Xia Heguang frowned slightly, looked at Huang Xiaolong, and said: "Xiaolong, I know you are not convinced, but..."
Fang Yu's strength is completely inconsistent with his demonstrated cultivation.
He was able to easily defeat Yang Jian, a martial arts genius who was said to be a once-in-50-year encounter in Jiangnan, and he was also able to kill the two killers at the master level...
I think back to the piece of dead fish that suddenly floated up when I first saw Fang Yu.
Xia Heguang knew that Fang Yu's strength was definitely far beyond the level of an innate warrior.
Huang Xiaolong only saw Fang Yu's aura of cultivation, but did not notice Fang Yu's strength.
"Commander, if he is really capable, why do you stop me from requesting a duel with him? If he can beat me, then he will naturally be able to convince everyone. If he loses to me, it just proves that this person is not worthy at all.
Lead the team!" Huang Xiaolong interrupted Xia Heguang.
He was so filled with jealousy that he neglected to be respectful when talking to his superiors, and even interrupted Xia Heguang many times.
Normally, he would be punished for doing this!
"Brother Xiaolong is right! Grandpa, just let Brother Xiaolong have a one-on-one battle with this Fang Yu! You rashly let him be the captain of this competition. Not only Brother Xiaolong and the team members are dissatisfied, but I
I'm not convinced either!" Xia Weiyu, who was standing aside, glanced at Fang Yu angrily and said.
"Sister..." Xia Tinghe wanted to stop Xia Weiyu from talking, but her face was a little pale.
She has seen Fang Yu's terrifying methods, and she knows how strong Fang Yu is.
If Huang Xiaolong were to challenge Fang Yu in a duel, if Fang Yu was angered, the consequences would be disastrous!
"Tinghe, what's wrong with you today? Why would you rather help an outsider like Fang Yu than speak for us?" Xia Weiyu said with wide eyes.
Xia Tinghe sighed lightly and said no more.
She knew her sister's stubborn temper very well, and it was useless to say more now.
Xia Heguang glanced at Fang Yu and found that Fang Yu was drinking tea and looking at the birdcage hanging on a branch not far away, leisurely and contentedly.
It was as if what was happening now had nothing to do with him.
"Commander, I hope you can agree to my request! Otherwise I will never be convinced!" Huang Xiaolong bowed to Xia Heguang and said solemnly.
Xia Heguang looked solemn and said, "It depends on whether Master Fang is willing to accept your request."
After saying that, everyone looked at Fang Yu together.
At this time, Fang Yu was looking at the birds in the birdcage in a trance. Suddenly he noticed that the surroundings were quiet, so he came back to his senses and asked: "How is it? Have you reached the conclusion of your discussion?"
"Master Fang, I wonder if you... are willing to accept Xiaolong's request for a sparring session?" Xia Heguang asked.
Xia Heguang had led troops before, and he knew that it would be useless to convince the elite group outside to a captain like Fang Yu who came by air.
How strong Fang Yu is, he still has to show his strength to make them shut up completely.
Therefore, Huang Xiaolong's proposal to challenge Fang Yu in a duel is also a good opportunity for Fang Yu.
Fang Yu glanced at Huang Xiaolong, smiled faintly, and said, "Didn't he and I already compete?"
"That time also counts? You ran away directly afterwards! How can it be counted as a sparring match!" Xia Weiyu said loudly from the side.
Huang Xiaolong narrowed his eyes and said: "I know you have some brute strength, but martial arts is not just about brute force. Otherwise, all the strong men in the world are martial arts masters."
"Brute force..." Fang Yu shook his head and said, "You don't understand martial arts well enough. No matter what method you use, as long as you can defeat your opponent, you are considered a strong one."
Huang Xiaolong smiled coldly and said: "So, do you have the guts to challenge me one on one? I can prove my point. In real combat, brute force can only be regarded as an auxiliary, the most important thing is body skills and various
Fighting skills."
"Well, since you insist on having a fight, let's do it." Fang Yu stood up and stretched.
"Let's fight outside the courtyard. The fifty-four elites are outside. We can let them be witnesses to this fight." Seeing Fang Yu agree to the request, Huang Xiaolong's eyes filled with joy.
He was soon able to prove that Fang Yu was just an innate warrior with some brute strength. As a martial arts master, he could crush Fang Yu in terms of cultivation, use of Qi, and fighting skills!
At the same time, being able to show your strength in front of fifty-four elites is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to establish your authority!
…
Everyone walked outside the army compound.
There is a square array of elites standing here. In fact, most of them are warriors above the tenth level of innateness. Several of them have even reached the realm of half-step masters.
Seeing Xia Heguang coming out, these elites all saluted and shouted: "Hello, Commander!"
"This is the captain candidate selected by Marshal Xia. His name is Fang Yu." Huang Xiaolong introduced to the elites with a smile on his face.
After hearing Huang Xiaolong's words, everyone looked at Fang Yu with different eyes.
Judging from the aura emanating from Fang Yu, he is an innate warrior of the seventh and eighth levels.
This cultivation level is too low, and this person looks so young, more like a student.
Why would the commander-in-chief find such a person to lead the team?
It would be more suitable to randomly choose one of them to lead the team than this young man, right?
Of course, they did not dare to say these words out loud and could only keep them in their hearts.
However, the look in their eyes and suddenly gloomy expressions when they looked at Fang Yu said everything.
The army is a place that values strength. Even if this young man is related to Xia Heguang in some way, they will not be convinced.
"Don't be too disappointed, everyone. Fang Yu is just a candidate for captain, he may not be the captain yet." At this time, Huang Xiaolong suddenly laughed.
When he said this, the faces of the elites softened a little.
"With the commander's permission, I will have a discussion with Fang Yu to decide who will be the captain." Huang Xiaolong continued.
When he said this, all the elites became excited.
Huang Xiaolong is the direct superior of this group of people, and can even be said to be their instructor.
They are naturally willing to have Huang Xiaolong as the captain to lead them in this competition.
"Okay, take a break, you can watch our discussion from the side, which is equivalent to being a witness." Huang Xiaolong stood with his hands behind his hands and said.
The elites who had been standing upright immediately relaxed.
After a while, fifty-four elite team members sat on the grass nearby, looking at Fang Yu and Huang Xiaolong in the open space not far away.
The discussion is about to begin.
"Hey, how many punches do you think this kid can take from the lieutenant general?"
"The last time I had a boxing class with the lieutenant general, I got punched three times by him. I had a dull pain in my chest for a week... This guy's body is so weak, I think he can only take one punch at most."
"One punch? That's too weak, isn't it? How could the commander-in-chief find such a weakling to be our captain? Isn't this looking down on us?"
The elite team members whispered, and from time to time there was joking laughter.
In their opinion, Fang Yu, who only had seven or eight levels of innate cultivation, would not be able to fight in front of Huang Xiaolong.
Xia Heguang and the two sisters stood on the other side.
"Look at that Fang Yu, he's about to start a sparring match and still looks lazy. Does he really think he is some kind of peerless master? Brother Xiaolong will definitely beat him to pieces!" Xia Weiyu
Looking at Fang Yu, his eyes were full of anger.
Seeing that Xia Tinghe was silent, Xia Weiyu stretched out her hand and squeezed Xia Tinghe's arm and asked, "Tinghe, you must be optimistic about Brother Xiaolong, right?"
Xia Tinghe bit her pink lips and whispered, "I think... Fang Yu will win."
She had had nightmares in the past few nights, all she dreamed about was the scene where Fang Yu beat the two killers into pieces.
"Humph, Tinghe, you have rebelled. Now you would rather support an outsider than support Brother Xiaolong!" Xia Weiyu said a little dissatisfied.
Xia Tinghe's beautiful eyes flashed with surprise, she looked at Xia Weiyu and said: "Sister, you mean...Brother Xiaolong is not an outsider? You and him..."
Xia Weiyu's face flushed, she shook her head quickly and said, "Tinghe... don't talk nonsense, I, Brother Xiaolong and I haven't established a relationship yet."
Xia Tinghe smiled softly and said no more.
Xia and Guang both heard the conversation between the two sisters, but did not comment.
His attention now is all on Fang Yu.
Although he knew that Fang Yu was very strong, he had only heard about it.
Today, he finally had the opportunity to see Fang Yu's skills.
