Inside the training room.
Suddenly, a figure flashed out and fell to the ground. This figure was Li Changfeng, who had been cultivating in the training system for a year.
At this moment, he was in a sorry state, with disheveled hair, tattered clothes, and some new and old wounds, looking as dirty and filthy as a beggar.
A glint of light flashed in his eyes. In the year he had been practicing this martial arts system, he had finally mastered the [Dominating Leg Technique] technique and could use it at will, but he could only use the first move!
Li Changfeng then lay down on the large bed, his face twitching involuntarily. That one movement had aggravated all his injuries. He gave a bitter laugh and said, "I've been in a terrible state this past year!"
During that year, he practiced martial arts to heal his injuries, slept on the ground when he was tired, and practiced martial arts when he woke up. In this way, he finally mastered the move in a year. It was extremely difficult!
After resting for a while.
Li Changfeng slowly took off his torn clothes, revealing his body covered in wounds, especially the wound on his chest, which still ached faintly.
After changing his clothes, Li Changfeng swallowed a Supreme Healing Pill and then used his internal energy to push out the Latent Injury that had accumulated in his body over the past year!
"Puff"!
Li Changfeng coughed up a mouthful of stagnant blood that had been building up for a long time, and his whole body felt instantly lighter. He then stretched his muscles and bones, feeling that the pain was gone, and laughed, "This Latent Injury is finally gone. I should be fully healed after a few more days of rest!"
One month later.
Inside the training room, Li Changfeng had already mastered the basics of the Mount Song Swordplay. After executing a move, he slowly sheathed his longsword.
He frowned. "Although I've mastered the basics of this swordsmanship, it still feels a bit awkward!"
"It seems the problem lies with this longsword!"
After all, it wasn't Li Changfeng's Azure Rainbow Sword, so the feeling of using it was vastly different!
"Reporting to Commander! Her Highness the Princess requests your presence! Please come to her!" A voice from the Brocade-Clad Guard outside the door suddenly rang out.
"Okay! I understand! I'll go right away! You can leave now!"
"I obey!"
Princess Manor.
"Brocade-Clad Guard Thousand-Household Wu Embroidered Uniform Guard! Greetings, Your Princess!" Li Changfeng greeted Princess Manor with clasped hands.
Princess Minmin turned around inside the mansion and smiled, "Little monk! You've come!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng's face fell, and he said helplessly, "Your Princess! Please don't call me 'little monk'! I'm really not used to being called 'little monk'!"
"What's wrong, little monk! Isn't everything fine? I'm definitely going to call you that!"
Li Changfeng patted his forehead and said helplessly, "Fine! Whatever! I wonder what instructions Her Princess has for me?"
Princess Minmin smiled slightly upon hearing this, and suddenly a long sword appeared in her hand. With a fierce flick, it transformed into a blur in the air, accompanied by the sound of wind breaking, and flew rapidly towards Li Changfeng with extremely fierce power!
Upon seeing this, Li Changfeng's eyes narrowed. Just as the longsword was about to strike him, he suddenly struck out, creating an afterimage in the air, and steadily caught the longsword in his hand.
Then, when Li Changfeng grasped the sword hilt, he felt a familiar sensation, as joyful as if he had known an old friend for a long time.
Then, with a sudden pull, a deep sword hum rang out, and a pale red longsword was slowly drawn out.
The longsword emitted a sharp, eerie light, its pale red blade tinged with a faint golden hue, and a sharp, cold glint emanated from its edge.
Then Li Changfeng took out a strand of hair, gently placed it down, and it was immediately cut in two. It was an excellent weapon!
Li Changfeng stroked the sword a few times with obvious affection, then unleashed three sword strikes in the air, producing several crisp, clear sword cries that rippled through the air with powerful sword energy. The power was immense!
"Excellent! Excellent! Absolutely excellent!"
"Not bad, right! I wanted to keep this sword for myself when I saw it! You got a good deal this time!"
"Hahaha! Thank you for your generous gift, Princess! I will go through fire and water for you!"
"Alright! Now I have a task for you!"
"What mission?"
"That sissy Yuhuatian! He has secretly instigated many sects to suppress our Brocade-Clad Guard and the eunuchs of the Eastern Depot."
"The capital is in complete chaos right now. I need you to severely suppress these traitors. You are in charge of this matter!"
Li Changfeng frowned upon hearing this. "I'm in charge of this? Doesn't that mean I'm the strongest fighter? Those sects also have quite a few grandmaster-level experts! If it's just me alone, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult!"
Princess Minmin chuckled upon hearing this, "Don't worry about that! The Grandmaster-level contestants will be handled by the Grandmaster-level commanders. You only need to be in charge of the younger generation of contestants! Otherwise, how could you, with your First-Rate Peak strength, become a commander?"
"I see! I understand now! Leave this task to me, don't worry!"
"Alright! Now that you understand, you may take your leave!"
"I obey!"
Thousand-Household Manor.
At this moment, Li Changfeng slowly returned to the main hall of the Thousand-Household Manor' Mansion, preparing to discuss countermeasures with his subordinates. As soon as he arrived at the door, he found that a commotion had broken out inside.
"Hmph! I don't know what Her Princess was thinking, suddenly bringing in a First-Rate Peak expert from outside to be a commander!"
"Hey! Old Li, you look pretty defiant!"
"Hmph! Old Wang! You talk as if you're completely subservient to him!"
"Hehe! I didn't say that, I just heard he's pretty good!"
"Hey! Stop arguing! If Commander Qian hears this, he'll probably give you a hard time!"
"Hmph! Old Zhou! You're always so cowardly and afraid of trouble!"
"That's right! That's right! Old Li! You're absolutely right. You're a centurion now, how come you're always so cautious and timid!"
Just then, a tall, sinister-looking centurion's ears twitched, and he said gravely, "Quiet! The commander is here!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately fell silent, waiting for Li Changfeng's arrival.
Li Changfeng had been watching from outside the door for a long time. He deliberately made a noise just now to let them notice him, and also to give them a way out.
He didn't want to push things too far. After all, this mission involved a whole team, and he didn't want to start off on bad terms with these people!
Li Changfeng slowly walked in, and none of the ten centurions around him paid him respects; instead, they looked at him with sarcasm.
Then Li Changfeng took his place in charge, slowly drew his long sword, and a majestic aura emanated from it, arousing envy, jealousy, and hatred among the surrounding centurions. Some even revealed greedy expressions, wanting to possess the long sword for themselves.
Li Changfeng sheathed his longsword and slammed it into the ground, causing the ground to crack open. A surge of energy rushed towards them as he smiled and said:
"I know you all disdain me, a First-Rate Peak expert! Not only will I not give you a chance, but if you can snatch this longsword from me, I will give it to him and even relinquish my position as commander of a thousand men!"
Upon hearing this, a commotion immediately arose among the crowd, and one of the centurions couldn't help but ask, "Is this really true?"
"Really!"
These words ignited a strong fighting spirit and greed in all the centurions present.
They all wanted to take Li Changfeng's longsword and even more so, they wanted to become Li Changfeng's commander.
"Yes! It's too much of a bully to let you guys go up against my strength like this!"
"How about this? I'll give you my feet and one hand! That way, at least no one will gossip about it!"
