Inside the Vanguard Battalion, Chief Yun Feng was sitting opposite a middle-aged swordsman.
"I've already said, if Mo Fan can't convince the members of the Eighth Battle Team, you can take him away," Yun Feng said.
"I know, if Mo Fan doesn't have the ability, he won't stay here with his arrogant personality," the middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Mm," Yun Feng nodded. He was the Chief of a battalion, so he was well aware of the personalities of the members.
For example, the Eighth Battle Team, Dong Ting had broken through to the Nirvana Realm. He was leaving the Vanguard Battalion to report to the Adjudicator Battalion and become a member of the Adjudicator Battalion. The Eighth Battle Team had to choose a new captain.
According to the usual practice, the new captain was chosen within the Battle Team. Normally, the Battle Team would choose the new captain and announce it.
There were exceptions, such as a new captain being appointed out of nowhere, but such cases were rare. This time, if an old friend in the army hadn't put down his pride and repeatedly asked for it, Yun Feng wouldn't have agreed. Even if he did agree, there would be conditions.
The new captain, Mo Fan, had to be able to convince the members of the Eighth Battle Team. If he couldn't do it, they would have to obediently return to where they came from.
… …
"My name is Mo Fan. From now on, I'm your captain," the unfamiliar swordsman with a cold face said in an indifferent tone.
He looked younger than thirty, but his actual age was more than thirty. His cultivation was at the late stage of the Ninth Firmament of the Fortune Realm. There was a hint of arrogance between his eyebrows. It was likely that he had an extraordinary background and outstanding talent to have such arrogance.
However, the members of the Eighth Battle Team were not interested in such arrogance.
They didn't gather together. Instead, they looked at Mo Fan. After hearing Mo Fan's words, they exchanged glances with one another, unable to react.
"Shouldn't the new captain be Vice-captain Shangguan or Vice-captain Hua Ye?" Lin Kai murmured.
His voice was not loud, but everyone could hear him. Mo Fan frowned when he heard it. His eyes flickered with displeasure, but he didn't say anything. He glanced around and observed every member of the Eighth Battle Team.
Before he came here, Chief Yun Feng had already told him some things. He knew that the new captain wouldn't be able to gain the approval of the Eighth Battle Team immediately.
"If you don't agree, I'll defeat you all with my strength and convince you all." This was Mo Fan's idea, and what he planned to do.
"Why would there be a five-star Sword Of Gojoseon?" Mo Fan's gaze landed on Chu Mu as he frowned. He treated himself as the captain of the Eighth Battle Team and said, "I don't care what kind of background you have. However, a mere five-star Sword Of Gojoseon is in my battle team. I will not allow that. Are you going to leave on your own, or do you want me to expel you?"
Chu Mu was slightly startled by Mo Fan's words, before his eyes flickered coldly.
The rest of the members of the Eighth Battle Team burst into laughter after recovering from the initial shock. They were not idiots. They could tell that the new captain, Mo Fan, was trying to establish his dominance. And the first step to establish his dominance was Chu Mu, the five-star Sword Of Gojoseon.
From the looks of it, he didn't do his homework properly. He didn't know that Chu Mu was the most dazzling member of the Eighth Battle Team. If anyone treated him as a true five-star Sword Of Gojoseon, they would be hopelessly stupid.
That being said, perhaps Director Yun Feng had purposely kept it a secret from Mo Fan.
"Even though Chu Mu is a five-star Sword Of Gojoseon, he's still a member of the Eighth Battle Team. He's our brother," Shangguan Hua said as she stepped forward.
"Who are you?" Mo Fan stared at Shangguan Hua with glittering eyes.
"The vice-captain of the Eighth Battle Team, Shangguan Hua," Shangguan Hua said calmly.
"Vice-captain …" Mo Fan wore a cold grin, "Are you disobeying my order?"
Was Mo Fan stupid?
He was not stupid. He had his own reasons for choosing Chu Mu as his opponent. Shangguan Hua had stepped forward, and was the vice-captain of the Eighth Battle Team. She must be quite reputable in the Eighth Battle Team. If he could defeat Shangguan Hua, it would be easier for him to convince the members of the Eighth Battle Team.
"I don't care what kind of background you have, but if you want to show off, you've come to the wrong place," Shangguan Hua said coldly.
"It seems like you're planning to have a taste of my sword skills," Mo Fan's eyes emitted a cold flicker as he dashed toward Shangguan Hua.
"Then let's see if you have the right to do so," Shangguan Hua said coldly.
Even if Hua Ye was appointed as the new captain, he would not have any objections, nor would he feel uncomfortable about it. However, he was extremely displeased when a new captain was appointed out of nowhere.
It was not a big deal to recruit a new member, but the position of captain was not that simple. A person who did not contribute anything to the Eighth Battle Team was asking to be their captain. What did he think the Eighth Battle Team was?
Mo Fan was trying to convince the Eighth Battle Team with his strength, while Shangguan Hua was trying to intimidate him. She knew some captains who were appointed out of nowhere were only here to gain experience. They would leave once they were done.
A person like that would definitely have a strong background, yet he was only the vice-captain of the Eighth Battle Team. Without a strong background, she could not change the fact. She could only ask him to behave himself, so he would not kill his teammates during the mission.
The crowd dispersed. They knew Shangguan Hua was trying to intimidate Mo Fan. As for the new captain, since they were already here, it was most likely the decision had been made. Even if they were unwilling to accept it, there was nothing they could do to change it.
"Please," Shangguan Hua said.
"Take this!" Mo Fan yelled as he unsheathed his sword. A dragon's cry was heard as he slashed forward. His body followed the sword as he merged with it, turning into a Blue Dragon that roamed the sky.
The first move of the Blue Dragon Sword Art, Blue Dragon Roaming!
The crowd's expression changed as the Blue Dragon Roaming let out a dragon's cry.
"It's a Tian Sword Art!" Chu Mu and the others were shocked.
A Tian Sword Art was stronger than an Earth Sword Art. It could be exchanged for a hundred thousand battle points. Even Shangguan Hua and Dong Ting did not have the ability to exchange for it.
Mo Fan's background had raised the crowd's opinion of him.
"Even if it's a Tian Sword Art, I'll still defeat you," Shangguan Hua said with a cold harrumph as he drew his sword. The Sword Light left a shadow behind.
In terms of cultivation, Shangguan Hua was a level higher than Mo Fan. Mo Fan was in the late-stage of the Ninth-layer Fortune Realm, while Shangguan Hua was in the peak of the Ninth-layer Fortune Realm. In terms of strength, they were more or less equal. However, Mo Fan was using a Heaven class Low-tier Sword Art, while Shangguan Hua was using a Earth class Top-Tier Sword Art.
However, Shangguan Hua had gone through hundreds of battles. His experience was not something a young master like Mo Fan could compare to.
Actually, Mo Fan was not bad either. He was a genius, a true genius with rich experience. However, compared to Shangguan Hua, there was still a gap.
As soon as the battle began, Mo Fan knew that he did not have the advantage in terms of battle experience. His only advantage was that he had mastered a Tian Sword Art. This was something his opponent did not have. Thus, he had to use his advantage to defeat his opponent. It would be best if he defeated him beautifully. Only then would he be able to convince his opponent.
The sword was like an Azure Dragon. The dragon carvings on Mo Fan's sword seemed to have come alive, increasing the power of his Sword Art.
The thin sword in Shangguan Hua's hand drew out sword flowers. The sword flowers left afterimages. Each of the afterimages contained shocking power as they charged at Mo Fan from all directions.
When the Nine Star Sword Of Gojoseon went all out, its power was shocking. The sword wind was extremely sharp. Even the Seven Star Sword Of Gojoseon did not dare to get close to it.
Chu Mu and the others retreated far away to watch the battle between the two. Hua Ye clenched his fists. He hoped that Shangguan Hua would win. That way, this new captain would not be so arrogant, and they would not be disturbed too much.
Every member of the Eighth Battle Team hoped that Shangguan Hua would win.
Shangguan Hua was very agile. His footwork was like a butterfly. He kept dodging Mo Fan's Sword Art. At the same time, he used the Shadow Sword Art to counterattack. His Shadow Sword Art was not as good as the Azure Dragon Sword Art. However, Shangguan Hua was better than Mo Fan in terms of their respective Sword Arts.
This battle would not end in a short period of time, unless he used some kind of trump card.
However, trump cards were trump cards. They would only be used in a life and death situation. Normally, people would not use their trump cards in a battle like this.
Chu Mu watched without blinking. He had also reached the level of a Nine Star Sword Of Gojoseon. In the future, he would have to fight a Nine Star Sword Of Gojoseon. Therefore, watching the battle between other Nine Star Swords Of Gojoseon was very beneficial for him.
Especially when the battle was between Shangguan Hua and Mo Fan, who were the elites of the Nine Star Sword Of Gojoseon.
Watching, comparing notes, and even putting himself in the shoes of Shangguan Hua or Mo Fan, how would he deal with their attacks and attacks if his opponent was Shangguan Hua or Mo Fan.
Without a doubt, it was very exhausting. However, Chu Mu felt that it was worth it.
This was also his first time witnessing the power of a Tian class Sword Art. The roar of the Azure Dragon, a myriad of phenomena. It was indeed not something an Earth class Sword Art could compare with.
The difference between an Earth class Sword Art and a Tian class Sword Art was not just the difference in the quantity of the Force of Heaven and Earth. There seemed to be other mysteries involved as well. However, Chu Mu had never practiced a Tian class Sword Art, nor had he come into contact with it. Thus, he was not clear on what the difference was.
The two sides had been fighting for half an hour, and were in a stalemate. At this moment, Shangguan Hua's rich experience from hundreds of battles came into play. She sharply grasped a flaw in Mo Fan's sword and immediately used it to launch a powerful counterattack.
Under Shangguan Hua's counterattack, Mo Fan's expression changed. He quickly changed his sword move, but it was a bit slower. A bit was enough to determine the outcome of the battle.
Shangguan Hua's sword pierced through the overlapping shadows and stopped in front of Mo Fan's throat. Meanwhile, Mo Fan's sword was still three inches away from Shangguan Hua.
"You've lost," Shangguan Hua said indifferently. She withdrew her thin sword and drew out a few sword flowers before sheathing it back into its sheath.
Mo Fan's expression was extremely ugly. After sheathing his sword, he turned around and walked out of the eighth team area without looking back.
"Vice-captain Shangguan, well done."
"You should be the one to take the position of captain."
