"Captain Zhang, why are you backing down? Fight him! Your strength is far superior!"
"In close combat, the methods of body cultivators are indeed terrifying!"
"The main reason is that this Martial Star's Law Spirit is willing to risk its life; just now, it even abandoned its heart defense to try and cut off Captain Zhang's head!"
The bar was bustling with activity.
Shouts and cheers filled the air.
After all, previous arena battles were mainly about winning, and such intense life-or-death battles were rare.
The many spectators watched the fight with great excitement, unaware that two important figures in their eyes had walked in, their gazes also drawn to the battle on the stage.
"Is this the Law Spirit from Martial Star who defected to the Divine Kingdom?"
Yin Wuzhou asked casually.
As he spoke, he found a private room and sat down, then gestured to the staff to keep quiet.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Liang Guan respectfully accompanied him, raised his hand and twirled a bottle of fine wine he had treasured for many years. He opened it and then introduced the wine, saying, "The King personally searched his soul and confirmed that he was harmless to the Divine Kingdom. In addition, he has good talent and is considered the strongest Law Spirit among the fallen Martial Star. Therefore, the Blazing Sun Army did not refuse his application and brought him into their ranks!"
"The strongest Law Spirit...?"
Yin Wuzhou murmured, his eyes flickering slightly, subconsciously thinking of the strongest human on Martial Star.
He knew that even if he became a god using the Time Rule, it would be difficult for him to catch up with his opponent.
Although once Martial Star fully recovers, his grandfather and Heaven-Slaying Immortal can kill him and prevent him from growing any further.
But it's never 100% certain.
As long as Ning Chuan lives, his threat will remain, like a dark cloud hanging over him.
"Call!"
A sense of frustration welled up in Yin Wuzhou's heart. He took a deep breath, raised the wine that Liang Guan had poured, and drank it all in one gulp.
At this moment, the battle on the arena came to an end.
Thump!
Ning Chuan, covered in blood, took a step out of the air, and with a loud bang, shattered the defensive light shield that Captain Zhang was using to block him, and trampled him under his feet.
Just as he was about to unleash his killing move, he was stopped by a mid-level officer in charge of the arena battle, who announced the end of the fight.
"The victor Black Ape from Squad 191 of Yellow Court Battalion!"
The arena battles are meant to settle scores between the two sides, and certainly cannot be a matter of life and death.
However, battle situations are constantly changing, and it's not always possible to stop them.
In previous ring battles, there have been some deaths, which are not particularly rare.
Looking into Ning Chuan's bloodshot eyes filled with murderous intent, Captain Zhang felt a pang of fear. If he had been a moment later, he might have really died!
"This is just a lesson for you. Don't push me any further!"
Ning Chuan's tone was chilling, tinged with murderous intent, as he said, "I have already told you frankly that Ning Chuan and I are not on the same side; he is also my mortal enemy!"
"If I could, I would crush him into mud!"
Ning Chuan lifted the foot that was stepping on Captain Zhang, his gaze sharp as lightning as he swept over the audience below the arena, and said in a stern voice, "You all know very well my origins, I come from Martial Star!"
"This is what I'm being targeted for, I understand, but don't blame me for retaliating!"
"When I came to the Blazing Sun Army and the King, I risked my life. It wasn't that I wasn't afraid of death, but that I wanted to rise to power!"
"I cannot choose my birthplace or background, but I must hold my future in my own hands!"
Ning Chuan roared fiercely, and his body, revealing blood and bone, conveyed a sense of tragic grandeur and devastation, which surprisingly drew applause and cheers from many people.
In terms of injuries alone, Ning Chuan's feigned condition was far more serious than his opponent's.
"This Martial Star's Law Spirit is quite good."
Yin Wuzhou withdrew his gaze and offered a fair assessment, saying, "If its opponent were as spirited as it, it would be the one to lose."
"To receive such praise from His Highness is its greatest honor!"
Liang Guan smiled and agreed, but an idea suddenly flashed through his mind. After a brief hesitation, he tentatively asked, "Your Highness, would you like to take this Law Spirit as your guard?"
"Um?"
Yin Wuzhou raised an eyebrow and glanced at Liang Guan.
Liang Guan immediately put down his wine cup, took a deep breath, and explained earnestly, "Its soul has been personally searched by the King, so its identity is beyond doubt. Its talent is equally powerful; it ranks among the upper-middle level of the Divine Guardian Guard, and it has the potential to reach the Universe Realm in the future!"
"The key point is that he comes from Martial Star, and in terms of both talent and strength, he is Martial Star only to... Ning Chuan!"
Liang Guan's heart was in his throat.
He knew that Yin Wuzhou's previous low spirits were because of Ning Chuan.
One wrong move, and he might lose even his position as deputy commander.
But he had to take a gamble.
At most, a chat with Yin Wuzhou Yin Wuzhou get him to become the new commander of the Blazing Sun Army.
Only by making a deep impression on Yin Wuzhou can he possibly follow him in battle, achieve merit, and strive to become Demigod.
The next moment, Liang Guan started racing, and he secretly let out a long breath.
He saw that Yin Wuzhou opposite him was not angry, but raised his wine glass and gently swirled it before turning his gaze back to the arena.
There, Ning Chuan stepped down, a smug smile on his face.
Part of it is a pretense of victory.
Some of it also stemmed from genuine emotions.
Liang Guan and Yin Wuzhou's conversation could not be kept from him; he learned of it all.
He could even glimpse Yin Wuzhou's thoughts at this moment.
Yin Wuzhou was already tempted by Liang Guan's proposal.
After all, he had been dealt a heavy blow by Ning Chuan before. Even though the secret revealed by the Mystic King had helped him recover, there was still no hope of catching up with Ning Chuan.
When an opportunity to humiliate Ning Chuan was presented to him, Yin Wuzhou, as an intelligent being, inevitably felt some desires.
Ning Chuan's secret manipulation of fate was enough to turn this desire into action!
Whoosh!
Before Ning Chuan had even stepped off the arena, a pill flew through the air and stopped in front of him, emanating a rich vitality.
It is clearly some kind of extraordinary healing elixir.
Ning Chuan and many other spectators looked in the direction from which the elixir had come.
This was the private room where Liang Guan and Yin Wuzhou were.
"Why haven't you thanked His Highness yet!" Liang Guan's voice was authoritative. Before the Blazing Sun Army, he was the deputy commander who ruled over countless lives. He said, " Black Ape, from this moment on, you are His Highness's guard!"
The words were finished.
The bar erupted in a cacophony of noise, creating a huge uproar.
Everyone knows that Yin Wuzhou has a bright future and a very high probability of becoming True God.
Becoming his bodyguard is like Heaven Ascension in one step.
Especially for soldiers without a strong background!
"This..."
Ning Chuan's expression froze, then turned to wild joy, before regaining its composure and bowing, saying, "Your Highness, I swear to follow you to the death!"
"That's right, it was a military salute. If you had knelt down to thank me, I might have changed my mind!"
Yin Wuzhou nodded, and seeing too many eyes on him, he got up and left.
" The Divine Kingdom has a vast territory; regardless of a soldier's background, they must at least possess sufficient courage!"
Yin Wuzhou's words caused a bloodbath in the arena battles for a long time afterward.
In every battle, life and death are inevitable!
Many people lost their lives as a result.
But none of them became Yin Wuzhou's guards again.
The soldiers and officers of the Blazing Sun Army could only watch with envy, marveling at the lucky guy named Black Ape.
Little did they know.
All of this is an inevitable trajectory woven from countless intertwined destinies.
Many of the comments made by spectators during that battle were carefully crafted.
After becoming Yin Wuzhou's bodyguard, Ning Chuan's life remained largely unchanged, except that his residence was moved from the barracks area to the central core area.
After all, he is currently still on the Sun Core, Yin Wuzhou usually focuses on cultivation, occasionally taking a stroll in the leisure area.
Ning Chuan's actions remained consistent: constantly gathering intelligence, and then, based on changes in the information he had, meticulously altering the trajectory of fate, like an invisible fishing net gradually tightening, binding Yin Wuzhou tightly without leaving a single gap.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
The Blazing Sun Army's voyage ended, and swarms of starships landed at the port, arriving at the western war zone of the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom.
