My equipment is designed for cultivation; I started by slaughtering my way through a small world.

In front of the Trial Hall, after the ranking of each trial plane was completed, all the light screens trembled again.

The names of temporary mercenaries below the list of Class A mercenaries have all disappeared.

The mercenaries within the top-ranked positions once again gathered into a data pool, with countless data points flashing on the screen.

"Rookies, the next step is to select the best newcomers for this year's mercenary trials."

"All selected individuals will receive free access to the Immortal Wood Group's bloodline modification program, giving them a head start in their cultivation journey."

The Foundation Establishment sword cultivator in front of him showed a hint of envy on his face as he spoke.

Although he was rated as a Class A mercenary back then, he was not named the best rookie.

He is currently only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and is the best rookie among his peers. Anyone who is still alive has at least a Golden Core cultivator.

boom……

As soon as the Foundation Establishment sword cultivator finished speaking, a slight commotion arose throughout the entire trial hall.

Below Grade A, they were utterly dejected.

The Class A mercenaries in each trial plane were filled with anxiety, their eyes fixed on the light projected from the void gate.

soon.

The screen began to display the list of best rookies.

First place: Zhong Jiufan, Black Prison Soul Refining High School, with a total score of 652.

Second place: Chen Ang, Yaota High School, with a total score of 647.

Third place: Chen Shangmei from Hongxia High School, with a total score of 639.

The criteria for selecting the best rookie are mainly based on three aspects: mercenary skills, mission performance, kill count, and other auxiliary criteria.

The three main assessment indicators account for a total of 450 points, while other standards account for a total of 300 points.

"I killed relatively few people during this trial."

"During the decisive battle with the Grand Preceptor of the Great Yuan Dynasty, you killed only a few thousand people. Wouldn't your kill count be too low?"

Looking at the Rookie of the Year list, Gu Qing frowned slightly.

If I had known, I would have gone to the Great Yuan Empire and killed more enemy soldiers to rack up kills.

Just then, the screen refreshed to show the fourth name on the list, and many people once again focused their attention on Gu Qing.

Fourth place: Gu Qing, Songyang Yucai High School, with a total score of 627.

In the world of ancient martial arts, he is the number one in the top tier.

It ranked fourth overall.

Gu Qing was very satisfied with this ranking. After all, he was confident that with the cheat code in the equipment slot, he would definitely be able to reach the pinnacle of immortality.

However, when it comes to true talent, he is indeed inferior to other true prodigies.

He still needs more time to build up his foundation.

In this trial,

He couldn't help but marvel at his good fortune; he had awakened his equipment slots before even starting the mercenary trials.

Of course, most importantly, it was his own years of secluded practice and comprehension of martial arts principles that ultimately led to his success.

A short while later.

The selection process for Rookie of the Year is accelerating.

The top ten rising stars are Zhong Jiufan, Chen Ang, Chen Shangmei, Gu Qing, Jia Meiqian...

After the top ten promising young sword cultivators were selected, the Foundation Establishment sword cultivator who was in charge of this trial mission smiled slightly at Gu Qing and the others.

He then looked at the other temporary mercenaries, his expression serious, and said:

"The mercenary trial has a high mortality rate, but each trial is a tremendous opportunity for you, capable of transforming you completely."

Don't be discouraged if you weren't selected as one of the top ten rookies.

"There are two more trials ahead, both of which are your chance to turn things around."

"but……"

The Foundation Establishment sword cultivator changed the subject, paused slightly, and then scolded, "You have fallen far behind. If you want to stand out, you must fight desperately and unleash your potential."

"Everyone is undergoing this trial for the first time. Some people can seize the opportunity and cultivate for 24 hours a day, while others dare to be pioneers and boldly explore new frontiers."

After offering his criticisms, the Foundation Establishment sword cultivator glanced at the list of the top ten rising stars on the screen in front of him and smiled slightly.

"Here, I want to specifically commend Gu Qing."

"Before his first mercenary trial, his stats were only average among you."

"During the trial, he risked his life and soul to fuse multiple martial arts inheritances together, completing a transformation in his martial arts. Compared to you, it was a qualitative leap..."

All the mercenaries immediately turned their gazes in that direction.

Facing Gu Qing, whose score was as high as 627 points.

Jia Meiqian, who ranked fifth on the Best Rookie list, is a low-level socialite in the Immortal Kingdom. He has no doubt about the rating given by the Void Gate.

Every fraction of a degree represents a new world.

With a 20-point difference between him and Gu Qing, Jia Meiqian looked at Gu Qing and immediately felt immense pressure.

This child is terrifyingly powerful!

……

Xianmu Group.

Immortal Dao Technology Research Institute.

Without exception, everyone who appears here is an exceptional individual.

They are all outstanding talents who graduated from top-tier immortal cultivation universities.

The Bloodline Research Institute is one of the seven major regions, and there are hundreds of project teams under the Bloodline Research Institute.

These groups each studied different bloodline powers.

At the center of the Bloodline Research Institute stands a giant monument formed by the bloodline ranking list.

Countless researchers and project teams are constantly monitoring the Bloodline Monument.

"Since you've just started working at the Bloodline Research Institute, the first thing you need to know is the significance of the Bloodline Ranking."

In a corner of the Bloodline Research Institute, a middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses was explaining general knowledge to several newly graduated immortal cultivators.

"The Bloodline Ranking lists countless bloodline technologies researched by the Bloodline Research Institute, including the 100 most powerful bloodline evolution paths that have shone brightly in the wars against other void planes."

"You must remember that each of these hundred bloodline techniques has undergone rigorous testing and is absolutely reliable."

The middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses spoke quickly.

The researchers listening nearby nodded in agreement.

What a joke! They're not stupid; they naturally know the value of the bloodline ranking list.

"Um......"

The middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses nodded slightly.

This time, thankfully, none of the new recruits were arrogant or overconfident and came out to refute us.

"Next..."

The middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses was about to continue speaking.

Just then.

A short-haired woman below suddenly widened her eyes and exclaimed in surprise:

"Brother Zhang, things have changed, the rankings have changed."

The short-haired woman stammered.

"Are your eyes playing tricks on you?"

"How could the bloodline ranking list possibly change?"

The middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses frowned slightly.

The hundred bloodline techniques on the bloodline ranking list are all bloodline techniques that the Immortal Wood Group spent countless efforts to test through hundreds of interdimensional wars and selected from countless killings.

Changes in the bloodline rankings mean that one of the bloodline techniques has been surpassed, resulting in a change in the rankings.

This is clearly an extremely incredible thing.

Out of curiosity, the middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses looked up at the bloodline ranking list.

"Demon Bloodline Technology Level Decreased..."

The middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses glanced at the rankings and instantly noticed the changes in the bloodline rankings.

Immediately afterwards, he looked at the update instructions for the bloodline ranking list.

"The Demon Bloodline technique lacks universality and performs poorly in the martial arts world... In the latest Grade 1, Rank 1 Ancient Martial Arts Trial, a Demon Bloodline user was killed by Gu Qing, an ordinary newcomer to the trial!!"

"Gu Qing, that name sounds familiar?"

The middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses thought to himself.

Suddenly.

He recalled that not long ago, a distant cousin had approached him, saying that a distant nephew named Gu Qing had become a mercenary for the Xianmu Group, and asked him to take good care of this distant nephew.

hiss--

Could it be such a coincidence?

If that's true, wouldn't this be his chance?

If this distant nephew were to use the [Bloodline of Myriad Laws] he developed, he could very well achieve extraordinary success!
