On this day, Martial City was bustling with noise and excitement.
However, there was an undercurrent in the bustle.
The forces of the 12 cities in the outer circle were eyeing the position of the City Defense Army Commander.
Even the big shots from the 12 cities in the inner circle were paying close attention to the performance of the martial artists they sent.
Although they didn't show up personally, they sent representatives.
This made the City Defense Army Commander Selection in Martial City particularly lively. The competition was also particularly intense.
Those who were as clear-minded as a mirror understood.
This wasn't a simple selection of commanders.
It was related to the relationship between the royal family and the other families.
The Qi Family was at the peak of their power. If they really rebelled, the royal family would suffer heavy losses even if they suppressed them.
Now, both families were unwilling to fall out with each other.
Therefore, they could only fight on this matter.
There were also some rising families that hoped to stand out in this competition.
For example, the Yang Family.
The Yang Family had a peerless genius, Yang Qi, which caused the entire family's status to rise.
This time, they naturally sent martial artists to compete.
Therefore, although Ling Xiao seemed to be fighting for himself, he actually had the royal family's support behind him.
Except for Huang Xue, the princess who always wanted to kill Ling Xiao.
The others still hoped to see him win.
Because if he won, it would mean that the royal family won.
This could greatly increase the royal family's morale and make those rascals give up their rebellious thoughts.
"Let's go. For the Commander Selection this time, Fanghua, Han Yuan, Chen Qi, the three of you should come along.
Help me eliminate as many people as possible. "
No matter how strong Ling Xiao was, he would be exhausted eventually. Therefore, it was necessary to have helpers.
"Understood!"
The three of them nodded. Then, everyone headed toward the large drill ground.
The previous Corporal Selection was held in the large drill ground. This time, it was the same for the Commander Selection.
However, in terms of influence and scale, this time, it was much larger.
…
On the large drill ground, the 10 arenas had been renovated. They could withstand more powerful attacks.
At this moment, the large drill ground was packed with people.
Other than the martial artists from Martial City, the martial artists from the other cities in the outer circle were also there to watch the fun.
The chaotic atmosphere only served to accentuate the importance of today's selection.
When Ling Xiao led the martial artists of the ninth platoon to the large drill ground, it quickly attracted the attention of the crowd and the sounds of discussion.
There were both positive and negative comments.
However, Ling Xiao didn't care about this. The discussions before the selection were too subjective and arbitrary.
The comments after the match were more realistic.
Ling Xiao looked up at the stage.
The City Governor of Martial City and a few Deputy Commanders were sitting there.
However, there was an empty seat.
That was the position of Martial City's Commander, who was absolutely qualified to sit on the same level as the Martial City's City Lord.
This position had been vacant for a long time.
It was rumored that the previous commander had been killed.
Ling Xiao guessed that it was most likely Qi Tianmei's doing. She wanted to pave the way for Qi Heng, but she didn't expect Huang Xue to interfere and organize a commander selection assembly.
He guessed that Qi Tianmei must be very angry.
Unfortunately, he couldn't get angry yet.
Qi Family was very powerful now, but compared to the royal family, they were still lacking.
Hence, if they started a rebellion without sufficient preparation, even if they could inflict heavy damage to the royal family, their Qi Family would still be annihilated.
That would only benefit other families. They wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
"Princess Huang Xue and Princess Huang Yu have arrived!"
Along with the loud and clear voice, Huang Xue and Huang Yu appeared at the same time.
Today, the two of them were quite ostentatious. It also showed how much importance the royal family placed on this selection.
Huang Xue looked at Ling Xiao coldly. Her eyes revealed a trace of coldness.
She had played both overt and underhanded, but she still couldn't win against Ling Xiao. This made Huang Xue very angry.
"Sister, you must be hoping that Ling Xiao wins today, right?"
Huang Yu suddenly said with a smile.
"Don't be complacent. Ling Xiao won't have a good time in today's selection!"
Huang Xue glanced at Huang Yu and snorted coldly.
"Then we will wait and see."
Huang Yu smiled.
He believed that today's selection would be fair because there were not only people from Qi Family among the judges, but also people from the royal family.
Qi Tianmei wouldn't mess around.
"Your Highness, can we start now?"
Qi Tianmei stood up and bowed to the two princesses. Then, she asked.
The two of them nodded at the same time.
Immediately, the drums and music on the military field sounded.
It was an extremely lively scene.
The music stopped.
Qi Tianmei said loudly, "Martial City's commander selection battle begins now!"
Along with her voice, the entire field became quiet.
"Selection battle atmosphere: Team A and Team B!
The top five will be decided!
After that, the top five from Team A and Team B will fight. Defeat the five from the other team and you will be declared the winner.
The five people who win will become the deputy commander of the city defense army. If you are not satisfied, you can use cultivation resources to replace the reward.
In the end, the champion among the five people will be the commander candidate! "
The teams were randomly assigned.
However, no one knew whether it was intentional or not. Anyway, the four contestants of the ninth team were all in Team A.
The martial artists sent by the City Lord Mansion and Huang Xue were in Team B.
The rest of the contestants were evenly split between the two teams.
This made the people in Team A dissatisfied.
Because Qi Heng, Huang Tae-woon, and Yang Xiu, the three most likely to become the commander, were in Team B.
They thought that Team A would lose for sure.
If Team A lost, they wouldn't have the qualifications to become the commander or deputy commander. That would be too unlucky.
However, Ling Xiao was very happy.
He was very clear about the strength of the three people under him.
Putting aside Han Yuan and Chen Qi, Yue Fanghua wasn't weaker than him.
As for the rest of Team A, none of them were a match for the four of them.
This was obviously intentional.
The following battle also proved Ling Xiao's guess.
In the end, the five people in Team A remained. Just the ninth team took up four people. The other person was only a mid-stage Eighth Level Divine Physique Echelon martial artist.
Obviously, the so-called balanced distribution was just a cover.
If the four people in the ninth team were removed, Team A's overall strength was much weaker than Team B.
Those left in Team B were all tough.
All five of them had reached the peak of the Eighth Level Divine Physique Echelon.
Qi Heng, Huang Tae-woon, Yang Xiu, Huang Ling, and Gu Qiu!
They were extremely powerful.
"Haha, Team A is going to lose for sure!"
Huang Xue laughed.
Huang Yu also frowned. In her opinion, Ling Xiao probably had to go all out to defeat Qi Heng.
None of the remaining four people were easy to deal with.
It was really possible that Team A was going to lose for sure like what Huang Xue said.
"Both teams, please come on stage!"
The center of the largest arena was where the battle was going to take place. There were also seats on the four sides for the contestants.
Therefore, before the battle, both teams could go on stage and greet each other.
Well, it was originally a greeting, but when both teams went on stage, the greeting changed.
"Ling Xiao, do you still remember what happened in the Dragon Cave?
I, Qi Heng, am a very vengeful person. Don't even think about the commander's position.
Just take care of your own life! "
Qi Heng said sinisterly.
