"Recently, in the empty valley on the outskirts of Xindu, the spirit beast black snake broke through the enchantment and went down the mountain to eat people, which was too rampant...... In order to encourage young soul mages, the mercenary union of the Xindu branch hall of the Soul Dao Palace is now recruiting ten mercenaries under the age of eighteen who are above the level of major sect cultivators...... Gather at 11 a.m. to discuss snake hunting. You Xuanhao read the notice while eating the freshly baked love tofu fruit with relish, a famous dish from the Fire Empire, which was very popular in the TechnoAlpin Empire.

Ye Rui was dressed as a son, with a height of 1.7 meters, he looked very temperamental, looking at You Xuanhao, who was wrapped in coarse cloth in front of him and was not elegant, he smiled and shook his head. You Xuanhao is only one meter six or six tall, and with this outfit, he looks like a rural worker, but his impeccable face is still very charming, and women passing by often glance at him.

"Xiao Ye, this is a good opportunity! I haven't entered the Soul Dao Palace yet, I will show my ability in this event first, and then I will enter the organization to suppress the other scumbags...... "After getting along for a long time, the two of them can be regarded as a contract with Mossen, and You Xuanhao's title to Ye Rui has also changed from "Brother Ye" to "Xiao Ye".

"What Brother You said is extremely true, then what are the two of us waiting for, there is an old saying: it is better to act than to be excited, it is better for us to go early, so as not to fill the quota. ”

......

The Mercenary Guild of the Soul Dao Palace is one of the three major guilds of the Soul Dao Palace, although it is not as good as the Soul Refining Guild and the Magic Guild, but it is also a big organization that no one dares to mess with.

When You Xuanhao and Ye Rui arrived, there were already dozens of people in the trade union hall, and it seemed that they were all here to participate in this event. I can't imagine that there are so many young talents in this Xindu City.

"Everyone, please wait a minute, since there are so many young soul mages here, our union will appropriately increase the number of places, but it is not as simple as first coming first - this operation is only the duty of supervision and inspection, not the duty of assistance, so the safety of your lives is not guaranteed, so for the sake of insurance, we adopt a merit-based admission system, I hope you understand." The lady in charge at the back of the counter patiently explained to everyone. The girl looked to be only twenty-one or twelve years old, with thick blue wavy curls draped over her shoulders, and her body seemed to have been framed by a uniform that had cut corners to outline her perfect curves, giving people an extremely coquettish feeling.

"Hey, Xiao Ye, do you think that girl is pretty?" You Xuanhao rubbed Ye Rui with his elbow.

"Beautiful...... No, Brother You, you've mistaken the point!"

"Xiao Ye, what kind of merit-based admission is this, I think it's very challenging, it's better to ......" You Xuanhao smiled evilly, and made a gesture with his hand to take something out of his pocket and hand it out.

"Then forget it, I think with our strength, there is nothing difficult. Ye Rui waved his hand to refuse. What You Xuanhao said naturally revealed Ye Rui's identity. Ye Rui said this, and You Xuanhao shut up.

Then the so-called merit-based admission process was surprisingly simple: the mercenary guild personnel checked the age and strength of the participants, because of the use of large magic-type magic weapons, no one could fake it. Sixteen people will be admitted in this plan, divided into four teams, led by the top four teams in terms of equivalent strength (that is, the comprehensive evaluation of strength and age).

Half an hour passed, and the test ended.

"So...... On behalf of the Xindu Soul Dao Palace Branch Hall and the Mercenary Union, I announced the selection list: Team 1, Long Yue, Yi Ruqiu, Jian Rou, Sun Rongjian, Captain: Long Yue, Team 2, Jiang Jie...... Three teams, Ouyang Xigang...... Fourth team, You Xuanhao, Su Xiaoli, Ye Rui, Huang Ming, Captain: You Xuanhao. After the blue-haired lady finished announcing, she added, "Please get to know each other, and when noon arrives, enter the meeting area through the left door, and there is a plan." ”

You Xuanhao didn't know what to say at this time, but he didn't expect that the people who came to participate in the event this time were quite strong, there were more than a dozen like Ye Rui's thirty-ninth level, if it weren't for Ye Rui's low age, he might have to rely on the back door. Many aspiring teenagers of the thirty-seventh and thirty-eighth levels could only leave the scene in tears. However, what made him excited was that because of the comprehensive evaluation of strength and age, You Xuanhao was able to become the captain, and was lucky to be assigned to a team with Ye Rui, which saved a lot of trouble, after all, he had more time to understand the other two team members more.

"I'm You Xuanhao, the captain of the fourth team, everyone is coming and gathering!" You Xuanhao shouted.

"My name is Su Xiaoli, seventeen years old, level forty and second-class sect, please take care of me!" A girl in a black miniskirt and short pink ear-length hair leaned over to You Xuanhao. The girl has a standard melon seed face, her big eyes are shining with active brilliance, and her blown-up skin is very attractive in the soft light.

Ye Rui unconsciously fixed his eyes on Su Xiaoli. "My name is Ye Rui, fifteen years old, thirty-nine level Dazong, it's a pleasure to meet you, beautiful Miss Su. ”

You Xuanhao almost laughed out loud, this guy is finally in heat!

Su Xiaoli looked at Ye Rui, who was two years younger than herself and the same height as herself, and smiled: "Hello, are all the little brothers so precocious now...... Sure enough, it is a child of a rich family, so literate and cute......" Su Xiaoli pinched Ye Rui's face and felt very happy. Ye Rui fell into deep embarrassment......

"Huang Ming, sixteen years old, thirty-nine level Dazong, his strength is too weak, please don't dislike it. A black-haired boy dressed in cloth like You Xuanhao "floated" over.

"It's nothing, Xiao Huang, I, You Xuanhao, as a professional scoring maniac, will definitely take you to brush up your experience and achieve two major sects!" You Xuanhao's face was full of confidence, and he patted the shoulder of this brother who was one meter seven or five tall, and then felt inferior for a while. "Wait, give me a year, Lao Tzu will grow to one meter nine, no, two meters!" You Xuanhao said secretly.

"So, let's learn about our respective soul arts, I think we have to work together. "You Xuanhao is indeed a natural leader, and his mind is very clear," we went to Binghai Park to chat. ”

......

Ice Sea Park, the most luxurious park in the TechnoAlpin Empire, not only has all kinds of sports and entertainment facilities, but also is very beautiful. The park is full of a variety of plants, with a thin layer of ice on their stems and beautiful snowflakes on the leaves and flowers. Snowflakes are scattered over the park, and the snow on the ground slowly disappears, purified and falls from the sky – what a wonderful ice magic!

In the park, various styles of building pavilions have been built, which are hung with colorful lanterns, and at night, the brilliance is accompanied by the snow in the night sky, which has an elegant artistic conception. Visitors often stay in the pavilion to drink a cup of bitter tea and enjoy this beautiful scenery.

At this time, it was close to noon, and the fourth team led by You Xuanhao was eating fried chicken and chatting in a small pavilion called "Bishu Pavilion" in the park, which could be described as very happy.

"I'm a water soul mage, and the four soul techniques are the water shield used for defense, the water archery technique used for attack, the magic soul technique water shackles used for bondage, and the large-scale attack soul technique obtained by breaking through the two major sects yesterday - water dragon dance. There is only one magic class in my soul art, so I didn't think about it and couldn't apply to enter the magic union of the Soul Dao Palace. You Xuanhao said seriously.

The magic union requires soul mages to have a strength of level 40 or above, and no more than two non-magic soul magic, and these soul mages can also be called magic soul mages, which is a large component of genetic problems, so many people can only reluctantly accept their fate. The Magic Guild will not only provide magic soul mages with cultivation methods to ensure that the next soul magic has a high chance of being a magic soul, but will also sell them magic magic weapons and magic scrolls cheaply - these scrolls are well-made, and the instantaneous magic contained in them is very effective, at least for self-defense.

"I'm a light magic soul mage, but I haven't considered joining the Magic Guild yet. My four soul spells are a ball of light for instantaneous attacks, light and shadow magic for speeding up and dodging, a magic for hunting enemies - sword array of lights, and a special magic for support - healing purple light. These spells take a few seconds of chanting time, and I need everyone to help me fight for them, thank you!" the active Su Xiaoli also spoke.

You Xuanhao clenched his chin with his right hand and thought: This is very supportive, then our team must have strong attackers and defenders in front of us, and we can defend against me, so strong attack......

"Which of you can be a strong attacker?" You Xuanhao looked at Ye Rui and Huang Ming.

"I ...... My soul wandering brother, you know, flying leaves, vines, paralysis, how can they be qualified for the role of a strong attacker?" Ye Rui said with a busy wave of his hand.

"Also, look at your weak writing...... Xiao Huang, what about you?"

"I, yes, I can! Fire soul mage, soul skills are fireballs, fire shields, and meteoric arrays, all of which are instantaneous, but with my strength, ......"

You Xuanhao understands that this Huang Ming is a guy with low self-esteem, if he can help him improve his self-confidence, then he will definitely be a right-hand man.

So You Xuanhao patted Huang Ming's high shoulder again with a heartfelt heart, and said, "Don't worry, we believe in your strength!" I will fight with Xiao Huang in the front, Xiao Ye will play a sneak attack, and Sister Xiao Li will mainly attack and assist, and finally come to a sword formation to finish. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" the three said in unison.

......

As soon as noon arrived, You Xuanhao led the team into the meeting area of the mercenary union.

At this time, the other teams had only just arrived, but You Xuanhao, who was the last to enter the field, still felt very unhappy.

"Have you arrived?" the old man began to talk about the operation. "In the center of the stage in the conference area sat a sturdy old man with half-blue and half-white hair, who looked to be about seventy years old, and spoke in a rough and powerful voice. Standing next to the old man was the blue-haired lady I saw in the morning, dressed unchanged, smiling, very beautiful and generous.

"The old man's name is Kong Tian, the current president of the mercenary union. First of all, I want to emphasize that the girl you saw this morning is my granddaughter, Kong Shiyao. You are young, you are all leaders, but your thoughts are not simple, if any of you have a fancy for Yao'er, I will give you three years, if you can become very strong, I can consider accepting the proposal. Although my girl is twenty-two years old, she is not much older than you, not to mention Yao'er, her country is fragrant, and the fish and geese fall ......"

"Grandpa......" Kong Shiyao, who was standing on the side, hurriedly pulled Kong Tian's clothes, blushing with shame.

"Ahem! get to the point!" Kong Tian glanced at Kong Shiyao playfully and continued, "This operation is for you to go to the Valley of Empty Sorrow to exterminate the chaotic spirit beast Black Snake, and after the matter is completed, each person can get fifty copper coins." As far as I know, there are more than ten black snakes that have reached the great sect level there, some of them are very united, and some of them are in separate formations, you have to find a way to clean them up, so as not to cause trouble in the future. Did you hear me clearly?!"

"Hear me clearly!"

"If you don't have equipment, our mercenary union has an arsenal and a sundries storage area, which is open to you today! Leave on time at three o'clock this afternoon, and I will come back intact within a week, do you hear clearly?!"

"Hear me clearly!"

"In addition, I will reiterate one side, if you are willing, I will give you three years, remember?!"

"Remember!"

Kong Shiyao was so ashamed that she squatted on the ground, and her face wanted to be buried in the ground.

You Xuanhao also smiled, this old man and the old man Rong are quite similar, but using this method to promote his granddaughter is really rare in the world!

After leaving the mercenary union, the team members also separated, and agreed to meet at Binghai Park at half past two. You Xuanhao and Ye Rui enjoyed a nap in the rental house - take a good rest, and then hurry up, after all, meditation and cultivation still consume some energy. Su Xiaoli and Huang Ming also returned to their residences and began to rest.

"It's really exciting, it's been a long time since I've fought with a spirit beast, the last time the old man Rong asked me to fight with the golden-scaled crocodile, and almost killed me, but it also made me a hanging-like character...... And those three people who are stronger than me, Long Yue, Jiang Jie, and Ouyang Xigang, I wonder if they will perform better than me?

......

As soon as three o'clock arrived, the four teams set off. However, what happened after that was completely unexpected.
