When Aizen's voice fell, the crowd went into an uproar.
The people in the dense crowd were discussing in low voices. Even if they were Hollow now, they couldn't help but widen their eyes and look at Aizen in disbelief.
"Even if we joined the Ethereal Empire, we still can't guarantee our own safety?!"
In the dense crowd below, a skinny young man couldn't help but murmur with a trembling voice.
Hearing his words, a burly man with a beard immediately glared at him and said in a deep and hoarse voice.
"Do you think everyone joined the Ethereal Empire just to survive like you?!"
"I came here to become a great man like His Majesty. Haven't you heard before? If you want to increase your strength after becoming a Hollow, then you have to desperately dig out your own potential!"
Speaking of this, the burly man revealed a sinister smile. He spat at the lean young man and said in a hoarse voice.
"From the moment I became a bandit after killing for the first time, I understood that the so-called fate is always in your own hands!"
"It's a pity that I don't have the talent of a ninja. Otherwise, I would kill every weak dog like you!"
"But fortunately, His Majesty has given us a chance. A chance to become the best in the world!"
"Kid … Looking at you, you must be a ninja before. What a waste of your talent!"
The burly man looked at the skinny young man with a deep gaze and said with a hint of disdain in his hoarse voice.
Hearing the burly man's words, the freckles on the skinny young man's face turned red. He couldn't help but glare at the burly man and said in a somewhat submissive tone.
"You … You're the one who just wants to survive!"
"I'm here … I'm here because I want to know if the potion of a Hollow can really heal the injuries on my body …"
Speaking of this, the young man moved his right leg slightly unnaturally. After feeling the feeling of freedom, he let out a sigh of relief.
The burly man with a beard glanced at his small movements and immediately understood the reason why the young man in front of him came here. He couldn't help but sneer.
"Do you think the Ethereal Empire's Emperor would spread such a lie to deceive a guy like you? What a joke!"
"How do you feel now? How does it feel to become a normal person from a small disability!?"
Strangely, hearing the burly man's words, the skinny young man wasn't unhappy. Instead, he showed an excited smile and said excitedly.
"His Majesty Aizen didn't lie to us. I feel better than ever before!!"
As he spoke, he stomped his right foot and couldn't help but enjoy the feeling of being a healthy person.
Seeing this scene, the burly man no longer ridiculed the half-grown boy in front of him who had just recovered. Instead, he asked in a hoarse voice.
"Kid, what's your name!?"
Hearing the burly man's question, the young man with some freckles on his face was taken aback and whispered.
"Tie … Jie …"
Hearing this, the burly man glanced at him and said with a chuckle.
"I like you, kid. I can't bear to see you buried in this Ethereal Empire in the future!"
"Remember … My name is Thousand Feet Spirit Crane Ryu. If you encounter trouble in the future … just say my name!"
Hearing this, the young Fu Liangjie's eyes widened in an instant. He looked at the burly man in front of him in a daze. After a long while, he whispered with a slightly red face.
"Uncle Spirit Crane Ryu … Do … Do you have a relationship in this Ethereal Empire!?"
Suddenly hearing this, Spirit Crane Ryu couldn't help coughing and glanced at him angrily.
"Brat, who are you calling uncle!?"
Fu Liangjie hurriedly apologized. Shen Crane Liu shook his head, and a glint flashed in his large eyes as he spoke in a deep voice.
"Of course, I don't have a relationship in the Ethereal Empire … But … I have already thought about who I should follow!"
At this very moment, similar conversations were taking place in different areas of the crowd below.
Because the Ethereal Empire was eager to expand their influence in the ninja world, they didn't set any restrictions in the initial selection.
Whether it was civilians, rebellious ninjas, rich merchants, or evil robbers, nobles, whether they have physical disabilities or serious diseases!
Anyone who arrived at the village To Endure The Rain and was willing to join the Ethereal Empire was accepted by the Ethereal Empire!
After being injected with the potion, the past of these people will be meaningless.
Because in the Ethereal Empire, they only have one initial identity, and that is low-level Ethereal Empire.
However, in general, their past also affects their future achievements to a certain extent.
For example, the guy who used to be a ninja, after being injected with the potion, may have stronger strength than usual because of the power of Chakra. In this way, he will naturally be classified as a mid-level Ethereal Empire.
Of course, there are exceptions. Some young people with tenacious will may not have the talent of a ninja, but after using the potion, their performance is also impressive.
There are even many who directly become a high-level Ethereal Empire in one step!
At this moment, Aizen, who was sitting on a high stone seat, looked down at the noisy crowd with a faint smile on his face.
He didn't stop them, he just let them vent the panic and confusion in their hearts.
After a while, all the noise finally quieted down. At this time, Aizen glanced at them and said with a very calm voice.
"Since the quarrel is over, it seems that you have accepted the situation in front of you, very good …"
"Then … Let's start the most important part of the process for you …"
The moment they heard Aizen's words, everyone held their breath and widened their eyes.
When they came to the Ethereal Empire, some cautious and smart people had already asked the person in charge of accepting members of the village To Endure The Rain about the arrangements after coming here.
Clearly, to these newcomers, the most important thing was what was about to happen next.
"Then … Now, let's start the selection of your future commander …"
As Aizen's voice slowly fell, the members of Las Noches who were originally standing below walked out from the crowd and slowly walked up the high stone steps where Aizen was.
