Go in and take a look. I'll wait outside."

Ye Xiao and Fatty Wang went inside.

The quartermaster department was small, more like a general store.

The three walls were lined with shelves, which held all sorts of things.

Elixirs, weapons, armor, tools, materials, and books.

In the center of the room was a long table with a spiritual terminal on it. The screen was lit up, displaying lines of text.

An old man was sitting behind a table, wearing reading glasses, and dozing off.

"Hello," Ye Xiao greeted.

The old man didn't react.

"Hello!!!" Fatty Wang raised his voice.

The old man suddenly looked up, his reading glasses almost falling off.

He rubbed his eyes and looked at the two of them.

"New here?"

"Um."

"Look at the military merit exchange table?" The old man pointed to the spiritual energy terminal on the table. "Look for yourself, and ask me if you don't understand anything."

Ye Xiao and Fatty Wang walked to the terminal, where a long list was displayed on the screen.

The first thing you see is the [Military Merit System], and the first item on the list is about the "Rules for Obtaining Military Merit".

The most common form of military merit is killing someone.

For example, killing a Flame Demon larva will earn you 10 military merits.

Killing the Flame Demon Warrior grants 100 military merit points.

Kill the Flame Demon Lord to gain 1000 military merits.

Defeating the Flame Demon King can earn you up to 10000 military merits!

But after Ye Xiao read the rules for obtaining military merits...

He clearly sensed it.

The military merit awarded for killing the Flame Demon King is unreasonable.

After all, the Flame Demon King's realm starts at the tenth level.

Is the ability to kill it equivalent to the level of 10 Balrog Lords?

That's obviously not appropriate.

The old man seemed to notice Ye Xiao's gaze.

He suddenly laughed: "Young man, you have great ambitions; your goal is the Fire Demon King?"

"To date, no one has brought me the spoils of the Fire Demon King's war."

Upon hearing what the old man from the quartermaster department said, Ye Xiao immediately understood.

It's not because the military merit system of the Fire Demon King is unreasonable.

Rather, it's because no one killed the Flame Demon King.

Naturally, it doesn't matter how many military merits the Flame Demon King has.

After reading the information on how to obtain military merits.

Ye Xiao continued reading, wondering what items could be exchanged for military-grade items?

Fatty Wang was also watching from the side.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he exclaimed with delight, "Brother Xiao, military merits can be exchanged for Spirit Gathering Pills! This will be a huge help to my Qi cultivation! However, one Spirit Gathering Pill costs 100 military merits!"

Ye Xiao nodded: "This means you need to kill at least one Flame Demon Warrior to get a Spirit Nourishing Pill."

Fatty Wang was very curious: "About what level of strength does the Flame Demon Warrior possess?"

Ye Xiao had actually researched this beforehand.

After all, the extra lessons you take in the library aren't for nothing.

He replied, "The Fourth Realm!"

Upon hearing "the fourth realm," Fatty Wang's expression changed slightly with surprise, and then he gasped.

"I'm only at the third realm. My strength isn't enough to kill the Flame Demon Warrior, is it?"

"However, I should be able to kill the Flame Demon larvae. Killing 10 of them will also earn me a Spirit Nourishing Pill."

Ye Xiao nodded, while at the same time he was looking at the exchange items related to "body refinement".

For example, Body Tempering Pills!

One of these items costs 100 military merits.

The effect is that after taking it, the physical body is slightly strengthened.

Ye Xiao was quite interested in this.

Look down again.

There are also Qi and Blood Pills, Strength Pills, Gale Pills, Berserk Pills, and a whole host of other pills related to the body.

Besides.

There's also information about the equipment.

For example, the [Military Spiritual Power Dagger] is roughly equivalent to the damage of the third realm.

For example, there's the three-piece set: fire-resistant wristbands, fire-resistant vest, and fire-resistant combat boots.

If worn simultaneously, it can greatly increase resistance to fire.

Ye Xiao continued reading.

There are many more functional pills, special items, and even cultivation techniques.

It was an incredibly diverse and dazzling array of items, leaving one overwhelmed with choices.

"Brother Xiao, the Crimson Abyss map looks pretty good!"

"Brother Xiao, we might need a spirit communication device to communicate within the Crimson Abyss environment. This is very important."

"Brother Xiao, there are even classes here! Veteran instructors, one-on-one combat skills training, and they can even teach us how to survive in the Crimson Abyss!"

"Brother Xiao..."

Fatty Wang next to him kept talking, full of curiosity and interest in everything.

He wanted everything he saw, but unfortunately he was short of money and couldn't contribute any military merits.

At this moment, Ye Xiao's gaze fell on the interface of the same cultivation technique.

It was clearly written above:

"An Introduction to the Cultivation of the Forbidden Demon Fist Technique!"
