Chapter 3127: General-Level Seal, New Functions
The general was silent, the military salute soundless.
All emotions were contained in this small gesture.
Lin Moyu felt the other's gratitude. Although the Divine Rune Army was born from battle intent and obsessions, it wasn't purely born from battle intent and obsessions.
At this moment, Lin Moyu truly felt the other's thanks.
Similarly, Lin Moyu also gave a military salute.
The general pointed at Lin Moyu's seal. Lin Moyu understood and handed over the seal.
The seal slowly floated up. The general drew his battle blade, lightly touching the seal's tip.
The seal immediately erupted with brilliant light. The "thousand" character was erased, replaced by "ten thousand".
Lin Moyu knew this was the general's reward for him, also considered an extra reward.
Promoting him from thousand-man commander to ten thousand-man commander.
When the real task reward came, Lin Moyu felt he could fully advance to general.
He should be the fastest-promoting person in Ancient Battle Secret Realm history.
The secret realm began to shake. The task ended. A vortex suddenly appeared beside Lin Moyu. He could leave the secret realm through the vortex.
Just as Lin Moyu was about to leave, the general suddenly threw his battle blade. The blade smashed into the ground with a boom, the earth instantly cracking.
Then, a fragment flew out from the ground, coming before Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu was slightly stunned. This fragment wasn't unfamiliar to him. The treasure boxes he opened before contained two similar fragments.
The fragment emitted a Great Dao realm aura. Lin Moyu recognized it as something from the Great Dao realm, but didn't know its true identity.
But no matter what, this should be a good thing.
The general giving him this thing was also part of the extra reward.
His vision cleared. The originally existing secret realm had disappeared.
Then he left the secret realm.
Perhaps when the Ancient Battle Secret Realm opens next time, this task will appear again. But that will be someone else's task, no longer related to Lin Moyu.
Given this task's difficulty, to over-fulfill it requires at least peak sixth-level Dao Venerable, and must be a genius-level figure with the ability to fight across realms.
No matter what method is used, one must exert at least seventh-level Dao Venerable combat power to successfully slay the Black Blood Sword Saint.
Or perhaps a seventh-level ancestor returning from the high-level area could also do this task.
But Lin Moyu felt the ancient battlefield's rule-maker must have considered this point.
People returning from the high-level area probably wouldn't get good rewards.
The rule-maker definitely wouldn't allow such a loophole to exist.
"The Blood Rat Realm bringing black blood here shouldn't just be to evolve a Black Blood Sword Saint."
"No matter how strong the Black Blood Sword Saint is, he's only seventh-level Dao Venerable. For the entire battle situation, he can't make big waves. There must be other purposes."
"Unfortunately, the information obtained is too little to accurately deduce."
"It seems I still need to continue doing tasks, continue raising military rank, collecting more information."
One mystery hadn't been solved, and now new puzzles appeared. Lin Moyu wasn't discouraged, but became more interested.
Outer Gods, Blood Rat Realm, Black Blood Great Realm - what kind of connection is there between the three?
The prehistoric gap, the great battle that once occurred on the Origin Continent, the formation seal at the bottom of the Realm Sea, all attracted Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu felt as if he was clearing a super large instance.
To successfully solve all puzzles, he still had a long way to go.
Rosy light fell from the sky, shining on Lin Moyu. The true reward for this task had come.
The seal automatically flew out, slowly rotating in the rosy light.
Within the rosy light, the seal grew larger again. The seal's size was also related to status. Officers' seals were larger than soldiers'.
Now the seal grew larger again, meaning Lin Moyu's status would change from officer to general.
The patterns on the seal became more exquisite, exuding a gorgeous color.
The "commander" character was erased, replaced by "general".
This also meant Lin Moyu had really become a general.
Then the "ten thousand" character also disappeared, changing to "eight".
Lin Moyu hadn't expected to suddenly advance from thousand-man commander to eighth-grade general.
This speed was really a bit fast, beyond expectation.
But thinking back, it seemed reasonable.
This task seemed to be one, but actually consisted of three tasks inside.
Each additional completion doubled the reward.
Calculating like this, completing all three tasks was equivalent to completing six tasks.
Moreover, he over-fulfilled each task. The rewards might not just double.
With such layer upon layer of accumulation, advancing from thousand-man commander to eighth-grade general in one go seemed logical.
Existence is reasonable. Lin Moyu was only slightly surprised.
As the seal changed, the armor on Lin Moyu's body also shone brilliantly. His armor also changed from officer-grade to general-grade.
The armor's enhancement was greater. Lin Moyu felt that wearing the armor, without using any techniques, his own combat power was already infinitely close to sixth-level Dao Venerable.
The enhancement exceeded two realms, but didn't reach three realms.
The armor's change was dispensable for Lin Moyu.
He cared more about what new abilities the seal would bring him after becoming an eighth-grade general.
When changing from soldier to commander, the seal gained the ability to summon Divine Rune Army soldiers.
Now becoming a general, the seal must gain new abilities.
The seal fell from the rosy light into Lin Moyu's hand.
Lin Moyu immediately learned of the seal's changes.
First was the map. The map enlarged again, more than tenfold.
Its coverage had exceeded the mid-level area, extending to the high-level area.
Task points became three, not increasing but decreasing.
Previously there were seven task points. After completing this task there should be six left. But now with the seal's upgrade, tasks actually decreased.
Moreover, these three task points didn't overlap with the previous ones. They were completely new.
On the map provided by the seal, the three task points had different colors.
The task point in the mid-level area emitted a light red glow.
The two task points in the high-level area were darker in color.
Lin Moyu could roughly guess the meaning. These three tasks were for generals to do.
The rules in the Ancient Battle Secret Realm had always used military rank as the standard, not realm.
He had become a general, so previous tasks were no longer suitable for him. They needed to be replaced with general's tasks.
"Three task points, two in the high-level area, one in the mid-level area, and each color different."
"The task in the mid-level area should be relatively simple. It might be a transition between mid-level and high-level areas, letting people adapt to general-level tasks."
"It's not hard to imagine that general-level tasks should be very difficult."
Lin Moyu understood this was a new function provided by the seal. The task difficulty could be distinguished through colors.
After becoming a general, he had greater authority and could choose task difficulties suitable for himself.
The second function of the general-level seal was summoning.
An eighth-grade general could summon 40,000 Divine Rune Army soldiers of the same realm as himself.
A ten thousand-man commander could summon 10,000 Divine Rune Army soldiers, a ninth-grade general could summon 20,000, and an eighth-grade general could summon 40,000.
The number was okay, but unfortunately the realm wasn't enough.
This wasn't the seal's problem, but his own problem.
Then came the third function: Strengthen!
