The dawn of winter always comes late, dark clouds cover the sky, and the whole world is silent.
In a dim room in a palace somewhere in the imperial palace, a pair of eyes suddenly lit up, shining brightly, as if hiding thousands of stars.
The next moment, a tall and strong figure sat up. He walked barefoot to the outside of the hall and sat quietly on the steps.
The clouds in the sky flowed, the light and shadows changed, until a ray of morning light broke, and the statue-like boy finally moved.
He took off his wristbands, armbands, and anklets one by one, and the heavy weights slammed onto the bluestone slabs, making a crisp and loud sound.
"call--"
His whole body suddenly felt lighter, and Han Xin let out a long sigh of relief. He closed his eyes and carefully felt his reborn body.
Every muscle bulged and throbbed, seemingly containing endless power, making him feel stronger than ever before.
After regaining control of his body, Han Xin suddenly opened his eyes. The rising sun shone on his face, and his sharp eyes were revealed.
Two quarters of an hour later, Zhangtai Palace.
As soon as Ying Zheng sat down in front of the imperial desk, a palace servant came in to deliver a message. He raised his phoenix eyes slightly and nodded to signal the person to come in.
"Your Majesty, I have come to fulfill the bet."
As soon as he came in, Han Xin bowed and went straight to the point without any delay.
The boy has a dark complexion and a calm expression. There is confidence and assertiveness in his handsome brows, like a piece of unpolished jade whose brilliance is gradually becoming apparent.
Ying Zheng responded indifferently, his deep and three-dimensional face remained calm. He waved away the palace servants and ordered the Black Ice Guard to bring a genetic testing device.
A month later, the silver-white robot stood in front of Han Xin again. A green light shot out from its eyes and began to scan up and down.
"Information detection..."
In the empty and silent hall, the strange voice was cold and calm, making people so nervous that their breathing stopped.
At this moment, no matter how confident Han Xin was, his heart seemed to be in his throat, his fists clenched unconsciously, and veins appeared.
Only a few breaths had passed, yet it felt as if several years had passed.
Finally, the green light faded, and a familiar mechanical sound reached the ears of everyone present.
"Ding~Test successful!"
"Life Type: Human Male
Current status: Muscle strain
Physical grade: S
Mental strength level: SS
Potential level: SS"
"The life form is in an abnormal state, please seek medical attention immediately..."
Han Xin could no longer hear what was said afterwards. His eyes were bright, his mind was completely immersed in joy, and a flush of excitement spread across his face.
He did it.
He, Han Xin, did it.
At this moment, all the hard work and fatigue of the past month disappeared, and every drop of bitter sweat in the past was not wasted.
Ying Zheng, who was sitting at the top, looked at the young man with admiration in his eyes. His eyes were bright and his voice was majestic and solemn.
"Han Xin, now you have obtained the qualifications."
"Are you willing to join the Dragon Armor Army and become the sharp sword of the Qin Dynasty?"
"Believe that you are willing!"
Han Xin replied without hesitation, his sonorous tone no longer showing any trace of immaturity, but filled with solemnity and piety.
Seeing the young man's loyalty, Ying Zheng curled his lips slightly, and a smile appeared on his solemn and stern face.
However, the final step of the ceremony has not yet been completed.
Receiving His Majesty's gaze, the Black Ice Guard on standby immediately understood. He took out a piece of yellowed parchment and handed it to the young man.
"I swear by blood, I bear your name."
Han Xin took the parchment in both hands, asked nothing, and bit his finger calmly, and bright red blood flowed out.
He quickly wrote his name on the paper. When the last stroke was made, the strange scene that followed made his pupils shrink suddenly.
The old sheepskin seemed to come alive, greedily sucking in the warm blood. In a moment, the paper surface returned to its original state, as smooth as new.
Before he could come to his senses, the parchment glowed with a faint light, and a black shadow rushed out and merged into the back of his left hand at lightning speed.
The strange scene was completely beyond Han Xin's cognition. He was terrified and instinctively looked at the back of his hand, where a black dragon totem came into view.
The black dragon coiled in a winding manner, its claws were sharp, its body was agile, and its eyes were majestic and mysterious, and could not be violated.
"Don't worry, as long as you don't break your vow, everything will be fine."
Ying Zheng stared at the stunned expression of the young man and said something to comfort him gently, but the hidden meaning in his tone made people feel a chill in their hearts.
Han Xin was a sensible man. He immediately knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and touched his forehead to the ground, offering his loyalty with an attitude of absolute submission.
"Han Xin swears allegiance to the Qin Empire until his death! To His Majesty!"
The young man's loyalty was fervent and pure. The emperor looked down at him through his crown, his supreme majesty and aura fully displayed.
Half an hour later, Han Xin followed the Black Ice Guard to a deep mountain forest with doubts and expectations.
Lush green vegetation grows wildly, and unknown birds occasionally cry out, making the atmosphere seem even colder and more eerie.
In such a remote and dark place, not only are there few people, but even few wild animals.
However, the Black Ice Guard did not stop. He stepped onto a small path, passed through layers of thorns, and came to a tall mountain.
"Put your left hand on it."
The expressionless man spoke in a deep voice. Han Xin did as he was told. His calloused palms touched the rock, and he felt a cold and thick touch.
Then, the dragon's eyes flashed with light, a rumbling sound was heard from the mountain, and a natural stone door slowly opened.
The series of strange things he had seen and heard today had shocked Han Xin to the point of being numb. He followed the Black Ice Guard step by step and entered the dark cave.
At the same time, outside, the stone door slammed shut, fitting perfectly into the mountain, so that no one could tell that there was a door hidden here.
Han Xin walked in the deep cave without fear. Instead, his blood was boiling in his chest and he was so excited that his face flushed.
After a while, they reached the end.
"Come up."
"Oh, okay."
Hearing the man's cold urging, Han Xin quickly retracted the stunned look on his face and stepped onto the strange glass box.
After the glass door closed, it slowly moved downwards. The feeling of weightlessness made Han Xin's body sway, and he quickly grabbed the handrail to keep his balance.
The moment he raised his eyes, a new world beyond human imagination and extremely shocking opened up to him.
This is a magnificent underground city. No, perhaps it should not be called a city, it can only be called a pavilion.
The entire mountain was almost hollowed out, the white candlelight was as dazzling as the sun, and dozens of layers of territory were suspended in a circular shape. The buildings on each layer were majestic and unique.
Various tin men were busy in an orderly manner, and there were even bird-like things flying around. Everything was in order and had a unique operating pattern.
At this moment, Han Xin had lost his voice.
He couldn't describe the shock he felt at that moment in words. His mind was blank and his limbs were stiff.
Even though he saw it with his own eyes, he still felt as if he was in a dream, as if he was out of tune with this mysterious world.
Black Ice Guard looked at the young man in disbelief, a rare smile appearing on his calm face, and his ups and downs of voice were full of fanaticism.
"Welcome to...Dragon Armor Base."
