Chapter 711: Who Else?
An Yuzhi felt his body go light.
He fell into a soft embrace.
“Cough!” He spurted another splat of blood and struggled to raise his head. “Miss... Miss Lou.”
Lou Qianxue’s expression turned cold as she fed him a pill. “Eat it.”
At the same time!
Whoosh!
Fury raged in her eyes.
“Thank you! An Yuzhi, I will avenge you!”
If An Yuzhi had not helped her by distracting Xu Tailang, Lou Xiaoxiao and the rest might have suffered from heavier injuries...
Lou Qianxue mercilessly looked at Xu Tailang.
Before this, she had not deemed Xu Tailang as a worthy opponent.
However, now...
Since he wants to ascend the life-or-death battle stage, then I shall fulfill his wishes!
She laid An Yuzhi on a huge boulder by the side. “Rest now! Leave everything to me.”
With a cold gaze, she slowly walked toward Xu Tailang. A breeze blew past her, blowing her light-colored dress. As her clothes fluttered, it seemed as though a deity had descended.
An Yuzhi was moved by this sight. He got lost in her breathtaking appearance for a moment.
“Lou Qianxue, what a surprise to see that you didn’t run away!” Xu Tailang coldly looked at her. “Your friend and family members have all been defeated and shall remain here. You’re no exception!”
Swish!
Lou Qianxue held the Wu Jin Meteorite Iron in her hands. “Really? Then, try me!”
At this moment,
“Brother Xu!” A soft and gentle voice suddenly rang out. “The time is almost up! The second assessment is about to end!”
“Hmm?” Xu Tailang’s expression changed, and he furiously looked at Lou Qianxue. “If you had not dragged this for so long...”
As he spoke...
Whoosh!
He quickly flew toward the peak.
Lou Qianxue’s gaze flickered, and she glanced at An Yuzhi. “Rest here with Sister Xiaoxiao and the others. I will help all of you finish the things you wanted to do!”
Whoosh!
She quickly chased after Xu Tailang.
A short while later...
Xu Tailang reached the peak.
Lou Qianxue also reached the peak.
Including Suo Yingying, a total of 21 people had reached the hill range battle stage.
Zhen Guogong spoke in a loud voice. His Essence Martial Power-filled voice could be heard all over the hill range. “Twenty-one people have reached the battle stage and completed the assessment. They shall qualify to fight in the army! However, the general is a young man this time. After serious consideration, the emperor has decided that he shall pick the most outstanding of you all to be the assistant general who will guard and follow the general. If any of you are willing, you may stand on the battle stage and challenge your partners! If you aren’t, then step down from the battle stage!”
Boom!
“A young general? Since when did our Tian Zhao Empire have a young general? Could it be that Second Young Master has decided to set off in a conquest again?”
“It’s possible! After all, Zhen Guogong has recovered. He will probably return to the border this time. It’s normal for Second Young Master to return with him!”
“But... if it’s Second Young Master, then why isn’t Zhen Guogong the general? Why let Second Young Master command? I think that the general is not Second Young Master, but someone with a higher position than Zhen Guogong!”
“A young person whose rank is higher than Zhen Guogong, doesn’t that leave us with the Third Prince and the Crown Prince?”
“Crown Prince? The Crown Prince has been sick and bedridden for years. Even getting out of bed is a problem for him. It’s definitely the Third Prince!”
“It’s hard to say, but I heard that the ‘Jade-Masked Blast’ cured Crown Prince’s sickness...”
“You guys are only concerned about the general... Aren’t you all curious about who will be the assistant general?”
“What is there to be curious about? That lad from the Xu family is a Heavenly Martial Realm expert like Emperor Ying! Who else but him is qualified to be the assistant general?”
“Exactly! Exactly!”
The crowd was discussing the matter when...
The participants who had passed the assessment looked at one another, then they cupped their fists at Xu Tailang. “Young Master Xu has convinced us of how power. We are willing to admit defeat and give up.”
Saying that, all of them jumped down the battle stage.
Xu Tailang’s father smugly stroked his beard. “This is the might of a Heavenly Martial Realm expert! My son is truly extraordinary. In all of the Tian Zhao empire’s young generation, who else can come close to my son?”
