Chapter 455: Gun God Tong Yuan
Chapter 455: Gun God Tong Yuan
September 25, 2017
The man who stepped onto the stage appeared to be in his forties, dressed in coarse cloth, yet exuded an aura of a master.
"Master!" exclaimed the boy on the right, seeing the figure before him.
"This old man's eagerness for his beloved disciple has made him reckless!" The man first apologized to Pan Feng, who had already reached the halfway point and was in charge of the arena, then turned to the boy on the right and said, "My apologies," before turning to face his young disciple.
Just as he was about to say something, Lu Haikong arrived with Zhao Yue'er on the arena.
"We have long heard of the great name of Gun God Tong Yuan, Mr. Dong. Today, we are fortunate to witness his extraordinary demeanor."
Indeed, the old man before them was the legendary Gun God Tong Yuan, and behind him was the young Zhao Zilong, the legendary White Horse Silver Spear, who had never tasted defeat.
As Lu Haikong had said, today's duel truly showcased a dazzling array of generals. Not only was there Wen Chen, who had already grown into a top-tier warrior, but also the legendary first male god of the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Zilong, and the young Zhang Liao, who had bravely challenged Zhao Zilong.
With such a stellar gathering, Lu Haikong couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.
"Greetings, Lord!"
Seeing Lu Haikong and Zhao Yue'er on the arena, all the staff members present saluted Lu Haikong with a fist-to-chest military salute.
This sudden display left the five people still standing on the arena a bit dazed. The first to react was Yu Dian, Lu Haikong's fervent admirer, who, upon realizing what was happening, joyfully followed the example of the nearby warriors and saluted.
Soon, Wen Chen and the others also snapped out of their daze. The young man before them, who seemed overly youthful, was the legendary Governor of Bingzhou. They all bowed in greeting.
"Greetings, Governor."
Lu Haikong approached and helped them up one by one, saying, "Today, Lu is fortunate to have gained five valiant warriors. How fortunate!"
What a shameless fellow! He didn't even ask if they wanted to be his disciples and immediately gave them a final judgment.
Wen Chen and Yu Dian didn't mind this situation. One was here to enlist, and the other was Lu Haikong's fervent admirer; they had no objections.
As for the two young lads, Zhang Liao wore a proud expression as he looked at Lu Haikong, while Zhao Yun seemed a bit bewildered. He didn't quite understand what was happening. Not to mention him, even Gun God Tong Yuan himself looked a bit confused.
He had only brought Zhao Yun to meet an old friend, but after waiting for several days, he still hadn't met his friend. Out of boredom, he noticed the arena and thought his young disciple could use some combat experience, so he sent him over without much thought.
Only after Zhao Yun went up did he realize this was a recruitment for warrior generals.
He felt a bit regretful, but since Zhao Yun had already gone up, it wouldn't be appropriate to pull him down now. Besides, it was just a trial, and that young lad probably wouldn't be chosen anyway."
However, he didn't expect that as soon as his disciple finished his duel, the Governor of Bingzhou would appear. Gun God Tong Yuan felt a bit let down. In all conscience, he had no intention of coming out of seclusion, and his precious disciple hadn't even completed his apprenticeship, making it even more impossible.
"To have gained all of you is a blessing for Lu Haikong. Please follow me; I have prepared a feast."
Of course, Lu Haikong knew that Gun God Tong Yuan and Zhao Yun wouldn't be easily convinced to join him. He first calmed them down, and then the five of them were led away, feeling a bit dazed.
With Lu HaiKong's current abilities, it would be much easier to recruit these guys.
On the way from the arena to the city, Lu HaiKong had already more or less understood the mentality of these five individuals.
When he learned that among the five, the easiest to recruit was unexpectedly Wen Ugly, his eyes lit up. At least, he thought, there was a top-tier historical general that he could secure.
As for the remaining two, Gun God Tong and Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, this young lad, was from a small military clan in Yanmen. His family originally held some power within the military, but Lu HaiKong had inadvertently cleared out the military when he took control of Yanmen Prefecture.
The Zhang family was a pure military clan, and being cleared out of the military meant their decline.
Although they hated Lu HaiKong to the core for removing them from the military, what could they do? With Lu HaiKong's current influence, they didn't even dare to show their hatred.
Originally, the Zhang family thought they had no chance of recovery, but then they heard that Qiangyin was setting up a recruitment notice board for generals, without inquiring about background or identity. The Zhang family felt their opportunity had come.
They still had a supreme genius in their family, Zhang Liao, who was only twelve years old and already the top expert in the Zhang family. In this situation, he was sent to Qiangyin.
It could be said that this young boy came with the mission of reviving his family, and also to seek refuge with Lu HaiKong. However, this proud young man inwardly had various grievances against Lu HaiKong.
In the arena, there was no mistake in this version!
To be honest, among the three historical generals, Lu HaiKong was the least concerned about Zhang Liao's arrival.
Because this guy was already within Lu HaiKong's calculations, with his current influence, after understanding Zhang Liao's family background, getting Zhang Liao over was as simple as it could be.
In response to the Zhang family's actions, they were actually all aimed at this young lad. Lu HaiKong hadn't expected that this young lad would arrive at such a time, coincidentally running into Zhao Yun, and even defeating him.
Of course, Zhang Liao's victory over Zhao Yun was somewhat questionable. On one hand, it was because Zhao Yun had an in-battle enlightenment, and on the other hand, Zhao Yun's weapon was too rudimentary, which led to this defeat. The true combat strength of the two was still stronger in Zhao Yun.
However, these details weren't important. For Lu HaiKong, what mattered was whether he could keep all five of them, especially the most difficult ones, Gun God Tong and Zhao Yun!
Gun God Tong and Zhao Yun, these two masters and disciples, were a spear god in the Three Kingdoms. Although Lu HaiKong hadn't seen it, their combat strength was at least 98 or above. As for Zhao Yun, this young lad, his combat strength at this time was only around 70, but his potential was strong.
There was no need to mention battle records or evaluations; in the Three Kingdoms, the name Zhao Yun was a golden brand. With this brand, countless people would come to compete for him.
Lu HaiKong really wanted to keep this master and disciple, but throughout the journey, he had already tested them, and it seemed like they didn't have much intention of staying.
To be precise, it should be said that Gun God Tong didn't want to come out of seclusion.
Along the way, this old man had explicitly and implicitly hinted to Lu HaiKong several times that he had misunderstood. Tomorrow, he would be taking Zhao Yun back to the mountains to cultivate...
