482: Zhang Zhenfeng: It doesn’t matter, I will take action!

“Legion Commander, do you think Wang Chen can subdue Xiong Hao?”

Outside the military camp, Lin Chunzhi, who had arrived at some unknown time, suddenly looked towards the shadow beside him.

At this moment, light twisted within the shadow, and Zhang Zhenfeng's figure emerged from it. He waved his hand to interrupt Lin Chunzhi, who was about to salute, and asked curiously,

“How did you discover me, kid?”

“Your subordinate was just testing.”

Lin Chunzhi suppressed a smile and said calmly.

Zhang Zhenfeng’s profession was a Shadow Walker, and he usually loved to hide in the dark and watch his soldiers train.

It could be said that the Fierce Tiger Legion’s leap from an ordinary legion to an elite one personally designated by King Baihu, owed much to Zhang Zhenfeng’s hobby.

After all, with a Legion Commander who had such a strange quirk, how could the soldiers under him dare not exert their utmost during training?!

Therefore.

Lin Chunzhi felt that Legion Commander couldn't possibly miss such a big event today.

“Well, well!”

“I’ve been thoroughly studied by you.”

Zhang Zhenfeng shook his head with a smile, not getting angry, but rather showing a hint of pride on his face.

“Legion Commander, you haven’t given your opinion yet.”

Lin Chunzhi smiled.

“Why, if you’re unsure, why did you secretly send a message to that kid Xiong Hao?”

Zhang Zhenfeng didn't answer, but instead countered with a question.

“I also didn’t expect things to develop to this point.”

Hearing this, Lin Chunzhi smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying with some helplessness,

“I did reveal some information to stir up Xiong Hao, to create an opportunity for Wang Chen to establish his authority.”

“However, I never thought Xiong Hao would personally take action.”

“After all, although I didn’t directly mention Wang Chen’s name, I thought even if Xiong Hao was stupid, after hearing my hints and seeing Chu Dongshan’s unusual actions, he would be able to guess something.”

“But I didn’t expect him to have no reaction at all.”

“Hahaha!”

Zhang Zhenfeng couldn't help but laugh at this moment:

“So you, kid, also have times when you miscalculate?”

“This is truly rare.”

“Legion Commander, please don’t mock me. Regarding this battle, have you seen who has the advantage?”

Lin Chunzhi's face fell, his tone somewhat dejected.

Not to mention the plan they had discussed, if Wang Chen failed to become the leader because of today, Lin Chunzhi felt that he would probably be gravely sinful!

“You don’t have to worry too much!”

“Wang Chen might not lose.”

Seeing Lin Chunzhi’s dejected look, Zhang Zhenfeng smiled and comforted him,

“I also watched his battles in the Global Prodigy Competition.”

“With his strength, summoning four beast companions to steadily suppress Xiong Hao is no problem.”

“But…”

Lin Chunzhi turned his head to look at Wang Chen in the open space, the bitterness on his face growing deeper:

“Looking at him now, Wang Chen doesn’t seem to have any intention of summoning his beast companions at all.”

“That doesn’t matter either.”

Zhang Zhenfeng shook his head, his tone light:

“If he loses to Xiong Hao later, I will personally step in.”

“Then I’ll leave it to Legion Commander.”

Lin Chunzhi nodded, his gaze anxiously directed towards the open space in the military camp.

...

...

At this moment.

In the open space.

Xiong Hao looked at the calm and collected Wang Chen opposite him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

To remain composed under his intentionally released Killing Intent, this kid, putting aside everything else, his Heart-Nature, could indeed be compared to those captains under him.

However...

It was merely a slight surprise!

His evaluation of Wang Chen in his heart remained arrogant and reckless!

“It seems you’re not just a pretty face.”

“But unfortunately, the calmer you appear now, the worse it will be when you lose later.”

“Don’t try to provoke me with words. I’ve experienced more battles than you’ve eaten meals.”

“Xiong Hao…”

“Your name is Xiong Hao, correct?”

Hearing this, Wang Chen smiled, a hint of playfulness in his tone:

“I heard you just look old for your age, but now it seems there’s more to it than that.”

“You’re rambling like an old man, why so much nonsense?”

“You…”

Xiong Hao's face flashed with annoyance upon hearing this, and his gaze towards Wang Chen became even more hostile.

He usually disliked nothing more than people commenting on his appearance.

And what he hated most were guys like Wang Chen, who looked like exiled immortals from a painting!

“Kid, what do you know?!”

“I call this maturity and steadiness!”

Xiong Hao snorted coldly, his hands suddenly crossed in front of his chest. The next second, bright yellow magic power erupted from his body and spread outwards.

Wherever this magic power passed, it formed a circular area on the ground, centered on his body, with a diameter of twenty meters.

Earth Vein Blessing.

A skill exclusive to Earth Warriors, it gathers surrounding Earth power to enhance oneself, rapidly restoring stamina and increasing defense.

During the duration of this skill, as long as they don't suffer damage exceeding their endurance limit in an instant, Earth Warriors can quickly recover to their Peak state.

During the Global Prodigy Competition, Chai Yue, relying on this skill, could be said to be invincible, so tough that his opponents doubted their lives.

So, when Wang Chen saw this scene at this moment, a hint of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.

He felt a bit regretful that he hadn't been able to fight Chai Yue back then.

“Let me see how long this defense of yours can last in front of me?”

Thinking silently, Wang Chen moved his wrists, his eyes becoming serious.

Meanwhile, around them, Xiong Hao activating the Earth Vein Blessing skill immediately surprised the onlookers.

“What the?!!!”

“Xiong Hao directly activated his main combat skill? He’s actually taking a Rank 4 kid so seriously?”

“Damn it!”

“With the Earth Vein Blessing skill activated, Xiong Hao is as tough as a turtle shell. This kid probably won’t even be able to scratch him. It’s going to be a one-sided beating.”

“…”

The Centurions around the open space couldn't help but discuss animatedly, their faces showing schadenfreude.

Xiong Hao’s strength among them could be said to be top-tier, with only Chu Dongshan comparable.

Once he used this “Earth Vein Blessing” skill, the number of people present who could break his defense was less than five fingers.

This Rank 4 kid would probably be so shocked by Xiong Hao’s toughness that he’d doubt his own existence.

“Look quickly.”

“Xiong Hao has made his move.”

“This brute really shows no mercy. That kid is going to have a hard time!”

Just then, Xiong Hao sneered in the open space, and with a movement of his feet, his body shot towards Wang Chen like a cannonball.

Whoosh!

The piercing sound of air breaking had just begun when he had already arrived in front of Wang Chen.

At this moment.

Wang Chen was still standing quietly in place, maintaining his warm-up posture from earlier.

This scene, in Xiong Hao’s eyes, meant that the kid in front of him was intimidated by his Aura.

“Kid, are you scared stiff right now?”

With a sneer, he threw a punch without hesitation, aiming directly at Wang Chen’s handsome face.
