Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming
Chapter 956 - 448: Armies Face Off, Ghost God Possession [Please Subscribe]

The Heavenly Spirit Legion's rewards for soldiers killing enemies and exorcising demons have always been divided into two parts.

One part is physical rewards, such as how many Spirit Coins are awarded for the head of a Demon Cultivator at the Initial Stage of Foundation Establishment, and how many for a Middle Stage Purple Mansion Demon Cultivator.

The other part consists of Battle Merits, which are also distributed based on the strength of the slain Demon Cultivators.

Physical rewards are fixed unless there is a special bounty for notorious Demon Cultivators like the "Seven Primordial Demons"; otherwise, there won't be any changes.

But Battle Merits are not entirely fixed.

Because if one wins a battle, there is often an extra reward of Battle Merits.

And the fewer the casualties on one's side, the higher this extra reward of Battle Merits!

Also, as in the case of Zhou Chun and his team this time, finding and annihilating Demon Cultivator squads that had infiltrated their territory would yield corresponding additional Battle Merits.

Lastly, as the commander, one would receive extra Battle Merit rewards in addition to those earned from killing enemies.

So when the staff from the Reward and Merit Office delivered the record of merits to him, Zhou Chun had a total of eight physical rewards, mainly from the Enchantment Valley Witch he had killed and the other seven Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators that his Thunder Python Baibai had slain.

However, his total Battle Merits were nearly twice the number of enemies he had killed!

These extra Battle Merits were all additional rewards.

Apart from Zhou Chun, both deputy commanders and other soldiers also received varying amounts of additional boosts to their Battle Merits, just not as exaggerated as his.

As for physical rewards, they were not distributed directly but were registered with the Reward and Merit Office; those who wanted to claim them could do so at certain large military stations by presenting their personal identity tokens.

The physical reward for the Middle Stage Purple Mansion Witch that Zhou Chun had killed was 20,000 Spirit Coins. He couldn't be bothered to collect it, so he let it sit there for now.

At the same time, the news of Zhou Chun's great victory in his initial command spread far and wide, deliberately promoted by the Green Lotus Temple and Moon Wheel Sect.

This victory silenced many who still doubted the veracity of Zhou Chun's slaying of the Corpse Fiend General Jiang Zhong.

Although discerning individuals knew that Zhou Chun's victory in his first command must have been facilitated by some forces,

Which of the "Seven heroes of the Heavenly Spirit" did not have the support of powers?

As long as the promotion and maneuvering were within the rules, it was entirely reasonable and legitimate.

And Zhou Chun had indeed won the battle, with his military achievements not falsified in any way.

"So that man is the one who killed Jiang Zhong? No wonder he is so difficult to deal with! It's just unfortunate for Daoist Brother Yu and the others!"

Inside a military station of the Primordial Demon Legion, the Leopard Tail Witch who had narrowly escaped from Zhou Chun's hands changed her expression slightly after seeing the intelligence reports sent by informers from the Heavenly Spirit Legion, feeling a trace of fear in her heart.

Although her strength was not insignificant, she knew her limitations, and there was still a gap between her and "Seven Primordial Demons" of that level.

After she had returned to the Primordial Demon Legion, she had considered seeking revenge against Zhou Chun once she had learned more about him.

But now that she knew the man who had injured her was Zhou Chun, she couldn't help but back down.

"I'll just watch and wait for now!"

She thought to herself, and her desire for revenge greatly diminished.

In the following half-year, Zhou Chun didn't know the meaning of low profile at all, achieving impressive military achievements in several missions he led, earning much applause.

One day, the area where Zhou Chun was stationed experienced a thunderstorm, with thousands of miles covered by dark clouds and a downpour.

Lightning flashed everywhere in the sky.

Under such conditions, even Cultivators rarely flew in the air, to avoid the bad luck of being struck by heavenly thunder.

Especially Demon Cultivators, who would almost never go out in this kind of weather.

Yet, for Zhou Chun, this thunderstorm was a godsend opportunity!

His Spirit Pet Baibai had depleted its accumulated Power of Heavenly Thunder during the battle against Corpse Fiend General Jiang Zhong, which prevented it from using its Divine Skills, Heavenly Gang Divine Thunder.

Over the past six months, there had been thunderstorms, but because the coverage area of the thunderstorms was small, Zhou Chun did not dare to allow Baibai to go into the sky to absorb the Power of Heavenly Thunder, to avoid letting others discover this secret.

Now, finding that this thunderstorm met his needs, Zhou Chun quietly left his station with Baibai to an uninhabited wilderness, allowing it to go into the midst of the dark clouds and thunder to absorb the Power of Heavenly Thunder.

In the clouds, a silver giant python, like a massive serpentine lightning bolt, weaved and darted, continuously chasing and devouring the thunderous power within the clouds.

After absorbing the Power of Heavenly Thunder from one part of the sky, the silver python would dash towards another part.

In this way, after scurrying across hundreds of miles and absorbing the power of thunder for nearly two hours, Baibai finally reached saturation.

"Good, with this, I can be bolder in my actions from now on!"

Zhou Chun waved his hand to recall his beloved pet, now full of the Power of Heavenly Thunder, back into the Spirit Beast Pouch, his eyes flashing with light.

Opportunity favors the prepared!

Half a month after the thunderstorm, Zhou Chun was presented with a chance to make a name for himself.

It seems that the high-levels of both sides, perhaps after an unspoken agreement, believed that the time had come, that it was time to launch a major frontal battle!
