Celestial Taoist

Chapter 12 "Random Assignment"

"I thought we could find a good seedling this time, but I didn't expect it to be a Taoist priest with maxed-out spirituality. If we don't send him to the Heavenly Dao Legion, I'm afraid we'll be skinned alive by those Taoist priests." The eagle-headed monster pretended to tremble.

The lion-headed monster also put away its smugness, and a hint of regret appeared on its face. Its light blue eyes looked at Li Mofan, and its tone was reluctant: "Young brother, with your maxed-out spirituality, you are destined to be a member of the Heavenly Dao Legion. Although our Heavenly Demon Legion also lacks talented individuals, we cannot take away those with maxed-out potential, otherwise it will cause a conflict between the two legions. We can only send you over."

The mechanical man beside him finally spoke, his tone solemn: "According to the rules of the Heavenly Punishment World, a max-level spiritual Taoist must be directly sent to the Heavenly Dao Legion for registration and cannot linger. I will activate the teleportation array now to send you to the Heavenly Dao Legion."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pressed it against the metal wall beside him. The mechanical armor in his palm lit up with light blue energy patterns, and a dark golden teleportation array instantly appeared on the ground. Pure spiritual energy flowed between the patterns, faintly resonating with the spiritual power within Li Mofan's body. The energy of this teleportation array was much gentler than the dark purple light gate that Mr. Xuan had used to teleport him before, but it was also much stronger.

"The Heavenly Dao Legion... what kind of place is that?" Li Mofan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, his eyes full of doubt.

The eagle-headed monster curled its lip, its tone tinged with resentment: "The Heavenly Dao Legion is the most outstanding emerging legion in the Heavenly Punishment World, and every member of it is a powerful Taoist."

The lion-headed monster added, "Little one, don't be afraid. The Heavenly Dao Legion's spiritual energy is the purest, making it the most suitable for your cultivation."

At that moment, the mechanical man's voice rang out again: "The teleportation array is ready."

The dark golden teleportation array on the ground shone even brighter, enveloping Li Mofan's body and making him feel completely comfortable. The lion-headed monster and the eagle-headed monster retreated, looking at Li Mofan with a hint of regret.

"Young brother, once you're in the Heavenly Dao Legion, cultivate diligently, and you might even become a core powerhouse of the Heavenly Dao Legion in the future!" the lion-headed monster shouted, his tone full of expectation.

Li Mofan nodded slightly, and was about to express his gratitude when the light of the teleportation array suddenly surged. A gentle yet powerful force enveloped him, and his body instantly became lighter. The scene before him began to blur rapidly, and the figures of the lion-headed monster, the eagle-headed monster, and the mechanical man gradually disappeared, leaving only the whistling of the wind in his ears.

In a short while, the dizziness from the teleportation dissipated, and Li Mofan slowly opened his eyes. He was in a vast plaza. The plaza was magnificent and expansive, with golden floating palaces standing in the distance. Flying eaves and banners floated between huge metal pillars, and beams of spiritual energy crisscrossed the sky.

On the square, dozens of men and women dressed in uniform gray-blue clothes stood in neat rows, each exuding an air of refinement.

"Hmm?!" Li Mofan sensed a faint aura emanating from these people, and he was both surprised and delighted. In this unfamiliar world, his own innate abilities made him feel more at ease!

At that moment, a cold and indifferent mechanical voice rang out directly in Li Mofan's mind.

[Synchronizing Heavenly Dao Legion identity data...]

Identity registration successful

A light blue interface suddenly unfolded before his eyes, displaying brand new personal data:

Talent: Taoist

Spirituality: Max level

Status: New recruit (unassigned)

Qi and blood: 86

Spiritual power: 30

Attack: 38

Defense: 42

Agility: 35

Just as he was browsing the data, a series of light and quick footsteps came from the front of the queue.

A slender and graceful figure walked slowly towards them. The woman wore a close-fitting metal armor with a silver and black tactical belt around her waist. Her long hair was tied up high, and her delicate features were perfectly positioned. Her skin was as white as snow, and her brows exuded a sharp and dignified aura.

Her epaulets bore the unique markings of a squad leader, her aura was condensed and unreleased, and her gaze swept over all the new recruits before finally settling precisely on Li Mofan, who had just completed his teleportation, in the center of the square.

Many new recruits around her quietly looked up and sized her up, their eyes filled with a mixture of awe and amazement. This female captain was already quite famous in the recruit camp.

A clear female voice slowly rang out, its calm tone resonating throughout the entire venue: "This newly recruited max-level spiritual recruit, Li Mofan, will be randomly assigned to my Qinglan Squad according to the Legion's allocation rules, and I will be fully responsible for his management."

As soon as he finished speaking, the interface of Li Mofan's quantum computer refreshed again, and a new line of binding information popped up at the top:

[Team Binding Update]

Team: Qinglan Team

Direct superior: Su Qingyao

The personal data identity section has also changed to: New Recruit (Heavenly Path Legion).

Su Qingyao walked slowly to him, her sharp eyes calmly looking him up and down, scrutinizing this rare, max-level spiritual genius. Her thin lips parted slightly:

"Now that you've joined my ranks, focus on your cultivation. Your maxed-out spirituality is the best opportunity you could have, so don't waste your potential."

Upon hearing this, Li Mofan quickly bowed slightly, his tone extremely respectful: "Thank you for your guidance, Captain Su. I will certainly live up to your expectations."

Su Qingyao nodded slightly, said nothing more, and gestured to Li Mofan: "Come with me, I'll take you to the recruits' quarters to familiarize you with the basic rules." As soon as she finished speaking, she took the lead, the metallic patterns on her armor gleaming faintly in the sunlight.

Li Mofan quickly followed.

The recruits' quarters were a neat, standard-style barracks with blue brick floors and roofs inlaid with energy-gathering glazed tiles.

Su Qingyao stopped and pointed to a barracks in the corner: "You are the only new recruit this time, so you can stay in this barracks. There is a sensor at the door that can be connected to the personal computer to record your accommodation information. You can check the information about what new recruits should do on your personal computer."

Li Mofan quickly bowed and replied, "Yes, Captain, I've got it." He was slightly surprised, not expecting that he was the only new recruit this time.

Su Qingyao nodded slightly, indicating that he should go to the barracks on his own. However, her gaze lingered on him for a moment longer, and her tone remained calm: "After you have finished tidying up the barracks, go to the small cultivation room at the back of the barracks."

Li Mofan was taken aback, and quickly looked up: "Captain Su, is there anything I can do for you in the training room?"

Su Qingyao didn't say it explicitly, but simply added, "The cultivation room is not open to the public today. You'll find out when you get there. Your spiritual talent is special, so it's crucial to build a solid foundation. Don't waste your time, and there's no need to make a fuss. Just abide by the legion's rules."

After saying that, she turned and left, the metallic patterns on her close-fitting armor flashing in the sunlight, leaving behind a graceful silhouette, without lingering any longer.
