Originally, there was only one kind of title among the four titles of the Emperor Wu Dynasty, and that was the title entrusted by the dynasty.
This kind of title is called a feudal title.
If you want to obtain a feudal title, you must have sufficient strength and make corresponding contributions to the Emperor Wu Dynasty.
Just like Yang Xuanji, the reason why he was able to become the Great Sage Heavenly King was not only that he was one of the most powerful men in the Wuhuang Dynasty, but there was also an even more important reason. That was the place where the Wuhuang Dynasty was first established, Yang Xuanji.
However, the soldiers who led the Emperor Wu Dynasty killed countless powerful foreigners and protected thousands of human warriors.
This achievement was the reason why Yang Xuanji was entrusted with the title of Heavenly King.
It is precisely because of these that these feudal kings are so respected.
In addition to enfeoffed titles, there is another kind of title, which is the title of military merit.
There are actually many ways for warriors to obtain military merits, not just coming to the frontier battlefields to fight. Of course, coming to the frontier battlefields is definitely the easiest way to obtain military merits.
Let’s not talk about the various ways to obtain military merit. Let’s talk about the military merit title. As the name suggests, the military merit title is naturally a title obtained by redeeming military merit.
The court of the Emperor Wu Dynasty also recognized this kind of title, and would even personally create a title token and record it in the books.
The emergence of this military title only appeared within the past ten thousand years.
However, from the moment this military merit title appeared, not many warriors were too concerned about this military merit warrior.
The reason is very simple. Warriors respect the strong no matter where they are.
Only the strong can be respected.
The reason why those enfeoffed titles are respected is because their strength and behavior are worthy of their titles.
But this military merit title is different. There are too many ways to obtain military merit. It is possible that many warriors just handed over a large number of treasures to the court and thus obtained military merit.
If you use this method to obtain military merit, even a young boy can obtain a title.
Therefore, almost all warriors do not attach much importance to warriors who have obtained military titles. It can even be said to be quite contemptuous.
Once upon a time, there was a warrior who worked hard to accumulate countless military merits, and then exchanged for a prince title in the court. However, later on, he was ridiculed by others because of this prince title.
This shows how unpopular this military title is.
In fact, since the emergence of military merit titles, the number of people in the entire Wuhuang Dynasty who have redeemed military merit titles has been less than ten.
This kind of fancy title, when redeemed, really doesn't have much use other than making people laugh.
Therefore, naturally few warriors waste military merit in exchange for such a title.
If possible, Ye Chen would naturally want to obtain the enfeoffed title. He holds the Saint King's Order, and in theory, he already has the title of Saint King.
But in fact, his title is even more unreliable than his military title.
His title as the Saint King comes from the Saint Clan. If the Saint Clan does not recognize him, then even if he takes out the Saint Clan King Order, the court will not recognize him as the king.
This is also the reason why Ye Chen rarely takes out the Holy Clan King's Token from the beginning to the end.
Therefore, if he wanted to obtain military merit, Ye Chen could only resort to other methods.
Ye Chen could only choose one of the two between the title of enfeoffment and the title of military merit.
If most of the warriors in the Emperor Wu Dynasty wanted to obtain a title, they would choose to fight hard and earn the title.
But today, the Wuhuang Dynasty has been at peace for a long time, and it is very difficult to obtain titles through enfeoffment. Especially the titles of domain king and heavenly king. Since the establishment of the Wuhuang Dynasty, there has almost never been a new king.
.
It is almost impossible for Ye Chen to take the road of enfeoffment and become the King of Heaven, unless the world of Qianlong returns to the chaotic situation of a hundred thousand years ago.
Since he couldn't become the King of Heaven by enfeoffment, Ye Chen could only find a way to obtain the military title and become the King of Military Merit first.
Military Merit King, this is also a title recognized by the imperial court.
As long as Ye Chen can become the King of Heaven, he will at least have the qualifications to be close to Murong Xue. Yang Xuanji also said this at the beginning.
Therefore, Ye Chen's goal at this moment is to become the King of Military Merit.
"To redeem a title, the lowest prince title requires military merit of 1 million. The title of king requires 5 million military merit. The title of domain king requires 50 million military merit. The title of heavenly king requires 100 million military merit."
After briefly looking at the conditions for redeeming the military title, Ye Chen smiled bitterly in his heart.
The tens of millions of military merits in his hands may seem like a lot, but they can only be exchanged for a king's title at most, not even a domain king's title, let alone a heavenly king.
A military merit quota of 100 million is really an exaggeration.
If it weren't for the opening of the Hualong Pond this time, and Ye Chen had taken advantage of it in advance and was able to obtain tens of millions of military merits in one go, I'm afraid Ye Chen wouldn't have been able to accumulate even one million military merits by now.
This kind of opportunity is something that can only be met but cannot be sought. With a military merit quota of 100 million, it is almost impossible for Ye Chen to collect it.
After muttering a few times in his heart, Ye Chen's expression immediately became excited again.
One hundred million military credits is indeed a lot, but for Ye Chen, it is a hope.
No matter how you look at it, this military title is much easier to obtain than a knighthood.
What's more, Ye Chen already has a full 10 million military merits. If he is lucky enough, he might be able to collect 100 million military merits soon.
After comforting himself a few words, Ye Chen turned around and left the military merit exchange house.
"Brother Ye Chen." Just as he walked out, Barsuide's voice suddenly sounded in Ye Chen's ears.
On the side, Basside, with an eager look on his face, strode towards where Ye Chen was.
"Brother Ye, Yang Jing was tricked out by Tian Shu and others, threatening that you must go over to see them, otherwise, they will kill Yang Jing. I have no choice but to come over and see you."
Ba Suide walked over and said with a bitter look on his face.
Hearing this, Ye Chen frowned and asked, "What's going on? Please explain it clearly first."
Basside slowly shook his head and told the story.
It turned out that after Ye Chen and others returned to the Ministry of War to perform their military exploits, news came from nowhere that Ye Chen had obtained the legendary Dragon Soul Fruit in the Hualong Pond.
This news naturally made all the Shinto warriors quite jealous.
It's just that Ye Chen immediately chose to retreat after arriving at the Ministry of War camp. The other warriors couldn't even see Ye Chen, so naturally they wouldn't have any evil thoughts.
Only Tian Shu and others, who coveted the Dragon Soul Fruit in Ye Chen's hands, actually thought of using Yang Jing to lure Ye Chen away from the Ministry of War camp.
Naturally, Yang Jing would not be easily fooled by Tian Shu and others. However, this time, it was not Tian Shu and others who took action in person, but Yang Jing and others, a good friend whom they had met in the past, secretly tricked Yang Jing.
Only then did Yang Jing fall into the hands of Tian Shu and others.
After capturing Yang Jing, Tian Shu and others, they swaggered and sent a message directly to Basuid, asking Basuid to notify Ye Chen and go see them.
To put it bluntly, Tian Shu and others spent so much effort not only to take advantage of Ye Chen to vent their bad breath, but also to get the Dragon Soul Fruit in Ye Chen's hands.
