#80 - Xu Ming, you have been transferred to the palace

Half a month after the battle at Mount Shu.

After careful recuperation, Xu Ming had basically recovered. The bandages were removed, and he felt much more refreshed.

Otherwise, Xu Ming would have had difficulty going to the bathroom these past few days, having to tear off the bandages.

After the battle with Shen Sheng, in addition to gaining 500 points of Qi Strength, 500 points of Blood Qi, and 500 points of Fist Force, Xu Ming received an outrageous reward: the Dao Pattern Eye.

[Dao Pattern Eye: Inscribe the patterns of the Great Dao into your eyes. When activated, you can copy the opponent's spells (the complexity of the copied spell depends on your comprehension and realm). You can clearly see the flow of the opponent's spiritual power and martial artist's true Qi, providing a 360° all-around view. You can slow down and analyze the enemy's movements.

The Dao Pattern Eye can be evolved.

After evolution, the Dao Pattern Eye can develop different functions and special spells.]

Looking at this Dao Pattern Eye, for some reason, Xu Ming thought of the Sharingan.

Could it be that after evolving, he could also summon a Susanoo? Or perhaps cast a few Amaterasu spells for fun?

He had to admit, Xu Ming was really looking forward to it.

Xu Ming tried to activate the Dao Pattern Eye.

When the Dao Pattern Eye was activated, a rune that was difficult to describe appeared in Xu Ming's eyes. It was as if the Heavenly Dao had casually sketched it with a pen, yet it revealed a harmonious beauty with nature.

The Dao Pattern Eye could only last for a maximum of three minutes.

After three minutes, Xu Ming was covered in sweat, his spiritual power completely exhausted. He couldn't even open his eyes for a full five minutes, and tears streamed down his face.

Xu Ming felt that if he wanted to increase the duration of the Dao Pattern Eye, he had to improve his Qi Refinement realm and Martial Artist realm.

Improving the Qi Refinement realm would naturally increase the quality and quantity of spiritual power.

Improving the Martial Artist realm would also increase the strength of his eyes along with his physical fitness.

It was rumored that upon reaching the Sea Gazing realm, the quantity of a Qi Refiner's spiritual power would undergo a qualitative change.

If a Martial Artist reached the Golden Body realm, the eyeballs of a Golden Body realm Martial Artist would be as hard as diamonds.

At that time, the Dao Pattern Eye should be able to last for an hour.

Speaking of which, what would happen if a woman reached the Vajra realm? Would her whole body be unbelievably hard?

Xu Ming couldn't help but glance at Wu Yanhan.

"What are you doing?"

Wu Yanhan felt that Xu Ming's gaze was asking for a beating.

"Nothing." Xu Ming turned his head away. He had just recovered and didn't want to fight with Wu Yanhan.

Three days later, since Xu Ming had almost recovered, the group was just about ready to return to the Blood Floating Pagoda to report back.

However, this time, Guang Yin brought back a little girl.

This little girl's name was Hu Tao, a very memorable and pleasant name.

Although Guang Yin adopted an eleven-year-old girl at the age of fourteen, Xu Ming and the others had no objections.

Hu Tao had a clean background and could completely join the Blood Floating Pagoda's cafeteria, becoming an assistant to the cafeteria auntie.

If that didn't work, Guang Yin could also buy a courtyard in the Southern City near the First Army Barracks. Anyway, Guang Yin's salary was high, so he could just send money to Hu Tao, and she could live on her own.

Moreover, the door of a Blood Floating Pagoda family member could have a Blood Floating Pagoda plaque posted, so ordinary people wouldn't dare to mess around, let alone in the imperial capital, under the Son of Heaven.

So as long as Hu Tao didn't starve to death, living alone would definitely be very safe.

Because the group had to run back and Hu Tao walked very slowly, Xu Ming and the five took turns carrying Hu Tao towards Wudu.

Hu Tao had never ridden a horse, but she felt that these big brothers ran faster than horses.

After returning to Wudu, the five entered the First Army Barracks to report back.

Xu Ming and the five each received five merit points.

Merit points were the "universal currency" of the Wu Kingdom's army. You could use them to exchange for silver, spirit stones, pills, weapons, and even noble titles.

Even if you left the Blood Floating Pagoda, you could still use merit points.

However, merit points could not be transferred.

Seeing Xu Ming and the five return, Wang Meng was very happy. Wang Meng had heard about the events in Xinping County. That none of these five kids died was simply a miracle!

Xiong Hai Zhi, Li Han, and Guang Yin felt that they owed it all to Xu Ming that they were able to return alive.

If Xu Ming hadn't killed Shen Sheng, and that zombie hadn't inexplicably run away, the three of them would have already had their essence sucked dry.

Xiong Hai Zhi and the three asked Xu Ming what he needed. They wanted to use these five merit points to exchange things for Xu Ming.

But Xu Ming refused.

In that kind of situation, everyone shared life and death together. What was so-called "favor"?

Xu Ming believed that if he were in danger, they would also stand up for him.

It was like the camaraderie of soldiers on Blue Star in his previous life.

However, Guang Yin was scolded by Wang Meng, who asked him if he was so horny that he brought back an eleven-year-old girl. Did he want to raise a child bride?

Guang Yin was scolded into silence.

In the end, Guang Yin used two of his merit points to exchange for a job for Hu Tao. Hu Tao could go to the cafeteria and fry rice with the auntie, becoming a little cook.

Hu Tao quickly took office.

Then the cafeteria where Hu Tao was located was always overcrowded.

This was not because Hu Tao was so good-looking.

It could only be said that Hu Tao was slightly above average among ordinary people.

However, in the army, females were the darlings of the group. Before it was the auntie, now it was a little girl. Who wouldn't like it?

Xu Ming and the five quickly returned to normal training.

Although Xu Ming and the five had a mission every two months, compared to the first time, it was simply ridiculously easy.

Even Xiong Hai Zhi and the others were somewhat dazed.

Because every time they went on a mission, Xu Ming would instantly kill with one punch, or Wu Yanhan would instantly kill with one kick.

Even Guang Yin, whom they looked down on the most, displayed strength that exceeded theirs by a lot!

If they encountered a third-order demon beast, Xiong Hai Zhi and the others could defeat it, but they would have to entangle with it for a quarter of an hour, and they would be evenly matched.

But Guang Yin could have the advantage from beginning to end, and he could kill the third-order demon beast in half a quarter of an hour.

And how should I put it?

Compared to Xu Ming and Wu Yanhan's overbearing and unreasonable fist techniques.

Guang Yin's fist techniques were very stable! Stable and calm.

At this time, they were sure that Guang Yin's passing the assessment was really not because he sold his butt to the examiner, but because this kid was really a genius!

It was just that he had always been too timid!

Two years passed.

It was also the third year that Xu Ming came to the Blood Floating Pagoda. The thirteen-year-old Xu Ming and the sixteen-year-old Wu Yanhan simultaneously broke through and entered the Heroic Soul realm.

This was a very happy thing.

But it was also on this day that Wang Meng walked in and told everyone something:

"Xu Ming, you have been transferred to the palace, specifically under the command of His Majesty. Report there in three days!"

[Today, three chapters will be updated to complete the chapter owed yesterday.]
