Zhao Gao jogged to the field and found Chiliarch Ling already sitting by the wall, waiting for them.
Zhao Gao quickly ran to where he stood yesterday and waited obediently.
This scenario was like your boss waiting for you to arrive at work. It was obvious that the boss would be unhappy.
Chiliarch Ling was definitely not in a good mood. Moreover, he was much more ruthless than any boss.
There were only about three to four hundred people who had arrived as quickly as Zhao Gao. There were still people running over from behind.
Zhao Gao felt that it was too boring to simply wait for the others. In order to find something to do and also to divert his attention, Zhao Gao opened the system interface to check his EXP and level up.
As soon as he opened the system interface, the system notification that he had not seen last night started to flood the screen.
“EXP gained: 252 000”
“Extra Talent Profit: 126 000”
“Total earnings: 378,000”
The EXP points had been calculated 14 times and added every half an hour.
In other words, Zhao Gao had gained 378 000 EXP points in the past seven hours.
With the remaining EXP, Zhao Gao had already stored 397 438 EXP.
On seeing so many EXP points, Zhao Gao could not hide his joy. He could not resist the urge to level up.
Zhao Gao immediately clicked on the Character Level.
“Upgraded Character Level. Cost: 10 350 EXP. Current Character Level: 3”
“Character Stats growth: +1”
“Talent growth: 0.5”
The moment he leveled up, cool air started to move from Zhao Gao’s head to his feet.
This refreshing feeling was difficult to describe with words. Zhao Gao felt that all the cells in his body were cheering.
However, upgrading and evolving was not just limited to this. When his physical stats grew, Zhao Gao’s entire body started to feel bloated and painful.
His muscles and bones were stretched. The numbness and soreness caused by his body’s evolution made him want to scratch, but he could not pinpoint the exact part to scratch.
This pain was accompanied by a bit of refreshing feeling. This made Zhao Gao feel uncomfortable.
After a minute, the upgrade came to an end. This feeling finally ended.
Although this feeling was very uncomfortable, Zhao Gao had actually gotten rid of the fatigue of poor sleep the night before. He felt that he was in such high spirits now.
Or rather, he felt refreshed.
It was even better than having sex.

Zhao Gao let out a breath of turbid air and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, he did not let out any groaning.
Otherwise, he might have died on the spot.
Now that his Character Level had risen to this level, Zhao Gao planned to slow down. What if the upgrade was too much, and caused him to roll on the ground like yesterday?
Furthermore, he had not been able to control his strength yesterday. In the end, he still had 8 Freedom Stats points left!
After adding to the Character Level, Zhao Gao prepared to transfer all his EXP to the Elementary Breathing Technique.
“Elementary Breathing Technique upgrade successful!”
“Level 11 (36 000)”
“Level 12 (47 585)”
“Level 13 (61 480)”
“Level 14 (77 895)”
“Level 15 (97 040)”
At this point, Zhao Gao had used 320 000 EXP points. The remaining 67 088 EXP points were not enough to level up to the next level.
Zhao Gao also planned to keep some to level up other skills or for emergency use.

“Elementary Breathing Technique has increased by 5 levels. Obtained: 5 Freedom Stats points.”
“Talent gained an extra 2.5 Freedom Stats.”
“Current Freedom Stats points: 15.5”
Zhao Gao was helpless as he looked at the Freedom Stats points in the system. He wanted to add them immediately to make himself stronger.
He really wanted to.
He wished he could say, “Let me add points.”
He also wished he could say, “My current strength is all thanks to my own hard work,” after defeating the enemy.
This would feel so good.
However, he could not just add points without thinking unless he wanted to die. Each time he added points, he had to consider his body’s endurance and his current strength control over his body.
Therefore, Zhao Gao planned to add points only when he felt himself reaching the body’s limits during training.
Zhao Gao did not believe that Chiliarch Ling’s training would be gentle at all.
————
“You pieces of trash, you took so long to wake up and gather?!”
“In the future, if you can’t gather within half an hour, I’ll ‘play’ with you!” After Zhao Gao finished leveling up, everyone finally arrived.
The delay made Chiliarch Ling furious again. He stood in front and roared.
In addition, his sinister voice let everyone know that something bad was going to happen.
Chiliarch Ling said, “Now, take the saber and shield in your hands and begin training!”
“Yes!”
“Shield!”
“Roar!”
“Slash!”
“Roar!”
As they shouted, Zhao Gao and the others followed Chiliarch Ling’s slogan, and began their saber and shield training.
As soon as he started training, Zhao Gao noticed the changes in his body.
The saber and shield in his hand, together with the armor on his body, should add up to at least 30 pounds.
Before he had added any points the day before, it was always difficult to swing his saber and shield. Especially after a long period of training, his entire body would begin to ache. He felt as if his body no longer belonged to him.
However, Zhao Gao came to his senses after training began. He had become stronger, and in fact, much stronger than before.
He felt like a thin piece of paper although 30 pounds of weight was on him.
Zhao Gao used a lot of strength each time he raised his shield and swung his saber. Yet, he did not feel any exhaustion, much less any sweat.
Zhao Gao felt that this training could no longer strengthen his body.
The only thing that could be of use to him now, was the muscle memory of wielding a saber and raising a shield. When faced with an enemy attack, he would instinctively raise his shield to block the enemy’s attack and swing his saber to kill the enemy.
As a result, Zhao Gao was training meticulously. He was completely engrossed in his training.
Only by completing this training would he have a greater chance of survival when faced with enemies.
He had not forgotten that Blackrock City was the one being attacked during the war.
The system mission also mentioned that they were forcibly recruited by Blackrock City. This meant that the enemy’s strength was greater than that of Blackrock City.
Chiliarch Ling worked so hard to train them, in hope that they could quickly become combat power.
He wanted to throw them into the battlefield as reinforcements for Blackrock City!

Zhao Gao did not know about the cruelty of ancient battlefields. He only knew some of it superficially from modern dramas.
The content in these dramas had been censored countless times.
Yet, those scenes alone were enough to describe the battlefield as a ‘meat grinder’. Zhao Gao could not imagine just how cruel this place could be.
The only thing Zhao Gao could do was to strengthen himself.
To become stronger, making it impossible for others to kill him, and for him to finally ‘survive’!
