I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 1076: Chapter 674: Breakthrough for All

When Qin Tian returned to the valley, Ran Tu’s Heart Demon Tribulation had already ended.

The White Tiger General stood proudly in the center of the valley, wielding the Heaven-piercing Halberd, exuding the aura of a Tier Seven powerhouse. That aura was robust and fierce, like a freshly unsheathed sharp blade, showing its edge without any concealment.

The remnants of the fiery clouds in the valley were still dissipating slowly at the horizon, casting the last orange glow on him, highlighting his resolute face.

His tiger eyes were even brighter than before, with shadows of thunder and flames entwined deep in his pupils, marks left by the Celestial Human Three Tribulations on his soul.

The moment he saw Qin Tian, Ran Tu immediately put away the Heaven-piercing Halberd, clasped his fists, and bowed deeply to Qin Tian.

"Thank you, Military Lord, for your years of nurturing! From now on, Ran Tu will not betray your trust and will swear loyalty unto death!"

His voice was deep and sonorous, carrying an almost devout solemnity. For the proud General of the Golden Family to say such words, it was evident how much excitement and gratitude overflowed from his heart.

For Ran Tu, joining Ice Extreme Pass could be said to be a significant turning point in his life.

He gained fame as a youth, born into the Golden Family, with extraordinary talent, quickly advancing to Major General and reaching Peak Tier Six, leading the White Tiger Legion.

Among his peers, few could rival him.

It could be said that his life’s trajectory had always been an ever-upward straight line, with no setbacks, no valleys, only flowers and applause.

However, after that, everything stagnated.

His strength, rank, and army’s development were all stuck at Peak Tier Six, unable to move forward.

The once-ever-advancing Ran Tu seemed to have been paused, watching those behind him catch up one by one, yet he could only tread in place.

That feeling deeply pained and confused him.

He did not know if his future would end there, nor did he know if the chasm between Tier Six and Tier Seven would be his life’s endpoint.

Especially when he heard that several others with talents equal to his had all fallen on their paths to Tier Seven. His heart even flickered with an unprecedented fear.

Fear.

For him, it was an utter disgrace.

As a descendant of the Ran Family, a Royal Major General, having traversed the battlefield for over a decade, coming and going freely between life and death, how could he feel fear?

However, at that moment of confusion, he indeed doubted himself.

He doubted whether he was qualified to pursue Tier Seven, whether he could survive the Celestial Human Three Tribulations, whether he was worthy of his ancestor’s glory.

Yet, everything changed after joining Ice Extreme Pass.

To be honest, when he learned that his White Tiger Legion was to be merged into Ice Extreme Pass, and he had to follow the orders of another younger Major General, it was impossible not to feel any resistance.

However, firstly, the transfer order was issued by the Military Department, its promoter being none other than Marshal Lin, whom he regarded as the "Military God". As a soldier, obeying orders was his duty, leaving no room for resistance.

Secondly, his family had thoroughly prepared him mentally.

It was then he learned that the Lord of Ice Extreme Pass, his future superior General Qin Tian, was a legendary figure who had slain Tier Seven Holy Blood.

Working under such a person seemed not to entail any grievances.

Later, he became even more certain of this.

The Military Lord accorded him full respect and trust, without any hindrances in directing the White Tiger Legion, and no spies were installed.

What astonished him even more, the Military Lord’s generosity exceeded his expectations.

Not only him, but also the commanders of the White Tiger Legion, and even the ordinary soldiers received resources several times what they had before each month.

Moreover, they acquired Armed Armor not available elsewhere, weapons awakened with spirituality, and Little Pollo, which could protect their soul.

Even though his Spiritual Ability Level hadn’t improved much, his actual combat strength increased several times from before.

Besides, the White Tiger Legion took advantage of the development tide of Mingwang Planet to complete a grand expansion. New recruits consistently flowed in, never lacking equipment and resources. His troops were more than doubled, renewing the entire legion.

And upon entering the Celestial Stele Secret Realm, good tidings followed one another.

First, bathing in the Pillar Stele Light enhanced his bloodline, physique, soul, and spiritual energy, indicating a loosening of the bottleneck that had stagnated him for years.

Today, under the protection of the Military Lord, he smoothly passed the once-dreaded Celestial Human Three Tribulations, successfully advancing to Tier Seven.

Reflecting on his journey after joining Ice Extreme Pass, he received so much.

All those problems that once made him confused, pained, and fearful were completely resolved.

Everything he has now is inseparable from Ice Extreme Pass as a platform and the nurturing of the Military Lord.

He felt he owed a lifelong debt to repay such kindness.

Qin Tian patted Ran Tu’s shoulder, a meaningful smile on his lips: "No need for loyalty unto death. As long as I am here, none of you will die."

Ran Tu slightly bowed his head. He did not understand the Reincarnation Lamp’s power, so he was not aware of the weight of Qin Tian’s words.

But regardless, he had made up his mind—for the future, his life belonged to the Military Lord.

"Who’s next?"
