Chapter 260: Pan Feng's Loyalty (1)
Although Lu HaiKong couldn't provide a decent explanation, as the leader of the mountain bandits, once he made a decision, Wang Jun would not oppose it, no matter how inappropriate he deemed it, as long as Lu HaiKong insisted.
Wang Jun could only change his approach to this issue. If he couldn't disband the army, he could only reduce expenses and expand business with Qiang Yin.
Truth be told, Lu HaiKong and Wang Jun were a perfect match. Whenever Wang Jun was around, no matter what Lu HaiKong got himself into, this guy would do his best to support him. Alright, from this perspective, this so-called perfect match seemed to be more for Lu HaiKong's benefit.
However, whenever Lu HaiKong did something that Wang Jun felt was amiss, he would immediately point it out. Although Wang Jun often had to clean up after Lu HaiKong, Lu HaiKong gradually began to examine his own actions.
This wasn't a sudden change of heart for Lu HaiKong, but rather the presence of Xi ZhiCai within the mountain bandits, in addition to Wang Jun. This gentle young man never expressed his opinions and suggestions in an aggressive manner, but after a few months of interaction, Xi ZhiCai had become a friend and advisor to Lu HaiKong.
At times, Lu HaiKong had to admit that Xi ZhiCai's influence on him was noticeable. After three months, Lu HaiKong was undoubtedly more composed than he had been before.
However, over these three months, Lu HaiKong had been busier than ever. He had less time to focus on his martial skills, and his strength had barely improved during this period.
Initially, Lu HaiKong would spar with Pan Feng every few days. But with various tasks piling up, whether it was the expansion of the armies or the affairs in Qiang Yin, the frequency of Lu HaiKong's spars with Pan Feng gradually decreased. It had been half a month since their last spar.
It wasn't until today that Lu HaiKong finally finished his tasks.
The expansion of the various legions was complete, and the replacement of their equipment was on track. From now on, Lu HaiKong would have more free time to focus on improving his strength.
As soon as he had some spare time, Lu HaiKong immediately went to the camp to find Pan Feng.
In reality, that kid Pan Feng had been ready to join Lu HaiKong's group long ago. But after their first spar, Lu HaiKong never mentioned recruiting him again, causing Pan Feng to feel quite dejected.
He had already prepared himself to follow Lu HaiKong, but Lu HaiKong didn't come, and he didn't bring it up. Pan Feng couldn't just go to Lu HaiKong and say, 'Boss, I want to follow you,' as that would be too embarrassing for a historical martial artist.
Pan Feng never expected that his restraint would result in Lu HaiKong not showing up for over half a month.
Of course, Lu HaiKong could see through this kid's thoughts. Didn't he notice that Pan Feng's days in the camp were becoming more and more enjoyable? Xin Ping was locked up tight, and Gao Shun had been missing for two months, ever since Lu HaiKong took him somewhere. Only Pan Feng was left in the camp, carefree all day.
But if you thought about it carefully, having Dian Wei, who wanted to beat him up at any moment, as a neighbor, it didn't seem like such a good life after all. If Dian Wei gave him a beating, Pan Feng would be lying down for a day or two.
Amidst this challenging life, Pan Feng yearned for Lu HaiKong to come.
Perhaps Pan Feng's determination was a bit too strong, as he eagerly awaited Lu HaiKong, who finally arrived.
"Let's spar."
Hearing these familiar words, Pan Feng's eyes widened as he received the weapon he adored, feeling a sense of deja vu.
Pan Feng hesitated, contemplating whether to immediately bow in respect. But before he could, Lu Hai Kong launched an attack.
As an exceptional warrior, Lu Hai Kong's assault prompted Pan Feng to instinctively react, gripping his Ghostly Axe and engaging in combat with Lu Hai Kong using the Mountain Splitting Axe Technique.
After ten spars over the past three months, both warriors were well-versed in each other's moves, eliminating the need for any probing. Lu Hai Kong initiated the Purple Aura Ascending, swiftly executing the Basic Axe Technique, one chop after another.
Typically, their spars lasted only a few minutes, with Lu Hai Kong's defeat due to exhaustion.
However, today's situation was different. After three months of training, Lu Hai Kong's understanding of the Basic Axe Technique had reached new heights. He was already capable of breaking through to level 35, but simply lacked the time to do so.
Now, Lu Hai Kong unleashed his full potential, each chop imbued with the essence of the Basic Axe Technique.
Lu Hai Kong resembled a blacksmith, hammering away at the Basic Axe Technique, refining it with each strike, making his axe technique more complete.
"He's about to break through."
Pan Feng, with his strength at level 80, had a keen eye. He instantly recognized Lu Hai Kong's current state, so he gritted his teeth and endured Lu Hai Kong's attacks.
In the 6th round, Pan Feng didn't make a single mistake!
In previous battles, Pan Feng didn't always take Lu Hai Kong's attacks head-on. Although Lu Hai Kong's skills were inferior, his strength and attacks were formidable, especially after activating the Purple Aura Ascending. Each chop was powerful.
Pan Feng was mainly concerned about his Ghostly Axe being damaged. Usually, after a few minutes of intense combat, he would seize an opening and force Lu Hai Kong to retreat, securing victory.
But today, it was clear Lu Hai Kong was about to break through. In this situation, if Pan Feng fought like he usually did, there was a 90% chance Lu Hai Kong's breakthrough would fail.
To ensure Lu Hai Kong's success, Pan Feng gritted his teeth and continued to spar.
Unexpectedly, Lu Hai Kong's attacks grew stronger and stronger, pushing Pan Feng to his limits. This was the first time in their spars that Pan Feng was pushed to such an extent.
Pan Feng clenched his teeth, and a powerful aura surged forth. His strength amplified, and he immediately activated his Unmatched General trait!
As Pan Feng unleashed his aura, a ghostly presence enveloped the arena. Dian Wei appeared, his face filled with murderous intent. Dian Wei thought Pan Feng was about to deal a fatal blow to Lu Hai Kong, but seeing the situation, he hesitated and retracted his aura.
Just as Dian Wei withdrew his aura, Lu Hai Kong's body erupted with a powerful force...
