“There’s no need to worry about Hua Nongying.”
Ling Xiao smiled: “But I still want to thank you for this information.”
Those who had lost to him before would never have a chance to catch up, let alone defeat him.
He was an Initial Rank Seven Martial Vein Martial Master with a lot of experience and had already realized how terrifying his Landscape Martial Soul was.
If he didn’t even have such confidence, how could he talk about the Transcendent Realm?
Now, he didn’t bother with the realm template since everyone in the entire Hidden Dragon Battalion knew that he had already broken through to Rank Seven Martial Vein. There was no meaning in using a realm template.
However, realm was one thing and his strength another. If someone treated him as an ordinary Initial Rank Seven Martial Vein Martial Master, he or she would definitely suffer big losses.
While these three talked, three Ren Race youths wearing forehead protectors entered the Hidden Dragon Battalion.
Naturally, General Ninth Month followed behind them, seemingly guiding and supervising them.
After all, this was the Hidden Dragon Battalion. He couldn’t let Heavenly Ren Academy’s people do excessive things.
“Heavenly Ren Academy’s geniuses are here. Will it be another defeat?”
The disciples of Heavenly Ren Academy all wore forehead protectors, so the Hidden Dragon Battalion’s geniuses instantly recognized them.
The complexions of the people who knew the results of the previous competition were not particularly hale.
Although the Hidden Dragon Battalion couldn’t be said to be united, facing a foreign enemy, they still shared a bitter hatred.
One of those three geniues was somewhat fat, one looked spiritless, and the last one was a girl with a very lively nature.
“I heard that Dai Yuling has already joined the Twelve Tiger Guards. I wonder who else can be our opponent. This time, will we win all three matches?”
That girl asked excitedly.
“The Hidden Dragon Battalion’s people are nothing to worry about. It’s just that our Heavenly Ren Academy is intensely competitive inside. I wonder who will enter the discerning eyes of Great Master White Cloud.”
The spiritless youth placed his hands behind his head and added, “Great Master White Cloud is the number one powerhouse in White Cloud Province, even stronger than Governor Wan Ben and Side General Lin Ze. Merely, he likes to travel, so he only comes back once every three years to recruit disciples.”
“It would be nice if we were selected.”
The fat youth muttered while eating snacks.
“Rest assured. Great Master White Cloud is not from the Human Race, so he has always selected disciples without regarding their race. As long as you are talented enough, you might be selected among the disciples of Heavenly Ren Academy.”
The spiritless youth added with a smile, “So far, Great Master White Cloud has selected two disciples. Both of them are geniuses of our Ren Race. One is Zuo Leng, and the other is Ming Tian. Ming Tian follows Great Master White Cloud all around. As for Zuo Leng, he has been staying at Heavenly Ren Academy. His strength is far more terrifying than Senior Apprentice Brother Fei Yu’s. I even heard that he killed a Rank Nine Martial Vein Martial Master with a cultivation base at Rank Eight Martial Vein.”
“I’ve also heard that!”
The lively girl hastily said.
“But Zuo Leng obviously looks down on the Hidden Dragon Battalion, so he has never participated in these competitions. Otherwise, what is that Dai Yuling worth?”
The spiritless youth looked at onlooking disciples of the Hidden Dragon Battalion with contempt and specially raised his voice.
“Presumptuous, who dares to spout a lot of nonsense in our Hidden Dragon Battalion?”
A figure flashed over; he was none other than the Hidden Dragon Battalion’s Deputy-Leader Hua Nongying.
“Is this a person sent by the Hidden Dragon Battalion to swap pointers? Hehe, a Mid Rank Seven Martial Vein Martial Master: his cultivation is not bad. It’s a pity that his aura is too shallow, and his foundation is unstable. I can defeat him in one move!”
The spiritless youth indifferently said after examining Hua Nongying.
“Don’t vie with me! Let me do it.”
The lively youth girl laughed, “I just want to experience the great methods of the Hidden Dragon Battalion.”
“All right! Although you have just broken through to Mid Rank Seven Martial Vein, it’s more than enough to deal with him.”
The spiritless youth nodded.
They seemed to not put Hua Nongying in their eyes.
Although Hua Nongying was a spy sent by Wan Ben to the Hidden Dragon Battalion, these three people didn’t know about it.
Originally, Hua Nongying had jumped out with the intention of getting defeated, but he was somewhat angry after hearing their words. He planned to show the other party his strength first. Pretending to get defeated later wouldn’t be too late.
The long and thin treasure sword in his hands trembled, and a rose whirlwind tore the ground as he rushed toward that lively girl.
Although Hua Nongying’s cultivation base hadn’t made a breakthrough, the might of this sword move had obviously improved.
It was stronger than when he had fought against Ling Xiao.
If his opponent were an ordinary Rank Seven Martial Vein Martial Master, she absolutely wouldn’t have dared to be so careless since it might have led to her death.
However, this lively girl smiled and casually swung her hand.
A cyan-colored ripple appeared at the center of her palm, which rapidly enlarged and turned into a beast’s head. Upon a careful look, it resembled a wild boar with sharp fangs.
Although its appearance was not impressive, this beast head condensed with true essence easily broke his sword move.
Not only that, but after the beast head broke through his sword move, it actually continued to rush towards Hua Nongying.
“Not good!”
Bang~~
Hua Nongying realized the situation was anything but reassuring. Nevertheless, by the time he attempted to dodge, it was already too late. He was hit by that beast head and sent flying, directly colliding with seven or eight onlooking Hidden Dragon Battalion disciples.
This scene made General Ninth Month gloomy.
After all, he was one of the Tiger Guards in charge of the Hidden Dragon Battalion. Seeing a Deputy-Leader of the Hidden Dragon Battalion sent flying in one move, his heart sank.
Just ten or so days before, Ling Xiao had needed fifty moves to defeat Hua Nongying.
Wasn’t this girl much stronger than Ling Xiao? Who could resist her?
Moreover, according to his judgment, this girl was the weakest among those three geniuses from Heavenly Ren Academy.
“Damn it! The people of Heavenly Ren Academy are too strong. Deputy-Leader Hua was actually defeated in one move.”
“It’s over. This time, we’ll truly lose miserably. In the past, there was Dai Yuling. Now, ai! It’s over.”
The onlooking geniuses of the Hidden Dragon Battalion shook their heads, and a strong sense of inferiority appeared in their hearts. They even thought of betraying the battalion.
After all, men sought his way up just as water sought its way down. Talented youths naturally wanted to go to better places. They were not very loyal to Lin Ze.
This battle naturally alarmed Ling Xiao and the others. At this moment, he was rushing over.
Hua Nongying jumped up, wiped the bloodstains at the corners of his mouth, and coldly said, “I was being lenient before, but you unexpectedly thought lightly of me!”
After speaking, stronger true essence circulated around Hua Nongying’s sword as he began to burn his true essence.
Saying he had been lenient before was not excessive. After all, he had not burned his true essence in that move.
“Hehe, in that case, you can come again.”
The lively girl didn’t care at all. She just laughed as if Hua Nongying was not worth mentioning in her eyes.
“Good——Red Hurricane of Flower Sword!”
Although Hua Nongying was a planted agent, he was also a senior of these three. After being ridiculed by the other party like this, he was unable to control his anger. Worst come to worst, after teaching this girl a lesson, he could just give an explanation to the Governor.”
This time, his sword move was even more powerful.
