Chapter 1968: Chapter 13: The Strong

The powerful combat capability unleashed by the Ancient Starship stunned everyone, it was completely a one-sided battle.

An ancient ship single-handedly challenged a fleet and shattered it, leaving them with almost no ability to fight back.

It’s simply unbelievable that this is real.

Bang bang bang…

Crack crack…

The sounds of collisions and the dismemberment of battleships echoed continuously.

The Xuanyuan Ancient Starship destroyed one battleship after another in the most violent way.

“Island Master! Our losses are too heavy, we must retreat quickly! Otherwise, all the battleships might be destroyed!”

An elder from Fire Scorpion Island hurriedly reported.

The face of Red Chain Fire Scorpion looked extremely grim, he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

Yet, the events unfolding before him were indeed real; the enormous fleet he had assembled was now close to destruction.

“Retreat…”

Red Chain Fire Scorpion roared in fury.

Woo woo woo…

Horn sounds echoed to the heavens.

Battleships fled toward the distance.

“They need to retreat!”

Many spies were moved; such a massive fleet was defeated utterly by a single ancient ship from Dragon Gate Island.

A shock to everyone.

In the Ancient Wilderness Sea Domain, Red Chain Fire Scorpion was considered a powerful figure.

When had he ever suffered such a loss?

But never imagined.

Today, he faced a monumental loss.

But all of this.

Is irreversible.

…

The Xuanyuan Ancient Starship chased after them, destroying seven or eight more battleships before returning.

Out of fifty battleships from Fire Scorpion Island, only twenty-three managed to escape back.

The remaining battleships were all destroyed.

…

The result of this battle quickly spread across the Ancient Wilderness Sea Domain.

Many high-ranking members of the Great Forces were shocked upon receiving this news.

Originally, these forces thought Dragon Gate Island would be destroyed by Fire Scorpion Island.

But never expected this outcome.

Now, Fire Scorpion Island suffered heavy losses, and evidently, it will need to recuperate for a while.

Whereas Dragon Gate Island has become lively.

Many Overseas Independent Cultivators have come to defect.

What’s not lacking in the overseas world is masters.

What’s lacking is forces that can shelter these Overseas Independent Cultivators; many see Dragon Gate Island as powerful.

Plus, Dragon Gate Island was only recently established.

This is precisely the time for recruitment and expansion.

Joining Dragon Gate Island now is evidently the best opportunity.

Cultivators who join earlier have benefits that cannot be matched by those who join later.

Of course, Dragon Gate Island doesn’t accept just any cultivator.

Lin Feng’s standard is to recruit true elites.

Many forces have tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of people.

While the numbers are large.

In reality.

The elite troops only account for a small portion.

Lin Feng plans to invest various resources into a small group of true elite masters.

This way, it will be possible to cultivate this group into a cohesive unit, an elite army that follows orders and fights in an orderly manner.

Therefore.

The first standard for recruiting cultivators to Dragon Gate Island is; none below True God Realm will be accepted!

This rule effectively bars ninety percent of cultivators.

Because in the overseas world, cultivators at the True God Realm are considered experts.

Such cultivators receive good treatment anywhere they join.

So in the next half-month, Dragon Gate Island recruited only about a thousand cultivators.

Among these thousand, Lin Feng selected two hundred top figures, allocating them to Butterfly, joining Butterfly’s “Purgatory Killer Organization”.

The treatment in Butterfly’s Purgatory Killer Organization is the best.

Everyone receives three Heavenly God Level Divine Artifacts.

And twenty-thousand Source Crystal Stones and a thousand Demon Transformation Immortal Pills monthly.

Thus making rapid progress in cultivation.

…

The rest joined the Dragon Sect Army.

The standard equipment for the Dragon Sect Army includes three Heavenly God Weapons.

Every month, they receive fifteen thousand Source Crystal Stones and eight hundred Demon Transformation Immortal Pills.

In fact, every month, they can’t use all these tens of thousands of Source Crystal Stones.

As for the Demon Transformation Immortal Pills, a high-level elixir.

Across Jiuzhou, only Lin Feng knows how to craft them.

So they are extremely precious.

Those joining Dragon Gate also cultivate with the precious Demon Transformation Immortal Pills rather than Source Crystal Stones.

Cultivating with Demon Transformation Immortal Pills is ten times more effective than with Source Crystal Stones.

Lin Feng also prepared seventy-two types of Great Arrays for the Dragon Sect Army to train in.

Army battles often require forming arrays, because formations can enhance combat effectiveness.

So the Dragon Sect Army must practice with arrays to unleash the most powerful combat capability.

On this day, Wanyan Yang came to see Lin Feng, saying, “Master, it’s been more than half a month, and we’ve only recruited a thousand cultivators. Isn’t that too few? Should we possibly lower the standards? If we do so, we could quickly form an army. Currently, our Dragon Sect Army lacks sufficient numbers!”

Lin Feng said, “I need a truly elite force! Therefore, the demands cannot be lowered! Currently recruiting experts is difficult because Dragon Gate was established only recently, and its reputation hasn’t truly spread. Once the name of Dragon Gate spreads far and wide, experts will arrive in droves.”

“Understood! I will continue training the army!”

Wanyan Yang responded and then left.

Another half-month passed, during which Dragon Gate recruited only over four hundred people, fewer than the previous half-month.

Lin Feng couldn’t help but slightly frown.

His minimum goal is to establish an elite army of around ten thousand people.

But evidently, he is still far from meeting this minimum goal.

Of course, Lin Feng understands that impatience won’t help, he needs to wait for the right moment.

That day, in the distant sky, flames churned, and amidst the flames stood a tall and burly man like a Flame War God.

The man flew swiftly like lightning toward Dragon Gate Island.

Two hours later, the man saw the location of Dragon Gate Island.

“Hahaha, Dragon Gate Island is here!”

The man descended from the heavens, eventually landing outside the Dragon Gate.

“Dragon Sect Master! Where are you? Come out quickly…”

The man suddenly shouted loudly.

“Who are you to be so brazen?” A group of Island Protector Cultivators flew over and coldly queried.

“Tell your Sect Leader to come meet me!” The man’s voice boomed like thunder.

“State your name! We will report for you!” The small team leader of the Island Protector Cultivators said.

“Is such shrimp like you worthy of knowing my name? Very well, I will personally go to see him!”

The man stepped forward, heading into the island’s interior.

“Are you here deliberately looking for trouble? Everyone, drive him out!”

The small team leader of Island Protector Cultivators commanded loudly, rushing toward the man.

More than twenty other Island Protector Cultivators also followed suit, charging at the man.

The man sneered contemptuously, stepping forward, releasing a terrifying aura from within his body.

No one could withstand the aura emanating from his body.

Everyone felt as if they were bearing the weight of an Ancient Divine Mountain, their legs buckling.

Thump thump!

In the next moment, they all knelt on the ground, unable to move.
