Chapter 357 - 357 78 The Connection Is Made 2 in 1

Chapter 357: Chapter 78: The Connection Is Made [2 in 1] Chapter 357: Chapter 78: The Connection Is Made [2 in 1] Feng Yin sighed inwardly.

Among the six hundred and sixty-six members of this Fifth Class, while Qin country’s people were certainly the most numerous, accounting for a full sixth of the populace, and significantly outweighing the people from other countries…

But even with this high proportion, the advantages are still not apparent within the entire class.

Rather, it would be easy for other nations to join hands and target us together due to the Qin people’s majority.

You see, in this group, there’s no demonic race at all. So, considering that the total population of people from other countries, even though slightly less than Qin, is not far behind. But when all countries are added together, it greatly exceeds Qin’s figure.

Feng Yin stole a glance at Xia You. Was what she said intentional or unintentional?

Perhaps this sister is just too innocent, bringing up nationality at this time, her intention to curry favor is too obvious, but the results of doing so are just like setting a trap for me…

But seeing the translucent white gauze on this sister’s face, covering a face that should have been very pretty but was marked with bloodstains…..and sincerity and hope in her eyes…

Feng Yin sighed in his heart, pushing this thought to the back of his mind.

He would see how things go in the future.

Then he laughed, saying, “Oh, Sister Xia You, your words are a little inaccurate. Although we are all from Qin, and as fellow countrymen, we should feel a surge of emotions and tear up seeing each other. But I have to say something about you.”

Xia You was startled; “What do you want to say, Boss?”

“We came here to train, all being Gold Rank assassins, a fact known to all. But why does the Heavenly Judge only target Gold Rank assassins for training? Why not start training from Bronze Badge or Iron Rank?”

Feng Yin asked solemnly.

“I… I don’t know.”

Xia You was perplexed and didn’t understand why Feng Yin was asking this question.

What is he saying? I don’t understand.

“In my opinion, this move was made because of the principles established by the Heavenly Judge. Although anyone holding noble intentions, willing to punish the wicked and evil for the world, can join the Heavenly Judge, only those who have ascended to Gold Rank have the qualifications to be truly called, a Heavenly Judge assassin.”

“You know, in life, food, clothing, housing, and transportation are the basics of living. Many people join Heavenly Judge initially because of the pressures of life. They are unable to provide for their families, their wives, and their children. But once they advance to Gold Rank, they no longer face struggles in life. To be blunt, being a Gold Rank assassin may not mean much in the eyes of a High Grade practitioner, but it’s definitely easy to earn a living and accumulate wealth with martial strength, right?”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Feng Yin’s words were indeed reasonable.

Gold Rank assassins might not amount to much in the eyes of Heavenly Level or even Earth Level cultivators. But as a local figure, they can definitely become a strong force in a region. The individuals like Mo Zhengdao, who perished at Feng Yin’s hands, would, with their own strength, be akin to High Grade Gold Rank assassins, and they indeed had built up quite a wealth for themselves in Yuezhou City. This was a testament to that fact.

So, those who can accumulate enough merit to ascend to Gold Rank, even if they quit being assassins, would never be left struggling for food nor lack basic living conditions.

“In my eyes, anyone who continues to be an assassin after reaching Gold Rank must have the heart to continue standing up for justice for the world’s people, rewarding heaven, and bringing peace to the common people. No amount of money or resources can sway their determination. Instead, they will work tirelessly for a belief in their hearts. That belief is, what we are doing is right, and we will never tolerate the existence of the world’s ugliness.”

Feng Yin said, “Although I can’t guarantee that all Gold Rank assassins hold this sentiment and are pure-hearted, I dare say that more than 80% of Gold Rank assassins hold this belief. I am not exaggerating, am I?”

“Not at all!” everyone chorused.

Because in their hearts, more than ninety percent held the very same thought.

If it wasn’t for wanting to eradicate those scumbags, and for upholding righteousness in the world, why should I continue doing this dangerous assassin work?

With the cultivation and strength I have now, wouldn’t any other job earn money faster and be safer than being a Gold Rank assassin of the Heavenly Judge?

“That’s why the high-ranking members of the Heavenly Judge hold this training for us, to help us go even further. I imagine that those who leave this industry after the training are not non-existent. But the vast majority continue walking this path of being an assassin, still upholding our ideal.”

“This is the value of us. And the fundamental reason for us being brought together for training is that the Heavenly Judge does not differentiate between nationalities, only judging right from wrong, good and evil.”

“So, now that we are gathered, we are brothers. We are sisters, you could also say fellow students, fellow soldiers.”

“Our existence is to strive for peace in the world.”

Feng Yin’s words were impactful, to the point where he almost convinced himself.

“Each of us has our own roots and background, and we love our own countries, and protect our own countries. Right now, the seven nations are fighting constantly amongst themselves, which is a reality. Perhaps one day, when our national interests are infringed upon, we may meet each other on the battlefield.”

“At that time, life and death, survival and extinction, will depend solely on our strength, without considering today’s friendship. The victorious one serves the country, protects the home and the people. The dead also served their country and protected their home and people in death. They got what they deserved. Life is not always joyful, and death carries no resentment. Can everyone agree with me on this?”

Once again, everyone nodded, lost in thought.

These words were reasonable, straightforward, and simple.

“But we have not yet set foot on the battlefield of the nation, and there is no antagonism yet.”
