After the formalities were concluded, True Immortal Qiongyu turned his gaze to Zhang Fan and the other two, asking, "Who will go first?"
"I will!" Blood Demon Flood Dragon was impatient. He stepped forward, transforming into a flood dragon several kilometers long. It coiled in the void, its scales shimmering with a cold, bloody light, exuding a dense aura of blood.
"Its true form is actually a mutated Blood Demon Flood Dragon." True Immortal Qiongyu was slightly surprised but not alarmed. The Purple Heaven Starfield was, after all, a high-level starfield, home to cultivators of various races, and demon cultivators were not uncommon.
"Dragon's Tail Swing!"
The Blood Demon Flood Dragon unleashed the most powerful move of the 'Blood Dragon Combat Style.' Its thick tail lashed out like lightning at the light screen. As layers of ripples spread, four large characters appeared on the screen.
"Two-Star Warrior."
The Blood Demon Flood Dragon reverted to its true form and landed beside Zhang Fan, grinning smugly. "Master, I haven't disappointed you."
Zhang Fan ignored him and looked towards Southern Venerable.
Southern Venerable nodded and stepped forward. He threw a simple punch, but the power contained within it was no weaker than the Blood Demon Flood Dragon's. Similarly, Southern Venerable also received the evaluation of a Two-Star Warrior.
True Immortal Qiongyu and True Immortal Mushan cast a deep glance at Southern Venerable. Despite only being at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he had so easily achieved the evaluation of a Two-Star Warrior. His true strength likely far surpassed what he displayed.
However, concealing one's strength was an innate instinct for cultivators, and they did not require every cultivator to reveal all their abilities.
When it was Zhang Fan's turn, he did not waste much time. He mobilized the power of his divine body and struck the light screen with a punch.
"Four-Star General!"
This evaluation was within everyone's expectations. After all, Zhang Fan's cultivation had reached the mid-stage of the Refinement God realm. Even the weakest cultivator at this stage could achieve a Four-Star General evaluation.
"What is your Dao name, and where are you from?" True Immortal Qiongyu turned his gaze to the Blood Demon Flood Dragon and asked.
"Dao name?" The Blood Demon Flood Dragon was stunned. He had never considered this.
Generally, there were two ways a cultivator's Dao name came about: one was to choose it based on their preference, and the other was a title bestowed by other cultivators.
For instance, Southern Venerable, due to his formidable strength, was almost invincible within the Wu Mountain Starfield. He was known as the number one expert of the Wu Mountain Starfield. His name was Canglan Nanzhou, so other cultivators respectfully called him Southern Venerable.
Over time, he adopted this title as his Dao name.
Hearing this, Zhang Fan also began to ponder what his Dao name in this life would be.
"Continue with my previous life?"
That was clearly unsuitable. After cultivating to the Great Perfection Immortal Emperor realm in his previous life, he had fought against Immortal Emperors from all four directions and earned the title 'War Emperor' due to his prowess in battle. However, with his current strength, using that title would be too arrogant.
Dao names also had taboos. How could a mere Deity Transformation cultivator dare to claim the title of Emperor?
After a moment of thought, Zhang Fan had an idea.
"Call me Blood Demon. I am from the Savage Starfield." The Blood Demon Flood Dragon pondered for a long time, unable to come up with a satisfactory Dao name, so he simply gave up.
"Blood Demon, Two-Star Warrior, from the Savage Starfield."
This was the basic file information for the Blood Demon Flood Dragon. After registration, he received a battle token.
Next was Southern Venerable's turn.
"Dao name Southern Venerable, from the Savage Starfield."
After Southern Venerable received his battle token, it was Zhang Fan's turn.
"Dao name Ten Absolutes, from the Savage Starfield."
In this life's cultivation path, he based it on the Ten Absolutes Heavenly God Record, so Zhang Fan decided to use that as his Dao name.
Hearing Zhang Fan's words, True Immortal Qiongyu was surprised. It was already difficult for the Savage Starfield to produce one Deity Transformation cultivator, let alone the other two. And even this Refinement God cultivator was from the Savage Starfield.
Of course, True Immortal Qiongyu did not suspect them of lying. After all, they had collected information on all low and mid-level starfields in this region. If they wanted to investigate, they could do so quickly.
It was simply that the Savage Starfield, due to its sheer number, was impossible to quantify.
After receiving their battle tokens, True Immortal Mushan led Zhang Fan and the others out.
"First, refine this battle token," True Immortal Mushan said. "After refining it, it will be like your identity token and will accompany you until you leave the Starry Sky Battlefield or perish..."
"What is the function of this battle token?" The Blood Demon Flood Dragon, after refining it, found that it seemed to have no special function and asked curiously.
"This battle token is like a lamp of the soul. After you refine it, the War Base can use it to detect your life and death. At the same time, this token is also the carrier for recording military achievements. It has no combat function," True Immortal Mushan explained.
"How are military achievements calculated?" Zhang Fan suddenly asked. He was particularly concerned about this question.
After all, his primary goal in coming to the Starry Sky Battlefield was to fulfill his promise to the Great Luo Artifact Spirit and obtain one million military achievements.
"Military achievements are also divided from one to ten stars," True Immortal Mushan said. "Killing a one-star enemy warrior grants ten thousand military achievements, killing a two-star warrior grants twenty thousand, and so on. Killing a six-star general grants sixty thousand military achievements."
"After six stars, the calculation method for military achievements changes."
"Killing a seven-star Marquis grants one hundred thousand military achievements, killing an eight-star Marquis grants two hundred thousand, and killing a nine-star Marquis grants five hundred thousand."
Zhang Fan realized he had been tricked by the Great Luo Artifact Spirit. It was true that killing a Deity Transformation cultivator could yield one hundred thousand military achievements, but only if they were a seven-star Marquis.
Killing ten seven-star Marquises was a long and arduous journey for Zhang Fan at present.
"Then how many military achievements does killing a ten-star King grant?" the Blood Demon Flood Dragon asked curiously again.
True Immortal Mushan was truly exasperated with the Blood Demon Flood Dragon and could only shake his head. "Since the Void Return stage cultivators were forbidden from joining the Starry Sky Battlefield, no ten-star King has ever fallen. Asking is futile."
"Can't I even imagine it?" the Blood Demon Flood Dragon pestered. "Then how many military achievements is it?"
"Ten million!" True Immortal Mushan replied irritably.
Upon hearing this, the Blood Demon Flood Dragon became excited. Ten million military achievements! How many cultivation resources could that exchange for?
"Let's go. Let's explore this War Base first and get familiar with the surroundings, as we will be staying here for a long time in the future," Zhang Fan said to everyone.
True Immortal Mushan nodded. After all, part of his duty was to help newcomers familiarize themselves with the environment. The task was easy and earned him military achievements, so he lived quite comfortably in the War Base.
"If neither of you two has any acquaintances in this War Base, you can choose to join fellow Daoist Ten Absolutes' team," True Immortal Mushan looked at Zhang Fan, with a hint of inquiry.
Zhang Fan nodded and said, "I was planning to form a team. If you are willing, you can join my team."
Hearing Zhang Fan's words, the two sword cultivators were naturally delighted. They came from low-level starfields and had no acquaintances in the War Base. With a Refinement God realm expert like Zhang Fan leading them, their early days would be much easier.
