Wu Shattered Star River

Lei Qi led Jiang Han into an estate, but they didn't linger there. Instead, they entered a castle within the estate, which housed a massive teleportation array.

"The Heavenly Thunder Realm is outside the city?"

Jiang Han frowned. Although a year had passed, who knew if the Grand Elder was still lying in wait outside the city? What if he ambushed him?

"Yes!"

Lei Qi nodded and said, "It's not just the Heavenly Thunder Realm. The armies of all races are stationed outside the city. How could the city possibly accommodate so many troops?"

Jiang Han hesitated for a moment and said, "I offended a powerful expert before, from the Blood Moon Sea's Demon Moon Sect. Their Grand Elder has been pursuing me relentlessly. I suspect she's still outside the city."

"Demon Moon Sect?"

Lei Qi was taken aback, then sneered, "She wouldn't dare come to our military camp even if she had a hundred times the courage. Forget a Saint Lord, even the Demon Moon True Monarch wouldn't dare attack the Heavenly Thunder Army. Besides, there are formations around the military camp. Saint Lords can't sneak in. Rest assured."

"Alright!"

Jiang Han felt slightly relieved and followed Lei Qi into the teleportation array.

A flash of white light later, Jiang Han found himself in a huge valley. The valley was surrounded by towering mountains on all sides, with a blue energy shield at the top.

The valley was thousands of miles across, filled with camps and castles. As far as the eye could see, there were countless soldiers clad in blue armor.

Jiang Han glanced around and noticed that there were very few Heavenly Thunder Race members. The soldiers inside were from various races, a mixed bag. Many of the races were bizarre, and Jiang Han's eyes were opened.

Soldiers guarded the teleportation array. Lei Qi presented a token, and the soldiers saluted respectfully.

Lei Qi led Jiang Han towards a massive castle to the north. A squad of soldiers guarded the outside of the castle, led by a Heavenly Thunder Race Emperor-realm expert.

"Brother Qi!"

The Heavenly Thunder Race member was delighted to see Lei Qi, and he affectionately patted Lei Qi's shoulder.

Lei Qi greeted the Heavenly Thunder Race member, then introduced Jiang Han, "Lord Jiang, this is my cousin, Lei Xu."

Jiang Han nodded at Lei Xu, who curiously glanced at Jiang Han. Lei Qi didn't elaborate further and led Jiang Han into the castle.

Inside, Jiang Han met Lei Qi's fourth uncle, the commander of the Heavenly Thunder Army, Lei Qu.

Lei Qu resembled Lei Yun somewhat. His face was stern and solemn, radiating authority. Sitting there, he was like a crouching tiger.

Lei Qi and Jiang Han bowed in greeting. Lei Qi briefly explained Jiang Han's situation, also secretly transmitting a few words to Lei Qu.

Lei Qu remained expressionless. After Lei Qi finished speaking, he flashed to Jiang Han's side and placed a hand on Jiang Han's forehead, coldly saying, "Don't move!"

Jiang Han didn't dare to move. Moreover, Lei Qu was a Saint Lord-level expert. If he attacked, he would be powerless to resist.

Lei Qu's hand glowed with lightning, which directly entered Jiang Han's soul and bombarded the mark on his sea of consciousness.

A massive amount of lightning poured in continuously, constantly striking the mark. After half an hour, the mark within Jiang Han's soul was forcibly erased.

Lei Qu withdrew his hand and said, "In my Heavenly Thunder Army, you must earn everything you want. The Heavenly Thunder Army is divided into Commander, Upper General, Lower General, Grand Commander, Minor Commander, and Soldiers."

"I am the Commander of the Heavenly Thunder Army. The Upper and Lower Generals are all Heavenly Emperor Realm experts, while the Grand and Minor Commanders are all Emperor Realm experts."

"If you want to become a Commander, you must challenge three Emperor Realm experts to become a Minor Commander, and then earn military merits to be promoted to Grand Commander."

"If you want to become a General, there are two paths. The first is to become a Grand Commander, and then gradually advance through military merits. The other is to defeat three Heavenly Emperors and directly become a Lower General, and then earn military merits to advance to Upper General."

"Although you are the Young Clan Leader's friend, the military rules cannot be broken. If you want a military position, you must first prove yourself!"

Jiang Han understood. Naturally, he wanted a military position, otherwise he would be reduced to an ordinary soldier, and he would be subject to many restrictions.

Jiang Han didn't want to be restricted, and he also wanted to do well so that he could find opportunities to obtain the Divine Thunder Heart, Gale Wind Heart, and Heavenly Fire Heart in the future.

Jiang Han had a certain degree of confidence in his combat strength. He said, "Lord Lei Qu, I want to challenge three Heavenly Emperors. I want to become a Lower General!"

Lei Qu smiled and said, "Are you sure? Our Heavenly Thunder Army's Generals are all battle-hardened. They won't show mercy. If you're beaten half to death, you'll lose face, and you'll have no prestige in the Heavenly Thunder Army in the future."

Jiang Han nodded firmly, "I'm sure!"

"Lei Xu!"

Lei Qu shouted and said, "Go arrange it!"

Lei Xu went to make arrangements with a smile. Lei Qi was curious and didn't leave immediately.

He stood next to Jiang Han and said, "Lord Jiang, just admit defeat if you can't win. It's not shameful! Otherwise, if you get beaten half to death, your prestige will be greatly reduced, and it will be difficult to lead a team in the future."

Jiang Han nodded slightly. After waiting for a moment, the arrangements outside were complete. Lei Qu took the lead and walked outside, and Lei Qi and Jiang Han quickly followed.

In the middle of the valley was a huge altar. At this moment, the array base on the altar had lit up with a faint light.

Countless soldiers had already walked out of the countless barracks, probably because they had heard that Jiang Han was going to challenge them, and they all came to watch the excitement.

Lei Qu led Jiang Han and a group of guards to the outside of the altar. Lei Qu said, "All Generals, step forward!"

"Swish ~"

From several palaces, eight figures flashed and appeared in front of Lei Qu.

Lei Qu pointed to the six on the left and said, "These six are all Lower Generals. Choose three to challenge. As long as you defeat them, you will be a Lower General."

Jiang Han's gaze turned to the six Lower Generals, and he began to sense their auras.

However, relying on sensing, one couldn't sense anything from the Heavenly Emperor Realm. What unique skills they had, what powerful techniques they had, one wouldn't know without fighting.

Jiang Han could only guess randomly. He turned his gaze to a small, thin old man and said, "I'll challenge this senior first."

"Hehe!"

Lei Qu waved his hand with a forced smile, "Go!"

The skinny old man had black and white striped tattoos all over his body and a long white beard. It was unknown what race he was from.

He didn't say a word, cupped his fist at Lei Qu, and flashed onto the altar.

Jiang Han followed and rushed in. A cultivator shot out a stream of light, activating the altar's formation. A huge energy shield appeared, covering Jiang Han and the white-bearded old man.

"To dare challenge General Salu, isn't he courting death?"

"Hehe, does he think General Salu is small and easy to bully? Among the six Lower Generals, General Salu's attack power is among the top. Can his body withstand a single blow from General Salu?"

"This Human Race member doesn't seem to have a strong aura? Does he have the combat strength of a Heavenly Emperor? I don't believe it!"

"I bet he'll be defeated within three moves!"

Countless soldiers nearby immediately discussed, and many soldiers even secretly started betting, but they all unanimously bet on the white-haired, skinny old man to win…

Salu didn't waste any words. As soon as he entered, a long saber appeared in his hand. The saber was even longer than his body.

His figure was like the wind, and he swung his war saber and slashed at Jiang Han, a shocking crescent-shaped saber light whistling towards him, instantly slamming into Jiang Han's body.

At this moment, Jiang Han was like a fool, not dodging at all, allowing the saber light to slam into his body.

"Boom!"

The saber light slammed heavily into Jiang Han's body, and then Jiang Han's body was torn apart, exploding into a sky full of minced meat…
