150: Go! The troops are heading to Beize Lake!
The next day.
Just as dawn broke.
Su Jun, Shen Bingye, and other prodigies received a message instructing them to report to the command center.
"Why are they calling us to the command center so early?"
"Perhaps something important has come up?"
"A counterattack against the mutated beasts of Beize Lake?"
Chen Yu, Yao Ying, and a few others speculated.
Qin Lian and Rampage Loli, meanwhile, drew closer to Su Jun.
"Su Jun, you're looking quite energetic..."
Rampage Loli's bright eyes glanced at Su Jun, then at Shen Bingye.
"Rampage Loli, Su Jun is full of vigor, and his cultivation is high.
He'd be fine even after several hundred rounds of intense battle."
Qin Lian smiled ambiguously.
Since the two of them didn't deliberately lower their voices.
And all the prodigies present were very astute.
They instantly understood what Rampage Loli and Qin Lian were implying.
Chen Yu, Yao Ying, and the others looked at Su Jun and Shen Bingye with suggestive expressions.
"Brother Jun, you're the best."
Qin Shou sidled up to Su Jun, smirking, and gave him a thumbs-up.
Su Jun rolled his eyes.
He knew these people had misunderstood.
Shen Bingye hadn't stayed last night, after all.
But he was too lazy to explain.
The more you try to explain such things, the worse they get.
Shen Bingye smiled, saying nothing.
In most cases, being misunderstood is certainly not good.
But sometimes, being misunderstood can actually be quite good.
And on the way to the command center, as these prodigies walked.
Someone was secretly following behind them.
It was none other than Wu Jiang of the Dark Hall, along with his Martial Generals.
"Brother Jiang, should we make our move?"
"Make our move? Are you stupid!
There's a formation within Wu Shi City.
If Xiang Wei gets wind of it and activates the grand formation, locking down Wu Shi City, how will we get out?"
Wu Jiang glared at the Dark Hall Martial General who had spoken.
Kidnapping Su Jun in broad daylight?
Only an idiot would do that.
"Brother Jiang, what should we do then?"
"We'll observe the situation, then find an opportunity to knock Su Jun unconscious and bring him back to the Dark Hall."
"Yes."
By the time Su Jun and his group arrived at the command center.
The Corps Commanders of the Eight Great Legions, along with their capable subordinates, were all present.
Xiang Wei was not there, but his personal guard captain, Chen Han, was.
Seeing Su Jun, Chen Han's expression became somewhat unnatural.
He recalled being defeated by Su Jun yesterday.
"Su Jun, is that matter true?"
The Corps Commander of the First Legion, Commander Liu Mei, clad in black battle armor, possessed a graceful figure.
She strode towards Su Jun with long legs, a curious expression on her face.
What matter was true?
Shen Bingye, Chen Yu, and the others were curious.
The prodigies' gazes instantly fell upon Su Jun.
Aside from Commander Liu Mei, the Corps Commander of the First Legion.
The gazes of the other seven Corps Commanders also landed on Su Jun.
Su Jun was startled.
He saw Chen Han's face twitch.
He knew what Commander Liu Mei was referring to.
"Su Jun, I heard from Commander Li Feihong that you defeated Chen Han, the captain of the personal guard, in one move yesterday?"
As soon as Commander Liu Mei spoke, Chen Yu, Shen Bingye, and the other prodigies looked bewildered.
What?
Su Jun defeated Chen Han?
Chen Han, the captain of the personal guard, possessed the strength of an Advanced Martial General!
Even if Su Jun's combat power was astonishing, he could at most overwhelm an Intermediate Martial General.
How could he possibly defeat Chen Han, an Advanced Martial General?
Upon hearing Commander Liu Mei's words, Chen Han inwardly cursed.
If Commander Liu Mei had mentioned this privately.
Chen Han wouldn't have thought much of it.
But now, all eight Corps Commanders and the prodigies from the Genius Training Camp were present.
Commander Liu Mei bringing this up would make him lose a lot of face.
Indeed.
The other Corps Commanders, Shen Bingye, Chen Yu, and the others all looked at him.
Embarrassing, utterly embarrassing!
Su Jun laughed, "Corps Commander, Captain Chen went easy on me, so I was lucky enough to win."
Upon hearing this, Chen Han cast a grateful look at Su Jun.
He hadn't completely lost face, after all.
But everyone present was an astute person.
They could see that Su Jun said that to save Chen Han's face.
"Su Jun, you little fellow, it's one thing for your strength to be powerful and your talent high.
But you also handle social situations well; excellent!
If you ever consider joining the army, come to me!"
Commander Liu Mei looked at Su Jun with admiration, and the other Corps Commanders did the same.
Generally speaking, prodigies with strong abilities often have great arrogance.
But Su Jun did not, and such a prodigy could go further in the future.
"Su Jun, how is our relationship?"
Chen Yu sidled up to Su Jun, asking with a smile.
"So-so."
"Su Jun, since our relationship is so good.
Can you tell me how you defeated Chen Han, an Advanced Martial General?"
Hearing Chen Yu's response, Su Jun was startled.
He really hadn't realized that this descendant of the Ancient Martial Clan had such thick skin.
He had clearly answered that their relationship was 'so-so'.
How did it become 'good' in his mouth?
Shen Bingye, Yao Ying, and the others also stared intently at Su Jun, wanting to know the answer.
Su Jun looked at his own hands, speaking earnestly.
"Isn't it just a matter of having hands?"
What?
Just a matter of having hands?
Chen Yu, Yao Ying, and the other prodigies' faces twitched.
Is that even a human thing to say?
That was an Advanced Martial General!
Not some random Ah Gou!
These prodigies had an urge to press Su Jun to the ground and rub him!
But then they remembered that he could even defeat an Advanced Martial General.
They could only suppress that urge.
Shen Bingye looked at the humorous Su Jun, her lips curling up unconsciously.
She hadn't realized this guy was so interesting.
Hehe... Little girl is getting a crush...
A teasing voice sounded in Shen Bingye's mind.
It was the beautiful Clan Leader of the Ice Heaven Clan.
Shen Bingye responded with her mind, "So what if I'm getting a crush!"
Beautiful Clan Leader: ???
Should I find a secret technique to help you push Su Jun down?
Shen Bingye's lips curled, and she said confidently, "No need for a secret technique, I can do it myself!"
Beautiful Clan Leader: ......
With the sound of footsteps.
Xiang Wei appeared.
Today, he was clad in battle armor, holding a blood-colored long saber.
Although Xiang Wei did not release any Martial King pressure.
Everyone present felt a chill in their hearts.
"Everyone, as long as the Five-Level Beast King, the Stone Hollow Python Fish, in Beize Lake is not eliminated.
Our Wu Shi City will not know peace for a single day!
At noon today, we will march to Beize Lake and slay that Stone Hollow Python Fish!
What do you all say?"
Xiang Wei looked sharply at the eight Corps Commanders and the prodigies.
"Good!"
"Battle!"
Strong and resounding voices rang out in unison.
Su Jun was affected, his blood boiling.
In fact, he wasn't the only one; the other prodigies were the same, their eyes filled with fighting spirit.
"Eight Great Legions, heed my command!"
Commander Liu Mei, Commander Li Feihong, and the other eight stood at attention, staring intently at Xiang Wei.
"Relay my order: the Eight Great Legions are to assemble at the city gate!
Two hours from now, we march to Beize Lake!"
"Yes!"
"Commander Liu Mei, bring the teleportation scroll; if an unexpected situation arises in Wu Shi City, we will return immediately!"
"Yes!"
"Chen Han, arrange for the internal guards to secure all major transportation routes and important areas in Wu Shi City.
Each group is to contact each other every three minutes!"
"Yes..."
Under Xiang Wei's arrangements, the eight Corps Commanders, Chen Han, and others quickly carried out the military orders.
"Prodigies, I am temporarily organizing you into the Prodigy Squad.
Chen Yu will serve as the captain!"
As soon as Xiang Wei gave this order, the prodigies exchanged glances, their faces filled with confusion.
Chen Yu was also confused, "General, Su Jun's strength is above mine.
I think he should be the captain of this Prodigy Squad!"
