"What's the use of talking? I'm afraid everyone will be scared sh * tless in the military. Trash." Guo Dazhuang scolded everyone unceremoniously.
"Guo Dazhuang, what are you talking about? You're just a weakling ranked 47th. What right do you have to criticize us?"
"I used to be afraid that you were General Guo's son. Now that your father is no longer a general guarding the city, let's see who can protect you."
"You and Zhou Yang are brothers in the same boat. Neither of you will have a good ending."

"Just because of what you said, we'll drag you down even if we lose the title of Warrior."
The crowd was agitated. Everyone was scolding Guo Dazhuang and Zhou Yang.
"I like it when you scold me but don't dare to hit me. Trash." Guo Dazhuang started eating his roast chicken after he finished speaking.
"What's with the noise? Be quiet."
A loud shout came from the sky. In the next moment, a group of old men flew down from the sky, followed by a violent tremor.
Wan Bugui was here too.
Wan Bugui stopped with nearly a thousand warriors and looked around at everyone.
Under the military might, everyone finally shut their mouths.
"Listen up, all of you. This time, the Warrior Examination will be held at the border. It will be presided over by the Imperial City's Special Envoy, General Xiao Lin, and assisted by Deputy Dean Li. All those who complete the Martial Technique Military Merit within a month will be promoted to Warrior.
Wan Bugui glanced at a black-armored general beside him, then patted his mount and rode forward.
The group of rising stars followed closely behind. Thousands of people finally arrived at the border town after marching for half a day.
Although the border town was not big, it was a stronghold, so the atmosphere of martial arts was not inferior to that of the county city. Moreover, there would be more people during the war.
War came with great benefits. Since the border was lost and the southern garrison retreated to the border town, a large number of merchants from the south came to the border town to sell all kinds of resources.
The streets were bustling with activity. Groups of military warriors walked by from time to time. Zhou Yang and the other rising stars were separated from Wan Bugui's team when they arrived at the border town. They followed Xiao Lin to the military supplies camp.
The Military Supplies Camp was a place that specialized in managing martial arts resources and evaluating military merits. Just like the Institute of Martial Arts, one could obtain cultivation resources here. However, the Institute of Martial Arts required academic credits, whereas the Supplies Camp required military merits. What kind of military merits one had would determine what kind of resources one could exchange for.
In the military camp's drill ground, black flags fluttered in the wind. Two groups of black-armored warriors stood majestically under the platform.
On the platform, there was a table with a scroll on it.
"Dear disciples, there is a very precious Martial Technique on the General Selection Stage. This is my gift to you all. However, there is only one gift. Whoever can obtain it will depend on their own abilities," the tall Xiao Lin said as he looked down at the new disciples.
"General Xiao, may I ask what ability you are referring to?" Zhou Shaoyu said proudly. He was confident that if only one person could get it, it would be him because he was the strongest.
"I won't tell you this first. I will tell you when everyone is here."
Everyone was present …
Everyone was puzzled. Could there be someone else?
Just when everyone was puzzled, about 20 people walked in from outside the drill ground's gate.
These 20 people were all young disciples. There were three people in the lead, two men and one woman. They looked very powerful. Zhou Yang even found someone he knew among them.
Xiong Kun!
The alchemist who had sold him the Age-halting Pill.
The last time Xiong Kun went home to mourn, he had to return three months later. He was wondering why Xiong Kun had not returned to the county city after three months. He did not expect him to come to the border city.
"So, you are a disciple of the border city's Institute of Martial Arts." Murong Zhenjie smiled with some disdain.
"Humph, it is said that the county city is a place with unparalleled talents. It seems that it is just so-so," a young disciple in the lead of the border city's new disciples suddenly said with disdain.
Zhou Shaoyu smiled. When he looked back at the person, his expression changed. He cupped his hands and said, "So, it is the son of Border City's City Lord He, He Yunfeng. Zhou Shaoyu has been disrespectful."
He Yunfeng!
The new disciples of the county city could not help but be stunned. Only then did they know this person's background.
He Yunfeng, ranked fourth on the border city's New Star List, worth two million. His strength was similar to Li Moling's, but his status was very high. He was the son of Border City's City Lord.
"Zhou Shaoyu … Zhou Shaoyu of the Jiangnan Ten Young Masters?" He Yunfeng asked doubtfully.
"Yes!" Zhou Shaoyu nodded.
"It's an honor to meet you. However, I heard that your Zhou family has an amazing genius called Zhou Yang. Is he here today?" He Yunfeng looked at Zhou Shaoyu and said.
Zhou Shaoyu did not speak but looked at Zhou Yang with a fake smile.
"So, it is you. You look ordinary." He Yunfeng followed Zhou Shaoyu's gaze and sized up Zhou Yang. The disdain in Zhou Yang's eyes grew.
Zhou Yang smiled and walked straight to the border city's new disciples. He then cupped his hands.
"Humph, don't try to get close to me. I am not interested in making friends with you."
Before Zhou Yang could speak, He Yunfeng put his hands behind his back and looked at the sky with an arrogant look.
"Brother Xiong Kun, how have you been? Thank you for what you did last time."
He Yunfeng had just finished speaking when he heard Zhou Yang's words. When he looked back, he found that Zhou Yang had walked past him and was in front of Xiong Kun. His face turned red and he gritted his teeth in anger.
"Brother Zhou is too polite. It is just a transaction." Xiong Kun returned the greeting.
"How dare you!"
At this moment, He Yunfeng suddenly shouted. He pointed at Zhou Yang and said, "Zhou Yang, you are so rude. How dare you not bow when you see me?"
Zhou Yang did not look back at all. He only looked at Xiong Kun and said, "Let's talk when there is a chance."
Xiong Kun nodded and looked at He Yunfeng on the other side. He said in a low voice, "Brother Zhou, it seems that there is another trouble."
"One more doesn't matter."
Zhou Yang smiled and turned to walk back. He did not stop when he passed by He Yunfeng.
"B * stard, this is the border city. Do you think this is your home?" He Yunfeng jumped in front of Zhou Yang.
"So what if it is the border city? Is it your home? Who do you think you are for me to bow to you?" Zhou Yang said disdainfully.
"How dare you! I am the son of the border city's city lord, He Yunfeng."
"Oh, so what? Which law of the Dragonwu Country says that I have to bow to you?" Zhou Yang looked at He Yunfeng without any fear.
"You …"
He Yunfeng clenched his fists in anger. He was not only ranked fourth on the New Star Ranking, but he was also the son of the city lord. In this small city, no one dared to disobey him. No one was willing to offend someone with talent and background.
Unfortunately, he was very unlucky to meet Zhou Yang.
The atmosphere became even more tense. Neither of them gave way, but neither of them made the first move.
Whoever made the first move would be in the wrong. After all, this was the army camp, not the outside world.
"Alright, everyone, return to your group."
Xiao Lin smiled. Seeing that the two of them did not intend to make a move, he did not want to watch the show. He waved his hand and everyone gathered in front.
"We shall see."
