Wang Xuan! You Motherfucker!

Wang Xuan watched the distance with icy eyes.

As his words fell, a series of footsteps echoed from behind the camp tents in the distance, and a figure slowly emerged.

Wang Xuan's gaze sharpened as he saw the person approaching!

Lu Yang!

Why is this guy here?!

"Truly excellent saber work!"

"No wonder Commander Yang values you so highly!"

Lu Yang clapped his hands with a smile as he walked out leisurely.

"So it's Young Master Lu!"

Wang Xuan watched Lu Yang with some wariness.

He had been completely focused on practicing the Ten Sun Blazing Saber, and hadn't noticed anyone spying on him. This guy had arrived at the training grounds at some point.

Sensing the coldness in Wang Xuan's words, Lu Yang smiled and said, "Brother Wang, don't be nervous, I don't have any ill intentions towards you!"

"Let me introduce myself, I am Lu Yang."

"From the Lu Family of White Water County, Commander Tang is my maternal uncle."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan's expression subtly changed.

White Water County had a total of five commanders.

However, two of those commanders were constantly away on expeditions with the myriad-household commander, leaving only three commanders to guard the county.

And this Tang Wande was one of them!

Wang Xuan had heard Wu Shan mention Lu Yang during the day, but he hadn't expected this guy to have such a relationship with Commander Tang!

Wang Xuan replied with a smile, "So it's Young Master Lu. What brings you here so late at night, instead of sleeping?"

Lu Yang walked up to Wang Xuan and said with a smile, "I couldn't sleep at night, so I came out for a stroll."

"Besides, isn't Brother Wang also not sleeping?"

Looking at Lu Yang's expression, Wang Xuan frowned.

"If Young Master Lu has nothing else, then please excuse me, Wang is going to continue practicing his saber techniques."

Wang Xuan didn't engage in much small talk.

Wu Shan had warned him to be wary of Lu Yang, and this guy had been watching for who knows how long. If he hadn't sensed something amiss, Lu Yang might have continued watching indefinitely.

Moreover, and most importantly, the way this guy looked at people carried an air of arrogance and disregard, which made Wang Xuan feel displeased.

Noticing Wang Xuan's indifference, Lu Yang didn't mind and smiled, "Brother Wang, don't be impatient. I was just watching you practice your martial arts, and I must say, I'm quite amazed."

"With Brother Wang's talent, I'm afraid you'll be promoted to a higher position soon!"

Wang Xuan felt disgusted listening to Lu Yang's flattery.

He still wore a smile on his face and replied, "Young Master Lu is too kind, my meager skills are not worthy of mention."

"If Young Master Lu has something to say, please speak plainly."

Lu Yang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Brother Wang is truly straightforward, I like dealing with people like you!"

"Then I won't waste any more words."

"Brother Wang, you must also be here for the Soaring Dragon Assembly, right?"

Hearing the three words "Soaring Dragon Assembly," Wang Xuan's heart skipped a beat!

Again, the Soaring Dragon Assembly!

"Yes, isn't Young Master Lu also here for it?"

Wang Xuan said calmly.

He didn't reveal that he didn't know about the Soaring Dragon Assembly.

Lu Yang chuckled softly and said, "This Soaring Dragon Assembly happens every three years, it's an old tradition of our Azure Province."

"Those who can enter are all dragons and phoenixes among men!"

"It's just a pity that our county only has one spot, there are truly too many wolves and not enough meat."

"Therefore, I want to make a deal with Brother Wang."

"I wonder what you think?"

"A deal? What kind of deal?"

Wang Xuan raised an eyebrow.

"It's very simple, and that is to follow me!"

"Clear all obstacles for me, and help me obtain the qualification for the Soaring Dragon Assembly!"

"And as a trade, if you help me obtain the qualification for the Soaring Dragon Assembly, I will recommend you to my uncle, so that you can directly become a centurion!"

"Once I enter the Soaring Dragon Assembly, I will surely rise to prominence. Choosing to follow me will definitely not be a bad thing for you."

"I've inquired about your situation. Your archery is superb, and you are highly valued by Commander Yang, but it seems Commander Yang doesn't particularly value you. He only promised you the position of a centurion."

"To be honest, it's a bit of an underestimate of you!"

"With your talent, you should be able to go further. And following me, I can let you reach even higher. Centurion is definitely not the starting point!!"

Lu Yang said with a smile.

His eyes were filled with boundless confidence and arrogance!

After hearing about Wang Xuan from Liu Ming during the day, he had people inquire about Wang Xuan's affairs.

The result was that if he hadn't inquired, it would have been fine, but once he did, he discovered that Wang Xuan was even more formidable than he had imagined!

Moreover, he had been observing Wang Xuan secretly for over half an hour, and his Martial Path had not only reached the Iron Skin Realm, but he had also mastered a saber technique that was at least of the eighth rank or higher!

In the Iron Skin Realm, he possessed absolutely powerful strength!

There was only one qualification for the Soaring Dragon Assembly in the entire White Water County!

And to obtain the qualification for the Soaring Dragon Assembly, the first step was to stand out from the new recruit camp assessment in the county town and enter the top three of the special-class assessment to be eligible to compete for it!

If Wang Xuan followed him, it would not only eliminate one opponent but also clear many obstacles for him.

However!

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

This guy really has a big mouth!

To speak so casually about the position of a centurion, isn't he afraid of his tongue flying away in the wind!

Moreover, according to this guy, this Soaring Dragon Assembly qualification must be very important, otherwise, there would be no need for a relative of a commander to compete for it!

Could it be that Commander Yang's purpose in sending me to the new recruit camp is for this!

For a moment, Wang Xuan thought a lot.

With his current strength and the merit he had established yesterday by killing the Demon-Human of the Pity Life Sect, he could completely skip the new recruit camp!

But!

Yang Tianfeng didn't do that.

"Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Lu."

"I don't have the habit of following others, so Young Master Lu should look for someone else."

Just as Lu Yang was smiling and waiting for Wang Xuan to agree, Wang Xuan refused indifferently.

His expression froze instantly.

He seemed unable to believe that Wang Xuan would reject him!

Lu Yang's face instantly turned gloomy, and he stared at Wang Xuan coldly, saying, "Are you in such a hurry to reject me because the price I offered wasn't high enough?"

"Or… is there another reason!"

Wang Xuan replied, "Young Master Lu is overthinking it."

"I came to join the army just to have a foothold in this chaotic world."

"As for the Soaring Dragon Assembly qualification you mentioned..."

"Let's rely on our own abilities."

The cold words entered his ears, and Lu Yang's face instantly darkened.

"Are you sure… you want to reject me?"

Lu Yang's entire body's aura surged, and Blood Essence pressure was released at this moment, crushing towards Wang Xuan without any scruples!

A powerful pressure swept over!

Lu Yang's Martial Path was probably only one step away from Iron Skin Completion!

But!

After facing the Dragon Serpent Realm Demon-Human yesterday, Lu Yang's Blood Essence pressure was like child's play in Wang Xuan's eyes.

It had no deterrent effect at all.

"Sorry, if there's nothing else."

"I still need to continue cultivating."

"Young Master Lu, please!"

Wang Xuan refused again.

Not to mention the importance of the Soaring Dragon Assembly qualification.

Just Lu Yang's attitude of acting like he was the second most important person in the world made Wang Xuan extremely unhappy.

Follow him?

Pui!

As for refusing Lu Yang, which would offend Tang Wande, Wang Xuan didn't care in the slightest.

He wasn't working under Tang Wande anyway, so what was there to fear?

Lu Yang stared intently at Wang Xuan, then suddenly sneered, "Fine, you're arrogant enough!"

"Looks like you've gotten carried away just from killing a few Pity Life Sect beasts!"

"Since you're so confident, we'll just have to wait and see!"

"Forgot to tell you, the special assessment has a quota for deaths. You'd better be careful, lest you die before you even pass the assessment!"

"I heard there's a beautiful sister-in-law in your family, what a pity..."

Lu Yang threatened without the slightest hesitation.

Hearing these words, Wang Xuan's killing intent surged!

The next moment!

Clang!

He suddenly drew his blade, and the Ten Sun Blazing Saber unleashed a strike!

Scorching saber energy swept out!

Lu Yang's expression changed drastically!

"Wang Xuan! You dare to attack!"

Lu Yang's Blood Essence erupted, and he immediately swung his fists to counter!

Bang!

With a muffled sound, Lu Yang was directly blasted away by the saber strike. Both sleeves of his arms were burned to ashes by the Ten Sun Blazing Saber's scorching saber energy!

His fists turned red, with faint signs of scorching!

Wang Xuan said coldly, "I hate it most when people threaten me."

Lu Yang's Blood Essence churned, his lungs about to explode with anger!

He never expected that Wang Xuan would dare to attack him directly!

With his status, he was respected wherever he went, and had never been treated like this before!

"You son of a bitch!"

"I'm going to kill you!"

Lu Yang roared.

He concentrated his Blood Essence in his fists, clearly about to use a martial skill to hammer Wang Xuan to death!

Wang Xuan's expression remained indifferent at this sight.

Although this Lu Yang was strong, he was still no match for those Demon-Humans from the Pity Life Sect last night, and could still be killed with a single strike!

"Stop!"

Just as the situation was becoming tense, a furious shout suddenly rang out.

Both of them immediately stopped.

Xu Kui strode over, his face gloomy.

"This is outrageous!"

"Who allowed you to fight here!"
