Dragon Guard Office, the stationed place of the Black Dragon Guard in the Ninth City.

Unlike the Dragon Guard Camp, the Dragon Guard Office not only has ordinary soldiers and low-tier officers below the rank of Chiliarch, but also high-tier officers above the rank of Chiliarch.

Moreover, after thousands of years of accumulation, the number of Black Dragon Guards in the Dragon Guard Office has probably reached an extremely terrifying level.

Especially those who have survived on the Outer Battlefield for over a hundred years, each one of them is an exceedingly powerful warrior.

It must be understood that every person who joins the Black Dragon Guard is a top genius from the Five Domains of Yun Province, with many being unrivaled prodigies.

They have been fighting evil demons on the Outer Battlefield for many years, and the merits they have achieved can be measured in astronomical numbers.

The treasure resources exchanged for these merits allow them to quickly enhance their cultivation power. Once they become stronger, they can obtain even more merits.

It can be imagined that those who have survived on the Outer Battlefield for dozens or even hundreds of years now possess immensely high cultivation power.

Some even speculate that within the Outer Battlefield, there must be several in the Pocket World Realm, and the appearance of those in the Celestial Monarch Realm is not out of the question.

Upon following Lei Xing into the Dragon Guard Office, everyone discovered that the interior space of the Dragon Guard Office is even larger than it appears from the outside.

At this time, at least tens of thousands of people were gathered in the main hall of the Dragon Guard Office, most of whom were Black Dragon Guards, with some being common martial cultivators yet to join the Black Dragon Guard.

Immediately thereafter, everyone noticed that the majority were gathered under a gigantic Jade Disc.

At the very top of this Jade Disc were three words glowing with golden light — Merit List.

Clearly, this Jade Disc recorded the number of merits obtained by each individual and their respective rankings.

Wang Ruoxie and others also stepped toward the huge Jade Disc, raised their heads, and immediately saw names glowing faintly on the Merit List.

After each name, there was also a number.

"First place, Jing Wuming, nine hundred and thirty-six million two thousand seven hundred points of merit."

"Second place, Huang Feilong, nine hundred and twenty-three million six thousand one hundred points of merit."

"Third place, Duan Hui, nine hundred and twelve million three thousand five hundred points of merit."

...

"One thousandth place, Hu Qing, three hundred and fifty-seven million two thousand six hundred and twenty-one points of merit."

...

"Ten thousandth place, Zhou Dongyang, thirty-five million two thousand seven hundred and twenty-three points of merit."

...

"One hundred thousandth place, Yu Qi, seven million two thousand one hundred and sixty-five points of merit."

...

"One millionth place, Liu Heng, three hundred and seventy-two thousand seven hundred and twenty points of merit."

...

"Nine million two hundred seventy-one thousand eight hundred sixty-fifth place, Hua Peng, three thousand two hundred eleven points of merit."

Seeing the dense names on this Jade Disc, the newly joined members of the Black Dragon Guard couldn't help but gasp.

Even though they were mentally prepared, they were still shocked. From the rankings on this Jade Disc, the Outer Battlefield has at least nine million two hundred seventy-one thousand eight hundred sixty-five talented warriors.

It must be noted that these are only people who joined the Black Dragon Guard or other armies of the Nine Provinces.

There must also be many geniuses who didn't join the army, and their numbers might be even higher.

"So many genius warriors, yet after thousands of years of bloody battles, couldn't completely exterminate the evil demons or even drive them back to the Evil Land. This suggests that the number of evil demons is far greater than assumed."

Wang Ruoxie's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking to himself.

Nearly a hundred million soldiers from the Nine Provinces, plus potentially more freelance martial cultivators, could barely contend with the armies of evil demons. This proves that these evil demons possess unimaginable power and numbers.

However, for him, this is not bad news, as long as he progresses steadily, he will surely be able to restore his cultivation power to the peak of the Celestial Monarch Realm in the shortest time, or even surpass his past, entering the Celestial Emperor Realm.

Subsequently, from the conversations around him, Wang Ruoxie learned the specific details of exchanging merit for treasure resources.

Having won the Eastern Domain Trial Tournament, he was awarded one thousand points of merit, and after passing the second layer of the Ninth Tower, he accumulated a total of one thousand two hundred seventy points of merit.

But these one thousand two hundred seventy points of merit can only be exchanged for at most one hundred and twenty Pure Yang Pills, or a top-grade Earth Artifact, or some top-grade Earth Tier Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Given his current cultivation, one hundred twenty Pure Yang Pills would hardly make a noticeable impact since his cultivation difficulty far exceeds that of his peers, requiring dozens or even hundreds of times the cultivation resources of an average person.

If he wanted to leverage Pure Yang Pills to break into the Acupoint Condensation Realm, he would need at least ten thousand pills, meaning he would need to earn at least one hundred thousand merit points to exchange for enough Pure Yang Pills to attempt breaking through to the Acupoint Condensation Realm.

As for top-grade Earth Artifacts and top-grade Earth Tier cultivation resources, they are not essential for him at the moment, so he doesn't plan to use the one thousand two hundred seventy merit points immediately.

"I've read the latest issue of the Jiuzhou Chronicles, which mentions that the top ten on the Merit List are separately known as the Three Great Venerables and the Seven Great Kings."

Just then, someone said.

"I've seen it too. It's said that Jing Wuming, Huang Feilong, and Duan Hui, the Three Great Venerables, all possess extremely powerful special physiques, and the seven kings behind them also possess extraordinary special physiques."

Another person commented.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes flickered with interest. The Three Great Venerables, Seven Great Kings, it seems that the Outer Battlefield is an even more exciting place than they imagined.

"These are your Identity Jade Plates. They not only record your position but also tally the merits you gain when hunting evil demons."

At this moment, Lei Xing, who had temporarily left, once again appeared in front of Wang Ruoxie and the others, handing out palm-sized Jade Talismans to them.

"Position: Chiliarch, Merit: One thousand two hundred seventy points."

Wang Ruoxie took the Jade Talisman and infused it with his Divine Thought, immediately receiving this information.

"I have also arranged your accommodations. After you enter the residential area, you can use your Identity Jade Plates to sense the location of your residence."

Lei Xing smiled at everyone and continued.

Pausing, he further said, "Now, I'll take you to the prisoner camp to see what those evil demons from the Evil Land are like."

Upon hearing Lei Xing's words, everyone showed signs of excitement and anticipation. Although they had heard many stories about evil demons, none of them had ever seen a real one.

Even Wang Ruoxie felt a sense of anticipation at the moment, not because he was curious about the appearance of the evil demons, but because he wanted to find out if he could devour the essence blood of the evil demons.
