Chapter 1839: Chapter 1833: Mainly There to Cheer Us On

It’s still those over 8,000 people, Ling Xi remembered very clearly that before they went in, the highest life level was just at the initial entry into the Divine Cultivation Realm, and some of their realms were even unstable, with somewhat chaotic auras.

But in just two days, the weakest had already reached the Second Grade Divine Cultivation Realm, and the strongest seemed to have a tendency to break through to the Fourth Grade!

"Oh? The Princess is here?" At the back of the line, Zhang Menglong slowly walked out. His aura was just at the First-grade Divine Cultivation Realm, but Ling Xi could feel that the power in his body was incomparable even to those at the peak of the Third Grade Divine Cultivation Realm among the apprentice disciples.

Moreover, the respect everyone showed him was visible to the naked eye.

During this period, Zhang Menglong finally advanced to the First-grade Divine Cultivation Realm, becoming a Super Life Form. However, after becoming a Super Life Form, the energy needed for each life transformation increased exponentially, making it difficult to see significant improvement through ordinary methods.

"Mr. Gu, how exactly did you manage this in just two days?" Ling Xi couldn’t help but ask.

"Ah, there’s nothing much to it," Zhang Menglong said, "at most, we just did some hellish training."

Of course, Ling Xi knew that Zhang Menglong’s answer was just to brush her off.

The daily training of the Shenxiao Empire was already very grueling, and when not in combat, they almost pushed their bodies to the limit every day, yet their life levels didn’t improve as terrifyingly as this!

Forget hellish training, even if they turned into demons themselves, it wouldn’t be this exaggerated, right?

"Princess, can you find us a place to shower first? We look pretty embarrassing like this."

"Alright, follow me!"

...

After some washing up, the apprentice disciples of the Sunset Sect had regained their youthful and energetic state, and their vitality and spirit seemed much stronger than before.

The most important thing was that Ling Xi saw a confidence in them that hadn’t been there before, as if no difficulty could really be considered a difficulty anymore.

"Has the reinforcement from the Divine Profound Hall arrived?" Zhang Menglong asked casually, as if he were just asking "Has the delivery arrived?"

"They should have arrived," Ling Xi said, "just now we spotted a spaceship entering the military fortress of the Xingyu Empire, it should be the ship from the Divine Profound Hall, but so far, they haven’t shown much movement."

"Alright, then let’s strike first, Princess, please gather our army, let’s charge over, if we’re lucky, we can finish this battle by dusk today!"

"Charge over first?" Ling Xi was taken aback.

In her concept, their Shenxiao Empire had always been on the weaker side. As the underdog, shouldn’t they be playing a defensive strategy and waiting for an opportunity in such a war? How could they be launching an attack?

Even if the strength of these apprentice disciples from the Sunset Sect had greatly improved, combined with the Nine Nether Sunset Art, there was still quite a disparity compared to the core disciples of the Divine Profound Hall.

You must know, the core disciples of the Divine Profound Hall are almost all at or above the Ninth Grade Divine Cultivation Realm. The gap between an ordinary martial artist in the Second or Third Grade and a Ninth Grade is more than tenfold. Even with the Nine Nether Sunset Art, facing them one-on-one would likely already be their limit, or they would probably fall on the losing side.

And this time, the number of core disciples from the Divine Profound Hall is even more than half again than theirs, along with three profoundly unfathomable direct disciples, they would certainly suffer a loss in a rash conflict.

"Yeah, we’ve been out for so many days, let’s quickly wrap up things here and get ready to return to the Sect." Zhang Menglong was very interested in exploring the internal area of the Sunset Sect, but only official disciples had the qualification to enter.

"But isn’t this too reckless? We don’t even know their full strength." Despite feeling the confidence and high morale in Zhang Menglong and others, Ling Xi still felt this was a battlefield, not a match or spar.

Once really on the battlefield, it’s a fight to the death. After this prolonged period of war, the military strength of the Shenxiao Empire has also been greatly depleted. If Zhang Menglong and others cannot handle those reinforcements from the Divine Profound Hall, the army would suffer significant trauma once.

"The Princess is worried about your warriors, right?"

Ling Xi remained silent, which was a tacit acknowledgment.

"Actually, there’s no need to worry," Zhang Menglong laughed, "I asked the Princess to gather the army, not to engage them in direct combat."

"Hmm?" Ling Xi was puzzled. If not for battle, then what was the purpose of gathering the army?

"I just think us, over 8,000 people charging over, would look a bit lonely. We need more people for a stronger presence," Zhang Menglong added, "You can let the army be our cheerleaders, we’ll handle those losers from the Divine Profound Hall in no time."

"Cheerleaders..." Ling Xi’s forehead couldn’t help but break out in a few black lines, this Gu Mister’s idea was really unorthodox.

"Brothers, are you ready?"

"Ready!"

"Fight in the morning, and have them sign the surrender agreement in the afternoon. We’ll issue them new IDs tomorrow!"

"Hey, we’re not conducting an invasion war, giving them new IDs is over the top!"

"Isn’t it just to make the slogans sound more inspiring?"

A group of people clattered as they marched towards the frontline battlefield, leaving Ling Xi utterly surprised. Is this really going to war? Why does it feel like a group of thugs demanding protection fees?

"Just go mad with them!" Though Princess Ling Xi was a woman, she wielded military power equivalent to that of a general, "Servants, summon the legion, prepare for battle!"

...

"Boom Boom Boom!"

As the war drums beat, the battlefield, which had been silent for two days, once again returned to noise and clamour.

"What’s going on?" The core disciples of the Divine Profound Hall were still enjoying their welcoming banquet when the music and dance abruptly stopped.

"Masters, it seems like the people from the Shenxiao Empire have come to challenge," An immediate report came from the front, "The Shenxiao Empire has assembled the forces of two armies, and under the leadership of those apprentice disciples from the Sunset Sect, they’ve charged over."

"Divine Profound Hall, Divine Profound Hall, I know you’re at home, you have the nerve to show off, open the door if you dare!"

"Listen up, everyone inside, you’re already surrounded by us, I urge you to lay down your weapons, abandon meaningless resistance, and surrender unconditionally, and maybe give us a foot wash tonight, otherwise we’ll siege the city!"

"Core disciples, huh? Direct disciples, huh? I’m here to fight you high-level disciples!"

...

A series of curses came from the direction of the battlefield, causing some irritation among the disciples of the Divine Profound Hall.

"Ridiculous! We haven’t gone to trouble them yet, and here they are, rushing to their death!" Bai Qi spilled his wine, "Do they think that we are just an easy target because we’re tired from the journey?"

"Looks like this welcoming banquet can’t be eaten today, well, I guess it’s time to see if these apprentice disciples of Sunset Sect are really as tricky as the rumors say."
