Yun Feng and the middle-aged man were still talking to one another in the Swordsman Battalion, but their mission was not related to the battle. It was just a casual conversation.
The door to the battalion opened on its own. A man quickly walked in.
"Xiao Fan, you're back. How did it go?" The middle-aged man turned around and asked with a smile after seeing who it was. He then frowned when he saw Mo Fan's pale face.
Yun Feng also saw it. He seemed to understand and smiled, but didn't say anything.
"I lost," Mo Fan said.
"You lost?" The middle-aged man frowned before relaxing, "It's fine if you lost. No one can win all the time. Brother Yun, since Xiao Fan lost, I'll bring him away from here as promised."
"No, Third Uncle, I don't want to leave," Mo Fan said.
"Why?" Mo Fan's third uncle asked. Yun Feng was staring at Mo Fan too. He wondered if Mo Fan was going to break the promise.
If that was the case, there was no way he would agree to it, even if he was quite close to Mo Fan's father.
"I want to stay and join the Eighth Battle Team as a member," Mo Fan said firmly. Mo Fan said firmly. He had lost to Shangguan Hua. His goal was to defeat Shangguan Hua.
Both Yun Feng and his third uncle were startled by Mo Fan's words. They were confused, but Yun Feng soon realized the truth.
Mo Fan's third uncle was no ordinary Sword Artist. He immediately understood what Mo Fan had gone through. He was familiar with Mo Fan's personality. It was difficult to change his mind once he had made up his mind. He was not willing to change his mind, either.
"Brother Yun, Mo Fan is quite talented and has a good temperament, but he's too eager to excel. Everything goes smoothly, so I'm thinking, why don't we let him stay and let him be a normal member?" Mo Fan's third uncle transmitted his voice. He did not want Mo Fan to hear him.
"Sure." Yun Feng thought for a while and agreed. Compared to being a captain, being an ordinary member was a small matter.
Mo Fan had no choice but to stay after Yun Feng agreed.
…
"What new captain? No matter how cocky he is, he will still be defeated in the end," Lin Kai said. He was famous in the Eighth Battle Team for being talkative. "Vice Captain Shangguan is the best."
Shangguan Hua smiled. It was not easy for him to defeat Mo Fan. If Mo Fan's experience was on par with his, the outcome of the duel would be unpredictable.
"Actually, what he said to Chu Mu is what surprised me the most." An eight-star Sword Of Gojoseon laughed. The others also laughed.
"Alright, let bygones be bygones. Only we know how strong Chu Mu is. There's no need to publicize it. It's not strange for others to underestimate him," Shangguan Hua said.
Chu Mu actually didn't have much of an opinion about whether he was being looked down upon or not. It was just a small farce. Let bygones be bygones.
But at this moment, the door to the eighth team's area opened once again, and a person walked in with large strides.
"It's you?"
"Isn't this the new captain? Why are you here again?"
Someone immediately asked. They were unaware of the agreement between Yunfeng and the man. Defeating Mo Fan was only a show of strength.
However, they did not expect him to return so soon after being defeated. It seemed like he had a thick skin. Of course, he had a firm will too.
However, his complexion didn't look too good. Especially after being ridiculed by that rhetorical question, his complexion turned even uglier.
He took a deep breath and reminded himself that his reason for staying was just like what his third uncle had said. Everything was going smoothly, and he rarely encountered any setbacks. He could not help but feel angry after being provoked. Luckily, he still had some rationality left.
"I'm not the captain. I'm just an ordinary member." Mo Fan took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.
Everyone was startled when they heard Mo Fan's words. They were confused. What was he trying to do?
"You don't need to know the details. Anyway, from now on, Mo Fan is a member of the Eighth Battle Team." Yunfeng's voice sounded as he walked in from outside. "Besides, since the previous captain, Dong Ting, has broken through to the Nirvana Realm, the position of the captain of the Eighth Battle Team is vacant. Therefore, I'm here to announce the new captain of the Eighth Battle Team."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Hua and Hua Ye's breathing quickened. Although it was very weak, it represented the excitement in their hearts.
The others also looked at Yunfeng, waiting for him to announce the result.
"The new captain is …" As if he was deliberately showing off, Yunfeng's voice paused. When he saw the hope on everyone's faces, he continued, "Shangguan Hua."
"Congratulations, Captain Shangguan." Yunfeng smiled at Shangguan Hua. "I hope that the Eighth Battle Team will become stronger under your leadership."
"Yes, Chief." Shangguan Hua's heartbeat sped up. She straightened her body and replied firmly.
Hua Ye's eyes dimmed. He was a little disappointed, but he quickly adjusted his mentality. He only had a fifty-fifty chance of becoming the captain. He did not dare to have too much hope. If he became the captain, he would naturally be happy. If not, there was nothing he could do. He could only treat it calmly.
"Shangguan Hua will be the captain. Her position as the vice-captain is vacant. You guys discuss among yourselves who will be the vice-captain." Yunfeng said. "After you've discussed it, tell Captain Shangguan to inform me at the Combat Division."
"Chu Mu, you've done well in the past three years." Yunfeng said to Chu Mu. He then turned around and left.
"Congratulations, Captain Shangguan. You have to treat us this time."
"Congratulations, we'll treat you with good wine and food."
The members of the Eighth Battle Team yelled at Shangguan Hua.
"It's not a problem to treat us. It's a must. However, there's something important that needs to be done first. Only then can we properly celebrate," Shangguan Hua said with a smile.
"What is it?" Lin Kai was straightforward.
"Kai, is there something wrong with your brain? Chief just mentioned it."
"Oh, vice-captain? No problem, I vote for Chu Mu," Lin Kai said.
"Let's vote then," Shangguan Hua said. Whoever had the most votes in the end would be elected as the vice-captain. After all, the person with the most votes would have the highest prestige.
Apart from Mo Fan, the rest of the members voted for the candidate in their minds. In the end, there were three people with the most votes. Chu Mu was one of them.
Shangguan Hua and Hua Ye could vote too. Shangguan Hua's vote was for Chu Mu, while Hua Ye's vote was for the others.
Mo Fan stood to the side and watched coldly. After what had happened, he could no longer integrate himself into the Eighth Battle Team, nor could he convince the others to treat him as their teammate. If it weren't for the previous incident, he would have more or less integrated into the team.
However, Mo Fan was not bothered by it. He only had one goal in mind: to defeat Shangguan Hua. That was all.
The final ranking was out after the votes were tallied. Chu Mu had obtained fifteen votes, while the other two had obtained ten votes and nine votes respectively. None of them had obtained as many votes as Chu Mu.
"Chu Mu has obtained fifteen votes. Therefore, the vice-captain of the Eighth Battle Team is now Chu Mu," Shangguan Hua announced. "Congratulations, vice-captain."
The members congratulated Mo Fan.
"This is great. This is a joyous occasion. It's worth celebrating."
"That's right, it's time to celebrate." While the crowd was in high spirits …
"A five-star Sword Of Gojoseon is now the vice-captain. It seems like it was a mistake for me to keep the Eighth Battle Team," a cold voice said. The crowd turned around and saw Mo Fan.
"I didn't invite you to join the Eighth Battle Team. If you want to leave, you can leave now," Lin Kai was the first to refute.
Mo Fan acted as if he didn't hear it. He looked at Chu Mu and took a step forward, walking towards Chu Mu step by step.
"I'm not the captain, so I don't have the right to decide if you want to stay or leave. However, as a member of the Eighth Battle Team, I don't think you have the right to be the vice-captain," Mo Fan said, ignoring Lin Kai's words.
"Mo Fan, the Eighth Battle Team doesn't welcome you," Shangguan Hua frowned and said coldly as she blocked Mo Fan's path.
"Captain, I'm a member of the Eighth Battle Team. Director Yunfeng has agreed to it, so your objection is useless." Mo Fan grinned and said proudly, "Therefore, as a member of the Eighth Battle Team, I'm not satisfied with the strength of the vice-captain. Therefore, I would like to challenge the vice-captain."
"Are you trying to pick a fight?" Lin Kai snapped. The rest of the team was enraged too. They all glared at Mo Fan with unfriendly looks.
"You can think whatever you want, but as a member of the Eighth Battle Team, I have the right to make a request. I don't think a five-star Sword Of Gojoseon is qualified to be the vice-captain, so I would like to challenge him," Mo Fan said fearlessly.
"So what if you want to challenge me?" Chu Mu asked calmly. There was no way he would turn a blind eye to Mo Fan's provocation.
"It's simple, if you lose, it means you don't have the right to be the vice-captain," Mo Fan said.
"I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you!" Lin Kai said, "A nine-star Sword Of Gojoseon dares to challenge a five-star Sword Of Gojoseon? It's a disgrace to the Eighth Battle Team."
"It doesn't matter what you say, it won't change the fact that I'm going to challenge you." Mo Fan's skin was unexpectedly thick, "However, you're a five-star Sword Of Gojoseon. I'm sure you're outstanding since you're chosen to be the vice-captain. However, considering the huge difference between your cultivation and mine, it's a little unfair to you. How about this, if you can withstand three of my attacks, I'll consider you qualified to be the vice-captain."
The crowd was startled hearing this. They tried their best to hold back their laughter. However, Mo Fan mistakenly thought they thought Chu Mu was unable to withstand three of his attacks.
"If you challenge me and I lose, I'll lose the vice-captain's position. What do you want from me if I win?" Chu Mu asked in return.
"You can name anything, as long as it's something I have," Mo Fan said. He believed Chu Mu had no chance of withstanding three of his attacks.
"I think your Heaven-ranked Sword Art is quite impressive …" Chu Mu said.
"That's impossible, the Azure Dragon Sword Art is never taught to outsiders. If I can't defeat you in three attacks, I'll give you a Sword Art that's comparable to an Advanced Earth Sword Art," Mo Fan said.
"It's a deal," Chu Mu said.
"We'll be the witnesses," the others said with a smile, looking forward to the duel.
