Chapter 264: Transcendent Qing (1)
Qing received more than just a new title. She also received a badge.
A blue armband embroidered with the character for “Captain,” marking her as a squad leader in the Heavenly Martial Division.
The Yongbong Gathering wasn’t just a social club for the next generation of righteous sect leaders. It was also a fully structured combat unit under the Murim Alliance.
Thus, the rising stars of the orthodox martial world were assigned to either the Heavenly Martial Division or the Earthly Dragon Division, the Murim Alliance’s reserve combat units.
Officially, both units were described as equal in status and function, entirely independent of each other.
However, in practice, the exceptional talents with backing from the Nine Great Sects or the Ten Great Clans were placed in the Heavenly Martial Division.
The rest? Dumped into the Earthly Dragon Division.
Of course, the Murim Alliance swore that the assignments were based solely on training needs, not background or connections.
According to them, those who already had a solid martial foundation and needed no further instruction from outside masters were placed in the Heavenly Martial Division.
Meanwhile, the Earthly Dragon Division provided tailored guidance and advanced martial techniques to those who still required refinement.
At least, that was the official line.
Perhaps that was the original intent.
