Apocalypse Gachapon Chapter 1939: Layered Body and Layered Eye

Ye Zhongming remained in his private quarters, anticipating the arrival of individuals keen to enlist in the Assault Camp.

The concept had sparked the instant he learned of his impending control over the Bronze Camp.

The deep-rooted problems plaguing the Star-Eye Clan demanded time to heal; what this area truly required were valiant figures.

On a personal level, both White Robe and Ye Zhongming had excelled sufficiently to earn the hero title. Therefore, the moment called for an elite unit that commanded genuine respect and intimidation.

Similar to the renowned Female Guards of the realm.

The key distinction lay in the fact that the Female Guard's creation and growth involved some fortune, whereas the Bronze Assault Camp would be meticulously designed and assembled solely by Ye Zhongming.

The initial visitor proved to be an expected yet unexpected choice; it turned out to be Jie Kui.

"What are you here for?" Ye Zhongming furrowed his brow just a touch.

Considering solely Jie Kui's individual fighting approach, he was unquestionably a prime fit for the Bronze Assault Camp. Yet, Ye Zhongming had arrived at the Bronze Camp by himself. Even though he employed his special powers, such as the Earth Spirit from the Mountain King Crown and the Bronze Order Leader mask's utilization to eliminate the primary barrier, Ka Lan Ka, he lacked a reliable ally inside the group.

Jie Kui, the fighter appointed by the Star-Eye Clan, clearly emerged as the ideal selection.

Helsky would naturally outshine Jie Kui in suitability and likely deliver superior results, but his background posed a complication. Ye Zhongming preferred to avoid additional complications.

Moreover, he had separate tasks that demanded Helsky's assistance.

"I want to join the Assault Camp." Jie Kui rubbed his head awkwardly, watching Ye Zhongming's face closely, prepared to tweak his statement if needed.

"Return and manage the Third Thousand-Person Unit effectively. That division is filled with Leng Jiao's former subordinates; it's likely the most resistant to our leadership. You need to keep it in check for me and deliver strong outcomes in upcoming evaluations. You stand for me, understand? If you falter, my standing here will suffer too!"

Jie Kui replied bashfully, "I get it, but I'm truly not cut out for this kind of duty. I'd much prefer charging at foes and wielding my weapon. You remember, after you showed me 'Layered Body', my skills surged ahead. Even though my furelai hasn't hit two thousand yet, I'm sure I could handle opponents twice as powerful!"

As Ye Zhongming's trusted ally within the Star-Eye Clan, the King of Cloud Peak certainly wouldn't skimp on Jie Kui. Following the acquisition of the 101st generation Bronze Order Leader's inheritance, he imparted to Jie Kui a technique named Layered Body, ideal for stealth attacks and eliminations.

Jie Kui, already a skilled killer, thrived with this power, seeing his prowess skyrocket.

Direct confrontations weren't his strength, but in a surprise assault, the victim would face grave peril.

"Jie Kui, grasp this point: my goal is a thousand or ten thousand fighters who can wreak havoc on enemies, not merely one. I placed you in your role, so you owe me a thousand warriors like that."

"Everyone knows the challenges ahead. So much lies outside our grasp. Get ready; combat looms near."

Once Jie Kui departed, others started approaching Ye Zhongming successively. Not all sought entry into the Assault Camp; some merely aimed to connect, and Ye Zhongming welcomed them warmly, exchanging brief, friendly words with each.

Certainly, a number were earnestly interested in the Assault Camp. These were the staunchest devotees of the Star-Eye Clan, who harbored profound admiration for Ye Zhongming due to the monumental prestige he had bestowed upon their people.

Ye Zhongming welcomed every applicant; he permitted such devoted individuals to enter the Assault Camp.

Ye Zhongming found no opportunity to turn anyone away. The entire day elapsed, with just over sixty sign-ups. Following that, no further candidates appeared.

Evidently, the Bronze Camp residents held little faith in this freshly created team.

Ye Zhongming stayed composed. He reached out to the respective units of these recruits, officially seeking their transfer.

Post-evening meal, he assembled them at an enclosed training area.

"I aimed to gather one hundred members, but regrettably, only sixty-five stepped forward." Ye Zhongming clapped, his expression brimming with regret.

"What I must convey now is that the Bronze Assault Camp training will prove grueling, featuring a steep dropout rate. Injuries, lasting impairments, or even fatalities could occur in sessions. We'll spearhead perilous operations, facing elevated risks of death. You get one final choice. If you waver, exit via that entrance."

Ye Zhongming's eyes scanned their features, then he added, "No shame or dishonor in departing. Life outweighs such concerns."

"Ponder it. I'll return in ten minutes."

With that, Ye Zhongming exited. This wasn't a mere trial; he sincerely urged them to reconsider.

Returning after ten minutes, Ye Zhongming felt a touch of astonishment.

"Not a single departure?"

Sixty-five in total; remarkably, everyone remained.

"Excellent, you've earned my admiration." Ye Zhongming regarded them with approval, then inquired, "I ask once more: can I rely on you? In combat, can I safely turn my back to you?"

"Yes!"

Their response rang out forcefully.

Ye Zhongming inclined his head. He recognized this as no binding vow, nor did he foolishly believe a mere chant forged unbreakable bonds. At present, it formed a solid base. Genuine camaraderie demanded trials through bloodshed and flames.

"I won't send you into danger with empty words alone." Ye Zhongming then began extracting items from his storage. For each extraction, he named a recipient and, amid their shocked stares, handed over the object.

"Unfamiliar with them? These are top-tier gear. I traded my Novice battlefield points for them. They ought to fit you perfectly."

This revelation stirred deep gratitude among the Bronze Assault Camp warriors.

In those recent ten minutes, Ye Zhongming had swiftly reviewed the dossiers of these sixty-five fighters and selected matching gear from his stockpile.

These past days, all Novice battlefield prizes had reached the Star-Eye Clan.

The gear Ye Zhongming chose back then spanned superior, average, and basic qualities. What he distributed to these sixty-five was exclusively from the premium selection.

For these initial supporters aligning with him, the King of Cloud Peak naturally offered generously.

"Examine your gear afterward. For now, launch the inaugural training drill for the Assault Camp." Ye Zhongming instructed them to set aside the items temporarily.

"I've reviewed your records. Frankly, your power levels fall short of my hopes. The mightiest among you..." Ye Zhongming's attention settled on a slender, gaunt figure in the front line, "Shi Yong possesses barely four thousand furelai."

This individual, Shi Yong, stood as not just the most potent recruit in the Assault Camp but also the one with the loftiest rank; he served as a Deputy Thousand-Person Commander.

"This falls short. As my representatives now, such modest might would invite ridicule. Thus, beyond equipment, I've readied a skill for you all."

"Layered Eye."
