Starting with SSS-rank talent, I contracted the Forbidden Ferocity.

News of the destruction of Broken Soul City reached Dongxia even before the military's warships.

The headquarters of the Blood-Clad Tower was destroyed.

The original poster, Xue Qianqiu, died.

The Shadow Demon Queen's divided spirit was cut back.

The list of trade registries among all races fell into the hands of the human race.

Any one of these four pieces of news would be enough to shake the military.

Moreover, the person who accomplished all of this was Shen Ye, who had only recently been crowned a king.

When the warship returned to the capital, it was still dark.

However, the main hall of the military headquarters was already packed with people.

It's not a welcome.

It is an examination.

High-ranking military officials, representatives from the Beast Taming Association, the Martial Arts Association, and the aristocratic families of the capital all came.

When Shen Ye stepped off the warship, all eyes were on him.

Night Feather stopped on the left shoulder.

Jie Chen lay on his right shoulder.

Zhu Jiu was shrouded in shadow.

Long Yuan stood behind him with his arms crossed, his golden pupils sweeping over the crowd.

At that moment, many people had the same thought.

Is she really eighteen?

Lu Qingshan whispered to Shen Ye:

"Say less later."

Shen Ye glanced at him.

Lu Qingshan added:

"What I mean is, don't drive people crazy."

Shen Ye nodded.

"It depends."

Lu Qingshan's lips twitched.

Inside the main hall of the military headquarters.

A middle-aged man dressed in black and gold armor sat at the head of the table.

He didn't deliberately release any pressure, yet he was like a mountain pressing down on the battlefield.

Wei Cang, commander of the Demon Suppression Army of Dongxia.

A seventh-tier powerhouse.

He is also one of the top combatants of the human race guarding the eastern front of the battlefield of all races.

Wei Cang looked at Shen Ye and got straight to the point.

"Did you kill Xue Qianqiu?"

Shen Ye said:

"Yes."

"Did you slay the Shadow Demon Queen's demise?"

"Yes."

"The Mother Stone of Eternal Calamity was swallowed by your tamed beast?"

Shen Ye paused for a moment.

Jie Chen raised its head and flicked its tail.

Shen Ye said:

"Yes."

Many people inside the hall had a slight change in expression.

Someone couldn't help but speak up:

"The Eternal Stone is a strategic resource; how could you allow your beast to devour it without my permission?"

Lu Qingshan's face darkened, and he was about to speak.

Shen Ye had already looked at that person.

"At that time, the Shadow Queen was using it to descend."

"Do you have a better idea?"

The man paused.

Shen Ye continued:

"If you have any, say it now."

The main hall fell silent.

Wei Cang suddenly laughed.

"Direct enough."

He raised his hand, silencing the discussions in the hall.

"On the battlefield, make decisions on the spot."

"If the Mother Stone is not swallowed, the Shadow Demon Queen's spirit will descend, and the consequences will be even more severe."

"This matter will not be pursued."

The person who had spoken could only lower his head.

Wei Cang then looked at Shen Ye.

"But you severed one of the Shadow Demon Queen's primal eyes."

"The Shadow Demons will not swallow this insult."

Shen Ye said:

"If they come, I will kill them."

The hall fell silent once more.

That's an arrogant statement.

But no one thought he was just being stubborn.

Because he had just destroyed the Blood-Clad Tower's headquarters.

Wei Cang looked at Shen Ye, a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

"it is good."

"Dongxia needs people like this."

He raised his hand, and a black military order flew towards Shen Ye.

The military order has two characters engraved on the front.

[Demon Suppression]

The back is engraved with:

Night King

Wei Cang said in a deep voice:

"From this day forward, Shen Ye is hereby placed in the reserve ranks of the Demon Suppression Army."

"Awarded the rank of Major General in the Extermination of Demons."

"A demon-suppressing squad of less than one hundred people can be mobilized."

"You can enter the third level of the Demon Suppression Army's resource vault."

"You can accept King-level missions in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races".

The hall erupted in chaos instantly.

Demon-Suppressing General.

This is no ordinary honor.

This is real power.

An eighteen-year-old Demon Suppression General—a figure that has not appeared in Dongxia for nearly ten years.

Someone frowned and said:

"Commander, although Shen Ye has made great contributions, he is still young. Is it too hasty to directly award him the rank of Major General?"

Wei Cang looked at that person.

"When you were eighteen, you were able to kill a peak fifth-tier opponent?"

The man remained silent.

Wei Cang continued:

"Could it destroy the Blood-Clad Tower's headquarters?"

"Can it slay the Shadow Demon Queen's divided spirit?"

"Can you bring back the register of trade among all races?"

The man shut up completely.

Wei Cang withdrew his gaze.

"The military will award ranks based on merit."

"Anyone who disagrees can go to the battlefield of all races and earn the same merit."

No one spoke.

Shen Ye accepted the order to suppress the demons.

A system notification sounded.

[Obtained the Demon Suppression Army Order.]

[Privilege escalation.]

[New Feature Enabled: Military Merit Exchange.]

Evolution Points can be used to exchange for special battlefield materials.

Shen Ye's eyes flickered slightly.

This authority is more useful than the rank of major general itself.

Wei Cang stood up.

"Shen Ye."

"The Blood-Clad Tower has been destroyed, but the Shadow Demon Clan has extended its reach into Eastern Xia."

"Would you be willing to go to Zhenmo Pass on the eastern front?"

Lu Qingshan's expression changed slightly.

Han Pojun also frowned.

Demon-Suppressing Pass.

That was the true front line of all races.

It's not comparable to a narrow, secluded area like Burial Beast Ridge.

Shen Ye simply asked:

"Are there Shadow Demons there?"

Wei Cangdao:

"Not just the Shadow Demons."

"The Blood Demon Clan, the Bone Demon Clan, the Flame Prison Clan, and the Heavenly Serpent Clan are all there."

Shen Ye nodded.

"I'll go."

Wei Cang looked at him.

"You'll have seven days to rest."

Shen Ye said:

"Three days."

Wei Cang smiled.

"Then three days it will be."
