The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

"Originally, I wasn't planning to let you participate, since you've only recently awakened and your foundation isn't stable yet. But after seeing your performance today..."

Su Qiong smiled slightly: "I think our Godslayer Legion can also take the first place."

"I hope you can play."

Su Qiong looked directly into Gu Xu's eyes: "It's not just for the legion's resources, but also to establish your authority within the military."

"As long as you make a name for yourself in the martial arts competition, the materials needed for that job change quest, and even the resources for subsequent advancement, will be lined up to deliver them to you."

Gu Xu nodded without hesitation: "No problem. Since I've taken the benefits from the legion, I have no choice but to do this."

Fighting? Or this kind of fight that can make money and get you promoted?

This was a piece of cake for him.

"Great! I love your straightforwardness!"

Su Qiong slapped the table in satisfaction: "Don't rush into dungeons these next couple of days. Let Jiang Shu show you the mechanics of the various monsters in the simulation arena and help you practice your skills."

"As for the job change materials, I'll take care of them for you."

"Don't worry, after the martial arts demonstration, I promise I'll put that Void Tear on the table for you."

After saying that, Su Qiong, as if performing magic, flipped her wrist and a set of equipment emitting a faint purple light appeared out of thin air on the table.

In an instant, the air in the study seemed to freeze, and a faint spatial fluctuation spread out.

"This is……"

Gu Xu's eyes suddenly widened.

"Since we're sending you to compete for first place, our army can't be too stingy."

Su Qiong casually picked up one of the robes and tossed it to Gu Xu: "This is Old Xu's most treasured possession. If I hadn't held a knife to his throat, he definitely wouldn't have taken it out."

Gu Xu accepted the robe, which felt as light as a feather.

It feels silky smooth like water and has a slightly cool feel to the touch.

As he touched it, the equipment's attribute panel popped up automatically.

Voidwalker - Shadow Robes (Legendary)

[Equipment Quality: Legendary]

Level requirement: 10

[Attributes: Strength +100, Agility +100, Constitution +150, Spirit +200]

【Special Effect 1: Void Shield (Passive): When attacked, there is a 30% chance to automatically trigger a shield that absorbs 5000 points of damage.】

【Special Effect 2: Mana Surge (Passive): Restores 2% of maximum mana per second.】

It's just a piece of clothing, but its attributes are ridiculously strong!

Immediately afterwards, Su Qiong started doing things like setting up a street stall.

The remaining parts were laid out one by one.

Voidwalker Hood, Voidwalker Belt, Voidwalker Trousers, Voidwalker Boots.

This is the complete set!

"This set of equipment is called Voidwalker, and it is the top-tier magic-based set at level 10."

Su Qiong pointed to the equipment and explained, "The most important thing is its set bonus."

Gu Xu glanced at the outfit's effect, and his breathing quickened involuntarily.

[3-piece set bonus: Increases Spirit by 15%, reduces the cooldown of all skills by 20%.]

[5-piece set effect: Gain the active skill "Void Leap"—Instantly teleport 15 meters in the specified direction, leaving behind a continuously exploding void afterimage. Cooldown: 10 seconds.]

Teleport!

For mages, this is absolutely a life-saving skill!

Before Gu Xu could recover from his shock, Su Qiong pulled out a staff that was entirely black with a blood-red gemstone inlaid at the top, as well as a pendant as blue as the deep sea.

"This is the [Scepter of Domination], a legendary weapon. Although it's not part of the set, its attributes are more suitable for you."

[Scepter of Domination]

[Equipment Quality: Legendary]

[Equipment Level: LV10]

[Magic Attack: 300-450]

[Attribute: Spirit +300]

[Unique Effect: Royal Majesty - Increases all attributes of all summoned creatures by 30% for an unlimited duration.]

"And this pendant, [Deep Blue Tear]."

Su Qiong handed the sapphire pendant to Gu Xu: "It can grant immunity to one mental control skill and greatly increase your mental resistance."

"When practicing martial arts, don't fall for those illusionists' tricks."

Looking at the table full of glittering gold and purple-tinged equipment, Gu Xu felt as if he were dreaming.

This whole setup would cost at least tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, right?

And it's the kind of thing that money can't buy!

"Is this what the military does...?"

Gu Xu murmured to himself, stroking the scepter of dominion, feeling the surging power within.

"This is just a small gift."

Seeing Gu Xu's shocked expression, Su Qiong laughed heartily, a hint of arrogance flashing in her eyes: "As long as you can win, what is this little bit? There's something even better to come."

"Put it on, let me see what our Crown Prince of the Godslayer Army looks like."

Gu Xu took a deep breath and, without being coy, put on his equipment piece by piece.

The moment the last hood was put on, a mysterious, dark, and powerful aura emanated from him.

The black robes fluttered even without wind, complementing the scepter that emitted a red glow.

At this moment, he hardly looks like a newcomer anymore.

He was like a young king who had emerged from the abyss.

Su Qiong looked at the young man in front of her.

Nodding in satisfaction, she teased, "Really good, huh? No wonder that aloof Zhang Xinxin is so smitten with you. Not just him, even I'm smitten with you!"

……

The next two days were both fulfilling and somewhat boring for Gu Xu.

Under Jiang Shu's guidance, he practically measured the entire 18th Army's garrison area on foot.

From the logistics and maintenance department, filled with the smell of engine oil and the clanging of metal.

Arrive at the medical department, where the air is filled with the scent of disinfectant and high-level healing magic.

Then there's the operations staff, which is heavily encrypted and filled with holographic projections.

Gu Xu was about to be completely bound to this behemoth.

I have gained a systematic understanding.

This is a sophisticated war machine.

And he is being molded into the sharpest fang of this machine.

Aside from sightseeing, the rest of the time was naturally spent grinding monsters.

With the Ghost Bride and Twitch, these fully automatic monster-clearing artifacts, plus Jiang Shu's relentless monster-luring, Gu Xu's experience bar was pushed forward significantly even during his bottleneck period.

Finally, on the night before the martial arts competition began, his level was fixed at level 12.

As night fell, Gu Xu's luxurious villa was brightly lit.

The huge holographic sand table in the center of the living room has been activated. Wang Tiantian is dressed in a smart business suit, holding a long stick in her hand, and her expression is more serious than ever before.

"Your Highness, tomorrow is the military drill."

Wang Tiantian pushed up her glasses and pointed to the simulated topographical map on the sand table: "There are some changes to the rules, which are disgusting, but I must report them to you truthfully."
