Aura Revival: A Sniper Shot at the Start

Year 946 of the Great Xia calendar.

The world has undergone drastic changes this year. The spiritual energy that had disappeared before has gradually reappeared, and at the same time, people's talents in cultivation have gradually become apparent.

Countries around the world are all making their own calculations.

But just as the world was making its own plans for this sudden upheaval, an accident happened.

An army of monsters appeared out of nowhere and suddenly appeared in the Beiyang Ocean, launching an attack on human cities.

The human casualties were heavy.

With the concerted efforts of countries around the world, the monster's attack was temporarily resisted.

Humans and monsters are locked in a long war.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed.

During this century, humans have lost many cities and eliminated many monsters, but the number of monsters has not decreased.

……

Youzhou City.

The capital of the Great Xia Kingdom.

Here, the most elite Youzhou army is guarding Youzhou to ensure that it will not be invaded by monsters.

This is the last line of defense of the Great Xia Kingdom. Once Youzhou disappears, it means that the Great Xia Kingdom will no longer exist.

In the slums of Youzhou City, in a room built with a few wooden boards.

A young man was waving a long sword in his hand.

The long sword in the boy's hand was similar to the one used in the wars of the last century, and the handle had been polished to a shine.

Every strike of the sword made a sound of breaking through the air. This was the result of the combination of the boy's strength and speed. A first-level warrior required the strength of a horse. To achieve the strength of a horse might be very easy for other people, but for him, it was extremely difficult.

The reason is because he is a waste.

Squeak.

The door was pushed open, and Chen Ningyun, who was dressed simply and had an ordinary appearance and was about forty years old, saw the sweaty boy with tenderness and love in his eyes.

"Son, take a rest."

"Mom, I'm not tired."

The young man shook his head and continued to swing the long sword in his hand with gritted teeth without stopping for a moment.

"Son, you will be drafted into the army tomorrow, so you can take a day off today and spend some time with your mother."

Hearing this, the boy paused for a moment, put away his long sword, turned around and looked at his mother, nodded, and said apologetically: "Mom, I have been preparing to join the army recently and forgot to accompany you. Today I will listen to you. I will listen to whatever you say."

As he said this, he put down the long knife, walked to his mother, held her rough hands, and said.

"Okay, that's good."

The boy's name is Li Beicang and he is only eighteen years old.

There is a law in the Great Xia Kingdom that all men over the age of 18 must join the army. Li Beicang's father died in the army when he was eight years old, leaving behind his mother and son.

The mother and son's life is particularly hard in this era when talented people are emerging in large numbers.

Otherwise they wouldn't be living in slums.

"Mom, I will definitely join the Youzhou Army." Li Beicang pulled his mother to sit down, holding her hand tightly, with a firm look in his eyes.

In fact, the requirements for conscription into the army are not high. As long as you have the strength of a first-level warrior, it is enough.

But the army that Li Beicang wanted to join was the Youzhou Army.

As the last line of defense guarding Youzhou City, the Youzhou Army has extremely high recruitment standards.

For an ordinary person like him who has no talent for cultivation, it is extremely difficult to pass the assessment.

Li Beicang prepared for this for nearly ten years.

During these ten years, he has been working hard and never dared to stop for a moment.

This is how he has now barely reached the strength of a first-level warrior. But even so, it is nothing but a pipe dream to want to pass the assessment of the Youzhou Army.

Tomorrow is the time for conscription into the army.

When Chen Ningyun heard this, he smiled and nodded, touched Li Beicang's head beside him, his eyes full of worry.

Conscription into the military meant danger.

If it were in the past, it would be fine, but the world now is no longer the same as before.

There are dangers everywhere.

Those terrible monsters have not decreased in number, but have shown an increasing trend.

If your son joins the army, it means there is a possibility that he will go to the battlefield.

Chen Ningyun's heart ached whenever she thought of that scene.

"Brother Bei Cang, Brother Bei Cang."

Just as the mother and son were thinking about their own things, a young man's voice was heard from outside the door, shouting Li Beicang's name.

Li Beicang heard the voice of the boy outside the door, let go of his mother's hand, stood up and opened the door. Seeing Li Han outside the door, he made a gesture to silence him and whispered, "What's the matter?"

Just as Li Han was about to speak, he heard Chen Ningyun say from inside the room: "Xiao Han, come in."

"Okay, Aunt Yun."

Li Han heard Chen Ningyun's voice in the house, smiled at Li Beicang, and flashed into the house.

Once you enter the house, don't consider yourself an outsider at all.

He took the half apple handed to him by Chen Ningyun, said thank you, and swallowed it in two or three gulps.

"Beicang, treat Xiaohan well. I'll go cook for you."

Chen Ningyun smiled as she watched Li Han wolfing down his food, patted Li Beicang on the shoulder, and walked out.

Li Beicang was speechless as he looked at the rude Li Han.

Li Han and he have been friends since childhood. They have been like brothers since childhood, fighting together and spending money together.

After Chen Ningyun left, Li Han, who was still laughing just now, put away the smile on his face and looked at Li Beicang in front of him: "Brother Beicang, we will be conscripted into the army tomorrow, how are you preparing?"

"Don't worry, I'm ready!"

Li Beicang nodded heavily, clenched his fists, and said with a firm look in his eyes.

“Brother Beicang…” Li Han glanced outside the door and saw that Chen Ningyun did not appear. He continued in a low voice: “Brother Beicang, I have found a connection that can allow you to join the Youzhou Army, but…”

"But what?"

Hearing that he could join the Youzhou Army, Li Beicang was excited and couldn't help but ask.

Li Han saw the hope in Li Beicang's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said: "But... it's the hot spot." After saying that, his face was full of embarrassment.

The fire head?

How could Li Beicang not know this name? Not to mention him, even ordinary people would know where this place is.

To put it bluntly, cooking.

"Brother Bei Cang, don't refuse yet, just listen to me."

Seeing that Li Beicang wanted to refuse, Li Han hurriedly said: "Brother Beicang, you know what the requirements of the Youzhou Army are. You..." At this point, Li Han paused, then gritted his teeth and continued: "With your strength, it is absolutely impossible for you to join the Youzhou Army."

"The biggest chance is that you'll be sent to the border."

After hearing this, Li Beicang's mouth was filled with bitterness.

Sent to the border...

If he is sent to the border, he will be cannon fodder.

The end result is that you become food for those monsters.

The fire head...

Never mind, that’s fine too.

It's better than becoming cannon fodder.

At night, Li Beicang lay on his simple bed, still feeling somewhat unwilling in his heart. But when he thought of his own strength, he could only sigh heavily and give up.

It is better to live a miserable life than to die, so let’s just stay in the fire.

"Energy absorption complete, transformation complete, system activated."
