Fang Yun had long judged that Ao Zhen was competitive when he was alive, and after his death, he would definitely not be resigned to his fate and would definitely find a corpse to strengthen himself. After so many years of nourishment in the Dragon Soul World, it would not be surprising for Ao Zhen to be promoted to a Great Sage.
Among the three places, the Equatorial Ring, the Arctic Sky City and the Great Sea Vortex, the Equatorial Ring is in outer space and is not included in the Dragon Soul Battlefield.
The Arctic Sky City is the center of the entire outer city and is also where the fighting is most intense.
As for the sea vortex, it is a pure semi-saint battlefield, with almost no non-semi-saints present.
Therefore, Fang Yun chose the Zhulong Mountains as his first stop, even though he knew that there were dragon saints in the Arctic Sky City and the Sea Vortex, he would not go there to join them.
However, precisely because Ao Zhen is ferocious and warlike, battles in the Zhulong Mountains are extremely frequent. This is the only flaw, but it is much safer than the Arctic Sky City or the Great Sea Vortex.
This is not the final option, but it is definitely the best option at the beginning.
This Dragon City was originally the place that Fang Yun had always dreamed of. Long before he learned that Dragon City might be opened, Fang Yun began to prepare. Some of the actions in the Holy Burial Valley were also for Dragon City.
The two men walked to the outside of the Zhulong Hall, and Fang Yun got off the Wuhou carriage, stepped on Pingbu Qingyun, and followed behind the Black Dragon Emperor.
The Zhulong Hall was built on the forehead of the Zhulong. It is made entirely of bronze metal. It has a simple style and many very primitive decorations, making it look particularly wild and rugged.
On both sides of the hall, there is a war chess piece, and on the war flag is the front view of Ao Zhen’s dragon head.
Unlike ordinary dragons, both of its horns are broken. Although this affects its appearance, it also makes it look more ferocious.
The Zhulong Hall is a thousand feet high, like a small city. There are no aquatic creatures guarding the entrance. Anyone who has important business can enter.
Fang Yun walked into the hall and looked forward.
Then I saw a huge green dragon coiled in the depths of the hall, dozing off and snoring with a deafening sound, like thunder, rumbling continuously.
There were scars all over the body of this green dragon. Only the roots of its two horns were left, its left nostril was separated by a scar, and there were three obvious scratches on its forehead.
The body of the green dragon is like a battlefield, a medal, and a monument.
This green dragon was just coiled up, and it was three hundred feet high, like a mountain.
The Black Dragon Emperor simply bowed and said, "Commander Ao Zhen, Wen Xing Long Jue, who holds the two dragon seals, has come to help. He is of noble status, so I came to visit you specially."
"Oh?" Ao Zhen, who was sleeping with his head down, slowly raised his head and opened his bright eyes. The vast dragon power surged in the hall like a tide.
Fang Yun instinctively released the dragon's might and barely blocked it.
There was no emotion in Ao Zhen's eyes, only the indifference and severity of a commander of a large army.
Fang Yun took out the two dragon seals. Ao Zhen took a look at them, nodded, and said, "Although this Saint does not know your origins, you are the one who was canonized by the Dragon Court, so it must be true. However, since you are under this Saint's command, everything should be done according to this Saint's rules!"
"I understand." Fang Yun nodded slightly.
"Very good. Ao Tu, take him to the Military Academy to register his identity, and follow the Dragon Clan's rules. Go down."
After Ao Zhen finished speaking, he closed his eyes, lowered his head and continued to doze off.
After Fang Yun and Ao Tu saluted, they left the Zhulong Hall and headed for the military academy.
The Dragon Clan has a military hall in charge of military affairs, and each war zone has a military academy. One of the responsibilities of the military academy is to record military merits.
A man and a dragon arrived at the military academy. The head of the academy was a giant turtle demon king, who was over thirty feet long, carrying a huge black turtle shell on his back, and looked silly.
After Ao Tu explained his purpose, the turtle clan demon king hurriedly said, "Guiling greets Shangguan."
Fang Yun nodded and said, "No need to be polite, just enter it normally."
Gui Ling stopped being polite and thought for a moment before saying, "Reporting to the superior, you have no record of military merit in the local military academy. Logically, you can only start as an ordinary soldier. However, you are a Wenxing Longjue, so according to the rules, you can directly skip the ordinary military merit accumulation and directly obtain the tenth-class military rank. Start accumulating military merit from the tenth-class military rank, and the highest is the first-class military rank."
Fang Yun asked: "What rank is Commander Ao Zhen?"
Gui Ling said proudly: "Commander Ao Zhen is the best among the semi-saints. He was a second-class military rank long ago. Some ordinary semi-saints are only fourth-class military rank."
"What are the benefits of being a high military lord?"
Gui Ling smiled and said, "There are too many benefits. First of all, the higher the military rank, the greater the power. A high military rank can even directly deprive the generals of the lower two ranks of military power. The second point is that you can exchange military merit for various treasures. If you have enough military merit, you can even directly exchange for ancestral treasures and the true blood of the ancestral dragon. The third point is additional privileges, such as going to some holy places to practice. In short, as long as you have enough military merit, you can do whatever you want, even becoming the lord of Dragon City is possible. You should know that the ranking of Dragon City has always been calculated according to military merit."
Fang Yun nodded slightly.
Ao Tu said at the side: "Guiling, this person is from above. He may have military merits in Longting. You can check the military merit book of Longting."
Fang Yun knew that Ao Tu meant well, but he felt a little embarrassed. His title of Wenxing Dragon was obtained from the outside world, not a real title bestowed by the Dragon Court. It was impossible for him to have any military merits in the Dragon Court.
Gui Ling held the official seal in his hand and searched for his military merits while saying, "Your Excellency is only a Great Dragon King of the Fifth Realm, not yet a Dragon Emperor. Your position is high but your actual merits are low. Even if you have military merits in the Dragon Court, they should not be many. Moreover, Dragon City has been independent for many years. Even if you have made merits in the outside world and recorded them in the Dragon Court, once they are transferred to the Military Palace, only one out of ten will be taken. What's more, ordinary military merits are different from merits for titles. Killing an emperor will only earn you a little military merit for a title. To be promoted from the tenth military rank to the ninth rank requires a full ten thousand military merits. Once you die in battle and are resurrected, your military merits will be reduced to one tenth..."
Gui Ling suddenly shut up and stood there in a daze.
Ao Tu asked hurriedly: "Guiling, why are you silent?"
Gui Ling forced a very ugly smile at Fang Yun and said, "I didn't know how powerful your majesty is, so I offended you just now. I will help you convert your military merits and put them into your Erlong Seal later."
Ao Tu was stunned and looked at Fang Yun in surprise, his eyes turning slightly.
Fang Yun didn't know where his military merits came from, he just coughed and said, "You must check carefully. If the military merits don't match, I won't be responsible."
Gui Ling hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I will check again and contact Long Ting, and I will never let you lose any military merit."
After a while, Gui Ling smiled and said, "Longting has confirmed that there is no problem with your military merit. I will convert it for you right away."
Soon, Fang Yun sensed that there was something extra in his Erlong Jade Seal. After a quick inspection, he found it unbelievable.
Gui Ling smiled and said, "Congratulations, sir, on your promotion to the seventh rank of military rank."
Ao Tu was stunned. This meant that Fang Yun's military merits were at least the sixth rank, but after being converted here, it was only the seventh rank.
In the entire Zhulong Mountain Range, except for Dragon Saint Ao Zhen, the highest rank is only an eighth-rank military rank!
Fang Yun did not show any joy on his face, but was wondering whether he would be executed in the Dragon Soul World for falsely claiming military merit.
