Tianfeng City, Dragon Gate Harbor.
Billowing smoke drifted out from a deep pit in the harbor. It was emitted by the Fantasy Pills burned by the Baiyun Province's border general, Lin Ze.
As the Baiyun Province's border general, Lin Ze was probably the only person in the entire Baiyun Province who did not fear Governor Wan Ben.
He was upright and plainspoken, and abhorred evil.
His attitude toward ninjas was completely different from Governor Wan Ben's.
Although the burning of the Fantasy Pills at the Dragon Gate Harbor was an order from the Northern Han Imperial Court, if Lin Ze had not stood his ground, the matter would not have been carried out in the Baiyun Province.
On the day of the burning of the Fantasy Pills, young cultivators from Tianfeng City came to observe.
Lin Ze announced something on the spot. Due to the support of the Tianfeng City's young cultivators for the burning of the Fantasy Pills, a few of them would be chosen to go with him to Baiyun Province and enter the Border General's residence to be groomed.
The influence of this matter among the cultivators was naturally greater than the burning of the Fantasy Pills.
That day, Lin Ze set up an arena at the harbor and ordered one of his young subordinates to accept the challenge.
The cultivator's name was Lin Chen.
He was a sixteen-year-old cultivator at the peak of the sixth layer of the Martial Vein Realm. He could be considered to have a boundless future.
The requirement was very simple. If one could exchange over a hundred moves with him, they would be qualified to go with him to Baiyun Province.
Lin Ze sat in the referee's seat. He was dressed in martial attire and radiated a heroic aura. He was tall and straight, and his beard was about a foot long.
Although he was over fifty years old, he looked very healthy. His body seemed to contain a terrifying power.
Just by sitting there, he gave off an enormous pressure.
However, it was very strange. No matter how one looked at him, Lin Ze seemed to be an extremely ordinary cultivator.
Everyone found it very strange. Where did that powerful pressure come from?
Perhaps only after reaching the Martial Master realm could one truly understand how terrifying Lin Ze was.
The reason why Lin Ze looked like an ordinary cultivator was because he had cultivated to a terrifying level of Quintessential Essence. Even if he did not use any aura-concealing martial arts, he could still restrain his Quintessential Essence.
The reason why he was still so mighty and terrifying was because he was a general.
That was because, as a general, he had slaughtered on the battlefield. The number of foreign martial artists who had died at his hands was not a small number.
That kind of might could be understood as killing Intent. It was not something that could be cultivated through pure cultivation. It could only be tempered through slaughter.
It was rumored that when Lin Ze was thirty years old, he had already reached the ninth level of the Martial Vein and opened nine Martial Veins.
That year, he had single-handedly taken the enemy's head and saved the life of the prince of the Sacred Dynasty.
In that battle, he actually killed more than ten martial artists of the same level in succession, shocking the entire imperial court and causing the bandits to be utterly defeated.
What was even more terrifying was that after Rinze was promoted to the position of Border Guard General, there was once when he chased after a ninja assassin who had sneaked into the White Cloud Capital to assassinate the previous governor.
He actually chopped off the head of a ninth-level demon beast with a single slash, and finally cut off the head of the ninja.
There were many legends about this person. There were even many stories and stories about him among the common people. In all of Northern Han, and even in the Sacred Dynasty, there were very few people who had never heard of Lin Ze.
And this time, Lin Ze came to the Dragon Gate to burn the Illusion Pills that harmed people. He even fought against three ninjas at the 9th level of the Martial Vein and killed all three of them.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for so many Illusion Pills to be seized.
Because of this, Lin Ze's appearance really made the Dragon Gate and even Tianfeng City's martial artists go crazy.
After all, the strongest person in the entire Tianfeng City was only the Ling Clan's ancestor, Ling Xiaotian, who was only at the peak of the 7th level of the Martial Vein.
In front of Lin Ze, Ling Xiaotian was like a baby who wasn't even a month old, not worth mentioning.
Now, Lin Ze gave everyone a chance, a chance to follow Lin Ze!
Who wouldn't be tempted?
Unfortunately, the Tianfeng City's martial artists really disappointed Lin Ze.
Since the beginning of the selection, not a single martial artist could last more than three moves from Lin Chen.
Now that over a hundred people had challenged him, Lin Ze gradually lost his patience. He started to doubt whether his decision this time was correct.
Actually, there was a reason why he did this.
He heard that the Heavenly Ninja Academy led by the ninjas had once come to Tianfeng City to scout for talents. They obtained a person called Li Xinghui and another called Shi Yulian.
He had seen these two people before, and they were indeed extraordinary. With a little tempering, they could become useful talents.
It was because of this that he thought of holding such a selection.
However, the reality made him a little disappointed.
"Could it be that in such a big Tianfeng City, there really isn't a talented young martial artist? Or are all the talents recruited by the Heavenly Ninja Academy? "
Lin Ze shook his head gently and looked at the sky. It was almost dark, so he decided to wait until it was dark to end this boring selection.
However, at this moment, a person suddenly appeared in the arena.
"Junior Ling Feifan greets the Border Guarding General!"
"Ling Feifan?"
Lin Ze vaguely heard that the Ling Clan was surrounded by the ninjas, the Shi Clan, and the Li Clan, but they survived in the end.
There must be a talent in the ninjas.
"Sir, I've heard of this person."
Lin Chen whispered, "I was fortunate enough to visit Tianfeng City and the Ling Clan once. This Ling Feifan was known as the most outstanding talent in the younger generation of the Ling Clan. Like Li Xinghui, he was one of the four princes of Tianfeng City!"
"Oh?"
"And that was a year ago. The current Ling Feifan seems to be even better than a year ago."
Lin Chen continued.
"If that's the case, then let him try. But you can't be merciful. If he can withstand a hundred moves from you, then we'll take him away. If he can't, then we'll immediately stop this boring selection."
Lin Ze said that for a reason.
Since Ling Feifan was one of the four princes of Tianfeng City like Li Xinghui, then he should be the top of the younger generation in Tianfeng City. If he couldn't do it, then the others couldn't.
"I understand!"
Lin Chen naturally wouldn't be merciful. He was about the same age as Ling Feifan, and now he was following General Lin Ze. If he was defeated by Ling Feifan, not only would he be humiliated, but Lin Ze would also be humiliated.
"This young man is not bad. He looks like he's only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he has already reached the sixth level of the Martial Vein. This is very rare, at least in a small place like Tianfeng City."
Lin Ze was looking forward to Ling Feifan's performance.
After all, Ling Feifan was much stronger than the previous warriors.
Ling Feifan looked at Lin Ze with excitement in his heart.
In fact, he had already returned to Tianfeng City, but he didn't dare to approach the Ling Clan when they were besieged. He even came to the Dragon Gate Harbor and wanted to leave Tianfeng City by boat.
Because he felt that the Ling Clan was finished, and he would definitely die if he stayed here.
But man proposes, God disposes. He learned to take the Illusion Pill in the Dragon Gate Harbor, and his strength increased rapidly. He was now a peak sixth level martial artist.
However, the terrifying side effect of the Illusion Pill forced him to submit to the ninjas.
