"Haha! We survived."
"We have made it into the East Army."
"That was one scary fellow with his blade. Luckily, he was engaged in a fight with Wu He from Northern True Ocean. If not, we would have been in deep trouble."
The warriors and beasts who had managed to survive were all highly excitable, with only a handful mourning the deaths of their fellow companions who had been annihilated. Since youth, they had witnessed the annihilation of scores of companions, so this was nothing new.
There was a legend that the whole World of Jin knew: Annihilation was the manifestation of reincarnation. The living souls of the World of Jin knew this by heart, so they would silently send their partners off with blessings and not be overly upset. After all, anyone on the path of great beings was destined for a high probability of annihilation! Just to enter the army, two-thirds would have lost their lives. What might happen thereafter was not a difficult guess.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
"Let's go quickly."
In the desolated desert space, a huge, arched door appeared out of nowhere. From it, three true gods, all shouting at the top of their voices, walked out. The surviving warriors and beasts walked over obediently and immediately; after all, they were about to undergo the next round of selection.
"The two of you," said one of the true god warriors. He was clothed in dark red armor with a large tail and gazed at Luo Feng and his unusual beast companion with the single, red eye on his head. "Follow me. I will bring both of you to Python River Army."
"All right," Luo Feng replied.
The unusual beast, which was badly battered, also replied, "All right."
The two followed this true god, who was the first to head outside via the arched door.
"Milky Way, good luck!" Northern Wind shouted.
Luo Feng also turned his head to shout, "Good luck!"
Just like that, the two parted ways. Within the army, it was not up to their will to do as they pleased. Northern Wind's ability was still far from the expectations of Python River Army. He might have been considered an elite, but he was not considered to be a true genius, so he would not be accepted into the army at the beginning. If he could demonstrate outstanding performance in the period that followed, there was a chance he could still be accepted into the special troop.
The only problem was that by then, it might no longer be the Python River Army but some other special army troop.

Luo Feng and the beast followed behind the single-eyed true god to fly within the vast army camp. They flew at the speed of light.
"All of space is completely sealed." Luo Feng muttered under his breath. "Seems like within the army camp, it is impossible to teleport."
"I am Wu He from the Northern True Ocean," a voice resounded. "My father is the master of Northern True Ocean!"
Luo Feng turned around and grinned. "I am Milky Way! Everywhere can be home to me!"
"Oh!" This beast, "Wu He," nodded his hideous head to show that he understood.
In the World of Jin, wars between tribes and wars between beasts were common and all too frequent. Some of the tribespeople lost their homes as a result and were forced to become refugees roaming about! Of course, there were some who were willing to roam about to hone their skills and abilities.
"You are very impressive," Wu He complimented.
Luo Feng smiled and returned the compliment. "You are not too bad yourself."
