Chu Li looked at him calmly without saying a word.
Yang Ping was temperamental and cunning. He was not a kind person. It was not easy to work for someone like him.
"Haha … Hahahaha …!" Yang Ping laughed so hard that he rocked back and forth. In the end, he slammed the table and laughed even harder.
Chu Li looked at him calmly, his eyes unfazed.
Yang Ping stopped laughing and his face darkened. He pointed at him and shouted, "You're a disciple of the Holy Church of Light. How can you be so naive!"
Chu Li replied calmly, "Why do you say that, General?"
"Ever since the establishment of the Sharp Vigor Battalion in the Li Dynasty, only ten people from the Sharp Vigor Battalion have been able to return unscathed and become centurions. All ten of them have become Great Generals. Do you really think that you're talented enough to become a Great General?" Yang Ping's expression darkened, and the corners of his lips curled into a sneer.
Chu Li remained silent.
Yang Ping sneered. "In the eyes of the Holy Church of Light, a Grand General is nothing, right?"
Chu Li replied, "I wouldn't dare."
Yang Ping scoffed. "Why wouldn't the Holy Church of Light dare?"
Chu Li said, "General, I'm being punished by the Holy Church. I was almost expelled from the Church."
"Hmph, you killed an Altar Leader and haven't been expelled. Of course, the Saint thinks highly of you." Yang Ping curled his lips and said in disdain, "But now that you're in my territory, my subordinates, no matter how talented you are, you'll have to listen to me!"
"Yes." Chu Li smiled.
Yang Ping was hostile toward the Holy Church of Light. It seemed like the Holy Church of Light was not popular.
Yang Ping gritted his teeth and glared at him.
Chu Li looked at him calmly.
Their eyes seemed to be fighting in the air. It was hard to tell who would win.
Yang Ping gritted his teeth and hated Chu Li. These bastards from the Holy Church of Light deserved to die!
The Holy Church of Light was the Li Dynasty's national religion and they were everywhere. The military was also infiltrated by the Holy Church of Light. However, there were also hardliners who firmly opposed the infiltration of the Holy Church of Light into the military. Yang Ping was one of them.
He was very dissatisfied with the Holy Church of Light, especially with a woman. Although the Saint was wise and powerful, she was still a woman.
"Guards!" Yang Ping bellowed.
An armored soldier came in from outside. "General!"
"Send him to the Sharp Vigor Battalion!" Yang Ping ordered coldly.
"Yes!" The soldier gave a fist salute and said to Chu Li, "Follow me!"
Chu Li gave Yang Ping a fist salute and followed the soldier out of the tent.
Yang Ping gritted his teeth and glared at Chu Li, his killing intent surging.
The armored soldier strode in front of them. He did not say a word and ignored Chu Li.
The two of them quickly passed through the martial arts field and the rows of tents. After walking for about a mile, they arrived at a remote location in the southwest corner of the military camp.
There were more than a dozen tents in this area, forming a martial arts field. They were quite a distance away from the tents in the distance, forming an independent camp.
This martial arts field was half the size of the one he had seen before, but it was still the size of a football field. It was big enough for horses to gallop, but at this moment, it was empty and desolate.
"Old Fan! Old Fan! "the armored soldier shouted.
A rotund old man in a gray robe ran out of a tent. He tidied his clothes as he ran over, shouting, "I'm here, I'm here!"
He hurried over and gave a fist salute. "Young Jiang, you're a rare guest. It's been a while since you last came!"
"I didn't want to come!" the armored soldier said. "I've sent someone to you. Haven't you been complaining about the lack of people?"
"Oh, you've finally sent someone here!" Old Fan's round face looked like a friendly businessman. He shouted happily, "How many people are there this time?"
"The one in front of us." The armored soldier said, "He's from the Holy Church of Light. He's worth ten people. Let's go!"
"The Holy Church of Light?" Old Fan was overjoyed. He turned to look at Chu Li and sized him up. He clicked his tongue. "Good, good, good, good. A disciple of the Holy Church of Light! Thank you, General! "
"The armor will be sent over immediately!" the armored soldier said and turned to leave as if they were in a land of snakes and scorpions.
Old Fan gave a fist salute and smiled. "Alright, thank you, Young Jiang."
The armored soldier left much faster than he came. He disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Old Fan looked at Chu Li happily. "Good, good, good. From now on, we'll be eating from the same pot. I still don't know your name, brother. I'm Fan Yang. You can just call me Old Fan."
"Zhao Dahe!" Chu Li gave a fist salute.
"Zhao Dahe. Good name, good name!" Fan Yang smiled enthusiastically. "Come, let me introduce you to the brothers in our camp."
He raised his voice and shouted, "Young Xu! Young Xu! "
A man in his thirties walked out lazily from one of the tents. His arms were bare, revealing his white flesh. His eyes were drowsy as he yawned and said lazily, "Old Fan, what's the matter now? Why are you disturbing my sweet dreams!"
"We have a new brother!" Fan Yang laughed. "We've finally formed a team again!"
The round-faced middle-aged man's facial features were rather comical. He scoffed impatiently as he walked over. "I can't wait for no one. If we form a team, we'll die. If we don't form a team, we'll be able to live freely. Why are you so happy that we're going to die?"
He shook his head as he spoke. He walked closer to Chu Li and looked at him sideways. "Newcomer, what's your name?"
"His name is Zhao Dahe. He's a disciple of the Holy Church of Light." Fan Yang laughed.
"Holy Church of Light?" The round-faced middle-aged man's expression turned serious. The sleepiness on his face disappeared as he looked at Chu Li. "Are you really a disciple of the Holy Church of Light?"
"Of course!" Fan Yang laughed. "Young Zhao, this is Young Xu, Xu Cihang. He has a bad mouth but he's quite kind."
"Get lost. You're the kind one!" Xu Cihang said angrily. "Zhao Dahe? You don't look like a disciple of the Holy Church of Light. "
Chu Li smiled. "Not all disciples of the Holy Church of Light are handsome. I'm considered special. That's why I was sent to the Sharp Vigor Battalion!"
"Sigh … What a pity." Both of them shook their heads.
Fan Yang sighed. "A disciple of the Holy Church of Light is an unreachable existence. I can't believe I've met one in person!"
"The disciples of the Holy Church of Light aren't gods." Xu Cihang scoffed. "They only have one mouth and two eyes!"
"It's extremely difficult to enter the Holy Church of Light. We're not qualified!" Fan Yang shook his head and sighed. "We don't have such good parents either."
"I was originally a disciple of a small association in the countryside. I was an orphan. Later, I was discovered by a patrol and entered the Great Light Peak." Chu Li smiled. "I can't help it. My aptitude for martial arts is too good."
He realized that both of them admired the Holy Church of Light. Their feelings toward him were complicated. They were envious, jealous, and somewhat gloating.
If he wanted to integrate into the Sharp Vigor Battalion as soon as possible, he should cater to their interests and talk more about the Holy Church of Light.
To outsiders, the Holy Church of Light was mysterious and unattainable. After all, the Holy Church of Light accepted too few disciples. They were considered one in a million.
"Ah?" The two of them exclaimed in surprise. "Your aptitude is amazing!"
They looked at Chu Li in amazement and looked at him in a new light.
Chu Li smiled and nodded. "It's alright."
"Then how did you end up here?" Xu Cihang asked. "You fell from the sky into the mud!"
"It's a long story." Chu Li shook his head. "It involves many secrets of the church. I can only tell you a few simple things."
"Alright, tell me quickly." The two of them hurried him and widened their eyes in curiosity.
Chu Li coughed. "I still don't know where my tent is."
