Guarding the Great Wall: I Can Imprint the Talents of All Monsters

In the northern borders of the Great Zhou, the Great Wall stands as a formidable barrier against the myriad of monstrous creatures that lurk beyond. Within the walls, the soldiers are mere cannon fodder, expendable and disposable. Chen Yu, a young recruit, finds himself conscripted into the army, where the mortality rate is staggering, with only three out of ten soldiers surviving. As a lowly foot soldier in the 73rd battalion, Chen Yu is treated as nothing more than a consumable resource by the imperial court and a means to gain military merit by his superiors. However, everything changes when Chen Yu discovers an ancient, mysterious bronze military badge that allows him to imprint the talents of the monsters he defeats. With this newfound power, Chen Yu can absorb the essence of the monsters, gaining their abilities and strengthening his own. The badge's power is vast, allowing him to unlock the secrets of the monsters, including their weaknesses and strengths. For Chen Yu, killing monsters is no longer just about survival, but about gaining power and "looting" their abilities. As he rises through the ranks, from a mere foot soldier to a commander, Chen Yu's ambition and strength grow, driven by his determination to become the greatest warrior of all time. With his newfound abilities, Chen Yu proclaims, "I am Chen Yu, and the rules of the border army are simple - the strong survive, and the weak perish."
