481: I have never seen such an arrogant person!

The army camp was filled with a cacophony of voices.

The commotion attracted the attention of everyone stationed in the Fierce Tiger Legion.

Many off-duty soldiers and officers curiously gathered around the camp to watch the spectacle.

"Old Li's Face looks really bad today!"

"Xiong Hao and the others are truly brave; they dare to touch the eyebrows of the Cold-faced Yama?"

"Interesting. Forming a new thousand-man unit, this was Legion Commander's personal order, and he personally selected the personnel. They're trying to make trouble for Legion Commander!"

Seeing the situation in the camp, many soldiers and officers showed expressions of schadenfreude.

However...

When they sorted out the beginning and end of the matter from the clamoring voices, their expressions all turned grim.

"Oh my god!"

"Letting a Rank 4 kid be the commander? I couldn't tolerate that either!"

"So, this newly formed thousand-man unit wasn't prepared for Li Yujiu?"

"Damn it! What in the world is Legion Commander thinking?"

"If this gets out, won't the brothers from other legions say that our Fierce Tiger Legion is currying favor and kowtowing to others?!"

The atmosphere among the onlookers immediately exploded, with everyone's Faces showing anger and great dissatisfaction with this appointment.

Although the Fierce Tiger Legion is not top-tier among all the legions in the Dragon Kingdom, it ranks among the forefront and is a famous heroic legion with a very solid combat record.

The legion's designation was personally decided by King Baihu.

If others knew that there was a Rank 4 commander in the legion, they probably wouldn't be able to lift their heads when they saw their brother legions in the future.

"Support Old Xiong and them!"

"Such a gilded fellow is not worthy of coming to our Fierce Tiger Legion!"

"Exactly, hurry home and drink milk; the battlefield isn't a game, and enemies won't respect elders or care for the young!"

For a time, the clamor among the onlookers was incessant, echoing the sounds from inside the camp.

This lively scene, if one didn't know better, they would think a mutiny had occurred!

Inside the camp.

Li Yujiu's expression had already become very grim.

The situation was developing in the worst possible direction.

He had originally thought that with Legion Commander's appointment and his own accompaniment, Wang Chen would be able to take over relatively smoothly.

Even if there was some initial discord, a few more battles would resolve it.

But now...

The crowd was agitated, and Xiong Hao's reaction was even greater than he had imagined.

At this point, Li Yujiu knew that he alone could no longer suppress it.

If Legion Commander didn't show up, it would be up to Wang Chen to solve it himself!

"I hope Wang Chen is truly as powerful as he said..."

Li Yujiu looked at Wang Chen with some worry.

He naturally understood the value of the title of the world's number one Prodigy.

For Wang Chen to have obtained it, his strength must be extraordinary.

After all, those he competed against were all powerful Six-Turn Geniuses.

However, these Centurions were not weak either.

Having gone through countless trials of blood and fire on the Myriad Heavens Battlefield and in Small Worlds, their strength was definitely top-tier among Six-Turn cultivators.

Especially Xiong Hao; his strength had been honed to be incredibly solid, and he had many times achieved the feat of directly slaying a Seven-Turn Blood Clan Marquis.

Li Yujiu was very worried that Wang Chen would lose!

At that point, things would be irreversible.

However...

Compared to Li Yujiu's deep worry, Wang Chen's state of mind was very calm at this moment.

He didn't pay any attention to the surrounding discussions.

At this moment, he merely looked calmly at Xiong Hao and the Centurions behind him, saying in a faint tone:

"I fully understand your feelings and those of all of you."

"If it were me, suddenly having someone weaker than me sitting above me, I would also be displeased!"

"What?"

Xiong Hao, his Face full of anger, his eyes darted:

"Are you chickening out now, kid?"

"You're quite sensible. If you just go back now and have Legion Commander revoke the appointment, I, Old Xiong, can take you under my wing for a while."

If he could avoid fighting, it would naturally be excellent for Xiong Hao.

This way, it wouldn't count as disobeying orders, and if Legion Commander held him accountable afterward, he would receive less punishment given the presence of so many people.

"That's not it!"

"I just understand your feelings, so I plan to make you submit willingly!"

Hearing Xiong Hao's words, Wang Chen shrugged indifferently, his tone very calm:

"After all, I am a reasonable person. I disdain to use Legion Commander's appointment to force you into submission."

"Heh heh!"

Xiong Hao sneered, his expression turning somewhat ferocious.

"Submit willingly? I'd like to see how you can make us submit willingly?"

"Of course, by beating all of you down!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Chen revealed a "kind" smile.

"How truly amusing!"

Xiong Hao nearly died laughing, his gaze towards Wang Chen incredibly cold.

Too arrogant!

Too nonsensical!

"I'd like to see what confidence you, a mere Rank 4, have to utter such big words?!"

"When I pin you to the ground and rub you into it later, don't cry like a woman!"

Speaking coldly, Xiong Hao waved his hand, and everyone immediately cleared an open space, preparing to watch the upcoming fun.

"Come on!"

Walking to the center of the open space, Xiong Hao hooked his finger mockingly.

"Just you?"

"That's not quite enough for a fight!"

Wang Chen walked with light steps to Face Xiong Hao, not looking at him, but at the few Centurions who were watching the show.

"You guys, come at me all at once!"

"Just him alone isn't even enough for me to warm up."

He hooked his finger towards the opposite side.

"Damn it!"

This arrogant demeanor immediately made Xiong Hao and those Centurions' eyes turn red.

In all their lives, this was the first time they had seen such an arrogant person!

He truly wasn't afraid of death!

"Xiong Hao, I take back what I said earlier. Hit him hard, make sure this kid can't get out of bed for at least a year."

"Beat him up, don't hold back. I'll use this year's salary for his medical expenses!"

"That's right, teach him a good lesson. If the higher-ups punish you, we'll bear it with you."

In an instant, everyone was furious, their eyes blazing with what felt like substantial anger.

"Kid!"

"You've now incurred public wrath, and everyone wants me to go easy on you, but I can't really refuse their Face."

Xiong Hao, moreover, was flexing his wrists, his knuckles cracking loudly.

The Killing Intent honed through countless bloody battles surged towards Wang Chen like a tidal wave at this moment.

Vaguely, the people around the open space seemed to hear the miserable wails of countless beings.

The Centurions could still stand their ground, but ordinary soldiers couldn't bear the pressure and involuntarily took a few steps back to relieve it.

However, facing Xiong Hao, Wang Chen was not affected in the slightest.

"Hurry up!"

"If you don't make the first move, I'm afraid you won't have a chance later!"

He hooked his finger, his expression calm and composed.
