Tang Yu readily agreed, and Lu Zhanghong was stunned for a moment.
After some superficial flattery, Lu Zhanghong walked back to his position in a carefree mood.
His eyes vaguely swept across the people behind Tang Yu.
A total of 20 people. Even if each of them was a first-class expert in the Tree Shade, but …
Each of the Ancestral Dragon's Three Armies had tens of thousands of hunters. These tens of thousands of people stood out from the tens of millions of hunters in the defensive circle.
And the warriors who were qualified to participate in the second stage of the Three Armies Martial Arts Drill were the strongest of the strong.
Every one of them …
Top aptitude!
Diligent!
With a systematic cultivation method and combat skills!
How could the Tree Shade win?
The other Norland higher-ups had similar thoughts.
It's not that they looked down on the Tree Shade. If they really looked down on them, they wouldn't have invited them to watch the Three Armies Martial Arts Drill.
However, the Tree Shade had extraordinary powerhouses, but it didn't mean the strength of the awakening warriors was comparable to the Ancestral Dragon.
One was a shelter with hundreds of thousands of people.
The other was a defensive circle with tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people.
Comparing the two together was already the highest degree of attention.
… …
Three Armies Martial Arts Drill.
There were no too detailed rules, but after the martial arts drill, the master battles were generally the same level battles.
The previous experts of the Three Armies were all 10th Awakening against 10th Awakening, 11th Awakening against 11th Awakening, and most of them had been at the same level for a long time.
Only in the end, when the top group of experts fought, could there be a 12th Awakening against a 13th Awakening.
But after the Tree Shade joined and evolved into a four-way battle, the situation was different again.
After discussion, it was decided that the participants of the martial arts drill were no longer limited to the 10th Awakening.
… …
The first to enter the field was a member of the personal guard.
Tang Yu remembered his name was Cheng Zhuangzhuang, a fifteen-year-old child in the middle of the Seventh Awakening Stage.
His opponent was a squadron leader of the Azure Dragon Army. His strength was at the peak of the Seventh Awakening.
After entering the field, neither of them talked nonsense. Cheng Zhuangzhuang held a B1-class combat knife and slashed down.
The Azure Dragon hunter growled. Thick hair grew on his body surface, his limbs were thick, his body grew taller, and his fingers turned into sharp wolf claws.
It's a werewolf!
Sand and stones flew, and the ground cracked.
Cheng Zhuangzhuang had the weapon advantage.
However, the Azure Dragon Army's hunters' physical fitness was slightly higher. After transforming, they completely suppressed Cheng Zhuangzhuang.
Both of them had rich combat experience and had learned several combat techniques.
Cheng Zhuangzhuang fought fiercely and didn't give up even when he was heavily injured. But in the end, he was still slightly inferior and was defeated.
When the 1.9-meter-tall child was rescued, his eyes were still red.
Next,
A few more battles took place. Two at the seventh, two at the eighth, and two at the ninth.
In the six matches, two of the personal guards would fight, and four of the experts from the other corps would fight.
Two wins, four losses.
The Illumination Dragon, Yinglong, and Azure Dragon legions also fought against each other, and they fought a total of six battles.
In terms of battle record, the Tree Shade ranked last.
Lu Zhanghong, however, could not bring himself to laugh.
It was completely different from what he imagined. Tree Shade's six defeats in six battles.
Even if they won the four games, it was extremely difficult. Each game was evenly matched. The warriors on both sides were indeed on the same level.
…
Among the higher-ups of Norland, some were appreciative, while others were solemn.
On the contrary, the Tree Shade Guards and the hunters of several large regiments were somewhat disappointed.
They didn't care how famous Norland was. If they lost, they lost.
He had to get back at them!
…
Seeing their disappointment but not losing their fighting spirit, Tang Yu secretly nodded.
At the same level in Tiannan Province, it was almost impossible to find a non-Great Shade hunter who could fight. Even if he didn't say it, he might not be aware of it. But the mentality of the hunters under his command was more or less inflated.
Too narrow vision was not conducive to growth.
The Great Xia Kingdom, even if the earth was so big, was just a drop in the ocean.
From Kevin, Protoss, and Moon, Tang Yu learned that there were also many geniuses in the other world. Level was never an obstacle. It wasn't rare for a Ninth Awakening Stage to defeat a Thirteenth Awakening Stage.
Even if it was Tang Yu, he could defeat a Transcendent as an Awakening Stage. Was he proud?
He couldn't be proud!
Everyone thought he was a Transcendent!
…
The second stage of the battle returned to the Tenth Awakening Stage.
In Norland, more than 60% of the super experts who broke through to the Condensing Source Realm were in the Ancestral Dragon's Three Armies.
But even so, the number of super experts in the Three Armies added up was no more than 200. In the entire Norland, there were about 300 people.
It seemed okay, but in fact, they stood out from tens of millions of hunters.
The Tree Shade had fewer people, so they added the Tenth Awakening Stage and below.
In other large shelters, there were generally only one or two experts of this level. Some of the weaker ones might still be stuck in the bottleneck of the peak of the Body Shaping Realm.
This round was the Tree Shade against the Azure Dragon Army.
The Tree Shade had fewer people. The Tree Shade was the first to send contestants to the arena, and the Azure Dragon Army would send hunters of the same level.
Tang Yu's eyes swept from Shay, Roger, Oguri, and the others, and finally fell on a face that could only be rated 59 points.
"You're the Arcane Thief."
“what？”
Zhuang Laifu was dumbfounded, pointing his finger at himself, repeatedly saying that he couldn't fight and that he was a scumbag.
"Laifu …" Tang Yu said earnestly, "Think about it, you're already famous in Norland. But you should know what your reputation is. Now, it's time to prove yourself to the world."
Zhuang Laifu thought for a while.
These days, he heard a lot of people whispering about the "Arcane Thief" being tied up in 18 positions, and the "Arcane Thief"'s dark history that you don't know.
As the saying goes, the more famous you are, the worse you'll be slandered.
Zhuang Laifu suddenly clenched his fist, "Boss, you're right. It's time to tell the people of Fish Lip that I, Nicholas, Arcane Thief, possess true strength!"
He shook his head and walked off the arena valiantly.
Tang Yu saw Laifu's momentum and didn't have the heart to tell him the truth. The Three Armies Martial Arts Exhibition was not open to the public. No matter how powerful he was, the survivors outside would not know.
How dark it was before, in the future, it will be dark again.
… …
An expert walked out of the Azure Dragon Army's battle formation. His face was cold, and his body was surrounded by a murderous aura.
Zhuang Laifu's footsteps paused, and then he quickly walked forward, taking bigger steps.
"Begin!"
The instructor next to him ordered.
Zhuang Laifu and the Azure Dragon Army hunter moved at the same time.
That person was a water ability user. His fingers crossed and changed. In an instant, a water dragon broke out from his palm and rolled towards the Arcane Thief.
Zhuang Laifu used his best illusion ability to affect the opponent's perception. At the same time, he held a dagger in his hand, lowered his body, and after dodging the water dragon, he approached.
The battle was about to start.
… …
Outside the arena.
The Director of the Security Bureau was the most concerned.
He hoped that the Azure Dragon Army would teach the Arcane Thief a lesson, but he didn't want the Arcane Thief to be tortured too badly. Wouldn't that show the incompetence of the Security Bureau?
Elemental moves were more gorgeous.
Illusion type … invisible and untouchable. The Director of the Security Bureau thought that this would be a confrontation between the light and the dark.
However, the next moment, he was stunned and his mouth opened wide.
It felt like … the battle was a bit wrong!
… …
Tang Yu turned his face away, feeling ashamed!
Zhuang Laifu didn't lose. In fact, there was no wound on his body.
However …
In the distance, on the martial arts field, a figure jumped up and down, rolling and flying. It made Tang Yu regret sending Zhuang Laifu to the arena.
Since the initial confrontation, Zhuang Laifu was affected by the illusion, but he still couldn't get close to the opponent who was constantly spraying water.
He didn't dare to rush up again. Instead, he used his skillful evasion and escape skills to affect the opponent's perception through the illusion …
Thirty seconds passed.
Three minutes passed.
Ten minutes passed.
The duel had evolved into a chase. Zhuang Laifu didn't have any intention to fight.
Azure Dragon's water ability user had faint beads of sweat on his forehead.
Zhuang Laifu was even more dusty, panting and shouting, "How about we peacefully … peacefully stop?"
… …
Another ten minutes later …
Zhuang Laifu limped back, soaking wet.
Just as he was about to open his mouth …
Tang Yu glanced at him:
"What's your name, Laifu? Why don't you change your name to Runner Zhuang! Even if it's Nicholas Runner! "
He really didn't know how he advanced to the Tenth Awakening Stage!
The Director of the Security Bureau had the same complicated mood as Tang Yu.
His mouth opened and finally turned into a melancholy sigh.
… …
Although Laifu's performance was a bit bad, he was a Norland man. The Tree Shade lost face, and the Norland also lost a lot of face. Especially the Security Bureau and other departments that had chased after the "Arcane Thief."
Losing 800 to hurt the enemy.
The second match began immediately. This time, it was Yinglong against Zhulong.
Every battle lasted from ten seconds to one or two minutes. In the case of Crafty Approach, the chase lasted for more than twenty minutes. That was the first and only battle.
Counting the free time before and after the battle, it was only three minutes a match.
Soon.
Except for Tang Yu himself, Nancy, Elaine, and the Protoss sisters who weren't good at fighting.
Roger, Sky, Shay, Oguri, and two B-rank followers all went on stage one by one.
The Norland and Tree Shade were two different systems.
Fighting more hunters outside of their familiar system was good for themselves.
But Tang Yu found himself thinking too much.
The result of the battle.
Once again, it surprised the Norland's higher-ups.
Except for one or two matches that were relatively close, most of the time, the Tree Shade's players had the absolute advantage!
Roger wielded his heavy sword and slammed the Awakened from the Winged Dragon Legion into the ground with a peerlessly domineering slash.
Sky held two swords in his hands, the airflow fluttered. That match lasted for a full three minutes. However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that it wasn't a close match. It was just the Tree Shade's man testing his moves.
Shay held a multi-purpose gun, and countless shells bombarded the vast martial arts arena with potholes, showing the power of a Cannon Master to the world.
Even Oguri didn't dare to be careless when she learned that this was the expert who made the Arcane Thief lose his ability to resist, a gravity ability user from Zhulong.
At the moment the battle began, he manipulated the gravity field and covered Oguri.
Then, there was no then.
The audience outside the arena saw the Zhulong ability user covered the gravity field to a no-man's land, and then he fainted.
A duel above the Tenth Awakening Stage.
Seven battles, six wins!
The only loss was when Runner Zhuang couldn't run in the end.
The Arcane Thief's talent was obvious to all. Many of the higher-ups felt it was a pity that the Tree Shade accepted him as their subordinate.
But now, they were wondering why the Tree Shade was so strong.
It didn't make sense!
It wasn't scientific nor awakening!
Our Norland clearly has a martial arts grandmaster who has created a complete cultivation system.
Our Norland has also collected a lot of combat techniques. It's not a problem for the elites of the three armies to defeat demonic beasts two or three levels higher.
Our Norland has built a gravity room. Among the secret realms we discovered, there's also a cultivation holy land with abundant source energy. The top experts of the three armies have dozens of hours of cultivation time every month.
An hour can match countless times in the outside world. With the cultivation method, they can tap their own potential.
At the same level, their essence, qi, and spirit are far superior to those unofficial hunters!
This was the pride of the Norland's higher-ups.
It's also their confidence!
There's no reason to lose!
… …
The Norland wasn't a sore loser. The three corps commanders said they would exchange pointers in the future.
The three of them had planned to fight, but when they saw the deputy commander, who was not much weaker than them, was slammed into the ground with a sword, they could only give up the idea.
At least they saved the Norland's face.
If there's a chance, they would privately find the Tree Shade's experts to spar with.
As a martial arts grandmaster and a transcendent, Meng Jingran had seen more than ordinary people.
The first few people from the Tree Shade were still a little immature. Their physical fitness was not superior compared to the experts of the three major corps. However, the few people who came later were of the same level, but their physical fitness completely crushed the Norland's experts.
Their combat skills … could no longer be described as skillful. Meng Jingran felt they were very used to their own fighting style. It belonged to the hunter's fighting style, combination combat skills, changing methods, everything was at their fingertips.
A bit like the Fourth Era's awakeners, but stronger.
They seemed to have a more complete inheritance system. Meng Jingran didn't know what it was called as a profession.
Lu Zhanghong and the others were the most skeptical.
This was just an impromptu duel. The people brought by the Tree Shade may not be their strongest players.
Lu Zhanghong felt he was in an illusion, but he still couldn't bear to slap himself to wake himself up.
Some of the other senior officers looked at Lu Zhanghong with a faintly unfriendly gaze. Who asked him to let the Tree Shade participate in the martial arts competition. Fortunately, it was only an internal battle that was not open to the public.
… …
The martial arts competition was over.
It wasn't quite as expected, but it was still satisfactory. Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Tang Yu also planned to return.
He learned a lot from the Norland, and he was ready to implement it in the territory.
For a long time in the future, he would be busy.
Some of the other Norland senior officers were chatting, and some had left.
Just then, someone hurriedly ran to Meng Jingran's side and whispered a few words.
Tang Yu saw many of the Norland senior officers around Grandmaster Meng, including Yao Jun, and their expressions changed.
He listened attentively.
The voice was not blocked by special means, and it instantly reached his ears.
"… the Western Front is in an emergency. Many fortresses have been attacked by a demonic wave above level 5, and a foreign tribe transcendent has appeared. This time, they may be serious. Guardian, you …"
Tang Yu was slightly stunned.
Didn't they say the Norland's defense circle was safe? How come it was only a short time since he arrived?
