In a mont, Yue Ji ran back and, not noticing anything unusual between Ah Dai and Xuan Yue, threw a black robe to Ah Dai, saying, "I have no idea why you want a robe. We martial artists look better in fitted clothes!"
Ah Dai casually caught the robe and replied indifferently, "You all go to the conference hall first, I’ll co over after I change." As soon as his words fell, both Xuan Yue and Yue Ji felt an invisible energy enveloping their bodies. While they were still stunned, they found themselves outside the room, and the door was already closed. Yue Ji was greatly shocked; she knew the old Ah Dai—though his power was strong, his skills were quite poor. Although he appeared to have many secrets, his martial arts skills didn’t seem stronger than her siblings. But just now, she didn’t feel how she was moved out of the room at all, which seed possible only if the power levels between them were vastly different. She wanted to push the door open and ask Ah Dai, but Xuan Yue stopped her.
Xuan Yue knew that no matter what they asked Ah Dai now, he might not answer. He seed to have entered another realm, a realm that she couldn’t understand, seemingly in preparation for today’s group battle. She didn’t want to disturb Ah Dai, fearing it would affect his mindset, especially since they were to face five hundred formidable enemies today. They would have to wait until after helping the Moon Scar rcenary Corps today, then find a chance to ask him.
"Sister Yue Ji, let’s go to the conference hall first. Brother Ah Dai wants to maintain his best condition for today’s group battle."
Yue Ji gave Xuan Yue a puzzled look, shrugged helplessly, and then the two went to get Olivia and Kino in the next room and proceeded to the conference hall together.
In the room, Ah Dai had put on the black robe that Yue Ji brought. For so reason, ever since he woke from ditation, he felt a strong interest in black. Gently stroking the black robe on his body, Ah Dai’s mind was clearer than ever, as if everything was under his control. He slowly raised his right hand, intently observing his slender fingers. The fair palm slowly clenched into a fist, and suddenly the room seed to brighten, his entire fist appearing translucent like white jade, faintly shimring. With a flash in his eyes, Ah Dai articulated powerfully, "I—am—the—strongest—."
Outside Varo City, ten thousand soldiers of the Red Charming Clan in bright armor ford neat squares. At the front of the troops, City Lord Ling Ze of Red Hurricane City sat on a tall horse, expressionless, followed by a dozen generals. Today was the day of the big battle between two rcenary corps. To avoid conflicts, he led all the city’s defenders to pour out. He would be the judge of today’s decisive victory, witnessing for both sides. Ling Ze was not yet fifty years old and had been the city lord for more than twenty years. Since Moon Scar had been stationed here, he had reaped many benefits. Despite Moon Scar’s young age, he knew well how to conduct relationships, and the two sides had always gotten along well. When Ling Ze learned that soone dared to challenge them, he was also shocked. The Red Charming Clan was a nation of rcenaries that valued the laws of rcenaries greatly. Even though he appreciated the style of the Moon Scar rcenary Corps, he could not show favoritism in the decisive victory challenge. Moreover, he had to consider the interests of Varo City. Anyone bold enough to challenge with a decisive victory had absolute confidence in their victory. Once the challengers were stationed in Varo City, as an official, he would have to foster a good relationship with them, otherwise it would inevitably affect his own career.
Ling Ze looked up at the bright sky, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his sowhat boiling blood. After all, the challenge of decisive victory between rcenaries was such an exciting mont! Even in the rcenary world of Red Hurricane, an ordinary person might not witness it in their lifeti.
"Lord City Mayor, the Moon Scar people are here," whispered an underling beside Ling Ze.
Ling Ze’s spirits lifted, and he looked towards the city gates. Erging swiftly from the drawbridge was a cavalry troop roughly one thousand strong, all clad in leather armor and wielding long spears, the unit incredibly coherent, appearing like lightning across the sun-drenched earth. With precise commands, the cavalry spread out in a wing formation, led by Moon Scar, the leader of the Moon Scar rcenary Corps. Clad in shining silver armor, he looked extrely imposing under the sunlight. With the long spear raised high, Moon Scar signaled his troops to halt. Behind them, a thousand or so infantryn, each wielding Wide Sword and Leather Shield, marched out with large strides in two flanks. Under the leadership of Miao Fei and Wan Li, they ford into two neat squares of five hundred each, positioned behind the cavalry. These infantryn were all tall and robust, the backbone of the Moon Scar rcenary Corps. Once the infantry was positioned, another cavalry unit raced out from the city gate, dressed like Moon Scar’s troop; however, these soldiers each had a Long Knife on their back and held a sturdy bow. Saddle bags on both sides of their horses hung with quivers of Feather Arrows, and leading them was Yue Ji, proficient with the bow. In her dark red Armor, holding her Silver Bow, which was her best weapon, this Bow Cavalry could be called the ace of the Moon Scar rcenary Corps, possessing the characteristics of cavalry, archers, and infantry, having made countless contributions in glorious service.
