Hua Mulan became the Star Luo Empire's Grand Marshal, and Kai was named Champion Marquis!

The news of Hua Mulan wreaking havoc on the Dai Family and giving the White Tiger Duke a savage beating spread far and wide.

The people of Star Luo City talked about it for days, and it soon became the talk of every table.

Many said the Dai Family had gotten what they deserved. Who had told them to provoke General Hua first?

General Hua had already shown mercy by not wiping out the entire Dai Family.

Of course, not everyone sided with Hua Mulan.

Some thought she had gone too far. Punishing the people responsible would have been enough.

There had been no need to humiliate an imperial general in front of everyone.

That would inevitably make them a laughingstock in the Sun Moon Empire.

Of course, only a minority thought that way.

And among that minority, quite a few had secretly accepted favors from the Dai Family before speaking up for them.

Most people thought Hua Mulan had done the right thing.

In teahouses and taverns, those who had watched the battle that day discussed it with relish.

Their accounts were so vivid that one might have thought they had fought the battle themselves.

Those who had missed it could only beat their chests and stamp their feet in regret.

At the same time, everyone came to understand that even generals were worlds apart in strength.

The heroic image Dai Hao had so carefully crafted over the years slowly crumbled in the hearts of the empire's people.

A so-called hero who couldn't even withstand a single move from someone else-did he deserve to be called a hero?

A cowardly bear, more like.

Yet aside from this incident, another major event had taken place in the Star Luo Empire, one capable of reshaping the entire empire's balance of power.
