The Good For Nothing Young Lady's Otherworldly Domination Chapter 28

Chapter 28 - Becoming a Mercenary

"Little girls, are you here to ask questions on behalf of someone else? You should let them come here themselves." Said the young clerk when he saw Lin Haoxue. He thought she was beautiful and polite, so he spoke amiably.

"But we're already here?" Lin Haoxue blinked her eyes charmingly.

"Don't tell me that you guys are here to become a mercenary?" He surprisingly looked at Lin Haoxue and Shen Molian while wondering what on earth was going on? How could such young kids pa.s.s the test to become a mercenary?
"Yep, we want to apply." Lin Haoxue said with certainty.

"You want to apply to become a mercenary at such a young age, could it be that you guys have extraordinary occupations?" The young man asked.

Most people in this world were Profound cultivators, but there was another more n.o.ble and respected occupation: incantation experts. Incantation experts could specialize in many different areas such as artifact forging and pill refining, and these subdivisions of incantation experts occupations were all referred to as extraordinary occupations.

The young clerk didn't think that she had a deep cultivation base when he saw how young these two were. So in his subconscious, he thought that she had to have an extraordinary occupation.

"No, we are profound cultivators." Lin Haoxue smiled as usual, and asked him politely: "How do we become mercenaries?"

"Well, you need to go to the back of the hall and have your profound power tested. As long as you have reached the Profound Master realm, you will be qualified to become a mercenary." After all, this young clerk had a lot of work experiences so, he already calmed down.

"Then please take us to take the testing area!"

"Sure, follow me." The young man looked at Lin Haoxue and Shen Molian, then shook his head. He then turned around to lead the way as they followed.

Actually their actions could be considered as cutting in line, but since those people who were waiting were all curious if they could actually become real mercenaries so n.o.body complained about it.

The young man led them to the back of the hall. The room here was smaller than the front hall, but it wasn't too small. Compared to the front hall, here there were obviously way more furnis.h.i.+ng near the back.

The most eye-catching thing here was the ma.s.sive crystal monument in the center of the hall.

When Lin Haoxue entered, the first thing she saw was the crystal monument. This was the artifact used for testing one's profound power. This kind of monument, Lin Haoxue had already seen three times. Except that its color was dark red while everything else about this monument was the same as the one in Profound Pract.i.tioner Academy. It was divided into seven big lattices, and each big lattice has three smaller lattices. The corresponding profound power ranks were the seven major realms subdivided into early, middle, and late-stage.

In front of the profound power monument were five desks and chairs, and there were five elders who were around fifty to sixty years old sitting there. They were talking with each other and were probably the examiners.

"Elder He, these two are here to take the mercenary entrance exam." The young man bowed and spoke respectfully to the green-clothed white-beared elder.

Lin Haoxue noticed that this man in green seemed like an elder if you were to just look at his hair, but when you saw his face, he looked quite young. There weren't any wrinkles present on his face, but, since he was called Elder He, he shouldn't be very young.

Hearing the young clerk speak, the elder in green turned his head around to look at Lin Haoxue and Shen Molian. When he saw Lin Haoxue and Shen Molian, he thought that they didn't even look fifteen years old. The elder was a little surprised since most people who came to apply for the mercenary exam were mostly men and only sometimes were there women. But even then when women applied, they were almost all over twenty years old. This was the first time he had seen such young girls trying to apply.

But since the elder in green clothing played a critical role here at the Mercenary Labor Union he had very strong inner qualities, and therefore, he soon suppressed his surprise and asked in a low voice, "You're here to take the mercenary exam?"

"Yes, senior." Lin Haoxue took a look at Shen Molian then stepped up after seeing that she didn't have any reaction. She responded politely, "We're here to enroll in the mercenary union."

"Do you know what you have to have to become a mercenary?"

"Yes, we know." Lin Haoxue said, "If we don't have extraordinary occupations then our profound power has at least be at the Profound Master realm."

"Then do you have an extraordinary occupation?"

"No."

"Alright, go up and let's test your profound power."

"Ok."

Lin Haoxue went up and put her hands in the right place on the profound power monument as she was extremely familiar with this action. Afterwards, she glanced at Shen Molian and urged her light elemental profound power to flow into the profound power monument.

An intense beam of light shone outwards and it was exceptional eye-catching even though it was daytime.

"What? Light elemental profound veins!" The five examiners stood up immediately with astonishment on their faces when they saw the element of Lin Haoxue's profound power.

There were nine kinds of elemental profound veins in the world, and the rarest and most useful profound veins were the light and dark elementals. The light elemental was strong at purifying, treating, and attacking while the dark elemental had amazing corroding powers and was extremely strong at attacking. Certainly, gold and wood elemental profound veins were also rare, but they were more effective when used for support. They could a.s.sist other profound cultivators' cultivation speeds, however, their attack power wasn't very strong. 

When Lin Haoxue's light elemental appeared, it immediately caught these examiners' attention. The five of them all stared intensely at the light elemental profound power which was slowly rising up the profound power monument. 

That light rapidly rose up and quickly surpa.s.sed the bottom-most big lattice and then headed up into the second big lattice above it. 

"Unexpectedly, she really is a Profound Pract.i.tioner!" Seeing Lin Haoxue's profound power reach up to the Profound Pract.i.tioner realm, these five examiners couldn't help but be relieved since a light elemental Profound Pract.i.tioner was hard to come by. Since her elemental type was so rare, they really hoped that they could recruit Lin Haoxue into their Mercenary Labor Union. However, the minimum realm to join their group was the Profound Master realm, therefore if Lin Haoxue's cultivation wasn't enough then they couldn't break their rules to accept her, but then again, the Mercenary Labor Union had already...

However, what made them even more surprised was that Lin Haoxue's profound power didn't stop rising at the second lowest lattice; instead, it kept going up and broke through into the third big lattice from the bottom. It kept rising until it trembled a little then finally stopped in the middle section of the third lattice.

"Unexpectedly, she is a Middle-stage Profound Grand Master realm cultivator… Yet she only seems to be around eleven or twelve years old?" One of the examiners couldn't repress his emotions and blurted out.

In general, cultivators at her age were around the Profound Pract.i.tioner realm therefore, Lin Haoxue who had already broken into the Profound Master realm was definitely an amazing genius. Where did this little monster come from? Unexpectedly, she had reached the Profound Grand Master realm!
The calmest person present was Shen Molian. When she saw Lin Haoxue finish her test, she went up and poured in her profound power as well.

Those examiners hadn't recovered from the shock of seeing Lin Haoxue's talent when they were shocked by Shen Molian's cultivation causing them to almost fell off their chairs. 

A dark profound power rapidly flew up from the very bottom big lattice on the profound power monument and then entered into the second big lattice from the bottom. When it reached the second big lattice it didn't stop, instead, it directly rose up to the third big lattice finally stopping at the very top of it.

Obviously, she had dark elemental profound veins and was a Late-stage Profound Grand Master realm cultivator.

Now those examiners no longer looked at them with surprise, but instead with joy. Light elemental and dark elemental were very rare elementals, but they had actually appeared to their surprise in their Mercenary Labor Union. Furthermore, these two people had such a rapid cultivation speed, this was a great blessing for their Mercenary Labor Union right now.

Thinking of this, these examiners looked at Lin Haoxue and Shen Molian with extreme satisfaction as if they were looking at rare treasures.

"Senior, did we pa.s.s the exam?" Seeing the expression on their face, Lin Haoxue and Shen Molian looked at each other with a smile as they asked.

"Of course, of course, you guys pa.s.sed." The green-clothed elder looked at them amiably as they were the saviors of their Mercenary Labor Union then he said, "Let me get your badges."

Soon, the green-clothed elder took out two small badges. The badges were smaller than an inch and had two crossed swords painted on them. He pa.s.sed the two badges to Lin Haoxue and Shen Molian. Afterwards, he reminded both of them, "Each big town in the Wuhuan Empire has branches of the Mercenary Labor Union. You can accept missions in any of these towns, and you'll be able to get any help you need at a Mercenary Labor Union. But, after half a year, both of you need to come back here, this Mercenary Labor Union branch will need your help as well." 

"Ok, at that time we'll be back." Lin Haoxue responded naturally. 

After saying goodbye to several elders, Lin Haoxue and Shen Molian left the back hall of the Mercenary Labor Union.

When they returned to the front hall, they immediately caused huge waves. 

Those people who waited in line all looked at the badges on Lin Haoxue and Shen Molian's chests, and when they saw the two small swords, they were all shocked. They had not only become mercenaries, but they had even reached the second level! They had exceeded every person present!

Mercenaries in the Wuhuan Empire were divided into six levels. The first level was the lowest but had the most amount of people. The second level was relatively rare not to mention those who at or above the third level. So far, the highest level of mercenary was the fifth level, and it is said that there were only six people at this rank. As for sixth level mercenaries, it seemed that they didn't exist as to be such a rank one need to reach the Profound Immortal realm.

With those astonished look at their back, Lin Haoxue and Shen Molian left the Mercenary Labor Union.

"We're mercenaries now." While walking out of the gate of the Mercenary Labor Union, they played with their mercenary badges, and Lin Haoxue felt it was something new and interesting.

"What are we gonna do next?" 
"Let's return to the academy. We'll talk about it after we hand in the mission."

"Ok!"

The two of them decided to go back to the academy to hand over the mission.
