Not long after Yun Fan's team left Hunyuan City, more than a dozen people were sitting in a fortress in the inner city.
Powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations were emitted from the bodies of these people. Moreover, each of them had a murderous aura. Clearly, they were all people who were good at fighting.
A middle-aged man sitting in the middle looked at the ten people below him and said, "Everyone, how do you feel about this batch of newcomers?"
If Yun Fan was here, he would be able to recognize at a glance that the speaker was the Sect Master of the Burning Heaven Sect, Jin Zhennan.
The majestic general sitting in the first seat below him stood up and reported, "Commander Jin, according to my understanding, the quality of the newcomers in Legion III is very high."
"Oh?"
Jin Zhennan raised his eyebrows.
The newcomers were the fresh blood injected into the ancient battlefield. The strength of each batch of newcomers represented how many powerhouses the Human Race could produce in the future.
At that moment, a bamboo-like general sitting opposite the man who had spoken first sneered. "Lei Shan, don't tell me that you are flattering him because the Shengzi of the Ten Thousand Flames Sky Burning Sect, Yun Fan, has joined this batch of newcomers?"
Lei Shan frowned when he heard this. "Gan Gao, what are you talking about?" he growled. Am I really such a bootlicker? "
Gan Gao put on a fake smile and said, "That's not necessarily true. I heard that your injury was cured by Yun Fan. I also heard that you even recognized this little guy called Yun Fan as your foster father. Is there such a thing? "
Lei Shan said, "Saving a life is like giving birth to one's parents. So what?"
Gan Gao snorted. "So what if his medical skills are good? They're not worth mentioning for powerhouses like us who have stepped into the Heavenly Venerate Realm.
Cultivators still have to look at their actual combat ability. Those who only know how to do unorthodox things will never achieve great things! "
"Gan Gao!"
Lei Shan gave a loud cry and said solemnly, "Don't you forget, Yun Fan defeated a grand completion Deva Realm powerhouse before!"
Gan Gao sneered and said, "Are you talking about that trash Long Yang? I'm sure any squad leader in our army would be able to take care of him! In my opinion, Yun Fan is just a facade. If my son were to challenge him, I'm afraid that Long Yang wouldn't even have a chance to fight back. "
Lei Shan sneered, "After talking for so long, aren't you still praising your son, Gan Yuejin, for being stronger?"
"So what if I am?"
Gan Gao said disapprovingly, "My son, Gan Yuejin, is different from the trash cultivated by the sects and super families. Since he started cultivating, he has spent his time in battles. Which of the geniuses of the various families in the Fire Field has not been challenged by my son? Who isn't afraid of my son? "
Even if he knew that Jin Zhennan was the Sect Master of the Burning Heaven Sect, he still dared to say such words.
After all, the Burning Heaven Sect and the three great families were only forces that were announced to ordinary people. In fact, the real powerhouses were in the Fire Emperor's army.
Therefore, rather than saying that Jin Zhennan was the Sect Master of the Burning Heaven Sect, it was more appropriate to say that he was the commander of the Flame Dragon Army under the Fire Emperor.
The position of Sect Master was just a title.
Jin Zhennan smiled faintly, "Since we have nothing to do, why don't we make a bet? Between Yun Fan and Gan Yuejin's team, who will get first place in this hunt?"
"Alright!"
Gan Gao slapped his thigh and stood up. He looked at all the army commanders present and said, "If any of you want to win, follow me and bet on Gan Yuejin. It's a sure win!"
His son, Gan Yuejin, was Gan Gao's pride.
Since he was young, Gan Yuejin had been tempering himself in actual combat. It could be said that even before entering the Primordial Battlefield, his heart of a powerhouse had already been honed.
Even the Fire Emperor appreciated Gan Yuejin's performance, which was why Gan Gao dared to be so unscrupulous.
Lei Shan said with a gloomy face, "Gan Gao, I, Lei Shan, will bet with you today. How much do you want to bet?"
"1,000 celestial crystals!"
Gan Gao said with a face full of confidence.
Everyone's face froze when they heard that. They did not expect Gan Gao to make such a big bet.
A thousand celestial crystals, even if they were Legion Commanders, was also a huge sum of money.
Gan Gao sneered at Lei Shan and said, "Why, are you afraid? Aren't you very confident in your foster father? "
Lei Shan snorted coldly and said, "Alright, I'll bet 1,000 celestial crystals with you!"
Another army commander beside him said in shock, "Lei Shan, are you crazy? It's not like you don't know that Gan Yuejin is indeed very strong. He's about to train his heart of a powerhouse. His combat strength is quite strong. I'm afraid he can even kill a high-level Sky Demon! "
"I believe in Foster Father's strength!"
Lei Shan said coldly.
The army commander beside him shook his head helplessly. This Lei Shan was too stubborn and easily got to his head.
Gan Gao laughed and said, "Just wait and obediently hand over 1,000 celestial crystals. Then, my son won't have to worry about cultivation resources for breaking through to the mid-stage of the Sky Realm!"
The remaining army commanders hesitated for a moment before speaking one after another.
"I bet 500 on Gan Yuejin."
"I bet 300 on Gan Yuejin too!"
"I bet 800 on Gan Yuejin!"
"…"
In just a few moments, five Legion Commanders had joined the bet.
Jin Zhennan smiled faintly and said, "Well then, I'll play with you. Take it that I bet on Yun Fan. If you win, I'll compensate you with your celestial crystals."
"Commander is generous!"
"Commander is mighty!"
"Commander is really considerate of his subordinates!"
One after another, flattery was constantly heard.
Jin Zhennan just smiled and didn't say anything.
…
At this time, somewhere in the wild, Yun Fan, Lu Feng, and the others held their breath and lurked in the bushes. They watched a giant elephant slowly walk by not far away. The giant elephant had a pair of sharp fangs, its eyes were red, and its body was constantly emitting a powerful pressure.
When the giant elephant completely walked by, Lu Feng heaved a sigh of relief.
He whispered, "This is the Vajra Mammoth, a powerful quasi-holy beast. It's extremely irritable. If you encounter it in the wild, you must avoid it in advance. Don't be fooled by its huge body. When it runs, its speed is comparable to that of a Heavenly Venerable! Once it's targeted, it won't rest until it's dead! "
When the newcomers heard this, they swallowed hard and their faces turned pale.
They had only walked for less than half of the journey, but they had already encountered four or five powerful Spirit Beasts that were at least Quasi-Holy Beasts. They had even bumped into a real Holy Beast, the Five-Colored Tiger!
This tiger-type Holy Beast might not be hungry today, or it might be that it disdained to attack these ants in front of it, so it let them escape.
However, this also made them feel a lingering fear.
They had not yet encountered the real Demons, but this group of newcomers had already experienced the dangers of the ancient battlefield.
At this time, they were no longer as relaxed as when they came, and their nerves were all tensed up.
Seeing the rookies' cautious looks, the corners of Lu Feng's mouth curled into an undetectable smile. His guidance finally had some results.
However, before the crowd had traveled far, they saw a group of humanoid creatures flying toward them from afar.
When Lu Feng saw this, his pupils shrank, and he shouted coldly, "Demons patrol team discovered. Prepare for battle!"
