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

"Anti-Demonic Fist Technique?"

Ye Xiao's attention was completely drawn to this thing.

To know.

The next advancement of his Spellbreaker Fist is: Spellbreaker Fist!

Ye Xiao stared at this thing for a long time.

"It's the old man from the quartermaster department," he suddenly said.

"You want this?"

Ye Xiao nodded. "I see this says it can only be redeemed once. Does that mean everyone can redeem it once?"

The old man from the quartermaster department smiled.

"Of course not! The entire Red Cliff Fort Supply Department only has one copy of this thing."

"It's just that no one has redeemed it yet, so it's been hanging here. Once someone redeems it, it won't be hanging up there anymore."

Ye Xiao understood the meaning of "limited to one redemption".

He stared at the price tag of the item.

[Introduction to the Demon-Suppressing Fist Technique: 5 Military Merits]

It takes a full 5 military merits to redeem!

Ye Xiao swallowed hard and asked again.

"Can I buy it with money?"

The old man from the quartermaster's face suddenly turned extremely frosty.

"Kid, what do you take this place for? A vegetable market?"

"You think you can buy anything with money?"

"I only accept military merits here. If you don't have any, get out of here!"

Ye Xiao was stunned, as if he had said something he shouldn't have, hitting the old man in the quartermaster's sore spot.

Then he and Fatty Wang were immediately told to leave.

The two were slinked out of the quartermaster's office.

Seeing this, the soldier Xiao Ma outside smiled and went forward to comfort him.

"Don't be angry, and don't take it to heart. That's just how the old man is; his personality is often unpredictable."

Anyway, Ye Xiao and Fatty Wang didn't have any military merits.

There's no point in staying inside any longer.

And at this time.

The sky over Jiang City was already completely bright.

It was morning.

The once quiet Chiyabao Fortress gradually became lively.

Many people who came from all over Jiang City gathered at this place.

Soldier Xiao Ma explained, "The Crimson Abyss Rift will open soon."

"These people have all entered the Crimson Abyss before. Some of them have military affiliations, while others are just ordinary people."

"Of course, not just anyone can enter the Crimson Abyss; firstly, one's strength must be at least at the second realm."

"The Crimson Abyss is fraught with danger. Those with lower cultivation levels are not allowed to enter its depths and can only move around on the outer perimeter."

"Everyone is heading to the Crimson Abyss, partly to improve their combat power by fighting monsters, and partly to search for treasures within the Crimson Abyss. If they can bring back something that will make them rich overnight, it's not a dream."

"......"

While the soldier Xiao Ma was explaining.

Ye Xiao and Fatty Wang could see these people entering Red Cliff Fortress in single file.

They were all seasoned veterans, with a clear objective: to head towards the entrance of the Crimson Abyss Rift.

"Ye Xiao! Wang Hou! Come here."

Just then, Zhao's voice came from the direction of the command post.

Upon seeing this, soldier Xiao Ma said, "Captain Zhao is calling you. You'd better hurry over. I guess Captain Zhao has a mission for you."

The two nodded and quickly walked towards Zhao's direction.

Team Leader Zhao stood at the door and handed the two men a task sheet.

"This is your task for today!"

Ye Xiao looked down to check the mission details.

Team Leader Zhao said, "You two will follow the third patrol team and walk along the edge of the crevice. We don't expect you to kill any enemies, just familiarize yourselves with the terrain. After that, just follow the captain's orders and don't wander off."

Ye Xiao and Fatty Wang nodded in unison: "Understood."

Team Leader Zhao looked at Ye Xiao and remained silent for a moment.

"The Crimson Abyss is not a school. There are no rules here, only life and death. If you can't kill the monsters, the monsters will kill you."

"Your father stayed here for more than ten years and killed countless fire demons."

"He was once a legend here."

"If you don't want to embarrass him, come back alive."

Ye Xiao folded the task sheet and put it in his pocket.

He nodded seriously.

"I will come back alive."

......

Third Patrol Team Office.

Currently, the third patrol team has four members.

With the arrival of Ye Xiao and Wang Hou.

The team has expanded to six members.

Captain Wei, forty years old, is a veteran with the strength of the sixth realm. He has two parallel scars on his face, running from his left eyebrow to his right cheek, as if he had been scratched by something.

The vice-captain, Da Liu, was in his early thirties, possessed the strength of the sixth realm, and was as strong as an ox, carrying a giant sword imbued with spiritual energy.

Team member Aqing, 27 years old, at the fifth realm of strength, tall and thin, carries a spiritual energy rifle and is the team's sniper.

Team member Xiao Meng, 27 years old, with the strength of the fifth realm, came here at the same time as A Qing, but he looks very young, like a recent graduate, and is holding a standard spirit sword.

At this moment, Captain Wei looked Ye Xiao and Wang Hou up and down.

"Are you the new recruits that Captain Zhao assigned to you?"

Ye Xiao and Wang Hou nodded in unison.

Let me introduce myself.

"I am a vice-captain," said Liu calmly.

At this time.

Wang Hou was the first to introduce himself.

"Hello everyone, my name is Wang Hou, a freshman at Jiang City Martial Arts University. My profession is Qi Refiner, and my current cultivation level is the third realm!"

The other two team members, Aqing and Xiaomeng, seemed quite satisfied with Wang Hou's self-introduction.

When Wang Hou finished speaking, they all nodded in agreement.

Followed by.

Ye Xiao began his self-introduction.

"Ye Xiao is also a freshman at Jiang City Martial Arts University, and his profession is martial artist."

"My current level is..."

"The First Realm"

After Ye Xiao finished speaking.

Team member Aqing suddenly burst out laughing.

"A martial artist? And at the first level? That's rare."

"Given your level of cultivation, this shouldn't be a place for you, should it?"

The teammate next to him, Xiao Meng, spoke in a cold and incisive tone.

"A person with connections?"

The moment those three words were uttered, the atmosphere in the Third Patrol Team's office plummeted to freezing point.

Team leader Lao Wei is the oldest and is also adept at interpersonal relationships.

He then took the initiative to speak up and ease the tension.

"Ye Xiao, this is not some other place, and we don't mean to discriminate against any profession."

"There is no occupational discrimination, but there is discrimination based on one's level of understanding," Ye Xiao said.

At this moment, Aqing's expression also changed slightly.

He sneered and said disdainfully, "Old Wei, how did our Third Patrol Team become a garbage dump, where anyone can be dumped here? You need to talk to Captain Zhao and tell him to stop dumping all sorts of trash into our team."

"Why don't you go talk to Captain Zhao?" Captain Wei retorted directly, causing A Qing's expression to change drastically.

At this moment, Captain Wei looked at Ye Xiao.

A smile appeared on his face.

"Ye Xiao, it's like this, the patrol team's mission is quite dangerous. If your cultivation level is too low, we might not be able to protect you properly."

"Here's what we'll do: you can rest at the camp now. You can rest or cultivate if you want."

"As for the newcomer next to you, his strength at the third realm is barely enough for patrol duties. He can come with us."

Team leader Lao Wei has already put it very tactfully.

The core message is that they think Ye Xiao's strength is too poor.

This also raises suspicions as to whether Ye Xiao came here with a "connected" identity.
