Tenth Battalion Grand Competition Begins

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

In the center of Mushan City, a massive training ground had been temporarily cleared.

The area surrounding the training ground was packed with people, countless citizens gathered to discuss the upcoming Tenth Battalion Grand Competition.

"This is a grand event that only happens once every two years, I had to come and join the excitement."

"I wonder which geniuses will emerge from the Warrior Camp this year."

"I heard that Old Wang's son from next door seems to have joined the army, I don't know if he'll do anything special."

"With Old Wang's personality, his son will be a grunt at best, what good could he possibly be?"

"And I heard that things have been a bit unstable outside recently. I heard that a caravan heading to the Sword-toothed Country was detained on charges of selling military supplies."

"What? Trade between countries is the most normal thing. Even if war breaks out, trade wouldn't be cut off!"

"The Sword-toothed Country actually detained a merchant caravan, how shameless!"

Hundreds, even thousands, of citizens began to indignantly denounce the Sword-toothed Country's shameless actions.

In contrast, the Running Wolf Nation's army, responsible for their safety, appeared kind and approachable in their eyes.

They brought food and wine, welcoming the new recruits participating in the Tenth Battalion Grand Competition.

"Young people, you are the hope of our Running Wolf Nation."

"Only if you are strong can the Running Wolf Nation avoid being bullied."

"Youngsters, keep up the good work!"

Amidst the anticipation of the masses, the various Warrior Camp contingents gathered.

At the forefront of the Eastern Second Warrior Camp.

Besides a few instructors, leading the way were the imposing Gu Chen and the valiant Yu Qitian.

As the top warriors of Mushan City's Second Warrior Camp, the two represented the camp's honor.

Gu Lin and a group of other warriors followed behind them.

One by one, they were flexing their muscles, ready for battle.

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time. I hope the warriors from other camps won't disappoint me."

Beside Gu Lin, a warrior chuckled, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

Gu Lin also smiled slightly, excitedly clenching his fists.

Originally, he had been injured by Wang Huan and his group, almost falling behind the other warriors.

But the Blood Tempering Pills that Gu Han gave him later gave Gu Lin a chance to regroup and catch up to the other warriors.

Now, with Gu Chen's help, Gu Lin had almost secured a spot in the top ten of the Second Camp!

This was even better than when Gu Lin first arrived at the Warrior Camp!

At the front of the line, Yu Qitian smiled as he looked at Gu Chen.

"Gu Chen, do you have confidence in entering the top five in this Tenth Battalion Grand Competition?"

Gu Chen's mouth twitched slightly upon hearing this. Yu Qitian was truly arrogant.

Each camp had nearly a thousand new recruits.

With a total of over ten thousand new warriors in the Tenth Battalion Grand Competition, how difficult was it to enter the top five?

And Yu Qitian started by aiming for the top five, completely disregarding the new recruits from other Warrior Camps.

However, Yu Qitian indeed had the capital to be arrogant.

To avoid revealing his strength, Gu Chen had only managed a slight victory when he sparred with Yu Qitian at his invitation.

If Gu Chen didn't have the Sword Elder's help, he might not have been able to catch up and consistently defeat Yu Qitian in such a short period.

"Top five?"

Gu Chen smiled.

"At least top three, right?"

Yu Qitian was stunned. He thought he was arrogant enough, but he didn't expect Gu Chen to be even more so!

"Heh, aren't you afraid of being too arrogant and getting your tongue twisted?"

Just then, an unfriendly voice came from not too far away.

Gu Chen and Yu Qitian looked in the direction of the voice together and saw an unfamiliar face also wearing warrior attire.

The person had his arms crossed, his head held high, and looked down at Gu Chen and the others with disdain, completely looking down his nose at them.

"A frog in a well, bragging about defeating warriors from other camps before the sparring has even begun, truly arrogant."

Gu Chen glanced at him indifferently.

"Whether it's arrogance or not, we'll know after a fight. As for you, I suggest you find a doctor. It's not a good habit to look at people with your nose, and no one will tolerate that behavior outside the military camp."

Hearing Gu Chen's mocking tone, as if he were speaking to an ant, made Huang Shaoshan's gaze darken.

"You're not even qualified to warrant a proper glance from me. When the Tenth Battalion Grand Competition starts later, don't come crying back to the barracks."

"You're like a baby who hasn't been weaned, so self-important, always looking for attention."

Gu Chen let out a cold laugh.

"I think the one who'll be crying and running home to their mommy later is you."

"You!"

Huang Shaoshan's face flushed with anger. Just as he was about to retort, the war drums of the central training ground boomed.

Huang Shaoshan snorted, and with a few warriors who looked like his lackeys, he spat on the ground and strode away.

Yu Qitian clenched his fists, his eyes narrowed, radiating a chilling aura.

"That guy really is asking for a beating."

"We were just talking about our aspirations within our own camp, and he butts in to disrupt our conversation and acts so arrogant. I really don't know who gave him the nerve."

Gu Han chuckled and shook his head.

"Looking at those lackeys behind him, I'd guess he's some young master from a certain city out to experience military life."

Yu Qitian smiled faintly.

"In their camp, others probably indulge him because of his connections and don't want to offend him. But if he thinks everyone will still humor him at the Tenth Battalion Grand Competition, he's in for a rude awakening."

Gu Chen smiled slightly, completely unconcerned about Huang Shaoshan.

However, since the other party had so readily offered himself up, he felt it would be impolite not to slap him hard during the Tenth Battalion Grand Competition.

"Brother Chen, Gu Han doesn't seem to be here yet."

Just then, Gu Lin approached Gu Chen and said, "I've looked around. All the logistics soldiers Gu Han shares a room with are here, but Gu Han isn't."

"Gu Han has his own matters to attend to."

Gu Chen knew Gu Han was strong. Perhaps he was undergoing special training at this very moment.

"It's just a small Tenth Battalion Grand Competition, no need to look for him."

Not far away, Yu Qitian, who had consciously moved aside to give Gu Lin space to talk, heard Gu Chen refer to the Tenth Battalion Grand Competition as "small" and couldn't help but smile wryly.

"If the warriors from other battalions heard him say that, they'd probably throw a fit."

To Yu Qitian's surprise, Gu Lin nodded in agreement.

It seemed that attending the Tenth Battalion Grand Competition was truly a waste of time for Gu Han.

"Isn't Gu Han a logistics soldier? Why does he sound like some incredible genius?"

Yu Qitian was filled with questions but had no opportunity to ask them.

Because, surrounded by the Head Instructors of various battalions, including Guan Shan, the commander of Mushan City, Guan Zhen, stepped onto the reviewing stand!

"The Tenth Battalion Grand Competition was established by my father, the general of Mushan City a hundred years ago."

"It has continued unbroken for the past century, so I won't elaborate further!"

"I declare, the Tenth Battalion Grand Competition, begins now!"
