Hearing that his lordship allowed Chu Huaimin to issue a challenge, the many soldiers descended from the heavens suddenly had their eyes shining, each one becoming incredibly excited.
Even though they knew they could not defeat their lord, for the Northern King's power was simply too great, if they could cross hands with him, even defeat would be an honor, and even sothing to boast about for a lifeti.
Therefore, the scene suddenly beca sowhat restless, with everyone eager to try their luck.
Yet Chu Huaimin suddenly prostrated himself on the ground and cried out loudly, "My Lord's magnanimity is like the sea, and although I was not of age back then, I knew a thing or two about the affairs of my family. Indeed, my grandfather was at fault with the Chu family. Even if I harbored hatred back then, over the years, as I ca to understand my Lord, especially seeing my Lord bravely fighting the enemy on the Great Wall of Heaven, I realized how narrow-minded and petty the Chu Family was."
The more Chu Huaimin spoke, the more agitated he beca; his eyes even reddened. He took a breath and continued, "My Lord is dedicated to the Human Realm, even fighting to the death against the Demon Horn Tribe for the sake of the Human Race, unconcerned for his own life; such spirit and magnitude, if I still harbored resentnt against my Lord, then what difference would I have from those ungrateful, selfish wretches!"
"Well said!" Sima Zhantian, standing on both sides of the platform, suddenly bellowed out in response.
Xiao Chuanqi nodded and said, "This youngster is not bad, he understands the greater good, and his Innate Bone Talent is also quite exceptional. I suddenly find myself appreciating him. Chu Huaimin, if you wouldn't mind, why not co to my legion? Serve under as a Commander-in-Chief."
Chu Huaimin imdiately clasped his hands together in thanks and said, "Thank you, Regint Commander Xiao, for your recognition. I have long admired the Regint Commander, and am overjoyed to enter your ranks."
Sima Zhantian, however, was not pleased and cried out, "Hey, Xiao Chuanqi, are you trying to steal him from ? I was just about to say that I wanted to take him, but you've gone and snatched him away from . Really now..."
Leng Wuming couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, "Alright, big guy, didn't you hear that the Chu family kid has always admired Regint Commander Xiao? What does this have to do with you?"
"But..." naturally, Sima Zhantian was not convinced, though he had nothing more to say.
Xiao Chuanqi, however, turned to Chu Huaimin and said, "Look at those soldiers down there, one by one, they're all so excited. I think you feel the sa way, and to be honest, so do I. I can hardly wait to have a go at our Lord, knowing full well that I cannot prevail, but to cross hands with such a figure is a great honor indeed, a big deal to brag about for a lifeti. Since you, lad, have such an honor, you must seize the opportunity."
Indeed, Chu Huaimin was also very tempted, but he had concerns, and so he asked, "But wouldn't this be disrespectful to our Lord?"
Sima Zhantian couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, I was starting to like you, kid, but seeing you all hesitant now, you don't fit the bill for my ranks. What kind of person is our Lord? He always keeps his promises. Since he already made a promise, he will naturally not go back on his word."
Xiao Chuanqi added, "As long as it is a promise from our Lord, of course, it wouldn't be considered disrespectful. You go ahead and cross hands with our Lord; it's a kind of training for you, and a rare opportunity."
"Alright then, thanks for the reminder, both Commanders. I understand now. I want to challenge our Lord!" Chu Huaimin finally stood up.
The hundreds of soldiers from the Northern Border Army and students from the Martial Academy below imdiately cheered.
Ye Feng finally smiled, since he was very clear that even if Chu Huaimin would be defeated in the end, he had to take up the challenge now. If he chose to back down today, he might leave a ntal barrier in his heart, which over ti could even turn into a Heart Demon.
At low levels of cultivation it might not be apparent, but at the Yin-Yang Realm or higher, having a Heart Demon would be a terrifying matter.
"Co on, attack with all your might; let see what you've got!" Ye Feng beckoned with a wave of his hand.
Over there, Chu Huaimin's figure flashed onto the platform and he said with a bow, "Then, please forgive my boldness, your Lordship. Offense intended!"
"Give it your all, no need to hold back, you have three chances to strike!" Ye Feng said with a smile.
"Yes!" Chu Huaimin clenched his teeth with a resolute look in his eyes, showing that he was a man of strong will. In fact, if he weren't determined, he wouldn't have reached this point nor would he have achieved his current accomplishnts.
Ye Feng nodded slightly, now completely reassured that Chu Huaimin was not pretending; his display wasn't for show either.
"My Lord, here I co!"
With a cold shout from Chu Huaimin, the Spirit Essence in his body surged forth. He was now a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm, and although his foundation was still weak, his Talent was trendous, and it seed that he also had so of his own unique encounters.
Suddenly, with a whoosh, Chu Huaimin left an afterimage on the spot and then disappeared into thin air.
Upon seeing this, the onlookers below were astonished, and many exclaid, "What happened? How did Chu Huaimin suddenly vanish into thin air?"
"You're asking ? Who am I to ask? This is too bizarre, I can't even capture his elusive movents. But his aura is still there, he's still on the platform, it's just that we can't see him!"
Even Xiao Chuanqi was quite impressed and said, "This youngster seems to have cultivated a very profound Body Technique Martial Skill. Even I can only vaguely feel his movents; weaker experts from the Golden Core Realm probably can't see him at all."
Leng Wuming nodded and sighed, "No wonder this kid stood out during the battle at the Great Wall of Heaven. Aside from anything else, just based on this profound Body Technique Martial Skill, he would be enough to give many experts of the Golden Core Realm a headache. At the sa level, few probably could match his terrifying speed of movent."
At this point, Sima Zhantian couldn't help but ask, "With such a subtle movent technique, our Lord might not be able to handle it, right?"
Xiao Chuanqi and Leng Wuming grinned and said, "What do you think? If even we can vaguely sense it, could our Lord not see through his movent trajectory? It's just that the people below can't see through it, our Lord certainly can. After all, our Lord's Power is so profound and strong now, he has long surpassed us by far too much."
And as everyone below kept discussing, Ye Feng still stood there with his hands clasped behind his back, his expression calm and unruffled, his tranquility laced with a faint smile.
```
Suddenly, with a swooshing sound, Chu Huaimin appeared out of thin air beside Ye Feng and a golden dagger thrust directly towards Ye Feng's neck.
This assassination attempt was incredibly subli and could even be described as a certain kill. Many soldiers below saw this and exclaid in shock, so even covering their eyes.
One must admit that Chu Huaimin's attack was very powerful, one that many ordinary experts of the Golden Core Realm would likely find very difficult to resist.
However, Ye Feng was no ordinary Golden Core expert and was even beyond a normal Grandmaster of the Yin-Yang Realm, so naturally, he couldn't be injured so easily.
Just when Chu Huaimin's dagger was about to strike, Ye Feng's entire body turned into ripples and suddenly vanished into thin air.
This was truly disappearing without a trace!
There was no path to follow, and not only were the soldiers below unable to see through it, but even Xiao Chuanqi and others on the stage could not discern how Ye Feng had disappeared.
"Gai Jiuyou, did you see the trajectory of His Majesty's movent technique? His Majesty's aura is still above the ring, and it's not Void Teleportation, so he must have used a body technique," Xiao Chuanqi suddenly turned his head towards Gai Jiuyou.
Indeed, from the beginning, Gai Jiuyou had been standing there like a statue, his expression cold with a head of disheveled long hair, giving off an aloof and unruly air.
Although Gai Jiuyou had not been in the Northern Border in recent years, his renown was even greater than Xiao Chuanqi's and, due to so special reasons, Gai Jiuyou's combat power was the strongest among the Four Great Legion Commanders.
However, Gai Jiuyou was naturally aloof and cold, not prone to casual talk, so many in the Northern Border Army were both in awe and afraid of him.
It wasn't until Xiao Chuanqi spoke to him that Gai Jiuyou slightly opened his eyes and said, "I can only catch a glimpse."
After saying that, he closed his eyes again, but Sima Zhantian called out, "All three of us couldn't see clearly, and you can catch a glimpse. It seems you might be a bit stronger than us."
Gai Jiuyou suddenly said languidly, "It's not just a bit stronger, but much stronger. If you're not convinced, we can have a fight later on."
Sima Zhantian threw up his hands, "I don't want to fight with you, my skin is not itching."
Xiao Chuanqi and Leng Wuming both just smiled bitterly upon hearing this. In fact, they had to admit that Gai Jiuyou was much stronger than the three of them.
At this mont, Chu Huaimin, after missing his strike, was slightly stunned. It seed he was quite surprised that His Majesty could so easily evade his killing blow.
Just then, Ye Feng's figure suddenly appeared ten ters away, smiling faintly, "Your movent technique is good, but you need to pay attention to the use of Spirit Essence. Focusing solely on pushing your movent technique to the limit without integrating your own aura and Spirit Essence into it is like a bucket; though the bucket is large, it has weak spots, and it won't hold much water."
Chu Huaimin's talent was indeed remarkable, upon being reminded, he imdiately ca to an understanding, clasping his hands and saying, "Thank you for the guidance, Your Majesty. I understand now."
Ye Feng nodded slightly and said, "You have two moves left, co at again!"
Chu Huaimin closed his eyes in contemplation for a mont, then with a swooshing sound, his figure once again disappeared into thin air.
Xiao Chuanqi narrowed his eyes, sighing and saying, "This young man really has impressive talent, to grasp what His Majesty said so quickly. His speed has not only increased, but he's also completely integrated his Spirit Essence into his body technique martial skill. This is significant progress."
Leng Wuming also exclaid, "Indeed, I can feel that his aura has weakened. If he continues to train this way, he might really beco a king of assassins, and then even we will have to be careful facing him!"
All at once, Chu Huaimin reappeared out of nowhere and made his move again, but with his current Cultivation Strength, it was naturally impossible for him to be an opponent for Ye Feng, who deftly dodged the next two moves.
"Thank you for the instructive fight, Your Majesty. I've learned a lot from this exchange!" After the three moves, Chu Huaimin imdiately knelt on one knee and clasped his hands together.
"Rise, your talent is good. It seems that this body technique martial skill is a fortunate encounter for you. Follow this path well," Ye Feng gestured with his hand.
"Yes!" Chu Huaimin stood up and walked behind Xiao Chuanqi. Henceforth, he would probably follow Xiao Chuanqi, since Chu Huaimin was not yet qualified to follow Ye Feng directly on his present plane.
"Cao Tian, step forward!" Ye Feng turned.
Cao Tian was Boss Cao's grandson and had also perford well in the defense of the Great Wall of Heaven. His Talent Cultivation and age were similar to Chu Huaimin's.
In fact, it was clear to everyone that the Sovereign was not only rewarding rits but also cultivating the next generation of young leaders.
Just then, Gai Jiuyou suddenly spoke, "Let this young man, Cao Tian, co to . From now on, he will follow ."
Ye Feng nodded slightly and turned to Cao Tian, "You are to serve under Regint Commander Gai Jiuyou as Commander-in-Chief. Are you willing?"
"This subordinate is willing, thank you for Your Majesty's reward!" Cao Tian imdiately knelt to the ground.
Following that, Ye Feng rewarded a few more people based on their military achievents, and then this grand assembly finally concluded.
